After the New Year, the greetings handed over by the palace were piled up like a hill, and the rare treasures were sent to the palace like flowing water. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"This is the blood coral sent by Lord Song of the Ministry of Works. ā
"This is the white jade Guanyin sent by Su Guogong. ā
......
Yan Zhaozheng and Song Cheng were playing on the side, eating the almond Buddha's hand that Gu Changlan brought out from the palace, and suddenly heard so many rare treasures, he couldn't help but push Song Cheng, and the two turned around together.
"Wow, this Guanyin!" Yan Zhao praised in a hoarse voice, the white jade Guanyin is as big as a three-year-old child, the most important thing is that the whole body is flawless, smooth and shining, the treasure is solemn, and the carving is the top grade.
Song Cheng didn't dare to exclaim "wow" in front of Gu Changlan, and only lingered to touch the blood coral.
Gu Changlan waved his hand at Yunman, stopping the endless recitation list, he supported his head, leaned lazily on the Taishi chair, but his eyes looked carefully at Yan Zhao who was sitting in a wheelchair.
She was dressed in a cyan guard costume, with wooden planks tightly clamped around her legs, and a few light red scars appeared on her much whiter face, and a thin face, like a young man who did not know anything about the world.
"What is this?" she suddenly raised her head and looked at Gu Changlan defenselessly, her expression focused and serious.
Gu Changlan didn't dodge or dodge, his phoenix eyes were dark, he looked at Yan Zhao like an abyss, and replied, "This is a thousand-year-old ginseng." ā
Xu is expression was too serious, Yan Zhao's face gradually turned red, she lowered her head in embarrassment, suppressed the throbbing in her heart, and changed the topic with a cry: "Why do they all have to give such a heavy gift?"
Song Cheng, who couldn't help touching the blood coral, couldn't help but glance at her when he heard this, thinking that this was not nonsense!
The red man in front of the emperor is in power, and no one is in a hurry.
Gu Changlan watched Yan Zhao's ears fly a touch of crimson, Fang retracted his gaze, and said casually: "When I first returned to Beijing, someone sent me a copy of the "List of Qing Officials", and asked me to use it as a mirror to hold my body upright. ā
Yan Zhao forgot about the embarrassment for a moment, and opened his mouth with Song Cheng in unison, with a look of surprise.
It's like a son-in-law who hasn't passed the door rushing to give his mother-in-law a copy of "Female Ring", and the mother-in-law doesn't return a copy of "The Book of Filial Piety", which is really broad-minded.
"Such an eyeless person can only make a county order. Song Cheng said speechlessly.
"It was a little stronger than the county order, and later this man was convicted for other things, and for some reason it became that I hated him for the Boxing Rites, and since then the Boxing gifts given to me by these people have become heavier and heavier. Gu Changlan said.
"Who is this idiot?" Song Cheng couldn't help but ask.
"Song Guogong. ā
......
If the prince of the country is only a little stronger than the county order in the eyes of Gu Wangye, then the emperor can still get three points of his courtesy, if others say this, Yan Zhao must feel arrogant, but being said so casually by Gu Changlan makes her feel that Gu Changlan really thinks so, and he deserves to be so arrogant.
"Then there is no ginseng for you?" Yan Zhaoqi said.
Song Cheng nodded fiercely on the side, since the family is so afraid of Gu Changlan, this corruption and bribery is the best handle, why don't you take it and work together to sue for a complaint, even if you can't fight Gu Changlan, he can't liquidate all the families together afterwards.
These families are flourishing, and if they are uprooted, there should be a new upheaval.
"Remember, both of you, that those who gather by interests can be dispersed by interests, and that as long as one family still benefits, then these families will never be able to unite. Gu Changlan straightened up and carefully taught the two children in his eyes.
As for the most beneficial, it is naturally Su Guifei's mother's Su Guo Mansion.
Yan Zhao and Song Cheng are both smart and intelligent people, and they can understand with a little touch, and they nodded their heads one after another.
"Master, this is the etiquette of the Lantern Festival. Jin Zhong came in from outside, and there was a stack of gilded posts in his hand.
These people are so strange, they hate Gu Changlan for being cold and domineering, but they are thinking about how to make Gu Wangye favorable, so these families with suitable age ladies came up with an idea, and invited Gu Wangye to go to enjoy the lanterns, flowers, poems, and beauties in the next post.
"I remember that there is a girl in the Liangzhou Thorn Shi Zhan family, who is very famous in Liangzhou, and now she should be sixteen. Gu Changlan asked.
Yan Zhao suddenly pricked up her ears, her mouth was sour and astringent like eating a green apricot, she curled her mouth a little unhappily and listened carefully.
"Yes, now that Lord Zhan is walking around in Beijing, it is rumored that Miss Zhan is colorful and equal to the Lord of Ping'an. Jin Zhong heard the sound of the strings and knew the elegant meaning, and found the one Gu Changlan wanted from a bunch of posts.
That's a very beautiful look!
Yan Zhao pinched the backgammon pieces made of yellow flowers and wood, and almost pinched out the water, Song Cheng looked at her bulging fists and glanced at her with some meaning.
Gu Changlan opened the post, and the gold sprinkled post was full and delicate, and elegantly wrote: "The moon is full of overflowing atrium, and the night light is like green day." The snow is a little slack, and the wine is fragrant. Liangzhou Thorn Shi Zhan Wubai. ā
"Yunman, when I returned to Beijing last year to report on my work, there was an adult who made a good poem at the palace banquet, and he was rewarded by the emperor, but this one?"
"Yes. Yun Man thought about it a little, and he definitely had to answer.
"Go to the reply, the Lantern Festival is coming as scheduled. Gu Changlan hooked his mouth and laughed, folded the post and handed it to Jinzhong.
"Yes. ā
Jin Zhong received the post of ordering him to return to the Zhan family, and as soon as this reply came out, the powerful people in the entire capital were shaken, causing an uproar.
After the New Year, it has been three years since Gu Wangye returned to Beijing, and in the past three years, he has been invited out of the post only a handful of times, and even the palace banquet often says that he is sick and does not go.
The first time he went to Xu Yuanqing's banquet, it was Xu Yuanqing who was just a small supervisor of Dali Temple, his post was drowned in a bunch of powerful people, and a few kind words were written on the post, which made people embarrassed to read it, and also made Xu Yuanqing's intestines regretful.
Regardless of whether Xu Yuanqing has this literary talent, in short, Gu Changlan went to his banquet, and within half a month, he ascended to the sky in one step and became the Shaoqing of Dali Temple.
The second banquet that Gu Wangye went to was the Song Guogong Mansion that has now become a white bone, and within half a month, Song Guogong was derelict in his duties for disaster relief, and his whole family was confiscated because of his dereliction of duty in disaster relief.
As a result, the banquet atmosphere in the capital was greatly reduced for a while, and it was not until the emperor took the initiative to hold two banquets that he eased up.
Now that it is the third time that Gu Wangye has gone to the banquet, everyone's eyes are looking at the Liangzhou Thorn Shi Zhan family, thinking about whether this time is happy or worried.
When Jin Zhong personally sent the post to the Zhan Mansion, intentionally or unintentionally mentioning that the Zhan family had a daughter who was like a flower, the words flew to the ears of every noble lady like a bird, and this time, everyone's eyes were on the Su Guo Mansion.
Or rather, the lord of Ping'an on the Su State Mansion.
"I asked you to inquire about why Prince Gu replied to the Zhan Mansion, and you told me that they had a daughter in their family?"
"The slave maid inquired, yes, it was the big maid next to the prince, who said it when she sent the reply. The maid's face was earthy, and she trembled with fear.
"It turned out to be sent by Jin Zhong!" the county lord of Ping'an shouted sharply, his weak and delicate voice became sharp and sharp due to the sudden elevation, which made everyone present frightened.
There were four or five girls standing in the room, but none of them dared to speak.
