Chapter 350: Bo's Mansion

Yunyang Bo discussed with his wife: "I think, please confer the title of eldest grandson! If things go on like this, it will only make the family lose their distinction between the superior and the inferior, and brothers will become enemies, which will make it even more chaotic. Anyway, even if we don't confer the title of eldest grandson, as long as Gu Yu is alive, there will be trouble. Fortunately, Gu Yu is already seventeen years old. If he can't even protect his own things, it's not a pity to lose such a grandson!"

Please confer a title on the eldest grandson, and the successor to the title will be determined.

The advantage is that it determines your status, while the disadvantage is that you become the target of criticism.

Especially Gu Yu's stepmother, who has no hope at all, may be even more cruel to Gu Yu.

When Yunyang Earl's wife was a girl, she had a gentle personality. When she married Yunyang Earl, Yunyang Earl could not let go of his first wife Song in his heart. Yunyang Earl's wife obeyed Yunyang Earl in everything. As long as Yunyang Earl said it was good, she would never say it was bad. Although she knew that her daughter-in-law was not good to her eldest grandson, she only secretly gave some silver to Gu Yu because Yunyang Earl did not say anything. If there was more, she dared not say a word. Gu Yu lacked silver for everything, so his relationship with the Gu family was not very good.

When she heard that her husband wanted to ask for a title for Gu Yu, she naturally nodded and said "yes".

Earl Yunyang couldn't help but sigh.

His wife is too gentle. How can one live a life with a gentle personality? If she could handle it and manage the Yunyang Marquis's Mansion well, how could he tolerate his wife's reckless behavior?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think of the Song family again.

If she were still alive...his life would definitely not be like this, right?

It has been almost forty years since she passed away, and I am now in my sixties. It is time for me to arrange my funeral affairs.

He wanted to be buried with the Song family after his death.

But his sons were all born from second marriages. Even if he made a will, I am afraid that his sons would not agree to it. When he died, he would be at the mercy of others, and they might even cause trouble for him.

We have to ask someone from the Song family to step in on this matter.

Song Yichun is not going to work... I can only find Song Mo... And for Gu Yu's marriage, I have to find a powerful grandson's wife who can control the eldest daughter-in-law...

Yunyang Bo lay in bed and watched the sun rise up little by little. Then he got up lazily and told his personal attendant to send a visiting card to Song Mo: "Ask him to come home. I have something to say to him."

The follower left in response, but within half a cup of tea, he came back again. Not only that, Song Mo followed behind him.

Yunyang Bo was stunned for a moment, then he laughed and said, "Speak of the devil, and he will appear. Are you here to see Gu Yu?"

Song Mo did not have a good impression of Yunyang Bo. First, he had not accomplished anything as a person; second, he had no principles when it came to Gu Yu. In their daily interactions, they were just paying him a gift of respect out of the past friendship.

"I heard that Gu Yu is back, so I came to see him." Song Mo politely exchanged a few words with Earl Yunyang.

Normally, when he was polite, Yunyang Bo would nod and let him go, but this time he said to him, "Then after you meet Gu Yu, come to my room."

Song Mo had a hunch that there was nothing good in Yunyang Lord's visit to him, so he smiled and nodded, then went to Gu Yu's place.

Gu Yu was lying with his arms and legs spread on the big kang by the window, and several servants who served him were kneeling beside the kang trembling with fear. You secretly glanced at me, I secretly glanced at you, and no one dared to say a word.

What a scene last night! Thinking about it now, they are all scared.

When the maidservant shouted through the curtain, "The Prince of the Duke of England is coming," the timid voice suddenly turned into the sound of nature, and several servants almost couldn't help jumping up.

Gu Yu sat up suddenly.

Following the clear and accusing voice of "Why are you still lying in bed?", Song Mo lifted the curtain and walked in.

Gu Yuhu scowled and lay down again.

"What are you so angry about?" Song Mo ignored him and ordered the servant kneeling on the ground, "Go get some water for the master and help him wash up."

Gu Yu stiffened his neck like a child and shouted, "I didn't sleep all night yesterday!"

"Got it!" Song Mo remained unmoved and said calmly, "I heard that you won a great victory. Why are you so excited that you can't sleep?"

Yesterday was a bit of an unfair victory.

He even brought up his dead mother, and only then did his father glare at his stepmother.

Gu Yu's face felt hot.

Song Mo sighed and said softly, "Why didn't you come to see me after returning from Liaodong?"

"Something happened at home. I'm not in the mood." Gu Yu murmured, but he regretted it in his heart. If he had known that Brother Tianci was thinking about him, he should have gone earlier.

Song Mo said nothing.

Gu Yu obediently let the servant help him wash and dress.

After washing up, he sat down next to Song Mo and said attentively: "Brother Tianci, have you had breakfast? There is a new chef in the house who is very good at making noodles. Can I ask someone to make you a bowl of noodles?"

"I've eaten already." Song Mo said with a smile, "Just ask the chef to make you whatever you want to eat!"

Gu Yu was never polite to Song Mo, and he loudly ordered the servant to go to the kitchen to prepare food for him.

Song Mo said, "It's not a good idea for you to stay like this. Isn't there a place called Tingxiangxuan in your back garden? Why don't you build a flower wall on the east side of Tingxiangxuan and open a corner door on the west side and move in there? Then you don't have to go in and out of the upper room every day. You won't feel comfortable there and your stepmother will find you annoying!"

Gu Yu's eyes suddenly became moist.

Everyone said they treated him well, but the only one who really treated him well was Brother Tianci.

He thought of everything.

He decided to be more generous himself.

Isn't it just a child? He is also Tianci's blood.

Dou Shi gave Tianci Ge many children, so he couldn't hold Tianci Ge back, so he gave Dou Shi the two 100-year-old ginsengs given to him by the Liao King. Didn't people say that a woman giving birth is like having one foot at the gate of hell? Tianci Ge liked Dou Shi very much, and maybe he could save her life.

Thinking of this, he calmed down and said disdainfully: "I won't move! Am I afraid of her?"

"It's not a matter of being afraid or not." Song Mo advised him, "You have a long life ahead of you, why bother with them? After the New Year, you can go to the palace and ask the Empress to find you a job. Then you can find a better marriage. You can live a happy life and make your stepmother jealous. Isn't that better than messing with her like this?"

Gu Yu told Song Mo that his stepmother had stuffed two maids with almond eyes and rosy cheeks into his room.

Song Mo laughed and said, "If the cow won't bow its head, can you force it to drink water?" Then he provoked him, "Don't you even have this little bit of willpower?"

"Oh, yeah!" Gu Yu suddenly understood and said with a smile, "Well, I'll go ask my grandfather to agree to let me move to Tingxiangxuan later."

Song Mo nodded: "That's right, why bother with that woman!"

Gu Yu nodded repeatedly, ate two big bowls of noodles, and then took out all the things he had bought for Song Mo in Liaoning.

"Look at this fur, the hairs are as sharp as needles, it's real sable, perfect for making a fur coat." He presented the treasure, "And this one, fox fur, red, rare!"

Song Mo's eyes fell on a small piece of white mink fur.

Gu Yufu was inspired and said with a smile, "This piece is for my nephew to make a leather jacket." He took out a few more pieces of pearl leather and said, "This one is for my sister-in-law to make a jacket."

The pearl skin is the skin of newborn lambs, and it is the warmest choice for making close-fitting jackets.

Song Mo was not polite and said with a smile: "Then I will thank you on behalf of your sister-in-law and nephew."

Gu Yu dragged out a tiger skin with a proud smile: "Putting the whole tiger skin in your study will make it look very impressive..."

These things may not be bought even if you have money.

As for the Prince of Liao, he has been a magnanimous official who has come to Beijing in recent years, and everyone jokingly calls him "the Prince of Liaodong" in private.

Without his consent, how could Gu Yu get such a good thing?

Song Mo smiled calmly and said, "You moved it from the Liao King's warehouse, right?"

Gu Yu smiled awkwardly and said, "I said I couldn't fool you, but King Liao said he could definitely fool you!"

Song Mo patted Gu Yu's head: "You!"

Gu Yu chuckled and said, "He has a lot of good stuff anyway, so don't take it for nothing."

Song Mo did not comment. Except for the tiger skin, which he refused because he was afraid of violating taboos and asked him to give it to the emperor so that he could ask the emperor for a job in the spring, he let the servant take all the other things.

When he returned to the Duke of Ying's Mansion, Su Xin was just getting married.

After accepting Suxin's gift and giving the bride a generous reward, the Zhao family's sedan chair arrived.

If Dou Zhao and Song Mo were present at such an occasion, it would be difficult for everyone to make a fuss. Dou Zhao and Song Mo stayed in the inner room.

Song Mo happened to show Dou Zhao the things that Gu Yu had given them.

Dou Zhao also liked the snow-white flawless mink fur very much, but when she heard that these things were moved out of King Liao's warehouse, she was still a little hesitant and decided to put them away for the time being and decide whether to use them after seeing the situation later.

Song Mo told Dou Zhao about going to the Yunyang Earl's Mansion: "...The old uncle actually wanted to be buried with my great-aunt a hundred years later. He was afraid that his son would not agree, so he wrote a will and insisted that I keep it and let him decide when the time comes."

Dou Zhao was stunned and said, "It's not appropriate for us to interfere in this matter, right?"

"That's what I said." Song Mo had obviously already made up his mind, "Let the old uncle hand this matter over to Gu Yu - if the old uncle can be buried with our great-aunt, then he can ask the prince to be buried with his biological mother."

"Every family has its own problems." Dou Zhao felt very emotional.

Song Mo smiled and said, "It's a good opportunity for Gu Yu to practice his skills. He can't even clean a room, but he wants to clean the whole world? The court is much more complicated than this."

Dou Zhao became concerned about Jiang Yi: "Do you know who he offended?"

"There is no sign of trouble for now." Song Mo said with a smile, "Let's wait and see for two days."

Dou Zhao thought that it was Song Mo's fierce reputation that scared others.

There are five commanders-in-chief in the Five Military Commandery, including Song Yichun. He has already fought to the death with two of them, captured one, and has nothing to do with the other one. But he is still alive and well. Even the Tan family, who don't care about the right and wrong of the world, don't want him to worry about them. I'm afraid anyone who comes in front of him will have to think twice!

Dou Zhao looked at Song Mo and laughed crisply.

Song Mo scratched her nose: "You just smile foolishly all day long!"

Dou Zhao laughed even harder, and his eyes towards Song Mo became more affectionate.

As long as it was about Song Mo, even the smallest thing, it could make her laugh.

Or maybe, this is her biggest gain from marrying Song Mo!
