Warm spring enters Hou's door
Chapter 106 Her Fiance
Chapter 106 Her Fiance
Anyway, there were no outsiders here, they were scared by the snake and ran down the mountain. They had already seen such scandals, so what's the big deal about eating two more burnt fish?
Anyway, they had already stumbled several times in front of Du Juanqing, and they were already ashamed.Therefore, it doesn't matter how low the lower limit is now.
Of course - the premise is that this group of people don't make any noise after they go back.Otherwise, he has a way to shut them up!
With such thoughts in his heart, Wu Chongxun gradually regained his composure.
Wu Yanji and the others were already so hungry that their chests pressed against their backs.This grilled fish is actually burnt on one side, but the other side is intact.Therefore, although the paste smell is overflowing, there is also a tantalizing fragrance mixed in the paste smell.Especially when the fish is brought to you, the aroma is even more obvious.
For a group of tired and hungry people, what is more important than the food delivered to them?
Therefore, even though Wu Chongxun and Wu Yanji were both sullen.But when the concubines removed the mushy side and picked out the intact side and brought it to them, they still reluctantly took it and ate it.
And this sip - "Wow, it smells so good!"
Those who were still full of displeasure just now were amazed by the deliciousness that went into their stomachs.Even, this delicacy is much more delicious than anything made by Gu Caiwei that they have eaten before!
Immediately, they lost their anger, and hurriedly ate up half of the fish they got.
This is not enough.After eating one piece, they immediately signaled Concubine Ji to bring the others as well.
Pity these beauties, they have dragged their delicate bodies up the mountain for a long time, and they are so tired that their hands and feet are weak and their stomachs are hungry.But even so, they still had to serve Wu Yanji well first.
Seeing that they were not happy to eat the burnt fish, they thought they could eat more!Anyway, they usually ate the leftovers from the two brothers, so they didn't object to Gu Caiwei throwing the fish they didn't want to them.
As a result, who would have thought...
Although they were full of complaints, they obediently picked off the whole side of the remaining fish and sent them over.
The Wu Chongxun brothers were not too polite, so they all took them and ate them up!
In the end, they ate until their stomachs were full, but they didn't stop.If it wasn't for the burnt side, they probably wouldn't shut up.
Then, the beauties and the guards were able to hold the burnt half of the fish that they didn't want and gnawed it in small bites.
Seeing this scene, Gu Caiwei couldn't help shaking her head and whispering. "Is this the so-called lord of the Wu family who loves the fragrance and cherishes the jade? I have seen with my own eyes how they love the fragrance and cherish the jade."
Gu Tianyuan was more direct, he whispered: "The two of them are so shameless. They are two big men, but they know that they enjoy themselves, and they don't care about other people's lives at all. This kind of people will definitely end badly in the future !"
Gu Caiwei sighed lightly. "It's all their own business. They are willing to do it themselves. Why do we care so much?"
As we speak, the freshly grilled fish can be considered cooked.This time, the fish was grilled until golden on both sides. Take a bite, you will feel crispy in the mouth, but the fish inside is tender and elastic.As expected of a fish grown in a mountain spring, this fish has a sweet taste of spring water, and the fish is firm and tender, with a bit of chewiness.
Everyone on their side shared one piece, and Gu Tianyuan and Du Yi happily ate.
Until he finished eating all the fish, Du Yi didn't even have time to wipe the oil off his mouth, so he looked at Gu Caiwei with wide eyes: "Why is this fish so delicious? It's better than before when we were in the capital and in Xuchang Ou Shenzi's little girl." The food on the island is delicious!"
"That's because I used my secret grilled fish ingredients today!" Gu Caiwei said with a smile, "This is the most suitable thing for barbecue that I collected from all over the country. After proper processing, it is mixed in a certain proportion. Together. Sprinkle it on the things you want to bake every time before cooking, and the aroma will overflow after a little roasting, which can maximize the freshness of the fish."
"Then why didn't you bring it out for us to eat?" Du Yi hurriedly asked.
Gu Caiwei smiled. "People have to have some unique skills, don't they? Besides, there are so few seasonings, and I only have so much here. I usually just close the door and eat a little secretly, and no one else will give it to me. I am also in a good mood today. , I just thought about sharing it. Who knows..."
Just let them meet Wu Yanji and the others who were scared out of their wits by the snake, wasting so much of her hard-earned condiments!
When Du Yi and the others heard this, they immediately stared at Wu Chongxun and his group in unison.
Wu Chongxun's expressions immediately changed slightly.
However, although they were full, they still couldn't help smacking their lips and swallowing several mouthfuls of saliva while watching Gu Caiwei and the others feasting on the perfectly grilled fish in front of them.
In the end, Wu Chongxun took the initiative to say: "Mrs. Changning Hou, how do you sell this seasoning? We bought it!"
"Not for sale." Gu Caiwei immediately refused.
But Wu Yanji continued as if he didn't hear it, "How much is it, you set a price, we will give you whatever you want!"
"My elder sister said that this small bottle of condiment was saved by him after traveling all over the mountains and rivers of my Great Zhou Dynasty with great difficulty. It is a priceless treasure and is not for sale!" Gu Tianyuan said hastily, "What do you think? If you want to eat, go back and find someone to make it yourself, why do you have to ask someone else to buy it? Do you Wu family have nothing else to sell except money?"
"They are!" Du Yi nodded hastily.
Both Wu Chongxun gritted their teeth angrily.
"Mrs. Changninghou, even though we have been very respectful to your family all this way, don't you think that we will be flattered if we take a step back. You really think you are amazing! We just want to make money with harmony and just want to make money as soon as possible." Handle the matter here properly so that Her Majesty the Queen can give an explanation. But this does not mean that we are afraid of you!" Wu Yanji growled unbearably.
Gu Caiwei blinked. "So you are not afraid of us?"
Wu Yanji choked, and he quickly growled again. "Don't forget, we are the Wu Family! Her Majesty the Empress is my aunt!"
"Understood. But apart from Her Majesty, what else can you do to scare us?" Gu Caiwei only asked.
Wu Yanji was speechless again.
Gu Caiwei smiled triumphantly. "However, we have a lot now! For example...if you don't pay attention, I will put some medicine in your tea to keep you from lifting, then you will only be able to see so many things in front of you in the next few days." The beauty can't move, I wonder if you want to try again?"
In no mood!Absolutely not!
The memory of those more than two months is definitely a nightmare for them that cannot be eradicated. Until now, they occasionally dream that they have returned to that time again, and then wake up from their sleep, sweating profusely and terrified.They had to quickly bring a concubine Ji and prove with practical actions that their little brother was still intact, so that they could rest assured.
It can be said that the impact of this incident on them is immeasurable, at least now they still feel trembling when they think about it.
Now that Gu Caiwei brought up the old matter again, they suddenly trembled again, almost crying again.
Wu Chongxun managed to stabilize himself, and then hurriedly cupped his hands: "Thanks to Mrs. Changning Hou for saving us from danger today, and thank you for giving us grilled fish to feed our hunger. We brothers and I will always keep your love in mind. Good luck to repay you. But now, my younger brother still has an injury in his leg, so we won't disturb you any more. We'll go back first!"
After all, the group of them didn't dare to delay for a moment, and left in a hurry.
When the people walked away, Gu Tianyuan couldn't help but said: "What he said has a chance to turn around, should it mean that he has no chance?"
"That's for sure." Gu Caiwei nodded, "I've already threatened them like this, why do they hate me in their hearts! Repay me? People surnamed Wu are not such kind-hearted people."
But after she finished speaking, she also put the matter behind her. "Forget about these people, let's continue playing our game!"
"Yeah!"
The two little guys also nodded immediately, and the group of people began to eat, drink and play happily again.
They played and played on the mountain until the afternoon, and then they returned with a big bucket of fish and a few boxes of fruit.
At this time Du Juanqing had already returned.He looked at Gu Caiwei who was smiling heartlessly, his eyes darkened slightly.
When Gu Caiwei saw this, she immediately smiled. "What's the matter? What happened to the iron mine?"
"No." Du Juan shook his head, "However, news came from Chang'an again today. Her Majesty the Queen knew that the iron ore was of good quality. She was very happy, so she specially ordered the Ministry of Households to allocate 100 million yuan for us to spend. Even Her Majesty also agreed. People have been ordered to go to various places to recruit civilians, so that these high-quality iron ore can be excavated as soon as possible for military supplies."
Gu Caiwei immediately heard the problem.
"How could it be so fast? And shouldn't those things be led by the Ministry of War and Accounts? Why are they all taken care of by Her Majesty the Queen now?"
Although in the end things will definitely be delegated to lower ministries for specific operations.However, judging from the news that has been fed back now, there is something strange here.
"If nothing else happens, it should be the Wu family who cut off the beard." Du Juan said calmly.
Gu Caiwei suddenly realized.
"If you want to put it that way, then this matter can be explained. Now only the Wu family has the ability to use the secret passage in the post station to pass the news to Chang'an, and it is directly passed to Her Majesty the Queen. It's just that ..."
She couldn't help shaking her head again. "Aren't they in the same group as the people from the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Finance? Then why are they taking credit for it now? According to the normal procedure, the credit for them will not be less!"
"But they are not satisfied yet. They want more." Du Jun said coldly, "Even, their ultimate goal is not credit at all, but this iron mine."
Gu Caiwei's heartbeat accelerated a few beats immediately.
"Well, this is indeed something that the Wu family can do. But the people in the Ministry of Household and Military Affairs recognize it like this? They can't be so cowardly, right?"
Although they have been sycophanting Wu's ass all the time, but now Wu has come directly to take credit for them!And it's still such a big credit, this matter is absolutely unbearable.
"Of course not. They came to the King of Gaoyang County after they heard the news today, but the King of Gaoyang County used the excuse that Prince Wei's son was bitten by a snake and needed to rest in bed, so he asked someone to drive them out. Wu just left without seeing him." Du Juanqing said again.
Gu Caiwei sprayed immediately.
"They are really shameless! Just a water snake bit Wu Yanji's leg lightly, and there was not much blood. How can they pretend to be so serious? People from the Ministry of Military Affairs are useless, so fast I was repelled. If it were me, even if he was about to die, I would have to fight in and settle the account with them first!"
When Du Juan heard it clearly, he stared at her again. "How do you know that Prince Wei's son was just bitten by a water snake?"
"Oh, you don't know this yet!" Gu Caiwei realized what happened on the mountain today.
After Du Juan heard this, his eyes instantly became more gloomy.
"You actually still have the secret grilled fish ingredients in your hand that you haven't brought out for me to taste."
Isn't this the point?The point she was talking to him was obviously that the Wu brothers were greedy for life and afraid of death, and they are still pretending to be crazy here!What's more, what she gave those brothers was burnt fish that even Hei Feng refused to eat. She just wanted to humiliate them, okay?
With so many important points, why couldn't he grasp any of them, but why did he focus on this point?
Gu Caiwei was so helpless.
"Don't you have a sweet tooth? No matter how delicious my grilled fish is, it doesn't make much difference to you. If this is the case, why should I waste things? Those seasonings are so precious, I don't give up more Let it go, I plan to save up and eat for a while longer!"
Du Juan stared at her quietly for a long time.
Gu Caiwei was so scared, she stood up on tiptoe and hugged his neck helplessly: "Okay, okay, I'll go and roast two head offices for you later, right? Not only grilled fish for you , I’ll make you longan lotus seed tea, you’re not angry anymore, huh?”
Only then did Du Juanqing speak: "We'll talk about it when you're done."
Gu Caiwei rolled her eyes speechlessly.
As for the matter that the Wu brothers took the credit of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households?Of course they didn't care too much.
It was originally something that had little to do with them, but that group of people bit their own way, so of course they wouldn't just meddle in it when they were full and had nothing to do.They only need to watch the excitement from the sidelines, and then fan the flames a little when necessary, that's enough.
Anyway, Gu Caiwei's eyes can see clearly - after this incident, the attitude of the people in the military department of the Ministry of household affairs towards Wu Chongxun and his brothers cooled down a lot.
Of course the Wu Chongxun brothers also knew about it, but they didn't care.At any rate, they have already reaped definite benefits through this matter. Not only the Queen over Chang'an City received the first-hand news, but praised them vigorously and rewarded their families.Looking at the news from the family in Chang'an, even Her Majesty the Empress has prepared generous rewards for them!
They get rich and famous, so what about sacrificing a little relationship?Anyway, with the power of the Wu family, there are many people who want to curry favor with them, there is no shortage of these few!
However, immediately afterward, when another group of swordsmiths recruited by the Wu family arrived, and they started to grab the original iron, the people from the military department suddenly stood up to stop them, and the people from the household department stood firmly in the military department. there.The officials of the two departments worked together to fight against the samurai family, and several battles broke out between the two sides on the iron mine side.
Afterwards, the two parties in the Hou Mansion hardly spoke.
For such a good show, Gu Caiwei and the others are naturally happy to see it come to fruition - the surname Wu puts all his mind on confronting the people from the Ministry of Household and Military Department, so naturally he has no intention to trouble them.
Even, as an unrelated third party, Du Juanqing had to stand up and coordinate every time something happened.This is another good opportunity for him to establish his prestige.
Such killing two birds with one stone, they really enjoyed watching it.
However, what she didn't expect was that in fact, in private, the two brothers of the Wu family never let her go!
That's right, he didn't let her go, and it didn't mean he didn't let Du Juanqing go.
This time, their people were once again blocked by the Ministry of Military Affairs and the Ministry of Finance. After the subordinates came back to report, both of them turned cold.
"This is already the fifth time!" Wu Yanji roared, "Brother, I think that group of people really ate their hearts and leopards. Now watching their people dig up so many good things in the mine, It was directly tempered and cast on the spot, and then the things were transported away by trucks. Those who saw it were credited by a large number of people. But what about our people? They have been stopped by them all the time, and we can only wait for them to choose each time. After that, go in and pick up what they left, what do they think of us? We are the ones who came to inspect the iron ore under the order of Her Majesty the Queen!"
"As a result, we can't see how many things are produced in the iron mine, and how many things are practiced. We can only hear a few figures from them verbally every day. What's the matter? And that Marquis of Changning! He is clearly with that group of people! They joined hands to stop us!"
The more he talked, the angrier he became, and he really wished he could rush to find someone from the Ministry of Household and Military Department to discuss the theory.
Wu Chongxun raised his eyebrows. "They suffered a loss under our hands, so they are taking revenge on us now."
"Of course I know this, but they have done too much! They are planning to eat alone, and there is nothing left for us!" Wu Yanji called again.
In fact, when they collected relevant information about the mine and sent it back to Chang'an quickly, they actually ate alone.Moreover, they still take all the fruits of other people's labor as their own, completely cutting off the way of others.Nowadays, the people in the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of War still eat alone by their own ability!Wu Chongxun thought to himself.
Still, it was one thing to think so, but he didn't feel like he had done anything wrong before.Of course, what those people are doing now is definitely a big mistake in his eyes!
That's right, if they are willing to report the information that those people have collected so hard, then they still recognize their actions and give them face!But now other people deal with them like this in turn... Huh, that's why those people didn't give them face!
Wu Chongxun snorted coldly. "If they don't give, they won't give. Anyway, our focus is not on that at the moment. Let those people continue to fight with them now, and let them think that we are really focused on robbing iron ore. But in fact..."
The two brothers immediately looked at each other and smiled again.
Wu Yanji also breathed a sigh of relief. "This group of people certainly wouldn't have thought that our original intention was not to snatch this mineral. After all, the existence of this iron mine has long been known. Even if we really want to snatch it, we won't be able to snatch much. It will cause public outrage. This time we came to Yongxing County only to find out if there are iron mines in other hills."
As early as the beginning of the year, when Princess Taiping sent people to Jingzhou Road to look for iron ore, their people followed.Then, Princess Taiping occupied the small iron mine, and then began to show off her might, without knowing that she would continue to search for other mines.After all, this place was a place where bronze and iron ore were produced in ancient times, but gradually there were not many discoveries, and this place became more and more desolate.
But now, since Princess Taiping was able to find the iron ore, and Du Junqing discovered such a large iron ore in his own fief, it means that there must be other iron ore here that have not been discovered.Therefore, the task that Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi entrusted to their sons was to get as much of the ready-made Skymine resources as possible.But at the same time, they have to find other iron ore as soon as possible, so that they can become another big backer for their Wu family!
Therefore, the two of them have been running into the mountains and forests every day, under the pretense that they are traveling in the mountains and rivers, but in fact they are secretly leading people to detect the iron content in these mountains.
It was precisely because of this that even though they had been squeezed out by Du Juanqing and the people from the Military Department of the Household Department, they were not in a hurry in their hearts, they were just pretending on the surface.
The two were talking, and the servant girl had already brought food for them to enjoy.
There is still a grilled fish in today's meal.Seeing that the fish was golden in color and fragrant, the pulse condition was almost exactly the same as the one Gu Caiwei saw on the mountain that day.
Seeing this, Wu Yanji swallowed quickly, grabbed it and took a big bite.
But then--
bah bah bah!
He quickly spit out the mouthful of fish. "It's unpalatable! Who made this fish? Drag that cook out and kick him out!"
"My lord, this is already the No. 16 cook." The servant reminded him in embarrassment.
Wu Yanji raised his eyebrows. "There are all No. 16?"
Wu Chongxun was also very surprised. "I vaguely remember that there are more than ten. But sixteen... These sixteen cooks all said that they are the best at grilling fish, but this is what they baked? I can see it, but as long as I eat it in my mouth, it makes me want to vomit!"
"Isn't it?" Concubine Ji on the side also echoed in a low voice, "There are so many cooks who cook for a living, and the things they cook are not as good as a little lady from the countryside. Are they ashamed?"
Wu Chongxun frowned again.
He looked down at the grilled fish in front of him, his eyes gradually became darker.
"Is it really a human problem?" He muttered to himself, "So, if you want to taste the taste of that day, you can only find her again? But she...she seems to be a person who is harder to deal with than Marquis Changning! "
"Brother, don't worry, we have power, power, talent and good looks. How many little ladies in Chang'an City were crying and shouting to send us into our arms. Which one of them has not been satisfied by us? Now she is no more than It's because I haven't seen our benefits, so I really thought that a mere Marquis of Changning is the ultimate among men, and then I identified him with all my heart. Now we just need to find an opportunity to let him taste our benefits, so that she will be addicted to it and can't stop By then, what is Marquis Changning? She will definitely not even recognize her! At that time, won't she do whatever we want her to do?" Wu Yanji said quickly.
"That's what I said. But... when will the opportunity come?" Wu Chongxun only asked.
Wu Yanji choked again for an instant. "This... just wait and see! I don't believe it, there will always be an iron bucket on their side!"
Sure enough, what they expected was right, and the opportunity came soon.
Less than half a month after the two brothers finished their discussion, another person came to the gate of Changning Hou Mansion in Yongxing County.
This man was not very tall and strong, on the contrary, he had delicate features, and his face was very gentle.If it weren't for his overly dark skin and the bamboo basket full of blacksmithing tools on his back, no one else would associate him with the swordsmith.
However, it was this person who stood at the door of the Hou's mansion and said to the porter word by word: "Please pass the message to the little lady and tell her that Fufengzi has arrived."
The concierge looked dazed.
But recently, because the news of a high-quality iron mine in Yongxing County has spread, swordsmiths from all over the world have rushed here. Every day, many people come to ask for an interview, so the concierge has already seen a lot.He quickly nodded: "You are looking for our Lord Hou, right? Just wait here, and I will report to Lord Hou right away!"
"I'm not looking for the Marquis of Changning, I'm looking for the young lady." Unexpectedly, this person named Fufengzi corrected him solemnly.
Is this person sick?There is no such thing as a little lady in their house, okay?
The concierge secretly slandered, but still nodded in agreement indiscriminately, and hurried back to report to Du Juanqing.
It just so happened that Du Juanqing didn't go to the mine today.Therefore, the concierge directly informed him of the news, and he was immediately overjoyed: "He really said he is Fufengzi?"
"Back to Lord Hou, that's right! Moreover, this man told me that he came to find the young lady, not you, the young lady asked him several times and he didn't change his words, and he didn't know what was going on with him. ’ replied the porter.
Du Juanqing's eyes darkened for an instant.
"The Marquis knows. Go and invite him in. I'll see him in a while."
"Yes." The concierge quickly agreed and went out.
Du Junqing called Du Ren to invite Gu Caiwei over.
Soon Gu Caiwei ran over happily.
"Is it true that brother Fang is here?" She hurriedly asked when she came to him.
This Fufengzi was obviously Ou Shenzi's junior apprentice, the junior apprentice of the master swordsmith Yang Mingzi. Ou Shenzi had mentioned this name to them countless times before.So when Du Juanqing heard what the concierge said today, he remembered it.
Du Juan nodded. "That's what he calls himself. It's just that I haven't seen Fufengzi, and Ou Shenzi is still at the mine and hasn't come back, so now you have to go and see it, and decide whether it's true or not."
"It's easy, I'll go with you!" Gu Caiwei nodded quickly.
After the words fell, the two of them went to the front hall together.
At this time the young man has come in.However, he didn't take off the bamboo basket on his back, but carried the heavy bamboo basket on his back like this, his figure was tall and straight like a green pine.
"That's right, it's him!" Gu Caiwei nodded quickly when she saw it.Then she wanted to go over and say hello to someone.
But Du Juanqing grabbed her tightly. "I go first."
"Okay!" Gu Caiwei nodded helplessly.
Then, I saw Du Juanqing striding over. "May I ask that you are Yang Mingzi's little apprentice Fufengzi?"
The young man turned to face him. "Exactly."
Seeing this too young face in front of him, Du Juanqing frowned slightly, and there was a trace of suspicion in his eyes.
Fufengzi saw it in his eyes, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly. "Marquis Changning thinks I'm too young to be Yang Mingzi's apprentice?"
"Indeed." Du Juan nodded.
Fufengzi smiled lightly immediately. "It seems that she didn't explain the matter clearly to you."
she?
Du Juanqing frowned slightly, and he immediately turned to look at Gu Caiwei.
Gu Caiwei had already stepped forward on her own initiative.
Immediately afterwards, Fufengzi's eyes also fell on her.Then, Du Juan clearly noticed that his eyes had darkened.
Gu Caiwei waved at him. "Brother Fang, you don't have to doubt it, it's me."
"Little lady? Awei?" Fufengzi called out cautiously.
Gu Caiwei nodded. "it's me."
"How did you become like this!" Fufengzi shouted immediately.
Don't look at this man's gentle appearance, but his sudden shout was so breathless that the huge sound waves he brought shook everything in the huge hall violently.
Not to mention the people in this house.If Du Juanqing was not careful, he shook back and forth several times.
Gu Caiwei was already prepared, so she just smiled helplessly. "I have become like this. What can I do? But, no matter what, I am still me. You will know this brother later."
"Of course I know it's you, but you look like this..." Fufengzi's face became more and more gloomy.
He stared at Gu Caiwei for a long time, and then looked at Du Juanqing again, his scrutiny made Du Juanqing feel a little uncomfortable.
But this person looked him up and down several times in a daze, and then turned to look at Gu Caiwei again. "I see."
What did he understand?Du Juanqing's heart beat wildly for no reason, and a bad feeling leaped into his heart.
"It's because of this that you followed him, right? This is not what you want at all, you are just forced to adapt to reality, isn't it?" Fu Fengzi immediately asked again.
Gu Caiwei frowned. "In the beginning you could say that. Only now—"
"I see." But Fufengzi didn't listen to her redundant explanation at all, and he asked directly, "How long do you plan to stay here? When will you reconcile?"
Du Juan immediately buzzed in his head.
"We don't get along!" He shouted loudly, holding Gu Caiwei's hand tightly, "We are husband and wife, and we live a good life now, why should we get along? Besides, you are an outsider, what qualifications do you have?" Let us make peace?"
"Am I an outsider?" Fu Fengzi looked at Gu Caiwei coldly.
Gu Caiwei couldn't help laughing dryly again.
"That...Brother Fang is really not an outsider." She whispered to Du Juanqing.
Du Juan's heart sank heavily for an instant. "It's not an outsider, so who is he?"
"He is my elder brother!" Gu Caiwei said hastily, "My grandfather and his old man have been friends for many years—oh yes, his old man is Yang Mingzi. Yang Mingzi lost his son in middle age, and his son left one at that time. The son who is still in his infancy is the elder brother of the Fang family. So the elder brother of the Fang family is much younger than Ou Shenzi and the others, but his sword-making skills are not worse than Ou Shenzi and the others. Even It can be said that he is even better than them! After all, he has received the true biography of Yang Mingzi!"
"I'm not just her elder brother." But immediately, Fu Fengzi said coldly again.
"Brother!" Upon hearing this, Gu Caiwei's expression changed, and she quickly whispered.
But Du Juanqing spoke again. "Let him talk. I also want to know, how much relationship do you still have?"
While speaking, his gloomy gaze had already fixed on Fufengzi.
Fufengzi is naturally not a shy person.His fixed eyes also fell on Du Juanqing, and the two men exchanged eyes, and they had already fought thousands of times in the blink of an eye.
"Actually, from the very beginning, I, Ah Weng, just wanted to make her my wife. So, I can be said to be her fiancé." Fufengzi said.
Gu Caiwei's eyes suddenly went dark, and she was unable to cover her face.
It's over, it's over, this guy really said so!
Du Junqing's face darkened, and he heard Fu Fengzi say again: "It's just that the surname Chen is quick, and he actually made the marriage first. I, Aunt, regretted it when I found out. I made an agreement with Gao Aunt then. If she If the marriage with Chen can't be done, then she has to marry me! So, since she has severed ties with Chen, she should marry me."
"But she is clearly the wife that my Ming Media is marrying back home. Everything between us is reasonable and legal. Now we can only call you brother because of the relationship between the elders. What kind of marriage contract is just a sentence from the elders Just kidding, you better forget it!" Du Juan said coldly.
Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Fu Fengzi smiled coldly. "I can't forget this kind of thing if I want to. Besides, if I can forget, can others forget?"
Du Juanqing's heart tightened again. "What do you mean by that?"
"It seems that she really hid a lot of things and didn't tell you!" Fu Fengzi suddenly smiled happily.
Gu Caiwei covered her face and screamed. "Brother Fang, stop talking, there's nothing to say..."
"No, this must be made clear. Since he wants to rob you from us, he should be prepared." Fu Fengzi said.
with them?Rob?
Du Junqing spoke heavily. "Yes, let him go on, I'm ready."
"Are you really ready?" Fu Fengzi raised his eyebrows, "Okay, I'll continue talking—Actually, I wasn't the only one who fell in love with her at the beginning, but I, A Weng, relied on the relationship between me and Gao A Weng. It’s all about the relationship between her life and death. After me, there are many people waiting in line for her to break off her engagement with Chen! If you really want to rob her, I’ll figure it out...then you No matter what, we have to wait until after number [-]."
Du Juanqing's face turned ashen instantly.
Gu Caiwei was about to cry. "Brother Fang, don't be alarmist, okay? In fact, there are not so many people. Many people are just joking, and few are serious, okay?"
"How many are there?" Du Juanqing immediately asked.
Gu Caiwei was speechless.
Fufengzi answered him very kindly: "If you don't say anything, it's a slap in the face. If you don't believe me, I can report their names one by one, and I can guarantee that Awei can't deny it. Awei, would you like to let me try?"
"It's better not to!" Gu Caiwei wanted to cry but had no tears.
"What about you? Do you want to listen?" Fu Fengzi looked at Du Juanqing again, with a hint of provocation in his eyes.
At this time, Du Juanqing's eyes had turned into two cold pools, and his eyes seemed to have been soaked in ice for thousands of years, extremely cold and stern.
"No need." He said word by word, "She is my wife, this is a well-known fact."
"It's not a big deal if you get married. It's not a big deal. We had always planned that after she got married with Chen, she would definitely not be able to stand that pious guy, and then she would kick him away and marry her again. Us." Fufengzi said.
Hearing this, Du Juanqing suddenly thought of Gu Caiwei's life-and-death plans to leave the Hou's Mansion.Even, the moment she just woke up, what he begged was to let him divorce her!
If he had really given her a divorce letter at that time, would she really marry this man later?
Although it's all gone, but thinking about it now, Du Juanqing's heart still can't help but be overwhelmed.
"Impossible." He said coldly, and then pulled Gu Caiwei, "If Senior Fufengzi came to our Yongxing County to seek opportunities to show off his talents, then you just stay, I won't be able to eat, wear and live Treat you badly. But if you are not... then please go out and turn right, go straight out of the city and you will be there for a mile, so you don’t have to leave!”
After the words fell, both he and Gu Caiwei had disappeared.
Seeing this, Fu Fengzi didn't chase after him, but just stood still, seeing the figures of these two people disappear out of sight, and then slowly lowered his face.
Du Ren also had a headache at this time.
How did he know that he accompanied Lord Hou to inspect this Fufengzi, but he heard such gossip?
And seeing his wife's reaction, he was sure that what Fufengzi said was absolutely true.Hou Ye naturally also found out, so he was angry.I don't know how this will end next!
And this person in front of me.He had already gotten into such a fight with Lord Hou just now, yet he still hasn't left?
He could only bite the bullet and walk forward. "Fufengzi, right? Just now, Master Hou has made the two choices clear, you can choose yourself!"
"I'll choose the first one." Fufengzi said immediately, and walked back with the basket on his back, "Where is my room? Have you cleaned it up yet? However, since it was Marquis Changning who wanted me to come over to help, then Presumably you have already prepared the things to entertain me."
Did he really stay?
Du Ren suddenly had a headache.
It's over, it's over, the Hou Mansion will definitely be lively!
indeed.
Du Juanqing was almost blown away by the series of news that Fufengzi told him!
Pulling Gu Caiwei back into the room, he didn't even have time to close the door, so he just stared at her with a sullen face, without uttering a word for a long time.
Gu Caiwei felt uncomfortable at the sight.
"Well, don't listen to his nonsense. In fact, I really only treat him as an elder brother. The reason why my grandfather agreed to Yang Mingzi's ridiculous request at the beginning was just because he couldn't resist his begging. As for the later Those people, they are all just watching the excitement, they don't think it's a big deal, they all follow suit, and they can't take it seriously!"
"Really?" Du Juan said coolly, "Then they dragged you to be engaged, did they give you a token?"
"...Give it." Gu Caiwei lowered her head lower and lower.
"Then you still say it's not true? They are clearly sincere!" Du Juan roared.
Gu Caiwei was so frightened by the raging anger coming from him.
"But I didn't admit it! I didn't intend to mess with them either."
She wanted to explain, but she heard a bang.
She looked up, only to find that Du Juanqing had already slammed the door and left in anger!
(End of this chapter)
Anyway, there were no outsiders here, they were scared by the snake and ran down the mountain. They had already seen such scandals, so what's the big deal about eating two more burnt fish?
Anyway, they had already stumbled several times in front of Du Juanqing, and they were already ashamed.Therefore, it doesn't matter how low the lower limit is now.
Of course - the premise is that this group of people don't make any noise after they go back.Otherwise, he has a way to shut them up!
With such thoughts in his heart, Wu Chongxun gradually regained his composure.
Wu Yanji and the others were already so hungry that their chests pressed against their backs.This grilled fish is actually burnt on one side, but the other side is intact.Therefore, although the paste smell is overflowing, there is also a tantalizing fragrance mixed in the paste smell.Especially when the fish is brought to you, the aroma is even more obvious.
For a group of tired and hungry people, what is more important than the food delivered to them?
Therefore, even though Wu Chongxun and Wu Yanji were both sullen.But when the concubines removed the mushy side and picked out the intact side and brought it to them, they still reluctantly took it and ate it.
And this sip - "Wow, it smells so good!"
Those who were still full of displeasure just now were amazed by the deliciousness that went into their stomachs.Even, this delicacy is much more delicious than anything made by Gu Caiwei that they have eaten before!
Immediately, they lost their anger, and hurriedly ate up half of the fish they got.
This is not enough.After eating one piece, they immediately signaled Concubine Ji to bring the others as well.
Pity these beauties, they have dragged their delicate bodies up the mountain for a long time, and they are so tired that their hands and feet are weak and their stomachs are hungry.But even so, they still had to serve Wu Yanji well first.
Seeing that they were not happy to eat the burnt fish, they thought they could eat more!Anyway, they usually ate the leftovers from the two brothers, so they didn't object to Gu Caiwei throwing the fish they didn't want to them.
As a result, who would have thought...
Although they were full of complaints, they obediently picked off the whole side of the remaining fish and sent them over.
The Wu Chongxun brothers were not too polite, so they all took them and ate them up!
In the end, they ate until their stomachs were full, but they didn't stop.If it wasn't for the burnt side, they probably wouldn't shut up.
Then, the beauties and the guards were able to hold the burnt half of the fish that they didn't want and gnawed it in small bites.
Seeing this scene, Gu Caiwei couldn't help shaking her head and whispering. "Is this the so-called lord of the Wu family who loves the fragrance and cherishes the jade? I have seen with my own eyes how they love the fragrance and cherish the jade."
Gu Tianyuan was more direct, he whispered: "The two of them are so shameless. They are two big men, but they know that they enjoy themselves, and they don't care about other people's lives at all. This kind of people will definitely end badly in the future !"
Gu Caiwei sighed lightly. "It's all their own business. They are willing to do it themselves. Why do we care so much?"
As we speak, the freshly grilled fish can be considered cooked.This time, the fish was grilled until golden on both sides. Take a bite, you will feel crispy in the mouth, but the fish inside is tender and elastic.As expected of a fish grown in a mountain spring, this fish has a sweet taste of spring water, and the fish is firm and tender, with a bit of chewiness.
Everyone on their side shared one piece, and Gu Tianyuan and Du Yi happily ate.
Until he finished eating all the fish, Du Yi didn't even have time to wipe the oil off his mouth, so he looked at Gu Caiwei with wide eyes: "Why is this fish so delicious? It's better than before when we were in the capital and in Xuchang Ou Shenzi's little girl." The food on the island is delicious!"
"That's because I used my secret grilled fish ingredients today!" Gu Caiwei said with a smile, "This is the most suitable thing for barbecue that I collected from all over the country. After proper processing, it is mixed in a certain proportion. Together. Sprinkle it on the things you want to bake every time before cooking, and the aroma will overflow after a little roasting, which can maximize the freshness of the fish."
"Then why didn't you bring it out for us to eat?" Du Yi hurriedly asked.
Gu Caiwei smiled. "People have to have some unique skills, don't they? Besides, there are so few seasonings, and I only have so much here. I usually just close the door and eat a little secretly, and no one else will give it to me. I am also in a good mood today. , I just thought about sharing it. Who knows..."
Just let them meet Wu Yanji and the others who were scared out of their wits by the snake, wasting so much of her hard-earned condiments!
When Du Yi and the others heard this, they immediately stared at Wu Chongxun and his group in unison.
Wu Chongxun's expressions immediately changed slightly.
However, although they were full, they still couldn't help smacking their lips and swallowing several mouthfuls of saliva while watching Gu Caiwei and the others feasting on the perfectly grilled fish in front of them.
In the end, Wu Chongxun took the initiative to say: "Mrs. Changning Hou, how do you sell this seasoning? We bought it!"
"Not for sale." Gu Caiwei immediately refused.
But Wu Yanji continued as if he didn't hear it, "How much is it, you set a price, we will give you whatever you want!"
"My elder sister said that this small bottle of condiment was saved by him after traveling all over the mountains and rivers of my Great Zhou Dynasty with great difficulty. It is a priceless treasure and is not for sale!" Gu Tianyuan said hastily, "What do you think? If you want to eat, go back and find someone to make it yourself, why do you have to ask someone else to buy it? Do you Wu family have nothing else to sell except money?"
"They are!" Du Yi nodded hastily.
Both Wu Chongxun gritted their teeth angrily.
"Mrs. Changninghou, even though we have been very respectful to your family all this way, don't you think that we will be flattered if we take a step back. You really think you are amazing! We just want to make money with harmony and just want to make money as soon as possible." Handle the matter here properly so that Her Majesty the Queen can give an explanation. But this does not mean that we are afraid of you!" Wu Yanji growled unbearably.
Gu Caiwei blinked. "So you are not afraid of us?"
Wu Yanji choked, and he quickly growled again. "Don't forget, we are the Wu Family! Her Majesty the Empress is my aunt!"
"Understood. But apart from Her Majesty, what else can you do to scare us?" Gu Caiwei only asked.
Wu Yanji was speechless again.
Gu Caiwei smiled triumphantly. "However, we have a lot now! For example...if you don't pay attention, I will put some medicine in your tea to keep you from lifting, then you will only be able to see so many things in front of you in the next few days." The beauty can't move, I wonder if you want to try again?"
In no mood!Absolutely not!
The memory of those more than two months is definitely a nightmare for them that cannot be eradicated. Until now, they occasionally dream that they have returned to that time again, and then wake up from their sleep, sweating profusely and terrified.They had to quickly bring a concubine Ji and prove with practical actions that their little brother was still intact, so that they could rest assured.
It can be said that the impact of this incident on them is immeasurable, at least now they still feel trembling when they think about it.
Now that Gu Caiwei brought up the old matter again, they suddenly trembled again, almost crying again.
Wu Chongxun managed to stabilize himself, and then hurriedly cupped his hands: "Thanks to Mrs. Changning Hou for saving us from danger today, and thank you for giving us grilled fish to feed our hunger. We brothers and I will always keep your love in mind. Good luck to repay you. But now, my younger brother still has an injury in his leg, so we won't disturb you any more. We'll go back first!"
After all, the group of them didn't dare to delay for a moment, and left in a hurry.
When the people walked away, Gu Tianyuan couldn't help but said: "What he said has a chance to turn around, should it mean that he has no chance?"
"That's for sure." Gu Caiwei nodded, "I've already threatened them like this, why do they hate me in their hearts! Repay me? People surnamed Wu are not such kind-hearted people."
But after she finished speaking, she also put the matter behind her. "Forget about these people, let's continue playing our game!"
"Yeah!"
The two little guys also nodded immediately, and the group of people began to eat, drink and play happily again.
They played and played on the mountain until the afternoon, and then they returned with a big bucket of fish and a few boxes of fruit.
At this time Du Juanqing had already returned.He looked at Gu Caiwei who was smiling heartlessly, his eyes darkened slightly.
When Gu Caiwei saw this, she immediately smiled. "What's the matter? What happened to the iron mine?"
"No." Du Juan shook his head, "However, news came from Chang'an again today. Her Majesty the Queen knew that the iron ore was of good quality. She was very happy, so she specially ordered the Ministry of Households to allocate 100 million yuan for us to spend. Even Her Majesty also agreed. People have been ordered to go to various places to recruit civilians, so that these high-quality iron ore can be excavated as soon as possible for military supplies."
Gu Caiwei immediately heard the problem.
"How could it be so fast? And shouldn't those things be led by the Ministry of War and Accounts? Why are they all taken care of by Her Majesty the Queen now?"
Although in the end things will definitely be delegated to lower ministries for specific operations.However, judging from the news that has been fed back now, there is something strange here.
"If nothing else happens, it should be the Wu family who cut off the beard." Du Juan said calmly.
Gu Caiwei suddenly realized.
"If you want to put it that way, then this matter can be explained. Now only the Wu family has the ability to use the secret passage in the post station to pass the news to Chang'an, and it is directly passed to Her Majesty the Queen. It's just that ..."
She couldn't help shaking her head again. "Aren't they in the same group as the people from the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Finance? Then why are they taking credit for it now? According to the normal procedure, the credit for them will not be less!"
"But they are not satisfied yet. They want more." Du Jun said coldly, "Even, their ultimate goal is not credit at all, but this iron mine."
Gu Caiwei's heartbeat accelerated a few beats immediately.
"Well, this is indeed something that the Wu family can do. But the people in the Ministry of Household and Military Affairs recognize it like this? They can't be so cowardly, right?"
Although they have been sycophanting Wu's ass all the time, but now Wu has come directly to take credit for them!And it's still such a big credit, this matter is absolutely unbearable.
"Of course not. They came to the King of Gaoyang County after they heard the news today, but the King of Gaoyang County used the excuse that Prince Wei's son was bitten by a snake and needed to rest in bed, so he asked someone to drive them out. Wu just left without seeing him." Du Juanqing said again.
Gu Caiwei sprayed immediately.
"They are really shameless! Just a water snake bit Wu Yanji's leg lightly, and there was not much blood. How can they pretend to be so serious? People from the Ministry of Military Affairs are useless, so fast I was repelled. If it were me, even if he was about to die, I would have to fight in and settle the account with them first!"
When Du Juan heard it clearly, he stared at her again. "How do you know that Prince Wei's son was just bitten by a water snake?"
"Oh, you don't know this yet!" Gu Caiwei realized what happened on the mountain today.
After Du Juan heard this, his eyes instantly became more gloomy.
"You actually still have the secret grilled fish ingredients in your hand that you haven't brought out for me to taste."
Isn't this the point?The point she was talking to him was obviously that the Wu brothers were greedy for life and afraid of death, and they are still pretending to be crazy here!What's more, what she gave those brothers was burnt fish that even Hei Feng refused to eat. She just wanted to humiliate them, okay?
With so many important points, why couldn't he grasp any of them, but why did he focus on this point?
Gu Caiwei was so helpless.
"Don't you have a sweet tooth? No matter how delicious my grilled fish is, it doesn't make much difference to you. If this is the case, why should I waste things? Those seasonings are so precious, I don't give up more Let it go, I plan to save up and eat for a while longer!"
Du Juan stared at her quietly for a long time.
Gu Caiwei was so scared, she stood up on tiptoe and hugged his neck helplessly: "Okay, okay, I'll go and roast two head offices for you later, right? Not only grilled fish for you , I’ll make you longan lotus seed tea, you’re not angry anymore, huh?”
Only then did Du Juanqing speak: "We'll talk about it when you're done."
Gu Caiwei rolled her eyes speechlessly.
As for the matter that the Wu brothers took the credit of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households?Of course they didn't care too much.
It was originally something that had little to do with them, but that group of people bit their own way, so of course they wouldn't just meddle in it when they were full and had nothing to do.They only need to watch the excitement from the sidelines, and then fan the flames a little when necessary, that's enough.
Anyway, Gu Caiwei's eyes can see clearly - after this incident, the attitude of the people in the military department of the Ministry of household affairs towards Wu Chongxun and his brothers cooled down a lot.
Of course the Wu Chongxun brothers also knew about it, but they didn't care.At any rate, they have already reaped definite benefits through this matter. Not only the Queen over Chang'an City received the first-hand news, but praised them vigorously and rewarded their families.Looking at the news from the family in Chang'an, even Her Majesty the Empress has prepared generous rewards for them!
They get rich and famous, so what about sacrificing a little relationship?Anyway, with the power of the Wu family, there are many people who want to curry favor with them, there is no shortage of these few!
However, immediately afterward, when another group of swordsmiths recruited by the Wu family arrived, and they started to grab the original iron, the people from the military department suddenly stood up to stop them, and the people from the household department stood firmly in the military department. there.The officials of the two departments worked together to fight against the samurai family, and several battles broke out between the two sides on the iron mine side.
Afterwards, the two parties in the Hou Mansion hardly spoke.
For such a good show, Gu Caiwei and the others are naturally happy to see it come to fruition - the surname Wu puts all his mind on confronting the people from the Ministry of Household and Military Department, so naturally he has no intention to trouble them.
Even, as an unrelated third party, Du Juanqing had to stand up and coordinate every time something happened.This is another good opportunity for him to establish his prestige.
Such killing two birds with one stone, they really enjoyed watching it.
However, what she didn't expect was that in fact, in private, the two brothers of the Wu family never let her go!
That's right, he didn't let her go, and it didn't mean he didn't let Du Juanqing go.
This time, their people were once again blocked by the Ministry of Military Affairs and the Ministry of Finance. After the subordinates came back to report, both of them turned cold.
"This is already the fifth time!" Wu Yanji roared, "Brother, I think that group of people really ate their hearts and leopards. Now watching their people dig up so many good things in the mine, It was directly tempered and cast on the spot, and then the things were transported away by trucks. Those who saw it were credited by a large number of people. But what about our people? They have been stopped by them all the time, and we can only wait for them to choose each time. After that, go in and pick up what they left, what do they think of us? We are the ones who came to inspect the iron ore under the order of Her Majesty the Queen!"
"As a result, we can't see how many things are produced in the iron mine, and how many things are practiced. We can only hear a few figures from them verbally every day. What's the matter? And that Marquis of Changning! He is clearly with that group of people! They joined hands to stop us!"
The more he talked, the angrier he became, and he really wished he could rush to find someone from the Ministry of Household and Military Department to discuss the theory.
Wu Chongxun raised his eyebrows. "They suffered a loss under our hands, so they are taking revenge on us now."
"Of course I know this, but they have done too much! They are planning to eat alone, and there is nothing left for us!" Wu Yanji called again.
In fact, when they collected relevant information about the mine and sent it back to Chang'an quickly, they actually ate alone.Moreover, they still take all the fruits of other people's labor as their own, completely cutting off the way of others.Nowadays, the people in the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of War still eat alone by their own ability!Wu Chongxun thought to himself.
Still, it was one thing to think so, but he didn't feel like he had done anything wrong before.Of course, what those people are doing now is definitely a big mistake in his eyes!
That's right, if they are willing to report the information that those people have collected so hard, then they still recognize their actions and give them face!But now other people deal with them like this in turn... Huh, that's why those people didn't give them face!
Wu Chongxun snorted coldly. "If they don't give, they won't give. Anyway, our focus is not on that at the moment. Let those people continue to fight with them now, and let them think that we are really focused on robbing iron ore. But in fact..."
The two brothers immediately looked at each other and smiled again.
Wu Yanji also breathed a sigh of relief. "This group of people certainly wouldn't have thought that our original intention was not to snatch this mineral. After all, the existence of this iron mine has long been known. Even if we really want to snatch it, we won't be able to snatch much. It will cause public outrage. This time we came to Yongxing County only to find out if there are iron mines in other hills."
As early as the beginning of the year, when Princess Taiping sent people to Jingzhou Road to look for iron ore, their people followed.Then, Princess Taiping occupied the small iron mine, and then began to show off her might, without knowing that she would continue to search for other mines.After all, this place was a place where bronze and iron ore were produced in ancient times, but gradually there were not many discoveries, and this place became more and more desolate.
But now, since Princess Taiping was able to find the iron ore, and Du Junqing discovered such a large iron ore in his own fief, it means that there must be other iron ore here that have not been discovered.Therefore, the task that Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi entrusted to their sons was to get as much of the ready-made Skymine resources as possible.But at the same time, they have to find other iron ore as soon as possible, so that they can become another big backer for their Wu family!
Therefore, the two of them have been running into the mountains and forests every day, under the pretense that they are traveling in the mountains and rivers, but in fact they are secretly leading people to detect the iron content in these mountains.
It was precisely because of this that even though they had been squeezed out by Du Juanqing and the people from the Military Department of the Household Department, they were not in a hurry in their hearts, they were just pretending on the surface.
The two were talking, and the servant girl had already brought food for them to enjoy.
There is still a grilled fish in today's meal.Seeing that the fish was golden in color and fragrant, the pulse condition was almost exactly the same as the one Gu Caiwei saw on the mountain that day.
Seeing this, Wu Yanji swallowed quickly, grabbed it and took a big bite.
But then--
bah bah bah!
He quickly spit out the mouthful of fish. "It's unpalatable! Who made this fish? Drag that cook out and kick him out!"
"My lord, this is already the No. 16 cook." The servant reminded him in embarrassment.
Wu Yanji raised his eyebrows. "There are all No. 16?"
Wu Chongxun was also very surprised. "I vaguely remember that there are more than ten. But sixteen... These sixteen cooks all said that they are the best at grilling fish, but this is what they baked? I can see it, but as long as I eat it in my mouth, it makes me want to vomit!"
"Isn't it?" Concubine Ji on the side also echoed in a low voice, "There are so many cooks who cook for a living, and the things they cook are not as good as a little lady from the countryside. Are they ashamed?"
Wu Chongxun frowned again.
He looked down at the grilled fish in front of him, his eyes gradually became darker.
"Is it really a human problem?" He muttered to himself, "So, if you want to taste the taste of that day, you can only find her again? But she...she seems to be a person who is harder to deal with than Marquis Changning! "
"Brother, don't worry, we have power, power, talent and good looks. How many little ladies in Chang'an City were crying and shouting to send us into our arms. Which one of them has not been satisfied by us? Now she is no more than It's because I haven't seen our benefits, so I really thought that a mere Marquis of Changning is the ultimate among men, and then I identified him with all my heart. Now we just need to find an opportunity to let him taste our benefits, so that she will be addicted to it and can't stop By then, what is Marquis Changning? She will definitely not even recognize her! At that time, won't she do whatever we want her to do?" Wu Yanji said quickly.
"That's what I said. But... when will the opportunity come?" Wu Chongxun only asked.
Wu Yanji choked again for an instant. "This... just wait and see! I don't believe it, there will always be an iron bucket on their side!"
Sure enough, what they expected was right, and the opportunity came soon.
Less than half a month after the two brothers finished their discussion, another person came to the gate of Changning Hou Mansion in Yongxing County.
This man was not very tall and strong, on the contrary, he had delicate features, and his face was very gentle.If it weren't for his overly dark skin and the bamboo basket full of blacksmithing tools on his back, no one else would associate him with the swordsmith.
However, it was this person who stood at the door of the Hou's mansion and said to the porter word by word: "Please pass the message to the little lady and tell her that Fufengzi has arrived."
The concierge looked dazed.
But recently, because the news of a high-quality iron mine in Yongxing County has spread, swordsmiths from all over the world have rushed here. Every day, many people come to ask for an interview, so the concierge has already seen a lot.He quickly nodded: "You are looking for our Lord Hou, right? Just wait here, and I will report to Lord Hou right away!"
"I'm not looking for the Marquis of Changning, I'm looking for the young lady." Unexpectedly, this person named Fufengzi corrected him solemnly.
Is this person sick?There is no such thing as a little lady in their house, okay?
The concierge secretly slandered, but still nodded in agreement indiscriminately, and hurried back to report to Du Juanqing.
It just so happened that Du Juanqing didn't go to the mine today.Therefore, the concierge directly informed him of the news, and he was immediately overjoyed: "He really said he is Fufengzi?"
"Back to Lord Hou, that's right! Moreover, this man told me that he came to find the young lady, not you, the young lady asked him several times and he didn't change his words, and he didn't know what was going on with him. ’ replied the porter.
Du Juanqing's eyes darkened for an instant.
"The Marquis knows. Go and invite him in. I'll see him in a while."
"Yes." The concierge quickly agreed and went out.
Du Junqing called Du Ren to invite Gu Caiwei over.
Soon Gu Caiwei ran over happily.
"Is it true that brother Fang is here?" She hurriedly asked when she came to him.
This Fufengzi was obviously Ou Shenzi's junior apprentice, the junior apprentice of the master swordsmith Yang Mingzi. Ou Shenzi had mentioned this name to them countless times before.So when Du Juanqing heard what the concierge said today, he remembered it.
Du Juan nodded. "That's what he calls himself. It's just that I haven't seen Fufengzi, and Ou Shenzi is still at the mine and hasn't come back, so now you have to go and see it, and decide whether it's true or not."
"It's easy, I'll go with you!" Gu Caiwei nodded quickly.
After the words fell, the two of them went to the front hall together.
At this time the young man has come in.However, he didn't take off the bamboo basket on his back, but carried the heavy bamboo basket on his back like this, his figure was tall and straight like a green pine.
"That's right, it's him!" Gu Caiwei nodded quickly when she saw it.Then she wanted to go over and say hello to someone.
But Du Juanqing grabbed her tightly. "I go first."
"Okay!" Gu Caiwei nodded helplessly.
Then, I saw Du Juanqing striding over. "May I ask that you are Yang Mingzi's little apprentice Fufengzi?"
The young man turned to face him. "Exactly."
Seeing this too young face in front of him, Du Juanqing frowned slightly, and there was a trace of suspicion in his eyes.
Fufengzi saw it in his eyes, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly. "Marquis Changning thinks I'm too young to be Yang Mingzi's apprentice?"
"Indeed." Du Juan nodded.
Fufengzi smiled lightly immediately. "It seems that she didn't explain the matter clearly to you."
she?
Du Juanqing frowned slightly, and he immediately turned to look at Gu Caiwei.
Gu Caiwei had already stepped forward on her own initiative.
Immediately afterwards, Fufengzi's eyes also fell on her.Then, Du Juan clearly noticed that his eyes had darkened.
Gu Caiwei waved at him. "Brother Fang, you don't have to doubt it, it's me."
"Little lady? Awei?" Fufengzi called out cautiously.
Gu Caiwei nodded. "it's me."
"How did you become like this!" Fufengzi shouted immediately.
Don't look at this man's gentle appearance, but his sudden shout was so breathless that the huge sound waves he brought shook everything in the huge hall violently.
Not to mention the people in this house.If Du Juanqing was not careful, he shook back and forth several times.
Gu Caiwei was already prepared, so she just smiled helplessly. "I have become like this. What can I do? But, no matter what, I am still me. You will know this brother later."
"Of course I know it's you, but you look like this..." Fufengzi's face became more and more gloomy.
He stared at Gu Caiwei for a long time, and then looked at Du Juanqing again, his scrutiny made Du Juanqing feel a little uncomfortable.
But this person looked him up and down several times in a daze, and then turned to look at Gu Caiwei again. "I see."
What did he understand?Du Juanqing's heart beat wildly for no reason, and a bad feeling leaped into his heart.
"It's because of this that you followed him, right? This is not what you want at all, you are just forced to adapt to reality, isn't it?" Fu Fengzi immediately asked again.
Gu Caiwei frowned. "In the beginning you could say that. Only now—"
"I see." But Fufengzi didn't listen to her redundant explanation at all, and he asked directly, "How long do you plan to stay here? When will you reconcile?"
Du Juan immediately buzzed in his head.
"We don't get along!" He shouted loudly, holding Gu Caiwei's hand tightly, "We are husband and wife, and we live a good life now, why should we get along? Besides, you are an outsider, what qualifications do you have?" Let us make peace?"
"Am I an outsider?" Fu Fengzi looked at Gu Caiwei coldly.
Gu Caiwei couldn't help laughing dryly again.
"That...Brother Fang is really not an outsider." She whispered to Du Juanqing.
Du Juan's heart sank heavily for an instant. "It's not an outsider, so who is he?"
"He is my elder brother!" Gu Caiwei said hastily, "My grandfather and his old man have been friends for many years—oh yes, his old man is Yang Mingzi. Yang Mingzi lost his son in middle age, and his son left one at that time. The son who is still in his infancy is the elder brother of the Fang family. So the elder brother of the Fang family is much younger than Ou Shenzi and the others, but his sword-making skills are not worse than Ou Shenzi and the others. Even It can be said that he is even better than them! After all, he has received the true biography of Yang Mingzi!"
"I'm not just her elder brother." But immediately, Fu Fengzi said coldly again.
"Brother!" Upon hearing this, Gu Caiwei's expression changed, and she quickly whispered.
But Du Juanqing spoke again. "Let him talk. I also want to know, how much relationship do you still have?"
While speaking, his gloomy gaze had already fixed on Fufengzi.
Fufengzi is naturally not a shy person.His fixed eyes also fell on Du Juanqing, and the two men exchanged eyes, and they had already fought thousands of times in the blink of an eye.
"Actually, from the very beginning, I, Ah Weng, just wanted to make her my wife. So, I can be said to be her fiancé." Fufengzi said.
Gu Caiwei's eyes suddenly went dark, and she was unable to cover her face.
It's over, it's over, this guy really said so!
Du Junqing's face darkened, and he heard Fu Fengzi say again: "It's just that the surname Chen is quick, and he actually made the marriage first. I, Aunt, regretted it when I found out. I made an agreement with Gao Aunt then. If she If the marriage with Chen can't be done, then she has to marry me! So, since she has severed ties with Chen, she should marry me."
"But she is clearly the wife that my Ming Media is marrying back home. Everything between us is reasonable and legal. Now we can only call you brother because of the relationship between the elders. What kind of marriage contract is just a sentence from the elders Just kidding, you better forget it!" Du Juan said coldly.
Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Fu Fengzi smiled coldly. "I can't forget this kind of thing if I want to. Besides, if I can forget, can others forget?"
Du Juanqing's heart tightened again. "What do you mean by that?"
"It seems that she really hid a lot of things and didn't tell you!" Fu Fengzi suddenly smiled happily.
Gu Caiwei covered her face and screamed. "Brother Fang, stop talking, there's nothing to say..."
"No, this must be made clear. Since he wants to rob you from us, he should be prepared." Fu Fengzi said.
with them?Rob?
Du Junqing spoke heavily. "Yes, let him go on, I'm ready."
"Are you really ready?" Fu Fengzi raised his eyebrows, "Okay, I'll continue talking—Actually, I wasn't the only one who fell in love with her at the beginning, but I, A Weng, relied on the relationship between me and Gao A Weng. It’s all about the relationship between her life and death. After me, there are many people waiting in line for her to break off her engagement with Chen! If you really want to rob her, I’ll figure it out...then you No matter what, we have to wait until after number [-]."
Du Juanqing's face turned ashen instantly.
Gu Caiwei was about to cry. "Brother Fang, don't be alarmist, okay? In fact, there are not so many people. Many people are just joking, and few are serious, okay?"
"How many are there?" Du Juanqing immediately asked.
Gu Caiwei was speechless.
Fufengzi answered him very kindly: "If you don't say anything, it's a slap in the face. If you don't believe me, I can report their names one by one, and I can guarantee that Awei can't deny it. Awei, would you like to let me try?"
"It's better not to!" Gu Caiwei wanted to cry but had no tears.
"What about you? Do you want to listen?" Fu Fengzi looked at Du Juanqing again, with a hint of provocation in his eyes.
At this time, Du Juanqing's eyes had turned into two cold pools, and his eyes seemed to have been soaked in ice for thousands of years, extremely cold and stern.
"No need." He said word by word, "She is my wife, this is a well-known fact."
"It's not a big deal if you get married. It's not a big deal. We had always planned that after she got married with Chen, she would definitely not be able to stand that pious guy, and then she would kick him away and marry her again. Us." Fufengzi said.
Hearing this, Du Juanqing suddenly thought of Gu Caiwei's life-and-death plans to leave the Hou's Mansion.Even, the moment she just woke up, what he begged was to let him divorce her!
If he had really given her a divorce letter at that time, would she really marry this man later?
Although it's all gone, but thinking about it now, Du Juanqing's heart still can't help but be overwhelmed.
"Impossible." He said coldly, and then pulled Gu Caiwei, "If Senior Fufengzi came to our Yongxing County to seek opportunities to show off his talents, then you just stay, I won't be able to eat, wear and live Treat you badly. But if you are not... then please go out and turn right, go straight out of the city and you will be there for a mile, so you don’t have to leave!”
After the words fell, both he and Gu Caiwei had disappeared.
Seeing this, Fu Fengzi didn't chase after him, but just stood still, seeing the figures of these two people disappear out of sight, and then slowly lowered his face.
Du Ren also had a headache at this time.
How did he know that he accompanied Lord Hou to inspect this Fufengzi, but he heard such gossip?
And seeing his wife's reaction, he was sure that what Fufengzi said was absolutely true.Hou Ye naturally also found out, so he was angry.I don't know how this will end next!
And this person in front of me.He had already gotten into such a fight with Lord Hou just now, yet he still hasn't left?
He could only bite the bullet and walk forward. "Fufengzi, right? Just now, Master Hou has made the two choices clear, you can choose yourself!"
"I'll choose the first one." Fufengzi said immediately, and walked back with the basket on his back, "Where is my room? Have you cleaned it up yet? However, since it was Marquis Changning who wanted me to come over to help, then Presumably you have already prepared the things to entertain me."
Did he really stay?
Du Ren suddenly had a headache.
It's over, it's over, the Hou Mansion will definitely be lively!
indeed.
Du Juanqing was almost blown away by the series of news that Fufengzi told him!
Pulling Gu Caiwei back into the room, he didn't even have time to close the door, so he just stared at her with a sullen face, without uttering a word for a long time.
Gu Caiwei felt uncomfortable at the sight.
"Well, don't listen to his nonsense. In fact, I really only treat him as an elder brother. The reason why my grandfather agreed to Yang Mingzi's ridiculous request at the beginning was just because he couldn't resist his begging. As for the later Those people, they are all just watching the excitement, they don't think it's a big deal, they all follow suit, and they can't take it seriously!"
"Really?" Du Juan said coolly, "Then they dragged you to be engaged, did they give you a token?"
"...Give it." Gu Caiwei lowered her head lower and lower.
"Then you still say it's not true? They are clearly sincere!" Du Juan roared.
Gu Caiwei was so frightened by the raging anger coming from him.
"But I didn't admit it! I didn't intend to mess with them either."
She wanted to explain, but she heard a bang.
She looked up, only to find that Du Juanqing had already slammed the door and left in anger!
