Chapter 134: Asking for Help and Taking the Initiative to Help
Du Junqing was kicked and staggered, and he quickly changed his words: "Madam, I was wrong, I will never mention this matter again in the future." Let's go with the flow and listen to God, okay? ”
Gu Caiwei pursed her lips. "You'd better stop scheming against me here."
"Rest assured, in this regard, I will definitely not use any means." Du Junqing whispered, and slowly turned back to take her hand.
Gu Caiwei glared at him again, but after all, she didn't attack him again.
Du Junqing hugged her naturally.
After that, Du Junqing carefully studied the information of the Du family's children sent by Du Junze, and he first selected twenty people from them and asked them to send them to Yongxing County.
Twenty places came at once, and now each room can be divided into several, the people in the Lai Guo Mansion are finally happy, and the Lai Guo Duchess Pei Shi is no longer scolding, and Lai Guo Du Junze is much more comfortable in his heart.
There was also a shortage of people in the mine, so as soon as the people were sent over, they were entrusted with important tasks, which made this group of pampered little gentlemen miserable. Many people can't stand to write letters to their families to complain. But Du Jun made it clear to Du Junze early in the morning - if the person is sent to Yongxing County, it will be at his disposal, and no one is allowed to interfere. Therefore, even if Du Junze received the letter, he ruthlessly discarded it directly, and let them wail over there.
Seeing that the family didn't care about it at all, the children of the Du family slowly gave up and went to work honestly.
Seeing this, Du Junqing selected a group of twenty people from the roster and sent them over again. And this time, the children of the Du family went with the children of the Fang family, as well as the people recommended by Qin Shisan.
The continuous sending of so many young children can be regarded as a temporary solution to the urgent shortage of talents in Yongxing County.
But......
"There are still too few specialized talents." Du Junqing shook his head and sighed, "I didn't expect that things would develop to this situation all of a sudden, the king of Xin'an County is so uncompetitive, and all the beams are waiting for me to pick." But I'm not in Yongxing County, so I can only command them remotely. I can't see the situation over there, and I can't figure out how the person behaves after sending it over, so I can only have a general understanding of the situation through the letter sent back by Qin Sixteen, which always makes me feel that I have more than enough heart and not enough strength. ”
"It's all because of me." Gu Caiwei sighed, "If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have stayed here all the time, and you haven't looked over there for more than a year." Otherwise...... Go on your own! The little lady and I stayed here, with Daddy and Auntie with me, we must be fine. ”
The empress still didn't give up the idea of borrowing the corpse to resurrect her soul, so she kept sending people to keep an eye on her. Until she finds the right way, the Empress will certainly not let her go.
After all, the empress just let her grandfather leave Chang'an, and then the high divine doctor never returned, leaving only a tomb now. has already learned a lesson, and this time the empress will naturally not be stupid enough to pit herself for decades. What's more, at her current age, she can't afford it.
Princess Taiping invited them to Luoyang a few years ago, in fact, it was also to facilitate the empress to continue to monitor them closely.
"No, I can't. Who knows if Sima Huan is lurking in the shadows, just waiting for me to leave on the front foot, and he will take you away on the back foot? Du Junqing shook his head resolutely, "I don't have much ability now, and accompanying you may not be able to completely protect you, so it is even more impossible for me to leave you alone." ”
Gu Caiwei looked at him speechlessly. "Can't you let go of me, or can't you let go of the little lady?"
Du Junqing's eyes flickered. "I can't put it down, can't I?"
Gu Caiwei turned her head and couldn't help but roll her eyes.
At this time, Du Ren suddenly appeared.
"Master Hou, there is another letter from Yongxing County, and it is said that the situation is urgent, please take a quick look!"
Hearing this, Du Junqing and Gu Caiwei both tightened their hearts.
"Bring me the letter!" Du Junqing immediately said.
Du Ren sent the letter in. Du Junqing opened it and looked at it, and his face suddenly turned cold. "Sure enough, I said that the surname Wu is so radical, there will definitely be an incident!"
Gu Caiwei hurriedly took the letter and looked at it, and she frowned instantly. "Are they crazy? In order to rush the work, I didn't care about anything else, and the wastewater from the pig iron was poured out directly after treatment, and the downstream rivers were polluted! ”
And coincidentally, Yongxing County is downstream of Yangxin County!
Water sources in the mountains are already limited, and a large amount of water is needed every day to make pig iron from iron ore. As a result, the water source is now contaminated...... How can the craftsmen in Yongxing County continue to work?
Moreover, once the water source is polluted, the water below and the places where the polluted water flows will also be polluted. If this goes on for a long time, it will not only be as simple as delaying the speed of Yongxing County's production of weapons. Soon, the lives of the people in Yangxin County and Yongxing County will also be greatly implicated!
Du Junqing's face was gloomy, and he sat there coldly without saying a word.
Seeing this, Du Ren whispered: "Master Hou, this matter is very serious, and we must not sit idly by." Let's think about it! ”
"What can I do?" Du Junqing asked coldly.
Du Ren choked.
It is absolutely impossible to directly discharge the wastewater from iron training without Wu Chonglie's permission. Perhaps, this is Wu Chonglie's purpose - I will make you famous, and I will ask you to have a good relationship with those who are in charge of the army, then I will directly cut off your back road and draw salary from the bottom of the kettle! Without the weapons to be available to those people, I see how much better you can get!
Now that Wu Chonglie is in Luoyang, and there is the support of the martial arts family behind him, they want to catch him and make him change his mind, it is not an easy task. Accidentality can even lead to disaster.
Gu Caiwei thought about it, and she nodded. "The best way right now is for you to go to Yongxing County. It's useless to talk here, it's just a waste of time. With this kung fu, let's just kill the past and solve the matter first! ”
As for what the samurai family will react to when they know the situation, then we will talk about it then.
When Du Junqing heard this, he immediately looked at her. "You're leaving me alone?"
"No! I'll go with you, and the little lady, let's go over together. Gu Caiwei immediately said, "Speaking of which, Ah Yi hasn't seen the little lady yet!" Every time he wrote to me, he yelled to see Ah Mei, but unfortunately Brother Fang refused to let him come back. Then take advantage of this opportunity to take the little lady to meet him. ”
Du Junqing frowned slightly. "But can you go?"
"If you really want to go, of course you can. It's just a matter of begging for someone in a low voice. Gu Caiwei sighed.
Du Junqing's eyes darkened. "Are you going to see Princess Taiping? Then when you meet the princess, whatever she asks, you just have to say yes, don't hesitate. ”
"That's all there is to it now." Gu Caiwei sighed helplessly.
Since it has been decided, Gu Caiwei sent a message to Princess Taiping that day. In the evening, Princess Taiping replied to her.
The next day, Gu Caiwei packed up and went to Princess Taiping's mansion.
It's only been two years, and the beautiful boys around Princess Taiping have changed, only Princess Taiping who is lying on the couch in the middle still looks comfortable and enjoying the diligent service of these little gentlemen.
Today is a private meeting between the two of them, so there are no outsiders in front of them except Gu Caiwei and Princess Taiping, as well as these little Langjun.
Gu Caiwei stepped forward to salute, and Princess Taiping waved her hand. "It's all your own people, so you don't have to be so polite, sit down!"
Gu Caiwei sat down opposite, and she looked at the people next to her. "Princess, I have something important to discuss with you, won't you let them all step down first?"
"Stand down and do what? They are all my people, naturally they are all of the same heart as me, and I don't have any secrets that I can't let them know. Princess Taiping smiled and said, "Anyway, they are my people in life and my ghosts in death, and I will not send people out in the future, especially - I will not send them to the palace again." ”
Although she smiled happily, a trace of coldness quickly flashed in her eyes.
Gu Caiwei naturally understood what she meant: Princess Taiping gave Zhang Changzong to the empress before, and she was pleasing the empress for a while. However, who would have thought that after Zhang Changzong took his brother Zhang Yizhi to get the empress's favor, he began to be complacent, and even Princess Taiping was not very respectful! I said before that I would help her say good things in the empress's ear and reveal a little news about the empress to her when necessary, so I naturally didn't do that. The two brothers took their relatives to sell their official positions in the court, form a party for personal gain, and had a lot of fun. Even, even the people of the Li family's martial arts family, they are almost out of sight!
The person she sent to now stand on top of her head and and pee, which is tantamount to a slap in the face of Princess Taiping. Although no one else said anything in front of her, how could she not know what others were saying about her in private? Of course, Princess Taiping herself is also very unhappy.
So now, she is strict with the male pets around her, and no longer gives people to the empress.
I think that when I learned that Princess Taiping gave Zhang Changzong to the empress, I also persuaded her not to do this! People like Zhang Changzong have a good-looking face, but in fact, they don't have any ink on their chests, and their brains say they are shrewd, but they often don't have shrewdness to the point. He is suitable for being a male pet in a low voice, and it is enough to serve the hostess in a good voice. But how did Princess Taiping react when she heard her words? Gu Caiwei sighed in her heart.
After all, the princess is still too confident, which will lead to the current ending.
It's just that Gu Caiwei can only whisper a few words in her heart, but she doesn't dare to touch Princess Taiping's moldy head, but now she comes to the door for help!
Therefore, since Princess Taiping has already said so, Gu Caiwei also spoke directly: "The princess and I are also old acquaintances, so I won't talk nonsense." I'm here to see you today to ask you for a favor. ”
"Let me go to the Empress to speak for you, and let the Empress let you go, right?" Princess Taiping opened her mouth coolly.
Gu Caiwei nodded. "Yes. At the moment, no one can do this except you, the princess. ”
"You're a smart man." Princess Taiping chuckled, "It's just that why should I help you?" Why does the mother queen want to stay by your side to watch, others don't know the reason, but you and I know it. But until now, the people of Qin Tianjian haven't found out why they came out, how could the mother mother agree to let you go? ”
"It's because I've been studying for more than a year, and Qin Tianjian hasn't figured out the reason yet, so it's enough to prove that the crux of the problem is not me, but the person who is manipulating this matter. I have cooperated with everything I can, but according to this situation, will Qin Tianjian not be able to find a way for the rest of my life, and I will be trapped here for the rest of my life? Gu Caiwei also smiled, "Princess, you should know that with my identity, I want to leave just a matter of moving my feet." But I never left, it was just to save some face for Her Majesty, and I didn't want to make things so unpleasant like my grandfather. Moreover, I am not my grandfather, I have a family and a daughter, and my husband is still in an important position in the court, so I can't run if I want to! ”
"I understand this, but do you think the Empress will listen?" Princess Taiping only said.
Gu Caiwei pursed her lips. "She won't, so I've come to beg you, princess."
Princess Taiping smiled again. "Well, we've known each other for so long, and you've never asked me for anything. Now that you've come to ask for it, it seems too much to say if I don't express it. So be it, I can go to the Mother and intercede for you, but in return, you have to do something for me. ”
"Princess, please do not hesitate to command!" Gu Caiwei immediately nodded.
Princess Taiping smiled again when she saw this. "Before I even said what I wanted you to do, you already agreed? Promise so quickly, aren't you afraid that I'm planning to let you kill people and set fires? ”
"Princess, you're not such a person." Gu Caiwei shook her head.
Princess Taiping suddenly burst out laughing. "You, you, you look honest every time, and what you say is plain and not a little fancy, but why do I sound so useful? You say, did you study me on purpose? ”
"Of course. Since I want to please you, princess, how can I not study your preferences? Gu Caiwei nodded briskly.
Princess Taiping immediately laughed.
"Okay, I just like your cool temperament!" She smiled and clapped her hands, "Well, I won't beat around the bush with you, my request is - I want your swordsmith to build a set of weapons for me." ”
As she spoke, she beckoned to the maid in front of the couch, who hurriedly picked up a palm-sized booklet and handed it over.
Gu Caiwei took the booklet and looked at it, and her face suddenly turned pale.
"Princess, you ......"
"Why, can't it be done?" I don't know when, Princess Taiping has changed her face and is looking at her coldly.
"Nope." Gu Caiwei hurriedly shook her head, "We can do it." It's just that there are so many things, and there is still a lot of time for the original iron stone needed, so please be patient and don't worry, princess. ”
"You really agreed?" Hearing her say this, Princess Taiping was surprised.
Gu Caiwei nodded. "Princess, you care about Datang, I believe that even if you take these things, you will not do anything harmful. These are tough times, and you really need a little bit of self-protection. ”
Princess Taiping blinked, then curled the corners of her lips. "You're quite right. Now the mother emperor favors Zhang Changzong, Zhang Yi's brother, and regards Wu Sansi as his own, but the seventh brother, they and I are like a motherless child, lonely, I don't know when I will lose my life. Now, we have to seize every possible opportunity to protect ourselves. ”
Gu Caiwei bowed. "So, we can help you do what is in the booklet. It's just that how to transport things away after they are done, and how to hide them, is your business, princess. ”
"Don't worry, I've already arranged it." Princess Taiping said slowly.
Gu Caiwei also nodded. "In that case, then we will settle this matter."
"yes, it's decided." Princess Taiping waved her hand again, "Okay, that's all the time, you can go." Hurry back and pack your luggage, and the princess will enter the palace tomorrow to persuade the mother. ”
"Thank you, princess!" Gu Caiwei hurriedly made a big salute and hurriedly retreated.
However, as soon as she walked out of Princess Taiping's courtyard, Gu Caiwei saw a person walking towards her.
She couldn't help beating two beats faster, and hurriedly bowed her head and saluted: "I've seen the horse." ”
When Wu Youji saw Gu Caiwei appear in front of him, he had already guessed what was going on.
"Mrs. Changning Hou is exempt." He said quietly.
Before Gu Caiwei got up, she avoided Wu Youji and wanted to walk forward.
But the moment she raised her foot, she heard Wu Youji say: "The matter of the water source...... I'm sorry. ”
Gu Caiwei put her foot back again.
"What are you talking about, colt? Although you are a member of the Wu family, you have never been very involved in the affairs of the Wu family, especially the mines in Yangxin County are beyond your reach. Moreover, the last time you bowed to us on behalf of the martial family, you must have annoyed a lot of people, so this time they must also be acting behind your back, so they have no intention of letting you interfere again. In that case, what do we have to blame you? ”
She spoke frankly, but Wu Youji had a fever on her face.
Gu Caiwei saw this scene in her eyes, and she couldn't help but laugh - it's really rare, there are still people in the martial arts family who want to have face!
But immediately, she heard Wu Youji say again: "I really can't do anything about this matter. ”
Gu Caiwei pursed her lips, she couldn't help but want to say a few cool words, but Wu Youji said again: "However, if you really go to Yangxin County to make trouble again, I can still help you resist for a while." ”
Gu Caiwei raised her eyebrows. "Aren't you afraid that you will continue to be like this towards us and be scolded as a traitor by the Wu family?"
Wu Youji smiled lightly. "I've long been a traitor in their eyes."
As he spoke, he slowly turned his head and looked at the courtyard of Princess Taiping in front of him.
His eyes were deep and dark, but there was a touch of helpless attachment in his eyes, just like a person who didn't dare to reach out to touch his sweetheart when he saw him close in front of him.
She lowered her head slowly. "In that case, then I'll thank the colt first."
Wu Yu waved his hand. "No thanks. You can help Taiping achieve her wish, this is just a little reward I gave you on her behalf, not enough to worry about. ”
Gu Caiwei also nodded, and then bowed to him and said goodbye.
At noon the next day, Princess Taiping sent someone over to deliver the news that the empress had agreed to her leaving Luoyang. However, except for Yongxing County, Gu Caiwei is not allowed to go anywhere else. And within a year, she must come back!
Gu Caiwei didn't expect the empress to really let her go completely. So now she has a year to breathe, and she is already satisfied.
The salute for going out has been packed, and now when they have the permission of the Empress, they will get into the car and set off!
This time, Qi and Gu Chengfeng went on the road with them.
In Qi's words: "You aunt is not competent at all. You haven't hugged your daughter a few times, and you only hug and tease your child a few times every time when she doesn't cry, and you especially take pleasure in watching your child make a fool of yourself. How can I rest assured that I will hand over the little lady to you and take it away? No, I have to go with you, lest you bully my granddaughter while I'm away!" ”
Gu Caiwei listened anxiously and angrily. "Auntie, don't think I don't know, you did the same to me when I was a child! My grandfather told me everything! ”
"So what? Anyway, now to my granddaughter, you can't do that! Qi roared confidently.
Gu Caiwei suddenly lost her temper.
In their family, A-Niang has always been the biggest, and she ranks second. Although she is now married, when facing A-Niang, she will still take the initiative to put A-Niang in front.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Qi Shi hugged the little lady over again and teased her carefully.
The little lady leaned on her grandmother's arms and grinned at her.
This little one has no conscience! Gu Caiwei couldn't help but secretly scolded several times in her heart.
The conversation between their mother and daughter spread outside, and Gu Chengfeng, who was riding a horse, smiled helplessly.
"Ah Wei and her mother have been used to her grandfather since she was a child, and she has been cared for by me since she married me, so she has developed such a delicate temperament. Now that she's this age, she can't change her temperament. ”
"Mother-in-law is very good, no need to change." Du Junqing slowly spoke, "Ah Wei is actually the same as her, she is a knife-mouthed tofu heart. And the reason why my mother-in-law is like this shows that she is in a good mood and has always been loved. I just hope that in a few decades, she will be as energetic as her mother-in-law. ”
"Don't worry! Ah Wei and her aunt are like carved out of a mold. As long as you treat her well, she will be like a little sun, and she will be able to shine you warm all her life all her life. Gu Chengfeng said.
Du Junqing suddenly hooked the corners of his lips slightly. "That's good."
Gu Chengfeng took this scene into his eyes, and he also laughed happily.
They walked very fast along the way, the little lady had her grandmother and A-Niang to play with, and she was not squeamish, so everyone walked for two months and arrived in Yongxing County.
As soon as he arrived at the Hou Mansion, the carriage had just stopped, and a figure jumped out from the side.
With such a tall figure, the shadow cast down scared Gu Caiwei for a moment, and she hurriedly hugged the little lady and took a few steps back.
"Auntie, it's me! I'm here to pick you up, and I'm coming to see my little sister! ”
A slightly familiar voice immediately came, Gu Caiwei raised her eyes to a pair of familiar eyes, and she immediately recognized the identity of the person who came: "Ah Yi? ”
"Auntie, it's me!" Du Yi nodded hurriedly, and hurriedly came to her again, "It's only been a long time, you don't know me again!" ”
The corners of Gu Caiwei's mouth twitched.
The last time we met, Du Yi changed amazingly. But this time we met again after more than a year, and Du Yi's changes are not only amazing, but can be reborn!
The little one, who was only ten years old, was so tall that the top of his head was already as high as her shoulders. The previous thin body was completely gone, replaced by long arms and legs, and whether it was shoulders, back, or chest, the mass of flesh there could not even cover the cloth.
His face has also darkened a lot, and his facial lines have become a lot sharper, and he can't see the soft appearance before. There is not much change in a pair of black and white eyes, and Gu Caiwei has completely identified his identity through these eyes.
It seems that the effect of the young master's marrow washing pill is really strong. A pill of medicine went down, and it simply made Du Yi have been reborn. She asked herself that even if she cooked food for Du Yi for ten years, it would be impossible for him to eat like this.
She is still too young, and there are so many things to learn and improve.
And not to mention Gu Caiwei, Du Junqing also carefully identified it for a while before he decided that the person in front of him was indeed his son.
Only then did he step forward and pat Du Yi on the shoulder. "Yes, it seems that you have adapted well here in the past two years, and your body has grown much stronger. Seeing you like this, your aunt and I are also at ease. ”
Du Yi immediately grinned. "Daddy and Auntie, just rest assured, I'm doing well here. During the day, I followed the master to make iron, and at night before going to bed, the master had to spare an hour to teach me to practice, and my body was indeed getting better and better, and even my little uncle couldn't beat me several times! ”
"But ......" After finishing speaking, he looked at the little lady in Gu Caiwei's arms again, "Let's not talk about the rest, you guys give me a hug!" I haven't hugged her yet! ”
Gu Caiwei shook her head helplessly, and handed over the little lady in her arms to him. Du Yi suddenly hugged the little lady like a baby, and grinned at her again: "Sister, do you remember Brother?" Since you were born, my brother has written you a letter every half a month, and I have also made up a lot of grasshoppers and grasshoppers for you to send back for you to play, do you remember? ”
Being held in the arms of this stranger, the little lady was not afraid, but also grinned at him with a happy face, and then the two little fat hands immediately stretched out and pinched his face.
Du Yi suddenly screamed in pain.
"Well deserved!" Gu Tianyuan watched from the sidelines, and he couldn't help but stick out his tongue gloatingly.
In the past two years, Du Yi has changed a lot, and of course his is not small. The little guy has also grown taller, his body is much stronger, and his arms and legs are very powerful at a glance.
Qi Shi and Gu Chengfeng looked at him like this, and both of them were full of emotion.
Qi Shi hurriedly pulled Gu Tianyuan to his side, and asked for a long time.
After Gu Tianyuan finished answering one by one, he ran to Du Yi's side again. "You've been playing with my niece for a long time, it's time to give her to me!"
Du Yi was reluctant. Although his cheeks were pinched by Ah Mei, he couldn't help but giggle when he saw such a round and lovely little Ah Mei smiling so heartlessly in front of him.
Gu Tianyuan saw that he didn't let go, so he simply did it himself and snatched the little lady over.
Du Yi wanted to snatch it back again, Gu Tianyuan hurriedly hugged the little lady and ran away, still shouting: "You just let me hold it for a while." We're running out of time! ”
These words inexplicably made Gu Caiwei raise her eyebrows. "What do you mean by that? What do you mean time is running out? ”
The two little guys immediately turned white, and their eyes began to shake.
Gu Caiwei's heart sank.
Du Junqing spoke: "No need to ask, the two of them must have secretly run out of the mine." ”
"Brother-in-law, why do you just say this!" Gu Tianyuan suddenly didn't even have the heart to play with his little niece.
"Really?" Gu Caiwei also sank her face, "Ah Yuan, Ah Yi, what are you doing here?" We've all been here, and we're going to see you soon, so why are you doing that? ”
"But we just want to see Little Sister as soon as possible! And Daddy and Auntie, we want to kill you too! Du Yi hung his head, which looked a bit like when he was a child.
Gu Tianyuan nodded hurriedly. "Anyway, it's just a sneak out, and it's a big deal to be taught a lesson by the master when I go back, it's not a big deal. We have survived such difficult days before, and now we can bear this lesson! ”
"That's it!" Du Yi also nodded.
Then, the two people who were still making trouble just now quickly reached an agreement and got together to tease the little lady!
These two little guys, now that they have practiced their strength, it is time to be full of energy. So they hugged the little lady, that is, they ran crazy in the backyard, and jumped up and down with the little lady, which made the little lady laugh non-stop. It's only been half a day, and she already likes this brother and uncle, and she doesn't even want her grandmother!
Because of this, Qi's face collapsed for a long time.
Gu Caiwei watched the Qi family eat and raise, and she snickered for a long time.
However, the carnival of a few little ones lasted for half a day. In the afternoon, Fufengzi and Ou Shenzi had already come over with great momentum.
Du Yi and Gu Tianyuan, who had sneaked out of the Hou Mansion, didn't say a word, one of them grabbed the ear of a little guy and dragged the person away directly.
Then, the Hou Mansion was considered to be clean.
The little lady cried fiercely when her brother and brother-in-law left. But when she was tired of crying, she fell asleep, lying on her little bed like a little pig, and the great movement outside could not wake her.
While the children were playing, Gu Caiwei had already instructed people to take out the luggage and put it away.
After a brief wash, we cleaned up our house, and after a good rest, we planned to go to the mine tomorrow to check on the situation.
But in the evening, another letter was delivered to Gu Caiwei.
That's right, it's for Gu Caiwei.
Gu Caiwei took it and looked at it suspiciously, she blinked, and then smiled.
"The princess really has a heart." She whispered.
"Is it Princess Taiping?" Du Junqing hurriedly asked.
Gu Caiwei nodded. The princess said in the letter that she was not good at managing iron mines, and that the small mine in Changlai County had been messed up by her. Now that we are here, Changlai County is not far from Yongxing County, so she will hand over this small mine to us to manage. And those people in the mine have also been entrusted to us, whatever we want! ”
After a pause, she said, "The princess also said that if we have enough people and don't need them, then it's okay to keep people around as guards." ”
After speaking, she and Du Junqing glanced at each other, and a smile appeared in the eyes of both of them-
Princess Taiping's meaning is clearly to let them borrow her manpower to deal with the king of Xin'an County. In this way, even if the matter is really big, Wu Chonglie will also look at Princess Taiping's face, and he will not dare to jump too much.
Princess Taiping, this is helping them!
