Chapter 074 Changes in the Gu family, Gu Ers wedding
As soon as Wang Chong went down the yamen, he saw Gu Er who had been waiting outside the yamen for a long time.
"Why are you not busy preparing for the wedding? Why are you looking for me when you have time?" Wang Chong smiled and went up to joke with Gu Er.
Gu Er said: "There are people in the palace to arrange the wedding, so I don't have to worry about it!"
But there was no smile on his face.
"What's wrong, are you? Good things are coming, why don't you smile?" Wang Chong looked at Gu Er in confusion.
Gu Er said: "Go to Fanlou, let's eat and talk."
Seeing that Gu Er seemed to have something to do, Wang Chong did not refuse. He sent Yu Chu Er home to inform him, and he followed Gu Er straight to Fanlou.
Although it was afternoon and it was not until dinner time, there was still a lively scene in Fanlou.
Gu Er had already booked a quiet private room. The two went up to the second floor and went straight into the private room. After a while, a table of delicious wine and delicacies were served.
Since the cooking was introduced to Tokyo, the chef of Fanlou has studied it in a different way. Although the cooking skills are far less than Wang Chong's, they are not inferior to the chefs in Wang Chong's restaurant.
After being pulled by Gu Er for three drinks, Wang Chongcai asked the doubt in his heart: "What's wrong? This is?"
Gu Er said with some depression: "My father had promised me to open a ancestral hall in front of the whole clan to establish a biography and name my mother in the genealogy. But when I mentioned this at home the day before yesterday, my elder brother disagreed with it, and even tried to force me to death. The night before yesterday, my father was so angry that he vomited blood and fainted. Fortunately, he used the life-extending pill you gave him, and then he rushed to the imperial physician, and applied acupuncture and medicine to pull my father back from the gate of hell."
"Then do you still have time to find me to have a drink?" Wang Chong said angrily.
Gu Er said: "My father is now awake. The imperial physician said that he is not seriously injured and can only take care of himself slowly. Even if he is done, he will probably have to sit on a bed in the future and it will be difficult to walk like an ordinary person, let alone use force. I feel bored. Who else can I find besides looking for you?"
He sighed as he said that, looking at Gu Er who was a little dark and tired from his eyebrows, Wang Chong said, "Then your marriage?"
"My father said that no matter what, the marriage must go on as usual. If he can't see me marrying and having children, he will not be able to keep his eyes closed even if he dies!"
The knot between Gu Er and Gu Yankai was completely untied that night after the father and son joined hands to protect the king.
Wang Chong sighed: "Gu Hou's heart of loving his son is true."
Speaking of this, Gu Er couldn't help but talk about what happened to the Gu family a few days ago: "A few days ago, my father also separated the fourth and fifth uncles and the other families and asked them to move out of the Marquis' Mansion! For this matter, the fourth and fifth uncles had a fight with their father, and almost broke up."
Wang Chong said: "Your fifth aunt was killed by the rebel thief of Yanwang with a sword. The fourth aunt broke her arm. Your fourth uncle and fifth uncle were afraid that you had already had an objection to you, father and son. Gu Hou blessed them for most of his life. Now, for you, he is willing to divide the two families, and he has made up his mind."
Speaking of Gu Yankai, Gu Er couldn't help but sigh. Now as he grows older and experience increases, he also understands Gu Yankai's painstaking efforts in the past, and also knows that Gu Yankai is a hard-mouthed person, a cold and warm-hearted person, looking at Leng Ruofrost, with an extremely majestic person, but in fact, he cares for himself in his heart no less than his brother and third brother.
But when I was a teenager, I was also rushing around, regardless of consequences, short-sightedness, and only looked at the surface, which led to such a stiff relationship between father and son for so many years.
With the mediation between Wang Chong and Changbai, the relationship between father and son had already eased when Gu Er went to Quanzhou. Last year, the day when the Yan King changed his mind and forced the palace, the father and son sat down and had a good talk while they were in the palace, and they had already settled their past grudges.
"Then what your mother is doing?" Wang Chong changed his voice and asked about the topic that Gu Er hadn't finished just now.
Gu Er said: "Before my father was unconscious, he had already written a memorial and handed it to the palace. Yesterday, the official issued an order to give my mother an imperial edict. My father did not change his mind. He just waited for the clans of Xiangyang's hometown to arrive in Tokyo and opened a ancestral hall to write a family tree."
"Then your big brother?" Wang Chong asked curiously.
Gu Er snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "He really dares to commit suicide!"
The clay man also has three parts of fire, not to mention Gu Er. Gu Tingyu's repeated targeting and framed him again and again, and had already wiped out the already thin brotherhood. Now he is forced to die to force Gu Yankai not to prove Gu Er's biological mother. If Gu Ersheng was a son, if he had not been caring about blood and family affection, Gu Yankai, and the court's laws, he would have been cut off Gu Tingyu with one knife.
Wang Chong said: "To be honest, you don't have to get involved in this family, the Gu family, the wolf, tiger and leopard. If you can get out of your way, with your ability and time, it is not impossible to be a marquis and prime minister!"
"Oh!" Gu Er couldn't help but sigh when he heard this: "The blood is thicker than water, so how can you give up just by saying that you can give up? Besides, at least my father is still wholeheartedly thinking about me. My third brother has never thought of harming me. My nieces and nieces are also innocent."
"You, you!" Wang Chong shook his head and said, "But if you really give up the Gu family and ignore it, you are not Gu Tingye anymore."
"Those who know me are the princess!" Gu Er picked up the wine cup and said, "Come on, eat another one."
"Damn!" Wang Chong also picked up the wine cup, touched Gu Er for a moment, raised his head and drank it all.
"It was not until now that I understood how much pressure my father has been on his shoulders over the years." Gu Er said with emotion.
Wang Xintou said: "Hou Gu is indeed a true man who stands tall and upright."
"It is easy to avoid open guns, but it is difficult to prevent hidden arrows. Now that Gu Hou is lying in bed, the power of the Hou Mansion will inevitably be taken over by your stepmother. You have to be careful."
As soon as he changed his voice, Wang Chong hurriedly reminded: "Now it is not in Haozhou, and there are still large troops who are guarding him."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! Speaking of Haozhou, Gu Er's face turned dark. When he suppressed the rebellion in Haozhou, Gu Er was smooth sailing on the battlefield and won consecutive victories. Unexpectedly, he was assassinated in his own camp and almost died.
The commander behind the assassination was not someone else, but the Bai family in Yangzhou. Gu Er was angry at that time. He was thinking of his bloodline in the past. He did not kill all the Bai family. He only punished them and took back the property left by his grandfather, so he let them go. He never thought that the Bai family never wanted to take back the old man Bai's industries from him for a day.
At that time, Gu Er was busy fighting with the rebels on the front line and had no time to go to Yangzhou. So he asked Che Sanniang and Shi Keng to tie the Bai family's second and several masters to Gu Er in Haozhou. Faced with Gu Er's inquiry, Bai Lao Er, who was not stingy, did not hide anything, and explained everything with a bit of madness, including his collusion with people in Tokyo, preparing to take Gu Er's life.
All the information is provided by Tokyo, and the Bai family is only responsible for assassination.
Gu Er asked Che Sanniang and Shi Keng to send a few elite brothers from the Cao Gang to follow the clues and found the man Xiang Mama beside Xiao Qin. They found this. Gu Er could not guess who the master behind the scenes was.
Gu Er said: "Don't worry, I'm no longer the same as before."
"Besides, what can she do to me, a woman in the back? She is just a means of frame-up and damaging my reputation, and she can't get on the table."
"She can't deal with you, but after your wife passes the door, she can deal with your wife!" Wang Chong said: "Your stepmother has always had a great reputation among the officials in Tokyo. If she gives you a trick to sow discord and make you a estrangement between you and your wife, of course you don't care, but your wife who has no place to pass is not sure!
Your unfamiliar daughter-in-law is the British Duke's legitimate daughter. She grew up in the British Duke's Mansion. The British Duke and her brothers and sisters-in-law all care for her. Outsiders say that she is noble in character and has no dust at the moment. To be more common, isn't it just that she is simple in her mind, kind and upright, and can't rub the sand in her eyes?
But what about your stepmother? I'm afraid she's full of heart."
Gu Er felt a little nervous. He really didn't expect this, but Gu Er was not a person who easily surrendered. He looked at Wang Chong and said, "Fighting with the sky, there is endless fun, fighting with the earth, there is endless fun, fighting with people, there is endless joy, you said this at the beginning."
Wang Chong faced Gu Er's gaze and said, "The ones who came out of the tiger and wolf den are naturally tiger and wolf."
The eyes met and then laughed at each other.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"If I had been to Quanzhou, I was really not their opponent, but now!" Gu Er's eyes flashed, and his face changed, "It's still unknown who will win to death!"
But there is a lot of confidence in the words.
"It's not as simple as you thought!" Wang Chong shook his head and said, "Now the situation in the court is becoming more and more innovative. There is a vague trend between the Empress Dowager and the official family. It would be fine if they could be peaceful, but one day, the two sides really face each other. With your stepmother's shrewdness, you know that you can't fight you, and you will definitely take advantage of the situation."
Gu Er looked at Wang Chong with a serious expression and said, "Are you worried about the Queen Mother's love for the right person?"
Wang Chong said: "Power is indeed a good thing, but it can also corrupt people's hearts!"
"A few days ago, the Empress Dowager did not care about the face of the official family at all, and almost embarrassed the official family!" Gu Er said with some concern: "Once you have tasted the sweetness of power, how can you give up!"
"The last emperor has been in power for forty years. His reputation for benevolence and virtue has spread far and wide. The Western Xia Dynasty was in the court and the prestige was high. All the dukes in the court were promoted by the late emperor. The empress dowager has been in the position of the queen for more than 30 years. She is extremely affectionate with the late emperor, and she is also known for her virtuous reputation. Otherwise, why would the official family ask the empress dowager to come out and rule the country behind the curtain?"
Gu Er naturally understood the truth and couldn't help but sigh: "I'm afraid it's easy to invite God to send him to God!"
"It depends on Zhonghuai's ability!" Wang Chong looked at Gu Er and said.
Gu Er shook his head: "It's not easy!"
······
At night, because Minglan's belly became bigger and his body was inconvenient, Wang Chong went to Shulan's room to rest. Although Shulan's appearance was not as good as Minglan, her figure was much plump than Minglan.
After experiencing Sun Zhigao, Shulan, who knew shame and then braved her, was much more open to the joy of the boudoir than Minglan.
The room was filled with clouds and mist, which was caused by the steam.
In the bathtub, Wang Chong was naked and lay on the edge of the bathtub, revealing his strong muscles. Shulan's sleeves were tied with a shredded bath towel in her hand, and rubbed Wang Chong's back.
Wang Chong asked: "How is the business in the dyeing cloth shop recently?"
Shulan replied with a smile: "The business is very good. With the care of the Lord, no one dares to cause trouble for us. Our cloth is not expensive, the quality is good, and the colors are also diverse. It is very popular among the people. I just opened the way to Guanzhong a few days ago, and in a few days, there will be several batches of goods to be delivered!"
Wang nodded heavily and asked again: "Is there no news about the remaining fleets yet?"
Shulan shook her head and said, "There has been no news, I'm afraid it's too bad."
After a few thuds, Wang Chong stood up from his bathtub. Shulan took a bath towel and served Wang Chong to carefully wipe the water droplets on her upper body. She just turned around, but was hugged by a pair of big hands from behind.
Shulan felt that the center of gravity was unstable. Wang Chongheng had already picked up the person and walked towards the bed in the bedroom.
There was already a little bit of summer night. After a while, Shulan was sweating all over. After a while, Wang Chong pulled her into the bathtub placed in the other side of the ear room.
The next morning, at the beginning of Yin, Wang Chong woke up. Looking at Shulan who was still sleeping in his arms, Wang Chong carefully put Shulan down, took her clothes out of the house with her hands and feet, and then changed her clothes to the outside room and went to the martial arts venue.
After having breakfast with Minglan, they put on a dry and loose robe. The couple took Wang Qianer and Xu Geer to the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion with four people in a carriage.
Today is the wedding day of Gu Er and the Zhang family girl, so Wang Chong naturally cannot be late.
Soon, the carriage arrived at Ningyuan Street.
The entire Ningyuan Street is already covered with red color. Even the two stone lions at the gate of the Marquis’ Mansion are hung with red silk. The lanterns hanging under the eaves of the main entrance have been replaced with bright red, with the lanterns with gold-burned "囍" written on them.
"Oh! You're here, if you don't come, you'll miss the time!"
As soon as Wang Chong entered the door, Gu Er couldn't wait to greet him in a big red wedding robe. King Huan, Shen Congxing and several young generals from the Yuzhou group came up one after another. After the greeting, Minglan was pulled aside by Zou and Xiao Shen to chat first.
King Huan had a noble status, so he naturally couldn't follow Gu Er to meet the bride. Wang Chong was arrested and followed Chen Congxing, Yuan Wenshao and several young generals from Yuzhou, rode straight to the British Duke's Mansion with Gu Er on horseback beating drums and drums.
Fortunately, the British Duke's Mansion is a home of military generals, and most of the people guarding the gate are military men, so the questions raised are naturally not so literary. After a while, the group of people crossed many passes and finally received the bride and returned to the Marquis' Mansion again with knocking and beating.
