There was an experience of being almost late once, but Gu Ye was no longer late, and he entered the Wenhua Hall every day before Emperor Zhengyuan came to check the post.
This Master Tianwen came earlier than him, and the two immediately met head-to-head and talked.
Later, when Emperor Zheng Yuan came over, he heard Gu Yezheng exclaiming: "Uncle's great literary talent, I knew I had a good idea in front of me, that is the most exciting part of "The Mourning Story" - it's you who sings my spicy hot pot written!"
Of course, Gu Ye's level of white Ding definitely can't tell which paragraph in "The Merry" was written by Mr. Wen.
I just heard his mother say it in private, saying that the few words about the spicy hot pot are so real, it is as if the person who wrote this aria not only ate it, but also liked it very much.
Later, he heard Emperor Zhengyuan mention it again, saying that he initiated the Hanlin scholar to write the playbook, and also offered to let Master Wen be Mr. Gu Ye, obviously he still valued Master Wen a little.
After contacting back and forth, Gu Ye naturally guessed it.
Master Wen is an introverted person, but he couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth when he heard this.
"His Royal Highness is very polite, the lower official does not dare to be called 'uncle' from His Highness."
Gu Ye nodded with a smile: "You're doing it for my own good, I'll save it, but in private, I still like to call you like before."
Mr. Wen was coaxed into a smile on his face, and said, "If your Highness thinks it's okay, then I will continue..."
Before he finished speaking, Master Wen immediately got up and saluted when he saw Emperor Zhengyuan coming.
Emperor Zhengyuan entered the hall and asked him to excuse himself from the ceremony, and asked, "It depends on what you were discussing yesterday. What are you planning?"
Gu Ye explained: "It's not a big deal, I'm thinking of a new play, please help Mr. Xiaowen to polish the pen."
Emperor Zhengyuan was stunned.
The dignified Hanlin bachelor, and now the prince's husband, was the last time he was the emperor who could only drive Master Dongwen and others.
Although Gu Ye was the prince, he had already worshipped Master Wen as his teacher yesterday. Master Wen didn't need to listen to the students.
Gu Ye smiled and said, "Master Wen knows that I am filial. Both grandmas love to watch dramas, so I wrote this for them."
Well, it turned out to be the same reason that Emperor Zhengyuan used before.
This is the first time that this reason can deceive people. Later, Jixiang Theater and Shiweitian made a lot of money because of this show, but no one will believe that this show is just for honoring their elders.
But since Master Wen was willing to write for him, Emperor Zhengyuan didn't say anything.
But later in private, Emperor Zhengyuan still muttered to Gu Ye, "Didn't you just ask me to help you think about it? Why did you discuss it directly with Lord Xiaowen this time?"
Gu Yexin said, this is called direct connection without middlemen making the difference, his mother taught it before.
Although Emperor Zhengyuan was not a middleman, since he knew who the playbook came from, he could naturally omit the middle step.
Of course he couldn't say this, Gu Ye frowned and said, "I didn't know your identity before, so I'll trouble you for this trivial matter. Now I know you're so busy - recently, I've been to court every day, and it's half the morning. Unfinished documents."
As he said that, he held his forehead again and sighed again, "If I advise you to rest, you won't listen to me, it's worrying me to death."
Emperor Zhengyuan laughed, "How come you have more expressions than people singing. It's really impossible for people to take you!"
Gu Ye also laughed and asked, "Since you asked, can I take up a little of your time and talk about the content of the playbook?"
Emperor Zhengyuan was indeed busy, but no matter how busy he was, he still had to eat, so he used the time to eat Chaoshi to chat with him slowly.
…
When Gu Yin arrived at Qingshi Yashe that day, Mrs. Lu and others had already arrived.
Instead of talking and laughing as usual, everyone was talking in a low voice.
As soon as she came up, everyone stopped talking.
Gu Yin noticed it, thinking that it was mostly a private matter, so she said, "I made a new dessert, called double skin milk. The method is similar to Jiang Zhuang milk, but the taste is slightly different. Please try it."
At the beginning of the opening of Qingshi Yashe, there were many new things, and Gu Yin often introduced new things from time to time.
But whether it is new or used, there is a guarantee of quality.
Even the guling paste, which was unacceptable in its appearance when it opened, after Mrs. Wen Er and others tried it with the mentality of trying, they all realized the function of nourishing yin and reducing dryness that Gu Yin said, and they liked it very much. Eat a cup every day.
And every time a new product is launched, Gu Yin will invite everyone to taste it. If they give opinions according to their own tastes, then when they order again next time, Gu Yin will carefully adjust them according to personal tastes.
Get along so well, there is no need to hide from her because of a little thing, and have a quarrel.
So Mrs. Lu looked at a few handkerchiefs and waved her over.
"There has been a rumor in the past two days. It's been rumored in the streets and alleys." Madam Lu said, "It's about the Duke of Lu's mansion and your family."
Gu Yin does not hold her identity when she walks out, but the female guests of Yashe are either rich or expensive. They often meet here, and they will definitely inquire about the specific identity of the host, and Gu Yin did not deliberately hide it, so everyone naturally knew.
Gu Yin said sternly, "Madam, please speak."
Mrs. Lu continued: "There are rumors outside that before Mrs. Lu Guogong joined the army as a cook, she was an orphan without a parent and mother. She was also bought into a juggling team and made a living by entertaining people. It is also rumored that this news Yes... it was released by your family."
Gu Yin was stunned, Madam Lu carefully looked at her face, seeing that she was really just knowing, she exhaled and said: "We naturally believe that you are not that kind of person, usually everyone drinks wine, and their words and deeds are unremarkable. If you really are such a person, the outside world would not know what to say about us."
Gu Yin frowned and said, "My family does have some disagreements with the mansion of the Duke of Lu, but I won't do such a dirty thing. And how do outsiders know about this kind of thing? How can I say that it is the news that my family released. ?"
Mrs. Lu explained to her again: "It was said that Mrs. Lu Guogong went to Banyue An two days ago to pray for blessings, and your old lady also went to the nunnery that day."
Having said that, Gu Yin understood.
In Gu Yin's eyes, this past is nothing, and when she knows it, she can only sigh that Chen's fate has been ill-fated. But Mrs. Chen has now become the wife of the Duke of Lu. In the eyes of the wealthy, these are disgraceful things. Chen's is for his son, and he will not mention those to others. But people will naturally not hide in front of gods and Buddhas, and they will definitely explain everything.
Her mother-in-law went to pray for blessings on the same day as her, and rumors spread immediately afterward. It was indeed a coincidence.
"I understand my mother's personality. Even if she hears anything, she won't say anything. When she went to pray that day and met Mrs. Lu Guogong, she didn't mention it when she got home, let alone spread what she heard. The whole capital. Thank you for reminding everyone, I will go check this matter carefully."
This matter is really troublesome. If we don't get to the bottom of it, it will naturally lead to a deeper hatred with the Duke of Lu. It's not that they are afraid of the Duke of Lu. It's just that there is no need to take the blame. Second, Mrs. Lu I have a good relationship with her in this way, and I am naturally willing to trust her, but what about other people
If you really want to make people feel that they are the kind of people who talk nonsense, who dares to talk and chat in the food for the sky
After thanking her, Gu Yin went downstairs to make the dessert.
In the afternoon, Gu Yin stopped work ahead of schedule for this matter and went home.
She first told Wang the ins and outs, and Wang knew that she was wronged.
"I really want to have that kind of heart. I'm also going for that old goddess. What should I do to embarrass her daughter-in-law? I have a good impression of her daughter-in-law's gentleness and tenderness. I recognized her that day and watched her a few steps. There are still maids and servants standing outside, I am afraid that the old goddess knows that I have talked to her and scolded her, and left immediately without saying anything."
Gu Yin handed the tea cup to her hand, "Don't worry, mother, I know your character, I'm not blaming you, I'm just asking about your situation at the time. Apart from you, Mrs. Lu Guo's wife could have been praying for blessings. Did anyone else hear her?"
Mrs Wang took a sip of tea and recalled carefully: "It was a bad day, if it wasn't for the fact that we owed Miss Shen in front of our family, I would not have left the city in that weather. There were very few people in the nunnery that day, and it was inside at that time. Apart from me, the little nun from Banyue Nunnery, and the servants of the Duke of Lu, but they are not close."
The more Wang Shi said, the quieter she became. If she hadn't done it, she would have felt suspicious.
She regretted: "I knew that such a thing would happen, and as soon as I recognized her, I left immediately. I shouldn't have listened to it any more. Alas, although I was close at the time, she would have said when she prayed to the gods and Buddhas. It's very quiet, similar to raving, and it's the most private thing in people. How could I listen carefully and inquire? I only listened to one ear about being kidnapped, the wharf, the juggling class, etc. After that, I consciously didn't listen to it. , I only sighed in my heart that she was pitiful. If I had known this, I should have…”
"Mother, wait!" Gu Yin suddenly interrupted Wang's words: "What abduction, what port?"
Wang Shi was a little stunned by his drink, and asked calmly, "What's the matter? It's what she said. I only heard these words."
Gu Yin walked around the house several times, and after calming down, she said, "Mother, do you still remember Uncle Ge and Aunt Ge?"
"Why don't you remember? We've only left town for half a year, isn't it when we set up a stall on the wharf..." Having said that, Mrs Wang stood up, "You mean..."
Gu Yin nodded, "Although I know it's unlikely, there is also a saying that nothing happens without a coincidence. Our Ono is still the child that Qingyi was looking for. Such coincidences have really happened. So I think it's possible. !"
The old couple of the Ge family are far away in Hanshan Town, so there is no way to verify it, and if they are only in the conjecture stage, they will ask about it. He was afraid that he would give the old man false hope in the end, especially Uncle Ge who had worked hard at the dock for all these years, and his health was not very good.
The quickest and most convenient way, of course, is to ask the Chen family directly, to see how much she remembers about her childhood, and whether she can match the number with the Ge family.
But the rumors have come out, and it's not an exaggeration to say that the relationship between the two is now in a state of flux, and I don't know if Chen's is also misunderstood. And even if she didn't misunderstand, this stall must have been locked up by the Qin family, and she would not be released from the house.
How can I get in touch with Chen
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were worried when Gu Ye ran into the mansion from outside, shouting, "Feng Yu, don't deceive people too much!"
In the blink of an eye, Feng Yu chased after him aggressively, "If your family dares to make up such rumors, I won't teach you that you are not worthy of being a son of man."
The two made a lot of noise at the door, and the concierge rushed to pass the message.
Gu Yin and Wang hurried out, Gu Ye had already run in, and Feng Yu was chasing after him.
The servants in the mansion surrounded him, but although Feng Yu was young, his martial arts skills were not low, and he knew from the clothes that he had a prominent family background, so the servants did not dare to do anything, but only dared to stop him.
"Misunderstanding!" Wang hurriedly rushed over to block Gu Ye.
This is what she caused. If the eldest grandson is beaten, it will make her feel more uncomfortable than hitting her directly.
However, Wang's expectation that Feng Yu's fight didn't happen, Feng Yu didn't move, Gu Ye urged his servants: "What are you doing standing there stupidly? Go and close the door of our house!"
The servants were as bewildered as Mr. Wang, and still did as he said.
Gu Ye then pulled Wang Shi and whispered in her ear, "Don't worry, it's fake, we don't want to fight."
More than a quarter of an hour ago, Gu Ye came out of the palace early, thinking of putting the playbook in Shiweitian, he didn't know if Feng Yu came to pick it up.
Passing Taibai Street, he asked the driver to stop, and he got out of the car.
After asking the shopkeeper Zhou, Gu Ye learned that Feng Yu had never come back, and he felt a little strange, but he didn't think much about it.
Then he left the restaurant again and met Feng Yu head-on.
Feng Yu stood in a dilemma at the intersection of Taibai Street.
The rumors from the outside have already spread to the Duke of Lu's mansion, and his grandmother Qin clenched her teeth angrily, and at first she had to send the servants to the mansion.
But Qin Shi calmed down later, thinking that only she and Feng Yuan knew about Chen Shi's life experience, not even Feng Yu, let alone other servants.
The rumors from the back and forth became more and more nose and eyes, and it was also said that it was released by people from the British government.
Mrs. Qin cross-examined the servants who followed Mrs. Chen to pray that day, and learned that when Mrs. Chen was praying, there was indeed a middle-aged woman who was not dressed like ordinary people.
As soon as Qin Shi described Wang Shi's appearance, the servant girl naturally said that it was him.
Qin Shi hated his teeth, pointed at Chen Shi and scolded her for a long time, and then locked her in the small yard, making her face the wall and think.
Although Feng Yu was not implicated, it was more uncomfortable for his mother to be punished than to punish him.
If he didn't know the people in the British government, he would naturally have a grudge at this time, but he and Gu Ye are considered to have some friendship, especially Gu Ye's remarks about making friends regardless of their background, which surprised him. like.
Would a family who can raise such a child really do something like that
Feng Yu was very suspicious, so he came here.
He was hesitating when Gu Ye trotted over to say hello, saying that you came just in time, "I'm writing a new play, my mother said that I can do a pre-sale, and I'm going to send two pre-sale tickets to your family."
Feng Yu looked at his heartless smile with a solemn expression.
Gu Ye stopped laughing and tentatively asked what happened
Only then did Feng Yu say: "The rumors in the past two days..."
Gu Ye was even more stunned, "I started studying recently, and I study hard every day. I haven't been around outside for several days."
Feng Yu said it was over, and turned to leave, but Gu Ye held him back, "Why do you leave halfway through? What are the rumors about our family?"
"Do you know my identity?" Feng Yu was surprised at first, but then he thought about it, Gu Ye knew it, but he was willing to be with him, so informal and open-minded. Even more doubts about the veracity of the rumors.
That gossip can be found out by just inquiring, so Feng Yu told him in a few words.
Gu Ye had the same reaction as his mother, and immediately said it was impossible, "My mother is not that kind of person."
After speaking, he scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "My mother is not a person with exquisite thoughts, and she won't shout loudly when the gods and Buddhas congratulate? Maybe she didn't hear clearly at the time. But I'll tell you about this matter. It doesn't count, you go back with me, and we will confront each other."
Don't look at Gu Ye's love to write about misunderstandings and entanglements in the play, in fact, he was influenced by Gu Yin, and he also has a straight side in his temperament.
"This is not good." Feng Yu was still hesitant, and if he came to the door to ask for something to say, that would be to tear his face.
Gu Ye said that there was nothing wrong, "It's definitely not what my family did, it's just a misunderstanding. I didn't do anything wrong. My family is not afraid of confrontation. What are you afraid of?"
Feng Yu said again: "As soon as this rumor came out, my grandmother already hated your house, and she must have sent someone to monitor your neighborhood. It's not good for me to come to the door rashly."
He was not afraid of being punished, but worried about his mother.
He grew up in the barracks, where the Chen family was quite popular, so he found Mr. Wenwu for him. He was really smart, and he made rapid progress in everything he learned. But since the opening of the Mansion of the Duke of Lu, the Qin family still thinks that the Chen family has not raised him well, and no longer allows the Chen family to intervene in Feng Yu's education.
And whenever Feng Yu dared to disobey the Qin family, it would attract more dissatisfaction and sparring from the Qin family to the Chen family.
Feng Yu became cautious and cautious, thinking of his mother first in every case.
Gu Ye thought for a while and came up with an idea. Then Feng Yu pretended to be a mother to hold injustice and chased after him.
After listening to what happened, Wang Shi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Gu Ye went to see his mother again, and when he came to Gu Yin's side, he said resentfully, "I still know that my mother is in front of me, so my mother just looks at me like that."
Gu Yin said with a good laugh: "I heard from the concierge that someone was chasing you, I was a little worried, but I saw that you all ran into the house, and it was Young Master Feng who was chasing you. The son is so full of praise, if he is really someone who will do it without distinction, how can you like him so much?"
After speaking, Gu Yin lowered her voice and said, "I know there must be guards by your side, but you don't usually show your face."
Gu Ye laughed again, "My mother still understands me."
Gu Yin nodded at him with a smile, and asked Feng Yu to speak in the main hall.
After they left, Song Shiliu, who followed them, didn't move. She looked at the crowd with her hands on her hips, and said with a stern face, "You all know what happened today, so what should you say?"
Although the servants in the mansion are all from the original palace, they have undergone blood changes again and again, and now the ones left are honest.
Song Shiliu followed Wang's housekeeper, and they all knew that she was the most useful person around Wang's side, and her words were equivalent to the words of the master.
So someone immediately said: "I know, Young Master Feng chased and beat our young master, chased him to our house, and let our old lady and wife detain him!"
Song Shiliu nodded with satisfaction and let everyone do other work.
In the main hall, Gu Yin asked the maid to bring tea to Feng Yu, and then screened the others, and then explained: "My mother was indeed there when Lingtang went to the nunnery. But she only heard a few words at the time and came back. Later, even the family mentioned it, let alone go out and spread rumors. But it is not listed first, I have more important things to tell you. "
Gu Yin immediately talked about the old couple of the Ge family.
Feng Yu heard her say that the old couple of the Ge family thought that their abducted daughter might come back to them, so they have been stalling at the pier for all these years. Still waiting, waiting...
He was young in the end, and although he wasn't sure if the other party was his grandfather, he still had red eyes.
Gu Ye sat next to him and didn't persuade him, he just reached out and patted his shoulder.
"Young Master Feng, can you hear Lingtang mention the past? Does she still have any impressions?"
Feng Yu turned his back and wiped his eyes, then said, "Mother didn't mention it, she just said that she was separated from her parents during the war, so I don't have a family."
He couldn't help frowning as he said that, of course he could have gone back and asked Chen shi directly before, but now that Chen shi is grounded, other than the people around Qin shi who bring food and drink in, no one else can see her again.
Gu Yin guessed something by looking at his face.
Just as Song Shiliu came in, he walked over to Gu Yin and Mrs. Wang, and whispered, "Don't worry, old lady and madam, the slaves have already finished training the others, they will not go out and talk nonsense, they will only say that Young Master Feng is Chase and beat our young master, and then let our family detain him."
Wang shi glanced at Song Shiliu with admiration, Gu Yin's eyes lit up, and she smiled, "Good pomegranate, I have to trouble you for a trip."
Song Shiliu patted her chest and said, "Madam, please tell me."
The other people in the room didn't know why, and heard Gu Yin continue: "Feng Xiaogong is too deceiving, and he beat my son like this, do you still want to play around like a child and let it go? Go and invite his adults to come and tell the difference! "
Song Shiliu thought about it and asked, "Like our generals, Duke Lu should still be on duty, right? The slaves will be here later?"
Gu Yin gave her a look of "Are you stupid?" "But before he goes home, you have to go and return as soon as possible. Remember to be angry and ask them to come immediately. If it's too late, Young Master Feng will be there. Our family suffers!"
Song Shiliu still didn't quite understand it, but it didn't matter if she didn't. Anyway, she must be right to hear her wife's words. She hurriedly said, "Hey," she immediately asked for a car, and left the house in the blink of an eye.
"Thank you madam." Feng Yu got up and bowed.
Feng Yuan and Wu Qingyi were not at home, and only the Qin family was in charge of the Duke of Lu's mansion. She was still claiming to be ill, and she had an excellent face. This kind of shameless work, she naturally asked her daughter-in-law, who was not welcome by her, to come.
Not long after, Wu An came back from school. He also left school early today and was about to take a break when he got home. Gu Yin caught the strong man and asked him to draw a portrait according to the old couple of the Ge family in his memory.
Wu An has been learning painting for a short time, and he has not been influenced by the current style of pursuing imagery rather than realism. He does not use brushes, only charcoal, and the portraits he draws are closer to modern sketches.
After the portrait was painted, Mrs. Chen also went to the British government.
She was really embarrassed. When the rumors spread, she didn't think it was something that the British government would do - their mother and son and Gu Yin's mother and son had dealt with each other, and they had a good impression of them.
Although Qin Shi said that when she was in the nunnery that day, the middle-aged woman next to her was Wang Shi.
But when she congratulated, Mrs Wang also closed her eyes reverently and said something in her mouth.
The two of them were doing it at the same time, even if Wang shi really has that ability, she does two things with one heart, and hears her whispering in her ears without a word, she doesn't seem like that kind of person - she looked at her eyes when she was leaving, tender and caring. , like elders looking at their younger generation. At least Qin Shi had never seen her like this.
Hearing that Feng Yu beat up other people's children and was detained, Chen became more and more embarrassed. After he came, he first apologized to Feng Yu, saying that he was not disciplined.
But later, he looked at Feng Yu and Gu Yetou talking beside him. He didn't seem to be in a bad relationship, and he was confused for a while.
Gu Yin asked her to close the door and said, "It happened suddenly, and it was an expedient way to invite the lady to come over. Take a look at this portrait first."
The sketches were handed to Chen Shi. The couples in the portraits were all in their fifties and sixties, with faces full of wind and frost, and very kind-hearted.
This is not the person Chen's impression knows, but it is an indescribable sense of familiarity.
"Nah?" Gu Yin called her tentatively.
