Warm spring enters Hou's door

Chapter 153 Du Juanqing's Bad Taste

Just as Du Junhong and Yan Shisanniang were sent away on the front foot, there was another news from Chang'an on the back foot——

Zhang Jianzhi and other officials who overthrew Wu Zhou and supported the new emperor's ascension to the throne were not reused by the new emperor.The new emperor still relies heavily on Wu Sansi and others, and Wu Sansi has a close relationship with Wei Hou, Zhaoyi Shangguan Wan'er and others.These people took turns blowing wind in Xindi's ears, blowing Xindi, who was originally unstable, tottering.In just three months, Zhang Jianzhi was fired!

When Du Juanqing heard the news, he was so angry that he smashed a table.

"Foolish Lord! Faint Lord!"

He gritted his teeth and roared, and directly scolded the new emperor bloody.

"I said a long time ago that a person like him is not worthy of being an emperor at all! Instead of letting him inherit the throne, it is better to let Princess Taiping come! Princess Taiping is more emperor-like than him! He has just sat on the throne, ass Before he could sit still, he began to rule out dissidents and suppress Zhongliang, just listen to slander, this kind of person will not end well! If this trend continues, he will be able to destroy himself without going against the grain for a few years! "

Gu Caiwei sat aside, she also had a gloomy face.

"Master Zhang was selected by Di Aweng himself, and then he was promoted little by little. This man is upright, courageous and resourceful. If it wasn't for him, he would only survive until the end due to his cowardly virtue. Only when Her Majesty dies is she qualified to inherit the throne—no, maybe before the Queen dies, the Zhang brothers will be able to kill him. Now he won the throne for nothing, but in the end he favors those who have not made any contribution for no reason However, I squeezed out loyal ministers and good generals... I regret it. At the beginning, I should have provided Princess Taiping with more weapons, and let the princess directly enter the palace, followed by a praying mantis, cicada and oriole, and directly wiped out their family!"

"Let's forget it! The princess is not the queen after all, she is not as cruel as the queen, and she can't do anything to harm her brothers." Du Juanqing sighed helplessly, "This is the end of the matter, we can only keep a respectful distance from everything in Chang'an. Don't go back until the new emperor kills himself."

"That's for sure." Gu Caiwei nodded quickly.

Having said that, she couldn't help but let out a long breath. "However, Mr. Zhang's move to support the new emperor has helped us a lot. Now that the empress has retired to the deep palace to take care of her life, she has no power in her hands. She can never do anything to me. The new emperor is cowardly. , anyone can manipulate him. Princess Taiping asked him to allow us to stay here to continue the political iron mine from the very beginning, and he agreed. After that, we can stay here safely."

Du Juan nodded. "Right now, this is still a piece of pure land."

It's just that he thought about it, and he felt uncomfortable no matter what.

"No, I still need to send a letter to Mr. Zhang to ask about the situation!"

However, after his letter was sent out, after waiting for three full months, Yan Dudu of Han Haijun in the middle had already replied to his family's marriage proposal. Gu Caiwei prepared the dowry again and asked Du Ren to send it to Tingzhou and leave It took a month before Master Zhang's reply arrived.

Du Juanqing's letter was only two thin sheets of paper, but Zhang Xiangye's reply letter was a thick one.Du Juanqing carefully read the letter twice before he raised his reddish eyes to look at Gu Caiwei: "Mr. Zhang has completely despaired of the new emperor, and he has written a letter to ask him to return home. His Majesty named him the governor of Xiangzhou. He is now Already on the way back to Xiangzhou.

Gu Caiwei scoffed lightly. "It's good to tell the old man to return to his hometown, at least he can end up with a good death. It's not bad."

"If you are afraid, there will be people who will not let you go." Du Juan said in a deep voice, "Also, Mr. Zhang also told me to be careful in the letter. Wu Sansi holds grudges very much, and now he is liquidating all those who have relations with him in the court. People who are celebrating the festival. My quarrel with them will only be more than Zhang Xiangye's, not less, and sooner or later they will settle the score on me."

"Then let them come! As long as they dare to move a finger at us, let's see if I don't make them die! They don't remember the previous lessons, right?" Gu Caiwei sneered.

However, it turns out that the surnamed Wu is so complacent that his scars have healed and he has forgotten the pain!
Fast forward to the end of the year, Du Yi and Yan Shisanniang's marriage was completely settled, and the wedding date was also set - in June of the next year.

Tingzhou is more than 3000 miles away from Yongxing County. The newlyweds have to arrive in Yongxing County in time for their wedding, and they have to leave in February anyway.But the weather at the border is extremely cold, and it was still frozen when I showed up in February!
After thinking about it, Du Juanqing felt uneasy, and planned to ask Du Ren to take people to Tingzhou to prepare in advance, so that after the Chinese New Year, he would escort the team of newlyweds all the way back to Yongxing County.

When Du Yi heard the news, he rushed to recommend himself. "Father, mother, let me go!"

Du Juan raised his eyebrows. "You want to go?"

Du Yi frantically nodded like a chicken pecking rice. "I've grown up to this age, and I've always heard about how vast and magnificent the border is, but I've never seen it with my own eyes. I'm afraid I won't be qualified to see it in the future. If that's the case, you guys will give me a chance this time, and let me take advantage of it. Let's take a good look at this wedding reception!"

"Are you really just planning to go over and have a look?" Du Juanqing didn't believe that he was so obedient.

Du Yi stuck out his tongue. "Of course, if I can, I will also learn martial arts with the soldiers in the army. But I won't do other things, and no one will let me mess around. Dad, just don't worry!"

The more he said that, the more worried Du Juan was.

He fixed his eyes on his son: "Are you just determined to go?"

"Yes!" Du Yi nodded without hesitation.

Du Juan waved his hand. "In that case, then you go!"

"Thank you daddy!" Du Yi was overjoyed for a moment, quickly saluted him, and ran out quickly, he was going to pack his luggage!

When Gu Caiwei saw this, she couldn't help asking: "Since you are reluctant, why did you agree? Although this kid has a stubborn temper, he still listens to us. Especially you, the person he respects the most in his heart is actually you. As long as you don't agree, he will definitely not force it."

"The child is old, I can't control him all the time. Besides, he is going to have a family soon, so he should make his own decision." Du Juanqing only said in a low voice.

Gu Caiwei heard a bit of loss and helplessness in his voice.

She couldn't help but sighed inwardly, and slowly walked over to hold his hand. "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Ayi has grown up to such an age, he has suffered a lot, but he has also had many adventures. God has always treated him favorably. Although it is unlikely that he will spend the rest of his life in peace and stability in the future, but Anyway, live well, this is absolutely guaranteed. We can't ask too much."

"I know." Du Juan nodded, "So, now I'm going to let go."

this let go...

Why did she hear a sense of sadness in her heart when she heard it?

Gu Caiwei looked over in surprise, and saw Du Junqing smile at her: "You are right, children and grandchildren have their own blessings. In the past, Ayi was small and weak, and only my uncle could protect him. Actually, think about it, at that time I am only a half-old child, how many times have I been unable to sleep all night, hugging the little him and trying to cry but can't cry? But now, he has grown up, and he is taller and stronger than me back then, He still wants you, me, and Fufengzi to escort him behind him, I believe he can do better than me. I can let go."

Hey!
Although he spoke freely and freely, the helplessness in his words made her feel very distressed.

Gu Caiwei held his hand tightly. "Now we just have to trust Ayi."

"Of course. He is my son, and I have always believed in him." Du Juan nodded firmly, but slowly closed his eyes, and leaned his head on her shoulder.

When Gu Caiwei saw this, she could only reach out and rub the top of his head, comforting him with her tenderness.

Here Du Juanqing was so reluctant to let go, but still gritted his teeth and decided to let go, while Du Yi over there was already insane with joy!

He packed up a few pieces of clothes excitedly, then went into the sword-making room, and packed all his weapons-making tools.If it weren't for some things that were too heavy and too heavy to move, he really wished he could move the entire sword-making room away!

Gu Tianyuan has always been inseparable from him.Seeing this, he immediately came to Gu Caiwei: "Sister, I want to go with Ayi!"

"It's up to you." Gu Caiwei knew that he would say that, so she didn't even bother to say a word of nonsense, so she just waved her hand to let him go.

Gu Tianyuan immediately cheered, and hurried to pack his things.

The two little guys packed everything up in half a day, and then headed for Tingzhou with a mighty force.

Although after worshiping Fufengzi and Ou Shenzi as teachers, the two of them seldom go home.But every now and then, they would still come back to have a meal and play with the little lady and the others.So now that these two people left, Gu Caiwei suddenly felt that the house was empty, and felt very uncomfortable.

Especially when it was the end of the new year, Gu Caiwei felt even more uncomfortable because of the lack of two living people in the family.

"Why do I feel more and more like an old woman?" She turned to Du Juanqing and asked helplessly.

Du Juan nodded. "You are already the mother of three children, and you will be promoted to be a aunt soon. If you are not an old woman, who is an old woman?"

Gu Caiwei's shoulders suddenly collapsed, and she was hit hard. "I'm obviously only in my early 20s, how did I become an old woman?"

Seeing her sad face, Du Juan knew enough was enough, he quickly said: "I am older than you, if you are an old woman, I will be a bad old man, we are a perfect match."

"Who wants to be a natural match with you? Anyway, I don't want to be an old woman!" Gu Caiwei snorted softly.

After thinking about it, she clapped her hands. "I've decided! When Ayi is married, I'll hand over all the family affairs to her, and let her take care of those messy things! I just let go and go out to have a good tour of the mountains and rivers. So It's been many years, I haven't gone out and wandered for a long time!"

"Okay, remember to take me with you." Du Juanqing said immediately.

Gu Caiwei glanced back at him, and the man immediately put on a straight face. "You don't want to leave me and go out to play by yourself? That's not possible! I've been busy taking care of Ayi these years, and I haven't had a good time to relax. Now that Ayi is older, since I have decided to let go, then this It's time for him to handle the mine, too. I just took this opportunity to relax and indulge myself."

This guy's skin is getting thicker and thicker!
Gu Caiwei was amazed that he could say such shameless words in such a serious manner.

"It depends on my mood then!" She said lazily.

Thinking about it carefully, since meeting him, she has completely let go of her yearning for freedom and is completely tied to him.This bundle is all these years.

For a long time, she almost forgot that she was the one who followed her grandfather all over the Tang Dynasty since she was a child.

But hearing what she said, Du Juanqing's eyes darkened for a moment, and then he did something that left Gu Caiwei stunned——

The man suddenly stretched out his arms and hugged her waist!
Forget it, he leaned his face against her, and then shouted like a fool: "I don't care! Anyway, I'm going to go with you! You don't want to leave me alone to go out to play!"

The corners of Gu Caiwei's mouth twitched: "How old are you? The eldest son is about to get married, and you still behave like a child who hasn't grown up. Do you want to be ashamed?"

"Is face useful in front of you?" Du Juan asked coolly.

Gu Caiwei was speechless and turned away.

And next, Du Juan kept his word, so he just stayed by Gu Caiwei's side!When Gu Caiwei ate, he ate with him, and when Gu Caiwei handled the chores at home, he also followed.Even the affairs in the mine, he asked someone to bring them over, and he sat beside Gu Caiwei to deal with them.

After a long time, everyone in the house will know - the Duke and his wife had a quarrel!It seems that it is the Duke's fault, he is now trying his best to please his wife!

Even the Qi family came to teach Gu Caiwei a lesson after hearing the news. "You are all old couples, do you still need to quarrel to this extent now? Don't forget, the son-in-law is also a state prince, and he has a reputation in this mine. If you tell him not to step down in public like this, it is not harming him. Hurry up and settle the matter!"

Ok!

In this way, his image of Du Juanqing as an affectionate man was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but she became a vexatious little woman!

Gu Caiwei was so angry that she turned around and beat Du Juan violently.

However, with his gags, Gu Caiwei felt a little more at ease, and this year is not so lonely.

In the blink of an eye, after a year, Gu Caiwei began to be busy arranging Du Yi's marriage.

Cleaning up the mansion, repairing the new house, and many other miscellaneous things kept her busy.

In this way, several months passed in the blink of an eye, and Du Yi had already returned with his new daughter-in-law on a tall horse!

On this day, Duke Ning's mansion was very lively.

Countless guests came from all over the place, filling the Duke's Mansion to the brim.

Gu Caiwei's eyes were wet when she saw a couple of newlyweds walk into the house and be sent to the Qinglu after praying to heaven and earth three times.

Although Du Yi was not her own, this child was brought up by her alone.So even if it didn't crawl out of her stomach, in her heart it was no different from her own.It can even be said that Du Yi's weight in her heart is heavier than that of the little lady and Xiao Lang.

Now, seeing that the child who was pulled out by herself is married to a daughter-in-law, and she is going to enter the bridal chamber tonight, and she will soon add a bunch of grandchildren to her, she just feels that her chest is full, and she can't describe it My love is so bulging, it's almost overflowing!
"I suddenly felt that as long as Ayi and the others are doing well, it doesn't matter if I'm an old woman." She couldn't help but whispered to Liuli, "Tell me, I changed my mind so quickly, am I really old?"

Liuli covered her lips and smiled. "My lady, you just like Shizi too much. For Shizi, you are willing to give anything. Of course, Shizi also respects you very much. He deserves your love."

Gu Caiwei nodded. "I think so too."

The two were talking and walking among the guests, when Gu Caiwei suddenly heard a male guest slap the table and stood up: "Mr. Ning, I respect you for this glass! Thank you for providing us Han Haijun all these years. With so many elite weapons, and talents like Mr. Du Wulang. And His Royal Highness... Thanks to him this time, we were able to win such a big victory, and the border of Tingzhou will be safe and sound in the next few years! "

Hearing this, Gu Caiwei was shocked and her heart beat faster. She quickly turned around and looked at the official groom, Du Yi, who was standing in front of the guests.

At this moment, Du Juanqing also held the wine glass and turned to look at Du Yi.

But Du Yi's body was visible to the naked eye, and he forced a smile: "General Li, you think too highly of me, how can I be so good? In fact, the real credit lies with you. It's just a little bit of help. Come, I respect you with this cup!"

But this general Li Shen is a real person.

He responded solemnly: "My son, you are very powerful! This time you and Gu Langjun arrived in Tingzhou, but you still did not fear the severe cold even in the icy and snowy environment, and counted all the weapons in the armory. Many other swordsmith masters All the problems you didn’t find were discovered by you! That’s all, on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, the governor originally wanted to invite you to drink and celebrate the new year, but you just walked halfway when you heard that the Turks were attacking. Then , the two of you immediately turned around and rushed to the battlefield, and in the end you led the Modao team to the forefront, killing the Turkic army that was about to attack!"

"This is not enough. After killing the Turkic army and fleeing, you left the Modao team and led a small team of 20 people to go deep alone, chasing the fleeing Turkic army and killing them all the way. The Turkic prince who led the army this time was captured alive! This prince was born of the Yan family and is the next generation king of the Turks. Therefore, after hearing the news, the Turks came to peace talks on their own initiative, claiming that they were willing to surrender to my great Tang Nasui. As long as we return their great prince to them!"

General Li Shen became more and more excited as he talked. In the end, he couldn't hold the wine glass in his hand, so he just barked his teeth and claws, and continued to tell the guests about the situation at that time.

"We have been guarding the border for many years. Although we have captured many Turkic generals, Yan Dudu also captured the Turkic king uncle last time. However, there are very few Turkic princes, let alone the eldest prince!"

"Isn't it? When we learned the identity of the captured man, we were all shocked! Dudu Yan was shocked!"

"At that time, the barracks was full of joy and excitement, Dudu Yan wanted to keep the son by his side and never let him back!"

……

There were quite a few people who came to see off the wedding this time, and most of them were Yan Dudu's confidantes.These are rough people who are used to saying what is on their minds.In addition, after drinking a few bowls of wine now, and being provoked by General Li Shen again, all of them were immediately overjoyed, and you told me everything about the situation at that time.

When the other guests heard about this, they were surprised at first, and then congratulated Du Juanqing and Gu Caiwei. "Congratulations to Mrs. Ning, Mrs. Mrs. Guo, you really raised a good son!"

Du Juan's expression was as usual, and he responded slowly to the guests' congratulations.

However, Du Yi clearly noticed that his eyes had become gloomy, almost like thunder and lightning!
He quickly turned his eyes to Gu Caiwei for help, only to find that Gu Caiwei also looked at him with displeasure.

He flinched immediately and lowered his head quietly.

After responding to the last guest's congratulations, Du Juanqing walked slowly to Du Yi's side: "Today is your big day, I don't care about it with you. Right now, you should hurry up and entertain guests!"

"Yes, I understand!" Du Yi hurriedly nodded, but his heart hung higher and higher.

Next, the Duke's Mansion became more and more lively—since General Li Can blurted out the matter, it was like a dike that had been re-opened, and the flood that was blocked behind the dike came from this opening. As soon as they rushed in, they rushed outward with a clatter.

Gu Caiwei and Du Juanqing knew that after Du Yi and Gu Tianyuan arrived in Tingzhou, they really hadn't been idle.Dudu Yan originally arranged for them to live in his house, but they only stayed for one night and then they yelled to go to the barracks, and Dudu Yan took them there.Then these two people are like ducks in water!
They honestly checked the weapons at the beginning, but then they began to compete with the soldiers holding the weapons, and in the end even Dudu Yan was not spared!
These two guys turned the barracks upside down, almost no one in the whole barracks could beat them!And after being defeated by them, the soldiers were also convinced, because - after defeating someone, Du Yi would comment on the opponent's shortcomings on the spot and propose ways to correct them.If it can't be corrected, he and Gu Tianyuan will specially modify the opponent's weapon to address this defect, so that they can use external force to make up for the physical deficiency.

They are not squeamish, and they eat and live with everyone.When everyone wakes up in the morning to have sex, they do the same, and they go to bed after everyone goes to bed.Sometimes they also come out to accompany the soldiers on patrol.

How can everyone not like a son who is so down-to-earth and gets along with everyone?

It was precisely because of this that when Du Yi and Gu Tianyuan followed the army to attack the Turkic team with big swords on the day of Xiaonian, no one excluded them.Later, he took his own initiative to lead people in-depth, and a group of people chose to trust him and followed him all the way.

And when the merits and rewards were finally discussed, they claimed that they were not members of the army and should not share the credit, so they left their own share to others.

This move deeply shocked everyone again.In just two or three months, the two of them quickly conquered a large number of hearts.

When Yan Dudu saw this, he was also very happy for this future son-in-law.When Du Yi took Yan Shisanniang on the road and rushed back to Yongxing County to get married, Dudu Yan was in tears.

However, what he cried was not his own daughter, but Du Yi, his son-in-law.

At the end, Gu Caiwei was speechless.

Gu Caiwei and Du Junqing didn't know anything about these things.It is conceivable that Du Yi and the others must have thought of a way to seal the mouths of those people long ago, not allowing them to talk nonsense.

Unexpectedly, this general Li Shen drank too much wine, had no control over his mouth, and then poured out everything that should be poured out and what should not be poured out!

Therefore, after hearing the last word, Du Yi's head almost dropped to his chest.

He didn't dare to look at Gu Caiwei and Du Junqing anymore, so he could only toast to the guests desperately.In the end, he got very drunk and was dragged into the new house by Gu Tianyuan.

Gu Tianyuan's performance was much more normal than Du Yi's.

After stuffing him into the green house, he came out bouncingly: "Sister, brother-in-law, how are you doing? This time we did well in Tingzhou, right? But we have given you a lot of face!"

"Are you giving us face, or are you having fun?" Gu Caiwei asked angrily.

"Of course we had a lot of fun ourselves, but doesn't this ending satisfy you too?" Gu Tianyuan said with a smile, "Besides, since you agreed to let us go in the first place, it means that you agree with us. Going to the battlefield to fight. It’s just Ayi who is a fan of the authorities. He thinks too much, so he thinks you will be angry, and he is so careful to tell those people not to say anything. But he thinks, can he hide such a big matter? ?”

"So, you found a breakthrough from General Li Shen?" Du Juan said solemnly.

Gu Tianyuan was startled. "Brother-in-law, how do you know that Li Shen will be my breakthrough?"

Du Juanqing only glanced at him, but did not speak.Gu Tianyuan sighed: "That's right, I was the one who did this. I know General Li Shen very well. He is also considered courageous and resourceful, but he is very good at drinking. Especially after drinking, once you are in the mood Great, no matter what you ask him, he will tell you. I have played with him in Tingzhou before, and he has wiped out all his old background! So this time, I also thought of using this method as a way for me Great wedding gift for my little nephew."

Having said that, he began to beam with joy again, and kept winking at Gu Caiwei and the others. "How is it? I used this trick well, right? So many guests have heard of Ayi's heroic deeds, and know that brother-in-law, you have no sons! After today, Ayi's reputation will definitely spread, everyone You don’t need to work hard anymore!”

"That's right." Du Juan nodded firmly.

Gu Tianyuan immediately became more proud.He hurriedly looked at Gu Caiwei anxiously: "And me, actually I did pretty well, sister, don't you think so? So, can you tell my father and mother not to rush me to get married Is it? Even though Ayi is younger than me and he is married, I really don’t want to marry a wife and have children so early! I want to play for two more years!”

"Understood!" Gu Caiwei snorted angrily, "Just like you, even if you marry a little lady to enter the house, you will harm her. If that's the case, let's wait until when you can take responsibility, what is the point of mentioning you?" Let's get married!"

"Great! Thank you, sister!" Gu Tianyuan cheered immediately.After achieving his goal, he didn't even bother to deal with Du Juanqing and Gu Caiwei anymore, so he turned around and ran away.

Gu Caiwei couldn't help curling her lips again, she turned to look at Du Juanqing, but saw that Du Juanqing had already turned and left.

Gu Caiwei hurriedly followed, and the two returned to the room together. Gu Caiwei hurriedly drove out the waiters, closed the door with her own hands, and then walked slowly to Du Juanqing's side.

"Now, you can laugh."

Du Juan looked up at her. "Why am I laughing?"

Gu Caiwei pursed her lips: "I've been holding back my laughter until now, don't you feel uncomfortable? You're obviously very happy now!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Du Juanqing finally couldn't help it, and burst out laughing.

His laughter was thick and loud, and once he started laughing, it was continuous, and it took him half a cup of tea to finally stop.

The few Liuli outside were startled when they heard the sound, and Liuli in the middle came over and knocked on the door. Gu Caiwei coughed lightly to tell her that there was no problem, and then Liuli went back to guard the door.

Du Juanqing laughed so hard that he couldn't breathe, but he couldn't stop laughing, so he had no choice but to stop.

After stopping, he quickly took a deep breath, took the tea that Gu Caiwei brought over and ate it all in one go, then fell on her body, and smirked several times.

"Ayi really deserves to be my single-handedly raised son! What he did in Tingzhou this time was beyond my expectation. I didn't expect him to do things so beautifully! So when I heard When they said it, I was stunned, and for a while I didn't know what expression to use to respond."

"So, you kept a straight face for a long time and didn't respond. Later, when the guests came to toast you, you were indifferent. Then Ayi saw it, and thought you were angry, so he didn't dare to look at you!" Gu Caiwei was speechless Shake your head.

Du Juanqing immediately laughed again.

"That boy, despite his height, his kung fu is so much better than mine, but after all, his heart is still not tough enough. So when I saw him look like a frightened little rabbit, I couldn't help it..."

He couldn't help pretending to be deep and continued to put on a show, and then scared Du Yi half to death!
This night, Du Yi's bridal chamber wedding night did not know how tormented it was!

A father who plays this show on his son's wedding day is really worthy of him!

"You, just wait until tomorrow when Ah Yi knows the truth, and see how he hates you!" Gu Caiwei poked him on the temple angrily.

Du Juan shook his head solemnly when he heard the words. "He's not available."

Huh? "Why?"

"Because we have agreed a long time ago that when Ayi's wife gets married, we will leave all the affairs of the house to them? We can put everything down and go wandering!" Du Juanqing declared loudly.

"So, next they will be very busy."
