I was transformed in ancient aristocratic waste

"That's right, it's me." Gu Zhu asked Uncle Guo and the others to wait outside, stood at the front desk by himself, and looked curiously at the thick and large account of the good-hearted young man. At a glance, it was full of numbers. They are all big, which is extremely troublesome.

"Young master is also here to buy red-sugar ice powder today?" Mr. Wu wiped the handkerchief handed over by the servant, wiped his hands clean, then walked forward and greeted, "It's a pity that we didn't buy it two days ago. No more stock, and now many seasonings are expensive, and brown sugar is even more unaffordable, so I simply closed the door, and I happened to go back to my hometown to have a look."

"Oh, by the way, I haven't introduced it yet. My surname is Wu, my first name is Shanhuo, and my name is Jing'an."

Gu Zhu naturally followed suit and introduced himself, bowed his hands and said, "My little brother's surname is Gu, he is the [-]th child in his family, and his name is Suijin. He is staying in Chang'an temporarily, so thank you so much that day."

But Mr. Wu waved his hand, with a calm and generous expression: "I didn't do anything, why should Mr. Gu come to thank you?"

Gu Zhu laughed, thinking that last time he was so busy going on a date with Xie Chongfeng that he hadn't looked at Mr. Wu in front of him at all, so he felt a little guilty. Now that he looked at him carefully, he suddenly found that Mr. Wu in front of him was actually Yes, it is also very eye-catching, the beard stubble of ordinary men is completely absent, not to mention the white face, even the clothes are somewhat noble.

A good skin always makes people feel good.

Gu Zhu was just bored, so he asked one more question: "So Mr. Wu, will your shop still be open in the future?"

Mr. Wu lowered his eyes and smiled, and said: "It depends on the situation, but it should be opened, and it will be opened more and more."

"That's a good relationship. In the future, you reopen this store and send the post directly to Xiao Gu's mansion. I will bring my friends to join me."

After Gu Zhu finished speaking, she pinched the fan pendant in her hand and wanted to say goodbye, but she did not expect to be retained by Mr. Wu, and said enthusiastically, "Since Mr. Gu is so hospitable, there is a small farewell party at Wu's mansion tonight." , will invite three or five friends to say goodbye together, and I don’t know if Mr. Gu is free, so come to show me some face?”

Gu Zhu has nothing to do now, and the elder brother in Qingzhou has his father and Xie Chongfeng's people to protect him, keeping his mouth shut about the things he gave to him; Chang'an is rarely peaceful, but this tranquility is the tranquility before the storm...

Even if Gu Zhu wanted to go out and make friends again, he was still thinking about his father's recent health, but he didn't dare to risk his own safety, so he could only regret: "I'm afraid I can't, but since Brother Wu invited me, I'll definitely come here." There is a gift to send!"

After Gu Zhu swaggered and led his bodyguards away, the dumb girl beside Mr. Wu, who had been unknown all along, looked at the elder brother who was surrounded by others, and could clearly see that the young master was extremely beautiful, with a celestial look, strangely speaking. Adults never forget...

It's a pity that they will leave Daxing soon, and they say they will come back, but who knows how long it will be?

Daxing's imminent battle for the throne is still brewing, and the Xiongnu in the north broke out first. They Tianzhu just sit and watch the changes and reap the benefits of the fisherman.

night.

Gu Zhu said that he wanted to give that handsome Mr. Wu a farewell gift, but he was not lying. He personally picked and picked a jade bamboo hairpin in his small storeroom, and on the top were two emerald green hairpins. Bamboo leaves, simple and elegant, must be very suitable for Mr. Wu.

He sent a servant who was useful under his command to run errands, and the servant brought him back a gift in a short time. It was a jade cage, the size of a palm, very beautiful. Gu Zhu didn't like to play with those children in Chang'an. I am a playful grasshopper, but I really like this cage. For the first three days, I always put it in a place where I can reach out and play with it from time to time. On the fourth day, I put it on top of Babaoge and turn around to play with it. Nine serial rings sent by the Princess Princess.

The so-called seeing things and thinking about people, within two days, Gu Zhu thought of the princess who had been living in the palace all this time.

He wanted to miss his mother, but it was hard to see her. After all, his father was still negotiating with the rebellious minister and traitor Xie Zuzheng about rebelling against others, and he was caught in the middle. longer.

Besides, he vomited blood with his father, and his father kept fooling him and saying that it was nothing serious, but according to his coercion and lure to Uncle Guo, he could still know from a few words that his vomiting blood was completely caused by anger, and his anger was too strong. Well, he, the chief culprit who made father worry every day, had better be quiet and wait for time for many conflicts to be resolved.

—Of course, it would be nice if time was really that powerful.

After half a month of hiding in Xiao Gu's mansion to read villain books, Gu Zhu pushed down many invitations from his cousins ​​to invite him to the banquet. Father was afraid that he would be bored, so he found a gentleman from somewhere to tell him about the world. Fantastic Stories.

Of course, this Mr. Xiucai has a handsome appearance and a body like a weak willow. Every time Gu Zhu takes a second look, he will hold on to the hem of his clothes tightly, looking like someone who endured humiliation and came in to prostitute himself.

Gu Zhu was speechless, he didn't do things that make people difficult, besides, even if he was gay, it doesn't mean that as long as he is a man and good-looking, he should be raped, right? !How could he be so scary?

In a fit of anger, Gu Zhu resigned. Together with Gu Jiao, the eldest grandson of Gu Huan, the eldest son of the third uncle in Xiao Gu's mansion, and several young men of similar age in the mansion, they played cards in the back garden all day long. Today you lose me a Yu Ruyi , Tomorrow I will lose you a pendant of Wufu money, or else it will be a cage carved with jade, but there is a sense of joy that I don't know when it will be.

The weather was fine that day, and chrysanthemums were in full bloom everywhere in the mansion. The servants of Xiao Gu's mansion hurriedly brought out all the books in the library and spread them out in the yard to dry. As a result, the fragrance of books all over the mansion wafted in the air, making people feel ashamed. Relaxed and happy.

Gu Zhu played cards with his nephew Gu Jiao during this period of time, lost so much that he almost took out the apron at the bottom of the box, vowed not to play cards with his nephew again, but since he had nothing else to do, he dragged Gu Jiao all over the house Wandering around, either in this yard to compete who can throw the stone the farthest, or in that yard to compete who can coax the birds from the tree down.

Although Xiao Gu's Mansion was not as big as the General's Mansion in Yangzhou, it was enough for these two energetic young people to run around.

"Uncle, tell me, are you going to die today?" Gu Jiao's mother, who looked as if she had passed away, was born very well, but her mind was spent on eating, drinking and having fun, and she didn't pay much attention to her studies. Sleepy, so when I can't sleep at night, I pick up the book and read it twice, so that I can fall asleep in the next second.

"Nonsense, who did you listen to?" Gu Zhu was stunned for a while, and quickly stretched out his hand to make a 'shh' motion around his mouth, "Your words, hey, don't say it casually in front of others, because someone who cares will hear it , sue you, you will implicate a bunch of people, you know that?"

Gu Jiao is one year older than Gu Zhu, but she acts like a child in front of Gu Zhu, saying whatever she says, she nods her head, and says obediently: "I know, it's just that many brothers who play together in Chang'an Saying this in private, talking about the one above... I was in poor health at first, and I was dying to take the pill, but now I suddenly stop taking it, and I must be dying. Fu has something to do with it, saying that the man above is so skinny that he can't even get up, he only has one breath left, and he is just waiting to hear the news of the victory in the north."

"Huh?" Gu Zhu didn't know, he just remembered that the last time he saw his uncle, he seemed to be in good condition?

"Nowadays, no one has seen the emperor for a long time in the early court. It was the eunuch Zhou Fu who sent in the ministers' papers and reported them to the adults one by one the next day. Otherwise, he went directly to the court and frequently received the second prince. Confidant, Bachelor of Lu University."

While talking, Gu Jiao lay on the grass, holding his head in his hands, and said casually: "Uncle, tell me, who will be the emperor in the future? I'm afraid it must be the second prince in the imperial edict, but the second prince is still there." I don’t know if we can come back in time for Qingzhou’s flood control.”

Gu Zhu didn't dare to speak nonsense, but his lazy cells instantly became excited because of Gu Jiao's words.

At first, I thought there was nothing wrong with it, and I could wait for time to smooth everything out, so that everyone could be in a delicate balance. Who would have known that his emperor's uncle was a bitter melon who was about to die soon!

If his bitter uncle died, and the second cousin was still in Qingzhou and could not come back to take the throne, wouldn't the eldest cousin be able to usurp the throne or change the imperial edict?Or maybe the big cousin couldn't go up either, but Xie Zuzheng went up?

If the eldest cousin goes up, it's okay, mother should still be her eldest princess, but if Xie Zuzheng goes up, then the Cao family will be completely finished!

For someone like Xie Zuzheng, Gu Zhu doubted that after his father finished cooperating with this guy, this guy would not treat his family as well as agreed. In addition, he is also half of the Cao family, so he might disappear too.

——Will dad be tricked by Xie Zuzheng into selling it and help count the money?

Gu Zhu's sudden worry was not groundless, he would always remember the day when he was abducted in Yangzhou, his father exposed his influence just to save him...

Everything my father did was for him, not only for his revenge, but also for his glory and wealth.

But hatred was as light as a cloud in Gu Zhu's heart. When he was young, he only thought it was appalling, but he couldn't remember clearly. It's more important to enjoy the glory and wealth, and to live poorly if you don't have it. It's not a must.

It's a pity that his father couldn't listen to these words.

Gu Zhu was also lying on the grass, and sighed, but the breath hadn't come out smoothly from his mouth, and a series of screams came out from nowhere, breaking the tranquility of Xiao Gu's mansion in an instant!

"Ah!! Help!"

"Master! The commander of the imperial army said that he wants to arrest you!"

"Master! Something happened!"

Gu Zhu and his little nephew Gu Jiao got up from the ground together almost instantly. They glanced at each other, and they only saw the word "dazed" in each other's eyes.

They went out one after the other, and when they reached the front yard, they saw a mass of imperial guards with knives surrounding the entire Xiao Gu Mansion. The leader was Wang Siya, the commander of the imperial army. They will be detained and brought back to Dali Temple for interrogation, and no one will be let go!"

Gu Zhu had never seen this kind of scene of flying dogs and dogs, but he was calmer than Gu Jiao after all, seeing that Gu Jiao was also arrested, he couldn't help but stepped forward and asked, "I don't know why this lord arrested my family? "

Commander Wang bowed slightly to Gu Zhu, and said: "I have seen the young master, don't worry, this matter has nothing to do with you, it's just that Gu Weihai in the servant's mansion colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country, the evidence is solid, all the people in the Gu mansion are guilty , now the son-in-law has also been implicated, but as long as it is confirmed that he does not know about Gu Weihai, he should be able to clear his charges."

"What!? My dad was also arrested?" Gan!The third uncle's sick child usually doesn't show his mountains and dews, but at the critical moment, this is really a big surprise, "I can guarantee that my father will never know! It's too unfair to sit still, let alone my third uncle? He took a step How can a person who coughs three steps collude with the enemy and betray the country?"

"There is indeed evidence, please check it out, Lord Hou, and don't embarrass me." As he spoke, Commander Wang issued an order to his subordinates, "Take them all away!"

In an instant, there was not even a breather in Xiao Gu's mansion, and the whole place was in a mess.

Gu Zhu stood alone in the front yard of Xiao Gu's mansion for no reason, even Guan Shi was taken away, and he didn't even have anyone to consult with.

Things happened so fast, and the voice of that idiot Gu Jiao crying for him to save his life still echoed in his ears, poor Gu Zhu wanted to cry, how could he think of a way?

Maybe his only solution is to go to the palace and ask his mother for help. I heard that my mother and uncle have a very good relationship, otherwise it is impossible for my mother to accompany my uncle when he is seriously ill.

But he has been estranged from his mother for a long time, and he rushed to the door rashly, just to ask his mother to do something, he... How thick-skinned is he?What does the mother think of him?

However, although Gu Zhu was in a dilemma, he didn't flinch at all. He found his little white horse and headed towards the imperial city!A thick skin is a thick skin, how can it compare with his father's life? !

Entering the palace went smoothly.

Gu Zhu traveled smoothly all the way, until he reached the outside of Changle Palace, he realized something was wrong.

Changle Palace is the emperor's bedroom, mother is here to meet him, isn't the emperor's uncle also there?

What's even more strange is that there are very few people in Changle Palace, and the smell of medicine is extremely strong, mixed with some rotten smell...

He followed his father-in-law who claimed to be Zhou Fu into the courtyard full of exquisite carved beams and painted buildings, and went to the bedroom in the East Hall. The closer he got, the more he could smell the rotten smell.

Gu Zhu had a bad premonition, but Eunuch Zhou invited him in with a smile: "Young Lord, the eldest princess is waiting for you inside, go in quickly."

Gu Zhu's calves were throbbing, and they were so limp as hell, but so many lives of the whole family were in his hands, and if he didn't go in, there was really no hope at all.

He took a deep breath, pushed the door and entered, walked around the small hall, and when he walked there, he saw the princess sitting on the side of the bed with her back to him, and ten children of all sizes were kneeling under the bed, the youngest was only three years old. Years old, didn't understand anything, and seemed to understand everything, knelt there, weeping with all the emperor brothers.

And lying on the bed is the source of the smell.

It was a body like a skeleton with corpse spots. The owner of the body had written to him for more than ten years, and then cried bitterly in front of his face, and finally became like this.

Gu Zhu stood there stunned.

But the mother calmly turned her head and waved to him, saying: "My dear Zhuzhu, come here and bid farewell to your uncle. Your uncle has a last word, and he wants you to read the imperial edict to read the second prince's enthronement, are you willing?"

Gu Zhu opened his mouth, looked into the eyes of countless cousins ​​who looked at him sadly or blankly, and said, "My father...don't let me participate in these things." Sure, force daddy to help second cousin get the position.

"Your father's words don't count now, dear Zhuzhu, mother wants you to judge for yourself, what to do is the best..."

Gu Zhu's scalp tingled for a moment, knowing that the princess mother was telling him that as long as he was obedient, his father would be released, but wouldn't his doing so make his father and Xie Zuzheng an opponent as soon as he came out?He didn't know whether his choice was good or bad for his father, but he couldn't think of any other way.

In desperation, he nodded his head and said, "Okay." No matter what, his father must be saved first!
