Chapter 284: Stealing Joy

When he returned to the door, Gu Wen saw that the red silk on the porch at the door had been removed, revealing five large bronzing characters: "Chief Consultant's Mansion". Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

These five characters are silver hook iron paintings, and they are very generous, which is the imperial pen of Chu Emperor Xiang Yan.

In fact, before Gu Wen entered Beijing, this gold-lettered plaque had been prepared. It's just that the necessary cutscenes are still needed:

"Gu Wen met Emperor Chu in person, and presented an important policy to level the world. So Long Yan was happy, and wanted to seal it with Zaifu. Wen Jian didn't accept it. The emperor admired its high wind and bright festival, so he personally sealed the 'chief consultant', and wrote a plaque to show his merits. Hearing three words is acceptable. ”

This paragraph recorded in the history books not only commends Gu Wen's high style and bright festival, but also highlights the Chu Emperor's good knowledge. In short, it is a good minister of the Ming Dynasty, and the great Chu is prosperous.

Of course, what the real situation is, it is not enough for outsiders.

According to a drunken nonsense from a little yellow door on duty outside the gate of Changle Palace, His Majesty the Emperor had an interview with the chief adviser, Mr. Gu Wen, for nearly two hours. His Majesty the Emperor also burst into hearty laughter from time to time.

It's just that in the last short period of time, the two big people who made Xiao Huangmen look up had a fierce dispute about a strange thing called "consultant fee".

At the end of the heated debate, the two could vaguely be heard having a warm and friendly discussion on popular search terms such as "greedy ghost", "miser", "little slippery head" and "old immortal".

Of course, when His Majesty the Emperor and Mr. Gu left, they were both smiling amiably, obviously reaching a gentlemen's agreement of peaceful coexistence, friendship and unity.

said that Xiang Yan returned from Changle to Kunhe Palace with a spring breeze on his face. I saw a tall young girl turn out from behind the screen, dressed in a silver fur, with a heroic look in her beautiful face, but it was her baby daughter Xiang Mingyue.

In the past four years, Xiang Mingyue has grown from a little beauty embryo to a 17-year-old stunning girl, enjoying the reputation of "the first beauty in Dachu".

If it weren't for the identity of the royal princess, the suitors would be able to line up from Di'anmen to the mouth of the Miluo River. Even if she has the status of a royal princess, the noble children who want to be a concubine can row from the Temple of Heaven to the foot of Xiangshan.

However, Xiang Mingyue is gentle and kind to everyone, and treats everyone equally, so she can't see who she has a special meaning.

Although she vaguely guessed that there was something strange about it, Xiang Yan was reluctant to let her little daughter marry so early, and she was confused with her right to understand.

But Xiang Mingyue said that she had seen her father, smiled, and said softly: "Father, have you seen him today?"

Xiang Yan's heart turned slightly, but he said with a smile on his face: "He? Who is he? I have seen a hundred or ten people today, who knows which one he is?"

Xiang Mingyue didn't dodge, and said bluntly generously: "I naturally asked Gu Wen that kid." Hmph, he promised me a birthday cake every year. It's been four years, and I haven't sent it once. ”

Xiang Yan feigned anger and said: "How can this be reasonable! Without faith, man does not stand. Dare to deceive my precious daughter, let alone punish a deception, not to deceive the princess. ”

"What is the crime of bullying the princess?" Knowing that his father is no better than his daughter, Xiang Mingyue naturally knew that his father was pretending, and said with a slight annoyance:

"Father, don't talk nonsense, you are a golden mouth, you can't be believed. What will others say about us for a trivial sin and a humerus?"

"Who dares to say me?" Emperor Xiang couldn't help laughing, but said with a straight face: "What kind of humerus minister? This kid surnamed Gu has no loyalty and patriotism at all, and he is unwilling to serve the country, so he wants to be some kind of consultant." ”

"As long as others can afford the price, the consultant can serve others, and the girl in the green house who is as good as she can be... Ahem..."Xiang Yan accidentally said that she missed her mouth, and hurriedly coughed twice to cover it up.

Xiang Mingyueqiao's face was slightly red, she reached out and gently scraped her cheek, and complained: "Father, you always don't cover your mouth. Gu Wen that his main career counselor was like this, and he couldn't be blamed. As long as we keep hiring him, he will not be the same for the country. ”

Xiang Yan sighed slightly: "Mingyue, although the words are so, but Gu Wen is so talented, but he can't guarantee loyalty, after all, it is a hidden worry." If one day in the future he really runs to help Da Chu's enemies, I will start to eradicate him, you can't stop him. ”

Xiang Mingyue also sighed softly, but nodded: "That's true, with his talent, once he stands on the opposite side of Da Chu, he is definitely an extreme threat, and he must be ruthless." ”

"Private friendship is private friendship, and public before private is the truth. If that day comes, I'll get rid of him myself. ”

When Xiang Mingyue said this, her back straightened, and the white-gold qi that was so dense that it was close to liquefaction steamed up, and it was already close to the top hero.

The momentum on her body shook and quickly dissipated, and she continued, "I hope this day will never come." ”

Stroking the long beard under his chin, Xiang Yan nodded and said, "Mingyue, your martial arts level has improved again. You have to take it easy, if you accidentally become a real person. It's really difficult to find a handsome real guy of the same age. ”

Xiang Mingyue snorted lightly: "What a life-level handsome guy, father, you talk nonsense all day long and ignore you." As he spoke, he stuck out his tongue and squinted his eyes and grimaced, turned around and walked away.

Xiang Yan looked at the back of her daughter Miaoman, and sighed softly: "Born in the royal family, I can't help myself. As a father, you can only do your best. ”

It's a pity that Gu Wen's trouser belt is too loose, so he got married in a hurry. Otherwise, it might be a good thing to get the best of both worlds. ”

"Forget it, these problems of children's affection are not good at widows. What Gu Xiaozi said just now reminded me that I need to plan quickly. ”

"The opportunity for decisive victory is thousands of miles away, and the strategy for long-term victory is not in battle. This Gu Wen is indeed a little different, but it's a pity..."

Xiang Yan shook her head regretfully, and called a yellow door to inform the third prince Taifu Xu Xuan, Taishi Lan Yan and Taiwei Gao Qiu, Hanlin Academy scholar Pang Xuanjie, academician Ge Yuchen and others to enter the palace and prepare to hold a meeting overnight to discuss the "important matters" that Gu Wen said.

On the other hand, Gu Wen received the title of "Royal Chief Advisor", and he didn't dare to slack off, so he first reported the good news to the fourth elder, the old lady Xu Xiaofeng, and the daughter-in-law Russell.

Xu Xiaofeng was accustomed to her son's magic, and patted Gu Wen's shoulder to express encouragement (she was going to pat her head, but Gu Wen has grown a little tall in the past few years, and it is inconvenient to pat her head), and then she followed the housekeeper's daughter-in-law and went out to Nanshi to go shopping.

The housekeeper Liu Gui is shrewd and capable, and handles the family affairs in an orderly manner. But for Xu Xiaofeng, it is too luxurious to use. Therefore, I specially asked the housekeeper and daughter-in-law to accompany each other and buy some handy household goods.

The old party had nothing to do in the house, so he simply asked Xiaoqing to set up a donkey cart to send it away, and the purchased things were also placed on the cart by the way.

The four elders in the family are old, they don't worry about everything, and they don't like to move, except for chanting, they just sit at a table and play mahjong. It is said that since Gu Wen "invented" mahjong, there is no need to worry about the four old people being bored.

Speaking of which, it seems that only the daughter-in-law Russell has some insight and knows the glory and risks behind the word "royal".

Russell smiled and said some congratulatory words softly, but there was a slight sadness between his eyebrows.

Although Russell's father was a culinary master, he did not get the title of "imperial chef".

Otherwise, as long as the word "royal" is hung on the name, in addition to the royal family, no other nobles dare to do it, and they will not end up in seclusion with injuries and depressed.

Gu Wen and Russell have been familiar for a long time, and seeing the uneasiness in Russell's heart, he couldn't help but take Russell in his arms with pity and gently kiss her hair to comfort her.

Russell snuggled up in Gu Wen's arms, enjoying this pity, and felt extraordinarily warm.

The two of them muttered nicknamed, Qingqing and I, I couldn't help but open the isolation formation of the study in broad daylight, and secretly tasted the forbidden fruit in the study.

After breaking the vow last night, the young couple who had been absent for a long time seemed to have returned to the time when they had just been infatuated with each other, and they couldn't help but act boldly.

Half an hour later, Russell hurriedly combed his slightly messy long hair, carefully tidied up his dress, and ran away with his head bowed with a red afterglow on his pink neck.

Gu Wen lazily sat on the large chair with Huanghuali hollow carved plum and bamboo in front of the desk, looking at the roof of the study and his head was empty. At this time, there was a thought in my heart:

"It would be perfect if I could have a cigarette. It's a pity that there is no such thing here. In the future, if you go for a walk in the mountains, you may be able to find wild tobacco leaves. ”

After thinking about it, Gu Wen couldn't help but laugh dumbly:

"Forget it, since cigarettes don't exist, don't get them out, they will get a miasma everywhere. ”

I feel that I am noble again, and Gu Wen's mood is great.

It's a pity that a military commander spy brought a piece of news, which suddenly made Gu Wen's good mood fall to the ground and became entangled:

"Xiao Ying is coming. (To be continued.) )
