Chapter 25 The First Beauty of Daqi
Gao Changgong went to the army, the huge palace, Gu Zimo can play freely again.
On this day, he got up very early, put on the new clothes sent by Gawain, and planned to go home in style.
I haven't seen my father and mother for some days, and Gu Zimo really remembers it tightly in his heart.
bought some gifts for my father and mother, and then stepped into the door of the Gu family.
It's just that it's not the same as Gu Zimo imagined.
It stands to reason that my father and mother have not seen me for many days, and it should be a happy family to have a rare reunion with the family at this moment, but at this time, Gu Zimo found that there was no smile on my father's face, as if she was preoccupied.
Could it be that Gao Changgong still put pressure on his father and mother because of the 150,000 taels?
Thinking of this, Gu Zimo's face changed greatly, and he was a little excited: "Daddy, what are you doing...... What's wrong? ”
"No, it's nothing, Zimo, why are you standing, quick, come in and sit."
Gu Mu's expression was a little unnatural, as if she was deliberately avoiding something, and she glanced at Gu Zimo hurriedly and looked away.
Gu Zimo became more and more sure in his heart that something had happened.
But it was inconvenient to poke it directly, so he stepped forward and pulled Gu's mother's arm affectionately, "Mother, we haven't seen each other for so long, don't you and your father want me?" I miss you every day, and it just so happens that King Lanling is not here recently, or I will move home directly, so that I can take advantage of the festival to do my filial piety......"
Gu Zimo's words were from the heart.
No matter how picturesque the Lanling Mansion is, it is like a fairyland, but it is not as comfortable as his poor and ordinary Gu family's house.
In the palace, he originally thought that Gao Wen could be trusted, but after the incident in the council hall, he was completely alert.
At this time, Gu Zimo was fighting alone, and now when he sees his father, he inevitably feels a lot of emotion.
Gu Zimo's words made Gu's mother's face become a little weird again, her eyes flickered, and Gu's mother explained to Gu Zimo: "Zimo, that's the case, your father and I are going to go to your grandmother's in the next few days...... We really can't rest assured that you are alone at home, so it is better for you to go back to the palace first, there are people to take care of you in the palace, and your father and I can also feel at ease. ”
Gu Zimo hurriedly said when he heard this, "Go to see your grandmother?" Okay, I'll go with you too, it just so happens that I haven't seen my grandmother for a long time, and I'm very worried about her old man......"
Hearing this, Father Gu, who had not spoken this time, finally spoke, "Zimo, don't make trouble!" You're not a cloth cloth anymore! It's the staff of the Lanling Palace, enjoying the official position and rank, how can you be allowed to mess around? ”
"Visiting one's grandmother, is it also called nonsense? Dad, why do you think that......"
Gu Zimo was just suspicious, but seeing that his proposal was rejected at this moment, he became more and more sure that something was wrong.
"Your father is right, Zimo, you have grown up, you need to consider the consequences of doing things, my mother knows that you are from a poor background, and it will inevitably be difficult to stay in the palace, but, my mother believes that as long as you make some achievements in time, you will definitely be able to gain a foothold in the palace, I and your father are really happy for you, as a father, we are looking forward to the child's success, and you can get the weight of the king of Lanling, which is a great honor in itself......"
Gu's mother stretched out her hand and patted Gu Zimo's shoulder, and said comfortingly: "Mother and your father are always looking forward to you doing well, even if it is difficult in front of you, but if you get through this hurdle, there will be a bright road waiting for you in the future......"
“…… Mother, you're right, I'm impetuous. ”
Hearing this, Gu Zimo felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
It can be said that it is extremely difficult for someone from a background like himself to have such an opportunity.
It's no wonder that my father and mother will persuade me to stay in the palace.
After stabilizing his mind, Gu Zimo looked at his home, there was nothing abnormal, but he was still a little unsteady in his heart, so he asked Gu's mother: "Mother, these days when I am not at home, has anyone come to Lanling Palace?" ”
"No, since you left with that Gao manager, no one has come to the house, how can you ask that, Zimo, could it be that something happened to you in the palace?"
Gu Zimo's face was a little worried.
Gu Zimo hurriedly explained: "Mother, don't be nervous, I'll just ask casually, because the Lanling Royal Mansion seems to be very generous to its subordinate courtiers, it's not a holiday now, I just want to ask, have they sent gifts to comfort you and your father......"
Gu Zimo naturally wouldn't tell his father and mother that he wanted to ask Gao Changgong if he had mentioned the 150,000 taels, which made his father and mother anxious.
"It's true that there is no such thing, but Zimo, don't take it to heart, we don't need gifts or not, as long as you do well in the palace, you can make a difference in the future, this is the most important ......"
Gu's father on the side suddenly said to Gu Zimo: "It's not too early, Zimo, you better go back to the palace first, your mother and I are also packing up our things and planning to go." ”
"Dad, mother, when will you come back from your grandmother's house?"
"I'll contact you when I get back, so go back first."
Gu Zimo still wanted to ask carefully, but Gu's father had already pushed him out of the door.
Looking at the door that was closed by his father, Gu Zimo felt a little uncomfortable.
However, he also breathed a sigh of relief.
Gao Changgong didn't seem to be as unbearable as he thought.
Dad and mother don't know about 150,000 taels, and they can breathe a little sigh of relief.
did not go back to the palace directly, Gu Zimo went to Changqing's place.
Chang Qing saw Gu Zimo coming, and hurriedly pulled Gu Zimo in and sat down, why did you come over? I thought I wouldn't see you for another ten days and a half. ”
Gu Zimo shook his head, a little dazed, "Things seem to be a little strange." ”
Gu Zimo explained what happened in the past two days to Chang Qing's 1510.
Hearing this, Chang Qing didn't seem surprised, and said calmly: "Sure enough." ”
"You knew it was going to happen?"
"What's this! Gao Changgong is just to get your attention, and the 150,000 taels are just to scare and scare you, how can he really make you pay?! ”
"What to get my attention." Gu Zimo glared at Chang Qing: "It turns out that this is nonsense, not at all." ”
"Am I talking nonsense? Do you want to talk about it, did King Lanling put you in jail or forced you to pay back the money or threatened your family? Nothing, then prove that I am right, he is interested in you......"
Gu Zimo's scalp was a little numb, how could Chang Qing have such a dirty idea.
"If you're right, he's interesting to me! So have you ever seen someone who is interested in others who would use the method of 100,000 taels of debt? He can give me 150,000 taels to pursue me, wouldn't it be more convenient! ”
"If the King of Lanling really gives you 150,000 taels, do you really plan to sell your body?" Chang Qing raised his eyebrows and asked playfully.
Gu Zimo glanced at him, "If he is a woman, I will reluctantly sell it to him, but if he is a man, forget it, I am not so heavy...... My father and mother are still counting on me to carry on the lineage...... Besides, I am a filial son, and filial piety is priceless, not something that can be bought for 150,000 taels......"
"That's right, King Lanling must have expected that you would not sell, so he made this decision."
"Here it is again, I used to think that Xiao Qingzi was a wise man, but now I think your head is in water...... Whoever believes in you is a ghost......"
Chang Qing shook his head, and was about to speak, when a man's voice came from outside the door, "Young master, a waiter who claims to be from the Lanling Royal Mansion has come to pass the word, saying that he is here to pick up Prince Mo and return to the mansion for dinner." ”
As soon as the man's words fell, Chang Qing looked at Gu Zimo, and said with a rather determined expression: "Zimo, you can hide it deeply, and you will have a meal and someone from someone else will pick you up, this is the treatment of the princess, right?" ”
"A dog's mouth can't spit out ivory."
"Okay, let's go back quickly, people are still waiting to return home."
"I'm looking for you when I'm free."
Chang Qing sent Gu Zimo to the carriage, watched Gu Zimo leave in the carriage, shook his head, turned around and went back to Buzhuang, and the guy on the side asked Chang Qing with some surprise: "Young Master, everyone says that Zimo Gongzi is not as wise as Young Master, but why did King Lanling choose Zimo Gongzi to enter the palace as a staff member?" I don't think that young man Mo knows anything, and he still wants to ask the young master for help......"
"You know what? The staff that King Lanling wants is not just wisdom. ”
The guy was puzzled, "Aren't the staff members just for the sake of the Lord to share worries and solve problems?" No wisdom, the little ones are really confused......"
"Since you're confused, don't think about it, how many people can you have in the world? King Lanling never needed a staff member, he kept Zimo by his side, but he had other plans. ”
As soon as Gu Zimo returned to the palace, he noticed that the atmosphere in the palace was a little unusual.
Sure enough, after only a few steps, I heard the whispers of several maidservants, "Miss Xue is really beautiful, she deserves to be the first beauty in our Daqi, and she is really a good match for His Royal Highness......"
"It would be nice to have one-tenth of Miss Xue's looks......"
"No, in Daqi, the only one who can match His Highness's beauty is Miss Xue......"
When Gu Zimo heard this, he hurriedly approached the maids and maids, and asked a little excitedly: "Hello two young ladies, the Miss Xue you just talked about is the first beauty in our Daqi, is it Hu Luxue, the only daughter of the general Hu Luguang?" ”
"See Zimo Gongzi ......"
"Don't be polite, tell me first, is it Hu Luxue?"
"Yes, Miss Xue is in the house now......"
Gu Zimo's eyes lit up, "Where is it?" Take me over to meet this No. 1 beauty in Daqi, I haven't seen it yet! ”
Several handmaidens looked Gu Zimo up and down with a strange face, "Young Master Zimo, you don't have to worry, even if Your Highness and Miss Xue marry in the future, if you are valued by Your Highness, Miss Xue will not be able to shake your status......"
"No, no, no, you misunderstood, I just went to see our first beauty in Daqi, I didn't worry?"
Gu Zimo couldn't laugh or cry, how could he be said by the maidservant, as if he was afraid of being robbed of favor by Hu Luxue, this ...... It's ridiculous to make yourself the same as the concubine who competes for favor in the harem.
And, Gu Zimo's real thoughts at the moment are that if Chang Gong can be hooked by this No. 1 beauty in Daqi.
Then he won't come to trouble himself from time to time......
Wouldn't that be pleasant?
