Chapter 344 345. Send a ride

Gu Wenheng didn't expect that before he even started to do anything, some people would come up to him and make trouble.

"Master Gu," Xiao Wanyu leaned against the carriage, looking very fragile, "I didn't expect to meet you here. Can you give me a ride?"

Gu Wenheng glanced at the teahouse behind him, and He Nan just walked out of it. Under his gaze, He Nan walked over with gritted teeth.

"Master Gu?"

Hearing the coquettish voice, Gu Wenheng directly scolded Hong Da, "Look at how dirty this carriage is. Go back and clean it thoroughly."

Hong Da took a look at the woman next to him. She had her hair in a bun and was acting like this. He didn't know which unlucky family was to have such a woman come in.

He had followed Gu Wenheng for so many years and knew that although his words were meant to reprimand him, they actually had a hidden meaning, but some people didn't seem to understand it at all.

"Master He, my carriage is dirty, so I have to trouble you to give me a ride." Without waiting for He Nan to refuse, he directly informed Hong Da, "Go back and clean the carriage first!"

"Yes," Hong Da immediately jumped to the front shaft, showing his superb driving skills, and disappeared in front of them in an instant.

Gu Wenheng didn't even look at the dumbfounded Xiao Wanyu, and got on the He Mansion's carriage, "Take me to the Gu Mansion first."

He Nan, "…This is my special carriage, you are welcome."

Gu Wenheng looked directly at the driver, "It seems that your master doesn't want to leave yet, please send me back first!"

He Nan didn't dare to watch the show anymore. He climbed onto the carriage using his hands and feet without even asking for help from the coachman.

Looking at the carriage going away, Xiao Wanyu's face immediately turned pale. "I am dirty? How am I dirty? Gu, one day I will make you swallow your words."

Completely unaware that someone was saying harsh words behind his back, Gu Wenheng looked at the street scene outside, trying to ignore the noisy voices beside him.

"This is a peach blossom that has come to your doorstep, you don't have to be so heartless.

Besides, that woman is not bad looking. She has taken the initiative. You…"

Gu Wenheng looked back at him and said, "I can make an exception and match you up, so you don't have to make sour remarks here."

He Nan pointed at himself and asked, "Am I being sarcastic?"

"Isn't it?"

"I feel sorry for you. Besides, she is interested in you. What does it have to do with me?"

Gu Wenheng, "If you want to have a relationship, I can help you."

Hearing the seriousness in Gu Wenheng's words, He Nan immediately backed off, "I was just joking. How can such a person be worthy of our elegant and handsome Gu Zhuangyuan?"

If Gu Wenheng was serious, thinking of the possible reaction of the tigress at home, He Nan quietly shrank into the corner, trying to reduce his presence as much as possible.

He Nan breathed a sigh of relief only after he saw the man get off the car and enter the mansion. Fortunately, the boy didn't take this matter too seriously, otherwise it would be difficult to explain when he returned.

It was not until a few days later, when he returned home and ran into the tigress holding a feather duster and interrogating him, that he realized that although Gu Wenheng had not been serious with him, the lady of the Gu family had not let him go.

Cheng'en Marquis Mansion

Zhou Shixiong had just come down from the martial arts training ground when someone came from the palace.

After packing up briefly and changing into a general's robe, he took the precious medicinal herbs that Gu Wenheng had given him as a gift two days ago, and then followed the eunuch who had come to deliver the message into the palace.

When Queen Zhou saw her brother coming, she quickly ordered her servants to bring all the scrolls over.

Zhou Shixiong guessed that this would be the case. Last time it was a noble lady from the capital, but this time, he didn't know where this lady from a noble family was found from.

"Your Majesty, please don't worry. I brought some medicinal herbs this time. Please have them stored in the warehouse."

"Brother, you are really something. What medicinal herbs are missing in the palace?" The Queen said with a smile, "If this is the case, His Majesty will probably have trouble sleeping and eating."

"You are still so outspoken," Zhou Shixiong reminded her, "In this deep palace, there are some things you can say, and some things you need to think about. Although you are the head of a palace, you still have to worry about the ears of others."

Queen Zhou stuck out her tongue playfully, "Brother, you are right. But don't worry, we are all my people here. If they dare to go out and talk nonsense, their lives will not be enough to erase it."

Although she was born in a military family, she was also accompanied by several maids who taught her carefully.

If she wanted to serve him closely in the deep palace, she would not dare to use him with confidence unless he had some shortcomings.

Zhou Shixiong glanced at the eunuchs and palace maids next to him again with a warning, "If anyone dares to betray the master, just tell someone to tell my brother, don't get your hands dirty."

Queen Zhou smiled and said, "With what Big Brother said, I believe they won't dare to have second thoughts.

"Brother, what kind of medicinal herbs are these?"

Zhou Shixiong personally opened the box that had been placed on the table, and bursts of medicinal fragrance immediately drifted throughout the palace.

"This? This ginseng?" Queen Zhou couldn't help but step forward and asked, "Where did you find it, big brother?"

Zhou Shixiong, "This was given to me by Brother Gu. I gave him some thank-you gifts before, but he probably thought they were too valuable, so he gave me this as a return gift. There is also a Polygonum multiflorum here. I asked the palace doctor to check it out, and it is more than a hundred years old.

It's no use keeping it in my hands, so I'd better keep it with you."

"How can I do this? If they were just toys, I would accept them, but these are life-saving medicines. Brother, why don't you take them back?" Although these things were also in the palace, as the queen, she might not be able to get them if she wanted to.

"There's no point in bringing it back. Since there's nothing else to do, I'll go back first."

Seeing Zhou Shixiong turning around and about to leave, Queen Zhou had no idea what his intention was.

"Brother, this is a lady from a noble family that I selected from among the officials of various provinces. Please take a look at her and give me a definite answer."

If it is delayed any further, the eldest brother may return to the border at any time, and Queen Zhou does not want the next generation of the Zhou family to be delayed.

Zhou Shixiong looked at the stack of scrolls and casually pulled one out. "That's it, but you have to explain the situation in our mansion to them."

Queen Zhou quickly took it and said, "Brother, you are too perfunctory, at least take a look.

Besides, when we got these scrolls, do you think I didn’t explain to them clearly the reason why we did this?

Big brother, you are too self-deprecating. You are the Marquis of Wu'an, and you were given a first-rank imperial title when you entered the palace. The eunuchs and maids around me have received many gifts these days."

Especially in the harem, those concubines who originally looked displeasing to him have been trying their best to please him these days.

After all, every family has a girl waiting to get married. Where can you find a husband who has a high rank right from the start and can be the master of the household? Everyone wants to fight for their daughter.
