Help! I just woke up and was stabbed by a big kid

Wu Feng fled in panic. Gu Yue only laughed for a moment before the expression on his face fell again.

How to do?

Just wait quietly.

He had no intention of meeting Gu Xu, as he was afraid that if he met him, he would tell him everything and then question the marriage. Would this make it difficult for Gu Xu?

He is a very sensible person. He was like this when he was a child and he is still like this when he grows up.

He clearly heard the conversation between "Mom and Dad" and knew that he was going to be abandoned, but he still chose to respect their choice; so it is the same now.

If Gu Xuruo really... He wouldn't question it, he wouldn't allow himself to question it.

Gu Yue cheered up.

The bedroom he was in seemed to be the only guest room in the Duke Dunxin's mansion.

The scale of the Duke Dunxin's mansion was not very large, with a total of five courtyards. One was the courtyard where the old man lived, and was later renamed Jishi Courtyard by the Ministry of Works responsible for the renovation, where "Gu Dashi" lived; one was the male owner's courtyard, renamed Liesong Courtyard, which was given to Gu Xu by Gu Yue at that time. Liesong Courtyard was the largest, with a study and a garden, and the scenery was very beautiful, but Gu Xu did not often live there, either doing business in Wumen or staying in Jishi Courtyard.

One is the courtyard where the lady lives, and at the back there are several rooms connected together, which will be the residence of the future concubines. Because there are too many houses, Gu Yue asked someone to convert them into servants' rooms.

Speaking of the servants' room... Gu Yue couldn't help but think of He Gui and the others.

I wonder if they managed to escape and where they are now?

After he left Luoyang, he wanted to inquire about the whereabouts of He Gui and others, but he was interrupted by the prince's affairs and was delayed.

And Shi San, after Shi San received his letter, he should have left, right?

Although Gu Yue had a hunch that he would most likely seek revenge...

Hey, I got off track. Gu Yue shook his head.

There are five courtyards, and one is for the future young master and young lady to live in, divided into the east and west courtyards. The last one is the guest room, which is where Gu Yue is now.

Gu Yue touched the bed curtains and twisted the bedding on the bed.

Looking around, he was sure that this room had been cleaned up by someone.

They moved in in a hurry, and he didn't want to show off his wealth - in fact, he wanted to save money for his business, so he didn't make any special preparations for the decoration of the other courtyards.

Gu Yue remembered it very clearly. This guest house only had the most ordinary bedding, and the table was empty. What about now?

Not only was there a set of bedding that was made of silk and felt delicate and soft, and a new gauze curtain, but there was also a set of four treasures of the study on the table, and some books with distinctive covers...

Wait, it seems to be a publication of Hangdou Bookstore?

He hasn't contributed articles to Zhen Suhang for a long time.

Just as I was about to pick up a book to read, I heard a noisy sound outside.

Gu Yue leaned out of the window and saw a group of people from the Wumen carrying a pile of something into the yard.

what is that?

The leader looked unfamiliar. He seemed to glance over here secretly, then cleared his throat and said in a pretentious manner, "Uh - let's put these things in this yard first, and wait until the yard where Miss Jingyu is going to live is repaired, and then move them in."

The secret guards around him said in unison: "Yes!"

Gu Yue:?

Wu Lan had already spotted the head in front of the window with his sharp eyes.

He didn't know what Chief Wu Feng meant, but as secret guards, they just had to be obedient and not ask about other things.

Wu Lan shouted again, "In half a month, it will be the wedding day of the master and Miss Jingyu! Everyone should be alert during this period, and nothing can interfere with this auspicious event!"

"Yes!" The secret guards shouted even louder, because Wu Feng had explained this to them during the training.

Wu Lan nodded with satisfaction.

Then he started to do his business: Wu Lan opened a room next to the room where Gu Yue lived, counted the things one by one and moved them into the room and put them away.

Gu Yue looked for a long time, and finally walked out of the room.

The guard at the door raised his hand to stop him.

"I'm just walking around." Gu Yue said.

The guards looked at each other.

Gu Yue added: "I won't run around, really."

The guards remembered Wu Feng's instructions and put down their hands: "You can only relax in the courtyard, you can't go far, I will watch you later."

"Okay." Gu Yue nodded honestly.

He is no longer the master now - he never was the master, but his situation is worse now, he is even a prisoner.

Gu Yue walked towards the busy crowd over there.

Walking a few steps along the corridor outside the house, he realized that the red silk lanterns he saw in the house were just the tip of the iceberg. The entire courtyard and even the entire Dunxinbo Mansion were hung with red lanterns and colorful silks, and there were wedding characters on the doors and windows everywhere. Even in the daytime, it was very lively.

Gu Yue vaguely remembered that these decorations were already hung on the day of the prince's wedding. I thought Gu Xu was going to get married soon, but how come it's still just a show after so many days?

As he was thinking about it, he had already walked to Wu Lan's side and watched them register the items one by one - silk, cloth, various dried fruits, rice and flour, etc. It really looked like things for a wedding. Gu Yue even saw several bright red wedding quilts among them.

He also had something like this when he was invited to a college classmate's wedding.

When Wu Lan saw him coming, he immediately went to meet him, his face stern: "Who are you?"

Gu Yue felt that this person looked familiar, but he had never seen him before.

"What are these?" he asked.

Wu Lan didn't care that the man didn't answer his question. They knew that the master had somehow captured this man and brought him back to the mansion to keep him. It seemed that there was some connection between them. Wu Feng's instructions made them more suspicious.

"This is for the master's wedding in a few days." Wu Lan said, "Why?"

"...With whom?" Gu Yue asked.

"You don't know? She is the second lady of the Jing family, Jing Yu." Wu Lan said with a smile, "She is the twin sister of the Crown Princess Jing Sang who married the Crown Prince a few days ago."

"Oh... The prince is 26 years old this year, and the Jingsang sisters are probably about the same age, right? Your master..." Gu Yue wanted to say that they were not a good match, but then he thought, how could he, a "stranger", know Gu Xu's age? Wouldn't he be exposed if he told him?

Wu Lan said, "Miss Jingyu is only 21 this year. As the saying goes, a woman three years older than her husband will marry a rich man. This is the best marriage."

What a fart!

Gu Yue was upset.

He looked at the pile of goods and asked: "Are these dowries or gifts?"

Wu Lan said, "It seems that you have no idea about the process of marriage. These are just the dry goods for the banquet and the decoration of the wedding room. The dowry will be delivered along with the carriage on the day when Miss Jingyu gets married."

He went on to say: “By then, this small courtyard and the Jishi Courtyard will be converted into warehouses.”

"Why?!" Gu Yue blurted out. He felt so uncomfortable.

Wu Lan thought to himself, "How do I know why? Wu Feng asked me to say that," and smiled without saying anything.
