Malicious Medical Princess of the Marquis House

Hou Mansion Outer Court.

Eldest Master Gu Zhiwen and his eldest son Gu Rui stood in front of the hospital bed.

There is a strong smell of medicine in the room, mixed with other smells, which is a bit pungent.

Elder Master Gu Zhiwen repeated Gu Jiu's words again, and then said: My son has been thinking, could it be that something big will happen in the court, and Xiao Jiu got the news in advance?

Old Hou Ye closed his eyes and thought deeply, without making a sound.

Gu Rui said aloud: Regardless of whether there is a major incident or not, sister Xiaojiu specially reminded me that there must be deep meaning. From tomorrow, I will personally train the guards in the mansion.

The old master suddenly opened his eyes and pointed at Gu Rui, You are right to think so. You will start practicing personal guards from tomorrow. In the future, when the old man passes away, don't stop during the funeral. If you don't practice hands-on for one day, three If you don’t practice every day, I’m afraid you won’t even be able to hold your weapons firmly.”

Father... Eldest Master Gu Zhiwen felt sad.

Grandson respectfully obeys grandfather's teachings. Gu Rui looked resolute and sharp-eyed. He was no longer the eldest grandson of the Hou family who mourned for the Jia family.

The old Marquis was very pleased, If my guess is correct, you will soon have a battle to fight. Whether the Marquis Mansion can flourish again depends entirely on you. If you go to battle to kill the enemy and make great achievements, the title of the Marquis Mansion may be restored to you. Go one step further and pass it on for several generations.

If you can't seize the opportunity, if you don't have the ability to eat the rice of going to battle and killing the enemy, you can rest your mind early and be a second-generation ancestor honestly, at least you can keep a little bit of family property.

Eldest Master Gu Zhiwen turned pale, knelt down in front of the bed, and asked in a low voice, Are we really going to fight? With whom?

Old Hou Ye chuckled, Idiot, who else do you think you can fight with?

Beirong? Or Xiliang? The elder Gu Zhiwen wasn't really stupid, he just couldn't believe his own judgment.

Beirong, Xiliang and Dazhou have not fought for more than ten years. If there are conflicts, they are small-scale conflicts. Why is there a war all of a sudden?

He asked: Is the court ready? Last year's disaster relief, the court couldn't provide food. Where did the war come from? Do you want to use the Beijing warehouse?

Old Hou Ye lowered his voice and said, Beirong and Xiliang won't stop fighting just because Da Zhou is not ready. The old man reckons that life in Beirong and Xiliang has been difficult these years, and it has reached the point where they can't do without fighting. .Once the war starts, it will definitely be a war that will destroy the country. Xiao Jiu reminds you not to forget to practice during the filial piety, it is to give you the opportunity to make contributions.

Zhou Rui knelt down directly,

He bowed and said, The grandson will definitely live up to his grandfather's high expectations, and dare not shame his ancestors.

The old Hou Ye looked at Gu Rui with relief, Take your brothers to practice together, don't put too much pressure on yourself. The old man estimates that even if this battle is to be fought, it will have to wait another year or two.

Beirong Xiliang needs time to prepare food and soldiers, and Da Zhou also needs time to prepare food and soldiers. Remember to keep an eye on the grain prices in the capital. If there are abnormal price fluctuations, it means that war is coming.

Grandson remembers the teachings of his grandfather!

Eldest Master Gu Zhiwen frowned, At my age, I wonder if His Majesty will order me to fight at the border.

Old Master Hou said: After the old man leaves, you will be the head of the Hou's Mansion. In the war of overthrowing the country, you represent the Hou's Mansion and must go to the border. So don't forget to practice.

Eldest Master Gu Zhiwen felt a little guilty, My son hasn't held a weapon for many years, so I really feel ashamed of my ancestors.

Old Hou Ye snorted, looking very dissatisfied.

While there is still a year or two left, quickly pick up martial arts, and don't lose your life on the battlefield.

Old Hou Ye is not polite to his son.

Eldest Master Gu Zhiwen nodded, My son will keep his father's teaching in mind, and he will practice with Gu Rui and the others. The son is just worried, how will this battle be fought? How long will the food and grass last? Although the household department has finally reached a balance of income and expenditure, it has little savings. .Even if you have one or two years to prepare, it may be a drop in the bucket. If the war cannot be resolved within a year, once the front line is stretched, the consequences will be disastrous.

Elder Master Gu Zhiwen's words were very insightful.

In war, what we fight is money, food and logistics.

As long as there is enough money and food, dragging can drag the enemy to death.

Beirong and Xiliang can solve the food problem by plundering Dazhou.

Who can Da Zhou rob?

Beirong Xiliang is poor, haha, Wangcheng is so high and far away, it seems that there is no one to loot.

If the battle line is extended and goes deep into the grassland, the supply of food and grass will become the biggest problem.

Old Hou Ye closed his eyes, also thinking about this question.

Gu Rui suddenly said: Sihai Commercial Bank, and Shaofu.

what?

Grandson said that there are Sihai Commercial Bank, Shaofu, and Sanhe Express. Even if the battle line is stretched, the supply of food and grass will not be a problem. Gu Rui said loudly.

However, to the old Hou Ye and the Eldest Master, these words were like earth-shattering shocks.

The old Hou Ye asked: Da Lang, why do you think that the Four Seas Trading Company can solve the supply of grain and grass?

Gu Rui said honestly: To my grandfather, my grandson only trusts little sister Xiaojiu, and believes that she has also considered the problem of food and grass, and is starting to solve it. She reminded us to prepare early. Obviously, this war is within her estimation. .Sister Xiaojiu has always done things methodically, and I think this time is no exception.

Just out of trust in Xiaojiu, you think that the problem of food and grass can be solved? Old Hou Ye felt inconceivable.

Gu Rui nodded, If it were the imperial court preparing food and grass, to be honest, my grandson would not have much confidence. The imperial court has many disadvantages and wastes time. However, if sister Xiaojiu came forward to prepare food and grass, she would always be able to do what others couldn't do. Things can always create miracles. I believe she can.

Why do you have so much confidence in her? Elder Master Gu Zhiwen asked curiously.

Gu Rui said solemnly: Grandfather and father haven't had much contact with Sister Xiaojiu, so they don't know her well. My wife, Mrs. Zhou, has frequent contacts with Sister Xiaojiu, but I am more familiar with her. My confidence in Sister Xiaojiu comes from her what you've done all these years.

Old Hou Ye sighed with emotion, This old man is really old!

Elder Master Gu Zhiwen raised a question, Even if Xiao Jiu has a way to solve the food and grass problem, His Majesty may not use her.

The old Hou Ye laughed, I remember when the late Emperor was still alive, how many times the impossibility was solved by her, making the impossible possible. If Xiaojiu really has a way to organize food and grass, I believe she will be able to do so. Convince Your Majesty. It's just that the time has not come, and everything has not yet been announced. You, father and son, should be clear about this matter, and it should not be passed on to the third person's ears.

Elder Master Gu Zhiwen had doubts, Little Wei can't hide it from her. If she knows the inside story, she will definitely remind Duke Zhu's mansion and the Han family.

The old master said sharply: Then find a way to hide it from her. Zhu Guogong's mansion and the Han family have their own news channels, and we don't have to worry about them. The most important point is that this matter is obviously still in the secret preparation stage , Xiao Jiu took the risk to remind us that we must not put her in a dangerous situation. If the news leaks and alarms His Majesty, I am afraid it will be difficult for Xiao Jiu to explain.

Elder Master Gu Zhiwen nodded, My son listens to his father, and I will find a way to hide it from her.

Old Hou Ye looked at Gu Rui again.

Gu Rui hurriedly said: Don't worry, grandfather, my grandson will keep it from everyone and not reveal a single word.

Very good!

The old Lord Hou has made plans for the Hou Mansion for the next ten years, hoping that the Hou Mansion will have a chance to rise again after his death.

A few days before his death, the old Hou Ye wrote a letter to express his loyalty on behalf of everyone in the Hou Mansion.

Emperor Wende read the memorial of Lord Hou, thoughtful.

Pingnan Hou Gu Mu's generation of heroes has also come to the end of his life.

The impermanence of life made Emperor Wende feel a little emotional.

After thinking for several days, Emperor Wende issued an imperial edict.

The imperial decree was sent to the Hou's Mansion, and the elder Gu Zhiwen successfully inherited the title of the Hou's Mansion, the third-class Marquis.

The old Hou Ye smiled with relief, his wish was fulfilled, he closed his eyes with a smile, and passed away forever!

The Hou family mourns from top to bottom!

White lanterns were hung on the gate of the Hou Mansion, and the butler led the family to report the funeral.

Gu Jiu felt sad when he heard the news of the old Hou Ye's death.

Lying in Liu Zhao's arms, she sobbed softly twice, feeling very uncomfortable.

Liu Zhao hugged her and comforted her softly, Tomorrow, I will go to the Marquis Mansion with you to pay homage.

Gu Jiu nodded, Although I don't have much contact with the old Hou Ye, I know that he is very kind and caring to the juniors. As the patriarch of the Gu clan, he has fulfilled his responsibilities as the patriarch, and he takes great care of the Gu family and the clan members. .

My father, and my uncle, were able to become officials smoothly back then, thanks to the help of Lord Hou. Now that people are gone, it feels like an era is coming to an end, and I feel very uncomfortable.

Liu Zhao said: Don't be too sad, you are not in good health, so don't be overjoyed and sad. There are fewer and fewer people in the old Hou Ye's generation. When those old guys are gone, an era will be completely over. This is inevitable. As a result, it is a blessing to be able to leave your own traces in the turbulent years and not come to this world in vain!

Gu Jiu wiped away tears and gave Liu Zhao a blank look.

Your thoughts always have an icy air, which seems extremely ruthless.

Liu Zhao said frankly: I'm not familiar with the old Hou Ye. I can't empathize with his death. I can only talk about my true thoughts. Although it is cold, it is honest enough.

Gu Jiu bit his arm, Don't provoke me anymore. Everyone understands the truth, but not everyone is willing to listen to your reasoning.

Liu Zhao is as good as others, Then let me say a few words less.
