Dressed as the sister of the runaway heroine

Chapter 167
Wang Liulang was so angry that he couldn't speak, and wanted to throw up his sleeves and leave, but for his brother's sake, he could only sit there, speechless angrily.

There are half a wealthy sons of the capital gathered here, and they have heard of Gu Heng's reputation on weekdays.

Seeing it now is really unforgettable.

The son-in-law at the side said to Wang Liulang: "Your brother married such a daughter-in-law, I'm afraid he will suffer in the future."

Wang Jian took Gu Heng's hand, as if he was talking to those troublesome young masters.

"Others don't know how good you are, but I do."

Gu Heng glanced at Wang Liulang quite complacently, and Wang Liulang's hands and feet trembled suddenly. He really didn't understand why his elder brother valued Gu Heng so much.

Gu Heng and Wang Jian arrived in the private room, and Gu Heng said to Wang Jian, "I'm going back to Taicang to relocate my grave in the spring of next year. An elder of my Gu family died in Nanjing, so he was buried in Nanjing. It's common to pass by Nanjing. You As my husband-in-law, naturally he should go."

Wang Jian picked up the wine glass and had a drink.

"I'm afraid that the wealthy families in Nanjing will also take action. The princess should think about it. If you really want to do something, then there is really no way out."

Gu Heng nodded, looking at the bright lights outside, she just felt that the scene in front of her was in a trance, and she wanted to wait for a long time before she could see people's sincerity.

Gu Heng asked in a low voice: "My lord, do you really think that a woman can be an emperor?"

Wang Jian smiled, and he replied, "If you don't try, how will you know if it will work?"

Gu Heng continued to ask: "The prince himself is a member of a wealthy family, so I would venture to ask, as a person with vested interests, are you willing to pay for the gentry?"

In fact, Gu Heng has been vacillating all this time because people like Wang Jian's own position and actions are really a bit ambiguous.

Gu Heng didn't think it was because of her that he did those things just now.

Wang Jian said in a low voice, "Then Ah Heng thinks that your brother is risking his life, and is going to implement the new policy, is it right or wrong?"

Gu Heng looked at Wang Jian, and she said, "I think it's right."

Wang Jian smiled.

It seems that he is not ready to continue this topic with Gu Heng.

After the two had dinner, Wang Jian sent Gu Heng back to the county lord's mansion. Now that the moon was setting, Wang Jian helped Gu Heng off the carriage, and the two exchanged glances.

Wang Jian said in a low voice, "The Princess, please go back."

Gu Heng replied softly: "My son, go back and rest quickly, be careful on the road."

Wang Jian nodded.

Bauhinia was waiting for Gu Heng under the eaves, her expression was rather sad, she said to Gu Heng: "Princess, this servant has made sugar cake for you, it is hot, please come in and eat."

Gu Heng followed Bauhinia into the house, and Bauhinia made people retreat for four weeks. She brought Gu Heng a plate of sugar cakes.

The candies were already cold, and they were not freshly made at all. Gu Heng was not angry at all, she knew that Bauhinia must have reported to Gu Rong.

Zijing said in a low voice: "The son is a good man, but the forces behind him may not be good."

Gu Heng could only vaguely sense the power behind Wang Jian, but he was not quite sure.

Among the nobles of the Manchu Dynasty, apart from the old ministers such as Fuguogong and Yingyinggong, there are also some official families who were officials in the three dynasties, and even a large number of officials who came from the imperial examination. They are not as powerful as Fuguogong and Yinggong, but if they unite, That is also a big force.

But Gu Heng felt more than that.

As for Yang Sheng's theory back then, the idea of ​​a princess being a queen is just superficial, and the core appeal is actually for the scholar-bureaucrats and the wealthy class, and Dayin's so-called wealthy class is those wealthy businessmen in the south of the Yangtze River. Yang Sheng's theory is also quite popular among the big families in the south of the Yangtze River.

Gu Heng said: "So the queen has a better way?"

Zijing said in a low voice: "The empress is going to find a few women from the side of the Gu family to enter the palace as concubines. If they can give birth to a son and a half, then the empress will be able to gain a firm foothold in the palace."

Gu Heng looked at the plate of cold cakes.

Bauhinia continued: "Princess, in fact, Empress Dowager loves you in her heart."

Gu Heng sneered.

"It's already reached this point, it's better not to say these words anymore."

Zijing let out a long sigh, and she said, "But even if you marry the eldest son, you will still be angry with both sides in the future."

Gu Heng looked at Zijing, and she said: "If you are angry at both ends, you will be angry at both ends. Even so, I don't want to enter the palace."

Bauhinia knew that it would be useless to talk too much, so she turned and left, leaving only Gu Heng sullen.

On the second day, Grand Master Chen posted a message to Gu Heng, so Gu Heng naturally had to pack up and go to visit.

After all, once Qin Song died, among the veterans of the former court, he was the only one with aloof status.

Chen Taishi was dressed very plainly, and he was teasing a bird in his hand. After Chen Taishi saw Gu Heng, he said with a smile: "The princess is really happy these few days."

Grand Master Chen spoke quite politely.

Gu Heng saluted, and then replied: "Where is it, I just looked away."

Grand Master Chen burst into laughter when he heard Gu Heng's words.

He asked his servant to pour Gu Heng a cup of old tea, and he said, "Wang Jian's teacher is Song Chengrong from Xishan, the descendant of Yang Sheng. He married the daughter of the Shen family, the first family in the south of the Yangtze River. Jian, but was rejected by the Marquis of Zhenbei."

Gu Heng frowned slightly.

Seeing Gu Heng like this, Grand Master Chen quickly waved his hands and said, "Princess, please don't misunderstand me, I am not targeting the prince."

Gu Heng naturally knew that old man Chen would not be so superficial.

"What does the grand master mean?"

Grand Master Chen said: "Chang Feng is a resolute man, and he does things a little unscrupulously. It is not the style of a gentleman, but a minister who can reform must be like this."

Gu Heng was a little angry when he heard this.

"The grand master said it lightly. There are so many children in your Chen family, but you just found someone with a foreign surname. If you really implement the so-called gentry and gentry, no matter whether you succeed or not, Gu Changfeng will only have a dead end."

Grand Master Chen said to Gu Heng: "At the beginning, I also said the same to your brother, but he said that if he can leave his name in history, he will never regret it even if he is cut in half."

Gu Heng clenched his fists tightly, for the sake of his own reputation, he really didn't care about the life and death of his family.

Gu Heng said coldly: "So what exactly does the Grand Master want to tell me?"

Grand Master Chen said: "Now the Princess, as the middleman between the two factions, can you make a compromise? Next year, there will be a battle between the Mongolian Kingdom and my Dayin, but now that Dayin's land tax has been received five years later, the Beijing officials I have owed my salary for half a year, how can the imperial court have the money to fight again."

Gu Heng said: "What does this have to do with me? Could it be that the grand master wants me to ask those wealthy families for money?"

Gu Heng didn't think he had such a big face.

Grand Master Chen said: "If he is defeated without a fight, then Dayin will only have to go on the road of making offerings and marriage."

As soon as Gu Heng heard about the marriage, she raised her head and looked at Grand Master Chen.

"So you want to send Jing'an to make a marriage? Now the two men are fighting like hell, and the leader will be changed in a few months. You let Jing'an go to make a marriage! Doesn't that mean she will die!"

Gu Heng shook his hands angrily.
