Gu Quan is a classmate and friend of Zhao Wenxiang, born in a family of masters, and he is also a great talent. Unfortunately, I was unlucky, I took the exam for more than ten years, and every year I failed to complete the exam for various reasons.

Later, he rested his thoughts on scientific research, and was a counselor beside Jiang Zhiqiu, who was also a friend, and followed him from place to place. Jiang Zhiqiuguan is getting bigger and bigger, and the road of Guquan is getting smoother and smoother.

Later, Jiang Zhiqiu and the prince's family got closer and closer, and Gu Quan couldn't persuade him, so he resigned from Jiang Zhiqiu and didn't ask about political affairs.

Over the years, he has been a gentleman in several major academies, and many students have passed the scientific examination to enter the court as officials, which can be regarded as a peach and plum all over the world. Later, I didn't know why, and I refused to teach the book anymore, so I lived in the Zhao family.

He was supported by the Zhao family, and when the Zhao family was in trouble and difficulty, he helped come up with ideas. More often, the Zhao family can only rely on the vouchers he left in the silver building to learn about his traces.

This time, Gu Quan happened to be in the Zhao family's courtyard.

The eldest lady was silent for a long time, looking at Zhao Wennian with a solemn expression: "His whereabouts over the years are mysterious, and the amount of cash withdrawn every year is not small, we don't know what he is doing." Although he is a great talent, he is afraid that he will not be able to control it.

What's more, Brother Chen is outstanding among his peers, but he may not be able to enter the eyes of Gu Quan. If you ask him, he naturally can't wipe his face and refuse, but what if the person recommended is not used properly? ”

"No!" Zhao Wennian didn't doubt this: "Brother Gu's character is valuable, if he really doesn't look down on Brother Chen, he will never refuse without losing his face." ”

Zhao Wennian was silent for a moment, looked at the eldest lady cautiously and said, "The favor on Brother Gu's side was originally reserved for Chongwen. If Brother Chen uses it this time, Chongwen will enter the office in two years......"

"Let's look at the present." Speaking of Chongwen, the eldest lady sighed: "Chongwen is a good boy, and he also knows how to study hard and make progress. But the talent is a little worse, and let him work hard for a few more years and go safely. ”

Seeing that the sister-in-law looked genuine, Zhao Wennian made up his mind: "Without further ado, I'll go to visit Big Brother Gu." ”

Late at night, Gu Quan had already taken off his coat and was ready to go to bed. When he opened the door and saw Zhao Wennian in a hurry, he intuitively felt that something was wrong: "The prince made a move on the Zhao family?" ”

Zhao Wennian was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Where is it." The prince is busy with big things, where can he see the Zhao family. ”

Entering through the open door, he carried the teapot on the table and poured two cups of tea, and Zhao Wennian got straight to the point: "My sister's house is Brother Chen'er in the fourth room of Uncle Xuanyi's Mansion, and I will go to practice with the king of the county tomorrow."

He didn't have anyone available, let alone anyone to discuss. Things were urgent and time was tight, so I had to visit late at night. Fortunately, Brother Gu is not an outsider, and he can bear the presumptuousness of the subordinates. ”

With the ability of the Zhao family, is it still difficult to find a master for Luo Tingchen? It's just that I can't look down on him and want to beat his idea.

Gu Quan was like a mirror in his heart, but he didn't say anything, he slowly put on his coat and sat down opposite Zhao Wennian: "After my father died, I followed my mother to live in Wanzhaoyuan that Luo Tingchen?" ”

Zhao Wennian nodded.

"I went to the battlefield at the age of eleven, I was raised at the age of fourteen, and I was sixteen this year, and I was valued by the king of the county again?" Gu Quan counted Luo Tingchen's experience, and Zhao Wennian couldn't hide his surprise: "Brother Gu knows this. ”

"None of this is enough for you to come to me, tell me, what's going on?"

Zhao Wennian talked about the recent events in detail.

"The article is excellent, and the king of the county favors him, and he must also value his ingenuity in dealing with the ruffians and his decisiveness in dealing with Lu Changqing's difficulties. At his age, it is indeed not easy to do that. ”

also talked about Pei Pozi's affairs: "My sister is a casual person, and she has been held in Pei Pozi's hands all these years. At a young age, Brother Chen not only sees everything transparently, but also has the calmness of not moving and the wit of using his strength. The most important thing is to know how to control the situation by yourself, and you don't have the slightest intention to find a backer to breathe a sigh of relief. ”

Gu Quan was originally drinking tea casually, but when he heard this, his tea drinking slowed down, and finally put the tea cup back on the table: "It's a good boy who is talented and lucky, and knows how to cherish blessings." ”

"A while ago, Sister Man almost gave it to the Pei family's slave, but it didn't happen by coincidence."

This is an ugly thing, and it is difficult to talk about it. But first, he couldn't hide it, and secondly, he had to let Gu Quan know about Luo Tingchen, so Zhao Wennian poured it out-

Ping Niang was afraid that someone would ruin Roman's marriage and hide the matter of marriage tightly. Before the accident, we didn't hear the slightest news that Roman was going to marry. Later, something happened to the Pei family, and it was revealed that Pei Junjie was dissolute and inconsiderate. ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Wennian took a sip of tea, and then continued: "I sent someone to check carefully, it was Brother Chen'er's hands and feet." He didn't even do it himself, he just released the news to Xuanyibo's mansion, and Xuanyibo's mansion himself became an ant on a hot pot. While he made a move to govern the Pei family, he didn't dare to hurt Sister Man's reputation. ”

Gu Quan raised his tone 'oh', obviously interested, "According to this, your nephew is better than you." After seeing the situation clearly, I first used Bofu, and then came to befriend you, and I also recruited my uncle, who had not been in contact for decades, to help him with all my might.

Don't say anything else, just say that this is a strategizing and open-minded out, and this kid won't be a pond fish. ”

"It's really rare to get a word of praise from the ancient brother."

Zhao Wennian saw that it was almost over, and then opened his mouth to beg and leave: "Brother Gu is also optimistic, the master's business ......"

"No hurry!"

Gu Quan took a sip of tea, slowly put the blue and white tea cup back on a few pieces, and then said: "Does Luo Tingchen know about the prince's wooing of Brother Wenxiang?" ”

"Yes." Zhao Wennian was full of doubts, but since Gu Quan asked, he couldn't hide it: "If I got the letter, I talked to Brother Chen." He is bent on going to the side of the king of the county, and he also wants our relationship to go further with the prince. ”

At the beginning, he poured out the day's events: "For people like us, it is enough to be loyal to the monarch and patriotism." The Holy Dragon is in good health, and there is no need to bet his life on the prince now.

This time, Jinghu suffered on both sides, and we did not want to obey the prince's wishes, nor did we get close to the prince of the county, which made the prince anxious. As for the disaster relief materials, it was just to make face for Brother Chen, he refused to ask for it, and the Zhao family also had a way to transport it to Jinghu. ”

Gu Quan looked shocked: "He insisted that the prince would take revenge on the Zhao family?" ”

"In the end, it is a child, no matter how smart it is, it ......"

"I'd like to check it out." Before Zhao Wennian finished speaking, Gu Quan had already stood up: "You will pick me up early tomorrow morning, and when Brother Chen comes out of the palace, you will introduce me for me." ”

Zhao Wennian was stunned: "Brother Gu is willing to go out of the mountain?" ”

"Let's take a look first, and help him straighten out the road, let him gain a firm foothold in the county king's mansion first."

Huanxi rushed up in an instant, almost making Zhao Wennian lose his temper. I came out of the courtyard in a daze, waited for the carriage, and still couldn't hide a foolish smile on my lips: Brother Chen, it is really a great blessing.

Early the next morning, Roman originally wanted to go around the county king's mansion in the name of sending his brother. It would be better if I could see the prince again.

But when he came out after dealing with the family affairs, Roman was blocked at the door by the Hongying family.

"Miss, you have to call the shots for us. If it weren't for Miss, our red tassel wouldn't have ruined its reputation. ”

The woman's high-pitched and gentle cry caused countless people to prick up their ears. Mama Pei blushed and knelt down respectfully: "Please Miss decide." ”

Roman glanced at the two of them lazily, and disgust welled up from the bottom of his heart.

She cleaned up the courtyard, and these people still didn't understand: none of those who dared to use their masters as guns could end well.

Perhaps, she was too gentle a while ago?

"If you let me decide, then I will make decisions for you." Seeing that the 'busy' people around him pricked up their ears, Roman thoughtfully summoned everyone over: "Call everyone to the courtyard, so that everyone knows my style of making decisions." ”

Soon, Zhou Hong set up the chairs and tea table in the courtyard, and the Tieguanyin, which Roman usually drinks, was also soaked and put aside.

The Hongying family knelt at the front, tilted their heads arrogantly, and threw two 'you are dead' eyes at Mama Pei from time to time. Mama Pei was full of white hair, kneeling alone on the other side, hanging her head and holding her hands, looking very pitiful.

Before Roman could speak, the slaves and maids standing in five rows on the periphery felt sympathy for Mama Pei's family in their hearts.

These days, it is rumored all over the house: Hongying is Roman's person, it is Roman, it is Roman, but she climbed Pei Junjie's bed, and when Pei Junjie couldn't help it, she found out the truth that he poisoned his master.

Rumors are flying, some of them are not worth it - you see, name is more valuable than life, you are a yellow flower girl, so loyal to the lord, but the master has no protection. It's not worth it for you to ruin yourself.

Some sympathize with the Pei family - for the sake of the Wanzhaoyuan family, Mama Pei was so tired that she had white hair, and she simply held her heart out. But in order to seize power, didn't the master show no mercy and trampled her under his feet?

said that Pei Junjie was poisoned, but if it was really Pei Junjie who was poisoned, how could he arrange the red tassel cliché in advance? This is simply slander, and it is playing everyone like a fool.

There are also many people who are staring at Roman's words and deeds, and want to decide the path they want to take in the future based on her words and deeds-

It's hard to stand alone, even if it's a current person, you have to hold a group to get things done. The slave also wants to run for the future, if the master is unclear, he has to quickly find a way for himself.

For example, Mama Pei, although she is currently being pressed and beaten. But if the master is not good, she will turn over sooner or later. After all, there are still so many shops in your hands, and it is much more precious and rare to follow them in times of trouble.

Roman sat on the chair and didn't take the tea handed over by Zhou Hong. It is not like the three-hall trial, which also requires both sides to present their complaints, debate, and present evidence in court.

She looked at Hongying uprightly and asked her, "If it weren't for me, would you still be a daughter?" ”

Roman's tone was calm, and there was even a gentle smile on his face, as if he was asking, "What did you use for breakfast today?" ”

Hongying originally lowered her head, sobbed twice from time to time and pretended to be pitiful, ready to cry about her misfortune at any time. She was very satisfied that Roman had summoned the minions of the Manchu Mansion, and in full view of everyone, she didn't believe that Roman dared not help her.
