Chapter 163: The Gu Family
Since the Gu family in Beijing heard that the emperor sent Luo Gong and Yu Shi to the north to thoroughly investigate the Tongqian Zhixian case, Gu Xiu and the other Gu family members did not react much, but Gu Shi began to get anxious. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The people he sent also rushed to Nanli Mansion when Yu Shi left, and it was the first time to enter Nanli Wangfu today.
The person sent by Gu Jun was his eldest son Gu Junshi, in addition to his own parents, Gu Jun couldn't trust others at this time, so Gu Junshi took Gu Shu's words and personally entered Wang's mansion and sat in the middle room of Mrs. Wang's courtyard to talk secretly.
Mrs. Wang is Gu Junshi's aunt, and her nephew is sitting opposite the kang, she knows what Gu Junshi is here to do, and she has listened to some words, but she can't take it down:
"This is the ...... Let your aunt think about it. ā
Gu Junshi also knew that he couldn't be in a hurry: "Yes, aunt, the nephew will go first?" ā
Mrs. Wang nodded, and Gu Junshi quickly left the house.
It didn't take long for Mrs. Wang to be half-crooked on the kang, and when she saw Gu's mother, she entered the house, and the door was not closed again, only the bamboo curtain was lowered.
"Young Master Gu Biao is back here, but it's for the emperor's errand?"
Gu's mother is Mrs. Wang's confidant, and she doesn't want to hide it from Gu's mother:
"Yes, the sixth brother is in a hurry, worried that the matter will be revealed, let Brother Shi'er come to explore the situation."
"Then ......" Gu's mother hesitated, not daring to continue.
"Don't worry, it's not out of hand yet." Mrs. Wang picked up the bowl of tea on the kang table and took a sip, as if she was confident.
Gu Shu asked Gu Junshi to pass on a word, and the one in Jingzhong said that if he was not sure that he could retreat, then he would accept it in time.
Otherwise, you can continue.
Seeing that Mrs. Wang was so unfazed, Gu's mother didn't say anything more, and turned to talk about Wang Hai:
"These days, the second master listens to the eldest lady, and has been staying in the house before the young master Gu Biao came, the second master sent someone to ask, saying that there is an important deal that the second master needs to discuss in person tomorrow, and ask the eldest lady if she may go?"
"Didn't you just come to report yesterday, Commander Luo went to the outskirts of the Iron Village, that is one of several villages?" Mrs. Wang didn't recall what her mother sent someone to ask on behalf of Wang Hai, but talked about Luo Gong and Liancheng running to Tie Village.
Gu's mother knew about this, and yesterday the head of Quzhuang, a suburban grange, sent someone to report it, and she informed Mrs. Wang at that time.
Mrs. Wang had murderous intentions at that time, but when she heard that it was Luo Gong who went to Tie Village, she changed her mind and stopped killing Li Tuwa and his father.
When asked again, Gu's mother was a little unsure of what Mrs. Wang meant, so she only replied in a decent manner:
"Yes, I also went to the field at the foot of the Nameless Mountain to take a look, and even the Nameless Mountain was investigated in detail, and it has been found on Song Huaishi's head."
"Li Xinshu of the Thousand Households?" Mrs. Wang asked.
Gu's mother nodded: "It's Li Qianhu." ā
"Song Huaishi doesn't have any bad criminal records, we are cautious enough, they can't find anything unusual in the nameless mountain, this is not afraid, it's just ......" It's just that Mrs. Wang didn't expect Li Xinshu to saddle up for Luo Gong, "Li Xinshu's father Li Shi is Langzhong of the Ministry of War, although the prince is the acting household department, not the Ministry of War, but Wei Xianmin, the secretary of the Ministry of War, has always been a faction of the prince, this Li Langzhong is very good friends with Wei Shangshu, and there was also the intention of marrying children, but it is a pity that the creation made people, and in the end it didn't work, but somehow, These two families did not become enemies because they did not become relatives, but their friendship was better than before. ā
This point has always puzzled Mrs. Wang.
She married into the Wang family, and followed Wang Jingqiong to leave Beijing and move back to the Wang family's ancestral house to take root, and she has always wanted to return to Beijing.
Wang Jingqiong can't do anything, she thinks about it.
So she has always been very concerned about the situation in Beijing, although some of them are not known in time, and some of them cannot be known, but about eight or nine times out of ten, she still knows some, thanks to her sixth brother of her mother's family.
Gu's mother was suspicious: "What does the eldest lady mean is that this Li Qianhu is the commander of Luo because of the prince?" Commander Luo has already entered the prince's wing? ā
Mrs. Wang shook her head: "If this is the case, then the official position of the commander of the Jinyi Guard in Beijing has already been replaced, where will Commander Luo be ordered by the emperor to go north to investigate the case?" ā
"Didn't the eldest lady say that Li Langzhong and Wei Shangshu were good friends? This Wei Shangshu is the prince's person, isn't this Li Langzhong? "Gu's mother didn't understand.
"No, although these two people are very good friends, Li Langzhong is also a strange person, his official position is only five grades, but his temper is arrogance of one grade, and he has been unmoved by all parties of the prince, the second prince, and the third prince over the years." Mrs. Wang paused, "He can't be regarded as anyone's person, if you really count it, he is a neutral faction, he should be the emperor's person, and now is, whoever does the Ninety-Five in the future, then he is who's person." ā
There are many forces in Beijing, but they are not only the forces of the three minor masters.
And Li Shi can make the Li family so complicated in Beijing, and it is a situation where all parties are co-opted and stick to a neutral position, Gu's mother can't help but secretly give a thumbs up to this five-grade soldier.
As if seeing the appreciation in Gu's mother's heart, Mrs. Wang smiled:
"At the beginning, I gave the sixth child a reminder and asked the sixth to get close to Li Langzhong, and the original intention was also to want the sixth to take the boat of Li Langzhong, and to win over some strength of the military department for the one in Beijing, not to be able to compete with the prince, I hope that before something happens, the sixth child can get the news first, and then give it to the one in Beijing, the sixth child wants to exceed the fifth child's wish, and there is about half of the chance, but in the end it didn't come true."
Mrs. Wang sighed, her expression was extremely regretful, and she also hated that iron could not become steel.
Gu's mother only glanced at it, and knew that Mrs. Wang was blaming the sixth master of the Gu family in Beijing for being useless, and she couldn't even take it down.
Mrs. Wang motioned to Gu's mother to come over and pinch her shoulder, and after Gu's mother got started, she snorted comfortably twice:
"I don't sleep well these days, and I always feel that everything hurts, and if you pinch my shoulder like this, I will be much more comfortable."
After Gu's mother answered the sentence, she didn't say anything more, but paid more attention to the strength in her hands.
Mrs. Wang didn't think about what Gu's mother should do to her, and after praising Gu's mother, she said to herself:
"I also understand that Li Langzhong is a person who can't even win over the three little masters, and the sixth child probably doesn't even have a twenty-percent hope, but in the end, I have hope, otherwise the sixth ......."
After a pause, after all, it was the younger brother who wanted to support each other to achieve the goal, and Mrs. Wang's almost blurted out the word mud was swallowed back with urgent concern, and changed:
"I can't catch up with Li Langzhong, no wonder the sixth child, I understand, but I just think the fifth child is good, but the fifth child is not close to my second sister, and the sixth child is close to me, but he is not very capable, but the sixth child is restless, I am afraid that in the end, the fifth child will not let go of the sixth child, after all, the Gu family in Beijing today is supported by the fifth child."
"Whether it is the fifth master or the sixth master, they are all the younger brothers of the eldest lady's relatives, no matter how much they are connected by blood, the eldest lady does not need to be too worried." Gu's mother only chose to persuade her.
Mrs. Wang looked back at Gu's mother, and with a smile, Gu's mother suddenly became heavy, she snorted softly, and Gu's mother was so frightened that she let go.
patted her shoulder, which had been accidentally pinched heavily by Gu's mother, and Mrs. Wang asked Gu's mother to continue:
"It's okay, you, I still understand and rest assured, if there is anyone else in this Nanli Wang Mansion who I trust with all my heart, it will be you."
Gu's mother was gradually reddened by Mrs. Wang's words, and she only felt that she would not marry half a step away from Mrs. Wang in her life, and this would be worth Mrs. Wang's words!
Mrs. Wang didn't have to look back, she also knew that Gu's mother was both moved and sad, she patted Gu's mother's hand on her shoulder, and the roughness of her hand made her feel a little nostalgic:
"It's really unforgiving, we are all old, but the old is old, the heart can be old, and the courage can't go back the older you get."
There was something in this, and Gu's mother understood it, but she still didn't say anything.
"I am the only one left by my side who accompanies me to marry into the Wang family, and now for so many years, if you have anything to say, you can't learn from others to pick out the good ones to listen to me, and the bad ones are put in the stomach and don't say it." Mrs. Wang motioned to Gu's mother that she didn't have to pinch her, and pulled Gu's mother to the side of the kang and sat down.
Gu's mother was kneeling on the kang, kneeling behind Mrs. Wang and pinching Mrs. Wang's shoulder.
This will be Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Wang turned around again, and the two instantly sat face to face on the side of the kang.
Gu's mother was careful to follow the rules, and quickly wanted to go down to the kang, but was stopped by Dr. Wang:
"Big lady?"
Mrs. Wang said: "Do you think the sixth child is unreliable? I was wrong from the beginning, wrong to choose the wrong person? ā
Gu's mother didn't pick and choose from them, she chose and chosen, looking at Mrs. Wang's eyes full of soft colors, as if she was looking at the eyes of the third lady of the Gu family in Beijing who had not yet left the pavilion.
Mrs. Wang was also touched by Gu's mother's eyes.
How long has it been since the master and servant have not returned to their best memories from the beginning?
"Third Miss......" Gu's mother slid down a line of tears, and her voice was slightly choked: "Rong Lao Nu shouted to the eldest lady again Third Miss, Third Miss, over the years, you have married into the Wang family, and moved to Nanli Mansion with the third aunt to live in Nanli Mansion for a long time. Why do you have to fight for that false name? ā
Mrs. Wang was also in tears, but when she heard Gu's mother ask her at the end, she instantly put aside Gu's mother and held her hand, and said in a slightly cold tone:
"Why? What's so bad? Didn't you just say that you knew all these years of my hardships and hardships? How? Are they all fake? It's just talking! ā
"Third Miss......" Gu's mother called, she still wanted to persuade Mrs. Wang again, but Mrs. Wang did not give her this opportunity.
Mrs. Wang reprimanded: "I am not the third lady of the Gu family in Beijing for a long time!" I am the eldest lady of Nam Lo Wang! ā
Gu's mother looked at her empty hands, slowly got off the kang, and she knelt under the kang in front of Mrs. Wang:
"The eldest lady, the fifth master is the head of the Gu family in Beijing, and he has always had great skills, the sixth master...... The eldest lady also knows the temperament of the sixth master, does the eldest lady really think that the temperament of the sixth master is enough to bear big things? ā
Mrs. Wang's fingertips shook when she was questioned by Gu's mother, and she moved her hand to the kang table to pick up the tea bowl, but found that her fingertips trembled violently.
The five fingers were slowly tightened into a fist, and after not feeling the uncontrollable trembling of the sharp fingers, Mrs. Wang said:
"The sixth is not suitable for officialdom, my father said this when he was still alive, and I agree with it, but the sixth is not an official, he ......"
"The sixth master is plotting the right to be in charge of the Gu family in Beijing!" Gu's mother took Mrs. Wang's words, and said bitterly: "The eldest lady agrees with the words of the immortal deceased master, and the old man has said another sentence, can the third lady remember?" ā
As soon as the three words of the third lady came out, this was a reminder that Mrs. Wang was the eldest lady of Nanli Wangfu and the daughter of the Gu family in Beijing.
Mrs. Wang has not forgotten, even if she has been married for so many years, she has not forgotten for a moment!
But so what?
Miss Gu Jiasan in Beijing has long become the eldest lady of Nanli Wangfu, that is, in addition to remembering her father's words that the sixth child is not suitable for officialdom and will not be allowed to enter the office, she also remembers another sentence that her father said, so what?
Now that things have come to this, where is there any turning back?
Even if this will be as the one in Beijing said, if it can't hold on anymore to keep the overall situation, it will be stopped in time.
But once you stop it, that big thing will inevitably fail.
Even if she is undefeated, she will not be able to move again in the near future, but can she wait in Nanli Wangfu?
No!
Once she loses, if she wants to catch up with the one in Beijing again, I am afraid that it will be far away!
She understands Gu's mother's bitter heart, and she knows the stakes even better, but she can't stop or accept it!
Mrs. Wang condescendingly glanced at Gu's mother, who was kneeling under the kang, and was silent for a long time, she spoke up and asked Gu's mother to straighten up and stop kneeling.
After Gu's mother got up as she said, Mrs. Wang said:
"What you said, I remember it, my father not only said that the sixth child is not suitable for officialdom, but also said that the sixth child cannot be the head of the family, inheriting the prestige of the imperial doctor in the palace of the Gu family in Beijing for generations, but ......"
Gu's mother raised her eyes to look at Mrs. Wang, but she didn't say anything, she just watched and listened silently.
"But maybe my father was too arbitrary?" Mrs. Wang's words even felt that she was not confident enough, and she buried her head slightly: "The sixth child is not suitable for officialdom, so he is not in the office, but the sixth child's medical skills are not comparable to the fifth child, why can't he become the head of the Gu family?" ā
Gu's mother asked, "Does the eldest lady think that the immortal deceased lord is biased?" ā
"Isn't it?" Mrs. Wang asked Gu's mother a rhetorical question, and when Gu's mother didn't answer, she continued: "Our Gu family in Beijing has always been a virtuous person, and if we don't establish a grandson, we don't have a long-term leader, although the fifth child is a successor, but not a long, if it weren't for the Gu family's ancestral training, how could the fifth child become the head of the Gu family?" ā
Gu's mother said: "The fifth master does have the medical skills, and now it is even more prestigious, even if he is not in Beijing, who doesn't know that the fifth master of the Gu family in Beijing is known as the flesh and bones of life and death?" ā
