The more the eldest lady Hao thought about it, the more frightened she became, and she looked at the old lady Cui nervously, for fear that she would say something.

But Old Madam Cui didn't say anything, only ordered: "Everyone go back to their own courtyards, restrain their subordinates, don't walk around, and don't provoke the Jinyi guards outside." No one is allowed to go out without my command. ”

"At this moment, the Jinyi guards have not broken in, so it can be seen that the guards are not raiding the house. If the news of Hamiwei does not come back, our Qingyang Marquis Mansion may not be able to be free all the time. You have to endure for a few days, the Hou Ye died of martyrdom, died well, did not surrender to the enemy and treason, we will all be safe. ”

Seeing that everyone's uncertain expressions were much more stable than just now, Old Madam Cui said, "Let's all go back." Mama Ding, you go and see who is in charge of Jinyiwei outside, and if it is convenient for him, please invite him to come in and talk. ”

As soon as Mrs. Cui's words fell, the chief housekeeper Wan Rong hurriedly walked in: "Old lady, Jinyiwei said that he wants our fourth lady to go to the second gate." ”

When Mrs. Cui heard this, she couldn't help frowning: "The four girls are only ten years old, what are they looking for the four girls?" ”

Wan Rong shook his head: "Those people didn't say it. ”

"Mama Ding, you accompany the fourth miss and protect the fourth miss." Old Madam Cui said again: "If there is nothing to do, let the fourth lady come back quickly." ”

Gu Chongyang was originally very worried, but after listening to Mrs. Cui's words, he felt very warm in his heart. Mrs. Cui is still as sincere as ever.

When he arrived at the second gate, Gu Chongyang found that Hao Shaoyang was also standing there.

Seeing Gu Chongyang coming, he hurriedly took a few steps forward and wanted to catch up, but the Jinyi guard blocked the door and blocked him from the door.

"Cousin Chongyang, how are you?" Hao Shaoyang looked Gu Chongyang up and down, with unconcealed concern on his face: "Did they embarrass you?" ”

"Why are you here?" Gu Chongyang stood inside the door and said softly: "Something like this happened to the Gu family, and it was too late for others to dodge, how could you come over?" Go back, I'm fine. They didn't trouble me. ”

"That's good, that's good." Hao Shaoyang put his mind at ease, and comforted Gu Chongyang again: "Don't be afraid, I won't ignore you." No matter what, I'll keep you safe. I really can't do it, so I will go and beg the queen's aunt, she loves me so much, she will definitely agree to my request. Don't worry, I won't let you go to prison, you believe me. ”

In such a chaotic time, he could still run to comfort himself without avoiding suspicion, Gu Chongyang's eyes turned red all of a sudden: "Of course I believe you, you also have to believe me, my eldest uncle has not defected to the enemy and treasoned, and our Gu family will be fine." You must not beg the queen mother, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, don't embarrass the queen mother. She's your aunt, you can't mess around. ”

"Alas, at this time, you still say these things." Hao Shaoyang gritted his teeth and said, "Could it be that in your heart, am I the kind of person who comes nonsense?" ”

"Of course not, I know you have rules for doing things, and I believe that you will keep me safe. It's just that I'm fine at the moment, and nothing dangerous is happening. You don't have to beg the queen, when I'm really in danger, at that time, I won't agree if you don't help me." ”

Gu Chongyang glanced at the Jinyi Guard, who was standing straight like a wooden stake, and said with a slight smile: "They didn't break into the inner house, they only guarded outside the second gate, I should eat and drink as usual, and it didn't affect me at all." Hao Shaoyang, you can rest assured. ”

"I can't rest assured, I didn't expect you to be worried at all." Hao Shaoyang sighed, and then suddenly remembered something: "This is the pea yellow offered by the palace emperor, it tastes delicious, I specially brought it to you to try it." ”

He took a small pastry box from the guard behind him and handed it to Gu Chongyang.

The brocade guard immediately blocked it with an embroidered spring knife: "Open the box!" ”

Hao Shaoyang glared angrily: "This is a royal thing in the palace, can't you see it?" ”

Gu Chongyang hurriedly took it and opened it without hesitation, the brightly colored pea yellow looked particularly attractive.

In front of Jin Yiwei, Gu Chongyang pinched a piece and put it in his mouth, the sweet and soft pea yellow melted in his mouth, which was much more delicious than what he usually made in the house.

Hao Shaoyang's face was full of anticipation: "Is it delicious?" ”

"It's delicious." Gu Chongyang nodded again and again, and a satisfied smile bloomed: "It's the first time I've eaten such delicious pea yellow." ”

"Then I'll send someone to bring you one every day." Hao Shaoyang also smiled, seeing that Gu Chongyang was happy, he felt like eating pea yellow, and his heart was sweet and very satisfied.

"This is Zhang San, this is Li Si." Hao Shaoyang introduced the two behind him to Gu Chongyang and said, "I left Zhang San here, if you have anything to do, just tell him to do it." You can eat whatever you want, buy whatever you want, and if you want to see me, tell him and he'll find me. Chongyang, don't be afraid. ”

Gu Chongyang's eyes widened and asked, "Aren't Zhang San and Li Si the two guards before you?" How did it change? ”

"This is the personal guard my aunt found for me, Zhang San and Li Si are not their names, but their positions." Hao Shaoyang said: "It turns out that those two people were punished by my aunt because I was going to Ningxiawei and have been sent to other places. ”

"You!" Gu Chongyang shook his head: "Then you must not come nonsense in the future." ”

Hao Shaoyang nodded: "Then I'm leaving, you have something, you must notify me." ”

"Let's go back."

The new Zhang San looked at Hao Shaoyang's back with a look of resentment, and when his eyes fell on Li Si, he turned into envy again.

He is a personal guard, not a door god, and it is too tiring to stay here and stare at Jinyiwei.

Gu Chongyang smiled and said, "You go back, you don't need you here." ”

"No way!" Zhang San said: "The master ordered me to guard here, and I must guard here." ”

"Okay." Gu Chongyang looked at the imperial waist card in Zhang San's waist, and then looked at Jinyiwei's face full of black lines, and his originally depressed mood suddenly cleared up a lot.

Hao Shaoyang is a person who sometimes seems to be very good!

She thanked Mama Ding and returned to the Begonia Courtyard.

For the next whole month, the Qingyang Hou Mansion was imprisoned/imprisoned, and even the second and fourth masters were also imprisoned/imprisoned in the mansion and were not allowed to go out and walk.

The entire Gu family was panicked and worried, and the second lady had a poor ability to bear it, and often cursed the dead Qingyang Marquis Gu Zhanpeng behind her back and the old lady Ge did not do good deeds and implicated others.

Hao Shaoyang came to visit Gu Chongyang from time to time and brought delicious snacks, which made the second lady Gu Chongzhu very jealous, she either came to find trouble with Gu Chongyang, or ran to the second gate when Hao Shaoyang came.

Although they are both cousins, Hao Shaoyang's attitude towards the two can be said to be very different, and sometimes he speaks ill of Gu Chongzhu.

At first, Gu Chongzhu could bear it, but then she finally couldn't help it, tore through her disguised face, and scolded Hao Shaoyang.

Of course, after the two of them quarreled, Hao Shaoyang came again, and Gu Chongzhu never appeared again.

Gu Chongyang spent his eleventh birthday in such a situation. No one knows, no one remembers, everyone is busy with the big things of life and death, and no one will pay attention to her birthday, let alone celebrate her birthday.

On her birthday, she got up very early, first put a stick of incense on the tablet of the fourth lady, silently said something to the fourth lady in her heart, and then ordered a bowl of longevity noodles by herself.

At the end of September, the autumn wind in the capital gradually became cold, and Jinyiwei finally presented the results of the investigation to the emperor's imperial case.

The next day, the emperor's will for the judgment of the Marquis of Qingyang finally came down.

"Qingyang Marquis Gu Zhanpeng, the world is favored by the country, and he does not want to repay the service. forgetfulness of righteousness, selfishness and bad publicity; The wind and the moon are in trouble, misleading the country and the people. The reliance on me and the shame of the ancestors' names should have been severely punished, and he remembered that he had died for the country, so he opened the net and did not pursue his family. When the decree comes, he will be removed from his position and his title will be removed to set an example. ”

The top and bottom of the Qingyang Marquis Mansion were stunned.

No one thought that the title passed down from their ancestors would be taken away like this.

Old Madam Ge fainted on the spot, the eldest lady trembled in disbelief, and even Old Madam Cui, who didn't know how many winds and waves she had experienced, had a very ugly face.

But in the end, she could still support the eunuch who received the decree and took care of the decree, and when she sent the person away, she said to the eldest lady Ge Shi: "Brother Peng's daughter-in-law, things have been corrupted to this point, and no one thought of it. Hou Ye ......"

Remembering that the title had been taken away, and Gu Zhanpeng was no longer the Marquis of Qingyang, she paused and said: "The eldest lord is at fault first, and the saint will not be held accountable, it is already the emperor's grace." simply did not sin against the family, you and I were spared a disaster, and the ancestors' land and inheritance were also preserved. After this incident, if the Gu family can learn to work hard, the sons can take this as a warning, always encourage, and strive for self-improvement, it is not a good thing to be unfinished, and our Gu family will not be able to re-enter the door of hairpins. ”

The eldest lady Hao cares most about this throne, and now that the throne is gone, her ambition is gone. The whole person sat there suddenly, wanting to cry without tears.

Mrs. Cui remembered that when her late husband died, she had only been married for a few months, so why wasn't she panicking? Later, her son also died, and she thought she wouldn't survive, but she didn't slowly survive.

Now, it is in vain for others to persuade her, and she must turn the corner herself.

Mrs. Cui shook her head, not knowing whether she was disappointed or unbearable: "You have a mother-in-law and children, and they are all counting on you." The big man is gone, you should hold it up. If Brother Rong fights for anger, in the future, everything will be possible. ”
