Warm spring enters Hou's door
Chapter 110 Completely subdues people's hearts
Chapter 110 Completely subdues people's hearts
It wasn't until this time that a slight smile finally slowly appeared on Du Juanqing's face.
"Fufengzi, what are you talking about? Didn't you decide to accept Xiaogou as an apprentice? Benhou has never coerced you. Now you say that Benhou has set you up. You really wronged Benhou!"
Such a harmless appearance to humans and animals is really like a pure white rabbit.
Fufengzi gritted his teeth. "You men and women raised by so-called aristocratic families are really treacherous and cunning, I can't beat you!"
But looking at Du Yi who was still looking at him eagerly, he still shook his hand. "Forget it, I am a man who stands upright, so I will naturally do what I say. I will accept this apprentice!"
Du Juanqing immediately nodded. "Fufengzi is indeed a true hero, and this Marquis admires him so much."
Fufengzi snorted coldly. "Although I accepted the eldest son as an apprentice, it doesn't mean that I agree with you. You father and son are two completely different people!"
"Just don't worry about this, Ben Hou never expected to be understood and approved by you just because of such a trivial matter. Ben Hou is not stupid." Du Juan said calmly.
Fu Fengzi snorted again, turned around and entered the sword casting room.
Du Yi desperately wanted to follow in, but he didn't want Du Juan to drag him back.
"Go back with me."
"Father, you have already agreed to me! Master also agreed!" Du Yi was extremely anxious.
Du Juan's eyes turned cold. "I asked you to go back with me as part of the preparations for the apprenticeship ceremony."
After Du Yi paused, he blinked quickly. "Father, are you serious?"
"When did I lie to you?" Du Juan asked coldly.
Du Yi quickly pursed his lips, his expression still a little uncertain.
Gu Caiwei rubbed his little head.
"As for this matter, since your attitude is so firm, can we really stop it? Since this is what you want, then we can only follow your wishes."
Du Yi just laughed.
"Daddy, you're so kind!" he yelled.
Du Juanqing scowled and snorted coldly, then turned around and left immediately.
Du Yi was obedient this time, he hurriedly followed, obediently following Du Juanqing, like the most obedient little doll in the world.As for the matter of confronting Du Juanqing before and not even returning home for several days?He forgot all about it!
After returning home, Du Juanqing took Gu Caiwei to make arrangements for tailoring new clothes for Du Yi and Fufengzi, sending invitations to the nobles in Yongxing County to invite them to watch the ceremony, and also preparing for various ceremonies for the apprenticeship ceremony. matter.
The two of them were so busy that they managed to get everything ready within two days.
Then, Du Yi's apprenticeship ceremony was held at the mine.
Originally, Du Juanqing wanted to work in the Hou's mansion, but Fufengzi insisted on not leaving the mine.In his words: "I like it here. The scenery on the mine is good and the place is open. I don't want to leave here in a short time."
He is also willful.Of course, the more reason was that he was just unhappy with Du Juan, and wanted to fight against him in everything!
Du Juan couldn't resist him, so he simply asked someone to move everything to the front of his sword-making room.
Therefore, on this day, not only the dignitaries from Yongxing County came, but also the peasants from the mine. There is almost no place to step down.
Under the witness of many pairs of eyes, Du Yi wore the shorts that Gu Caiwei had newly made for him, and respectfully brought a cup of tea to Fu Fengzi: "Master, please drink tea."
Fu Fengzi took the teacup but didn't drink it, but stared at him for a long time before saying slowly: "The first requirement for entering my teacher's school is not to return home within three years, can you please accept this condition?" promise?"
three years?
Du Yi's face changed slightly when he heard this.Du Juanqing, who was sitting on the side, also frowned, and he immediately turned his head to look at Gu Caiwei - you never told me this!
Gu Caiwei laughed dryly: "If you disagree, you can go back on your word now."
is it possible?Du Juan snorted coldly in his heart.
And Du Yi over there just hesitated for a while, then he firmly nodded his head: "I agree!"
Fu Fengzi then explained the other conditions in the division.These are much simpler, just to warn him to listen to his master's teachings after getting started, and to follow what the master says, and not to choose the easy and fear the heavy, fear the hardship or be tired, and so on, Du Yi naturally agreed.
After he fully agreed, Fu Fengzi nodded and drank the tea in his hand.
"Licheng!"
Immediately, the master of ceremonies shouted loudly, and Du Yi hurriedly kowtowed three times to Fu Fengzi, and their master-student relationship was formally confirmed.
Fu Fengzi put down the teacup, stepped forward to help Du Yi up, and he waved his hands: "Okay, since the matter is over, you can all go. Ayi stays, and will follow in the next three years By my side, never leave."
"Yes, I know!" Du Yi hurriedly nodded.
Gu Caiwei couldn't help being a little surprised when she heard this. "Brother, we even set up a banquet waiting for you to celebrate together!"
"It's fine for you to go, I don't like to join in the fun." Fu Fengzi just said, and directly dragged Du Yi into the sword casting room.
Du Yi smiled back and waved at them, then followed Fu Fengzi away.
Now, this little guy's heart has been completely devoted to Fu Fengzi, even his parents don't care anymore!
Gu Caiwei's heart suddenly felt empty, and she began to envy Fu Fengzi.
Back then, she was the most clingy person to this little guy!In order to beg for a bite from her, he also stood next to her all day long, and that sullen little appearance made people really like it.
As a result, now that he met someone he admired even more, he took the initiative to approach her again and left her behind!
This little bastard!
"Feng Shui turns around, now you should understand how I felt back then, right?" At this time, Du Juanqing's cold voice rang in his ears.
Gu Caiwei turned her head, and saw that the man had a cold face, his eyes were still fixed on the direction where Du Yi and Fu Fengzi disappeared.
Although Du Yi was not his own, the two of them had depended on each other for so many years, and their relationship was as close as father and son.Especially when Du Yi was inseparable from him because of his body, he was used to having this little guy by his side.As it turned out, it was all right now, Du Yi and Fu Fengzi had left, and they had been gone for at least three years.It was as if a piece of his heart had been stolen from him, and now he couldn't tell how uncomfortable he was.
Gu Caiwei quickly held his hand. "Don't be too sad, Ayi has just grown up. You see, these days he is here, doesn't he even eat the food in the mine? This shows that he has a pursuit in his heart, and his willpower has overcome his body. High demands, this is really what he likes to do. As elders, we should stand by his side, support him and encourage him."
"I know." Du Juan nodded, "It's just that my chest is still a little uncomfortable."
Can understand.
Gu Caiwei nodded. "Okay, the two of them don't eat banquets, we still have to attend. From now on, Ayi can be regarded as finding a way to make a living, so that he won't spend his whole life relying on the title passed down from his family to eat and wait for death. This is a great thing !"
Du Juan curled his lips when he heard the words. "I haven't seen any improvement in this business."
Let him be stubborn!Du Yi was able to get Fufengzi's consent to be accepted into the family, and his help was indispensable during this process.That means that he also agrees with Fufengzi's ability in his heart.
It's just... because of Fufengzi's identity and the relationship with Gu Caiwei, he won't be able to overcome this hurdle for a while.
Gu Caiwei didn't listen to his duplicity, so she quickly pulled him along. "Let's go, let's toast the guests! Today is a good day, and the artisans in the mine are all off for the day, and they are very grateful to us!"
Only then did Du Juan hook the corners of his lips, but he grasped her catkin instead. "Let's go!"
Although there were no two protagonists who were masters and apprentices, the reason why the guests from the county town came to join in the fun was for Du Juanqing's sake.Needless to say, the craftsmen in the mine, as long as they can take a day off to rest, and then have wine and meat, they will be very happy, regardless of whether the protagonist is there or not?
Especially thinking of the eldest son of Chang Ninghou, who was not yet ten years old, but was left in the mine by Chang Ninghou, and will eat and live with them from now on... The nobles from Chang'an City are just like them Then they will feel much more relieved in their hearts, and there will be fewer complaints in their hearts and mouths.
Therefore, this teacher apprentice banquet can be said to be a joy for both guests and hosts.
But... After the banquet, there was one person who was very unhappy. He was Gu Tianyuan who hangs out with Du Yi every day these days.
Seeing that Du Yizhen left with Fu Fengzi, Du Yi didn't even say a word to him when he came over just now!He was sour in his heart, very uncomfortable, and there was no smile on his face from the beginning.
And when the banquet was over, the craftsmen went back to rest after drinking and eating, and the visitors also left and went home one after another.Gu Caiwei and the others also planned to pack up their things and go back, Gu Tianyuan's little face was even more broken.
"I'll be alone from now on! I suddenly feel that this life is so boring." He complained sadly to Gu Caiwei.
Gu Caiwei raised her eyebrows. "Didn't you live alone in the past? You and Ayi have been on the mend for less than half a year. How can you be so affectionate and not willing to part?"
"How do I know this? Anyway, since he left, I feel deserted around me and lonely in my heart. It's very uncomfortable. Thinking that I won't be able to talk and play with him happily in the next three years, I It's even more uncomfortable." Gu Tianyuan muttered in a low voice.
Gu Caiwei hooked the corner of her mouth. "If you really think so, then it's easy to solve this matter."
"Sister, do you have a solution?" Gu Tianyuan's eyes brightened suddenly.
Gu Caiwei nodded. "It's fine if you stay too? Didn't he follow Fufengzi? You just follow Ou Shenzi!"
Gu Tianyuan's expression changed. "Sister, you cheated on me!"
"I'm serious." Gu Caiwei replied solemnly, "Look, Goro, you, and Ayi, the three of you came here together, but now, Goro and Ayi are staying here, but you are alone. Follow us back to enjoy the glory and wealth. No matter how I think about it, I feel that there is no way to explain it to my uncle when I go back. So why don't you stay, and take this opportunity to learn more from Ou Shenzi. By the way, the mine doctors here are not good Gao, if you really encounter any serious trouble, you can also help out."
"Sister, I learned poison!" Gu Tianyuan quickly reminded her.
"Oh, medicine and poison are not separated, I believe in you." Gu Caiwei patted his little head and dragged him to Ou Shenzi.
Ou Shenzi was very happy to accept this little follower who offered to come to his door.
"Thank you, little lady, for your concern! It just so happens that I really feel that one apprentice on hand is not enough! Now you can rest assured that you will put Qingxuanshan people here with me, and I will definitely do my best to forge him into a strong man !"
"Well, he must not be compared to A Yi. He is an uncle." Gu Caiwei said.
"That's needless to say?" Ou Shenzi nodded without thinking, "I am also a senior brother! The people I teach will definitely only be stronger than the ones he taught, and will not be worse!"
When Gu Tianyuan heard this, his shoulders trembled violently.
He can imagine how sad his life will be in the future.
However, since the three little guys had found their homes, Gu Caiwei felt that she was done, she immediately clapped her hands, and headed back home with Du Juanqing in a refreshed outfit.
It's just... When they arrived at the Hou's Mansion, when they saw the room where there were only the two of them, and the chattering Du Yi and Gu Tianyuan who usually surrounded them were gone, Gu Caiwei felt a sense of desolation again.
"Suddenly, I feel that this room is indeed terribly empty!" She sighed lowly.
She was used to having little guys playing around all day long, but now suddenly there was no sound at all, she was not used to it.
"En." Du Juanqing also nodded, "It's too sloppy."
At this moment, a thought popped into Gu Caiwei's mind - how about they have another one?
But as soon as this idea came up, she quickly snapped it back.
Now is not the time to have a baby!She shouldn't even think about it!
At this time, Du Juanqing had already turned to her, and then took out something from his sleeve and handed it to her.
"What is this? A dagger?" Gu Caiwei was startled when she saw this, she quickly took the thing over and found that it was indeed a dagger.
Pulling it away, she suddenly found that this dagger looked roughly the same as the one Du Juanqing gave her back then.But if you take a closer look, you can find that this dagger is made lighter and thinner, and there are a few delicate dark lines engraved on the body of the dagger, which is much more expensive than the original one.
Gu Caiwei opened her eyes wide in surprise, and Du Juanqing coughed twice. "Your one was broken, so I asked someone to give you a new one. It used the best iron ore dug out from the mine, and I asked Ou Shenzi to mine it."
Gu Caiwei's heart felt sweet all of a sudden.
She hurriedly put the dagger close to her body, then stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the cheek again. "Thank you."
"That's it?" The man raised his eyebrows, obviously dissatisfied with this superficial kiss.
When Gu Caiwei saw this, she smiled. "Of course it won't stop. I still have more tricks to come, but I don't know if you can resist, Lord Changning?"
Du Juanqing's eyes flashed immediately, and a look of color appeared on his face. "This Marquis has a lot of experience and knowledge, and I have never encountered anything that I can't resist. Whatever skills you have, just use them!"
"Okay!"
Gu Caiwei responded readily, and immediately flew towards him happily.
Du Juanqing also hugged her, and the two of them fell on the bed together and rolled into a ball.
Since then, the Hou Mansion has been terribly clean.but.Du Juanqing and Gu Caiwei gritted their teeth and persisted, and gradually got used to it.
Not to mention, they still have a lot of things on hand now: for example, they came to Yongxing County with Wu Chongxun and others, and so many of them lived in the Hou Mansion together. This will inevitably make interested people seize the opportunity to stuff people inside.Otherwise, Wu Chongxun and Wu Yanji wouldn't have been able to transfer the guards from the Hou's mansion so easily that day, and then a group of them would have threatening Gu Caiwei in the back garden.
Now that those two people have been driven away, they will naturally clear out the idlers in the Hou's mansion.These are all Gu Caiwei's affairs.
As for Du Juanqing, he began to find out and pull out all the eyeliners who had been planted in the mine and even in the entire Yongxing County.Then, taking advantage of the iron mines under his own name, he hurriedly had people refine a batch of weapons, and then began to recruit manpower, and asked Qin Shiliu Langjun and others to help organize people into teams and train them strictly to strengthen their strength. The defense of the Hou Mansion, the mines, and the county towns.
These things are extremely important, but also extremely trivial. They work together in a division of labor, and they have been busy for two full months before they see results.
At this time, Wu Chongxun and Wu Yanji brothers were finally sent back to Chang'an.Soon, Chang'an also returned the first batch of news——
"Seeing the crazy Wu Chongxun brothers, Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi were really furious. At that time, they arrested a few guards who went with them and tortured them, trying to force them to tell the truth. But those guards were also crazy. Well, several people were beaten to death without any explanation. Then, they set their sights on Wu Chongxun's two concubines... They are not crazy, and they all know something, but what about those two people? They don't know the fact of going crazy, what they said is that those two people were eating, drinking and having fun all the way to hold us back. Then...then the result of these people can be imagined." Du Juan told Gu Caiwei the news in every detail .
Gu Caiwei pursed her lips. "I'm afraid these beauties will not survive."
First of all, the Wu family will definitely marry the royal family and nobles in the future, so they will absolutely suppress the news that their own males have not given up.Therefore, these concubines who have witnessed Wu Chongxun's desolation must be eliminated.Secondly, since Wu Yanji and Wu Yanji ended up in this situation, Wu Sansi and his brothers would definitely blame them for not taking good care of them.Therefore, they are destined not to live long.
really.
After another half a month, there was another news from Chang'an City—those beauties were either sick or injured, thrown into wells or hit walls, and all died cleanly.
However, these are all the affairs of the Wu family. Even if outsiders find that people died too densely and strangely, it is not convenient for them to intervene.
But then, the Wu family extended its claws to the families of the Du family, the Qin family, and the two servants of the household military department.
Why did they all go to Yongxing County together, and in the end nothing happened to anyone else, only them, the male from the Wu family had an accident?Moreover, they still had many disasters along the way, and they didn't enjoy many good days!The Wu family was very dissatisfied.
Moreover, Wu Chongxun and Wu Yanji secretly went to Yongxing County to look for iron ore under their orders in private. Hidden iron ore, they almost wanted to throw wine to celebrate, but in the end their children went crazy!It was sent back!
No matter how they think about it, they feel that there is something tricky here.
But we can send more people to Yongxing County, and as many people as we send out, we will be blocked back—Du Juanqing and the Qin family have teamed up, and have taken the time to train a group of people to guard outside the city gate, and they are dealing with the Wu family. !
Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi became more and more angry.Old and new grudges welled up in their hearts, they couldn't touch Du Juan now, so they could only attack their relatives who stayed in Chang'an City.
Therefore, in the following time, they created incidents countless times, fabricated evidence to make false accusations, and even instigated the impeachment of Yu Shishu, tossing all the members of Lai Guogong's mansion, Qin family, and Gu family.
It's winter now.
The winter in Yongxing County is not as cold as that in Chang'an, but it is more humid and cold here, and the temperature in the mountains is much lower than that outside, so it has not been long since winter, and there have been several snowfalls on the mountains, thick Snow covered the entire mine tightly.
In this case, it is impossible to continue mining.
Du Juanqing asked the absentees to pay each of them a dime for their hard work, and let them go home for the winter and the New Year.As for the swordsmiths who continued to stay at the foot of the mountain, he told Du Junhong and the others to continue to treat them attentively. There must be no shortage of wine and meat every day, and there is also a sufficient supply of charcoal fire.
Although the weather is getting colder and colder day by day, the big guy's heart is still warm.
In a blink of an eye, the day of Xiaonian came.
Even though it was a young year, the other master swordsmiths had rested, but Fu Fengzi and Ou Shenzi still insisted on making iron in the mine.
These two senior brothers have competed with each other since they were young, and now that they are in the same place, they have brought out the spirit of pinching each other to the extreme.Especially now that they are still in the mine, and there are inexhaustible iron ore everywhere around them, the two of them are like little mice falling into a rice bowl, and they are more and more at ease, so they both exert themselves to the maximum. With his own ability, he only wanted to use a good weapon to convince the opponent.
Naturally, they didn't want to come to Hou's mansion for the festival, neither could Du Yi and Gu Tianyuan.Gu Tianci still had to accompany Du Shishilang to stand firm in the mine and couldn't return.
But if people don't come back, this festival will still be celebrated.
According to the rules of Yongxing County, Gu Caiwei had someone catch a large tank of live fish and slaughtered a pig a few days ago.After she had the fish dissected and cleaned, she took off the fish meat and chopped it into pieces, added a little fat meat and a few eggs in the middle, kneaded it together to get the tendons, and steamed it in a pan to make fish cakes.Pork is minced and kneaded into balls, rolled around with glutinous rice, and then steamed over water for a stick of incense, the balls will be round, and the glutinous rice around them will be steamed more than doubled , fragrant, soft and bright, dotted on the pink meatballs, the red and white are very beautiful.
For the remaining pork chops, she picked up a large knife and chopped them into small pieces, and stewed a large pot of lotus root pork ribs soup with lotus root, a specialty of Yongxing County.The lotus root is soft and waxy, served with crispy pork ribs, even the stewed soup is sweet and delicious, with its own meaty aroma and the fragrance of lotus root, the taste is strong but not greasy at all, on the contrary it is refreshing and moistens the throat. In the kitchen, one person secretly drank a large bowl.
"How is it? Is it delicious?" Gu Caiwei asked Du Juanqing with a smile.
Du Juanqing finished the last sip of soup, took out his handkerchief to wipe the corners of his mouth politely, and then nodded: "It's delicious."
Gu Caiwei laughed so much that her eyes were bent into two crescents.
"I told you earlier that the lotus root on Jingzhou Road is the best. There are soft and glutinous ones, and some are crispy. Crispy stir-fries and cold dishes are the best, and soft and glutinous stews are the best. Stewed with pork ribs, the taste is absolutely amazing! I have fried diced lotus root for you before, and also chilled lotus root cubes. Today I have the opportunity to stew pork ribs and lotus root soup. What do you think? Fresh lotus root is better than all the way The ones that have been delayed for a long time on the way to Chang'an are more delicious, right?"
Du Junqing nodded. "You're right. I used to think that the food in Chang'an City was good, but now that I've eaten these, I realize that the so-called delicacies that were served to me before were mediocre."
Even, he didn't touch pork at all before, but now he can eat a few bites when he brings it to her.Then he discovered that the pork was ready, and it seemed to be quite delicious!
"That's it!" Gu Caiwei became more and more proud, "Except for dried vegetables, most of the delicacies in this world can't escape the word "fresh". Therefore, digging out the place of origin and eating it is the most authentic way of eating, and it is also a good way to eat ingredients. The greatest respect. I have no other wish in this life, I just want to wait until I have saved enough money, and then travel and eat all over the world!"
"Well, I'll be with you." Du Juanqing said immediately.
Gu Caiwei immediately nodded happily. "Of course. Even if you don't agree, I will drag you along!"
The corner of Gu Caiwei's mouth curled up instantly, and she smiled lightly.
The two of them got together and talked in a low voice, while Gu Caiwei continued to instruct them to prepare other things.After all, considering that most of them were from Chang'an, she also made a lot of cakes according to the northern customs.
Before I knew it, things were all over the table.
However, before the things were finished, the two servants of the Ministry of Military Affairs rushed into the kitchen before they could put them out!
"Master Hou, you must save us!"
After these two people broke in, they locked Du Juanqing's location at a glance, and rushed over to hold him back.
Du Juan was startled. "Why are you two doing this?"
"The Wu family and the Wu family have already targeted our family members, and now they are all attacking them!"
The Minister of Household Department whispered, hurriedly took out a letter from his arms and handed it to him.
The Minister of War also took out his own letter and handed it over.
Du Juanqing and Gu Caiwei hurriedly took one of them and looked at it, and they both sank down.
"Wu is really going too far!" Gu Caiwei sneered, "We provoked the matter, and it is enough for them to deal with us. Why do you involve other irrelevant people? They robbed you in the first place." Credit, you haven't settled accounts with them yet, and they still have the face to seek your family's affairs?"
"Isn't it?" Without the Wu family's eyeliner, the servant of the household department also let go, and he cursed, "The surname Wu has never been kind. He only knows how to ask others, but never gives. They have already taken credit for their previous achievements." It's on me, I really thought they caught it with their own real skills! But now, Mr. Wu family has gone crazy, they think we are your accomplices, and they think we are not doing enough to protect them, so they naturally blame us We're coming up."
"It's just that if they blame us, let's blame them. Why should we spread our anger on my family's old, weak, women and children? My family is innocent!" The Minister of the Ministry of War also whispered.
It was a big holiday, but they received a distress letter from their family members. It is conceivable how bad their mood was.
Gu Caiwei briefly read the letter in her hand, her heart sank.
At first glance, this matter was written by the surname Wu.It was even arranged by the surname Wu to send the letter to these two people at this time.They just want to stimulate them and disgust them, so that they can't even live this year!
After all, it was already deep winter, and all the post horses of the imperial court had rested.All letters will not be delivered until after the year.In other words - the letter sent from Chang'an City years ago ends here, they want to know the next situation of the family?Wait until next spring!
After the beginning of spring, it would be good to continue sending letters from the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.Then the road was still difficult to walk, and after a few more delays, it was thankful that Er Yue could deliver the letter to them.
In the middle, waiting for a month or two, wouldn't it torture people to death?
It was no wonder that the two servants were in such a bad mood.
Since the two of them were able to be sent to Yongxing County by various ministries to see the mines, and the Shangguan arranged for them to stay here for a long time, they knew that their backgrounds were not very good.Without the support of aristocratic families behind them, they worked hard for many years before they finally climbed to the position of servants.Originally, at their age, they no longer expected to continue to climb up. The position of Shang Shu was destined to be the same as their colleagues who were in the position of servants, but who came from a century-old family.The reason why they chose to come to Mining Town is just to earn more credit and benefit their children and grandchildren.This is also the reason why they indulged Wu Chongxun brothers so much in the beginning.
In the end, they didn't expect that they had worked so hard to give in for so long, but what they got in the end was such an ending!
They regret it to death!
When Gu Caiwei saw this, she immediately crumpled up the letter in her hand, threw it into the stove and burned it.
"What are you doing? This is the last letter from my family!"
When the Minister of the Ministry of War saw it, his face immediately changed drastically, and he wanted to rush over to pick up the letter.
Du Ren quickly dragged him back. "Liu Shilang, please be calm and calm. Since our wife did this, there must be a reason for her to do so. You should listen to her explain the situation before getting angry."
"What can she say to stop me from getting angry? Can he go back and ask for help now to save my family from disaster?" the servant of the Ministry of War growled.
"We can indeed." Du Juan responded calmly.
The Minister of the Ministry of War was full of anger, and he turned his head in disbelief.
At this time, the household servant's eyes widened, and he was so excited that he grabbed Du Juanqing's sleeve. "What did you say, Marquis Changning? Can you really do it?"
Du Juan nodded. "Ma'am, since you did this, it's up to you to talk about it!"
The two servants hurriedly cast their hopeful eyes on Gu Caiwei in unison.
Gu Caiwei also said: "Actually, we have already received a letter early this morning, it was sent to us from Chang'an, and it is also about what the Wu family did to our family."
Of course they know this.The Wu family dealt with people from the Duke of Lai's mansion at the beginning, and they directly planned to make them lose their title of Duke of Lai!However, only two days after they made their move, they suddenly stopped. The specific reason is unknown.In private, they heard that it seemed that Wu Chengsi fell ill when he just decided to attack;Wu Chongxun and Wu Yanji, two patients whose physical condition had stabilized, became extremely manic overnight, almost demolishing half of the mansion.
The Wu family was frightened and frightened, and urgently called for people to stop.Then, they're all good!
Therefore, the Wu family completely regarded the Du family as their nemesis, and did not dare to attack the Du family indiscriminately.But how did they swallow this breath?So they did a lot of tricks in private, which was enough to make the Du family tired of coping.
Du Juanqing and Gu Caiwei were naturally very concerned about their own affairs.
"Just what does this have to do with us?" The Minister of the Ministry of War was very anxious and couldn't help asking again.
Gu Caiwei said: "This letter was sent to us by Mr. Zhang, and there is a note written by Mr. Di Ge inside."
"Master Zhang? And the youngest Di Ge?"
Hearing these two titles, the two servants immediately lifted their spirits.
Gu Caiwei nodded, and immediately called Liuli to get the letter. "Please take a look, both of you."
The two servants reached out to pick it up together, but immediately paused.The two looked at each other, but they didn't want to give in - they both wanted to read the contents of the letter first.So after the two confronted each other for a while, they simply held the envelope with one hand, and then opened the letter together, and showed the contents on it together.
After reading the letter, and then reading the note from Di Ge, the anxiety on their faces was immediately swept away, and both of them let out a long sigh of relief.
Quickly let go and handed the letter back to Liuli, and the two of them looked up at Du Juanqing and Gu Caiwei and his wife together, their expressions became a little embarrassed.
"That... Marquis of Changning, madam, we..."
"Needless to say." Gu Caiwei immediately waved her hand, "We fully understand the feelings of the two of you. When we first learned that our family members were being bullied by the Wu family, we were also very anxious, so we don't blame you. But now, there is Di Elder Ge and Master Zhang are protecting your family, even Her Majesty the Empress has to give them a little bit of sympathy, your family will definitely be safe and sound."
"That's nature, that's nature."
The two servants hurriedly wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads, and then they were all relieved and smiled happily.
They hurriedly adjusted their clothes, and respectfully stepped forward to salute Du Junqing: "Marquis Changning, you saved the life of a certain family member, and you can be said to be the reborn parents of a certain person. From now on, this life of a certain person is yours! In the future, you will have If you need it, just give me an order, and I will definitely go through fire and water, and I will do my best!"
Although they were in the kitchen, their attitudes were extremely devout, and their words were mixed with excitement and gratitude, so they almost took out a heart on the spot and showed it to Du Junqing to show their respect to him.
If it is said that the last time they joined forces to drive Wu Chongxun brothers out of Yongxing County, it is just that they have cultivated a certain tacit understanding invisibly.So this time, Du Juanqing completely subdued their hearts.
Seeing this, Du Juanqing hurried forward to help them both up.
"Please hurry up, both of you! Your official position is higher than mine, and your age is also older than me. How can I afford your big gift? Since God arranged for us to gather here, then this is our destiny." Fate. I have seen your every move these days, and you all seriously want to benefit the people. I admire you from the bottom of my heart. So now, I am just trying my best to make You can continue to work here with peace of mind. It's nothing to worry about, you two don't need to be too polite."
"Marquis Changning, your little effort is nothing less than a kindness of regeneration to us. How can we forget?" Hubu Shilang hurriedly held his hand, and he was so excited that tears were about to come out.
The Minister of the Ministry of War is not much better.
Seeing this, Du Juanqing sighed softly, and could only comfort the two in a low voice, while leading them to the front hall.
Next, they must have a lot to say.
Watching the figures of these people go away, Gu Caiwei's shoulders collapsed. "Okay, now the people in Yongxing County are all gathered together!"
Next, they can show their hands and feet with confidence!
"Miss, you are amazing!"
Seeing this, Liuli quickly gave Gu Caiwei a thumbs up.
"But..." After a pause, she couldn't help asking in a low voice, "Lady, you weren't afraid that they would find out that the letter was fake just now? These two people have had contact with Mr. Di Ge and Mr. Zhang. They must all know the handwriting of old Prime Minister Di Ge."
"Don't worry, they won't find out if they are in a hurry." Gu Caiwei waved her hand indifferently, "At this time, they will only see what they want to see, and they will also recognize what they want to recognize. The rest, they I can't hold anything in my mind anymore."
As she spoke, she smiled again. "Besides, although my letter is fake, the content inside is absolutely true. It's just that the surname Wu is too treacherous, knowing that we will correspond with Di Aweng and the others in private, so secretly The letter was stolen. I trust Di Aon, he will not let us have any worries here."
"But even so, when the letter from Master Zhang and the others really arrives next year, this matter will have to be covered!" Liuli whispered.
"Then we'll talk about it later." Gu Caiwei was still very calm, even with a slight smile on the corner of her mouth, "Besides, even if they really find out that they have been deceived, the person they should look for is Du Junqing. This matter has something to do with me." How much does it matter? At that time, I just need to watch the excitement!"
"Ah! Ahh!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Du Juanqing, who was chatting enthusiastically with the two servants, couldn't help itching his nose and sneezed several times.
Seeing this, the two servants quickly asked him with concern. "How are you, Lord Marquis? Are you sick?"
"It's okay." Du Juan rubbed his nose, "Someone dug a hole for me again, and I'm smiling smugly now!"
As he spoke, the corner of his lips curled up, and he even smiled!
(End of this chapter)
It wasn't until this time that a slight smile finally slowly appeared on Du Juanqing's face.
"Fufengzi, what are you talking about? Didn't you decide to accept Xiaogou as an apprentice? Benhou has never coerced you. Now you say that Benhou has set you up. You really wronged Benhou!"
Such a harmless appearance to humans and animals is really like a pure white rabbit.
Fufengzi gritted his teeth. "You men and women raised by so-called aristocratic families are really treacherous and cunning, I can't beat you!"
But looking at Du Yi who was still looking at him eagerly, he still shook his hand. "Forget it, I am a man who stands upright, so I will naturally do what I say. I will accept this apprentice!"
Du Juanqing immediately nodded. "Fufengzi is indeed a true hero, and this Marquis admires him so much."
Fufengzi snorted coldly. "Although I accepted the eldest son as an apprentice, it doesn't mean that I agree with you. You father and son are two completely different people!"
"Just don't worry about this, Ben Hou never expected to be understood and approved by you just because of such a trivial matter. Ben Hou is not stupid." Du Juan said calmly.
Fu Fengzi snorted again, turned around and entered the sword casting room.
Du Yi desperately wanted to follow in, but he didn't want Du Juan to drag him back.
"Go back with me."
"Father, you have already agreed to me! Master also agreed!" Du Yi was extremely anxious.
Du Juan's eyes turned cold. "I asked you to go back with me as part of the preparations for the apprenticeship ceremony."
After Du Yi paused, he blinked quickly. "Father, are you serious?"
"When did I lie to you?" Du Juan asked coldly.
Du Yi quickly pursed his lips, his expression still a little uncertain.
Gu Caiwei rubbed his little head.
"As for this matter, since your attitude is so firm, can we really stop it? Since this is what you want, then we can only follow your wishes."
Du Yi just laughed.
"Daddy, you're so kind!" he yelled.
Du Juanqing scowled and snorted coldly, then turned around and left immediately.
Du Yi was obedient this time, he hurriedly followed, obediently following Du Juanqing, like the most obedient little doll in the world.As for the matter of confronting Du Juanqing before and not even returning home for several days?He forgot all about it!
After returning home, Du Juanqing took Gu Caiwei to make arrangements for tailoring new clothes for Du Yi and Fufengzi, sending invitations to the nobles in Yongxing County to invite them to watch the ceremony, and also preparing for various ceremonies for the apprenticeship ceremony. matter.
The two of them were so busy that they managed to get everything ready within two days.
Then, Du Yi's apprenticeship ceremony was held at the mine.
Originally, Du Juanqing wanted to work in the Hou's mansion, but Fufengzi insisted on not leaving the mine.In his words: "I like it here. The scenery on the mine is good and the place is open. I don't want to leave here in a short time."
He is also willful.Of course, the more reason was that he was just unhappy with Du Juan, and wanted to fight against him in everything!
Du Juan couldn't resist him, so he simply asked someone to move everything to the front of his sword-making room.
Therefore, on this day, not only the dignitaries from Yongxing County came, but also the peasants from the mine. There is almost no place to step down.
Under the witness of many pairs of eyes, Du Yi wore the shorts that Gu Caiwei had newly made for him, and respectfully brought a cup of tea to Fu Fengzi: "Master, please drink tea."
Fu Fengzi took the teacup but didn't drink it, but stared at him for a long time before saying slowly: "The first requirement for entering my teacher's school is not to return home within three years, can you please accept this condition?" promise?"
three years?
Du Yi's face changed slightly when he heard this.Du Juanqing, who was sitting on the side, also frowned, and he immediately turned his head to look at Gu Caiwei - you never told me this!
Gu Caiwei laughed dryly: "If you disagree, you can go back on your word now."
is it possible?Du Juan snorted coldly in his heart.
And Du Yi over there just hesitated for a while, then he firmly nodded his head: "I agree!"
Fu Fengzi then explained the other conditions in the division.These are much simpler, just to warn him to listen to his master's teachings after getting started, and to follow what the master says, and not to choose the easy and fear the heavy, fear the hardship or be tired, and so on, Du Yi naturally agreed.
After he fully agreed, Fu Fengzi nodded and drank the tea in his hand.
"Licheng!"
Immediately, the master of ceremonies shouted loudly, and Du Yi hurriedly kowtowed three times to Fu Fengzi, and their master-student relationship was formally confirmed.
Fu Fengzi put down the teacup, stepped forward to help Du Yi up, and he waved his hands: "Okay, since the matter is over, you can all go. Ayi stays, and will follow in the next three years By my side, never leave."
"Yes, I know!" Du Yi hurriedly nodded.
Gu Caiwei couldn't help being a little surprised when she heard this. "Brother, we even set up a banquet waiting for you to celebrate together!"
"It's fine for you to go, I don't like to join in the fun." Fu Fengzi just said, and directly dragged Du Yi into the sword casting room.
Du Yi smiled back and waved at them, then followed Fu Fengzi away.
Now, this little guy's heart has been completely devoted to Fu Fengzi, even his parents don't care anymore!
Gu Caiwei's heart suddenly felt empty, and she began to envy Fu Fengzi.
Back then, she was the most clingy person to this little guy!In order to beg for a bite from her, he also stood next to her all day long, and that sullen little appearance made people really like it.
As a result, now that he met someone he admired even more, he took the initiative to approach her again and left her behind!
This little bastard!
"Feng Shui turns around, now you should understand how I felt back then, right?" At this time, Du Juanqing's cold voice rang in his ears.
Gu Caiwei turned her head, and saw that the man had a cold face, his eyes were still fixed on the direction where Du Yi and Fu Fengzi disappeared.
Although Du Yi was not his own, the two of them had depended on each other for so many years, and their relationship was as close as father and son.Especially when Du Yi was inseparable from him because of his body, he was used to having this little guy by his side.As it turned out, it was all right now, Du Yi and Fu Fengzi had left, and they had been gone for at least three years.It was as if a piece of his heart had been stolen from him, and now he couldn't tell how uncomfortable he was.
Gu Caiwei quickly held his hand. "Don't be too sad, Ayi has just grown up. You see, these days he is here, doesn't he even eat the food in the mine? This shows that he has a pursuit in his heart, and his willpower has overcome his body. High demands, this is really what he likes to do. As elders, we should stand by his side, support him and encourage him."
"I know." Du Juan nodded, "It's just that my chest is still a little uncomfortable."
Can understand.
Gu Caiwei nodded. "Okay, the two of them don't eat banquets, we still have to attend. From now on, Ayi can be regarded as finding a way to make a living, so that he won't spend his whole life relying on the title passed down from his family to eat and wait for death. This is a great thing !"
Du Juan curled his lips when he heard the words. "I haven't seen any improvement in this business."
Let him be stubborn!Du Yi was able to get Fufengzi's consent to be accepted into the family, and his help was indispensable during this process.That means that he also agrees with Fufengzi's ability in his heart.
It's just... because of Fufengzi's identity and the relationship with Gu Caiwei, he won't be able to overcome this hurdle for a while.
Gu Caiwei didn't listen to his duplicity, so she quickly pulled him along. "Let's go, let's toast the guests! Today is a good day, and the artisans in the mine are all off for the day, and they are very grateful to us!"
Only then did Du Juan hook the corners of his lips, but he grasped her catkin instead. "Let's go!"
Although there were no two protagonists who were masters and apprentices, the reason why the guests from the county town came to join in the fun was for Du Juanqing's sake.Needless to say, the craftsmen in the mine, as long as they can take a day off to rest, and then have wine and meat, they will be very happy, regardless of whether the protagonist is there or not?
Especially thinking of the eldest son of Chang Ninghou, who was not yet ten years old, but was left in the mine by Chang Ninghou, and will eat and live with them from now on... The nobles from Chang'an City are just like them Then they will feel much more relieved in their hearts, and there will be fewer complaints in their hearts and mouths.
Therefore, this teacher apprentice banquet can be said to be a joy for both guests and hosts.
But... After the banquet, there was one person who was very unhappy. He was Gu Tianyuan who hangs out with Du Yi every day these days.
Seeing that Du Yizhen left with Fu Fengzi, Du Yi didn't even say a word to him when he came over just now!He was sour in his heart, very uncomfortable, and there was no smile on his face from the beginning.
And when the banquet was over, the craftsmen went back to rest after drinking and eating, and the visitors also left and went home one after another.Gu Caiwei and the others also planned to pack up their things and go back, Gu Tianyuan's little face was even more broken.
"I'll be alone from now on! I suddenly feel that this life is so boring." He complained sadly to Gu Caiwei.
Gu Caiwei raised her eyebrows. "Didn't you live alone in the past? You and Ayi have been on the mend for less than half a year. How can you be so affectionate and not willing to part?"
"How do I know this? Anyway, since he left, I feel deserted around me and lonely in my heart. It's very uncomfortable. Thinking that I won't be able to talk and play with him happily in the next three years, I It's even more uncomfortable." Gu Tianyuan muttered in a low voice.
Gu Caiwei hooked the corner of her mouth. "If you really think so, then it's easy to solve this matter."
"Sister, do you have a solution?" Gu Tianyuan's eyes brightened suddenly.
Gu Caiwei nodded. "It's fine if you stay too? Didn't he follow Fufengzi? You just follow Ou Shenzi!"
Gu Tianyuan's expression changed. "Sister, you cheated on me!"
"I'm serious." Gu Caiwei replied solemnly, "Look, Goro, you, and Ayi, the three of you came here together, but now, Goro and Ayi are staying here, but you are alone. Follow us back to enjoy the glory and wealth. No matter how I think about it, I feel that there is no way to explain it to my uncle when I go back. So why don't you stay, and take this opportunity to learn more from Ou Shenzi. By the way, the mine doctors here are not good Gao, if you really encounter any serious trouble, you can also help out."
"Sister, I learned poison!" Gu Tianyuan quickly reminded her.
"Oh, medicine and poison are not separated, I believe in you." Gu Caiwei patted his little head and dragged him to Ou Shenzi.
Ou Shenzi was very happy to accept this little follower who offered to come to his door.
"Thank you, little lady, for your concern! It just so happens that I really feel that one apprentice on hand is not enough! Now you can rest assured that you will put Qingxuanshan people here with me, and I will definitely do my best to forge him into a strong man !"
"Well, he must not be compared to A Yi. He is an uncle." Gu Caiwei said.
"That's needless to say?" Ou Shenzi nodded without thinking, "I am also a senior brother! The people I teach will definitely only be stronger than the ones he taught, and will not be worse!"
When Gu Tianyuan heard this, his shoulders trembled violently.
He can imagine how sad his life will be in the future.
However, since the three little guys had found their homes, Gu Caiwei felt that she was done, she immediately clapped her hands, and headed back home with Du Juanqing in a refreshed outfit.
It's just... When they arrived at the Hou's Mansion, when they saw the room where there were only the two of them, and the chattering Du Yi and Gu Tianyuan who usually surrounded them were gone, Gu Caiwei felt a sense of desolation again.
"Suddenly, I feel that this room is indeed terribly empty!" She sighed lowly.
She was used to having little guys playing around all day long, but now suddenly there was no sound at all, she was not used to it.
"En." Du Juanqing also nodded, "It's too sloppy."
At this moment, a thought popped into Gu Caiwei's mind - how about they have another one?
But as soon as this idea came up, she quickly snapped it back.
Now is not the time to have a baby!She shouldn't even think about it!
At this time, Du Juanqing had already turned to her, and then took out something from his sleeve and handed it to her.
"What is this? A dagger?" Gu Caiwei was startled when she saw this, she quickly took the thing over and found that it was indeed a dagger.
Pulling it away, she suddenly found that this dagger looked roughly the same as the one Du Juanqing gave her back then.But if you take a closer look, you can find that this dagger is made lighter and thinner, and there are a few delicate dark lines engraved on the body of the dagger, which is much more expensive than the original one.
Gu Caiwei opened her eyes wide in surprise, and Du Juanqing coughed twice. "Your one was broken, so I asked someone to give you a new one. It used the best iron ore dug out from the mine, and I asked Ou Shenzi to mine it."
Gu Caiwei's heart felt sweet all of a sudden.
She hurriedly put the dagger close to her body, then stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the cheek again. "Thank you."
"That's it?" The man raised his eyebrows, obviously dissatisfied with this superficial kiss.
When Gu Caiwei saw this, she smiled. "Of course it won't stop. I still have more tricks to come, but I don't know if you can resist, Lord Changning?"
Du Juanqing's eyes flashed immediately, and a look of color appeared on his face. "This Marquis has a lot of experience and knowledge, and I have never encountered anything that I can't resist. Whatever skills you have, just use them!"
"Okay!"
Gu Caiwei responded readily, and immediately flew towards him happily.
Du Juanqing also hugged her, and the two of them fell on the bed together and rolled into a ball.
Since then, the Hou Mansion has been terribly clean.but.Du Juanqing and Gu Caiwei gritted their teeth and persisted, and gradually got used to it.
Not to mention, they still have a lot of things on hand now: for example, they came to Yongxing County with Wu Chongxun and others, and so many of them lived in the Hou Mansion together. This will inevitably make interested people seize the opportunity to stuff people inside.Otherwise, Wu Chongxun and Wu Yanji wouldn't have been able to transfer the guards from the Hou's mansion so easily that day, and then a group of them would have threatening Gu Caiwei in the back garden.
Now that those two people have been driven away, they will naturally clear out the idlers in the Hou's mansion.These are all Gu Caiwei's affairs.
As for Du Juanqing, he began to find out and pull out all the eyeliners who had been planted in the mine and even in the entire Yongxing County.Then, taking advantage of the iron mines under his own name, he hurriedly had people refine a batch of weapons, and then began to recruit manpower, and asked Qin Shiliu Langjun and others to help organize people into teams and train them strictly to strengthen their strength. The defense of the Hou Mansion, the mines, and the county towns.
These things are extremely important, but also extremely trivial. They work together in a division of labor, and they have been busy for two full months before they see results.
At this time, Wu Chongxun and Wu Yanji brothers were finally sent back to Chang'an.Soon, Chang'an also returned the first batch of news——
"Seeing the crazy Wu Chongxun brothers, Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi were really furious. At that time, they arrested a few guards who went with them and tortured them, trying to force them to tell the truth. But those guards were also crazy. Well, several people were beaten to death without any explanation. Then, they set their sights on Wu Chongxun's two concubines... They are not crazy, and they all know something, but what about those two people? They don't know the fact of going crazy, what they said is that those two people were eating, drinking and having fun all the way to hold us back. Then...then the result of these people can be imagined." Du Juan told Gu Caiwei the news in every detail .
Gu Caiwei pursed her lips. "I'm afraid these beauties will not survive."
First of all, the Wu family will definitely marry the royal family and nobles in the future, so they will absolutely suppress the news that their own males have not given up.Therefore, these concubines who have witnessed Wu Chongxun's desolation must be eliminated.Secondly, since Wu Yanji and Wu Yanji ended up in this situation, Wu Sansi and his brothers would definitely blame them for not taking good care of them.Therefore, they are destined not to live long.
really.
After another half a month, there was another news from Chang'an City—those beauties were either sick or injured, thrown into wells or hit walls, and all died cleanly.
However, these are all the affairs of the Wu family. Even if outsiders find that people died too densely and strangely, it is not convenient for them to intervene.
But then, the Wu family extended its claws to the families of the Du family, the Qin family, and the two servants of the household military department.
Why did they all go to Yongxing County together, and in the end nothing happened to anyone else, only them, the male from the Wu family had an accident?Moreover, they still had many disasters along the way, and they didn't enjoy many good days!The Wu family was very dissatisfied.
Moreover, Wu Chongxun and Wu Yanji secretly went to Yongxing County to look for iron ore under their orders in private. Hidden iron ore, they almost wanted to throw wine to celebrate, but in the end their children went crazy!It was sent back!
No matter how they think about it, they feel that there is something tricky here.
But we can send more people to Yongxing County, and as many people as we send out, we will be blocked back—Du Juanqing and the Qin family have teamed up, and have taken the time to train a group of people to guard outside the city gate, and they are dealing with the Wu family. !
Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi became more and more angry.Old and new grudges welled up in their hearts, they couldn't touch Du Juan now, so they could only attack their relatives who stayed in Chang'an City.
Therefore, in the following time, they created incidents countless times, fabricated evidence to make false accusations, and even instigated the impeachment of Yu Shishu, tossing all the members of Lai Guogong's mansion, Qin family, and Gu family.
It's winter now.
The winter in Yongxing County is not as cold as that in Chang'an, but it is more humid and cold here, and the temperature in the mountains is much lower than that outside, so it has not been long since winter, and there have been several snowfalls on the mountains, thick Snow covered the entire mine tightly.
In this case, it is impossible to continue mining.
Du Juanqing asked the absentees to pay each of them a dime for their hard work, and let them go home for the winter and the New Year.As for the swordsmiths who continued to stay at the foot of the mountain, he told Du Junhong and the others to continue to treat them attentively. There must be no shortage of wine and meat every day, and there is also a sufficient supply of charcoal fire.
Although the weather is getting colder and colder day by day, the big guy's heart is still warm.
In a blink of an eye, the day of Xiaonian came.
Even though it was a young year, the other master swordsmiths had rested, but Fu Fengzi and Ou Shenzi still insisted on making iron in the mine.
These two senior brothers have competed with each other since they were young, and now that they are in the same place, they have brought out the spirit of pinching each other to the extreme.Especially now that they are still in the mine, and there are inexhaustible iron ore everywhere around them, the two of them are like little mice falling into a rice bowl, and they are more and more at ease, so they both exert themselves to the maximum. With his own ability, he only wanted to use a good weapon to convince the opponent.
Naturally, they didn't want to come to Hou's mansion for the festival, neither could Du Yi and Gu Tianyuan.Gu Tianci still had to accompany Du Shishilang to stand firm in the mine and couldn't return.
But if people don't come back, this festival will still be celebrated.
According to the rules of Yongxing County, Gu Caiwei had someone catch a large tank of live fish and slaughtered a pig a few days ago.After she had the fish dissected and cleaned, she took off the fish meat and chopped it into pieces, added a little fat meat and a few eggs in the middle, kneaded it together to get the tendons, and steamed it in a pan to make fish cakes.Pork is minced and kneaded into balls, rolled around with glutinous rice, and then steamed over water for a stick of incense, the balls will be round, and the glutinous rice around them will be steamed more than doubled , fragrant, soft and bright, dotted on the pink meatballs, the red and white are very beautiful.
For the remaining pork chops, she picked up a large knife and chopped them into small pieces, and stewed a large pot of lotus root pork ribs soup with lotus root, a specialty of Yongxing County.The lotus root is soft and waxy, served with crispy pork ribs, even the stewed soup is sweet and delicious, with its own meaty aroma and the fragrance of lotus root, the taste is strong but not greasy at all, on the contrary it is refreshing and moistens the throat. In the kitchen, one person secretly drank a large bowl.
"How is it? Is it delicious?" Gu Caiwei asked Du Juanqing with a smile.
Du Juanqing finished the last sip of soup, took out his handkerchief to wipe the corners of his mouth politely, and then nodded: "It's delicious."
Gu Caiwei laughed so much that her eyes were bent into two crescents.
"I told you earlier that the lotus root on Jingzhou Road is the best. There are soft and glutinous ones, and some are crispy. Crispy stir-fries and cold dishes are the best, and soft and glutinous stews are the best. Stewed with pork ribs, the taste is absolutely amazing! I have fried diced lotus root for you before, and also chilled lotus root cubes. Today I have the opportunity to stew pork ribs and lotus root soup. What do you think? Fresh lotus root is better than all the way The ones that have been delayed for a long time on the way to Chang'an are more delicious, right?"
Du Junqing nodded. "You're right. I used to think that the food in Chang'an City was good, but now that I've eaten these, I realize that the so-called delicacies that were served to me before were mediocre."
Even, he didn't touch pork at all before, but now he can eat a few bites when he brings it to her.Then he discovered that the pork was ready, and it seemed to be quite delicious!
"That's it!" Gu Caiwei became more and more proud, "Except for dried vegetables, most of the delicacies in this world can't escape the word "fresh". Therefore, digging out the place of origin and eating it is the most authentic way of eating, and it is also a good way to eat ingredients. The greatest respect. I have no other wish in this life, I just want to wait until I have saved enough money, and then travel and eat all over the world!"
"Well, I'll be with you." Du Juanqing said immediately.
Gu Caiwei immediately nodded happily. "Of course. Even if you don't agree, I will drag you along!"
The corner of Gu Caiwei's mouth curled up instantly, and she smiled lightly.
The two of them got together and talked in a low voice, while Gu Caiwei continued to instruct them to prepare other things.After all, considering that most of them were from Chang'an, she also made a lot of cakes according to the northern customs.
Before I knew it, things were all over the table.
However, before the things were finished, the two servants of the Ministry of Military Affairs rushed into the kitchen before they could put them out!
"Master Hou, you must save us!"
After these two people broke in, they locked Du Juanqing's location at a glance, and rushed over to hold him back.
Du Juan was startled. "Why are you two doing this?"
"The Wu family and the Wu family have already targeted our family members, and now they are all attacking them!"
The Minister of Household Department whispered, hurriedly took out a letter from his arms and handed it to him.
The Minister of War also took out his own letter and handed it over.
Du Juanqing and Gu Caiwei hurriedly took one of them and looked at it, and they both sank down.
"Wu is really going too far!" Gu Caiwei sneered, "We provoked the matter, and it is enough for them to deal with us. Why do you involve other irrelevant people? They robbed you in the first place." Credit, you haven't settled accounts with them yet, and they still have the face to seek your family's affairs?"
"Isn't it?" Without the Wu family's eyeliner, the servant of the household department also let go, and he cursed, "The surname Wu has never been kind. He only knows how to ask others, but never gives. They have already taken credit for their previous achievements." It's on me, I really thought they caught it with their own real skills! But now, Mr. Wu family has gone crazy, they think we are your accomplices, and they think we are not doing enough to protect them, so they naturally blame us We're coming up."
"It's just that if they blame us, let's blame them. Why should we spread our anger on my family's old, weak, women and children? My family is innocent!" The Minister of the Ministry of War also whispered.
It was a big holiday, but they received a distress letter from their family members. It is conceivable how bad their mood was.
Gu Caiwei briefly read the letter in her hand, her heart sank.
At first glance, this matter was written by the surname Wu.It was even arranged by the surname Wu to send the letter to these two people at this time.They just want to stimulate them and disgust them, so that they can't even live this year!
After all, it was already deep winter, and all the post horses of the imperial court had rested.All letters will not be delivered until after the year.In other words - the letter sent from Chang'an City years ago ends here, they want to know the next situation of the family?Wait until next spring!
After the beginning of spring, it would be good to continue sending letters from the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.Then the road was still difficult to walk, and after a few more delays, it was thankful that Er Yue could deliver the letter to them.
In the middle, waiting for a month or two, wouldn't it torture people to death?
It was no wonder that the two servants were in such a bad mood.
Since the two of them were able to be sent to Yongxing County by various ministries to see the mines, and the Shangguan arranged for them to stay here for a long time, they knew that their backgrounds were not very good.Without the support of aristocratic families behind them, they worked hard for many years before they finally climbed to the position of servants.Originally, at their age, they no longer expected to continue to climb up. The position of Shang Shu was destined to be the same as their colleagues who were in the position of servants, but who came from a century-old family.The reason why they chose to come to Mining Town is just to earn more credit and benefit their children and grandchildren.This is also the reason why they indulged Wu Chongxun brothers so much in the beginning.
In the end, they didn't expect that they had worked so hard to give in for so long, but what they got in the end was such an ending!
They regret it to death!
When Gu Caiwei saw this, she immediately crumpled up the letter in her hand, threw it into the stove and burned it.
"What are you doing? This is the last letter from my family!"
When the Minister of the Ministry of War saw it, his face immediately changed drastically, and he wanted to rush over to pick up the letter.
Du Ren quickly dragged him back. "Liu Shilang, please be calm and calm. Since our wife did this, there must be a reason for her to do so. You should listen to her explain the situation before getting angry."
"What can she say to stop me from getting angry? Can he go back and ask for help now to save my family from disaster?" the servant of the Ministry of War growled.
"We can indeed." Du Juan responded calmly.
The Minister of the Ministry of War was full of anger, and he turned his head in disbelief.
At this time, the household servant's eyes widened, and he was so excited that he grabbed Du Juanqing's sleeve. "What did you say, Marquis Changning? Can you really do it?"
Du Juan nodded. "Ma'am, since you did this, it's up to you to talk about it!"
The two servants hurriedly cast their hopeful eyes on Gu Caiwei in unison.
Gu Caiwei also said: "Actually, we have already received a letter early this morning, it was sent to us from Chang'an, and it is also about what the Wu family did to our family."
Of course they know this.The Wu family dealt with people from the Duke of Lai's mansion at the beginning, and they directly planned to make them lose their title of Duke of Lai!However, only two days after they made their move, they suddenly stopped. The specific reason is unknown.In private, they heard that it seemed that Wu Chengsi fell ill when he just decided to attack;Wu Chongxun and Wu Yanji, two patients whose physical condition had stabilized, became extremely manic overnight, almost demolishing half of the mansion.
The Wu family was frightened and frightened, and urgently called for people to stop.Then, they're all good!
Therefore, the Wu family completely regarded the Du family as their nemesis, and did not dare to attack the Du family indiscriminately.But how did they swallow this breath?So they did a lot of tricks in private, which was enough to make the Du family tired of coping.
Du Juanqing and Gu Caiwei were naturally very concerned about their own affairs.
"Just what does this have to do with us?" The Minister of the Ministry of War was very anxious and couldn't help asking again.
Gu Caiwei said: "This letter was sent to us by Mr. Zhang, and there is a note written by Mr. Di Ge inside."
"Master Zhang? And the youngest Di Ge?"
Hearing these two titles, the two servants immediately lifted their spirits.
Gu Caiwei nodded, and immediately called Liuli to get the letter. "Please take a look, both of you."
The two servants reached out to pick it up together, but immediately paused.The two looked at each other, but they didn't want to give in - they both wanted to read the contents of the letter first.So after the two confronted each other for a while, they simply held the envelope with one hand, and then opened the letter together, and showed the contents on it together.
After reading the letter, and then reading the note from Di Ge, the anxiety on their faces was immediately swept away, and both of them let out a long sigh of relief.
Quickly let go and handed the letter back to Liuli, and the two of them looked up at Du Juanqing and Gu Caiwei and his wife together, their expressions became a little embarrassed.
"That... Marquis of Changning, madam, we..."
"Needless to say." Gu Caiwei immediately waved her hand, "We fully understand the feelings of the two of you. When we first learned that our family members were being bullied by the Wu family, we were also very anxious, so we don't blame you. But now, there is Di Elder Ge and Master Zhang are protecting your family, even Her Majesty the Empress has to give them a little bit of sympathy, your family will definitely be safe and sound."
"That's nature, that's nature."
The two servants hurriedly wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads, and then they were all relieved and smiled happily.
They hurriedly adjusted their clothes, and respectfully stepped forward to salute Du Junqing: "Marquis Changning, you saved the life of a certain family member, and you can be said to be the reborn parents of a certain person. From now on, this life of a certain person is yours! In the future, you will have If you need it, just give me an order, and I will definitely go through fire and water, and I will do my best!"
Although they were in the kitchen, their attitudes were extremely devout, and their words were mixed with excitement and gratitude, so they almost took out a heart on the spot and showed it to Du Junqing to show their respect to him.
If it is said that the last time they joined forces to drive Wu Chongxun brothers out of Yongxing County, it is just that they have cultivated a certain tacit understanding invisibly.So this time, Du Juanqing completely subdued their hearts.
Seeing this, Du Juanqing hurried forward to help them both up.
"Please hurry up, both of you! Your official position is higher than mine, and your age is also older than me. How can I afford your big gift? Since God arranged for us to gather here, then this is our destiny." Fate. I have seen your every move these days, and you all seriously want to benefit the people. I admire you from the bottom of my heart. So now, I am just trying my best to make You can continue to work here with peace of mind. It's nothing to worry about, you two don't need to be too polite."
"Marquis Changning, your little effort is nothing less than a kindness of regeneration to us. How can we forget?" Hubu Shilang hurriedly held his hand, and he was so excited that tears were about to come out.
The Minister of the Ministry of War is not much better.
Seeing this, Du Juanqing sighed softly, and could only comfort the two in a low voice, while leading them to the front hall.
Next, they must have a lot to say.
Watching the figures of these people go away, Gu Caiwei's shoulders collapsed. "Okay, now the people in Yongxing County are all gathered together!"
Next, they can show their hands and feet with confidence!
"Miss, you are amazing!"
Seeing this, Liuli quickly gave Gu Caiwei a thumbs up.
"But..." After a pause, she couldn't help asking in a low voice, "Lady, you weren't afraid that they would find out that the letter was fake just now? These two people have had contact with Mr. Di Ge and Mr. Zhang. They must all know the handwriting of old Prime Minister Di Ge."
"Don't worry, they won't find out if they are in a hurry." Gu Caiwei waved her hand indifferently, "At this time, they will only see what they want to see, and they will also recognize what they want to recognize. The rest, they I can't hold anything in my mind anymore."
As she spoke, she smiled again. "Besides, although my letter is fake, the content inside is absolutely true. It's just that the surname Wu is too treacherous, knowing that we will correspond with Di Aweng and the others in private, so secretly The letter was stolen. I trust Di Aon, he will not let us have any worries here."
"But even so, when the letter from Master Zhang and the others really arrives next year, this matter will have to be covered!" Liuli whispered.
"Then we'll talk about it later." Gu Caiwei was still very calm, even with a slight smile on the corner of her mouth, "Besides, even if they really find out that they have been deceived, the person they should look for is Du Junqing. This matter has something to do with me." How much does it matter? At that time, I just need to watch the excitement!"
"Ah! Ahh!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Du Juanqing, who was chatting enthusiastically with the two servants, couldn't help itching his nose and sneezed several times.
Seeing this, the two servants quickly asked him with concern. "How are you, Lord Marquis? Are you sick?"
"It's okay." Du Juan rubbed his nose, "Someone dug a hole for me again, and I'm smiling smugly now!"
As he spoke, the corner of his lips curled up, and he even smiled!
