October passed quickly, and on the twenty-first day, Song Yixiao naturally didn't go to the Song family to eat Mrs. Pang's birthday wine, not only she, Jian Xubai didn't go, but only gave a gift that was not salty or light - the Song family probably knew the attitude of the Yanguo Mansion, and they didn't send anyone to say anything about missing Song Yixiao.

At the beginning of November, Gu Tongxu and Qiu Zhiyin, Wei Yinlian and Ji Mingfei, these two marriages were finally settled and announced to the public.

"Your Majesty is indeed merciful." Emperor Xianjia's idea of suppressing the forces of the two kings of Wei and Zhao during this time, but also planning to open up the net, has been very clear, after these two family affairs came out, the government and the opposition were not very surprised, and sighed with emotion, and most people didn't care.

After all, the eighth day of this month is the Holy Birthday Day of the Empress Dowager, and the fifteenth is the Emperor's Birthday Festival.

What Song Yixiao didn't expect was that on the eve of the Holy Birthday Festival, Hengshan Wangfu suddenly sent a message, saying that Wei Mengying wanted to see her.

"It is said that my mother intended to summon me, so I shouldn't refuse." Song Yixiao couldn't bear the thoughts of this mother-in-law, and asked Wei Mengying euphemistically that her mother and son were in good health, and she didn't want to visit the patient by herself, so she was embarrassed, "It's just that my mother-in-law said two days ago that I am already old, don't go out easily, this is ......"

Bo's mother heard that it was the intention of the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom, and she didn't dare to let Song Yixiao definitely go, so she had to explain the reason: "It's the end of the year, and the seventh prince will reach the age of formal enlightenment in the next year. No, would you like to ask me a favor? ”

These words reminded Song Yi to smile: a few months ago, when she was just pregnant, when Wei Mengying came to visit, she mentioned that she wanted Lu Guanyun to worship under Gu Shao's door.

And she agreed to help.

But for a period of time after returning to the imperial capital from Cuihua Mountain, the prince's side has not been very smooth, and Yi Chu's voice has been higher and higher-Wei Mengying's side has never mentioned this again.

Now that the dust has settled, Gu Shao's popularity is a foregone conclusion, and Wei Mengying can rest assured that she will not bet on the wrong treasure, so it is no wonder that she will bring up the old things again.

Song Yixiao was very speechless about this mother's practice of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, but she couldn't let go of her brother's future, so it was not easy to say anything, so she just said: "I am not very good to go out with my body now, but fortunately, Yun'er is only five years old." Let's wait for my confinement after giving birth, and then go to the door to plead with Gu Xiang! ”

However, although she promised to help recommend her younger brother to Gu Shao - she was not sure whether Gu Shao would accept it or not, so she thought about it and added, "Heng Zhuyun'er is still young, if Gu Xiang has no time to teach apprentices, it is okay to choose other good teachers." Please also ask your mother to bring this to your mother to see what your mother means? ”

But Bo's mother didn't mean to quit when she got this, and still said with a smile on her face: "Miss, you don't know: although the princess hoped that the seventh prince could worship under Gu Xiangmen, but the seventh prince is too young, Gu Xiang is old and has a lot of power, and the princess is very worried that even if the seventh prince worships the teacher by relying on your face, he can't always get Gu Xiang's teachings!" ”

This is a fact, Gu Shao is not an exaggeration to describe it with every opportunity now, that is, the lectures on the side of the king of Zhongling County are intermittent, if Lu Guanyun is accepted again, it is estimated that he will be the name of a master and apprentice - if it is a person who needs the support of a teacher, such a name is also difficult to buy, the problem is that Lu Guanyun is young, and he doesn't need the opportunity to carry it at the moment, what he needs now is a real teacher!

In this way, Gu Shao is not so suitable.

Although Wei Mengying is utilitarian, she is not a fool: if Lu Guanyun worships under Gu Shao's sect, it is certainly enviable, but it is not a good thing for his long-term development. After all, Gu Shao has no time to teach him, and if he finds someone else to teach Lu Guanyun - Gu Shao is so famous, is his student something that ordinary people dare to teach?

Even other famous teachers have their own arrogance, who is willing to take the reputation of competing with Gu Shao as a disciple to teach Lu Guanyun?

In this way, Lu Guanyun is famous as a famous teacher and protégé, but he can't get the teachings he deserves, even if he has good talents, how can he not be out of the crowd? But in this case, others will only laugh at him for ruining a good teacher, suspect that he is not attentive enough or has dull qualifications, and will only look down on him - including Gu Shao and Zhongling Junwang, it is estimated that they will also feel that accepting him is purely losing their own face.

After all, if you want to be recognized and respected, especially the recognition and respect of the powerful people of Gu Shao and Zhongling County King, everything from your background is secondary, and the key is to have real skills.

Therefore, after thinking deeply, Wei Mengying decided to give up the idea of letting his son worship Gu Shao as a teacher, and find another goal, "He Lou is talented in repairing, and now he is an envoy and idle." I heard that He Lou's repair has a lot of connections with Yanguo Mansion, and I asked Miss to help me find out, okay? ”

"He Lou Xiu?" Song Yixiao was slightly surprised when she heard this, she didn't expect Wei Mengying to change her goal, and she also took a fancy to Jinke Zhuangyuanlang.

Of course, He Lou Duhan can be the champion, and there is definitely no problem with learning.

The question is, according to Song Yixiao's understanding of Wei Mengying, how can this mother choose a teacher for her son, how can knowledge be ranked first? It must be a priority for power!

And He Lou Duhan entered the office as a champion, and under normal circumstances, he would indeed have a good future.

But compared to Gu Shao, he is not enough to see, not to mention that in the previous battle for the prince, although he got closer to Jian Xubai because he wanted to marry Pei Yourui, he did not really stand on the side of the prince - this means that after the prince ascends the throne, he will definitely not get too many benefits.

How could such a person impress Wei Mengying?

Song Yixiao was surprised, and after a little groaning, he agreed: "When the husband comes back today, I will tell him and ask him to help ask He Lou to revise." ”

After agreeing to this, she greeted the people of Hengshan Wangfu again, and learned that everything was fine - after a few more words, she asked Jinxun to prepare some pastries and other food for Bo's mother to take back to honor Wei Mengying, and sent her away.

After Bo's mother left, Song Yi frowned and asked, "What news has come out of the imperial capital recently-about He Lou's revision?" ”

Maids, you look at me, I look at you, look at each other for a moment, or Jin Xun said: "The slave and maid occasionally listened to it, and I don't know if it's true or not: He Lou has no marriage match so far, and several nobles want to give him the young lady in the family, but he refuses, and it has been rumored recently that he has some hidden disease?" ”

"It shouldn't be this!" Song Yixiao thought to herself that if He Lou Duhan had any hidden illness, it was not a matter of reputation, how could Wei Mengying let Lu Guanyun worship under his door?

But......

"Did He Lou Xiu reject the marriage proposals of many noble families?" Song Yixiao couldn't help but think of how many times this champion wanted to propose marriage to Pei Yourui, and secretly muttered, "Is he still thinking about his righteous sister?" It's just that the righteous sister has not let go so far, why is my mother sure that he can marry the righteous sister? Even if she can marry, in her mother's mind, the righteous sister is probably the identity of 'the eldest princess's beloved daughter'. But this identity can't impress the mother, right? ”

After all, Wei Mengying already has the identity of the mother-in-law of the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom.

Song Yixiao thought about it for a long time to no avail, so she didn't think about it anymore, and waited intently for Jian Xubai to disperse - after Jian Xubai came back in the evening, she was slightly surprised when she heard her talk about Bo's mother's arrival: "Mother-in-law is really well-informed!" ”

"What do you mean by that?" Song Yi asked with a puzzled smile.

Jian Xubai pulled the collar of his shirt, walked behind the screen and changed into his official robe, and said, "Where do you want He Lou to be?" ”

"Gangnam...... Wait, Gu Xiang has also been living in Jiangnan all these years? Song Yi smiled and exclaimed, "The two of them?!" ”

"It's master and apprentice." Jian Xubai changed into his regular clothes, tied his clothes and took them out, and said, "It can even be said that in order to teach He Lou, Gu Xiang has only let go of the old mansion in Hongzhou for all these years and has lived in Jiangnan for a long time!" ”

Song Yixiao was surprised and said, "Gu is really a disciple!" ”

Although it is said that the teacher also sits in the hall, but at Gu Shao's level, it is definitely the apprentice who revolves around him - even if it is a nobleman like the king of Zhongling County, it is impossible to hold the shelf of the emperor's eldest grandson in front of him!

So he actually lived in Jiangnan for He Lou Duhan for a long time, instead of He Lou Duhan going to Hongzhou with him to study, this can only be one reason: he loves He Lou Duhan very much and is willing to accommodate this disciple.

It's just that Song Yixiao also felt strange: He Lou Duhan didn't look like a willful and ignorant person, how could he let the teacher stay away from his family for himself?

"It's not all pampering, either." Sure enough, Jian Xubai shook his head and said, "But this involves Gu Xiang's private affairs, and without his permission, I can't say much: in short, it is also a sad thing for Gu Xiang." ”

Although Song Yixiao was a little curious, she was unwilling to let her husband break her promise in order to satisfy her curiosity, so she only said: "So, not many people know about the relationship between He Lou Xiu and Gu Xiang?" ”

She understood why Wei Mengying fell in love with He Lou Duhan: He Lou Duhan was young and strong, and the current messenger was also idle, he had the energy and time to teach Lu Guanyun well; As a student of Gu Shao, and a champion in high school, his status in Gu Shao must not be low!

If Lu Guanyun worships such a teacher, he is Gu Shao's descendant and grandson, and his future is guaranteed, and his studies are also guaranteed, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone!

"Absolutely not much." Jian Xubai thought for a moment and said, "Let's put it this way: in addition to the imperial uncle and the crown prince, this imperial capital, Gu Xiang probably only told me - at most add your father!" ”

In fact, he was able to know that it was because Gu Shao thought that he was very suitable for being an "opponent" with He Lou Duhan, and he gradually revealed this secret not long after the initial reminder and temptation.

Song Yi couldn't help but be surprised: "My mother has been keeping filial piety for most of the year, even if it is not, Your Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are definitely not something she can touch; If I hadn't asked about this matter today, you wouldn't have even told me, and you would definitely not have revealed it to my mother; There is only one left, my father, who has hated my mother all these years, but why should he tell her such a thing? But it can't be Gu Xiang telling my mother by himself, right? ”

"There is no impermeable wall in the world, and the reason why Gu Xiang concealed the master-apprentice relationship with He Lou before was mainly because he didn't want to get him involved in the whirlpool of contention." Jian Xubai muttered, "Now that the results of the battle for the storage position have come out, Gu Xiang doesn't care that this relationship is in front of people - maybe it's because of this, their master and apprentice have been more diligent recently, and it just so happens that my mother-in-law knows?" ”

This is also possible, but Song Yixiao still feels strange, what did his own mother do with Gu Shao and He Lou Duhan?

He Lou Duhan is also okay, Gu Shao is so good that he is back in the phase, and he is from the Gu family in Hongzhou, how can there be few capable people under his hands to protect him? Wei Mengying After all, she is just a step-princess from an ordinary official family, and the number of people she can use is limited, so she is not afraid that her small actions will be discovered by Gu Shao, and then provoke Gu Shao's disgust?

However, Jian Xubai was not very interested in where his mother-in-law got such confidential news, and after caring about his wife's pregnancy, he said happily: "It's about the future of my brother-in-law, how can I, as a brother-in-law, not do my best?" It just so happens that tomorrow is the Holy Birthday Day, and if you meet He Lou at the banquet, you happen to tell him about it - I don't think he will refuse! ”

"How old is Yun'er now?" Song Yixiao also thought about his younger brother's apprenticeship, but he felt a little apprehensive, "Especially his temperament may not be able to calm down and work hard, although my sister doesn't think it's a big problem, he is young, but He Lou may not have the kung fu to coax him, right?" ”

After all, Lu Guanyun is not He Lou Duhan's younger brother, the identity of the champion is there, although he is young, there are many people who want to apprentice, why coax the disciples?

Jian Xubai said meaningfully: "Although He Lou is Gu Xiang's proud protégé, he didn't contribute to the previous turmoil. Gu Xiang is now a very powerful minister, but he has to avoid suspicion and promote his disciples-and although I am not as powerful as Gu Xiang, it is not difficult to pull He Lou along! ”

Song Yi smiled and said suddenly: "In this way, He Lou will indeed not refuse." ”

Although Gu Shao really wanted to pave the way for his disciples, he had to be a tactful way. But Jian Xubai is not only a relative of the emperor, but also the arm of the prince, and he is young, a few years younger than He Lou Duhan, Gu Shao must be happy to see He Lou Duhan and the Yanguo Mansion close.

She thought for a moment and muttered, "I just hope that he is willing to teach Yun'er seriously!" ”

"He Lou's personality is still very calm." Jian Xubai comforted, "What's more, how can the power of our house be borrowed in vain?" It's just to teach his brother-in-law, it's a gesture for him, if he doesn't want to pay this, even if he is Gu Xiang's beloved apprentice, he won't want to mix in the court in the future! ”

- According to his private agreement with Gu Shao, he will have to help Gu Shao be promoted, and it doesn't matter if the relationship between the two parties is harmonious at present. After all, his current age and qualifications are still shallow, and he can't threaten the prince at all.

It was only years later, when the friendship of his youth was worn out by the passage of time and the peculiar suspicions of the king, that he needed an opponent to reassure the emperor.

Wei Mengying wanted to pave the way for her young son, but she was in the middle of it.

As for how did this mother-in-law learn about the secret that has not yet been released......

Jane's white eyes were lowered to hide the mockery and indifference that flashed in his eyes.
