8days ago Historical fiction 7
The people in the Marquis of Wuding were wearing mourning clothes, and there was a burst of crying.They cried not because of the emperor's death, but because of the old Marquis Guo Ying's death!

Yesterday, the Jingnan Army entered the capital. Today, Guo Ying drank poisonous wine and died for the country. When she died, she bleeding from her orifices and looked ferocious.

When the prince-consort Guo Zhen received the news, he hurried back to the Hou's Mansion.

At this time, the second son of the Marquis Guo Ming had already wiped the blood from his father's face and discussed with his brothers: he would say that his father died of illness during the funeral!

Two brothers did not agree, but the eldest son Guo Zhen quickly stood on the side of his second brother Guo Ming. The eldest brother had his opinion, so the Hou Mansion said that Guo Ying died of illness when she was old.

At this time, many shops in the capital were still closing. The incident suddenly occurred, and there were no items such as longevity materials, shroud clothes, etc. Some of them were crying and some were busy, and they were in chaos.

Guo Ming walked into the mourning hall with a dark face and called his wife Xu, who was wearing mourning clothes.

When they returned to the small courtyard where they lived, the old son was no one taking care of him and was crying loudly. Xu quickly went to coax his son.

Guo Ming followed and said: My father passed away. If we don’t think about it anymore, we will be in a state of decline in the future! It is difficult to pass on the marquis; even if he can inherit the title and belongs to the eldest brother, we can't remember it!

My father suddenly committed suicide and sacrificed his country. His loyalty and righteousness may have been preserved, but my father helped the Zhu family to conquer the country. If he made such great contributions, he would be a generation of glory and wealth?Guo Ming was extremely unwilling to accept it.

Xu said: Have you thought of a way?

At this moment, the two daughters had already changed into filial piety clothes. The eldest daughter Guo Yan said: Mom, we want a piece of white cloth to cut the filial piety clothes for my younger brother.

Xu wiped the tears and turned his head and said: Don’t worry, your father has something to say.She looked at Guo Ming again, saying that her husband insisted that his father-in-law died of illness, and he must not be willing to offend King Yàn. You are going to see King Yàn now. Is the right time?

I can see it if I want to see it?Guo Ming frowned and said, "If my father is here, I should be able to see him!"Alas, but...

Guo Ming paced back and forth a few steps and said in a deep voice: Xue Yan, the Minister of Dali Temple, mentioned the relationship between the Xu family, and I have been thinking about it over the past few days.Although I didn't move around very much, it was always OK to give it a try when things were about to come.

Is your husband talking about Princess Xu?Xu asked.

Guo Ming nodded and said: You have to come forward, Madam...

Xu said with a confused look on his face: She is the princess, I have never met her before, what are you saying?

Guo Ming turned around and looked at Guo Yan. Xu saw it and seemed to understand something.

Sure enough, Guo Ming said: I have inquired in detail. Princess Xu's second son, Prince Gaoyang, is nineteen years old this year. Because he has been fighting with Prince Yàn for many years, there is still no princess in the county.Madam, think about it, if our son is 19 years old and has not married yet, will the lady be very anxious?

As soon as he finished speaking, even Guo Yan heard that Xuanxu was coming. Guo Yan suddenly said pale: Father, will King Gaoyang beat someone to death?My daughter heard that he was extremely powerful in three heads and six arms, so she was a weird person!

Do you still believe those rumors in the market?Guo Ming frowned and said, "King Gaoyang is the grandson of Taizu, how can he look like that?"

Guo Yan said in a trembling voice: But he beat the imperial officials to death in the street with a disagreement. This matter is not fake.

King Gaoyang has been playing with swords and guns since he was a child. He has been fighting with his father all year round. He is just a warrior, and he is indeed a bit violent.But after all, it’s a royal family, not that scary, don’t worry too much.Guo Ming said.

Guo Yan said again: I met my aunt yesterday, and my aunt happened to talk about Prince Gaoyang.He said that as soon as he entered the capital, he killed the censor and even the people from Ying's family!He also occupied Lian Censor's Mansion.I went to the temple to grab a group of nuns and proclaimed lewdness in Lianfu all day long...

Guo Ming's brows never stretched out. Lian Ying first sued the governor Xu Zengshou, and ordered the governor Xu to be beheaded, and then he intended to assassinate King Yàn at the Jinchuan Gate.Lian Ying’s family was slaughtered, not because of King Gaoyang!The women in the Marquis's mansion could only hear some rumors in the market and could not take them seriously.

But no matter how you explain it, Gao Yang King is covered in stains and will definitely not be able to clean it.Many rumors are exaggerated, but there is indeed something!

Xu sighed and said nothing.

At this moment, Guo Yan suddenly felt weak and she fainted on the ground!

Xu and his second daughter Guo Wei hurriedly supported him. Xu immediately reached out to pinch Guo Yan's people. Guo Wei also helped rub his sister's temples with soft salad and called out nervously: Sister, sister...

...Guo Wei also understood what she meant from the words of her parents and her sister. It was nothing more than King Yàn who led his troops into the capital. His family wanted to curry favor with the powerful and discussed marrying his sister to King Yàn's second son King Gaoyang!

When he saw his sister, he was shocked and Guo Wei felt very sad. What kind of person is King Gaoyang? Many words were heard in my ears, and Guo Wei could already roughly imagine them...

A big and thick man with big beards drinks and eats meat in big mouthfuls, and he always hits people, and can kill people with a big punch with a big punch.

After drinking, saliva was still flowing from the mouth. When I saw the woman, my eyes were glowing. Whether it was a monk or a good wife, I went to bully her.

No wonder my sister was so scared that she looked pale!

Guo Yan finally woke up slowly, tears quietly slid from the corners of her eyes, flowing down to the ground, unable to speak.

In just one day, my sister was already in a state of desolation, her eyes straightened and her eyes were no longer turning.Guo Wei saw it and her internal organs were twisted together as if they were knotted.

My sister's voice murmured: I have been in a bad life since I was a child. My mother passed away before I grew up. My father was busy with official business all day long...

When Xu heard this, he stomped his feet and said: Husband, we can’t get to the top, there is nothing wrong with being a simple meal! Before Yan'er's mother died, I promised her to take good care of Yan'er's.

Guo Ming sighed: What the wife said is reasonable.Even if our family has the will, we may not be able to reach the top.I don’t know how many nobles and ministers want to seize this opportunity.

He paused and whispered, "King Yàn was originally a royal prince, but now he is leading troops into the capital and must be the emperor!"King Gaoyang has made great achievements in combat, and at least half of the world was defeated by him. It is said that most of the civil and military officials of the Yàn Palace support King Gaoyang. Soon, King Gaoyang will become the crown prince and will become the emperor in the future!If you marry a daughter, you can win the glory and wealth of your father-in-law. Who doesn’t want to?Even if our family is willing, it may not be able to compete for it.

The expression on Xu's face was gloomy and sunny. At this time, he turned to look at Guo Wei, showing a look of care.

Mom... Guo Wei called out in a trembling voice, and suddenly felt something was wrong.

Xu said softly: Weier, your sister has been more bitter than you since she was a child, and she cannot be partial to her mother.Although Wei Niang has always regarded Yan'er as her biological daughter, she is a concubine after all.The Gaoyang King was born in a prominent family, and our family was already in decline, and it was really not very appropriate to marry his concubine.

After hearing this, Guo Ming immediately said: It makes sense. Our family’s opportunities depend on the relationship between the wife and Princess Xu, but it has little to do with the Guo family.

Guo Wei looked at her parents and her sister at the moment. Their expressions were different, but they all had hope.

She whispered: I don’t like people like Gaoyang King, but I don’t want those who love me to be sad...

Will Weier?Guo Ming asked immediately.

Guo Wei bit her teeth, lowered her head and nodded slightly, and murmured: I remembered that I was ignorant when I was a child. Once, I snatched a cherry blossom from my sister, and my sister gave in to me, and she only cried in tears behind my back.I can't forget this matter, I just want to repay my sister in the future. Now it's just right.

When my sister heard this, she hugged Guo Wei, crying very sadly and hugging her very tightly.The sister cried and said: But Pity's sister, I'm sorry for you, wuwu...

Our whole family’s hopes are all on Weier.Guo Ming said.

This sentence echoed in her mind, as if it was repeated in her ears.She was not sure how miserable it would be in the future, but she felt it would not be easy, but for the sake of her loved ones, she felt it was worth it.

Without further ado!If the situation is settled and the nobles in the court come to their senses, our family will have no chance.Guo Ming paced anxiously, saying that this matter would have to follow the path of Xue Yan, the minister of Dali Temple... Xue Yan would definitely surrender!I went to see Xue Yan first, and then asked Xue Yan to recommend it to Princess Xu.

Guo Ming turned around and said, Madam, hurry up and write a handwritten letter to Princess Xu!

Xu said: The marquis's mansion is still in charge of funerals. Will the husband be told to see the guests now?

Guo Ming frowned and said: What should I care about so much? My father has passed away, and no matter how sad he is, he will not cry back. Let’s plan for ourselves first, and it is also a way of filial piety to bring glory to the ancestors of the Guo family.

So Xu got up and went into the house. Guo Ming said: Weier, go and polish ink for your mother.

Guo Wei also walked into the house. When she found the inkstone and came out to find water, she saw that her father was no longer there.

The sister came over and held her hand and said, "Silly sister, that letter is like your contract to sell your body, you are still grinding ink."It makes people feel heartbroken, I'll do it.

Guo Wei's face was pale, but she smiled. My sister loved me, so I felt that everything was worth it!

well.The sister sighed quietly, her guilt was written on her face, and she looked sad.

There was a wooden barrel next to the well in the yard, and there was still water left in it, so my sister poured it out.She placed the inkstone directly on the bench under the eaves, squatted down and grinded it.

While busy, my sister turned around and said: I have forgotten that cherry blossom, is it really that true?

Guo Wei gestured and said very carefully, as if she had just seen her yesterday.

She said: Do you still remember the imitate flowers dyed with nails?My sister smashed it and dyed it on the cherry blossom fruit. The cherry blossom was red and beautiful.

The two sisters talked about the various fruits, flowers and plants they had played with when they were childhood, and laughed from time to time.

But in the laughter, Guo Yan's guilt was still there, and the haze on Guo Wei's face had not faded... It seemed that suddenly, Guo Wei, who is only fourteen years old this year, seemed to have become much more sensible.
