Chapter 150 Domineering short protection (one more)
Gu Jiao didn't know, she was just guessing.
The token was picked up by Xue Ningxiang from the place where Xiao Liulang fainted. The beautiful monk and the three imperial concubines said that it was a token of the Xuanping Hou Mansion and should not be mistaken.
This person is also called Master Xiao Liulang.
Combining a series of information, there is the sentence that asked Guan Shi Liu earlier.
Guanshi Liu came to see her this time, intending to use her hand to persuade the young master to return to the mansion. He did not intend to conceal his identity, so he answered truthfully: ”Yes, the young master is the young master of Xuanping Houfu.”
Gu Jiao digested it: ”Oh.”
Oh?
Guan Shi is puzzled, isn’t it the first time you have heard of it? This reaction is too calm!
Gu Jiao is not a person who values her identity. It makes no difference to her whether Xiao Liulang is the master of the Xuanping Hou’s Mansion or a subordinate.
However, there is one thing she doesn’t know.
”Since he is the young master of Xuanping Hou's Mansion, why don't he want to go back with you?”
It’s not that she deliberately inquired about each other’s secrets, but that someone came to her. She couldn’t help but sell her husband.
Guan Shi sighed: ”It's a long story at this time. If Mrs. Young is not in a hurry, can you go to the tea shop to sit down?”
There was a tea shop next to , Gu Jiao did not refuse, and went with Guan Shi Liu.
Guan Shi secretly said, this young lady's brain is not good enough, just left with strangers like this? No need to look at his token or something?
If Guan Shi knows Gu Jiao's abilities, he should be worried.
Guanshi Liu only didn't care about Gu Jiao, but he didn't have any bad intentions, and he didn't want to break up the young couple in the past.
I believe that Master Hou would not do this either.
Hou Ye himself is strong enough, he does not need to rely on his son to marry him, to consolidate the relationship between Xuanping Hou Mansion and the major families.
As for whether the identity is worthy of...
Although she grew up in the country, she is a dignified daughter of the Hou Mansion, with this young master... barely make a living!
Guan Shi asked for a wing room on the second floor.
Facing the street, open the window to see the endless stream of Xuanwu Street.
The two sat down face to face, and Guan Shi asked, ”Does Madam Young like Biluochun or Longjing tea?”
”It doesn't matter.” Gu Jiao said.
Guan Shi smiled and made a pot of Longjing tea: ”This is this year's new tea.”
Gu Jiao didn't catch a cold with tea, so she poured some cold water into it and drank it all at once.
She is indeed thirsty.
Liu Guanshi looked dumbfounded.
The young master is a wonderful work, and the young lady who marries is not too much.
”Let's talk, business.” Gu Jiao said calmly.
”Hey!” Guan Liu returned to his senses, sighed, and explained Xiao Liulang's life experience, ”Actually... the young master is the illegitimate son of Hou Ye.”
This matter has to start from the eighteenth or nineteenth years ago when Lord Hou went to the south of the Yangtze River.
A major flood occurred in the south of the Yangtze River that year, which destroyed thousands of acres of fertile fields and displaced people. The reason was not only a natural disaster but also a man-made disaster.
”The money used by the imperial court to build the dam was embezzled by local officials, cutting corners on the dam, which failed to stop the flood and caused irreparable losses.”
At that time, Lord Hou was not as powerful as he is now. His Majesty sent him to the south of the Yangtze River to investigate the truth of the dam. The local snakes tried to bribe Lord Hou to hide the truth from him.
Master Hou did not stay with them, but was retaliated by them. On the way back to Beijing, he was stabbed seven or eight times by the assassin.
”I remember it was near Song County.” Guanshi Liu recalled.
In charge of Liu, he followed Xuan Pinghou when he was young. He was one of the few people who accompanied him for half of the fight. However, he was sent to another place by Hou Ye for more than a decade. He was called back by Hou Ye last year.
”There is no medical clinic in that place. After Lord Hou was injured, he found a doctor nearby. Because of his serious injury, he had to live in the doctor's house.”
The doctor’s medical skills were not very clever. Although he saved his life, he left the root cause of Xuan Pinghou's disease. Of course, this is something to follow.
Xuan Pinghou was recovering from an injury at the doctor’s house, and there was a family of three living next door. The male owner was a gambler and drunkard, and his youngest son was only a few years old.
Xuan Pinghou can hear men beating and scolding women and children almost every day, but this is other people’s housework, and Xuan Pinghou is not easy to manage.
Unexpectedly, once, a man bet money to lose the child to someone else. The woman hugged the man’s thigh and begged the man not to take the child away. The man punched and kicked the woman, almost beating the woman to death.
Xuan Pinghou, who was next door, couldn't bear it, and he was young and vigorous at that time, so he rushed over and cut the man with a sword.
The man was seriously injured and died.
The woman became a widow.
Xuanping Hou saw her being pitiful and gave her some money.
It is also a coincidence that the doctor’s relatives are victims of floods, and they drag their families to join the doctor.
The doctor has no place to live at home, and Xuan Pinghou wants to heal his injuries and cannot go too far.
”If you don't dislike it, come to my house,” the woman said.
After that, Guan Shi doesn’t have to say anything about it, Gu Jiao can also make up for it on her own.
”Master Hou lived there for half a year until the injury was completely healed. Master Hou asked her if she wanted to go to Beijing with him, and she hesitated. Master Hou didn't like to force others, so he gave her a token and told her if I figured it out, go to the capital to find her at any time.”
Guan Shi sighed: ”Oh, Lord Hou...I still don't know women well.”
Gu Jiao is not a party and does not make an evaluation.
Guan Shi said: ”This difference is for many years. If it weren't for the young master to come to Hou Ye with the token and Hou Ye's clothes four years ago, Hou Ye didn’t know that she was pregnant and gave birth secretly. Their son.”
Gu Jiao asked, ”You mean, Xiao Liulang only went to the capital four years ago?”
Guan Shi: ”Yes.”
Gu Jiao: ”Has he lived in the capital for a long time?”
