Chapter 105 Don't Let (Second)
Thinking of some past events, Mrs. Gu Tai's expression was a little dazed, her eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of veil, and her thoughts also came to a distant place.
The shadow of the tree swayed again, a few dry and remnant leaves fell, and even some remnant snow on the branches fell.
Mrs. Gu Tai only felt a cold on her forehead, raised her hand to wipe the snowflakes there, and said solemnly: "If he wants it, give him the bow."
Snowflakes quickly melted into a drop of snow on her finger, crystal clear.
Mrs. Gu Tai casually shook off the water droplets from her fingertips, her eyes cold.
However, bows are allowed, but titles are not.
"Let someone go and notify the Marquis." Mrs. Gu Tai ordered, intending to let Gu Jian come over to entertain guests.
So, after a cup of tea, Gu Jian, the Marquis of Dingyuan, appeared "late" with a broken right arm.
He and his son apologized to all the distinguished guests, saying that he was ill so he was late, but whenever the other party asked how Gu Yuan left, he laughed helplessly:
"I'm sorry, Brother Yuan has always been unable to sit still. He just said he was going to practice martial arts."
"He's a young man with a childlike nature, so it's normal that he can't talk to us."
"Everyone has a lot of humility."
Gu Jian's remarks are really not beautiful enough, both inside and outside of the words are referring to Gu Yuan's youthful spirit, eccentric temperament and unsuitable personality.
These nobles and nobles present have been immersed in the court for decades, and all of them are old foxes. At a glance, you can tell that the family and the second room are not in harmony.
How did the second room of the Gu family get the title, even if you don't say it on the surface, everyone knows it very well.
At this moment, everyone will inevitably think of those old things, exchanging meaningful glances in twos and threes.
Eight years ago, after the "accident" of the Marquis of Xian Dingyuan and Gu Ce, Mrs. Gu Tai immediately abandoned the long house for the late emperor. Some people praised Mrs. Tai for her decisiveness, while others felt that Mrs. Tai was trying to survive by cutting her tail, but more. People feel a little cold.
After the second room was enthroned, from the bright side, in the past eight years, the Gu family also took care of the two children in the long room.
However, Gu Yuan is the eldest son of Gu Ce. He could have enjoyed the grace of the Houfu and served as a five-rank general in the army, but Gu Yuan had to start from a small soldier step by step... In the army After so many years of honing in the middle, I have also made a lot of military achievements, and this has come to today.
Gu Yuan obviously has the style of being a father, and is a natural general. He took the position of the envoy of Luanyi Weizhen at a young age, and he got the green eyes of the emperor and the Duke of Wei, obviously he was about to come forward.
As for Gu Jian...
Gu Jian is a mediocre person, far inferior to his brother. He has not done much in inheriting the title for so many years, and such a title can fool people. When it comes to the next generation, it is time to downgrade "hou" to "uncle".
Who should be friends with, everyone present can see clearly.
Yan'an Bo Shizi stood up first, and bowed his hands to Gu Jian: "Uncle Shi, I still have an errand today, so I will leave first."
Pingjin Hou followed closely and said, "Brother, you are injured and you have to take good care of you. I won't bother you today."
Gu Jian hurriedly held back: "It's okay for me to be hurt, brother, it's rare for you to come here, so why don't you have a few drinks with me before leaving."
His right arm was still in plaster cast and bandaged. In fact, his words were not convincing.
Not only the two Marquis of Pingjin, but also several other guests perfunctoryly made excuses to leave, and did not save face for Gu Jian at all, and the hall was empty in less than half a stick of incense.
Gu Jian's face was blue and white and red, and she awkwardly looked at Mrs. Gu Tai face to face, and was speechless for a long time.
Originally, Mrs. Gu Tai thought it was the same for Gu Jian to entertain guests.
but……
Looking at the guests who left in front, Mrs. Gu Tai's heart sank, and she felt lost.
From the moment Gu Yuan received the order from the Shenji Camp yesterday, some things seemed to start to change, and today, they are completely out of control.
Gu Xiao's youthful and spirited face seemed to be stained with ink, and he resigned stubbornly.
Gu Jian was just trying to hold on to the guests, and his heart was suffocating, and he couldn't let go. When he left the hall, he was inattentive, and his right foot stumbled on the threshold and fell heavily.
This fall, the injury was added to the injury, the right arm hit the ground, and the screams resounded through the Hou residence.
On the same day, the main hospital invited famous doctors from Beijing and Chinese to come for treatment. The doctor invited one after another, and it took a whole night of tossing to stop, and the entire Hou residence was not very safe.
"Eldest young master, I heard that Mrs. Tai wanted to invite Dr. Li, but Dr. Li was annoyed and refused to come back. Later, he had to ask other doctors in the capital who were good at treating trauma."
"All those doctors said that the old wounds of Lord Hou have not healed, and new ones have been added. If this goes on like this, I am afraid that this hand will not be able to hold a pen."
Gu Yuan had a good night's sleep, and slept peacefully until dawn. When he heard the news from the little servant Wutong, it was already the next morning.
At the end, Wutong asked hesitantly: "Eldest Young Master, Mrs. Tai asked you to see the Marquis..."
"Not necessary."
Gu Yuan dropped these two words and went out.
Today is the first day he officially takes office as the envoy of Luan Yiwei Township. The first thing he does when he takes office is to accompany the eldest prince Chu Yi out of Beijing.
This is the first time in eight years that Vietnam has sent an envoy to visit Dajing.
Lai Shi is the third prince of the Yue Kingdom, who was sent by the noble concubine of the Yue Kingdom. His brother, the eldest prince of the Yue Kingdom, was established as the crown prince just this year.
This time, the three princes of the Yue Kingdom came to visit. Of course, the person responsible for welcoming the envoys here in Dajing should not be too casual, lest the Yue Kingdom feel that Dajing is contemptuous.
Therefore, more than half a month ago, the court had already decided that King Kang Chuyou would go to greet the third prince of the Yue Kingdom and others.
However, not long ago, King Kang stabbed Fang Mingfeng, the son of the Duke of England, for no reason, which aroused the anger of the nobles, and Duke Wei, Duke of England and others strictly opposed it.
The emperor immediately decreed that the eldest prince, Chu Yi, be solely responsible for this matter.
Kang King's family has just suffered a big setback, and with the support of Duke Wei and others, this matter went smoothly beyond ordinary.
This is also the first errand the eldest prince has done after returning home.
There were so many eyes staring at the capital, and Gu Yuan was also very solemn. Since then, he has not returned to the Hou's residence, and only let someone come back and tell Gu Yanfei that he accompanied the eldest prince to temporarily live in the military department.
Anyway, Gu Yuan has always been away from home, Gu Yanfei has long been used to it.
In the following days, she hardly stayed at home, and focused all her energy on the flintlock gun that Gu Yuan left with her.
Gu Yanfei intends to draw a formation on this flintlock gun.
Last time, the one she drew in the garden was a one-time temporary formation that doubled the power of the flintlock gun.
At that time, even Gu Yuan was stunned. He took the flintlock pistol and looked at it again and again. It also attracted half the onlookers of the Hou residence. Gu Yanfei tried the two pistols and roughly judged the power, so he did not continue.
It is not difficult to draw a formation, but it is rare that there is no spiritual energy to borrow in this small world.
The aura of that phoenix-patterned jade Perry was too little, not even enough for her to inhale it into her body. Every time the spiritual energy in her body was used up, it would take a long time for her to "recover blood".
A permanent "edge formation", even the lowest level, will take a lot of time for her now. After drawing a paragraph, she must wait for her spiritual power to recover before continuing to draw...
Fortunately, there is the plum blossom hosta that Chu Yi gave, which can continuously nourish the sea of knowledge and speed up the recovery of spiritual power.
Gu Yanfei, who does not go out, sits in a small study every day to meditate, draw arrays, meditate again, and then draw arrays.
Repeating the days so monotonously, seven days have passed in a blink of an eye, and it is the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month.
It took so long, but the result was unsatisfactory.
Seeing the crooked and intermittent formation on the flintlock gun, Gu Yanfei sighed deeply.
is so ugly that she can't bear to look directly at her.
If Shizun saw her, she would not only be laughed at, but also punished to draw another 300 of the same formation.
Remembering the years when he was just learning the formation technique with Master, Gu Yanfei bent his lips.
The milk cat rolled carelessly on the side, rubbing its back against the ground for a while, and then grabbing a plum blossom to grind its teeth.
Gu Yanfei stretched out his hand unexpectedly, grabbed the milk cat, pressed one of his front paws on the cinnabar, and pressed a bright red "Plum Blossom Seal" on the gun.
Well, it looks much better now!
Gu Yanfei thought about it peacefully.
"Girl, the eldest young master is here." Juan Bi walked in beaming, her hair wrapped in a turban, and a feather duster in her hand.
Hou's mansion has already begun to prepare for the New Year. On the day of the new year, they have to sacrifice to the stove and sweep the dust. The maids and ladies in the courtyard are all holding brooms, feather dusters, etc., dusting the dust, sweeping the courtyard, dredging the ditches... one by one Joyfully sweeping the dust.
This is too young. Only then did Gu Yanfei slowly realize the passage of time.
She pursed her lips and smiled, and threw the flintlock gun aside, and took the rhino horn bow on the desk.
It's a good sign to get rid of the old and welcome the new.
Gu Yanfei left the small study happily carrying the repaired rhino horn bow.
She is not afraid of the cold, so there is no charcoal pot in the room, and the afternoon sun shines through the open window into the second room, which is bright and transparent.
Gu Yuan was already sitting on the Arhat bed drinking tea.
He was wearing a blue lotus-colored dark-patterned straight robe, with a silver silk sash around his waist, and a sword on his waist.
His sitting posture is upright, like a bamboo like a pine, with the unique style of a soldier, and the arrogance of a young man in his expression.
"younger sister!"
Gu Yuan heard the movement, put down the tea cup, raised his eyes and looked at Gu Yanfei, his eyes were as clear as stars.
Gu Yanfei also laughed.
I haven't seen each other for a few days, and Gu Yuan has changed a lot. His whole person is a little more energetic than before, and even if he doesn't smile, he still looks high-spirited.
It seems that he had a good time in Luangyiwei.
"Big Brother," Gu Yanfei sat down beside Gu Yuan, took an orange from the fruit bowl and threw it at him, "Try this orange, it was sent by Zhuangzi, it's very sweet."
Received the orange given by his sister, Gu Yuan smiled, happy and satisfied.
Afterwards, he restrained his smile and said, "Murong Yong was just transferred yesterday, and he was transferred to the Thousand Households of Shenji Ying."
is to replace his previous transfer order.
