Do you know: I am Yuan Wenshao

Chapter 194 Hesitation (please subscribe)

Gu Tingye frowned, looked deeply at Yuan Wenshao and said, "What exactly do you want to do?"

"Zhonghuai, if King Yan rebels and King Yong dies, the officials will definitely call on all the clansmen in the world to serve the king. And Zhao Zongquan of Yuzhou is closest to Bianjing. If he accepts the order to put down the rebellion, the officials will probably make him the crown prince. ." Yuan Wenshao said.

"This is impossible." Gu Tingye retorted after hearing this: "Although the Yuzhou Tuanlian Envoy is from the clan, he is from the lineage of Taizu. How can the official family let him be the crown prince."

"Why is it impossible? The official family has no heirs. As long as the clan inherits the throne, what difference does it make to the official family who succeeds?" Yuan Wenshao asked rhetorically.

"Even so, the civil and military officials will not agree." Gu Tingye said.

"No, the people who will least object are the civil and military officials. Because Zhao Zongquan is from the Taizu lineage, he is now just a regiment training envoy, and his wife family is not strong. If Zhao Zongquan ascends the throne, he will definitely win over and reuse them. This is also true for the civil and military officials. What the officials want to see." Yuan Wenshao said.

Gu Tingye became silent after hearing this. He had to say that what Yuan Wenshao said made sense.

"What's the purpose of telling me this?" Gu Tingye said after a long silence.

"With King Yan's methods, he will definitely be on guard against the clan members who lead troops to serve the king, and he will probably take action against the clan members. I think it is better for you to join the army than to protect Zhao Zongquan. If it is as I guess, this will mean to us, But the wealth is overwhelming." Yuan Wenshao said.

In a sense, the contribution of the dragon is greater than the contribution of the founding of the country.

The heroes who founded the country basically didn't end well, but it was different with Cong Long Zhi Gong.

When a new king ascends the throne, he will inevitably rely on his confidants to take charge, so that he can feel at ease.

"What if things don't develop as you expected?" Gu Tingye asked.

"That's okay, it's just a waste of time."

After Yuan Wenshao finished speaking, seeing that Gu Tingye was silent, he said: "Zhonghuai, even if you make meritorious service after joining the army, it will be difficult to wash away the infamy that angered your father. Even because of this stain, even if you make meritorious service, you will not be seriously punished. It will be a reward, but it will be different if you have the power of following the dragon."

Gu Tingye was a little moved when he heard this and said, "You allow me to think about this matter carefully."

"Haha, you really need to think carefully about such a big matter. I'll wait for your reply." Yuan Wenshao said.

Yuan Wenshao didn't say anything else, while Gu Tingye was thinking about what Yuan Wenshao had just said.

"Master, the Sheng family has arrived." Zhang An said.

"Let's get out of the car."

Yuan Wenshao said and got off the carriage.

"Sister-in-law, you are here. I will send someone to report to the eldest lady." The concierge came up and saluted.

Yuan Wenshao waved his hand and said, "I am here to visit the old lady, so there is no need to inform her."

"Yes." The concierge responded.

Yuan Wenshao brought Gu Tingye, who was carrying something, to Shouan Hall. After being informed by his servants, he was taken to the main hall.

"My grandson-in-law has met my grandmother."

"Gu Tingye has met Mrs. Sheng."

"Haha, Erlang, there's no need to be polite, Mr. Gu. Please sit down quickly." The old lady was very confused about Gu Tingye coming with Yuan Wenshao, but she didn't show it on her face.

"Thank you grandma."

"Thank you, old lady."

After the two sat down, Yuan Wenshao said: "Grandma, I came here this time because there is something I want to talk to my grandmother alone."

The old lady nodded when she heard this and said, "You all go down."

"Yes."

Fang's mother bowed and led the maid out.

"Grandma, Hua Lan told me that you want Sixth Sister to be my concubine. I really can't agree to this. It would be unfair to Hualan, and secondly, it would wronged Sixth Sister. Zhonghuai, he The sixth sister was deeply in love with her, but because she was still in her filial piety period, it was inconvenient to come to propose marriage. After he learned about this, he thought about coming to his grandmother to explain his feelings," Yuan Wenshao said.

Gu Tingye waited for Yuan Wenshao to finish speaking, then stood up and said, "Mrs. Sheng, I really want to marry the sixth girl for a period of time. However, my father has recently died and cannot come to propose marriage. Please give me a chance."

The old lady looked at Gu Tingye in surprise and said, "You should also know about Ming'er. Are you really willing to marry Ming'er as your legal wife?"

"Yes!" Gu Tingye said in a deep voice.

The old lady looked at Gu Tingye's serious look, and it didn't look like he was fake, so she fell silent.

In the past, with Gu Tingye's reputation, she would not have agreed even if he came from a noble family.

But it's different now. Minglan married Gu Tingye and became his wife. It was a high achievement, not to mention that Gu Tingye didn't care about the rumors outside.

"Have you asked what the royal family meant?" Old Mrs. Sheng asked.

Hearing this, Gu Tingye smiled bitterly and said, "The old lady should also know some things about my family. Since my father passed away, I have been kicked out of the Gu family. She will not interfere with my affairs."

"But after all, you have not been removed from the family tree. You still care about your family. If you are engaged, it is unreasonable for your stepmother and elders not to come forward." The old lady shook her head.

"Don't worry, old lady, I will resolve this matter before my filial piety ends. I just ask the old lady to give me a chance and not to let the sixth girl get married too early." After Gu Tingye finished speaking, he winked at Yuan Wenshao.

"Grandma, Zhong Huai did have a bad reputation in his early years, but there was an inside story. Moreover, he has been studying hard in the past seven or eight years and has not gone to those Goulan tile houses." Yuan Wenshao said.

"What about your concubine and your concubine? I heard that you have been looking for your concubine." The old lady asked.

Mannia's incident was known to everyone in Bianjing, so the old lady naturally knew about it.

And she also heard that Gu Tingye had been looking for the outer room.

Gu Tingye asked to marry a girl from the Yu family just to give that concubine a title. What if Minglan married her and the concubine was found again?
Gu Tingye gritted his teeth when he heard this and said: "I was obsessed with it at the time, so I was deceived by her. She killed my father, and I will never forgive her no matter what. I only came to her because she took the child away. In any case, the child is not there Wrong, it's my flesh and blood, I will definitely find it back. But don't worry, old lady, I still understand why concubines have other reasons."

The old lady nodded when she heard this. She was quite satisfied with Gu Tingye's answer.

If Gu Tingye said that he wanted to drive out the concubine and concubine, she would have to think about it.

"I have to discuss this matter with her father before I can give you an answer." The old lady said.

"This is all as it should be. The old lady is aware that I am still in the period of filial piety and cannot get engaged. However, I can make a verbal engagement first. When my period of filial piety is over, I will definitely go to the Sheng family to propose marriage." Gu Tingye said.

The old lady nodded and said, "Why don't you go back first and let Erlang inform you after I have discussed it with her father." "Then I'll leave first." Gu Tingye cupped his hands and said, "These are some of my thoughts. , I hope the old lady won’t refuse.”

"Then I'll accept it. Erlang will send it to Mr. Gu for me." The old lady didn't know what was inside, so she didn't refuse.

"Yes, grandmother."

Yuan Wenshao nodded and sent Gu Tingye out.

"Do you think the old lady will agree?" Gu Tingye asked nervously.

"Grandma is still a little hesitant now, but it shouldn't be a big problem. You go back first and I'll put in a good word for you." Yuan Wenshao said.

"Erlang, please." Gu Tingye said.

Yuan Wenshao nodded and said, "I will try my best. You should also think carefully about what I told you on the way."

Yuan Wenshao sent Gu Tingye out of the Sheng family and returned to Shou'an Hall.

"People send away?"

"Grandma, she has been sent away."

The old lady nodded and said thoughtfully: "What do you think of Mr. Gu?"

"Grandma, Zhong Huai did do some bad things before, but they were all things he did when he was young, and he was fighting with his father. And many of them were not done by him at all, but by his cousins ​​who had four or five rooms in the Gu family. On the head. Zhong Huai's character is still okay, otherwise Chang Bai wouldn't be a good friend with him," Yuan Wenshao said.

The old lady nodded thoughtfully and said, "Erlang, don't take it to heart about what happened before. I had no choice but to ask Minglan to be your concubine."

"Grandma, I understand. I don't mean to blame you. It's just that making the sixth sister a concubine not only damages the reputation of the Sheng family, but also wrongs the sixth sister." Yuan Wenshao said.

"That's good. With Minglan's current situation, it's natural that the second young master of the Gu family is willing to marry her as his wife. But I also have some concerns in my heart. Considering the relationship between the second young master Gu and his stepmother, what should I do if she objects? Is that good? Minglan can't withstand the blow," the old lady said.

If she agrees here, if Xiao Qin doesn't agree and says some unpleasant words, Minglan will really have no shame in living.

"Grandma, I think that the rumors outside have not subsided yet, and the sixth sister is not suitable for marriage. Anyway, it will be good for the sixth sister to stay with my grandmother for two more years. By then, if Gu Tingye can persuade his stepmother to come, If the Sheng family proposes marriage, then agree. If you can't be convinced, it's been so long, and it won't be too late to propose marriage to the sixth sister by then," Yuan Wenshao said.

"What you said makes sense. Then you can tell Mr. Gu for me," the old lady said.

"Don't worry, grandma, I will tell him. If grandma has no other instructions, I will leave first." Yuan Wenshao stood up and said.

"You're already here, please stay and have dinner with me at noon." The old lady said.

"Grandma, Hua Lan is pregnant now and keeps thinking wildly. I can't stay away for too long," Yuan Wenshao said.

"Haha, it's been like this since I was pregnant. You should be more patient. In this case, I won't keep you." The old lady said.

After Yuan Wenshao left, Fang's mother walked in and said: "Old lady, the master sent someone to send Xueniang to the village where Lin Xiaoniang was imprisoned. He said that she should deliver meals to Lin Xiaoniang on weekdays and chat with Lin Xiaoniang. Chat, do you have to stop this?"

"Why did he suddenly send Snow Mother away?" The old lady frowned slightly.

"I heard that the fourth girl came back yesterday and cried to the master, saying that her little mother didn't even have anyone to talk to. The master relented and agreed." Fang's mother said.

"Then Xue Niang betrayed Xiaoniang Lin. Nothing will happen to her. Let him leave this matter to him. It's better not to push too hard." The old lady didn't care and said, "Go and give me Ming Lan." Call."

"Yes." Fang's mother responded and walked out.

After a while, Minglan walked in and saluted, "I've met my grandmother."

"Come here, sit down and talk."

The old lady waved, waited for Minglan to come forward, pulled her to sit beside her, and said, "If you have nothing to do, go out for a walk more often. Don't stay bored in the courtyard all the time. Even good people get bored."

"Grandma, aren't I making clothes for my sister-in-law's unborn child? Besides, my eldest sister is pregnant now, so I'll be very busy." Minglan said with a smile.

"It's ten months pregnant. It's still early. It won't take much time to dress the child. Go out for a walk if you have nothing to do." The old lady glared.

"Okay, okay, granddaughter knows." Minglan smiled.

The old lady saw that Minglan's smile came from the bottom of her heart and was not forced at all. She was silent for a while and said, "Your eldest brother-in-law and Gu Tingye came just now."

Minglan was startled and asked in confusion: "It's normal for the eldest brother-in-law to come over, so why does the second uncle Gu come over?"

"Our Sheng family and the Gu family are not related. Why do you still call him second uncle?" the old lady said.

Minglan's face stiffened and she said, "I was used to being called Fourth Sister and Fifth Sister before, and I haven't changed for a while."

The old lady did not expose her and said, "Then the second young master of the Gu family said he wants to marry you."

"Marry me?" Minglan was stunned: "How is this possible?"

"Why would I say such nonsense?"

"No...how could he suddenly want to marry me?" Minglan's mind was a little confused.

She didn't have much interaction with Gu Tingye, and she really couldn't understand why Gu Tingye suddenly wanted to marry her.

"I don't know, but judging from his sincerity, he is sincere. What are you thinking?" the old lady asked.

"I…"

Her mind was in such a mess that she couldn't find any ideas.

"This matter is not urgent. Second Young Master Gu is still in his filial piety period. You have time to think about it slowly," the old lady said.

"Grandma, didn't you say before that you wanted me to be your eldest brother-in-law's concubine?" Minglan said.

"If possible, I naturally don't want you to be a concubine. Even if your eldest brother-in-law is a good man and won't treat you poorly, a concubine is a concubine. And your eldest brother-in-law has no intention of taking a concubine," the old lady said.

Minglan was silent for a while after hearing this, and then said: "My granddaughter listens to my grandmother. I have been willful once, and that is enough."

"Alas." The old lady sighed, took Minglan's hand and said, "Although Gu Tingye has a bad reputation, she is still a legitimate wife when she marries him. Moreover, your eldest brother-in-law and Chang Bai have a good relationship with him. I want someone to come." There is no problem with his character. However, the situation of his Gu family is complicated and he has been kicked out. It is hard to say whether his stepmother will agree. "

"But you don't have to worry. Even if the Gu family fails, in two years, when the news has passed, grandma will find a good family for you." The old lady said.
