First Lady of the Crown Prince

  Chapter 123 Repaying Grace (two more)

  The man sent Xiao Jingkong home and turned around and left. Gu Jiao didn't even have time to thank him.

  Gu Jiao asked Xiao Jingkong about the incident, and when she learned that he was fighting to save a chicken, Gu Jiao felt that he shouldn’t do it.

  However, Gu Jiao was not in a hurry to express her opinion.

Xiao Jingkong frowned deeply and said, "Big brother said I shouldn't do this. Does Jiaojiao think I did something wrong?"

  Gu Jiao asked him, "What do you think?"

   Xiao Jingkong raised her chest and said: "I think I did the right thing! If it is me who is in danger, Jiaojiao will fight to save me!"

   Yes, even the idioms popped out.

  Gu Jiao said, "But, have you ever thought that maybe Xiaoqi doesn't need you to save it?"

   "Huh?" Xiao Jingkong was puzzled.

  Gu Jiao explained patiently: “Xiao Qi is very sensitive and has a small body. Horseshoes can’t easily step on him, but horseshoes can easily step on you.”

Xiao Jingkong suddenly realized one thing: he is not as agile as a chicken!

  Xiao Jingkong secretly vowed that he will practice more diligently, he must become very sensitive and protect his chicken!

  A few days later, Gu Houye and his party also arrived in the capital.

  More than a month of turbulence, but the three of them were broken. Gu Jinyu had never been in such a bad carriage, and his whole body was so sore that it was not his own.

  Yao has no complaints. She is very thankful that she has taken this car, otherwise she will be distressed if she changes to Jiaojiao and Yan'er to endure this kind of hardship.

   "I have suffered you." Yao Shi took Gu Jinyu's hand and said guiltily.

  Gu Jinyu said warmly: "I'm fine, my brother is not in good health, he must not be able to bear such a bump, I am very happy that my mother gave the carriage to my sister and brother."

  Yao patted Gu Jinyu's hand: "You are still sensible."

  Gu Houye helped Yao and Gu Jinyu out of the carriage.

The people in   's mansion were very happy to see Lord Hou and Gu Jinyu, but they couldn't help being surprised to see the Yao family next to Lord Hou.

  The Yao family has lived in the villa for ten years, and has never been back to the mansion once, and the guards at the gate don’t even know her.

  Gu Houye said coldly: "What are you doing stupidly? Don't you see my wife soon?"

  Several people looked at each other, stunned and stepped forward to salute: "Ms.?"

  What lady?

Is it possible that Master Hou raised a woman outside?

  Yao is too early to be embarrassed because of this small offense. Moreover, she has been taking Jiaojiao's depression medicine for the past six months, and she is in a good mood and body.

  Gu Houye brought Yao and Gu Jinyu into the house.

  People have already spread the news to Mrs. Gu’s Songheyuan.

  The old lady Gu hadn't seen her son for half a year, so she was very worried, and asked Master Gu to come to Songheyuan immediately.

  Gu Houye originally planned to take the Yao family to greet the old lady tomorrow, but the old lady urged him, so he had to diverted halfway to Songheyuan.

  Old Mrs. Gu was overjoyed and waited to meet her son. As a result, she saw the Yao family next to her son, and Mrs. Gu’s smile froze.

   "Why did she come back?" Mrs. Gu asked indifferently.

  Gu Jinyu was embarrassed for her mother.

   "Mother!" Gu Houye glanced at Mrs. Gu, and motioned to her not to look at Yao's face like this.

  Old man Gu did not see it.

  Yao gave a respectful salute: "I have seen my mother."

  Gu Jinyu also saluted: "I have seen my grandmother."

  Old Mrs. Gu used to look after Gu Jinyu and it was pleasing to the eye, but now that the Yao family comes, she even feels a little disgusted with Gu Jinyu.

  The Yao family lived with Gu Yan in the hot spring villa, and now the Yao family has returned, but Gu Yan is nowhere to be seen. Mrs. Gu did not even think of asking.

  Master Gu Hou said roundly: "Mother, my son is exhausted after running around, so I will come back tomorrow to greet you."

  He didn’t say that Yao and Gu Jinyu were tired. He only said that they were tired. Can Mrs. Gu let her son go to rest?

This is the reason why Mrs. Gu is not pleasing to the eyes of the Yao family. It is not entirely due to the bad origin of the Yao family. It is more because as long as the Yao family is here, her son will be like a demon, and no one will look at it. Up!

  Gu Houye pretended not to understand Mrs. Gu’s dissatisfaction, smiled and said, "The son is leaving first", and then took Yao and Gu Jinyu out of Songhe Courtyard.

  The three of them had just crossed the threshold and met a woman dressed in Chinese clothes and jewels.

  The woman glanced at the three of them, and a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she soon bowed herself to salute: "Master! Madam! Miss!"

  Master Gu Hou frowned: "Aunt Ling, why are you here?"

  The woman called Aunt Ling smiled and said, "I'm here to deliver ginseng soup to my mother."

  Is it necessary to dress like this to send ginseng soup to the old lady? Gu Jinyu could see that she was here to stop Master Gu Hou.

Mrs. Gu's surname is Ling. Mrs. Xianhou is Mrs. Gu's niece and niece. Aunt Ling is Mrs. Xianhou's concubine and can be regarded as Mrs. Gu's niece.

  At the time when Xiao Ling died of illness, Master Gu married Yao and Mrs. Gu was worried that Master Gu would not love the three sons born to her ex-wife when he had a new love, so she took Aunt Ling as her concubine.

  Gu Houye didn't like Aunt Ling, but there was Mrs. Gu supporting Aunt Ling, and Aunt Ling's life in the house was very easy.

  Especially after the Yao family moved to the villa with Gu Yan, Aunt Ling was about to become the decent wife of the Hou Mansion.

  In addition, she is the aunt of the three sons, and the three sons are more close to her than to Yao.

   "Then you go send it." Gu Houye finished speaking lightly, and helped Yao Shi to leave.

  The next day, Yao pushed back from bed sickness and did not go to greet Mrs. Gu.

  Sister Fang persuaded the Yao family: "Why is this, ma'am? The etiquette is well thought out, so as not to be honest."

  Yao smiled bitterly: "No matter how thorough I am, there will always be people who want to choose me. If I don't go, the old lady will not see and worry."

  Gu Houye and Gu Jinyu went to Songheyuan.

  I heard that Yao was sick, Mrs. Gu coldly snorted, “She just doesn’t want to see me!”

  Gu Houye hurriedly said: "Look at what you said, how could Yao'er not want to see you? You see, she prepared these gifts for you personally! She respects you most in her heart!"

  The gift was indeed picked by the Yao family, and it was also thoughtful, but the Yao family did not do it for herself, but to prevent Mrs. Gu from angering Gu Jinyu.

  Old Mrs. Gu curled her lips, she didn’t like Yao family, and it’s okay if Yao family didn’t come, so she didn’t worry about seeing her.

   "Where is Yan'er?" Mrs. Gu finally asked Gu Yan, "Why didn't he come with you?"

  Master Gu did not dare to say that Gu Yan had come to the capital early. He smiled and said, "Yan'er is not in good health. I will ask him to come over slowly. A doctor will be with him."

   "Hmm." Mrs. Gu didn't ask any further.

  Gu Hou Ye said: "I will take Jinyu into the palace for a while, and please peace of mind for the empress."

  Speaking of Concubine Shu, Mrs. Gu's eyes looked at Gu Jinyu a little more kind: "Alright, your aunt has been thinking about you for a long time, and people came to the mansion to ask questions several times."

  Gu Jinyu smiled in relief: "Jinyu also misses aunt very much."

  While talking, someone came to report, and the second son and the third son came.

  The old lady Gu's face immediately showed unconcealed favor.

  If you say who Mrs. Gu loves most in her heart, it is none other than the three precious grandchildren. Even the biological son of Master Gu Hou is not as important as the grandchildren in her mind.

  Gu Chengfeng and Gu Chenglin drew a curtain to enter.

   "Grandma."

   "Father."

  The two bowed their hands.

  Gu Jinyu stood up and saluted the two brothers: "Second brother, third brother."

  Gu Chenglin gave her a lukewarm look.

  Gu Chengfeng said: "You don’t need to be polite."

   said polite words, but his tone was very alienated.

  Gu Jinyu is used to it. The brothers are not targeting her, but the mother, but the mother’s children will not be liked by the brothers.

   "Where is your eldest brother? Why didn't you see him?" Mrs. Gu asked.

  Gu Chengfeng said: "Big brother came back late last night, and went to the barracks again early in the morning."

  The eldest grandson of the Ding’an Hou Mansion is not so easy to do. He is the heir of the Hou Mansion. He bears the rise and fall of the Hou Mansion, and he has to work harder than other children.

  Old lady Gu loves her grandson, but she can’t really drag him back from the barracks.

  Seeing that the time is almost here, it’s time to get to the point. He cleared his throat and said to Mrs. Gu: "Mother, I have something to tell you."

   "What's the matter?" Mrs. Gu looked at him suspiciously.

  Gu Houye glanced at Gu Jinyu who was aside, took a deep breath, and solemnly said: "It's about the life experience of two children."

  ……

  Gu Jiao stayed at home for several days, and finally both yards were trimmed. She planted green onions, rapeseed and lettuce in the small vegetable garden, and planted some peas under the begging of the small clear space.

  The small vegetable garden only occupies the left half of the yard. On the right half, Gu Jiao thought about building a grape rack, planting some gourds, and planting some grapes and loofah in the spring next year.

  Xiao Liulang has brought back the waist card of the Imperial College, and by the way also signed up for Xiao Jingkong.

Guozijian’s education is also divided into classes. According to the grades and ages, they are divided into four classes, Tiandi Xuanhuang, and besides these four classes, there is a very special class that specializes in recruiting talented children, somewhat similar to Gu Jiao’s previous life. Prodigy class.

  This kind of class was only opened in recent years, and Xiao Liulang never attended it when he was a child.

  Gu Jiao's cutting of vegetables stopped: "Huh? The Imperial College has been closed for a few years? Didn't the school have been shut down?"

Xiao Liulang added a firewood to the stove: "Strictly speaking, the education of the Guozijian does not belong to the Guozijian. It is separated from the Guozijian by an alley. When your Majesty closed the Guozijian, he did not deliberately mention the matter of the education. , Has been in operation till now."

   has been open for a few years, so I should be quite experienced in teaching child prodigies.

  Gu Jiao said: "What will the entrance examination test?"

  Xiao Liulang said: "From the examination situation in previous years, the main test is literacy, scripture and arithmetic."

  Gu Jiao snorted: "These small headrooms are all right."

   "Yeah." Xiao Liulang nodded.

   But to be on the safe side, the two of them still spent a lot of money to buy back the exam questions from previous years and give them to Xiaojingkong. The accuracy of Xiaojingkong is very high, but the writing is slow, ugly, and extremely ugly!

  There is one more item in the daily itinerary of   small clearance: writing brush writing.

  Xiao Jingkong is not happy, he suspects that the bad brother-in-law is depriving him of his happiness as a child!

  Xiao Liulang said to him: "Jiaojiao also practice calligraphy every day, you two together."

  Thinking of being alone with Jiaojiao, Xiao Jingkong happily agreed!

  Gu Jiao hasn't dreamed for a long time.

  The last time I dreamed was before Xiao Liulang went to the provincial, urban and rural areas for the test, four months have passed so far.

  She almost forgot what she could dream of.

   However, this night, when she and Xiao Jingkong finished their calligraphy and returned to the house, she fell into a strange dream in a short while.

The reason why    is unfamiliar is that it is neither Xiao Liulang nor herself who appears in her dream.

   is the man she has almost forgotten about and saved Xiaojingkong.

  The man is wearing a cyan armor and a blood cloak, sitting on a majestic war horse.

  When passing a secluded alley, the man encountered a wave of ambushes. The assassins were all first-class masters. For this reason, they were still not men’s opponents.

  Just as the man was about to win, one of the assassins suddenly threw a child and stabbed the child with a sword.

  The man was cut in the right arm by the assassin in order to save the child.

  The assassin’s sword was very poisonous. Although the man’s life was saved, his right arm was never used.

  Strictly speaking, this assassination has something to do with Small Clearance.

  This group of assassins had been following the man secretly for a long time, and never dared to do anything. They accidentally ran into the man and saved an unarmed child. They decided to do the same, and they had the following assassination.

   After Gu Jiao woke up, she looked a little inexplicable.

  She is getting more and more confused about her dreams. Nowadays, can anyone who can't be beaten by her can be dreamed of by her?

   But anyway, he has saved Xiao Jingkong's life, not to mention the inspiration for this assassination because he saved Xiao Jingkong.

  She can’t sit idly by.

  The time of the assassination was tomorrow evening. As for the location, she remembered that there was a Xiangyun Inn nearby where the man was assassinated.
