Chapter 523 Final(1/2)
In Song Mo's study, Lu Ming was whispering to Song Mo: "...I only put a few people who usually sweep the floor and water the flowers in Xixiangyuan, and others who had served the Duke close to him were dealt with. Especially Chang Guard and Zeng Wu, who threw the body into the river with their own hands, carrying all the silver bills and bags. Even if someone found out, he thought he had fallen into the water and would definitely not suspect anything else. The pottery was too exhausted because of the fatigue of the carriage and horse, and died of illness on the way back to his hometown."
Song Mo has always been relieved when Lu Ming does things.
He nodded slightly and smiled, "I have nothing to do here, what are your plans? It's not difficult to go to Jinyiwei or Shenji Camp. Wuyi also followed Zhao Liangbi to do business, but look at your temperament, you are not a businessman."
Lu Ming smiled embarrassedly and said, "I'd better stay in the mansion like Master Duan!"
There are people around the prince who do dirty things for him. He has become accustomed to such a life and does not want to go to the garrison to be controlled by others.
Song Mo is indeed indispensable. Since he said this, Song Mo did not force himself to not mention this matter anymore.
A few days later, the imperial edict came down.
Gu Yu gave Jingtai.
Duke Xingguo asked for Princess Jingyi for his third son.
When the news came, Dou Zhao smiled slightly.
No wonder after the fall of the British Duke's Mansion, Duke Xingguo became the first in Gongxun.
It seems that the matter of King Liao was also discovered by Duke Xingguo's mansion, otherwise he would not have rejected his son Princess Shang Jingyi.
Now that the King of Liao is defeated, the emperor is still thinking about Empress Wan, feeling sorry for Princess Jingyi, and the prince is having a headache about this matter. At this time, Princess Xingguo took the initiative to marry Princess Jingyi, which became the main concern.
Thinking that Princess Jingyi's wedding date was scheduled on the tenth day of September and Gu Yu's wedding date was scheduled on the twelfth day of September, she discussed Song Mo: "Would we add more than usual to the gifts of the Duke Xingguo Mansion?"
Song Mo also saw the power of the Duke Xingguo Mansion at this time, and thought about it, and said, "Then add 30%."
Dou Zhao ordered.
Song Mo asked Gu Yu about his marriage: "What's going on in Yunyang's Mansion?"
Gu Yu was still on the way back to Kyoto from Tianjin, but Yunyang Bo Mansion had received the order, and all the in-laws came to congratulate him. Dou Zhao had only been to Yunyang Bo Mansion in the morning.
"Since Cui Yijun came to the door to send a message to Yunyang Uncle Mansion, Gu Yu's stepmother has now completely wilted like frost and has been pretending to be sick in bed." She smiled, "The person who hosted Yunyang Uncle is Gu Yu's second aunt, who seems to be smart. All the things that Gu Yucheng personally buys are the best."
Anyway, Gu Yu's wedding fee will be gone from the public. She will pay a penny if she uses too much, and she will not get a penny if she uses less. It would be better to take it out quickly, do things well and earn a reputation for being virtuous.
Song Mo breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I still have to think about it, what if the task is not done well over there, I will find a way to give him some face!"
Dou Zhao knew that the person Song Mo couldn't let go of the most is Gu Yu. She comforted Song Mo: "It can be seen that Gu Yu is a lucky person. He always encounters good things at critical moments."
Song Mo nodded with a smile.
Gu Yu returned to Kyoto and had not yet returned to Yunyang's mansion to the Duke of England's mansion.
When he saw Song Mo, he knelt down, took Song Mo's thigh and cried loudly.
Song Mo swore: "Empress Wan was indeed not killed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
Gu Yu nodded crying and said, "I know. She is so strong, how could she wink at others for the rest of her life... I just felt heartbroken and ended up like this."
Dou Zhao suddenly understood Gu Yu in his previous life.
Queen Wan and King Liao succeeded. He was as unhappy as he was.
Dou Zhao couldn't help but feel a little wet, thinking that he was also an arrogant person. His marriage in his previous life had been unhappy, and he was Princess Shang again in this life. I wonder if he would feel it was a kind of humiliation. He wanted to persuade him a few words, but he didn't know that it would start from the persuasion. He could only sigh quietly, turn around and ask the little maid to brew tea, jasmine tea that Gu Yu likes very much.
When Gu Yu became a relative, Dou Zhao and Song Mo held a banquet at home to entertain him and Princess Jingtai.
Princess Jingtai has a goose face, apricot eyes, and a delicate figure. She is a beauty. When sitting in the flower hall drinking tea with Dou Zhao, she would occasionally look up at Gu Yu who was talking to Song Mo outside the flower hall.
Dou Zhao's heart was relieved.
Princess Jingtai smiled and said, "Are you afraid that I will present the princess's brochure in front of my cousin?"
Dou Zhao didn't expect Princess Jingtai to call her cousin Gu Yu with Princess Jingyi, and she didn't expect Princess Jingtai to be so transparent and straightforward, with a slightly red face.
Jingtai Gongwei didn't care, and looked at Gu Yu outside the hall and laughed in a low voice: "You may not know that my cousin used to play in the palace, but we have known each other since childhood. Although his mouth was poisonous, his mind was good. I would have a rash on my body after eating almonds. Empress Wan's mother was in the world, so how could she remember these trivial things? Although my mother was good at dancing, she was just a concubine who had no power in her family and had no children. She always smiled in Kunning Palace. Once
My mother took me to pay my respects to Queen Wan. Queen Wan asked someone to bring me the newly made almond dew for me to drink, but I dared not to drink it. My cousin snatched the almond dew from me, saying that he was thirsty and asked the palace maid to serve me Longjing tea. Then I went to Kunning Palace again, and Queen Wan became soy milk after she appreciated the almond dew..." She said, lowering her eyelids, her voice seemed even lower, "For this, I will be grateful to him for the rest of my life and respect him for the rest of my life..."
There is one thing that no one knows.
When the mother started to worry about her marriage, she quietly prayed to Yue Lao, hoping that Queen Wan would be very merciful and let her give it to Gu Yu... She would definitely be as virtuous as Princess Yongping of Yongchengbo.
Dou Zhao was stunned.
Is this considered a mistake?
After seeing off Gu Yu and his wife, she told Song Mo about this and said curiously: "Don't Song Mo remember this?"
"I don't know." Song Mo also thought this matter was quite interesting, and said, "Gu Yu just felt that Jingtai was as capable as Shufei. It is said that a few days after she entered the house, the relatives of the Gu family praised her. Some relatives even said that they might as well let Jingtai come to preside over the Yunyang Mansion. Gu Yu's stepmother could no longer lie down and hurriedly said that she was fine. She wanted to take back the power to preside over the host, but Princess Jingtai told Uncle Yunyang in a few words and continued to let Gu Yu's second aunt preside over the mansion. Now Gu Yu's second aunt was not sure how close to Jingtai was, so she discussed everything with Jingtai and forced Gu Yu's stepmother to aside."
Dou Zhao opened his eyes wide and said, "Wouldn't Gu Yu be very happy?"
"Yeah!" Song Mo smiled, "He felt that he was not guilty of looking down on him when he was tit-for-tat to Mai Mangdi and his stepmother before. He was indeed too simple and rough."
Maybe this is the wife Gu Yu needs?
Dou Zhao laughed loudly.
Songluo walked in quickly with a look of another place and said, "Criminal Master, Madam, Prince Shen from Huichang Mansion is visiting."
Shen Qing?
Dou Zhao and Song Mo looked at each other.
What is he here to do?
Song Mo went to the flower hall.
As soon as Shen Qing saw him, he threw down the teacup and ran over: "Yantang, help me! My father wants me to go to Xishan Camp. You can find a way to get me to the Jinyiwei or Shenji Camp! Even if I owe you a favor, you can do whatever you want in the future!"
Song Mo rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Xishan Camp is also very good. I have an acquaintance there. I will write you an envelope and ask him to take care of you in the future..."
"Yantang, Yantang!" Shen Qing interrupted Song Mo's words and pulled Song Mo's sleeves and said, "Even if you have an acquaintance who is a tutor there, can he save me from fucking? You can't stand by death and refuse to save me. Am I better than Gu Yu? You have helped Gu Yu like that. You can't help me!"
Song Mo's heart was shocked and said, "Why did I help Gu Yu?"
Shen Qingdu said, "If it weren't for you, would Cui Yijun come forward to deliver a message to Yunyang Bo Mansion? You don't know that Gu Yu's stepmother has been lying in front of my mother, and just expecting my cousin to support her son. Now my mother knows that Gu Yu's thing is the prince's meaning, and she will never see Gu Yu's stepmother. Otherwise, Gu Yu's stepmother would be so easy to calm down!"
This is the first time Song Mo has heard of this.
Shen Qing said: "Do you help me? If you help me, I will find a way to let my mother suppress Gu Yu's stepmother!"
Song Mo said: "Without you, Jingtai can suppress Gu Yu's mother."
Shen Qing collapsed on the chair in disappointment.
Song Mo looked at it and was both angry and funny, and said, "You are so unwilling to go to Xishan Camp?"
"Yeah!" Shen Qing said with a bitter face, "We are just a relative of the foreigners, just enjoy happiness safely. Why bother with those nobles to compete for credit? My father was fascinated by wealth and no matter how high or low it is."
Song Mo listened and said, "Since you think so, I'll give you a try!"
Shen Qing jumped up suddenly: "Did you agree?"
Song Mo smiled and said, "I just agreed to give it a try."
"Oh, my father must listen to you." Shen Qing said happily, "My father envies you most for killing all the guards and putting people in the yard, saying that this is the real powerful family..." He said, hurriedly covering his mouth and said carefully, "I'm talking nonsense. You, just pretend you didn't hear it."
Song Mo punched Shen Qing in the shoulder: "Do whatever you should do!"
"Okay, okay, okay." Shen Qing ran away.
The next day, Song Mo went to Huichang Bo Mansion.
I don’t know what they said, but Shen Qing’s trip to Shanxi Daying was stranded.
Shen Qing was so excited that he sent two carts of gifts over.
But a few days later, Shen Qing was thrown to the Fujian General Office by Huichang Bo and served as a guerrilla general.
Shen Qing was so angry that his face turned blue, and he ran to Yizhitang to find Song Mo: "You don't keep your word, and you can still give me the gifts I give me. I bought it for you with my own private money."
Song Mo's expression was dull, and raised his eyebrows and told Chen He: "Give him back all the things that Prince Shen sent!"
When Shen Qing heard this, he squatted on the ground and cried: "I don't want you to return something, I want you to get me into the Jinyiwei!"
Song Mo asked Chen He to "invite" Shen Qing and his things out.
Dou Zhao asked him: "Is this appropriate? Although Shen Qing has a child's personality, children will always grow up."
"I have my own arrangements for this matter." Song Mo kept it aside and touched her belly and said, "Are the child good?"
"I turn over every afternoon, and I'm too lazy to move at other times."
When the couple talked about their unborn children, they both had smiles between their eyebrows and eyes.
Soon, the wind began to feel a biting chill when it blew on its body.
The British Duke's Mansion also began to prepare for Dou Zhao's birth, and the Crown Princess even went to Yizhitang to visit Dou Zhao once.
A sudden news came out of Kyoto.
Huichangbo recommended that the governor of Yunnan Wang Xingyi be the governor of Fujian.
Although the position has not changed, it has more real power.
Dou Zhao looked at the withered leaves and was slightly stunned.
Song Mo smiled and put on a fur coat, saying, "Do you feel a little uncomfortable?"
