Jun Yian left, and so did Ji Nuo; King Zhao and King Zhou fell ill again, and the whole capital seemed to be quiet, and in this tranquility, Cheng Huan's letter from home arrived.
There are two letters from Cheng Huan, one to the Gu family and one to Gu Qiancheng alone.
Second Master Gu and Second Madam Gu looked at the letter in Qian Cheng's hand, and they didn't know what it felt like, but it just felt uncomfortable. But with the old man here, these two people didn't dare not say anything.
After Gu Qiancheng got the letter, he didn't show any hatred in front of others. He said something to the old man and went back early.
Cheng Huan's letter to Gu Qiancheng was written about the trivial matters on the way, as well as what he had seen and heard along the way. It was full of intimacy and relaxation. Of course, in the end, Cheng Huan would not forget the serious matter. Cheng Huan also talked about this matter in the letter with the old man.
Mentioned.
The army in the northwest is very unusual!
Gu Chenghuan did not speak in detail, only some small details. But from these small details, Gu Qiancheng could also see that there was something wrong with the northwest army.
As expected, King Zhao did not bet all his treasure on the old emperor!
King Zhao is definitely going to rebel.
Northwest is in danger!
Gu Qiancheng held the letter and frowned: Chenghuan dared to write these things in the letter, which means that the channel through which this letter was sent is absolutely safe. Chenghuan alone cannot do this, there must be Yan Qing's handwriting in it.
Yan Qing sent the news to the Gu family, presumably hoping that she would pass on the matter so that Great Qin could prepare in advance. Just when Gu Qiancheng was thinking about whether to send the news to the Prince of Pingxi County through Qin Jiyan, next
Someone came to tell the old lady that he wanted to see her.
Gu Qiancheng didn't need to think about it to know that the old man meeting her at this time must be because of what was written in the Chenghuan letter.
Cheng Huan wrote to Gu Qiancheng about the northwest army. He wrote it on a separate piece of paper. Gu Qiancheng took it out and immediately soaked it in potion and smashed it until he could no longer see that it was paper before going out.
When Gu Qiancheng came over, the old man was the only one in the study. The old man looked very unhappy, but Gu Qiancheng looked as usual and even asked with a smile: "Grandpa, did Cheng Huan say something to make you unhappy?"
?Don’t be angry, when Cheng Huan comes back, I will help you teach him a lesson."
"You don't know?" Mr. Gu looked at Gu Qiancheng critically.
Gu Qiancheng looked back with a blank expression, "What do you know?"
"What did Cheng Huan write to you?" the old man looked away and asked.
"I wrote about what happened to him on the way, and also said that the money I prepared for him came in handy. They encountered a heavy rain on the way, and all the salutes were washed away. The banknotes were wet and the money could not be found. Fortunately, I gave him
His banknotes were all wrapped in wax paper, which solved their urgent need." Gu Qiancheng picked a few things and spoke in a brisk voice without any worry.
Old Mrs. Gu looked at Gu Qiancheng suspiciously, "Can you show me the letter?"
"Of course, I'll have someone pick it up." To show that the letter was not important, Gu Qiancheng didn't take it with him.
"No, I'll have someone go get it." The old man summoned his confidant and asked him to go to Gu Qiancheng's room to get the letter. Gu Qiancheng didn't object. After the other party left, he said solemnly: "Grandpa, what happened?
Something?"
"Well," the old man nodded, "there are some things I can't tell you now, but grandpa is doing it for your own good."
Gu Qiancheng refused to listen and asked, "Is it related to Cheng Huan's letter?"
"You don't have to worry about this matter." The old man made it clear that he would not tell Gu Qiancheng, "Qiancheng, what do you think about Qianxue's matter?"
"Qianxue?" Gu Qiancheng knew in his heart that the old man was afraid that he wanted to distance himself from the relationship between the Gu family and Prince Zhao's Mansion, but...
Is it really that easy to tell the truth?
At first, I tried my best to curry favor with Prince Zhao, but now I want to distance myself from him. It’s too late!
"After all, he is the child of our Gu family. Even if he makes mistakes, it shouldn't be too ugly. Send a letter to Prince Zhao's Mansion and ask Prince Chu to come and visit." It was true love back then. How could Prince Chu not come to pick her up at this time.
"No... I want Qianxue to come back and let Prince Chu write a letter of release." The old man had already thought about it and told Gu Qiancheng. He just hoped that she would be mentally prepared.
Gu Qiancheng pretended to be surprised and said: "At this time? It's not good."
Just after King Zhao was reprimanded by the emperor, the Gu family broke off their relationship with Prince Zhao's palace, but this was truly a cold call.
The old man also thought about this and frowned: "Qianxue is no longer of use in Prince Zhao's Mansion. Prince Chu will not look at her seriously."
"It's useless to take her back." A woman who had been a concubine really thought she was still the noble second daughter of the Gu family.
The old man just pretended not to hear and asked: "Is there any way you can separate Qianxue from Prince Zhao's Mansion?"
"Grandfather..." Gu Qiancheng looked at the old man with an indifferent expression, implying ridicule.
"Qiancheng, I am here for the sake of the family." The old man also knew that he was forcing others to do something difficult, but now is not the time for the love between children.
Gu Qiancheng took a deep breath and said, "Grandpa has said this, what else can I do?"
"Tell me about it..." I knew that Gu Qiankua was disappointed, but the old man didn't regret it. Some things are more important than personal grudges.
"Isn't Prince Chu often running out of the city recently? Grandpa sent someone to check, and they should be able to find something useful." After Gu Qiancheng said this, he stood up and said, "Grandpa, if there is nothing else, I will
Let’s go first.”
He bowed and left. On his way out, he met a servant who had returned from collecting a letter. Gu Qiancheng took a look at him without saying anything and left indifferently.
"Old Master..." The servant walked up to the old man and looked at him worriedly.
The eldest lady seemed unhappy.
For the current Gu family, if the eldest lady is unhappy, the whole family will not have a good time.
"She will understand." The old man waved his hand, signaling for his servants to leave, and he opened the letter Cheng Huan wrote to Gu Qiancheng.
Just as Gu Qiancheng said, the content in the letter was only homely, completely different from what was written to the old man.
"As people get older, they really have more worries." The old man sighed, regretting taking the letter, but he couldn't feel at ease without seeing this letter.
"Go and see what the eldest lady is doing now." The old man knocked on the bookshelf behind him, and immediately a figure appeared and ran towards Gu Qiancheng's yard at a speed so fast that no one could see clearly.
Gu Qiancheng came out of the old man's study and did not go back to the yard. Instead, he went to the stable to get a horse and rode out.
The spy behind her followed her, watching Gu Qiancheng ride to Donglin Academy, but stood at the entrance of the academy for a long time without entering; then watched Gu Qiancheng ride to the outskirts of the city, watching from a distance whether the camp in the suburbs of Beijing was there.
near.
The people following Gu Qiancheng didn't know what Gu Qiancheng was doing in these two places, but Old Mrs. Gu understood. After hearing the spies' report, Old Mrs. Gu closed his eyes and held back the sourness in his eyes...
