Reborn Concubine Queen

Chapter 243 Qichang worries (1)

It was the first time for Mrs. Gao to see Gao Qichang like this. The young boy who always had a straight face and a serious face in her memory became strange in a blink of an eye, but all this was brought about by another woman.She felt a little uncomfortable, with a little sadness.

What Gao Qichang was thinking about was Shi Yiqing, but he didn't notice Mrs. Gao's expression changed slightly. Right now, he only hoped that Mrs. Gao would agree to be with Shi Yiqing.

Mrs. Gao sighed leisurely: "Even if I am willing to ask you to be together, what is the use? If she has never returned to Beijing, you will live with her in the border all your life, and no one will know. Now that she has returned to Beijing, live in Go to the Shi family, before you reveal your relationship with her, she is just a young lady of the Shi family, a girl who married privately, came back with a child, and insulted the lintel of the Shi family! My son, if our Gao family is so ignorant When Bai married her and came back, our Gao family will not be able to hold their heads up!"

"I have discussed with Qing'er, and I will take her and the child back to Feishui Town in a few days, and then no one's words will disturb us."

"What?" Mrs. Gao was shocked. "You two are going to take the child away? What are you talking about? Although the child was born by the two of you, it is also a descendant of the Gao family! It's fine if it was born outside No matter what, let him recognize his ancestors and return to his clan, let the clansmen take a look at him!"

Gao Qichang wondered: "Mother, Qing'er and I just want to leave the capital quietly, stop thinking about right and wrong in the capital, and hope that mother will be successful."

Mrs. Gao was furious: "I will fulfill you, who will fulfill me?! Chang'er, Chang'er, you are in vain to fight the enemy bravely and invincibly, but you can't understand the word love. Let me ask you, how did you take the Shi family away?" This young lady? Even if you take her out of the capital, the Shi family will simply not pursue it? When the time comes to catch up with you, the city will be full of storms, and it will be of no benefit to anyone."

Gao Qichang was stunned, never thought about it so carefully: "If mother wants it, what should I do?"

Mrs. Gao was one thousand, ten thousand unwilling Gao Qichang to marry Shi Yiqing, but after thinking about it, Shi Yiqing held the condition of a child in her hand, so she had to give in, and sighed, "Since you are married to the grandson... This young lady of the Shi family has already achieved a marriage, so there is no reason not to marry her in. After two days, I will go to the palace to ask the emperor to issue a decree to allow this Ninth Miss to be your wife."

Gao Qichang was naturally overjoyed to be able to ask Shi Yiqing to enter Gao's house dignifiedly, he quickly thanked Mrs. Gao, and then stood up from the ground, watching Mrs. Gao rubbing his numb knees after kneeling for a long time, feeling more and more heartbroken. It's a mixed flavor, an indescribable taste.

The mother and son chatted about homework for a while, and then heard the sound of clappers outside, and it was late at night.Gao Qichang was busy saying goodbye to his mother, so he had to go back to his own room and barely sleep for a few hours.

Walking through familiar and unfamiliar trails, Gao Qichang, who had not returned for five years, stood with his hands behind his back under a withered pagoda tree planted in his childhood, sighing, when he suddenly heard a voice from the side shouting warily: "Who! Come out!"

There was a rustling sound, as if someone came around from the other side of the locust tree, and stood in front of Gao Qichang, the pear blossoms were raining, and he said aggrievedly: "Cousin, it's me."

Gao Qichang has been busy for many days without taking a good rest. He had just talked a lot with his mother, Mrs. Gao. Impatient: "Why are you here?"

Ruan Ling cautiously looked at Gao Qichang's expression, her crying voice was full of complaints: "Cousin doesn't like Ling'er? If cousin doesn't like..."

Gao Qichang raised his hand to interrupt her: "I've never met you before, and I can't say whether I like you or not. If you have nothing else to do, please do what you want." After speaking, he turned around and went into the room to rest.

Ruan Ling who was behind her bit her lips lightly, seeing Gao Qichang's cold face and heart, she became more and more annoyed, she wanted to leave but was unwilling: "Cousin, don't be afraid that everyone in the Gao family knows how indiscreet that young lady of the Shi family is. How did brother negotiate peace without a mediator?"

Gao Qichang stood up and looked at Ruan Ling with a sneer: "You really are a scheming person. Tell me, what do you want?"

Ruan Ling pretended to be weak: "Brother, you have wronged me. If Linger is a scheming person, why would she be killed by her stepmother at home and sent to Beijing by her father? All Linger wants is a shelter Where is the place, can cousin be willing to fulfill it?"

"I'm a general, not a literati. I can't understand your soft words." Gao Qichang said with a cold face, "But if you want a place to live, I can ask my mother to give you more. Money, it’s up to you to buy a house outside to live in, or use it as a dowry to marry someone else, I just ask you not to appear in front of me and make me angry.”

After saying this, Gao Qichang strode into the room, letting Ruan Ling hold the scarf and cry like a tearful person.

The big girl who was serving Mrs. Gao led the two girls and was about to come in to wait for Gao Qichang to take a rest when the deputy general Gao Yi who was going to the home of Mr. Liu Libang Liu, the military adviser, broke in.

Gao Qichang casually told the girls to back off: "What are you doing in such a hurry, can Mr. Liu rest?"

Gao Yi replied: "Young master, Mr. Liu asked me to come back and talk to the young master. I just got the news that there was some rain in the south of Yuzhou last night. The governor of Yuzhou has prepared a memorial to report this matter to the court. I want to come tomorrow." This matter will be discussed in the early court, and the master told the young master to be mentally prepared."

Gao Qichang was overjoyed: "I didn't expect Qing'er to be right. It really rained in less than five days." Glancing at Gao Yi's hesitant expression, he asked in puzzlement, "You man, why are you hesitant to talk? , just say something.”

"Returning to the young master, I heard someone say it when I came back just now, and I don't know whether I should say it or not."

Gao Qichang said indifferently: "You make your own decision, it's up to you whether you want to say it or not."

"But, it's about Miss Jiu."

"Qing'er?" Gao Qichang was stunned, "What's wrong with Qing'er?"

Seeing that Gao Qichang's expression changed, Gao Yi hurriedly replied, "I heard that after the banquet at Prince Qi's Mansion the day before yesterday, the old lady of the Shi family sent someone to take Miss Jiu home to live there. Come on...Master, master! Where are you going?"

Gao Qichang put on his cloak and was about to go outside: "I'm going to Shi's house!"

Gao Yi chased after him, seeing that he got on his horse and was about to leave, he hurriedly stepped forward to grab Gao Qichang's reins, and tried to persuade him: "Young master, don't worry, all the houses are closed right now, even if you go, you can go in." If you don't go, even if you wake up the entire Shi family, you won't be able to see Miss Jiu. What's more, I heard that Miss Jiu has recovered after taking the medicine. What a joke!"

"What you said is true? Are you bluffing me?"

"How dare you lie to the young master!" Gao Yi replied with a bitter face, "Master, it's getting late, you should go back to sleep quickly, don't startle the lady, you won't be able to tell when the time comes!"

Gao Qichang looked at the dark sky, and suddenly felt that he had nothing to do with himself, and that he was a general envied by everyone, with power, fame, fortune, glory and wealth, as long as others wanted to have, he already had it, and he had never been so powerless today. feel.

He didn't want much, Shi Yiqing's home, Shi Yiqing and his children were enough.

When it was just dawn, Mrs. Gao led the girl to wait on Gao Qichang wearing the official uniform of the fourth rank general, and said with emotion: "That's how I served your father in this way back then." tears.

Seeing that Gao Qichang didn't respond, Gao Yi, who was waiting for him, stepped forward and said with relief: "I often heard my father talk about the Elder Master. Back then, my father followed the Elder Master to fight everywhere, and he was very prestigious."

"You're the one with a sweet mouth." Mrs. Gao stopped crying, helped Gao Qichang straighten his official hat, and said, "Chang'er, you don't look very good, but you didn't sleep last night, okay?"

Gao Qichang had something on his mind, so he forced a smile, took Gao Yi to bid farewell to Mrs. Gao, and hurried into the palace.

A military officer who knew Gao Qichang stepped forward and said with a smile: "General Gao came early enough, I'm afraid the emperor is still awake, why not follow the little eunuch to the ear room for a rest, so as not to make a fool of himself later on in the palace." He said, leading Gao Qichang to go to the west ear room.

Gao Qichang was about to follow into the west ear room, when the eunuch at the side called him in a high-pitched voice: "Is there something wrong, father-in-law?"

The eunuch bowed and saluted: "Master Yu, the head of the cabinet, please go over and talk to the general."

Gao Qichang frowned and hesitated for a moment, then asked: "Master Yu, can you tell me what's the matter?"

"The little one doesn't know, the little one just obeyed Master Yu's order to ask the general to go over and talk."

Gao Qichang had no choice but to follow the eunuch to the front cabinet, and when he stepped in, he saw all the cabinet ministers, the heads of the military aircraft department, and the ministers of various government departments sitting on their seats, closing their doors to rest.

"At the end, I will pay my respects to all my lords."

Seeing Gao Qichang suddenly, all the ministers couldn't help whispering: "You are just a military general of the fourth rank, who told you to come here?"

Gao Qichang bowed and replied: "If you go back to Master Meng, I will come to speak at the order of Master Yu."

All the ministers looked at Mr. Yu who was sitting on the soft couch above, and they all shut up. For a while, there was no sound in the huge room. "Come here, give General Gao a seat."

"The last general doesn't dare." Gao Qichang clasped his fists, calling the shots, "Your Majesty can tell you what orders you want, even if the last general goes through fire and water."

Master Yu hugged the stove and smiled: "General Gao has made great contributions in praying for rain. He is a nobleman of our Dayan Dynasty. How dare I bother the general? I just saw that the general's expression is not very good, so I asked the general to come in and rest."
