057 Exhausted Xu Taishou (Five Watches)
One is full of "stinky problems", and the other has consciously learned one-ten-thousandth of its "stinky problems", and in his bones he is full of the character of not saying anything and sleeping without sleeping.
The two of them had a silent breakfast together, as they had been many years ago, slow and elegant.
Gu Yansheng is not much older than Shi Huan, but the experience when he was a child always made Shi Huan feel a little stunned of this cousin in his heart, like the kind of stunned face of the unsmiling elders in the clan. But in the end, after getting along for so many days day and night, there is a bit of closeness and dependence that others can't match.
After finishing breakfast, the dishes and chopsticks were quickly removed, the girl brought a copper basin, the basin was filled with most of the warm water, there were jasmine petals floating on the water, another woman held the jasmine-scented pancreas, and the remaining one, on the tray was two neatly folded towels, both of which were just the right temperature.
These are all Gu Yansheng's maids, all of whom are as beautiful as immortals.
This person, who came all the way to Taihe County, really moved the crowd.
After washing their hands in a complicated process, the girls lowered their heads and retreated in silence, obviously well-trained. Shi Huan thoughtfully, "You don't shy away from it at all...... I heard that the third prince is the most honest and loves the people, and his daily breakfast is no more than a bowl of white porridge. β
Gu Yansheng smiled, broke the new teapot, got tea for Shi Huan, and handed it to her, "Warm your hands...... What about avoiding secrecy, if I am obscure, he will be suspicious, it is better to be an idle prince comfortably, not to ask about political affairs, and not to be involved in court politics...... Left and right, as long as I don't commit the big crime of seeking power and usurping power, he will not be able to touch me. A lifetime of glory and wealth is indispensable to me. β
That's true.
At that time, the emperor issued that holy decree to choose the world with the daughter of the Shi family, which seemed to be the emperor's grace, but in fact, it put the entire Shi family in a dilemma. How to choose an emperor for a female stream? To put it bluntly, isn't the entire Shi family choosing? In order to clear his reputation, Gu Yansheng has been removed from the imperial candidates.
Not only that, Shi Hao was on the right side, and the emperor married the daughter of the left minister, so that the court and the harem were balanced by the two phases, and no one could suppress whom, so the throne was particularly stable.
The Shi family, which seems to be in full glory, is actually walking on thin ice.
Gu Yansheng poured himself a cup of tea, didn't drink it, held it in his hand and shook it leisurely, looking at a small broken floating leaf on it, his brows frowned - His Royal Highness Gu Yanchen couldn't see such an unparticular tea.
He put down the teacup, his brows did not loosen, "When I came, the queen mother asked me to bring a word." β
Shi Huan, "Huh? β
She said...... The family is not what it used to be, and it has long been a thorn in His Majesty's heart. But this thorn was not something he could pull out if he wanted to, so ...... She wants me to tell you that she knows that you have always taken care of the big picture, but she is worried that you are too much concerned about the big picture. β
"Today's Shi family, if you protect you, you can still protect it. You can do whatever you want. β
The autumn wind rises, and the fallen leaves in the courtyard are swept and fallen, always with a sense of depression. The sunlight fell from the branches where most of the leaves had fallen, and it was bright and warm, but the wind was still cold, and the coolness was transmitted from the fingertips and the backs of the hands to the limbs and backs.
Gu Yansheng's words were like a small cluster of flames, gently falling somewhere in his body, faint, but ironed.
Heart...... For people like them, it's the most extravagant. The foundation that the family has worked hard for a hundred years and several generations has worked hard to accumulate is like a big ship that looks indestructible, and many outsiders envy it, but only they know that in the vast and boundless torrent of time, they have done their best just to avoid reefs and wind and waves.
I don't care if I follow my heart.
Shi Huan gently put the teacup in her hand, smiled slightly with her eyebrows, and the smile emanated from the bottom of her heart, melting all the indifference in her eyes, making her look like a fourteen-year-old girl, with the grace of a Jiangnan woman, "I know." I won't be wronged by myself. β
Sounds like the real thing.
But Gu Yansheng knows, this girl...... Habitually wronged himself.
He sighed silently, looked at the sky, got up, bent down and meticulously smoothed out the folds that had just sat out, and then said, "Let's go, the old man should get up." A while ago, the letter sent to the queen mother said that her body and bones are much better this year? β
"Hmm. The old lady of the Fu family has always sent some medicine over the past two years. In fact, the original was not as serious as the news received by the imperial capital...... It's just that I'm worried that His Majesty is urging me to go back, so I said it seriously. β
Gu Yansheng came here last year, and he generally guessed that this was the case. But it's true that the body bones are not good, when you are old, there are always some pains here and there in autumn and winter, even if the doctor has good medical skills, he can't prescribe a radical cure.
While he was talking, he saw a strange little girl coming out of it, dressed in a black tights, a little charlatan, not like the dress of a maid in the house, and walked up to Gu Yansheng and saluted. Gu Yansheng's eyes swept the other party from head to toe with sharp eyes before asking, "New girl?" What about smoking? β
The gaze was sharp, as if with a cold glow, Shi Huan was not aware of it, but Pian Yu clearly felt the other party's spying.
"Well, it's called Katayu." Shi Huan didn't explain too much, put on his cloak, "Let's go." β
Gu Yansheng stepped up to follow, and inadvertently looked back at the little maid behind him - the other party followed behind him with low eyebrows, silent, restrained, and even looked a little unseasonably stuffy, but ...... is a little girl who makes people a little jealous at first sight.
β¦β¦
It was a little foggy in the morning, not very big. Virtually and realistically wrapped in the bright and unlit world, there is a kind of girl who still holds the pipa and half-covers her face to refuse to welcome.
Those who are early risers are already up, and those who fall asleep are still asleep.
Xu Taishou belongs to the latter, he has been a little exhausted in the past two days, and he didn't fall asleep until the early hours of the morning, but he also slept unsteadily, tossing and turning half-asleep and half-awake.
Suddenly, the sound of heavy objects falling in the courtyard woke him up all of a sudden.
Three or two steps tore through the robe on the screen, and hurriedly pushed the door open while draped it on, and greeted the guards who heard the sound and rushed to meet each other, and their eyes fell on an extra eye-catching hemp bag in the courtyard.
The guard stepped forward to untie it, and a man rolled out of it.
It's dead.
A confession letter in his arms explained in detail the whole process of taking money from others and eliminating disasters for others, and named the person in the letter as Shen Shilang of the Ministry of Rites, which is now in full swing.
Mrs. Taishou was dressed neatly, and when she came to take a look, her eyes fell on the end of the letterhead, and her face turned white with frightβa blood-colored puppet mark, in the dim light, shocking.
Photo studio.
Xu Taishou didn't speak, for a long time, he carefully folded the letterhead in his hand, stored it close to his body, and explained to his subordinates, "Send the body to the dungeon and let the servant come over for an autopsy." Remember, don't let anyone find out. β
