194: Pointing at the monk and scolding the bald donkey(1/2)
I spent some time running around today and then a little more energy. Gu Qingyi felt a little tired. After getting on the bed, she almost dripped her pillow and fell asleep.
On the other hand, Gu's mother was worried and couldn't fall asleep when she remembered her daughter's words. She waited until late at night before she met her husband.
Gu Jun didn't expect his wife to be waiting, and said in surprise: "Why haven't you slept yet? It's so late? Didn't you say don't wait for me?"
After greeting her husband in, Gu's mother said, "I have something to tell you, I'm so worried."
"What's the matter?" Gu Jun thought his wife had encountered something difficult. Could it be because of the Li family in Anding County?
There is nothing to worry about.
Gu's mother pulled her husband down and said to him the mother and daughter at night.
Gu Jun looked at his wife and said, "I didn't expect you and Qingqing to guess it. Today's aide asked me to discuss matters, and he also learned that the spy of the King of Qi had appeared in Bingzhou. In this way, things will be right."
Gu's mother said angrily: "Is the Luo family really involved?"
Gu Jun looked at his wife and nodded for a while.
The breath that Gu's mother was holding her hard could not relax, and her eyes were slightly red.
In front of her daughter, she deliberately showed no concern for the Luo family, but she might not have hoped that the Luo family would not do this.
But she was obviously disappointed.
Gu Jun patted his wife's hand, "If there is a letter from the Luo family or someone comes to Bingzhou, you should be more cautious."
"What else are they doing? Since I did this, the Luo family and I broke up. Back then, they pushed me to marry you, but I didn't blame them. Later, if they were not the emperor's uncle in Qingqing Uighur Province, they might have made some bad ideas. Fortunately, Qingqing had nothing to do and I also swallowed it. If they thought I had a relationship with the Luo family this time, it would be a big mistake."
Gu's mother has always been gentle in her husband and children, but this time she was so angry that she covered her face and burst into tears.
It’s also a blessing that the couple has a good relationship. If it weren’t the case, did the Luo family ever wonder how difficult it would be for her life in the Gu family?
Yes, if they had a heartfelt person, how could they have pushed her out back then?
Gu Jun held his wife's shoulder and comforted her softly: "Don't be sad, don't take them to heart."
Gu's mother nodded fiercely, "I don't plan to announce the good news to the Luo family this time my son gets married."
Gu Jun knew that Gu's mother was angry, and thought for a while and said, "If you do this, it will be bad for your reputation if it is spread. After all, we have no real evidence for what the Luo family has done, and it is difficult to get someone to take the blame. We still need to report the good news. Whether they come or not is their business. If they really come, you can be treated as an ordinary relative."
"I was originally an ordinary relative. I was from the Luo family's side branch. How could these legitimate people treat me as a serious tribe?" Gu's mother slowed down her anger and slowly calmed down. "You are right. You can't let you and the children be criticized. Why don't you give me? They come to congratulate you and send me a gift. I want to see what gift the Luo family will give to their son this time!"
Gu Jun knew that his wife was really disappointed with Luo, and was afraid that she would continue to be annoyed and hurt her body, so he whispered: "I am old and don't fight the fatigue. I'm really busy every day."
As expected, Gu's mother immediately became worried about her husband and said, "Hurry up and wash up, I'll send water in."
Gu's mother hurried out, and the smile on her father's face was then closed. Luo family... Humph, the only good thing they did was probably marrying his wife to him.
Gu Qingyi slept until midnight. When she woke up, the sun was getting hot and she was so busy getting up to change her clothes.
I was so tired yesterday that I overslept.
"My lady said that I will not be allowed to teach you, so I will let you get up and go to the main courtyard to eat food." Mianchun said with a smile.
Gu Qingyi held his forehead, "It's been so late, it's too late to eat."
"The Lord of the Lang went to the front hall to discuss matters early in the morning. The young man also rushed back this morning. The lady said she would leave food for the girl."
Gu Qingyi happily packed up and went to the main courtyard. She happened to see her elder brother walking out and hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.
Gu Yishu looked at her sister and looked at her slightly green at the moment, and said, "You are also caring about your health. I think it is right to let you live in Jinyang for a few more days. You have worked so hard in Yuzhou."
Gu Qingyi has been busy explaining the arrangements for the matters in the past few days. She stayed up late last night and was naturally not in good spirits. Knowing that my brother was worried about her, he hurriedly promised, "Don't worry, I must eat and sleep soundly and keep my body well."
I ate and slept soundly, wouldn’t that be a pig?
Holding back the laughter, Gu Yishu nodded seriously, "That's right to think about it. Go quickly to use the food in the front hall. I'll do other things when I come back."
Gu Qingyi waved his hand quickly, "You go quickly."
After arriving in Jinyang, my father and brother had a lot of government affairs, which made me feel like a rank of officials at home.
As the governor, the top military and political leader, the governor was not a permanent member of the same place. He mainly went to assassinate various places to investigate military affairs and officials, so he was not often appointed. After the late emperor abolished the censors of the counties, he divided the country into thirteen ministries, and each ministries first established one governor.
At first, the position of governor played a positive role in maintaining imperial power and clarifying the administration of officials.
However, as the late emperor further expanded the power of the governor and changed from an inspector to a local military chief executive, the governor firmly held the military and political power in his hands.
The late emperor was able to control it in fashion, but after the death of the late emperor, the governors in various places were different, colluded with local gentry, or had close contacts with various feudal countries, so the young emperor had long lost control of the governor.
As for why the emperor's uncle didn't care, Gu Qingyi dared not make arbitrary decision now, but when he thought of Song Fengyu's character, there must be a reason here.
The military power and regime in Bingzhou were all in Gu's hands. In this way, Bingzhou officials were appointed and removed, military establishment and recruitment, and various civil affairs were naturally decided by him.
However, this premise is that the aristocrats entrenched in Bingzhou for generations must be willing to cooperate. If they refuse to cooperate, the implementation of various decrees will inevitably be greatly hindered.
Just looking at Gu’s father’s busyness, you know that although King Zhao ran away, the mess he left behind was difficult to clean up.
Bingzhou was originally a strategic important place to rush to the front line. The local aristocrats in Bingzhou were very good at fighting. Each family raised only a few troops, and there were fields and troops under their names, so it was not easy to move them.
Gu Jun manages Bingzhou just like a little emperor who controls the world. Officials from all over the world do not obey the government orders, and the little emperor has no choice.
Bingzhou was originally the former fief of the Gu family, but it was later forced by the late emperor to take it back to the court, but the aristocrats entrenched in Bingzhou had a very complicated impression of the Gu family.
Even if Gu Qingyi doesn’t understand these political matters very well, can she still not find the feeling?
For example, the person who was in charge of the family was originally a wife, but the wife was disgusted by the husband's master and promoted her concubine to the housekeeper.
The original manager in the mansion was originally mentioned by the wife, but when the wife regained power, these managers would be very embarrassed.
After all, he had been loyal to his concubine, and that concubine was a brainless idiot. These managers had a lot of money and all their wealth became rich. When his wife regained power and took over the family again, the managers' minds were no longer as loyal and simple as they used to be.
I have money and soldiers in my hands, so of course I want to talk to my old master about the conditions.
Now Gu’s father is facing this kind of situation. How to discuss these conditions directly affects the Gu family’s status in Bingzhou.
Gu Qingyi can't play these things, but she can be the strongest support. In the face of troubled times, of course, whoever has the strong fist can control the right to speak.
Can she directly enhance the military and civilian livelihood power of her father and brother?
The food was simple, with a bowl of Hu cakes and two side dishes. Gu Qingyi was so delicious that he wanted to live in Jinyang for a few months, so he directly discussed with his mother, "Call the chef from Huzhou."
Gu's mother looked at her daughter and was amused and crying, "How could I give birth to you such a sly-mouthed person?"
There is no way, those who have enjoyed the summary of the five thousand years of food in the future of Greater China have been nurtured by the food in various places. If conditions permit, they really cannot be content with being ordinary.
"I know my mother loves me the most." Gu Qingyi acted coquettishly.
Gu's mother nodded with a smile, "I'll ask someone to go to Yuzhou to deliver a message in the morning. If it's soon, it will be here tomorrow."
Gu Qingyi nodded quickly, "Is there anything wrong in the mansion today?"
When Gu's mother heard this, she looked at her daughter, "Do you have any arrangements?"
Gu Qingyi smiled big, "Mother, I want to go on the street."
Gu's mother looked at her daughter, "Which lady from a family runs out like you all day long. If it spreads out, it will be of bad reputation to you."
"What are you afraid of? I've made a marriage, someone has married me."
Gu’s mother was speechless. Thinking about it, the emperor’s uncle was recuperating from the wounded in Yuzhou before, and I think he could see how true his daughter was. If she didn’t even withdraw from the bride, wouldn’t she mind?
Thinking of this, Gu's mother became calm. She only lived a comfortable life when she was in the boudoir, but she would not be so comfortable when she got married.
"Go, go, bring the song." Jinyang is not that safe, Gu's mother is still very worried.
"It's okay, I'll go out in men's clothes."
Gu’s mother:…
Forget it, just be happy for the child.
"Then you have to bring a few people."
"I understand." Gu Qingyi ran out happily to change her clothes. She planned to explore the situation in Jinyang on the spot. In addition to preparing for the wedding, she was also very interested in the situation in Jinyang herself.
Gu Qingyi was wearing an inconspicuous light gray silver-edged top and calfskin boots on her feet. She made these boots by Zhong Zizhen. They were light and breathable, making them very comfortable to walk on horseback.
I went out with Mianchun and Xia with two other troops. Jinyang is a big city. The streets in the city are wide and the people are busy. The shops on both sides of the street are prosperous and look good.
The more prosperous a city is, it can attract more people to do business. As the center of Bingzhou, it is really far worse than Huikang. Especially some time ago, when Hu Hu was invading the mirror and drove straight into Yangqu, Jinyang almost fell into war, and there were still some impacts.
It is common for ox carts to travel on the street, but it is rare for riding horses. Gu Qingyi and his party attracted a lot of attention.
Nowadays, wars are frequent, and most of the horses are conquered in the army. In addition, ox carts are popular in the Jin Dynasty for many years. The royal relatives and nobles are proud to ride ox carts when they go out, so ox carts can be seen everywhere, whether it is Huikang or Bingzhou.
However, the standard of the ox cart will be different based on family background and identity.
After thinking about it, Gu Qingyi simply got off the horse and asked the team to place the horse first, while he took the two girls and walked slowly.
As soon as I turned the corner, I heard a sharp shout, "Get out of the way, get out of the way!"
With the shouts and the whip that followed, passers-by avoided them, and the children were so scared that they cried in the street.
Gu Qingyi looked up and saw a long-eaves ox cart rushing towards the lacquered beam.
"Do not to escape, the Fan family's ox cart would not be able to be offended at that time." An old woman behind Gu Qingyi hurriedly hugged her grandson in her arms, her mouth was so scared that she was still white.
Gu Qingyi thought about it and looked at the old woman and asked, "Grandma, are you talking about Fan of Taiyuan?"
The old woman looked up alert when she heard this. When she saw that she was a handsome and beautiful young man, her expression slowed down, "Young man is afraid that you are not from Jinyang, otherwise why wouldn't you know about Fan?"
Gu Qingyi clasped her fists and said with a smile: "You are always wise and wise. You can see this. I am here to visit relatives in Jinyang."
