Chapter 445 You are too bold!
Click, click, one slow, one fast.
The water drops on the eaves were about to fall, and when they accumulated enough weight, they shattered on the mossy steps, creating fleeting flowers. The accumulated water in the yard was imprinted with broken clouds, which were scattered and became a blurred skylight.
The light in the house was not bright. The
dim light was sprinkled on half of Wei Zhao's face, half bright and the other half dark, as if it was burying strong emotions.
Wei Zhao half leaned on the bed, and it seemed that he could still hear her crying in his ears. His palm gently stroked her slender back with just the right amount of force.
The girl in his arms was probably tired of crying, and had been coaxed to sleep, but there were still traces of tears.
The emotions in Wei Zhao's eyes disappeared bit by bit.
He wiped it gently with a moist cotton cloth and covered her with bedding.
Looking at the girl's sleeping face, Wei Zhao's mind was empty.
After an unknown amount of time, he sighed, leaned over and pressed his lips against her fair forehead, then slowly stood up, lit the soothing incense in the room, and went out.
He opened the door, and then closed it again.
Wei Zhao looked in the direction of the palace, his knuckles slowly tightened under his sleeves. His jaw was as tight as a knife, his eyes seemed to be quenched with ice, and the air around him was stagnant for a while, but he was unaware.
"Take good care of the madam."
Tan Jiang: "Yes."
Wei Zhao stood there for a long time, and finally remembered that there was someone waiting for him in the study.
He calmed his mind and walked away.
The study is an important place, and no one is allowed to enter casually. The servants of Shunguo Mansion would not come here unless it was an important matter, and they all avoided this place.
Gu Fuju was a civil servant, so he could not detect how many Wei family troops were in and out of the courtyard.
He had not encountered any figure since he came here. They were all hiding in the dark, and they would flash and raise their swords to kill the enemy at the slightest sign of trouble.
But it can be guessed that the more this is the case, the more strict it is.
After Rong Di took him into the study, he served tea and went to guard outside.
Gu Fuju never looked around, let alone looked through the secret letter on the desk.
Although Wei Zhao never called him father-in-law, he was respectful in other aspects. He didn't mean to be on guard against him at all.
Gu Fuju's expression was not necessarily very good.
Why be on guard against him? Wei Zhao needed his help in many things, and also needed his influence.
Gu Fuju sat on the chair, holding a cup of tea in his hand, and only looked up at the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall.
The calligraphy is good, and the paintings are also good. You can tell who wrote them at a glance.
Gu Fuju still remembered that when he first saw Wei Zhao's calligraphy, he did not hesitate to praise it for its spirituality, saying that he had a character at a young age and could not avoid the edge. If accumulated over the years, the horizontal, vertical, left and right strokes would sooner or later condense into soul and energy after thousands of wrist hangings.
He admired it very much.
The articles that Wei Zhao wrote when he was studying with him are still preserved.
After Wei Zhao led the army to fight, Gu Fuju rarely saw his handwriting.
The seal on the calligraphy and painting on the wall was made three years ago.
He has not slacked off in these years.
Gu Fuju nodded secretly.
"General."
Rong Di's respectful voice came from outside.
Gu Fuju looked over and saw Wei Zhao walking in.
He has the elegance of a scholar, the dignity of a son of a noble family, and the calm momentum of a military general.
The mixture of these things is particularly harmonious.
There was still a half smile on the corner of his lips, but the smile did not reach his eyes, and the candlelight in the study showed a bit of murderous aura.
"What's wrong?"
Gu Fuju frowned.
Wei Zhao took a big step, took out an opened letter from the desk, and sat down opposite him. The chair dragged on the ground, making a harsh sound.
He gave the letter to Gu Fuju,
who lowered his head and opened the letter, reading ten lines at a glance. There
was a sense of resentment between the lines.
If it weren't for the flamboyant handwriting that was written by a man, Gu Fuju would have thought that Wei Zhao had a mistress outside!
The letter was very simple.
Very shameless.
——"You took over the management of those half-dead shops under Ying Fuyan's name. The profits increased several times last month, and he counted the money in front of me! That smug look is annoying. Now he has Ying Yin, the sucker, to support him, and he has to get some from you from time to time. Is he short of money?"
——"I'm getting married and I'm going to support a wife in the future, so I'm short of money! Why don't you take over the shops under my name as well?"
——"Managing one person is one thing, and managing two is also one thing. It's not right to be partial to one over the other!"
The handwriting was somewhat familiar, but it also revealed a strong sense of strangeness.
Gu Fuju suddenly looked at Wei Zhao.
He read the name word by word.
"Ying Fuyan?"
Wei Zhao did not speak.
Gu Fuju read the letter carefully from beginning to end again.
Then, he came to an incredible conclusion.
"Who is the aide beside Ying Yin...?"
He stood up suddenly: "You are too bold!"
Wei Zhao: "Master, calm down."
Gu Fuju rubbed his forehead and digested this fact: "Who wrote the letter?" He did
not even need to wait for Wei Zhao to say.
Gu Fuju: "The one from the Xiao family?"
Wei Zhao raised his eyebrows: "It seems that in your heart, he is not a mediocre person."
Gu Fuju sneered.
"One year, I helped to supervise the Imperial College exam. I looked at his paper, and his handwriting was crooked and all his answers were irrelevant."
"Later, his father invited me and a few adults to visit his house. During the visit, he learned that he was causing trouble outside again, so he left us and went to his room to beat him up."
"I was afraid of something happening, so I tried to stop him."
Xiao Huaiyan ran around with his head in his hands, and the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery chased him.
At this point, Gu Fuju smiled.
"While the two were acting enthusiastically, I saw a piece of paper in the room that was blown from the miscellaneous books on the table to the ground."
This was incredible.
"All of them were the answers to the Imperial College exam."
"The handwriting was good, and the answers were very good."
"I knew that it was written for us to see, for the emperor to see."
He didn't say anything at the time, and he helped to put the paper on the ground back into the miscellaneous books.
It has never been announced to the public.
It has never been exposed.
Wei Zhao lowered his eyes.
I don't know if he heard it or not.
He glanced at the brewed tea again and poured himself a cup.
Wei Zhao picked it up and touched the teacup in Gu Fuju's hand.
There was a crisp sound.
Wei Zhao: "Thank you, Master."
"Whatever they do in the future, I'll need your help."
Gu Fuju:...
He knew it.
Now that Wei Zhao threw out two people, it also solved his doubts.
They are all smart people, and he can guess what Wei Zhao will do next. He
also has the answer to what he wanted to ask when he came.
Gu Fuju drank the tea.
Indicated his agreement.
Wei Zhao also planned to drink it.
But he didn't know what he thought of, and his expression had an unspeakable agitation for a moment. His
fingertips slowly stroked the edge of the teacup, and suddenly there was a crisp sound, and a fine crack appeared on the edge of the cup, but the tea inside did not shake at all.
Gu Fuju:? ?
Wei Zhao put it down.
He picked up a blade next to him.
It was sent to him by the blacksmith shop for inspection. If possible, he would prepare to make more and use them as weapons.
Very thin.
It was exceptionally hard,
but was bent by Wei Zhao's brute force.
