"The truth about my father's death in the war has not yet been clarified, and my brother was injured due to the same trick, and someone wants to harm my Gu family, how can I stay out of it! Grandmother, you have been protecting me for more than ten years, and I will protect you in the future. Fenghua was resentful, and when he talked about his father, tears couldn't help but roll in his eyes.

At the beginning, the Gu family was far away from the power plot of gangs and factions, in exchange for the carefree childhood of the Fenghua brothers and sisters, the old lady felt that it was extremely cost-effective, even if her son died in the prime of life, which was heartbreaking, but as a general, she was also prepared.

However, when she learned that the death in battle was suspicious, but she could not obtain evidence, she regretted it.

Protecting one's life also means that there is no one to help in times of trouble.

What's even more hateful is that two months ago, a cold arrow also shot at Fenghua's brother Gu Zheng from behind, fortunately, Gu Zheng knew about his father and was always vigilant to escape the catastrophe, only bruising his arm.

Only then did the old lady really realize that someone wanted to destroy the Gu family.

Thinking of this, her eyes darkened, and she whispered to her granddaughter: "After all, grandmother miscalculated." At the beginning, after we and the first emperor inflicted heavy losses on foreign enemies, we made a plan to pursue for 20 years and hold for another 20 years. According to the plan, we have fought the battle that should be fought, and the soil that should be guarded is guarded, and the northwest will be worry-free at that time, and the Gu family will be able to unload the burden. ”

When Fenghua heard about this plan for the first time, he asked, "Does Your Majesty know about this plan?" ”

"Naturally, I know, otherwise I wouldn't have agreed to let us move our family to Jiangnan. But your father's sacrifice disrupted the plan, at that time His Majesty ordered your brother to garrison the northwest, in order to stabilize the morale of the army, and now the original deadline has been pierced, Your Majesty is not at ease, so let us return to Beijing. ”

Previously, Fenghua always felt that the person who wanted to harm the Gu family was the emperor, after all, the entire court knew that the emperor was gathering military power, and now only the Gu family's Zhenxi Army was missing.

Now, it seems, it's not that simple. Fenghua knew that her grandmother didn't like to question the Son of Heaven, so she could only pretend not to care, rolled her eyes, and shouted: "If you go back to Beijing, you will return to Beijing, and you will be married!" It's just a marriage, it's still a wheelchair, and Your Majesty is too bad. ”

"Smack!" The old lady slapped the back of Fenghua's hand with a backhand, "The partition wall has ears, don't be presumptuous." It is taboo for our Gu family to have the military power in our hands for too long, but the northwest is uneven, and we have to defend it, which is a dilemma. ”

Fenghua got up, habitually leaned his ear outside the window to listen, and then approached the old lady's ear, lowered his voice and said: "Two months ago, my master and I caught a dead man, and I didn't ask anything, but I was sure that the person was sent by the capital. We've been hiding far enough, and people don't want to let it go, so let's take the opportunity to come back and see if it's a human or a ghost! ”

The old lady looked at the cautious and clever demeanor, and felt sad, if it wasn't for the last resort, who wouldn't want their children to be innocent forever?

"Having said that, my grandmother still can't help it, our family has always been free to marry, but now it has sacrificed your marriage......"

"Grandmother, don't worry, when the big thing is settled, I want to ask the prince to give me freedom." After a moment, Fenghua became skinny again, "Even if he doesn't give it, won't I run?" Can he catch me in a wheelchair? ”

"You don't have a temperament...... grandchildren held hands, laughed and laughed, and the room was peaceful.

**

At night, on the top floor of the largest ready-to-wear shop in the capital, a man was processing the information he had collected today, and one of the pieces caught his attention.

"Half an hour after Gonggong Liu entered the Gu Mansion, a man in black came from the northwest on a horse, abandoned his horse near the city gate, walked into the city quickly, climbed over the wall and entered the Gu Mansion, and about two quarters of an hour later, Liu Gonggong left the Gu Mansion."

Northwest? Zhenxi Army? It is not unusual for the Gu family to have someone there, but it is just that Gonggong Liu has also announced this decree for too long.

As the man pondered, he pushed his wheelchair to the dark window to overlook most of the capital, and his face emerged from the shadows—it was a handsome face, with a pair of narrow eyes embedded under the slender and thick eyebrows, and the eyes were unfathomable.

He vaguely felt that there was something strange about it, so he handed the information to his subordinates and ordered: "Check this information carefully." ”

"Yes."

**

The next day, after having breakfast with the old lady, Fenghua called Mei Ying and said that he was going to visit the capital.

Just as he was about to go out, Mei Ying behind him asked, "Miss, are you going shopping like this?" ”

Just like in Jiangnan, Gu Fenghua was dressed as a man - wearing a smoke-ink-colored robe, and his black hair was tied up with a jade crown. She is slender and tall, with well-defined facial features, and she is very handsome as a man.

Fenghua looked down at herself, her clothes were clean and tidy; Then he helped the crown of his hair, and it was not crooked.

She was puzzled: "What's wrong?" Got my face dirty? ”

"You're a quasi-seventh princess now, not a handsome son." Mei Ying reminded.

Fenghua blinked and asked, "Are you saying I'm going to dress up as a woman?" It's inconvenient to turn over those clothes? Besides, I didn't write the three big words 'Seven Princesses' in my head, who would know? ”

Dare to go shopping and turn your head?

"Okay." Seeing that her young lady didn't have the slightest sense of being a woman, Mei Ying took a deep breath and moved out of the old lady, "The old lady ordered to buy some women's clothes and jewelry in the capital to prepare for some banquets later." ”

"Feast?" Fenghua didn't understand and didn't like to socialize, so he felt troublesome, but after thinking about it, this was also an opportunity to go to various houses to inquire about the news, so he nodded, "Reasonable!" You lead the way. ”

Mei Ying raised her eyebrows.

From childhood to adulthood, the young lady always took them to dance with knives and guns and turn their heels, and was not interested in women's dresses, jewelry, and makeup at all, but fortunately she finally got the hang of it.

Mei Ying walked straight to Ruyi Building with Fenghua, there were already many people inside, she chattered endlessly: "Ruyi Building is the hottest garment shop and jewelry shop in Beijing, the first and second floors sell ready-to-wear clothes, the third floor sells jewelry, the name 'Ruyi' means that everyone enters here, can return happy." ”

And Fenghua originally wanted Mei Ying to go in and pick a few random pieces, but she subconsciously observed that the height and location of this building were very suitable.

It is not abrupt to say that the Ruyi building is high, there are several higher restaurants in front, but its location is staggered between the high-rise buildings, and the view is not necessarily worse than those conspicuous restaurants.

If you want to choose a high ground to observe the capital, this Ruyi Building is definitely the first choice, and I don't know if this shopkeeper is ingenious or by mistake.

She took a great interest in this building, so she followed Mei Ying into the store.

Mei Ying happily selected all kinds of dazzling clothes, and did not forget to tell her young lady: "Miss, no matter how beautiful the dress is, no matter how surprised you are, don't show it, otherwise you will be underestimated by others." ”

But she looked at those clothes, except that she felt that "it was troublesome to wear", and she didn't feel any difference between them, so she asked, "Why is this Ruyi Building so popular?" ”
