Chapter 632 Targeting the Jiang Family Men
Soon, with an order issued from the Gu Mansion, nearly 200,000 troops quickly assembled in a black pressure, frightening the people into thinking that they were going to forcibly collect food again, and they did not dare to open the gates.
Gu Pingzhi changed into a dragon robe, stood in front of the army, and twirled the iron walnuts in his hands.
"Gentlemen, are you willing to follow me to the capital?"
"It is said that it takes a thousand days to train an army, but only one day to use it. Now it is time to see if the long spears of my Jiangnan Iron Cavalry can pierce the small palace and take down the dragon-patterned throne!" He said with a sinister smile.
None of the soldiers dared to raise their heads, let alone refute.
Who said that the person standing in front of them was the ruler of the Gu family, and Gu Pingzhi who dominated the southern province!
Gu Pingzhi is nearly 40 years old, very short, but his eyes are frighteningly bright.
In recent years, the Gu family has been entrenched in the Jiangnan area. Taking advantage of the inaction of the Murong royal family, they have taken control of all the military and financial power in the southern province. Since
Gu Changying became the emperor.
The Gu family has more support and has become more unscrupulous.
Together with several other big families, they have forcibly conscripted able-bodied men and plundered the people's wealth. They have almost become rich enough to rival a country.
Now, knowing that they are going to attack Beijing, the elders of the Gu family are very excited and hurried to see them off.
Gu Pingzhi drank a bowl of Nuerhong and poured another cup on the tablet in the ancestral hall. "Gu ancestors, we have prepared for the great cause for generations, and Pingzhi will complete it for you!"
The elders of the Gu family also nodded, and the expectations that had been suppressed in their hearts for many years burst out at this moment.
"Okay, okay, it was the Murong family who let us down, and now we should take back everything that belongs to us!" Someone said with gritted teeth while tapping his crutches.
At this time, another old man asked, "By the way, Pingzhi, if those people in the capital resist this time, what are your plans?"
Gu Pingzhi held the wine bowl and smashed it on the ground, "Mu Yihan has already left the capital. Do you think those rubbish in the court can stop us? If there are capable people, just like this broken bowl, kill them without leaving a single piece of armor!"
He had already thought about it. If there is one person who disobeys him, he will kill that person.
If all the court officials disobey, then he will kill everyone!
In short, since the arrow has been drawn, it must be hit in one shot.
It's time for this country to change its surname to Gu!
At this time, another young man from the side branch was cautious and said, "Master, 200,000 troops are our entire strength. If you take them all with you this time, we will be left with no manpower in the Southern Province."
Gu Pingzhi shook his head confidently, "Why do we need to keep more manpower here? Could it be that someone will sneak up on the Gu family and attack us?"
"Hahaha!"
The Gu family ancestral hall burst into laughter, and everyone seemed to hear great fun, with pride on their faces.
Yes, the Gu family has long dominated Jiangnan.
Could anyone dare to challenge them?
Just like that, on a gray and foggy morning, Gu Pingzhi got on a yellow-topped carriage and set off for the capital.
The carriage was running very fast, and the servants on both sides tried their best to follow it. Even with their soles worn out, they still held up the dragon-patterned umbrella for the master.
The 200,000-strong army also changed into ordinary civilian clothes and was divided into several teams, following one after another...
...
Since the Gu family army set out, Xiao Nuobao could see the army coming almost every day!
The little girl vaguely felt that something big was happening, but her father and third brother did not tell her about the Southern Province plan, which made her anxious and confused.
Early this morning, Xiao Nuobao wanted to meditate after class to see if she could find any clues.
However, what the little guy didn't know was that compared to the 200,000-strong army, there was another trouble that was about to come to her!
At this time, in the Li Mansion,
Li Hutu had just finished his meal and was about to go to the Gu family to teach. But he was suddenly stopped by his daughter Li Qingping.
"Father." Li Qingping approached without knowing when.
On weekdays, at this time, she was still sleeping in the concubine's room. She
would not get up until noon.
Li Qingping was about to get married, but she was still so unruly. Li Hutu was very worried, but the concubines in the family were against it and followed the concubine's wishes in everything.
So Li Qingping was almost seventeen years old, but she was still ignorant of the world and did everything according to her own preferences.
Li Hutu was a great scholar after all, so how could he not know what was best for his daughter.
But he had no choice but to tolerate Aunt Wang.
After all, he didn't have much time to discipline his daughter on weekdays.
Now, seeing Li Qingping getting up early for a rare time and dressing up very gracefully, Li Hutu couldn't help but feel very happy.
He hurriedly stood up and said with a smile, "Ping'er, why did you get up so early today? Did you want to have breakfast with your father?"
When she heard the word "breakfast", Li Qingping wanted to vomit and her hands tightly grasped the handkerchief.
She turned pale for a long time before she could hold it back and said reluctantly, "Father, father, I'm not hungry right now, I just wanted to come and greet you."
Li Hutu's eyes were even more joyful.
Since his wife passed away, Ping'er has become more and more rude. Today is really a rare day!
He nodded happily, pulled the lady to sit down, his eyes full of affection, "Okay, okay, my Ping'er is becoming more and more like an adult."
At this time, Wang Yi Niang, the concubine of the Li family, hurried forward with her big buttocks twisted.
"You are right, old man." She showed an anxious look, "Ping'er is already a big girl, so you have to pay attention to her marriage as soon as possible."
Li Hutu's smile returned, and he waved his hand and said, "Don't rush about this matter. Our Ping'er is slow to understand, and it may not be a good thing for her to get married early. I think among the children this year, I will find one or two suitable ones. It doesn't matter if they are from a lower family than us, as long as Ping'er doesn't have to suffer in the future." After
hearing this, Li Qingping's beautiful face showed obvious displeasure.
As long as she can marry up.
Who would want to choose those small families?
Aunt Wang certainly refused, because she knew that Li Hutu was not a good official, and she hoped that her daughter would marry a rich man so that she could pave the way for her son's future.
So Aunt Wang glanced at Li Qingping, poured a cup of tea and said with a smile, "Master, it's the golden autumn when you bring your son to Beijing. A good marriage for your daughter can't wait?"
"Why bother? Let me see. Aren't you teaching in the Jiang family? Otherwise, you can find a man in the Jiang family and tell Ping'er about the marriage!" Aunt Wang smiled more and more expectantly. As soon as
these words came out, Li Hutu's butt almost jumped off the stool, and the tea spilled all over the floor.
"What did you say? Marry into the Jiang family?" Li Hutu's eyes widened, and his voice trembled with fear, "What are you thinking? This is absolutely not allowed!"
What kind of family is the Jiang family!
They have the support of the imperial teacher!
Their Li family is just a small Hanlin. Even if they step on eighteen ladders, they can't reach their shoulders.
Li Qingping's eyes, which were originally eager, suddenly had a hint of loss, and she looked at her father with some resentment.
Aunt Wang was stunned for a moment, and then said unhappily, "Master, why are you reacting so strongly? Although the Jiang family is very popular, they are just farmers. Our family is a family of scholars, and our family has been Hanlin for generations. In comparison, we are just as good as them."
"Just as good as them! You ignorant woman have a big mouth!" Li Hutu got angry for a rare time, and stood up suddenly, "What's wrong with farmers? For several generations, whose family is not a farmer? Could it be that your first generation ancestor was an emperor or a general?"
"Besides, haven't you heard that once the dragon is in the sky, the common people will be under the mud? They are in power now, and we can't reach them. This is the fact, you have to admit it!" Li Hutu stared.
Aunt Wang was so angry that she pursed her lips and kept silent.
Li Qingping's face became even uglier.
She covered her belly tightly, knowing that if she waited until the end of the autumn examination to discuss marriage, the baby in her belly would be known to everyone.
Li Qingping stared at her father unhappily, but because she had a secret in her heart, she couldn't say anything. She ran back to her own yard and started crying.
The maids in Li's house were unruly and squatted by the wall, listening curiously.
"Why is our young lady crying again?"
"It seems that since she came back from Pei's house, the young lady has been crying all the time. She couldn't eat for the past few days. I wonder what happened?" "
Hey, let me tell you something. Do you know that the young lady hasn't had her period for a month and a half?"
At this time, Aunt Wang came over with her fat waist twisted. She looked at the chattering servants without stopping them, but showed contempt.
"She is really a loser. She was seduced by an old man and she is pregnant. Now she knows how to cry? What have you been thinking about?" Aunt Wang spat fiercely and cursed in a low voice.
"I originally thought that this girl was a bit pretty and a rare commodity, and I wanted to use her marriage to pave the way for my Baoer. Now, all the plans are messed up, and I have to worry about keeping her pregnant." Aunt Wang gritted her teeth in anger.
Soon, the sobbing in the room stopped.
Li Qingping heard the footsteps, raised her swollen eyes, and watched Aunt Wang walk in.
"Aunt, what do you think I should do? My father is unwilling to find a partner for me. If I don't get married, I'm afraid I can't hide my pregnancy." Li Qingping said uncomfortably.
Aunt Wang held back her eyes, sat on the edge of the couch, and touched her hand pretending to be distressed.
"Ping'er, your father is a loser. Now you can only rely on yourself."
Li Qingping burst into tears. "Rely on me? But I'm still a girl waiting to be married. Do you want me to go to the door to propose marriage myself?"
Aunt Wang waved her hands hurriedly, "You are too stubborn. There are more than just proposal marriages. If you can fall in love with the man from the Jiang family, and they know that you are the daughter of Master Li, then the marriage will be a piece of cake?"
Li Qingping's eyes widened. Before she could decide whether to do it or not, Aunt Wang was already counting on her fingers and telling her everything she had learned about the Jiang family.
"The Jiang family has five sons."
"The eldest and the second are married, and they married wives from the countryside. The fourth and the fifth are not old enough. Only the third, Mr. Jiang, has never been married, and his age is also suitable."
"Auntie has asked for you. Mr. Jiang stays in the military camp all the time except at home. If you can find a way to hang around in front of the military camp, you will definitely meet him." Auntie Wang said with a cunning smile.
She opened the cloth bundle in her hand and took out a pair of shoes with raised toes.
The shoes are made of exquisite jacquard satin, and there is a chalcedony bead on the toe. They are brand new and exquisite.
But if you look closely, you will find that there is a crack on the heel of the shoes. If you walk in them, you will definitely sprain your ankle.
Aunt Wang put the shoes beside the couch, stroked Li Qingping's hair, and urged, "Put on these shoes in the afternoon, walk around the teahouse in front of the military camp, and if you see Master Jiang, you can just fall down and everything will be possible!"
Girls waiting to be married rarely show up in public.
If they fall into a man's arms and fall in love with each other, they can indeed have many marriages.
Li Qingping was actually quite hesitant, always feeling that it was not in line with her upbringing.
But under Aunt Wang's urging eyes, she still held the shoes in her arms and nodded...
In the morning, the Jiang family's small school was rarely dull.
Xiao Nuobao was thinking about the military's state affairs, and he couldn't get up the spirit.
Li Hutu was also somewhat absent-minded because of his daughter's affairs.
When it was almost noon, the two classes were over, and Xiao Pangya finally breathed a sigh of relief, waved goodbye, and was about to return to the inner courtyard.
After lunch, Xiao Nuobao was about to go back to the room to meditate.
But at this time, Sun Chunxue grabbed Pangya's little hand and said eagerly, "Nuobao, my pregnancy has been five or six months. Doctor Wu has been busy with my sister-in-law recently and has not gone to see him. Why don't you help my sister-in-law to see if this pregnancy is stable?"
Xiao Nuobao was a little annoyed and wanted to finish the examination as soon as possible.
But who knew that as soon as the little guy put his little hand on my sister-in-law's belly, before he could see the matter of the fetus, he suddenly found that a Tianyue star accompanied by a Pojun star was circling around my sister-in-law's head!
Xiao Nuobao's face was stunned, and was immediately full of surprise.
Po Jun is the star of competition, and Tian Yue is the star of women. Could it be that the eldest sister-in-law is competing with a woman recently?
But the young man doesn't understand this.
The eldest sister-in-law usually stays at home, and she doesn't go out to do business like the second sister-in-law. How can she compete?
And she is competing with women...
Could it be... about the relationship between men and women?
After thinking about it, Xiao Nuobao was startled and quickly stuck out his tongue, but didn't dare to say anything.
"What's wrong, Nuobao, is there anything wrong?" Sun Chunxue felt something was wrong.
Xiao Nuobao was afraid that she would worry, so he shook his chubby hands, "Well... it's okay! The eldest sister-in-law's belly is fine, just rest assured and take care of the baby."
Sun Chunxue was a rough person, and didn't think much about it. She breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.
Since she got pregnant, she rarely touched rouge and powder. When she smiled, her wrinkles were squeezed together, making her look particularly old.
At this time, Jiang Fengnian was listening on the side. He nodded happily when he learned that the child was safe.
So he stood up and said, "Mom, wife, I'm going out this afternoon. The third brother said that there is some food in the military camp. It just so happens that the children in the Charity Bureau are almost finished. I will go to the military camp to get it this afternoon." After
hearing this, Sun Chunxue licked her lips and said, "By the way, the teahouse next to the military camp sells a kind of sesame peach cake that is very delicious. The third brother bought it for me. Can you bring some back for me? It's not me who wants to eat it, but our children all want to eat it!"
When Xiao Nuobao heard about eating, he smacked his lips and smiled and hugged his eldest brother's arm.
"Brother, brother, Nuobao wants to eat cherry pancakes. Please bring me some when you come back~"
Jiang Fengnian pinched his sister's nose and teased deliberately, "Your sister-in-law's child wants to eat it, what about you, you little glutton, you don't even want to tell brother whether you're giving birth to a boy or a girl, and you still want to eat it?"
Little Nuobao laughed shamelessly and coaxed sweetly, "Brother, just bring me some cherry pancakes. Maybe if I'm happy, I'll bless you to give birth to a daughter!"
When Feng heard this, she hurried over to take the little fat girl away, and she laughed angrily, "Come on, don't fool me, do you think you are the fertility Guanyin, and you can choose whether to give birth to a boy or a girl?"
In the yard, Madam Zheng and the two servants couldn't help laughing.
But the eldest and his wife swallowed their saliva, looking forward to their younger sister's help to realize their "girlfriend dream".
As they were looking forward to it, they didn't know that Feng and Xiao Nuobao behind them were already frowning and bending their waists, almost laughing like dogs.
Jiang Fengnian was more energetic. After making a note to buy cherry pancakes and peach cakes, he sat in the carriage with the Jiang family flag and headed towards the military camp...
