Chapter 93 Persuasion (two more)
“Could it be Duke Wei?” Mrs. Gu Tai thought of Miss Wei Jiu who suddenly came to visit today.
Gu Jian looked at her in confusion.
He just returned to the mansion before the incense stick, and sat down to drink tea at the Cihetang. Gu Yuan came back. The three of them only exchanged a few words, but didn’t have time to say too much, so Gu Jian was very concerned about what happened in Hou’s mansion today. Nothing is known yet.
Mrs. Gu Tai looked at Gu Yanfei with complicated eyes, and asked in a deep voice, “Yan Fei, why is Miss Wei Jiu from Duke Wei’s residence visiting today?”
Her eyes were shining, and she was holding the string of Buddha beads tightly in her hands.
In the eyes of the other three people with different expressions, Gu Yanfei said calmly: “I saved the Duke of Wei, and Miss Wei Jiu came to the door specially to thank you.”
When spoke, there was a faint smile on her lips, as if she was talking about a trivial matter.
The room was silent for a while.
“Hugh is talking nonsense!” Gu Jian first reprimanded, disapproving.
The story of Duke Wei vomiting blood in Tianyin Pavilion has spread widely in Beijing, from the dignitaries to the common people. !
Seeing the second uncle scolding his sister, Gu Yuan pursed his thin lips slightly, and his face was worried.
Mrs. Gu Tai’s eyes were unclear, and she asked patiently, “Yan Fei, do you still know medical skills?”
The word “also” is very meaningful.
“Understood.” Gu Yanfei replied as a matter of course, the smile on his face became even wider, revealing a pair of lovely swirls.
She is telling the truth, but it makes people feel that it is both true and false.
Thinking about what happened a few days ago, Mrs. Gu Tai twitched the corners of her eyes, looked at her with a deep look, and asked, “Where did you learn it?”
Gu Yanfei caressed his sleeve lightly, and this time, he said half-truly, “Didn’t I tell Mrs. Tai before that when I was in Huaibei, the real person Ling Xiao accepted me as a disciple and taught me a lot of skills.”
“Do you believe Mrs. Tai?”
She tilted her head slightly and smiled, making Mrs. Gu Tai unable to see through her.
“…” Mrs. Gu Tai was silent, pursing her lips tightly, and the wrinkles at the corners of her mouth became deeper and deeper.
Last time, Mrs. Gu Tai had no choice but to bow her head to Gu Yanfei for Gu Yunxian’s marriage, so she could only deal with Su Niang.
Two days after the incident, she finally calmed down and thought about the whole thing over and over again. She always felt that something was wrong, and she became suspicious of Gu Yanfei’s so-called fortune-telling ability.
“Mrs. Tai doesn’t believe it, forget it.” As Gu Yanfei said, he pulled up Gu Yuan beside him.
“Brother, let’s go. Mrs. Wei Guogong gave me a sweaty BMW. It looks beautiful and runs fast. Brother, let’s walk the horse together, okay?!”
“Okay, I got a ten-day vacation this time. What do you want to do? Big brother will accompany you.”
The two brothers and sisters walked out of the Cihetang with a smile, chatting happily and leaving Mrs. Gu Tai there.
“…” Mrs. Gu Tai wanted to stop the brothers and sisters, her mouth slightly opened, but she didn’t speak after all, her eyes were uncertain.
The cheerful chatter and laughter of the two brothers and sisters quickly disappeared, and after a while, nothing could be heard.
In the Dongji room, it suddenly became quiet and the atmosphere was condensed.
The cold wind howling outside the window beat on the window lattice, making a crackling sound.
Mrs. Gu Tai held back her anger and complained to her son, “This girl Gu Yanfei is too wild.”
She was so angry that she was suffocated in her chest, and hurriedly went to serve the tea cup, but Gu Jian was absent-minded and didn’t hear what Mrs. Gu Tai said at all. The person he cared more about was Gu Yuan.
“Mother,” Gu Jian frowned deeply and couldn’t help but say, “What do you think Brother Yuan’s promotion means this time?”
After said the words, he realized that he was acting a little impatient, so he coughed twice, raised his hand and made a gesture.
Li Mammy, who was beside her, has always been good at observing words and expressions, so she softly greeted all the little maids in the room and stayed outside in person.
Only Mrs. Gu Tai and her son were left in the room.
The charcoal fire made the air in the house a little stuffy.
After pondering for a moment, Gu Jian said again: “Mother… the events of the past, Chao Shang finally began to forget, and now transfer Brother Yuan back to Beijing, and let him appear in front of others in such a grand manner, will he let him go again? They remembered…the big brother surrendered to the enemy in the past.”
After a pause, he added with a sigh: “Eight years… It’s hard for everyone to forget it.”
The cold wind in the courtyard was more violent, whistling, and the window lattice seemed to fly away.
Thinking of the past eight years ago, Mrs. Gu Tai was also worried, and her brows furrowed even tighter.
In those days, their entire family was almost deprived of titles, exiled, and even beheaded because of their eldest son’s surrender to the enemy. Thanks to her sister-in-law who rescued King Kang in Yangzhou, the whole family survived the disaster, and they have a good life now.
Thinking about it so far, Mrs. Gu Tai is still afraid, her turbid eyes are bright and disappearing, and she is slowly twisting the beads in her hand.
After a while, she hesitated and said, “Ajian, now the new emperor is on the throne, this time is different from the past…”
Everyone in the court knows that in the battle between Dajing and the Yue Kingdom eight years ago, the first emperor fought together, and today the emperor fought. Vietnam is the quality.
The previous emperor has passed away, and he will take the throne now, so he may not care about the past.
Gu Jian’s right fist was tightly clenched in a position where Mrs. Gu Tai couldn’t see it, and the back of her hand was full of blue veins.
“Mother, I don’t think it’s right.” There was a haze in Gu Jian’s eyes, but when facing Mrs. Gu Tai, she was sincere and tried to convince her with careful words, “The location of Shenjiying Thousand Households is too eye-catching. , there are so many eyes staring at the capital, even if the emperor didn’t care about a mere brother Yuan, but if everyone said to him, the sacred heart is unpredictable, what do you think the emperor would think?”
“Qi Da Fei, although this position is good, but our Gu family really can’t afford it. Today’s brother Yuan is even more unworthy of virtue.”
Gu Jian speaks plausibly, with a high-sounding style.
Mrs. Gu Tai was even more hesitant when he said it, but she didn’t nod her head. She was really reluctant to give up such a good fat shortage. This is an errand that can’t be found even with a lantern. If it wasn’t for Duke Wei’s residence, it wouldn’t have fallen to their Gu family!
They took care of their family to finally have the momentum to rise again…
“Mother,” Gu Jian got up, sat on the kang, and held Mrs. Gu Tai’s hand, “You said… let Brother Yuan give this position to the eldest uncle, how about an exchange between the two?”
The eldest uncle in Gu Jian’s mouth refers to Gu Yunzhen’s fiancé, Murong Yong.
Murong Yong is currently serving as the fifth-rank Xiaoqiwei in Shenji Camp, but unfortunately it is only a vacant position, far less than Gu Yuande’s real shortage.
What? ! Mrs. Gu Tai’s eyes widened in shock. She didn’t expect Gu Jian to come up with such an idea, so she couldn’t help shaking her head.
“This is also for Sister Concubine.” Gu Jian stared at every change in Mrs. Gu Tai’s expression, her voice softened and slowed down, “You can also see that the eldest uncle is a young general with a promising future, but he is suffering from difficulties. There is no good opportunity, but this time, the credit for suppressing bandits in Qingzhou can only be such a false title.”
“If the eldest uncle can get this real shortage, even the queen mother will give it a high look, then there will be no more mistakes in the marriage of sister 嫆.”
“Mother, instead of believing that Yan Fei’s wild girl can figure it out, it’s better to convince the Queen Mother with more practical benefits!”
“Sister Concubine is good, our Houfu will be good. In the future, the family will always be able to compensate Brother Yuan.”
“Think about it, is this the truth?”
Gu Jian talked incessantly, and persuaded him well.
“…” Mrs. Gu Tai felt that what the second son said was reasonable and slightly moved, but in her heart, she felt that doing so was a bit sorry for Gu Yuan.
Gu Yuan is also her own grandson. Both parents died. Her grandmother should have taken care of her a little more…
Gu Jian stared at Mrs. Gu Tai’s expression closely, the haze in her eyes became more and more intense, and she threw out the trump card: “Mother, the Hou residence has not yet established a son…”
One sentence made Mrs. Gu’s heart shrink.
Gu Jian has been inheriting the title of Marquis Dingyuan for eight years. Over the years, the Gu family has been asking for the title son for his eldest son, Gu Xiao, every year, but all the papers handed over are always in vain.
It is obvious that the late emperor was brooding about Gu Ce’s collaborating with the enemy, and even the Gu family was tired of it.
This year, after Jinshang ascended the throne, he has awarded many honors and honors of the royal family, and even several honorable honors and honors from the fallen households have also decided on the candidates for the heir, except for the Dingyuan Houfu.
The undecided son means that there is no heir to the title, which means that there is no Sacred Heart, and the title is in jeopardy.
For Mrs. Gu Tai, the title is her lifeblood.
Once the title is lost, the Gu family will be reduced to mud in the ground, and anyone can step on it.
This is something that Mrs. Gu Tai can’t bear.
Finally, Mrs. Gu Tai nodded: “Okay.”
A word is finalized.
The shadows of the trees outside the window swaying wildly in the cold wind were reflected in Gu Jian’s eyes, making his whole person reveal a sinister aura.
His pupils were surprisingly bright, and a frantic joy flashed through him, trying his best to suppress and restrain the turbulent emotions in his heart.
When the eldest brother Gu Ce was alive, everyone said that he was amazing and talented. When he learned that he was the younger brother of Gu Ce, he sighed with regret.
Since childhood, Gu Jian has lived in the shadow of his eldest brother. He originally thought that this was the case in this life, and his life was untidy…
He never thought that one day the title of Marquis Dingyuan would fall to him.
Since God has destined this title to belong to him, no one wants to take it away from him!
With him around, Gu Yuan would never want to fly out of his palm in his entire life…
Mrs. Gu Tai didn’t pay attention to Gu Jian’s abnormality, she picked up the tea cup and drank the tea without knowing the taste.
After the good Longjing tea is imported, only a mouthful of bitterness is left.
Mrs. Gu Tai knew in her heart that Duke Wei had probably received some kind of favor from Gu Yanfei.
If the position of Shenjiying Qianhu was a gift given by Duke Wei, then whether it was for Gu Yuan or Murong Yong, it was the same, and it was all for them to take care of the family.
Moreover, if Murong Yong gets this position, when Gu Yunzhen gets married in the coming year, he will have more face, and he will definitely be more valued by his in-laws, which can be said to kill three birds with one stone.
This is good for everyone.
Just like what the second son said, they just need to compensate Brother Yuan well in the future, the days are still long.
