Chapter eight hundred and fortieth chapters are not romantic
Why does the emperor value Gu Chengyu? The only thing Gu Chengyu can do is his talent. The teacher said that the emperor wants to support Gu Chengyu and come to the ring with the teacher.
This person is just a chess piece in the Emperor's hands! He is also a chess piece that can be abandoned at any time!
Thinking about it this way, Min Feng felt much more comfortable.
"Hey, dear brother, you don't have to belittle yourself! But when it comes to Master Gu, I do admire him a little, but it's a pity that I haven't had the opportunity to meet him."
When Li Taixing said this, he sighed slightly to express his regret.
When Min Feng saw this, his expression darkened. What did Li Taixing mean? Did he also feel that he was inferior to Gu Chengyu?
Li Taihang picked up the wine glass, covered it with his sleeve, and took a sip to hide the smile at the corner of his mouth.
"Speaking of Mr. Gu, I actually have something to do with him because of something, but we just haven't had the opportunity to meet him in person." Li Taixing suddenly remembered something and said quickly.
Min Feng was immediately puzzled. Gu Chengyu was from Jingyuan Prefecture. How did he meet the prefect of Yingnan Prefecture?
Li Taihang came to work here five years ago, so it is impossible for him to have anything to do with Gu Chengyu.
"Oh? I wonder what the connection is? That's really a coincidence." Min Feng asked curiously.
"Master Gu's second uncle is now a member of our Yingnan Mansion. Do you think it's a coincidence or not?" Li Taixing said with emotion and a smile on his face.
"How could it be possible? Mr. Gu is from Jingyuan Prefecture!" Min Feng exclaimed, is it such a coincidence? But Jingyuan Prefecture and Yingnan Prefecture are thousands of miles apart!
Equally surprised was the staff member He Zhongkuan, who was sitting silently and acting as a foil.
He Zhongkuan was sent by Xia Qing to give some guidance to his disciples. Because his disciples were not yet experienced in doing things, Xia Qing was worried.
He was afraid that Min Feng would get into trouble if he wasn't careful, so he sent He Zhongkuan, who was both talented and steady, to help him.
"His second uncle's name is Gu Changbai. It is said that because of the disaster in Jingyuan Prefecture that year, he moved his family here to join his brother-in-law."
Min Feng originally thought there was something behind this matter, but now that he heard that it was just for this reason, he couldn't help but feel a little uninterested.
"That's it! That's really a coincidence!"
Seeing this, Li Taixing didn't seem to notice anything, but smiled and continued: "Speaking of which, this family is also very pitiful. Back then, his family had a granddaughter who went to the lantern festival and didn't want to be taken away by the flower girl.
The girl traveled to the capital. Somehow, she was found by this family and was rescued. She was lucky. Fortunately, the flower girl ended up in the hands of this official. Otherwise, I don’t know how many people would have been harmed.
Na!"
Li Taihang told the story as if he was chatting. Then he raised his glass and invited everyone present to drink together.
At this time, Min Feng's heart began to turn upside down. He thought for a moment, "I am lucky to have found that girl. I don't know which house in the capital she was sold to back then."
Li Taixing shook his head when he heard this, "I haven't heard of this. Anyway, I said I found it in the capital. I am busy with official duties, so I forgot to ask about it. Dear brother, come on, come on! Let's have a drink."
He Zhongkuan's heart was already in his throat, but when he saw that Li Taixing had brought the topic elsewhere, he put it down a little.
Min Feng smiled, picked up the wine glass and took a drink, but remembered this in his heart. The speaker did not mean it, but the listener did it with intention.
I couldn't help but think of how Gu Chengyu seemed to have redeemed a girl from a brothel when they were taking the national examination.
For a while, the capital was joking about the fact that a talented man loves a beautiful woman, and that a man is not a romantic young man. However, as time went by, everyone stopped paying attention to this matter.
Could that girl be Gu Chengyu's niece? If so, there would be a lot to work on!
When Gu Chengyu redeemed his niece, did he know that the girl was his niece? If he didn't know, the two of them would be related again, wouldn't it?
He had to investigate this matter carefully, but judging from the situation at that time when Gu Chengyu insisted on ransoming the girl, it was unlikely that Gu Chengyu had known about it for a long time.
But it doesn't matter, Gu Chengyu will be criticized by others. His uncle is an official, but his niece has become a lowly citizen. Even if they don't know about it in advance, those officials should be happy to take a look at Gu Chengyu's book.
After all, Gu Chengyu was promoted so quickly that the ministers in the court began to be wary. These officials can use chicken feathers as command arrows, will they let this opportunity pass?
After Min Feng finished drinking the wine in his glass, he was about to reach for the jug. Unexpectedly, he was stopped by Li Taixing, who asked the dancing actor to pour wine with him.
"Why are you so indifferent? Why don't you give Master Min a full drink?"
The woman was dancing, but the master actually pointed her to pour wine for the man. She stopped dancing, feeling ecstatic.
With just one look, she understood what the master meant.
She has just turned fifteen this year and is quite beautiful. She has known since childhood that their status is no different from that of women in brothels.
For an actress like her to be a concubine in the end, it would be considered a high honor, and she would most likely be given away by her master's family.
Then it goes round and round, moving around in various houses, until it gets old and fades, and is forgotten somewhere in the house.
But she didn't want to be like those women. She was young, beautiful and a virgin.
Unlike other actors in this mansion, they have long been approached by the master and guests of the mansion.
Originally, she was still very worried when she reached her age this year. The master likes beautiful girls, and all the actors in the palace have been harmed by him. How can there be any perfect body?
In addition, there are seven or eight rooms in the house, whether they are married couples or concubines.
Just like this, the master is still not satisfied. I got two skinny horses from nowhere a few days ago. They are fresh these days!
She is in fear every day, fearing that the master will call her to bed. She is still young, and the master is too old to be her grandfather. Who would like such an old man?
However, every time the master called someone to serve him, Qu's mother didn't call her, which made her feel lucky and puzzled at the same time.
Now she finally understood that it was useful to keep her innocent!
I heard some of the officials talking just now, saying that this gentleman is young and promising. Looking at his fawning attitude, he must have a big backer behind him.
The woman suppressed the ecstasy in her heart, thinking that if she could get a hold of this young man, she would be able to capture her and take her back to the capital to enjoy the glory and wealth.
She uses some skills to win over people, and she can still be a concubine.
Thinking of this, the woman's eyes became eager. She twisted her waist and stepped forward to bow.
"The slave family pays homage to Lord Min!"
Min Feng looked up and saw the woman who was leading the dance just now. He couldn't help but tremble all over.
This woman was wearing purple tulle, and her radiant skin looked even whiter and smoother against the backdrop of the purple tulle.
