196 Qingming Festival
Luo Rongxuan sat on the chair motionless.
Gu Yan sighed helplessly after reading the book for a long time.
"Idiot, you don't think about it. Even if I give you two secret guards, your royal palace will be under the surveillance of the emperor. How can he not know your little actions? I'm afraid that the secret guard who sent you will be destroyed by the emperor before he can arrive at the royal palace. At that time, the emperor will definitely doubt whether Prince An wants to rebel or has other purposes. It's better to change another way than to do this."
Luo Rongxuan's eyes lit up, and he lay on the table and stared at Gu Yan's face next to him.
The boss is so powerful that he is worried that he can't develop his own personnel, so she gave him some advice in such a short time.
"The emperor is in good health. As long as your four cousins are honest, they have never thought of usurping the throne to pirate them to death. I see that it will be fine within ten years. In this case, you will have ten years to do something.
First, most of the income of the royal palace is rewarded by the emperor, and the smallest part is based on the property placed by Prince An and Prince An. These are not enough. If there is something wrong, these things will not be left. Therefore, you must have your own industry and your own income. Once there is something wrong, you will not be able to eat nothing."
Luo Rongxuan nodded immediately, "This time I just wanted to open a shop and asked for the money from my father. It seems that I'm doing it right."
Luo Rongxuan was a little complacent, and his eyes narrowed into a slit.
Gu Yan shook her head as if she was idiot, and continued, "Part 2, privately, just avoid everyone, let's talk to you two servants, go to the dilapidated temple in the suburbs of Beijing to take a look. It's best to find two children with better qualifications to adopt them. If you find someone, I'll help you train them to become secret guards."
Luo Rongxuan was even happier, so he simply ran to Gu Yan and squatted on the ground and stared straight at Gu Yan.
"Really? Can you help me?"
Gu Yan nodded, "I can help you, but what are you going to exchange for? My help is likely to expose myself, and I have to be responsible for my people."
Luo Rongxuan waved his hand indifferently, "It's easy to say. I'll go home and go to my mother and ask her to come out of the dowry. Besides, my father knows that you have a secret guard on your hands, but he doesn't care at all, nor does he tell the emperor and uncle."
Gu Yan sneered.
"The reason why Prince An doesn't say it is because most of the houses in the capital have secret guards. In his heart, the royal secret guards are much better than those of us inexperienced secret guards, so they don't care. In addition, don't underestimate your father. You'd better go back and tell your father what you think. He can give you the best advice."
Prince An is not an ordinary person. According to her understanding, Prince An is not as playful as he looks. Although the secret son in Prince An’s hand has not been found, he could have splashed Prince An’s house like an iron bucket and could not pour water into it, which means he has a ravine in his heart and is not a lamb to be slaughtered.
If she was right, most of the secret guards in Prince An's mansion had betrayed Emperor Wen of Wei, leaving only a small part to report to Emperor Wen of Wei, and the rest were all Prince An's confidants. Otherwise, how could he feel at ease to put his favorite woman and his only son under someone else's guillotine? Even if that person is his elder brother, it would be impossible.
Perhaps it was Emperor Wen of Wei who agreed to keep his younger brother and nephew alive in a hundred years.
Gu Yan thought of this and narrowed her eyes and looked at the five straight secret guards standing in the yard.
These five are also Prince An’s people, right? Otherwise, Prince An would not be assured to hand over his son to them.
The five people were aware of it and looked back at the house. When they saw Gu Yan lowering her head to read a book, Luo Rongxuan was walking around and saying something. The five people looked at each other again and continued to be alert.
"You mean, my father has his own men? How could he have it? Could it be that he has a strange intention? No? My father is just a playboy, and I learned the food, drink, and entertainment from my father. He wouldn't have such a scheming? If you hadn't woken up me and I was still living in a daze, how could he be as smart as me? He stared at my mother every day, so how could he think so much? No, I don't believe it, he can't..."
Gu Yan didn't say anything, let Luo Rongxuan whisper and said that Prince An would step Prince An down the ground without him being scheming.
Gu Yan rolled her eyes secretly.
Prince An loves Prince An so much, so he is not afraid that someone will bully her if he dies? He is worried that Prince An will suffer, so he will keep a backup plan. At least he can save Prince An and Luo Rongxuan's lives after his death.
Luo Rongxuan muttered for a long time, and finally stood there and stopped talking. He sighed after a long time.
"Maybe what you are right. My unreliable father doesn't care about me, he won't care about my mother. In his heart, no one is as important as my mother. He must have his own means to protect my mother."
Luo Rongxuan lowered his head a little uneasy, sat on the chair, leaning his knees on both hands to cover his face.
Gu Yan looked at Luo Rongxuan with a complicated expression, feeling that he was very pitiful now, as helpless as an abandoned child, full of powerlessness and panic about the future.
Gu Yan couldn't help but reflect, was she doing something wrong? Prince An would not let him ignore it. If one day he was in danger, the backup move left by Prince An would definitely save him. Is it really good to make him like this now?
No, she is right. Prince An is Prince An, he is him. Even if those backs can save him, he cannot save him for a lifetime. If he does not grow up, he will not stand up by himself. What will be waiting for him will be endless darkness. At that time, he will be even more sad. It is better to let him grow up as soon as possible to face all this.
Gu Yan patted Luo Rongxuan on the back, "It's okay, everything is still there. If I do your own thing first, let yourself become stronger slowly, and let the others talk about it later. By the way, I suggest you don't change too much, so as not to be suspicious."
Luo Rongxuan nodded and said nothing, but Gu Yan could see that he was very sad.
Gu Yan frowned, "Are you sad that Prince An is not considering you?"
Luo Rongxuan didn't say or move. His thrust shoulders made Gu Yan's eyebrows tightly frown together.
"Believe me, he has considered you, otherwise he would not have taken you on the path of playing tricks in person."
No matter how many Gu Yan said, she hoped that Luo Rongxuan could figure it out by herself, think of everything Prince An did for him and the painstaking efforts he put into, rather than learning from an outsider about how Prince An was good to him.
Luo Rongxuan didn't say anything, and Gu Yan once again left him alone in the study.
Gu Yan didn't pay attention to when Luo Rongxuan left. She hid at Tang's place and slept for a while. Gu An, who wanted to hold his wife and sleep for a while after returning home from lunch, gritted his teeth in anger.
On the fifth day of the April 1st, the weather is clear and cloudless. Not only will each household go to the suburbs to visit the tombs and worship his ancestors, but Emperor Wen of Wei is no exception. Therefore, today all officials are rarely resting at home at the same time, and there are too many carriages in the streets and alleys that cannot move.
Fortunately, Tang was prepared and asked the carriage to drive out early and parked at the inner city gate to wait for them. Gu An and his family of four rode to Dingyuan Hou Mansion. Under the auspices of old Dingyuan Hou Gu Shuyu, they opened a ancestral hall to worship. Then they went to the suburbs to visit the tombs with the people of Dingyuan Hou Mansion.
Gu Yan rode the sweat-blooded horse that Luo Rongxuan stolen from the emperor, red clouds, on the street. Under the silver mask was a pair of cold eyes. It was indifferent and ruthless, and regarded human life as nothing. It was calm and cold. Nothing in the world could touch it. It was like a pool of stagnant water, without any waves.
Gu Yan urged the horse to move forward, and Gu An next to him couldn't help but shake his head and sigh when he looked at her.
If you don’t love red makeup, you will be forced to wear horseback clothes. Girls always wear curtains when they go out on the streets, but his daughter is so nice. She wears a cold mask. It’s fine, but you look like you smile! Who can you show me the cold face?
"Daughter, can we smile?"
Gu An couldn't help it anymore and approached Gu Yan and asked in a low voice.
Gu Yan turned his head in surprise and looked at Gu An, "Isn't it Qingming today?"
Did she remember it wrong? She was still laughing on such days? She was so damn good! Isn’t her father afraid of being criticized? He wasn’t afraid of her but she was still afraid! She didn’t do anything about letting others rub their backs behind her back.
Gu An choked and stopped talking.
Down, who was sitting in front of Gu Anma, covered his mouth and laughed in a bad mood, "It's time!"
Hearing his wife scolding him in a low voice, Gu An frowned, and his hand holding Tang's waist tightened again, making her whole back press against him.
Tang's face was blushed by Gu An's sudden behavior. Fortunately, the weather is good today, the sun is big, and the sun is enough. Everyone's face is red. If you don't pay attention, no one will care too much, otherwise people would have seen her uncomfortable.
The group quickly left the city, and Gu Yan and Tang successfully got on the carriage and followed the people of Dingyuan Hou Mansion to visit the graves.
The ancestral tomb of the Dingyuan Houfu family had moved from their hometown to the suburbs of Beijing. Every year, they came to visit the tombs during the Qingming Festival. In addition, the Dingyuan Houfu bought a farm nearby for people to guard the tombs, so the cemetery was cleaned very clean. They came to sing incense sticks, kowtowed a few times, and burned some paper money, so the rest was nothing else.
The grave sweeping was very smooth, and no one was acting like a demon on this day. Even the old Qu followed Gu Shuyu quietly and did not speak, so the others would not make trouble.
The group had lunch at the village and did not leave until the afternoon to return to Beijing. Gu An's family did not go back, so they had dinner at Dingyuan Hou Mansion before leaving.
The next day was the day when Yao Huijie and Liu Jia invited Gu Yan to go out. She had already agreed with the two of them to go together on this day, so Gu Yan was ready early in the morning and waited for Liu Jia and Yao Huijie to come.
Yao Huijie is eight years old this year, and her round body is starting to get sucked. She has grown a lot taller in the past two years, and the baby fat on her face is still there, and she still looks so cute.
When Yao Huijie was just entering the door, they were all noble girls in Beijing. Of course, they had seen each other before, but everyone had their own circle and they had never spoken. Besides, Yao Huijie was young and couldn't talk to Liu Jia, so Gu Yan didn't dislike her, and she was having fun talking to her.
Liu Jia is also a carefree person. Although there are delicate parts, there are not so many details. It can be seen that Mrs. Liu, Gong, raised her very well.
When Liu Jia saw Yao Huijie, she couldn't help but look at her, then pinched her cheek with her little hand and twisted her fingers in the shock of the little girl, "The skin is so good, alas! I feel old when I see you."
Yao Huijie blinked and realized that she was teasing.
Yao Huijie has brought her in the past two years of contact with Gu Yan, which is much more enjoyable than ordinary ladies, and she is quite a bit like a strong woman in later generations. She is not annoyed when she saw Liu Jia teasing her, and pinched Liu Jia's cheek with her backhand.
Yao Huijie was extremely fast. She pinched her hands and let go. She put it under her nose and sniffed it. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
"Sister is so fragrant. Although Sister Yan has a pleasant smell on her body, she doesn't smell it. Every time she smells a fragrance, I have no sense of smell. My sister still smells it."
The little girl could speak, and she praised Gu Yan and Liu Jia in a few words. Although Gu Yan looked at her without saying anything, she slightly picked the corners of her mouth and showed a pleasant smile.
Mo Xiang glanced at Gu Yan silently, then glanced at Yao Huijie, and twitched his lips, turning his head to stop looking at them.
The master is going to make trouble again, but he doesn't know who will be unlucky today.
Liu Jia was stunned for a while before coming back to her senses, pointed at Yao Huijie and said to Gu Yan, "Is this being teased by her?"
Gu Yan pursed her lips, "Didn't you do it first?"
Liu Jia twitched the corner of her mouth, "I like her that's it."
Yao Huijie took the conversation quickly, "I like Sister Liu very much, too!"
Liu Jia raised her eyebrows, "Really?"
Yao Huijie nodded vigorously, "Really, I like my sister very much."
Liu Jia also learned from Yao Huijie and nodded vigorously, "I also like Huijie, I like that kind very much."
But in a moment, the two of them got together and turned around and threw Gu Yan aside.
Gu Yan touched her chin and watched the two talk and laugh thoughtfully.
This scene is so familiar, where have she seen it?
Gu Yan narrowed her eyes and looked at the two people who were having a good time, and suddenly thought of Gu Xin. Yao Huijie was the same when she first saw Gu Xin. The two of them said something together without saying a few words and threw her aside.
Gu Yan suddenly found it funny.
After a long time of trouble, she just made a matchmaker. If she became a matchmaker, would she earn a lot of money? This profession should be very suitable for her.
The three of them set off quickly. Yao Huijie and Liu Jia were having fun chatting and no longer sat separately. They all squeezed into Gu Yan's carriage. Her carriage was fast and stable, and the place was large, so it was easy to sit down the three of them.
"Sister Yan's carriage is so big, it's not too bad."
Yao Huijie looked around enviously, her eyes clear without a trace of jealousy.
Gu Yan glanced up and nodded secretly with satisfaction.
The little girl has grown up, but her character is still the same as when she was a child. She is not bad and has not been raised.
Liu Jia also touched around and curled her lips enviously, "Yan'er, you are not interested enough. You don't even say that you have such a good carriage. Now you are here to be honest. Where did you do it? I want to make one too."
Liu Jia grinned and compared her fists, making a fierce look, as if Gu Yan was about to beat her up without saying anything.
Gu Yan raised her eyebrows, "You can't beat me."
Liu Jia suddenly became depressed, leaning on her jaw listlessly, and pouting her mouth and blinking at Gu Yan.
