Gu Qiang came in and had nothing to do. Gusu Liang was still recuperating in the villa, Qingping had been lying upstairs unable to get out of bed, and Shen Qianshan went to Beijiang again. There was no one around him to argue with, so he was a little bored. What's more, if it can disturb the marriage between Shen Zhongbai and the Minister of War, how can there not be a gap between the two people
At lunch time, the business in Lingyin Pavilion gradually became more and more popular. Gu Qiang came down from upstairs, but her ears were not idle. Since this matter was handed over to her brother, he did not refuse. I think this matter will gradually spread in the capital. The diners of Lingyin Pavilion may not be well-informed, but it is better than nothing. If there is nothing to gain, I will have to choose a time to go to Yuhualou.
After Shen Zhongbai found someone to block the door of Lingyin Pavilion, it was obvious that there were fewer officials among the people coming and going, but there were a lot more businessmen, and the information was not very well-informed. Although Gu Qiang was a little disappointed , but he didn’t give up and decided to go to Yuhualou the next day.
"Ali, what's the latest news?"
Every time Gu Qiang came to Yuhua Building, she was used to sitting in the private room, but today, after A Li finished speaking, she was going to sit in the lobby. Sometimes Gu Qiang couldn't explain clearly. What kind of taste do people have? They like to drink in the hall, act ugly, and then pretend to be sanctimonious to go to the morning court the next day.
"Yes, it's about the marriage between Liu Chu, Minister of the Ministry of War, and Princess Yuehua."
Gu Qiang knew that about this kind of thing, Yuhua Tower would get much more information than Lingyin Pavilion. After all, it was a marriage between royal family members. In any case, Liu Chu had to restrain himself a little recently. If he doesn't come, people who usually have fun together will mention it at least a few words.
"The specific situation is not clear yet, but the reason why the Minister of War did not come to Yuhualou seems to be not only because of the marriage, but also because of a wife in the family."
"Ma'am? Nothing else?"
A Li also shook his head helplessly. Even if the girls below had amazing ears, it was not easy to hear these things in a noisy environment. It was clear where and what came from
"Okay, wait a minute and find two girls to be by my side. I'm going to sit in the lobby. Prepare a seat for me next to the person who usually comes here with Liu Chu."
A Li didn't know what Gu Qiang wanted to do now, but he still nodded, "Master, please pay attention to your own safety. Mr. Yang is a little strange sometimes..."
A Li didn't say it clearly, but seeing A Li's expression, Gu Qiang probably knew that Mr. Yang probably had some unknown hobby. A Li was afraid that the person would hurt him, so he reminded himself.
"Master, please come this way."
A Li didn't know what method he used, but he actually moved the table of guests who were sitting next to Yang Xiao to another place. After the seat was vacated, Gu Qiang hugged the two girls and sat down. Sometimes, it is easy to expose one's height. Normally, it is nothing more than an explanation of one's frailty. But when standing next to a woman, one seems too weak and easily exposed.
"Mr. Yang, why don't you see Mr. Liu coming over these days?"
Gu Qiang pricked up his ears and could tell that this was probably arranged by A Li to help him get information. She must not miss this opportunity.
"What, I am not enough for you as an adult? Little one!"
Gu Qiang had seen this Yang Xiao before. He looked like a pedantic old minister in the court, but he didn't expect that when he was in Yuhua Tower, his speech would be so greasy.
"No, look, you already have so many sisters around you. Isn't it enough to serve you? I just haven't seen Mr. Liu these days, so I just thought to myself. If you don't want to, I can leave. Yes."
"Hey, hey, don't go. Mr. Liu can't come recently. Something happened at home. I'm afraid he won't be in the mood to come!"
"What's the matter? The emperor's marriage?"
"How can it be possible? Even if the princess is married, she is just treating him politely, how can she control him? Isn't it because that young concubine, relying on being favored, has been causing trouble in the past few days? !”
This was a big departure from Gu Qiang's original idea. It was just that this concubine was the first to cause a disturbance, which she did not expect.
"What? Just a concubine, Master Liu actually doesn't want us sisters anymore..."
None of the girls in the flower house were captivating. Gu Qiang drank the wine fed by the girl on her side and continued to listen.
"Aren't you ignorant? My stomach is not up to par, which makes the old lady of the Liu family unhappy. Why is she so angry? Naturally, she was scolded as a hen that can't lay eggs. Master Shangshu is afraid that things will make a big fuss, so he didn't do it recently. Came here."
This kind of thing often happens in big families, so Gu Qiang will not be surprised. In the Prime Minister's Mansion, there seemed to be a side wife who had no heirs. In the end, it was not because of the Ye family that she couldn't survive, and Gu Linjiang was also He turned a blind eye and didn't pay attention at all.
Gu Qiang has experienced this kind of thing a lot, and she probably knows it well. Either there is someone in the minister's house who does not want this concubine to give birth to a child, or it is true that this concubine cannot give birth to a child, but no matter what, , this is an opportunity for myself.
As she said, Gu Qiang stayed up late and painted her face to look very ordinary. She took the medicine box that her brother usually used for medical practice and went out to the street. She chose a place not far from Lingyin Pavilion and sat down. Come down.
Although Gu Huaian didn't understand what Gu Qiang was doing, he still sent someone to keep an eye on his sister secretly to prevent her from having any accidents.
Gu Qiang asked Shi Yi to find out the origin of this concubine who was always having a bad temper. She was not a serious girl, but she was a cleaning maid in the Shangshu Mansion. Her name was Su Jin. She was quite pretty, so she offended her. It's just Liu Chu's liking. Speaking of Potian, it's not because of his young age. How can that man resist the temptation of his mother to invite a woman
However, after encountering such a thing, a woman like Su Jin, who came from a background like Su Jin, would not be able to tell the doctor next to her about her troubles. She probably would have to find a doctor on the street to feel relieved.
The sun was too hot, so Gu Qiang found a quiet corner to sit down. As expected, not long after, Su Jin came to the door.
"Is there no one there? Who owns this stall?"
If it were anyone else, they would probably think that the official businessmen found this stall an eyesore, but Gu Qiang was not in a hurry and walked over slowly, "Madam, what's wrong with you?"
Doesn't Su Jin have a heart problem? When the princess wanted to come in, he was already worried. After all, he was able to do whatever he wanted in the Shangshu Mansion because he was young and loved by the master. But this princess How can I still have a good life of my own
There is also an old lady in Liu Shangshu's family. Although she is not young anymore, she is still clear-headed. She has always felt that Su Jin is a villain who wants to succeed, so she has always disliked her, but she can't stand up to her son. I like it. In the past few days, the news that the princess wanted to enter the palace reached the old lady's ears. The old lady became more and more dissatisfied with Su Jin. Sometimes Su Jin went too far, so she took advantage of her because she had no heirs. Things come to blame.
"The folk girls do have prescriptions for getting rid of the fire, but the medicine box can completely solve Madam's worries. I'm afraid it's not just the medicine that can take care of things."
Gu Qiang was trying to be mysterious, but Su Jin was short-sighted, so he was led by Gu Qiang without any suspicion at all.
"How do you know I have a heart problem?"
"Madam's worries are all about her face. However, if she leaves it to a civilian girl, Madam's worries might be alleviated."
Su Jin looked at the woman in front of him. She had an ordinary appearance, but her eyes were sparkling. Such a person would not take away the master's favor from her, but could also make suggestions by her side. It's nothing more than a little money, and it's not like I can't afford it.
This concubine is not stupid. Otherwise, she would not have been able to rise rapidly in the Shangshu Mansion. From a cleaning servant, she directly sat in the seat of the side wife. Although she is still younger than other women in the manor, Yes, but this time the person coming is the princess.
"I am the concubine of the Minister of War. Do you know what will happen if you make arrogant remarks in front of me?"
"Madam, there is no need to worry. Minnu is a medical practitioner and has always been on this street. If Madam has made up her mind, she can come to Minnu."
"Forget it, in that case, I will go back first. If taking these two medicines of yours will help my condition, I will naturally send someone to find you."
Su Jin has been in this Shangshu Mansion for more than half a year, and the master has always been very fond of him. Although he was born in a poor family and was just a cleaning maid, he couldn't stand this man. He just liked him and the people in his house at a young age. When the old woman compares them, her advantages become obvious.
But once the princess comes, she will no longer be the only young woman in the Shangshu's house. Will the master still bear his temper and come
Sure enough, not long after, the little maid next to Su Jin came over secretly and asked Gu Qiang to come over.
Gu Huaian didn't know what was going on, and didn't know the origin of the little girl, so he almost sent someone to stop her. However, seeing that his sister was confident, he didn't act rashly. He just asked Eleven to follow closely and don't let Gu Huaian Something went wrong.
After all, Su Jin came from a lowly background, and he just listened to and believed some things. He didn't believe in this famous doctor in the capital, but he went to the streets to look for it by himself. When he brought back a little girl of unknown origin, the old lady was even more upset. It doesn't look pleasing to the eye.
