Chapter 9 Return to the Hou Mansion
When Gu Nian returned to the house, it was already late.
As soon as she got off the carriage, she was pressed by Qiu Tong and his party and locked up in her yard.
"Miss, it's not that Qiu Tong won't help you, there's really no way!" Qiu Tongtuo helped Gu Nian and whispered. "You can't fight with the master, have you forgotten that when you were a child, you ran away from home and broke your arm, and you were grounded in the house for more than a few months?"
"Forget it!" Gu Nian said happily.
Before she entered the courtyard, she clearly saw Gu Hou inviting the third prince into the mansion, presumably now her father already knew what happened tonight.
It's so good, I'm so happy, I don't have to go into the palace, and I can find a way home in this courtyard with peace of mind!
Gu Nian smiled happily when he thought of this.
Qiu Tong looked at Gu Nian with a strange expression. Why is this young lady so happy all of a sudden? Could it be that this time I ran away from home, not breaking my arm, but breaking my brain?
Something happened! Qiu Tong thought to herself, should you report to the master immediately, and by the way, invite a doctor to the young lady to come over and have a look. And you can't invite an ordinary doctor, you have to invite a famous doctor in Beijing, the imperial doctor of the palace, this young lady laughed for no reason It's too scary.
In the main hall, Gu Hou was talking to Yu Jingyan.
Gu Hou made a big salute: "The old minister thanks His Royal Highness the Third Prince, so that he was able to find the disobedient daughter of the old minister." ”
Yu Jingyan waved his hand, "Gu Houye, you are too polite." Yu Gong, you are a subordinate to the court, Yu private, you are my elder. How could you be so courteous to me? ”
He held Gu Houye's hand and slowly helped him up.
"Little girl, I didn't cause you any trouble." Gu Hou asked cautiously. He knew that his quirky daughter might be doing something strange.
"No, no." Yu Jingyan denied it, but after thinking about it again, he asked curiously: "Master Gu, do you know that the third girl of your family is devoted to Yu Zeyan?" ”
"Nian'er?" Gu Houye's eyes widened, "His Royal Highness? ”
He turned his head to look at Gu Duo, who shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.
"You're not joking, Third Highness." Gu Houye asked incredulously.
"She said it herself, and I and I were both present." Yu Jingyan didn't intend to cover up for Gu Nian, so he gave it all out. He told Gu Houye everything in the private room of the inn at night, in every detail.
He spoke very vividly, so vivid that Gu Houye couldn't believe that this was the truth.
If Gu Nian was present at this time, she would definitely praise Yu Jingyan when she heard it, it turned out that Yu Jingyan was the best storyteller, he should change careers to talk about cross talk, and he would definitely be prosperous.
In fact, even if Yu Jingyan didn't speak vividly, Gu Houye couldn't believe that this was the truth.
A girl who has not yet left the cabinet, before such a big thing as His Majesty's draft, confessed in front of His Royal Highness the Prince in the private room of the inn in front of another man. This other man is still the third prince who is the most favored by His Majesty today.
This is explosively informative.
He quietly held on to the table, and his mind was determined. Gu Duo hurriedly ordered his subordinates to bring hot tea, Gu Hou took the teacup, took a sip, and then looked as usual again.
As the saying goes, ginger is still old and spicy, and fox is still old and fine.
has been mixed in the court for so many years, and if he doesn't have this ability to deal with it, wouldn't it be in vain.
Yu Jingyan finished speaking, and specially added: "Gu Houye, you should also know the rumors that you chose to say, I think you should persuade Gu Nian to change people." ”
Somehow, Yu Jingyan wanted to add one more sentence: Can you change it to me? But he stopped.
Gu Hou Ye thought to himself, my Gu Zhan's daughter likes Yu Zeyan, but she was rejected. This kid is so angry. In addition to the identity of a son, he is not a martial artist, where does he still dislike my daughter?
He thought about it again, and that's right, don't you like men.
Gu Hou bowed his hand to Yu Jingyan: "Thank you for this matter, Your Royal Highness the Third Prince." Since Nian'er is still in the boudoir, I hope that His Royal Highness the Third Prince will understand and not tell others about this matter. ”
Yu Jingyan returned the salute: "Gu Hou is serious, Jing Yan will definitely not live up to Master Hou's entrustment." ”
Gu Nian stayed in the house very boringly, so she thought of a way to go out, but she was arranged at the door, and she was not allowed to go out no matter how she begged. The little guy said, this is the master's order. Gu Hou took strict care of Gu Nian.
After Gu Houye sent Yu Jingyan away, he went to Gu Nian's courtyard alone.
Before he entered the door, he calmed down, thinking that his daughter must be uncomfortable if she was rejected, and she couldn't get angry straight, she should overcome rigidity with softness, and move people with reason.
As soon as Gu Houye pushed the door in, he saw Gu Nian who was eating and drinking.
This night was a toss for Gu Nian, and he was tired and hungry. Gu Nian thought to himself, if you can't get out, then stay here, house arrest is better than hard ban, and you have to eat.
So she instructed the little guy to bring some pastries from the kitchen, and it would be better if there was a hot meal.
So when Gu Hou came in, Gu Nian was nibbling on hot chicken legs and two steamed buns.
The door of this room was suddenly opened, and Gu Nian was startled. She was surprised: "Dad? What are you doing here. ”
Gu Hou didn't know what to say, all the comfort he had prepared was swallowed with the scent of the chicken legs, and only anger was left in his stomach.
"You still have the face to eat here!" Gu Hou's face pulled and scolded.
"Dad, you know everything?" Gu Nian asked.
"I know it all, don't try to hide it from me! His Royal Highness the Three Princes have all told me! Gu Hou sat down at the table with a cold face.
That's great. Gu Nian thought to himself. I don't want to hide it from you, I just want you to know, it's best that the old emperor also knows, so I don't have to enter the palace!
But she can't be happy now, she still has to act.
So she pulled her face and pretended to be sad: "I'm sorry, Dad, I know it's wrong." ”
Gu Hou is not a child, where will he be deceived by this change of face. Are you in the mood to eat chicken thighs one second, and you're sad the next? He didn't believe it at all. He snorted coldly and put his face over, "My Gu family's face has been lost by you!" How will you let your father face the three princes and the son in the future? ”
"Dad," Gu Nian plucked up his courage and said, "Isn't this just right, you don't let me enter the palace to go to the draft, won't I have to look at them in the future?" If His Royal Highness the Third Prince tells His Majesty, it will be bad. ”
Gu Hou snorted coldly: "His Royal Highness the Third Prince promised me that he would not tell others about this matter. You also put away your belly thoughts for me, and enter the palace to participate in the draft with peace of mind. ”
He said so, and departed.
"Daddy???"
This plot was not expected by Gu Nian, and she tried her best to save it: "Dad, you really don't think about it anymore?" ”
"That's it!" Gu Hou didn't hesitate to leave, and didn't give Gu Nian a chance to speak at all.
He ordered the servant to lock Gu Nian in the house, and ordered someone to take strict care of him, and did not allow Gu Nian to step out of the door. Qiu Tong was also left outside to prevent Gu Nian from having a helper of "prison escape".
