Begin your journey to the heavens from knowing or not

"shut up……"

Seeing that Rulan was still talking back, Hua Lan couldn't help but start to preach, but as soon as she said two words, she heard someone behind her say,
"Fifth sister is right! It's just idle talk by boring people, don't worry about it!"

Hualan turned around and saw that it was Xu Wenhui and her husband Yuan Wenshao. It was Xu Wenhui who had interrupted just now, so she quickly saluted and said with a smile:
"Official, cousin, it's you!"

Hua Lan was somewhat uncomfortable when Xu Wenhui and Yuan Wenshao caught her scolding her sister because of the rumors!

"You guys weren't drinking inside, so why did you come out? Is there something going on?"

Minglan and Rulan next to them also saw Xu Wenhui and saluted quickly.
"Eldest brother-in-law, cousin!"

Xu Wenhui saw that the faces of several people were a little ugly, so he smiled and said:

"Haha, I heard some gossip, so we came over to take a look! How about it, it seems that you are quite affected!"

It turns out that Yuan Wenshao and Xu Wenhui also heard those bad rumors.

Just now, we were talking about introducing Sanlan to friends, so Yuan Wenshao suggested coming over to take a look!
It can be regarded as a support for the Yue family. As the master, Xu Wenhui has the obligation to calm down these chaos, so he has no objection!
At this time, Yuan Wenshao saw that his wife Hualan was still a little awkward. Knowing that it was because she had just broken into her and scolded her sister, he smiled and said:
"Madam, don't blame the fifth sister. What the fifth sister said is actually right. Those people just couldn't see the prosperity of the Sheng family and made some sarcastic remarks. There is no need to worry about these!"

Rulan was immediately excited when she heard that Xu Wenhui and her brother-in-law Yuan Wenshao agreed with her, and said with a smile:
"Really, cousin and eldest brother-in-law, do you think so too? I just said it, don't worry about it!

Those people just take care of themselves and don't worry about it. Instead of doing their own business, they just want to join in the fun! "

As he spoke, he gave Hua Lan a proud look, which seemed to mean, Sister, look at it, my cousin and brother-in-law of the Xu family both agree with me!
Seeing this, Hua Lan was too lazy to answer Ru Lan. She looked directly at Xu Wenhui and Yuan Wenshao and said with some worry:

"Youdao means three people can make a tiger. If these people are allowed to talk nonsense, wouldn't it be detrimental to the reputation of the Sheng family!"

As soon as these words came out, Ru Lan also put away the pride on her face and became a little worried. What the big family cares about is face. It is not good for the family's reputation, but it is a big deal!

But Minglan wasn't too worried. Instead, she looked at Xu Wenhui and Yuan Wenshao thoughtfully!

Sure enough, Yuan Wenshao laughed, made a gesture of invitation, and said:

"Haha, that's because they don't know the Sheng family. Come on, General Xu and I will take you for a walk and make some friends!"

Xu Wenhui also nodded towards Minglan and said with a smile:
"Let's go, there happen to be some relatives and friends you don't know, I'll take you to meet them!"

Upon hearing this, Minglan understood what the two of them meant.
With the heirs of Yongyi Houfu and Zhongqinhoufu coming forward to support him, the bad influence on the Sheng family will naturally be nothing!
really,

As Xu Wenhui and Yuan Wenshao took the three orchids around to introduce them to some relatives and friends,
Everywhere you go you are greeted with smiling faces, and the atmosphere becomes festive and peaceful again! The appearance of the birthday banquet has been restored!
Even if there are some slanderous words behind his back, it is mostly from those who admire him, and there are rarely any slanderous words!
……

The birthday banquet is next,
eat and drink,

Some were watching plays, some were throwing pots, and some were playing, everything was very lively!

period,

Mrs. Xu also specially called Xu Wenhui and Xu Wenzhao to Ning'an Hall.

Let the two of them pay tribute to these honorable ladies present!
Xu Wenhui also obeyed the orders obediently and acted very close to his cousin Xu Wenzhao!

Perhaps the previous death of Xu Wenpin stimulated Mrs. Xu to pay more attention to Xu Wenzhao, the only grandson of her second wife!

Now Mrs. Xu is determined to find a decent in-law for Xu Wenzhao, and she doesn't want Xu Wenzhao to be wronged!

The reason why we still hold this birthday banquet at this time has this meaning!
Xu Wenhui was also very cooperative this time.
On the one hand, he couldn't get rid of the old lady's request, and on the other hand, he also wanted the second roommate to take his mind off Xu Wenpin's death as soon as possible and divert his attention!

After all, the second roommate talked to Xu Wenpin every day, and Xu Wenhui couldn't handle it very well!
I don’t know yet whether it will have any effect.
Anyway, I wandered around for a while.
Xu Wenhui has finally completed his mission!
Next, Xu Wenhui also introduced He Hongwen to Li Chengdong!

I think Li Chengdong will find an opportunity to take He Hongwen to diagnose and treat Li Qiyan!

……

On the second day,
It happens to be a court meeting held every three days.

Not surprisingly,

Guan Jia's health is still not good,
There is no court again,

So a group of officials had no choice but to come out from Wende Palace.
Everyone goes back to their own yamen official duties!

Xu Wenhui and Cao Guozhang also dressed in official uniforms and prepared to return to the Qinjun Department together.
Chatting while walking,
Zhu Manniang probably took advantage of Xu Mansion's birthday banquet to cause a scene, and her influence was really quite big!

Even Cao Guozhang heard about it.

So Cao Guozhang naturally asked about this matter! Curious said:
"I heard that the second son of the Gu family wanted to kill his wife and son in order to marry a girl from the Sheng family. Is it true? I heard that this matter has even reached your doorstep!"

"Oh? Sir Cao also heard about this?" Xu Wenhui glanced at Cao Guozhang in surprise. Apparently he didn't expect that the old man was also such a gossip, but he still shook his head and said with a smile:

"Those are just rumors! Zhong Huai is not that kind of person!"

Cao Guozhang looked unbelieving when he heard this. His mother-in-law also went to the Xu family for a birthday banquet yesterday. When she came back, she said she had a nose and eyes.

Cao Guozhang thought that Xu Wenhui could not speak ill of the Gu family because of his friendship with the Gu family, so he said:
"I said, Boxheng, you can't lie to me! I know you have a good relationship with the Gu family! But this matter has spread all over Bianjing! How can it be false!"

As he spoke, Cao Guozhang looked around seriously, and then said with a smile:
"Anyway, Marquis Gu isn't here today! Just talk, don't worry!"

It’s really hard for Xu Wenhui to explain too much about this matter. If he talks too much, it’s easy to talk about the underworld in the Gu family’s house.
It was not easy for him as an outsider to interfere, so he just said:

"Of course Wen Hui wouldn't dare to deceive Mr. Cao! Judging from my relationship with Zhong Huai, he is indeed not such a person!"

At this moment, Zhang Kai, who was passing by, probably heard the conversation between Xu Wenhui and Cao Guozhang.
He leaned over and interjected:
"Brother Cao, Boxheng, were you just talking about Gu Tingye, the second son of the Gu family?"

Zhang Kai is the younger brother of the current British father-in-law. He and Xu Wenhui once worked together in the northwest, so we are all familiar with him! Seeing Zhang Kai interrupt, Xu Wenhui and Cao Guozhang naturally exchanged greetings!
"It turns out to be Brother Zhang!"

"Uncle Shi!" As a junior, Xu Wenhui naturally answered Zhang Kai's question and continued:

"Yes, Uncle Shi heard it well. It was Zhong Huai that Mr. Cao and I were talking about! There were some bad rumors about Zhong Huai yesterday, and Mr. Cao and I were talking about it! Did Uncle Shi also hear about it?"

"Yeah, I heard that too!"

Zhang Kai nodded when he heard this, then looked at Xu Wenhui and said:
"I just heard you defending the second son of the Gu family. I think you really got the wrong person this time!"

Xu Wenhui was still a little confused when he heard this, and Cao Guozhang immediately said with great interest:

"Brother Zhang, what do you say?" As he said this, he thought that Zhang Kai's residence seemed to be not far from the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion. Could he know some inside story? So he quickly asked out of curiosity:
"Maybe Brother Zhang knows the details, tell us quickly!"

Zhang Kai didn't hide it, he sighed and said:

"I don't know the inside story, but I think those rumors are 80% true!

Yesterday afternoon, the Gu family was in chaos. They said that Gu Hou was sick because of that Gu Tingye! There were several imperial doctors here!
Tell me, if Gu Tingye had followed the rules and behaved decently, could he have made his father so angry..."

Cao Guozhang and Xu Wenhui were both shocked when they heard this, and they no longer cared about Gu Tingye's character. They both quickly asked about Gu Yankai's situation.
Xu Wenhui asked:
"Uncle Shi! How is Gu Shibo? Is it serious?"

Cao Guozhang also shook his head repeatedly. He just thought that Gu Yankai didn't come to court today because he was a little embarrassed about the rumored incident and was too embarrassed to see anyone. He was so angry!

What a sin to have such a naughty son!
"Yes, Brother Zhang, have you asked the imperial doctor? What did the imperial doctor say?"

Zhang Kai shook his head and replied:

"I can't find out the specifics, but I'm afraid I'm not optimistic. When I went to court in the morning, I saw that the Gu family was still nervous. Everyone from four to five bedrooms in their house came over! If Gu Hou was in good condition, how could he even have separate rooms? Everyone is shocked!"

Xu Wenhui and Cao Guozhang looked at each other, obviously not expecting Gu Yan's meeting to be so serious!

Especially Xu Wenhui, he originally thought that with his butterfly effect,
Gu Tingye was not deceived by Zhu Manniang like in the original work. Gu Yankai should be fine, but he still seemed a little weak!

Seeing that Xu Wenhui and Cao Guozhang were stunned by the news, Zhang Kai sighed and said:
"Hey, Gu Hou has a great reputation, but he has such a son! It's really..."

Cao Guozhang nodded in agreement upon hearing this.
"Brother Zhang is right, Gu Hou Yingwu is famous! He has always been in good health. If he didn't have such a son, how could he be so angry!"

It was hard for Xu Wenhui to explain to Gu Tingye at this time. After all, strictly speaking, whether he was being plotted or not, Gu Tingye's attitude towards Gu Yankai was quite rebellious!

At this time Zhang Kai asked again:

"I'm going to visit the Gu family later. Do you two want to go with me?"

When Xu Wenhui saw Zhang Kai looking at him when he spoke, he knew that this man might have something to discuss with him, so he looked at Cao Guozhang and said:
"Mr. Cao, the director of our department is not good at all. Otherwise, you should work hard and let the department take care of it! I am Gu Hou's junior, and I should go to visit earlier! Wait for Ya Cao It’s not too late, sir!”

After hearing this, Cao Guozhang thought about it and felt that what Xu Wenhui said made sense. His relationship with the Gu family was not as close as Xu Wenhui's. He also wanted to report this situation to the queen, so he nodded in agreement and said:

"It's okay if you go first. I'm in charge of everything in the office! Bo Sheng, if Gu Hou needs anything, just tell me!"

Xu Wenhui naturally knew what Cao Guozhang meant. There were countless precious medicinal materials in Da Nei Pharmacy, and Cao Guozhang was the younger brother of Queen Cao. If the Gu family was in need, it would be right to turn to Cao Guozhang!

Regardless of whether it is used or not, people are always kind-hearted, so Xu Wenhui agreed:

"Then I'll mention Gu Shibo and thank General Cao first!"

No more politeness next time,

Xu Wenhui and Zhang Kai left the palace gate together and went to the Gu family!
Cao Guozhang also turned around and went to Funing Palace!
……

Go to the Gu family's carriage,
Without Cao Guozhang,
Zhang Kai and Xu Wenhui talked without any scruples.
Zhang Kai said with a serious face:
"What a troubled time! Something happened to Marquis Gu at this time..."

Xu Wenhui understood what Zhang Kai meant. Now that the inheritance of the throne had reached a critical moment,
There's no telling what accident will happen.
The more power you hold in your hands, the more secure you will be. However, when something happened to Gu Yan, who held real power, the power among the nobles weakened a lot!

No wonder Zhang Kai looks ugly!

Zhang Kai thought of something and slapped the table angrily:
"The worst thing is that the Gu family has no heirs. Not to mention those in the eldest family, they are either lingering on the sickbed or they are playboys! Every one of them can be used!

Unfortunately, the four and five rooms in their house are full of rubbish. They have grown so old in vain and cannot stand up to them at the critical moment! "

If those in the fourth and fifth houses of the Gu family are like Zhang Kai and have some prestige in the army, they can take advantage of the situation and let them take over first!

At this critical moment, there won’t be much turmoil!
"It's not the worst yet!" Xu Wenhui shook his head, thinking that the most important thing was Gu Yankai's physical condition, and asked:
"Has Gu Shibo's body really reached that point? Wasn't it always fine before? It's not this serious! Could it be..."

Xu Wenhui somewhat didn't believe it. He had seen Gu Yankai a few days ago. Although he looked a little weak, he was not that bad!

Xu Wenhui couldn't help but wonder if it wasn't an accident that Gu Yankai was seriously ill this time?

Could it be that the sinister and cruel Xiao Qin was plotting to kill her husband?
Zhang Kai saw that Xu Wenhui didn't believe it, and there was still some confusion on his face. As if he could see Xu Wenhui's suspicion, he looked around and whispered:
"Cao Guozhang didn't tell me the truth just now. I actually asked an imperial doctor I knew well.
I'm afraid it's just a few days for Gu Hou!

The imperial doctor said that in the past, Marquis Gu looked healthy, but in fact he worried too much and his organs were weaker than those of ordinary people.

In addition, I have been infected with wind and cold recently, and my emotions have been suddenly stimulated. It is possible that my body may have something unexpected..."

Worrying too much? Could it be that he misses his ex-wife who died young?

Xu Wenhui had heard that Gu Yankai was very fond of his first wife, but that wife had always been in poor health and died very young!
Whether it’s missing his deceased wife or worrying about the future of the Gu family!

Or maybe a combination of both. In short, it doesn’t seem like a deliberate attempt to murder.
Then this matter is closely related to Zhu Manniang's trouble yesterday.

It seems that Gu Tingye's reputation as a prodigal son cannot escape! (End of chapter)
