Chapter 31: Let people inquire again
In fact, when Gu Hanshu first won the crown, Han Baoting set a family affair for him.
It is the concubine of Jin Kanghou's mansion, Jin Wanyu.
Originally, the family matched, talented and beautiful, and it was a good marriage.
Who knew that the girl of the Jin family eloped with a chivalrous man.
Han Baoting was angry that the Jin family had ruined her own reputation, and she wanted to ruin her son's reputation.
Later, I learned that the Jin family's daughter escaped marriage because of Gu Hanshu's help.
When Han Baoting knew about this at the time, she was so angry that she couldn't stand still, "You bastard! ”
began to look for any guy in the upper room of the table, and Gu Dao hurriedly came to persuade him.
"Can you blame Xiaoshu for this? The daughter of the Jin family eloped with someone and it wasn't Xiaoshu who forced her, so it's better than letting that woman pass through my Gu family. ”
Han Baoting pointed at Gu Hanshu and scolded angrily, "I'm really spoiled by you!" Don't tell us about such a big thing, and help others escape from marriage on their own initiative, I thought it was his Jin family girl who couldn't live with our Gu family, but I didn't think that it was my Gu family who harmed the good girl in someone's family! ”
Gu Hanshu hung his head and argued, "It was originally the marriage you chose, not the ...... I chose."
"What do you say? Stinky boy! Look at me if I don't use the family method today, you will turn the sky upside down in the future! Han Baoting stepped forward and waved her hand to slap Gu Hanshu.
Gu Dao stopped behind him, "Bastard, don't hurry up and get out!" ”
Gu Hanshu apologized to Han Baoting quickly, "I'm sorry mother, there will be no next time!" ”
Not only did he not have the next time he helped someone escape from marriage, but he also had no next time he was kidnapped by his parents' orders and the words of the matchmaker.
"You stop! Who let you go! Han Baoting scolded.
Gu Hanshu ran out briskly, ran to the door and turned his head to add to Han Baoting.
"By the way, that person is not a chivalrous man or a charlatan, that man is the son of the old owner of Yuquan Sword Village!"
Han Baoting wanted to scold again, but Gu Hanshu had already disappeared.
Yicheng.
"How dare you mention this? I really owe you to clean up. Han Baoting said.
Gu Hanshu smiled and changed the topic, "How long will it take to get to the Zheng Mansion?" ”
In fact, whether there is that kind of thing or not, it is not easy for him to marry the Jin family.
The marquis of the Jin family holds the military power, and his father is a prince of the opposite sex, so he should be avoided.
Han Baoting said, "I haven't been to this Yicheng either, it should be fast, after all, the Zheng family is a wealthy businessman in Linzhou, so it can't be too remote." ”
Gu Hanshu nodded.
At this time, a group of patrols walked by on the road, and Gu Hanshu sighed, "Is this Yicheng so strictly controlled during the day?" ”
A hawker next to him heard it and enthusiastically introduced, "Recently, a Beijing official came to Yicheng to investigate, so the guards are stricter, and those soldiers on duty have to change shifts several times a day!" ”
"Jingguan?"
"That's right! The big officials from the capital! We ordinary people have never seen these dignitaries in our lives. "The hawker sounds like meeting the majesty of those Jingguans.
Gu Hanshu knew that Shen Zhiyun and the others had recently gone south to investigate the school's fields, but he deliberately avoided the limelight of the imperial court, and he didn't specifically inquire about the actions of the cabinet recently, so he came to Yicheng first.
"You're new to Yicheng, aren't you? It doesn't sound like the people we have here. The peddler said again.
Gu Hanshu still wanted to ask more, but Han Baoting pulled her sleeve and saw her mother frowning slightly, so she stopped the urge to ask.
"Your father said that you should come out of Beijing with me and go to Xin'er's wedding banquet to be lively, why did you come to Yicheng, you are still thinking about things in the court." Han Baoting blamed Gu Hanshu.
"There is no mother." Gu Hanshu explained, "I just want to ask, who are the Beijing officials who come to Yicheng now, in case you run into them, know in advance which colleague it is, don't lose your politeness." ”
Han Baoting still couldn't speak, "I think you're just too idle now, so you always think about those things in the court." ”
Gu Hanshu could only nod, "Yes, mother." I know wrong. ”
Then Shen Zhiyun should be in Yicheng now, is he living in the official mansion?
He should go and see it, and give a "surprise" to the adults who investigated it.
Thinking of this, Gu Hanshu couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.
Shen Zhiyun left Jiang Yujin in Huaxian to deal with the aftermath.
Tian Zhi, Dong Qiping and Liu Shan were demoralized by her, and they were recruited without much torture.
In particular, those things that Tian Zhi confessed, and reporting to His Majesty are all major matters that will shake the government.
She didn't dare to hide it, and truthfully wrote down the evidence of Tian Zhi and others, as well as the things that were hidden behind the scenes.
If so......
Shen Zhiyun frowned.
Then the imperial court should be reshuffled.
Shen Zhiyun left Fang Yu and the ten people to Jiang Yujin, in fact, the way they are now, those soldiers in the Beida Battalion are no longer there to protect the lives of the Jing officials.
To save the lives of the three people of Tian Zhi, they are alive, which is the evidence.
Shen Zhiyun drove a horse to Yicheng alone, and the soldiers of the Beida Battalion were in Yicheng, and there was no way to investigate this matter.
The moonlight shone through the treetops, and the leaves on the branches crumbled.
The wind was cold at night, and the figure was also slender.
"Drive!" Shen Zhiyun raised his whip and galloped, and the horse flew like an arrow.
The eyes are as thin as ice.
"Phew-" Shen Zhiyun pulled the rope and stopped.
The wind made a desolate sound as it whipped the leaves.
The bad debts in Huaxian County are not just as simple as the academy and the school.
The number of acres of school fields in the accounts is fake, and the real school field is the vegetable garden that Shen Zhiyun passed by when he went to the academy in advance.
Waves of national banks were shipped to Linzhou, but in the end, they were assigned a school field with a large vegetable garden.
It's a ridiculous joke!
Shen Zhiyun remembered that on the day of her mother's funeral, on the White Frost Mountain, the afterglow of the setting sun dyed the forest.
She and Gu Hanshu sat on the stone, the distant mountains and clouds, and the glow was comfortable.
"Since it was for your mother before, then for yourself in the future."
"Isn't your heart sincere?"
"Then take a step and watch a film, and one day there will be something you want, an object, a life, or a person."
……
When I was in the college, I put out sky lanterns during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The students all raised a sky lantern in the courtyard, from clear to vague, gradually taper and smaller, blending into the night.
There are many people, and the sky lanterns converge into bright or dark starlight in the night sky, just like the lights of thousands of homes, bright and bright in the long night.
Gu Hanshu also asked her something similar at that time, "Shen Zhiyun, what is your wish?" ”
Shen Zhiyun was stunned for a moment, turned around, her chin rose slightly, at that time her face was soft and angular, and she was a little immature, far more "boyish and female" than now.
The corners of his round and blunt eyes showed that Shen Zhiyun had no offensive power, even if his expression was cold.
Before she came to the academy, she had just been punished by Shen Pingshan for kneeling in the ancestral hall because of Jiang.
The breeze blew the corners of the clothes and turned up slightly.
"Entering the office, being a powerful official."
Shen Zhiyun said softly.
At that time, she was only thinking about how to break free from Shen Pingshan's control and how to protect her mother.
Becoming an official and entering the cabinet to take power is the only way out.
Gu Hanshu raised his eyebrows, "What about when you are already in power?" At that time, you became a big official, what else do you want to do? ”
Shen Zhiyun didn't seem to hear it, and casually asked Gu Hanshu, "What is the wish of the prince?" ”
Shen Zhiyun called the "prince", not "Gu Hanshu".
It means that if Gu Hanshu wants power and status, he can completely be enshrined in the office, and the hereditary throne in the future, the only prince of the opposite sex in Dasheng, is above 10,000 people under one person.
Since he was born with a golden spoon in his mouth, what else would he want?
Gu Hanshu smiled and didn't speak.
……
Shen Zhiyun looked down at the reins in his hand.
Horses are tethered with ropes, and men are tethered with power.
If you don't do something, how can you tell if it's a human or an animal?
Shen Zhiyun gradually tightened the reins in his hand and pursed his mouth, as if he had made up his mind.
"Drive!"
The legs are clamped, and the whip is gone, galloping like the wind.
Just like when she went to Chengzhou that day, she wore a sassy pearl robe, and the jade sword slashed the sky.
The morning light gradually paved the earth.
The peddlers came out to work.
Luo Zengwen checked the accounts for a day yesterday and sat with a sore back.
Deng Changchun came in from outside, "How?" ”
Luo Zengwen put his hands behind his back and hammered his back, "I'm old, I can't stay up." ”
Deng Changchun was speechless, "I'm asking what you think?" ”
"Just one day, what can you see?" Luo Zengwen glanced at Deng Changchun.
Since you want him to look at the accounts, it's best not to rush, who will urge whoever will come to see.
Luo Zengwen's temper, who in the court doesn't know, Deng Changchun doesn't ask, anyway, if there is a mistake, Luo Zengwen will take the initiative to say it.
He had other things to do.
Gu Hanshu and Han Baoting stayed in the Zheng Mansion yesterday.
Waiting for Han Xin's wedding banquet in two days, the two days that are approaching will be even busier.
Han Xin does not live in the Zheng Mansion now, and the Zheng family wife rented a yard on the main street next door, and picked up the bride from that yard that day.
Then beat the gongs and drums, go around the city, and then return to the Zheng Mansion, giving people a beautiful scenery.
Han Baoting invited Gao Tang as a bride, and she was supposed to go to Han Xin's current residence to stay overnight.
But Han Baoting and Gu Hanshu have noble status, so they are different from ordinary people, and the master of the Zheng family prepared the room to welcome these two nobles.
One is Mrs. Decree, and the other is the son of Wensu.
Naturally, it can't be counted as a guest on the bride's side, and it should be a guest of honor.
Zheng Xinchen is the person Han Xin wants to marry, he is loyal and upright, and in Gu Hanshu's words, he has a face that can be used as a companion for his master.
Zheng Xinchen laughed, "Maybe I really served as an accompaniment to the master." ”
Gu Hanshu felt that he didn't look like he was laughing anymore, and asked him, "Have you studied at Wutang Academy before?" ”
"It's not about reading, it's really for the master to accompany him." Zheng Xinchen said.
Gu Hanshu had some impressions at this time, and remembered that there seemed to be such a person when he was studying before.
The memory goes back to the elegantly built, light-colored academy.
"Shen Zhiyun, I heard that Master Chen will come to teach today, and I will bring one to accompany me." Gu Hanshu, who was a teenager, skillfully opened a window sideways, and the angle of the window opening was just right to see the gate, and it was difficult to be noticed.
"What if you know this?" Shen Zhiyun propped up his arms and looked at Gu Hanshu obliquely.
"This is what Master Chen said before class ended yesterday." Gu Hanshu expressed his innocence, deliberately raised his voice and quipped, "Shen Zhiyun, did you fall asleep in class yesterday!" ”
The originally noisy school hall laughed in unison at this time.
Shen Zhiyun's face did not show any anger, he secretly lifted the pen and dipped it in ink, turned his wrist lightly, and the ink at the tip of the pen accurately threw on Gu Hanshu's face.
Gu Hanshu felt a chill on his face, slightly stunned, and then hurriedly wiped it with his hand, and the ink stains blurred on his face, making it even more funny.
There was another burst of laughter in the school.
At this time, Gu Hanshu saw Chen Fuzi leading a young student towards the school, and hurriedly rushed back to his seat, and the others were immediately quiet, pretending to raise the book and read it back.
Immediately, Chen Fuzi and the young companion walked into the school.
Chen Fuzi is already in the age of ear smoothness, his temples are white, but his eyes are very sharp, and his beard is sparse but very neat.
Who dares to call a great Confucian without a beard these days?
The face of the accompanying reader gradually became clearer, as if it was indeed Zheng Xinchen.
"It's you." Gu Hanshu sighed.
Zheng Xinchen smiled, "The prince still remembers me." ”
Gu Han Shuxin said that it may be because Shen Zhiyun happened to provoke him that morning, so he was impressed.
"When my father went to Beijing to do business, he needed to stay in Beijing for a long time for some reasons, so my father simply sent me to the academy and let Master Chen lead me to take care of me." Zheng Xinchen said this, pausing slightly, "Actually, I saw Xin'er back then." ”
At the mention of the bride, the smile on Zheng Xinchen's face couldn't be stopped.
Gu Hanshu: "Huh? He asked.
Zheng Xinchen was a little embarrassed, "When I was young, I thought she was an ordinary girl, and I only regarded her as a friend at that time." Later, when I left Beijing, I always wanted to see her again, and we also wrote some letters, but she never made her identity clear. Later, I followed my father and started to manage the family business, but I went to Kyoto several times but couldn't find it. I know that last year, by chance, the two of us met again. ”
Gu Han Shuxin said that because of her father, Han Xin always knew the rules very well and didn't dare to do anything out of the ordinary.
I didn't expect to quietly write a letter to my foreign man, which is quite rebellious in the famous ladies in Beijing.
However, in Linzhou, if the two have the intention of becoming a couple, there are many love gifts to each other, not to mention a few letters written as friends.
That's why Zheng Xinchen told Gu Hanshu about this.
Zheng Xinchen is now a prospective groom, and he excitedly talked to Gu Hanshu.
Gu Hanshu looked at this person's words and deeds, and Han Xin marrying him should be a good destination.
Gu Hanshu smiled and asked again, "Recently, did a Beijing official from Yicheng come here to investigate?" ”
Zheng Xinchen nodded and said, "There are two Beijing officials who live in the official mansion." ”
"Two? Are you sure? ”
The four ministers investigating Linzhou may indeed act separately.
"My family has a foothold in Linzhou, the rich side is on the first side, the tree is very popular, and if there is anything in the government, I pay special attention to inquire, it is two of them, and I can't make a mistake." Zheng Xinchen said with certainty.
"What kind of Jingguan are coming? I mean, how do the two of them look, older or younger? Tall or thin? ”
Gu Hanshu's question was strange, even if the Zheng family was concerned about the official mansion and the Jingguan came to investigate, how could any spy report on the appearance of the Jingguan.
Sure enough, Zheng Xinchen couldn't answer, and smiled bitterly, "If the prince wants to know, I'll send someone to take a look." ”
"No, I'll just ask." Gu Hanshu refused.
Zheng Xinchen smiled and asked casually? But looking at the appearance of Shizi, it seems that he is very eager to know which two people came to Yicheng to investigate.
He'd better ask someone to inquire again.
