Do you know: I have a different surname: Wang, uncle Minglan

Chapter 13 The Yuan family hired someone, and Gu Tingye accompanied him
Wei Yuan and Xu Changzhi led hundreds of guardsmen to Yangzhou.

The latter wanted to persuade him, but after all, he still had to go to the capital and take all his guards with him, fearing that he would be criticized by the censor.

However, Wei Yuan's purpose on this trip was to build up his momentum so that he could support his eldest sister.

In addition, he deliberately acted like he was young and successful, hoping that the officials would take him lightly and think that although he was a general, he had no plans.

So naturally he didn't listen to Xu Changzhi's dissuasion.

The military system of the Great Zhou Dynasty consisted of ten armies under the Xiang's jurisdiction, five camps under the army's jurisdiction, and five capitals under the camp's jurisdiction, each with a hundred people.

Once you reach the level of regimental trainer, you can have a personal guard city.

Hundreds of mighty cavalry left Yanmen and were in the limelight for a moment.

It is said that he was on his way to Yangzhou.

Something happened to the Gu family of Marquis Ningyuan in the capital.

As soon as Gu Yankai returned home, he heard from his wife Qin that during his time away from home, the young Gu Tingye had been nostalgic for the brothels.

Gu Tingye is the second son of the Gu family, and there is an eldest brother above him. Unfortunately, he is weak and sick and will not last long. Therefore, Gu Yankai pinned all the future hopes of the Gu family on Gu Tingye.

And Gu Tingye's biological mother is not the Qin family. The Qin family is Xuxian. Gu Tingye's biological mother, the Bai family, has died of illness.

His biological mother came from a famous merchant family in Yangzhou.

The Qin family also has a son, who is still young.

Because Qin felt that Gu Tingye would affect her own son's status in the palace, she often secretly targeted Gu Tingye, and her usual tactic was to kill someone with a borrowed knife.

For example, she often uses others to target Gu Tingye, and she pretends to be a good aunt in front of Gu Tingye.

When Gu Yan opened his mouth, he saw that Gu Tingye was so unwilling to make progress and was so angry that he called Gu Tingye over and scolded him severely, saying:
"Wei Yuan, the guard of Yanmen, is only a few years older than you, but he has already gone to the battlefield to fight with the enemy, and he has also made unparalleled achievements!"

"When Wei Yuan was your age, he already made a name for himself in the army, but what about you?"

"You know that being nostalgic for Goulan Washe has ruined the reputation of my Gu family and deserves a beating!"

In the past few days, Gu Tingye, who is only fifteen years old, has also heard a lot about Wei Yuan's deeds, and he also yearns for it.

As a general, it is unreasonable not to have a dream of galloping on the battlefield.

However, now that he heard Wei Yuan mentioned by his father, he felt a little angry and said:

"If a kid joins the army, he won't necessarily be worse off than him!"

Hearing the sound, Gu Yankai laughed angrily and said: "I don't know how many pounds you have? Stop talking nonsense! From now on, you are not allowed to go to Goulan Washe again. If I find you going again, I will break your legs." !”

Gu Tingye retorted: "My child has been practicing martial arts in the house recently. I wonder who my father heard that my child often goes to a brothel?"

I definitely went there, but I never went there every three days.

Gu Yankai was about to say something more when he suddenly heard someone coming to report that the old man of the Bai family in Yangzhou had passed away.

That old man Bai is the father of Gu Tingye's biological mother. He wants to call his grandfather.

Upon hearing the news of Mr. Bai's death, Gu Tingye was obviously startled, and then a little sad.

Gu Yankai took a deep breath and asked the servant who came to deliver the message, "When did it happen?"

The servant didn't know much, so he just handed the suicide note written by Mr. Bai himself to Gu Yankai.

After seeing it, he was slightly surprised and said to Gu Tingye:
"You set off for the Bai family immediately and bring more guards."

The latter blurted out: "Father won't go?"

Gu Yan said: "The old man wants to entrust the Bai family's property to you. It is not convenient for my father to go. This is what the old man meant."

Gu Tingye sighed.

The Bai family has been doing business in Yangzhou for many years and has a rich family property.

Nowadays, most of them will be given to Gu Tingye, which shows that Mr. Bai has great love for him.

The next day, Gu Tingye left the Hou Mansion without any bodyguards. Instead, he disguised himself and left the capital.

He took the waterway to Yangzhou. On the way, he met Dalang Yuan of Zhongqin's residence.

The Yuan family, the Gu family, the British Duke Zhang family, etc., are all the founding nobles.

It's a pity that the Yuan family has been weak in recent years and has gradually moved away from the court.

The eldest son of the Yuan family is named Yuan Wenchun. He grew up in Beijing and has met Gu Tingye since he was a child.

It is also known that he is a descendant of the Gu family of Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, so he intends to make friends with him. After all, since Gu Yankai's triumphant return, the power of the Gu family has risen to a higher level. The Yuan family, which had already lost its power, naturally wanted to fawn over them.

So, Yuan Wenchun took the initiative to find Gu Tingye beside the waterway pier and asked:

"But Erlang Gu?"

Hearing this, Gu Tingye frowned and said, "Uncle Yuan?"

Yuan Wenchun smiled and said: "Where are you going, Erlang Gu? How did you come to this pier?"

Gu Tingye only said that he had something to do in Yangzhou, and when he saw the Yuan family carrying various gifts to a large ship, he asked curiously: "Uncle, what is this?"

As soon as Yuan Wenchun heard that he was also going to Yangzhou, he said, "I am also going to Yangzhou. I am hiring the Yangzhou Tongpan Sheng family on behalf of my family."

Recruitment?

Gu Tingye was curious.

Yuan Wenchun told the whole story,

"My brother Yuan Wenshao has made a marriage arrangement with Sheng Hualan, the eldest daughter of the Sheng family. However, my parents occasionally caught wind and cold and suffered from the fatigue of traveling and traveling, so they asked me to go to the Sheng family in Yangzhou to recruit her on my behalf."

Marriage between Tangtang Bofu and Tongpan?

When Gu Tingye thought of this, he understood instantly.

The Yuan family was already in decline, and it was also a martial arts family, so it was not favored by the court's civil servants.

He had also heard about the Tongpan Sheng family in Yangzhou. He had once visited Tanhua, and they were a newly promoted official family.

Some of the established Qingliu families are naturally unwilling to get married to the Wuxun family.

The Yuan family wants to use the power of Qingliu to climb up, and the Sheng family is indeed a choice.

Later, Yuan Wenchun invited Gu Tingye to accompany him.

Gu Tingye agreed, but he had something to say first, and he must not reveal his identity when he went there.

Later, Gu Tingye thought of a pseudonym - Bai Ye.

At this point, I went to Yangzhou with the Yuan family.
-
now.

Yangzhou, Shengjia.

Although the New Year has passed, the weather has not gotten warmer, but has become colder.

Ever since scout Li Chuan gave Wei Shuyi the jade hairpin, she has been depressed and depressed all day long, not wanting to eat or drink.

On this day, Xiaodie followed Wei Shuyi's order and went to the city to buy some charcoal for heating. On the way, she heard many people talking about Wei Yuan, the guard of Yanmen.

Xiaodie is Wei Shuyi's personal maid. She heard Wei Shuyi talk about Wei Yuan many times, and when she heard that it was related to him, she inquired about it.

When he learned that Wei Yuan fought a bloody battle with the Liao army, defended Yanmen, and became a hero of the Zhou Dynasty, he was very excited. He immediately returned home and complained about the carbon fire to Wei Shuyi.

"My dear, the servants at home are really harsh on you. You are pregnant now, and even your charcoal is being deducted from you. Your monthly salary is not much, how can you use the money you have worked so hard to save to buy charcoal every day?"

"Why don't you, this slave, go and see your master, tell him this matter, and ask him to make a decision for you?"

Hearing the sound, Wei Shuyi, who was lying on the bed, shook his head quickly and said: "No, the Lord has many things to do, don't bother him, we can just bear it and get over it."

Xiaodie felt aggrieved, thinking about Wei Yuan, and said:

"Mother, Mr. Wei may be fine. I heard someone on the street saying that Yanmen was defended and we defeated the Liao army."

Hearing this, Wei Shuyi, who was originally dull, suddenly became energetic and asked, "Seriously?"

In the past few days, she had been waiting for news about Wei Yuan in the house.

Logically speaking, if a soldier dies on the battlefield, it can take as little as one month, as long as six months, and the government will come to report his death.

Even if the report was reported to Wei Yuan's second sister, his second sister would send someone to inform Wei Shu of his concern.

During this period, no news came, which gave Wei Shuyi some hope.

Xiaodie smiled and said: "My dear, can I still lie to you?"

Wei Shuyi instantly burst into tears, clasped his hands together, and murmured:

"A common girl is willing to eat fast and chant Buddha's name all her life. She would rather sacrifice her life. She only asks the Buddha to keep Brother Yuan safe and sound."
