Do you know: I am Yuan Wenshao

Chapter 198 Heaven's Jealousy of Talents (Subscribe)

Yuan Wenshao thought that if he said this, Jiang Jingming would definitely find an excuse to shirk it.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Jing only hesitated slightly before agreeing.

Yuan Wenshao was startled. Could it be that he was overthinking?
But at this time, he couldn't think too much and said: "Then it's settled. I will arrange for someone to prepare the colored glaze. When it is ready, I will let you know."

"Okay, in that case, I'll take my leave first." Jiang Jingming said with cupped hands.

Yuan Wenshao thought about sending Jiang Jingming away for a long time, but he still couldn't figure out Jiang Jingming's intention. He shook his head and didn't think much about it.

At this moment, Zhang An came to report that Marquis Ningyuan came to visit.

"What is Gu Tingyu here for?"

Yuan Wenshao frowned slightly, but still went to the door to greet him.

When he came to the door of the mansion, he saw Gu Tingyu standing with his hands behind his hands, trying hard to straighten his rickety back, and stood at the door looking at the plaques on both sides.

"Marquis Ningyuan is here, but I couldn't welcome him from far away. I still hope to atone for my sins." Yuan Wenshao cupped his hands and said.

"Zhongyong...ahem...Uncle Zhongyong, please don't seduce me. I came to the door rashly. I would be very grateful if you didn't turn me away as a bad guest." Gu Tingyu said.

"What did Marquis Gu say? Please come in quickly." Yuan Wenshao said sideways.

He could feel that Gu Tingyu's health was much worse than the last time they met. Even though Gu Tingyu looked sallow, he was in good spirits.

However, Gu Tingyu's face now looks a little darker, and he looks like a dying old man.

Gu Tingyu nodded, refused the help from his entourage, and walked in by himself.

Yuan Wenshao invited him into the front hall, and after he sat down, he ordered his servants to serve tea, then started tasting it while waiting for Gu Tingyu to speak.

With a smile on his face, Gu Tingyu said, "Uncle Zhongyong, do you have time to spare? Let me tell you a story?"

"Haha, I'm all ears." Yuan Wenshao said with a smile.

Gu Tingyu pursed his lips, was silent for a while and said: "A person, he was born in the Marquis Mansion, but he was frail and sick. However, he was still young at that time and didn't know what it meant. His father also told him that as long as he took medicine on time, he would be fine in the future. It will get better. From the time he can remember, he has listened to the glorious deeds of his ancestors and determined to be a general like his ancestors, to fight for the country and honor his ancestors."

"However, as he grew older, he gradually became more sensible and discovered that he was different from his peers. Others could run no matter how hard they ran, but he would be out of breath for a long time even if he could only walk a few more steps. Let alone practice martial arts."

"However, he did not give up. He continued to study military books diligently, thinking that even if he was physically deficient, he could still become a Confucian general."

"He has read countless military books and feels that his military skills are superior to others, and he is not inferior to some military generals who have left their names in history. However, fate has played a trick on people. As he grows older, his health is getting worse and worse. Even being a Confucian general is a luxury. .”

When Yuan Wenshao heard this, he knew that the person Gu Tingyu was talking about was himself.

It stands to reason that Gu Tingyu's tone should be full of unwillingness, but as if he was talking to someone else, his tone was full of plainness.

After Gu Tingyu finished speaking, he smiled and said: "Uncle Zhongyong must have heard that I am talking about myself, right? Haha, I just saw Uncle Zhongyong's poem at the door and was inspired by it. Uncle Zhongyong, just don't bother me."

Yuan Wenshao shook his head and said: "I have also heard about Gu Hou, and I admire Gu Hou very much."

Gu Tingyu smiled and did not continue the topic. Instead, he changed the topic and said, "I heard that Erlang left Beijing? I wonder where he went?"

Yuan Wenshao was startled and said: "Zhong Huai is going to join the army to make a career. As for where he is going, I don't know."

Gu Tingyu was silent for a while and said: "If possible, please give Uncle Zhongyong a message to Erlang and let him come back."

Yuan Wenshao was stunned. Didn't Gu Tingyu hate Gu Tingye very much? Why did he want Gu Tingye to go back now?

As if seeing Yuan Wenshao's doubts, Gu Tingyu said: "Although Erlang has many friends in Bianjing, as far as I know, Uncle Zhongyong and the eldest son of the Sheng family should be his best friends. Erlang should tell you After some things happened with the Gu family, there is nothing to hide from you. Yes, I hate Erlang, but we are brothers after all. I really can't bear to harm him, I just want to drive him out of the Gu family. "

"I originally thought that my body could last for a few more years, but now it seems that I overestimated myself. I don't trust the Gu family if it is left to others. Only by handing it over to him can I have the honor to meet my father and the ancestors of the Gu family."

He was blinded by hatred before and always thought that Xiao Qin helped him to avenge his mother.

After Gu Tingye was dared to leave Gu's house and his long-cherished wish for the New Year came true, Gu Tingyu came to his senses.

Perhaps the bigger reason why Xiao Qin helped him was because of his title.

He was in poor health and had only one daughter. Gu Tingye was kicked out of the Gu family. After his death, the title could only fall into the hands of Gu Tingwei.

Based on Gu Tingyu's understanding of Gu Tingwei, if the Gu family is handed over to him, it will inevitably decline, which he does not want to see.

For the future of the Gu family, he was willing to put aside his hatred and let Gu Tingye go back.

Yuan Wenshao was silent for a while after hearing this, and asked: "In that case, why didn't you tell Zhong Huai when he was in Bianjing?"

Gu Tingyu smiled bitterly and said, "I went to see him a few days ago, but he didn't want to see me."

Yuan Wenshao didn't expect that such a thing would happen. He pondered for a while and said, "I can only help convey this matter. As for whether Zhong Huai will agree to it, I can't guarantee it."

"Excuse me, Uncle Zhongyong." Gu Tingyu stood up and saluted.

"Gu Hou, what are you doing?" Yuan Wenshao hid quickly.

Gu Tingyu straightened up and said: "Uncle Zhongyong is willing to help, I am very grateful. I have nothing to repay, but I have a piece of advice I want to give to Uncle Zhongyong."

Yuan Wenshao frowned slightly and said, "Gu Hou just said it doesn't matter."

Gu Tingyu said: "Sometimes it seems that the overall situation is settled, but until the dust settles, everything is full of variables. Uncle Zhongyong might as well wait a little longer. Farewell!"

After saying that, Gu Tingyu turned around and walked out.

A look of surprise flashed in Yuan Wenshao's eyes. Gu Tingyu told him this. Could it be that he sensed that King Yan wanted to rebel?
If so, Gu Tingyu's mind is a bit too scary.

You must know that King Yan's rebellion almost succeeded. If Zhao Zongquan had not appeared, it would have been successful.

The reason for this is that no one expected that King Yan would rebel.

After all, the imperial court was very strict on guarding against military generals, and the guarding against clan members was even stricter than military generals.

This is why no one thought that King Yan would rebel.

Gu Tingyu was in poor health. After inheriting the title, he only held a casual position. He was recuperating at home on weekdays and never left the house.

With no information available, it can still be seen that King Yan will rebel, which is almost astonishingly intelligent.

Yuan Wenshao looked at Gu Tingyu's disappearing back and murmured: "I am so jealous of the talent."

……

In the next few months, Bianjing was calm, but secretly it was turbulent.

The official's health seemed to be getting better, and he was never absent from every morning meeting.

Hundreds of officials have repeatedly submitted petitions for the official family to hold the ceremony of adoption and canonize the crown prince, but the official family has always found excuses to delay.

This also made King Yong feel a little uneasy. He thought that the official's health was not good and he would be able to succeed to the throne soon.

But looking at the current situation of the official family, it seems that they can live for another 20 years.Although the official family is in their fifties and it is unlikely that they will have any more heirs, if it is delayed for too long, the risks will increase.

Moreover, he is over 40 years old. If the official family lives another 20 or [-] years, he might die before the official family.

However, no matter how anxious he was, he had no choice but to ask the officials who supported him to continuously file petitions to request the crown prince.

Time passed by so slowly, and it was August before you knew it. In a few days, it would be the day when Jiacheng County Lord and Qi Heng got married.

On this day, Yuan Wenshao was walking in the garden with Hua Lan, who was pregnant with Liujia. A servant came to report that Liu Lei came to visit.

Yuan Wenshao frowned when he heard this, why did Liu Lei come suddenly? Ever since he rejected Prince Yan at Guangyuntai, Liu Lei had never looked for him again.

Did King Yan not give up yet and sent Liu Lei to win over him again?

Seeing that Yuan Wenshao was silent, Hua Lan said, "Guardian, you and Commander Liu haven't seen each other for a long time. They may come to see you for something. It's not good to keep people waiting. Go quickly. I happen to be a little tired." Alright, let’s go back to the room and rest first.”

Yuan Wenshao came to his senses, ordered the maid to send Hua Lan back to her room, and then came to the front hall.

"Haha, Erlang will definitely be very surprised when he sees you."

As soon as he arrived outside the front hall door, he heard Liu Lei's voice coming from inside, which made Yuan Wenshao a little confused.

Without any time to think, Yuan Wenshao walked into the front hall.

Besides Liu Lei, there was another man in the hall. When Yuan Wenshao saw his appearance clearly, he was stunned.

The man was about to speak when he heard footsteps and turned his head. Seeing Yuan Wenshao standing there, he smiled and said, "Why, we haven't seen each other for several years. Have you forgotten me as a friend?"

"Haha, I said Erlang will definitely be surprised when he sees you." Liu Lei said with a smile.

"Sun Xu, when did you come back?"

Yuan Wenshao came to his senses and stepped forward in surprise.

Yes, the other man is Sun Xu, the youngest son of Dingguo Gong Sun Qi.

"Haha, I arrived in Bianjing yesterday evening and went to look for Liu Lei early this morning to find you." Sun Xu smiled.

Yuan Wenshao punched him and scolded him with a smile: "It's easy to say that I forgot my friend. I think you forgot about us. You didn't even notify us in advance when you came back so that I could help you clean up the dust."

"Haha, don't I want to give you a surprise?" Sun Xu said with a smile.

"A few years have passed, and although you have matured a little, your temperament has not changed at all. It seems that your Hedong lion did not train you well." Yuan Wenshao teased.

"Fuck you, my wife is so gentle, how can she be the Hedong Lion." Sun Xu said angrily.

"Really?" Yuan Wenshao said with a smile: "I don't know who turned green when they heard that Duke Dingguo had arranged for him a daughter from the Liu family. When I meet your wife, I will have to give her a good description of you at that time. face."

"If you dare to talk nonsense in front of my wife, I will fight you tooth and nail." Sun Xu said angrily.

"Haha, didn't you say your wife is gentle? Then what are you afraid of?" Yuan Wenshao said with a smile.

"Of course my wife is gentle, but what you said will affect my glorious image in front of her." Sun Xu said harshly.

"Okay, let's sit down and talk first." Liu Lei said.

"Yes, yes, sit down quickly." Yuan Wenshao came back to his senses and greeted.

After sitting down, Yuan Wenshao asked: "Why did you come back suddenly? Is the old lady in good health?"

"It's okay, everything is fine. I originally planned to go back to Bianjing after the New Year. Isn't it because the marriage between Jiacheng County Lord and Qi Heng is approaching? My family has some contacts with the Qi family, and my father can't leave, so he asked me to leave early. Come back soon and attend the wedding banquet." Sun Xu said.

Yuan Wenshao guessed that Duke Dingguo saw that the situation was stable and asked Sun Xu to come back.

After all, a general like him with a large army on the frontier would not leave a hostage in Bianjing for fear of arousing suspicion among the officials.

Sun Xu was asked to leave Bianjing before because King Yong and King Yan were competing for the position of crown prince at that time, and they were afraid that Sun Xu would be involved if he stayed in Bianjing.

Now that the situation is stable, letting Sun Xu return to Bianjing can reassure the officials, and secondly, he can attend the wedding banquet of Jiacheng County Lord and sell well to King Yong.

However, this kind of thing cannot be explained clearly. Yuan Wenshao nodded and changed the subject: "By the way, where is your wife? Why didn't you bring her here?"

"We just arrived yesterday, and she needs to take care of a lot of things at home." Sun Xu said.

"My wife is pregnant with Liujia and it is inconvenient to go out. You can bring your wife to my house to play more often, and you can also talk to my wife by the way." Yuan Wenshao said.

"Don't worry, I will definitely come to disturb you often in the future, as long as you don't find it annoying." Sun Xu said with a smile.

"Erlang, Polu said on the way here that he wanted to be your in-laws." Liu Lei said with a smile.

"Go away, his son is two or three years younger than my daughter." Yuan Wenshao said angrily.

"There is a saying among the people that if a female college student holds gold bricks, it is not just right if she is two or three years younger. Based on the relationship between our two families, if your daughter marries my son in the future, I will definitely not let him be wronged." Sun Xu laughed. road.

"Then have you heard another saying?" Yuan Wenshao asked.

"What common saying?" Sun Xu asked doubtfully.

"A woman's [-]th birthday will bring her great fortune." Yuan Wenshao said.

Sun Xu: "..."

"Haha." Liu Lei laughed and said, "We haven't gotten together for a long time. How many drinks can we go to Fanlou?"

"It's boring to go to Fan Lou every day. I haven't been to Guangyuntai for a few days. Let's go to Guangyuntai." Yuan Wenshao said with a smile.

Sun Xu's face turned green when he heard this, and he said weakly: "We are all married now, so it's not a good idea to go to a place like that."

"What's not so good? When you first came to Bianjing, you kept clamoring to go to Guangyuntai. I remember that you had a sweetheart in Guangyuntai. What was his name?"

Yuan Wenshao remembered that Sun Xu fell in love with a woman at Guangyuntai and said he wanted to redeem her body.

Of course, that was just drunken talk. The Sun family was the Duke's palace, and the girls from the brothel were not qualified even to be maids.

"I remember it was called Ruyi." Liu Lei said with a smile.

"Brothers, please stop talking. I'm here to treat you today. I just ask you not to mention this in the future." Sun Xu said with a bitter face.

"Hahaha~"

Yuan Wenshao and Liu Lei couldn't help laughing when they saw Sun Xu's face turned green.

"I don't know who said he is not afraid of his wife." Yuan Wenshao laughed.

"I'm not afraid, it's love." Sun Xu said harshly.
