Warm spring enters Hou's door
Chapter 80
Chapter 80
"Does this need to be said? He has already made his attitude so clear." Gu Caiwei said angrily.
Du Juanqing looked at her fixedly again, as if he wanted to see a flower from her body.
Gu Caiwei lowered her head and continued to eat, so she didn't bother to talk to her.
Facts have proved: Although Gu Caiwei's meal is not very varied, only one meal and one soup, but the taste is really good, not only the old couple of Di Ge are very satisfied, but also several gentlemen and young gentlemen of the Di family They also shook off their cheeks and ate all the food in front of them, leaving no soup left.
By the time we finished eating, it was already evening.Du Juanqing and Gu Caiwei hurriedly got up and said goodbye.
Elder Di Ge and Mrs. Ge are still reluctant to part.
Mrs. Ge took Gu Caiwei's hand, and couldn't get enough of her.Gu Caiwei gave the can of raw peony honey to the old man: "I said, peony is a good thing for replenishing vitality and beautifying the skin. It is suitable for you to drink. You can save this can and drink it slowly. There are several jars, and I will ask someone to bring them later. There will be other flowers blooming soon, and I will also make raw soaked honey for you, and you can eat it with different tastes."
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you!" Mrs. Ge nodded hastily, with a joyful smile on her face.
Elder Di Ge called Gu Tianyuan and Du Yi to him.
"Both of you are good children, smart and clever, and now you have a pair of good elders, and your future is limitless. I am old, and I have nothing to give you, so I will give you a copy of the notebook I left when I was young. Bar!"
As he spoke, he asked his son to fetch two yellowed scrolls from his study, and gave them to Gu Tianyuan, one for each of them.
Gu Tianyuan and Du Yi were very honest in front of Mr. Di Ge.When they got the things, the two young gentlemen were also very excited, and quickly and carefully hugged the scroll in their arms, for fear that they would accidentally lose it.
As for Du Junqing...
Elder Di Ge explained to him in a meaningful way: "Young man, the old man said, keep it in mind!"
"Thank you Mr. Ge, this junior will remember." Du Juan nodded quickly.
Old man Di Ge waved his hands with a smile and sent them away.
All the way back, Du Juanqing kept his face cold and silent.When he returned to Hou's Mansion, he just got off his horse and pulled Gu Caiwei who got out of the car, and dragged her directly to the backyard.
"Father!" Seeing this, Du Yi's face changed with worry, and he quickly yelled and wanted to chase after him.
But Gu Tianyuan pulled him back. "What are you in a hurry for? The two of them will be fine."
Du Yi turned his head and stared at him. "Is that your sister?"
"Of course it is!" Gu Tianyuan nodded, "It's because I know she's my dear sister, so I'm not in a hurry. Because I know her—your father can't do anything to her at all!"
Du Yi's eyes immediately became extremely complicated.
Although seeing Du Juanqing being so rude to Gu Caiwei just now, he felt very uncomfortable.But why when Gu Tianyuan said that Du Juanqing couldn't do anything to Gu Caiwei at all, not only did he not feel relieved, but even more so?
In fact, he really hoped that his father could really do something to Gu Caiwei.That way, she won't run away when she feels like it.
But he also knew in his heart that Gu Tianyuan was right.
As a result, his mood immediately dropped.
When Gu Tianyuan saw this, he immediately turned his gaze, and came over to pat him on the shoulder cheerfully: "Nephew, you don't need to be so pessimistic. Don't you just want to keep my sister? As long as you Give me this book in your hand, and I will help you!"
Du Yi looked back alertly. "You will be so good?"
"Do you know how much the old Di Ge's handwritten letter can be sold in the market? For the sake of money, I am willing to sell my sister!" Gu Tianyuan replied straightforwardly.
The corner of Du Yi's mouth curled up in response. "Do you think I will believe you? You siblings are like loach, slippery, and I won't be fooled by you again. I also believe in my father, he must have his own way of!"
After that, he hugged the letter in his arms tightly and left.
Seeing him running away in a hurry, Gu Tianyuan couldn't help but smack his lips. "The big nephew's reaction is getting faster and faster, and it's getting more and more fun. It's really interesting!"
But it was said that Gu Caiwei was brought back to his study by Du Juanqing, and then Du Juanqing let go.
"What is your relationship with Mr. Di Ge? Or, how much relationship do you have in the capital?" Du Juan asked coldly.
Gu Caiwei smiled lightly. "Everything about me, Lord Hou, haven't you already sent someone to check it? I'm afraid you know me better than me now, so what else can I say? You just go and see what my subordinates prepared for you. Information!"
"You know that what Ben Hou found is only the superficial things. When it comes to the critical moment, there will be nothing at all!" Du Juan scolded coldly, "Who are you? How much is hidden in your body? Secret? How did you and Mrs. Di Ge know each other? Even... these few times you have been so proactive to go to Mrs. Ge's mansion with me, and you volunteered to attract Mrs. Ge's attention first. Are you trying to help Mrs. Ge? Me, or to help yourself?" Du Juanqing asked a series of questions like a cannonball.
After hearing this, Gu Caiwei still just smiled lightly. "Go and check, I won't tell you!"
"Gu, Cai, Wei!" Her refusal to cooperate made Du Juanqing very upset, he couldn't bear to grit his teeth and growl.
However, upon hearing his growl, Gu Caiwei's expression changed, and then she smiled softly: "Have you finally stopped believing that I am Gu Caiqin?"
"Have you ever treated yourself as Gu Caiqin?" Du Juanqing asked angrily, "You are not Gu Caiqin, and you will never be Gu Caiqin. You are much more bad-tempered than Gu Caiqin!"
"Yes, yes, I am much more capable than her!" Gu Caiwei said coolly.
Du Juanqing fixed her eyes again. "At this time, you still refuse to say anything?"
"Master Hou, you are really funny." Gu Caiwei shook her head helplessly, "With your ingenuity, how could you not know the origin of this? My grandfather is Gao Miracle Doctor, and Gao Miracle Doctor once ruled the city of Chang'an more than 30 years ago. He is deeply trusted by His Majesty Gaozong and the Empress Dowager. Who among the dignitaries in Chang'an City is not proud to associate with him? Elder Di Ge is also proficient in medical skills, so naturally he hit it off with my grandfather. The more we talked, the more we became friends. friend."
"Later, my grandfather left Chang'an and stayed with my grandmother incognito. Di Aweng also went through many ups and downs, and experienced many changes. But during this period, they have not broken contact. Grandpa also went to Di Aweng to release him. I met him somewhere, and Di Aweng took the initiative to visit my grandparents, so their relationship has always been very good. But this kind of relationship cannot be cultivated with any cat or dog. At least my grandfather is the only best friend in this life. One. Besides my grandfather, he is the elder who loves me the most in this world."
"What I'm asking is, why do you and Mr. Di Ge have such a good relationship?" Du Juanqing asked again.
Gu Caiwei pursed her lips. "To be honest, my grandmother has been weak and sick since she was a child. The doctor said she was not suitable for childbearing. But after getting married, she wanted to give birth to my grandfather. Then I had my aunt. But she was too weak. After giving birth to my aunt I lost a lot again, and even though my grandfather tried his best to make up for it, it was useless, so they only had one child in their life, my mother. Later, my father and mother got married and gave birth to me. They were afraid that my grandparents would be desolate, so they sent me back to accompany them Two old people. So I grew up beside my grandpa and grandma. Because of this, I have been influenced by my grandpa since I was a child, and I have learned all his medical skills. Even in order to make my grandmother who does not like to take medicine take medicine honestly, I even Start to study the methods of dietary therapy... so, Marquis, do you still have to ask me why Di Aweng and I are so close?"
Don't ask.
As the direct disciple of Miracle Doctor Gao, she also served Miracle Gao all year round. She must have been with Di Ge Lao countless times.So now, since she and Mr. Di Ge knew each other, Mr. Di Ge naturally passed on the deep friendship he had for many years to her.Then, the reason why she took the initiative to help him get acquainted with Mr. Di Ge was actually out of selfishness.
Realizing this, Du Juanqing's eyes darkened.
Gu Caiwei turned around. "If Hou Ye is all right, can you let me go? I'm exhausted today and I want to go back to sleep."
But as soon as she turned around, she felt that Du Juanqing's palm grabbed her wrist again.
"You—" Gu Caiwei turned her head displeased, and saw the man's faint eyes staring at her.
"Do you know what Old Man Di Ge said to me when you went to fetch tea?"
"What?" Gu Caiwei asked casually.
"He asked me to respect you as a person like me, and I must choose to believe in you and love you. He also said...as long as I get along with you, you will definitely give me many surprises, and then I can't stop loving you .”
"You're talking nonsense!" Gu Caiwei immediately submitted, "How could Di Aweng say such things?"
"That's what he said. If you don't believe me, you can ask him." Du Juan said in a deep voice.
"I'm not going! If I were to go, wouldn't it be obvious that I don't trust Di Aweng? You don't want to play tricks to destroy our relationship!" Gu Caiwei shouted coldly.
Du Juanqing just looked at her quietly. "If you don't go, is it because of a guilty conscience that you are afraid of getting a positive answer from Mr. Di Ge?"
"No wonder! I said I won't be fooled by you, so you should die!" Gu Caiwei gritted her teeth and screamed, desperately pulled her wrist out of his palm, then turned her head and ran away.
This time Du Juanqing didn't stop him, but raised the corners of his mouth when he saw her fleeing back: "I didn't even say I was guilty. You know Mr. Di Ge's temper better than me, and you are better than me at what he can do." Clear. So...you know that this is absolutely true!"
Of course Gu Caiwei knew that Du Juanqing would not make up nonsense for her about this kind of thing, and he couldn't make up such a nonsense either.Moreover, she has heard what he just said before—that is, when the two old men, Grandpa and Di Ge, closed the door for a drink, they discussed that the women at home were in charge of things, that they were not allowed to do this, and they were not allowed to do that When you play, you can explain what you say by yourself.She heard every word and every sentence clearly, and it was exactly the same as what Du Juanqing said just now.I remember that at that time she had quietly joked that these two old people were strictly wives!
In other words, Di Ge Lao had indeed said these words to him!
Realizing this, Gu Caiwei blushed with anger. "Di Aweng, you have to have a limit if you want to trouble me, right? Just kidding like this... Aren't you afraid that my grandfather won't be able to sleep well, so he just jumps out and beats you?"
"My lady..." Liuli watched from the side, and she asked in a low voice, "Are you angry or shy?"
Gu Caiwei turned her head. "Of course I'm mad! I'm dying of madness, don't you know?"
"Actually, I didn't see it." Liuli shook her head honestly, "Miss, you are really angry. You see, Heifeng didn't even notice your anger, and didn't take the initiative to come over to comfort you!"
Wang Wang Wang!
Hei Feng on the side immediately raised his neck and yelled a few times, and happily wagged his tail at her.
The dog only wags its tail every time it senses that its owner is in a good mood.
Seeing this, Gu Caiwei became even more angry.She hurriedly drove Liuli and the dog out together. "You're all trying to annoy me, aren't you? Go, go, get out, I don't want to talk to you anymore!"
Frantically pushing Liuli and Heifeng out of the room, Gu Caiwei slammed the door shut before she leaned her back against the door, but she couldn't help laughing out loud.
"Di Aweng, you are such an old man!" She cursed in a low voice, "As for Du Juanqing..."
Thinking of the man's serious expression just now, she couldn't help but bend the corners of her eyes, like a fresh crescent moon: "If you don't have this idea in your heart, why would you take the initiative to tell me? You even came to scare me on purpose, who is scaring whom? What? If you are so eager to reveal everything, it can only prove one thing - you are not confident enough!"
However, they didn't expect that, because this time they went to the old mansion alone as guests, the news spread throughout Chang'an City in an instant, and shocked all the dignitaries in Chang'an City.In addition, at the old lady's birthday banquet, Di Ge's old couple looked at Du Yi differently, and Princess Taiping also summoned Gu Caiwei several times... Everyone was instantly full of enthusiasm for this little-known Changning Marquis Mansion in Chang'an City. keen interest.
All of a sudden, all kinds of invitations and greetings flew over like a snowflake, filling up the always deserted concierge of the Hou Mansion.
Du Junqing changed hands and asked people to hand over these things to Gu Caiwei.
"You are Mrs. Hou, and it is your responsibility to deal with these things, so you can figure it out!" The man threw this responsibility to her very coolly.
Gritting her teeth, Gu Caiwei picked it up and glanced at it casually, and suddenly a smile bloomed on her face.
"It's really rare! There is no one in this capital, from the royal family to the ordinary officials, who has not sent us a message. Even those noble ladies who had a verbal fight with me at the Wu Consort's mansion, Now I have changed my previous cold attitude, and even took the initiative to get close to me! One bite at a time, based on the past friendship, since when did I have any affection with them?"
"This is the benefit of being powerful. Whether they like you or not, for the sake of power, they have to please you against their will." Liuli said with a smile on the side.
"Isn't it? I have seen the real faces of these so-called nobles in Chang'an City." Gu Caiwei sighed.
Liuli blinked. "Then I don't know, which families are you going to associate with, my lady?"
"It's so big!" Gu Caiwei threw away the thick stack of posts casually, "In the past, the Hou's Mansion was an independent existence in the capital, and it will be the same in the future. We have nothing to ask others, of course others Don't even think about begging us. Just get along with each other peacefully as before."
"I'm afraid, my lady, you think so in your heart, but others don't!" Liuli reminded her in a low voice.
"That's Du Juanqing's business." Gu Caiwei said unceremoniously, "I'm a woman, I don't go outside the door, and I don't have anything to do with the outside world. It's our Marquis, he is the family The mainstay, he has to go out to socialize every day. If others really want to pester him, they should pester him, and if they don't pester me, then I don't care about him?"
Liuli couldn't help but be speechless. "Miss, you have a really bad heart."
"It's not as good as that wicked man." Gu Caiwei responded coolly.
Liuli suddenly couldn't help puffing again, and quickly covered her mouth and turned to the side to snicker.
However, Gu Caiwei's plan was very good, but she had calculated everything, but she didn't expect that the first ones who came to her door were Gu Chengyuan's family!
That's right, it's a family - Gu Chengyuan, Tian's, and Gu Tianci's family of three.
When the concierge came to inform her that her in-laws had arrived, Gu Caiwei immediately became older and older.
"Only one came last time, and I sent them away with great difficulty. Now, all three of them have come? What does this mean? Do you want to use the advantage of the crowd to put pressure on me?"
Although she can deal with these three people alone, it is still too difficult after all.So Gu Caiwei made a decisive decision: "Liuli, go ask Master Hou to come and help!"
"Yes!" Liuli quickly ran to rescue the soldiers.
At this time, Gu Chengyuan and Tian Shi had brought Gu Tianci over.
"Gu Caiqin, you've let me down so much!" As soon as he entered the door, Gu Chengyuan pulled his face long and scolded with gritted teeth.
Gu Caiwei was puzzled. "Father, what kind of anger are you making again? Are you looking for the wrong person?"
"I'm not wrong, I'm looking for you!" Gu Chengyuan growled.
Gu Tianci had his father as a backer, and his voice was very loud: "Are you my dear sister? You go to the Ge Lao Mansion to meet you, and bring your stepson and Gu Jiu with you, but neither Know to take me! It’s all right now, both of them have been rewarded by Elder Di Ge, but I have nothing!”
Only then did Gu Caiwei come to her senses - after a long time, it was still Di Ge's fault!
Tian's performance was calmer than that of the father and son.Compared to Gu Chengyuan and Gu Tianci who started asking questions when they entered the door, she still hurried over to protect her daughter: "Don't be so loud! This is not what the second lady wants to do!"
As she said that, she turned her head again, and persuaded Gu Caiwei earnestly: "Aqin, I really don't blame your father and brother for being angry. Who would not be angry about this matter? You are the daughter of our family, so what good do you have? It should be enjoyed by our own family first! As a result, in the end, the stinky boy in Erfang got the first step. What does the little money fan know? He probably doesn’t even know a few words! Then give him a good book What a waste!"
After all, she was still on the side of Gu Chengyuan and his son.
Gu Caiwei's heart sank.
"If I said that we never expected Dige to send things to Jiulang and the others at the beginning, would you believe me?"
"Xinxinxinxin!" Tian nodded quickly, "It's just that he still gave it away, didn't he? Now that Jiulang has appeared in front of Mr. Di Ge, but your brother-in-law doesn't, then it won't work!"
"That's right!" Gu Chengyuan quickly echoed, "What kind of a brat is Erfang? How can he compare to my Wulang? Since he can make Mr. Di Ge praise a few words and give him something, then if he is When my Wulang goes, Mr. Di Ge will be full of praise for him, and give him any good things!"
Gu Tianci did not speak.But after hearing Dad's words, his face was already full of light, his chin was raised high, and his chest was also raised, for fear that others would not notice him.
"Ha ha."
At this time, a chuckle came from the side.
Gu Chengyuan and his son immediately jumped up like a cat whose tail had been trampled on. "Who's laughing?"
Looking back, they saw Gu Tianyuan and Du Yi standing at the door.
Seeing Du Yi, Gu Tianci immediately shrank his shoulders in fright, and quickly hid behind Gu Chengyuan.
When Gu Chengyuan saw Gu Tianyuan, he was furious.
Old and new grudges welled up in his heart, and he couldn't help but sneered at Gu Tianyuan: "Well, Gu Jiulang, you've got a good plan! You came to Chang'an so fast, I said why did you just come to my house? It's nothing to find trouble to fight with Goro, the feeling is that you have already planned to come to the Hou Mansion to join my son-in-law, and you want to take advantage of my son-in-law's power to cling to the powerful! Why did our Gu family give birth to such a lowly thing like you?"
Gu Tianyuan just sneered when he heard the words. "Uncle, what you said is unreasonable. Don't you know why I got into a fight with brother five? What do you mean I'm looking for trouble? He was the one who laughed at me first, and said that my sister deserved it, and was killed when she was alive." My fiancé lied to me, and my family was a joke when he died on the day of the funeral! He also said that my father and mother are worthless and rely entirely on your family for support. What a fart! My father has inherited the mantle of my grandfather and hangs pots in his hometown Helping the world is also highly praised by the people. But how come you say that we are useless, and you will eat and drink for nothing all your life? He also said that I..."
"Is that so?" Hearing this, Gu Caiwei's eyes darkened.
That day when Gu Tianyuan came to join her, he only briefly mentioned that he and Gu Tianci had quarreled, but he didn't elaborate on the details of the quarrel.Moreover, the two children often quarreled over trivial matters before, and she was used to it, so she didn't ask any more questions.Unexpectedly, this time Gu Tianci actually spoke so excessively!
Du Yi quickly nodded. "I can testify, that's what they said. The little uncle told me in private!"
Although these two little guys have been making a lot of noise in the Hou's mansion.But when facing foreign enemies, Du Yi still stood by Gu Tianyuan without hesitation.
Gu Tianci's face changed slightly, but he still whispered with a stubborn mouth: "I'm right! Gu Caiwei is just useless. She can't control her fiancé when she is alive, and she will die like a wimp when she dies. How much money can your family rely on practicing medicine?" How much money? Those people in the village are willing to let the second uncle see a doctor, isn't it all because of my father's face? If it weren't because my father who was an official in Chang'an was behind him, the second uncle's medical skills would be a ghost Will find him!"
What he said made Tian's face turn red.
"Goro, don't talk nonsense!" She hurriedly yelled.
Gu Chengyuan gave her a blank look. "Goro is right again, why are you attacking him?"
So, this uncle of hers really felt that it was because of him that her father and mother could live a good life now.
His face is really big!
Now that the father and son have already offered their faces to the door, Gu Caiwei unceremoniously pulled it over: "Listening to what you say, then I would like to ask a question--Daddy, you have been studying all your life, and you were poor in the first half of your life." You can’t even eat and you don’t want to work in the fields. Didn’t your childhood sweetheart’s little cousin feel that there was no hope for you, so she broke the engagement and married someone else? If my grandfather hadn’t found you and suggested getting married, You might have starved to death in that thatched hut with your books! At that time, you couldn’t protect yourself, so what ability would you have to support others?”
"Later, with my grandfather's financial support, you can be regarded as living a life full of food and clothing, and you have the mind to study hard. But at that time, you were not working hard, and you didn't know the grains. You depended on me for eating, drinking, and drinking. Mother Zhang Luo, how do you have the energy to support the second room?"
"Wait again when you are selected to ask someone to go to Chang'an to apply for an official. Not only did you take away most of my grandfather's money, but you have settled down in Chang'an ever since and never went back. The folks only know that you are an official in Chang'an, but they don't know What kind of official are you, let alone see you go back to the village. Everyone knows that you are still alive, but no one knows whether you live like a human or a dog. How can you get the capital to let the second uncle The second aunt relies on it?"
"Not to mention, from the day the second uncle and the second aunt got married, you separated. The second uncle and the second aunt set up their own houses, and everyone couldn't eat in the same pot. From that time until you came to Chang'an, During the ten years in the middle, they all relied on their own ability to eat, didn't they not starve to death? Now they are only relying on their previous ability to support themselves. How come you are relying on your power? None of you are capable, but your face is surprisingly big!"
"you you you!"
Although Gu Chengyuan has been bullied in the officialdom, he is still the head of the family at home, Tian and Gu Tianci respect him.Previously, Gu Caiqin had always been proud of having a father who was a Beijing official, and obeyed his advice.
As a result, who would have thought that today in the Marquis of Changning's mansion, this daughter would not give him any face, and she would just reveal his old background, analyze it in detail, and expose all his lies!
Even if he heard her say that in Gu's mansion, Gu Chengyuan would be furious, let alone in Changning Hou's mansion?Not to mention there are two little fellows, Gu Tianyuan and Du Yi, watching beside him!
However, misfortunes never come singly.
As soon as Gu Caiwei finished speaking, Gu Tianyuan and Du Yi clapped their little hands in agreement.
When they were clapping, Du Juanqing was also late.
"Is there anything good going on here? Ayi, you are all so happy?" He asked softly as soon as he entered the door.
Gu Chengyuan's face suddenly became as black as the bottom of a pot.
"It's nothing, it's nothing, the children are playing around!" He hurried to explain.
But Du Yi immediately said: "Father, Grandpa and the others came to ask A Niang Xingshi to ask the teacher! Just because A Niang took me and my uncle to Dige's old mansion a few days ago, they felt that A Niang I was eccentric and didn't take the eldest uncle, so I came to trouble A Niang. Then they scolded both A Niang and the younger uncle, very fiercely!"
"Woo, my uncle has always been so fierce, it scares people to death!" As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Tianyuan sobbed, and then choked up and threw himself into Gu Caiwei's arms.
A few black lines fell from Gu Caiwei's forehead, but she still managed to reach out and hug the showman brother.
Du Juanqing's eyes turned cold for a moment.
"Bringing Jiulang to Gelao Mansion is the idea of this Marquis. You can talk to Ben Hou if you have any dissatisfaction with your father-in-law. Madam, she is a woman, and it is not up to her to decide the family affairs. What's the use of scolding her?" ?” he shouted in a low voice.
Both Gu Chengyuan and his son were instantly terrified.
"Well, son-in-law, I didn't mean to scold her. It's just that as a sister, she has to be leveled anyway!" Gu Chengyuan said stutteringly, "Isn't Jiulang her brother-in-law? , have gained such a great benefit, then Goro is his own younger brother, shouldn't she take it with him more?"
"It's a matter of luck, and it's not something she can control." Du Juan said coldly.
"Although you say that, don't you have already established a relationship with the old man of Ge?" Gu Chengyuan said with a smile, "Since you have the first relationship, you will definitely have the next day in the future." Three times and countless times. Then when you go to Ge Lao’s mansion again, remember to bring Wu Lang with you. Wu Lang has been reading and writing with me since he was a child.
As he said that, he quickly pulled Gu Tianci out from behind, and pushed him to the front. "Goro, hurry up and write a poem for your elder sister and brother-in-law!"
Gu Tianci faltered, but couldn't even open his mouth.
Seeing this, Gu Caiwei's expression became even uglier.
Gu Tianyuan howled dryly in her arms, but he couldn't pretend anymore, so he quietly raised his head, rolled his eyes, and quietly observed Gu Chengyuan and his son.
Du Yi was even more presumptuous. Seeing this, he sneered directly: "He couldn't even open his mouth in front of his own family. Then when he is in front of Mr. Di Ge, are you sure he will be able to write freely? You have met Mr. Di Ge before. Do you know how majestic Mr. Di Ge is? Mr. Di Ge has three sons, all of whom are dragons and phoenixes, and each of the three sons has given birth to many grandchildren. That day we played with these grandsons and listened to them Quoting scriptures, everything is at your fingertips, we were all scared at the time! Little uncle, don’t you think so?”
Gu Tianyuan howled again. "They are all terrible! I will never go there again!"
Gu Tianci trembled in fright, and quickly hid behind his father.
Gu Chengyuan's face was too dark to look at.
When Tian heard this, she was also stunned. "Master, if you want to do this, why don't we..."
"No!" Gu Chengyuan immediately shook his head, and he quickly looked at Du Juanqing again, "Son-in-law, if your brother can't do it, then what about me? You can take me with you, right?"
puff!
This time, Gu Caiwei spitting, Du Yi spitting, even Gu Tianyuan didn't bother to howl, he quickly raised his head and looked back.
Cracks appeared on Du Juan's calm and calm face, and he almost lost sight of that cold face.
After a while, he slowly opened his mouth: "Father-in-law, do you want to see Elder Di Ge?"
"Yes! Di Ge is always an important minister of the country, and Her Majesty also trusts him a lot. If I can talk to him a few words, won't I be able to gain a firm foothold in the court?" Gu Chengyuan laughed. , "Besides, I have been in the officialdom for so many years, and no matter how many times I see Shangfeng, I have a well-founded advance and retreat. I will definitely not make mistakes."
As an official of the Ministry of Etiquette, if there is a problem with etiquette, it will be amazing!
Gu Caiwei rolled her eyes speechlessly.
A thought suddenly came to her mind - could it be that using Gu Tianyuan as a raft and deliberately forcing them to accept Gu Tianci, this is just Gu Chengyuan's tricks, in fact, his real purpose is to want to do it by himself?Otherwise, she couldn't explain why her uncle came up with an alternative so quickly.
She quickly took a look at Du Juanqing, and signaled with her eyes - will you or I say the next rejection?
I say it!Du Juanqing responded with his eyes.
Gu Caiwei just shut up and waited quietly for him to speak.
Immediately, Du Juanqing said: "My lord father-in-law, you are right, but have you forgotten that Di Ge's old mansion is strictly guarded, and unless he invites him personally, officials below the fourth rank are not allowed to come to the door? But lord father-in-law, you The fourth rank is still far away in the ranks."
Gu Chengyuan's chest was another critical blow.
Although he is now considered to be the fifth rank in the imperial court, it is not uncommon for such small officials to be caught in a large number in Chang'an City.Moreover, from the fifth rank to the fourth rank is a big hurdle, and many people will not be able to cross it in a lifetime.Therefore, it is not wrong to say that his rank is far from the fourth rank.
Unless he has made a great contribution, or is supported by a big man like Mr. Di Ge, otherwise, with his current achievements and status, he doesn't even have to think about it!
"But, isn't there you now?" He asked hastily.
Du Juanqing's face darkened. "Mr. Di Ge can look down on me and ask me to go over and say a few words, which has given me great face. The most I can do is bring a child there to play. Anyway, Mrs. Ge likes children, and children are nothing. Utilitarianism. But if you bring along father-in-law like you for no reason... With Old Di Ge's stubborn temper, do you believe that he will let the concierge shut us out right away?"
"This..." Gu Chengyuan was so choked that he couldn't speak.
Only then did Du Juanqing slow down his tone again. "So, it's not that my son-in-law is unwilling to introduce my father-in-law, but that my son-in-law is also of low status in Chang'an City, and now I don't have a deep relationship with Mr. Di Ge. Our relationship has not yet been fully stabilized. How dare I Mess? If your father-in-law is interested, you can find someone who has a close relationship with Di Ge to recommend him."
When he said the last sentence, he glanced at Gu Caiwei with meaningful eyes.
Gu Caiwei couldn't help giving him another look.
This small-bellied man is still brooding over this incident!
However, it is indeed ridiculous to say.Gu Chengyuan has worked so hard in Chang'an City for so many years, so he wants to cling to the powerful so that he can climb up.Looking at him, it has never occurred to him that the person he should cling to the most is actually the second brother's family that he despises the most!
Even, the person who has the closest relationship with Elder Di Ge in this place is his own daughter.But as always, he dismissed this daughter, but pinned his hopes on Du Juanqing, the son-in-law.
In the end, is it better for him to be blind, or is it better for him not to pay attention to women, so he dug a big hole for himself?
Sure enough, Gu Chengyuan didn't hear Du Juanqing's implication.He immediately lost face: "I also want to find such a person! Maybe the person who is in contact with Mr. Dige is not a famous person in Chang'an City? I can't get acquainted with such a person at all, okay?"
Otherwise, as soon as he heard that his daughter and son-in-law were dating Di Ge, he rushed over and asked them to introduce him?
Du Juanqing naturally knew what he was thinking.So he deliberately satirized, but seeing that Gu Chengyuan didn't understand what he meant at all, he couldn't help shaking his head, and said softly: "Your request, my father-in-law, my son-in-law really can't meet it. It's just that you can only ask for it." Secondly, in fact, we can consider keeping Goro. After all, Jiulang has already moved in, and we have hired a husband for the son, so it doesn’t matter if we have another child now.”
"Ah, that's a good idea! That's it!" It's impossible to follow them to take advantage of it, so it's okay to take a step back and let my son go.Anyway, it's my bloodline, after my son will become friends with the young gentlemen in Ge Lao Mansion, and then I will use my son's relationship to walk with Ge Lao Mansion, which is more convenient than going through Hou Mansion!Gu Chengyuan calculated in his mind and nodded quickly.
When Gu Caiwei heard this, she frowned, and glared at Du Juan again in displeasure—I asked you to refuse him, but I didn't ask you to agree to their previous request!
Du Juanqing turned a blind eye to her cold eyes, but waved at Du Yi instead. "Ayi, you heard that from today onwards, Gu Wulang will live in our Hou's mansion. Although he is an elder, but you are the master of the Hou's mansion, then everything about Gu Wulang will be taken care of by you from now on. You Be sure to entertain him well, remember?"
"Yes, my child remembers!" Du Yi nodded quickly.
After finishing speaking, he took the initiative to walk up to Du Tianci, and grinned at him with a bright smile. "Uncle, you are welcome to come and live in our Hou's mansion. I will be with you again in the future! Don't worry, the life in the Hou's mansion is very relaxed and comfortable, and the husband my father invited me is also very good, not strict at all." .You're sure to like it here soon!"
"Yes, yes! Fifth Brother, you are welcome to come over, and we can play together in the future!" Gu Tianyuan couldn't help it anymore, he quickly broke away from Gu Caiwei's embrace, and happily walked over to stand beside Du Yi , showing an overly gorgeous smiling face with him, and took the initiative to reach out to Gu Tianci.
These two people showed such enthusiasm, but Gu Tianci was so frightened that his whole body began to shiver.
He quickly retracted his hands and feet, and wanted to hide behind Gu Chengyuan.
But how could Gu Chengyuan let him miss this great opportunity?
He grabbed his son and handed him directly to Du Yi. "In the following days, the puppy will be taken care of by Shizi."
"Father, don't! I'm afraid!" Gu Tianci almost cried in fright.
But Du Yi grabbed his chubby wrist and climbed onto his shoulder with one hand. "What are you afraid of, uncle? You see, little uncle has lived here for several days, isn't he also living well?"
"That's right! I really like this place! Brother Wu, as long as you stay here, you will definitely like it too! Come on, I'll take you to familiarize yourself with the Hou Mansion now!" Gu Tianyuan responded with a smile, and came to grab it Gu Tianci pressed his shoulder with the other wrist.
Thus, Gu Tianci was dragged away from Gu Chengyuan's side by these two little fellows, and dragged directly to the backyard.
Gu Chengyuan saw his son being treated so 'famally' by his nephew and grandson, and he also had a satisfied smile on his face, as if he could see the road to prosperity and wealth in front of his eyes.
(End of this chapter)
"Does this need to be said? He has already made his attitude so clear." Gu Caiwei said angrily.
Du Juanqing looked at her fixedly again, as if he wanted to see a flower from her body.
Gu Caiwei lowered her head and continued to eat, so she didn't bother to talk to her.
Facts have proved: Although Gu Caiwei's meal is not very varied, only one meal and one soup, but the taste is really good, not only the old couple of Di Ge are very satisfied, but also several gentlemen and young gentlemen of the Di family They also shook off their cheeks and ate all the food in front of them, leaving no soup left.
By the time we finished eating, it was already evening.Du Juanqing and Gu Caiwei hurriedly got up and said goodbye.
Elder Di Ge and Mrs. Ge are still reluctant to part.
Mrs. Ge took Gu Caiwei's hand, and couldn't get enough of her.Gu Caiwei gave the can of raw peony honey to the old man: "I said, peony is a good thing for replenishing vitality and beautifying the skin. It is suitable for you to drink. You can save this can and drink it slowly. There are several jars, and I will ask someone to bring them later. There will be other flowers blooming soon, and I will also make raw soaked honey for you, and you can eat it with different tastes."
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you!" Mrs. Ge nodded hastily, with a joyful smile on her face.
Elder Di Ge called Gu Tianyuan and Du Yi to him.
"Both of you are good children, smart and clever, and now you have a pair of good elders, and your future is limitless. I am old, and I have nothing to give you, so I will give you a copy of the notebook I left when I was young. Bar!"
As he spoke, he asked his son to fetch two yellowed scrolls from his study, and gave them to Gu Tianyuan, one for each of them.
Gu Tianyuan and Du Yi were very honest in front of Mr. Di Ge.When they got the things, the two young gentlemen were also very excited, and quickly and carefully hugged the scroll in their arms, for fear that they would accidentally lose it.
As for Du Junqing...
Elder Di Ge explained to him in a meaningful way: "Young man, the old man said, keep it in mind!"
"Thank you Mr. Ge, this junior will remember." Du Juan nodded quickly.
Old man Di Ge waved his hands with a smile and sent them away.
All the way back, Du Juanqing kept his face cold and silent.When he returned to Hou's Mansion, he just got off his horse and pulled Gu Caiwei who got out of the car, and dragged her directly to the backyard.
"Father!" Seeing this, Du Yi's face changed with worry, and he quickly yelled and wanted to chase after him.
But Gu Tianyuan pulled him back. "What are you in a hurry for? The two of them will be fine."
Du Yi turned his head and stared at him. "Is that your sister?"
"Of course it is!" Gu Tianyuan nodded, "It's because I know she's my dear sister, so I'm not in a hurry. Because I know her—your father can't do anything to her at all!"
Du Yi's eyes immediately became extremely complicated.
Although seeing Du Juanqing being so rude to Gu Caiwei just now, he felt very uncomfortable.But why when Gu Tianyuan said that Du Juanqing couldn't do anything to Gu Caiwei at all, not only did he not feel relieved, but even more so?
In fact, he really hoped that his father could really do something to Gu Caiwei.That way, she won't run away when she feels like it.
But he also knew in his heart that Gu Tianyuan was right.
As a result, his mood immediately dropped.
When Gu Tianyuan saw this, he immediately turned his gaze, and came over to pat him on the shoulder cheerfully: "Nephew, you don't need to be so pessimistic. Don't you just want to keep my sister? As long as you Give me this book in your hand, and I will help you!"
Du Yi looked back alertly. "You will be so good?"
"Do you know how much the old Di Ge's handwritten letter can be sold in the market? For the sake of money, I am willing to sell my sister!" Gu Tianyuan replied straightforwardly.
The corner of Du Yi's mouth curled up in response. "Do you think I will believe you? You siblings are like loach, slippery, and I won't be fooled by you again. I also believe in my father, he must have his own way of!"
After that, he hugged the letter in his arms tightly and left.
Seeing him running away in a hurry, Gu Tianyuan couldn't help but smack his lips. "The big nephew's reaction is getting faster and faster, and it's getting more and more fun. It's really interesting!"
But it was said that Gu Caiwei was brought back to his study by Du Juanqing, and then Du Juanqing let go.
"What is your relationship with Mr. Di Ge? Or, how much relationship do you have in the capital?" Du Juan asked coldly.
Gu Caiwei smiled lightly. "Everything about me, Lord Hou, haven't you already sent someone to check it? I'm afraid you know me better than me now, so what else can I say? You just go and see what my subordinates prepared for you. Information!"
"You know that what Ben Hou found is only the superficial things. When it comes to the critical moment, there will be nothing at all!" Du Juan scolded coldly, "Who are you? How much is hidden in your body? Secret? How did you and Mrs. Di Ge know each other? Even... these few times you have been so proactive to go to Mrs. Ge's mansion with me, and you volunteered to attract Mrs. Ge's attention first. Are you trying to help Mrs. Ge? Me, or to help yourself?" Du Juanqing asked a series of questions like a cannonball.
After hearing this, Gu Caiwei still just smiled lightly. "Go and check, I won't tell you!"
"Gu, Cai, Wei!" Her refusal to cooperate made Du Juanqing very upset, he couldn't bear to grit his teeth and growl.
However, upon hearing his growl, Gu Caiwei's expression changed, and then she smiled softly: "Have you finally stopped believing that I am Gu Caiqin?"
"Have you ever treated yourself as Gu Caiqin?" Du Juanqing asked angrily, "You are not Gu Caiqin, and you will never be Gu Caiqin. You are much more bad-tempered than Gu Caiqin!"
"Yes, yes, I am much more capable than her!" Gu Caiwei said coolly.
Du Juanqing fixed her eyes again. "At this time, you still refuse to say anything?"
"Master Hou, you are really funny." Gu Caiwei shook her head helplessly, "With your ingenuity, how could you not know the origin of this? My grandfather is Gao Miracle Doctor, and Gao Miracle Doctor once ruled the city of Chang'an more than 30 years ago. He is deeply trusted by His Majesty Gaozong and the Empress Dowager. Who among the dignitaries in Chang'an City is not proud to associate with him? Elder Di Ge is also proficient in medical skills, so naturally he hit it off with my grandfather. The more we talked, the more we became friends. friend."
"Later, my grandfather left Chang'an and stayed with my grandmother incognito. Di Aweng also went through many ups and downs, and experienced many changes. But during this period, they have not broken contact. Grandpa also went to Di Aweng to release him. I met him somewhere, and Di Aweng took the initiative to visit my grandparents, so their relationship has always been very good. But this kind of relationship cannot be cultivated with any cat or dog. At least my grandfather is the only best friend in this life. One. Besides my grandfather, he is the elder who loves me the most in this world."
"What I'm asking is, why do you and Mr. Di Ge have such a good relationship?" Du Juanqing asked again.
Gu Caiwei pursed her lips. "To be honest, my grandmother has been weak and sick since she was a child. The doctor said she was not suitable for childbearing. But after getting married, she wanted to give birth to my grandfather. Then I had my aunt. But she was too weak. After giving birth to my aunt I lost a lot again, and even though my grandfather tried his best to make up for it, it was useless, so they only had one child in their life, my mother. Later, my father and mother got married and gave birth to me. They were afraid that my grandparents would be desolate, so they sent me back to accompany them Two old people. So I grew up beside my grandpa and grandma. Because of this, I have been influenced by my grandpa since I was a child, and I have learned all his medical skills. Even in order to make my grandmother who does not like to take medicine take medicine honestly, I even Start to study the methods of dietary therapy... so, Marquis, do you still have to ask me why Di Aweng and I are so close?"
Don't ask.
As the direct disciple of Miracle Doctor Gao, she also served Miracle Gao all year round. She must have been with Di Ge Lao countless times.So now, since she and Mr. Di Ge knew each other, Mr. Di Ge naturally passed on the deep friendship he had for many years to her.Then, the reason why she took the initiative to help him get acquainted with Mr. Di Ge was actually out of selfishness.
Realizing this, Du Juanqing's eyes darkened.
Gu Caiwei turned around. "If Hou Ye is all right, can you let me go? I'm exhausted today and I want to go back to sleep."
But as soon as she turned around, she felt that Du Juanqing's palm grabbed her wrist again.
"You—" Gu Caiwei turned her head displeased, and saw the man's faint eyes staring at her.
"Do you know what Old Man Di Ge said to me when you went to fetch tea?"
"What?" Gu Caiwei asked casually.
"He asked me to respect you as a person like me, and I must choose to believe in you and love you. He also said...as long as I get along with you, you will definitely give me many surprises, and then I can't stop loving you .”
"You're talking nonsense!" Gu Caiwei immediately submitted, "How could Di Aweng say such things?"
"That's what he said. If you don't believe me, you can ask him." Du Juan said in a deep voice.
"I'm not going! If I were to go, wouldn't it be obvious that I don't trust Di Aweng? You don't want to play tricks to destroy our relationship!" Gu Caiwei shouted coldly.
Du Juanqing just looked at her quietly. "If you don't go, is it because of a guilty conscience that you are afraid of getting a positive answer from Mr. Di Ge?"
"No wonder! I said I won't be fooled by you, so you should die!" Gu Caiwei gritted her teeth and screamed, desperately pulled her wrist out of his palm, then turned her head and ran away.
This time Du Juanqing didn't stop him, but raised the corners of his mouth when he saw her fleeing back: "I didn't even say I was guilty. You know Mr. Di Ge's temper better than me, and you are better than me at what he can do." Clear. So...you know that this is absolutely true!"
Of course Gu Caiwei knew that Du Juanqing would not make up nonsense for her about this kind of thing, and he couldn't make up such a nonsense either.Moreover, she has heard what he just said before—that is, when the two old men, Grandpa and Di Ge, closed the door for a drink, they discussed that the women at home were in charge of things, that they were not allowed to do this, and they were not allowed to do that When you play, you can explain what you say by yourself.She heard every word and every sentence clearly, and it was exactly the same as what Du Juanqing said just now.I remember that at that time she had quietly joked that these two old people were strictly wives!
In other words, Di Ge Lao had indeed said these words to him!
Realizing this, Gu Caiwei blushed with anger. "Di Aweng, you have to have a limit if you want to trouble me, right? Just kidding like this... Aren't you afraid that my grandfather won't be able to sleep well, so he just jumps out and beats you?"
"My lady..." Liuli watched from the side, and she asked in a low voice, "Are you angry or shy?"
Gu Caiwei turned her head. "Of course I'm mad! I'm dying of madness, don't you know?"
"Actually, I didn't see it." Liuli shook her head honestly, "Miss, you are really angry. You see, Heifeng didn't even notice your anger, and didn't take the initiative to come over to comfort you!"
Wang Wang Wang!
Hei Feng on the side immediately raised his neck and yelled a few times, and happily wagged his tail at her.
The dog only wags its tail every time it senses that its owner is in a good mood.
Seeing this, Gu Caiwei became even more angry.She hurriedly drove Liuli and the dog out together. "You're all trying to annoy me, aren't you? Go, go, get out, I don't want to talk to you anymore!"
Frantically pushing Liuli and Heifeng out of the room, Gu Caiwei slammed the door shut before she leaned her back against the door, but she couldn't help laughing out loud.
"Di Aweng, you are such an old man!" She cursed in a low voice, "As for Du Juanqing..."
Thinking of the man's serious expression just now, she couldn't help but bend the corners of her eyes, like a fresh crescent moon: "If you don't have this idea in your heart, why would you take the initiative to tell me? You even came to scare me on purpose, who is scaring whom? What? If you are so eager to reveal everything, it can only prove one thing - you are not confident enough!"
However, they didn't expect that, because this time they went to the old mansion alone as guests, the news spread throughout Chang'an City in an instant, and shocked all the dignitaries in Chang'an City.In addition, at the old lady's birthday banquet, Di Ge's old couple looked at Du Yi differently, and Princess Taiping also summoned Gu Caiwei several times... Everyone was instantly full of enthusiasm for this little-known Changning Marquis Mansion in Chang'an City. keen interest.
All of a sudden, all kinds of invitations and greetings flew over like a snowflake, filling up the always deserted concierge of the Hou Mansion.
Du Junqing changed hands and asked people to hand over these things to Gu Caiwei.
"You are Mrs. Hou, and it is your responsibility to deal with these things, so you can figure it out!" The man threw this responsibility to her very coolly.
Gritting her teeth, Gu Caiwei picked it up and glanced at it casually, and suddenly a smile bloomed on her face.
"It's really rare! There is no one in this capital, from the royal family to the ordinary officials, who has not sent us a message. Even those noble ladies who had a verbal fight with me at the Wu Consort's mansion, Now I have changed my previous cold attitude, and even took the initiative to get close to me! One bite at a time, based on the past friendship, since when did I have any affection with them?"
"This is the benefit of being powerful. Whether they like you or not, for the sake of power, they have to please you against their will." Liuli said with a smile on the side.
"Isn't it? I have seen the real faces of these so-called nobles in Chang'an City." Gu Caiwei sighed.
Liuli blinked. "Then I don't know, which families are you going to associate with, my lady?"
"It's so big!" Gu Caiwei threw away the thick stack of posts casually, "In the past, the Hou's Mansion was an independent existence in the capital, and it will be the same in the future. We have nothing to ask others, of course others Don't even think about begging us. Just get along with each other peacefully as before."
"I'm afraid, my lady, you think so in your heart, but others don't!" Liuli reminded her in a low voice.
"That's Du Juanqing's business." Gu Caiwei said unceremoniously, "I'm a woman, I don't go outside the door, and I don't have anything to do with the outside world. It's our Marquis, he is the family The mainstay, he has to go out to socialize every day. If others really want to pester him, they should pester him, and if they don't pester me, then I don't care about him?"
Liuli couldn't help but be speechless. "Miss, you have a really bad heart."
"It's not as good as that wicked man." Gu Caiwei responded coolly.
Liuli suddenly couldn't help puffing again, and quickly covered her mouth and turned to the side to snicker.
However, Gu Caiwei's plan was very good, but she had calculated everything, but she didn't expect that the first ones who came to her door were Gu Chengyuan's family!
That's right, it's a family - Gu Chengyuan, Tian's, and Gu Tianci's family of three.
When the concierge came to inform her that her in-laws had arrived, Gu Caiwei immediately became older and older.
"Only one came last time, and I sent them away with great difficulty. Now, all three of them have come? What does this mean? Do you want to use the advantage of the crowd to put pressure on me?"
Although she can deal with these three people alone, it is still too difficult after all.So Gu Caiwei made a decisive decision: "Liuli, go ask Master Hou to come and help!"
"Yes!" Liuli quickly ran to rescue the soldiers.
At this time, Gu Chengyuan and Tian Shi had brought Gu Tianci over.
"Gu Caiqin, you've let me down so much!" As soon as he entered the door, Gu Chengyuan pulled his face long and scolded with gritted teeth.
Gu Caiwei was puzzled. "Father, what kind of anger are you making again? Are you looking for the wrong person?"
"I'm not wrong, I'm looking for you!" Gu Chengyuan growled.
Gu Tianci had his father as a backer, and his voice was very loud: "Are you my dear sister? You go to the Ge Lao Mansion to meet you, and bring your stepson and Gu Jiu with you, but neither Know to take me! It’s all right now, both of them have been rewarded by Elder Di Ge, but I have nothing!”
Only then did Gu Caiwei come to her senses - after a long time, it was still Di Ge's fault!
Tian's performance was calmer than that of the father and son.Compared to Gu Chengyuan and Gu Tianci who started asking questions when they entered the door, she still hurried over to protect her daughter: "Don't be so loud! This is not what the second lady wants to do!"
As she said that, she turned her head again, and persuaded Gu Caiwei earnestly: "Aqin, I really don't blame your father and brother for being angry. Who would not be angry about this matter? You are the daughter of our family, so what good do you have? It should be enjoyed by our own family first! As a result, in the end, the stinky boy in Erfang got the first step. What does the little money fan know? He probably doesn’t even know a few words! Then give him a good book What a waste!"
After all, she was still on the side of Gu Chengyuan and his son.
Gu Caiwei's heart sank.
"If I said that we never expected Dige to send things to Jiulang and the others at the beginning, would you believe me?"
"Xinxinxinxin!" Tian nodded quickly, "It's just that he still gave it away, didn't he? Now that Jiulang has appeared in front of Mr. Di Ge, but your brother-in-law doesn't, then it won't work!"
"That's right!" Gu Chengyuan quickly echoed, "What kind of a brat is Erfang? How can he compare to my Wulang? Since he can make Mr. Di Ge praise a few words and give him something, then if he is When my Wulang goes, Mr. Di Ge will be full of praise for him, and give him any good things!"
Gu Tianci did not speak.But after hearing Dad's words, his face was already full of light, his chin was raised high, and his chest was also raised, for fear that others would not notice him.
"Ha ha."
At this time, a chuckle came from the side.
Gu Chengyuan and his son immediately jumped up like a cat whose tail had been trampled on. "Who's laughing?"
Looking back, they saw Gu Tianyuan and Du Yi standing at the door.
Seeing Du Yi, Gu Tianci immediately shrank his shoulders in fright, and quickly hid behind Gu Chengyuan.
When Gu Chengyuan saw Gu Tianyuan, he was furious.
Old and new grudges welled up in his heart, and he couldn't help but sneered at Gu Tianyuan: "Well, Gu Jiulang, you've got a good plan! You came to Chang'an so fast, I said why did you just come to my house? It's nothing to find trouble to fight with Goro, the feeling is that you have already planned to come to the Hou Mansion to join my son-in-law, and you want to take advantage of my son-in-law's power to cling to the powerful! Why did our Gu family give birth to such a lowly thing like you?"
Gu Tianyuan just sneered when he heard the words. "Uncle, what you said is unreasonable. Don't you know why I got into a fight with brother five? What do you mean I'm looking for trouble? He was the one who laughed at me first, and said that my sister deserved it, and was killed when she was alive." My fiancé lied to me, and my family was a joke when he died on the day of the funeral! He also said that my father and mother are worthless and rely entirely on your family for support. What a fart! My father has inherited the mantle of my grandfather and hangs pots in his hometown Helping the world is also highly praised by the people. But how come you say that we are useless, and you will eat and drink for nothing all your life? He also said that I..."
"Is that so?" Hearing this, Gu Caiwei's eyes darkened.
That day when Gu Tianyuan came to join her, he only briefly mentioned that he and Gu Tianci had quarreled, but he didn't elaborate on the details of the quarrel.Moreover, the two children often quarreled over trivial matters before, and she was used to it, so she didn't ask any more questions.Unexpectedly, this time Gu Tianci actually spoke so excessively!
Du Yi quickly nodded. "I can testify, that's what they said. The little uncle told me in private!"
Although these two little guys have been making a lot of noise in the Hou's mansion.But when facing foreign enemies, Du Yi still stood by Gu Tianyuan without hesitation.
Gu Tianci's face changed slightly, but he still whispered with a stubborn mouth: "I'm right! Gu Caiwei is just useless. She can't control her fiancé when she is alive, and she will die like a wimp when she dies. How much money can your family rely on practicing medicine?" How much money? Those people in the village are willing to let the second uncle see a doctor, isn't it all because of my father's face? If it weren't because my father who was an official in Chang'an was behind him, the second uncle's medical skills would be a ghost Will find him!"
What he said made Tian's face turn red.
"Goro, don't talk nonsense!" She hurriedly yelled.
Gu Chengyuan gave her a blank look. "Goro is right again, why are you attacking him?"
So, this uncle of hers really felt that it was because of him that her father and mother could live a good life now.
His face is really big!
Now that the father and son have already offered their faces to the door, Gu Caiwei unceremoniously pulled it over: "Listening to what you say, then I would like to ask a question--Daddy, you have been studying all your life, and you were poor in the first half of your life." You can’t even eat and you don’t want to work in the fields. Didn’t your childhood sweetheart’s little cousin feel that there was no hope for you, so she broke the engagement and married someone else? If my grandfather hadn’t found you and suggested getting married, You might have starved to death in that thatched hut with your books! At that time, you couldn’t protect yourself, so what ability would you have to support others?”
"Later, with my grandfather's financial support, you can be regarded as living a life full of food and clothing, and you have the mind to study hard. But at that time, you were not working hard, and you didn't know the grains. You depended on me for eating, drinking, and drinking. Mother Zhang Luo, how do you have the energy to support the second room?"
"Wait again when you are selected to ask someone to go to Chang'an to apply for an official. Not only did you take away most of my grandfather's money, but you have settled down in Chang'an ever since and never went back. The folks only know that you are an official in Chang'an, but they don't know What kind of official are you, let alone see you go back to the village. Everyone knows that you are still alive, but no one knows whether you live like a human or a dog. How can you get the capital to let the second uncle The second aunt relies on it?"
"Not to mention, from the day the second uncle and the second aunt got married, you separated. The second uncle and the second aunt set up their own houses, and everyone couldn't eat in the same pot. From that time until you came to Chang'an, During the ten years in the middle, they all relied on their own ability to eat, didn't they not starve to death? Now they are only relying on their previous ability to support themselves. How come you are relying on your power? None of you are capable, but your face is surprisingly big!"
"you you you!"
Although Gu Chengyuan has been bullied in the officialdom, he is still the head of the family at home, Tian and Gu Tianci respect him.Previously, Gu Caiqin had always been proud of having a father who was a Beijing official, and obeyed his advice.
As a result, who would have thought that today in the Marquis of Changning's mansion, this daughter would not give him any face, and she would just reveal his old background, analyze it in detail, and expose all his lies!
Even if he heard her say that in Gu's mansion, Gu Chengyuan would be furious, let alone in Changning Hou's mansion?Not to mention there are two little fellows, Gu Tianyuan and Du Yi, watching beside him!
However, misfortunes never come singly.
As soon as Gu Caiwei finished speaking, Gu Tianyuan and Du Yi clapped their little hands in agreement.
When they were clapping, Du Juanqing was also late.
"Is there anything good going on here? Ayi, you are all so happy?" He asked softly as soon as he entered the door.
Gu Chengyuan's face suddenly became as black as the bottom of a pot.
"It's nothing, it's nothing, the children are playing around!" He hurried to explain.
But Du Yi immediately said: "Father, Grandpa and the others came to ask A Niang Xingshi to ask the teacher! Just because A Niang took me and my uncle to Dige's old mansion a few days ago, they felt that A Niang I was eccentric and didn't take the eldest uncle, so I came to trouble A Niang. Then they scolded both A Niang and the younger uncle, very fiercely!"
"Woo, my uncle has always been so fierce, it scares people to death!" As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Tianyuan sobbed, and then choked up and threw himself into Gu Caiwei's arms.
A few black lines fell from Gu Caiwei's forehead, but she still managed to reach out and hug the showman brother.
Du Juanqing's eyes turned cold for a moment.
"Bringing Jiulang to Gelao Mansion is the idea of this Marquis. You can talk to Ben Hou if you have any dissatisfaction with your father-in-law. Madam, she is a woman, and it is not up to her to decide the family affairs. What's the use of scolding her?" ?” he shouted in a low voice.
Both Gu Chengyuan and his son were instantly terrified.
"Well, son-in-law, I didn't mean to scold her. It's just that as a sister, she has to be leveled anyway!" Gu Chengyuan said stutteringly, "Isn't Jiulang her brother-in-law? , have gained such a great benefit, then Goro is his own younger brother, shouldn't she take it with him more?"
"It's a matter of luck, and it's not something she can control." Du Juan said coldly.
"Although you say that, don't you have already established a relationship with the old man of Ge?" Gu Chengyuan said with a smile, "Since you have the first relationship, you will definitely have the next day in the future." Three times and countless times. Then when you go to Ge Lao’s mansion again, remember to bring Wu Lang with you. Wu Lang has been reading and writing with me since he was a child.
As he said that, he quickly pulled Gu Tianci out from behind, and pushed him to the front. "Goro, hurry up and write a poem for your elder sister and brother-in-law!"
Gu Tianci faltered, but couldn't even open his mouth.
Seeing this, Gu Caiwei's expression became even uglier.
Gu Tianyuan howled dryly in her arms, but he couldn't pretend anymore, so he quietly raised his head, rolled his eyes, and quietly observed Gu Chengyuan and his son.
Du Yi was even more presumptuous. Seeing this, he sneered directly: "He couldn't even open his mouth in front of his own family. Then when he is in front of Mr. Di Ge, are you sure he will be able to write freely? You have met Mr. Di Ge before. Do you know how majestic Mr. Di Ge is? Mr. Di Ge has three sons, all of whom are dragons and phoenixes, and each of the three sons has given birth to many grandchildren. That day we played with these grandsons and listened to them Quoting scriptures, everything is at your fingertips, we were all scared at the time! Little uncle, don’t you think so?”
Gu Tianyuan howled again. "They are all terrible! I will never go there again!"
Gu Tianci trembled in fright, and quickly hid behind his father.
Gu Chengyuan's face was too dark to look at.
When Tian heard this, she was also stunned. "Master, if you want to do this, why don't we..."
"No!" Gu Chengyuan immediately shook his head, and he quickly looked at Du Juanqing again, "Son-in-law, if your brother can't do it, then what about me? You can take me with you, right?"
puff!
This time, Gu Caiwei spitting, Du Yi spitting, even Gu Tianyuan didn't bother to howl, he quickly raised his head and looked back.
Cracks appeared on Du Juan's calm and calm face, and he almost lost sight of that cold face.
After a while, he slowly opened his mouth: "Father-in-law, do you want to see Elder Di Ge?"
"Yes! Di Ge is always an important minister of the country, and Her Majesty also trusts him a lot. If I can talk to him a few words, won't I be able to gain a firm foothold in the court?" Gu Chengyuan laughed. , "Besides, I have been in the officialdom for so many years, and no matter how many times I see Shangfeng, I have a well-founded advance and retreat. I will definitely not make mistakes."
As an official of the Ministry of Etiquette, if there is a problem with etiquette, it will be amazing!
Gu Caiwei rolled her eyes speechlessly.
A thought suddenly came to her mind - could it be that using Gu Tianyuan as a raft and deliberately forcing them to accept Gu Tianci, this is just Gu Chengyuan's tricks, in fact, his real purpose is to want to do it by himself?Otherwise, she couldn't explain why her uncle came up with an alternative so quickly.
She quickly took a look at Du Juanqing, and signaled with her eyes - will you or I say the next rejection?
I say it!Du Juanqing responded with his eyes.
Gu Caiwei just shut up and waited quietly for him to speak.
Immediately, Du Juanqing said: "My lord father-in-law, you are right, but have you forgotten that Di Ge's old mansion is strictly guarded, and unless he invites him personally, officials below the fourth rank are not allowed to come to the door? But lord father-in-law, you The fourth rank is still far away in the ranks."
Gu Chengyuan's chest was another critical blow.
Although he is now considered to be the fifth rank in the imperial court, it is not uncommon for such small officials to be caught in a large number in Chang'an City.Moreover, from the fifth rank to the fourth rank is a big hurdle, and many people will not be able to cross it in a lifetime.Therefore, it is not wrong to say that his rank is far from the fourth rank.
Unless he has made a great contribution, or is supported by a big man like Mr. Di Ge, otherwise, with his current achievements and status, he doesn't even have to think about it!
"But, isn't there you now?" He asked hastily.
Du Juanqing's face darkened. "Mr. Di Ge can look down on me and ask me to go over and say a few words, which has given me great face. The most I can do is bring a child there to play. Anyway, Mrs. Ge likes children, and children are nothing. Utilitarianism. But if you bring along father-in-law like you for no reason... With Old Di Ge's stubborn temper, do you believe that he will let the concierge shut us out right away?"
"This..." Gu Chengyuan was so choked that he couldn't speak.
Only then did Du Juanqing slow down his tone again. "So, it's not that my son-in-law is unwilling to introduce my father-in-law, but that my son-in-law is also of low status in Chang'an City, and now I don't have a deep relationship with Mr. Di Ge. Our relationship has not yet been fully stabilized. How dare I Mess? If your father-in-law is interested, you can find someone who has a close relationship with Di Ge to recommend him."
When he said the last sentence, he glanced at Gu Caiwei with meaningful eyes.
Gu Caiwei couldn't help giving him another look.
This small-bellied man is still brooding over this incident!
However, it is indeed ridiculous to say.Gu Chengyuan has worked so hard in Chang'an City for so many years, so he wants to cling to the powerful so that he can climb up.Looking at him, it has never occurred to him that the person he should cling to the most is actually the second brother's family that he despises the most!
Even, the person who has the closest relationship with Elder Di Ge in this place is his own daughter.But as always, he dismissed this daughter, but pinned his hopes on Du Juanqing, the son-in-law.
In the end, is it better for him to be blind, or is it better for him not to pay attention to women, so he dug a big hole for himself?
Sure enough, Gu Chengyuan didn't hear Du Juanqing's implication.He immediately lost face: "I also want to find such a person! Maybe the person who is in contact with Mr. Dige is not a famous person in Chang'an City? I can't get acquainted with such a person at all, okay?"
Otherwise, as soon as he heard that his daughter and son-in-law were dating Di Ge, he rushed over and asked them to introduce him?
Du Juanqing naturally knew what he was thinking.So he deliberately satirized, but seeing that Gu Chengyuan didn't understand what he meant at all, he couldn't help shaking his head, and said softly: "Your request, my father-in-law, my son-in-law really can't meet it. It's just that you can only ask for it." Secondly, in fact, we can consider keeping Goro. After all, Jiulang has already moved in, and we have hired a husband for the son, so it doesn’t matter if we have another child now.”
"Ah, that's a good idea! That's it!" It's impossible to follow them to take advantage of it, so it's okay to take a step back and let my son go.Anyway, it's my bloodline, after my son will become friends with the young gentlemen in Ge Lao Mansion, and then I will use my son's relationship to walk with Ge Lao Mansion, which is more convenient than going through Hou Mansion!Gu Chengyuan calculated in his mind and nodded quickly.
When Gu Caiwei heard this, she frowned, and glared at Du Juan again in displeasure—I asked you to refuse him, but I didn't ask you to agree to their previous request!
Du Juanqing turned a blind eye to her cold eyes, but waved at Du Yi instead. "Ayi, you heard that from today onwards, Gu Wulang will live in our Hou's mansion. Although he is an elder, but you are the master of the Hou's mansion, then everything about Gu Wulang will be taken care of by you from now on. You Be sure to entertain him well, remember?"
"Yes, my child remembers!" Du Yi nodded quickly.
After finishing speaking, he took the initiative to walk up to Du Tianci, and grinned at him with a bright smile. "Uncle, you are welcome to come and live in our Hou's mansion. I will be with you again in the future! Don't worry, the life in the Hou's mansion is very relaxed and comfortable, and the husband my father invited me is also very good, not strict at all." .You're sure to like it here soon!"
"Yes, yes! Fifth Brother, you are welcome to come over, and we can play together in the future!" Gu Tianyuan couldn't help it anymore, he quickly broke away from Gu Caiwei's embrace, and happily walked over to stand beside Du Yi , showing an overly gorgeous smiling face with him, and took the initiative to reach out to Gu Tianci.
These two people showed such enthusiasm, but Gu Tianci was so frightened that his whole body began to shiver.
He quickly retracted his hands and feet, and wanted to hide behind Gu Chengyuan.
But how could Gu Chengyuan let him miss this great opportunity?
He grabbed his son and handed him directly to Du Yi. "In the following days, the puppy will be taken care of by Shizi."
"Father, don't! I'm afraid!" Gu Tianci almost cried in fright.
But Du Yi grabbed his chubby wrist and climbed onto his shoulder with one hand. "What are you afraid of, uncle? You see, little uncle has lived here for several days, isn't he also living well?"
"That's right! I really like this place! Brother Wu, as long as you stay here, you will definitely like it too! Come on, I'll take you to familiarize yourself with the Hou Mansion now!" Gu Tianyuan responded with a smile, and came to grab it Gu Tianci pressed his shoulder with the other wrist.
Thus, Gu Tianci was dragged away from Gu Chengyuan's side by these two little fellows, and dragged directly to the backyard.
Gu Chengyuan saw his son being treated so 'famally' by his nephew and grandson, and he also had a satisfied smile on his face, as if he could see the road to prosperity and wealth in front of his eyes.
