Chapter 872 875. Leaving the Palace
Gu Wenheng knew that his son had entered the palace, so he had been waiting at the palace gate.
Although he knew something about his son, he was more afraid of the cunning people in the palace.
Even if I give him thousands of warnings, I'm still afraid that the kid might accidentally fall into those people's trap.
He could enter the palace, but this would be a rare opportunity to train the child. If he had to rely on him for everything, when would the child be able to grow up?
Besides, this time we are here to receive credit, and how big a reward we can get depends on the child’s performance this time.
"Lord Gu, are you preparing to enter the palace?" The generals guarding the city couldn't bear to see this and came over to ask.
Gu Wenheng smiled and said, "No, I'm waiting for someone here."
Being able to guard the palace gate, he must be well-informed. "You are waiting for your young master! Why don't you come over here to rest? The wind is not that strong here. If your young master comes out, we will notify you then."
The guard pointed to the city wall beside him. There was shade and a gentle breeze there, which was much more comfortable than here.
Gu Wenheng thanked the other party for his kindness, but he also felt that it was not a good idea to stand at the palace gate. People who didn't know would think that he was disliked by the emperor and was waiting here to be summoned.
Moving to the bottom of the city wall, Gu Wenheng slowly calmed down.
When he heard the noise coming from inside the palace gate, his eyes were fixed on the palace gate.
"I'll have someone send you back!" Mao Bingyan said as he walked out of the palace gate. He didn't bring any entourage with him when he entered the palace. Although they were all waiting at the palace gate, he had brought the child to Beijing, so he had to send him back home.
Wu Bencan saw the familiar carriage at the palace gate and grinned, "Thank you for your kindness, Lord Mao. My father has sent someone to pick me up."
Mao Bingyan also saw the Gu family carriage at this time, "That's good..."
"Dad," Gu Bencan raised his hands excitedly when he saw the familiar figure.
Gu Wenheng walked out from the shadows and said, "You have sharp eyes. You can see this."
Gu Bencan: "..." Your figure is obvious even if you are hiding in the shadows...
"Master Mao," Gu Wenheng bowed to Mao Bingyan, "I am sorry for causing trouble for you."
Mao Bingyan didn't expect Gu Wenheng to come and pick him up in person. "Master Gu, you are too kind. Your Excellency is calm and smart. Master Gu will be blessed in the future."
Gu Wenheng, "Thank you for the compliment. Lord Mao has been very tired from running back and forth. I will not disturb Lord Mao when he returns home to reunite. I will definitely hold a banquet to thank Lord Mao for his care someday."
The two exchanged pleasantries before going their separate ways.
As soon as they got on the carriage, Gu Bencan immediately grabbed Gu Wenheng's hand and asked excitedly, "Dad, are we moving? Are we going to live in the palace?
Don't you know how much the villagers envy me? They even asked me to go back and tell them what the palace looks like?"
Gu Wenheng didn't expect that the child was still so energetic. He was still young, but there were more important things to worry about. He lowered his voice and asked, "...How about entering the palace?"
Gu Bencan also whispered, "It's good, not as outrageous as you said before.
His Majesty was also very kind and asked me some questions, but I answered them carefully.
Dad, I'll tell you in detail when I get back."
Gu Wenheng was very satisfied with his son's caution, and he stroked his beard and nodded, "Seeing that you are in good spirits, Dad is relieved.
How is your family? Is your mother okay?
Gu Bencan didn't expect his biological father's concern to be so short-lived. He curled his lips and said, "It's good, but I miss my father a little."
Gu Wenheng, "..." It was obvious that this brat was exaggerating. How could he not know what his wife was like? How could he show such emotions in front of the child?
"Dad, even though my mom didn't say anything, my brother and I noticed it," Gu Bencan thought Gu Wenheng didn't believe him, so he quickly spoke up for his own mom. "The road you used to walk on is now walked by mom."
Gu Wenheng, "...When Dad was at home, your mother would often leave."
"..." Gu Bencan was too tired to complain. He opened the curtain and looked at the street scene outside. It was just a little more lively, but there was no other difference.
When they arrived at the new house, Gu Wenheng did not restrain him and asked someone to take him for a walk in the yard, while he led the others into the study.
After Gu Bencan was tired from shopping and had eaten and drunk his fill, the father and son sat down to talk.
He recounted what he had seen and heard in the palace and stated his own response. The father and son pondered for a moment and both felt that there was no problem.
Then he talked about rewards, "Dad, what do you think the emperor will give me as a reward? Will he also give me a mansion?"
Gu Wenheng couldn't help but shake his head at his lack of ambition.
"What? There's not even a yard," Gu Bencan was a little unconvinced. No matter how stupid he was, he knew that his contribution this time was great and he might be promoted directly to a higher position. How come there wasn't even a mansion?
“If you want a house like this, your mother has one in her name.
You won't be staying in Shangjing for long, so what do you need this yard for?"
"But our family is not short of gold, silver and jewelry," Gu Bencan's eyes lit up instantly, and he winked and said, "Do you think the emperor will give me an official title?"
Gu Wenheng knocked his head off and said, “Don’t be so playful with me here. I’m not your mother. I’m not so easily amused by you.
Don't go out these days. Don't forget that you are still in mourning. Don't let the conversation go unnoticed."
I'm not worried about anything else. I'm just afraid that this child is too curious and might be cheated by others.
"Dad, I get it. I'm not stupid." Gu Bencan thought of the yard he had not yet walked through. "Dad, we can't build a large building right now, but I want to buy some things. Is that okay?"
Gu Wenheng didn’t have time to explain all this, “Madame Hou and the others followed you here, so if you have anything to ask, ask them.
If you need anything, make a list and I will ask the butler to buy it for you."
Now that he had understood what he wanted to know, and knew that this kid had done nothing wrong in the palace, Gu Wenheng began to drive him away. "The yard you live in has been cleaned up for you. You must be tired from running around these days. Go back and rest early."
Gu Bencan left very happily. There were still many places in the mansion that he had not visited. He had to take a good look and choose a courtyard for himself and his brother.
Hua Zhang moved all the corn brought back this time to the imperial garden to dry, and also sent guards to watch it day and night.
Hua Shunming would have someone carry the goods over to take a look every day, and only when Si Nong said that the goods could be put into the warehouse did he smile.
Instead of estimating the yield, they actually hired a group of guards to peel the corn kernels one by one.
Three acres of corn fields and a harvest of more than 800 kilograms represent something. It means that millions of people will no longer have to go hungry.
When the final result came out, both emperors could no longer sit still.
"Reward, it must be a huge reward," Hua Shunming patted the back of the chair excitedly, and then put his hands together, very pious, "God bless our Rong Dynasty, God bless our Rong Dynasty!"
