I was transformed in ancient aristocratic waste

"It's me, Your Majesty the Third Prince." Mr. Yuchi walked around from behind the rockery with one hand behind his back and the other hand in front of his body. He was holding the airs of a young master of the Gao family, with an expression neither humble nor overbearing. When he approached, he turned to the Third Prince. He saluted and said, "I have seen the Third Highness, does the Third Highness still remember me?"

The Third Highness Cao Zhuo, who was originally dealing with private matters, looked livid, glanced at the kneeling eunuch Gao Luhai, and said nothing.

The eunuch Gao Luhai immediately stepped forward in a very sensible manner, with a shrill voice: "So it is Mr. Yuchi, why is Mr. Yuchi so elegant? He ran behind this rockery... to eavesdrop on His Highness's speech?"

Gu Zhu was terrified when he heard it from above. He didn't know his third cousin, but he knew that third cousin had the right to kill people. If the third cousin became angry, he would kill Yu Chiyuan like he killed that impostor!

Gu Zhu pinched her sleeves, her small hands were sweaty, she wanted to go out and admit her identity nervously for a moment, but she was afraid that she would be caught by her third cousin after she went out, and then forcibly taken away. He was forcibly taken away from Yangzhou by the third cousin. Will Dad go to Huainan Jiedushi to confront the third cousin?

This kind of thing that openly opposes the imperial court, as long as Dad Dabing does it, it is tantamount to treason, and he will be beheaded!Don't talk about resolving the misunderstanding between the big pie father and the princess mother, I am afraid that they will never see each other in the future.

Gu Zhu bit her fingernails, her beautiful pupils were covered with a mist that no one could dispel under the rainy low sky.

Maybe, he went to his father for help now?

No, Dad cheated the third cousin by acting, and the third cousin couldn't be more angry when he saw the big cake?

Gu Zhu couldn't find a solution for the time being, so he could only endure his anxiety and continue to wait and see what happened.

Under the rockery, the atmosphere of the four people hiding in the shadows is delicate. The fishy smell of the pond diffuses faintly, mixed with the aroma of pear blossoms, and the sound of the guests in the lobby, laughing and drinking, separates this corner.

It can be seen that Wei Chiyuan, a straightforward man who has always acted without looking forward and backward, and acting according to his mood, replied to the father-in-law, saying: "Gao Gonggong's words are not good, what is eavesdropping? I just passed by by accident. I just came back from the hut. I didn't expect to meet the Third Highness, hey, since I heard it, I don't want to leave, and I don't want to leave, it's just a dilemma, anyone who can think of it will be discovered."

"I don't want to, but since I've been discovered, why don't you listen to me, Your Highness?" Yu Chiyuan saw that His Highness neither shook his head nor said 'no', which meant he agreed, so he said directly, "Third Highness It's better to let this little brother go and kill the useless ones, this Eunuch Gao is right, why bother to let others talk about such a trivial matter? Endure it for a while."

Eunuch Gao watched the Third Highness grow up, and felt sorry for the little master the most. Seeing the little master being bullied by others was more painful than killing him as a slave. But now is indeed not the time to lose your temper. Hearing Mr. Yuchi say After saying these words, he immediately turned his head to look at the little master, and persuaded him from the side: "Your Highness, what Mr. Yuchi said is not unreasonable..."

Cao Zhuo lowered his eyes and glanced at Eunuch Gao's clenched hand. In that hand were his teeth. All his brothers' teeth were thrown on the glazed tiles of Gui Palace by noble mothers and concubines. Only he was thrown by Eunuch Gao. of.

For his brothers' birthdays, the presents and money from his mother's relatives were so piled up that Lin Yuansai couldn't fit them, but he didn't have any money to reward his servants, and few of them had the right to have a birthday. There are powerful relatives who come to cheer him up, but there is only one uncle who he himself despises as a small sesame mung bean official in the comprador office in the palace, which humiliates him completely.

He can't count on anyone, since he was born, he can only count on himself, so indeed, killing this counterfeit out of anger will only make people laugh, and it will only make things worse, why not return it to the son-in-law, saying It may not be possible to continue to maintain the harmony on the surface.

"... Whatever you want." Cao Zhuo waved his hand, and he didn't want to look at the impostor again, so he asked Gao Luhai to throw him into the concubine's Mingyuan. He doesn't care about it, he dies after death, anyway, he didn't let people do it.

Eunuch Gao hurriedly went to work, leaving several young eunuchs standing at the gate of the yard far away, preventing others from entering or leaving the place.

The third prince, Cao Zhuo, patted his hands, as if he finally had the time to chat with Yu Chiyuan, who seemed to have no brains at first glance, but now he looked like a wise and foolish person.

Cao Zhuo found a big rock, sat on it, pointed to the big rock opposite Yu Chiyuan, and said, "Sit?"

Yu Chiyuan was not polite to His Highness either, he sat down after saluting respectfully, and said, "Your Highness, what else do you want to ask Yu Chiyuan?"

Cao Zhuo nodded, really realized how stupid he was, how arrogant he was when he came to Yangzhou, and how embarrassing he is now.

From the very beginning when he saw the son-in-law begging him in a low voice, he didn't pay attention to the son-in-law at all. He saw the son-in-law dumbfounded, but he didn't realize that if he was really a foolish son-in-law, how could he suppress the eldest princess for so many years? Wait, can't move?

The arrogance of coming to Yangzhou for the first time subsided, and now Cao Zhuo reviewed everything he saw and experienced these days in his mind, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he should not have taken up the job of going south from the beginning.

But don't accept... Who will arrange for him when he gets married?He wants a daughter from a noble family!It doesn't matter who is the woman who will be of great help to him in the future, but she must be powerful and powerful!

"Yuchi Yuan, I remember that there is a girl in your family who seems to be married to a son from Xiangye's side?" Cao Zhuo asked a little strangely, "Why are your Yuchi family and Gu family repaying the debt to the treasury again now?" ?”

Cao Zhuo has always hated the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion. If they hadn't advocated forceful troops to suppress the border and military strikes against disobedient small countries, how could the treasury have no money?There are always battles to be fought every year. Food, military pay, pensions, which one is not a mountain?

If you want him to say, the Xiangfu is just wooing those generals, and using different methods to feed their warriors. Every time there is an unnecessary small battle, the credit will be credited to the Xiangfu. But it's the money from the treasury. Everyone says that Mr. Xiang is smart. Everyone in the world only knows Mr. Xie, but who knows about the Cao family? !

When he asked Yu Chiyuan this question, he didn't quite understand whether Yu Chiyuan was from the Prime Minister's house or from their Cao family.

The father is weak and sick, and the court is almost the words of the prime minister!Although Xie Ju'an, Xiangye's son, is a good-for-nothing who only knows how to spend time and money, he has brought two monster-like grandchildren to Xie's family.

One named Xie Zuzheng, who is now the second-rank official of the imperial court, is in charge of official morality, accepts advice from the emperor, and is the best at intrigue and scheming.The most famous strategy is probably what happened in the past few months. A group of people who buried their hands for an unknown number of years went to assassinate the younger brother who returned from the big victory, and the younger brother Xie Chongfeng is now paralyzed in bed, unable to speak. Literally, cruel to the extreme.

That man called Xie Chongfeng was originally a fierce general in the Prime Minister's Mansion, although he was not liked in the past, but he had gained a lot of experience in the army, the old Prime Minister saw him as a malleable talent, so he was promoted all the time.

It stands to reason that the middle of the Xiangfu is not good, and the younger generation has one article and one military, and it seems that the Xie family will continue to control the entire country after the death of the old man, but I don’t know whether it is God’s eyes or self-inflicted. Xie Zuzheng, the eldest son of the Xie family, couldn't tolerate Xie Chongfeng. The two had been fighting openly and secretly for many years, but Mr. Xie didn't care.

It's all right now, Xie Chongfeng is gone, and when the old Xie family dies, only Xie Zuzheng is left, a scheming but heartless jealous man, Cao Zhuo really can't wait to see the news of the sudden death of the old man , Then the father will no longer have to take into account the friendship between teachers and students, and start to gather the imperial power!

Cao Zhuo didn't bother to cover up his contempt and disgust for the Xiangfu, which was also the truest and only remaining self in his smooth disguise.

After Cao Zhuo asked, he waited for Yu Chiyuan's answer.

Yu Chiyuan's answer was very ordinary: "We don't belong to any family, but we just listen to Zhuzhu. Zhuzhu said that we should pay back the money, and the son-in-law would change it. Didn't think too much about it."

After hearing this sentence, Cao Zhuo realized several layers of meanings. First of all, the most important thing was that his little cousin was really favored by the concubine, and his little cousin really had Cao Cao in his heart. The family is the seed of their Cao family!

"You are right to hear what he said, but I have never seen my cousin's true face. Mr. Yuchi said that my cousin had a portrait with that Bai Wan. Where is the portrait? I will ask the Bai family to hand it over. The Bai family It's a pity that the dirty and lowly gangs only say that there is no such thing..."

Cao Zhuo looked at Yu Chiyuan, and confessed: "Why don't you find the painter who painted your cousin and let him show it to His Highness silently, so that His Highness won't be deceived and deceived again in the future. "

Yu Chiyuan immediately nodded and said: "It should have been like this a long time ago. Don't worry, Your Highness. I will definitely find the painter for you. However, I don't know how long Your Highness will stay in Yangzhou. At least some effort will be required to paint the portrait well. What's more, the painter wants to recite it silently?"

When Cao Zhuo came this time, he couldn't go back without taking Gu Zhu with him: "It's probably winter before I leave, it's still early."

"By the way, Mr. Yuchi, why don't you accompany my highness around Yangzhou in the past few days, it's best to go to the places my cousin likes, and tell me more about what my cousin likes to eat, what dramas he likes, and what fragrances he likes. .”

Yu Chiyuan's eyelids drooped for a moment, and he agreed, "It's only natural. I don't know how many people would be envious of being able to get close to His Highness."

After watching Yu Chiyuan's performance with his third cousin, Gu Zhu hurriedly turned the path to Mingyuan after the performance was over and it started to rain again, to join Dabing Daddy.

Dad Dabing prepared the carriage to take him to Zhuangzi further away, packed it together with his iron pillars and Gu Zhi's nephew, hit the carriage early, and waited for him.

Originally Dabing Daddy wanted to hide with him, saying that as long as he hides anyway, the third prince can do nothing to them, but who would have thought that before he left, someone would report that the old lady had a stroke, half His face was paralyzed, Patriarch Taki hurriedly asked his father to go and have a look, but he couldn't go with him because of the delay, so he stayed.

Gu Zhu was sent to the carriage, sat with Tie Zhu, told Dabing Daddy to take care of Ah Wan and Yu Chiyuan, and was escorted away again in the misty rain.

He opened the curtain, looked back, and saw Dabing Dad holding an oil-paper umbrella standing under the porch of the back alley of the General's Mansion, as if he hadn't had enough to eat for several days, and he always felt that his chubby dad had lost a lot of weight.

The rain was pattering on the bluestone slabs, and after crossing the bridge, the General's Mansion was no longer visible. Gu Zhu then retracted her little head, feeling several embarrassments and sadness.

Feeling uncomfortable, he buried his face in Tie Zhu's arms, closed his eyes and drew two moist flowers on his clothes.

——I don’t know when the next time I will meet Daddy Dabing...

Gu Zhu hadn't said a few words to his father properly, but he left again.

Along the way, the carriage never stopped. Occasionally, a guard said that someone was chasing after him, but he quickly got rid of it.

In the evening at the farm at the foot of the mountain, Gu Zhu only saw Guanshi Guo when he was having dinner. This time, Guanshi Guo looked at him more strictly and did not ask him to be alone with Tie Zhu at all. Even sleeping, several servants took turns taking turns. watch.

Gu Zhu expressed her understanding of this, and was good at finding things to do for herself. While assigning Gu Zhi a large number of exam questions over the years and doing them repeatedly until they were perfect, she read the story books with Xie Chongfeng, or asked Guan Guo and Gu Zhi to have free time. Playing cards, by the way, ask Guanshi Guo who his dozen or so cousins ​​who are princes are, their family background and character, and inquire about everything in detail.

Gu Zhu is not worried about Father Bing, he knows that Father Bing is powerful, and he also knows that Third Cousin is not omnipotent as he thinks, after all, Third Cousin seems to know that he has something to do with Ah Wan, but he has no way to deal with Ah Wan , so it's like a fox in tiger skin, as long as the fox doesn't catch him and make daddy timid, then everything can be dragged on peacefully.

It's just a pity that Gu Zhu never knew how the emperor's uncle and mother dealt with Xie Chongfeng here.

But Gu Zhu guessed that there should be nothing to do. After so long, people in Chang'an think that the paralyzed lying down is the real Xie Chongfeng, so it is estimated that as long as the person next to him does not go out to seek death, he will not be left alone. relation.

Around mid-May, Gu Zhu, lying on Tie Zhu, was basking in the sun while listening to her nephew Gu Zhi reading.

Gu Zhi is indeed a rare book prodigy, but in the relationship, Gu Zhu also found that Gu Zhi never wanted to mention the family of Sanbo who lived in Chang'an. Others always say "brotherly love", Gu Zhu used to think so, but now Gu Zhu feels that there are some secrets in it...

In the generation of the Gu family and his father, there are five brothers in total, the first two have passed away, so the eldest is the third uncle, and the fourth uncle is now married to a dark marriage. , but he is rare, and he doesn't know much about it.

All I know is that Sanbo was an official in Chang'an, and he seldom went back to Yangzhou on New Year's Eve, only sending things back.

Knowing that the third uncle married Bai Yueguang, his big pie father, as his successor.

Now, I am afraid that there will be a big question mark on Sanbo's past.

Just when Gu Zhu was looking for a chance to get some words out of Brother Zhi's mouth, and asked if something was wrong back then, but she hadn't had a chance to speak yet, on such a leisurely afternoon, she saw a small ball of paper falling on the At his feet, he picked it up curiously, unfolded it, his expression changed immediately, he took the note and confronted Steward Guo directly!Xie Chongfeng, who was used as a bed board by Gu Zhu for a long time, followed slowly, and patted the suspected saliva on the front of his clothes.

"Uncle Guo, did something happen at home?!" Gu Zhu broke into the study and saw Uncle Guo practicing calligraphy, and was startled by him, almost destroying the calligraphy.

Guo Guanshi raised his eyes to look at him, his eyes were still calm, he didn't reveal any emotion that he was eager to know, but said lightly: "Young Master, where are you listening to the wind and the rain again?"

Gu Zhu didn't hand over the ball of paper, but just held it in his hand, and said anxiously: "Don't worry about where I heard it from, just say, did the third prince find a piece of paper in the well in the courtyard where the second brother lived? Soaked bones?! The third prince is sure that it was the murder of the second brother, because no one has ever entered the yard. In the past few years, the second brother lived there for a while. Now our family is isolated by many nobles in Yangzhou. Support, even Lord Song, the magistrate of Yangzhou, judged that the second brother Qiao did it? Now you want to arrest the second brother Qiao and bring him back to punish him?"

Guanshi Guo cast his eyes down, and said briefly, "Fifth Lord has his own way of doing this."

"Father, what can he do? Where did the body come from at home? Whose body is it? Is it a lowly slave or a good citizen? You know that Father is Guan Shi, he didn't like the second brother..." Gu Zhu I suspect that Dabing Daddy will not care about it at all, and let the second brother be wronged, yes, the second brother must have been wronged!The third cousin is now forcing him to show up in order to let him follow him back to Chang'an.

"Second brother's daughter-in-law, sister Lurong, is still pregnant, and I don't know what to do now..."

Gu Zhu paced around the study room several times with his hands behind his back, his face serious, but soon remembered something, and said in a voice that could not be denied: "Uncle Guo, tell me, is that bone a child's bone? It's about ten years old."

Steward Guo was stunned by the look in the young master's eyes for a moment, paused, and said: "Yes, after investigation, it has been confirmed that he is the son of Steward Feng, the fourth master of the family. Zi Fengyan is a good citizen, so..."

Gu Zhu understood that the real culprit was none other than Liu Ling, who had a feud with Feng Yan and was ruthless!

Liu Ling has the motivation, the ability, and the time. With a little interrogation, he will definitely obey the law!

I just don't know if Liu Ling was sentenced to exile and is still in the prison in Yangzhou.

"Prepare the horse! I'm going to Yangzhou Prison to meet someone." Gu Zhu couldn't bear it any longer. He wanted to go out and meet his third cousin who disappointed him so much. He would do whatever it takes to achieve his goal, even if he wronged others. If he wants to satisfy his cousin, he refuses to admit that it is useless to wait peacefully for his cousin to go back, so he will tell the third cousin directly and tell him not to think that his family is now isolated, so he can do whatever he wants with his family.

In Yangzhou, if you want to bully someone, you have to look at yourself in the mirror to see if you are capable enough.

Just a cousin who actually thought of seducing her for the sake of establishing a relationship, so don't worry about it!
