Chapter 049 Recruiting Talents, Gu Family in Tokyo(2/2)
Immediately, he took the stones and three thousand soldiers and horses and went straight into Haozhou.
In Tokyo City, Gu family, ever since he knew that Gu Tingye was going to Haozhou to quell the rebellion, Gu Yankai has been particularly concerned about the news about this group of rebels. Even on the Lantern Festival, something as big as the noble girl being kidnapped occurred in the capital.
I calmed down and went to the Privy Council every day to keep an eye on the news in Haozhou.
Gu Er did not disappoint him. Within a few days, Gu Er defeated the rebels in Shen County and the news of regaining Shen County spread back to Tokyo. This was a rare victory for the imperial court since the uprising of the rebels. Although everyone in the court
In the eyes of the public, the rebellion was just a scabies disease and he didn't take it seriously at all. However, after a noble girl was kidnapped in Tokyo during the Lantern Festival, the matter became serious.
After all, Rong Feiyan of the Marquis of Fuchang Mansion could not escape his destiny. On the day of the Lantern Festival, in the most prosperous street in Tokyo, at the feet of the emperor, in the bright universe, he was kidnapped by thieves. A few days later
He was thrown into the street in his rags and hanged himself that night.
Although anyone with a discerning eye can see who did this, the official family is seriously ill and King Yong is powerful. No one dares to stand up and speak for the Rong family. The court can only attribute this matter to the rebels.
superior.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! It was at this time that the news that Gu Er defeated the rebels and regained Shen County came back to Tokyo. The Privy Council immediately ordered that Gu Er was promoted to one level and temporarily took over Luzhou.
, Hezhou and other states sent troops to attack the rebels.
Gu Yan was so relieved that his old face, which had been stern for more than ten years, finally showed a smile of relief.
But other people in Ningyuan Hou's mansion couldn't sit still, especially Gu Er's Bodhisattva-like stepmother, Madam Xiao Qin.
After receiving the news that Gu Er had been rewarded by the court for his meritorious service, Xiao Qin's house contained two broken tea cups, a pair of fine Ru kiln vases, a lot of rouge, gouache, bronze mirrors, etc.
"What do the Bai family do for food!" Xiao Qin gritted his teeth and said with a ferocious expression: "It's been so long, why haven't you done anything yet!"
"Madam, please don't get angry. Second brother is in the military camp now. The Bai family is just a salt merchant. Even if they have great power, it would be difficult for them to sneak into the army and take action against second brother!" Aunt Xiang next to her hurriedly advised.
.
At this time, a female envoy hurried in to report that Gu Yankai was back. Xiao Qin and Grandma Xiang changed their expressions and quickly asked people to pack their things. Xiao Qin quickly packed up her appearance, and her ferocious expressions instantly appeared.
He turned into a kind and compassionate smile, and he was faster than flipping through a book. He immediately ran towards grandma to meet Gu Yankai, and he must not let him see the situation in the room.
Xiao Qin had been pretending to be in front of Gu Yankai for more than 20 years. Gu Yankai naturally didn't know Xiao Qin's sinister intentions and just thought it was a difficult stepmother. Xiao Qin was afraid of estrangement from Gu Er, so he let Gu Er and Sanlang
When there was a quarrel between the brothers, they protected each other and pampered them in everything.
In Gu Yankai's eyes, Xiao Qin is a loving mother who dotes on her children. Although she has some faults, her intentions are good. He thinks that she is just like him, thinking only about her son.
So when he saw Xiao Qin, Gu Yankai naturally confided all his feelings, not concealing his joy that Gu Er's prodigal son had turned around and found his way back. He even added a sentence at the end: "As expected of me, Gu Yankai's son.
My Gu family finally has a successor!"
Gu Yankai just spoke with emotion for a moment, but he didn't want the speaker to be unintentional and the listener to be intentional.
A flash of light flashed in Xiao Qin's eyes. Now Gu Yankai is at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period. God knows how many years Gu Tingyu can still hold on. If Gu Tingyu passes away without leaving any heirs, the Gu family's property will not be that of Ningyuan Marquis.
The title naturally belonged to Gu Tingye.
"Now that Erlang has found his way back from his lost ways, he has made such great achievements. Sister Bai must be very pleased to know that he knows this!" Xiao Qin said this with a look of relief, but as soon as he said these words, Gu Yan, who was opposite him, couldn't help but follow suit.
It brings about changes.
In the past, the imperial court had demanded debts from the Lord's family for many years, and several Lords had been imprisoned. At that time, the Gu family was already an empty shell. How could they come up with so much money, so Gu Yankai was forced to marry the Bai family.
The Bai family's three ships and five carts of dowry paid for the Gu family's shortfall, thus preserving the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion. Now this Marquis Mansion, as well as the capital that the sons of the Gu family are squandering every day, really have to be calculated in detail.
The money brought by Bai.
Gu Yan wants to be a manly man, but he has to rely on his wife's dowry to protect himself and the wealth of the Marquis. What's the difference between doing this and eating soft rice? Since ancient times, men who eat soft rice have been the ones who can't hold their heads high outside.
, although outsiders don't know about this, Gu Yankai is a dignified Ningyuan Marquis no matter what, and he is proud of himself.
This is also one of the reasons why Gu Yankai did not have a deep relationship with Mr. Bai. After marrying Mr. Bai, there was no smile on his face. This matter has always been deeply rooted in Gu Yan's heart.
The thorn cannot be removed, and it hurts when touched.
"It's just that the battlefield is dangerous. Those traitors are all vicious. They dare to come to Tokyo to cause trouble and kidnap noble girls in the street. Erlang is alone on the front line. If something happens, how can I explain to the Bai family sister!"
As she spoke, Xiao Qin wiped her tears with a handkerchief.
Gu Yankai didn't think much about it. He really thought that Xiao Qin was worried about Gu Er's safety, and hurriedly persuaded him: "My Gu family started with military exploits. We have been favored by the emperor and are now rich and noble. It is all thanks to the sacrifices of our ancestors on the battlefield."
Fighting in a bloody battle, since he, Gu Tingye, is a descendant of my Gu family, he should be ready to go to the battlefield. That is, when the imperial court goes to war with Xixia and Khitan in the future, and the officials give an order, I, a descendant of the Gu family, will wear armor and hold a gun, and lead the soldiers.
Even if the battlefield is stained with blood, we must not lose the prestige of the Gu family!"
