It has long been an unwritten rule for men in the Great Zhou Dynasty to grow beards after the age of thirty.

Especially a civil official like Gu Ge Lao, who is old and has status and status, is simply embarrassed to show his face in front of people if he does not have a well-trimmed and beautiful flowing long beard.

At this time, Gu Ge Lao's right jaw only had a few sparse beards left.

You don't have to think about it to know that you must have been hung up by a branch in the forest when you ran away before.

Probably because the situation was too urgent and the pull was too hard, the skin on his right jaw was still a little red and swollen at this time, and there were some dried blood stains in a few places.

Of course, the loss of the half-drawn beard looked a little ridiculous, and the redness, swelling and blood stains looked very sympathetic, but these were definitely not the reasons why Gu Ge Lao used his sleeves to cover his face.

The injury can be healed, the beard can be regrown when it is gone, and the dignified cabinet chief assistant of the current dynasty is not so hypocritical.

What Gu Ge didn't want his granddaughter to see was actually the small pear vortex on the corner of his right mouth.

To be exact, it looks exactly the same as the corner of Gu Chao and Doudou's mouth on the right, and looks particularly delicate and sweet.

This shape of a small pear vortex can be said to be the finishing touch at the corner of the mouth of beautiful girls, adding a bit of agility to their already stunning faces.

Even if it grows in the corner of the young man's mouth, he feels handsome, cute, lively and pleasing.

Gu Ge Lao felt this deeply, and when he was young, he was praised for his good looks because of this little pear vortex.

Even in his youth, many girls became more and more infatuated with him.

But later, his official became bigger and bigger, and it was not a good thing to have a cute little pear vortex at the corner of his mouth.

Those in high positions need not to be angry and self-assured, and they are just about to put on an official shelf here, and Xiao Pear Vortex ran out at an inopportune time to make trouble, how can he stand up in front of his subordinates?

It's the same when you face the saint, when you meet the anger of His Majesty the Emperor, all the important ministers are listening to the hadith, you hang a small pear vortex at the corner of your mouth, you look like you are smiling, do you want to find death!

For this reason, Gu Ge Lao had a headache for a while.

Fortunately, he soon reached the age when he should grow a beard, and as soon as he was covered by the long black and shiny beard, the little pear vortex disappeared without a trace.

For more than 20 years, Gu Ge Lao's career has been extremely smooth, and he has always shown a steady and majestic image outside, and gradually this little pear vortex has been forgotten by the world, including his wife and concubines, and no one can remember this matter if he doesn't deliberately mention it.

I never thought that this secret, which was not a secret, would be exposed in front of my granddaughter in such a situation.

Especially he had an unpleasant intersection with this granddaughter, and the child's temperament was different from Yuan Xiang's.

It's not that she's not filial and she's not a good child, but she's not a well-behaved little girl in her bones.

Seeing that I also grew a cute and pleasing little pear vortex, it's strange not to steal joy in my heart!

Gu Ge Lao was sure that Fang Cai must have fallen for this little girl, she just wanted to see what was going on on her face before she deliberately exhaled pain.

Too cunning and treacherous, and one of her fathers, Yuanzong, is a vice virtue!

In fact, if it weren't for the inappropriate time and place, and there were so many outsiders around him, Doudou would have really laughed.

And at this moment, she could only sigh in her heart the miracle of bloodline inheritance, it turned out that the little pear vortex at the corner of her and her mother's mouths was actually inherited from Gu Ge Lao, who was not smiling.

This is definitely a kiss, such as a fake exchange!

The maids and guards behind her and the soldiers of the Forbidden Army naturally discovered this, but they were all well-trained people and had a clear understanding of their own identity, and they would never make an inappropriate voice at such a time.

Gu Ge Lao saw that the little pear vortex had been exposed, so he simply didn't hide it, and said to Doudou: "What about asking you." ”

Doudou quickly restrained his emotions and said, "I received news that you and Dong Ge Lao broke through with Your Majesty, so ......"

Gu Ge Lao's eyes narrowed, and he interrupted her: "Are you saying that someone deliberately passed the news to you?"

Doudou nodded and said, "And this person must be His Majesty the Emperor." ”

The granddaughter's cleverness and decisiveness made Gu Ge Lao slightly surprised: "You guessed that His Majesty Dao has already left Yunni Mountain Villa?"

Doudou said: "I have long known about Your Majesty's pretending to be dizzy, if he really wants to break through, he will definitely only select those who are young and strong in martial arts, like you and Dong Ge Lao, aren't they dragging their feet." ”

This was not a good word, but it was an indisputable fact, and Gu Ge Lao didn't bother with Doudou, and said, "In this case, what are you doing here?"

Doudou said helplessly: "Isn't there anything I can't do, first, I don't worry about your old man, and second, my majesty meant to run this trip, how dare I disobey." ”

Gu Ge Lao and the others broke through this time, and they didn't even bring Yi Rongdu's "fake emperor", and no one who participated in the rebellion this time could hide at all, so he didn't plan to retreat from others when he talked to Doudou.

He sighed: "This is also an inevitable thing, after all, you are the niece of the queen's mother, and Your Majesty does not dare to bet." ”

Doudou raised his eyebrows, it seems that his grandfather not only knows who the master behind the rebels is, but even the matter of His Majesty the Emperor's head dyed green.

The corners of her mouth hooked slightly: "Second brother has already told you everything?"

Gu Ge Lao sighed: "You children, how can you not know your ......grandfather for such a big thing?"

Doudou said softly, "You already have too many secrets on your back, we just don't want to add more pressure to you." ”

Of course, this is only one aspect, and more importantly, this kind of thing is too secret, of course, the fewer people who know about it, the better.

It's not that they don't believe Elder Gu Ge, it's really not sure what his old man will do when he learns about such a thing, and it's best to hide it from him before the time is ripe.

Gu Ge Lao was such a shrewd person, he immediately understood one thing from Doudou's words.

This little girl already knew what he had sworn in front of the first emperor.

Who told her?

There will never be many people who know about this matter, it is nothing more than His Majesty the Emperor and Yuan Zongzhi.

It is not surprising that Yuan Zongzhi knows, after all, Emperor Yongtai has always regarded him as a confidant and an old confidant of Dong Ge.

But will he tell Yuan Yuan about this kind of thing?

Gu Ge Lao shook his head, in his opinion, no matter how smart Yuan Yuan was, she was just a girl, and even if Yuan Zongzhi spoiled her, there should be a limit.

Then it is Emperor Yongtai.

He squinted his eyes and looked at Doudou again, but he didn't expect that at this young age, His Majesty the Emperor would even be willing to talk to her about such a thing.

Of course, he would never tell anyone about those things between the first emperor and the queen of the Yuan Dynasty a second time, even his own granddaughter.

He reached out and patted Doudou's shoulder, and sighed, "It's hard for you too...... What is the situation outside now, it sounds like the fighting is much quieter than before. ”

Speaking of the situation outside, Doudou inevitably remembered those corpses, blood, and severed arms and stumps.

Just for the ambition of some people, one by one young and fresh lives have disappeared like this, it is really ......

She sniffed and briefly described the situation outside to Elder Gu Ge.
