The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife

The latest website: The Empress Dowager Zhuang gave a pause when she picked up the banknote.

The rain was heavy and the wind was strong. If the Empress Dowager Zhuang raised her head, she would not be able to open her eyes at all.

She just squatted so stiffly on the ground where the rain was forming rivers, like a little old lady in the country picking vegetable seedlings on the ridge of the field.

She only paused for a moment before continuing to pick up the banknotes.

I must have missed Jiaojiao too much and heard wrong.

With such heavy rain, how could Jiaojiao appear here?

"Auntie?"

There was another familiar voice, this time directly approaching the top of her head.

The boy in coir raincoat and bamboo hat knelt down on one knee beside her.

The Empress Dowager Zhuang still couldn't raise her eyes, but she caught a glimpse of the ugly red-tasseled gun, pigtails, and big red flowers, which were so familiar that she couldn't be more familiar.

However, Empress Dowager Zhuang suddenly stopped looking up.

She lowered her head and brushed the hair that was drooping on her cheeks in the rain, trying to straighten it out so that she would not look so embarrassed.

She also moved her numb toes, as if she wanted to assume a less embarrassing squatting position.

Gu Jiao tilted her head and looked at her: "Auntie, is it really you? Why are you here?"

This time, the aunt is no longer in a questioning tone, she is really sure that she has met the person who is the least likely to appear in Dayan Kingdom, and is also the person she has been thinking about all the time.

The old lady was wronged all of a sudden. She didn't feel wronged at all when she was robbed in the street, steamed into shrimps in the carriage, beaten by wind and rain, and couldn't get up after falling down again and again.

But Gu Jiao's "auntie" made all her strength break in an instant.

Her eye circles were red.

Like a child who was bullied outside and finally found by his parents.

Her small mouth was constricted, her nose was sore, and she cried, "Why did you come—I've been waiting for you all day—"

Gu Jiao was at a loss for a moment, and said in a daze: "I, I... I walked slowly on the road,

I'll pay attention next time, I don't take a carriage anymore, I ride a horse, I ride Black Wind King. "

The old lady didn't understand what the Black Wind King was, so she squatted on the ground clutching the silver ticket, so aggrieved that she twitched.

"Aijia didn't cry."

she said stubbornly.

"Uh, yes, my aunt didn't cry." Gu Jiao hurriedly took off her coir raincoat and put it on the Empress Dowager Zhuang.

"Aijia doesn't need it, you wear it." The Empress Dowager Zhuang said, not only to reject Gu Jiao's coir raincoat, but also to take off the bamboo hat on her head.

Gu Jiao stopped her.

There is no pressure to stop a little old lady with Gu Jiao's strength.

She tied up her bamboo hat and coir raincoat so tightly that the Empress Dowager Zhuang couldn't take them off even if she wanted to.

Seeing this, the Empress Dowager Zhuang no longer struggled fearlessly. She sniffed, pointed to a bank note in front of her and said, "It's the last one, my feet are numb."

Gu Jiao went to pick up the bank note and handed it to Empress Dowager Zhuang.

After Empress Dowager Zhuang received the banknote, she didn't put it away immediately, but handed it to Gu Jiao together with the rest of the banknote in her hand: "Here, here it is for you."

Many years later, when Gu Jiao was galloping on the battlefield, she could always recall this scene—on a heavy rainy day, she traveled thousands of miles and squatted on the ground to pick up the flying bank notes one by one, just to hand them to her intact.

When she was living at school in her previous life, she never understood why her roommate's mother could take a few cars from the countryside to the city, suffering from motion sickness, just to deliver a jar of pickles to her daughter who was living on campus.

She thought, she understood that feeling.

Gu Jiao carried her aunt to the restaurant near the alley, and came back to carry the old Jijiu.

"Two wing rooms are required." Gu Jiao said.

The old Jijiu was wandering around the entrance of Lingbo Academy, and the nearby shops had already caught his attention. The shopkeeper of the inn originally wanted to check the identity of the two elders, but Gu Jiao directly showed the token of the National Teacher Hall.

The shopkeeper tensed up instantly: "Please, old lady, please, old lady! Please, young master!"

"Bring two buckets of hot water." Gu Jiao ordered.

The shopkeeper hurriedly responded: "Yes! Yes! Here we come!"

The Empress Dowager Zhuang glanced at the shopkeeper whose attitude suddenly changed: "What token do you have that works so well?"

Are you still worried that a few children will live a hard life due to various reasons, but it seems to be different from what you think?

"The token of the National Teacher Hall." Gu Jiao said truthfully.

Empress Dowager Zhuang hummed calmly.

At this moment, she was a little immersed in the excitement of meeting Gu Jiao, but she didn't realize what the National Teacher Hall was.

Although the two elders brought luggage, they were all wet by the heavy rain.

After Gu Jiao sent the two elders to their respective rooms, she went to a nearby tailor shop to buy some dry clothes. She herself had spare clothes in the carriage.

Gu Jiao came to pick up Xiao Qingkong today, but who would have thought that the little guy went into the palace with the little princess.

The corner of Queen Mother Zhuang's mouth twitched, is the little monk doing so well? Are you able to visit Dayan Palace?

"Then what are you doing as a weapon?"

As expected of the queen mother, her eyes are very vicious.

Gu Jiao scratched her little head: "There are a lot of enemies recently, so defend yourself."

The Empress Dowager Zhuang sat in the bathtub behind the screen, humming calmly.

As if to say, this is the correct way to open, she knew it was not peaceful, and she came at the right time.

When the Empress Dowager Zhuang and the old Jijiu finished packing up, Xiao Heng also rushed over.

When Gu Jiao went downstairs to buy clothes, she asked the coachman to go back to the National Teacher Hall, and asked Xiao Heng to come to this restaurant.

Xiao Heng didn't know that it was his aunt and the old man offering wine, when he entered the wing room, he saw the two old men sitting on the grand teacher's chair, he was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth.

There are not many opportunities to see Xiao Heng lose his composure like this.

Gu Jiao sat beside her aunt, looking at him leisurely, the corners of her lips curled up slightly.

Obviously enjoying Xianggong's bewildered little expression very much.

It took Xiao Heng a long time to wake up from the shock, he hurried into the room and closed the door, and put the latch on it.

"Auntie, teacher." He greeted in surprise.

The old Jijiu coughed lightly: "It's easy to reveal your identity if you call him a teacher or something."

"Grandpa." Xiao Heng changed his words.

The old Jijiu picked up the teacup in his hand with satisfaction, and took a sip calmly.

Xiao Heng was really shocked, he couldn't believe what he saw, but the second elder really appeared in his Dayan's Shengdu.

Xiao Heng took a deep breath, suppressed the remaining shock in his heart, and asked the second elder: "Auntie, uncle, why did you come to Yan Country?"

The old Jijiu asked with a tone: "Are you asking about the reason, or the method?"

Xiao Heng said: "Don't pick your words."

"Before answering your question, tell me what's going on with your face?" Old Jijiu asked looking at the tear mole under his right eye.

This tear mole was originally lost by Princess Xinyang.

Xiao Heng touched the tear mole under his eyes, and said, "It was painted."

The old Jijiu said, "What are you painting this for?"

Xiao Heng said: "I'll talk to you later, first tell me why you and your aunt came here."

The old Jijiu straightened his expression: "Aren't you worried about you? You have been gone for so long, and there is not even a letter."

It has only been three months since we left Zhaoguo. You guys set off more than a month ago, and you have only waited for more than a month. Jiaojiao has been fighting longer than this.

"How?" Xiao Heng asked.

The old Jijiu brushed off his wide sleeves, and said rather proudly: "Your uncle, I forged a letter of employment from Lingbo Academy."

Xiao Heng: "..."

You don't have to stress about uncle and grandpa.

As for why Lao Jijiu knew what the employment letter from Lingbo Academy looked like, it was because Feng Lao had received it before. Six academies in the country of Yan sent invitations to Mr. Chao Feng, and Lingbo Academy in Shengdu was among them.

It's a pity that they were all rejected by Feng Lao.

Old Jijiu had seen those documents, and forged a copy according to his memory.

However, the anti-counterfeiting of Lingbo Academy is so good that he imitated it for more than a month before he succeeded.

If you want to change someone else, you can't imitate it at all.

Gu Jiao leaned against her aunt and quietly listened to the master and apprentice talking. She was rarely so close to people, she looked as if she was snuggling in her aunt's arms.

At this moment, she is not the commander of the Black Wind Rider who is fighting bloody battles, nor is she a young genius doctor who saves lives and heals the wounded, but she is the aunt's Jiaojiao.

Empress Dowager Zhuang is not used to getting close to people, but with Gu Jiao by her side, she can let go of all guards.

Of course, she didn't hold Gu Jiao in her arms crookedly, that wasn't her temperament, and it didn't fit Gu Jiao's temperament either.

The relationship between the two goes beyond the apparent intimacy, and is a tacit understanding that can burn life for each other.

This conversation was mainly between Xiao Heng and Lao Jijiu.

My aunt and Gu Jiao were the audience in the room, and while watching the master and apprentice talking, they blew their beards and stared, enjoying the long-lost intimacy and peace.

Both feel really good.

It's good to have my aunt by my side.

It's great to have found Jiaojiao.

...

"Okay, we're done with our business, it's time to talk about yours." The old Jijiu said.

He didn't mention the hardships of the journey, but Xiao Heng and Gu Jiao firmly believed in their journey, not to mention that they were old.

"Okay, okay, what's the situation on your side?" Old Jijiu was most afraid of sudden sensationalism, so he hurriedly urged Xiao Heng to exchange information about Shengdu.

The situation on their side is a bit complicated, Xiao Heng has no way to talk about it for a while, so he can only start with his and Gu Jiao's current identities.

"What? You replaced Shangguan Qing as the eldest grandson of the emperor?" The old Jijiu was shocked, co-authoring him and Zhuang Jinse was not the biggest shock, but Xiao Heng's background was!

Xiao Heng said again: "I forgot to say, Shangguan Qing is Xiao Qing, the son of my mother and my father."

The old Jijiu thought: "Princess Xinyang and Xuanpinghou's son? Is that child still alive?"

"Yes." Xiao Heng said, "I was brought to Yan Kingdom by my mother."

The old Jijiu was a little overwhelmed: "Your mother is—"

Xiao Heng replied seriously: "The former princess of Dayan, Shangguan Yan."

So the woman who was brought back to the capital by Marquis Xuanping was not a slave of Yan, but a royal princess.

Is Xuan Pinghou so lucky?

Empress Dowager Zhuang is a person from the palace after all, her sensitivity and acceptance in this regard are higher than that of Lao Jijiu, her reaction is quite calm.

But when Xiao Heng talked about Gu Jiao, she couldn't calm down anymore.

The adopted son of the Duke's Mansion, the commander-in-chief of the Black Wind Rider, and the public enemy of the top ten families——

Empress Dowager Zhuang's mouth twitched.

She said how could this girl not do anything?

Look at her almost turning Shengdu upside down.

——Still on your own.

Xiao Heng talked with Lao Jijiu for a full hour before finally exchanging all the information.

The two elders fell silent.

A few little things are messing around here and there, and there are too many showy operations, they are already too shocked, they need time to digest.

Although Xiao Heng and Gu Jiao have achieved many victories at this stage, in the eyes of the experienced Empress Dowager Zhuang and Lao Jijiu, the playing style of these little things is still not perfect. Organization and planning.

Thinking about how fierce the Empress Dowager Zhuang fought with the old Jijiu back then, it was from the court to the harem, from the harem to the officialdom, and even indirectly affected the battlefield.

Just the means of the two little things, drizzle.

Empress Dowager Zhuang snorted: "If you had been capable like Ah Heng back then, the Ai family would have exiled you for three thousand miles, and you would never be able to return to Beijing for the rest of your life!"

The old Jijiu cut out: "If you were as aggressive as Jiaojiao back then, I would have let you sit through the cold palace long ago!"

Xiao Heng and Gu Jiao: "..."

The quarrel between you two is a quarrel, can you not bring us along?

We don't want to lose face, do we?

Besides, you didn't have to hide your identities back then, so of course you could fight as much as you wanted!

Let you change to Yan Country to hide your name and try it out!

So angry.

The young couple turned their faces away.

"Ahem." The old Jijiu was defeated by the Empress Dowager Zhuang's death stare, "Heng, where do you live now?"

...

Half an hour later, a carriage drove into the National Teacher Hall.

As soon as the heavy rain stopped, Yu He came over from the west corridor carrying the boiled soup, and saw Xiao Heng and Gu Jiao leading a strange old couple into the Qilin Hall.

He wondered: "His Royal Highness, Mr. Xiao, they are—"

Xiao Heng said calmly: "They are young master Xiao's patients, they came from the outer city, and there was nowhere to go when it rained heavily, so I decided to bring them here first. I will talk to the national teacher later."

Yu He hurriedly said: "No, it's a trivial matter. Master, the old man explained that His Royal Highness Changsun regards the National Teacher Hall as his home, so you don't have to be polite."

After all, Your Highness Changsun, you have never been polite to the National Teacher Hall.

It's not once or twice that you brought those cronies from the rivers and lakes to spend the night. This time you brought two normal patients, which is considered a pleasant surprise.

How did Xiao Heng know that Shangguan Qing was so unscrupulous, and he was being polite when he was a national teacher.

Recently, the inner city has been strictly inspected, and the two aunts were left in the inn. Xiao Heng and Gu Jiao were worried, so they temporarily brought the two elders back to the National Teacher Hall.

But the National Teacher's Palace is not a place to live for a long time, and at dawn tomorrow, Xiao Heng set out to find a suitable house.

There are many wing rooms in the Qilin Hall, and there are more than ten rooms in the east corridor, only Xiao Heng, Gu Jiao, Shangguan Yan, Xiao Jingkong, and a few servants live in it, and many rooms are empty.

Because it is "two parents-in-law", it is too strange to live in two rooms, Gu Jiao only asked the servants to clean up one room.

The old Jijiu looked at the spacious room and said nervously: "That, that, I'm going to sleep on the floor tonight."

"Hehe." Empress Dowager Zhuang rolled her eyes and went to Gu Jiao's side.

"His Royal Highness!"

The four palace servants who were sweeping the corridor saluted Xiao Heng in unison.

Xiao Heng nodded slightly: "Go and do your work."

"Yes." The four continued to work.

Empress Dowager Zhuang just walked to the door of Gu Jiao's room.

She looked at the two court ladies and two eunuchs who were cleaning.

His eyes fell on one of them, and his brows frowned slightly.
