Reincarnated vassal system

After resigning from his official position, Gu Huai's time was suddenly free.Not long ago, he moved out from Duke Wei's mansion, and now lives in a secondary courtyard in the southeast of Huajing.The house was not big, so Gu Huai brought Chang Min out, and hired an old couple, the old man looked after the door, and the woman was in charge of cleaning and cooking.

Gu Huai didn't bother to pay attention to the reaction of the Second Household of Duke Wei's Mansion to his resignation.The moment Emperor Jianyuan announced his resignation, he had the feeling that he forgot everything, even Gu Lue.

What is the Duke of Wei?What is the Du family?It seems that everything is covered with a thick layer of clouds and fog, making it difficult to see clearly.

At present, not many people know that he lives here, so Gu Huai enjoyed several days of leisure.During the day, I slept until the sun was up, and when I got up, I went to the Anxiangfang to buy some idle books. At night, I drank a cup of hot wine against the night wind, and returned to my small courtyard, and had another good night's sleep.

This day, Gu Huai was writing a letter to Shang Zhi, because this brat actually wrote a letter to himself, a thick letter with nothing in it.The hidden guard who ran away and killed several horses explained that Prince Rui meant to give Gu Huai the letter paper, asking Gu Huai to write him a letter.Gu Huai couldn't help but write a pen to this brat.

This back and forth is all supported by the beautiful horses raised by the dark guards, and they send blank letter paper to the wayward Shang Zhi when they travel thousands of miles every day.The second letter from Shangzhi was not blank, but a few large characters were added to it——

I have grown taller.

Gu Huai: Has Shangzhi grown taller?Is it taller than me?

Shangzhi: He grows a lot taller.

Gu Huai: Did you grow a lot taller?

Shang Zhi: A lot.

Gu Huai: How many?

Shang Zhi returned a blank letter paper this time.

They come and go, thousands of miles from the Central Plains to the southwest, and the secret guards who deliver the letter have all become horsemen. Now when you go to the stables, you can tell which horse runs fast and which horse has great endurance. .

This kind of day is really leisurely and comfortable, but this leisurely day is quickly broken.

What Gu Huai didn't expect was that Gu Zhiling was the first to come to her door.

That day, Gu Huai was mending Zhusheren's previous strange novels, and it was a pity that Zhusheren no longer wrote, when he heard the voice of the porter's old man walking closer and closer, and when he walked in, he was still Send a glance to the sweeping mother-in-law.

"Master, there is a big sister-in-law looking for you outside the door!"

Gu Huai is now the master of the house in his own house, and he has also been called a master, and he has not corrected the old master.It's just this sister-in-law... When Gu Huai found out that it was Gu Zhiling who came in, thinking of this name, his complexion became a little complicated.

This time Gu Zhiling came here alone, and she was dressed in men's clothes, but she was used to this kind of dress, so she didn't look as abrupt and strange as Qi Xiaoli.She looked at Gu Huai wearing Songjiang cloth commonly used by ordinary people, with the hem casually draped, looking like a fool, and his complexion was many times more complicated than Gu Huai's.

She came today, but what she said was still an old topic.

"Gu Huai, you really don't plan to move back to the mansion?" She didn't even sit in a chair, she just stood in the hall and looked at Gu Huai.

"I remember I answered this last time."

Gu Zhiling didn't intend to give up, "Gu Huai, you used to have an official position, so you were naturally decent, but now... the Gu family will not cut short your food and clothing."

Gu Huai put down the book in his hand, and looked at his eldest sister with a half-smile, "Sister, I'm very curious, why do you insist that I live in Gu's residence?"

"I... naturally hope that the family can be reunited."

"You don't even believe this." Gu Huai stood up and approached Gu Zhiling, and slowly whispered into her ear, "Besides, where did the family come from?"

Gu Zhiling glanced, "You know?"

"Know what?" Gu Huai still had a smile on his face, but there was a slight astringency in his eyes. "I don't know anything, and I don't want to know anything."

"You..." Gu Zhiling didn't know what Gu Huai meant, but the firm thought in her heart made her persuade Gu Huai again, "Gu Huai, the family still needs your care, and you also know about your mother's illness...it must be an old relative. Being around is also good for my mother's condition."

"Dear relative? What kind of relative am I? Sister, you left Huajing and went to the Northwest for several years. Now let me spend more time with mother." Gu Huai was still very close to Gu Zhiling at this time, and his breath even sprayed on Gu Zhiling's cheek gave her the illusion of being scalded.

"Of course you are a relative of the Gu family! You have been in the Gu family for more than ten years, so you can't bear it?" Gu Zhiling said in a cryptic manner, but then said, "As for leaving Huajing, I am for the children in the northwest frontier!"

"That's right, I've been in Gu's residence for more than ten years...so what." Gu Huai looked straight into Gu Zhiling's eyes, "Besides, my brother has never been a righteous person, and he doesn't understand righteous things. Huajing Middle School People praise my elder sister for caring about the world, my younger brother is ashamed, and is not half as good as my elder sister. What do you think of my elder sister?"

"I..." Gu Zhiling was speechless.

"There is an old saying in the world that there are righteous people who abandon their wives and sons just to contribute their blood to the people; now there is General Zhaoyong's wife who left behind her mad mother and left behind her son who was just born, and went to the frontier, hoping to find a place in the school for poor children " Gu Huai clapped his hands lightly, "Gu Huai is really honored and ashamed to have such a sister."

Gu Zhiling's hearing is still good, so she couldn't fail to understand the reason for the sarcasm in Gu Huai's tone. She blushed immediately, "Gu Huai! Don't go too far! I have what I want, and those who don't have great ambitions prefer to live in Hua. In a corner of Beijing, how do you know that there are thousands of poor people in this world who need help!"

"You go to the northwest, and the houses in the border town are dilapidated. In order to entertain the distinguished general's wife, the local government spent more than half of the money in the yamen to build a large courtyard with four entrances."

"Your heart is for the poor. The local people donated money and manpower to build the school under the call of the government, but the children in the villages outside the border city were blocked outside the school because of disheveled clothes and shabby clothes. They couldn't enter the gate of the school. "

Gu Huai narrated the news he had learned from the secret guard in a declarative tone word by word, watching Gu Zhiling's face turn from red to pale.

"I don't think I've ever been an upright official, and I haven't done anything good to benefit the country and the people in Huajing, but I have never wasted money." Gu Huai's contemptuous attitude towards Gu Zhiling almost escaped the words, but At this moment, the topic changed, "——Why on earth do you want me to stay in the Gu residence? I don't believe that someone in the Gu residence will welcome me."

"You—you know everything, right!" Gu Zhiling became anxious.

"I've said it all, I don't know anything, and I don't want to know anything." Gu Huai returned to his usual smile at this moment, and his tone made it difficult to distinguish the truth from the fake.

However, Gu Zhiling took a few breaths, glared at Gu Huai, turned around and left Gu Huai's new house without sending another glance.

As soon as Sister Cheap left, Gu Huai watched her back disappear behind the door. He was stunned for a while, and then returned to his foolish look just now. He didn't have the serious Gu Sanyuan temperament that he used to have in court. He was still muttering something, but he wrote a letter to Shang Zhi in his hand.

"Shang Zhi, I have an elder sister who said that if I leave Gu's mansion and lose my official position, I may be short of food and clothing, and have no food and clothing."

The dark guard paralyzed two horses this time, and delivered the letter to Prince Rui who was lying on the eaves and listening to the corner in the middle of the night.Shang Zhi replied to the letter through the light in the house from behind the lifted tiles.

"I have asked the dark guard to bring three more boxes of gold to your house."

The dark guard paralyzed a horse this time.

After Gu Huai received the letter, he silently twitched the corners of his mouth, feeling a little sympathetic for Du Liyu who had tried everything for 2000 taels of gold.

He wrote with a pen: "Silver is still enough, you should save some silver and ask the hidden guards to buy some big bones to make soup. I heard that it can grow taller."

Xin ran from Huajing to the southwest, this time the dark guard picked a good horse, and he didn't run paralyzed the whole time.

After Shang Zhi read the letter expressionlessly, he returned a blank letter.

When he received Shang Zhi's blank letter paper again, the horse, which had not run paralyzed, had already developed its leg strength and endurance. After running thousands of miles, it still remained unchanged and breathless. The special trust horse "privately handed down" by the boss's concubine suddenly became a famous horse in the dark guard's stable, loved by many mares, and got the priority among all the horse groups in the dark guard's stable.

When Shang Zhi finished returning the blank letter paper, he silently ran under the tree he often guarded, and drew a line on the tree trunk. After confirming that he was indeed not taller than yesterday, he put on a colder face and asked the hidden guard to boil for himself. Big bone soup, the kind with more bones.

He silently recalled his grotesque dream—the self in it didn't seem short.

Although the taller self in the dream has no chance to compare with Xiao Huaiyi, but he is definitely not short! ——From the short prince who has complained about his height for more than ten years.

Gu Huai didn't know Shang Zhi's resentment, after temporarily throwing away the moral shackles that were tied to him in the past, he always had the idea that it would be great if the current time could last forever.Just let the time freeze at yesterday afternoon, when he was writing a letter to Shang Zhi, the sun was just right.

But such an idea can only be a luxury.

In Huajing, Gu Huai in the small house welcomed his second guest.

The weight of this guest made Gu Huai put away all the indecent books and expressions in an instant. The first moment he saw the other party, he immediately stood up and straightened his back, "... Grandpa."

The person who came was Ning Guogong, the elder brother of the empress dowager, Wang Mengqing.

Duke Ning is very low-key, and the only time Gu Huai had contact with him was when he was in Dali Temple. He visited Duke Ning's mansion because of the case of young scholar Wang being molested. It is inexplicable, but now that Duke Ning suddenly appeared in this mansion, Gu Huai suddenly remembered what Duke Ning had said.

——"In the future, you will understand how close you are to Duke Ning's mansion."

How close?That being said, Gu Huai didn't dare to talk intimately with this guy.He saluted very respectfully, and personally invited Ning Guogong to offer fragrant tea, and stood upright in the center of the park, waiting for the instructions of the Duke.

Ning Guogong seemed to be amused by Gu Huai's attitude of being ready, and he squinted his eyes with a smile, but he looked very kind.He took a sip of tea, "Grandson of the old Gu family, relax. Is this old man scary?"

"Grandpa Guo is kind and amiable." Gu Huai believed that he did not open his eyes and talk nonsense.

"It's been a few months since the old man and the little friend met last time. Today, the old man has nothing to do. Hearing that the little friend has moved to a new house, he came here for a stroll. Didn't you bother the little friend?"

"Grandpa Guo came, and Gu Huai couldn't hide the joy in his heart, and he never disturbed him." Gu Huai almost buried his head in the ground.Strange to say, he met other high-ranking and powerful people, such as the old Zhen Guogong who was full of hostility on the battlefield, but he didn't see Ning Guogong with such a sense of oppression, which made Gu Huai himself baffled untie.

"Little friend really answered the words 'insincere' at this moment." Ning Guogong laughed and joked about Gu Huai.Gu Huai didn't reply this time, and it wasn't true if he didn't reply, which was rather embarrassing.

Ning Guogong naturally also saw Gu Huai's discomfort, and asked directly, very considerately, "Gu Xiaoyou, do you want to go back to the court?"

Gu Huai paused slightly.

Once the days are leisurely, the time will pass by without knowing it.It has been several months since Gu Huai was dismissed from office, but Ning Guogong suddenly visited and brought up this topic at this time, which made Gu Huai unable to figure out what the Duke of the country was thinking.

He considered his tone, and replied cautiously, "Your Majesty's holy order, Gu Huai has no doubts."

"You're still so impeccable when you talk to this old man." Ning Guogong smiled and shook his head, "I've heard that you made wild words that one day you will win the cabinet, right?"

Hearing this, Gu Huai raised his head and looked straight at Ning Guogong in disbelief. He had only mentioned this to Gu Shi'an, and the two of them were the only ones in the study room where they were talking... But thinking about the pervasive nature of the hidden guards that he has seen these days, In terms of agility, it would not be surprising if Duke Ningguo's mansion had such private staff.

Seeing Gu Huai's expression, Ning Guogong knew what this kid was thinking, but he just smiled and didn't explain. Instead, he asked repeatedly, "Do you want to go back to the court again?"

"My lord, it doesn't matter what Gu Huai thinks."

"What if the old man allows you to go back again?" Ning Guogong's eyes were as deep as the sea, but he couldn't see a trace of understanding.

Gu Huai just shook his head, "You don't get paid for nothing."

"In the future, if you can come to the palace more often to accompany the old man to chat about daily life, you will be entitled to meritorious service, how about it?" Ning Guogong still had a kind face, but at this moment, Gu Huai's heart slowly rose to vigilance.

"The Duke's family has many close juniors, why do you need Gu Huai to accompany you?"

"They're all boring idiots, how can there be such a funny little friend?" Ning Guogong took another sip of tea, "Even the tea is more fragrant than ordinary people."

Gu Huai: "..." He is going to report to the government!There is an old man playing hooligans here!

Gu Huai glanced at the tea, he was sure that he had just poured such a small cup, and Ning Guogong must have taken more than a few sips.Is Ning Guogong saying to the empty cup that the tea is very fragrant?No matter how fragrant the tea is, it's cold...

Accidentally lost his mind, Gu Huai quickly regained his senses. "...Grandpa, Gu Huai still feels that he cannot accept your kindness. Thank you very much for your appreciation."

"Really?"

"Really."

"Since the little friend has made up his mind, I won't force others to do anything." Ning Guogong put down his teacup, and there was no trace of anger or dissatisfaction on Gu Huai's ignorance. "It's getting late today, so I'm leaving."

Gu Huai hurriedly sent one to the other party, "Gu Huai will come to visit in the future!"

Ning Guogong didn't say anything this time, he just waved his hands and left Gu Huai's courtyard.

The two people who came to visit one after another came with inexplicable intentions, and Gu Huai's originally calm heart slowly began to ripple.He knocked on You Wu who had been pretending to be dead since that day, "Brother You?"

"No breasts!"

The other party threw out two words in a muffled voice.

"Well, Brother You, don't get angry." Gu Huai didn't expect You Wu to have such a hidden tsundere attribute, but he has a lot of experience in coaxing people—especially the tsundere little prince, so he So he patiently said good things, "Brother You, tell me why you are not happy?"

You Wu kicked the system, and the system reluctantly popped up a panel, which was the achievement point panel.

[Leaving the living environment of powerful ministers for more than a month, start the achievement point deduction program. 】

Gu Huai frowned, "This..."

You Wu finally spoke up, "Little Gu Huai, I can understand the sense of freedom you felt when you finally got out of that environment. Maybe you think that after Erfang fell into this situation, you have avenged your brother , but there is an old saying that goes well, you have to get rid of the roots when you cut the grass, otherwise it will grow again when the spring breeze blows.”

Gu Huai fell silent.

"This time you clearly know that Gu Shiping did it, and look at that old pervert, the emperor, who was overly indulgent at court that day. I checked it out. Your cousin who got the true biography of Du Liyu was with you the night before." Dragon bed. This looks like a night of hanging out, blowing the wind on the pillow all night. Looking at this, how can the second room look like it is about to collapse?"

"Brother You..."

"You obviously have so many doubts in your heart, but you have been eating, drinking and waiting to die these days. Don't you really want to avenge Gu Lue?" You Wu paused, but the content of what he said again was directly asked Gu Huai to do it. decided. "...Moreover, after leaving the power minister environment, the achievement points will be deducted slowly. Maybe one day, I will have to go into hibernation again."

Gu Huai suddenly opened his eyes wide, remembering that You Wu woke up from his slumber after he started to fight against Erfang and Yimai, and counterattacked Li Gang - the existence of the system depends on the achievement points, Gu Huai suddenly realized this.

"Brother You..."

"Is it because of background?" You Wu suddenly asked.

Gu Huai seemed to be stabbed suddenly, and his heart ached slightly.He shook his head, "...No. I...I will go back as soon as possible."

He looked at the strange novels he had laid out on the table, and a heavy sadness gradually spread in his eyes.

Maybe many years later, I can go back to that afternoon yesterday.
