Mrs. Gu's heart was filled with hatred, she hated Gu Qiancheng for taking away everything from Qianxue; she hated Gu Qiancheng for taking away the scenery that should have belonged to Qianxue.
In Mrs. Gu's eyes, everything Gu Qiancheng owns now should belong to her daughter Qianxue...
In addition, Mrs. Gu hated the old man for not being able to see clearly. Her daughter Qianxue was in Prince Zhao's Mansion, suffering on behalf of Gu Qiancheng, but no one in the Gu Mansion could see her daughter Qianxue's grievances.
These people don't even think about it. If Qianxue hadn't married the Chu Crown Prince on Gu Qiancheng's behalf and got a heart disease at this time, it was Gu Qiancheng who was so shameless. If Qianxue hadn't sacrificed herself, how would Gu Qiancheng be as prosperous as he is today?
No, she could never let Qiancheng go. She could never let Gu Qiancheng steal Qianxue's limelight and Chengzhi's favor!
Her nails dug into her flesh, but Mrs. Gu felt no pain. Her eyes were a bit colder than usual, staring at the direction Gu Qiancheng was leaving without blinking...
She would not let Gu Qiancheng go. She believed that the nobles in the palace would not let Gu Qiancheng go either...
Although there were some unpleasant moments at the Gu family's dinner party, everyone tacitly agreed and acted as if nothing happened and continued to eat and drink as usual.
Eat without talking, sleep without talking.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was not very lively, and it would be fine if it were quieter. Anyway, Gu Qiancheng was not affected at all. After finishing the meal, he and the old man walked slowly towards the study...
The old man is a measured person. He will not ask about Gu Qiancheng's whereabouts in the afternoon, let alone the Feng family's affairs. He only said: "Qiancheng, is this only your third uncle's business?"
"What's wrong with Third Uncle?" Gu Qiancheng has been extremely busy recently, and he really doesn't know what's wrong with Third Uncle Gu.
"A group of people in the Criminal Department have been dismissed, and your third uncle is among them." The old man looked at Gu Qiancheng with a probing look in his eyes...
This kind of thing cannot be fooled. Gu Qiancheng answered honestly: "Grandpa, I didn't know anything about this matter in advance, but it's okay for the third uncle to leave the Criminal Department. The Criminal Department is now in a mess, and it's hard for the third uncle to be caught in the middle."
, If you don’t have an errand with the Ministry of Justice, just find other errands.”
"Qiancheng, do you have any good suggestions?" It's normal for Qiancheng not to know about the Ministry of Justice's affairs. He would only become suspicious if he knew about the matter of Old Mrs. Gu, because not even the three princes knew about this matter. It was entirely the emperor's handiwork.
"Third uncle's temperament is not suitable for these power struggles. It would be better to be a parent official below and then be promoted slowly." Although she does not like to be in politics, she also knows that those who want to be promoted in politics must go to the below for experience.
In order to make his resume look better, the third uncle must start from the bottom step by step and slowly go through the three-year assessment to increase his qualifications. Only in this way can the third uncle have a future.
There are too many officials in the capital, and there is more right and wrong. With the Gu family's power in the capital, Uncle Gu has spent his whole life in the capital as a capital official. It is too difficult to hold real power.
The old man smiled bitterly: "It's not that I haven't thought about it, it's just that our Gu family has been rooted in Beijing for generations, and there is no way for other places to get involved."
The Gu family was the founding fathers of the country. In the early years, they were knighted for their military merits. The old man also accompanied the emperor on the battlefield. However, in order to reassure the emperor, the Gu family handed over all military power, transferred from military affairs to civil affairs, and never got involved in military affairs.
For the sake of the interest of the Gu family, the emperor granted the old man no need to demote his title to inherit. However, when he came to Gu Guogong, he had to demote his title to inherit. Only because of Concubine Gu's presence, the title of Guogong's Mansion was preserved.
But the Gu family just has the title of Duke of Guo. Due to the deeds of their ancestors and the decisiveness of the old man, the Gu family has no influence in the army. Even if the old man wants to send Chenghuan into the army, he has to find someone.
Others help.
As for civil servants? For several generations, the Gu family has not produced a single person who can pass the scientific examination and enter the imperial court. So far, the Gu family has become neither civilized nor military, with no connections anywhere. They can only serve in the Duke's palace.
The name scares those who have no knowledge and foundation.
It is not difficult to arrange Uncle Gu to a place where he can make political achievements, but it is not easy to arrange for Uncle Gu to be an official in a place where he can make political achievements.
When the old man spoke at this time, he must be looking for Gu Qiancheng's help, and Gu Qiancheng knew very well that she could not refuse this matter.
"I will take care of Third Uncle's affairs, so Grandpa doesn't have to worry." This is the difference between her and Concubine Gu...
Concubine Gu could only try to please the old emperor in exchange for some benefits, but all methods were limited to the inner palace.
But she is different...
She has more room to display!
After receiving the affirmative reply, the old man's face immediately glowed: "Qiancheng, my grandfather knew that he was not wrong about you."
The old man knew that he had made the right move, and he was indescribably happy.
Concubine Gu can keep the title of the Gu family, but if she wants the Gu family to remain prosperous, she cannot rely solely on the women in the inner palace. She also needs the men of the Gu family to gain a place in the officialdom.
At present, it seems that Qiancheng will have to rely on the Gu family man to penetrate into the officialdom!
Gu Qiancheng did not get carried away by the old man's praise. She knew very well how much she weighed, so she said with a few words of humility, "Grandpa, the medicine I prepared earlier was used by Mr. Feng. Prince Chu may have to wait."
First class?"
"Don't worry about this. We'll wait until Mr. Feng's illness recovers." The old man stroked his beard, looking enigmatic, with slightly cloudy eyes, but he was extremely shrewd...
Gu Qiancheng knew that the old man was extremely unhappy with what King Zhao had done back then. Even if he did not dare to offend King Zhao openly, it was still okay to make King Zhao anxious...
Gu Qiancheng did not express any opinion on this. The old man could do whatever he wanted. Even if the old man broke up with King Zhao and refused to let her heal Qin Yunchu, she would support it with both hands.
If she had known that things would turn out like this, she would never have said anything that could cure Qin Yunchu, and she would have left Qin Yunchu to fend for himself.
But she didn't have any regrets. She didn't look down on people like Qin Yunchu.
Before leaving, Gu Qiancheng thought of one more thing: "Grandpa, I want to open a small door next to my yard for easy entry and exit."
She didn't want to be hugged in and out by Qin Jiyan every time. Although she and Qin Jiyan were tied together, she didn't want to have any super-friendship feelings with Qin Jiyan.
It is not easy to be the wife of a prince or grandson, or the woman behind them. Even though she comes from a good background and received a noble education, she really doesn't think she can be an outstanding lady like Mrs. Feng...
This is a small request, and the old man will not refuse it at all, even if it is inconsistent with etiquette, so what?
The Gu family are not those sullen scholars who are pressed down by rules and etiquette. In the eyes of the old man, it is okay to follow the rules, but if you can break out of the rules, make good use of them to benefit yourself, and let everyone choose well, then
It's called the best, but...
So far, Gu Qiancheng has not achieved this step, but the old man believes that with his granddaughter's intelligence, it will be a matter of time...
