It was only then that Gu Shubai realized that he should have come to "invoke the teacher to inquire about the crime".
He quickly straightened his face, looked at Yu Fu seriously, with an inquisitive look in his eyes.
"Just now when I passed the small gate in the backyard, I happened to hear Yao Lan and Yao Hong talking. In order to intimidate Yao Hong, she revealed your true identity. If she hadn't said it, I really would not have thought that you would hide it like this us."
Yu Fu suddenly opened his eyes wide.
"No wonder Yaolan's expression just now, how did she go out? I told her clearly..."
wrong.
Yu Fu suddenly covered his small mouth, frowned suspiciously and looked at Gu Shubai.
Even though her startled and suspicious look was very cute, he still tried not to let himself laugh, and kept looking at Yufu seriously.
"Big brother lied to me last time. He knew the fifth brother and sixth brother were here, and asked me what their names meant. Did big brother cheat me again this time?"
Impressive!
Gu Shubai raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect her to be so smart, she gained a lot of wisdom after being stunned.
"Yaolan didn't say it directly, but she told Yaohong that your status is more noble than ours, and only Princess Danyang can match. Since you entered the mansion, we only know that you are the apprentice of the God of Medicine, as for your original status. I don't know."
The little girl Yaolan really got into trouble for her!
Yu Fu gritted his teeth, thinking that now is not the time to blame Yao Lan, the most urgent thing is to stabilize Gu Shubai.
"Big brother, everyone has secrets, don't you?"
She looked at Gu Shubai pitifully, she really had something to hide, and Gu Shubai was taken aback.
secret
Maybe, maybe there is...
He looked at Yufu, with a small head and small lips, and a small silver bell on the head of a small flower bud.
The secret in his heart is also so small.
"Is this your secret, a secret that even I can't tell?"
Yu Fu hesitated for a moment, and finally bit his lip and nodded, "Big brother, I don't want the general to declare that I am his illegitimate daughter, not only because of the master, but also because of this secret. Do you believe me? Do you believe me?" Will I not harm you?"
Gu Shubai touched her little head and gave her a reassuring smile.
"No one will suspect that you want to harm us. If you don't want to say it, I will pretend I didn't hear it today. This is your little secret, and the big brother will guard it for you."
Not only did he not pursue further questions, but he also said that he would keep a secret for himself.
Yu Fu blinked his eyes, his eye sockets were a little moist, and looked at Gu Shubai with an increasingly dependent expression.
"Thank you big brother."
She said softly, and then threw herself into his arms, holding on to his clothes tightly with her small hands, reluctant to let go for a long while.
…
After the Dragon Boat Festival banquet, the courtiers found that they had one more reason to be close to Lord Gu.
That is Yufu.
As long as it was about Yufu, Gu Houye would always listen to a few more words, especially ministers with daughters in their families, who had a big advantage over ministers without daughters in this respect.
"Master Hou, you don't have a wife in your house, not even an aunt who can preside over the inner house. This is not conducive to the growth of a young lady! After all, she is a daughter's family, and it must be inconvenient not to have a mistress to take care of her."
After the morning court, all the ministers surrounded Gu Huaijiang outside the Golden Palace, talking in a hurry.
Gu Huaijiang rarely found a reason to leave.
"This Marquis has lived alone for so many years, and he has six sons and Yu Fu under his knees. He doesn't want to marry another wife, and he has no plans to take a concubine."
He stroked his beard and said this sentence slowly, which made the person who spoke before feel a little discouraged.
It seems that Master Gu's love for Yufu is nothing more than that, he is not even willing to take a concubine to take care of her.
"but… "
Everyone pricked up their ears again, listening to what he said next.
"My lords also have daughters in their families. It would be great if you could tell me some experience in raising my daughter and let me learn from it."
what? What
Master Gu wants to raise his daughter himself? !
Everyone was surprised at first, but the minister who had a woman at home reacted first and raised his hand to answer the question.
Someone said: "Master Hou, my daughter's family needs to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, as well as spinning and needlework. These homework must not be left behind. You have to order someone to teach Miss Yufu. There is a very exquisite embroidery lady in the lower official's family. Recommended How about giving it to Lord Hou?"
Gu Huaijiang thought about it, these labors are extremely troublesome, and he doesn't know if Yufu loves to learn or not.
It's better to go back to the mansion to ask her opinion, and then talk about finding the embroiderer and the master.
"Benhou made a note. If Yufu likes it, I will send someone to your house to invite someone without hesitation."
"Okay, okay, Lord Hou, don't be polite!"
The man with the embroidered mother at home lowered his head happily, thinking that he would have the hope of getting into Guhou's mansion this time, and finally he would be a great success!
Another person said: "Master Hou, the body of a daughter's family is different from that of a man's family. The girls in my family have to drink one or two bird's nests a day! Master Hou also needs to prepare some bird's nest donkey-hide gelatin for Miss Yufu. I have some at home. The good donkey-hide gelatin sold by Beili, if Hou Ye doesn't dislike it, I will order someone to send it later?"
Bird's nest? Donkey-hide gelatin
Gu Huaijiang thought about it, it seems that when his wife was still there, he often ate these things.
Since Mrs. Da passed away, the mansion is full of martial arts masters, all of them are in good health, and they don't even eat supplements. It seems that there is no bird's nest and other things in the storeroom.
"Okay, then thank you very much. If you like Yufu, Ben Hou will order someone to come to Beili Vendor and bring a copy for your lady."
The person who spoke immediately beamed with joy.
What an honor it is to make Master Gu remember to bring him something!
Everyone talked more and more vigorously, the ministers with daughters pushed in, and the ministers without daughters could only hate being pushed out of the circle.
They regretted it, what's the use of having so many sons
Hurry up and go home and have a daughter, so that you can find a common topic with Master Gu!
Not far away, Prime Minister Yin snorted softly when he saw this scene.
"When Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty had Concubine Yang with three thousand pets, there was a saying in the poem, so he taught the world's parents to be kind, not to regenerate boys and reborn daughters. Now he Gu Huaijiang got a daughter of unknown origin, and he also made such a 'grand event' , It's really unreasonable!"
－－－－－Off Topic－－－－－
The title comes from Bai Juyi's "Song of Everlasting Regret", which makes parents all over the world believe that they will not regenerate a boy but a daughter. It means that when Concubine Yang is favored, people all over the world hope to have a daughter, and being favored like Concubine Yang makes the family full of glory.
