Under Gu Caiwei's diligent service, Du Junqing ate the food she sent one bite at a time. Even the bowl of osmanthus honey stewed goat's milk he drank not a drop left.

Finally, he put down the empty bowl, wiped his mouth slowly, and then looked at her and said, "This dessert is good, you can make more in the future." ”

Yo, you're ordering so soon?

But for the sake of him helping himself today, Gu Caiwei didn't want to quarrel with him anymore, so she only gritted her teeth and smiled: "Master Hou doesn't know, there are still many desserts that the concubine can make!" You'll get tired of eating this one in less than two days. ”

"Then it's a different one." Du Junqing immediately changed his tune.

Gu Caiwei was about to crush her teeth.

What does it mean to kick your nose and face? What does it mean to give him a little sunshine and he will shine? It's the man in front of you!

She smiled coldly. "Good! When will you help me do something again, and when will the concubine make it for you to eat. I will cook all the delicacies in this Great Zhou Dynasty, and I guarantee that you will not be able to eat them all in your life! ”

Du Junqing's eyes lit up again, and then he bowed his head. "Okay."

You're good to go!

Gu Caiwei directly accepted the dishes and chopsticks. "Now that the Hou Ye has finished eating, the concubine will retire."

He turned around and walked away with the empty food box.

It wasn't until she was far away that Du Ren turned his head to look into the study, and saw Du Junqing still sitting there in a daze, touching his chin with one hand and gently smashing his mouth, looking like he had an endless aftertaste.

The gloomy aura that had surrounded him before had disappeared, but a faint pleasure jumped between his eyebrows.

He has always been moody and invisible, he can directly show his joy on his face, although it is very faint, except for those who have followed Du Junqing for many years, he can't detect it at all, but Du Ren is still shocked when he sees this!

It's over, it's over!

He whispered inwardly. It seems that Hou Ye is really planted in the hands of this little lady!

Hey, it's rare for the Hou Ye to be tempted again, and I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing? They are Mrs. Hou...... Well, now he doesn't even know what words to use to describe him.

I think he has followed Du Junqing for so many years, and he has met all kinds of little ladies, but like their Mrs. Hou, who is neat, bold and simple and rude, he has never met even a few men! However, her temperament is diametrically opposed to Hou Ye's gloom. With her here, Hou Ye's originally depressed world has been lit up, and in the past few days, Hou Ye has experienced joys, sorrows, and sorrows, which is really not an easy task!

"So, that should be a good thing!" Du Ren muttered to himself in a low voice, also closed his mouth, and did not go into the study to break Du Junqing's good mood that was easily brought by Gu Caiwei.

But Gu Caiwei is in a very bad mood now.

Because it was easy to finish serving this big one, when she dragged her tired body back, she saw that Du Yi, the little guy, was already waiting for her there with a broken face.

"You have no conscience! With me, Daddy forgot about me! As soon as he saw her, he angrily shouted accusations.

After speaking, his mouth was deflated, and two bean-sized tears swirled in his eyes, looking pitiful.

Gu Caiwei was originally very angry by his words, but when she saw him with such a sour virtue, she couldn't cry or laugh, threw the food box into Liuli, and she went over to pick up his ear. "It's really three days without opening the roof tile, you little guy has itchy skin again, isn't it?"

"Ahhh Du Yi immediately stopped being angry, and hurriedly jumped to his feet and shouted in pain.

Gu Caiwei didn't let him go, she pinched his ears and twisted them for a while, until her little ears were red, and then she reluctantly let go.

Du Yi hurriedly covered his ears and hid to the side, glanced at her with a pair of tearful eyes, and choked up and complained: "You bully me again!" It's clear that I'm the one who was outcast, why do you still bully me? ”

Gu Caiwei was tired for a long time, and her head was about to explode.

She turned directly to the inside and asked, "I'm going to eat, will you eat?" Don't eat it. ”

Du Yi didn't speak, but the person had already followed in like a small tail.

The rest of the meal was still hot in the pot. Seeing Gu Caiwei coming back, Hongluan and a few people hurriedly brought out the food, and Gu Caiwei sat down with Du Yi to eat silently.

After eating, Gu Caiwei went to bathe. When she came out with her long wet hair, she found that Du Yi hadn't left yet!

"You ......"

"Can I sleep with you again tonight?" Du Yi glanced at her quickly, then lowered his head and asked in a low voice.

Gu Caiwei raised her eyebrows. "What's wrong with you?"

"No, I just want to sleep with you. Otherwise, when I turn seven in the second half of the year, I won't have a chance at all. Du Yi whispered.

Don't look at him so cautiously, in fact, this little guy is the same as his father, since he has decided to do one thing, he will definitely do it to the end! Now he just informed her, and she dared to refuse to try? He's not going to go!

had already figured out his virtues, and Gu Caiwei didn't bother to talk nonsense with him. She was so tired that she just waved her hand. "Whatever you want!"

Then he went to bed and lay down.

When Du Yi heard this, a bright light suddenly bloomed on his little face. Hurriedly went to bathe and came back, and he climbed into Gu Caiwei's bed lightly.

With the experience of the last time, he is now shameless. After getting into the quilt, he crawled directly to Gu Caiwei's side, hugged one of her arms, and pillowed his head on it, so he breathed a comfortable sigh.

Gu Caiwei rubbed his head casually. "Sleep!"

Du Yi couldn't sleep.

"You're so good to my daddy, I'm jealous." He whispered.

Gu Caiwei was so tired that she didn't bother to lift her eyelids up, let alone her lips, so he said his, she slept with her eyes closed.

Du Yi didn't ask for her response, so he continued: "I'm so scared, you and Daddy are good, you won't be good to me alone in the future, right?" I selfishly only want you to be good to me for the rest of your life, but I also know that this idea is unrealistic. But it's one thing to know this truth before, and today I feel so uncomfortable when I see you go to dinner with Daddy. Can you stop going with him in the future? ”

In the end, there was a little crying in his voice.

Gu Caiwei couldn't bear it anymore and pressed the back of his head to bury his little head in his arms. "Hurry up and go to sleep! You little guy, where do you get so much thought? I don't have a future with your father, so don't worry! ”

But hearing her say this, why did Du Yi feel more uncomfortable?

"Actually...... I still hope that you will have a future, preferably for a long time. He couldn't help but mumble again. Otherwise, how could he be with her for so long?

However, it is indeed too bullshitty to talk about the future now. At least now she is still his own, and he needs to hurry up and enjoy this rare good time!

Thinking in his heart, Du Yi hurriedly moved a little closer to her soft body before slowly closing his eyes.

Nothing was said all night. Gu Caiwei had another night's dream, in which she first took the dagger and killed all sides, trampling Zhang Changzong under his feet, he was so frightened that he was so frightened that he was busy begging for mercy. Immediately after the picture jumped, how did it become that she and Du Junqing were fighting in the wild, and the way the two of them fought was also very strange. She grabbed a handful of dirt and threw it at him, he grabbed another handful of dirt and threw it back, and then she threw it again...... In the end, both of them were thrown with dirt all over their bodies......

By the time Gu Caiwei woke up and opened her eyes, the two of them had already become two natives.

"What's going on? How could I have such dreams? Rubbing her head, she couldn't help but scold in a low voice, "It's all caused by the surname Du yesterday!" ”

Du Yi, who was getting dressed underground, was a spirit. "I didn't do anything!"

"I didn't say you, I said you daddy!" Gu Caiwei said angrily.

"Oh, that's it!" Du Yi hurriedly breathed a sigh of relief. Just looking at Gu Caiwei's still angry performance, his eyebrows tightened slightly.

When he saw the two of them appear in the dining room hand in hand, Du Junqing's cold gaze only swept over his son, and then turned his gaze away. "Let's eat!"

Everyone sat down, and there was silence for the rest of the day.

After eating, Du Yi was about to go to morning class. Gu Caiwei was about to go back to the room to catch up on sleep, but saw the housekeeper walk in in a hurry.

"Master Hou, madam, there is another person from Princess Taiping's mansion, saying that she wants to invite Mrs. to come over and talk!"

"Again?" Hearing this, Gu Caiwei couldn't help but chuckle, "Master Hou, you said, is it Princess Taiping herself who came to invite me today?" ”

"It shouldn't be fake." Du Jun Qingdao.

"So, I'm really going for it." Gu Caiwei was very helpless when she heard this.

Du Junqing looked at her. "Ben Hou is with you."

Yes?

Originally, Gu Caiwei just complained casually. But now that she heard Du Junqing take the initiative to speak, she was almost startled!

"Master Hou, I heard you right, right?"

"You heard it right." Du Junqing said, "Yesterday's incident will not be allowed to happen a second time." So when you go out in the future, Ben Hou will accompany you. ”

Gu Caiwei couldn't help but hold her forehead. "Isn't that the case? Obviously, I was fine yesterday, and even without you, I came back safe and sound. ”

"That's just your luck." Du Junqing said coldly, "And after the first failure, do you think he will stop there, instead of intensifying?" ”

Well, he has some point.

Of course, the most important thing is that since this man has already made up his mind, she doesn't expect to convince him to change his mind. Then take him with you, it just so happens that there are many people around her to have more protection, and she can indeed rest assured.

Seeing that Gu Caiwei was no longer arguing with him, Du Junqing immediately ordered someone to prepare the carriage and horses, and traveled with her in a grand manner.

This time they still went to Princess Taiping's courtyard, but they didn't leave the city, just in a square in the east of the city.

Gu Caiwei and Du Junqing got off the car when they arrived at the place, and were led to the inner courtyard, where they saw Princess Taiping lazily lying on a couch placed under a big willow tree, closing her eyes and pretending to sleep.

There are still several good-looking little Langjun around her, but among them, Zhang Changzong, who is known as the Lotus Liulang, is the most dazzling.

Seeing this scene, Du Junqing frowned.

Gu Caiwei was used to it, she only stepped forward to salute.

Princess Taiping did not let her get up as readily as last time, but continued to sleep with her eyes closed for a while before opening her eyes slowly. "Ah, who did I say, it turned out to be Mrs. Changning? Yo, Changning Hou is here too? You've come at a good time, I remember my people have gone out to invite you for an hour! ”

She's just looking for trouble. The distance between her house and the Marquis of Changning's mansion is not short, even if you take a car, it will take about a stick of incense. In addition, there are people on the street in the morning, the road is not easy to walk, Gu Caiwei has to dress up after learning the news, etc., etc., it is very good that they can come over within an hour.

Gu Caiwei directly avoided this topic: "Because you summoned the princess in a hurry, I didn't have time to make pastries, and now I can only come empty-handed." ”

"Do you think that Princess Ben still needs a little bit of your pastry?" When Princess Taiping heard this, her voice was cold again.

Gu Caiwei frowned, and suddenly heard the female official beside Princess Taiping shouting angrily: "Bold maniac, you still don't kneel down for the princess!" ”

Gu Caiwei shook her chest when she heard this, but she didn't kneel, but took the initiative to raise her head and look at Princess Taiping: "Please also ask the princess to make it clear, what did we do to make you angry like this, princess?" ”

Princess Taiping lazily closed her eyes again, and the female official on the side scolded: "What you did yourself, didn't you count in your heart?" Yesterday Rokuro came back from outside in a panic, and last night he had nightmares, and he is still in shock. Mrs. Changninghou, do you dare to say that it is not your fault? ”

Oh, it turned out that Zhang Changzong came to sue a wicked person first, so now the Taiping Duke is going to stand up for his male favorite?

Gu Caiwei looked at Zhang Changzong, who was sitting on the couch and offering his legs to make pillows for Princess Taiping, Zhang Changzong immediately turned his head to meet her eyes, and he also smiled at her, full of murderous anger.

Gu Caiwei tugged at the corners of her mouth again. "I'd love to know how he told you, princess, about this?"

Only then did Princess Taiping speak. "Liulang, since Mrs. Changning wants to hear what you have to say, you can tell her again!"

"Yes." Zhang Changzong nodded hurriedly, and complained in a choked voice, "I saw that you have been depressed and very uncomfortable these days, so I want to go to the temple outside the city to pray for your blessing." As a result, who would have thought that as soon as I rode a horse to a place ten miles outside the city, I met Mrs. Changninghou who was going out. When Mrs. Changning Hou saw that I was alone, she asked me to get into her carriage, saying that she had not seen me for a long time and wanted to catch up with me. I didn't agree, she even let people pull me to her side and force me to comply! If I resisted again, she actually showed her knife, and if I made trouble again, she would scratch my face, so that I would never be able to return to serve you, princess! ”

"But I am the princess's person, and I have only you in my heart. No matter how much she forces me, I'd rather die than give in. So she was so angry that she wanted to ...... me Fortunately, the two guards around me loyally protected the Lord and tried their best to fight them, but in the end, one was killed and one was injured. It was also thanks to them that I barely managed to get out, but, but, but...... As long as I think of yesterday's picture, I am still scared and cold, and I had a nightmare last night! ”

A big man, but crying like a child, is he disgusting?

Although this man is really good-looking, and whether he is pretending to be weak or charming, he has his own charm, and he doesn't look inconsistent at all. However, after hearing his words that reversed black and white, Gu Caiwei was still deeply disgusted.

After Zhang Changzong cried, he wiped his tears and looked at Princess Taiping pitifully: "Please also ask the princess to make decisions for me!" ”

Princess Taiping looked at Gu Caiwei. "Mrs. Changninghou, what else do you have to say about this matter?"

Gu Caiwei pursed her lips. "Princess, you are a smart person, every time I have an attitude towards Zhang Liulangjun before, you have also seen it, and I am not interested in him at all. In that case, why would I take advantage of him when I met him outside? It doesn't make sense. Then not to mention that I don't care about your face, princess, and I want to force him to comply. Just for a man, will I offend you, princess? I'm not impatient anymore! ”

"Not necessarily. Maybe you deliberately pretended not to be interested in him? It's just because you know that he's my pet, so you don't dare to mess around in front of me. But yesterday I was not here, you are alone, you are naturally bold. Princess Taiping said coldly.

Gu Caiwei sneered.

Princess Taiping's eyes darkened. "What are you laughing at?"

"She's laughing, she's not without a man, why should she think about other men?" Du Junqing's voice suddenly sounded. Gu Caiwei didn't look back, she noticed that this man had come to her and stood still.

With him by her side, Gu Caiwei inexplicably settled down.

She nodded hurriedly. "Princess Mingjian. I am not a person without a husband, in my opinion, my husband is far higher than Zhang Liulangjun in terms of appearance, background, and even talent. It's only been a little over a year since we got married, but we've only been together for less than three months. I haven't enjoyed enough of my husband's tenderness, so how can I care about the men outside? Husband, do you say that? ”

Hearing her words, Du Junqing glanced at her before nodding. "Our husband and wife have a very good relationship, and it is impossible for her to do such a thing as going behind Ben Hou's back to find another man."

"Then Changning Hou, you must have been deceived by her!" Seeing this, Zhang Changzong hurriedly shouted, "Your wife, she has been restless in the room. Long before marrying you, she fooled around with her brother-in-law. After marrying you, you went out for a year, and how she got rid of her loneliness during this year, do you know? ”

"Benhou's wife, how can you be a male pet who has the right to evaluate!"

Du Junqing's face immediately sank, and he scolded coldly.

Zhang Changzong was suddenly stunned and immediately shut up.

Du Jun Qingcai turned to Princess Taiping again. "Princess, you are not foolish, and I don't believe you will not understand the truth of yesterday's incident. My wife, a weak woman, was deceived out of the house for no reason, and was taken to the suburbs outside the city. Pity her desperately, and only let one guard die, the culprit did something bad and fled, and our whole house was not at peace for a whole afternoon in order to find her. It's easy for her to return home safely, and we just relaxed for a night, but now your male pet bites back and puts the blame on her? Do you think that with her background and the qualifications of our Changning Marquis Mansion, we dare to do such a thing? Where did we get so much ability to work against the princess's mansion? ”

Hearing this, Princess Taiping's eyebrows twisted and she fell into deep thought.

Zhang Changzong shouted again: "Princess, don't listen to his nonsense!" This Gu is not a weak woman, she and her maidservant, two people can join forces to defeat a man! ”

"You also said that it takes two people to join forces to deal with a man. Yesterday they went out with the master and servant, but you took two guards with you, and borrowed a maid and a coachman from the princess's mansion. There are so many of you, against the two of them, do you think they can beat everyone around you away and snatch you away? Unless they have some formidable weapon in their hands, it's complete nonsense! Du Junqing said loudly again.

"They're just weapons of the gods! That dagger ......," Zhang Changzong said busily.

"A dagger?" Hearing this, Princess Taiping couldn't help but interject, "Liulang, don't you want to say that the two weak women of them relied on a dagger to kill and injure your people, and let you flee in the wilderness?" ”

Zhang Changzong's face turned white, but he still nodded. "Back to the princess, exactly!"

"Huh."

Hearing this, Princess Taiping couldn't help but chuckle several times.

Zhang Changzong's mouth twitched. "Princess, what I said is true, you must believe me!"

"Hey!" Princess Taiping sighed lightly, "Liulang, I have already given you several opportunities, but why don't you cherish them every time?" ”

Zhang Changzong's face changed again when he heard this. "Princess, what do you mean by that?"

Princess Taiping's face was already gloomy at this time, but now her gloomy object was Zhang Changzong, but it was not Gu Caiwei and Du Junqing.

"Liulang, although you haven't been with me for a long time, I already know exactly what kind of character you are. Aren't you just relying on your own good skin, and you can't make all the women in this world fascinated by you? If you can't be fascinated once or twice, you will try your best to tease her until you get her hands on her. You've gone out behind my back many times before, but since you're willing to do it, I'm going to turn a blind eye. But this time, you've gone too far. ”

"Princess, I don't!" Zhang Changzong's mouth trembled, and he shouted injustice in a low voice, but he had no confidence.

Princess Taiping looked at him coldly. "Do you know it in your own heart, Changninghou and his wife know it in their hearts, and I also know it very well in my heart. This incident is that after you hooked up with Mrs. Changning Hou and was beaten up, you deliberately came to me to make false accusations, in a vain attempt to use my hand to teach her a lesson. ”

Speaking of this, not only her face, but also her voice became gloomy. "Usually you rely on my power to be powerful outside, but now you are so bold that you want to make up nonsense to drive me to your use? How daring! ”

Zhang Changzong immediately knelt down with a thud.

"Princess Mingjian, the little one doesn't mean that! Small ......"

"That's what you mean." Princess Taiping said coldly.

Zhang Changzong was speechless for a moment.

Princess Taiping sighed again. "I've been giving you a chance since yesterday, and until just now, I've been waiting for you to say that this is just a joke you made casually, and then the matter will naturally be revealed. As a result, you didn't give up, you wanted to get back face from Mrs. Changning Hou, and tried in vain to provoke me to do something to her! Rokuro, your mind is getting more and more vicious! ”

Zhang Changzong was already trembling with fright at this time, and he couldn't say a complete sentence in his mouth.

Princess Taiping sighed lightly, then waved her hand. "That's it, since I've already talked to this point, I naturally want to give an explanation to Changning Hou and his wife. Come on, take Rokuro down, hit the thirty boards, and demote him to a third-class male pet! ”

"Princess, don't!" As soon as he heard this, the blood on Zhang Changzong's face faded instantly, and he hurriedly raised his head and shouted.

However, Princess Taiping didn't even pay attention to him, and watched people come and drag him away, without even blinking her eyelids.

Soon, Zhang Changzong was beaten and dragged down. Princess Taiping also waved her hand: "Okay, all of you superfluous people should step aside, let me talk to Changning Hou and his wife." ”

Most of the people around him, along with the male pets, retreated, leaving only two female officials to serve by Princess Taiping's side.

Princess Taiping raised her eyes and smiled at Gu Caiwei again. "Isn't that really scared at first?"

"Nope." Gu Caiwei shook her head, "I know that you are not a person who does not distinguish between right and wrong, princess. Especially the crying of a male pet will not make you lose your proportions. ”

Princess Taiping bows her head. "That's nature. There are many good-looking Xiao Langjun in this world, and there is no shortage of him. I used to indulge him, just because he had a sweet mouth and could talk, and he would do things in bed, which really made me happy, so I was naturally willing to give him a little face. It's just that the male pet is just a thing, and I'm willing to spoil him, that's my business, but if he really takes himself seriously, that's not good. Today I'm going to let him know where he is! ”

Gu Caiwei bowed her head. "Thank you, princess."

"This thank you word is not necessary, this matter is also a disaster for you." Princess Taiping said slowly, "And how did I hear that yesterday afternoon, in order to find you, the Marquis of Changning led people to quickly search inside and outside Chang'an City?" ”

When she said this, she had a bit of a teasing taste, and her eyes looked at Gu Caiwei with a smile.

Gu Caiwei nodded helplessly. "Isn't it? At first, I really thought it was a princess, you looking for me! As a result, I found out that something was wrong halfway through, and then Zhang Liulangjun came out. But none of them were beaten, and we quickly drove them away. Then, with the idea that I couldn't run in vain, I went to the house you gave me, princess, and I didn't do anything. But who knew that Master Hou and they had already discovered that something was wrong, and they began to look for me all over the world. If I had known that they were like this, I would not have run around, and I would have hurried back after driving them away. ”

I wanted to see her jokes, but I didn't expect Gu Caiwei to explain the causes and consequences to her so honestly, and her tone was extremely sincere, which made people unable to make a ripple in their hearts.

Princess Taiping looked at Du Junqing, who had closed her lips and was silent. "However, it seems that this is the first time I have seen Changning Hou so anxious! I vaguely remember that seven years ago, you and Lai Guogong had a big fight, and the woman who wanted to marry your childhood sweetheart entered the door, and you were just father and son making a fuss behind closed doors. But this time, you almost made a fuss inside and outside Chang'an City. So, you seem to be more interested in your current wife than the one before you? ”

Du Jun responded lightly. The princess laughed. If the same thing had happened to my first lady, I would have sent all the horses to save her. ”

"Okay!"

mentioned the failure of the flirting again, Princess Taiping suddenly lost her mind to laugh, and then fell on Gu Caiwei again: "Although yesterday's incident was Liulang's fault, but about the cause and effect of that incident, I am very interested in one thing after hearing about it - it seems that you can successfully drive Liulang and them away, is it really thanks to a dagger?" ”

Gu Caiwei's heart sank.

Sure enough, it was careless. Princess Taiping specially called her over today, what is angry for Zhang Changzong, or taking this opportunity to teach Zhang Changzong a lesson and other arguments are all excuses, her real purpose is actually this!

Gu Caiwei hurriedly turned around and exchanged glances with Du Junqing, and saw that Du Junqing was about to speak. But Princess Taiping directly interrupted him: "Marquis Changning, this princess is asking your wife now, you better let her answer me!" ”

Gu Caiwei had no choice but to take out the dagger hidden in her waist. "When my lord was out looking for a famous doctor, he accidentally got a piece of fine iron, and then someone introduced him to a blacksmith with extraordinary skills, and the lord handed over the fine iron to him and entrusted him to make two daggers. Then after returning to Chang'an, in order to express his apologies for my excessive negligence in the past year, Hou Ye gave me this dagger as a gift. There is another handful, which is now on the son. ”

The female officer took the dagger and handed it to Princess Taiping. Princess Taiping took it in her hand and shook it, then pulled out the scabbard, and saw a cold light flash in front of her, but immediately all of them were absorbed by the quaint lines on the dagger.

She stared at the dagger carefully and looked at it, and then gently swiped it on the soft couch at hand, and after hearing a soft sound, the corner of the soft couch was directly cut off by her.

Princess Taiping suddenly gasped. "This dagger is so sharp!"

She hurriedly asked Du Junqing again: "Where did you find that fine iron?" Is there anything else? ”

"Princess Qiyu, fine iron is a rare thing in the world, and it is already a great blessing that I can get a small piece by accident, so how can I hope to get more?" Du Junqing shook his head, "And this fine iron was also given to me by someone else, but I heard him talk about the origin of the fine iron." ”

Then, he told the general situation, and then Gu Caiwei only remembered one place name - Changlai County.

Princess Taiping also caught this information, and she repeated the name in a low voice before returning the dagger to Gu Caiwei. "A gentleman does not take the favor of others. Since this is an apology gift from the Marquis of Changning, then you can accept it alive! It's just that if it's not necessary in the future, it's better not to take it out. This dagger is too sharp, beware of being stolen by others to do bad things. ”

"Thanks for the reminder, princess, I see." Gu Caiwei nodded hurriedly.

Having said this, Princess Taiping couldn't help but yawn, she was tired.

Gu Caiwei and Du Junqing hurriedly got up and said goodbye.

It wasn't until she returned to the Hou Mansion that Gu Caiwei's hanging heart finally let go. She hurriedly patted her chest: "Princess Taiping's mind is really sharp enough!" From so much messy information, she grabbed the existence of this dagger at the first time, and then traced it to the end. Her Majesty's own daughter is really unusual! ”

After finishing speaking, she looked at Du Junqing beside her, and saw that this man was looking unhappy with a cold face.

Of course he would be unhappy.

The iron ore he was carefully holding was exposed because of such an incident, and he was targeted, so it was no wonder that he would be happy!

Gu Caiwei thought about it, and then she asked him in a low voice: "Is the Changlai County you said reliable?" ”

Du Jun cleared his head. "It's a county not far from Yongxing County, and it's true that iron ore has been unearthed all the time, but it's all small mines. If you look for it carefully, you can indeed find some small pieces of fine iron. ”

Hearing him say so surely, he thought that he had expected such a day a long time ago, so he was ready early in the morning.

Gu Caiwei breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good, that's good. It's just that since Princess Taiping has set her sights on that place, the others will definitely follow her and rush there immediately. A small Changlai County is definitely not enough for them to spoil it, so the counties and towns around Changlai County will definitely be found by them one by one. ”

In other words, even if Du Junqing can cover the iron ore on his fiefdom tightly, he can't stand so many powerful people to dig into the bottom of it together! In the long run, it was only a matter of time before that iron ore was discovered.

So......

"We're going to have to find a big backer for this iron mine." Du Junqing said in a deep voice.

Gu Caiwei nodded. "It's also a matter of time. It's just that you've thought about who to take refuge in? ”

Du Junqing looked at her when he heard this. "Who do you think is the best fit?"

"I'm just a native bun from the countryside, and the most powerful person I know in Chang'an City now is Princess Taiping. Otherwise, let's look for her? Gu Caiwei mentioned it casually.

"Nope." Du Junqing refused on the spot.

"Why?" Gu Caiwei was very unconvinced, "You look down on women, don't you?" ”

"It's not that I look down on women, but although Princess Taiping has shown great enthusiasm for political affairs, Her Majesty the Empress clearly has no intention of letting her participate in political affairs, and her influence in the court is not as good as that of the children of the martial arts. She is now the daughter-in-law of the Wu family, do you believe that we will hand over the iron ore to her on the front foot, and the iron ore on the back foot will be taken away by the Wu family and pinched in the palm of the hand? Du Jun said indifferently.

Gu Caiwei pursed her lips. "Then you say, who is the most suitable person to look for?"

"I've thought about it these days, and there is indeed a candidate to consider." Du Junqing said at this time.

The corners of Gu Caiwei's mouth twitched. "Since you've already thought it through, why are you pretending to ask me? What do you mean you? ”

Du Junqing didn't answer her words, but said slowly: "I think about it, now the most respected person in Chang'an City and trusted by Her Majesty the Empress is only Di Ge Lao. Although he was the one who helped Her Majesty ascend the throne at the beginning, the reason why most of the children of the Li Tang royal family have been preserved over the years is also thanks to his protection. He is an upright person who is dedicated to serving the country, and now only he knows that the existence of this iron mine will not give birth to the intention of swallowing it privately. ”

Gu Caiwei's eyes lit up. "You mean, the current Prime Minister Di Renjie Di Ge Lao?"

Du Jun cleared his head. "Exactly."

"This man is indeed credible." Gu Caiwei said in a low voice.

"It's just ......" I immediately heard Du Junqing sigh again, "Di Ge is old and healthy, and his health has become worse and worse in recent years. Now he was sick again, and he was very slow to move. Now he doesn't even go to the court unless necessary, let alone come out to meet people? No matter how many people go to his house to see him now, they may not be able to see him. ”

He sighed in a depressed mood, but Gu Caiwei smiled disapprovingly. "Isn't it just a paralysis? What's the big deal? I can cure it! ”

Du Junqing immediately turned to her. "Are you sure you can cure it? This problem is not easy to treat, and now Her Majesty the Empress has specially sent a doctor to give him acupuncture every day, and the medicinal materials are also selected and sent to him, but it can only ensure that his condition does not deteriorate. ”

"They made sure he didn't get worse, so I was able to make him noticeably better. Even if it can't be cured, at least add a little bit of energy and walk around a lot, and that's fine. Gu Caiwei said with a smile.

Du Junqing's eyes narrowed slightly. "Do you know how much risk you would have to take if you said this in front of Elder Di Ge?"

Gu Caiwei blinked, puzzled.

Du Junqing patiently explained to her: "Di Ge is old, and now the imperial doctors sent by Her Majesty the Empress are also trembling to see him, for fear that once she has a good deal, their lives will be put into it!" It was easy for them to maintain Di Ge Lao's condition in the current stable state, but you jumped out and said that you could cure it better, isn't that a slap in the face of the imperial doctor? And if you, a person who has never practiced medicine, say such a thing, how many people do you think will believe it? Even if they really believe it, it would be best if you were to make Di Ge Lao better, if he didn't get better, let alone you, our entire Hou Mansion would have to bear the wrath of Her Majesty the Empress together, have you ever considered this? ”

Gu Caiwei blinked again. "Are you thinking too much?"

Du Junqing was stunned, and Gu Caiwei said: "I told you a long time ago, I studied dietary therapy, but in fact, it is not the same way as those imperial doctors. Let's go and treat Elder Di Ge, there's no need to say it clearly at the beginning! I'll make something for him first, and he'll eat it first, and he can also take the medicine that the doctor gave him. Since it is for the treatment of the same disease, the general medicinal materials will not be compatible. But as long as he ate slowly, he found that the situation had improved a lot! Naturally, he will find the reason, and then he can take the initiative to come to us! ”

Du Junqing was silent for a long time, only staring at her with a pair of eyes for a long time.

"That's a good idea." Finally, he said something sullenly.

Gu Caiwei nodded proudly. "Of course! I think I used this method to fool a lot of people! ”

The corners of Du Junqing's mouth twitched again. "But Elder Di Ge is not such a fool."

"It's pretty much there!" Gu Caiwei waved her hand disappreciably, "Since I am a patient, I have a way to let him eat what I made, and then take the initiative to come closer to me." By the way, let me think about what he likes to eat...... I see, drink! ”

Thinking of it immediately, Gu Caiwei nodded happily. "I see. I'm going to make a jar of medicinal wine, and I'll think about it for him to drink when I get back! ”

She thought about it with great interest, but she didn't notice that Du Junqing's gaze around her had become a lot deeper.

"How do you know that Di Ge loves to drink?" He asked suddenly.
