The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife

Gu Jiao is now living in the National Teacher Hall, her first reaction is naturally to bring her family to her side.

After thinking about it, I felt wrong again.

She lived in the National Teacher Hall to heal the princess's injuries, and it was barely reasonable to take in two "patients" who came here because of the reputation. She also brought in the "citizens" who came to Yan Kingdom with her, which was a bit strange no matter how you looked at it. strange look.

It is easy to make King Dayan suspicious.

"I have to think about it tonight." Gu Jiao said heartily.

Several people stayed in the inn.

Gu Jiao took out iodophor and golden sore medicine from the first aid kit, and carefully cleaned the wounds for Master Nan and Master Lu.

The two of them mostly had skin injuries, and Master Lu had been protecting Mrs. Nan, who was slightly more injured than Mrs. Nan.

"Don't rush over!" Nan Shiniang glared at him.

Master Lu chuckled: "I'm rough-skinned and thick-skinned, I'll take a beating!"

——He got it out of fighting with the horse king.

Gu Jiao treated all the injuries to Master Lu, and reminded: "Don't get water on the wound, it will be fine in a few days."

"Are you injured?" Mrs. Nan asked.

"I'm not hurt." Gu Jiao said, "Nor are Ayan and Xiaoshun."

Master Nan let out a long breath, it doesn't matter to the two adults, as long as the children are fine.

Master Lu asked, "By the way, Jiaojiao, why did you leave the city in the middle of the night?"

Gu Jiao took out the token of the National Teacher Hall hanging on her waist: "I have this."

I'm so obedient, I even got the token of the National Teacher Hall, this girl is doing well in the inner city.

Too many things have happened recently, and the space for writing on the note is limited, so I haven't had time to discuss it with Nan Shiniang and the others in detail.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Gu Jiao told Mrs. Nan and Master Lu about the recent events. It just so happened that Gu Xiaoshun and Gu Yan also came over after changing their clothes, and listened to a series of heavy news from Gu Jiao's mouth.

Everyone's focus is different.

But the surprises are all the same.

Jiaojiao snatched the Black Wind Knight from the Han family?

Gu Changqing was injured?

The Empress Dowager and the old Jijiu came to the country of Yan?

In contrast, although the fall of the crown prince and Concubine Han was surprising, they did not receive much attention.

What they care more about is their own situation.

"...That's how things are." Gu Jiao concluded with one sentence.

The person involved was very calm, and the hearts of Master Nan and Master Lu had already set off turbulent waves.

The water in the pond in Shengdu has been muddy, and the situation has reached a point of tension. The ten great families seem to be monolithic, but in fact each has their own selfish motives.

Now there are five families that Jiaojiao and the others have taken advantage of, but if Nangong's family is counted, there are six more, among which the struggle with the Han family is the most intense.

"The Nangong family doesn't seem to be doing much lately." Nan Shiniang said thoughtfully.

The Nangong family has indeed been a bit too quiet recently. The only thing that got the limelight was the selection of the commander of the Black Wind Rider.

And because he failed, he suddenly became the laughing stock of the audience.

Master Lu snorted, "Nangong Li's death has dealt a heavy blow to them, and the crown prince followed suit. The Nangong family may have to think about whether they want another master to follow them?"

The Nangong family, which holds 400,000 military power, has become the favorite of today. Once the Han family falls, the Nangong family will be among the top ten families.

I don't know if they will have this chance.

"It's getting late, you guys should hurry up to rest." Nan Seniang stopped the conversation in time, otherwise the conversation would have to wait until dawn.

The few of them have nothing to do, but Jiaojiao is always on the move.

The three children returned to their respective rooms.

Gu Xiaoshun shares a room with Gu Yan, Gu Jiao shares a room, and Mr. Meng also shares a room alone.

Not long after Gu Jiao lay down, Gu Yan came over.

He climbed onto the bed and lay down beside Gu Jiao.

Then he didn't say a word, just put his arms around Gu Jiao's waist, rested his chin lightly on her shoulder, and breathed a breath that made him feel at ease.

Gu Jiao lay flat on the bed, quietly looking in the direction of the curtain.

He said with a hint of pleading: "Don't be angry with me, okay? I won't be like this in the future."

"En." Gu Jiao raised her hand, one arm resting behind her head, and the other held his hand.

There are too many emotions in this world, and I can't feel them. Only through you can I cross the black and white zone.

"I'm very nervous now, do you feel it?" Gu Yan asked.

"Well, I feel it, the pulse is beating very fast."

Gu Yan's face darkened.

Who told you to pinch my pulse?

"There's still excitement, joy, and pride..." Gu Jiao felt it all.

——It’s nice to be a normal person, it’s nice to be a big brother who protects his family once, and how can I run so well, haha! I'm such a bully baby Yan!

Gu Jiao looked at the top of the tent: "Well, it is indeed a cow."

-

Although she tossed until midnight last night, Gu Jiao still got up before dawn.

The sky is gray, and a piece of fish-belly white seems to be about to surge out.

Gu Jiao sat up and found two small boxes beside her pillow.

She was stunned for a while before remembering that Gu Yan seemed to have stuffed something into her hand when she left. She was a little confused at the moment, and didn't care too much, so she casually put it beside the pillow.

As for why there are two——

After Gu Yan left, it seemed that Gu Xiaoshun also came over.

He also stuffed her with something.

"A mechanism box?" Gu Jiao took it in her hand and looked at it.

These two mechanism boxes are the life-saving things that Master Lu gave to Gu Xiaoshun and Gu Yan. They were so dangerous last night that they were not willing to use them, so it is unequivocal to give them to Gu Jiao.

"At first glance, it is Master Lu's craftsmanship."

This level, Gu Xiaoshun can't do it yet.

Gu Jiao almost understood the importance of these two mechanism boxes. She dressed neatly, washed up, and went to the next door lightly.

Gu Yan and Gu Xiaoshun slept soundly.

Gu Yan's sleeping posture is very good, and he can stay motionless all night.

Gu Xiaoshun's original sleeping posture was quite bad, but in order not to kick Gu Yan, he forced himself to hold back.

Gu Jiao put the mechanism box back into their pockets.

Gu Jiao left a note in her room, saying that she was going out for a while and would come over in the afternoon.

She was going to solve the housing problem.

When she returned to the National Teacher Hall, her aunt was still sleeping in her cage, Gu Jiao didn't wake her up, and went directly to Xiao Heng's room.

Xiao Qingkong has no class today, so he got up early to coil trees in the yard.

Xiao Heng just changed his clothes and looked like he was about to go out. When he saw Gu Jiao came back, he hurriedly asked: "How is it?"

Gu Jiao went out to save people last night, only he and the national teacher knew.

Gu Jiao said: "The Han family has made a move. Everyone is fine. They are staying at the inn tonight. I think it's time to arrange a place for them."

"Let's live in the inner city." Xiao Heng said, "Anyway, the Han family has already been eyeing it. There is no difference between the inner city and the outer city for the Han family. Come to the inner city."

Gu Jiao thought it was feasible.

Xiao Heng said: "I have been looking for a house for the past few days. The guarantor said yesterday that there is a small courtyard that suits my needs. Would you like to go and see it together?"

Before Gu Jiao could answer, Xiao Qing Kong stood on tiptoe from the window, showing half of his head: "I want to go too! I want to go too!"

The two of them took the little trumpeter and got into the carriage together.

When they arrived at the place agreed with the guarantor, the guarantor bowed his hands politely, but he didn't inquire about the identities of the other young masters brought by Xiao Heng, but said kindly: "Mr. Long is here, I and The owner of the small courtyard has said hello, we can go and see it now."

The guarantor leads the way.

Gu Jiao whispered: "Still using Long Yi's name? What are you going to do when signing the lease documents?"

Xiao Heng also replied in a low voice: "Grandpa made a fake guide, it's enough to fool one guarantor."

Gu Jiao secretly stretched out her thumb, uncle, cowhide.

Xiao Jingkong led the two adults, bouncing and jumping, very happy!

The family came to the house mentioned by the guarantor.

This is on a relatively quiet old street, most of the residents have moved out, the location looks a bit old, but the furnishings in the house are new, with excellent lighting and ventilation.

Xiao Heng looked at the guarantor who was negotiating with the owner of the small courtyard in front, and said to Gu Jiao: "This is very close to Lingbo Academy, go through the alley in front, and take a carriage to the east for more than a quarter of an hour."

Since both Gu Yan and Nan Shiniang can be hunted down, "Gu Jiao" of Canglan Girls' Academy who is related to "Xiao Liulang" must soon become the target of the Han family.

Gu Chengfeng needs to disappear from the academy immediately, and Xiao Jingkong will continue to study in the future.

"Do you like it?" Gu Jiao asked Xiao Qingkong.

Xiao Jingkong didn't answer immediately, but looked at Gu Jiao and asked, "Liu Lang, did you choose this house?"

Gu Jiao blinked and nodded: "I chose it, I let... Long Yi choose it."

Xiao Jingkong stretched out his small arms: "Then I like it!"

The corner of Xiao Heng's mouth twitched.

However, Gu Jiao and Xiao Heng were not very satisfied.

There are many of them, this small courtyard looks big, but there are only three habitable houses.

"Aren't there five rooms here?" The guarantor discussed with the owner of the courtyard.

The master said: "There are two rooms that I want to use as a storeroom, and I need to put some things in."

Yep, it's yellow again.

The guarantor broke into a cold sweat and said to Xiao Heng: "Then, Mr. Long, I'll take you to look elsewhere."

As a result, I looked around a few places and was not satisfied.

Xiao Jingkong took Gu Jiao's hand: "Liu Lang, do we have to rent a house on this street?"

Gu Jiao said: "No, it's mainly because it's close to where you go to school."

Xiao Qingkong: "Oh, what if there is a closer one?"

"How could it be closer?" The guarantor said confidently, "I have been a guarantor for 30 years, and I own all the houses in the best area in Yaxing. This street is the closest to Lingbo Academy. That’s right, you won’t be able to rent any further!”

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Jingkong silently took out a house deed from his purse.

Guarantor: "..."

Xiao Heng had a toothache: "Didn't you tell me sooner that you have a deed?"

Xiao Jingkong crossed his arms and hugged his arms, turned his face and snorted and snorted: "I won't give it if you ask! I'll give it to Jiaojiao if you ask!"

The guarantor went to find a shady tree under a big tree to check the authenticity of the deed carefully, but did not hear their conversation.

Xiao Heng said: "That Jiaojiao lived in the outer city back then, and the house was so narrow that she couldn't fit in it, and I didn't see you show the deed!"

Xiao Qingkong was so wronged that he spread his hands and said, "Jiaojiao, what Jiaojiao was looking for at that time was a house in the outer city, and I don't have one in the outer city!"

These words are very similar to a local turtle friend going to a local tyrant friend Xingshi to ask a crime-why didn't you lend me your car last night?

The local tyrant said—you said you could borrow any Xiali, but I don’t have a Xiali, I only have a Ferrari!

Gu Versailles Jiao: I'm willing to bow down!

Xiao Heng's tooth hurt even more.

They have all changed from Zhaoguo to Dayan, so his charterer is still the little monk in front of him, right?

How much debt did he owe the little monk in his previous life?

The little charterer puffed out his small chest, and shook his little foot tremblingly: "I'll rent it to you cheaply, five hundred taels a month!"

Xiao Heng was shocked.

Little monk, you are sitting on the ground and starting the price!

When one big and one small were fighting wits and courage, a carriage slowly approached and stopped beside Gu Jiao and the three of them.

Immediately afterwards, the car window was lifted, and Second Master Jing poked his head out: "Huh? Qinger, Liulang, why are you here? Well, who is this little devil?"

Xiao Jingkong glared angrily with his arms akimbo: "You are the brat!"

"Ah, I remember, you are that one..." During the three days when Gu Jiao was comatose during the selection of the commander-in-chief of the Black Wind Cavalry, Jing Erye accompanied An Guogong to visit Gu Jiao in the National Teacher Hall, and met Xiao Qingkong. .

It's just that Xiao Jingkong was wearing the uniform of the academy at that time, like a little scholar, but now he has changed into an ordinary young man's attire, which is almost unrecognizable.

"I don't call that! My name is Qingkong!" Xiao Jingkong corrected seriously.

Second Master Jing said with a smile: "Yes, yes, that's the name! You also saved the little princess, you are a little hero!"

There's so much nonsense, and it's blocking me from seeing my daughter.

Today is another day I want to beat my stupid brother.

An Guogong's eyes swished.

However, Second Master Jing had no tacit understanding with his eldest brother, but Gu Jiao walked over and looked into the window.

When she saw An Guogong, she suddenly became in a good mood.

When An Guogong saw Gu Jiao, he couldn't hide a smile in his eyes.

...

After learning that Gu Jiao was looking for a house, Duke An proposed to let her live in the Duke's mansion.

"Hmm..." Gu Jiao hesitated.

Seeing her frowning, Duke An dipped his fingertips in water and continued to write on the handrail: "Guogong's mansion has guards, it's safer than you living outside."

He was writing about you, not you.

As smart as Duke An, he has already guessed that Gu Jiao's search for a house at this juncture must not be for herself.

She lives well in the National Teacher Hall, and there are few places in Shengdu that are safer than the National Teacher Hall.

Second Master Jing went to the big tree on the street to catch cicadas with Xiao Qingkong, and Xiao Heng and the guarantor discussed about renting a house under the shade of the tree.

There were only Gu Jiao and An Guogong on the carriage.

Gu Jiao considered the possibility of living in the Duke's Mansion.

An Guogong continued to write: "It is also close to Lingbo Academy, so it is convenient to pick up and drop off the child to school."

Gu Jiao looked at the words on the armrest and was dumbfounded.

I obviously didn't mention the small clearance, how do you know that he also lives there?

You, like the national teacher, are a grown-up man!

Seeing Gu Jiao's cute and silly appearance, the smiles in An Guogong's eyes almost overflowed.

He couldn't make an expression, otherwise the corners of his lips would have to grin down to the base of his ears.

He wrote: "There are delicious food and drinks every day, and there are a lot of guards, and money that can't be spent."

At this time, the Duke of the State is the bad guy who seduces the children!

Gu Jiao opened her eyes wide and asked, "But, hasn't the Duke's Mansion dissipated all the wealth?"

"I earned it again." An Guogong wrote with a smile in his eyes.

That look seemed to say, your adoptive father and I are nothing more than a mediocre young business genius.

Gu Jiao raised her eyebrows, and said solemnly: "It doesn't matter if it's money or not, the main reason is to cultivate a relationship with you, foster father."

An Guogong laughed in his heart.

Gu Jiao is not a hypocritical person, and she didn't say that if we go, it may bring you danger.

She is the adopted son of Duke An, and the government of An Guo has long been involved in this dispute, or it can be said that the government of An Guo has never been out of this dispute.

From the moment An Guogong dissipated his family wealth to collect the body of Xuanyuan's son Lang, he had already declared his position to the whole Yan.

Gu Jiao told Xiao Heng about An Guogong's proposal.

Xiao Heng always felt that An Guogong had a kind of hostility towards his father-in-law. In the past, he might not have agreed easily, but thinking of the little monk's little stinking face of the charterer, he felt that An Guogong's mansion would not be so difficult to accept.

——Never admit that it is stingy, five hundred taels a month!

Xiao Heng paused: "There is also Master Nan's Inner City Talisman Festival... I will figure out a way for this."

Gu Jiao snorted and said, "No need, Duke An said he can get it."

Xiao Heng felt as if he had been slapped in the face.

I didn't even have the chance to show myself in front of Jiaojiao.

What happened to the inexplicable strong sense of crisis?

It's too late to change his mind and rent the little monk's house——

The accommodation was settled, Gu Jiao decided to go back to the inn, Xiao Jing wanted to be with her, but Xiao Heng snatched her back.

Xiao Heng said hesitantly: "You are now His Highness's little follower."

The little headroom is crazy.

Ahhh, what a bad brother-in-law is so uncute!

...

Inn.

Mr. Meng finally woke up. He stood blankly in front of the washbasin with his chicken nest head on his head, looking at the pig's face reflected in the basin, and there were ten thousand black wind kings galloping in his heart.

"Who did this chess master beat up?"

I can't remember what happened last night!

When Gu Jiao came to the inn, several people got up and gathered in Mr. Meng's wing.

Master Lu didn't dare to say that he knocked the old man like that, and brazenly pushed it to the guards and dead soldiers of the Han family.

Mr. Meng was successfully led astray, and he made a strong memory of the Han family in his heart!

Gu Jiao's plan to move said: "...in the afternoon, the people from An Guogong's mansion will send the inner city talisman to the inn, and we will move there at night."

"So fast." Gu Yan was surprised, "I mean, it took half a day to get the Inner City Talisman."

The talisman festival in the inner city is not a trivial matter. The general government office is not qualified to issue talisman festivals to people from other countries. Even if they do, it will take a few months.

Gu Jiao said: "The Duke said he has a way."

After bidding farewell to Gu Jiao, An Guogong immediately started to deal with the matter. Although the talisman is tricky, there is a family that has the privilege to issue the talisman.

That is the Mu family.

Mr. Mu is Jing Zhaoyin in Shengdu, and he has a good relationship with the Minister of Honglu Temple who is in charge of diplomacy.

Grandpa Guo asked Second Master Jing to invite Mu Qingchen over.

After Gu Jiao was not at Tianqiong Academy, Mu Qingchen seldom went there. He lived in Su's house for the past few days, so he came over quickly.

"Master Guo looks good." Mu Qingchen said.

"It's much better than before." An Guogong wrote on the handrail.

Standing beside him, Mu Qingchen looked at the words on the armrest, and couldn't help secretly marveling that a living dead person who had been in a coma for three years had really recovered to such an amazing state in less than three months.

Gu Jiao participated in the selection of the commander of the Black Wind Rider as the righteous son of An Guogong, and in the end Gu Jiao won. In other words, this powerful opponent was sent by An Guogong.

But Mu Qingchen didn't have any quarrel with An Guogong because of this.

He didn't even ask Duke An why he accepted a boy from Zhao Kingdom as his adoptive son.

They got along as usual.

An Guogong continued to write: "Qingchen, I will tell you the truth, I have something to ask for."

"You say."

An Guogong solemnly wrote his request on the handrail.

He knew it was abrupt and difficult.

But in an emergency, Mu Qingchen's way was the fastest way he could think of.

"When do you want it?" Mu Qingchen asked.

This is promised.

Although he expected that Yimu Qingchen's temperament would not refuse his request, he still breathed a sigh of relief.

"Today, the sooner the better," he wrote.

It takes at least ten days and half a month for the locals to do the Inner City Talisman Festival, and it takes one month for the people of other countries to get the approval of the Honglu Temple. After going through the seven-seven-eight-eighth process, it is considered lucky to get it in the third month it is good.

"Okay, I'll bring it to you before dinner."

Mu Qingchen agreed almost without any hesitation, and did not ask who An Guogong was for.

An Guogong wrote: "Thank you, Qingchen."

Mu Qingchen said: "I promised Yinyin that I will take good care of you."

An Guogong looked at Mu Qingchen's back, and sighed in his heart.

-

If Gu Jiao and her family want to live in, the idlers in the house will naturally have to leave.

"What did you say?"

In Mu Ruxin's courtyard, her personal servant girl looked at Guanshi Zheng in disbelief, "My lady lived well in the Duke's mansion, why did she move out?"

Guanshi Zheng smiled, and said politely: "Ms. Mu has been in Yan Kingdom for so long, and she must be homesick. The Duke's condition has improved, so I don't dare to force Miss Mu to stay in the house."

This is a beautiful word, but it doesn't mean the same thing?

you please.

Guanshi Zheng took the brocade box from the servant behind him, and handed it to Mu Ruxin: "This is a wish from my father-in-law. Although the consultation fee has been settled at the beginning, but Miss Mu wants to go back when she comes. The package is also prepared for you."

The servant girl was furious: "Who said my young lady is going back!"

My young lady has not yet become the daughter of your Duke's mansion!

Mu Ruxin's reaction was calmer than the maidservant's.

In fact, this is not the first time that the Duke has revealed his intention to let her go.

Long after the Duke was able to write freely, he euphemistically expressed his thanks to her, but at that time the Duke did not show her enough dignity in front of the third person.

It was because she didn't want to leave, and it happened that the second lady accidentally sprained her waist when she went to pick flowers, so she stayed in the name of the second lady's healing of her waist injury.

Mu Ruxin said: "I'm not in a hurry these few days, the Second Madam's back injury hasn't healed..."

Steward Zheng said with a half-smile: "Second Madam, the family has hired a doctor, and they dare not force Miss Mu to stay and make Miss Mu suffer from homesickness."

No matter how thick-skinned Mu Ruxin is, it's impossible for her to play tricks in front of a few servants.

She said, "Then I'll pack up tonight..."

Zheng Guanshi smiled: "The carriage is ready for you, it is at the door! The guards have also been selected, and they will escort you all the way back to Chen Guo! Of course, if you want to appreciate the customs of Dayan again, they will also By your side, at your command!"

Mu Ruxin's face became hot.

This is not to say goodbye to her, it is clearly to kick her out!

Mu Ruxin said calmly: "I have some private matters in the city these few days, and I will send the address when I settle down. If the Duke and the Second Madam are in need, they can come to me at any time."

Then there is no need!

Mu Ruxin took a deep breath, calmed down and said, "Please wait a moment, I have something..."

Seventeen or eighteen capable maidservants swarmed in, waiting neatly for orders.

"many."

After Mu Ruxin said the last word in a daze, she didn't want to talk anymore in this life!

Half an hour later, Guan Zheng politely sent Mu Ruxin's master and servant to the carriage.

Mu Ruxin looked at the Duke's mansion where she had been staying for half a year, and she was a little bit unwilling after all. Outsiders only knew that the Duke of Guo had spent all his wealth for the Xuanyuan family, but only those who had lived in the Duke's mansion knew that the Duke of Guo had done so all these years. How much wealth was born.

Scholars have been noble since ancient times, and they dislike the smell of money the most.

An Guogong did not.

He is not a greedy person, but he understands the importance of money very well. As a scholar, he can afford it and let it go.

The more they get along, the more Mu Ruxin admires An Guogong, and the more she wants to be his favorite.

It's a pity that she has worked hard for so long, but her enthusiasm was wasted in the end!

Mu Ruxin: "I haven't had time to talk to my second wife—"

Guanshi Zheng: "Goodbye! There will be no future!"

－－－－－Off Topic－－－－－

I was so moved to see everyone's comments.

Many readers wrote to me privately, saying that Jiaojiao's article brought them a lot of joy and enthusiasm.

I want to say that you also brought me a lot of strength and inspiration.

The lines of tribute——

Without you, it is really amazing.
