Chapter 530
Gu Huai looked helplessly at his father's back, then looked back at his father-in-law Su Zhen, feeling in a dilemma.
Mrs. Su was extremely angry. She slammed the table angrily and said:
"He also gave me a slap in the face, he..."
"I'll help my mother go back to rest first."
Su Zhen interrupted her mother's words at the right time and stepped forward to help the person in person. During the process, I pinched it without leaving any trace, and it was a silent reminder that enough is enough.
Before going out, he glanced at his son-in-law before sending his mother out.
Gu Huai really didn't want to leave, so he just waited in the room. My father had long said that he was going to retire and return to his hometown, but he only mentioned it occasionally. But since his father-in-law came back from the north, his father has been talking about "retiring from old age and returning to his hometown" every now and then. This time, he has obviously made up his mind.
The door creaked open and Gu Huai quickly stepped forward.
"father in law."
"I don't want to say more about your father, but the time is not right for him to retire and return to his hometown. You are not completely established in the Ministry of Justice, not to mention that my final idea is to let you join the cabinet. Before that, you have to go to the Ministry of Household Affairs to stay It’s been a few years, so your father will still be in office for a while, even if he claims to be ill at home, that’s okay.”
Gu Huai understood what his father-in-law meant, and he also understood that he was happy with the path his father-in-law paved for him. But his father wanted him to join the martial arts, and the Ministry of Punishment was his last line. He really had no choice.
As for letting my father "claim illness", this is unfilial.
Even though there are more than thirty people, it is still not good to hide your emotions, and others can see them at a glance.
Su Zhen took out a white porcelain bottle from his sleeve, handed it over and said:
"This is a tranquilizing pill. It is colorless and odorless when dissolved in water. It has no effect on the human body. It will just make him sleepy. Let your father sleep for a while first, at least until the martial arts test is over. Our Big things can’t happen again.”
Gu Huai looked at the white porcelain bottle in front of him but did not move to pick it up. Su Zhen was not in a hurry and just held it like this. After all, he had to make his own decision on this matter.
"Son, although we are son-in-law, in fact you and I are father and son. My son lost a leg on the battlefield, and this will be the case for the rest of his life. In the future, the entire Su family will still rely on you, Gu Huai, so your burden is very heavy. "
When Gu Huai heard this, he immediately made up his mind, took the porcelain bottle, and said:
"Don't worry, father-in-law, I will handle it well. If Wei Feng hadn't saved me back then, he wouldn't have lost a leg. From now on, I will be the one taking the lead between the Gu and Su families."
Su Zhen nodded happily, patted his shoulder and said:
"Hold on. Once the martial arts test is over and the dust has settled, we will be the master of the dragon, and everything will be different."
"Yes, I know."
Gu Huai took the porcelain bottle and strode out of the house. Su Zhen looked at his back and said nothing.
Ever since he was threatened by Gu Helin in the carriage last time, he had been holding this tone. His son is simply on his side. No matter how noble you are, Gu Helin, you still had a hand in the affairs of the Cheng and Yan families, and you can't wash them away.
Gu Huai drove back to the city overnight. Since the servants at the city gate were always there, the city gate was completely useless to the Gu and Su families. The carriage "squeaked...squeaked..." broke the quiet night. Luozi just came out of his colleague's house in the west of the city. When he saw the Gu family's carriage stopped, he narrowed his eyes and looked in the direction of the city gate, and did not move for a long time...
……
The martial arts test that has been publicized for a long time has finally been set. March 15th is an auspicious day, everything is suitable.
The examination room was set up in the Royal Garden 20 miles away from the outskirts of Beijing. It lasted for 15 days for preliminaries and re-examination on the third day of April. The final examination was held on April 28th, one day after the civil examination, in the palace.
During this period, Li Hui went out early and came back late every day. He couldn't take care of his family or his son at all.
Although the examination room and the martial arts examination are both managed by the Ministry of Etiquette, the money comes from the Ministry of Household Affairs, so someone must be sent to keep an eye on it. In the past, the Ministry of Revenue would randomly send a clerk to look up and down to get some money.
This time it didn't work. Not only did Li Hui come by himself, but the third prince Yan Mu also appeared every day. From large purchases to daily meals to smaller expenses, both of them must sign together.
Of course, it’s not to make things difficult for anyone. As long as the things you buy are reasonable, you will never be made difficult for. But the consequence of this is that those who are used to making money find that there is no benefit to be gained, so they become passive and slow down their work, such as Yan Hang, who calls himself the "Eighth Prince".
He is Yan Mu's cousin. Ever since his cousin became emperor, his father has been doing this kind of preliminary preparation work. He has been studying with his father since he was seventeen years old, and has become completely accustomed to his father's "getting money" model. Now that there is no profit, naturally he will not work hard.
Li Hui ignored him, and Yan Mu let it go. Anyway, as long as things were completed on time and with good quality, everything else wouldn't be a problem.
On the afternoon of the eighth day of March, Wen Tian competed with Wolf on the plum blossom pile. This was the last trial of facilities such as spider webs and pits. As long as there is no problem with the plum blossom pile test, the examination room will be sealed off, cleared, and heavily guarded by the Yulin Guards.
Since it was the last trial of the school martial arts field, the eldest prince and the second prince accompanied the emperor and came in person.
Li Hui and Yan Mu worked together to move the T chair and let him sit and watch at a position with a better view.
When the exchange of moves began, the two of them immediately went up to the plum blossom pile in the middle. Knowing that this was the last trial, they both went all out and secretly competed to see who had the better kung fu. As the exchange of moves became more intense, all the plum blossom stakes positioned outside were stepped on and used.
Wen Tian suddenly added a palm to his sword, and the wolf head could retreat and somersault to dodge. The two of them were chasing each other, and the plum blossom stakes in the outer position were used frequently. Just when they were both preparing to charge up their strength and use the palm——
"Bump-tear-"
The sound of an ax tearing apart a wooden branch, like splitting firewood, was heard instantly, and then the wolf lost his balance and fell straight backwards.
Wen Tian and Luo Zi, who happened to be on duty, saw this and stepped forward one after another. One held his collar to slow down the fall, and the other stretched out his hand to support his waist to prevent injury.
The two worked together to save the wolf head. Li Hui immediately asked Xu Enyang to find the craftsman in charge of the plum blossom pile. Yan Mu then asked people to try out the edge positions in other locations.
Yan Yunchen said nothing. Yan Jing and Yan Zhi both looked at their brother worriedly, fearing that he would be implicated.
Soon, the three men with Wolf Head came to the imperial court in disgrace and knelt down to salute. Everyone else also knelt on the ground. Li Hui was not worried. After all, he was the one who paid for everything. The Ministry of Etiquette took care of everything. If anything happened, just contact the person in charge of the Department of Etiquette. It had nothing to do with him.
He had good intentions, but Yan Yunchen didn't want to let him go.
"Li Aiqing, what do you think about this matter?"
Li Hui suddenly felt like "Yuanfang, what do you think?" He thought for a moment and said:
"Back to the emperor, I just need to wait for the news and not follow the news."
