Chapter 101: Visit
The news of Major General Gu Jiajun's survival has spread in the capital.
The emperor sent troops to conquer Beiyi, and asked for the guilt of the Gu family's army, and his attitude was clear, which was enough to block the suspicion of Gu Jiayi from all walks of life.
Gu Huanyi received a lot of greetings, all of which were relatives and friends who wanted to visit Gu Jiayi.
Gu Jiayi didn't know about taking Hanbing San, but considering that his condition was not stable and he still needed to take medication and compulsory measures to quit, Gu Huanyi closed the door and thanked the guests.
But at this time, the housekeeper Song Ping still presented a greeting post, which made Gu Huanyi very embarrassed.
is Gu Jiayi's former fiancΓ©e, the young lady of the Tang family, Shen.
Gu Huanyi tapped the post on the desktop with her fingertips and asked Song Ping: "You told her that there are no guests at home now, right?" β
Song Ping was embarrassed and said: "Earlier, it was the Tang family who came to send a post, I have already refused, this time it was the young lady Tang who came to the door in person, and she must see the young master, and now she refuses to leave in the gatehouse." β
Gu Huanyi felt a little upset, the Shen family was so ruthless and unrighteous when they divorced the marriage, why do they have to make it up now?
Gu Jiayi and Shen's marriage is the words of the matchmaker of their parents, and they have no private feelings for their children, and they haven't met many times before, so Shen's can't be unforgettable, right?
But after all, it was her brother's private matter, and she couldn't overstep her bounds, so she had to take the post to Gu Jiayi.
Gu Jiayi was not very good after drinking the medicine, and he was a little groggy, and when he heard his sister say that the Shen family came to him, he was stunned for a long time before he reacted.
"It's her...... I don't know how she has spent the past two years, but I delayed her. Invite her in. β
Gu Huanyi didn't want his brother to be bothered before, and he didn't tell him about the Shen family, so it was necessary to make it clear at this time.
"After Miss Shen had an accident in our family, she divorced and remarried in the autumn of that year. Now that she's married, I don't think it's better for you to get involved anymore. β
Gu Jiayi seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and said: "It turns out that she is already married, so it is really inconvenient to see her in private, you can help me thank her for her kindness in visiting, and send her away properly." β
Gu Huanyi nodded and went to the concierge to see Shen in person.
Shen looked anxious, and when he saw someone coming, he immediately got up and looked.
Seeing Gu Huanyi, she was slightly disappointed, but she still greeted with a smile: "I haven't seen Sister Huan for a few years, you have grown into a big girl, I don't dare to admit it." β
Gu Huanyi didn't plan to talk to her about the old relationship, and said politely: "Young Lady Tang came to visit my brother today, but I'm really sorry, my brother has been suffering in Beiyi for two years, and his body needs to recuperate, so it is inconvenient to see guests." I just made a special trip to tell him about your visit, and my brother was very relieved to learn that you are now married and doing well, so let me thank you for him. β
Shen stepped forward and asked, "He...... If he refuses to see me, is he blaming me for remarrying? I...... I didn't know he was alive......"
Gu Huanyi smiled faintly and said, "You are too worried, my brother didn't blame you, it was because your fate was too shallow and you missed it." The past is gone, time has passed, everyone doesn't have to hold on to the past, they are all right. He doesn't see you, it's also for your good, if you let the Tang family know that you came to see him, I'm afraid there will be something bad to say, don't you say? β
At the mention of the Tang family, the Shen family suddenly cried in front of Gu Huanyi.
Gu Huanyi was secretly annoyed, and the Shen family was crying in the Gu family's gatehouse, what kind of words did it say? I'm afraid there's something wrong with her acting like this......
Sure enough, Shen sobbed and said, "The Tang family no longer has a foothold for me now...... Previously, my husband fell into a crime of lax governance because of the Ming Wang's car falling into the lake, and the official was demoted to two grades, and he was idle at home, and now he has been rejected for job hunting everywhere. Some people say that he offended the prince of the Ming Dynasty, so no yamen dared to use him. He didn't know where he offended the prince, and after thinking about it, he blamed my Shen family, saying that because the Shen family and the Gu family had a bad relationship, the Tang family was involved......"
Gu Huanyi didn't even want to pretend to be polite, and said coldly: "What Young Lady Tang said is inappropriate!" What does the matter of Gu Shen's two families have to do with the son? Or do you accuse the prince of a personal vendetta for me? β
Shen choked, and hurriedly said: "No, no, I mean, can my sister make it convenient and let the Tang family know that our two families are not grudges, so that the Tang family will not blame me for the bad career......"
Gu Huanyi didn't care about what happened to her at the beginning, she was already a big belly, but Shen had to inch in and asked her to help her solve family conflicts.
She was disgusted, she didn't want to pay attention to her, got up and sent off: "I am not interested in knowing the housework of the Tang family, and it is impossible to interfere, there are still many things in my house, so I won't accompany them much." β
Gu Huanyi returned to the inner courtyard and drank a cup of tea before suppressing the boredom in his chest.
After calming down, she sorted out the affairs of the Tang family, and suddenly remembered that at the end of May, when the little prince was at the full moon banquet, she and He Guangling had seen a woman talking to Concubine Lan in the Wenlan Pavilion in the palace, and that woman was Fang Yurong's sister-in-law, also surnamed Tang.
I don't know what the relationship between this Fang family's daughter-in-law and the Tang family married by the Shen family.
Gu Huanyi called Xingyun and asked her to inquire about the situation of the Tang family and who she was close to on weekdays.
It is not difficult to inquire about the affairs of the Tang family, although their family is not a prestigious family, but they have lived in the capital for a long time and know a lot of people.
Xingyun came over for two days to talk back to Gu Huanyi, and said: "The old man of the Tang family has the experience of the current right army, the official position is from Wupin, and he has a son and two daughters, the son is the former captain Tang Hao, and the eldest daughter is the daughter-in-law of the Fang family, the main house of the eldest young master Fang Yuzhu. β
Gu Huanyi was very surprised.
She thought that Fang Tang and Tang Duwei were relatives, but she didn't expect that they were brothers and sisters.
With the power of the Fang family back then, how could they marry the daughter of a five-grade Jingguan as the eldest daughter-in-law?
Gu Huanyi asked: "In addition to the father and son of the Tang family, is there anyone else in the Tang family who is an official?" Who is in the highest office? β
Xingyun shook his head and said: "There are still some relatives who are petty officials in the local area, but there are no more in the capital. β
Gu Huanyi felt that this was too strange.
A five-grade family, the daughter can marry into the former prime minister's family as the eldest daughter-in-law, and marry the daughter of the Shen family, who is the commander of the three products, as a daughter-in-law.
Between marriage, the Tang family took advantage of everything, why is the Tang family so capable?
Xingyun said again: "I heard Mama Zhou say that Mrs. Tang once worked as a female official in the palace and was a person with quite a few means. β
Gu Huanyi's eyes lit up, it seemed that the most important thing in the Tang family was this Mrs. Tang.
Gu Huanyi also wanted to ask about Mrs. Tang's work as a female official in the palace, but Mama Zhou told Xingyun that her limitations could not completely solve Gu Huanyi's doubts.
She thought about it, and the next day she went to the eldest princess's mansion to find He Guangling.
The two of them hadn't seen each other for a while, and He Guangling saw her take the initiative to come over and said, "I wanted to go to you for a long time, but Sister Qiao said that you have a lot of things at home recently, so let me not bother you, and I will go to see you together in a few days." You came here suddenly, is there something urgent? β
Gu Huanyi said: "I can't talk about urgent matters, but I do have something I want to ask my sister for!" β
He Guangling smiled and said, "No, you still have something to ask me?" Between us, you just say it. β
The two went to He Guangling's boudoir, and Gu Huanyi asked her: "Do you remember what I told you on the day I got married, the young lady of the Tang family, Shen, was my brother's fiancΓ©e, right?" β
He Guangling nodded again and again and said, "Remember, remember, what?" Your brother has returned, what does she have to think of it? β
