Even if Wang Ruolan is shallow, she has heard of Guo Linshan's name.

When her father was alive, he said that if Lord Guo Linshan was still there, how could Beidi dare to peek into Dayan's Yunshan Ten Prefectures?

"But I heard that when the previous dynasty fell, Guo Linshan was martyred and burned the Prime Minister's Mansion with his own hands." Wang Ruolan finally pulled out something from her memory, "Aren't all his true works buried in the sea of fire?" ”

"The birthday picture of Nanshan was given by Mr. Guo Linshan to his friend He Xianzhi." Gu Yaolian explained, "He gave away some calligraphy and paintings. ”

But the wind and rain bamboo and stone picture is Guo Linshan's proud work, using ochre and other painting materials to present, the meaning is lifelike.

It is said that Guo Linshan is very fond of him, and he has to take it out to watch it every night before going to bed.

Why the wind and rain bamboo and stone diagram that should have been destroyed in the fire with Guo Linshan appeared in the Ji family, this has to be explained by the Ji family in person.

No matter how much the current saint admires Guo Linshan, he will not allow the courtiers to have too much to do with the people of the previous dynasty.

Who is it that makes the saints of today suspicious?

"You...... Nonsense...... "Ji naturally didn't believe Gu Yaolian's words, "What wind and rain, bamboo and stone map?" How could my Ji family have such a thing? You must be mistaken, it's a facsimile. ”

Ji only knew that there was a picture of Nanshan birthday in his home, but he didn't know that there was also a picture of wind and rain, bamboo and stone.

Is Gu Yaolian lying, or is her father guarding against her daughter from beginning to end?

Ji was a little panicked.

"Even if it's a facsimile, it's rare." Wang Ruolan thought for a while before she said to Gu Yaolian, "Don't say that you want to go and see, my aunt also wants to have a long experience after she finds out." ”

After all, it was something left by Guo Linshan, and even if it was a facsimile, it could arouse the interest of the literati.

What's more, Gu Yaolian, who has been taught by Mr. Yue for many years?

"If you want to go, you and your aunt will be honest and your aunt will not let you go." Wang Ruolan said again, "There is a reason why my aunt doesn't let you go out these days. ”

"My aunt has never told you that the days in Yanjing City have not been peaceful, and there have been a lot of flowers. There have already been accidents with the noble daughters of several families. ”

Gu Yaolian only learned about this matter after he arrived at the Liu family in his previous life.

It is said that the subordinates brought by the Confucian family into Beijing hid the flowers, and these people specialized in plundering famous and noble women, and even the sixth lady of the Gao family, a member of the ministry, was lost in a temple fair.

There was a lot of commotion in this matter, but it was not resolved later.

No one knows where these noble ladies have gone, only that their lives and deaths are uncertain.

It is also because of this incident that the magnates in the capital even reject the Kong family, whether it is a flower banquet or a birthday banquet and other gatherings, they will not give the Kong family a post.

Later, as soon as Yingzhou had an accident, the ministers advised the current saint to let the Kong family return to Yingzhou to resist the east.

After the death of the entire Confucian family, the slanderous words in the capital did not stop.

In both lives, Gu Yaolian thought that the Kong family would not do such a thing.

"Hot water ready." Mother Zhong said to Wang Ruolan, "The second miss is frightened today, it is better to take a bath and change clothes and rest first, and talk about it tomorrow." ”

In fact, this matter is already obvious now.

Gu Yaolian's father has been stationed at the border all these years, and he has not remarried many years after his wife's death.

Because Dayan and Beidi successfully signed the Yunyan Alliance, Gu Changming will come back this time, and he will be more or less stained with light.

Maybe it will climb from the fifth-rank military general to the fourth-rank.

Gu Changming has no children under his knees, and he will definitely marry again after he comes back, if the new wife gives birth to a son, then the relationship between the Gu family and the Liu family will also be weak because of the existence of the new wife.

The Liu family wants to rely on Gu Changming to keep their wealth, either let the girl to be married in the family be Gu Changming's steproom, or let Gu Changming's daughter marry into the Liu family.

Only the relationship between in-laws can keep the two families from being estranged in the future.

No matter what it is, Wang Ruolan will not agree.

Gu Changming has always listened to Wang Ruolan, the righteous sister, so the Liu family's plans can only be carried out in secret.

Mother Zhong was also reminded by Gu Yaolian, and only then did she remember Xiangwu, Xiangtan and Xiangwei, all three of which were all maids sent by the Liu family to serve Gu Yaolian.

Mother Zhong has also trained/taught these maids, except for Xiangwei, who is slightly dull and clumsy, the other two are very smart and clever.

These three maids have been serving by Gu Yaolian's side, and they have been guarding themselves for many years.

It is precisely because they have never done anything out of the ordinary that Mother Zhong later promoted Xiangwu to a first-class maid, preparing to wait for Gu Yao to find them another good family affair, which can be regarded as a full love between master and servant.

I don't know, something happened tonight.

When Xiangwu came back to say these words, everyone was in a daze, and they never suspected that Xiangwu was lying.

Although Mother Zhong looks down on the Liu family's style, she has to say that Liu Yu's appearance is indeed outstanding.

After Gu Yaolian went to bathe, Wang Ruolan personally sent the Ji family out of Yongqing Pavilion.

Ji had too many doubts in his heart, so he didn't entangle with Wang Ruolan too much, but left in a hurry.

"Ahem—ahem—"

Wang Ruolan skillfully took out a handkerchief from her cuff and covered her mouth to prevent the cough from being too loud and disturbing the people in the house.

Through the weak candlelight under the corridor, Mother Zhong saw Wang Ruolan's heart-rending cough, but she still endured it.

"Ma'am." Mother Zhong's eyes suddenly turned red, "It's cold at night, you hurry back to the house and rest!" ”

The young lady who used to be able to wield the Mo knife like a living creature is now frail and cold, and she is riddled with illness.

"I ...... cough ......" Wang Ruolan coughed for a while, feeling a little able to catch her breath before saying, "It's not that you don't know, I'm old and out of the way." ”

"Pity was frightened, and when he came back, he was wronged, and this child was afraid that he was frightened."

"If I cough again, she'll be worried that she won't be able to sleep well all night."

Wang Ruolan stood firm and hid the handkerchief in her cuffs, "Don't let her go back to Chang'an Courtyard tonight, just rest here with me." ”

"Okay." Mother Zhong nodded, and said to Wang Ruolan, "I'm afraid that this girl Xiangwu can't be sent away, I'm afraid that she won't be strict and talk nonsense." Xiangtan and Xiangwu have a very good relationship, and they can't go back to Chang'an Courtyard to serve. ”

"Although Xiangwei is stupid, she is also a protector, I will ask her later if she has anything to do with tonight's incident."

Mother Zhong knew that Wang Ruolan was afraid that she would not be able to see through the reason for it for a while, so she carefully told Wang Ruolan what she saw tonight.

"Miss Biao now lives in the Liu family, so the Liu family also wants to take the second miss back, saying that the blood between the sisters is thicker than water, so that they can reunite as soon as possible." Mother Zhong said, "The Liu family has never thought of the second miss for so many years, and now she is so positive, I am afraid it is because of General Gu." ”

"They don't want to take Haruki back." Wang Ruolan coughed a few more times, her voice furious, "Do they think I'll forget, how they treated Yao Pian in the past?" ”

"Ma'am...... Be quiet. Mother Zhong hurriedly reminded Wang Ruolan, "Don't mention this again." ”

"The Liu family is the second lady's maternal grandfather after all. Moreover, Miss Biao is still living in Liu's house, so she can't tear her face. ”

Wang Ruolan looked at Mother Zhong and sighed heavily, "Tomorrow, you will send someone to return the incense mist and sandalwood to the Liu family early tomorrow, and you don't need to say anything else." ”

"If the Liu family dares to fight the idea of Haruka again, even if it tears his face and makes trouble in front of the queen, I am not afraid."

Mother Zhong smiled wryly and nodded, "Yes." ”

The two men talked a little more before entering the house.

It was getting late, and Wang Ruolan didn't want to invite Imperial Doctor Liang to come over again, so she personally served Gu Yaolian to sleep.

Who knew that just after the child, she seemed to hear her husband's voice in a daze.

"Ruolan." Pei Yu's voice was very soft, "Did you sleep?" ”

Wang Ruolan sat down in shock, turned her head to look at the man not far away, "You...... Aren't you on duty tonight? Why did you come back all of a sudden? ”
