Chapter 868 about one

"I'm still looking for fun. Concubine Zhao Xian goes to this concubine every day to beg to see His Majesty. Why don't you go see her? Now there are rumors of her falling out of favor again."

"I saw her doing nothing more than complaining to her son. How could the disease of Prince Yu's family be faked by the imperial physician? You are in the harem all day, and you don't know what's going on outside. A new word has started to be circulated among the common people, called Beast Father. , refers to the illness of the children under King Yu's knees, not to mention how ugly it is."

"Father of the Beast?! Do you mean the Father of the Beast? My God!" The queen is old enough to know her destiny, and it is impossible to pretend to be ignorant and innocent, and she can understand what she is scolding when she rolls her eyes.

"There are no good words for the common people's comments. It's worth not to listen to these filthy words."

"But what happened to the children, is there any reasonable explanation?"

"Someone suggested to check the laundry room to see how the washerwomen do their laundry, and finally found that they really mixed the clothes of the whole family. At most, they only separated the outer clothes from the underwear, and separated the clothes of men and women, but did not separate the clothes of adults. Separated from children's clothes, it is very likely that children's clothes will be covered with disease-causing dirt."

"It's terrible! It's incredible that there is still such a way of getting sick!"

"The crown prince has not finished interrogating those accompanying servants, and the patients in Prince Yu's mansion have just started treatment. The eldest son of the emperor who I have loved since childhood can really give me a face." Speaking of King Yu, the saint's face that was smiling just now sank.

"Your Majesty..." No one can persuade this kind of thing, the king of Yu is to blame, the queen sighed slightly when she saw the saint's face, she was very happy that the crown prince's position was as stable as a rock ever since.

The sage waved his hand, put down his teacup and was about to go to the imperial study to continue dealing with political affairs, the maid came forward and reported to Concubine Zhao Xian to see the sage.

Seeing the sage's displeased face, the queen tactfully retreated to the back, leaving the front hall for the sage to talk to Concubine Zhao Xian.

Ever since Concubine Zhao Xian learned from her daughter that her son had an accident and the palace was closed, she has always wanted to see the saint to intercede, but the saint never saw her, even her palace, so she had no choice but to come to the queen, hoping to see the saint here.

Today I finally met her once.

But the sage was not in a good mood to talk to his favorite concubine. This incident of King Yu not only made the government and the public laugh at him, but also tarnished the face of the entire Tian family and clan. When going out, the sage was angry and wanted to laugh, impatient to hear Concubine Zhao Xian finished speaking, so he asked her to salute and leave.

Concubine Zhao Xian has dominated the harem for decades, and she has always been proud. Now that the saint doesn't show any face, she is also shocked. She asks for love again but sees the saint's face showing anger. She kneels hurriedly and begs the saint to calm down. Write a letter, telling her that the sage is still angry, and King Yu will continue to be under house arrest in the mansion and cannot go out.

At this time, the queen came out from behind again, exchanged new tea for the sage, helped him get dressed, and sent him out.

King Yu has no solution. He is on a business trip, and it is common for his subordinates to offer beautiful women to sleep with him. But if he gets sick, hey, after the crown prince cleans up the mess, let’s see how the sage will deal with King Yu. If he is lucky, he may be able to keep it. He is the title of Prince Yu.

The queen smiled slightly, in a good mood.

In Duke Ye's mansion, Gu Yun dismissed the girl, and he and Bai Kou started to set up private accounts. The relatively large expenditures were all right, but Gu Yun would sometimes take some change and spend it outside. Keeping the accounts in time, it made a difference of tens of taels of silver, but fortunately, the amount of the short payment is not large, and the amount of tens of taels is now considered a small amount in the eyes of both of them, and it will be erased after adding a sum in the account book .

After counting everything, Gu Yun locked the ledger into the cash box, Bai Kou supported the table and got up, stretched slowly, and heard Gu Yun's laughter behind him without any surprise.

"Why are you laughing?" Bai Kou turned her head and made a grimace.

Gu Yun almost stretched out his hand habitually, but fortunately he remembered that Bai Kou was now a commoner, and restrained his impulse.

"I can't even smile?"

"I thought you found the money."

Bai Kou twisted and sat on her stiff waist, Gu Yun's eyes fell on her waist, she suddenly felt dry in her mouth, swallowed, turned her face and quickly locked the lock of the money box, and then turned around to see, Bai Kou Already clearing up the pen and ink on the table.

"Go back to the palace now?"

"What? Want to invite me to dinner?"

"Okay, now that we are partners, we should have a meal together." Gu Yun nodded naturally without thinking about it.

"Is there a good place to introduce?" Bai Kou straightened up, raised her eyebrows and looked at Gu Yun with a half-smile.

Gu Yun was suddenly at a loss for words. He once again forgot that this is not the past. In the past, he could casually take Bai Kou out of restaurants, but he can no longer do so. Even if he wants to eat with Bai Kou at his own home, his parents will object. People will also have discussions, and they can only borrow the place of the palace chief, but men and women still have to be separated before the food and wine are served.

What's the point? !

Bai Kou smiled and looked at Gu Yun with distressed expression, but after a while his brows relaxed.

"Of course there are good places. Let's go to Yirenfang to eat. There are so many restaurants and restaurants with exotic flavors. It happens to be eaten in every family."

"Okay, let's make an appointment next time."

"How about tomorrow? Tomorrow morning, go to the factory to finish the work, and then go to Yirenfang for dinner at noon? I'll ask someone to book a private room early in the morning." Gu Yun knew that the iron was hot.

"It's all good, you decide, I have to leave quickly, I haven't seen my sister today."

"In the yamen, I saw how many pages were given to you by the book office? Did you check other things?"

"Check the current situation of my Bai clan."

"Uh, is there a problem?"

"No problem, good news."

"Ah? Can you tell me?"

"My grandfather's branch was expelled."

"Is this also good news?!"

"Of course, but you are the young master who is used to enjoying the protection of the clan, so naturally you don't know the benefits of being a bachelor."

"A woman with no father, no mother, no brothers, and a huge amount of property will be squeezed out of all her benefits by the greedy clan." Gu Yun narrowed his eyes slightly, "You are single now, and you are not afraid of anyone thinking of you. You dare to offend, there is nothing you are afraid of."

"Yo, you are not stupid."

"Are you going to tell your sister about this?"

"Not only this matter, but also the household registration matter. It must not be easy to talk to her anyway."

"Are you a female householder?!"

"Why are you so smart today?"

"How stupid am I in your eyes?!" Gu Yun was speechless.

"Uh, it depends." After all, it's a partner, Bai Kou said mercilessly, she walked around the table and picked up her satchel and carried it on her back, "My sister and I have different household registration addresses, so naturally we are single girls Hu, the sisters are both grown-ups, far away smells like near stink, it is good for both parties to keep a little distance, otherwise the natural relationship between fellow sisters may be over soon."

"I know."

"Then I'm leaving, see you tomorrow." Bai Kou took the congratulatory gifts from Mrs. Gan and Mrs. Gu, and walked out.

"Shall we meet on the street early tomorrow morning? How about you go to the factory at the usual time?"

"Okay, finish your work early and leave early. It will take a lot of time to go to Yirenfang Road."

"Well, then I'll take you out."

Gu Yun really sent Bai Kou out of the gate, and watched her walk towards the women's tea room. Then he turned and went back to the house. He chose clothes for tomorrow in the bedroom, and changed one after another in front of the mirror.

(Author's words: Dragon Boat Festival, everyone! The college entrance examination is over, and the high school entrance examination is about to begin. Children, are you ready?)
