Chapter 181 is in full swing

"August 25...."

Gu Hai took the pen and sketched a stroke on the paper, this was the sixth day that Gu Bainiang left home.

"Young master...."Lingbao came in with an official robe, and served him with two other maids to put it on, today is the day he reports to the official department.

"By the way, your brother is now making a living? When I come back these days, I should invite him to sit in his house. After getting dressed, Gu Hai walked out while following Lingbao behind him and said.

Ling Yuan picked him up and Cao Shi on the way, and when he was dressed and acted, he was recognized by Gu Hai as a dart walker, and Ling Yuan refused to escort him because he was afraid that Gu Hai would dislike him, so he took advantage of the situation and did not clarify his identity.

Although he had been imprisoned, Gu Hai still disdained the arrogant Zhu Chunming, and in this situation, Ling Yuan naturally did not dare to come to the door, not because he was afraid that he would scold him, but because he was afraid that this scolding would bring unnecessary trouble to Gu Hai himself.

Lingbao's face turned pale when he heard the question, and Nuo Nuo didn't know how to answer.

The Cao family was already waiting in the courtyard to send him out in person, Gu Hai hurriedly smiled and passed, leaving the words to ask, and Lingbao, who was standing on the side, breathed a sigh of relief, but had to frown.

She couldn't imagine how angry Gu Hai would be if she knew what Ling Yuan had done.

Gu Hai simply nodded in the ministry, waiting for the next appointment, this time there were a lot of transfers, and the people who came and went were all hurriedly inquiring about the news and opening up the relationship, such a thing, Gu Hai naturally would not do it, in fact, he actually understood that he would do it in vain, a junior official of his level, at most, he would take a look at it from Lord Zhu, in this case, it was necessary for him to open up the relationship?

After visiting a few fellow departments, Gu Hai strolled out, and saw four or five officials gathered together and whispered, Gu Hai recognized that most of these people were the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he couldn't help but stop, stood outside the circle and listened for a while, and the more he listened, the more ugly his face became.

They are talking about Yang Taisheng, who was finally sentenced to death by the emperor a few days ago.

The words of these imperial historians were mixed with anger but helplessness.

"You are the imperial historian and the official, why don't you go to the book?" Gu Hai couldn't help but speak.

A few people turned their heads, no matter what, Gu Hai's incident back then was also quite sensational, although it had been so long, everyone still recognized him.

"Hanzhi is back...."They greeted each other with strange expressions, and then they all made excuses to disperse.

Gu Hai stood in place, where he didn't know their thoughts to avoid disaster, the autumn wind swept by, and he only felt sad in his heart.

"What? Cousin is going to come forward again? A familiar and unfamiliar voice came from behind him.

Gu Hai didn't look back, but said to himself: "This is the imperial history of my Great Zhou Dynasty, let this disease spread, so that the dynasty is scattered, the people are poor, and my Great Zhou Dynasty will eventually be terminally ill..."

Gu Yu chuckled lightly behind him, reached out and patted Gu Hai's shoulder, "Cousin, do you think that the sloppiness of state affairs is all the fault of one person?" ”

Gu Hai turned his head to look at him, his expression moving slightly.

Gu Yu didn't stop, but passed by him, the autumn wind swept by, and his clothes fluttered.

"Why do everyone in the Manchu Dynasty only want to protect themselves, why no one raises their arms and shouts for everyone to respond, why don't they work together to hoe and rape to get rid of the evil and set things right, could it be that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are all shameless and boneless and heartless..."

Gu Hai's expression was gloomy, and he stood in place and watched him leave, not moving for a long time.

When I walked out of the officials' headquarters, it was almost noon, but I saw that the officials who had not been seen rushed out one after another, beckoning each other and heading in one direction.

"Hanzhi, can you go all the way with us?" A few acquaintances greeted him.

"Where to go?" Gu Hai asked a little puzzled.

The fellow students looked surprised, "You don't know? Today is the birthday of King Wenjun.... ”

Everyone knows that King Wenjun and Gu Hai have an old relationship, and they protect each other, no matter what, he is also a supporter of King Wenjun, as his supporter, he doesn't know the birthday of others, this is simply a strange thing.

What the facts are, Gu Hai only knows in his heart, he doesn't even know how old King Wenjun is, let alone when his birthday is.

Maybe he could see his sister..... a trace of anticipation rose in his heart, and a smile appeared on his face, and he joked with those people and diverted the topic.

"The identity of the king of the county was originally a little embarrassing, otherwise he has been in Beijing for so long, which one have you seen on his birthday, but now it is different, yesterday His Majesty and the Queen Mother personally gave a gift to the king of Wenjun, saying that the festival of the weak crown should be held in a big way...."The fellow students laughed.

I see, so it seems that the canonization of the prince in mid-September is a certainty.

After a few polite words, Gu Hai said goodbye, since he was going to come to celebrate his birthday, he couldn't go empty-handed.

Today's Wenjun Mansion has changed from the solemn majesty of the past to refuse people thousands of miles away, the streets are full of traffic, the front of the door is crowded, and the sound of announcements comes and goes.

The birthday banquet of the county king is organized by the officials, this manpower is still not enough, and many people in the palace are busy, although they are busy but not chaotic, showing the royal style everywhere.

Gu Hai was laughing in the crowd, his eyes wandering around, trying to see Gu Bainiang's figure, but he also knew that it was in vain.

The crowd suddenly became lively, and many officials rushed to the door.

"Look, Little Master Zhu is here...."The official standing next to Gu Hai said in a low voice.

Gu Hai naturally knew who Xiao Zhu Ye was, he raised his eyes and looked at the arrogant group of people holding the moon like stars.

"Ahh

In order to save Yang Taisheng, a cadre of officials collected many criminal evidence of Zhu Chunming and other henchmen, in order to fight back, but the emperor was furious, scolded a group of officials, and immediately hooked up Yang Taisheng's death penalty.

"Hey, you people don't come much...."As he spoke, a group of people led by Zhu Yang had already walked over, and their eyes swept over the Qingliu party that was different from the crowd's invitations, and several of them laughed loudly, "You can't get up after a few boards?" I can't help but fight..."

As soon as these words came out, the public was in an uproar, and the faces of the Qingliu Party were pale, but no one dared to refute and rebuke them out loud.

"A group of cowards" Zhu Yang walked out from behind the people, laughed, and strode past these people with disdain.

Gu Hai watched this scene behind the people, only to feel that his temples jumped suddenly, and the jump gave him a headache, so he had to lower his head slightly and raise his hand to press lightly, and then looked up to see that Zhu Yang and the others had already walked to the main hall, talking to four or five old adults, with a flying spirit, without the humility of the juniors.

"It is said that Lord Zhu once said privately to the king of the county that in the future, the son will inherit his father's business..."

“？”

"Will you say yes?" No mistakes, no word skipping.

"Of course it will... The king of the county has the full support of Lord Zhu..."

A whisper came from the side.

This is not an groundless rumor, when the four county kings entered Beijing, although they did not interact with the ministers of the court on the surface, but this kind of thing could not be stopped at all, the county kings wanted to seek support, and the ministers of the court and the central government naturally had to prepare in advance, and Zhu Chunming was the supporter of the king of Wenjun, which is basically a well-known thing.

Gu Hai sighed, others didn't know, he knew that according to what Gu Bainiang said, when the new emperor ascended the throne a few years later, it was when Zhu Chunming perished, and it was impossible for a son to inherit his father's business, but now it is not the king of Zhejun in Gu Banniang's mouth who may become the new emperor, but the person who should not exist in his fate.

Everything has changed, will Zhu Chunming's fate also change?

Gu Hai looked at the main hall again, and Zhu Dagongzi was reaching out to a young man in the same brocade clothes, and said enthusiastically to the old men.

"Oh my God..."Gu Hai couldn't help but raise his hand to rub his naked eyes, and said in a lost voice, "So....who is that?" ”

"Oh? Which one? The colleague next to him heard it and looked at him along his line of sight, "Oh, who can it be, Lord Zhu's godson..."

Although Lord Zhu did not have a son, he had many godsons and grandsons, for example, as soon as Yang Taisheng's death sentence was rejected this time, several ministers of the DPRK and China immediately ran to recognize their godfather.

"He? He..."Gu Hai was a little slurred, staring closely at the young man standing behind Zhu Dagongzi in front of the main hall.

"That's the second son of Zhu who is a genuine brand, don't look at it as a house slave, but Mrs. Zhu likes it...."The colleague next to him whispered, "Don't underestimate this guy, he has a good skin and a good kung fu, and he is currently under the hands of Master Zhu of the Criminal Department, but he is a good dog who bites people and doesn't bark..."

Gu Hai couldn't help but take a few steps forward, wanting to see this person more clearly, the sound of ceremonial music sounded at this time, and under the guidance of a team of maids and attendants, King Wenjun, who was wearing a gorgeous costume and a golden crown, walked out slowly, and everyone stopped laughing and talking, and bowed to worship.

Gu Hai followed everyone to bow, and when he looked up again, he couldn't see the figure of the young man, an official of his status was not qualified to enter the hall at all.

"Hanzhi, come, let's sit down." Someone greeted him.

Gu Hai answered, and once again looked at the main hall full of important ministers and wealthy families of the imperial court, his face was already gloomy.

"Okay....dog," he whispered, turning to sit down.

The sound of drums came in through the cracks in the window, and compared with the singing, dancing, and laughter in the main hall over there, the cubicles in the study were particularly solemn.

Pulling out the last golden needle, Peng Yizhen's underwear was already soaked with sweat, not because of the brazier burning in the room, but because every stitch was extremely dangerous.

Seeing him stand away, Huang Neishou on the side hurriedly stepped forward, first took the thin quilt on the side and gently put it on the waist of King Wenjun, King Wenjun closed his eyes, his frown tightly and his body was also covered with beads of sweat to show that he had endured great pain.

Huang Neishou wiped it gently, he had tried his best to be careful, but every touch still made King Wenjun's body tremble slightly.

Peng Yizhen bowed his head and withdrew.

"How?" Gu Banniang, who was holding the medicine bowl, asked in a low voice.

"So far, it's good." Peng replied with a needle wiping his sweat, but there was no joy on his face, according to the original Wenjun Wang's condition, if it is not treated, it can be supported until the end of September, but now that he has started to apply needles and medicines, all the diseases have been exported.

"Success or failure still depends on the end..."Peng Yizhen said in a low voice.

Look at the last injection, the last medicine, dragon and tiger soup.

"Eighteen Niang, how many percent do you have...."Peng Yizhen couldn't help but ask again.

Almost every day, Peng Yizhen would ask again, Gu Bainiang had never seen him so nervous, he was already about to give it a go, but he couldn't help but get nervous when he asked.

She really didn't know the bottom in her heart, but she didn't want to tell the truth or tell lies, so she had to be kind twice, and she went in with the medicine bowl after estimating the time.

King Wenjun had already changed into a crescent white undershirt, and was still lying flat on the bed with his eyes closed.

"Gu Niangzi...."Seeing her come in with a medicine bowl, Huang Neizhi's tears could no longer be held back, "Can you wait for the king of the county to eat a bowl of longevity noodles before taking medicine...."

Because of the ferocity of the medicinal effect, after taking the medicine, King Wenjun almost couldn't get a drop of water, vomited, and relied on ginseng to nourish his qi for a day.

"Get out." King Wenjun opened his eyes and said lightly, he had already sat up as he spoke, and he did not hesitate to move, as if he could not feel the sharp pain in his body.

Huang Neishou also knew that he was hypocritical, and in front of his life, he also talked about longevity, but he was always a little sad in his heart, so he hurriedly quit according to his words.

Gu Bainiang kept her eyes silent, and after feeding the medicine, she picked up the book as always, but she didn't read it as always.

"It's the county king's birthday today?" She listened attentively to the sound of drums outside, and faintly there was singing and laughter.

King Wenjun sighed, every time he applied the needle, his spirit was exhausted, and fatigue hit him wave after wave, if it wasn't for his strong willpower, he would have to give up this treatment.

Although neither of them said anything, but he also understood that the hope of life was less than thirty percent, since they were all going to die, why not die more comfortably, many times there was always this voice lingering in his heart.

"The king of the county must have received a lot of gifts, right? There are not many mistakes," Gu Banniang asked, looking for a topic to ask him to raise his spirit, "The king of the county likes it?" ”

King Wenjun still closed his eyes and did not answer.

Just when Gu Bainiang thought that he couldn't resist being tired and fell asleep, he slowly spoke.

"One year, when I was at home, when I was eating shou noodles, I put a hibiscus flower on it...."He tilted his head slightly and leaned back on the soft pillow.

"It's a wood hibiscus, remove impurities and stems, sieve off the ashes, and dry it to use...."Gu Banniang replied casually.

A smile appeared on King Wenjun's face and he opened his eyes.

"Three sentences are not separated from the bank, it is you." He said.

It was rare that he had the spirit to say so many words in one sentence, and the smile on Gu Banniang's face also dispersed.

"The king likes hibiscus flowers?" She asked.

"That's a hibiscus flower carved from a radish," King Wenjun said lightly, "It was made for me by my mother herself..."

King Wenjun's mother has already passed away, which is a matter of avoidance that Huang Neishou has specially explained.

"The king of the county forgives his sins." Gu Bainiang hurriedly lowered her head and said.

King Wenjun sighed and raised his hand slightly.

still has the strength to raise her hand, Gu Bainiang is even happier.

"The king of the county, people often say that it is better to seek the Buddha than to seek oneself, which is the person like the king of the county." She raised her eyes slightly to look at King Wenjun, and quickly lowered her gaze.

"What do you mean by that?" King Wenjun asked.

Based on this preliminary understanding, this girl is not a person who can sneak around and shoot horses, and the corners of her mouth can't help but smile again.

"Although it was diagnosed and treated by Dr. Peng, if it weren't for your cooperation with you, I am afraid that I would not be able to survive...."Gu Bainiang said sincerely.

Although she didn't experience it personally, from Peng Yi's description, she could imagine how painful the ninety-ninety-eighty-one stitches would be every time, but she was in the study, not to mention the pain, and she didn't even hear a moan.

It is really surprising that such a pampered nobleman as him can do this.

"Geckos can still escape with their tails broken, what do I count?" King Wenjun chuckled lightly and looked at Gu Banniang, "Let's not flatter each other...."

Gu Bainiang also smiled, and after talking for a while, seeing that his spirit was finally better, she was relieved.

"Does the county king still want to listen to the story?" No mistakes, no word skipping. She picked up the book again and asked softly.

King Wenjun shook his head, "It's all stories, listen to you, but it's true." ”

Gu Banniang was slightly embarrassed, in fact, she was not a person who could talk in her past life and this life, because she couldn't speak, and she said a lot of mistakes, so she didn't like to talk.

The sound of drums outside was still heard in the wind, and the feast must be in full swing.

"It's better for me to give the king of the county a gift." Gu Bainiang had an idea, raised her head and said.

Facing King Wenjun's gaze, he saw a smile flashing in his always cold eyes.

“？” He asked.

"I don't know how to carve," Gu Banniang said with a chuckle, a hint of confidence flashed in her eyes, "I will cut the medicine...."

"Cutting medicine?" King Wenjun looked at her and repeated it in his mouth.

With this thought, Gu Bainiang was also interested, and she quickly went out to get her own medicine cutting knife and took some medicine.

Although Huang Neishou was very curious, he still did not follow up with the belief of not disturbing the two of them, but just found a small kang table according to Gu Bainiang's request.

"Put it on the ground..."Gu Bainiang looked around, looking for the most suitable location for King Wenjun to see clearly.

"Put it on the bed." Wenjun Wang suddenly said.

Don't you dare, Gu Banniang hurriedly said, not to mention that she still has to use the knife, in front of such nobles, few people can meet each other with the weapon of blood light, she has already exceeded the rules.

"I'm tired from the side...."King Wenjun said lightly.

Huang Neishou immediately put the small kang table at the end of the bed, and asked Gu Eighteen Niang with a smile.

Gu Bainiang knelt down to plead guilty, then got up, carefully knelt at the end of the bed, and pulled out the medicine knife from the cloth bag.

"Good knives." King Wenjun said.

"It was won from Xiao Liu Ye...."Gu Bainiang looked at the knife, a smile appeared on her face, and she remembered that King Wenjun didn't know who Xiao Liu Ye was, and was about to explain, when Huang Nei Shi next to her had already spoken.

"Oh, that stupid boy who jumped out to challenge you when he was the first to be unconvinced?" He asked, "Hey, with his stupid appearance, he deserves to use such a good knife....King Jun, you say yes?" No mistakes, not a lot of words"

Gu Bainiang was slightly stunned, listening to what he meant, as if they had seen it at the scene, she originally thought that they would just come over to see the excitement at the end of the day....

She couldn't help but raise her eyes to look at King Wenjun opposite, but King Wenjun looked unwavering and didn't answer.

"Xiao Liuye's craftsmanship is good..."She lowered her head and whispered, as she spoke, picked up Qing Banxia on the table, took a deep breath, and raised the knife in her hand.

Her knife skills were very fast, Huang Neishou only felt dazzled, and with the slight sound of knife cutting, the Banxia block in Gu Bainiang's hand turned into pieces.

"Oh my God..."Huang Neishou couldn't help but cover his mouth and exclaimed, "The king of the county, the king of the county, look at it so thin.... ”

He couldn't help but whisper, King Wenjun raised his eyes and looked at him, his brows furrowed slightly, as if he was very unhappy with his shouting, Huang Neishou couldn't help shrinking his head, looked at Gu Banniang who was concentrated, and quietly withdrew with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"My knife skills are actually not good..."Gu Banniang said in a low voice, as if talking to herself, the last knife was put away, and a thin layer of slices was spread on the table.

She reached out and picked up the needle and thread on the side, tilted her head and thought slightly, while flying the needle and thread, quickly gathered these flakes together, and then reached out and shook it, and a plain white flower appeared in her hand.

"Alright," she looked at her results, a smile on her face, and shook her head again, "Well, there are no folds, and it's still not like..."

"I'll see." King Wenjun's voice came from the other side, and at the same time, a hand reached out.

He leaned forward away from the cushion, his outstretched arm trembling slightly.

"The King of the County." Gu Bainiang hurriedly got off the bed, stood in front of him, and handed over the flowers, "You sit down quickly." ”

King Wenjun took it, took it in his hand and turned it around, the flower composed of Banxia slices, the pieces were as thin as cicada wings, shaped like feathers, and fluttered lightly with the rotation.

He looked at the flower and didn't say anything for a long time.

"The king of the county smiled...."Gu Bainiang said in a low voice, retreating and cleaning up the end of the bed.

King Wenjun said suddenly, "Good knife work." ”

Hearing someone praise her knife work, Gu Bainiang was very happy, remembering that she was beaten by Liu Gong for this knife work, and in the end, she didn't satisfy his old man, her expression couldn't help but be a little stunned.

"My master's Qing Banxia cut out is the real Cicada Wing Banxia..."She muttered, "I have to practice for a long time..."

"You won't let him down." King Wenjun said, slowly leaning back on the pillow and breathing a sigh of relief.

His lips were chapped and bloodshot.

Gu Bainiang came back to her senses, and took the warm water from the stove on the side with a familiar car.

"King Jun, bear with me, it will be fine." She dipped a chopstick in warm water and gently touched his lips, "Soon you can eat as much as you want, eat as much as you want, and eat as much as you want..."

King Wenjun couldn't help but chuckle, closed his eyes slightly, and still pinched the half-summer flower in his hand beside him.

Gu Hai was the last to leave the Wenjun Palace, the night had already shrouded, he sat in the rickety carriage, although he ate wine, his face did not show any spring, but sank like the bottom of a pot.

The car passed through the bustling street market, turned into the deep alley, and a figure stepped out of the darkness by the wall.

Ah Si, who was driving the car, habitually reined in the horse, jumped off by himself, and retreated to the side.

"Ah Si?" Gu Hai's questioning voice came from inside the car.

Ah Si came back to his senses at this time, it was the young master sitting in the car, not the young lady, he patted his head and came back.

Gu Hai had already lifted the curtain, and his gaze fell on the person approaching in front of him.

"Young Master..."Ling Yuan kneeled down.

"Don't dare to be..."Gu Hai said slowly, "Second Young Master Zhu...."

--------------------------------------------

Let's get two watches, hehe.
