Chapter 948 The Sad Old Man
Concubine Hui stayed in the private school for about half an hour before she opened the door and came out.

During this period, Shen Yi sat on the stone at the door and did not leave.

Seeing her coming out, Shen Yi stood up silently, still saluted with his hands down: "Your Majesty."

Concubine Hui stood in front of Shen Yi and said softly: "Shen Shilang, I have already finished talking to Mr. Gu. The palace is strictly controlled. I am going to visit my relatives today, so I am going back soon."

Shen Yi nodded and said, "I'll see you off."

"Need not."

Concubine Hui smiled and said, "The sedan chair is at the gate of Dayifang, I'll go there myself."

As she said that, she looked at Shen Yi, smiled and said: "The servant Shen is busy, so I'll be right back."

Shen Yi nodded silently, and sent her all the way to the gate of Dayifang. After watching the noble concubine leave, he let out a breath of foul breath and returned to Mr. Gu's private school.

Shen Yi met Old Man Gu in the main room of the private school.

The usually slovenly and somewhat sloppy old man Gu has now changed into a new suit of clothes, even his hair has been combed and his beard trimmed, and he looks much more energetic.

But at this moment, the old man looked a little dazed, sitting on a chair, still smelling of alcohol.

Obviously, after Concubine Hui left, the old man drank some wine by himself.

Shen Yi silently sat next to the old man, looked at the few women's clothes that Mr. Gu had not given away, and sighed slightly: "Mr. Gu, you also met her, are you sure it is your granddaughter?"

"Yes."

Old man Gu came back to his senses, glanced at Shen Yi silently, and said in a somewhat desolate tone: "She was born, somewhat similar to her grandmother, and..."

"She can speak Taizhou dialect."

Shen Yi silently looked at the old man Gu, squeezed a smile on his face, and said, "Since this is the case, Master Gu's wish will be fulfilled. I can live a good life in Jiankang from now on. Your daughter is doing well now. This granddaughter has even become a noble concubine, so there is no need for you to worry about the past events."

Old man Gu held a wine bottle in his hand, raised his head and took another big gulp, then looked at the clothes in his hand, and sighed: "These clothes are the old man who has the audacity to go to the tailor shop to pick them out these days... "

Shen Yi was silent, and then comforted softly: "Master Gu, please be more considerate. Now she is a noble concubine in the palace, and it is not suitable for her to wear these folk clothes. Besides, it is not suitable for her to bring clothes back from outside the palace."

Old man Gu nodded silently.

"The old man can understand what Ziheng said."

He raised his head and glanced at Shen Yi, his voice was a little hoarse: "But in the past half an hour, as long as she talked, most of them were asking questions, asking how the old man and Ziheng met, and asking about the relationship between you and me."

Shen Yi was not surprised by Concubine Hui's move. In fact, Shen Yi would be surprised if she didn't ask this question.

Master Shen smiled at Old Man Gu, and said, "Master Gu, don't worry, since I brought the imperial concubine here, I have made all the mental preparations. There is no need for Master Gu to hide it. What should I say to her?" what it is."

"What should be said, the old man told her."

Having said that, he looked up at Shen Yi, hesitated to speak, and then heaved a long sigh, quite sad.

Shen Yi walked up to the old man, stretched out his hand and patted his back, and said softly: "The imperial concubine asked Master Gu to coerce me with favors and ask me to help their mother and child, right?"

Hearing the words, the old man lowered his head and said nothing. Before he knew it, tears were streaming down his face.

"She is only in her early 20s, how can she be so scheming..."

Speaking of this, the old man was in tears.

A smile appeared on Shen Yi's face, and he said, "Master Gu, it's really no wonder the imperial concubine."

"In the past, the students didn't know her background and thought like Master Gu, but after knowing the cause and effect, they also felt that this noble concubine was not easy."

"Master Gu, you can think about it. When she was sold into a brothel, she was only eleven or twelve years old. Without some means, she had already become a prostitute and even died in a brothel. Where is the story behind?"

"The imperial concubine's ability to survive to this day is due to her ability. Sometimes when I think about it carefully, the students are quite admirable."

This sentence is not touted by Shen Yi.

When Shen Yi first came to this world, although he was imprisoned and almost died, after he was released from the prison in Jiangdu County, he was a scholar, and he was a scholar of Ganquan Academy, and he had a good background in scientific examinations.

In comparison, his situation is much better than that of Gu Hengbo who lives in a brothel.

As for Mr. Gu, it can be said that it started in hell. Although there are many chances and chances involved in being able to become the current Concubine Hui, it has to be said that opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared.

Not to mention anything else, just talk about the two years when she was kept in captivity by Emperor Hongde.

If it's some women who don't have a scheming city, Emperor Hongde will probably gradually forget her after his freshness.

But Gu Hengbo was able to make the emperor linger, and when the emperor was hesitating, he conceived the dragon species very well.

This forced Emperor Hongde, who had no heirs at the time, to make a decision, and finally successfully entered the palace, leaping into the dragon's gate.

Old man Gu took another sip of wine on his own, then looked at Shen Yi with a reddened face, and hiccupped.

"Ziheng, the old man won't have a few years to live. Maybe he will die here when he says he's dead. It doesn't matter if he's sorry or not."

He said slowly: "You are in the imperial court, and you have a bright future, and you still have a great cause to do in the Northern Expedition, so you can't get caught in the palace struggle because of me, an old man."

"In the future, if Xiuzhen has anything to do, I will ask you to ask."

The old man gritted his teeth and said, "You don't have to get into a harem battle because of the old man."

Shen Yi walked up to the old man, patted the old man's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Master Gu, don't worry about me, I know it well."

At the beginning, after Shen Yi got the news of Gu's family, he didn't tell old man Gu immediately, because he was worried about this.

He was not only worried that he would be infected with the harem fight alone.

His brother, Shen Heng, was a natural and inseparable political ally with him. If he got close to the eldest son of the emperor, then Shen Heng would not be able to escape, and he had to get involved.

In his heart, Shen Yi has been hesitating in his heart.

But now, Shen Yi didn't worry too much, and got involved in the harem battle by himself.

because…

His Majesty's attitude was very subtle.

He even asked Li Wang, the eldest son of the emperor, to call himself "Uncle".

This is almost impossible to happen.

That "big brother" probably wouldn't see such a "perfect" courtier as Mr. Shen.

At the beginning, when Shen Yi was working in the southeast, the emperor arranged a foreign house for Shen Yi to restrain Shen Yi.

Now, he seems to be intentionally or unintentionally getting Shen Yi to have a relationship with the eldest son of the emperor.

Although this level of relationship will not have any binding force on Shen Yi now, but in the future, it may not be a rein to tie Master Shen.

From this point of view, this matter has nothing to do with Master Gu himself.

Shen Yi looked at the sad old man in front of him, sighed slightly, and said softly: "Mr. Gu, it's time for you to take care of yourself. From now on, you can do this private school if you want, and you can stop if you don't want to. "

"I'm going north to Huai'an in a few days. When I'm not in Jiankang, my son will often visit you."

Old man Gu was still a little sad in his heart. This old gentleman who was always free and easy pulled Shen Yi's sleeve and said a lot of words in bits and pieces.

After Shen Yi comforted him for a while, he left Dayifang.

When he walked to the gate of Dayifang, Master Shen subconsciously looked towards the direction of the imperial city and murmured in his heart.

"Across from Concubine Hui, there is a huge descendant family..."

"There are also the emperor's sons who may appear in the future."

He let out a foul breath and narrowed his eyes.

"Your Majesty's imperial balance technique is getting less and less smokey..."
