Chapter 29
Chapter 28 The hero is a cousin (1)
After the forced palace was over, the emperor naturally had no intention of continuing to hold the birthday banquet. Those who attended the birthday banquet all went out of the palace and returned home.
But all people are in panic, lest they be involved in such rebellious events, and affect the whole family.
Which prince Ningyuan Hou Mansion supported, and Gu Wenjing’s preferred seven princes did not fall, but the people in the Hou Mansion were not so worried, but they were frightened when they forced the palace, and all of them were exhausted.
The adults are okay. Gu Zhenghong, a child, even if he is smart and sensible, is still too young. Today, he is very scared.
After I went back, I had a fever at night. Fortunately, a resident doctor in the Hou Mansion lived in the mansion, and he gave Gu Zhenghong his pulse and prescribed a prescription in time.
Gu Wenjing stood by his son’s bed and watched Cheng Yuhua cautiously give medicine to his blushing son. He coaxed his son next to him: “Hong’er is good, it’s not uncomfortable to drink the medicine. After drinking it, eat sweets. Sweet preserves.”
After Gu Zhenghong sensibly drank the dark concoction, Gu Wenjing quickly stuffed a candied fruit into his mouth to let him go away from the bitterness.
There was a tranquilizer in the decoction, so Gu Zhenghong fell asleep after a while.
Gu Wenjing wiped his son’s red face with a towel, then motioned to Cheng Yuhua with his eyes, and the two came out lightly.
Gu Wenjing lowered his voice and said, “I will be very busy these days. I can’t accompany Hong’er, so I will bother you more.”
Cheng Yuhua also knows that such a major event has just happened, and there must be a big change in the court. It is related to the family. She knows the general idea: “Don’t worry, my husband, Hong’er is my parent and child. I will take good care of him.”
Gu Wen nodded at the scenic spot, glanced at the little figure lying on the bed separated by the veil, turned and left.
When he came to the large study in the front yard, Ning Yuanhou was already waiting for him.
Seeing Gu Wenjing coming in, Ning Yuanhou asked with concern: “How is Hong’er?”
Gu Wenjing replied: “After drinking the medicine, I have fallen asleep.”
Ning Yuanhou was worried about his grandson, but at this critical moment he couldn’t put aside his things to guard his grandson, so he changed the topic: “Today is forcing the palace, the first prince assassinates his majesty, and the third and sixth princes buy the imperial army to force the palace. They couldn’t turn back because of the love between father and son. Fortunately, the four princes didn’t get involved.”
The second girl in the Hou Mansion married the fourth prince and became a concubine. If he gets involved, it may be implicated in the Ningyuan Mansion.
“Wenjing, do you think the four princes now have a chance…” Even if the Ningyuan Hou Mansion has always insisted on neutrality, but to this point, the four most powerful princes have folded three in, and there is only one fourth prince left. The four princes are also related by marriage to the Hou Mansion. Even Ningyuan Hou Mansion couldn’t help being a little tempted, but he knew that the emperor’s bones were already very bad, otherwise how could the three princes rush to do something at the emperor’s birthday banquet.
Gu Wenjing said, “Father, didn’t you say that the Gu family wants to remain neutral?”
Ning Yuanhou smiled awkwardly: “Isn’t this the best chance to see the Fourth Prince…”
Gu Wenjing smiled faintly: “The four princes have the best chance? That’s not necessarily true.”
The four princes did not do anything at the birthday banquet today, probably because he was not as courageous and courageous as the other three princes. Therefore, facing the emperor’s bait, he did not dare to bite it, and escaped by accident.
It’s just that the mother of the four princes is honorable, or honorable with military power in his hand. Although that bit of military power is nothing, it also provoked the emperor’s taboo. If the four princes are placed in power, they will inevitably have to worry about their relatives sitting big.
“The son thinks that the seventh prince has the best chance. The seventh prince’s family is declining, so there is no need to worry about relatives. Moreover, the seven princes and concubines have died young, and the queen has no children. The Hubu Shangshu will not be released.”
Even if Cheng’en Gong Mansion bears the name of Guo Gong Mansion, in fact it is not considered to be prominent, and there is not much power. The queen has no children and no daughters. There is also a concubine in the palace who is favored by the emperor. It’s better.
In the past, in order to deal with the Shangshu of the Ministry of Households and give the seven princes a certificate of fame, Gong’en Gong’s Mansion can be said to be struggling with the six princes to death, consuming all the favor of the ancestors.
The seventh prince also liked the personal connections of Cheng’en Gongfu, but it was difficult to get a good relationship, as well as the status of the queen’s prostitute.
In this society that values the concubine, if you are the Seventh Prince and become a named concubine by the queen, those courtiers who support the tradition of establishing the concubine will all join the Seventh Prince.
It is a pity that the queen has no sons, otherwise her sons will be destined to be canonized as princes. There will not be so many princes parties at that time. Only the princes and all the princes are the princes. As the princes, they are their insurmountable mountains.
It is conceivable how important the identity of a prostitute is. But a queen without a protagonist is just empty. The queen also hopes that the prince she supports will be on the top. The seventh prince without her biological mother is also the best choice. She doesn’t want to be a mother queen in the future, and there is also a mother queen. Ge Ying her.
Ning Yuanhou pondered for a while, and said: “Whether it is the fourth prince or the seventh prince, we still don’t stand in line, let’s follow your majesty.”
Gu Wen nodded at the scenic spot.
So the father and son finally decided to keep a low profile from beginning to end amidst the controversy.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<
The next day.
In the early morning, Gu Wenjing found that many familiar faces had not come.
A lot of things happened last night. It seems that these people who did not come should have been planted last night.
The emperor was escorted to the court. Seeing his staggering steps, all the courtiers knew the emperor’s health.
The emperor sat on the dragon chair and said two words indifferently: “Declaration!”
Then the chief eunuch, standing next to the dragon chair, took a stack of imperial decree and began to read it.
The great prince assassinated the father, he was rebellious, and gave him death!
The three princes and the six princes led troops to force the palace, conspired to commit serious crimes, deprived of the prince’s identity, demoted as a common man, and exiled for three thousand miles.
The four princes knew not to report, secretly assisted the rebels, deprived the king, and banned them.
The four former princes who had the greatest hope of winning the protagonist all fell, and their party members were either ransacked, demoted, or exiled in the following imperial decree.
Not only did the officials who did not come this morning suffer bad luck, but the officials who came to the early morning today thought they would have escaped, and many of them were dragged down on the spot.
Gu Wenjing listened to the announcements of the imperial decree with his heart in his heart. Unexpectedly, the emperor could really take care of it. The eldest prince gave him death. The three princes and the six princes were spoiled, and being exiled for three thousand miles was almost a dead end. The four princes were a little better. It’s just a confinement, but life is not as good as death to be imprisoned for a lifetime.
Then another imperial decree was read out: “Feng Tian, the emperor’s edict said: I have been thirty and one year since I became the throne… My seven sons, talented and intelligent… Now the seventh prince is the crown prince…”
Gu Wenjing lowered his head and listened to the imperial decree canonizing the Seventh Prince as Prince. He was not surprised, after all, he knew that the Seventh Prince would be the ultimate winner. It’s just that the emperor didn’t remember the seventh prince as the prince before he made the seventh prince the prince.
He recalled where he had deviated from the original track. It was evident from the impeachment of the Shangshu of the Household Department by Chengen Gongfu that the queen was in alliance with the seven princes. Is it because the emperor did not want the future prince to have too much relationship with the queen close?
The seventh prince is a concubine, and he will have to respect the queen’s aunt as the empress dowager when he becomes a throne, but Chengen Gongfu is not the real mother’s family of the new emperor, and the two sides are separated by a floor. But if the Seventh Prince is recorded under the Queen’s name, even if the Queen is not born, he is his only mother, and Chengen Gongfu is also the rightful mother of the Seventh Prince.
The emperor was concerned about the power of his relatives, so it is understandable that he did not record the seven princes as his sons.
Gu Wenjing was surprised that in the original plot, why was the seventh prince recorded by the emperor as a prostitute?
Perhaps only the big eyeball subsystem knew about this problem, and Gu Wenjing didn’t bother to guess, anyway, everything was basically settled.
Because after the prince was established, it was the imperial decree for the prince to supervise the country on behalf of the emperor.
The civil and military officials basically spent this early dynasty on their knees, because they had been reading the imperial edict, and finally the **** chief became hoarse, and finally the reading was finished.
The emperor sat on the dragon chair expressionlessly, and said the third and fourth words of the early dynasty today: “Retreat to the dynasty!”
After that, the emperor rarely went to the early court, and often stopped the court, or let the prince come forward to handle government affairs on his behalf.
Gu Wenjing also discovered that more and more of the handwriting corrected on the memorial was written by His Royal Highness, but the handwriting corrected by the emperor was not as vigorous as before. Obviously, the illness had affected the emperor’s writing status.
Gu Wenjing knew that the emperor might not be long ago.
Hubu Shangshu was unlucky with the six princes and was exiled by his family. Gu Wenjing, the right servant who was temporarily working for Shangshu, took advantage of the situation.
Gu Wenjing, who was promoted to Shangshu of the Ministry of Households, was the second-rank official, but he was still as busy as before. After all, he had already begun temporary work on behalf of Shangshu, and everything was in order.
After the tension passed, Gu Wenjing also paid close attention to the situation of potato planting.
In the village under his name, potatoes have been planted, and the growth is good, almost when the harvest is about to come.
Although it is only the first time to plant potatoes, Gu Wenjing believes that the yield will not be low.
In June, Gu Wenjing personally went to Zhuangzi outside the capital and dug a nest of potatoes by himself. He wiped his sweat and watched other people busy digging potatoes in the field, and there were more and more piles beside the ridge. He couldn’t help smiling at the potato.
Qingyan, who has been paying close attention to potato cultivation, also realized the significance of the abundance of potatoes, and leaned in front of Gu Wenjing to congratulate him: “Congratulations to my son, congratulations to my son!”
Gu Wenjing smiled and pointed to the pile of potatoes that he dug out, and said, “Bring all the potatoes I dug back to the mansion, and let the chef of the mansion cook some delicious dishes or make noodles, so that the mansion will also Taste it all.”
The two baskets of potatoes that Li Chang brought back were to be kept for planting. Gu Wenjing couldn’t bear to eat them. Now that he has harvested so many potatoes, he missed the taste of vinegar shredded potatoes and beef and potato flour.
<<<<<<<<<<<<
Gu Wenjing brought the potatoes back to the Hou Mansion, and personally told the chef how to do it. Although the chef had never seen potatoes, he understood how to do it after a little mention. He also used his imagination to change the tricks and did a few more ways. Potatoes are the raw material for dishes.
As a result, Houfu’s lunch had a few unfamiliar dishes. Gu Wenjing introduced to everyone: “This is a new variety of food brought back by my fleet from overseas. The taste is very good. Let’s try it.”
There is a fleet of ships going to sea under Gu Wenjing’s name, and the master of the Hou Mansion basically knows, because the Hou Mansion generates so much income every year that it can’t hide from the interested people.
Ning Yuanhou and Yuan’s family only asked Gu Wenjing about their private property, anyway, they think that the entire Hou Mansion will be his in the future, so why bother to worry about their son’s private property. Even if Gu Shaoping had envy, jealousy and dissatisfaction in his heart, he did not dare to show it.
Gu Wenjing now said that the potato dishes are specialties from overseas, and everyone was curious to taste it.
“It tastes really good, it’s delicious.”
Gu Wenjing knew that their praise was also based on his face, and the taste of potatoes was tasted in the mouths of those who were used to eating the delicacies of mountains and seas, that is to say, it was a novelty, no matter how delicious it was. Moreover, the first time the cook used potatoes for cooking, even when Gu Wenjing ate it, he felt that it was different from what he had eaten before crossing in his memory.
However, most of the dishes made with potatoes in the last few plates were eaten by Gu Wenjing, because he was the only person present who knew how much benefit these potatoes could bring to the Hou Mansion. Thinking of these, let alone the potatoes taste good, even if they are unpalatable. , He can eat it all.
After lunch, Gu Wenjing paid a private visit to Ning Yuanhou and discussed potatoes with him.
Regarding potatoes, Gu Wenjing has issued a ban, and relevant insiders have been monitored, even Yuan Shi Cheng Yuhua and others did not tell him.
“Father, today’s lunch dishes are made from overseas crops called potatoes. Do you know how much potatoes are produced?”
Ning Yuanhou originally didn’t care about the potatoes. He only thought it was his son’s filial piety, so he gave them a taste of overseas specialties. Now hearing his son ask about the output as if it were sold out, he suddenly realized the hidden meaning: “Could the output be high?”
Gu Wenjing smiled, and did not continue to sell it: “Yes, the yield per mu is a thousand catties!”
He went to the village to dig potatoes and saw the tenants dig out all the potatoes in the field. Because there are too few potatoes, the two baskets of potatoes can only be planted in less than half an acre of land, but even with such a small amount of land, hundreds of catties of potatoes have been harvested. It is conceivable that the yield of a full acre of land is absolute. Can be over a thousand catties!
Ning Yuanhou was so shocked that all the tea cups in his hand fell, but he couldn’t care that his favorite celadon tea cup was thrown. He quickly asked: “Wenjing, are you sure? Is it really a thousand catties per mu?!”
Gu Wen said at the scenic spot: “My son has sent someone to try planting on Zhuangzi. I planted it in March and harvested it in June. There was not enough potatoes. I only planted less than half an acre of land, but I harvested more than 400 catties. A full acre of land can definitely harvest more than one thousand catties.”
Ning Yuanhou paced back and forth excitedly: “Okay! Great! Wenjing, this is a great contribution! You should report it immediately, and you must not leak the news and be preempted by others!”
Gu Wenjing smiled and said: “Father, don’t be so anxious for the time being. It’s better to try planting a few more times to expand production. At least you should plant an acre of land to see the harvest before you report it. And you should pick a good time to report.”
Ning Yuanhou was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted. Gu Wenjing said that the good time was when the crown prince was enthroned. At this time, the emperor was seriously ill, and the prince was just supervising the country. Now it is indeed not the right time for the prince to enthroned.
Ning Yuanhou hesitated for a moment and said, “Will that delay the promotion of potatoes.” At this time, I don’t know how long to wait. If you report to promote potato cultivation as soon as possible, you can fill up the stomachs of the people one step earlier.
Although Ning Yuanhou valued family interests, he was not unconcerned with the people.
Of course, Gu Wenjing is not the kind of black-hearted person who ignores the life and death of the people in the world for his own benefit. He said: “Even if it is reported now, it is impossible to promote it immediately. The number of potatoes is still too small. Even if these four hundred catties of potatoes are all Keep it for planting. Even the acres of land on my village are dissatisfied, let alone spreading it to all parts of the country.”
Potatoes want to expand production, at least a few more waves must be harvested, and there are enough potato seeds to officially start promotion. And this time is not short, maybe when the crown prince is enthroned, there is no time for full promotion.
Gu Wenjing’s statement was justified, and Ning Yuanhou nodded and said, “You can figure this out, and support you behind your father’s back.”
<<<<<<<<<<<<
Another year later, the death knell was sounded in the capital, and the emperor who was lingering in bed died.
The prince enthroned as the new emperor.
After the new emperor ascended the throne, Ning Yuan Hou, who had already given up his power and only hung on his position and marquis, passed the letter to his son Gu Wenjing and retired himself.
The title of Marquis of Ning Yuan was handed down from the generation of Gu Wenjing’s great-grandfather. The grace of the emperor at that time was inherited for three generations. It happened to be passed on to the third generation of Marquis of Ning Yuan. In the generation of Marquis of Gu Wenjing, the inheritance was not the marquis, but just Earl, after Gu Wenjing inherited the title, he can only be called Ning Yuanbo.
So Ning Yuanhou and Gu Wenjing planned to pass on the title to their son before Ning Yuanhou Shangzhezi asked for the title to be passed on to their son.
Then, without waiting for the new emperor’s decree, Gu Wenjing went up the first morning after the new emperor ascended the throne, and the first one went forward and reported: “Your Majesty, the minister has something beneficial to the country and the people to offer to your majesty! ”
The new emperor admired Gu Wenjing very much when he was still the seventh prince, and later became the crown prince to supervise the country, and it was he who promoted Gu Wenjing to the household secretary.
Now that he has just ascended the throne, Gu Wenjing said that things that benefit the country and the people should be offered to him, and immediately looked forward to: “What is Gu Aiqing’s offering?”
Then Gu Wenjing asked people to present the things that had been prepared a long time ago.
The potatoes dedicated to the emperor, of course, can’t be done by filling two big baskets with potatoes like Li Chang did at the beginning. Gu Wenjing did it very carefully and ordered people to wash the two good potatoes and put them on the plate. They made a vinegar shredded potato, a bowl of mutton and potato flour, and a generous amount of potato pancakes.
The four plates and bowls came in, everyone was stunned, I don’t know what Gu Wenjing meant, offering food to the emperor?
Gu Wenjing stepped forward and pointed to the two potatoes on the first plate and introduced: “Your Majesty, this is a local product that the Weichen fleet got from overseas, called potatoes. The other is food made from potatoes. . And this potato is easy to be full, rich in nutrition, suitable for all ages, and can yield thousands of catties per mu!”
The emperor abruptly got up, stepped down from above, and looked carefully at the potatoes in Gu Wenjing’s mouth.
He reached out and picked up a pair of silver chopsticks, picked up a chopsticks and vinegared potato shreds, took another bite of potato flour, and then looked at the thick potato cakes on the last plate. He looked at Gu Wenjing in disbelief: “What Gu Aiqing said is nothing. Really? This potato can really yield a thousand catties per mu?”
Gu Wenjing smiled and said: “Your Majesty, if the minister had not experimented with planting, and it was determined that the yield per mu could be thousands of catties, how could the minister easily say this?”
The emperor was pleasantly surprised and laughed: “Okay! It’s great! Aiqing is a great success! Aiqing tell me about this potato!”
The excitement and joy in the emperor’s heart at this time was beyond words. He felt that this was God’s will to help him. He was destined to become a prosperous king. Not only did he send him a minister like Gu Wenjing, but he also sent a gift that can produce thousands of catties per mu to make the world people The fetish of a full stomach!
Gu Wenjing smiled and explained in detail: “Your Majesty, this potato will sprout in a humid environment. Potato planting is to cut the sprout potatoes into pieces and bury them in the soil separately. The temperature should not be too high, and it is suitable for planting in a low temperature environment. However, Sprouted potatoes are poisonous and cannot be eaten. Potatoes that do not have sprouting are no problem. Potatoes are not picky about the planting environment. They are planted in March and harvested in June. They can be planted twice a year. For the second time, they are also suitable for planting potatoes in mid-August. …”
Listening to Gu Wenjing’s explanation, not only the emperor became more surprised as he listened, but even other civil and military officials also realized that potatoes are simply a weapon of the country.
The emperor asked, “Gu Aiqing, how many potatoes are there and when can they be promoted?”
Gu Wenjing replied: “There are nearly 10,000 catties of potatoes on Wechenzhuangzi, but even if all these potatoes germinate for seeding, they cannot be fully promoted for the time being. We can only choose pilot planting first to increase the number of potatoes.
Gu Wenjing has also been doing his best to expand potato planting this year, but limited to too few potato seeds, the harvest is not much, only 10,000 catties of potatoes, even if all potato seeds are grown, it will take a few years before they can be promoted nationwide.
The emperor also understood that this cannot be forced, so he immediately decreed: “Promote potato planting, and you will be responsible for Gu Aiqing!” Then he ended the early dynasty ahead of schedule and urged Gu Wenjing to go to Zhuangzi to see the potatoes, and see if they grow in the ground In the potato.
Many important court officials also followed, so Ning Yuanhou and Gu Wenjing led a large group of people to the nearest Zhuangzi in the Hou Mansion.
After the emperor took his courtiers to dig out several litters of potatoes at random and saw the output of the potatoes, he was immediately excited to eat the potatoes he dug out on the Zhuangzi.
However, this Zhuangzi did not have a decent chef. Gu Wenjing thought for a while and rolled up his sleeves by himself: “Weichen has studied the way of eating potatoes, so Weichen can’t cook other dishes, but he still has nothing to do with potato shreds. questionable.”
The pedantic courtiers thought that Gu Wenjing was insulting and gentle, but the emperor praised: “Gu Aiqing really cares about the people and works seriously!”
From Gu Wenjing’s unusual data flow memorandum, we can see that he is a serious person.
As an emperor, he would like such a capable, serious and loyal courtier.
After returning from Zhuangzi, the emperor quickly commended Gu Wenjing and replaced the earl title Gu Wenjing was about to inherit to Guo Duke. Not only would he not be downgraded to Ning Yuan Bo, but instead he was promoted to Ning Guo Gong for three generations. Begin to fall.
That is to say, Gu Wenjing offered potatoes in exchange for the seat of the country’s grandson for himself and his son and grandson. In the future, his great-grandson can also inherit a marquis. As long as Gu’s family can’t make mistakes, they will have at least several generations of wealth.
Watching the people from the Ministry of Rites take down the plaque of the Hou Mansion and replace it with the imperial gift plaque of the Ningguo Mansion, Gu Wenjing picked up his much older, fat son Gu Zhenghong when he returned: “Hong’er, fathers don’t have to worry about your future anymore. “In any case, the father earned the title of Duke of the country for his son and grandson, and he feels worthy of his son and grandson.
Gu Zhenghong is already ten years old, and he vaguely understands what it means to become a government official, but he does not understand it so clearly.
He smiled and asked Gu Wenjing: “Father, can I stop studying?”
Gu Wenjing smiled softly: “Hong’er, what do you think?”
A stiff smile on Gu Zhenghong’s face, he jumped off Gu Wenjing and ran away: “Father, I was just kidding, I love to study, whoever doesn’t let me study, I will be anxious! Dad, I will go back to study now!”
<<<<<<<<<<<<
It’s another year of spring flowers blooming.
Gu Wenjing took a break and walked with Cheng Yuhua, who was pregnant, in the large garden of his home, which had been expanded into the Guogong Mansion.
As he walked, Cheng Yuhua couldn’t help complaining to him: “I’m so old, but I got pregnant with my daughter-in-law. It’s really shameful!”
It has been more than six years since Gu Wenjing was promoted to Ning Guogong. In these six years, Gu Wenjing also entered the cabinet and became the youngest first assistant in the dynasty. Because he knows how to measure and how to gain the trust of the superiors, the emperor has always believed in him.
Gu Wenjing’s position is high, and it can be said that he has reached the pinnacle of his life. The only thing outsiders can say is that his wife Cheng Yuhua only gave him one child.
Although his only son, Gu Zhenghong, is clever and smart, his heirs are really thin compared to his concubine Gu Shaoping’s five sons and four daughters.
It’s just that Gu Wenjing is in charge of the Gu family now. Ning Yuanhou and Yuan have already moved out of the main hospital for retirement, and they can’t take care of Gu Wenjing’s affairs. Cheng Yuhua is now also the wife of the Super-Class Country Lord. Her husband is of high authority. No one is not long-eyed and talks nonsense in front of her, so she didn’t bother with the issue of not having children.
Although Gu Zhenghong is not as good as the former Gu Wenjing, Gu Zhenghong, who is only seventeen years old, is now admitted to Juren and will be able to inherit the title of Duke of the country in the future. Isn’t it much better than the ten or eight sons of other families?
Gu Wenjing and Cheng Yuhua were able to see the couple, but they did not expect that after Gu Zhenghong’s wife Zhang became pregnant, Cheng Yuhua was also diagnosed as pregnant.
Cheng Yuhua hadn’t been pregnant for so many years. She thought that she could no longer have children. Now that she was pregnant again, Cheng Yuhua was so happy.
It is to be pregnant with the daughter-in-law at the same time, even the month is only two months away. In the future, the child in her belly will be two months younger than his/her nephew and niece, which is very embarrassing.
In private, Cheng Yuhua couldn’t help but chant a few words to Gu Wenjing.
Gu Wenjing said dismissively: “You are still very young, standing with Hong’er’s wife, who doesn’t think you are a sister-in-law?” Cheng Yuhua is only 34 years old now, and many women of this age in modern times are still enjoying single aristocracy. Life, or just married and had children. So Gu Wenjing didn’t feel that Cheng Yuhua was old at all.
Cheng Yuhua couldn’t help blushing, feeling happy. This is the case for women, saying that they are a lot of age, but in fact they still want to hear men praise themselves for being young.
Cheng Yuhua didn’t want to leave when he walked to the pavilion, and the two sat in the pavilion to rest.
Cheng Yuhua talked to Gu Wenjing about his son Gu Zhenghong: “Hong’er just passed the Juren exam this year. After three years, he will have the exam. Do you think Hong’er can get it in one pass?”
Gu Zhenghong was seventeen this year, and his age in the exam was a bit older than Gu Wenjing back then. Therefore, Cheng Yuhua worried that her son would waste a few years on the imperial examinations like her second brother Cheng Heng, and he would only be admitted to the Imperial Academy when he was older. Xiaoguan, afterwards, Gu Wenjing helped Cheng Heng to get the first rank.
Gu Wenjing said: “Don’t worry, even if he fails to pass the imperial examination, I can find a way to promote him.” Although the imperial examination is the right way, it doesn’t mean that you can’t be an official without taking the imperial examination.
What’s more, Gu Zhenghong has passed Juren’s examination. Juren can be an official. With his father helping pave the way, how could Gu Zhenghong’s career go wrong?
Gu Wenjing rarely acts favoritism in political affairs, but it does not mean that he will have no selfishness. He is not a saint and has power in his hands. He naturally wants to help his son within the scope of permission. This is human nature.
The two were chatting, and suddenly a maid came to report: “Master! Madam! Madam young is going to give birth!”
Cheng Yuhua was surprised: “Isn’t there a few days before the due date?”
Gu Wenjing supported her: “Don’t panic, Hong’er daughter-in-law only gave birth a few days earlier, which is normal.” The imperial doctor said that the expected delivery date is not absolutely accurate.
The maid who gave the report hurriedly said: “The young lady is a normal childbirth, and there is nothing wrong with it. Shi Ziye sent a slave and maid to tell the master and madam.”
Since Zhang’s production is normal, Cheng Yuhua is not in a hurry, and walks slowly along with Gu Wenjing.
When they walked outside the delivery room, they already saw Gu Zhenghong hugging a baby with a smirk.
Gu Wenjing said: “Hong’er, hurry up and bring the child to see for the father and your mother!”
Only then did Gu Zhenghong recover from the ecstasy of being a new father. He saw his parents coming and hurriedly hugged the child and came over: “Father, mother, look, this is your grandson! It’s a bit ugly…”
Gu Wenjing nodded with a serious expression: “It looks really like you. For the father, remember that when you were born, your grandmother took you out of the delivery room. It was so ugly.”
Gu Zhenghong was struck by lightning: “Impossible! How could I be so ugly when I was a kid?”
Cheng Yuhua said in a dubious voice: “It’s all like this when the child is born. It will be fine after a few days. My grandson is very handsome.”
Two months after Gu Wenjing’s eldest grandson was born, Cheng Yuhua also gave birth to a son.
Gu Wenjing was relieved that Cheng Yuhua had given birth to a son. In his heart, he really didn’t want Cheng Yuhua to have a daughter. It is too difficult for a woman in this world.
Even his son, Gu Zhenghong, who was brought up personally, did not allow Gu Zhenghong to accept concubines. He felt that too many concubines were the source of chaos in the family. However, Gu Zhenghong still had a maidservant who took the initiative to take care of the house, as long as Gu Zhenghong did not take the house. Zhang is very satisfied when the maid becomes a maid.
Because this is the way in this world, as a woman, she should arrange for her husband to take care of her in the day when she is inconvenient. Gu Wenjing is unwilling to let his daughter live in such an unspeakable life in the future. Even if he is of high authority, he can’t forcefully intervene in his daughter-in-law’s room.
Gu Wenjing is full of pampering for this young son who is younger than his grandson. Compared with the eldest son Gu Zhenghong, who once had high hopes, the younger son can be more pampered.
The same is true for Cheng Yuhua, even Gu Zhenghong, the eldest brother, treats his younger brother as a son.
Gu Wenjing watched the whole family dominate the youngest son to the sky, but reluctantly chose to be a strict father, lest the youngest son would really become a prodigal dude in the future.
Time passed slowly, and it seemed to pass quickly.
In the blink of an eye, both the grandson and the youngest had grown up, and began to have a family and a business, and the corners of his wife Cheng Yuhua’s eyes also appeared fine lines.
Gu Wenjing was in a daze. After decades, he almost forgot that he was traveling, as if he was born and raised in this world, and took root here by marrying a wife and having children.
He almost forgot the big eyeball system, almost thinking it was a dream he had.
Ning Yuanhou and Yuan family were getting older and passed away one after another.
The period of filial piety coincided with the fierce competition between the princes for the throne. Regardless of the emperor’s love, Gu Wenjing insisted on resigning and staying behind closed doors.
After three years of keeping filial piety, the Gu family just avoided the period when the prince seized the most fierce prince. Three years later, Gu Zhenghong returned, but Gu Wenjing resigned on the grounds of physical discomfort. Raising flowers and birds to live a retirement life.
Gradually, Cheng Yuhua was also getting old, and a wind chill took her life.
After Cheng Yuhua’s death, Gu Wenjing felt uncomfortable, as if he could not breathe, even if he had no love for Cheng Yuhua, but after so many years of being together when he was old, the husband and wife were the closest people. Parents will leave him, children will start their own families and leave him, and only his wife will accompany him. And now his wife also left earlier than him.
Gu Wenjing was immersed in sorrow, with a bad mood and lack of energy, so he gave the title to his son Gu Zhenghong and told Gu Zhenghong to take good care of his younger brother, so he moved to live in the hot spring village.
There are too many traces of Cheng Yuhua’s life in the Gu family. He can’t stand it when he lives in the mansion and sees things and thinks about people.
Gu Wenjing didn’t expect that he would live a long life. He was so strong that his eldest son Gu Zhenghong was too old to walk. He could still get up and punch every day. Now his great-great-grandchildren are all grown up.
Gu Zhenghong fell ill during the season change. Gu Wenjing came back from Zhuangzi to visit him and looked at the bad old man lying on the bed. He sighed, “Son, why did you ruin yourself like this? I don’t know now. The lover saw it and thought you were my father.”
Gu Zhenghong was short of breath due to chest tightness due to illness. Hearing his father’s words, and looking at his father’s vigorous appearance, he almost couldn’t breathe and was kicked by his father.
The great-great-grandchildren of Gu Wenjing’s grandsons on the side saw this scene, and couldn’t help being speechless, thinking that the ancestors really made sense.
Gu Wenjing softened his voice again, comforted Gu Zhenghong by a few words, and persuaded him to drink medicine obediently: “When you get better, go fishing with your father.”
However, Gu Zhenghong never got better, and left silently one night.
Even though it was not the first time to experience life and death, the death of the eldest son still caused Gu Wenjing to be hit hard.
Gu Wenjing, who has lived for more than a hundred years as a mascot, sent away his parents and his wife, and then away his son. He can’t bear to send away people around him again and again.
When the spirit and energy are gone, a person’s body will also become worse. Gu Wenjing died without a problem in one day’s sleep.
The funeral after Gu Wenjing’s death was extremely grand, and hundreds of civil and military officials came to attend his funeral, and even the current emperor brought the empress and princes to pay homage in person. When the descendants of the Gu family returned to their hometown with the help of spirits, hundreds of surnames were mourning for him.
However, no matter how beautiful after death, Gu Wenjing doesn’t care.
He opened his eyes and found himself back in the space where the big eyeball system was.
The memories of living in ancient times for so many years have all been erased. Gu Wenjing recalled his life with Cheng Yuhua, and recalled his two sons and grandchildren, great-grandchildren, as if watching a movie starring others, even if the protagonist looks like him It’s exactly the same, he has no sense of substitution in the kind of movie.
However, Gu Wenjing still has a sense of sorrow in his heart: “The system, your emotion elimination function is really powerful.” Although he was a little dissatisfied with the system’s deprivation of his emotions, and said that his voice was ironic, his reason told him that if not Sooner or later he will be driven mad.
The big eyeball subsystem said: “Thank you for the host’s praise!” It didn’t even hear the irony implicit in Gu Wenjing’s words. It really thought Gu Wenjing was praised for its powerful functions.
However, Gu Wenjing didn’t want to care about a system that was not very intelligent. He rubbed his temples, eased his emotions, looked at the empty system space, and didn’t want to stay any longer.
So he said to the big eyeball: “Send me to the next world!”
Of course, the big eyeball system would not refuse his request.
Then Gu Wenjing only felt like a god, so he changed places.
He was sitting at a dining table with the finished dishes and chopsticks in front of him.
Someone around him got up and left when Gu Wenjing had just crossed over. He didn’t see who it was. Now there is only one woman sitting next to him, under Gu Wenjing.
