Chapter 081: The Man Chosen by Di Ge Lao
Although he was very happy to leave his son, when he saw Gu Tianyuan, who was walking back happily with Du Yi and Gu Tianci, Gu Chengyuan's eyes were still cold again.
"Second lady, are you too good to Jiulang?" He asked coldly, "After all, he is a child in the second room, and now that no one in the second room is gone, you just keep him." If he has three longs and two shorts, have you thought about how to explain to your second uncle and them? β
Yo, this is to settle down his son, and he plans to kick out Gu Tianyuan, who occupied this place before, so that his son can monopolize Du Yi?
Gu Caiwei chuckled: "Jiulang is a child, he came all the way from Xuzhou, Daddy, you refuse to take him in, then I can only leave him." Now that he is getting along well with Shizi here, and Xuzhou is far away, I can't just send him back, right? If something goes wrong on the way back, I really can't explain it to my second uncle! β
"Then you can hand him over to me, and I'll take him home first!" Gu Chengyuan hurriedly said.
Gu Caiwei frowned.
Tian also nodded hurriedly. "Ah Qin, your father is right. Jiulang is not your own brother, what is the matter with you keeping him here? Beware that he is accustomed to enjoying the glory and wealth here with you, and he will rely on you in the future, and will not go back to that country place! β
Gu Caiwei suddenly became angry again. "This is your so-called two-room family, relying on you to eat and drink spicy food in the countryside and make a lot of money? As a brother and sister-in-law, you should have brought your younger brother with you when you are developed. But now, listen to what you have to say...... You've been guarding against them all the time, for fear they'll get some benefit from you! In that case, why are you still pretending to be some brothers, friends and brothers to show others, is it interesting? β
Tian's face turned white when he was scolded, and Gu Chengyuan hurriedly shouted: "What do you little lady know?" Who said I wasn't happy to bring my brother along? It's just that now I haven't gained a firm foothold in Chang'an! And there has to be a first-come, first-served approach to work, right? Don't I have to get rich and rich myself first, and then carry him with me? β
Phew!
I'm afraid that your idea is that you will become rich first, and then you will cut off the relationship with your brother, and your own family will be glorious in Chang'an, but let the second room continue to operate miserably in the countryside of Xuzhou!
Although Gu Chengfeng's family doesn't need Gu Chengyuan's support at all. However, seeing the eldest uncle's face, Gu Caiwei was still angry.
She also hated her uncle in her heart. If he was kind to her father and loved her and Jiulang as nephews and nieces, he would not be able to remain in this official position until now!
Gu Caiwei looked at him with a sneer. "Daddy, you touch your conscience, do you think you believe this?"
Gu Chengyuan trembled again. "You damn girl......"
"Father-in-law." At this time, I heard Du Junqing scream.
Gu Chengyuan hurriedly turned his head, and he seemed to have changed in an instant, with a happy and cautious face. "Son-in-law, you called me?"
"The dead girl you are talking about now, she is Ben Hou's wife." Du Junqing reminded him seriously.
Gu Chengyuan's smile froze. "I know that. But that's why I'm going to help you teach her a good lesson. Look at what she's all about? If she wants to go out on this virtue, she doesn't know how much face she will lose to the Hou Mansion! β
"Ben Hou thinks it's good for her to be like this." Du Junqing said again.
Gu Chengyuan was stunned again.
Du Junqing walked up to Gu Caiwei again, and he took her hand. Ben Hou likes her pungent temperament. And whether she is at home or outside, she is also like this, and now everyone in Chang'an already knows about it. Ben Hou thinks it's very good, I like to watch her spill in public, scolding others so red that they can't talk back. β
As soon as these words came out, not only Gu Chengyuan, but also Gu Caiwei were stunned.
She glanced at Du Junqing quietly. "You're crazy, aren't you? Say this in public, beware of people who really think you have a unique taste! β
Du Junqing only glanced at her lightly: "Benhou has always had a unique taste. β
Once this man is embarrassed, it is also breathtaking.
Gu Caiwei couldn't say anything about him, so she just shut up.
Over there, Gu Chengyuan also reacted for a long time before he opened his mouth. "So son-in-law, you like her like this! That's good, that's good. Second lady, you remember to keep it! β
"Daddy, don't worry, I will definitely stick to the end." Gu Caiwei nodded with a smile.
Gu Chengyuan was stunned again when he heard this, he always had a strange feeling in his heart, as if he was ...... I dug myself a big hole, and then jumped into it on my own initiative?
He looked at Gu Caiwei blankly, and Gu Caiwei said again: "To tell you the truth, Wulang and Jiulang are my brothers, but neither of them crawled out of my mother's belly, so in fact, there is no difference between them and me." So, it's good that I can make a bowl of water level for both of them. As for who doesn't love anyone, it all depends on their own performance. β
Gu Chengyuan doesn't like to hear this.
He was about to speak, but Du Junqing spoke in time: "Madam is right. β
Gu Chengyuan's throat was like being choked by a big palm, and he couldn't spit out a word anymore.
When Tian heard Gu Caiwei say this, she also had mixed feelings in her heart. Joy and displeasure are all intertwined.
What she was happy about was naturally that her daughter did not treat Gu Tianci as the root of her life because of Gu Chengyuan's strong recommendation. After all, it was just the son of a concubine, and the concubine almost her to death several times in the early years. Then for the concubine's son, she didn't have much joy in her heart.
But Gu Caiwei raised Gu Jiulang's status to the same high as Gu Wulang, which made her very unhappy - no matter what, how could the stinky boy in the second room be compared to the son of their big room?
Therefore, the way she looks at Gu Caiwei now is also a little complicated.
After Gu Caiwei said those words, she came directly to pull the Tian family. "Since Daddy and Auntie are here, let's stay for dinner! And A-Niang, you come with me, let's talk quietly together between mother and daughter. β
As for Gu Chengyuan, he naturally left it to Du Junqing.
Seeing this, Du Junqing tugged at the corners of his lips slightly, and glanced at Gu Caiwei silently. Gu Caiwei stuck out her tongue at him, and hurriedly pulled Tian away.
When the mother and daughter returned to the room, Tian was about to speak, but Gu Caiwei took the lead and asked, "Has Doctor Li come to see you in the past few days?" β
"Gone and went." Tian nodded hurriedly.
Gu Caiwei bowed. "I told Doctor Li that he would help you take care of your body and help you give birth to a son as soon as possible. That way, you won't have to be forced to treat someone else's son as your own. β
If Gu Tianci had been well educated since he was a child, and he really treated the Tian family as his mother, she would not have said such a thing. But Gu Tianci had already been raised crooked by Tian Niang, and now he was still spoiled by Gu Chengyuan, and the little guy didn't even take her, Mrs. Changninghou, seriously. When he grows up, he will be happy to give Tian's pension to the end!
Since this is the case, then of course she has to help the Tian family find another way back. There is no way, this is the responsibility she must fulfill after occupying Gu Caiqin's body.
When Tian heard this, her eyes turned red, and she instantly lost the mind to blame her daughter.
"Aqin, you are really getting more and more sensible. Seeing you and Hou Ye standing together today, the two talented women really look like Mrs. Hou, and A-Niang is very happy in her heart! As soon as she grabbed Gu Caiwei's hand, she choked up and whispered.
Gu Caiwei suddenly sighed in her heart.
This aunt in her body really makes her not know what to say. In fact, she still loves the daughter she gave birth to in her heart, but under the oppression of her husband, she gradually began to be brainwashed again, and felt that Gu Chengyuan was right. So, when Gu Chengyuan was there, she kept echoing Gu Chengyuan. But once she left Gu Chengyuan, her daughter was right.
Such an assertive, wall-like woman, she tried her best to help her up, but she couldn't help her, she was so powerless.
And at this time, she heard Tian start complaining: "But I didn't say, how is this Doctor Li grinding now?" If he wants me to give birth to a son, he will give me a pack of the miracle medicine that gave birth to a child before! As a result, I asked him for it many times, but he didn't give it, and I was so angry! I don't think he can get any money from me at all, so he is reluctant to give me good medicine! Qin Niang, you must tell me about him when you go back, otherwise you can change to a doctor! β
The black line on Gu Caiwei's forehead fell down.
It's been so long, and she hasn't even seen through Doctor Li's so-called Bao Shengzi's dog skin plaster trap?
After taking that kind of medicine, she was lucky and didn't have anything to do. If you're unlucky...... If you give birth to a freak, that's the end of it!
But this kind of thing is not clear to the Tian family, Gu Caiwei can only sink her face. "That kind of medicine can't be taken casually. A-Niang, you are old, and unlike young people, you must first take care of your body. Otherwise, if you take that medicine rashly, once your belly gets bigger, your body can't bear it, what should you do? Have you forgotten how my previous brothers and sisters didn't keep them? Isn't it because you get pregnant too often and your foundation is too thin, but the child is not well raised in your belly, and then you come out very weak, so you don't carry it? β
Tian's face turned pale again by what she said.
"Okay, okay, my mother knows. Isn't it okay for my mother to recuperate first? In order to give you another brother to rely on, I will eat those bitter medicines! More and more, she found that she didn't dare to speak much in front of this daughter.
Gu Caiwei bowed her head at this time, and then she turned the conversation again and asked about what had happened in the Tian family's Gu family these days. The Tian family was busy and honestly explained, and Gu Caiwei also knew: Gu Chengyuan really planned to get acquainted with Di Ge Lao by himself! Of course, if both of their father and son can get in touch with the old mansion through Du Junqing's recommendation, it would be the best!
It's just that she and Du Junqing were on guard and rejected him fiercely from the beginning, so Gu Chengyuan didn't have time to make the most excessive request, and they had already blocked him.
Knowing this, Gu Caiwei hurriedly wiped the fine sweat on her forehead, and sighed in her heart-thanks to Du Junqing's presence. Otherwise, she would be really choked by herself to deal with that Laipi uncle alone!
The two of them had another conversation, and the maid in front of them came to spread the word and set the meal.
Gu Caiwei and Tian walked forward again, and saw that Du Junqing and Gu Chengyuan were already here. Immediately afterwards, Du Yi and Gu Tianyuan also pulled Gu Tianci over.
I don't know what the two uncles and nephews did to Gu Tianci, Gu Tianci is now honest like a quail, standing between the two of them obediently, with a smile on his face that is more ugly than crying, and he doesn't dare to move.
Gu Tianyuan still acted as if he had done a big thing, and openly asked Gu Caiwei for merit and reward: "Sister, you see, we have released our old suspicions with the fifth elder brother, and he has promised to live in harmony with us in the future." Fifth brother, do you think so? β
Gu Tianci slowly raised his eyelids, glanced at Gu Caiwei with a godless gaze, and then lowered his eyelids: "Yes." β
"That's good, that's good!" Gu Chengyuan was obviously very satisfied with this ending. He nodded happily, "Then from today onwards, Gorou, you can stay here and read and write with Shizi!" The gentlemen invited by the Hou Mansion must be good, you have to learn from Mr. β
Hearing this, Gu Tianci's mouth was deflated, and a flash of water appeared in his eyes.
Seeing this, Du Yi immediately coughed lightly, Gu Tianci's shoulders shook, and he forced his tears back.
"What Daddy said is that the child knows." He whispered, his voice trembling.
This poor child. Seeing this, Gu Caiwei couldn't help but bow a tear of sympathy for him in her heart.
Originally, a Du Yi was difficult enough to deal with, and Gu Tianyuan was a bear child since he was a child. Originally, these two children competed with each other, and they were inseparable. Now that there is a Gu Tianci, they are all at gunpoint, and they are bullying Gu Tianci in unison!
Gu Tianci actually relied on Gu Chengfeng's momentum to show off his might in the Gu family. But when it comes to the ability to toss people, he is not even as good as a finger of Gu Tianyuan! So...... Not surprisingly, it was only less than half a day, and he had been bullied by these two little guys to the point of dementia.
Then his life will only be harder for the rest of the day!
But there was no way, this was what he was looking for, and it was also what Gu Chengyuan was looking forward to.
At this moment, everyone is in a good mood. Everyone sat down and ate together, and Gu Chengyuan went home with Tian and left Gu Tianci behind.
Seeing Tian and Gu Chengyuan just leave without looking back, Gu Tianci couldn't hold back any longer, his shoulders shrank, and two tears slipped down the corners of his eyes.
Seeing this, Du Yi instantly raised his eyebrows. "Uncle, what's wrong? Do you think that our Hou Mansion is not well entertained? If that's the case, then I'll have to fix it. β
As he spoke, he glanced at Gu Tianyuan. "Little uncle, let's go out for a walk with the eldest uncle and talk!"
"Good!" Gu Tianyuan's eyes suddenly lit up. The two little guys hit it off, ignoring Gu Tianci's resistance at all, and forcibly dragged him out again.
Gu Caiwei was amazed.
"Your son is so shameless." She sincerely sighed to Du Junqing.
Du Junqing also looked at her. "Your brother is not far behind."
Gu Caiwei suddenly snorted, she was so happy that she couldn't stand still, and threw herself directly into this man's arms.
Du Junqing was also quick and helped her. "So anxious to throw yourself into your arms?" A low, audible voice rang in his ears.
Gu Caiwei immediately frowned, and quickly withdrew her hand. "Master Hou, when did you become so unserious?"
"As if you're a serious person." Du Junqing responded lazily.
Gu Caiwei pursed her lips. "But no matter what, thank you Master Hou for coming forward to pay my father today. If it weren't for you, I don't know how many sins I would have suffered. β
"Then what thank you are you going to give Ben Hou?" Du Junqing hit the snake with the stick and asked immediately.
This man is really ...... Give him some sunshine and he'll start to shine!
Gu Caiwei was about to stab back again. But as soon as she looked up, when she met this person's gaze, she sighed inexplicably in her heart, and quickly lowered her eyes again.
"Isn't it simple to give your thank you to Master Hou? Recently, the green plums have been getting bigger, and I'm planning to pick some of them to make plum cakes and make some plum wine by the way. The plum cake I made is guaranteed to be sweet and sour, Master Hou, do you want to try it? β
"Okay." Du Jun cleared his head.
Gu Caiwei hurriedly let out a sigh, and suddenly a happy smile appeared on her face.
It's just that she didn't have time to take Du Yi and them to pick the green plums in the Hou Mansion and soak them in water, and someone sent them a post - it was Princess Taiping.
After their status soared because of Di Ge's two warm receptions, Princess Taiping now knows that according to the rules, she will hand them the post first.
"This time, the princess took the initiative to set up a banquet, please attend." Gu Caiwei took the post and said to Du Junqing.
"Then go ahead!" Du Jun cleared his head, "The princess is gracious, we can't refuse." However, Ah Yi and the others still stayed in the Hou Mansion. β
Gu Caiwei thought so.
Du Yi and Gu Tianyuan, these two little guys have taken the initiative to combine their swords since Gu Tianci appeared, and their little brains don't know what to do, and their bad ideas are one set after another. Gu Tianci was about to be tortured by them and went crazy!
It's just that these two little guys are clever and clever, and every time they finish doing bad things, they wipe out all the clues, so Gu Tianci can't say anything about the dumb loss, so he can only knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach. At first, he wanted to resist, but after a few times, he is now much more submissive. Now he is like a little rabbit, well-behaved and obedient, but he often shows horror on his face, for fear that Du Yi and Gu Tianyuan will suddenly toss something new to deal with him.
Regarding the actions of the two little guys, Gu Caiwei only had three words to comment - well done!
So, since they are still on the rise, she won't take a few of them to the princess's mansion. The princess's mansion is full of dangers, and Gu Tianci's etiquette has not been learned well, so she is afraid that she will be used by someone with a heart when she takes it out.
Anyway, she didn't bring it if she didn't bring it, even Gu Chengyuan couldn't find any fault with her!
So, on the day of Princess Taiping's banquet, Gu Caiwei easily went to the princess's mansion with Du Junqing.
This time, the banquet was still held by the Captain of Wulu Madu's Mansion, and the guests who came to the banquet were also similar to the last time. It's just that Gu Caiwei and Du Junqing were treated more than one step higher this time than last time.
As soon as their carriage arrived at the princess's mansion, the guests in front of them took the initiative to make way for them and let them go first. The porter received the gift and sang loudly: "Two boxes of seasonal pastries!" β
When the others heard this, there was no disdain on their faces, and no one sneered, but began to ask curiously what kind of pastries they were. After all, these people are very well-informed, they already knew that Gu Caiwei had already been in contact with Princess Taiping, and the tool for Gu Caiwei and Princess Taiping to get together was the pastries she made herself!
After entering the princess's mansion, Princess Taiping's personal maid was already waiting there.
"Mrs. Changninghou, please come with your servant. The princess is waiting for you in the back. β
This maid is no longer the one who teamed up with Zhang Changzong to trick her out last time.
Gu Caiwei nodded, and followed her back.
Fortunately, this time Princess Taiping held a banquet, so she dressed up properly. When Gu Caiwei came over, she was talking quietly to the ladies in Chang'an City. Although there were also a few good-looking male pets standing beside him, these people were all neatly dressed and standing aside obediently, not as profligate as Gu Caiwei had seen every time before.
Gu Caiwei walked in the door, and she hurriedly bent down and saluted. "I've seen Her Royal Highness the Princess."
"Excuse me, get up!" Princess Taiping hurriedly waved her hand and beckoned her over, "Mrs. Changninghou, you really have no conscience!" Every time I don't call you over, you really don't hear anything at all. It's a shame that Princess Ben thinks that our relationship is already intimate! β
When she said this, the taste of taking the initiative to show favor was too heavy, and when the noble ladies on the side heard it, they all showed surprise on their faces.
And Princess Jianchang, who was sitting next to Princess Taiping, had a very interesting face.
It seems that the snake disaster in the Jianchang Palace's mansion hit her very hard, and until now, her figure is still very thin. The clothes that were suitable were now much wider on her, and they were empty, like a child stealing an adult's clothes. Her cheeks also deflated a lot, which contrasted her cheekbones and her face was much meaner.
In the New Tang Dynasty, where fat is beautiful, her appearance is really not a good thing.
Not to mention, her face is still sallow and sallow. Although there was a thick layer of fat powder on his face, he still couldn't hide the dark yellow.
Therefore, she has a lot of grievances. When she saw Gu Caiwei, the resentment in her eyes exploded exponentially!
If it was somewhere else, she would have had an uncontrollable seizure. But now, there is Princess Taiping sitting here......
She could only grit her teeth and force herself to suppress her anger. It's just a pair of eyes, but they are still staring at Gu Caiwei, as if they want to drill two holes in her.
Gu Caiwei didn't care about this.
What she did, she never denied, and she also welcomed Princess Jianchang to come to her for revenge - of course, provided that this woman still has the guts!
So now, she just glanced at Princess Jianchang lightly, and smiled at Princess Taiping: "Princess, what you said really flattered me. Since you look down on me so much, princess, I will come to see you often in the future. β
"That's pretty much it." Princess Taiping smiled and nodded, and then let her sit down.
Although the two of them only exchanged a few words like this, and then another guest came over, Princess Taiping immediately diverted her attention, but the people present had already changed their attitude towards Gu Caiwei - although they didn't know why Gu Caiwei was so lucky, she actually climbed up to Princess Taiping and Di Ge Lao on her front and back feet. But these two, one is an important minister in the court, and the other is the most beloved princess of Her Majesty the Empress today, both of them are characters that ordinary people can't climb if they want to, but she has climbed them all in a short period of time! This shows that she is capable enough!
So, these people quietly made up their minds in their hearts - in the future, they must have a good relationship with this Mrs. Changning Hou!
As a result, there were more people who immediately pulled Gu Caiwei to speak. Although there are still many people talking to Princess Jianchang, Princess Jianchang still feels that she has been left out, and the resentment around her has become even stronger.
Princess Taiping's treat, of course, is not just about eating.
Everyone sat in the house for a while and talked, and Princess Taiping took everyone to the back garden.
Now in late spring and early summer, the back garden is full of vegetation and flowers, and all kinds of flowers are blooming, which is beautiful.
Princess Taiping walked around with the people, and after hearing enough of their appreciation, she smiled and said, "Actually, I invited you here today to let everyone come to see a treasure." β
There are a lot of treasures in Chang'an City. But what can be called a baby by Princess Taiping, it is definitely a treasure among treasures!
So when they heard her say this, all the guests' eyes lit up, and they hurriedly asked: "Dare to ask the princess, what kind of treasure is it?" β
Princess Taiping smiled lightly, and ordered someone to bring a small box of delicate rosewood.
The maid opened the box, and a cold light flashed inside, startling everyone present with cold hands and feet.
Princess Taiping took everyone's reaction into her eyes, and she smiled proudly, and then took out the dagger in the box.
The knife was drawn out of its sheath, and a dagger that shone with cold light and was extremely sharp at a glance appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
"Look, everyone, how about this new dagger that Princess Ben has acquired?" She took the dagger in her hand and waved it a few times before putting it back in the box and telling the maid to bring it down for the guests to see.
After seeing it, the guests were naturally full of praise.
When the thing reached Gu Caiwei, Gu Caiwei also looked at it, and found that this dagger was much better than her one! The appearance is beautiful and charming, and the cold is wanton, which makes people afraid at a glance, and they dare not get closer to it in the future. Merely...... This dagger is inevitably too exposed, just like Princess Taiping's people, too dazzling, but weakens part of its function.
Princess Taiping took everyone's praise in her ears, and the smugness on her face became more and more obvious.
Don't dare, when she saw Gu Caiwei's reaction, her eyes darkened. "Why is Mrs. Changning Hou frowning? What do you think is wrong with my dagger? β
"Nope." Gu Caiwei hurriedly shook her head, "Princess, your dagger is light and small, and its appearance is beautiful, which is just right for your identity." After I saw this, I deeply felt that I couldn't even take it to the table, and I was ashamed of myself, so I was like this. β
"Is that so?" Princess Taiping smiled, "Originally, I wanted to say, let you take out your dagger and compete with me!" As a result, I'm embarrassed to say that now. β
"Nothing compared. Princess, what you can look at, it is absolutely unique in the world. Mine is just my marquis left for me to defend myself, just hit a dozen and use it, that can be with the princess of your selected rough stones, and then ask the best craftsmen in the world to carve it? Gu Caiwei hurriedly said.
"But hearing you say that, this princess wants to try it even more, Mrs. Changninghou, what do you think this should be?" Princess Taiping asked with a smile.
Gu Caiwei frowned, and honestly took out the dagger. "The princess is happy to give me this face, and of course I can't ask for it. In that case, princess, let people compare it. β
Princess Taiping was not polite, and immediately asked people to take two daggers to try it out, but the means of the competition were only to take the dagger to cut paper, cut a piece of wood, and finally move two legs of mutton and use two daggers to draw down.
Eventually, the two thick legs of mutton slammed into two pieces with a dagger, and the breaks were neatly and smoothly broken.
The other guests were dumbfounded.
Only Princess Jianchang said faintly at this time: "If this comparison continues, I don't know when these two daggers will be able to compare." I don't think it's better to use these two daggers to attack each other and see who can cut whom. Whoever wins, it's the best dagger in the world! β
Gu Caiwei's eyes were cold again when she heard this.
This Princess Jianchang is really vicious.
Her dagger and Princess Taiping's dagger attack each other, if Princess Taiping's is broken, in front of so many guests, where will Princess Taiping's face be placed? Once the princess gets angry and is instigated by Princess Jianchang, she is very likely to be angry with her.
But if she is cut off, her weapon of self-defense will be gone. It's a small matter to lose face in public, and if she goes out in the future, the likelihood of her encountering danger will increase more than tenfold, which is the most important thing!
But hearing Princess Jianchang say this, Princess Taiping's eyes lit up. "That's a good idea! Well, let's try it! β
As soon as she spoke, Gu Caiwei naturally had to agree.
At this time, I saw a sturdy maid holding a dagger in her hand, and after she had enough strength, she slammed her arm and slammed the two daggers together.
Buzz β
In an instant, a crisp sound of gold and stone emitted at the beginning of the impact, and the sound was delicate and long-lasting.
Immediately after, they saw another flower, and it turned out to be two daggers after rubbing, and the gap between them crackled and burst into a brilliant fire!
"Oh my god, these two daggers are good stuff!" When the guests on the side saw this, some of them muttered.
Princess Taiping frowned slightly, and her face was not very good-looking.
The maid rubbed the two daggers from the bottom to the top before she let go.
At this time, she also breathed a sigh of relief, quickly wiped the fine sweat from her forehead, and put the two daggers back into the box. "The results are out, princess, please take a look."
Princess Taiping's eyes flashed, but she didn't start. "I don't understand the dagger, even if you bring it to me, I can't understand it, so let's say it! So that the guests here can hear it. β
The maid immediately bowed her head. "In all fairness, these two daggers are good stuff. It's just that Mrs. Changninghou's edge is restrained, and the princess is murderous, but they are all very sharp. Now the two daggers have collided together, and your dagger is still intact, but there are already many small gaps on the top of Mrs. Changninghou's. So in comparison, it is still the princess and your dagger is superior. β
Hearing this, Princess Taiping turned her head. "Is that so? Bring me these two daggers! β
Princess Jianchang also smiled strangely at this time: "Congratulations princess, your things are really the best in the world." It's just that Mrs. Changning Hou, you are pitiful! I remember that this dagger was given to you by the Marquis of Changning? As a result, now that the good dagger is ruined, how should you explain to the Marquis of Changning when you turn around? β
"Tell me honestly, otherwise what else can I do?" Gu Caiwei responded lightly, "It's just a dagger, if it's broken, it's broken, just go back and ask my marquis to find me a better self-defense tool." Could it be that he will turn his face with me because of a dagger? He's not that kind of person! β
Princess Jianchang suddenly gritted her teeth again.
Every time! Every time she makes a move against this woman, Gu Caiwei can push things aside without being salty, making her feel like she has punched cotton, this feeling of exerting all her strength but having nowhere to vent is really unpleasant!
Princess Taiping had already finished checking the two daggers at this time. Sure enough, her one was as bright as ever, and the blade was as sharp as ever, and there were no scars on it. But Gu Caiwei's one was miserable, only to see that one side of the dagger was densely covered with many small gaps, which were all hit by her dagger.
Although she didn't cut the dagger in two, she was very satisfied with the results she had now.
When she raised her head again, she heard Gu Caiwei's words, and immediately covered her lips and laughed again. "It seems that the husband and wife of Changning Hou really have a very good relationship. You said you wanted to reconcile with him before, but now it seems that you are angry at all! β
The corners of Gu Caiwei's mouth twitched. "This time and that time."
As she spoke, she also went over to take her dagger, put it in the scabbard, and then said hello to Princess Taiping. "Congratulations to the princess, you have a sharp weapon."
Princess Taiping also smiled instantly. "Thanks to this dagger, I didn't lose my face. Thinking about it this way, I took Liulang in exchange for a promise from A-Niang, which is worth it! β
Hearing this, Gu Caiwei's heart sank suddenly.
can be called a mother by Princess Taiping, there can only be that one person in this world - Her Majesty the current Empress.
And Rokuro ......
"Princess, did you give Zhang Changzong to Her Majesty the Empress?" Gu Caiwei asked in a low voice.
"yes!" Princess Taiping nodded with a smile, "Although Liulang was born well, he is also very gentle and very good at serving people." It's just that his mind is too wild, and I can't control it. It just so happened that A-Niang had been unhappy because of Xue Huaiyi's death, and in the past few years, I felt that it was not the right appetite to find several male pets, so I sent Liulang over. As a result, who knows, A-Niang was in a good mood when she saw him, and immediately made him a general of Yunlu and exercised the position of Zuo Qianniu Zhonglang General, and he naturally stayed in the palace. I heard that he also took his brother into the palace, and the two brothers served by Ah Niang's side together, coaxing Ah Niang to smile. It's been a long time since I've seen A-Niang so happy! β
After that, she lowered her voice and said to Gu Caiwei: "It just so happens that I exchanged one of him for A-Niang who promised me to have control over the iron mine in Changlai County." The rough stone of this dagger was dug out of that iron mine! β
Gu Caiwei couldn't close her eyes.
How did she forget that if there is a mother, there must be a daughter. Since Princess Taiping is so profligate, Her Majesty the Empress in the palace will naturally not be much better.
The most important thing is...... Zhang Changzong, he was actually a blessing in disguise and was directly sent to the empress to serve the pillow seat!
This person has always been bold and reckless, and he was so arrogant when he was by Princess Taiping's side, so when he was favored by Her Majesty the Empress, he would not turn the sky upside down?
Gu Caiwei hurriedly said: "Princess, you better be careful of Zhang Changzong!" He is the best at villains, and now that he has entered the palace to be favored, he doesn't know what will happen. β
"He has such a temperament, but A-Niang likes it, what can I do? And before sending him into the palace, he promised me that he would definitely speak for me in A-Niang's ear. For example, now, if he hadn't been saying good things about me, how could Ah Niang have generously agreed to let me own iron ore? She didn't want to let people outside know that I was involved in politics! Princess Taiping said with a smile.
When Gu Caiwei heard this, her brows suddenly furrowed even tighter.
But looking at Princess Taiping like this, she still regarded Zhang Changzong as a thing that could be handled casually, and she didn't consider that this thing was a living person at all. Once given the opportunity, he will develop a desire to control power. But on the contrary, in addition to a good-looking face, this person's brain is simply an ornament.
But looking at Princess Taiping's current performance, Gu Caiwei knew that she couldn't say what she said. Otherwise, not only will it not work, but it will also make Princess Taiping unhappy.
She lowered her eyes, and took advantage of the opportunity of Princess Taiping to greet others again, and silently stepped aside.
Just when she was depressed, a figure had slowly approached her.
"It's just a male pet, no matter how much he tosses, he can't go to the sky. There are still so many people with eyes in this Chang'an City, we won't let them toss too much. The calm and beautiful voice drilled into her ears, but it suddenly made Gu Caiwei's heart chuckle!
She hurriedly turned around, only to find a noble lady in her fifties standing beside her at this time, gossiping to her as if she were gossiping.
She actually guessed all the whispers she said to Princess Taiping!
Gu Caiwei was shocked.
This person definitely guessed, she was sure. After all, Her Majesty the Empress was not too happy for Princess Taiping to meddle in political affairs. Although she has begun to back down now, she will definitely not be willing to let too many people know. Therefore, when Princess Taiping spoke to her just now, her voice was deliberately low.
Thinking like this, Gu Caiwei couldn't help but glance at the person in front of her a few more times.
But...... I don't know. She quickly searched for this person's face in her heart, she only remembered that she seemed to have met at the old lady's birthday banquet before, but the two sides did not have any contact, and the other party did not come over to talk to them at that time, so she naturally would not take the initiative to go over to talk.
So now, why did this person take the initiative to come to her? And as soon as she opened her mouth, she was comforting words!
Just when she was thinking in her heart, the noble lady had already spoken: "My husband's surname is Zhang, and he is the protΓ©gΓ© of Di Gelao. This time, it was also Elder Di Ge who instructed us to come to meet you. If nothing else, now my husband is sitting with yours and laughing. β
Di Ge's protΓ©gΓ©, surnamed Zhang...... Then she'll know!
Gu Caiwei suddenly shouted happily: "You are Zhang Xiangye's wife!" β
Today's Prime Minister Zhang Cambodia! This is the person selected by Di Ge Lao to take over the iron mine!
