Chapter 60 Chapter 60 "Did she choose Xie Zhujing, or...
==Chapter 60==
After Madam Yang and Xie Zhujing left, Feng Wenyu returned to Mingxinxuan and didn't speak for a long time. His eyes unconsciously stayed on a certain place, as if he was in a daze.
Jinshu was confused: "What's wrong with the girl?"
Feng Wenyu lowered her eyelids and said:
"No."
It was just that the conversation with Xie Zhujing reminded her of Gu Yushi. Gu Yushi had said those words to her before they got married. She believed that both Xie Zhujing and Gu Yushi were sincere when they said those words, but time has passed and people always change.
Outside the mansion, Madam Yang and Xie Zhujing and his party.
After sending the official media off, Madam Yang looked at Xie Zhujing with a smile, shaking her head helplessly:
"You, since the old man has already agreed to your marriage, it's a done deal. Why rush it?"
Xie Zhujing didn't comment, but just lowered his head slightly: "Thank you for your help, Master's wife."
As for why he was so anxious? It was simple: delay would lead to unexpected consequences.
To the Yu Feng family, he is not the most suitable candidate, and to Miss Yu, he is not the most popular one. How could their marriage be a foregone conclusion?
Only now, with a formal status and a name card, can he feel at ease.
Madam Yang gave him an annoyed look and said, "You call me Master's Wife, and these are all my responsibilities. Why are you bothering me?"
Xie Zhujing had no father or mother, so when he came to the Song family, he was no different from their biological son. He had no one to rely on, so not only did they have to arrange for his marriage, but they also had to share the family property in the future. I dare not say that it was exactly the same as their biological son, but it would not be less.
In other words, if they didn't have their own children, Xie Zhujing would have to take care of them in their old age.
The words "master" and "disciple" are of great significance, and are almost the same as "father and son".
Xie Zhujing couldn't help but remain silent for a moment. He concealed his emotions, held Madam Yang's wrist, and said in a gentler voice, "Yuzhi said the wrong thing. Thank you, Master's wife."
The engagement of the young daughter of the Feng family is not a trivial matter, at least not for the Hanlin Academy.
Someone subconsciously looked towards Gu Yushi's position.
Gu Yushi held a wolf-hair brush in his hand and dripped a ball of ink onto the white paper, but he paid no attention to it. He stared at Wu Pingan intently, his cold eyes gleaming with chill, his voice dull and tense: "...What did the Master just say?"
Wu Pingan was stared at for a moment, and after a pause, he repeated what he had just said:
"I mean, maybe good things are coming soon, Mr. Xie..."
He spoke vaguely, and after he finished speaking, his eyes looked around uncomfortably, finally landing on Zhang Zeling: "Zhang Zeling, have you sorted out the file from yesterday?"
As he spoke, he quickly walked towards Zhang Zeling under the pretext of official business, and his back looked like he was fleeing in panic.
When Wu Ping'an was carrying Gu Yu on his back, he raised his hand to wipe the unnecessary cold sweat from his forehead. Gu Shidu's face turned cold, and he actually felt as if he was talking to Lord Feng. He felt a little regretful. Why did he speak so quickly?
If Xie Zhujing wants to take leave, he must explain the reason. For something as important as proposing marriage, which is a matter of personal life, Wu Ping'an will of course agree to his leave.
Therefore, Wu Ping'an would get the news of Xie Zhujing and the young daughter of the Feng family's engagement earlier than others.
Gu Yushi ignored Wu Ping'an. His eyes fell on the file, but he didn't read a single word. The sounds and silence around him seemed to be separated from him by a layer, making him feel as if he was floating in the air, and he would fall if he was not careful.
My heart was still pounding, but it seemed to hit my chest and ribs again and again, causing a dull and muffled pain.
Wu Ping'an stared at Zhang Zeling working. Zhang Zeling was overwhelmed and couldn't help looking at Wu Ping'an with a bit of resentment. Wu Ping'an pretended not to see it. Suddenly, there was a sound behind them, which startled both of them and made them turn their heads to look.
Gu Yushi suddenly stood up and walked out, accidentally touching the inkstone on the table, and the inkstone fell to the ground with a loud and dull sound.
Wu Pingan didn't dare to pretend nothing happened anymore, and hurriedly shouted:
"Gu Shidu? Gu Shidu, where are you going?"
However, the man seemed to be unable to hear Wu Ping'an's voice at all, and his figure completely disappeared in the Hanlin Academy. Wu Ping'an was dumbfounded.
Zhang Zeling couldn't help but sigh: "This is really lively!"
Wu Pingan couldn't help but slapped him on the forehead and said unhappily:
"Exciting? Whose excitement do you want to see?"
A new noble in the imperial court, and the grandson-in-law of the Feng family, whose excitement do they look down upon?
He is very brave. If he wants to die, he can die alone without dragging the entire Hanlin Academy down with him.
Zhang Zeling covered his head and gasped in pain. He didn't dare to offend his boss, so he could only mutter quietly, "It wasn't me who caused this."
He seemed to want to make some more comments, but was interrupted by Wu Pingan. He said irritably:
"Shut up! If you really mess with those two, no one can protect you!"
Even the Zhang family behind him may not be willing to offend the Feng family for him.
Zhang Zeling closed his mouth, then opened it again. Wu Pingan said impatiently, "What do you want to say?"
Zhang Zeling: "I was wondering, what should we do if the emperor asks for help later?"
One of the lecturers has taken leave, and one of the readers is also missing. Who will be on duty?
Wu Pingan glanced at him and snorted, "You are quite capable, aren't you? You will be on duty in front of the emperor later."
Perhaps it was because what you worry about will come true. A quarter of an hour later, the eunuch Li in the imperial court came over, glanced around, and said in confusion, "Where is Gu Shidu?"
Wu Pingan pushed Zhang Zeling and said with a smile:
"Gu Shidu is out for something, so Zhang the Editor will be on duty today."
Eunuch Li didn't say anything and led Zhang Zeling away. But when they arrived at the Imperial Study, Emperor Wenyuan glanced at him and raised his eyebrows:
"How about less regrets?"
He remembered that it was Gu Yushi who was on duty today.
Zhang Zeling gave a wry laugh and said vaguely, "Xie Shijiang has asked for leave today, and Gu Shidu got the news and left."
Emperor Wenyuan had long known about what happened between Xie Zhujing and Gu Yushi.
As soon as he heard it, he guessed what had happened. He sneered and cursed:
"This brat is losing his mind over a woman!"
Zhang Zeling's eyes flickered slightly. Although the emperor was scolding him, he didn't seem to blame him at all. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Did Emperor Wenyuan blame Gu Yushi?
It’s not surprising.
It would be bad if this man didn't have any weaknesses, because the superiors wouldn't dare to use him easily. But now that Gu Yushi has exposed his weaknesses blatantly, Emperor Wenyuan is even more willing to use him.
Emperor Wenyuan listened to the two memorials and suddenly said:
"When he comes back, let him come to see you."
Zhang Zeling bowed his head respectfully without saying anything. He knew in his heart that these words were not instructions to him.
Sure enough, Eunuch Li smiled and replied, "I'll make a note of it."
Gu Yushi had no idea that Emperor Wenyuan was waiting for him. As soon as he left the palace, he rode his horse straight to the Minister's Mansion, but was stopped halfway.
He is the one who was granted the title of Grand Secretary.
The visitor bowed and said, "Master Gu, the elder asks you to come over."
Gu Yushi's face was as cold as a stone. He stared at the newcomer with obscure eyes for a long time before he was willing to leave with him.
Today, Lord Feng was on leave, but his news arrived at no time. When Gu Yushi arrived, Lord Feng was fiddling with chess pieces in his study. Seeing someone coming, he pointed across the table:
"sit."
Gu Yushi immediately noticed the brown tea beside him. He didn't sit down, but just said, "Your Excellency is taking a day off today, why bother drinking such strong tea?"
Elder Feng glanced at the tea and murmured:
"It's a bit thick."
Someone immediately took the teacup away and quickly replaced it with a cup of light tea.
When Lord Feng saw Gu Yu still standing, he shook his head and said, "Are you in such a hurry to leave? You won't even play a game of chess with me?"
Gu Yushi was speechless, but finally sat down.
There were chess pieces in the black jade box. Elder Feng took the chess piece and made the first move. His voice was very light and gentle:
"She chose her own marriage."
Gu Yushi twisted the chess piece with extra force. He said coldly, "The elder gave her several options."
Elder Feng raised his eyelids and glanced at him, not knowing whether he smiled or not:
"Is it important?"
Gu Yushi replied almost instantly: "Important."
Lord Feng narrowed his eyes.
"If you don't give her any options, it's fine. But if you give her options, she will definitely choose someone."
The simplest psychological suggestion.
Gu Yushi heard himself ask, "So, the elder gave her several options."
Elder Feng looked at him for a long time, then said softly:
"two."
Gu Yushi felt a chill in his heart and guessed the answer.
"You and Yuzhi."
He felt a sharp pain in his heart, but he still stubbornly asked, "Did she choose Xie Zhujing, or not me?"
Here are two answers.
Elder Feng shook his head:
"You know the answer."
It doesn’t matter who is on the other side of the scale. What matters is that when Gu Yushi is also placed on the scale, Feng Wenyu will definitely choose the other side.
His hand was unsteady, and the white chess piece fell onto the board, hitting the black piece, shifting its position and ruining the game in an instant.
Elder Feng didn't ask him to play chess again, but just asked him, "Do you still want to go find her?"
Gu Yushi turned and left.
After he left, Lord Feng threw the chess pieces into the black jade box. Song Zuoliang walked out from behind the screen. He lowered his head to glance at the chessboard. The white pieces were moved randomly without any pattern at all. It was obvious how Gu Yushi felt at the time.
Song Zuoliang frowned: "Is it worth it?"
Is it worth it to win over Gu Yushi?
Whether it is the second or third generation, there are outstanding people. The men in the family are already capable of taking on responsibilities, so why do they need to rely on women's marriage to consolidate their position in the court?
Elder Feng closed his eyes and said calmly:
"News is coming from the border town soon. The Fourth Prince is no longer useful, and the Second Prince has also displeased His Majesty."
Song Zuoliang merely frowned at this, but the next words from Feng Ge Lao made him hold his breath instantly:
"Our Majesty has been calling on the imperial physician more and more often this year."
His face changed drastically: "Teacher means..."
Elder Feng turned his head and looked outside, his voice very calm:
"Time is running out."
"Since His Majesty values him, and we happen to have the bargaining chip to win him over, why waste it?"
Song Zuoliang was silent for a moment before he said, "But the young master and the young lady..."
Elder Feng waved his hand:
"As for my lover, a few twists and turns might not be a bad thing. If you get something too easily, you won't know how to cherish it."
Song Zuoliang weighed his words carefully: "What if I meet him when the time comes and he refuses to let me go?"
Elder Feng suddenly opened his eyes. The emotions in his eyes were dark, but it was hard to tell. He glanced at Song Zuoliang, as if he could see through his thoughts at a glance:
"It seems that as a master, you still don't understand your disciple well enough."
