Chapter 92 Promotion (one more)

   Mrs. Gu Tai couldn't help but rejoice.

  Her sister Connie has been lucky since she was a child, she is loved by everyone, and gets along well with those nobles. I think Miss Wei Jiu is also a handkerchief for Sister Concubine.

   Mrs. Gu Tai smiled so deeply that there were deep wrinkles in the corners of her eyes, and told Bai Lu, "You go and tell Sister Concubine, let her come over quickly."

   Then, Mrs. Gu Tai smiled again and said to the Wang family: "Sister Chang is a likable person, and she is blessed." It is also a blessing for the Wang family to adopt sister Chang under the name of the Wang family.

Wang Shi was about to join in with a few words, when she saw Bai Lu's expression subtly explaining: "Mrs. Wei, Miss Wei Jiu is the second girl who came to look for Yuheng Garden, and the person has passed." She deliberately went to "Yuheng Garden" The volume of the three words was accentuated, indicating that the girl from the Duke of Wei's mansion was here to visit Gu Yanfei.

What? ! Mrs. Gu Tai and Mrs. Wang were startled again and looked at each other.

   Mrs. Gu Tai's heart was full of doubts, and for a moment, she wondered if she had heard it wrong.

Gu Yan has only been to Jingwang's mansion for less than two months since she came to the capital. Apart from a pretty face, she has no talent, no virtue, and she is mediocre. How to deal with a wild girl like Gu Yanfei? !

Pressing the doubts in her heart, Mrs. Gu Tai hurriedly gave a series of instructions: "Hurry up and take out my can of Longjing tea, and let the kitchen prepare some snacks that the girl likes to serve Wei Jiu later. girl."

   "Bai Lu, prepare me new clothes..."

  Mother Li, Bai Lu and the other maids hurriedly went down to prepare, and the Cihe Hall suddenly became busy. .

   Mrs. Gu Tai sighed at Wang Shi again: "Xinwen, I was worried that you and Lord Hou would not be able to enter the gate of the Guogong Mansion. Now that the Wei family girl is here, this is a great opportunity."

   "With the help of Miss Wei Jiu, you can't see the Duke of Wei, but you can always see Mrs. Shizi."

Because of the arrival of Miss Wei Jiu, Mrs. Gu Tai suddenly had a feeling of seeing the sun behind the clouds. She was in a good mood and changed into a bunch of new and luxurious clothes. She also matched a whole set of jewelry and wipes. Just waiting With Wei Jiu, she came to Cihetang to greet her.

   As a result, she waited and waited, but no one was there.

   After waiting for half an hour, Mrs. Gu Tai was a little tired, so she sent Bai Lu to Yuheng Garden to have a look.

  Don't want to, Bai Lu said back and forth: "Miss Wei Jiu went out with the second girl."

   Mrs. Gu Tai's face froze, she still held a glimmer of hope in her heart, and asked dryly, "Where are you going?"

   Maybe it was because of something urgent that I went out. Mrs. Gu Tai comforted herself in her heart.

Bai Lu bit her head and replied, "My servant heard from the people in Yuhengyuan that Miss Wei Jiu wants to go to Daqing Street to watch the juggling show in the Western Regions. The second girl said that the beauties from the Western Regions are all blond and blue-eyed, and they look better than juggling. They, They went together."

   These words were like pouring a bucket of cold water on Mrs. Gu Tai's head.

  The temperature in the Dongji room dropped suddenly, and it was so cold that it seemed to freeze people.

This is impossible!

  "..." Mrs. Gu Tai's hand was unsteady, the tea cup in her hand trembled slightly, and the hot tea overflowed the edge of the cup, making the back of her hand flush red.

  Gu Yanfei rode out on the sweaty horse that Mrs. Wei Guogong gave, and rode around the city for a day with Miss Wei Jiu, and then went back to their respective prefectures.

   When Shen Chu and Gu Yanfei returned to the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, in addition to the horse whip, he carried a large bow on his back.

   The tall and mighty red horse screamed "Huihui", pacing briskly on its four hooves, as if it was still unfinished.

   "Girl, your bow looks so beautiful." Juan Bi diligently took the bow that Gu Yanfei brought back, and looked at it curiously.

   This is a jet-black ox-horn bow, the body of which is five feet long, almost as high as the curly birch, which makes her especially petite, and the silver bowstring gleams in the sunlight.

"It's a good bow!" Gu Yanfei praised with a pleasant smile, leaping down from the high horse, as light as a flying swallow, "Jiao Niang agreed with me, we will go hunting together in a few days, and you are ready too. Prepare."

  The conversation between the master and the servant also got into the ears of Li Mammy who was not far away. Li Mammy tightened the handkerchief and was secretly shocked: The second girl looked very close to Weijiu girl.

   "Second girl," Li Mammy calmed down, walked forward with a smile on her legs that were stiff from standing for a long time, and blessedly said, "Mrs. Tai, please come to Cihetang."

   "Is something wrong?" Gu Yanfei gave Li Mammy a faint glance, and slender fingers plucked casually on the bowstring.

  The silver bowstring vibrated softly and hummed.

  Mother Li felt as if her heart had been plucked, and her attitude towards Gu Yanfei became more and more solemn, and said, "The eldest young master is also there."

   Big Brother is back! ! Gu Yanfei, who was still a little lazy at first, suddenly regained his energy and smiled in surprise, and his delicate little face burst into a dazzling brilliance that could not be looked down upon.

   "Jubilee, settle down Hongyu."

  Gu Yanfei casually threw the reins of the red horse to Juan Bi, and went to Cihetang with Mammy Li.

   Today's weather is very good, the sun is shining, the sky is blue and transparent, and occasionally a few sparrows fly by.

  Gu Yanfei also wished he had grown wings and walked briskly.

Along the way, Mammy Li said a few words to Gu Yanfei with a bit of goodwill. For example, the eldest young master just came back before a stick of incense, and he did not communicate to the mansion beforehand. For example, the eldest young master has grown a lot taller. , it's also dark, for example, Lord Hou is also in Cihetang...

  The people of Cihetang knew that Madam Tai was waiting for the second girl. From the moment Gu Yanfei entered the courtyard, the whole way was smooth.

   When he walked to the door curtain leading to the Dongci room, he heard a questioning voice from Mrs. Gu Tai from inside: "...Brother Yuan, why did you suddenly return to Beijing?"

  Gu Yanfei opened the curtain and walked in.

  The sound of the door curtain being lifted caused Mrs. Gu Tai, Gu Jian and Gu Yuan in the Dongci room to all look at her.

   "Sister!" Gu Yuan quickly stood up from the armchair.

   The look of the originally stern youth instantly softened, and he looked at Gu Yanfei with burning eyes.

   Today's Gu Yanfei was wearing a dress with light yellow embroidered peony flowers. This was a slim-fitting Hu suit, which made her slender and slender, and her whole person was in high spirits.

  Gu Yuan stared at Gu Yanfei without blinking.

   One month ago, the younger sister was as thin as bamboo, her face was faintly sallow, and her complexion was not good.

   I haven't seen her for a month, my sister has become more beautiful, she has grown taller, and her complexion has improved.

   Eyes like stars, skin like jade, Xiafei cheeks.

   She is like a half-open, half-waiting flower that gradually blooms in the sun...

   The corners of Gu Yuan's lips fluttered little by little, watching Gu Yanfei walking towards him, he couldn't bear to blink.

   "Sister, sit here." Gu Yuan pulled Gu Yanfei to sit down on the armchair beside him, and looked her up and down again, only to be relieved: As Wutong said, my sister has not suffered in Hou's house these days.

  Gu Yanfei is also looking at Gu Yuan, just like Li Ma said, Gu Yuan is tall and dark.

   When he pulled her left hand just now, she could clearly feel the rough calluses on his palm, and she could also feel a vibrant energy emanating from him.

  Her brother still followed in his father's footsteps as he did in his previous life.

   Gu Yanfei smiled sweetly, with soft brows.

   Mrs. Gu Tai, who was sitting on the kang, looked at the brother and sister quietly, her eyes were deep, and there was a low whisper from Mammy Li in her ears.

   Hearing that Gu Yanfei was going to go hunting with Miss Wei Jiu, Mrs. Gu Tai's eyes changed, a little surprised, a little puzzled, and a little different.

   After setting up his sister, Gu Yuan remembered to answer Mrs. Gu Tai's question just now: "Grandmother, I just received an order from the Ministry of War today. I was transferred back to the capital, and I will be transferred to the Shenji Camp."

  Shenji Battalion was founded by Emperor Taizu. It was one of the three major battalions of the Imperial Army. It was in charge of all kinds of firearms and was often guarded in the palace and the eastern coastal area.

  Like Jinyiwei, Shenji Camp is directly responsible to the emperor, and can be said to be the emperor's personal guard.

   "This is great news." Mrs. Gu Tai was surprised and delighted.

  Gu Jian blurted out in shock: "Really?"

   He clenched his fists unconsciously, his pupils closed, and there was a little bit of caution in his eyes.

   "The transfer order will take effect from today, and I will be promoted from a thousand generals to a thousand households." Gu Yuan said slowly and without arrogance, arrogant as frost.

  Qian is always a sixth-rank military attache, and Qianhu is a true fifth-ranking officer. Gu Yuan's order has surpassed the fifth-rank one, and it can be regarded as jumping two levels in a row.

   Besides, everyone knows the importance of the Shenji Camp. Gu Yuan was transferred from the Xishan Camp to the Shenji Camp, and he was promoted to another level invisibly.

   His promotion this time can be said to have skyrocketed. The top five thousand households in Shenji Ying are not the same, which means that he has officially entered the emperor's vision and has a promising future.

  Gu Jian expressionlessly picked up the blue-and-white porcelain tea cup on the coffee table, brought it to his lips, put it down, and asked, "Brother Yuan, why did you suddenly get promoted? It's too sudden."

   As we all know, promotion in the military is either by grace or by military merit.

   It has been nearly a year since he ascended the throne today, and he has not seen any outstanding military achievements made by Gu Yuan. As for the Japanese pirates that Gu Yuan killed when the late emperor was in power the year before, that is, a few rogues who escaped, he just missed it.

  How can Gu Yuan and He De get this important position? !

   "I don't know either." Gu Yuan raised his eyebrows, and he was also puzzled.

Before today, everything in his army was the same as usual. Until this morning, Shangfeng suddenly called him, gave him this transfer order, and congratulated him again. Been affectionate.

  Gu Yuan was telling the truth, but obviously Gu Jian didn't believe it, so he continued to ask: "Brother Yuan, there is no free lunch in the world, so you didn't ask Shangfeng?"

  Gu Yuanfeng slanted his eyes and glanced at Gu Jian coldly. Seeing that the other party didn't believe him, he didn't bother to say more.

   Gu Yanfei, who was beside him, sipped his tea leisurely, the corners of his lips slightly raised behind the tea cup.

   She probably guessed it, it was a thank you from Duke Wei.

   Mrs. Gu Tai thought about it and looked at Gu Yanfei with a complicated expression.
