Chapter 27 Dingfeng Bo

It is advisable to travel on October 21st.

When the carriage from the Marquis of Pingyang's Mansion arrived at the Duke of Qingguo's Mansion, the door of the mansion was already bustling.

The carriages of each mansion were parked on both sides of the gate in an orderly manner, with beautiful maids and servants, noble girls coming and going, with cloudy hair and flowers, and the fragrance floating.

As soon as Gu Xiyan held Indigo Yu's hand and came out of the carriage, a servant from the Gu family ran over there and bowed deeply to her, "Miss, the lady has arrived, and she is drinking tea in the flower hall now."

Five days ago, Duke Qingguo's wife sent invitations to the officials and relatives in Shengjing City, saying that it was the flowers and trees planted in the back garden of Duke Qingguo's mansion, and the garden was full of fragrant flowers. I specially invited all the noble ladies to visit the mansion.

Gu’s father Gu Wanqian became the Minister of Rites. In addition, Gu Xiyan was given a marriage by the emperor and became the legitimate wife of the Marquis of Pingyang. The Gu family was cooked with fire and became more and more prosperous. Therefore, Gu Xiyan’s mother Gu Lin was also invited to enjoy the flower viewing party.

Following the maid from Duke Qing's mansion through the hanging flower door, through the hand-pawning veranda on both sides, then turning over the marble screen with enamel landscapes. After walking for a long time, I came to the flower hall.

There were a lot of ladies and ladies sitting in the flower hall, and they were greeting each other in groups of three or three.

Gu Xiyan walked straight to the hall and greeted several older noble ladies who were present.

The wife of Dingguo Duke Shi was talking to several familiar ladies around him. When he saw Gu Xiyan coming to pay a visit, he quickly stood up and helped her up and said, "Mrs. Pingyang Hou, no need to be polite.

I have long heard of the bright and charming wife's life, but now when I see it, I really say it. I am like a golden boy and a jade girl with the Marquis of Pingyang!"

The Shi family was born into a military general family, and every move was full of cool style, and even praise was particularly straightforward.

Gu Xiyan smiled embarrassedly, exchanged a few more greetings, and then turned around to Binshi to find his mother Gu Lin to sit down.

Since Gu Xiyan returned to the door for three dynasties last time, this is the second time Gu Lin has seen his daughter.

When Gu Xiyan fell down, Gu Lin hurriedly took her hand and lowered his voice to ask how he was in Pingyang's mansion recently, how well his inner house was under the jurisdiction of the inner house, how he recovered, etc.

Gu Xiyan answered one by one, blushing, "Marty...Marty is quite considerate of her daughter, and after that day, she became much more sensible..."

Gu Lin nodded, "The Marquis is a rough and delicate person. Since your husband understands it, you must not take Qiao. Although a woman should have a good attitude in her boudoir affairs, she should not be too delicate and willful!"

Gu Xiyan blushed and replied "Yes", and then heard Gu Lin ask again: "Recently, the news about the Cao family in Qingzhou is rumored to be rumored in Beijing. I heard that the Cao family is the cousin of the second wife of Xiao's house. Your father asked me to ask you, how clear are you about the situation?"

There is no airtight wall in the world.

Regardless of whether intentional or unintentional, the affairs of the Cao family in Qingzhou were spread to ten or ten, and were blown even harder than the west wind in Shengjing City.

Three days ago, in the morning court of the Golden Palace, Shen Jie, the counselor, held an ivory tablet in his hand, came up and studied Cao Yong and a book without mercy.

As soon as this incident happened, it immediately caused an uproar in the court.

Now three days have passed, Cao Yongji, the magistrate of Qingzhou, has become a figure that everyone knows about and is well-known to the officials in Shengjing City.

The affairs of the Cao family in Qingzhou seem to be Cao Yong and the unkind, unrighteous and rude family affairs, but a smart person can see at a glance that behind the affairs of the Cao family in Qingzhou is actually a state affairs.

Emperor Cheng'an was about to reform. In various prefectures and counties, some old-fashioned and conservative families shouted "The laws of ancestors are unchangeable", which became a stumbling block on the journey of Emperor Cheng'an's great cause of reform.

The Zhang family was a large clan entrenched in Qingzhou for generations. Most of the disciples of the clan entered the officialdom and were densely embedded in the bureaucratic system of Qingzhou.

This situation is not an isolated case.

On the territory of the Dayan Dynasty, all the prefectures and counties had aristocratic families and were feared by the superiors.

But there are very few people like Qingzhou who have in-laws and families with in-laws.

That morning, the Censor Shen Jie left the list and studied Cao Yong and Yipeng. Several officials who claimed to be "clear stream" came out to prove that what the Censor Shen Jie said was true.

A morning court came down and it completely became the briefing meeting for the little Qingzhou magistrate.

Whether the aristocratic families or large families are not tidying up, it is all within the emperor's thoughts.

Except for Shen Jie and a few "right ministers" who adhered to the original intention of eliminating harm for the people, most of the other ministers were more "betting" on the emperor's heart.

Emperor Cheng'an had long wanted to attack the gentry and clear the obstacles to the great cause of reform.

Cao Yongji emerged at this critical moment, and it was like a fire lead to Emperor Cheng'an.

The reform is imminent, and if you wait any longer, you will be afraid that it will be difficult to make a comeback. This is the best opportunity.

As expected, the emperor in the Golden Palace was furious after hearing the remarks of the ministers.

Immediately issued an order to suspend Cao Yong and Qingzhou magistrate, and the Dali Temple Minister was fully in charge of the matter.

...

After hearing this, Gu Xiyan immediately glanced around and pulled Gu Lin to get up and said, "Mother, why not go to the garden and talk to yourself while enjoying the flowers."

Although the Qing Duke's Mansion is not as exaggerated as the Pingyang Marquis Mansion, it is still quite spacious, especially the back garden, pavilions, towers, mountains, rivers and stones, and is particularly beautiful.

It is October now, and the yard is full of hibiscus, hibiscus, cereals, and chrysanthemums... flowers are blooming in the season, with flowers clustered together and birds singing fragrant.

"Mother, the emperor decided on the affairs of the Cao family in Qingzhou. My father has never acted rashly. Remember, as long as he does not lose his composure in the Golden Palace, there will be no major problems."

Gu Xiyan broke a wooden lotus and held it on his fingertips to play with it. "What my daughter can be sure about the affairs of the Cao family in Qingzhou is that the rumors that the scandals of the Cao family are indeed true."

After hearing this, Gu Lin sighed and said, "Your father had planned so too.

Not to mention that Lord Cao is an unkind and unrighteous person - the Cao family in Qingzhou is really unlucky, but he just hit the saint at this critical moment. Look at this posture, the Cao family in Qingzhou is probably doomed."

After hearing this, Gu Xiyan twisted the wood lotus with his fingertips and smiled slightly.

What is right or wrong in the court?

Only win or lose.

As long as you guess the saint's thoughts, you will win and not lose.

On the contrary, if it happens to go against the saint's mind, if you don't go to hell, who will go to hell?

Besides, Cao Yong and what he did are really despised.

The atmosphere of the Dayan Dynasty was quite open. Gu Xiyan heard that some days ago, someone had written a book about the matter of the Cao family in Qingzhou, and it was staged one after another in the teahouse and theater. On and off the stage, they were scolding Cao Yong and unkind and unrighteous.

Not to mention how scholars satirized Cao Yong and humiliated poetry and books, what they did was not human.

The mother and daughter walked forward dozens of steps, turned over the lotus pond in the rockery, and heard a burst of noise. It turned out that there was a place to throw pots and shoot archers in front. Several lively noble girls were pulling bows and throwing pots, which was very lively.

There was an ornamental seat next to it, and more than a dozen noble ladies gathered together, watching the singing and dancing, drinking tea and chatting happily.

As soon as the mother and daughter sat down, a middle-aged woman with a towering high bun next to her stood up and walked towards them, "Madam Pingyang Hou, Mrs. Gu!"

Gu Xiyan looked closely and found that it was Li, the wife of the second wife of the Korean husband, so she had to get up and see the greeting.

The Korean Duke’s Mansion has no family, so there are still a lot of three-bedroom people living in the mansion.

The Korean wife is calm and does not like to attend such a small gathering of noble ladies. The female family members of the second and third rooms have always been very lively. The female family members in Shengjing are not absent from the banquet and small gatherings. They always hold some timely and festival-oriented gatherings in the Korean Mansion.

"Watching autumn is approaching, taking advantage of the last flowering period of Guizi, the Duke's mansion specially prepared a chrysanthemum feast... They used hairy crabs in Poyang Lake and chrysanthemum wine made from snow water every year... Please ask Mrs. Pingyang Hou and Mrs. Gu to enjoy their faces!"

Li said with a smile.

"That's really rare! The second wife is so elegant and interesting, I believe the Duke's wife has also prepared a lot for the banquet.

I and my mother like these elegant and unconventional gatherings the most... It's a pity..." Gu Xiyan said with a regretful look on his face, "It's a pity that the Baptism of my dear aunt's legitimate son will be in two days. It's a coincidence that I ran into the banquet of the mansion!"

After hearing this, Gu Lin looked at Gu Xiyan and said regretfully, "My direct relative's sister has a miserable life. She has never had anything to do after five years of marriage.

I don’t know how many Qianjinji medicines I have used, but now I have finally got a legitimate son. I am also happy for her as my sister.”

After all the words were said, Li was not willing to force it, and said, "Then please take a good place for me! The gatherings at our mansion are often there. Next time, Mrs. Pingyang Hou and Mrs. Gu will remember to come."

The mother and daughter responded quickly, exchanged a few more greetings before giving up.

When Li returned and left his seat, Gu Lin said in a low voice, "You kid is so lying, and you are talking nonsense and talking nonsense?"

The son of your aunt's eldest cousin is ten years old! How can you do the three-handed baptism?

!”

"What's more, your grandfather Lin family has saved the Korean Duke! Although we don't ask for Korean Kung Fu to repay you, there is no need to be so deliberately alienated from the Han family..."

The Han Gong Mansion has a great relationship with Gu Xiyan’s grandfather Lin family.

When the Korean Prince Han Ye was born, he was diagnosed with a heart disease by the imperial physician.

At that time, the Lin clan had already retired to the mountains and forests. The Han Gong Mansion asked someone to seek medical treatment several times. It took two years before he could reach the gate of the grandfather Lin clan.

The Han Gong knelt in front of the mountain for a day and a night before asking Gu Xiyan's maternal ancestor Lin to come out of the mountain and bring the prince into the deep mountains where Lin lived in seclusion for treatment.

The Korean Prince was recuperating in the mountains for two years.

During that time, the Lin clan was like scattered gold all day long, using rare medicine and strange prescriptions to raise the young prince, and then he barely cured the heart disease brought out of the mother's womb.

After the palace change during the Lingguan period, the Lin clan retreated from the head of the Imperial Hospital and asked to retire to the mountains and forests. From then on, all contacts with the people in the court were eliminated.

Therefore, after curing the Korean Prince, the Lin family did not seek repaid kindness, but only asked the Korean Prince not to make any statement or disclose any information.

Gu Lin was born in the Xinglin family. The so-called doctors are kind-hearted. Gu Lin taught Gu Xi to be kind since childhood to be kind and be kind to others.

After hearing this, Gu Xiyan hurriedly whispered, "Mother, there is another reason for me to refuse like this."

In the last life, when Emperor Cheng'an was lingering in his sick bed, his will was sealed in the central palace.

The prince and the fourth prince went to war.

The leader of the prince's party is Xiao Rang, and the leader of the fourth prince's party is Han Ye, the prince of the Korean Duke.

The crown prince was the crown prince whom Emperor Cheng'an issued an order. If the crown prince ascended the throne, it would be legitimate.

But the fourth prince is just a prince. Even if he wins the war in the end and becomes a treasure, he will not escape the reputation of "rebellion".
