Chapter 427: Gu Yan's thoughts

PS: No. 3.24, thanks to the beautiful cat A and Shi Bi Jia.

After Gu Yancong returned to Beijing, he went to the Shenji Battalion to take over the post of deputy commander.

In the past, when he was under the Hou of Pingxi in the northwest, he was the post of deputy commander, but now he is going around and around, as if he has returned to the original point.

The left and right lieutenants of the Shenji Battalion are Jingnan Hou Shizi and one of his brothers.

Jingnanhou also had some military achievements in his early years, and later his eldest daughter married King Nanzhaoning, who was valued by Emperor Zhaoren, and had been leading the Praetorian Guard all these years.

It's just that when I got to the Hou Shizi of Jingnan, it was a lot worse.

First of all, the prince has no military merits and no strength, but it is only by virtue of his family that he is in a high position in the Shenji Battalion.

On the contrary, he is a cousin of his clan, who is more prestigious than him in the Shenji Camp, but now he is always pressed by the Hou Shizi of Jingnan.

As soon as Gu Yan went to the gods, he noticed the delicate relationship between them.

The Marquis of Jingnan is now in his thirties, and he has not made any outstanding achievements, so it is no wonder that he cannot convince the public.

Gu Yan knew what Emperor Zhaoren had transferred him here for, but it was just to frustrate his own spirit. With the military position of Zhengyipin, he served as the deputy envoy of the fourth grade, and a clear-eyed person knew what was going on at a glance.

Therefore, when he went to the Shenji Battalion, Gu Yan did not have any of the shelves of a great general, including the Hou Shizi of Jingnan and a deputy envoy of Gu, and Gu Yan also listened.

The Marquis of Jingnan consciously killed Gu Yan's prestige, and his vanity was unprecedentedly high. What about the conquest of the northwest and the sweep of thousands of troops, now it is not the same under his men, listening to his orders.

Gu Yan's impassivity fell in the eyes of the right deputy general of the same clan of Jingnan Hou Shizi, which was a different situation.

The right deputy general, Wu Jinfu, had contact with Gu Yan and knew that Gu Yan was not a person who lived under others. The Yan family is entrenched in the northwest, and Gu Yan can seize power. Such a person can not be suppressed by the Hou Shizi of Jingnan in one or two sentences.

Wu Jinfu is a few years older than Gu Yan, and he was also young and promising when he was a teenager, but because he was a side branch of the Wu family in the Marquis Mansion of Jingnan, he was a concubine, and he was suppressed a lot, otherwise. It won't be what it is today.

Heroes cherish each other. He has been suppressed by the Hou Shizi of Jingnan for a long time, and he has resentment in his heart, but now Gu Yan is a general who has experienced a hundred battles. How many bloody men in the army admired, but Wu Shizi shouted and drank, not to mention that he was an outsider, even Wu Jinfu couldn't stand it.

Wu Jinfu knew what Emperor Zhaoren had placed Gu Yan in the Shenji Camp for. It's just that at this moment and then, Emperor Zhaoren experienced the blow of the last incident. The body is not as good as before, and King Zheng is set up as the crown prince.

Emperor Zhaoren believed in celestial Taoism, but the current prince did not believe it.

I have seen a lot in the history books, and the old emperor suppressed the generals with heavy troops. When it is time for his son, reappointing this suppressed general can make his liver and brain ruined. Loyalty for a lifetime, saddle before the horse and then die.

Although Emperor Zhaoren and the current crown prince are not father and son. But the situation is much the same.

Once a son of heaven and a courtier, if Gu Yan is used, wouldn't he make enemies for himself.

Therefore, during the short period of time that Gu Yan went to the Shenji Camp, Wu Jinfu invited Gu Yan to get together several times.

Wu Jinfu is different from Wu Shizi, he calls Gu Yan, and he always calls General Gu, not Deputy Envoy Gu like Wu Shizi.

After several contacts, Wu Jinfu was even more impressed by Gu Yan, and it didn't take long for him to become closer.

On this day, I was also invited by Wu Jinfu, and I came back a little late in the evening. When he came back, thinking that Wu Jinfu was starting to be awkward today, Gu Yan found out after several inquiries that he was going to protect himself from the media, Gu Yan couldn't help laughing.

Wu Jinfu is a person with ability and vision. Now watching the phoenix fall and the dragon swimming in the shallows, he took this opportunity to get close to each other.

Today in Wu Mansion, the woman he mentioned was his wife's sister, and although she was not a prominent family in Beijing, she was also a middle-class person.

Now that everyone in the DPRK and China knows that Gu Yan has been degraded, those who originally looked at Gu Yan's upstart are discouraged.

Wu Jinfu was able to make this move, although it was abrupt, but Gu Yan was also grateful to him for his kindness.

At the age of twenty and two, he has no wife and no concubines, which is very out of place in the eyes of others, especially in Beijing.

Only Gu Yan knew that it was not that he didn't marry, but that he was originally delayed because of the turmoil in the northwest, and when he later started to get married, he met such a little girl in Pengcheng, but whenever he met a woman again, he had a heart of comparison.

Compared with each other, I always feel that this lady in Beijing is not as good as a little girl in the countryside, which is really boring.

Just like that, another three or four years passed, until I saw the little girl again, grew up, and the time I saw the thatched hut on a rainy night, Gu Yan's body and mind seemed to be opened at that time.

As he said, it was she who gave him the idea of starting a family.

She saw all that embarrassment to herself, and when he sensed his heart, the longing was strong.

The encounter at the Big Buddha Temple was not accidental.

Knowing that she followed her mother into incense every time, she accompanied Liu's mother to the Big Buddha Temple with the water push boat, but it was just a chance encounter for the opportunity.

Gu Yan sometimes thinks that if it weren't for the Dragon Boat Festival last year, according to her intelligence, she should know that she is more suitable for her than Yang Qing.

The ups and downs in Beijing, ups and downs, she is in the ups and downs, Yang Qing is not suitable for her.

Gu Yan thought about this, sighed, and rubbed the corners of his forehead.

Sure enough, it was idle.

During this time, there were more sighs than in the previous two decades.

Gu Yan finished washing, changed into a nightgown, and was about to go to bed when the housekeeper came.

"General, tomorrow is the birthday banquet of Baifu, the fifth master of the Bai family sent a post, will you go tomorrow?"

Gu Yan frowned when he heard this, and said, "Why are you only saying it now?" ”

"The general has been in the Shenji Camp for the past few days, and when Baifu sent a post a few days ago, his subordinates sent someone to the Shenji Camp to find the general, but he was blocked back by the Wu family. The subordinates thought that there must be some errand on the general, so they did not send anyone to go again. The butler said.

Gu Yan's brows twisted into Sichuan characters, and he was silent for a long time before saying, "I know." ”

The housekeeper couldn't hear if Gu Yan's tone was angry, but Gu Yan didn't let himself retreat, so the housekeeper asked tentatively: "The general will go tomorrow, what kind of birthday gift will he bring, his subordinates will go first." ”

Gu Yan thought for a while, and then said, "You go down first, and I'll go to the warehouse to see it later." ”

The housekeeper was slightly stunned after listening to Gu Yan's words, Gu Yan participated in such a banquet, and he wanted to move his mouth, according to what specifications, and he would prepare it by himself.

Even when Master Yan was doing his birthday, he also let himself watch it, but today he is so solemn that he has to pick it in person.

The butler then thought about it, sighed in his heart, and did not dare to speak again, so he retreated.

Gu Yan didn't know what he was thinking, and after the housekeeper left, he went to the warehouse.

He read the post and knew that it was Old Man Bai and Old Lady Bai who were holding a birthday banquet together. Bai Jin had a noble style in the court at the beginning, and he would rather bend than bend.

Therefore, when Gu Yan was picking a birthday gift, his eyes fell on some ancient pieces. Celebrity calligraphy and paintings, famous inkstones, Gu Yan didn't know much about these things, so he only looked at the markings on the side, so he chose a few.

When it was time to choose for Mrs. Bai, she directly took a large piece of mutton fat jade carved from the willow Guanyin in the warehouse.

The old man believes in Buddhism, and it is always right to send Guanyin.

Early the next morning, when the housekeeper saw these things Gu Yan was holding, his eyes immediately widened, his mouth opened, and he didn't speak.

The calligraphy and painting are the authentic works of celebrities in the previous dynasty, and they were given by those who befriended Gu Yan at the beginning, but Gu Yan didn't like them, so he put them in the warehouse. He didn't like it, but the butler knew it was worth a lot. There is also the square inkstone, which is also an ancient piece, a Chengni inkstone that has been around for hundreds of years, and he just took it and gave it away.

Well, their generals are not short of this money. The housekeeper also knows his thoughts about the girl of the Bai family, but now that she is about to get married, it is not appropriate for him to give such a big gift.

It's just that, looking at Gu Yan's expression, the housekeeper didn't dare to say these words.

ps: I said that I would add more to everyone, but then I was too sleepy and fell asleep. Then I always felt that there was something on my mind, and I didn't sleep well, and I got up in the middle of the night and added a change to everyone, and finally didn't break my promise. (To be continued.) )
