Chapter 101: Holding Hands (Including Additions)

Yaowu Villa was renovated in the early days of the first emperor's accession to the throne, located in the northwest of the suburbs of Beijing, and was once the courtyard of the former King Ning.

The former king of Ning failed to fight for the emperor, was placed under house arrest in this courtyard to spend the last years, the courtyard here is slightly unlucky, and because of disrepair, the first emperor originally planned to give up the courtyard here, who knew that the queen at that time liked a few pines and cypresses on the cliff wall of the courtyard.

Therefore, the first emperor renamed this place Yaowu Villa, renovated it and gave it to the queen as an annex.

Yaowu - just to show the exploits of Empress Taizu Gao.

In the early years, when the first emperor was fighting the world, Empress Taizu Gao also fought on the battlefield at a difficult juncture, and it is said that she also saved Emperor Taizu Gao in danger.

Later, because of the death of Empress Taizu Gao, Emperor Qianyuan closed Yaowu Villa after ascending the throne, and in the eyes of Emperor Qianyuan, no one can compare with his biological mother.

Today, Emperor Qianyuan reopened Yaowu Villa, and he also had the intention to let the ladies of the Jiangmen learn more from Empress Taizu Gao.

After two generations of emperors, today's ladies are becoming more and more elegant, far less 'lively' and 'heroic' when Empress Taizu Gao was alive, and the ladies of the Jiangmen are still like this, not to mention the daughters of the Wenchen family.

Yaowu Villa is some distance away from the capital, located in the middle of nowhere, Wang Zhiyao got into the carriage with the Jiang family early in the morning, and the eldest aunt thought for a long time and asked the three brothers and sisters to go with them.

The third aunt has an active temperament, and she chattered with Wang Zhiyao along the way, and Wang Zhiyao learned all kinds of legends of Yaowu Villa from the conversation, and also knew that the woman that the third aunt admired the most was Empress Taizu Gao.

When it came to Empress Taizu Gao, the third aunt's eyes flashed.

"Yao'er, Empress Taizu Gao is called a heroine among women. You don't know she's been to my mother's town. It's a pity when she went. I wasn't born yet, so I couldn't see her husband in battle. ”

"Empress Taizu Gao knows that there are still three aunts in the world who remember her, so she must be very happy."

Wang Zhiyao said with a smile, "The emperor also has the thoughts of Empress Taizu Gao when he held a banquet in Yaowu Villa. ”

I heard Gu Tianze say that Empress Taizu Gao is a piece of Emperor Qianyuan's reverse scales, and there is no place to bury those who touch it.

"Do you still have to cross the canyon?"

Wang Zhiyao saw that the speed of the car slowed down, and she poked her head out of the carriage, and Yaowu Villa was already faintly visible. It's just that in front of the waiting carriage, there is a suspension bridge flickering back and forth in the air, and the carriages on this side of the suspension bridge are gathered, and the well-dressed ladies are frightened by the suspension bridge and their faces are slightly pale.

The servant who inquired about the news replied: "The emperor has an order, and the ladies who go to Yaowu Villa must walk across the suspension bridge in person, otherwise, ...... Return to the capital immediately. ”

Jiang and the third aunt looked at Wang Zhiyao worriedly at the same time, and the third aunt asked, "Yao'er, how are you?" ”

"I'm not afraid."

Wang Zhiyao smiled as happily as usual, what's so scary about crossing the suspension bridge? Since Emperor Qianyuan dared to give such an edict, it proved that the safety of the suspension bridge was very guaranteed.

After all, most of the ladies who went to the banquet were after the military generals' exploits. Emperor Qianyuan would not want his ministers to lose their sons and daughters.

It's just that Emperor Qianyuan tried the courage of the proud daughters of the gate.

The third aunt said reassuringly: "Okay." It's good not to be afraid. ”

Wang Zhiyao shook Jiang's arm, "Mother, I'm fine." ”

Jiang Shi whispered: "If you are afraid, hum a little tune quietly, this suspension bridge is only about thirty meters, and you can walk sixty steps at full duty, and it will shake badly in the middle, and you will pass by holding the rope." ”

"Mother walked across the suspension bridge?"

"When your mother is in the northwest, she often walks a gorge, compared with this repaired suspension bridge, where is the real air corridor."

"Third sister-in-law, don't scare Yao'er."

Jiang Shi was reluctant to mention things in the northwest again, and in the middle of the night she would dream of her days in the northwest and dream of her indulging and laughing...... She didn't even know herself in her dreams, and remembering the past only made her feel sad.

Wang Zhiyao lowered her eyelids, could she let Jiang re-experience the previous scenery by crossing the suspension bridge?

She doesn't seek fame, and she doesn't want to dominate among the ladies, and it is her responsibility to make the Jiang family happy.

"Mother, if I am scared when I go to the middle, will you rush over to protect me?"

"Yao'er......" Jiang Shi smiled, "Why are you afraid?" ”

"Why not, didn't you look at the ladies in front of the suspension bridge and turned white with fright? Now I'm still confident, but I'm afraid to go to the middle......"

"As long as you do what I say, you will not be in danger, you are not allowed to calculate me, Yao'er, I tell you, I will not run out to help you, you must walk on your own on the suspension bridge."

Jiang knew his daughter's temperament too well, and repeatedly warned Wang Zhiyao not to be cautious.

The third aunt covered her mouth and smiled lightly, the mother and daughter were also interesting, and they all thought about each other.

Wang Zhiyao got out of the carriage and waited for the lady in front of her to pass through the suspension bridge, only to be far away from the danger of not feeling too dangerous, only to find that the suspension bridge was swaying in the air, and the wooden planks used seemed to be in disrepair with a faint musty smell, and the most terrifying point was that under the suspension bridge was a river that could not see the depth, and a raised boulder suddenly appeared somewhere in the river, once it fell and touched, it was either dead or injured.

No wonder the ladies dare not move forward.

The lady who mustered up the courage to set off first cried and fell down in the middle of the suspension bridge, her mournful cry echoed in the valley, and the lady behind the town did not dare to leave.

When Wang Zhiyao was standing aside to observe the suspension bridge, she heard someone next to her speak: "Miss Wang? ”

There was only her surname Wang, and when she looked up, she didn't know the woman standing in front of her, dressed as a woman, "Who are you?" ”

Judging by the grade, it should be the wife of a certain general soldier, and the girl standing next to this bright woman is only thirteen or fourteen years old, with an excellent appearance, and a group of blue colors outlines her hot figure.

"You don't know me, but I know you."

The wife is only seventeen or eighteen years old, combing Feiyun bun, pearlescent on her head, wearing a peony placket on her upper body, and a long skirt embroidered with peony petals on her lower body. It attracts the attention of many people.

"My surname is Gu."

"Mrs. Gu is fine."

Wang Zhiyao bent her knees and saw the Mrs. Gu in front of her. I still can't think of where I've met her. I don't know where her hostility towards her comes from.

"My father is the Marquis of Changxin, I wonder if Miss Wang has any impressions?"

“……”

The daughter of the Marquis of Changxin? Gu Sanshao's cousin?

Marquis Changxin is the same age as Emperor Qianyuan, and it is not unusual to have such a big daughter.

The corners of Mrs. Gu's mouth hooked, and she said mockingly: "But remember?" The year before last, I married the son of the commander of the Liaodong Army, and today I specially brought my sister-in-law to Yaowu Villa. ”

The Liaodong General Army has 20,000 elite soldiers in their hands, stationed in an important town in the northeast of the country, and their families live in the capital.

The Gu family's marriage partners are very powerful, Wang Zhiyao thought of this first. Then I understood why Mrs. Gu came to find fault, not because of Gu Sanshao, but because of Changxinhou's recent abnormal performance.

"My father seems to be very proud of Miss Wang in the last few days?" Mrs. Gu showed curiosity on her face, "I'm a very straight person, I really can't see anything special about Miss Wang." ”

Wang Zhiyao, whose appearance is not unconventional, is not the kind of woman that Changxinhou likes.

Wang Zhiyao replied lightly: "I have only seen Changxinhou once in Yinzhangyuan's mansion, and I am almost not familiar with Changxinhou, if Mrs. Gu doesn't believe it, you can ask Changxinhou." ”

If you have the ability, you go to your father to lose your temper, what's the matter with looking for her?

When she's a good bully?

Finally, Changxinhou's side stopped giving gifts, and Changxinhou's daughter came out again, seeing Wang Zhiyao as a fox spirit who seduced Changxinhou...... Wang Zhiyao just can't get married and won't marry Changxinhou.

Mrs. Gu touched a soft nail. "Wan'er." ”

"Sister-in-law." The bright girl with a hot body next to her asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Since Miss Wang and my father also have a relationship. How about letting her cross the suspension bridge first? ”

"Listen to my sister-in-law."

The sister of the Liaodong General Army smiled proudly at Wang Zhiyao, and a look of contempt flashed in her eyes, "Miss Wang, please first." ”

The Wang family actually has some spineless and timid people.

Mrs. Gu is the concubine of the Marquis of Changxin, but she has always been raised by her mother and is quite favored.

She has a sweet mouth, filial piety, and is quite pleasing to the Duchess of Dingguo, who wants a daughter, and her grandmother, the Duchess of Dingguo, is also very fond of him.

When she chose a husband and son-in-law, several elders carefully selected for her, and prepared a dowry to envy others.

Mrs. Gu has always been very proud of this, because of the power and majesty of her mother's family, her mother-in-law family did not dare to treat her as an ordinary concubine, after entering the door, she took charge of the house, and her sister-in-law also relied on her very much and trusted.

Recently, I heard that my father Changxinhou had a 'new trick', and the Jiang family, who was separated from the property, was entangled...... also looked at Wang Zhiyao differently.

Mrs. Gu is not against her father's continuation, whether it is the Jiang family or Wang Zhiyao, where are they worthy of the noble lintel of the Gu family?

"Miss Wang won't be afraid, Xining Hou is known for his bravery, although you are the daughter of the Wang family, you are also the granddaughter of Jiang Houye."

"Thank you, Mrs. Gu."

Wang Zhiyao smiled faintly, walked to the side of the suspension bridge, and looked back: "Since Mrs. Gu is humble, I am not welcome." ”

It was about the reputation of the Marquis Mansion of Xining, and Wang Zhiyao was too lazy to talk nonsense with Mrs. Gu.

Jiang was a little worried, and the third aunt held Jiang's arm and said in a low voice, "Xiao Niuniu is fine." ”

"Hmm." The Jiang family was a little more disgusted with Changxinhou, and the daughter he raised was really not good.

The lady who was crying on the suspension bridge was carried by the servant to the opposite side, and now the suspension bridge is empty, because there is the cry of the first girl, none of the ladies are willing to try it easily, seeing that Wang Zhiyao was 'forced' by Mrs. Gu to go to the suspension bridge first, they are also happy to let Wang Zhiyao go first.

No one argued with Wang Zhiyao.

The sound of trampling horses' hooves, the Marquis of Changxin turned over and dismounted in a gorgeous costume, and the surrounding wives and ladies saluted him, the hereditary marquis was among the super-grade marquis in the dynasty, and he was the eldest brother of Queen Gu and the Duke of Dingguo, and others were respectful to him.

When he saw Wang Zhiyao standing by the suspension bridge, he didn't feel a little worried, and after hearing the reason, his face was very ugly.

Jiang didn't even look at him, and Changxin Hou knew that Jiang must be angry.

In front of everyone, he didn't want to be too harsh on his married daughter, and said loudly: "Ben Hou happens to have to cross the suspension bridge, so it's better for you to go to Yaowu Villa together." ”

"I don't want my grandfather to be underestimated."

Wang Zhiyao smiled distantly, "I dare not take Hou Ye's kindness seriously, Hou Ye treats everyone who meets in Pingshui so kindly." I think it would be better for Mrs. Gu. They need to be taken care of by Hou Ye even more. ”

Let's talk about it. She stepped onto the drawbridge.

The suspension bridge shook gently, and if you walked for the first time, you would feel frightened.

She had walked across the drawbridge before and was not too afraid.

She used to like to travel very much, and she had been to all the places where the peaks were steep, and the suspension bridge in front of her could not keep up with the dangers she had walked before.

Wang Zhiyao walked calmly to the middle of the suspension bridge as usual, and the middle ground swayed even more. Coupled with the effect of strong winds, it was as if the people standing on the suspension bridge were about to fall.

When the people behind saw Wang Zhiyao stop in the middle of the suspension bridge, they thought that they were really scared, and when they saw her steady pace, they thought that she didn't know how to be afraid.

The strong wind blew Wang Zhiyao in a long dress, and some broken hair flew messily between her sideburns, she seemed to stop in mid-air, between the mountains and rivers, and there was a feeling of fluttering immortals.

The ladies looked at each other a little hot, and their fear of crossing the suspension bridge was eliminated. Wang Zhiyao is only known for her piano sound, and she can stand in the middle of the suspension bridge. Why can't you do it yourself?

The third aunt asked Jiang: "What's wrong with Xiao Niuniu?" Why don't you go? ”

"Enjoy the view." The corners of Jiang's mouth curled, and he said proudly: "She has always been bold, and the scenery in the middle of the suspension bridge is the most beautiful. ”

"If there is really a mother, there must be a daughter, the little girl is like enough for you, and another person only wants to cross the suspension bridge." The third aunt thought that she didn't have the courage to play like this.

"Yao'er is stronger than me, better than me everywhere."

“…… Sister-in-law. ”

"Third sister-in-law, this is what I say from my heart."

Jiang didn't want her daughter to be like her.

Chang Xinhou retracted his gaze from the direction where the Jiang family was standing, even if Mrs. Gu was favored, she didn't dare to ignore her biological father Chang Xinhou, changed her arrogance, and said respectfully: "Father." ”

"I'll settle accounts with you when I go back!"

"Father, I'm just ......"

"I'll talk about it later."

Chang Xinhou stopped Mrs. Gu's quibbles, and if something bad happened at this time, he didn't think that Jiang would forgive him again.

……

Wang Zhiyao stood in the middle of the suspension bridge with the rope in her hand, and she thought a lot, and what she thought about the most was that if she screamed and cried at this time, would the Jiang family rush over?

And Gu Sanshao, what about him, will he come over to protect her? Or do you dislike her?

He shouldn't dislike himself.

There was a sound of footsteps behind her, Wang Zhiyao looked back, and couldn't help squinting her eyes, how could it be?

Gu Sanshao?

It's him? Or is it a dream?

Gu Tianze was already quite handsome, but at this time, he was dressed in plain clothes, which made him a little more elegant.

"You ......" Wang Zhiyao was sure that the person in front of her was real, "how could you come?" ”

"The queen has a banquet, how can I not be there?"

"How do you walk the drawbridge?"

"You thought about me on the drawbridge, I heard it, and there it was."

He said this so naturally, if his ears were not red, he would be more confident in his words, and lowered his gaze slightly, Wang Zhiyao is not the best dressed today, but in his eyes, she is the most beautiful, no one can compare.

"The people in the back can't hear, I ...... Let's go. ”

"Has the emperor also arrived?"

"I'll be there in a minute."

Gu Tianze and Wang Zhiyao stood side by side in the middle of the suspension bridge, glanced at the river below, and said with a wicked smile: "Stretch out your hand." ”

"They'll see."

"Stupid, you won't pretend to cry?"

“…… Don't. Wang Zhiyao raised her chin slightly, "You pretend to cry, I'll support you." ”

Gu Tianze thought for a while, and a trace of abnormality flashed in his eyes, "It's not impossible, but what did the emperor say when he asked me?" ”

As for whether others will laugh at him, it is never in his consideration.

“…… Let's just say you're afraid of heights? ”

"The emperor doesn't believe this."

"So you are so bewildered by my beauty that you slip under your feet for a while?"

"......" Gu Tianze looked Wang Zhiyao up and down with a smile for a while, "Beauty? ”

Wang Zhiyao glared at him fiercely.

Gu Tianze chuckled: "Don't be afraid later, with me here, you don't have to be afraid of anything." ”

"What?"

"Actually, it's very easy to drag you across the suspension bridge...... There are many people on the left and right who look at me unpleasantly, and the emperor has not yet arrived, and the imperial guards are always negligent. ”

Gu Tianze raised his arm slightly, "Don't be afraid, Xiao Qi." ”

Without waiting for Wang Zhiyao to react, two flying arrows shot out on the hillside behind. Gu Tianze heard the sound of flying arrows. Turn around and draw your sword in one go. Dangdang doubled, and the arrow was shot down...... Wang Zhiyao's wrist was held by a big hand, "Go." ”

Gu Tianze led Wang Zhiyao to run to the opposite side, the shaking suspension bridge, accompanied by strong wind, screams, the smile on the corner of Wang Zhiyao's mouth became deeper and deeper, and the suspension bridge shook very much. But she wasn't so afraid, "You're so bold." ”

"It's not a big deal." What he wants to do, what can't he do?

"What if someone gets caught?"

"The imperial guards have not yet been armed, and I am very familiar with the terrain here......" Gu Tianze tightened his wrists, damn, the drawbridge is still too short, and it will be there soon, "But there will definitely be people in the court who are unlucky." ”

Wang Zhiyao put her feet on the ground, "Are you for me?" Or is it for the sake of calculating whom? ”

"Both." Gu Tianze is very honest, "Recently, there have been more crooked chirping voices. It's annoying. ”

Wang Zhiyao shook off Gu Tianze's hand, took a step back and said arrogantly, "Thank you Lord Gu for saving me." ”

“……”

Gu Tianze saw her walk into Yaowu Villa without looking back. Angry? Shouldn't you tell the truth?

"Lord Gu, Lord Gu, are you okay?"

The guards guarding Yaowu Villa ran over and asked in fear, "My subordinates have already sent someone to chase after me." ”

"Hmm."

Gu Tianze kept a straight face, "Strengthen defense, the emperor will arrive in a while, and no more mistakes will be allowed." ”

Glancing back at the lady on the other side of the suspension bridge, Gu Tianze said coldly: "Special situation, special treatment, order someone to escort them over, use the boat...... The suspension bridge is temporarily closed. ”

"But the emperor ......"

"If the emperor is to blame, you will say that I ordered it."

Gu Tianze's sleeves waved, "Go and do things." ”

"Whoa."

The guards bowed down to obey the order, and Gu Tianze stared intently for a long time in the direction where the arrow was fired, as if he was pondering who the assassin was.

On the other side, the ladies who heard that the ferry could pass through breathed a sigh of relief, finally no longer having to cross the suspension bridge, and at the same time they had a little regret in their hearts, why didn't they have Wang Zhiyao's luck?

met Gu Sanshao in the middle of the suspension bridge, and was 'saved' by Gu Sanshao.

How blessed is Wang Zhiyao to be saved by Gu Sanshao?

In case you take a step to the sky in the future...... The ladies have always regarded Gu Sanshao as a golden beetle son-in-law, thinking of Wang Zhiyao's background, the girls are much less jealous, Wang Zhiyao is impossible to be Gu Sanshao's wife, even if Emperor Qianyuan does not give the princess to Gu Sanshao, he will also choose a county lord or a famous daughter to marry.

No matter how you choose, it is impossible to choose Wang Zhiyao.

"She was smart, she knew that she didn't have hope, so she pretended to be reserved and pushed Master Gu away, without even saying a word of gratitude."

The ladies who boarded the ferry talked in private.

The third aunt grabbed Jiang's arm and persuaded: "It's just a few sour words, if you teach them a lesson at this time, this matter will get bigger and bigger." ”

"No, you can't get used to them! No one can say that Yao'er is bad. ”

Jiang now only expects her children to live, especially for her daughter, she is even more guilty, she got rid of her sister-in-law, Jiang walked to the most fierce lady, "You say my daughter is pretending to be reserved? ”

"Madame Chiang."

The girl saluted and said, "You misunderstood, I just ...... Just ......"

"At that time, the situation was dangerous, and I only cared about fleeing for my life, how could I think of anything else? If you were replaced, you would not be able to run to the other side! Jiang Shi angrily accused: "If you want to tie up with Lord Gu, even if you use your skills, don't step on my daughter to talk about things, you are looking forward to marrying Lord Gu, others may not see him well in their hearts, and my daughter will marry in the future." ”

"The expedient measures in times of danger are said to be done, your thoughts are too dark, how can there be a little bit of freedom from the tiger girl? The whole is a long-tongued woman. ”

"My daughter was implicated by Lord Gu, why did she give Lord Gu a good look?"

"Madame Chiang is right."

Chang Xinhou responded loudly at the back of the cabin, "Ben Hou also thinks that Aze wants to apologize to Miss Wang Qi, if it wasn't for Aze who was suddenly in danger, how could Miss Wang Qi be in danger?" ”

"Don't bother the Marquis of Changxin." Jiang Shi alienated the kindness of Changxin Hou, and said to the lady: "If you want to marry Master Gu, just say it, don't think that everyone else has the same mind as you!" ”

The ferry docked on the shore at this time, Jiang Shi stood at the door of the cabin, and said coldly: "Let me hear any of you talk about my daughter clinging to Gu Sanshao, just like this incense burner......"

I heard a loud bang, and the gilded incense burner was slapped into a cake by Jiang's slap.

Everyone was shocked, Jiang ...... The strength is too great, how did the fourth master of the Immortal King endure the Jiang family for so many years?

Chang Xinhou's eyes were fiery and fiery, and his body trembled with excitement, he hadn't felt this way for a long, long time, and it was even more refreshing than the woman he had favored before, at this time he had forgotten the hidden disease, and only remembered Jiang's 'strength'.

Emperor Qianyuan arrived at Yaowu Villa, and after hearing that Gu Tianze had been attacked, he was furious and ordered the factory guard to investigate the matter thoroughly. ”

Wearing a flying fish suit and an embroidered spring knife on his waist, the brocade guard bowed down and said, "Obey." ”

Liu Gonggong, the capital of the East Factory, was overjoyed, this time he could take advantage of this matter to embarrass the ministers of the court, so that they would always say that the factory guards colluded with Gu Sanshao, so that they would know the price of their words!

Emperor Qianyuan looked at Gu Sanshao several times up and down, and asked, "You just run by yourself, what are you doing with a wordy person?" Not to her at the moment? ”

"Marquis Jiang's granddaughter." Gu Tianze said seriously: "Besides, the minister doesn't want to implicate innocent people. ”

"Just for that?"

"What do you think?" Gu Tianze asked rhetorically.

Emperor Qianyuan looked at him for a long time, but he really couldn't see anything greasy, and said abruptly: "That's it, you go to the banquet with me." ”

If he forcibly stuffed Wang Zhiyao to Gu Tianze, it would not be impossible, but Aze would not be happy, and it would not be easy to explain to Jiang Dayong, "I will let the queen reward her in a while, and suppress the shock." ”

"Whatever you want." Gu Tianze looked uninterested.

Emperor Qianyuan completely let go of his doubts, it seems that the person Aze loves is not her, so which one is it?

PS continues to ask for pink, and at the end of the month, I beg for your support. (To be continued......)
