On the other side, Mr. Gu lived in the Hot Spring Villa.
Mr. Gu held an important position in the capital, so he could not leave for too long, but it was of great importance. He had already written to the second son in the capital, asking him to enter the palace to take leave to His Majesty on his behalf.
The ordinary marquis may not see His Majesty, but who asked Mr. Gu's sister to be His Majesty's favorite concubine? Therefore, it is no difficulty for Mr. Gu to enter the palace to meet the saint.
His Majesty knew Gu Yan's situation and guessed that Gu Yan might be bad if Gu Yan stayed. He asked Gu Marquis Gu to stay in the villa with peace of mind and handle the matters at home properly.
...I just didn't say that I would go back to Beijing after dealing with Gu Yan's funeral.
Mr. Gu knew nothing about His Majesty’s inner drama, and he was busy looking for the child back then.
Mr. Gu first found the stable woman who delivered the Yao family back then.
Wenpo invited him from a nearby village. The search scope was not wide, and news soon came out.
Unfortunately, the midwife passed away a few years ago. Her family only knew that she had indeed gone to the temple to deliver her baby, and she received a lot of rewards. As for more of her family, she was not sure about it.
Mr. Gu treated his dead horse as a living horse and started looking for it from the nearby villages, and found some clues.
There are five children born in the temple, one of which is eighteen, one is nineteen, and the other is only seven years old. None of these three are matched. The remaining two are the right ages. They are all villagers at the foot of the mountain, one in Xinghua Village and the other in Qingquan Village.
Mr. Gu’s confidant guard went to Xinghua Village first, but after coming to the door, he found that the other party was a boy, and the month was not right.
The twins were born in October, and the boy was born in August.
In this way, only the child from Qingquan Village was left.
If this is wrong, they have to look outside Qingquan Town, so that the search scope will be wider.
"Marquis." The guard in charge of the investigation was Huang Zhong, who was the confidant brought by Marquis Gu from the capital. He said, "Marquis, Qingquan Village is not the village at the foot of the main mountain of the temple. They all go around to the other side of the mountain, I'm afraid..."
The possibility is not very high.
Mr. Gu also thought so, so he placed Qingquan Village in the last investigation.
Mr. Gu didn't have much hope in his heart and said to Huang Zhong: "You go and have a look first, don't come back, don't leak the news, if yes... I'll be waiting for you in the tea shop in the town."
"yes."
After Huang Zhong received the order, he immediately took a carriage to Qingquan Village.
Huang Zhong is in his early forties, has a burly figure and a gentle face. He looks like a good person at first glance and can easily gain the trust of strangers.
"That's the Gu family's kid!" said an old man sitting at the door of his house basking in the sun.
This old man is a little old and has a dizzy look on his back. He remembers that there is a baby born in the temple in the Gu family.
"Which family is Gu?" Huang Zhong asked.
"Li Zheng! Gu Li Zheng!" The old man waved his hand and pointed the way.
It's actually Gu's surname? It's such a coincidence.
Huang Zhong thanked the uncle and drove the carriage to the Gu family's old house.
Gu Dashun and Gu Xiaoshun went to school. Gu Li was taking Gu Changhai to the yamen to collect rice and grain. Gu Changlu and Gu Ershun were sowing in the field in spring. There were only Gu Yue'e and Wu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law at home.
The one who opened the door was Gu Yue'e.
This is not the first time Gu Yue'e has seen a noble man and a carriage, but she is still stunned: "Who are you looking for?"
The country girl had never seen the world before, so her reaction was normal. Huang Zhong smiled and said, "Is Gu Li right now?"
Gu Yue'e was afraid of talking to a strange man, so she turned around and ran into the house: "Mmmy! Someone is looking for grandpa!"
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were chopping peppers in the backyard. Seeing Gu Yue'e running in panic, Wu frowned impatiently: "Who is looking for your grandpa?"
Gu Yue'e pointed backwards: "I don't know you, I came by a carriage."
When it sounded like it was a carriage, Wu's expression was different.
Wu put down the kitchen knife in his hand, wiped his hand with a rag, and quickly walked to the door.
The two horses that Huang Zhong was sitting in were one more horse than the carriage in charge who sent a post to Gu Xiaoshun last time. Wu suddenly had a measure in his heart. This person's identity was higher than that of the dean of the academy!
But how could such a noble person come to their house?
Wu asked with a smile: "Who are you? What's the matter with me?"
"My surname is Huang. I heard that your family has a child born in a temple. I want to find out about the child's situation."
Wu's smile disappeared immediately.
I am looking for the little disaster star. As long as I get involved with the little disaster star, there will be no good things!
Wu was about to close the door with a dark face, but Liu's eyes flashed and said with a smile: "That's not in vain."
Huang Zhong understood and smiled unchanged, and took out a silver ingot from his arms.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law's eyes suddenly stared.
Liu reached out to get it, but Wu grabbed the silver first! Liu gritted her teeth secretly. Why did she get into her mother-in-law's pocket?
After Wu received the money, his face looked much better: "What do you want to ask? Ask!"
"How old is that child? Is he a girl?"
"Fourteen! Girl!"
This time, Huang Zhong's eyes lit up: "How many months did you have born?"
This made Wu ask, a little fool who lost money, would he bother to remember her birth date?
Liu hurriedly said, "I, I, I know! Born in October!"
She had just gotten pregnant with Gu Xiaoshun that month, so she was very impressed.
Even after even the month was met, Huang Zhong began to feel excited: "Which day?"
"Seventeen or eighteen?" Liu couldn't remember the Qing Dynasty. It seemed that no one would remember Gu Jiao's birthday except Gu Xiaoshun.
The twins were born on the 18th, and these clues can be said to be very close.
Huang Zhong suppressed his excitement and continued to ask, "Which temple was born?"
Liu pointed and said, "Which temple is there on the other side of the mountain?"
It happened that at this time, Gu Changlu came out with a hoe.
Liu waved to him: "Ershun's father, was Jiaomo born on the 18th or 17th?"
"Eighteen, what's wrong?" Gu Changlu said, while looking at the man and the carriage in front of the door strangely.
Huang Zhong was so excited that he was extremely satisfied with everything. It should be true. Unexpectedly, the child who had no hope at all was the child they were looking for!
Gu Changlu came to Wu and Liu. At this time, Zhou also came out to watch the fun.
Only Gu Yue'e was timid and hid at the back door of the main hall and looked here secretly.
Huang Zhong's excitement was no longer hidden. Gu Changlu looked him up and down and asked Liu, "Why did you suddenly ask about the beautiful lady?"
Liu pulled Gu Changlu aside, pointed to Wu's pocket, and whispered: "He came to inquire about the news about the girl and gave him a ingot of silver, but all of them were taken away by her mother!"
Gu Changlu stared at Liu, dissatisfied with Liu complaining about his mother in this tone, but he didn't agree with Wu's approach.
He walked to Wu and said, "Mom, we can't collect this money."
Wu tightened his purse: "Why can't you accept it?"
Gu Changlu glanced at Huang Zhong and said, "I don't know who he is, what is Jiao Niang doing? What if he is a bad person and he is a bad plan to Jiao Niang?"
Wu was dissatisfied when he heard this. What a little disaster star did her life and death? If he died, he would not be able to cause trouble and make the whole family uneasy!
