Ben Hou is ill

He thought for a long time before deciding on this matter.

If he hadn't suggested Gu Shize to be the prefect of Guangling, the Gu family would have sent him to Guanzhong or a county in Shu, and he might not still be the prefect, but he would definitely not die of illness in a foreign land.Gu Shize's wife and daughter should be taken care of by him, this is a sin he owes.

Today's Dajin women can remarry, and women without sons must remarry, which is stipulated in the law.But there is no second Gu Shize in the world. What if Gu Shize's widow meets someone bad and the Gu family can't do anything?What about Gu Shize's youngest daughter?Would she have to endure a stepfather who might not care enough for her before she even met her biological father?

Besides, even if Gu Shize's widow did not remarry because of the Gu family, how would the widow and orphans live under the fence?No matter how much Gu Shilan takes care of the mother and daughter, he is just an uncle. He has a wife and children. He is the general of Zhennan, and he is the head of the Gu family in Shu County. He has too many things to take care of.Gu Shilan's daughter is about the same age as Gu Lingyi, and she came out of the court at about the same time. When it's time to say goodbye, will Gu Shilan value her niece more?Would he meet someone better to say to his niece than his own daughter?

There is an uncle who is an official to Zhennan General, and a father who is a prefect. One is an uncle and the other is a father. How can it be the same?

At that time, Prime Minister Right was serving as a doctor of the household department. Although the official position was not satisfactory, he was confident that he could climb higher. When Gu Lingyi came out of the cabinet, he might not be able to reach the position of minister. It is easier to marry than a general uncle.

The only one who is sorry here is his wife, but there is nothing he can do.It was impossible for him to take good care of Gu Shize's widow and orphan when he had a wife. That would be unfair and would tarnish Gu Shize's reputation.He went to his father-in-law's house to kowtow to apologize and ask them to forgive him. His wife is still young and has half of his family property, so he doesn't worry about remarrying at all.

He was blamed, scolded by his father-in-law and uncle, and finally went home alone in a mess.

He sent a letter to Gu Shize's widow, stating his interests and Gu Lingyi's future. If he wanted, he would come to propose marriage when Gu Shize's filial piety passed.He and Gu Shize have been friends for many years, and Gu Shize's wife naturally knew him too.If the other party has neither an answer nor a rejection, it is already a clear answer.

After the filial piety period passed, he took leave of absence from the court and took all his wealth to the Gu family in Shu County to propose marriage.

After getting married, he took his new wife back to Chang'an, while Gu Lingyi stayed in Shu.The young Gu Lingyi lived in Chang'an for half a year, and lived in Shu for half a year. When he was not in Chang'an, the right minister would send her a letter regularly. He sacrificed his possible heirs to make atonement. He only hoped that Gu Lingyi could be like an ordinary daughter. Parents grow up.

But in the end it was still long and crooked.

Thinking of this, Prime Minister Right could not help but sigh.

Gu Lingyi's marriage was considered by him. Naqu Suihan is indeed good, he has talent, he lost his father when he was young, and lost his mother years ago. Uncle's family is very rich, even if Qu Suihan is not pleasing to the eye, he has to honestly pay the dowry due to his face.He didn't expect that Qu Suihan was engaged before, but any talented student would not get engaged early as long as he was motivated to learn, who wouldn't be envious of catching a son-in-law at the top of the gold list?

From Qu Suihan to Chang'an, and then after the palace examination, there was not enough time for people to go to the south of the Yangtze River, and it was too late to find out if he was married.The people in Chang'an pay attention to the scholar's family background, articles and character, and they understand everything when they see both parents dead. Naturally, they don't pay attention to other things. Who would know that his uncle has arranged a marriage for him.If it hadn't been for Marquis Yan to intervene in this matter, I'm afraid that once the imperial examination is over, he will know the ranking from the official department in advance. Once the period is over, they will get married.After he got there, someone told him that Qu Suihan had arranged a marriage in Jiangnan, but it was too late.

If so, he would be even more sorry for Gu Shize.

This is the reason why he favored the Marquis of Yan,

It's just that the kindness is due to the kindness, but he has no idea of ​​marrying his daughter to the Yan family. Yan Ningkang's knowledge is not as good as that of Qu Suihan, and he is a concubine. Gu Lingyi not only has to serve her stepmother, but also takes care of her aunt when she gets married. up?

This is absolutely not possible.

Have to figure out a way.

After the eldest princess's decree was issued, the servants immediately rushed to send the decree to Langya County, and there was an oral order from the Queen Mother Chen, which stated that she would choose a son of high moral character from the family to be the prince. The department is very excited, this is a great opportunity to reach the sky in one step.But the servant who sent the letter made it very clear that this son will not live in Lu Chenghou's mansion after he enters Chang'an. Don't blame the Eldest Princess for not being tolerant if you send some crooked melons and split dates into Chang'an, which will tarnish the reputation of the Empress Dowager's natal family.

My family knows their own family affairs, if they really have real talents and real learning, which family is willing to adopt others, and from then on they will treat other people's parents as their own parents, and their grandchildren will no longer be their own grandchildren.After picking and choosing, they finally chose a girl named Chen Hua, who was only 12 years old this year, her parents had both died, and she was brought up by her brother and sister-in-law. She was quite good in character and talent, but I didn't know if this child could satisfy the Queen Mother Chen.

Chen Hua was brought into the capital by the servants, first went to Lu Chenghou's mansion, kowtowed to Lu Chenghou to recognize his relatives, became Lu Chenghou's third son, and then went to Weiyang Palace to thank him.Empress Dowager Chen chose a modest house for him to live in, and assigned twenty people from the palace to take care of his daily life. After a while of investigation, she found that her character was indeed good, so she entered the Imperial Academy.

After Gu Lingyi returned to Taixue, she suddenly found that Chen Du was no longer in the school. She felt very confused. She had already planned how to deal with Chen Du. Why did Chen Du suddenly go home after three days of rest?Who informed the eldest princess?Yan Ningkang told the matter to Yan Hou?

It took a month for Chen Hua to enter school, and seeing this young man who was younger than her sincerely come to apologize to her, Gu Lingyi finally understood.Chen Du told the Chen family to give up.

"Mr. Gu, my sixth brother offended you a lot earlier, and has been taken home by the elders. I won't come to Taixue to bother you again. I'm really sorry that the Chen family couldn't return the damaged things to Zhao." Chen Hua said. She bowed and saluted, her little face flushed with embarrassment.

Although he got advice to apologize, but he was very ashamed when he knew what the sixth elder brother in the clan had done. He grew up in Handan until he was 12 years old, and the brothers in the clan have always been well-behaved. Even if there are a few ignorant ones, they won't be able to do sneaky things, rob people in the street, and force their classmates. I have never seen such troublesome people.

"My surname is Chen Minghua, and I am eleventh in the clan. Brother Six is ​​now my biological elder brother, and I specially come here to apologize to you on his behalf. Whether you beat me or scold me, I have absolutely no complaints."

"Teaching is done at the top, and it will be transformed at the bottom. Your father gave Brother Chen a good name." Gu Lingyi replied: "Chen Du is Chen Du, and Brother Chen is Brother Chen. I can tell the difference clearly, so don't belittle yourself so much. You are new here, if there is anything you don’t understand, you can go to the teacher, and you can also come to me. I also thanked Yan San for taking care of me when I first came.”

Chen Hua smiled gratefully at her. From Langya to Chang'an, an unfamiliar place, even the servants he used were strangers. The Queen Mother refused to let him see his stepfather. Making amends to others is exhausting.

"Thank you for your generosity."

Gu Lingyi has a good impression of this Chen Hua. It is difficult for others to feel disgusted by a polite and good-looking person.

While talking, Yan Ningkang leaned over, put his arms around Gu Lingyi's shoulders, and asked, "Who is this?"

Gu Lingyi got rid of his hand without a trace, and said, "Chen Du's younger brother."

Immediately, Yan Ningkang felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy, and asked with his eyes wide open, "What are you going to do?"

Chen Hua smiled wryly in his heart as he introduced himself, how disgusting his brother is, people even call him by his first name.After he apologized again, Yan Ningkang felt a little relieved, and said, "Then I will call you Chen Shishi, and my name is Yan Ningkang, and you can call me Yan San."

After chatting for a while, the three of them went to the classroom together.Chen Hua could see Yan Ningkang's desire to defend Gu Lingyi, so he didn't deliberately go up to him, but stood on the other side of Yan Ningkang.

On Yan Ningkang's left was Gu Lingyi, who was a head shorter than himself, and on the right was Chen Hua, who was even shorter.

Chen Hua couldn't go with them, and they separated halfway through.Gu Lingyi looked at his figure and frowned.

"Yan San."

"Hey, what's wrong?"

"Do you think Chen Hua and Chen Du don't look alike?"

Yan Ningkang thought for a while and said: "I've heard it before, that Lu Chenghou lost his eldest son, and Chen Du was actually his son, who was later recorded as his son. If there was another son, Lu Chenghou should not have to train Chen Du. He doesn't look like a Chang'an person from the Chen Hua accent, could it be that he was adopted from the clan, if so, it's normal that he doesn't look the same."

Chen Du had a round face, but Chen Hua's face had some angular bones, if he didn't tell, he couldn't tell that these two were actually clan brothers.

"It has nothing to do with us whether it's biological or not. Why do you suddenly care about this?"

Gu Lingyi hesitated for a moment, and said, "I think he looks familiar."

"Familiar? Have you met other members of the Chen family?" Yan Ningkang was stunned. The members of Lu Chenghou's residence were simpler than those of the Yan family. There were only Lu Chenghou, Chen Du and his aunt, at best there were more Chen Huas. Where did Gu Lingyi meet the Chen family?

Gu Lingyi thought for a while, then shook her head, and said, "Maybe it's my illusion."

She kept silent, and Yan Ningkang didn't ask too many questions, and the two went to class together.

After meeting Chen Hua again, Gu Lingyi looked at it carefully without any trace, and was convinced that what she felt was not an illusion.

There was another face that vaguely resembled this face, which she had seen at Yan's house a month ago.

The author has something to say: You really surprised me, and you guessed too well, or did I bury the foreshadowing too superficially?

I forgot to mention earlier that the Marquis of Yan used Zeng Zigu's "Disaster Relief Records of Duke Zhao of Yuezhou" for his strategy of disaster relief in Hedong. If you are interested, you can take a look.

The eldest princess will come out soon, don't worry.
