Gu Wenliang paced back and forth a little irritably, and couldn't help but urge the attendants again: "You go and ask Lord Taiwei again, when will we enter the city?" ”

The attendant took the order, and after a while came back with a sad face and said, "Lord Taiwei is having a good conversation with the prefect of Cannes, and the little one can't see Lord Taiwei." The guards beside the Captain ask you to wait a moment. ”

"Wait? I've been waiting for a full hour," Gu Wenliang was furious in his heart, "Since you said that you are only here to rest for a while, and the prefect of Cannes has sent a carriage again, what are you going to do here?" Seeing that it is about to get dark, if you don't enter the city at this time, what should you do at night? ”

The attendant bowed his head and didn't dare to speak, Gu Wenliang saw this, so he had to calm down as much as possible and personally walked in the direction of the main house where Taiwei Zheng was down.

They borrowed two local dwellings, next to each other, the larger, neater one was used to house Princess Zheng and the prince, and there were two circles of soldiers and horses outside the door, except for the ditch under the wall of the backyard, which was more than a foot deep, and there were no guards, it was impossible for anyone to enter or leave this courtyard to escape the eyes of the officers and soldiers; The other slightly smaller courtyard, only enclosed by an earthen wall, has three rooms, with a straw hut outside, Zheng Taiwei himself stationed in the main house, and his personal guards occupy the other two rooms, although Gu Wenliang is the commander of Sudong County, he can only condescend to the grass hut, and he has already accumulated a stomach of anger.

Before he reached the main house, he called Zheng Taiwei's guards to stop him, only saying that Zheng Taiwei had important business to discuss with the prefect of Cannes, and he would not see anyone else for the time being, but he clearly heard the laughter in the house, and the words of the prefect of Cannes were about to spread outside. Gu Wenliang's face sank, and he said with a smile: "Although Lord Taiwei has important business, please report to Lord Taiwei for me." It will be late, if you don't enter the city again, where will the princess and the prince be settled at night? That's time to get ready. ”

The guard frowned, turned around and entered the house, the laughter in the room stopped after a while, and soon, the guard turned around and said to Gu Wenliang: "Lord Taiwei has already prepared, Gu County Order doesn't have to worry about it." This place is already within the territory of Kangcheng, and according to the agreement, Gu Xianling can immediately hand over the affairs to the prefect of Kangcheng and return to Sudong. The rest of the matter will be decided by Lord Taiwei. ”

Gu Wenliang was furious, and finally held back his anger: "In this case, please ask the prefect of Kangcheng to come out and hand over to me, but it is getting late, and I can't go back to Sudong now, so I can only go to the city to spend the night." ”

The guard smiled nonchalantly: "Actually, Gu County Ling had already handed over the person to Lord Taiwei as early as Su Dong, so there was really no need to do more." On the side of the prefect of Cannes, Lord Taiwei will tell him. If Gu Xian Ling wants to leave, he can do it at any time, Lord Taiwei said, he has never valued these false courtesies. ”

Gu Wenliang took a deep breath and sneered: "In this case, please tell Lord Taiwei that the next official has taken his leave" After that, he turned around and threw his sleeves away. The guard looked at his departing back, smiled contemptuously, and then turned back and continued to whisper and laugh with his companions, completely oblivious to the matter.

Gu Wenliang came to the cowshed to look for his carriage, but he didn't expect to see the attendant reasoning with a sergeant. The latter insisted on taking all the fodder from the cowshed and feeding the horses, but the squire said that he had just brought it back from outside to feed the horses, so how could he give it? It's a pity that he was thin, and within two blows, he was pushed to the ground by the sergeant, and the forage was also robbed.

Gu Wenliang stepped forward with a gloomy face and said, "Don't pay attention to him, let's go into the city."

The attendant hurriedly got up and asked, "Second Young Master, can we enter the city?" It seems that the Captain is planning to stay here for the night. ”

Gu Wenliang snorted coldly: "He said that there is no need for me here, so he is in a hurry to send me away, do you think others don't know?" King Zheng stopped in the city, he refused to enter the city for a long time, just to ask the princess to agree to his conditions, he is really old and confused, at this time, he is not afraid of being reckoned with."

After that, he didn't pay much attention to it, and directly asked the attendant to pack his luggage, and then got in the car and left. It's just that the carriage is going a little slowly, and he is on fire in his heart, so he said angrily: "What's the matter?" Is the horse out of strength? The attendant said with a bitter face: "Second young master, our horse hasn't eaten grass for a day, I wanted to feed it just now, but I asked someone to snatch it away, but there is really no way." Gu Wenliang snorted heavily and didn't say anything more.

The carriage walked slowly for two and a half hours before reaching the city gate, and the soldiers guarding the gate had already closed half of the gate, Gu Wenliang took out the identity of the Sudong County Order, so that he could say anything wrong, so that they could reopen the city gate and let his carriage in.

Entering the city, Gu Wenliang's whole person relaxed. Although he had never been to Wen Yi's residence in Cannes, he had heard the address in the letter, so he ordered his attendants to drive the carriage in that direction, leaning against the wall of the carriage and closing his eyes to recuperate. Who knew that it didn't take long for the horse pulling the carriage to do something, and suddenly his front legs knelt down, driving the whole carriage to fall on the side of the road, and he was almost thrown out of the carriage, startled: "What's the matter?" What's going on? ”

The squire had already fallen to the side of the street, his right calf crushed under the horse, and his expression was so painful that he could barely speak. Gu Wenliang climbed out of the car in embarrassment to check, and found that the horse's front legs were broken, and the attendant's injuries were not light, so he hurriedly called a few pedestrians to help, moved the horse away, and rescued the attendant out.

At this time, it was almost dusk, and the lights were on, Gu Wenliang looked at the location he was in, and couldn't help but sigh unlucky, and a little lucky. They were in a bustling street, with a lot of people coming and going, and there were shops nearby, including cars and horses. He only brought a servant with him, and he was injured, so naturally it was impossible to walk to Wen Yi's house, so he was busy hiring a car in the carriage and horse shop to drive their master and servant away. As for the broken carriage and horse, he left it to be repaired by the chariot dealer, and he ordered someone to fetch it later.

As soon as they walked with their front feet, the men of the carriage and horse dealer went out to help the carriage, and one of them turned to the back of the carriage and tried to lift the carriage, when a flower appeared in front of him, and he was startled, and was about to see it more clearly, but the man was gone, and he could not help rubbing his eyes.

"Strange?" He muttered in his heart, "Where did someone get out of it?" ”

How did Gu Wenliang know that this strange thing happened behind him? He soon came to Wen Yi's house with his attendants, and Shu Ping saw that someone was injured, so he hurriedly sent someone to ask for a doctor, and personally helped the injured to rest without mentioning it. Wen Yi, Jiang Shi and others in the inner courtyard received the news and hurriedly greeted the door, but Wen Hui did not move. She has never been close to the second room, and besides, she is the daughter who has not come out of the cabinet, so it doesn't matter if she doesn't come to greet her.

Gu Wenliang first greeted the Jiang family, and then asked about the recent situation of Wen Yi and his wife, and when he learned that Liu Dongxing had not returned home, he sighed: "I originally had something to discuss with him, but I didn't expect him to come back yet, has he been so busy recently?" ”

Wen Yi said: "I was a little busy some time ago, but I've been much better recently, and I should be back for dinner tonight." If the second brother is really in a hurry, I will ask someone to find him. ”

Gu Wenliang was also polite: "Then ask the ninth sister to send someone, my matter is really important."

Wen Yi was a little surprised in her heart, and after ordering someone to go, she asked tentatively, "What is the matter?" I heard that the second brother escorted Princess Zheng and the prince back to Qingzhou with Taiwei Zheng, why did the second brother enter the city alone? ”

Gu Wenliang sighed heavily, and was silent for a while before saying, "It's for this matter that I'm in a hurry to find the ninth brother-in-law." Some people are confused and refuse to listen to people, and I am really worried that they will be affected in the future."

Jiang Shi was puzzled: "Brother Liang, what happened?" Can you tell us about it? ”

Gu Wenliang didn't continue the topic, and asked Wen Hui instead: "I heard that the sixth sister has been living in Cannes for a long time, what's going on?" No matter how much the eldest aunt spoils her daughter, she shouldn't be too indulgent. The reputation of the sixth sister is already at a loss, and if you indulge her to live outside for a long time, what will outsiders think? The sixth sister has never allowed others, do you want to marry if you continue like this? ”

Originally, he could only be regarded as a relatively outstanding child in the clan, but as the second room took over as the patriarch, he became an official again, his prestige became more and more serious, and he had the confidence to speak, and suddenly raised such a question, Jiang, as an elder, was speechless for a while, and only said after a while: "She is not having a good time in Guzhuang, the nine girls invited her to relax, and she came, what is the big deal?" ”

Gu Wenliang said: "This is wrong. The ninth sister is already married, and she is a younger sister, and there are no elders around her, so the sixth sister should not come over because of reason, even if it is to avoid suspicion, she should not come over for a long time, even the ninth sister will be tired."

There was a hint of anger on Jiang's face, but he immediately understood what he meant, and couldn't help but be shocked. Wen Hui borrowed it from Wen Yi's house, although it was to visit relatives, but Wen Yi and his wife were still young, this suspicion should be avoided, if someone gossiped about Wen Hui and Liu Dongxing in the future, Wen Hui's future would really be ruined

Wen Yi was a little unimpressed: "Second brother is too worried." Xianggong and I didn't live here originally, but because of the Chinese New Year, the garrison was closed, so we went to live in the city, but Xianggong was busy with business and often didn't go home, and the sixth sister didn't come to visit our husband and wife more than to be my companion. Besides, my grandmother will be coming over soon, and my husband and wife will be going back to Cannes at that time, what gossip can others have? ”

Gu Wenliang sighed: "Ninth sister, although you have good intentions, but it is really not a good way to let the sixth sister wander outside. I've heard some news from my hometown, but this is the housekeeping of the long room, and we can still say a few words in the second room, but you are not good at interfering in the sixth room. ”

As soon as he said this, Wen Yi had to shut up, but Jiang's eyes were red: "Brother Liang, since you know the difficulties of our mother and daughter, you can think of ideas for us." You have now become an official, a pro, an adult, and your identity is not as good as before, you can say good things for our Hui'er in the clan."

Gu Wenliang said helplessly: "Auntie, what's the use of my nephew saying a lot of good things for the sixth sister?" The clan doesn't want to have a daughter with a bad reputation, to be honest, the sixth sister is not young, if the eldest aunt has a heart, she will find a similar family for her, and marry her quietly. As long as she gets married, her life will be safe and stable, and where will others remember anything in a few years? ”

Jiang Shi sniffed: "I have also seen a lot of people for her, and several of your aunts have told me a lot of candidates, but there are few suitable ......."

"The aunts are naturally enthusiastic and well-intentioned." Gu Wenliang said lightly, "But the sixth sister's family affairs are extraordinary, and the eldest aunt should also have her own ideas." Frankly speaking, the sixth sister said that it is best not to choose a family that is too high, as long as it is a child of a scholar with an innocent family background and an honest character, if someone in the family is an official, do not have an official position too high, and the reputation cannot be too obvious. In a word, the more bad the name, the better."

Jiang Shi was a little surprised, and he was a little disapproving: "What is the name of our Gu family, how can we marry our daughter casually......"

"The eldest aunt's words are wrong" Gu Wenliang had a hint of sarcasm between his eyebrows, "If the family is too high, he will dislike the sixth sister, but it is better to be a slightly inferior person, who is not only decent, but also has scruples." In fact, the situation of the sixth sister, not only to find a family with a lower rank, but also to be a local in Pingyang, if it is from other places, then you must explain the matter of the sixth sister to others, even if it is to avoid the important and lightly, you can't hide it"

Jiang Shi was shocked, thinking that Gu Wenliang was crazy: "Brother Liang, are you confused?" Those things are known, who is willing to marry Hui'er? ”

"It's better to tell in advance, and let others decide whether to marry or not, it's better to let people know after marrying, and then be divorced" Gu Wenliang said categorically, "That's why I said that locals are the best, don't talk about the roots, and don't mention the old things to others, if the sixth sister is wronged in her in-law's family, our mother's family is close, and we can also support her." This kind of thing is married, what decency is fake, the most important thing is that the sixth sister can live well after marrying, even if it is gossip for a while, it doesn't matter, after two years, when the sixth sister has children, she will have confidence in her in-law's family, and a little absurd behavior when she was a child has become a thing of the past, no need to say it from her mother's family, her mother-in-law's family will support her"

Jiang sat there with a pale face, speechless for a long time. Wen Yi felt that Wen Liang's words were reasonable, so she persuaded her softly: "Auntie, the words of the second brother are really good words, you should think about it, what is the identity of the family is secondary, what you are looking forward to the most, isn't it that the sixth sister can be safe and healthy all her life?" ”

Jiang let out a long sigh, but still didn't speak. At this time, someone from outside reported that Liu Dongxing had returned, and Gu Wenliang hurriedly got up: "I'll go talk to him." Ninth sister, we may talk for a long time, please bring dinner over, disturb your husband and wife's dinner, and I will come back to ask for sin. ”

Wen Yi naturally smiled and said that it didn't matter, and hurriedly accompanied him out to welcome Liu Dongxing. Jiang stayed in the house, his expression changed unpredictably, and after thinking for a long time, he suddenly remembered a person.

At this moment, far away in the inner alley of Fuxi Street, two streets away, Shen Tu just poked his head out and observed a mansion shrouded in the shade of trees from a distance. According to Princess Zheng's description, he looked around, and only this mansion was closest to the one in the description, but he guarded it for a while, and he didn't see anyone coming in or out, so he couldn't tell whether the prince was inside. After hesitating for a while, he decided to sneak into the house in the middle of the night to investigate.

Just as he was about to retreat, a fast horse galloped to the door of the house and stopped, and as soon as the rider jumped off the horse, he rushed to the gate and knocked on the door panel vigorously: "Open the door Chen Laosi, you hurry up and open the door for me"

Shen Tugang's pupils shrank, he recognized this voice, this was a henchman of the Zhu family, when he led someone to infiltrate the Zhu family and broke the legs of Zhu Xiuyun's father, this person was present. Could it be that the Zhu family also knows the whereabouts of the son? Although he had been mentally prepared, could he have been in time for this too soon?。.。
