Chapter 38: Difficult to Settle

"Does the emperor still want to marry the princess to you", "Be careful of that Jianing's nonsense", "Grandpa, when we are old, our Gu family will rely on you" The old man gave questions such as, Gu Lanting sat opposite, and respectfully replied "No", "Grandpa understands", "Grandpa rest assured" affirmative answers.

The old man pinched his gray beard with satisfaction, looking like "the old man had expected it a long time ago", and said with a smile: "Tell grandpa, how is it with that Li Chenghuan?" ”

Gu Lanting's hand holding the teacup paused slightly: "Grandpa......"

The old man saw his grandson's reddish ears, sneaked a glance out of the window, lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "Now the stories of the two of you are being spread outside, the innocence of other girls' families is important, you have to consider being responsible!" ”

“……”

Gu Lanting lowered his head and took a sip of tea, Grandpa, are you not mistaken? Is it her innocence or mine? Thinking so, he replied to the old man very respectfully: "Grandpa is right. ”

The old man seemed to pay special attention to Li Chenghuan's affairs: "Although this girl is not from a famous family, she can be regarded as half of the official family who eats the imperial court, and our Gu family does not have to pay attention to the right family, if you two are in love......"

"Grandpa!" Gu Lanting was almost choked suddenly, and he couldn't even take care of etiquette for a while, "My grandson doesn't want to think about marriage now......"

Before he finished speaking, a small figure suddenly lifted the curtain and rushed in: "Second brother, third sister-in-law was taken away by Princess Yiyang!" ”

Gu Lanting was slightly stunned: "Princess Yiyang? ”

The old man was in a hurry first: "The one from the third family? What did Yiyang take her away for? ”

Gu Dongli cried so much that he sobbed: "The guards said that they would ask her about the poisoning case!" Woo woo, those people are so fierce, they will definitely beat the third sister-in-law! Second brother, think of a way. ”

Gu Lanting comforted her and said, "Fourth sister, don't worry, maybe the princess just asked about the case." ”

"Not really!" Gu Dongli was angry and anxious, and his little shoulders shrugged: "They slandered the third sister-in-law and poisoned Cui'er!" Cui'er is just a maid, what does the third sister-in-law have to do with a maid! Second brother, go to the eldest brother to intercede, and let the princess let go of the third sister-in-law. ”

The old man and Gu Lanting glanced at each other, both a little helpless. The third child, Gu Zhuxuan, has always spoken ill of this lady, and if he wants him to come forward, he must not even think about it.

Gu Lanting silently pulled Xiao Dongli to sit down on the chair, took out a handkerchief and wiped her face while saying softly: "Don't be afraid, the second brother will have a way." ”

Gu Dongli was reassured, and immediately put away his crying and briefly explained the ins and outs of the matter.

In the evening, Song Yuxi took Xiao Dongli out of the house to visit the night market, and happened to take a fancy to a hairpin at the same time with the Lian Lu girl of Wanhualou, Song Yuxi had already paid the money first, and saw that Lian Lu also wanted to give up, who knew that the maid next to Lian Lu scolded "What is the old woman pretending to be tender", Song Yuxi didn't take it seriously, but someone in the crowd said: "Alas? Isn't this Song Niangzi, the prodigal son who lived in Wanhualou for a few days is her husband. ”

"What? No matter how beautiful the Oiran is, she is also a prostitute, how dare she kick her nose in the face of the main room! ”

"It's not like you're used to stinky men! Didn't Gu San send his wife last time because of her? ”

"Oh my God! It turned out that Song Niangzi was beaten because of this slut! ”

Everyone was always very angry about this kind of thing, so the crowd was noisy and cursed, and it happened that the guards in the princess's mansion passed by, and they only heard the name and took Song Yuxi away. After Gu Dongli finished speaking, he added: "Also, those guards still said that the identity of the third sister-in-law is fake!" ”

The old lady, who has always been unfazed, looked extremely solemn at this time, and did not speak for a while.

If it is just a case of suspected poisoning, it is not a big deal. But why did the princess want to hold an unrelated person to pursue her identity? Yiyang has always been appreciated by the emperor in terms of political views, and her words and deeds have always been regarded by officials as a compass for the emperor's emotions.

Arresting the young lady of the Gu Mansion, I'm afraid this is just the beginning of the Gu family.

The old man sat on the Taishi's chair and fell into deep thought, and a pair of white eyebrows were tightly twisted together.

Gu Donglian, who was sitting next to him, was very uneasy, pulled Gu Lanting's sleeve with his hand, and muttered, "Second brother, ......"

Gu Lanting had a calm expression, he touched Gu Dongliang's head, and said gently: "It's not early, the fourth sister will go to bed first." ”

Gu Dongli obediently bowed and retired, and suddenly felt a little deserted, the candle flame jumped, and under the dim yellow light, people could see a trace of tiredness on the old lady's face.

Gu Lanting said: "Grandpa, let's rest first." ”

The old lady nodded, Gu Lanting got up and helped him lie on the soft collapse, took off his shoes for him, and then silently tucked the soft quilt. The old lady suddenly spoke: "This matter is just the beginning, there will be bigger storms next, you have to be prepared." ”

Gu Lanting gently lowered the bed curtain, and responded warmly: "Grandson understands, grandpa can rest assured." ”

The old lady then said: "Lanting, you immediately go to the Embroidery Division and find the conductor Shi Li Qianzhong." ”

Gu Lanting's hand was stunned, and it was one of the few times he had heard this name in his grandfather's mouth over the years, mostly related to his aunt who died early.

This aunt is the old man's most beloved daughter, but the emotional matter can only depend on fate, the Gu family knows this very well, so they did not fight with Li Qianzhong to the end, the old lady is also a decent person who is transparent and open-minded in life, so he also swallowed that difficulty silently.

Hearing this name at this time, people can't help but be a little surprised. But he still calmly responded: "Yes." ”

The bed curtain had been completely lowered, and the old lady's face was pierced by an apricot-yellow veil, and her expression was a little unreal. I only faintly saw him raise his hand and press it on his temple, and instructed: "There are some things that can't be seen on the surface, let him pass the past things." He said and suddenly smiled faintly, "But now that there is a Li Chenghuan, things are much easier." ”

"Li Chenghuan?"

"Although Li Qianzhong has lost your aunt, he also has a lot of suffering. Back then, in order to vent this evil anger, your father insisted on impeaching him and disgraced him from office......" The old lady explained to her grandson very patiently, "Your Majesty's re-recall of Li Qianzhong is one of the means used to deal with the Gu family. ”

Gu Lanting stood in front of the bed, pursed his lips and said nothing. This means that he wants to play with Li Chenghuan to the end?

The evil and a little delicate face slowly appeared in my mind, and I remembered the one who was caught off guard...... Kiss. Thinking about it, the tip of his eyebrows frowned involuntarily, and then his face was a little hot at some point.

She's the man...... has no face and no skin to tease one by one, who can stand it when they are really together?
