Chapter 100: Knowingly Asking
So Gu Hao really couldn't bear this, Aunt Li didn't know that she didn't know about some small actions before, but how could Gu Hao be able to bear it when she moved at all?
Seeing the fourth prince this time, I have to find a way to convince the fourth prince of Aunt Li's matter, after all, it is better for a tainted mother to disappear early.
When Gu Hao arrived at the agreed place, he didn't see Xiao Yi, the surrounding along the mountain road winds up, it is the depths of the dense forest, a mountain spring flows through the forest ravine, leaving a string of jingling melodies, the evergreen broad-leaved forest on the mountain is the majority, but there are still some trees that have lost their leaves, making the entire mountain forest appear concise and bright, with a strong sense of spatial perspective. Sunlight pours down through the cracks of the branches, reflecting the branches of old trees and the old bark, and it looks like a picturesque photographic work.
"After the new rain in the empty mountain, the weather is late in autumn, the osmanthus flowers fall in leisure, the night is quiet and the spring mountain is empty, the cicada noise forest is more quiet, the birdsong mountain is more secluded, the empty mountain does not see people, but I hear the sound of people's words, I don't know the Xiangji Temple, several miles into the cloud peak, the ancient wood is unmanned, where is the bell in the deep mountains." Gu Hao looked at the scenery around him and couldn't help but think of this sentence in the ancient poem.
At this time, Xiao Yi's voice came from behind him and said: "The prime minister is just like this king thinks, this place is secluded, so this king often likes to come here." ”
"See the prince!" Gu Hao respectfully bowed to Xiao Yi.
"How are the prime ministers doing these days?" Xiao Yi asked a little knowingly.
The matter in the house yesterday was delayed and he didn't see Xiao Yi, Zhong Guo must have already told him the reason, and now he pretended not to know, and the smile on Gu Hao's face twitched twice unconsciously.
In desperation, Gu Hao could only change the topic and said, "Hehe, I don't know what the prince thinks of Xiaguan's previous proposal?" ”
"This king thinks it's very good, but I also know a thing or two about the affairs of your house, and I don't know how the prime minister will deal with that Aunt Li?" Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows, with a cold look on his face, and asked lightly.
Gu Hao was upset by this, he wanted to take the opportunity to ask the fourth prince Xiao Yi, but who knew that he actually took the first step to ask himself, but he made it a little difficult for him to talk about it.
But since the four princes Xiao Yi had already asked, Gu Hao naturally wanted to answer: "This, Xia Guan didn't think about it, after all, she is Yue'er's biological mother, if she really handles it too much, I'm afraid Yue'er will be sad!" ”
"That's true, but if this Aunt Li stays, it will inevitably miss a big event, and a lot of things that happened during this time are because of this Aunt Li, right?" Xiao Yi asked rhetorically, his eyes lit up, looking at the lake not far away and not knowing what to think again.
Gu Hao had the courage to guess that Xiao Yi didn't want to keep Aunt Li, so he said cautiously: "Since you can't be convicted and you can't embarrass Yue'er, if something happens and you die, it's not something that the lower officials can control, right?" ”
"It's good for the prime minister to decide by himself, but today this king asked the prime minister to come out, and this is not the only thing." Xiao Yi paused again when he said this, and looked at Gu Hao without further speaking.
Gu Hao was curious, so he said inquiringly: "I hope the prince will make it clear!" ”
"Gu Muyan and the father of this king asked for a holy decree, the freedom to marry, can the prime minister know about this matter?" Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows and asked, what he was interested in was not Gu Xiyue, who didn't understand anything, but Gu Muyan, if he had Gu Muyan's help, he would be able to win the throne!
Xiao Yi should have seen this matter clearly before, after all, although this Gu Hao is the prime minister, but the most influential in the DPRK and China is Taifu, and now although this Gu Hao has a central servant, this is far less than the people around Taifu.
So the only way is to marry Gu Muyan, so that the Prime Minister's Mansion can also stand here with him, and the Taifu Mansion is also in his pocket!
However, doing this by himself will inevitably arouse the suspicion of Jinshang, and the best thing is to let Gu Muyan want to marry him, so that his father has nothing to say.
Gu Hao recalled it carefully, and then said as if he remembered this matter: "There is indeed such a thing, but Yan'er is obedient on weekdays, and if you want to make a major marriage event, you will still let the lower officials call the shots!" ”
"Not necessarily." Xiao Yi shook his head and said, "This king looks at Gu Muyan's temper very stubbornly, he may not be obedient in everything, right?" ”
"This can't help her, it has always been the words of the matchmaker at the behest of her parents, and she can't allow him to be presumptuous!" Gu Hao finally grabbed Xiao Yi's thigh, how could he let go easily?
"It depends on your ability!" Xiao Yi also believed a little when he saw Gu Hao packing the ticket like this, and then he didn't mention this matter.
If Gu Hao wants to gain Xiao Yi's trust, he naturally wants to reveal some information about his family, so Gu Hao is also the first time to talk about his relationship with the army.
General Chen and Gu Hao, who are now in the capital, have a great friendship, and since the last time they gave General Chen a painting of Li Dashi, the relationship between the two is even better than before.
And these are all unknown to others, although General Chen is now in the capital, but the power at the border pass is also extraordinary, if he is allowed to return to the army, his influence will not be much worse than Cheng Qi.
It can be seen that the weight of this general Cheng in the army is also very large, almost all the veterans have to sell him a few thin noodles, and even Cheng Qi may not dare to face him head-on.
Gu Hao concealed this matter very well, so when Gu Hao explained, even Xiao Yi was surprised for a long time, originally thought that Gu Hao was just a useless prime minister, just an ornament, but now he felt that this prime minister had his own reasons in this position for so many years.
Otherwise, how could he sit firmly in the position of prime minister for so many years for no reason?
"The prime minister can rest assured, if one day the king of Japan can step on the throne, the prime minister will be the founder of the country, and the prime minister will be indispensable when the time comes." Xiao Yat was full of words.
Gu Hao, who had been suppressed by Taifu for so many years, seemed to have regained his clarity all of a sudden, and it seemed that there was a ladder made of pure gold in front of him, which attracted Gu Hao and caused Gu Hao to want to go up step by step.
After Gu Hao thanked him, the two separated, after all, the matter was negotiated, and there was no need to stay in the deep mountains and old forests.
Although the scenery in the forest looks pleasant, in their eyes, it is not as high as the temple.
Such an ordinary life is unimaginable and unacceptable for people like them who want to reach the height of the temple, if one day they will fall off the altar, then they must be willing to die in that position rather than survive!
"Have you collected Master Li's paintings?" Gu Hao returned to the mansion and called the little guy who managed Gu Hao's warehouse on weekdays over and asked.
The little guy nodded but shook his head and said, "If you go back to Xiangye, you have found a pair here, but the price is really high, and the villain can't pay attention to it." ”
"Oh? How much money is it that you make such a fuss? Gu Hao saw that the little guy was still a little worried, so he didn't get angry.
The little guy lowered his head, and the sweat on his head slipped a little: "There are still 20,000 taels left..."
"Twenty thousand taels? What kind of painting is that, exactly? Gu Hao asked in disbelief when he heard it.
"Xiangye will know when he goes to see it, it is in the Tianpin Pavilion in the south of the city!" The little guy explained to Gu Hao, if he was forced to explain, he really couldn't explain anything.
However, Gu Haozhi did not take out a must-buy momentum, but took Zhong Guo to Tianpin Pavilion to take a closer look.
The painting looked like it was just a picture depicting the market, Gu Hao didn't feel much different, and when he was sighing about the price of this painting, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted: "This painting can move by itself!" ”
"How is this possible?"
Everyone replied in disbelief, but Gu Hao glanced at it again, and the greeting procession in the painting gradually poured into the market, and the artists in front of them immediately sang and danced, attracting the people who were originally surrounding the vendors, and it was very lively, but at such a lively time, the tea friends in the teahouse also set their eyes on the artists on the street, and at this time, they were also brewing things that made them stunned.
Even the wonderful performance of a shirtless and skilled acrobat next to him was ignored, and the people in the teahouse turned their heads to look at the other side not far away, only to see that there was a carriage speeding uncontrollably on the street, and at this time a child was running in the direction of the carriage not far away, and a dangerous situation was about to happen in front of him!
At this critical moment, the driver next to the car wanted to run forward and pick up the child, but how could a person run so fast? Then another coachman stepped forward and grabbed the reins of the carriage, and a tragedy was averted, and the people sighed.
The coachman stretched out his hand to pull the reins and saved a life-and-death danger is the stroke of genius for this painting!
It's no wonder that some people say that this painting can move on its own, and such a vivid painting is really rare in the world, and it is no wonder that it will be bought at such a high price.
On the way back, Gu Hao's mind was full of that painting, if he could get this painting, the relationship between General Chen and himself would definitely go further, after all, it was because of the painting given by Gu Muyan that General Cheng was impressed by him.
"Yan'er, the painting that made a lot of noise in the market was really painted by you?" Old Lady Fu has also heard the people around her mention it, that vivid action and expression are really unimaginable, no wonder Old Lady Fu asked Gu Muyan in surprise.
"My grandfather said yes, there are only three of them now, one is in Tianpin Pavilion, one is in Yan'er's warehouse, and one is in Yan'er's mind!" Gu Muyan said mischievously, and after speaking, he smashed his eyes at Old Lady Fu.
"You kid, you're hiding in front of your grandfather!" Old Lady Fu snorted lightly and said dissatisfied.
