Feng Heming

Chapter 56 Only Power Is Right
Coincidentally, at this time, the grandparents of the Gu family were also having a conversation.

"San Niang, what do you think of what happened today?"

At this moment, Patriarch Gu was sitting in a gazebo to enjoy the cool air. There were wind lanterns hung on the four corners of the gazebo, and the cool smoked wind was blowing gently, but Gu Yidan was not at all cool, but felt cold all over.

Her complexion was still pale, and she sat there quietly, as if her spine had been broken by something, and she no longer had the energy of the past.

It's like changing from a proud white swan to an ostrich buried in the sand and unwilling to come out.

Patriarch Gu is not in a hurry, and is still waiting quietly. Sanniang is the junior he has high hopes for. As long as Sanniang can meet his expectations, he will do his best to train her.

Gu Yidan has never felt the malice from the powerful like he did today.

For the first time, she personally faced the horror brought to her by power.

Heng Yuanxiang was smashed to pieces. If Jiang Wuniang hadn't been protecting her all the time today, I'm afraid she would have been hit too. Even the shopkeeper is still recuperating on the bed. Today's blow made him stare at him, and he tried to help her deal with the aftermath , I couldn't hold on and fell to the ground.

That moment really terrified her.

She didn't even dare to touch the shopkeeper, and she didn't relax until the doctor said that she would recover after a while of rest.

She still remembers how she felt at that time, her calves were shaking all the time, and her back was already wet, she thought, her face must have been ugly at that time.

She thought that she had the reputation of being the most talented woman in the world, that she would attract the children of the aristocratic family, and all parties should give her face.

Reality hit her hard.

"Sanniang, do you know that at the gate of Hengyuanxiang today, there have been officials from the yamen wearing ordinary uniforms hiding among the people and watching everything? If you can't break through the trick of the mother and daughter in the end, at this moment, you should be in a prison Sit down."

Patriarch Gu's words came faintly, like an evil ghost in the dark, frightening Gu Yidan shivered tremblingly.

Her complexion was even paler, and she felt that she was very cold, so cold that there was a chill in her bones, she couldn't help but put her arms around herself, trying to give herself a little warmth.

Unfortunately in vain.

In this gazebo where the night was gradually staining the earth, she seemed to feel the malice from this world.

That malice could even kill her.

"It turns out that this place is so scary."

Her lips moved, but she murmured in her heart, "It turns out that this place is a world that eats people."

The reputation of being the most talented woman in the world is useless, and it is useless to be able to make good poems.

It is wrong to rely on one's own ability to make money.

It is wrong to earn more and more money.

She is like a child, holding mountains of gold and silver in her hands. Anyone who sees her will feel greedy. Any adult will be able to cast her into hell and take away her gold and silver .

She closed her eyes.

A few images came to mind.

In Li Taiwei's mansion, even though her poems attracted everyone's appreciation, when Li Zhongwen and Cui Yushu came hand in hand, everyone forgot about her. Wang Xingjin and Lu Zijin even stood up to greet her.

At that time, Li Zhongwen and Cui Yushu were so insignificant in front of them, she was as insignificant as a gravel, not worth mentioning.

Today in Hengyuanxiang, that Mrs. Zhang dared to spit thick phlegm when facing her, but she was trembling with Jiang Wuniang's brother and did not dare to overstep.

Her hands slowly clenched into fists.

Power, and only power, is right.

If she had power, no one would dare to ignore her at the banquet, and she would not have to rely on writing poems to attract others' attention.

If she had power, no one would cause trouble in her Hengyuanxiang, and no one would dare to covet her rouge formula.

Only power can walk straight in this world.

"Queen Lu."

Gu Yidan called this name silently in his heart, as the lord of the first palace, he controlled the power of the world.

There has never been this moment when she is so eager to have power, and there has never been this moment when she knows the importance of power.

"Grandfather, Your Majesty, how many unmarried princes are there?"

Gu Yidan raised his head slowly, his eyeballs moved, and asked abruptly.

Patriarch Gu looked at his granddaughter, and a smile slowly appeared on his face. This smile gradually became bigger and bigger. In the end, his eyebrows and eyes were all smiles, and he couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Ha ha ha ha."

"My Gu family has hope, and my Gu family has hope again." The head of the Gu family whispered, the more he looked at Gu Yidan, the more satisfied he became.

"Your Majesty is at the peak of his age, and there are more than [-] princes, but the five most powerful princes recognized by the court are all the sons of the empress.

The crown prince Sui, the crown princess is Li Taiwei's eldest granddaughter;

Prince Xuan of Pinglu, the princess is the legitimate daughter of the Lu family of Fan Yang;
Ningjiang Wangman, the concubine is the daughter of the Wang family in Taiyuan.

All three of them already have concubines, and the remaining Linchuan Wang Jin and Wei Sheng Dynasty have not yet married. "

Patriarch Gu explained to Gu Yidan one by one, pouring everything he knew about the kings to her like beans.

"San Niang, what do you think now?"

Two quarters of an hour later, Patriarch Gu looked at Gu Yidan with piercing eyes, with a nervousness that he didn't know.

Gu Yidan frowned in thought, but Patriarch Gu did not urge her. When Gu Yidan raised his head, he looked at her expectantly.

"Grandfather, do you have a way to let your granddaughter meet the Wesheng Dynasty?"

What Gu Yidan said meant that she had already chosen a partner.

Patriarch Gu slapped his palms, and his whole body was full of excitement. No granddaughter's choice was as good as his own vision.

"Grandfather will make arrangements for this matter, but if you meet that King Wei Sheng, what will you do?"

The head of the Gu family was worried that his granddaughter would be young and aggressive, and if she didn't know how to measure, not only would she not be able to find a strong backer for the Gu family, she would even cause trouble for her upper body.

"San Niang will present thirty rouge prescriptions with both hands, hoping to satisfy King Wei Sheng."

Patriarch Gu nodded in satisfaction, his eyes appreciative, and then he frowned slightly, "Didn't you develop a total of 36 kinds of rouge recipes? There are six more?"

"There are six more, and Sanniang is going to take them as a gift to thank the Fifth Lady of the Jiang family for helping today."

For Gu Yidan, the rouge formula is gone, and she has other ideas to make money, but today, Jiang Yuanxi has to repay the kindness of helping her.

Since even Jiang Wuniang came to Hengyuanxiang to buy rouge, then give her the six rouge prescriptions. She is not a white-eyed wolf, and she will remember everything that helped her.

It is difficult to send charcoal in the snow, but it is easy to make icing on the cake. Anyway, Jiang Yuanxi helped her, so she had to express her gratitude.

Hearing this, the head of the Gu family agreed after a moment of pondering. He had already found out Jiang Yuanxi's identity. If his granddaughter could exchange handkerchiefs with Jiang Taifu's granddaughter, it would only be good for the Gu family.
