For her husband's perfunctory behavior, Mrs. Wei Guogong couldn't stand it anymore, and took the square clean veil again to help him wipe off the remaining blood on his face.

As he approached, Mrs. Wei Guogong suddenly felt that something was wrong, she stopped the movements of her hands, looked down, and lost her voice: "Your stomach..."

Being reminded by her like this, Wei Guogong was enlightened, and finally figured out why he faintly felt that something was wrong when he was in Tianyin Pavilion.

It turned out that his general's belly was gone... No, it should be said that his belly became flat.

The couple faced each other face to face, eye to eye, nose to nose, and didn't speak for a while.

Mrs. Wei Guogong couldn't help but move her hand down and touched Wei Guogong's belly, and then she was sure that the old man's big belly was really gone.

Thinking of the black and red blood all over the floor in the private seat, Mrs. Wei Guogong suddenly realized: what the old man vomited out was the filth that had been accumulated in his stomach for more than 20 years!

"It's amazing!" Mrs. Wei Guogong sighed sincerely.

That sweaty horse can only be regarded as an apology, and it is far from enough as a consultation fee.

Mrs. Wei Guogong thought for a while, then lifted the small curtain directly in front of the carriage, and called out the name of the long follower: "Ah Fu."

"Ma'am?" The long follower who was sitting on the shaft outside hastily turned around.

"Go and find out, who is the girl in Tianyin Pavilion who is with the first prince." Mrs. Wei Guogong ordered, and then specially warned, "Don't disturb others lightly and seriously."

Chang Sui responded to orders again and again, with great respect.

It's not difficult for Duke Wei's mansion to inquire about a person, and Gu Yanfei didn't hide her identity on purpose, so she didn't go out in men's clothes to avoid people's eyes and ears, but just for convenience.

In the evening, the long follower, Ah Fu, came to report to Wei Guogong and his wife: "Master, madam, the girl from Tianyin Pavilion is the second girl from the Dingyuanhou's residence."

Wei Guogong was lazily leaning on the couch, holding a large bowl with blue flowers on a white background, frowning at the steaming brown soup. This soup looks very bitter!

"The Gu family?" Mrs. Wei Guogong stopped in mid-air with the teacup in her hand in astonishment.

She has never seen such a girl in the Gu family, nor has she heard of it.

Among the girls of this generation in the Dingyuan Houfu, she only knew Gu Yunxie.

Gu Yunxie is the daughter of Gu Ce, Marquis of Xian Dingyuan, with excellent luck. She never falls behind in competitions with others; draws lots with others, and always wins the lottery; the number of people who have been favored by her is countless... There are rumors in Beijing There are many anecdotes and anecdotes about her good luck, even her natal sister-in-law praised Gu Yunxie in front of her as a lucky person.

Not only is she lucky, but Gu Yunxie is also quite talented. She is one of the best in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and poetry. Concubine, there is only one sentence of emotion among the various houses, and no one speaks bitter words.

When Mrs. Wei Guogong was a guest in Biefu, she also took a few glances at Gu Yunxie from afar.

Chang Sui nodded, and continued to report, "It is said that she is the lost daughter of Gu's family, who was just found back in October, and her boudoir name is Yan Fei."

"Is this girl also the daughter of Gu Ce and Mrs. Xie?" Mrs. Wei Guogong said in surprise.

Mrs. Wei Guogong vaguely remembered that Mrs. Xie had been dead for more than ten years, and Mrs. Xie's appearance in her memory had become a little blurred. Now that I think about it carefully, it is indeed somewhat similar to that girl.

But if she remembers correctly, Mrs. Xie only has one son and one daughter.

"It is the daughter of Xianding Yuanhou and his wife." Chang Sui explained again, "It is said that the girl Gu Yunxie is not the girl of Gu's parents' house, and now she has been adopted under the name of the second house."

Mrs. Wei Guogong frowned, what a mess! ?

do not understand.

In short, Gu Yanfei is the daughter of Gu Ce and Mrs. Xie, so that's fine.

While thinking, she gave Wei Guogong a slight sideways glance.

Wei Guogong was shocked, and he didn't dare to ink any more. He gulped down the soup with a bitter face, and said vaguely: "Gu Ce is amazingly talented. He is a rare general, but it's a pity that he surrendered to the enemy... ..."

The Southern State of Yue has always been ambitious. Eight years ago, the State of Yue sent another 100,000 troops to raid the southern border of Dajing. The war broke out again, causing countless casualties.

Gu Ce, Marquis of Dingyuan, guarded Yangzhou with 50,000 troops, but he was unable to do so, so he wrote to ask for help.

At that time, the first emperor and those high-ranking aristocratic families were in charge of peace, Wei Guogong, Gu Ce and other nobles were in charge of the battle, and those powerful officials from poor families were either fighting or peace, vacillating.

The first emperor wanted to negotiate peace with the Yue Kingdom, but he did not issue a decree to reinforce Yangzhou. Gu Ce tried his best to hold on for three months, but in the end he had no choice but to open the city gate to the Yue Kingdom...

However, the Yue people had no faith and beheaded Gu Ce.

When the first emperor heard that Gu Ce had surrendered to the enemy, he was furious and almost took the title of Marquis of Dingyuan. However, Gu Yunlai, the six-year-old daughter of Gu Ce, saved King Kang during the Yangzhou Rebellion and made up for it.

The first emperor thought about it, and finally, bypassing Gu Ce's eldest son, Gu Yuan, passed the title of Marquis of Dingyuan to Gu Jian, the second wife.

Thinking of these past events, Wei Guogong also felt a little bit embarrassed, and sighed: "It shouldn't be like this..."

If the first emperor sent troops to support Yangzhou in time, why would Gu Ce be cornered and even surrender to the enemy!

A lifetime of wisdom is ruined.

Although Wei Guogong didn't say anything wrong with the first emperor, but the wife of Wei Guogong could hear what her husband was saying, sneeredly curled the corner of her lower lip, and said with a sneer: "The first emperor is a fool!"

Emperor Taizu was a romantic figure, but unfortunately his sons were all mediocre, and none of them had the demeanor of his father. The late emperor ascended to the throne of God only by virtue of his status as the eldest son.

Duke Wei stroked his beard and sighed, "Gu Ce's son, Gu Yuan...is not easy."

He still remembered that in the fall of the year before last, Gu Yuan went to the coast with the forbidden army to wipe out the Japanese pirates. He made great contributions and should have been promoted to at least two ranks, but in the end he didn't get any reward from the late emperor. The reason is obvious.

Duke Wei's status is noble, and it is a great honor for Gu Yuan to let Duke Wei remember his name.

Mrs. Wei Guogong raised her heroic eyebrows and said with a smile: "It seems that she is a good girl just like that girl."

Duke Wei murmured: "Gu Yuan seems to be in the Xishan Camp now, Ren..."

He didn't remember clearly, and was about to instruct his attendants to inquire, when the door curtain was raised at this moment, and a nurse in charge walked in without looking sideways, blessed the two masters, and said: "Duke Lord, madam, King Kang and Master Yuan heard that Lord Guo is ill, so they came to visit specially, and they also brought the Immeasurable Master Shangqing Daoist with them."

While speaking, the nurse in charge couldn't help but look brilliant.

Shangqing Daoist is known as a fairy in the capital city, and he is both excellent in medicine and practice. There is an endless stream of believers who visit Wuliang Temple and seek medical treatment on weekdays, but they often don't even see each other. It is necessary to post half a month in advance.

Living gods like Shangqing Daoist can't be invited just by asking.

Wei Guogong and his wife looked at each other, and Wei Guogong's wife twitched the corner of her mouth with a half-smile, and said meaningfully: "King Kang probably knows that the eldest prince is also in Tianyin Pavilion today."

Wei Guogong was the most impatient to deal with those pretentious noble families, so he said angrily: "Let them go back, just say that I have already rested."

The nanny in charge took the order without saying a word.

After a while, Chu You and Yuan Zhe, who were waiting outside the gate of the Duke's Mansion, got a message from the nanny in charge.

"Hmph." Kang Wang Chuyou in the carriage snorted slightly dissatisfied, "I'm telling you, these nobles haven't even wiped their muddy legs clean, so they just put on the appearance of a wealthy family."

Three generations are a wealthy family, and a hundred years is a family.

The Duke of Wei's mansion has only passed down to the second generation, and it can't even be called a wealthy family.

Yuan Zhe was sitting opposite Chu You, and calmly comforted him: "Be safe and don't be impatient."

He squinted at the plaque of Duke Wei's Mansion outside the window, and a look of disapproval flashed in his deep eyes.

Yuan Zhe took a sip of tea before saying meaningfully: "The eldest prince hides really deeply."

Inside the carriage, there was silence.

Chu You's long and narrow eagle eyes narrowed, with a cold light shining, he couldn't help but think about the things that led to his being demoted.

After that day, when he received a letter from Xie'er, he learned something about what happened in the Hou's Mansion. After thinking about the game in Dongnuange, he was finally convinced that he had been tricked.

Today, he purposely brought Qing Zhenren here to see whether Duke Wei is sick or not...

Chu You's eyes became colder, and he asserted: "Chu Yi must be using some tricks again."

Wei Guogong was watching a play in Tianyin Pavilion, and he vomited blood inexplicably, and was seen by Chu Yi who happened to be there, and Chu Yi happened to have a "miracle doctor" by his side.

What a coincidence!

Chu You didn't believe that Chu Yi didn't use any tricks secretly, such as: first harm people, then save them!

Yuan Zhe was noncommittal.

He opened one side of the curtains, and smiled apologetically at the silent Taoist priest in the other carriage, showing respect, and said, "Today, I have bothered the real person for nothing. Would the real person want to go to the humble house to rest?"

The Daoist Shangqing raised his eyelids, his eyes were profound and detached, he smiled at Yuan Zhe, and said, "Believers don't need to worry about it, everything is fate. The poor Taoist has to go back to the lecture, so I won't bother the believers today."

Yuan Zhe didn't force any more, and ordered the coachman to send Master Shangqing back to Wuliang Temple, and then left with Chu You.

Duke Wei was among the four princes, and every move of the Duke's mansion was watched by many people in the court. Soon, everyone in the court knew that Duke Wei was seriously ill.

Therefore, in the next few days, many honorable ministers came to visit him one after another.

Even Mrs. Gu from the Dingyuan Hou's Mansion specially searched for some precious medicinal materials, and planned to ask Gu Jian and his wife to go there in person.

However, Duke Wei's mansion has recently closed its doors to thank guests, Mrs. Gu did not expect them to come in, she just wanted to express her intention to make friends.

If you want to make friends with such nobles, the Hou Mansion must show sincerity.

"Xinwen, the herbs you're looking for are a bit unusual, why don't you bring the 300-year-old ginseng in my warehouse with you as well."

Mrs. Gu made up her mind and decided to part with her.

Mrs. Hou's Madam Wang couldn't help but look overjoyed, and was about to thank Mrs. Tai when she was interrupted by the maid Bai Lu who had just entered the door: "Mrs. Tai, Miss Wei Jiu from Duke Wei's Mansion is here to visit."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other in surprise.

Wei Guogong's status is so high that he even dared to scold the late emperor back then, which shows his arrogance.

And this Miss Wei Jiu is the youngest daughter of Duke Wei's son, and she is deeply loved by Duke Wei and his wife.

The Gu family has no contact with the Duke of Wei's mansion, and they haven't visited yet. Why did the girl from the Duke of Wei's mansion come here in person? !

Bai Lu went on to say: "Miss Wei Jiu's servants said that they are here to see Miss Er today."

Bai Lu speaks clearly, but Mrs. Gu's ears can hear that "Second Miss" refers to Gu Yunxie of course.
