Chapter 144 Surprised
Gu Mingxuan never thought that Qi Feiming would appear in her life in such a way - she thought that after she and Feng Qingli brought down the third prince, she would have time to trouble Qi Feiming, but she didn't. Thinking that before she took action, Qi Feiming had already participated in her life in this way.

This is completely different from the previous life!

In his previous life, Qi Feiming was just a young general. When she met him, he was about the seventh or eighth rank, a small character who would not be picked on by others. In this life, before they met, Qi Feiming was already a fifth rank. pacified.

How many noble children may not reach this height in their lifetime!

What went wrong?

Gu Mingxuan couldn't figure it out, she regretted that she didn't inquire about the details of Qi Feiming's promotion earlier, and in this feeling of regret, there was also endless resentment and heartache for the child.

She couldn't control her emotions in an instant, and her whole body trembled a little.

"Miss, what's wrong with you? What's wrong with you?" Aunt Cui was talking, and she saw Gu Mingxuan's face was pale, her expression was stiff, and her body was very cold. It seemed that she had encountered something very bad. Similarly, Aunt Cui was a little startled, for fear that Gu Wenqian would blame Gu Mingxuan on her for something. After getting used to the current life, Aunt Cui no longer wanted to live like before—even though Mrs. He didn't dare to treat her It's too much, but it doesn't feel good to be a transparent person.

Gu Mingxuan was awakened by the temperature of Aunt Cui's hand on her body. She barely suppressed the intense emotions in her heart, smiled, and said to Aunt Cui: "I'm worried about Auntie Cui. I'm fine. I'm probably not sick yet. It's all good, so I feel a little uncomfortable all of a sudden."

Aunt Cui breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Gu Mingxuan's face was slowly turning pale, and said to Gu Mingxuan: "My daughter's body is the most delicate, so you must take good care of it. Why don't you stay for a while, Auntie?" How about asking the doctor to come over and feel the pulse for the eldest lady?"

"I don't need it. If that's the case, my grandmother and father will have to worry again. In fact, I'm fine. It's just that my illness is just right, and I feel a little unwell. I think I'll be fine after a few days."

That's not a little discomfort... Aunt Cui thought so in her heart, but seeing Gu Mingxuan persisted, she stopped persuading her, and just planned to stay and talk to Gu Wenqian later, so that she could also win a concern from Lord Hou Missy's good impression.

Aunt Cui thought so in her heart, but said with a smile on her mouth: "This is the filial piety of the eldest lady. However, if I want to come to the old lady and Lord Hou, I also hope that the eldest lady will be safe and healthy."

"Auspicious words from Aunt Cheng." Gu Mingxuan responded with a smile, and Aunt Cui continued to ask: "Although Master Hou helped the young lady to pay attention, and let my aunt secretly read it, but I don't know what the young lady is thinking. I was too embarrassed to ask myself, so I asked my aunt to help me ask, what does it mean to look at the eldest lady? If you don't object... No, the eldest lady will take a look quietly?"

"Ah?" Gu Mingxuan was a little surprised now, she really didn't expect that her father planned to let her take a look!
However, it turned out that Gu Mingling had also seen her fiancé-in-law!
Although men and women have to abide by it, but those who love their daughters always hope that their daughters marry well, but when this topic is mentioned, it is normal for girls to be shy, but Gu Mingxuan really can't make herself face it. The face showed the shy blush on Gu Mingling's face when he mentioned the young master of the Bao family, so he could only lower his head and respond with an absolutely correct sentence: "But let the father make the decision."

Seeing Gu Mingxuan like this, Aunt Cui thought that Gu Mingxuan was willing, but she said so because of embarrassment, so she was very happy. If this matter goes well, the master will be happy, and if the master is happy, she will be happy. Have a good time.

Gu Mingxuan came and went in a hurry, and when Gu Mingxuan left, Aunt Cui stood in front of Gu Wenqian and told Gu Wenqian about Gu Mingxuan's reaction, "Missy is shy, she didn't say anything, she just said but it's up to Master Hou to make the decision. Looking at it, it seems that the big and small have no aversion to low marriage." "You have to look at the affairs of the daughter's family to be at ease" and so on. Gu Wenqian nodded in satisfaction after hearing the words.

Since Xuan'er has no objection, it is indeed necessary to arrange for her daughter to take a sneak peek earlier... After all, no matter how good my plan is, if my daughter doesn't like it, then it doesn't matter.

As for Qi Feiming's opinion?What opinion can he have? For him, it is already a great blessing for his beautiful daughter to marry him!In Gu Wenqian's mind, his daughter is the best, no one deserves it!

Not to mention the bully thoughts in Gu Wenqian's heart, Aunt Cui over there was satisfied with Gu Wenqian, and she was also very happy in her heart, so she tentatively asked: "Then Hou Ye plans to invite Qi Zhenfu to have a light meal? Qi Zhenfu was originally a subordinate of Lord Hou, although he is not a direct subordinate of Lord Hou now, but the relationship is still there, and it is okay to have a meal."

Gu Wenqian heard the words, but frowned and remained silent. In this case, why does it feel like his daughter is begging to marry him?Could it be that the daughter will not be able to marry?How could it be possible, he just chose Qi Feiming because he didn't want his daughter to suffer.

It's not that he has to!
Therefore, Gu Wenqian shook his head and said: "There is no need to invite him specially, let's talk about it when he has something to visit in the mansion."

This is a good thing that no one else can ask for, even if he is in a hurry, it should be Qi Feiming who is in a hurry, not himself - lest it appear that his Xuan'er cannot get married.

When Aunt Cui heard the words, she also understood at this moment, and hurriedly blamed herself: "It's all due to the concubine's confusion, and it's because Lord Hou is thoughtful."

"You are also worried about Xuan'er, so don't blame yourself." After saying a word, Gu Wenqian waved his hand and said to Aunt Cui: "Go and rest first, I will rest in your yard today."

When Aunt Cui heard the words, she was so happy that her heart was about to blossom—it turned out that when Mrs. He was there, Lord Hou rarely spent time in the mansion, and even in the mansion, he slept in the study room most of the time, occasionally going to the Baihe Hall to spend the night, As for her own yard, she never went there. Aunt Cui felt sad when she thought about it. In name, she was Lord Hou's concubine. In fact, she was good enough to see Lord Hou twice a year!

How can it be like this now that you don't say anything when you meet every few days, and you can still serve Lord Hou by chance.

When Aunt Cui went out, Gu Wenqian sighed softly. According to his heart, he doesn't care about these female sexes. His beloved wife has already gone, and other people are dispensable. The words he heard made him feel that he couldn't go on like this.

That sentence is quite correct, no matter what, Brother Rong crawled out of He's stomach, no matter how good-natured he is, there is still a gap between him and Xuan'er, after all, Brother Rong is the closest Other than himself, it must be the He family. No matter how bad the He family is, she is also his mother.

In this way, after a hundred years, Xuan'er will have no natal family who can support her, and he is afraid that she will be wronged in the future. Therefore, he needs to plan for Xuan'er's future. Since Xuan'er has a good relationship with the Cui family, he also I don't mind making Choi better.

When Cui Shi gives birth to a boy, he will definitely let Cui Shi's child get closer to Xuan'er, and then give that child a good future, so that Xuan'er will not be helpless in the future.

Maybe he thought too much, Brother Rong is still very good, but his Xuan'er has suffered too much, he hopes that he can plan everything for Xuan'er, and in this life, don't let Xuan'er suffers again.

Aunt Cui, who had already walked out of the study, didn't know what was going on in Gu Wenqian's mind. When she arrived on the road, she was stopped by the little maid sent by Madam Zhuang. Since Madam Zhuang invited her, Aunt Cui naturally dared not refuse to go. Together with the little maid, I arrived at Tsinghua Garden.

Nanny Zhuang has been very busy recently, seeing that Gu Mingxuan has gradually become a qualified lady of the family, although she can't compete with those daughters who have been taught by famous teachers since she was a child, she is very good at words and deeds!
This made Nanny Zhuang feel very proud - just like Gu Wenqian, Nanny Zhuang also felt that her lady is the best, so, Nanny Zhuang felt a little displeased when she found out about the person Gu Wenqian had chosen.

It's just that she also knew that, as a father, Gu Wenqian loved Gu Mingxuan so much, and would definitely do the best for Gu Mingxuan, so she decided to ask about the specific situation.

Aunt Cui repeated what she had said to Gu Mingxuan, Zhuang Nanny turned pale, and immediately asked about other things about Qi Feiming, for example, what kind of merit did he make to allow the emperor to decree that he should be promoted in an extraordinary way?
Aunt Cui didn't know very well, she just heard that King Heyang was involved, and Madam Zhuang frowned deeply when she heard this!
The King of Heyang and the King of Huainan are two cancers of the Yong Dynasty—perhaps for the common people, the King of Heyang and the King of Huainan were like heroes, but now, the two palaces are getting closer and closer. The more powerful they are, the more arrogant they are. They are no longer the original patrons of the people, but they are working with other races to bully the people and squeeze the court.

If these two princes are involved... Madam Zhuang sighed, it seems that this person might be promoted by the emperor because of his spying on King Heyang's important secrets.

However, no matter how Qi Feiming got promoted, generally speaking, Nanny Zhuang thinks he can do well. The only bad thing is his background.

However, those with a high background may not necessarily have a simple population like Qi Feiming's family!
If it is true, Nanny Zhuang also thinks that Qi Feiming is not bad.

When Nanny Zhuang let Aunt Cui go, Gu Mingxuan also knew the reason for Qi Feiming's sudden promotion, and then, Gu Mingxuan frowned deeply.

In the previous life, Qi Feiming would become Uncle Jingyang from a small general. At first, it was naturally because of his father's support and support that he was promoted quickly, and later, it was because Qi Feiming was in charge of dealing with King Heyang. He discovered the place where King Heyang hid grain and grass, and successfully sent people to burn the grain and grass. After that, he made many contributions, and gradually became Uncle Jingyang.

But that is at least six or seven years later!

At that time, I and Qi Feiming were married, and I was so proud of Qi Feiming's ability!

But now, everything is suddenly ahead of schedule! ~
Gu Mingxuan always felt unreal.

After staying alone for a long time, a cold light flashed in Gu Mingxuan's eyes. Her father was the emperor's confidant, so she naturally didn't want King Heyang to rebel and threaten the court. Therefore, Qi Feiming really needed to be kept. He could weaken Heyang. King Yang's power is very useful, but it must not allow Qi Feiming to become the powerful Uncle Jingyang...

But how can I intervene in the affairs of the court?

It's really difficult!
Gu Mingxuan was a little anxious... No, don't worry, Qi Feiming is only at the fifth rank now, wait a minute, don't worry... Gu Mingxuan calmed herself down, and then, a ruthless light flashed in her eyes.

In his previous life, Qi Feiming trusted these two people and relied on them as his right-hand men. If he could buy them off...

Gu Mingxuan closed her eyes, she needed to send a letter to Commander Tao to check everything about Qi Feiming, but Xiaofeng was not around, so it was inconvenient for her to send a letter to Commander Tao behind Nanny Zhuang's back.

I can only let Du Juan find an excuse to go out.

Only by finding out who is around Qi Feiming can we make a move.

Because it is the end of the new year, there will always be a lot of things, not only Sun and Aunt Cui are too busy, but Gu Mingxuan is also very busy-this is the first year she took over her mother's dowry shop, the shopkeepers and Zhuang The head has to come to her to reimburse her, and she also has to decide whether to reward or punish based on last year's performance.

Grandma Zhuang was afraid that Gu Mingxuan would not understand, so she sat behind the screen with Gu Mingxuan and listened to the report. Gu Mingxuan actually understood everything, but she needed to hide her clumsiness, so she asked Nanny Zhuang for her opinion, but she would come up with some very Targeted suggestions were also pointed to the point. Most people have always been loyal to Princess Huaqing, and they love Gu Mingxuan very much.

As for the rest of the shopkeepers, Zhuangtou, they were dissatisfied and dared not say anything.

But Gu Mingxuan knew that among these people, there were quite a few moths. In her previous life, she brought them to marry Qi Feiming, but these people still listened to He's words and gave most of their dowry proceeds to He's.

Gu Mingxuan must clean up these people.

It's just that she didn't want to do something right after returning home, and she didn't want to be too unreasonable to the old man who had served her mother before, so she endured it all the time.

However, this reimbursement gave her a chance.

Gu Mingxuan pointed out on the spot that there were problems with the prospects of the two shops and the three Zhuangzi.

The three heads of the farm immediately began to yell, some said that the weather was bad, some said that the tenants made things difficult, and some said that the price of this year's goods was cheap, although the harvest was high, they couldn't afford the price!

After Gu Mingxuan sneered, she glanced at the maid Sangzhi beside her. Sangzhi knew that she needed to go out on her own at this time, so she sneered and said, "The three Zhuangtou are so bold that they dare to bully the young lady, Miss Moxia. Don’t you think Miss is young, so she will definitely be deceived by you?”

The three hurriedly complained, saying that they would never dare to do such a thing, and accused Sang Zhi of disregarding superiority and inferiority, that the young lady dared to yell and drink before she could speak, and there were no rules.

Sang Zhi sneered, and said: "It seems that the three of you may not know. Master Hou was afraid that Miss would be deceived if she was young and didn't know about farming, so she checked out the situation in various places early on for Miss's reference. Miss didn't say anything. It's to give you face, don't take Miss' kindness as an excuse to deceive Miss."

Last night, Gu Mingxuan had already talked about this matter with Sang Zhi. Ever since Luzhu got married, Gu Mingxuan has been missing someone who can act as a vanguard who can replace her and say what she is inconvenient to say. people, and Sang Zhi was the person Gu Mingxuan re-selected.

She was going to send Sangzhi away, but it turned out that Sangzhi was used again and did her a favor. After Gu Mingxuan beat Sangzhi, she continued to keep her, and Sangzhi, because she knew that she had offended Because of Gu Mingxuan, she was extraordinarily considerate.

Now, in order to win Gu Mingxuan's favor, Sang Zhi was not polite at all to those three village owners, and reported the details about the three village owners as well as the local weather, prices, etc. in a crisp voice. The three Zhuangtou's faces were ashen when they heard this.

Mother Zhuang opened her mouth before Gu Mingxuan spoke, and severely punished the three bosses. She didn't want Gu Mingxuan to be such a villain. Gu Mingxuan just needed to maintain an image of being smart and not easy to be deceived That's fine, she will be the bad guy for the time being.

When Gu Mingxuan gets married in the future and her prestige is established day by day, no matter what she does at that time, it will be fine. I don't want to think that if she is punished lightly, it will have no effect, and if she is punished severely, she will be regarded as mean.

Gu Mingxuan accepted Nanny Zhuang's kindness, and Nanny Zhuang dared to go out the three Zhuangtou who played the role of killing chickens to warn monkeys. Of course, their family wealth would also be liquidated, but Nanny Zhuang gave Their respective identity deeds were issued, indicating that they were no longer the servants of the Gu family of Marquis Shun'an.

In this way, it is basically tantamount to cutting off the way of life of these people - an abandoned servant who was kicked out for lying to the master's family, of course, it is impossible for others to dare to use it.

This is completely different from the servants who were released into slavery by the master because of their meritorious service.

A smile flashed across Gu Mingxuan's eyes, and after that, the other shopkeepers became more honest, and their hearts were also uneasy, for fear that Nanny Zhuang would treat them in the same way - some of them also did something wrong.

Gu Mingxuan felt that it was almost done, so she said to Nanny Zhuang: "Mommy, why don't you come here today, Xuan'er still has things to do."

Madam Zhuang agreed.

In this way, those shopkeepers who were so anxious that they felt that it was like rain after a long drought, of course they were not stupid, they knew that Gu Mingxuan specially wanted to let them go, so that they had time to correct the wrong accounts.

In this way, he left with a thousand thanks.

When they left, Gu Mingxuan shook her head helplessly, and accompanied Nanny Zhuang back to Tsinghua Garden.

Du Juan brought news of Qi Feiming from Commander Tao.

Gu Mingxuan was heartbroken when she heard the words, took the letterhead that Du Juan handed over, and slowly read it.

By Qi Feiming's side, the two most trusted confidantes are already there - this is not right, one of the two is a hunter from Qi Feiming's hometown, and he is the best at walking in the mountains and forests, but his wife and son, When he was hunting, he was killed by someone, and Qi Feiming avenged him, so he followed Qi Feiming wholeheartedly. This should be what happened when Qi Feiming sent his old mother back to his hometown after he got engaged to Qi Feiming. It's far worse now.

The other confidant is a person from the capital. Gu Mingxuan is not very clear about how Qi Feiming got him, but she knows that Qi Feiming relies on him very much, but this person appears by Qi Feiming's side. Qi Feiming's Orion fellow was only about half a year earlier.

But now, this matter is the same as Qi Feiming's going to the capital, five or six years earlier!

Gu Mingxuan even had an absurd thought in her heart - could Qi Feiming be the same as herself?Otherwise, how could things have turned out like this?
It should be impossible!
In this life, my own fate has changed, Feng Qingli's fate has changed, and the fate of everyone related to them has also changed. Maybe Qi Feiming is just one of them?
However, deep doubts were left in Gu Mingxuan's heart, making her feel that she needs to test Qi Feiming, but before doing this, she must first solve the problems of Qi Feiming's two confidants. Gu Mingxuan didn't mind letting them get out of Qi Feiming's side.

Don't say that if Qi Feiming is the same as himself, then he knows how to deal with all the things in the future. You must know that many things in this life are different from the previous life. What Qi Feiming needs to face is a new situation.

Thinking of this, Gu Mingxuan asked Du Juan to inform Commander Tao to see how the two people beside Qi Feiming got to him!

Du Juan is very puzzled by Gu Mingxuan's question - she also knows that this Lord Qi, it is said, is very likely to be their uncle, so it is understandable for the lady to check this Lord Qi, but why is this Lord Qi next to him? People, want to check?
Moreover, the lady asked for a detailed investigation!
Gu Mingxuan ignored Du Juan's doubts, but asked Du Juan to take the opportunity of sending a letter to Xie Junru to inform Commander Tao.

After doing all this, Gu Mingxuan relaxed a little, and the day slipped to New Year's Eve.

The Cui family and Gu Wenqian went to the palace to receive a banquet to worship the emperor and queen, and offered sacrifices to the heavens and ancestors. After that, they were busy visiting the elders and accepting the visits. After seven or eight days of busy work, when it was the tenth day of the lunar new year, Gu Wenqian was not as early as before. Go out, instead, stay home all the time.

Soon, Gu Mingxuan knew the reason!

Qi Feiming came to visit Gu Wenqian today!
