Gu Mingchao knocked on the report on the case, "How many people are left in the Chen Imperial Family?"

Yoda thought for a moment, "There are more than a hundred people in the clan."

Gu Mingchao unfolded the report, "Move the slightly famous ones to Yandu."

"Childe, Zhang Nian asks to see you." Gui Hong bowed at the door with a medicinal smell.

Gu Mingchao's hand paused, "Please."

Yoda sat with the sword at his waist.

"The grass people have seen Childe." Zhang Nian's unshaven beard was slightly surprised.

"General Zhang, please get up, you might as well tell me what you have to do." Gu Mingchao looked at him.

Zhang Nian arched his hand, "Childe, my master died violently last night, please allow the grass people to escort the master's coffin back to Shaozhou."

Shaozhou has been taken over by Jiangning, Gu Zhe'an is no longer useful, Gu Mingchao thought for a moment and said, "After all, the general's hands are short of manpower, so I'll send someone to join the general."

Zhang Nian kowtowed, "Gongzi Xie."

Yoda looked at his dejected back, "Childe, why does Gu Zhe'an have to die?"

Gu Mingchao sighed, "He has never accepted the reality that he has become the deposed prince, in his heart, he is the king of this country, and what he does for his people is only to let them save their lives when the country is broken. Of course he can't accept it."

Yoda scoffed, "This ...... I'll leave it to the history books to evaluate him."

Gu Mingchao took advantage of the open window to look at Zhang Nian, whose back was slightly bent, and said softly, "It's a pity that there is only one scrap prince in the history books."

The wind blew in, rolling up the paperweight in Gu Mingchao's hand, and the ink dots on the tip of the pen splashed on the paper at random, so messy that the handwriting could not be seen clearly.

"I want to see Gu Mingchao!" The noisy sound mingled into the snowstorm, making the snow day noisy.

"Childe, it's Hua Shenjiang, the wife of the Fan Yang Lu family." Yoda went out to check it out.

"Let her in." Gu Mingchao casually wrote the ink-stained fold, sealed it with wax and handed it to Yoda.

"Gu Gongzi." Hua Shen Jiang bowed slightly, and as soon as they met, she put on the usual clean and tall appearance of the family.

Gu Mingchao clasped his hands together, his bones were distinct, he rested his chin on it, and learned Xie Song's appearance of scrutiny, "Mrs. Hua, I don't know what you want to see me?"

Hua Shen Jiang straightened his cuffs unhurriedly, "The identity of the prince will be difficult in the court of the Zhou State in the future......

"Mrs. Hua laughed, and she was Xie Songzhao's disciple. is a person in the court, so how can it be difficult." Gu Mingchao straightened up amuseously and put Xie Songzhao's official seal and private seal on the desk.

Hua Shen Jiang glanced at it, "When you are used, naturally when you are a treasure, Childe should not be so innocent, right?" I haven't even heard of the birds."

Gu Mingchao laughed, "Mrs. Hua, you don't have to use such a clumsy divisive strategy. Even if there is an abyss in front of me, as long as he speaks, I will jump down." Reaching out and playing with the private seal in his hand, his slender fingers pinched the two-inch-long white jade seal, as if pinching the other party's throat.

Hua Shen Jiang sneered, "That's really ...... Be faithful." The words changed, "Gu Mingchao, you can't make a single filament, you can't make a forest alone, if he wants to abandon you in the future, it's like kicking a dog, don't you plan for yourself at all?"

Gu Mingchao leaned back for a long time, "Tell me, what deal does Mrs. Hua want to make with me?"

Hua Shen Jiang took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, unfolded it, and placed it in front of Gu Mingchao's eyes, "This is the deal I want to make with Gongzi."

"I'm just Xie Songzhao's apprentice, and there is no support behind me, so it's really not a wise move for Mrs. Hua to choose me." Gu Mingchao flicked the rice paper lightly.

Hua Shen Jiang bent slightly, "As long as you marry my daughter of the Lu family, then in the future, Fan Yang Lu and Pingyuan Hua will be the support of the son."

Gu Mingchao raised his head and nodded his eyebrows with his fingertips, "Mrs. Hua, I have no ambition in the next and no goal in the second, you choose me, it's really a good idea, it's better for me to recommend a good place for you." Z.br>

Hua Shen Jiang straightened up, "Gu Gongzi, do you want to say that you will enter the palace as a crown princess and concubine?"

？」

Gu Mingchao raised his eyebrows, "Why not?"

Of course not, this Lu girl is just a trivial concubine, let alone sent to the palace, just take out the name, the one in Taichang Temple can't be seen?

Hua Shen Jiang smiled, "Gu Gongzi, it's hard to accept your kindness."

Gu Mingchao's heart suddenly understood, "That lady still has someone to choose."

Hua Shen Jiang was faintly impatient, "Who?"

"Xie Songzhao, he is twenty-three years old, but he has no wife, and he has a lot of prestige in the court, and I am completely obedient to him, isn't it not that my wife chooses him?"

Hua Shenjiang was a little moved, but Xie Songzhao was a member of Jiangzuo Xie's family, and she was married to her in-law's daughter...... I'm afraid I won't be able to descend, this side branch ......

Gu Mingchao couldn't refuse to call Yoda in, "Yoda, please ask Mrs. Hua to see Master Hou."

Hua Shenjiang could only hurriedly take away the paper that Fang had just given to Gu Mingchao, and walked out with a calm face. Gu Mingchao also got up and went around Xie Songzhao's room from the back door.

Xie Songzhao was lying on the bed staring at the beams of the room, and Dou Siyuan was sitting next to him playing chess in a startled manner, whether he was asleep or not, and he was not allowed to watch chess when he was awake, so he could only stare dryly.

"Master Hou, Lord Dou, Gongzi sent Hua Shenjiang, the wife of the Fan Yang Lu clan, over." Guihong pushed open a slit and squeezed half of his face in.

Xie Songzhao's eyes lit up, "Please."

Dou Siyuan turned around and put a pillow on his back, and muttered, "What a moth."

Xie Songzhao said softly: "He knows that I am bored, so he sent me to relieve my boredom."

Dou Siyuan smacked his tongue, "You two masters and apprentices are really ......."

"Master Xie." Hua Shen Jiang's voice was calm.

Xie Songzhao pulled the mattress up, "Mrs. Hua is polite, I don't know what happened when I came to the door today?"

Hua Shen Jiang asked step by step, "I heard that Hou Ye has a beloved apprentice, named Ming Dynasty, who is close to a weak crown and has not yet been married, and Fan Yang Lu has a daughter, who is very compatible with your beloved apprentice."

Xie Songzhao and Dou Siyuan were stunned at the same time, both of them saw the incredulity in each other's eyes, Xie Songzhao touched the tip of the pen in embarrassment, "Has Mrs. Hua ever discussed with the Ming Dynasty?"

Hua Shen Jiang said, "Gu Gongzi said that you should adjudicate the marriage for him."

Xie Song tapped his eyebrows upwards with his fingertips, "What does he say about this marriage?"

Hua Shenjiang saw Xie Songzhao's thoughts following Gu Mingchao's thoughts, "Gongzi said, listen to you."

Gu Mingchao, who was behind the screen, leaned against the pillar and sneered.

Xie Songzhao coughed, "Hmm...... This is ...... Call him to ask on my behalf, and give Mrs. Hua a word tomorrow. If the Ming Dynasty is willing, I will hire him, and if he doesn't have this intention, then Xie will make amends to Mrs. Hua for him."

Hua Shen Jiang smiled appropriately, "Then there will be Master Lao."

Xie Song looked at his head.

Dou Siyuan put down his calm pretense and croaked, "What does this mean? Xiao Ming Dynasty this is intentional? But I'm sorry to tell you?"

Xie Songzhao slapped his hand away, "Nonsense, he should be shy when he encounters this kind of thing for the first time."

Dou Siyuan's eyes widened, "He...... Is he shy? Songzhao, you ......."

Xie Songzhao retracted his hand back into the quilt, "I'm worried, the Lu family will take a daughter to prevaricate him."

Dou Siyuan sneered, "What are you afraid of, cooperation is not sincere, the mountain is high and the road is far away, if there is any accident, they are beyond the reach of the whip."

Xie Songzhao glared at him, "Let me tell you, if you don't teach him this, he will be a gentleman who is glorious and beautiful, but he can't be led astray by you."

Dou Siyuan pounded the bed wrongfully, "What do you say, your apprentice......

"Lord Dou." Gu Mingchao came out in time to stop his words, "I'll take care of Songzhao, Lord Dou go and rest."

Dou Siyuan swallowed his words, got up and patted his ass and left.

Gu Mingchao stepped forward and gently tucked the quilt for him, "I am in charge of the money in the Hou Mansion, where did you get the money to hire me for me?"

Xie Songzhao smiled helplessly and reached out to knock him on the forehead

head, "I'm a first-class military marquis, do I only rely on a little bit of money to get by?"

Gu Mingchao's eyelids drooped slightly, covering most of his eyes, "So that's the case, private money really can't be known to others."

Xie Song saw his aggrieved appearance, and immediately disarmed and surrendered, "Alas...... It's not a big deal, the thirteenth floor of the most prestigious restaurant in Yandu knows, right?"

Gu Mingchao grabbed his hand and stuffed it back, "You drove it?"

Xie Songzhao nodded, "Yes, sell the Golden Cave."

Gu Mingchao leaned closer, "I can't see it, Master Hou still has the ability to do business."

Xie Songzhao stretched out his hand again and rubbed his head, "It's all Fei Changshi taking care of it, if you want to learn when you go back, go find him."

Gu Mingchao stuffed him back again, "Cover your hands, I'm not interested in your private money."

Xie Songzhao sighed, "All this money was spent on you, are you still angry with me?"

Gu Mingchao looked at him sideways, Xie Songzhao squinted and smiled: "Your clothes are not cheap, they are all hard to find, the money on the thirteenth floor does not enter the account books of the Hou Mansion, and it is my private treasury."

Gu Mingchao's face turned a little pale, turned around to pour tea, and said in a low voice, "I didn't care about this."

Xie Songzhao coughed with his head sideways, and Gu Mingchao hurriedly put down the teacup to give him relief, "How are you? Would you like to invite Lord Luo over?"

Xie Songzhao waved his hand and slowed down for a while, "It's okay......

Gu Mingchao helped him lie back, "What do you think of what Hua Shenjiang said?"

Xie Songzhao rubbed the corners of his forehead, "As far as I know, the daughters of the three branches of the Lu family have already had marriage contracts, and the women of the Lu family she said will never be ...... Ahem......

"Okay, okay, I see, I won't let people ruin the road you bothered to pave. You sleep for a while, and I'll ask Lord Luo to come and show you." Gu Mingchao hurriedly patted him on the back, "Why don't you just sleep on your side all the time?"

Xie Songzhao waved his hand, "No, you don't have to. How's this going on?"

Gu Mingchao wrapped him tightly, "Don't worry, I can do it."

Xie Songzhao answered softly and slowly fell asleep.

Gu Mingchao got up and closed the door tightly, "Lord Dou, Songzhao is asleep, you ......

"I'll come with you and see if there's anything else I can help with." Dou Siyuan stomped his frozen feet and shrank into a Lantern Festival.

"Please." Gu Ming couldn't ask for it, Xie Songzhao always slept lightly, for fear that someone would disturb him.

"Childe, Lin Shuai has arrived." Yoda almost bumped into Dou Siyuan at the corner under the porch, and took several steps back.

Gu Mingchao's feet sped up, and when he pushed open the simple study, he saw Lin Huchen wiping his knife, "Lin Shuai."

Lin Huchen's gaze on him was complicated, "What about Songzhao?"

Dou Siyuan walked over to the brazier and turned over his roasting hands, "Just fell asleep." Let you go to him in the evening."

"Has Brother's illness improved?" Yun Wan took off the curtain fence and got up.

Gu Mingchao bumped into Dou Siyuan quietly, "I've seen the princess. Back to the princess, the family teacher has not healed and has added new injuries, and needs to recuperate."

Dou Siyuan immediately turned around and bowed, "I've seen the princess."

Lin Huchen put down his Lu Mo knife, "Did he tell him where he was going next?"

Gu Mingchao looked up puzzled, "Where else do you need him to go?" The state of Chen has been destroyed, the south is in civil strife, and it is only a matter of time before Jiang Shuai goes south out of Fuyang and approaches Anyang. He ......"

Lin Huchen inserted the knife back irritably, "There are also Northern Xinjiang and Jiangzuo."
