Chapter Seventy-Seven: Allegiance
Li Congxin sat up, cleared his throat, and said to the outside world: "Take him to the study, I'll come later." ”
Gu Huanyi woke up, his face turned red, and he asked in a low voice, "It's late at night, are you still busy?" ”
Li Congxin nodded and said: "Yang Xin's identity can't be exposed, he can only come at night, since you are here today, let's meet him together." ”
After calming down, Li Congxin helped Gu Huanyi arrange her clothes and hair, and then took her to the study together.
After Li Chengxu was imprisoned by Dali Temple, the people who served around him were also controlled.
Li Congxin no longer needed Yang Xin lurking beside Li Chengxu, so he took the opportunity to help him get out.
Now Yang Xin is no longer dressed as a coachman, and has changed into clean and crisp black clothes, but he is also a young man with a good appearance.
He was slightly surprised to see that Gu Huanyi was still beside Li Congxin late at night, but he didn't dare to look more, and immediately saluted.
Li Congxin came out of Dali Temple today and was in a hurry to find Yang Xin, because he had something to tell him.
"My father will enter Beijing next month to participate in the full moon ceremony of the little prince, you quietly go to Langzhou to pick him up, don't go with the convoy of the palace, and enter Beijing first. Be careful to disguise yourself so that you don't get noticed. ”
The matter of King Ming's entry into Beijing was a knot for Li Congxin.
In the previous life, King Ming had an accident on the way to Beijing, and although the reason and time were different this time, Li Congxin was still worried.
Although he used Yang Xin's spying to find out the details that King Xian had placed next to his father, he was afraid that King Xian would have other conspiracies.
Yang Xin didn't say much, and after taking Li Congxin's token, he retreated.
Gu Huanyi heard that Li Congxin had this arrangement, and asked, "Will it be dangerous for King Ming to enter Beijing?" If that's the case, you don't have to take this risk just to propose. ”
Li Congxin said: "Li Chengxu is about to go, King Xian has lost his beloved son, and he will definitely seek revenge, I just take precautions." ”
Gu Huanyi frowned and asked, "It's a matter of life and death for King Ming, is Yang Xin reliable?" What did you promise him? ”
In Gu Huanyi's impression, Yang Xin was just a thief in Kangcheng, Li Congxin met and subdued him by chance, and he didn't know why he was so serious, not only arranged him by Li Chengxu's side, but now even King Ming's life was entrusted to him.
Li Congxin said: "Yang Xin is loyal to me because of you and your father. ”
Gu Huan was puzzled and asked, "Where do you start with this?" ”
Li Congxin told Gu Huanyi that Yang Xin was originally a scout soldier of Gu Jiajun in the early years, and after his parents died of illness, a pair of younger siblings were sold by his uncle.
"The fugitive slave can't settle down, so he can only become a thief and wander around the market with his younger siblings. But not long after, his younger brother was seriously ill, and they didn't dare to seek medical treatment, so they took the risk of begging your father, who not only sent Langzhong to treat them, but also helped his younger brother and sister to clear their identities and settle down in a new household registration, so that they could be upright. But because he was a soldier who defected, the Gu family army could no longer take him in, so he has been working for your father in the market. Later, when your father had an accident, when I found him, I told him that I could help Gu Jiajun avenge him, and he followed me. ”
Gu Huanyi never thought that Yang Xin turned out to be his father's person!
However, how did Li Congxin know about things that even she didn't know?
"The prince knew Yang Xin's identity from the beginning, so he went to Cannes to find him? How did you find out? ”
This question suddenly turned Li Congxin down.
He knew Yang Xin because of Gu Huanyi.
In his previous life, when Gu Huanyi married into the Xianwang Mansion, there was no one else under him, and he only quietly brought Yang Xin into Beijing.
At that time, Gu Huanyi and Li Congxin privately interrogated each other, and they all relied on Yang Xin's communication, so he couldn't be clearer about Yang Xin's affairs.
And the reason why he values Yang Xin so much is also because Yang Xin died in the end to save Gu Huanyi, and his loyalty to the Gu family is beyond doubt.
None of this has happened yet, Li Congxin couldn't explain it, so he had to say perfunctorily: "I'll tell you when I have a chance in the future." ”
Gu Huanyi thought that Li Congxin didn't want to expose the spies planted in the army, so he didn't ask anymore, and talked about the marriage of the two instead.
"If your father has any preferences and taboos, tell me quickly. I'm going to talk to my grandmother tomorrow and get ready sooner. ”
Although the selection of the gift of Nacai is mainly a matter for the man, when the king of Ming came to the Song family, the Song family must be prepared and not rude.
Li Congxin said with a ashamed face: "Since I can remember, my mother sent me to learn art, and when my mother died of illness, I was recruited into the capital not long after I returned to the palace. I get together less with my father and leave more, and I really don't know much about the things in life. ”
Only then did Gu Huanyi understand why Liu Pei explained that Wang didn't care much about Li Congxin's affairs, and his affairs were all up to him.
"Then I asked Uncle Liu to inquire with Steward Zhu of the Ming Palace, and then I made the arrangements myself."
Li Congxin smiled: "Although you arrange, my father is here to ask for my marriage, where do you dare to pick your mouth." ”
Gu Huanyi's mood jumped up, and he went to Song's house early the next day to discuss this matter with his grandmother.
Mrs. Song attached great importance to Gu Huanyi's family affairs with the Ming Palace, and called her eldest daughter-in-law Jiang and fourth daughter-in-law Zheng to manage them together.
May is approaching in the blink of an eye, and as the day of the full moon ceremony of the little prince approaches, congratulatory gifts from all over the country have been sent to the imperial capital one after another, and the entire capital is lively because of these officials who came to Beijing to congratulate.
Concubine Zhen knew that the emperor and queen were relieved about Gu Huanyi and Li Congxin's marriage, so she sent a post to Gu Huanyi and invited her to the palace to participate in the full moon banquet.
In the past two years, Gu Huanyi has been dressed very simply and elegantly because of his filial piety, and it is not suitable to enter the palace for a banquet.
chose a bright spring day, Gu Huanyi invited He Guangling to go to the street to pick clothes and gifts together.
He Guangling saw Gu Huanyi come out by himself, and asked, "Why don't you bring your sister of the Song family out with you?" I also want to ask her about the Hanxi Qin Society. ”
Not long after Li Chengxu was arrested, the Hanxi Qin Society closed.
Gu Huanyi heard Li Congxin say that Hanxi Jushi was a person who was a virtuous king, so he should have been afraid of being implicated and left early.
Because Song Xiangjun followed Hanxi monks to learn the piano, Gu Huanyi found Song Xiangjun specifically for this matter, and asked her to be careful of Hanxi monks in the future.
At this moment, listening to He Guangling talk about the Hanxi Qin Society, Gu Huanyi teased: "You have never liked qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, I think you are not related to the Qin Society, but want to inquire about Fang Yurong." ”
He Guangling smiled "haha" and said, "You have seen through it." ”
Since the Fang family was demoted, He Guangling couldn't wait to meet Fang Yurong to show the anger he had suffered before, but Fang Yurong has also disappeared in the capital since then.
Gu Huanyi got a little news from Jinsang Xiangzhi and said: "Fang Yurong implicated the Fang family and was demoted, it is said that his father sent him to the nunnery on the outskirts of Beijing to think about it, and you are afraid that you will not be able to see her for a while." ”
He Guangling asked excitedly, "Really?" Which nunnery? Will she pay her hair and let her become a monk? Then I'm going to go see her! ”
Gu Huanyi said: "She is Uncle Fang's daughter, and she will be punished, but it will not bury her for the rest of her life." Let's not do things that fall into the well, her heart is not good, if she remembers it, it will be like a maggot on the tarsal bone, and it will be difficult to get rid of it in this life. ”
He Guangling felt a pity, but it was over as soon as he said it.
