The two gossiped for a long time, and Brother Yuan was still a little unsatisfied, but seeing that Yuan Bao'er had a tired face, he asked her to go back.

At this time, in the study of Zuo Xiang's mansion, Zuo Xiang sat at the top with a gloomy face, and his eldest son and two right-hand men sat below.

"Sir, did you see that guy this morning?"

"It's really deceitful."

"If it weren't for the adults' warning in advance, I wouldn't have been able to hold back in the morning."

One of the two cronies is the head of the household who was focused on by Yuan Baoer.

Zuo Xiang stared at him with a gloomy face, and then looked at the tea cup in front of him, it seemed that the blue and white porcelain had suddenly grown flowers, which was worth thinking about.

The eldest son looked at it carefully, and saw that his father didn't open his mouth like this, so he said: "Father has other plans for this matter, the two adults should be calm and don't be impatient, and in the future, the father will definitely have a plan." ”

The two cronies said this as a temptation, and when they saw that they couldn't find anything, they changed the topic interestingly.

But now Zuo Xiang has just died of a son, and he can't take revenge, so he is in a bad mood.

The two cronies said that it was all Gu Sheng's business.

Zuo Xiang was upset when he heard this, so he sent both of them away.

When the eldest son came back after sending people off, he saw that the light was still on in the study, and after thinking about it, he didn't go in, but went back to his yard.

Zuo Xiang's mood affects the atmosphere of the entire mansion, even as the eldest daughter-in-law.

Seeing Lang Jun coming back, she hurried to catch up.

"It's all settled?"

Da Langjun shook his head impatiently.

Among these people, he was the only one who knew why his father was unusual, and suddenly raised a spearhead against Gu Sheng.

This was a surprise to Zuo Xiang and was shattered by a thunderbolt before he arrived, but it was very good to him.

A family, even like his family, has limited capabilities.

As the eldest son, he is naturally skewed by resources.

Over the years, he has become accustomed to this, and takes it for granted.

But when he saw how his father dealt with Gu Sheng, and even did not hesitate to mobilize his secret power for this, Da Langjun's sense of crisis suddenly rose, and at the same time, he was extremely happy.

Glad that the Liu family is for the sake of face? Cover it up? I'm glad that the kid died early.

If you say this, you will inevitably be despised? So he could only think to himself in his heart.

Just thinking about the price my father paid for this? He was still very uncomfortable.

In his heart, all these powers should be his? But now that he has activated it, he has to use the same to let Gu Sheng and His Majesty notice.

If you're unlucky? The role of these people is only this one.

With him? That's a huge loss.

He felt uncomfortable, so he wanted to stay quietly, but his wife's room was not interesting, and he asked questions.

Da Langjun was annoyed by the question? Raised his feet and went to the concubine's room? The angry wife room rolled her eyes.

This box is flying and the dog is jumping, but the Gu family is very quiet.

Yuan Baoer went back to sleep, and then took her son to the garden to play.

In the evening, the mother and daughter took a beautiful hot bath and rested early.

Next? Yuan Baoer went to the Ministry of Industry to report.

When she left the Ministry of Works for a long time, many things were discussed and decided by several chief secretaries.

But something big? I still have to wait for her to come back before I can make a decision.

So, Yuan Bao'er, who had just been on duty, was busy in the dark? Didn't even find out when it was dark, or did the director want to go back? See she's still there? Come and help light the lights? Only then did I realize that the hour was not early.

"At this time, you can go back," Yuan Bao'er never had any shelf about the few that had to be used in front of her.

The supervisor saw the stacked official documents on her desk, and estimated that she would definitely not be able to go back for a while, so he said, "My lord, if you want to eat, I'll buy it." ”

Yuan Bao'er couldn't think of what to eat, so she said, "Just have some of it." ”

When the supervisor heard this, he went to buy Hu cakes and hot soup and brought them over.

Yuan Bao'er was indulging in work, and when she heard the sound, she only asked him to put it down.

The supervisor waited for a while, and saw that she had ignored herself for a long time, so she had to leave.

I don't know how long it took, but Yuan Bao'er finally remembered that she was hungry.

She put down her pen and went to the desk by the door.

At this time, the hot soup had already been cold and thickly condensed, even if Yuan Bao'er was not a picky person, he was not interested.

She took the cake and bit it as she went back.

After a few bites, she didn't know if it was supper or dinner, and she went back to work.

This is the middle of the night.

It was only when her family came to look for her that she remembered.

"Let's go," she said, closing the door and getting into the car with heavy steps.

As soon as I was leaving, I felt that something was wrong.

She stood still and looked around, easily noticing that someone was following her.

She told the driver to stop, got out of the car herself, "Come out." ”

She said.

There was silence behind him, and just when the coachman thought that Yuan Baoer had made a mistake, someone walked out slowly.

The coachman didn't know who the man was, but when he saw that Yuan Baoer didn't warn, he shrank back to the side of the carriage.

"Lord Liu," Yuan Bao'er arched his hand.

Lord Liu took a few steps forward and said in a low voice, "Who knows what you said yesterday?" ”

Yuan Bao'er raised her eyebrows, and Lord Liu said: "I don't mean anything else, I just want to ask, can they keep it secret." ”

Yuan Baoer seemed to be smiling.

Lord Liu drooped his shoulders in frustration, "I never thought that longevity would be such an identity. ”

"I," he said, not knowing how to express his complicated and embarrassed feelings.

Yuan Baoer quite understood.

Mr. Liu has values that are far superior to those of ordinary people, his views are very positive, his personality is also as kind as a child, and he has a strong sense of empathy for others.

But it was because of this that he was hit harder.

His beloved sister was bold and ridiculous when she was young, thinking that the respected elder was so disrespectful to the elderly, but the younger generation who really loved him had such a criticized life experience, and he was caught in it, and he must be worried about his wife and children.

"Brother Liu, don't worry, I am a very honest person, as long as you abide by the agreement, I will keep my mouth shut."

"And," Yuan Bao'er paused, "Brother Liu, have you ever thought about it, your Liu family is Qingming, and the Shen family is also a scholarly heirloom, why is Shen Changshou so ridiculous and unlearned?" ”

Lord Liu's face changed greatly, "Lord Yuan, what do you mean?" ”

Yuan Bao'er smiled, arched her hand at him, and walked away.

Lord Liu looked at his back with mixed feelings.

Years of trust in the family and elders collapsed in the evening, and at this time, Yuan Bao'er's thorn was like a dagger, piercing his heart and mouth while gurgling and bleeding, and at the same time, there was a trace of doubt.

He hesitated to go back to the house, and his wife came to meet him and served him to change his clothes.

Lord Liu looked at his virtuous and gentle wife, and said in a low voice, "You have worked hard all these years. ”

His wife has been married to him for many years, and it was the first time she heard this, and she was shocked.

Lord Liu said: "My family respects the rules, which is completely different from your mother's family, but since you got married, you have acted according to the rules, and there has never been a mistake or omission." ”

"It's rare."

His lady smiled, lowered her head slightly, and her scattered sideburns fell, covering her pretty eyebrows.

But at this time, Lord Liu didn't care about this at all, and he continued: "You have also educated the children very well, and even the gentlemen praise them. ”

His lady's smile deepened, and she wanted to say something.

Lord Liu held her down, "It's just that they are still young, and their schoolwork is really heavy, so why don't you reduce it by half, what do you think?" ”

His wife thought for a moment and asked him, "But what did the gentleman say?" ”

Lord Liu shook his head.

Lady: "You feel sorry for the children's hard work, it stands to reason that I should agree." ”

"But children are eager to learn, if you give them relaxation at this time, they will have fun, and it will be difficult to ask them to pay attention when they are older."

That is, disagree.

Lord Liu nodded thoughtfully, remembering the conversation with her brother-in-law back then.

He refused to learn to admonish his brother-in-law because of his longevity and playfulness, but his brother-in-law said that it is the nature of children to be playful and should not be restrained.

At that time, he was still thinking that his brother-in-law really loved longevity, but for many years, longevity did not learn and did not know how to do it, and he was messing with the same prodigal son every day.

He always felt sad, but he forgot about this little episode.

But now that I think about it, I understand a little bit.

It turned out that my brother-in-law knew everything from beginning to end, and he let everything go, so he let Changshou grow like that.

Thinking about the concubines under his knees, all of them are extraordinary and polite, Lord Liu shook his head self-deprecatingly.

The father thought that he had found someone to do the wrong, but he didn't know that the person had always known it clearly.

Not only did I know, but I also paid tribute one by one, but it was a pity for my sister.

The second half of my life is about to be lonely.

The lady sighed again and again when she saw Lord Liu, worried that he would be angry because of this, "Can you be angry with me? ”

Lord Liu glanced at her and said tentatively, "If I am angry, can you respond?" ”

The lady pondered for a moment, still shook her head, and then cautiously, "Are you really angry with me?" ”

Lord Liu finally smiled, shook his head, and sighed with some emotion, "Whose parents don't want Erlang to become a talent, you did the right thing." ”

The lady was relieved.

However, Lord Liu also determined that Changshou was really not a child of the Shen family, otherwise his brother-in-law would not treat him like this.

But he couldn't go to his brother-in-law to say this.

The dignified lady of the Liu family is indecent, has an affair with a man, and has a son, if this matter is spread, the heirs of their Liu family will not have to marry a wife.

Lord Liu sighed softly.

If it was more than ten years in the morning, he would probably be enthusiastic and rush to the Shen family.

But now, when he thinks about his children, that's all he can think about.

He called his wife's room, who was warming the bed, and asked her to prepare wine and food, and Yu Yu hid in the cubicle to drink.

On the other side, Yuan Baoer returned home.

Ma Tang prepared hot soup and hot water in the morning, and when he saw her coming back, he hurriedly served it.

Yuan Bao'er came back with official business, but after eating and drinking, she was already very tired, and she tried to hold on for a while.

However, my body couldn't bear it, and I rested helplessly after a while.

This state of affairs lasted for nearly five days, and it was only after the official business returned to the state it was in when it did not go south.

Yuan Baoer can finally have some rich time.

One day, she went back early, ready to accompany her son, and got the news.

Gu Sheng caught the rebel and was about to return to Beijing.

"Really?"

Yuan Bao'er was very happy, and hurriedly asked Ma Tang to pick up all the things that Gu Sheng was used to and what he was used to wearing.

It would probably take less than ten days to return from the Southland, but because of the boat, even if he led a large army, it would only be a day or two slower.

The entire mansion was busy because Gu Sheng was about to return.

Yuan Baoer snapped her fingers and counted the days.

Ten days is not a long time, but it is really not short.

Just when Yuan Bao'er finally looked forward to it and was only two days away, wondering if she was taking advantage of Xiu Mu to pick up Gu Sheng, news came from the mouse.

"Something happened to you?"

"What?"

Yuan Bao'er was startled and asked someone to find out.

But the cloth guard who passed the message only brought such a sentence on orders, and the others were vague and couldn't say why.

Yuan Bao'er was in a hurry and asked where the mouse was going, and he hurriedly chased after him.

The place where the rats drove was only fifty miles away from Kyoto, and if they rode fast horses, they could be reached in two hours.

Yuan Bao'er galloped all the way and arrived in a hurry.

The rat was in front of Gu Sheng, and some soldiers were patrolling around, and everything seemed to be normal.

"Why are you here?"

Gu Sheng was a little surprised when he saw Yuan Bao'er.

Yuan Bao'er glanced at the mouse and said with a smile: "I heard that you are nearby, I was a little anxious, so I wanted to come and have a look." ”

Gu Sheng glanced at the mouse.

The rat general smiled, Gu Sheng glanced at the soldiers around him, and didn't say anything more.

The three of them turned to the temporary camp, Yuan Bao'er lowered the curtain and said in a low voice: "What's the matter?" ”

Gu Sheng's face was gloomy.

The mouse whispered: "Hou Yong's chop eaten inside and out, and got people away." ”

"What?"

Yuan Baoer was shocked.

You must know that the rebel was ambushed, but it is a matter of concern to the government and the opposition.

If something goes wrong in this matter, even if Brother Yuan is eccentric, he can't stop Zuo from pounced.

The mouse said again: "I have sent people to pursue, but Hou Yong knows our road, but I am afraid"

He grimaced, clearly not very optimistic about the results.

Yuan Bao'er looked at Gu Sheng.

Gu Sheng's face was also bad, but his expression was more relaxed than that of a mouse.

"The whole world is not the emperor's land, as long as he is still here, he can always be found."

Yuan Bao'er lowered her eyelids and said in a low voice: "Shen Changshou is dead, although Zuo Xiang is dead, but this is only temporary, and the pain of losing a son is not trivial." ”

"Now he is retreating, but he is afraid that Qingming will be dusty, and if this matter cannot be resolved when you arrive in Kyoto, he will definitely take revenge."

Gu Sheng didn't know anything, but things were already like this, so he could only do his best.

Only to what extent can it be achieved can only depend on the will of God.

The three of them sat opposite each other, and they couldn't think of any way, so they could only go out and think about it.

Because of this incident, Gu Sheng cannot return to Beijing for the time being.

Mouse and Yuan Bao'er, one had to go back to arrange, and the other had to go back to duty, the three of them only met briefly and hurried back.

Yuan Baoer stepped on the curfew and went into the house.

Ma Tang hurriedly caught up and took Yuan Bao'er's whip.

Yuan Bao'er took two steps, stood still, and turned his head to go out.

"It's curfew," Ma Tang hurriedly reminded.

Yuan Bao'er rolled her eyes, turned her head back, changed into the clothes of an ordinary servant, and slipped out of the back door.

Ma Tang guarded the door worriedly and said in a low voice, "You have to be careful. ”

Yuan Bao'er nodded hurriedly and disappeared into the night.

The street market after the curfew was very cold, and Yuan Baoer covered all the way, dodging and sneaking through a few streets, and approached the destination smoothly.
