Five hundred and thirty-eight chapters
Xiao Yang didn't have to think about it to understand that most of the good things in front of him would be Gu Mingnuan's dowry, and the dignified Yan Wangfu couldn't hold the princess's dowry, and at present, it seemed that the place where he was prepared was still a little smaller, and when Gu Mingnuan came out of the pavilion to display the dowry, I don't know how many people's sideways eyes would be aroused.
King Yan will not even keep the princess's dowry.
Gu Mingnuan was very curious about the gift sent by his aunt, but he didn't shout like King Anle, seeing Xiao Yang looking over with a smile at the door, his posture was tall, no matter how beautiful the gem was, he couldn't catch up with his beautiful handsome face.
"Aren't you going to the palace today?"
"Your Majesty is in poor health, and after the dispersal of the dynasty, he will go back to the harem to rest."
Xiao Yang's tone was flat, but Gu Mingnuan felt that the dragon's body was sick, and he was afraid that it was Emperor Chu's excuse, "What did you do again?" Once again, Emperor Chu was forced to avoid him.
"You've wronged me." A touch of innocence flashed in Xiao Yang's eyes, "Your Majesty was still unaccustomed to the soil just now, and the dragon's body is slightly uncomfortable, I think it's okay." Your Majesty changed Yanjing to Anjing, and I didn't say anything. ”
He didn't say anything against it, how much did Emperor Chu pay in private to change the name of the capital, I am afraid that Emperor Chu will feel distressed when he thinks about it, Gu Mingnuan has a flash of inspiration, "Do you delay Emperor Chu to worship the first emperor again?" ”
Xiao Yang flicked Gu Mingnuan's forehead, the deeper the smile on his lips, and took her hand again, "I haven't seen many of the gifts sent by the Lu family, and I have seen it for a long time." ”
Seeing that he had other arrangements, Gu Mingnuan didn't ask again, and it would be good for her to delay it, at least she could calculate more accurately, and accompany Xiao Yang to see those treasures.
"I don't send it soon, I don't send it late, but I will send it to the palace after my mother moves away, who can say that Mrs. Gu is not a high and low person?"
The second lady Ouyang was full of sourness, and complained to Gu Zheng, who looked depressed, "You and your aunt are brothers and sisters, what is Gu Yan?" Can you use a large bag to move things to his palace? ”
Gu Zheng was also annoyed in his heart, thinking that he could find a chance to win the emperor's favor again after hibernation for a while, but who knew that Gu Yan moved away without saying a word, and there was nowhere to borrow if he wanted to, so he turned his back to the second lady, "Think less about what you don't have, when my sister was in the boudoir, I didn't see how close you were to her." ”
Can the concubine's daughter-in-law be close to Jiang's own child?
What's more, the second lady is the niece of the aunt, when she was in her mother's house, she only knew that her aunt was favored, although Jiang was a wife, she didn't like the old lady at all, and the aunt gave birth to the only son of the old lady.
Later, she learned that the old lady wanted to send her sister-in-law to the palace to be the imperial concubine, and her attitude towards the sister-in-law improved, after all, the sister-in-law of the imperial concubine is still quite glorious, and in the future, the sister-in-law will give birth to the prince, maybe they can also become relatives of the emperor, and it will also be of great benefit to Gu Zheng's career.
But Mrs. Tai quietly decided on the Lu family's family affair and married her only daughter to a mute, ruining the possibility of the Gu family's marriage with the royal family.
She thought that her sister-in-law was destined to be unhappy, and she had already bothered to give the Lu family a New Year's gift over the years, but she never expected the Lu family to be so extravagant, "I used to be shallow-eyed, and I didn't see that Mrs. Gu was rich, but Mrs. Gu couldn't only think about Gu Yan for all good things, he led the prince's money, and he was a man who could fight, he only had one warm sister in the family, what was the use of him asking for gold, silver and jewelry?" On the contrary, it is the Gu family, there are many clansmen, most of them are attached to us, if your little money is not filled by the family's business, it may not be enough. ”
"I see that my mother has emptied all the good things in the courtyard, and we can't get a penny when I come to my mother's private room. Don't you know, the eyes of the three brothers and sisters are red, and Sister Xuan is not angry. Let's ...... sister."
When the second lady said this, her eyes were red, she bit the corner of the brocade quilt, and choked: "She was forced to death by Mrs. Tai, if she was here, she would be able to please Mrs. Tai and share the benefits, now I don't know if she is doing well or not, in that place in the Hou Mansion, she is a concubine, I ...... I feel so sorry for her. ”
"Let's swallow this breath for the glory and wealth of the Gu family, and for Sister Nuan'er to marry King Yan smoothly, all of them are dead, but what do we get in the end? My father-in-law exhausted his efforts for Gu Yanfeng Wang, he refused to make even a contribution to your career, the third brother and sister showed off their power in front of me, and your brother was aggressive outside, and he had the idea of catching up with you. ”
The second lady turned over and sat up and pushed Gu Zheng's tight shoulders, "Mrs. Tai is partial to Gu Yan, I only think she can't get used to her concubine, and I feel sorry for Gu Shilang, who she raised single-handedly, but why does your father also treat Gu Yan as a baby pimple?" There was a great intention to hand over the Gu family to him, but my cousin didn't think about whether there was a reason for it? ”
"Why? Does my father count as ashamed of the fourth uncle? ”
Gu Zheng said this, but he beat a drum in his heart, he could not care about Gu Yan's throne, and he would never want to give up the position of the patriarch of the Gu clan in Nanyang to Gu Yan, and master the Gu family, so that he would have a chance to make a comeback, and only then would he be able to be a fellow in the court.
Xiao Yang's strength, Xiao Yue's momentum and ambition to guide the country, even Xie Jue, who is in charge of the Xie family, can make Emperor Chu treat him politely, and Gu Zheng is no longer willing to kneel at the feet of Emperor Chu like a servant woman, and let Emperor Chu handle it.
It can be said that the scruples of the Xiao family and the frequent concessions of Emperor Chu made many officials less in awe of the imperial power.
If he can hold the Gu family in his hands, get Gu Yan's help, and marry the Jingbei Hou Xiao family, will he be able to become one of them? At least not as inactive as it is now.
"Just a guilt that can be managed for a lifetime? Cousin, don't you see that Mrs. Tai would rather not have a reputation and help Gu Yan, where is this for her nephew? Who have you seen Mrs. Tai so nice to before? It's not that I think about it too much, even Mrs. Tai is not so careful with her sister-in-law. ”
The second lady pursed the corners of her mouth and whispered: "My father-in-law seems to have atoned for Gu Yan, this is not just guilt, let's find an opportunity to ask my aunt?" Quietly go to the south and bring my aunt over. ”
"If she knew about the past, would she wait until today? Don't listen to the instigation of the third brother and sister, your father will never reconcile with your mother, if you really feel sorry for Wan'er and want to help me, it is better to go to your mother every day to say goodbye. ”
Gu Zheng's eyes flashed, and his voice was low: "It's impossible for my aunt to be liked by my father anymore." ”
He put on his coat and ignored the second lady's resistance, "I'll go to the study to rest, and you sleep first." ”
There are some things that he needs to think about, in case Gu Yan's background is in doubt, he can also plan early, he has not been ignorant of the Gu family all these years.
In the middle of the night, Xiao Yue was called over by his mother, and Mrs. Tai was very happy and said: "The doctor has diagnosed her pulse, she is happy, Master Hou, this time I will take care of her personally." (To be continued.) )
