The Gu family has gone through several generations, and the way to establish the world is to support the Ming Lord and help the country. But once the Ming Lord is unknown, the Gu family will not help the tiger. When the dynasty changes irreversibly, they will withdraw in time and wait for the next Ming Lord.<
/p>
Therefore, the foundation of the Gu family has always been not based on nepotism involving imperial power.
Counting generations of the Gu family, no one has ever thought of this idea. Unexpectedly, in this generation, His Majesty has made an idea of Gu Molan.
Gu Molan is fourteen this year. Eight years ago, she was only six years old when Gu Qingyan and An Huajin made an engagement. At that time, the second prince was twelve, six years older than Gu Molan. Your Majesty is really thoughtful. p>
When he wanted to make the second prince his heir, he never thought that the An family would disagree? Did he think that if the Gu family could contain the An family, everything would be fine?
Mr. Gu really doesn't know what to say to His Majesty now.
You may say that he is smart and calculating, but he is too confused in many things. You may say that he is not smart, but he has been plotting against the An family and the Gu family for eight years.
Mr. Gu stroked his beard and shook his head repeatedly, asking Gu Qingyan, "What are you going to do?"
"The rules of the Gu family cannot be broken." Gu Qingyan said calmly, "Let Jiumei get engaged."
Mr. Gu nodded, "But at that time, the selection was too hasty. If I didn't choose the right candidate, wouldn't I have wronged Xiao Jiu? This is a major event in my life."
"I have a list of unmarried children in the capital here. Grandpa, take a look first." Gu Qingyan took out a booklet from his sleeve and handed it to Mr. Gu, "Everyone on this list basically has no moral problems.
No big mistake can be made.”
Mr. Gu took the list, looked through it for a moment, and then raised his head, "These children are not from noble families, and they all have a good family background. They all seem to have a bright future. It would be good for Xiaojiu to choose one from them. I
I didn’t know that there are so many unmarried good men in Beijing. Your grandmother has always been worried about choosing a good family for Xiaojiu. Now that you have this book, you don’t have to worry about it anymore.”
"This is supposed to be a matter between grandmother and mother. Now I, as the elder brother, have taken over the responsibility." Gu Qingyan said, "But the matter is urgent. Grandpa will show it to grandmother and mother. It's best to make a decision within three days."
."
"Yes." Mr. Gu nodded and put away the list, "Tell me, does His Majesty the Seventh really want to marry Xiaojiu, or is he deliberately angry with His Majesty to disrupt His Majesty's plans?"
Gu Qingyan shook his head, "His Seventh Highness is more thoughtful than His Majesty, it's hard to say."
He remembered hearing Qing Mo's report today that Chu Yan went to the An family's old house and didn't know what he said to An Huajin. The two of them did not agree with each other and seemed to be very unhappy. When Chu Yan left the An family's old house, his face was livid and full of anger.
He even kicked the carriage angrily.
An Huajin never mentioned it to him, and it was like nothing, so he didn't ask. It seemed that he had to talk to her about this matter.
Mr. Gu took the name list and left. Gu Qingyan left the Gu family again and went to the An family's old house.
During this period, An Huajin naturally woke up.
In fact, An Huajin woke up just after he left.
Sleeping with a pillow is naturally different from sleeping with a warm person. As soon as he left, her body seemed to get cold quickly, her blood gradually turned cold, her hands and feet were cold, and she was soon frozen
Wake up.
She curled up into a ball holding the quilt, her brows knotted, thinking that she might be unable to live without Gu Qingyan for the rest of her life.
How could he be so agreeable!
An hour later, when he heard the familiar footsteps outside, An Huajin immediately lay down again with his pillow in his arms, closed his eyes, and let himself breathe evenly, as if he was sleeping soundly.
Gu Qingyan came to the courtyard. Because he was in such a hurry to leave the Gu family, he had a slight sweat on his forehead.
"Sir, the little princess hasn't woken up yet." Qing Mo didn't hear the movement in the room, nor did he hear the little princess calling someone.
"Yeah." Gu Qingyan waved her hand, "Go ahead."
He quietly opened the door and entered the room. The room was very quiet. It was just as it was when he left, and it was still the same now. An Huajin was sleeping soundly, and even her posture did not change. She seemed to be sleeping without him.
Very good.
He came to the bed, gently opened the curtains, took off his coat very gently, then carefully withdrew the pillow she was holding, and lay down next to her.
After lying down, he immediately felt that something was wrong. An Huajin's whole body was cold, his hands and feet were cold, and even if he was covered with a quilt, he was not warm at all.
He was startled, stretched out his arms to hug her, and used his body to warm her up.
An Huajin said softly, "Huh", as if he was awake but not awake.
"Go to sleep." Gu Qingyan thought his movements had woken her up and patted her gently.
An Huajin didn't feel sleepy at all at this time, thinking how could this man be so kind, gentle, considerate, and so agreeable to her? It was precisely because of this that she naturally enjoyed what he gave her, but she didn't.
Dare to really do anything to him.
The seventh cousin was wrong. She wanted to drag him with him to fulfill the engagement in front of His Majesty, but she didn't dare. Gu Qingyan was really a poison that penetrated the intestines. If she really took it, she would probably be eaten by him for the rest of her life.
Deadly.
You know, she was harmed by him three years ago, and she couldn't bear to do anything to him again.
"Awake? But uncomfortable?" Gu Qingyan felt that An Huajin's body was not only cold, but also stiff. He looked down at her and saw that she seemed to be suffering but not suffering, and that she seemed to be tolerant but not tolerant. Her eyelashes were trembling slightly, and he frowned slightly, "
I just went back home for an hour. When I left, you were still very warm. Why are you so cold now?"
An Huajin hugged him, feeling very complicated and unspeakable for a moment. She was silent for a while and said sleepily, "This is the symptom. Only after the sunflower water has passed, will it heal naturally and it will be okay." p>
Gu Qingyan sighed, "This is too torturous. How did your mother suffer from the cold when she was pregnant with you?"
An Huajin said softly, "When my mother was pregnant with me, Nan Qi and Nan Liang joined forces to invade the country. That year, it snowed heavily, and Nanyang City was three feet frozen. Not only was food and grass in short supply, but the people's homes were not even equipped with anything to keep warm.
, not to mention the cotton-padded clothes for the soldiers, which were not enough. Many soldiers went to the battlefield wearing single clothes and armor, some suffered from frostbite, and some were injured. There were not enough stretchers, and there was a shortage of military doctors. My mother, with her big belly, took the Nanyang Palace with her
All the old, weak, women and children helped the military doctors in the rear. Later, I couldn’t stand it any longer. My mother, with her big belly, took people north to the Prince’s Mansion in Mobei Town, asking for the private soldiers and military doctors from the Prince’s Mansion in Zhenbei. The King of Zhenbei borrowed a
Tens of thousands of private soldiers and dozens of military doctors were able to solve the crisis in Nanyang. I was born when my mother was on her way back to Nanyang from Zhenbei Palace."
Gu Qingyan followed with a very soft voice, "So that's it."
In heavy snow and cold weather, it is extremely easy to catch cold and cause diseases.
"Well, when my mother was pregnant with me and giving birth to me, she suffered a lot from physical stress, and she has been in poor health ever since. So, eight years ago, when my father and brother died on the battlefield, she couldn't bear it and collapsed all of a sudden.
Body." An Huajin said, remembering something, and smiled, "I heard from my grandfather that when my mother went north to Mobei Town to borrow troops from the Prince's Mansion, it happened to be a hundred days after the Princess of Zhenbei gave birth to Lin'er.
, the Crown Princess once said with a smile that if my mother gave birth to a daughter, it would be better for the two families to get married."
Gu Qingyan's eyebrows darkened, "Is this the case?"
"Well." An Huajin raised his eyes to look at her, "My mother and the Crown Princess, who is now the Princess of Zhenbei, are handkerchiefs. Otherwise, if my mother hadn't personally gone to Mobei Zhenbei Prince's Mansion to borrow troops and people with her big belly,
If it were someone else, how could Zhenbei Palace give it to me? It depends on this friendship."
"It's just a joke." Gu Qingyan pretended not to care. No matter what, he is the one who is engaged to him now.
Anhua Jin smiled, "Isn't this a joke? If you hadn't asked me about it today, I would have vaguely heard my grandpa say it and would have forgotten it."
Gu Qingyan looked at him, "Is that Lin'er Su Han?"
"Well, that should be it."
"Later, did the An family repay the friendship that the Zhenbei Palace had for lending troops and people?" Gu Qingyan asked.
An Huajin thought for a while, "No! The old prince said to remember it back then."
Gu Qingyan lowered his eyebrows, "Then this friendship is not small."
An Huajin didn't care too much and said casually, "Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, who knows that Nan Qi and Nan Liang will not reach out to Mobei one day? Although Mobei is a lonely desert with dangerous passes, Yi
It's difficult to defend, but for a hundred and fifty years, Nanyang has been a tough nut to crack, and Nan Qi and Nan Liang have been unable to attack it. If they want to invade, they have to find another way?"
Gu Qingyan raised his eyes, his heart trembling slightly, "It's possible."
An Huajin stretched out his hand, patted his face very gently, and smiled, "So, Mr. Gu Qi, sleep well and don't think about all the mess. Are you tired?"
Gu Qingyan: "..."
He smiled dumbly and stared at An Huajin with warm eyes. In the darkness, he could clearly see the expression on her eyebrows. Her face was white due to the coolness, but it was white through. With the smile at the corner of her mouth, her eyebrows seemed to be infected.
Moonlight, his voice lowered, "I don't want to think about those messy things, but you always make me unable to feel at ease."
