Chapter 143: The Grand Duke

Seeing that the last gentleman was led away by the officials who came in a hurry, Gu Huai drank the last glass of water and wine, put down the chopsticks, and walked down the second floor.

It stands to reason that Zhu Gaochi and the three of them will not be able to face the saint until tomorrow, but who let this happen today? When the news of Yin Yin's injury in the palace reached the palace, someone came immediately, but unfortunately Zhu Gaochi and the three of them didn't even plan to give Zhu Yunwen face, and the guards still stayed in Yuelai Building to continue to block the gentlemen.

This kind of offending thing Gu Huai naturally didn't want to come forward, but there was really nowhere to go, so he found a place to sit down and have a meal on the second floor.

Fortunately, Fang Xiaoru's son is not in the capital, otherwise he probably won't be able to run today... At that time, it will be exciting, Fang Xiaoru is afraid that he will lose face again.

Shi Shiran went downstairs, and Gu Huai was about to take people back to Yanwang's mansion, when he saw a figure breaking into Yuelai Mansion in a hurry.

"My three good nephews have arrived? Why don't you come and see my uncle first? ”

With the voice, Xu Zengshou, who was dressed in a first-class military attache uniform, walked into the hall, but did not see the three nephews who went south from Beiping, but Gu Huai in a green shirt.

He was stunned: "Why are you again?" ”

Gu Huai bowed his hand: "I've seen the Grand Governor." ”

"What's the name of the Grand Dudu, it's still as natural as that day by the river," Xu Zengshou waved his hand, "What about my three nephews?" ”

"Your Majesty summoned you, and the three sons have all entered the palace."

"That's it..."Xu Zengshou was a little regretful, "It's a pity, I did a big thing, I also said to support them, and bring the city guards of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division to the town... But they didn't break the prestige of my brother-in-law, and his mother's gang of villains only dared to play right and wrong behind their backs, so they should beat and knock hard! ”

Gu Huai thought to himself, don't make a mess, the third son of King Yan came out for his father to block the gentleman of the same age, what are you doing with a first-class military attachΓ©?

"Do you want to go to the Yan Palace? The three sons are afraid that they will soon come back. ”

"It's okay," Xu Zengshou turned around and went out with a flick of his sleeves, "just to remind them not to go to Zhongshan Wangfu these days." ”

"How?"

Xu Zengshou glanced at Gu Huai, thinking that after all, there was still a relationship between Miaojin and Miaojin... Gu Huai was not an outsider, he shook his head: "Big brother won't give a good face." ”

"How can I also be a blood uncle and nephew..."

"Blood?" Xu Zengshou sneered, "Before my brother-in-law returned to Beiping, my eldest brother connected three excerpts, just to keep King Yan in Jinling, and scolded those civil officials for being useless and misleading the country and the king... How long has my brother-in-law been in Jinling? The eldest brother didn't go to see each other, but now that the three nephews are here, do you think he will condescend to meet the juniors? ”

His figure suddenly felt a little gloomy: "Even I can be grounded, what are the three nephews?" ”

This kind of talk is not easy to interject after all, Gu Huai followed behind Xu Zengshou and just listened silently.

After venting a few words, Xu Zengshou's face also recovered a little, and he asked angrily: "How is the little sister?" ”

Gu Huai thought of the lovely Lori who had lived an idyllic life for a month, and smiled: "Everything is fine." ”

It's just that this smile is more and more wrong in Xu Zengshou's eyes... Probably noticing Xu Zengshou's eyes, Gu Huai restrained his smile, hesitated for a moment and said, "There is one more thing... I have to let the Governor know. ”

Xu Zengshou's eyes froze: "Say." ”

"The county lord has gone north to Beiping."

"What?" Xu Zengshou stopped, looked back in amazement, and raised his voice by half a minute: "When did it happen?!" ”

"Just yesterday, if nothing else, it should have crossed the Yangtze River at this time," this secret Gu Huai originally planned to hide in his heart, wait for himself to return to Beiping, and openly break with the imperial court with King Yan, and then let people go south to send a letter to Zhongshan Wangfu to report safety, but looking at Xu Zengshou's words and deeds, he is a person who attaches great importance to family affection, but it is not good to hide it anymore: "The county lord will stay in Beiping, wait for the south to calm down, and then come back." ”

"Are you her brother or am I her brother? Why is it still arranged? Xu Zengshou looked incredulous, "What kind of tone are you kid?" ”

Gu Huai was stunned: "The Yan Wangfu is now the target of everyone, and the Zhongshan Wangfu is also in a dilemma... The county lord was worried that it would bring trouble to both sides, so he let Zai arrange to live in the ancestral house for the time being... Most of these things were known to the Governor. ”

"Little sister has grown up and is sensible," Xu Zengshou sighed, and then his eyebrows twisted again: "But what is the matter with you sending her back to Beiping?" What will happen in the South? ”

Gu Huai was silent.

Xu Zengshou looked at him for a long time, and suddenly asked, "Are you now a brother-in-law, or a member of the imperial court?" ”

"What the hell do you know? What exactly is my brother-in-law going to do? ”

is worthy of being the commander of the army, and he sensed that something was wrong with just a few words...

Gu Huai shook his head firmly: "Don't ask, the Metropolitan Governor." ”

After a moment of silence, Xu Zengshou let out a long sigh: "That's it." ”

"The court is now a muddy water, whoever goes in has to be covered in mud, outsiders are waiting to see the jokes of Zhongshan Palace, you do this, it's no wonder you, not to mention my eldest brother... If your own family is still like this, let alone the imperial court? At that time, it was difficult to do people like me and Xiaomei who thought of family affection. ”

He patted Gu Huai's shoulder: "Take care of her." ”

"Don't worry."

"You're good, you're good... Lao Tzu finally didn't help the wrong person, my brother-in-law is optimistic about you, I can trust you, if something really happens in the south..."Xu Zengshou turned and walked forward, "The world is in chaos, I just ask you to make my little sister safe." ”

Looking at Xu Zengshou who was walking in front of him, Gu Huai was a little unbearable: "The Metropolitan Governor... Do you want to get away from this muddy water for a while? Going for a walk outside? It only takes half a year. ”

"The Zhongshan Wangfu is favored by the country, the more the dark tide surges, the more I can't retreat, I serve as the governor of the five armies, what does it look like to leave Jinling at this time?" Xu Zengshou shook his head, "Don't say it again, you just need to take a good look at my three nephews and Miaojin." ”

"Yes."

The Yan Wangfu was already close, and the carriage that had stopped at the gate of the palace could already be seen from a distance, Zhu Gaoxi and Zhu Gaosui were helping Zhu Gaochi to get out of the car, as if he had returned from the palace.

Xu Zengshou stepped forward, looked left and right, and said with great joy: "Chi'er, Xi'er, Sui'er?" I haven't seen you for many years, are you the second and third? Hey, look at this body, one by one..."

He saw Zhu Gaochi, and his tone froze: "God, are you Gaochi?" When I was a child, my uncle hugged you, and said that you were too fat, and you should eat less in the future, look at you like this... How much have you eaten over the years? ”

This short greeting from the parents made Zhu Gaochi and the three of them, who had suffered a cold reception, smile on their faces, Xu Zengshou dragged the three nephews into the Yanwang Mansion, and bluntly said that he would have a good drink today, Gu Huai followed behind, thoughtful.

It's weird in this world, good people... Why don't you live long?

However, he didn't notice that on the corner of the street, a petite figure in a green coat and a green hat pouted...
