Chapter 113: Relationships
Gu Mo glanced at Yun Xiang, and seemed to be smiling, "Zheng Sipin is not a big official in the capital. The old lady of the Lin family is now already a scholar, if you want to find a harder backer, it is better to make more delicious food for Zhao Hui. ”
"He? Isn't he a fifth-grade official? Yun Xiang asked in surprise.
Gu Mo nodded lightly, "Do you know the Chengwang Mansion?" ”
No matter how capable Yun Xiang is, she is just a person. In this era of underdeveloped information, she really has no way to find out the situation in the capital. She is cultivating manpower, but it is unlikely to be of great use in the short term. She asked rhetorically, "How can I, a peasant girl, know those things?" ”
"Heh, you're no ordinary peasant girl." Gu Mo shook his head, "King Cheng is today's cousin, and the relationship is very close. He has two sons and a daughter, and his sister-in-law is Zhao Hui. ”
Yun Xiang was speechless, "Then Zhao Hui is not the prince?" Why did you run away and become a general again? ”
"Your Majesty is very fond of him, so let him mess around." Gu Mo hooked the corners of his mouth, "So I said that if I want to go to the capital, I need to have a good relationship with him." ”
Yun Xiang nodded, "I understand, but that's next year, or even the year after, I'm not in a hurry." "According to the rules, the exam is taken every three years, so Yunxiang is not in a hurry.
"Next year is the tenth year of the emperor's taboo, Your Majesty is a filial person, and it is very likely that there will be amnesty and an increase in Enko." After Gu Mo finished speaking, he said, "It's sunny at night, let's eat barbecue." ”
Yun Xiang was stunned and looked at the back of the dashing departure, this speech is too jumpy, right? Why did you suddenly jump on the barbecue? She thought they would leave after lunch! Don't you have to worry about the county government?
It turns out. The county government really has to take care of it. After lunch, Lord Lin left in a hurry with a group of people, leaving Liu Yunsheng, who had finally come back, to accompany his parents and family. and Gu Mo and Zhao Hui, who must eat barbecue.
"Huh?" Zhao Hui had been living here for many days, but he had never seriously looked at what the pattern was on the shadow wall at the door. He was a very purposeful person. I don't bother to pay attention to anything else. But today, after he sent Master Lin away, he accidentally saw a very familiar pattern. "How did your family carve this?"
Liu Chengshuang replied unintentionally, "This is our family's ancestral home, and we already had it when we moved here." ”
Zhao Hui frowned, and his heart became suspicious. Ordinary people's shadow walls will not use this charming begonia, but ...... The Liu family! There are many people with the surname Liu in this world. He hadn't heard that the Liu family had relatives in this ravine, let alone that the ancestral house would be here.
With something in his heart, Zhao Hui became a little absent-minded. Even eating barbecue at night is not enough to get high. Yun Xiang was surprised to think that her craftsmanship had regressed.
The next day, Zhao Hui proposed to go back to the capital. Gu Mo also felt that he was a little abnormal this time, and looked up and down, "Is this going to turn back the prodigal son?" ”
"Prodigal son, you are big!" He rolled his eyes indecently. "I ask you. Have you investigated this Liu family? Are there any problems with the origin? ”
"Do you think they're spirits?" Gu Mo looked at him funny, "What the hell is wrong, if you have something to say, then hurry up and get on the road!" ”
Zhao Hui glared angrily, "Do you have a friend like you?" Yes? I remembered that the credit for this suppression of bandits has not yet fallen, and I still wait here for the holy decree. ”
"Whatever you want." Gu Mo got up and was about to leave, but Zhao Hui stopped in front of him again.
"I mean really! My people sent me back. There is no use. You can help me investigate the affairs of the Liu family, and finally get the genealogy of their family. ”
"Genealogy?" Gu Mo narrowed his eyes slightly. "What exactly do you want to know?"
Zhao Hui wanted to speak and stopped, "Do you remember the family emblem engraved in my grandmother's house?" ”
"Eguo Mansion?" The Duke of Eguo is not an ordinary duke, he must be a title that has made a significant contribution to the country or is a founding hero.
Gu Mo frowned and pondered, "I remember, it seems to be very different. ”
"That's right, it's a begonia flower." Zhao Hui looked at Gu Mo, "Didn't you notice that the engraved pattern on the shadow wall wall of the Liu family's ancestral house is also a begonia flower?" ”
Although the entrance is a shadow wall, many people's attention is not there. Gu Mo also glanced at it casually, but he never made any other associations with Liu Chengshuang's family. "You mean...... Is Liu Chengshuang's family related to your grandmother's maiden family? Liu Chengshuang! There are really some problems with such a connection. ”
"That's right, Liu Chengying, Liu Chengxiong, even the same generation! My eldest cousin Yunyuan, second cousin Yuncheng! The seniority is also on the same level as Yunxiang! Zhao Hui's heart was very uneasy, "But, how come we have never heard of two tribes in this paralyzed mountain village?" ”
Gu Mo's eyes flashed, "Which family doesn't have a few poor relatives?" Don't think too much about it! ”
"How can I not want more? This is the ancestral home of the Liu family! Then the people who live in the ancestral house today are authentic. Zhao Hui took a deep breath, "I still remember what my grandmother once said. She said that her father, when he was dying, still wanted to go back somewhere to see and see what his parents said was the most beautiful and beautiful place. ”
"It's all old, I'm afraid it's hard to check." Gu Mo shook his head, "If I'm not mistaken, the current Duke of Eguo should be the third generation, and Liu Yunyuan no longer has a title to inherit." To put it bluntly, he is a person who loves Fengyue, he is in his twenties, and he doesn't even have a wife, I think the glory of the Liu family is coming to an end. You don't have to think about it anymore. ”
The title of the Great Xia Dynasty can only be inherited for three generations. Since the first person Eguogong, to the hands of Liu Chengying today, it has been four generations, and that is because His Majesty accepted Liu Chengying's sister Liu Chengshu as a concubine to continue another generation. But in the future, I am afraid that there will be no more such grace. Such a family, without excellent juniors, will soon decline. That Liu Yunyuan is now just a showman's identity, Liu Yuncheng is a little better, and he made an eight-grade pen tip in the Ministry of War, and he still took the relationship of Liu Yupei, the British government.
However, the title of the British Duke has only been passed down for three generations, and the current British Duke Liu Yupei is over sixty years old. His son Liu Chenggong is in his forties and is a soldier of Zhengsanpin, but he is devoted to his cousin, and he has only had a daughter under his knees for many years. Their branch is broken. Even if you want to succeed, you can't find a candidate.
Therefore, even if there is a relative, there is not much difference between recognizing and not recognizing. Besides, this is from counting up I don't know how many generations have broken off contact, and there is no family affection at all.
Now, with Liu Chengshuang's family, he can also have a good future. If it's a real person, it's not necessarily that you will be dragged down by these people. (To be continued......)
