Reborn I want to be a giant

Chapter 10
After thinking about it, Xu Ye knew what the other party was worried about. If it was spread that a man and a woman travel alone, it would definitely damage the reputation of both parties, and the woman would have to pay a much higher price than the man.Gu Changyan is the lady of the Duke's Mansion, so she really can't make such a mistake.So Xu Ye suggested: "Why don't you all go, I know the outer city well, I'll show you around."

Now everyone has no opinion.

The locations of Gu Changyan’s two villages are a bit far away, but Xu Ye immediately had a picture in his mind after seeing the very simple route map, and quickly estimated the time required for the round trip. He told Gu Changyan that the road is not good now Go, I can only go to one of them today.Gu Changyan had no objection.

The two carriages staggered away from the house, and the road outside was even worse. Fortunately, Xu Ye is really familiar with the outer city, so he can always choose the best possible place to go.The journey was not difficult.On the way, I took a break at the tea shop.

"The elder in Mr. Xu's family is Mr. Xu Ze, Minister of Dali Temple?"

"It's my father."

"Why did you look like that yesterday?" It was like rolling out of a quagmire.

"It's just an accident." This is not easy to explain, and other things are involved in it.

The conversation between the two made Gu Changyan want to touch his forehead. After a long time, Xu Ye and Weng Qimin were not familiar with each other, but they just knew that there was someone like each other.

After the carriage started again, it stopped stopping halfway. When Zhuangzi's collapsed house appeared in front of him, Gu Changyan felt a lot of pressure, and there was no crops in the current season, and the endless fields were only weeds and rocks.Because it was getting late, Xu Ye asked the coachman to go around the small road outside Zhuangzi before returning.

This trip was quite a blow to Gu Changyan's self-confidence, and she didn't want to see another Zhuangzi right now.With no money and no hands, such a large place cannot be tidied up in a short while.We can only put it aside for the time being, and wait for the tavern to make a profit next year.

Back to Weng Qimin's house, it was indeed evening.Weng Qimin wanted to eat hot pot again, and he didn't look tired at all.Of course, Gu Changyan could only agree to her, but after asking everyone's opinions today, she made a slightly spicy sauerkraut pot bottom, and added a piece of fatty beef slices and fresh mushrooms to the main course. As for the dessert after dinner, it was Simple lotus seed lily soup.

It should be said that this chili pepper has appeared in Dai Viet, but it is not popular because it is not a good seller. For the convenience of storage, merchants habitually dry it into dried chili peppers and put them in humble drawers.

Xu Ye was more depressed because he was planning to go back to the city today, but why he started eating again and couldn't stop chopsticks.

Gu Changyan saw that everyone kept eating fatty beef, and felt a little melancholy. In this era, cattle are a very important production tool, and only people like them who grew up in the wealthy circle eat it with peace of mind.If you want to change the homes of ordinary people, if the cattle are stolen, die of illness or accidental death, it is no different from the sky falling.

"Sister Gu, what shall we do tomorrow?" Weng Qimin just asked casually.

As long as you don't make food, you can do anything.Gu Changyan answered in his heart.But he didn't express his thoughts on the face.

It didn't rain today, which is a sign that the weather is getting better, and there will be a moon at night.Gu Yanqing was studying in the room, Weng Qimin took a bath under the service of Haitang, and Weng Fan was already asleep.Gu Changyan didn't want to read or sleep, so she walked out of the room alone, found the small stove under the eaves of the front hall where she used to make fruit tea during the day, boiled a pot of boiled water, and then sat on the threshold in a daze.Until Xi'er came to persuade her to go back.

Xu Ye set off early the next morning, and he took away the remaining candied lotus roots and candied dates, but Weng Fan didn't make a fuss, because Gu Changyan made four cans and put them in the hot spring.At the same time, they also prepared a few bamboo tubes for hot spring bacon rice.In short, this trip to the outer city is to keep cooking for a few children.She wasn't unhappy, she had regained some of her previous life's way of life, she was just feeling a little emotional.

On the day of returning to the city, the rare sun came out in the sky.Weng Qimin's farm had poultry in addition to food, so she had someone tie up twenty fat chickens and two baskets of lotus root, and asked Gu Changyan to take them back.Gu Changyan didn't want it at first, and she felt a little sorry for having to eat, live and pay these days.But when she wanted to refuse, the cook had already put the chicken in a cage and carried it into the carriage.

People in Liang Guogong's mansion heard that the brother and sister brought back twenty chickens, so they naturally said everything.The little brothers and sisters didn't care, but Xi'er said politely in front of the manager that if the big kitchen didn't like it, they didn't mind taking the chicken back to Mujin Yard.The general manager is not a simple person, and many of the gossip servants in the house were reprimanded that night.

"Young Master, I have found out. On the day of Prince Rui's birthday, the Second Miss followed the Eldest Miss and discovered that the Eldest Miss had a private meeting with the prince of the Marquis of Weiyuan in the woods. The Second Miss returned to the viewing platform and found a few young ladies to meet again. Go, I didn't see Weiyuan Hou Shizi, but the second lady insisted on accusing the eldest lady of acting suspiciously, and then the eldest lady pushed the second lady." This is why Gu Changyu had a bad face after changing his clothes that day.

"Later, the eldest lady had someone poison the horse that the second lady was driving. The second lady was so angry that she robbed you and the third lady of the car and drove back to the mansion. Nothing happened to the horse that the eldest lady drove, but she was afraid that the second lady would sue the Duke. , so I also falsely claimed that my car had an accident." Putting myself in the position of the victim will naturally mislead the Duke.

Then again, servants like them can find out the truth of that day, so can the Duke not find out?This is partiality to the ends of the earth, and now she is still thinking about covering her eldest daughter's shame.

Gu Yanqing was very annoyed. Gu Changxi and Gu Changyu didn't care if they lived or died, but they shouldn't drag Gu Changyan into trouble.He wrote down this account, and one day he will get it back for his sister with interest.And Gu Changyan's way of thinking is not quite the same as that of her little brother. She was curious about how Gu Changxi found something that poisoned the horse in such a short period of time.

Prince Rui's Mansion

Every time the prince comes, the atmosphere in the house is not very good.Everyone is tense on weekdays, and they are even more worried when it comes to this time.Ever since he hurt his leg after beating the Fourth Highness, the temperament of a good person has changed drastically, and his temper is unpredictable, not to mention the servants, even the emperor dares to speak his mouth.But everyone knows what kind of situation he is, so they all indulge him.As time passed by, he became more confident, and Prince Rui's Mansion became a place that others would not easily dare to visit.If the last birthday banquet hadn't been made by the Crown Princess to the empress, the empress would probably not have been able to make her son happy.

Yun Jue came to Baiyeju with a bowl of sweet soup, tapped on the door three times with her well-maintained fingers, and pushed the door open without waiting for the people inside to respond.

Zhao Yanran was sitting on a wooden wheelchair, concentrating on flipping through the account books.It has been such a long time, so long that Yun Jue forgot how many days and nights it was.She often falls into contradictions and hesitates.Should she stay with him for the rest of her life, or pursue her own future, after all, she is still young.

Zhao Yanran didn't raise her head, but saw that the other party was standing aside for a long time, she was a little impatient, "What's the matter?"

Yun Jue came back to her senses, "Your Highness, this servant made sweet soup for you, you can eat it while it's hot." She was used to being good at these snacks, and she often made them in the queen's palace in her early years, and even the emperor and princes once praised them Absolutely.

It's just that Zhao Yanran was not included among these people.

"Understood." Since being injured, Zhao Yanran has changed her life habits, and is only busy with the affairs of her own one-third of an acre of land every day.In the eyes of others, he is giving up on himself, and he doesn't bother to explain.

Yun Jue put the sweet soup on the tea table, and made a salute to leave Baiyeju, but Zhao Yanran remembered something and stopped her.

Zhao Yanran is the emperor's second son, and has a brother from the same mother, his status is self-evident.Even if he is disabled now, it is still an unattainable existence.Zhao Yanran's appearance is not a standard handsome man, but he has a lovable baby face, which is the same as his emperor's father when he was young, so he can easily give others the impression that he is easy to get along with.And before that, he was indeed a person who was easy to get along with and had a wide range of friends.

Until that accident happened, which changed the trajectory of his life.In his own words, God made the choice for him.

"What other orders does Your Highness have?" Yun Jue lowered his eyebrows and was pleasing to the eye.

"I remember saying last year that I would let you go out of the house. Why, haven't you figured out where to go yet?" Zhao Yanran turned the wheelchair and faced her.

Yun Jue was slightly taken aback, she didn't expect Zhao Yanran to bring up this matter again, or she had been waiting for Zhao Yanran to remember it.She really wanted to leave, especially after Zhao Yanran's temperament changed drastically.The feeling of not being able to control a person makes her uneasy, but more worried about her own future.So what about a prince who is favored again, if he is disabled, he is doomed to have no greater fortune in this life. She doesn't want to be trapped in this world for the rest of her life.

But what she thought in her heart was not consistent with her appearance on the face, so she knelt down, "Is there something wrong with the servant, and your highness wants to drive the servant away?" Naturally, two lines of tears were indispensable.

Looking at Yun Jue who was crying like pear blossoms and rain below, Zhao Yanran felt nothing in his heart.Since he was injured, he calmed down completely and took a good look at himself and the people around him.Those who didn't pay attention in the past have seen a lot in the past two years.

Yun Jue entered the palace since she was a child, and was the queen mother's personal servant girl. She was very respectable in the palace, and the concubines sometimes had to look at her face. After a long time, everyone knew that she was not a thing in the pool, and sooner or later she would be lucky.

Zhao Yanran didn't have much contact with Yun Jue in the past, because he really had too many things to do, too many banquets to attend, and apart from his parents and relatives, he rarely had time to communicate with the servants.But just before he was about to leave the palace and open the mansion, the empress gave Yun Jue to him.Zhao Yanran didn't think about it that much at the time, he was busy opening the mansion, it was a big deal, and it had to be magnificent to entertain friends.Although he didn't understand the real intention of the queen at that time, the queen mother would never harm him.Thus, Yun Jue became his roommate.

What the queen meant at the beginning was that Yun Jue was for his enlightenment, but he couldn't help him up immediately, as he could only be raised into a concubine after he had a concubine.Zhao Yanran has his own heart, and knows that he has a marriage, and he has no feelings for a court lady, so he obeys the queen's exhortations.In addition, Yun Jue has never revealed any obvious intentions, and he has such a well-behaved, sensible and decent appearance, so he didn't think too much about it.

Later, he was injured, he had no more sex, no more relationships, and the days were cold and peaceful, and many things that he hadn't noticed before gradually became clear.Yun Jue, he didn't want to stay anymore.

"For the sake of serving me, I will try my best to fulfill you. Give me an answer as soon as possible, otherwise you can choose between Zhuangzi and the temple."

After the people went out, Manager Liu came in, "Master, would you like to hear about the affairs of Duke Liang's mansion?"

Zhao Yanran raised his eyebrows and frowned, this marriage was really difficult for him, neither Gu Changxi nor Gu Changyan was the woman he wanted to marry. "Why, there is still an inside story?" Half mocking tone.

"The Empress Dowager appointed you and Miss Gu back then, but after you were injured, Miss Gu became... a little unwilling. Seeing that the imperial decree of Empress Jiji was about to come down, she forced him to die and asked Duke Liang to find a way to retreat. This marriage. Liang Guogong loves his daughter dearly, but he can't let go of the benefits brought by this marriage, so he went the way of the concubine Xian, and changed the marriage partner on the grounds that you two are not compatible, and became the third miss of the Gu family. Then Gu San Miss's biological mother, Aunt Chen's grandma, also had a quarrel at the beginning, and the husband and wife seemed to be in harmony for many years, and it was Liang Guogong who finally made an exchange with his wife."

Zhao Yanran only thought it was absurd, he could understand that Gu Changxi looked down on him as a cripple, and he also looked down on his current state for a long time.But Liang Guogong is also Gu Changyan's biological father after all, so if you don't care about your children, you should also care about the Chen family, the outer family, right?What is this, for the sake of an older daughter, she offended the younger daughter's prominent natal family and chose to stand in line.

"The Empress Dowager is used to being cautious, and the Bazi Qin Tianjian must have passed it."

Steward Liu went on to say: "The concubine Xian also put her heart into letting the people in the Ministry of Rites mention your marriage to the emperor. The people in the Ministry of Rites thought of you and said that the empress dowager got married in the early years, so you might as well be more cautious now and get married again. In addition to Qin Tianjian, I also searched for Tianshui Temple and Cheng'en Temple, and they all said...it was wrong. The emperor didn't want to go against the wishes of the first queen mother, so he agreed to the proposal of the concubine Xian, and asked the Gu family to send the third lady's horoscope to... "Everyone knows what happened afterwards.

Zhao Yanran recalled that the crown prince came to drink with him specially before, and faltered about the marriage contract.Thinking that he would go crazy, he tried every means to get rid of the merits of Miss Gu's third, but it was a pity that Gu San was only an existence in the circle of noble women in the capital, and he didn't have any remarkable deeds. Few people had even seen this character. There is no way to know about the thinness, so the prince nagged for a long time, and finally surrounded Gu San's grandfather Chen's family.In the future, Zhao Yanran will be a leisure king who will not be bullied by others, and the Chen family is a good support.

But the crown prince still thinks too well. The current attitude of the Chen family towards Chen Mengling and the Gu family brothers and sisters has indirectly shown that they will not become supporters of this marriage.And Zhao Yanran never thought of relying on his wife's family from the beginning to the end.

Seeing that the master looked calm, Mr. Liu briefly reported a few episodes on the day of the birthday party.One was the farce between Miss Gu's family and Miss Two, the other was that the Crown Princess intentionally placed Miss Gu close to him, and there were a few small disputes between other guests, none of which were serious matters.

"Is Wan Qing's Jiji ceremony ready?" Zhao Yanran asked suddenly.

Manager Liu's heart trembled, "It's ready."

"Let's send Jiji that day." She should like it.
