Chapter 423: Changes in the Gu family, Gu Er’s wedding

As soon as Wang Zhong came down from the yamen, he saw Gu Er, who had been waiting outside the yamen for a long time.

"If you're not busy preparing for the wedding, why would you come here to see me when you have time?" Wang Chong smiled and stepped forward to joke with Gu Er.

Gu Er said: "The wedding will be organized by the people in the palace, so I don't need to worry about it!"

But there was no smile on his face.

"What's wrong with you? Good things are about to happen, why don't you see a smile?" Wang Zhong looked at Gu Er and asked doubtfully.

Gu Er said: "Go to Fanlou, let's talk while eating."

Seeing that Gu Er seemed to have something on his mind, Wang Zhong did not refuse. He sent Yu Chuer home to inform him, and he followed Gu Er straight towards Fan Tower.

Although it was afternoon and it was not time for dinner, there was still a lively and lively scene in Fanlou.

Gu Er had already booked a quiet private room. The two of them went up to the second floor and went straight into the private room. A moment later, a table of fine wine and delicacies was served.

Since stir-fry cooking was introduced to Tokyo, Fan Lou's chefs have been studying in different ways. Although their stir-fry skills are far inferior to Wang Zhong's, they are not inferior to those of the chefs in Wang Zhong's restaurant.

After being pulled by Gu Er to drink three cups in a row, Wang Zhong finally asked the doubts in his heart: "What's wrong?"

Gu Er said with some depression in his heart: "My father promised me that he would open an ancestral hall in front of the whole clan and rectify my mother's name in the genealogy. But when I mentioned this matter at home the day before yesterday, my elder My brother refused to agree to it, even to the point of death. The night before yesterday, my father was so angry that he vomited blood and fainted. Fortunately, he took the life-sustaining pills you gave him, and he was able to hold on until the imperial doctor arrived, administered injections and medicine, and saved my father from death. Pulled back from the gate of hell."

"Then you still have time to have a drink with me?" Wang Zhong said angrily.

Gu Er said: "Father is awake now. The imperial doctor said that there is no serious problem for the time being. He can only nurse back to health slowly. And even if he recovers, he will probably be confined to bed in the future and will be unable to walk like a normal person, let alone use force." I feel troubled, who else can I look for besides you."

As he spoke, he sighed and looked at Gu Er, whose eyes were a little dark and his brows looked tired. Wang Zhong said, "What about your marriage?"

"Father said that no matter what, the marriage must go ahead as usual. If he can't see me marry and have children, he won't be able to rest in peace even if he dies!"

The knot between Gu Er and Gu Yankai was completely resolved as early as that night when the father and son joined hands with King Qin to escort him.

Wang Zhong said with emotion: "Gu Hou's love for his son is truly genuine."

Speaking of this, Gu Er couldn't help but talk about what happened to the Gu family a few days ago: "A few days ago, my father also separated the fourth uncle and the fifth uncle's family and asked them to move out of the Hou Mansion! For this matter, the fourth uncle and his family were separated. My uncle and my fifth uncle even had a quarrel with their father, and they almost didn’t break up."

Wang Zhong said: "Your fifth aunt was killed by the traitor King Yan's sword, and your fourth aunt broke an arm. Your fourth and fifth uncles may have had a problem with you father and son for a long time. Gu Hou has protected them for most of their lives." , now I am willing to separate the two families for you, which is really cruel."

Speaking of Gu Yankai, Gu Er couldn't help but sigh. Now as he gets older and has more experience, he also understands Gu Yankai's painstaking efforts in the past. He also knows that Gu Yankai is a hard-spoken man with a cold face and a warm heart. He looks cold and majestic, but in fact he cares for him as much as his elder brother and third brother.

It's just that when I was a teenager, I acted recklessly, without regard for the consequences, and I was short-sighted and only looked at the surface. This resulted in the relationship between father and son being so stiff for so many years.

Under the mediation of Wang Zhong and Chang Bai, the relationship between father and son had already eased when Gu Er went to Quanzhou. On the day King Yan rebelled and forced the palace to invade last year, the father and son sat down and had a good talk while they were in the palace. After talking for a while, the past suspicions were settled.

"What about your mother?" Wang Zhong changed his tone and asked about the topic that Gu Er had not finished talking about just now.

Gu Er said: "Before my father fell into coma, he had already written a note and submitted it to the palace. Yesterday, the officials issued an edict to confer my mother's imperial title. My father did not change his mind. He only waited for the clan members from his hometown in Xiangyang to arrive in Tokyo. Just open an ancestral hall and write a family tree."

"What about your eldest brother?" Wang Zhong asked curiously.

Gu Er snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "He really dares to commit suicide!"

The clay figure is also very angry, not to mention Gu Er. Gu Tingyu's repeated attacks and frame-ups have already completely wiped out the already weak brotherhood. Now they are even threatening each other with death, forcing Gu Yan to refuse. To prove to Gu Er's biological mother that Gu Er was born as a human son. If he hadn't cared about blood ties, Gu Yankai, and court laws, he would have killed Gu Tingyu long ago.

Wang Zhongdao: "To tell you the truth, you don't have to get involved in the Gu family, which is a big family. If you can escape, with your ability and given time, it is not impossible to become a marquis and worship the prime minister!"

"Hey!" Gu Er couldn't help but sigh when he heard the words: "Blood is thicker than water, so how can I just give it up? Besides, at least my father still cares about me wholeheartedly, and my third brother has never had any My nieces and nephews are also innocent for hurting me."

"You, you!" Wang Zhong shook his head and said, "But if you really abandon the Gu family and don't care about it, you won't be Gu Tingye anymore."

"He who knows me is a prince!" Gu Er picked up the wine cup and said, "Here, have another cup."

"Do it!" Wang Zhong also picked up the wine cup, touched it with Gu Er, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.

"Only now do I understand how much pressure my father has put on his shoulders over the years." Gu Er said with emotion as he put down his wine cup.

Wang Zhong nodded and said: "Gu Hou is indeed a man who is upright and upright."

"It's easy to hide from open guns, but hard to guard against hidden arrows. Now that Gu Hou is ill in bed, the power of the Hou family will inevitably be taken over by your stepmother. You have to be careful."

As soon as the words changed, Wang Zhong hurriedly reminded: "We are not in Haozhou now, and there is a large army accompanying us to protect us."

Speaking of Haozhou, Gu Er's face darkened. When he was suppressing the rebellion in Haozhou, Gu Er had a smooth sailing on the battlefield and won consecutive battles. However, he was assassinated in his own camp and almost died.

The mastermind behind the assassination incident was none other than the Bai family of Yangzhou. Gu Er was angry at that time. In the past, he was thinking about his bloodline. He did not kill all the Bai family, but only punished them and took back the property left by his grandfather. , he let them go, never thinking that the Bai family would never want to take back Mr. Bai's properties from his hands.

At that time, Gu Er was busy fighting the rebels on the front line and had no time to go to Yangzhou, so he asked Che Sanniang and Shi Keng to tie up the second son of the Bai family and several principals in front of Gu Er in Haozhou. In response to Gu Er's inquiry, Bai Laoer, who was not stingy at all, did not hide anything, and explained everything with a bit of madness, including the fact that he colluded with people in Tokyo and prepared to take Gu Er's life.

All the information was provided by Tokyo, and the Bai family was only responsible for the assassination.Gu Er asked Che Sanniang and Shi Keng to send out a few elite brothers from the Cao Gang to follow the clues and found the man next to Xiao Qin, Grandma Xiang. They had already found this. How could Gu Er still not guess what was going on behind the scenes? Who is the leader?

Gu Er said: "Don't worry, I am no longer the same person as before."

"Besides, what can she do to me as a housewife? They are just trying to frame me and ruin my reputation. They cannot be put on the table."

"She can't deal with you, but she can deal with your daughter-in-law after she comes out of the house!" Wang Zhong said: "Your stepmother has always had a very good reputation among the officials in Tokyo. If she tries to sow discord for you, Of course it doesn't matter to you if your husband and wife are separated from each other, but that doesn't necessarily matter to your unmarried daughter-in-law!
Your unmarried daughter-in-law is the legitimate daughter of a British father-in-law. She grew up in the British father-in-law's house and was loved by many. The British father-in-law and her brothers and sisters-in-law took great care of her. Outsiders said that she was of good character. Noble, clean-sighted, to put it more simply, doesn't it mean that you are simple-minded, kind and upright, and can't get rid of the sand in your eyes!
But what about your stepmother?I'm afraid that my whole body is covered with evil intentions. "

Gu Er's heart trembled. He really hadn't expected this, but he, Gu Er, was not someone who would give in easily. He looked at Wang Zhong and said: "Fighting against the sky is endless fun. Fighting against the earth is endless fun. Fighting against people is endless." Fighting is endless fun, you were the one who said this in the first place."

Wang Zhong met Gu Er's gaze and said, "What comes out of the den of tigers and wolves is naturally a tiger and a wolf."

Their eyes met, and then they laughed in unison.

"Hahahaha!"

"Before I went to Quanzhou, I really wasn't their opponent, but now!" Gu Er's eyes flickered and his expression changed: "It's still unclear who will win!"

There was a lot of confidence in his words.

"I'm afraid things are not as simple as you think!" Wang Zhong shook his head and said: "Now the situation in the court has become increasingly tense. There is already a faint tendency of opposition between the Queen Mother and the officials. If they can live in peace, that's all. But if one day the two sides really confront each other, with your stepmother’s shrewdness, knowing that she cannot defeat you, she will definitely take advantage of the situation.”

Gu Er looked at Wang Zhong with a serious expression and said, "Are you worried about the Queen Mother's love of power?"

Wang Zhongdao: "Power is indeed a good thing, but it can also corrode people's hearts!"

"A few days ago in the court, the Queen Mother did not care about the official family's face at all, and almost embarrassed the official family!" Gu Er said with some worry: "Once you have tasted the sweetness of power, how can you let it go!"

"The late emperor ruled for forty years, and his reputation for benevolence spread far and wide even to Khitan and Xixia. He gained great prestige both at court and at home. All the princes in the court were promoted by the late emperor. The Queen Mother sat in the queen's position. For more than 30 years, the late Emperor Tong was extremely affectionate and had a reputation as a virtuous person. Otherwise, why would the officials have invited the Queen Mother to come out behind the curtain to listen to politics?"

Gu Er naturally understood the truth and couldn't help but sigh: "I'm afraid it's easier to invite gods than to send them away!"

"It all depends on Zhong Huai's ability!" Wang Zhong looked at Gu Erdao.

Gu Er shook his head: "Easier said than done!"

······
At night, because Minglan's belly was getting bigger and her body was inconvenient, Wang Zhong went to Shulan's room to rest. Although Shulan's appearance was not as good as Minglan's, her figure was much plumper than Minglan's.

After experiencing Sun Zhigao, a scumbag, Shulan, who knows her shame and then becomes brave, is far more open-minded about boudoir fun than Minglan.

The room was filled with mist, which was caused by the transpiration of water vapor.

In the bathtub, Wang Zhong was naked and lying on the edge of the bathtub, exposing his strong muscles. Shulan's sleeves were tied with loops, and she was holding a bath towel in her hand, scrubbing Wang Zhong's back.

Wang Zhong asked: "How is the business at the dyeing shop recently?"

Shulan smiled and replied: "Business is very good. With the Lord's care, no one dares to trouble us. Our cloth is not expensive, of good quality, and comes in many colors. It is very popular among the people. I just opened the door to the customs a few days ago, and several batches of goods will be sent there in the next few days!"

The king nodded and asked: "Is there no news about the remaining fleets?"

Shulan shook her head and said: "There has been no news, I'm afraid the situation is already in danger."

After a few splashes, Wang Zhong stood up from the tub. Shulan took a bath towel and helped Wang Zhong carefully wipe off the water droplets on his upper body. Just as he turned around, he was hugged by a pair of big hands from behind.

Shulan only felt that her center of gravity was unstable. She had been picked up by Wang Zhong and walked towards the bed in the bedroom.

The summer night was already a bit hot. After the clouds and rain, Shulan was covered in sweat. After resting for a while, Wang Zhong pulled her into the bathtub placed in the penthouse.

Early the next morning, at Yinchu time, Wang Zhong had woken up. Looking at Shulan who was still sleeping soundly in his arms, Wang Zhong carefully put Shulan down, took the clothes lightly and walked out of the house, and only put the clothes away when he went outside. I put it on and went to the martial arts field.

After having breakfast with Minglan and changing into dry and loose robes, the couple took Wang Qier and Brother Xu in a carriage and went straight to Ningyuan Houfu.

Today is the wedding day of Gu Er and the girl from the Zhang family, so naturally Wang Zhong cannot be late.

Not long after, the carriage arrived at Ningyuan Street.

The entire Ningyuan Street is covered in red and colorful decorations. Even the two stone lions at the entrance of the Hou Mansion are hung with red silk. The lanterns hanging under the eaves of the main entrance have also been replaced with bright red, with the word '囍' written in gold on them. Character.

"Ouch! You're finally here. If you don't come, you'll miss the time!"

As soon as he saw Wang Zhong enter the door, wearing a bright red wedding robe, Gu Er couldn't wait to greet him. King Huan, Shen Congxing and several young generals from the Yuzhou line came to greet him one after another. After seeing them one by one, Minglan was greeted by the Zou family. He pulled Xiao Shen aside and started chatting.

King Huan was of high status, and naturally it was not easy for him to follow Gu Er to pick up his bride. Wang Zhong was captured as a young man, and followed Shen Congxing, Yuan Wenshao and several young generals from Yuzhou to ride with Gu Er and beat gongs and drums. The British government left.

Fortunately, the British government is a home of military commanders, and most of the gatekeepers are military men. Naturally, the questions asked are not so formal. After a lot of trouble, the group passed through many passes and finally received the bride. Return to the Hou Mansion.
