002: Sister-in-law
"Back to the second master, the uncle is back, and he is in the study of the main hall with the old lady." The housekeeper replied respectfully while leading Gu Che towards the study.
Gu Che took the wet towel at the door and wiped his face and hands, washed off the wind and dust, and then entered the study.
As soon as I reached the front hall, I heard a voice from the inner hall, which was not loud but very strict, "Didn't you say don't come in to serve?" ”
Gu Che glanced back, and the servants had already retreated and closed the door before he spoke, "Mother, it's me." The tone changed from the previous uninhibited to respectful.
The inner hall was quiet again, Gu Che picked up his robe and walked in, and was greeted by Gu Chun wearing a jade crown, Gu Che nodded to him, "Big brother." ”
Gu Chun responded with his head bowed, and Gu Che sat down on the short table on the side, "How is the situation over there?"
Gu Chun didn't take into account Gu Che's words without using honorifics and spoke directly, "General Ye named me Taishi, and the others only said that they were loyal to Da Rui." ”
Taishi is a very high title, in charge of sacrifices, calendars, history and classics. It's just that in such troubled times, this official position is a false title.
Gu Che didn't comment, but gave his hand, "In this way, congratulations to the eldest brother." ”
Gu Chun didn't return anything to this sentence, but spoke, "Brother, ...... over there."
Gu Che thought for a moment before slowly speaking, "The person who came is Ye Huai, it should be the second son of the Ye family." There was only one sentence, and I listened to it and left. ”
Although Gu Che's temper has always been known to Hanoi scholars, it is common for him to get up and leave when he is displeased. But at such a critical time, Gu Che's reaction still made Gu Chun understand that something must have happened," he said. ”
"He said I was like Han Shin." Gu Che spoke, Gu Chun was silent for a while when he heard this, and then he spoke, "Is this what General Ye meant, or is it ......?"
"I don't know." Gu Che replied.
After saying this, he stood up and waved at the old lady who didn't say a word, "Go down and rest first." ”
The old lady looked at Gu Che for a moment, and then raised her hand and waved, "Go ahead." ”
Gu Che didn't say anything more, picked up his robe and walked out again.
That sentence, whether it was General Ye's meaning or Ye Huai's meaning, was not a good word for Gu Che.
The Gu family has only two sons, but the eldest son is a concubine. However, Gu Che and Old Madam Gu knew better in their hearts what kind of character his second son was. Although everyone in the world is watching their second son of the Gu family support this family, Gu Che knows in his heart that he can only be a second son who does not care about the world and is idle and wild.
Just because she is a daughter.
If that sentence is what General Ye Ye means, it is quite simple. Because this shows that Ye Yi wants to win over the Gu family, he just knows that the boss is a concubine, and the Gu family will have to be the second son in the future, so he bypassed Gu Chun and asked Ye Huai to deliver the message.
But if that's what Ye Huai meant, then it's really punishable.
Ye Huai is just a concubine, if he goes out, people who know will say that he is seeking people for his father. If you don't know, I'm afraid that you still think that the two sons of the Gu family are going to split up, and it will be even more difficult to distinguish whether they are assisting Ye Huai.
In such troubled times, the code of ethics is often nothing more than something used by famous people to deceive the world.
Gu Che returned to the room and thought about it for half the night, but he didn't come up with a clue.
Whether it's the world, the Ye family, or even Gu Chun. They all guessed wrong, because they didn't know that Gu Che was their daughter.
Gu Che's psychology is very clear, she seems to have a lot of choices, but in fact she has no choice.
She can only say that she is good at playing the world, and she doesn't care about the world.
On the second day, Gu Che woke up and heard that Gu Chun had gone to the court, and Ye Yi did not leak anything, so he settled down and asked the Son of Heaven to come forward to show orthodoxy.
Gu Che stayed alone in the courtyard for a while, and Gu Xiaoxiao came in again, "Childe ......"
"It's not that I want to be alone for a while." Gu Che directly reprimanded Gu Xiaoxiao, but Gu Xiaoxiao was not afraid, and still walked over with great interest, "The son is a letter sent by the Ye family, saying that he invited the sons to go outing." ”
"Sent by the Ye family?" Gu Che was a little surprised, and raised his hand to take it.
Gu Xiaoxiao looked very happy, "Isn't Childe unhappy, the Ye family was the first to send us here today, I think it's good for Childe to go out." ”
Gu Xiaoxiao only thought that Gu Che was unhappy because Ye Huai had been sluggish before, and the first sentence to be sent was to coax Gu Che. Gu Che was clear but didn't say anything.
I opened the letter and looked at it, and the invitation was three days later. Gu Che thought for a moment and then spoke, "Your son-in-law and I are sick, so it is not suitable to travel." ”
"This ......" Gu Xiaoxiao scratched his head, a little puzzled, but he didn't understand most of Gu Che's work, and he didn't say anything after accepting the letter.
In fact, Gu Che did not feel disgusted and aggrieved about being a daughter but a man for so many years. Even after seeing the governor more and more, she was a little more glad that the eldest brother was responsible for everything outside, and she only needed to put on a name. This kind of life is much happier than being a concubine.
Gu Che was idle until noon when Gu Chun had already returned, since Gu Che's father, Master Gu, died, Mrs. Gu has become less and less mobile, although she is still in charge of the family's mundane affairs, but she rarely sees people.
Gu Che was not surprised to see that his mother was not there, and dined with Gu Chun as before.
After finishing the meal, Gu Chun spoke, "I heard that the Ye family invited me today, why did you say that you were sick?" ”
Gu Che raised his head and looked at Gu Chun, Gu Chun was five years older than her, he was already seventeen years old, even at home, he had a jade crown and vertical hair, and he looked handsome and straight.
Although outsiders have a lot of speculation about the relationship between them because they are older and younger, one is the same as the other. However, Gu Che knew that his eldest brother had no disagreement with him.
In the eyes of the eldest brother, she is the eldest son, but because she is young, she is not yet a minister. Now that he is twelve, it is necessary to know some of the children of the eunuchs.
The secret that Gu Che is daughter can only be brought to the grave, and he can't say much about Gu Chun, so he just frowned at this time, revealing a look of displeasure, "Che doesn't like it." ”
Gu Chun smiled, "In the future, you will be the patriarch, and you can't come by temperament anymore." ”
Gu Che didn't answer, and Gu Chun should be suspicious if he said more.
Gu Che and Gu Chun sat quietly for a while before Gu Che spoke, "What kind of official is Ye Lingfeng?" ”
Gu Chun was stunned for a moment, "You can't call him that outside." ”
"I know it out there." Gu Che responded, and then suddenly remembered that maybe Gu Xiaoxiao learned from her, although there was no place to blame the rules in front of outsiders, when it was only the two of them, he dared to say anything. Thinking of this, Gu Che couldn't help but feel a little headache.
