Gu Jiao didn't know, she was just guessing.

That token was picked up by Xue Ningxiang from the place where Xiao Liulang fainted, and the beautiful monk and the third princess both said that it was the token of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, so there should be no mistake.

This person is also called Young Master Xiao Liulang.

A series of information is combined, and there is the sentence that asked Steward Liu earlier.

Steward Liu came to her this time, intending to persuade the young master to return to the mansion by her hand, he didn't intend to hide his identity, so he answered truthfully: "That's right, the young master is the young master of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion." ”

Gu Jiao digested it: "Oh." ”

Oh?

Steward Liu wondered, isn't it the first time you've heard of it? This reaction is too calm!

Gu Jiao is not a person who values identity, and it makes no difference to her whether Xiao Liulang is the master or a subordinate of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion.

However, she did not know anything.

"Since he is the young master of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, why is he unwilling to go back with you?"

It's not that she deliberately inquired about each other's secrets, but that people came to the door, and she couldn't sell her father-in-law unclearly.

Steward Liu sighed: "It's a long story at this time, if the young lady is not in a hurry, can you go to the tea shop and sit down." ”

There was a tea shop next to it, Gu Jiao didn't refuse, and went with Steward Liu.

Steward Liu said secretly, this young lady is not very good-minded, so she just left with a stranger? Don't even have to look at his token or anything?

If Manager Liu knew Gu Jiao's ability, he should be worried about himself.

Steward Liu only didn't care about Gu Jiao, but he didn't have any malice, and he didn't think about breaking up the couple.

I believe that Hou Ye will not do this.

The Hou Ye himself is strong enough, and he does not need to rely on his son to marry and consolidate the relationship between the Xuanping Hou Mansion and the major families.

As for whether the identity is worthy or not......

Although she grew up in the countryside, she is a decent daughter of the Hou Mansion, worthy of this young master...... Barely make ends meet!

Steward Liu asked for a wing room on the second floor.

Facing the street, you can see the endless flow of Xuanwu Street when you open the window.

The two sat down face to face, and Steward Liu asked, "Does the young lady like Biluochun or Longjing tea?" ”

"It doesn't matter." Gu Jiao said.

Steward Liu smiled and made a pot of Longjing tea: "This is this year's new tea." ”

Gu Jiao was not interested in tea, so she drank it with some cold water.

She was indeed thirsty.

Steward Liu was dumbfounded.

The young master is a wonderful, and the young lady he married is not far behind.

"Let's get down to business." Gu Jiao said lightly.

"Huh!" Steward Liu came back to his senses, sighed, and told Xiao Liulang's life experience, "Actually...... The young master is the illegitimate son of the Hou Ye. ”

This matter has to start from eighteen or nineteen years ago, when Gu Houye went down to the south of the Yangtze River to control the water.

That year, there was a major flood in the south of the Yangtze River, which led to the destruction of thousands of acres of fertile land and the displacement of people, which was not only a natural disaster, but also a man-made disaster.

"The silver used by the imperial court to build the embankment was embezzled by local officials, and they cut corners on the embankment, which failed to stop the flood and caused irreparable damage."

At that time, Hou Ye was not as powerful as he is now, His Majesty sent him to Jiangnan to investigate the truth about the embankment, and the local head snake tried to bribe Hou Ye to hide the truth.

Hou Ye did not live with their snakes and rats, but they retaliated against him, and he was stabbed seven or eight times by assassins on the way back to Beijing.

"I remember it was near Song County." Steward Liu recalled.

Steward Liu followed Xuanping Hou as a young man, and he was one of the few people who accompanied him to fight half of the country, but he was sent by Hou Ye to other places for more than ten years on the way, and he was recalled by Hou Ye last year.

"There is no hospital in that place, after Hou Ye was injured, he found a nearby Langzhong, and because of his serious injury, he had to live in Langzhong's house."

That Langzhong's medical skills are not very skillful, although he saved his life, but he left the root of Xuanpinghou's illness, of course, this is a later story.

When Xuanping Hou was recuperating from his injuries at Langzhong's house, there was a family of three living next door, the male owner was a gambler and a drunkard, and the youngest son was only a few years old.

Xuanpinghou can hear the voices of men beating and scolding women and children almost every day, not enough, this is someone else's housework, Xuanpinghou is not easy to manage.

Unexpectedly, once, the man gambled and lost the child to others, the woman hugged the man's thigh and begged the man not to take the child away, and the man punched and kicked the woman, almost beating the woman to death.

The Marquis of Xuanping next door couldn't bear it, and he was young and vigorous at that time, so he rushed over and cut the man down with a sword.

The man died of serious injuries and died.

The woman became a widow.

Xuanping Hou saw that she was pitiful and gave her a little silver.

It is also a coincidence that Langzhong's relatives are victims of the flood, and they dragged their families to join Langzhong.

Lang Zhong's family has no place to live, and Xuanping Hou has to treat his injuries and can't go too far.

"If Engong doesn't dislike it, come and live in my house." So says the woman.

After that, there is no need for Liu to say anything, Gu Jiao can also make up for it by herself.

"Master Hou stayed there for half a year until his injuries were completely healed. Hou Ye asked her if she wanted to go to Beijing with him, and she was a little hesitant. Hou Ye didn't like to force people, so he gave her a token and told her that if she figured it out, she could go to the capital to find her at any time. ”

Steward Liu sighed: "Oh, Master Hou...... I still don't know much about women. ”

Gu Jiao is not a party and does not make an evaluation.

Steward Liu said: "This farewell is many years, if it weren't for the young master who came to Hou Ye four years ago with that token and Hou Ye's clothes back then, Hou Ye didn't know that she was pregnant, and secretly gave birth to their son." ”

Gu Jiao asked, "You mean, Xiao Liulang only went to the capital four years ago?" ”

Steward Liu: "That's right. ”

Gu Jiao: "Has he lived in the capital for a long time?" ”

Steward Liu shook his head regretfully: "No, the timing of the young master's arrival is not very good, there have been several murders in the capital, and the Hou Ye has not returned to the criminal department all the time." finally returned to the Hou Mansion...... But something big happened, the little Hou Ye died, and that was Hou Ye's only son-in-law. Hou Ye suffered a great blow, and all the idle people and others were gone. The young master handed over the things to a subordinate of the Hou Mansion, and after a long time, the subordinate reported it to the Hou Lord. At that time, the young master had already left the capital. ”

Gu Jiao paused: "So...... He only lived in the capital for a few months? ”

Liu Guanshui recalled: "It should be less than a month. ”

Gu Jiao thoughtfully: "Oh." ”

Steward Liu said: "The young master's mother only told the young master about her life experience before she died, and the young master and his half-brother entered Beijing to look for his father, who expected that his father did not see him, and his brother accidentally came into contact with a leprosy patient, and the young master was worried that his brother would be caught on the leprosy mountain so he quickly left the capital with his brother." ”

Gu Jiao nodded: "I see." ”

"Huh?" Steward Liu didn't understand what this sentence meant.

Gu Jiao looked at him: "You go on." ”

Steward Liu said: "After that, Master Hou sent people around to inquire about the whereabouts of the young master, and it was not until last year that he found out that the young master was studying at Tianxiang Academy in the county seat. Hou Ye asked me to bring the young master back, I persuaded the young master many times, but the young master couldn't let go of those old things, and refused to go back to my house for a long time. ”

Gu Jiao believed that what he said was true, but it was unknown if there was anything he didn't say.

Sometimes, distorting a fact doesn't require lying, just telling a little bit of the truth.

Moreover, no one can guarantee that what Steward Liu has learned is the whole truth.

She believes that four years ago, there was indeed a Xiao Liulang who entered Beijing to find his father.

But, is this Xiao Liulang really Bi Xiao Liulang?

Gu Jiao took a sip of tea and spread her hands and said, "It's a pity, if he doesn't want to go home, there's nothing I can do." ”

No, after listening to it for a long time, you just told me this?

Shouldn't you weep bitterly, grieve for your father-in-law's life, and grieve for the fact that your father and son can't recognize each other?

Do you still have a little bit of the consciousness of a little village girl!

Steward Liu is in a hurry, and the sympathy card is not good, so go to the king to bomb!

He turned his heart sideways and said, "Do you know that the young master is being bullied in the Guozijian?" What is Guozijian? I don't know how many powerful people in the capital come here to study, and Xuezheng and the scholars are tougher than one backstage. It is simply impossible for the young master to contend with these people on his own! Even if the young lady doesn't think about herself, she should think about it for the young master! Hou Ye didn't dislike him for being lame, and if he was willing to recognize him back, he should go back obediently. As the young master of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, let alone the Guozijian, he can walk sideways in the entire capital! ”

Gu Jiao's expression finally changed slightly, but it was not moved, but endless murderous and cold.

She stood up and looked condescendingly at Steward Liu, who was sitting on the cushion: "Tell your family master, my own father-in-law, I will protect it myself!" ”

Someone actually bullied her father-in-law?

Well, that's good!

Gu Jiao returned to Bishui Hutong.

Xiao Liulang had already washed his soiled clothes, and there was no trace of bullying on his face.

Gu Jiao looked at the set of clothes that were spread out in the cold wind, and her eyes cooled down little by little.

The next day, Gu Jiao found Feng Lin.

Feng Lin was surprised: "Xiao Jingkong said that you are looking for me, what's the matter?" ”

Gu Jiao said her intention.

Feng Lin's eyes became dodgy: "That...... Rokuro won't let me tell you what happened to Kunikoji. ”

Gu Jiao didn't speak, just looked at him so fixedly.

How much Feng Lin hated her in the past, and how much he likes her now, it is not the love between men and women, but the general relationship with relatives.

Feng Lin was finally defeated, and sighed: "Okay, there is indeed such a thing, Liulang...... offended Zheng Siye. ”

It's not clear how to offend Feng Lin, not many people know about Xiao Jingkong and Qin Chuyu, Liulang doesn't say it himself, Feng Lin has nowhere to ask.

Xiao Liulang is now an honor student who is not clumsy, otherwise he would not be able to be admitted to the Spontaneous Hall.

However, he took the penultimate place in the monthly exam, and I heard that it was corrected by Zheng Siye.

Others may not know Xiao Liulang's strength, Feng Lin and Lin Chengye have taken his class, and they never believe that his grades will suddenly collapse like this.

Feng Lin said: "Lin Chengye is asking me, is Zheng Siye wearing small shoes for Liulang?" There are also Wang Qi, Chen Duo, Li Du, Zhao Hai ......"

Feng Lin reported a series of names, all of whom were people who had made Xiao Liulang sad in the past few days.

Gu Jiao wrote down their names one by one in a small notebook.

Several of them were coerced, and Gu Jiao crossed out their names, and in the end there were four names left - Luo Du, Zhao Rui, Zhou Fengping and Zheng Siye.

Li Du and Zhao Rui are prison students, and Zhou Fengping is a scholar and politician.

The Spontaneous Hall is the first of the six halls, and generally speaking, no one will casually bully the heads of the students of the Spontaneous Hall.

Zhou Fengping is Zheng Siye's minion, Zheng Siye is about to become the new sacrificial wine, and he is expected to become the next Siye, and he is the first to look forward to Zheng Siye.

As for Luo Du and Zhao Rui, these two have some backgrounds in the capital: one is the young master of the Luo Guo Mansion, and the other is the youngest son of the Ministry of Works, that is, the top boss of Gu Houye.

But in Gu Jiao's eyes, this is not a problem.

No one can bully her husband.

Gu Houye is in the important stage of the annual assessment, racking his brains every day how to please his boss, what he never knows is that as soon as he gave people a generous gift here, his daughter beat someone's youngest son into a pig's head.

On the way back to the house, Gu Houye looked at the sky with a puzzled face, did he still feel unreliable after giving so many gifts to Mao, but he felt like a catastrophe was coming?

This feeling became even stronger after Gu Jiao finished beating the young master of the Luo Guo Mansion.

Gu Houye's back was cold.

He didn't do anything, but Mao felt like he was going to finish?

After Gu Jiao beat Zhou Fengping, the academic administrator of Guozijian, Gu Houye stuffed his teeth when he drank water in the mansion!

Panicked, panicked.

In the dark alley, Gu Jiao took out a small notebook and crossed out the third name, Zhou Fengping.

His gaze fell on the last name, and the black-clothed Gu Jiao hooked the corners of his lips viciously.
