At this time, Wang Ruolan and Xu Yan were sitting far away, but their eyes were not looking at each other, but they really looked like lovers.

It's just that Yu Mingxiang's gaze is a little not good.

Although the Yu family's East Mansion is an official eunuch, Yu Mingzhu's father is only a minor official in the northwest border, so naturally she can't find a good husband.

Gu Huaiming listened with relish, and Yu Mingzhu couldn't help but joke: "I thought that only women liked this kind of thing, but I didn't expect men to be interested." ”

Gu Huaiming smiled and said, "It's not that I'm interested in these things, but because these words were said by Madame, I like to listen to them." ”

Yu Mingzhu coughed twice and looked away.

Dye Dong whispered: "Uncle is really getting better and better at talking. ”

Ran Chun poured wine for the two of them, and today they drank sorghum wine, which had a different taste with Chongyang cake.

This time, the Tangshan Chongyang Banquet gathered a lot of Suzhou lifters, and Yuan Mei, a great talent in Hangzhou, came here at the request of the Liang prefect.

It's a little embarrassing to say, this Yuan Mei just wrote a poem a few days ago to satirize Gu Huaiming, and now she is sitting at the same table with Gu Huaiming, which is really embarrassing.

Sure enough, as soon as Yuan Mei sat down, she snorted coldly.

A pair of eyes hated to dig a piece of meat from Gu Huaiming's body, so he stood up again before he sat down, and sneered: "I, Yuan Mei, am not ashamed to sit with such a young person in the West Seat. ”

Yuan Mei is in her early twenties this year, very thin, with a beard, and a good appearance, but she has a pair of fox eyes, and her whole temperament is unusually outstanding.

Yu Mingzhu couldn't help but look at him more, that Yuan Mei didn't like Yu Mingzhu very much because she hated Gu Huaiming.

Governor Han said with a smile: "Yuan Xiaoyou, today is Chongyang Yaji, don't talk about state affairs. ”

Yu Mingzhu thought that this Yuan Mei would also give Governor Han some face, but this Yuan Mei said directly: "Governor Han, as the governor of the two provinces, is concerned about the safety of Liang, but he said here that he doesn't talk about state affairs, so I shouldn't come here today!" ”

This Yuan Mei stood up and raised her feet to leave, but Liang Kuan, who was sitting on the side, hurriedly stood up and said, "Brother Yuan, why are you here, hurry up and sit down." ”

Yuan Mei was promoted in the past year, and then the Jinshi has not been successful, and finally simply did not take the test, and wrote poetry and painting in Hangzhou, and because of her talent in this area, she has become famous in the past four or five years, and has gradually become the leader of young literati in Suzhou and Hangzhou.

In Yu Mingzhu's understanding, the literati are all arrogant.

"The prefect doesn't have to force me to stay, I won't sit at the same table with the young people."

Yuan Mei's voice just fell, and the people at the Tangshan Chongyang Banquet stood up one after another, ready to leave the table, Gu Huaiming's situation at this time can no longer be described as miserable.

Although these lifters had packed up their things and were ready to leave, their movements were very slow, not neat at all, and they obviously didn't really want to leave.

Everyone looked at Gu Huaiming, presumably wanting Gu Huaiming to go, the reader is like this, the things in his heart are so bad, but he doesn't say it directly.

Gu Huaiming treated it indifferently, and he said softly: "Madam, I'm afraid I can't spend Chongyang with you today." ”

Gu Huaiming stood up and was about to leave, but Yu Mingzhu grabbed Gu Huaiming's wrist.

"I finally climbed up, why do you want to go? And we spent money to enter this Tangshan Double Ninth Festival, why can't we stay? ”

Yu Mingzhu casually looked at the scholars standing up around her.

According to common sense, in this kind of place, it would not have been a woman's turn to speak, but because of Yu Mingzhu's reputation for being beautiful and rich, these people actually looked at Yu Mingzhu.

Yu Mingzhu felt that she should say something, she stood up and looked at Yuan Mei, and said loudly: "Mr. Yuan, you said that my husband is a young man, but I feel that what you said is not right. ”

Yuan Mei frowned slightly, and said in a cold voice: "Mrs. Gu, Gu Huaiming is your husband, I don't care about you, but there is no need to say anything about it." ”

Yu Mingzhu sneered, "Mr. Yuan won't let me say it, I want to say that the people of Daliang, the military and the people, the ministers and soldiers all think that they have lost their land because of a young man, how many people are there in the sixteen towns in the northwest?" And how many troops? Why can't Daliang's army hold it, and why does Datong Town hold on for a month without reinforcements? ”

The Sixteen Towns in the Northwest fell for two years, and most of the scholars were tired of hearing the details and key points.

One of the scholars said in a loud voice: "If it weren't for the Gu family opening the city gate for their own selfish interests, the big town would definitely be able to defend it!" An ignorant woman like you is just a private husband, why bother talking about family and country affairs here! ”

Yu Mingzhu's beauty buff lost its strength under the excitement of the crowd.

Yu Mingzhu glanced at Gu Huaiming, the look in Gu Huaiming's eyes was very indifferent, and he didn't seem to be excited because Yu Mingzhu spoke for him.

"Even if it can be defended, the annexation of land in the northwest, the salt merchant and horse politics, and the bandit army, which one is a sign of long-term peace and stability? It's funny to always blame one person for things. ”

Yu Mingzhu's makeup today is very light, and a pair of extremely charming peach blossom eyes are particularly prominent, and her eyes are full of disdain.

Han Qi, the old guy, said at the right time: "Just as the victory of the war does not depend on the individual's martial arts and bravery, but on the coordination and comprehensive ability of the country, the defeat of a war is definitely not something that can be controlled by one person, and the things of the year are not a foregone conclusion, Yuan Xiaoyou can wait and see." ”

Han Qi has said such things, these scholars naturally don't have anything to say, after all, they are the governors of the two provinces, and most of them are going to become the first assistant in the future, and now that they are offended, there is no way out.

It's just that Yuan Mei was still unwilling, he said coldly: "What the governor said is really light, the war will indeed not fail because of one person, but the people of Datong Town in the northwest really died because of him, how can this be said?" ”

After the town of Datong was broken, the Simon people ordered the city to be slaughtered for three days.

Yu Mingzhu looked at Gu Huaiming, and she saw a thick shadow in Gu Huaiming's eyes.

There are some things that you can't forget.

In the last period of Yu Mingzhu's life in her previous life, she vaguely understood Gu Huaiming.

In the battle of Datong Town in the northwest of the year, there was indeed a hidden secret, but the people of Datong Town really died because of him.

He never had an easy life, and the fact that he did his best in his forties may not be the so-called loyalty and patriotism, but that he really wanted to prove something with this.

Dye Xia Dye Qiu took Jiang Ru to come here, and Dye Qiu happened to hear Yuan Mei's words.

Dye Qiu's dark eyes stared at Gu Huaiming deadly.

Gu Huaiming, who had not spoken, suddenly looked up at Yuan Mei, and he said in a low voice: "Mr. Yuan's words, such a sin is to die thousands of times, and it is not a pity to die, but if a person dies, he can't do anything, and there are still many things to do." ”
