Chapter 170: The Butler's Key
Gu Jiangyuan stretched out his hand and touched his chin, and he also agreed with Gu Haomian's words in his heart.
"Yes, Jin'er is such an arrogant person, it is better for her to decide her marriage."
Gu Haomian was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood the meaning of Gu Jiangyuan's words, if the matter of Gu Jin's family today reached the ears of the saint, it would also reach the families of various courtiers in Bianliang.
She has a haughty temperament, and must not want outsiders to interfere in her marriage.
"What about Xiang'er?"
When Gu Jiangyuan heard Gu Haomian mention Gu Xiang, his brows furrowed almost imperceptibly: "To be honest, I don't want you, the third sister, to marry into the Xianwang Mansion." ”
"What did my father say?"
Gu Jiangyuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he collected all the essence in his eyes, and then said: "After returning to the dynasty, you have met King Xian many times, and you have also been to the banquet a year ago, can you detect that King Xian has a little friendship with Xiang'er?" is still the same sentence, do you think that with Xiang'er's temperament, An can sit firmly in the position of Princess Xian, if it is really just the position of Princess Xian, it is just ......"
Gu Haomian didn't ask any further, and he already knew what Gu Jiangyuan didn't say.
But now the prince above the court is undecided, King Xian and King Shu are fighting, who can ascend to the top is not yet known, if there is really a day when Lu Guitang wins, with Gu Xiang's talent, can he really sit firmly in the middle palace?
"But even though my father returned to the dynasty, he still had dealings with the Xianwang Mansion, if it wasn't for the marriage contract between Xiang'er and the Xianwang, what else could it be?"
"The marriage contract is just a bargaining chip at the beginning, you and my father and son have been in Shuobei for many years, and they are not clear about the situation above the court. My father originally wanted to look at the situation after returning to the dynasty, but with the battle of the Missing Moon Pool, King Xian did not abandon our chess pieces, but planned to take the state city, which is the appearance of the Ming Lord. ”
Gu Haomian listened to this, and after a pause, the two of them had already crossed the long street, and they were about to go home.
The conversation stopped, and when the father and son returned home, they found that the scene in the house was quite lively.
The maids and servants in the house kept running back and forth, but the direction of going was to Tingyuntang, Gu Jiangyuan and Gu Haomian walked in to see, and then they knew that the people in the house were giving things to the He family.
When even a small servant entered the Tingyun Hall, he shouted from afar: "Madam, the little one has just returned from the front of the Zuo Shilang Mansion of the Ministry of War, and the family has been copied, and the people of the Criminal Department have taken the Shilang Lord into prison, and the officials and relatives of the family have also been detained." ”
Before he finished speaking, another maid came in, and the matter was still the same: "Madam, the slave and maid went to the long street for a turn, and there were several officials and dependents in the alley who fled with the softness, and before the people left the city, the carriage was robbed by the people of the criminal department. ”
He Shi was surprised when she heard this, she didn't believe that there was really anything wrong with Gu Mansion last night, but she didn't want to inquire today according to Gu Haomian's words, Bianliang City actually had such a sky-shaking phenomenon.
Now the lord's house and the courtier's mansion are all like a group of people turning their backs on their horses, but only Marshal Gu's mansion is stable yesterday, He couldn't help but swallow his saliva, remembering the face of Feng Han when he came to the mansion yesterday.
She knew in her heart that those servants were just greedy for a few hundred taels of silver and caused the disaster of raiding the house, and the Gu Mansion lost thousands of taels, if Gu Jinli had not checked the deficit in the mansion before this, and ordered to fill all the deficits, I am afraid that there would be more people like herself among the high-ranking officials who are crying and begging for mercy in the streets and alleys today.
If it weren't for Gu Jin, the Gu family would rarely be stable today.
He Shi thought like this in his heart, but cold sweat broke out on his body, and he beckoned a little maid to come over and ordered: "You go to the evening window pavilion and bring a message to the second lady, just say that I can't think about what happened last night." ”
He Shi was worried in his heart, only feeling that Gu Jin was a little terrifying, and remembering her sneer at Gu Jin after Feng Han left last night, he felt a little uneasy in his heart.
The little maid nodded hurriedly and went out to the evening window pavilion.
Since Gu has been in charge of family affairs for more than two months, the people in the house are happy and sincere to her, and no one is not respectful.
"It seems that my mother has inquired clearly."
He Shi raised his head when he heard the sound, and saw Gu Jiangyuan and Gu Haomian returning from Mu Chenyang, but they had already returned from the next dynasty, and it was Gu Haomian who spoke out.
He's face was a little ugly, after all, she had lost face in front of her son, but Gu Jiangyuan had already walked into the seat, and she didn't dare to say anything inconsiderate.
He Shi thought about it for a while, and finally asked out his mouth full of doubts and concerns: "Master, now that our Dazhen's external troubles have just been resolved, it is the time to stabilize the world, isn't it also the time to employ people?" Why did the saint suddenly start to rectify the court, is this about to change the sky? ”
Gu Jiangyuan was shocked when he heard this, raised his eyelids and glared at He. "You are a woman, don't talk about the government in vain at home, won't it cause trouble if it spreads?"
He flattened his mouth, although he did not continue to ask, but he felt that Gu Jiangyuan's scolding made her lose face in front of her son.
After another quarter of an hour, the little maid who was sent to the Evening Window Pavilion by the He family came back.
But when I passed, I wasn't alone, but when I came back, I was followed by a little maid - it was Peihuan.
When He saw Peihuan, his brows furrowed, thinking that Gu Jin had sent this little girl over to find trouble.
"Why, my housewife has whispered to your young lady, why is your young lady still dissatisfied?"
Peihuan blinked, not understanding He's meaning, but he also knew that He must have misunderstood Gu Jin's intentions.
The little girl didn't say much, but took out a wooden box from her back and presented it to He.
"Madame misunderstood, my young lady asked the slave to return this thing to Madame."
He Shi stared at the wooden box in Peihuan's hand for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly reached out and took the box.
She recognized this thing, it was used by herself to hold the housekeeper's key and box in the past, and then it was given to Gu Jin along with the key inside, and now the box has been returned, could it be ......
He opened the wooden box with a happy face, and sure enough, he saw that the pair of keys he had in his heart were inside, and the keys shone golden in the sunlight, almost flashing He Shi's eyes.
Gu Jiangyuan groaned, pointed to the box and asked Peihuan: "This is?" ”
Peihuan hurriedly saluted and explained to the three people in the house: "Back to the old lady's words, the second lady said that since the accounts of the house have been checked clearly, she can't do anything about the housekeeper, and the old lady died, the young lady was sad in her heart, and she had no intention of taking care of the house, so she ordered the slave to return the key." The young lady also said that with a lady in the family, the family affairs in the future will definitely be taken care of in an orderly manner. ”
