Chapter 142: Gradient
A lie has to be covered up with countless lies, Gu Bainiang had already thought of this, at that time, she was taking advantage of the illness of King Zhun Wenjun to seize the weakness of these high-ranking people who were afraid of death after fame and fortune, and hit it with one blow.
In the slowly moving carriage, Gu Bainiang sat opposite the middle-aged man, according to the level of this person, it was possible to use a good tulle carriage, but this carriage was an ordinary and somewhat shabby coarse cloth curtain, with poor air permeability, but it was also very good at isolating from the outside world.
"I'm here just to know one thing.....," the middle-aged man said in a deep voice, "how do you know?"
"It's not that I know.." Gu Banniang lowered her head and said, "This matter is absurd...."
The middle-aged man snorted coldly, "Absurd words? It's not like you haven't said that..."
Gu Eighteen Niang hurriedly leaned over and confessed his guilt.
"Say." The middle-aged man said in a deep voice.
"The little girl was seriously ill and almost wanted to die, but when I saw an old monk come to her, she said a few words, pushed the little girl, and woke up, and the illness was cured...."Gu Banniang lowered her head and said.
It turns out that telling a lie is actually quite simple.
"It's ridiculous!" The middle-aged man snorted coldly and frowned, "What happened at the time?"
"April of the fifth year of the founding of the Yuan Dynasty." Gu Bainiang replied, her voice without the slightest hesitation.
"What are those words?" The middle-aged man asked again.
"The little girl doesn't remember it really when she wakes up..."Gu Bainiang said in a low voice, "I just remember that he said that my brother had a catastrophe in his life, I didn't believe it in my dreams, and I argued with him, so he said these things in May and June of the seventh year....."
There was silence in the carriage, except for the creaking of the wheels.
"The little girl didn't believe it, and she forgot it when she woke up, but she didn't expect her brother to really encounter a catastrophe...."Gu Bainiang said in a low voice.
"That Gu Haisheng and the king of the county are also ..... The old monk said that, too?" The middle-aged man asked, extremely reluctant to say this.
Gu Banniang lowered her head, and the response was.
After listening to the middle-aged man's reply, King Wenjun looked noncommittal.
"The king of the county.... Unbelief? The middle-aged man hesitated and asked.
As a literati, he didn't believe in these things himself, and as a strategist, he couldn't know what those so-called auspicious words were all about, but this time it really challenged his cognition.
"The king of the county, people have inquired, that girl fell off the cliff in April of the fifth year of the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, and almost died..... he continued, "... Jiankang's woman is asking about the news that she gave birth to a two-body baby..."
"No need to ask." King Wenjun raised his hand to interrupt him.
"The king of the county...."The middle-aged man was a little stunned and looked up at him.
"Unknown life, unknown death." King Wenjun smiled faintly.
"But that's what the girl said...", the middle-aged man frowned.
King Wenjun shook his head, "Humanity is near, and heaven is far away, so don't believe what that girl said." ”
The middle-aged man was stunned, could it be that the king of the county had never believed the words of the Gu family's lady? Will he change his mind and speak for Gu Hai? No one knows better than him that King Wenjun really didn't intend to take care of Gu Hai, as for those words that were analyzed later, for them at present, it is useless at all, if King Wenjun establishes the identity of the crown prince at present, it is okay, the identity of the crown prince is undecided, and those things are empty talk.
"That girl said she wanted to come and say thank you?" King Wenjun changed the subject and asked.
The middle-aged man came back from his meditation and nodded, "Does the county king want to see her?" ”
In fact, he had already refused, such a lowly craftsman, he could only thank him and worship at home, and he was not qualified enough to come to the king of the county.
He looked at King Wenjun in front of him with a thoughtful expression, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if he thought of something happy, and he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, could it be....
According to the current age of the county king, it is also time to get married, because the selection of the prince is very important, so he put it on hold, and was born in the prince's house, surrounded by beautiful flowers and flowers, and the affairs of men and women have long been known.
The young man is a normal person, since the king of the county did not believe the absurd words of the Gu family lady, but after seeing his side, he changed his mind, could it be because of his popularity?
That little girl, although she can be called a little delicate, but she is not outstanding in terms of appearance, not to mention that she is a craftsman, and she is bold and reckless.
But it's hard to say what the young man thinks.
The middle-aged man's mind was in turmoil, and King Wenjun had already shook his head and said that there was no need to see it, which made his guess even more confusing, but this kind of children's affairs are not worth bothering so much, so he put it aside.
"The king of the county, the queen mother."
The feminine voice of the chamberlain came from outside.
After changing into formal clothes and sitting in a carriage, he entered the palace, and after passing through the palaces, he stopped outside the palace of the Queen Mother.
King Wenjun got out of the carriage and stepped into the palace gate under the leadership of the little chamberlain, and saw the other three county kings standing there.
The queen mother's bedroom is green and verdant, and the gardenia falls on the branches, and the fragrance is fragrant.
At this time, the three of them were standing under the tree and let out a burst of laughter.
"Brother Wang." He walked over and saluted the eldest of them
"Brother Wang is here, I'm tired on the road, sit down and rest first, and the Queen Mother will let us wait for a while." The elder county king said with a smile on his face.
Of the four county kings, three were left in the palace, and only King Wenjun was disliked by the queen mother because he was sick at that banquet, so he set up a mansion outside.
His words seemed to be concerned, but in fact, he reminded King Wenjun of this encounter, which was full of mockery.
King Wenjun naturally understood, smiled silently, and greeted the other two young county kings.
Several people saluted each other, and King Wenjun saw that the two young county kings were laughing with a white cat, and the cat didn't like to be scratched, and he kept barking anxiously.
"But the Queen Mother's cat?" King Wenjun asked casually.
"It's not." The elder county king shook his head and looked at the cat struggling to escape with a little smile, "The palace wall fell, the queen mother doesn't like cats and dogs, and is about to drive out..."
Before he could finish speaking, the cat broke free from the hands of the two little kings and hit the corner of his clothes.
"Go away." He frowned, raised his foot and kicked the cat, throwing the cat at the feet of King Wenjun.
The cat is thin and weak, with a coarse yellow coat, obviously not carefully maintained by people, and it seems to be dizzy by this kick, and it can't turn over at the feet of King Wenjun on its back.
King Wenjun couldn't help but look down, the cat looked panicked, but because of its natural wildness, it looked a little arrogant.
It's a spirit of survival, and everything is the same.
"Brother Wang, kick it to me." The two little county kings waved and shouted.
He also doesn't like cats and dogs, and before he did it, he would have kicked away with disgust, but at this moment, he hesitated, then bent down, reached out, and let the cat turn over with strength.
"Go ahead." He whispered.
The cat took the opportunity to run away, jumped up the tree and jumped on the wall three times and disappeared.
The two little kings stomped their feet, and the older kings smiled silently.
A majestic cough sounded suddenly, making the chaotic scene suddenly quiet, everyone turned their heads, and saw a bright yellow figure standing at the gate of the palace, leaning on the clusters behind them.
For a while, everyone knelt down, and the mountain shouted long live.
"Get up." Emperor Longqing came slowly, because he had been tortured by the patient for a long time, and his face was a little abnormally pale, which made his face that almost never smiled even more gloomy.
His gaze swept over several county kings one by one, and finally stopped at King Wenjun.
"Wen'er, come with me." He said suddenly.
This sentence surprised the people present, and even the king of Wenjun himself could not hide his surprise, since he came to the capital, this was the first time that the emperor took the initiative to invite him to speak.
His age is not up or down among these candidates, and he does not have any advantage, not to mention that he committed a cold illness in the previous paragraph, which made the emperor or the queen mother, and his attitude towards him was much worse than that of the other three.
"King Wenjun, hurry up, don't let Your Majesty wait." A smiling old eunuch reminded.
King Wenjun came back to his senses, thanked the old eunuch, and quickly followed Emperor Longqing, who had already walked over, and stepped into the queen mother's bedroom in the surprised eyes of everyone.
Soon, this seemingly inconspicuous scene caused by a wild cat spread to the ears of the princes and nobles of the Great Zhou, and everyone will begin to look at this King of Wenjun again, which will then cause a dark tide of re-standing for outsiders.
The news also reached Jiankang a few days later, but it did cause a different sensation.
The shock caused by the unexpected endings of Gu Hai and Gu Yu has not yet sunk, and the king of Wenjun is quite favored by Emperor Longqing, and he gives food to stay in the palace, for Emperor Longqing, who has been expecting himself to give birth to a son for so many years, so he has no good face for other people's sons, this move really makes people have to guess.
"So, that King Wenjun is very likely to be the prince?" Gu Changchun muttered to himself.
There was a lot of talk in the main hall, muffling out his voice.
"I said a long time ago that you can't be so short-sighted..."
"It's okay now, people have such a big backer, and the future is worry-free, I'm afraid that people will implicate us, and now it's not easy for us to want people to implicate us...."
"Why is it not easy? We didn't do anything to him..."
"Not yet? They all kicked out other people's mothers...."
Gu Changchun coughed heavily, and the room fell silent.
"What's going on with the Cao family being kicked out?" His face swept over the crowd with an extremely ugly face.
During these days, he was worried day and night, and he didn't care about the affairs of the Cao family, and today was the first time he heard that the Cao family was not in the clan.
Gu Leshan period Ai Ai stood up.
"You did it?" Gu Changchun glared at him.
"She... They're a dead star... Bad grandfather, you are scared," Gu Leshan said with a smile, "And tired fisher....," Gu Changchun's face became even more ugly, and he hurriedly said, "I'm all doing this for the good ..... of the clan."
"For the good of the clan? It's for you, okay?" Gu Changchun snorted coldly.
When it comes to intimacy, Gu Leshan's family is the closest to Gu Hai, in case the thunder rage implicates the relatives, the first unlucky one is his Gu Leshan family, originally thought that Gu Changchun would remove this family from the family, but there was no movement for a long time, Gu Leshan couldn't wait, and even went to the Cao family to make trouble with scolding, and finally let her move out of the "Laosheng" house.
"Where did you move?" Gu Changchun asked with a cold face.
“.. In the pharmacy..."Gu Leshan period Ai Ai Dao.
Gu Changchun slapped his palm on the table with a snap, making Gu Leshan tremble in fright.
"Go get it back for me!" He shouted.
It is easy to please God, it is difficult to send God, everyone looked at Gu Leshan and couldn't help but gloat, they had seen that this old boy was annoying, and now he was angry.
Gu Leshan didn't feel depressed, he responded happily, the Cao family's mud was general, and he coaxed him back in a few words, and he had to be grateful to himself, so he turned around and sent his wife Guo to go, such a trivial matter didn't need him, the head of the family, to come forward.
"Master...."After a while, Guo Shi came back in a hurry.
The tea in Gu Changchun's hand was not cold yet, "It's fast," he blew the tea powder, with a little pride.
"Quick! It's not very fast!" Guo sat down, grabbed the fan in the little girl's hand, and fanned himself hard.
Seeing that her expression was wrong, Gu Leshan asked, "What?" She's not coming back? Shame on you? ”
"It's good to shake your face," Guo snorted, "Everyone left and didn't see it at all."
Gu Leshan put down the teacup and hurriedly asked, "Gone?" Where did it go? ”
"The rich daughter of the people in the capital sent someone to pick it up," Guo replied angrily.
It is said that it is a three-horse carriage, using the most fashionable tulle pattern in Beijing, which makes Jiankang Street very lively.
Isn't it just a few dollars, and no matter how much you show off, you're just a lowly craftsman
After listening to Gu Leshan's reply, Gu Changchun was silent for a long time.
"This kid is trying to draw a line with us," he said with a little tiredness, "Leshan, you've gone too far... ”
Gu Leshan looked unimpressed, "I'm afraid, there are still fishermen, our fishermen are definitely not things in the pool, it's just bad luck for a while, that kid will draw a clear line, and the province will cause trouble in the future." ”
Hearing him mention Yu'er, Gu Changchun's face softened slightly, and they all sighed secretly about what happened to Gu Yu, but as Gu Shen'an said, this is also a kind of experience that the emperor has given him, and it is not a bad thing.
After all, Gu Yu's actions were caused by Gu Hai's anger first, and Yu'er's actions were much more reassuring than Gu Hai's thoughts.
Fortunately, there are still Yu'er, Gu Changchun breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the fact that there is no decent person in this generation, it is conceivable that after Gu Shen'an in the future, he will only rely on Gu Yu to support the entire Gu family.
"Let's go," he stretched out his hand and pressed his forehead, thinking of Gu Banniang's various behaviors, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, so that everyone was clean.
When the Cao family arrived in the capital, it was already late June, and Peng Yizhen's wife and children entered the capital together, and there were three or four cars of people, which was very lively.
When the mother and daughter saw each other, they naturally wept at first, and said in detail not to come to everything.
The Cao family didn't say anything about being kicked out of the house by Gu Leshan, or the servants saw the young lady as if they had the backbone of the master, and they said it in a few words.
"Ignore them." Gu Banniang said lightly when she heard this.
The servants glanced at each other, and felt that after a while, the young lady seemed to have changed a little, and her eyebrows and eyes were a little calmer, not as angry as before.
"Then the mother lives in the shop?" Gu Bainiang asked.
At this time, Peng Yizhen's family had seen and also came in, and when they heard her words, the lady of the Peng family immediately replied with a smile: "That shop is small, how can I wronged my wife, it was the sister-in-law of the Xin family who invited my wife to live with her." ”
Sister-in-law of the Xin family? It was arranged by Xinchaoyang, Gu Bainiang had a smile on her face, looked at Cao, but saw that her expression was a little strange.
"Thank you." She nodded.
"Thanks, the family also said thank you." Peng smiled.
"Big sister" Cao opened her mouth to interrupt Peng's with a somewhat panicked expression.
Family? Gu Banniang's expression was slightly condensed, she looked at the Peng family, and then at the Cao family, it seemed that in addition to being troubled by Gu Leshan, something else had happened.
