Chapter 231 Charcoal in the Snow

The Li family suddenly sent someone to send a letter over, asking Gu Wanyin to come over.

Gu Wanyin only thought that she wanted to discuss with her about the continuation of the string at first, but who knew that she didn't know that it was not for this. Moreover, it was not the Li family who wanted to see her, but Gu Changhong.

When she saw Gu Changhong, Gu Wanyin vaguely guessed the purpose of the Li family inviting her over, and immediately hurriedly saluted: "Uncle." ”

"Wanyin, you sit down first." Gu Changhong frowned and asked her to sit at the bottom hand. But Li did not quit, but also sat down.

Come to think of it, the Li family also knows what to say.

Sure enough, Gu Changhong didn't tactfully, and went straight to the point: "Does the prince have any news back?" ”

Gu Wanyin lowered her head and sighed: "If there is news coming back, I don't have to worry so much." ”

"That is, you have no news of your own." Gu Changhong stroked his beard and pondered for a moment, then he said tentatively: "Didn't the prince write a letter to his family and come back to report his safety or something?" ”

It seems that Gu Changhong is somewhat unconvinced. Also, the Zhou family also has their own connections, and it is unknown whether there is really any way to deliver the news.

Gu Wanyin raised her head and looked at Gu Changhong, her eyes clear: "Now that the matter is here, how can I deceive my uncle?" Don't hide it from the uncle, except for sending back a letter from home with the urgent report in the palace to keep him safe, the prince really didn't send a word back. Even when she wrote a letter, she didn't know if Zhou Ruijing saw it.

After thinking about it, she asked Gu Changhong instead: "Uncle does you know, what happened in Hebei?" Lord Shizi, why did he disappear? ”

This is a question she has wanted to ask for a long time. It's just that the old lady's appearance makes her dare not ask anything. I could only listen vaguely. Guess in mind. However, maybe Gu Changhong knows something, after all, Gu Changhong is also an important minister in the court. It's better than she is. She didn't want to send someone over to ask before, because she was afraid that people would think that the Zhou family was forming a gang, but since they met today. It doesn't hurt to ask.

Gu Changhong stroked his beard and pondered for a moment before replying, "You don't have to worry too much. The prince of Zhennan is very capable. It's going to be fine. It's just that now everything is unclear, and there are different opinions between the DPRK and China, which is somewhat worrying. After all, people are terrible. After a few words of persuasion, he replied to Gu Wanyin's question: "It is only said that the prince of Zhennan suddenly disappeared, and the next day the resentment of the people was revealed; And the day before, someone saw the prince of Zhennan having a deep conversation with the leader of the resentful people. ”

These words. Suddenly, Gu Wanyin suddenly realized - some people will guess whether Zhou Ruijing rebelled! All of this is such a coincidence, it would be strange not to be misunderstood!

However, what made Gu Wanyin care most was not this, and after a moment of silence, she asked softly again: "In other words, the prince suddenly disappeared by himself?" And no one forcibly took him away? ”

Gu Changhong was stunned, thought for a moment, and shook his head: "It should be that he disappeared suddenly." Otherwise, things wouldn't have spread like this. ”

Gu Wanyin breathed a sigh of relief slightly-since it was not someone else's strength, it should be Zhou Ruijing's other arrangements. That's the case. He shouldn't be in any danger, right? She didn't know why he was, but as long as he wasn't in danger.

"Someone has already persuaded the Holy One to send someone else to investigate the matter. First, to settle the people's grievances, and second, to settle. It is also to find out the prince of Zhennan. Gu Changhong said, a trace of resoluteness flashed on his face: "I have already invited myself to go." ”

Without waiting for Gu Wanyin, the Li family, who had been silent on the side, looked at Gu Changhong in surprise: "Master, why are you-" Why didn't you make such a decision without discussing it with her? That place in Hebei can be easily visited now? Since the resentful people have rebelled, it is not certain that if you can't go, you will be killed!

Thinking of this, Li Shi couldn't sit still more and more, and persuaded uneasily: "Such an opportunity should be given to young people." Sir, you-"

"I'm not old." Gu Changhong was said by the Li family, and he suddenly couldn't hold his face in front of Gu Wanyin, and he didn't wait for the Li family to finish speaking. "Besides, we are in-laws with the Zhou family, and at this time, we have to send charcoal in the snow. If we don't go, who will? Only the people on our side can help the prince! ”

Even if he can't help, he can always stop his opponent from framing pohài.

Gu Changhong was right. At this time, the question of who will go is the most critical question. If there is a disagreement with the Zhou family, it is difficult to ensure that it will not be secretly bad. Gu Wanyin took a deep breath, looked at Gu Changhong and was extremely grateful, stood up and saluted him: "Wanyin thanked Uncle on behalf of the Zhou family!" "What is charcoal in the snow? It's a charcoal in the snow!

Gu Wanyin understood in her heart that Gu Changhong did this not only for the relationship between the two families, but also to support her. After all, the Gu family's family background is much lower than that of the Zhou family, and she will inevitably suffer some gossip and grievances in the Zhou family.

Li also understood this truth, and when he heard that Gu Changhong had already spoken to death, he sighed lightly at the moment, and he couldn't say anything more about persuasion.

"Uncle, I wonder if anyone else volunteered?" Gu Wanyin asked in a low voice, somewhat apprehensive. Above the court, if one person stands up, the others will also stand up. It's just that I don't know who the others are and what kind of thoughts they have. And how will the Holy One decide in the end?

Gu Changhong sighed: "Many people want to go. However, the most favorite ones of the saints are the four princes, the six princes, and the prince of Qi, as well as a few young and handsome people. "These people are all descendants of major families, and the saint also has the intention to vigorously cultivate. Compared with a few of their old courtiers, I am afraid that the Holy Lord will choose those young people.

Moreover, the relationship between their Gu family and the Zhou family will also make the saint suspicious to some extent. He thought about it and felt that his chances of going were really not high. But even then, he always had to give it a try.

"The meaning of the Holy One is not something we can speculate on; Gu Wanyin knew that she was speaking tactfully. Then he turned to say: "It's okay if you can't go, one is to avoid suspicion, and when my father continues, I want my uncle to preside over one or two." ”

"Do your best, let it be the destiny of heaven." Gu Changhong sighed, then got up and walked out: "I still have something to do, so I won't stay much." "Although they are close relatives, there is a difference between men and women. I didn't talk about it in a hurry before, but now that the matter is finished, I still have to avoid suspicion. Moreover, the woman's family always has something to say, and it is inconvenient for him to speak.

As soon as Gu Changhong left, the Li family took Gu Wanyin to the inner room, and then asked in a low voice, "Can it be solved last time?" I've heard that the announcement is vague, what the hell is going on? Also, can the old lady of the Zhou family know? ”

"Auntie don't worry, it's already fine." Gu Wanyin glanced at Li's concerned look gratefully, pursed her lips and smiled, "As for the old lady, I don't know. But she didn't react. Since the old lady didn't react, she just didn't know. It's over anyway. Although the person behind it has not yet been found, as long as it is passable on the surface, the old lady can't say anything, isn't it?

"Zhang's thinking about it, should he also set off?" After all, there is still a distance from Henan to Kyoto. That's why Gu Wanyin asked this question.

Li nodded: "The team that picked up the relatives should be on the way back." And Gu Changfei personally picked it up, giving the Zhang family enough face. And what they mean is to let Gu Changfei take the opportunity to have more contact with the Zhang family and cultivate some feelings. After all, after coming back, if the Qi clan gets in the way, it will be unpleasant in the end.

The two talked for a while, and after lunch, they went over to look at the old lady together.

What surprised Gu Wanyin was that she didn't expect to see Gu Yingyin, who she hadn't seen for a long time, in the old lady's room.

Gu Yingyin saw Gu Wanyin come in, and hurriedly lowered her head and saluted: "The princess." ”

Gu Wanyin raised her eyebrows slightly, the corners of her lips curved into a smile, and a hint of brightness flashed in her eyes: "Third sister doesn't need to be polite." "In the past, Gu Yingyin would not be so well-behaved. It seems that it is really necessary to discipline well, so that it can be of some use.

Next, Gu Yingyin kept standing with her head down, looking gentle and elegant, very demure. It's a bit like before.

"How's Grandmother doing?" Gu Wanyin asked the old lady with a smile, and her mood was a little better.

The old lady nodded, smiling: "Great." It couldn't be better. Ying Yin is well-behaved, and Cong Qi is also a lot more sensible. In addition, there is another happy event in the house, and I am very happy. ”

"That's good." Gu Wanyin glanced at Gu Yingyin with a smile, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she seemed to be smiling: "I also think that the third sister is much more well-behaved." After a pause, he suddenly turned to ask Qi again: "What about Aunt Qi?" How are you doing? "She hasn't seen Qi since last time.

"You don't know, your Aunt Qi is pregnant again." The old lady said with a smile on her face. No matter what the identity of the Qi family is, when people are old, they hope that their family members will prosper. Now there are many happy events in the house, first Gu Wanyin married a good husband, and then it was a continuation, Qi was pregnant again, and Gu Yingyin was also going to get married. One after another, it was a happy event. How can you make people unhappy?

Gu Wanyin heard the news, but she was stunned, turned her head and glanced at the Li family, and saw the other party frowning - at this juncture, why is the Qi family pregnant? If Zhang knew about this, would he not be happy? And will the Qi clan use this matter to stir up any waves? Originally, Gu Changfei was already very fond of Qi, but now that Qi is pregnant again, he is afraid of ......;
