Chapter Seventy-One: The Dust Has Settled

The twenty-first winter of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The first assistant Xia Yan resigned from his post and lived idle, and Yan Songjia Shaobao, the prince Taibao, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites and the scholar of Wuyingdian University entered the cabinet, and was still in charge of the Ministry of Rites.

The struggle between Yan Song and Xia Yan ended with Yan Song's temporary victory but was inconclusive.

According to the news that Huang Jin came back, although the Gu family was exempted from exile, Gu Chongyan's official career may come to an end.

And Wang Kai is naturally fine, Gu Juan can't help but feel a little relieved, but at this time, Huang Jin does not allow Gu Juan to write a letter to his family, after such a long time, I am afraid that he will be worried about death for a long time, but Gu Juan is helpless, at this time, he is under the fence and under house arrest.

Gu Juan is also difficult to fly.

Gu Juan has been here for half a month, and it looks like the New Year is coming, but this Huang Jin still doesn't plan to let her out, is he really going to keep himself for the New Year?

Coincidentally, on this day, Huang Jin happened to be out of the palace on an errand, and only then did he remember that he seemed to have a goddaughter who had just been recognized in his family.

Huang Jin was dressed in civilian clothes and had a small beard attached to it, looking like an ordinary old man.

Gu Juan was holding the stove in a daze, when he saw the curtain in his room being lifted.

"Goddaughter, these days, are you okay here?"

Gu Juan was stunned for a moment, quickly stood up, looked at Huang Jin and said, "Father-in-law, when will you let me out?"

Huang Jin's face turned pale, and he said coldly: "From that day on, I will be your godfather, do you understand? In front of Your Majesty, you have already called me godfather." ”

Huang Jin sat down and looked at Gu Xuan, his cloudy eyes full of threat.

"Four years ago, you were sold to Jingshi by human traffickers, I saved you, you recognized me as a godfather, do you remember clearly?"

"I remember it clearly. ”

Huang Jin sighed and said softly: "I don't want to be so troublesome, but you are too unlucky, girl, to catch up with Your Majesty's rare whim." ”

Gu Juan.........

"Godfather, can I go out?"

"What are you going out for?"

"What are you doing?"

"You little girl is definitely a person who can do things, I don't dare to let you out, wait until the spring of next year, I will send someone to send you back to your hometown, and you will definitely not be able to come to Beijing again." ”

Gu Wan's brows furrowed, it seems that this old eunuch is still wary of himself, how is this good, this is a good time to meet Xia Yan, if you miss it, I am afraid that you will lose the opportunity, at this time Xia Yan has just been idle, and he must be indignant in his heart, it just happens to be the best time.

But Gu Juan couldn't go out at this time.

"Godfather, let me tell you, I have a fiancΓ©, and he is a lifter. ”

Huang Jin raised his eyebrows, as if he was a little afraid that this little girl would stir up trouble again.

"When Tianfu Mansion tried to solve the old man Wang Kai, the girl picked up a big bargain. ”

"It's my fiancΓ©'s teacher, it's Lord Xia Yanxia, do you know?"

Huang Jin suddenly felt bad in his heart, and hurriedly said, "What do you want to do?"

"I didn't want to do anything, but Wang Kai once handed me a letter, saying that it was for Lord Xia, but godfather, didn't you let me go out?

Huang Jin frowned, and said: "Little girl, don't play any tricks, you still don't want to get involved in the affairs of the court, if you really get into trouble, even I can't save you." ”

Gu Juan naturally wouldn't be frightened by Huang Jin's words, if he could really be frightened, he wouldn't have traveled thousands of miles to Jingshi alone.

"It's just a letter, but before I could send it, Lord Xia was idle, but I was entrusted by someone to send the letter over after all. ”

Gu Juan hurriedly took out the so-called letter from his arms.

This letter was naturally written by Gu Juan early, but he never had a chance to send it out.

Huang Jin glanced at it a few times and found that it was a simple letter, but the back of the letter also had some views on current affairs, but he was a very talented young man, Huang Jin nodded and said, "Give me the letter, and I will send someone to deliver the letter." ”

Gu Juan stuffed the letter into the envelope, carefully sealed the envelope, and handed it to Huang Jin carefully, and then had a flattering smile on his face.

"Then it's a hassle godfather. ”

Huang Jinhu took the letter suspiciously, but after looking at it, he didn't find anything unusual.

"These days, you have to live in peace at home, but don't think about going out, as soon as spring begins, I will send you home. ”

"Uh-huh, I see. ”

Gu Juan tried her best to pretend to be well-behaved.

After Huang Jin left, Gu Juan breathed a sigh of relief, hoping that this old man would not find any problems.

Huang Jin naturally didn't find any problems, he thought that this troublesome little girl was just a little girl after all, so she wouldn't do anything hurtful.

Xia Yan's Mansion.

Xia Yan took the letter, if it was handwriting, this letter was definitely not from Lan Jun's handwriting, and the content of the letter was also very worthless, and it didn't look like Lan Jun's writing.

Xia Yan stuffed the letter into the envelope and glanced at it casually, only to find that the envelope was densely written.

These words are extremely small, and they are definitely not written with a brush, Xia Yan was stunned, hurriedly opened the envelope, and put it under the lamp to read carefully.

His eyes, which had been dim, suddenly brightened a little.

In the blink of an eye, it has arrived at the New Year's Festival, although Huang Jin's house is also full of lights, but it does not make people feel a little lively, this old man must accompany Jiajing for the New Year.

Gu Juan was not lonely, and when Gu Juan was about to lie on the bed to sleep, he heard the sound of fireworks outside.

She suddenly wanted to see the fireworks, even if she was alone at the moment.

Gu Juan put on his clothes and walked out of the house, a sharp north wind came out, Gu Juan walked through the long verandah, and came to the highest attic of the Yellow Mansion.

At this time, the sky was full of fire trees and silver flowers, and the dark sky was a little lively.

At this moment, Gu Juan couldn't help but stretch out his hand, and the goose feathers and snow fell.

This can be regarded as the last snow in Jiajing's twenty-first year, Gu Juan never thought that he would spend this special day alone.

Thousands of miles away, on the post road.

Wang Kai sat in the carriage, and there was a scholar sitting in the carriage, and the scholar said a little depressedly: "Childe, how can you go out for the New Year?"

At this time, the post road is inaccessible, and the snow that fell a few days ago has not yet melted, so it is really not appropriate to rush at this time.

It's just that at this time, Wang Kai's expression was solemn, he opened the curtain, saw the heavy snow falling outside, and sighed slightly.

"At this time, she has no news at all, how can you tell me not to be in a hurry. ”

"Some time ago, didn't Childe's teacher reply to the letter, and it was mentioned in the letter that someone sent a letter in the name of Childe, which means that the Gu family lady must have nothing to do. ”

Wang Kai stretched out his hand to catch the falling snowflakes.

"Hope she's okay. ”
