The old butler next to him waved his hand, and several servants came and dragged the shouting Gao Xingxing out.
The old housekeeper stepped forward and said: "Master, what the young master said is not unreasonable. This matter... the young lady is completely voluntary. Even if she goes to His Majesty to make trouble, with the way of Sikong Mansion, I'm afraid it won't be true."
Let Changsun Chong marry the young lady!"
Gao Shilian nodded helplessly.
Although he was a military commander, he was a coward at heart.
He sighed: "Changsun Chong bullies people too much, but he has the Sikong Mansion and the Queen's support behind him. If the matter gets bigger, it will not only be useless, but will damage Liyun's reputation. But if we stop here, wouldn't it mean that I am afraid?
Changsun Wuji, how do my colleagues in the DPRK and China view me...this matter...this fact is difficult to deal with!"
At this moment, a young man came in and said, "Master, there is someone visiting you outside!"
Gao Shilian asked curiously: "Who is visiting?"
"It's Du He, the uncle of Huyi County!"
Gao Shilian rubbed his eyes and said: "No, I have never had much contact with Du He. This man often behaves unexpectedly, and most of the ministers in the court who had contact with him were framed by him. At this moment, I am Li
Yun Zhi is very busy with his affairs. If he wants to see him, he can just say that I am not at home and send him away!"
The boy was about to turn around and leave when he heard the old housekeeper say: "Master, why don't we meet him!"
"Oh? Why?"
The old housekeeper smiled and said: "Master, you are really confused. Du He has never had any contact with Xu Guogong's house. Du He suddenly came to visit him this early in the morning. It must be something urgent. No matter what his purpose is, this person enjoys great privileges in Chang'an.
The Great Demon King is known for his many tricks, so regarding this matter... I might as well ask him for advice, maybe he can come up with something!"
When Gao Shilian heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, he slapped his hand on the table, and stood up excitedly: "Yes, why didn't I expect that? The Sikong Mansion was arrogant and domineering, but after meeting Du He, he...
I've stumbled, yes, yes, you're right...let Du He come in...no, no, no, I'll go and greet Du He personally."
With that said, Gao Shilian hurriedly came to the gate without having time to dress up.
As soon as he saw Du He, he said happily: "Oh, Mr. Huyi County, rare visitor, rare visitor!"
Du He was stunned when he saw Gao Shilian's enthusiasm, and then greeted him familiarly.
Gao Shilian welcomed Du He into the lobby and quickly ordered people to prepare tea.
After the tea came up, Gao Shilian introduced it enthusiastically: "This is the tea that I went to your Dream Group to buy. After drinking this refreshing tea, I never want to drink the same tea as before. Everyone says,
You, Du He, are the best in the world, and now it seems that you are probably pretty good."
Du He said with a smile: "Master Gao has given me a compliment. I feel sorry for disturbing you. However, this matter is of great importance, so I have to come and inform Master Gao."
"Oh, what's so urgent? I asked your husband from Huyi County to visit me early in the morning."
Du He leaned close to Gao Shilian's ear and whispered: "Yesterday after the Mid-Autumn Festival poetry meeting, I had a quick meeting with Changsun Chong, but I heard the boy praising Miss Gao for her unparalleled beauty and that she was a rare woman in the world.
If I can marry Miss Gao, it will be a blessing that I have cultivated for three lifetimes!"
Gao Shilian's eyes widened and he asked in disbelief: "Then Changsun Chong, did you really say that?"
Du He nodded: "It's absolutely true, I heard it with my own ears."
When it comes to Du He's ability to deceive people, he is truly top notch in the Tang Dynasty.
A few words turned Gao Shilianhu around.
Gao Shilian said excitedly: "Oh, it's better now, Liyun... Liyun is saved."
With that said, he looked at Du He and said: "Du He, I know your tricks... Oh no, you are extremely smart and have fought against Sikong Mansion many times. Now, I have something to ask of you."
"Master Gao is polite, but if you have something to do, you will do your best." Du He said with a smile.
Gao Shilian stood up, bowed to Du He, and said: "Please be sure to save my daughter's life. I think you have heard about what happened yesterday. That little beast Changsun Chong insulted my daughter. Now, there is only one way to go."
, that is to let the Sikong Mansion marry Liyun, otherwise how will Liyun deal with it, and where will the face of my Duke Xu's Mansion be. As long as you can help me with this matter, from now on, the Duke Xu's Mansion is willing to listen to your orders!"
Du He stood up and said hurriedly: "Master Gao said something harsh, but I do have a plan for this matter. I just need Master Gao to cooperate as much as possible."
"Please say!"
The two sat down and Du He briefly explained his plan in a low voice.
Snapped.
After hearing this, Gao Shilian was so excited that he slammed the table: "Wonderful, wonderful, why didn't I think of that? Du He, you are really my brother... No, you are really my good nephew. Du He and I
We are officials in the same court, and we have been friends for many years. My good nephew, you have helped me a lot this time."
Then I saw him waving his hand: "Come here, put the wine on the table and kill a cow secretly. I heard that Du He likes beef the most. I will treat him to a beef meal today..."
But Du He hurriedly stopped him and said: "Uncle Gao, killing cattle is against the law. We can't make mistakes. I will do my best on this matter. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Gao Shilian enthusiastically sent Du He to the gate.
Du He left in a carriage, but he didn't have time to deliver the gifts prepared in the carriage.
At the gate, watching Du He's carriage leave, Gao Shilian said: "Who said Du He belongs to the Great Demon King? He is a good boy. Liyun, we are saved this time, and the face of Duke Xu's palace has been saved!"
The old housekeeper was standing aside and suddenly said curiously: "Master, didn't you realize that Du He came to the house on his own initiative just for this matter? Don't you think it's a little strange?"
"What's weird? Du He has coveted Princess Changle for a long time. He heard that he wanted to marry Princess Runan and Princess Changle. Of course he didn't want to marry Princess Changle to Sikong... Oh no... I was fooled..." Gao Shilian said this
, suddenly reacted and slapped his thigh, "This brat, who is so eloquent, actually got me in. He didn't mean to help at all, but wanted Changsun Chong to marry Liyun and never win Princess Changle again. This way
As soon as he came, his goal was achieved... Oops, I think that Gao Shilian, a dignified official, was actually fooled by this kid's few words. It's really... it's really..."
The old housekeeper asked curiously: "Isn't this a good thing? Master, as long as the Sikong Mansion can marry the young lady, what other matters do we care about?"
Gao Shilian gritted his teeth and said: "That's right, it's true. However, this matter is clearly about Du He trying to achieve his own goal, but in the end it seems like we are asking him for help. It's really embarrassing to think about it... I have been famous all my life.
I was fooled around by Du He, and in the end I was used as a gunman by him, ugh... I feel a little unhappy when I think about it!"
