At the critical moment when the man's face was all lost, Gu Jiaojiao still stretched out her hand and patted Huashang's clothes.
Huashang is a little princess who loves beauty, so there must be no dust on her clothes.
He was thinking about Huashang, and Huashang was also thinking about his brothers, and he tried his best to wink at the back hall to signal Ning An and the others not to come out.
The two of them have been caught on the spot, and no more people can be involved.
Yuanzhang was so anxious that he wanted to rush out to intercede for them, but he was stopped by Ning An, "Don't go, don't go, the crowds are getting more chaotic at this time, trust me, don't go out!"
Yuanzhang knew that Ning An was well-mannered and protective of his younger siblings, so he gritted his teeth and nodded.
In the Golden Palace, Hua Chang calmly stepped forward to salute under the scrutiny of all the officials.
At such a young age, she has no timidity in the face of such a majestic place as the Golden Palace, and the solemn scene full of courtiers discussing politics.
All the ministers discussed and chatted in low voices, Gu Shubai wanted to step forward to see if Hua Chang was injured, but he held back in the end.
After all, this is above the Golden Palace, not the Palace of Longevity, and we can't just talk about the blood relationship between father and son, regardless of the monarch and his ministers.
Gu Jiaojiao cautiously followed Hua Chang's back and saluted, although his temperament was almost as mischievous as Gu Yi's, but he didn't dare to mess around on such a serious occasion.
The little Huashang said in a milky voice: "Return to Your Majesty, my son heard about the troubles in the court, worried about the country and the country, and worried about Your Majesty's body, so I dared to eavesdrop in the back hall. Please forgive me. .”
Gu Jiaojiao's mouth was as big as an egg.
Why couldn't he understand a word of what Hua Chang was saying
She is younger than herself, how could she speak such grown-up words
Looking at the satisfied expressions of the officials in the palace, some nodded with a smile, and some stroked their beards, one could tell that what Hua Chang said was very pleasing to the adults.
Sure enough, Yufu's face also loosened a bit.
She originally just wanted to put on a straight face and teach the two children a lesson, the court is not a place where you can play around, but she didn't expect that Huashang's plausible words would give her no reason to teach her a lesson.
As the only princess of the Great Zhou, she is not wrong to care about state affairs even though she is young.
She smiled slightly, "If you want to hear it, why don't you tell me and come to listen in an open manner? It's a good thing to care about the government. Since you have this heart, I will set up a seat for you in the palace from now on and let you come to listen every day."
All the ministers were in an uproar when they heard the words, how can a princess who is only four years old participate in the government
No matter how talented she is, it is reasonable to have to be twelve or thirteen years old to study court affairs. Is the princess too young
A courtier made a suggestion, Yu Fu only said: "When I ascended the throne, I was not yet ready, but I can still manage the country well. If the princess is really talented, I don't mind letting her participate in the government earlier."
The minister who made the comments thought for a while and said nothing.
Today, His Majesty is a young genius who governs the country, and the children of the Gu family are all dragons and phoenixes. The daughter born to her and Gu Shubai is naturally extraordinary.
What is it to enter politics at the age of four
Your Majesty was conferred the crown prince right from birth!
Tian Yunpo looked at the gorgeous young girl in the palace, and couldn't help teasing: "In ancient times, when a young master came to the throne, his mother listened to the government behind the curtain. Now it's the other way around, Princess Jinling is in charge at the age of four, and in the future it will be another beautiful story in poetry and books. "
After finishing speaking, he looked at Gu Shubai, and couldn't help the envy in his eyes.
Gu Shu looked at his nose and heart with white eyes, and didn't look at anyone. He was worried that when he raised his eyes, he couldn't help showing a proud look.
He is already content with having such a smart and well-behaved daughter, and he can't always show it off. If he shows off too much, other ministers will be sad.
After all, their children are not as sensible as Huashang!
Yu Fu spared Hua Chang, and looked at Gu Jiaojiao again, "Jiaojiao, you also feel sorry for me and worry about government affairs, so you came here to eavesdrop?"
His father, Gu Yi, was in the hall, and the Minister of the Ministry of War tugged at his sleeve, "Aren't you going to intercede with Young Master Ling? If you open your mouth, His Majesty will give you some face."
Of course, this face is definitely not as big as Gu Huaijiang and Gu Jiuge, compared to ordinary people, it is still very impressive.
Gu Yi smiled triumphantly and said: "There is no need to beg for mercy, let His Majesty give him a long memory, it is best to beat him up."
Minister of the Ministry of War trembled all over, "Gu's way of raising children..."
He wanted to say that it was really unflattering, but after thinking about it, the Gu family was too powerful to be offended, not to mention that they were all pillars of the imperial court. It can be seen that this seemingly stern and ruthless way of raising children is very correct.
He bowed his head and pondered, thinking whether he should go home and discuss with his wife, so that he would be stricter with his children from now on.
Gu Jiaojiao pouted, and when everyone was expecting him to give some reason, he said: "Your Majesty, you can spank my ass, or let my mother spank my ass. As long as you stop calling me by my name, what do you want?" Punishment is fine!"
The whole hall burst into laughter, and the quarrel and anger caused by the flood incident just now were swept away.
He didn't say that other people didn't notice. After saying this, everyone realized that he was called by such a feminine name for a boy. No wonder he would rather be spanked than be called by his name.
Yu Fu thought for a while, and explained for him: "My lords don't know, the generation of the Gu family is from the Yuan family. In fact, I named him Yuan Chi. As for Jiao Jiao, I'm used to his nickname. .”
Only then did the ministers suddenly realize.
It is often heard that some people's children are born weak, and the family will give them a cheap name in order to make them easy to support. The feminine name Jiaojiao is probably for a similar reason
Gu Jiaojiao glanced at Yu Fu gratefully, she reversed her first name and nickname and said that she was taking care of his face. In fact, the descendants of the Gu family don't arrange their seniority alphabetically at all, such words can only deceive outsiders.
Now he doesn't have to worry about others using his name to make fun of him.
He hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I accompanied the princess to care about the country's affairs. How can one person care about the country's affairs? Of course, everyone cares about the country's affairs, so the country can become more and more prosperous."
The little glib is quite good at talking.
Yu Fu forgave him, and looked at Hua Chang again, "You have heard the previous court's discussion in the apse, I wonder if you two are concerned about state affairs, what is the result of your concern?"
All the ministers were surprised, is His Majesty going to test the opinions of the two little dolls
They are still so young, they don't know what the topic is, let alone put forward their own opinions
Zhang Jiuque kindly rescued the two of Hua Chang, "Your Majesty, the princess and Young Master Gu are still so young, isn't your majesty's exam too difficult?"
Other people's three or four-year-old baby is still drinking milk. I heard that Princess Jinling already knows a thousand characters at the age of three and can recite Tang poetry and Song poetry, but no matter how good she is, it is impossible to come up with opinions on governing the country!
Hua Chang looked at Zhang Jiuque seriously, "Zhang Taibao, this question is so difficult that even the top ministers of the Great Zhou Dynasty can't answer it. But this question is also very simple if you think about it from another angle."
The little child was so shameless that he said the matter was simple.
All the ministers discussed, Yu Fu just smiled and said nothing, and Gu Shubai didn't intend to join the peace.
In this court, Huashang is the princess of the empire, no matter how young she is, she has to face her own problems in order to establish her prestige as a princess.
Just listening to her voice, she said solemnly: "The question comes from the court, but the answer lies in the hearts of the people. Naturally, everyone can answer it. Even if it is an ordinary Jingjiang citizen, if His Majesty asks him if he would like to manage the river, he can always answer it, right? ?”
All the ministers were in an uproar!
How can a little child say such unique words
If the two of them hadn't suddenly rolled out from behind and had this accident, everyone would not have known that Princess Jinling was actually a child prodigy!
She is indeed the eldest daughter of the emperor!
"The princess has unique insights, I admire you!"
Zhang Jiuque bowed his hands with a smile, and Hua Chang returned the gift upright, "Your Majesty said that the old officials in the court are the pillars of the country. Although Hua Chang is a princess, she should not put on airs in front of the old officials."
She stood up slowly after blessing this ceremony. After hearing her words, all the ministers even had tears in their eyes.
Knowing how to respect virtuous ministers at a young age, I am afraid that even if Yufu wants to make her the heir apparent, the ministers will not object.
Yu Fu smiled and glanced at Hua Chang, this time was as a mother, not as His Majesty, Hua Chang blinked at her, then looked at Gu Shubai.
Gu Shubai met her gaze, and finally couldn't hide the pride in his eyes.
This is his daughter, a daughter who is enough to make everyone in Dazhou envy!
Yu Fu opened his mouth and said: "Hua Chang's words gave me some ideas. Since the adults say that the public is right, and the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is right, why don't you go and ask the people in Jingjiang personally, don't you know whether they want to control the river or not? "
Before everyone thought about Ming Yufu's words, she got up and said, "I decided to go out on patrol in my clothes, and go to Jingjiang to ask the people in person."
…
In early summer, the breeze is cool and not dry.
Departing from the capital slowly in a carriage, the scenery along the way is beautiful, and the singing voice from time to time in the carriage is even more refreshing.
Yu supported him in a blue robe, and Gu Shu wore a blue summer dress. The two disguised themselves as children from a rich family and his wife who went out for a tour, and headed south all the way.
"It's not that we pretend to go out to visit the mountains and rivers, we are going out to visit the mountains and rivers."
Yufu was holding a wild flower picked by the roadside in the carriage, brushing it back and forth on the tip of his nose, Gu Shubai couldn't help laughing, "Is this what His Majesty should say?"
Yu Fu ignored his joke and wrinkled his nose, "But we haven't come out to see rivers and mountains for a long time, it's boring to be bored in the palace all the time. Besides, the matter of river management is not urgent, even if we walk slower. It doesn't matter."
Her playful appearance is still the same as when she was twelve years old.
Gu Shubai thought back to that year, when Gu Jiuge, Gu Xiang, and Gu Yi took her to take a boat tour in the West Lake at night, but she fell into the water and got a cold.
Compared with Yufu at that time, it seems to be completely different, and everything seems to be the same.
Yufu handed the wild flowers in front of him, "Smell it, I don't know what it is, it smells so good. Ask someone to ask the local people to pick some more and send them back to the capital. It must be very good for Kunwu to make ointment." Good sale."
Gu Shubai was sniffing, when he heard her mentioning Kunwu's injury, he asked, "Why do you think of him?"
"I just want him to make it for me. Isn't he supplying most of the ointment used by the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"
Kun Wushang's balm business is getting bigger and bigger, and now he has become an imperial merchant. In addition to running his own business, he is also responsible for paying tribute to the inner court, but...
He has never married a wife.
The descendants of the Gu family can't be counted on one hand, but he is still alone, becoming the oldest and most valuable golden bachelor in the capital.
Even the official media were mobilized to propose marriage to him, but he refused, and he didn't even see the young lady from other people's family. These people secretly suspected that there was something wrong with Kun Wu's injury, only Gu Shubai understood the reason.
But looking at Yufu's appearance...
She didn't understand at all.
After so many years, she is still a little slow to emotional matters, I'm afraid I think Kun Wushang has long since ceased to be obsessed with her.
He sighed softly in his heart, and changed the subject calmly, "The next stop is Lin'an. I heard that the old house of the Gu family is still preserved. Mr. Ning has already sent someone to clean it up for us. We can live here when we go back this time." In the West Wing where you lived when you were a child."
Mentioning this, Yu Fu immediately became fascinated.
He continued: "By the way, his wife gave birth to a girl, whose baby name is Yidan. When the book was sent to the capital last time, a small portrait of the child was attached. It's just that a child of this age changes every day. The first time I see him, I'm afraid his appearance will be different from before."
Probably because Yufu had seen too many brats around him, so he was interested in this girl from Ning Chengzhi's family.
Gu Shubai said: "I think of one thing. When Mrs. Ning Gong came to Gu's house as a guest, she saw that Yuan Zhang liked it so much that she gave Yuan Zhang the dragon pendant that was intended for their own child. A few days ago, I returned See Yuanzhang wearing it, and wearing it together with the seven-color gems given to him by his second brother."
The seven-color gems that Yufu picked up on the bamboo mountain back then were divided into many pieces and given to everyone in the Gu family. Up to now, everyone has passed it on to their children.
It's just that Gu Yi's family only has Jiaojiao, and the two sons born later are gone, and they often complain that their parents are partial.
Gu Yi was also helpless.
It's fine if it's something else, but these seven-color gemstones are hard to come by, he thinks the two youngest sons can't make up for it!
So the Gu family made an unwritten rule that the seven-color gems were only passed on to the eldest son or eldest daughter, and no one else could get them.
Yu Fu also thought of this incident, and said with a smile: "I don't know what Ninggong and the others are passing on to Yidan now, speaking of the grievances and resentments between the Ning family and the Gu family... it is also fate."
There are too many entanglements, so many that I can't count whether it is kindness or hatred. In the end, I have to smile away the kindness and hatred, and use the word fate to sum up the ups and downs of this life.
The next day the carriage entered Lin'an and went directly outside Guhou's mansion.
The two of them just got out of the car when they saw a few people surrounding them, staring at them, as if they were confirming something.
"This... Isn't this the eldest son of the Gu family?"
The old woman holding her little grandson said, then looked at Yufu again, this time she was even more surprised and speechless, "This is not... not..."
"Hush!"
Yu Fu knew that she recognized him, so he hurriedly said to her, "Old woman, don't tell others, please? Just say that we are relatives of the Gu family, come back to see the old house."
After all, she was traveling in a micro-clothes, so it's not good to reveal her identity.
"Young Master Gu!"
Just as the old woman was nodding her head, a man appeared out of nowhere and kowtowed, his voice was so loud that everyone could hear him say "Master Gu".
Gu Shubai was about to stop him when the man saw Yu Fu blurt out, "Princess Zhenjiang! You are Princess Zhenjiang... Your Majesty!"
It was too late now, the people passing by heard the voice and came up to watch, seeing that it was indeed Yu Fu and Gu Shubai, they hurriedly came up to kowtow to salute.
These people are Lin'an people, they have seen them before, and they are very familiar with their appearance.
What's more, even a glimpse of the peerless looks of this pair of Bi people is enough to make the world unforgettable.
More and more people gathered around to salute. Because they were survivors of Dongling, they were more often called "Princess Zhenjiang" and "Prince Gu". These ancient titles immediately aroused the nostalgia between the two.
For Yu Yufu, Lin'an can be regarded as one of her hometowns, some of them are in Immortal Valley, and the last part is in the capital.
For Gu Shubai, this is his complete hometown, where he played, studied and grew up.
These people who kowtow to them are all the elders of the country, and their local accent can bring up thousands of melancholy in him.
When the two of them were busy asking the common people to get up, they turned in a sedan chair from the long street and got off the sedan chair in front of the gate of Guhou Mansion, and it was Ning Chengzhi and his wife who came out.
The common people who had stood up saw him and his wife and bowed politely. Ning Chengzhi also greeted the common people with a smile.
He went forward to salute the two of Yufu, then said in a low voice: "Need me to keep the common people secret, so don't you spread this matter?"
Yu Fu smiled and shook his head, "Forget it, so many people know about it, how can we defend it? Fortunately, the Imperial Forest Army has been protecting it in secret, even if anything happens, it can be dealt with."
Ning Chengzhi was relieved when he heard the words, Gu Shubai said: "Let's talk to the advanced mansion."
There are still old servants from many years ago in the mansion, and their home is here, and they will take a look at the courtyard and ancestral hall of Guhou Mansion along the way.
The four of them went directly to the West Wing. Seeing that nothing had changed here, Yu Fu felt a lot of emotion. Not only her, Gu Shubai, Ning Chengzhi and Mrs. Ning each had their own emotions.
"This place is exactly the same as before. Yufu, do you remember? That's where I taught you how to fly a needle."
Gu Shubai pointed to the location of the back porch, Yu Fu pursed his lips and smiled, raised his hand, the silver light in his sleeve flashed and flew towards the back porch, and the thin silver needles were poked on the porch pillar.
When Ning Chengzhi and Madam Ning met for the first time, she was taken aback.
Yu Fu proudly said: "I have never been lazy, I practice often. If I meet assassins on the road, I will scare them to death."
Mrs. Ning laughed loudly, "Where is the assassin? We are only worried about revealing His Majesty's whereabouts, causing the people to welcome you and let you go. We are not afraid of assassins!"
"Yeah, now that the big Zhou Hai is peaceful, where did the assassin come from?"
As Ning Chengzhi said, he looked around the environment in the west chamber, feeling in his heart that this was the place where Yu Fu had lived, and it really didn't need to be so elegant, but he had never been here before.
I didn't expect that the first time I came, it was actually the scene now.
Yu Fu could hear that Ning Chengzhi's tone was sincere admiration, presumably he also felt the benefits of the unification of the world, at least he would no longer have to worry about wars.
She suddenly said: "By the way, I just saw those people outside the gate of the mansion, they are very respectful to you. Let me say something harsh. When Duke Ning was His Majesty, I am afraid that he was not so loved by the people! "
Ning Chengzhi smiled shyly. Mrs. Ning was busy defending her husband, and said proudly: "Of course. Since His Majesty sealed Lin'an as your husband's fiefdom, your husband has often built books, schools and temples for the common people. Distribute books to children from poor families, so that they can study hard and get number one in the future!"
When she talked about her husband's great achievements, she had a happy expression on her face, but the couple became a mandarin couple by mistake.
Yu Fu looked at Gu Shubai, who gave her a doting look.
He said to Ning Chengzhi and the two: "Seeing that you are living so happily and being so supported by the people, if the old Emperor Ning is alive in heaven, he will be happy. If father knows, he will also be very pleased."
Ning Chengzhi held his wife's hand under the table, and said again: "By the way, Dan'er went to the school today. I heard that Princess Jinling knew a thousand characters at the age of three. Nowadays, there is a craze everywhere, and everyone is vying for the family's childhood The child is sent to the school to study, hoping to be as smart as a princess."
Yu Fu said: "When she comes back from the school, let me meet her. Anyway, I can be regarded as her aunt. She grows up so big, I should give her a meeting gift."
After all, she was Dongling's Princess Zhenjiang.
Ning Chengzhi was touched for a moment, and only heard Gu Shubai say: "After meeting Dan'er and staying in Lin'an for two more days, we should start our journey and continue going south."
Mrs. Ning interrupted, "Go to Jingjiang to observe the people's sentiments?"
Yu Fu covered his mouth and chuckled, and exchanged a glance with Gu Shubai, the two said in unison, "Go to visit the mountains and rivers."
