An opening day like this is chosen as an auspicious day and cannot be changed.
But after all, it's just a blacksmith's shop, and it's not a big shop, so no one will go there to cause trouble.
"Sir! There is a letter from Hejian Mansion!" Manager Chen reported outside the study door.
Gu Chengyu was a little confused, Hejian Mansion? Could it be that something went wrong at Hua Lian's place?
"Come in!" Gu Chengyu turned around and took the letter from Manager Chen.
"It was the people from the Escort Bureau who rushed over to deliver it." Manager Chen had just sent the people from the Escort Agency away and quickly delivered the letter.
Gu Chengyu looked at the beautiful regular script on the outer envelope. It should have been written by a woman.
Could it be written by the D-generation girl who was sent to look after Hua Lian?
He opened the wax on the letter, unfolded the paper, and read the signature first.
Looking at it suddenly, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. The signature turned out to be Guo Moruo. Focusing his attention on the content in front, Gu Chengyu read it carefully from beginning to end.
In just a few moments, Gu Chengyu read all the contents!
This letter was very short and contained not much. But in this short content, Gu Chengyu got a lot of information and was shocked by it.
This letter has nothing to do with Hualien, but the information between the lines is much more important than Hualien.
"Treasure map?" He frowned and thought for a while, remembering the assassination of the eldest prince a few days ago.
According to the imperial doctor, the eldest prince was seriously injured at the time, but he was worthy of being the son of a true dragon, and the danger was finally saved.
Anyway, in other words, the eldest prince looked serious at the time, but in fact it was not that dangerous and he just needed to lie down and recuperate.
At that time, he was still curious about the purpose of the eldest prince going to Hejian Mansion. If it was just a family extermination case, the eldest prince would not go there in person.
Unexpectedly, it was because of this treasure map, which was said to be Wang Mang's treasure. Gu Chengyu was indeed shocked when he saw the news, but he was even more surprised by how Guo Moruo learned about it?
With Guo Moruo's current situation, his life is similar to that of those small landowners. He has no worries about food and clothing, and he lives a prosperous life, but that's all.
But where did she get the news? Not many people know about such a secret thing.
Except for the local noble families and the princes in the capital, no one should know about it.
Gu Chengyu touched his chin, and he thought of a possibility. The Guo family had some trump cards in the end.
How could Mr. Guo, a shrewd person like him, let his children and grandchildren end up in the countryside? When the incident happened, he was probably already planning a back-up plan.
However, this Miss Guo is also very calm, and she is very much like Mr. Guo at heart, a shrewd person.
"Ming Yan, you go to Hejian Mansion tomorrow and take care of Hua Lian's affairs."
Gu Chengyu thought of Hua Lian who was still locked up, and felt that it would not be a problem to keep him locked up. Gu Changbai's matter had been resolved, and the matter was temporarily settled.
"Sir! What do you mean?" Ming Yan glanced at Gu Chengyu, not knowing how to deal with this Hua Lian.
"Ask her what she means! If she is willing to marry, find a place farther away for her to marry, and I will give her three hundred taels of silver as her dowry. If she refuses to marry, you can send her back to the village.
Nanfu, leave it to the second old man to take care of it."
Gu Chengyu didn't want to have anything to do with Hua Lian anymore, so she could just send him away and stop hanging around in front of him.
"Ah? Didn't your Excellency say that she and the Second Old Master should not be allowed to recognize each other?" Ming Yan was a little puzzled. Your Excellency did say that before.
"One moment and another, the matter had not been resolved at that time, and we did not know their purpose, so of course we could not let them recognize each other. Now I am afraid that Prince Jing has not taken these people seriously for a long time, so we should also use
Don't be so arrogant. Didn't my second uncle always want to take my granddaughter back? Then let him take her back."
Gu Chengyu sneered, lest Gu Changbai think that he had hidden Hua Lian and that there was an awkward relationship between the two.
"If she has other plans, you should satisfy her. I will only give you three hundred taels of silver. You let her decide what to do! However, you have to make it clear to her. This matter ends here. Regardless of her
No matter what the choice is, even if she comes to the capital in the future, she will have nothing to do with me."
Gu Chengyu has made up his mind that if she returns to Yingnan Mansion, he will not allow her to return to the capital. If she chooses to get married or something else, she cannot contact him in the name of his niece.
In fact, if Hua Lian had a relationship with him, it goes without saying that he would be taken advantage of by others. It would be better for both of them to be separate.
"Yes! I understand what my lord means, so I will tell you clearly!" Ming Yan understood what his lord meant. He didn't want to have any more relations, so they broke it off completely.
"In addition, you are going to bring some things to Miss Guo and the others this time. You agreed to take care of them, so naturally you can't just leave them alone. I will write another handwritten letter and you will give it to Miss Guo."
Gu Chengyu thought for a while and decided to reply a letter.
Guo Moruo told him this just because he wanted to seek his own asylum!
Anyway, this treasure map was not what Guo Moruo could imagine, so it would be better to use it as a personal favor.
In addition, it reminded him not to forget his original promise, and showed a little of his trump card to show that he was still of some use, so it was not considered asking for help.
What Gu Chengyu is really thinking about right now is naturally the treasure map. There are too many people involved in this matter. Even the emperor has sent people to Hejian Mansion. Sooner or later, the treasure map will be known to the emperor.
It is not appropriate for him to interfere in this matter. He is not capable enough, so he should not commit suicide by himself.
"Hejian Mansion has released a treasure map. You can bring a few more people there this time and leave them in Hejian Mansion to find out the news."
Although he didn't intend to interfere, he still had to know the progress of this matter. Otherwise, if he didn't know the direction of the wind, he would be confused when doing things in the future.
"Treasure map?" Ming Mo and Ming Yan were also shocked, and then they showed ambitious expressions of surprise.
Gu Chengyu knew what they were thinking at a glance, and he probably misunderstood what he meant.
"Don't think about the treasure map. We can't afford to offend the people who snatched the treasure map this time. After you go, just leave someone behind to find out the information. There is no need to get involved."
Gu Chengyu was not interested in treasure maps at all.
This thing is very fiddly. Even if you get it, you will inevitably find it without being discovered when you look for the treasure in the future.
Besides, he didn't lack money, so what did he want with the treasure map? He didn't have to make a fuss.
As soon as these words came out, Gu Chengyu found that Ming Yan and the others were as listless as deflated balloons.
"Sir! That's a treasure map!" Ming Yan's eyes almost turned into ingot shapes. He couldn't believe that his lord was not moved at all.
"I'm afraid I'll take my life, but I'll lose my life!" Gu Chengyu rolled his eyes at them, turned around and kicked them out.
"What? You said there is a treasure map in Hejian Mansion?" The third prince's eyes were as big as copper bells. He was a little unbelievable. He wanted to chat with more like-minded people about the peasant family's road to getting rich, follow the imperial examination on WeChat
