"Whether he was premeditated or not, it's hard to get out of it." Senior Gu's brows were almost knotted: "After all, you are the head of the branch, no matter how much they have done in the warehouse, the accounts must always be checked from you." They reported false accounts to you, and if you didn't see the problem, it was your dereliction of duty, and the emperor would not listen to so many excuses and explanations from you. ”

"Yes." Gu Sanye obviously didn't want to distinguish for himself at all: "Therefore, what to do next now is the most important thing." ”

"Tomorrow I will go to the Anguo Mansion with your mother." Scholar Gu said: "What should I do, I will discuss it with the Anguo Mansion first." The matter involves the Mu family, and we were able to get the news this time, and it was thanks to the ninth sister who came back to report the news, so our family's attitude must be clear, no matter what, we will fully support the Anguo Mansion to find out the truth. ”

"Speaking of which," Gu Sanye raised his head and asked tentatively, "Father, this time the emperor sent King Xin to investigate this matter thoroughly." What do you think. ”

"Shin Oh is a good fit." Scholar Gu replied categorically: "At least it is more suitable than King Yi." He Wenmao and Li Xiang are all people of King Yi. ”

Seeing Scholar Gu's attitude, Gu Sanye's psychology was a little bottom, he hesitated for a moment, but still said something that had been in his heart for a long time, and planned to discuss it with his father.

"Father," Gu Sanye carefully said as he carefully observed Scholar Gu's face: "I mentioned to you a few days ago that I wanted to hire a good teacher for Cheng'er and give him guidance on his learning. I originally thought that with my father at home, you are the famous Hongru of our Great Zhou Dynasty, and you can't ask others to go up, but the current situation in the court is delicate, and you are afraid that you don't have the leisure to go to Gu Cheng'er. Cheng'er is going to end next year, and it's too late to worship Master now, so I thought, it's better to ask a young man who was in the previous exams and has outstanding articles to guide Cheng'er. ”

Scholar Gu had already guessed what his son wanted to say, he pondered for a moment, and only after thinking again and again did he ask, "Who do you want to ask for guidance?" Is the military department Qiao Wenjin? ”

"Yes." Gu Sanye nodded: "Qiao Wenjin was born in Tanhua, a good article, and everyone in the court knows it." ”

Scholar Gu did not answer immediately. He closed his eyes, leaned back in his chair, as if asleep, and did not speak for a long time. Gu Sanye was also patient, he didn't open his mouth to disturb his father's thoughts at will, but sat aside quietly and waited for Scholar Gu's decision.

Senior Scholar Gu was silent for a long time before he said in a dumb voice: "Third brother, do you know that there is no way back when you go out this time." ”

"Father thinks we have a way out?" Gu Sanye asked with a serious face.

Scholar Gu didn't answer, but let out a long sigh.

"Father," Gu Sanye was silent for a moment, and then asked another question: "Now that this is the case, do you still think that King Yi will be a suitable candidate for the throne?" ”

"As a king, you should know people and be good at your duties." Senior Gu opened his eyes, looked at the ceiling, and replied in a tired tone.

"In that case, father, what else do you have to hesitate about?" Gu Sanye asked: "King Xin is our only choice at the moment, we can be worthy of the imperial court, and we can also protect our Gu family." ”

"I know." Scholar Gu nodded: "I wanted to wait and see for a while, after all, the decision of the crown prince is closely related to the future of the country, and I didn't want to make such a hasty choice." It's a pity that the situation is forced. That's it...... In that case, there is no need to look ahead. You should first contact Qiao Wenjin cautiously, and remember, we can't take a public position at the moment. ”

"I know." Gu Sanye replied: "After all, He Wenmao is the person of King Yi, if he knows the choice of our Gu family, then he will not hesitate to throw me out to carry the black pot." ”

"You should know what to do." Senior Scholar Gu stood up and walked out: "Tomorrow, your mother and I will go to the Anguo Mansion first and personally send the ninth sister back." When I come back, I'll talk to you brothers in person. ”

"Yes." Gu Sanye replied solemnly behind Scholar Gu: "Father, don't worry. ”

On this night, Gu Zhengze made the most important decision. He decided to lead the entire Gu family and get on the boat of King Xin.

And all this, in fact, is also inseparable from the tireless efforts of Xie Shurou of the crossing party. She, a butterfly who worked hard to flap her wings, finally teamed up with the heroine Gu Yilan, who had gone astray, and jointly promoted the Gu family to fall to King Xin, so that the situation of the entire Great Zhou Dynasty also produced new changes.

Are the women in the back house really unable to do anything?

Not necessarily!

Gu Yilan's return to her parents' house really couldn't be hidden.

Early in the morning of the second day, Scholar Gu went to the court, and many courtiers took the initiative to come over to care about his family affairs. Among them are Li Xiang, as well as He Wenmao, the head of the household.

"Alas!" In front of Li Xiang, Scholar Gu sighed half-truthfully: "I originally thought that in a few days, I would invite my wife to come to the door and take the ninth sister back to live for two days." But she didn't expect that she ran back by herself yesterday. At this moment, it seems that our Gu family is at a loss. ”

"Young man! Can't stand it. Li Xiang persuaded: "Don't worry too much, since you're back, it's good to let the child stay at home for two days." ”

"I'm going to send her back myself today." Scholar Gu replied with a sad face: "By the way, I apologize to her mother-in-law's parents." If we take her back, it doesn't hurt to stay for a few more days, but she ran back by herself, how could the Mu family not be picky. ”

"You're going to come and apologize in person?" Li Xiang's eyes flashed: "This is rare." Your granddaughter has been married to the Anguo Mansion for all these years, and you haven't taken the initiative to go to the Anguo Mansion except for the wedding day, right? ”

"yes!" Scholar Gu sighed and nodded: "I am Wenchen, and the ninth sister-in-law's family is a military general, and I want to avoid some suspicion in both of them, and I have too many contacts on weekdays." If it weren't for the ninth sister this time...... Alas! It's useless to say anything at the moment. I'd better send her back first. ”

"The boss is worried about his granddaughter, and he should be." He Wenmao, who had been listening for a long time, smiled: "Besides, there is such a big event in the Anguo Mansion, and it is common sense for you, as an in-law, to come to greet you." ”

"yes!" Scholar Gu simply admitted directly: "If you don't pay attention to it, I'm afraid people will have to pick on it." After all, my ninth sister will have to live in Anguo Mansion in the future, even if I want to avoid suspicion, I have to plan for my granddaughter! But...... To tell you the truth, I really can't help with the affairs of the Anguo Mansion. The emperor sent King Xin to handle the case, and I just hope that King Xin can find out the results quickly. That's right...... The two adults have heard about it, early this morning, King Xin sent people to surround Princess Rongdi's mansion. ”
