"It's been more than a year. It's time for your third uncle to come back." The old man pretended not to understand Gu Qiancheng's refusal and said majestically.
After Gu Qiancheng achieved her wish, she no longer planned to stay. But before she could ask to leave, the old man said, "Qiancheng, when will your third uncle's term of office end?"
The old emperor refused to see him!
But even so, Mrs. Gu still had to hold on. He wrote a letter and went to the palace to plead guilty. At the same time, he ordered his family to renovate the Gu family, and all the illegal decorations and buildings were sealed.
With this strong desire to survive, the old man's health was getting better and better day by day. Gu Qiancheng was surprised to see it, but at the same time he secretly admired him.
Mr. Gu no longer thought about it. He still had a few people in the palace. After the old emperor refused to see him when he asked for forgiveness, the old man asked someone to bring a message to Concubine Gu, asking what Concubine Gu had said to the old emperor. The emperor hates their Gu family so much
Gu Qiancheng smiled lightly and refused: "Old Master, officials who are sent abroad will be appointed for at least three years. The third uncle will not come back until one year at the earliest."
Just because Qian Cheng didn't mention it doesn't mean that the old man didn't think of Uncle Gu, who was the only promising son he had.
Uncle Gu is working as an official outside, but with his low rank of sixth rank, he cannot take care of the Gu family at all, and the Gu family has no way to take advantage of him.
Gu Qiancheng glanced at the old man, shook his head and said, "Old man, I am just a boudoir girl, how can I influence the appointment and scheduling of officials."
The title of the Gu family was reduced by the old emperor's order. During the old emperor's lifetime, the Gu family would not be able to rise unless they made great achievements. If he wanted to see the Gu family ascend to high positions again, he had to survive the old emperor.
Why come back
Filial piety is as great as heaven. If someone is unfilial, his career will be affected as well as Chengyi's career.
Because the Gu family's title was reduced, the old man fell ill in bed again, and Gu Qiancheng couldn't go out, so he had to postpone the meeting with the Wu family again.
The Gu family has reached this point, why are Qiancheng still unwilling to take action
But not only did Concubine Gu not give him an answer, she took the opportunity to beat him to death and executed everyone in the palace who had anything to do with the Gu family.
As for Concubine Gu and the fifth prince in the palace
I want to take advantage of her power, but I also want to suppress her arrogance. There are so many good things in this world.
With the imperial edict, the outcome of the Gu family was already doomed. No matter how unwilling Old Mrs. Gu was, he could only accept this reality.
The old man frowned, with a flash of dissatisfaction in his eyes, but he still suppressed his temper and said in a good voice: "Qiancheng, don't get angry with my grandfather. Although my grandfather is old, he is not blind. You saved Mr. Feng and General Yan. , Feng and Yan will definitely repay this kindness, if you go to them to help with this little favor, they will definitely help."
Gu Qiancheng nodded and agreed with the old man's words, but just when the old man thought Gu Qiancheng would agree, Gu Qiancheng said innocently: "But, why should I ask them for help?"
"Third Uncle? He has just arrived in Jiangnan and will not be back in a short time." Even if he could come back, Gu Qiancheng would not let Third Uncle come back now.
Of course, none of this had anything to do with Gu Qiancheng. She stayed leisurely in her yard, completely ignoring the Gu family's affairs, but...
The old lady was fine, so Gu Qiancheng mentioned Qianmeng's matter to her, "Old lady, with our family's situation, Qian Meng is no longer qualified to participate in the Chinese Valentine's Day banquet. I plan to send her out to stay for a while in two days." Gu Qiancheng She didn't say anything about sending Qianmeng to Jiangnan, because she was afraid that she would take Chengzhi's bastard with her.
The four words "take care of yourself" are not ordinary. Mr. Gu didn't know what Concubine Gu said to the old emperor, so that the old emperor said these four words to him.
Moreover, the presence of Uncle Gu, an official, can also make outsiders understand that their Gu family has not been completely abandoned by the emperor. If they want to step on their Gu family, they have to consider whether they have the ability.
Concubine Gu has turned against the Gu family...
The more this happened, the more unwilling the old man was. He began to rest in peace and recuperate, hoping to live for a few more years, preferably to live longer than the old emperor.
She can firmly refuse the old man, but Mr. Gu may not.
Selling Gu Qiancheng to save Cheng Huan's face is far more beneficial than giving Qian Meng away casually.
"You can't, but the Feng family can." The old man didn't allow Gu Qiancheng to refuse at all, "Qiancheng, this is the most difficult time for our Gu family. We must unite together to overcome this difficulty. Besides, it will not benefit you if the Gu family collapses. , you don’t naively think that without the Gu family, those people would still value you so much, right?"
Working for the Gu family and the old man
The old man still has some abilities. He is definitely not a simple person who can recover from the shock so quickly. You know, no one else in the Gu family has recovered from the blow.
In an instant, he was transformed from a powerful marquis to a commoner who could be bullied by everyone, and a commoner who had to kneel down when he saw an official. Not everyone could accept it. The old man's hair turned gray in an instant...
After returning from the palace, Mr. Gu fell ill, but he did not become depressed. Instead, he developed a stronger desire to survive.
"Old Master, you really think too highly of me. You also said that without the Gu family, those who would not think highly of me would not value me. Now that the Gu family has lost the emperor's heart, why should Master Feng help me?" Gu Qiancheng lowered his eyes and covered his eyes. of ridicule.
"One year is too long. You should think of a way to transfer your third uncle back to the capital to serve, even if it is just a regular transfer." Of course the old man knows that it is best to become an official outside with mixed qualifications, but...
The Gu family was defeated in his hands, and they must rise again in his hands. Qian Cheng is right. The Gu family still has Cheng Huan, the third son who is still an official in Jiangnan. As long as they are promoted step by step, the Gu family's title will definitely come back.
The old man was seriously ill. Although Gu Qiancheng did not attend to his illness all day long, she still visited the old man every day in order to show off to others. In the past two days, she could clearly feel that the old man was getting better.
Reality slapped Mr. Gu in the face again.
"You, you... didn't I say that? Without the Gu family, do you think you can still be the eldest lady of the Duke's mansion?" The old man was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
Mrs. Gu and the second wife immediately fell ill, and Mr. Gu looked like he was dead. Her father, because his title had been reduced, began to live in a drunken state, acting like a prince in the house.
Yes, it was sealed rather than demolished. Mr. Gu believed that their Gu family would definitely be able to get back on their feet, but...
"You can make arrangements for Qianmeng's affairs." Without the value of marriage, the old man was unwilling to refute Qiancheng's face because of Qianmeng's affairs.
Only by entering the capital and serving as officials in the capital can their Gu family reap some benefits, be known to the outside world as a member of the official family, and be able to deal with the official family.
The old emperor randomly ordered a young eunuch to attack Mr. Gu, and gave Mr. Gu a message: "The emperor said, let you take care of yourself."
And then be dragged to death by the entire Gu family
In this case, what else does the old man not understand
