After being reborn, the powerful minister's heart is overwhelmed

"This matter has been settled, and I have no other choice." Gu Xiang's voice became softer, and Gu Shangshu began to persuade him.

This gift has been returned. It's hard to get it back. We have to get married again.

Gu Xiangen grunted, and when he learned about this early this morning, he was furious and then called Mrs. Gu back. "Whether this matter has anything to do with you or not, you should also persuade your mother-in-law to do something about it." He also lectured, with the same tone. Be more relaxed.

No matter what Mr. Gu said, Mrs. Gu would just accept it.

Seeing that both of them had softened their attitudes, Gu Shangshu continued, "The second son of the Duke of Guo is indeed quite capable. Today he defeated the troops of the Ministry of Punishment. This is a turning point. Although the two of them have broken off their engagement, they still have some ability." They are not enemies, so don’t make a deadly feud.”

Everyone thought that Shen Qiuhe would definitely fall into the hands of the Punishment Department this time, but in the end, he bit the Punishment Department's neck fiercely. He was also a cruel and arrogant master. No wonder he had the courage to burn down the Minister's Mansion. He did have the confidence.

As far as the court is concerned, such young heroes are naturally good.

Dong Gong also took the initiative for Shen Qiuhe, and maybe he would be loyal to Dong Gong. Although this court is the court of the Holy Lord's family, I am already quite old after all, and my future success will still depend on the younger generation, the old man I trusted in the past. , will also be replaced by new people.

Mrs. Gu doesn't understand who is taking advantage of whom, or who is using what means. She just wants her daughter to be happy.

The lives of the old Duke and the Crown Prince are at stake in the Duke's Mansion. Even if he really makes any mistakes, the Holy Father will most likely spare his life. However, the Marquis' Mansion is different. If Shen Qiuhe is involved for no reason, In this concubine's case, wouldn't the future of his daughter's happy son be ruined? For this reason, Mrs. Gu despised Shen Qiuhe.

But Gu Xiang definitely couldn't say such self-protective words in front of him, so he only nodded gently, "I gave her a lot of money, even some of the dowry prepared for Sister Xin's son was used to subsidize his family. What is he dissatisfied with?"

"Qian Qian Qian, who are you? You talk like a merchant's wife!" Mr. Gu has always been strict. After hearing these words, he couldn't help but read a few more words.

After finishing speaking, he smoothed his beard and said, "Sister Xin has broken off the engagement, can we arrange to see someone else?"

After hearing this, Mrs. Gu burst into laughter. This was her family. Although she scolded her, she still thought about it, "We haven't met each other yet. I originally wanted to hold a banquet for Brother Qing. This is not because something happened in the palace or at home." Dare to make a move."

Prime Minister Gu nodded to express his understanding, then picked up a book and looked down at it, "There are many promising young men in the capital. Let your mother and sister-in-law take a look at you later."

As soon as Gu Xiang finished speaking, Gu Shangshu echoed from the side, "Exactly, it's a rare time to come back and stay at home to eat. Mother is nagging about it."

"Okay, then I'll go and pay my respects to my mother first." Mrs. Gu said and stood up.

If he knew it was just a few words of reprimand, he would bring Qiao Guxin and the others over and let his mother take a second look.

Prime Minister Gu did not move his head, but looked at Mrs. Gu. When they left, he muttered, "Do you think she has lost weight?"

Gu Shangshu helplessly changed the hot tea for Gu Xiang, "You don't ask when the person is alive, but who do you care about when the person is gone?"

Gu Xiang rolled his eyes at Gu Shangshu and said, "What do you know? She's pressed so hard that I don't even know how to walk when I see her walking?"

After saying that, he looked away again, "Why does she have so many white hairs? Her son has won the top prize, and she doesn't know what she is worried about?"

Listening to Gu Xiang murmuring to himself, Gu Shangshu shook his head helplessly, "She will be a grandmother in two years. Is it normal to have a few gray hairs at such an age?"

Prime Minister Gu's hands shook, but his eyes were always on the official document, but the topic was not mentioned again. After a long time, Prime Minister Gu asked again, "The Ministry of Punishment handed me the post, do you think I will see it or not?"

Gu Shangshu sneered, "Of course I can't see it. What did he say when he put the second son of the Duke of Ren in prison? The legal family of a state-owned country has family rules."

At that time, I didn’t give Mr. Gu any face, but now I’m begging Mr. Gu. Where does the face come from?

Gu Xiang shook his head, "I thought it was just a meeting."

He tapped his fingers lightly on the table, "I also want to bring the Shen boy with me."

Gu Shangshu thought for a moment and suddenly realized, "Father, are you going to use that boy from the Shen family to get in the face of the Ministry of Punishment?"

Gu Xiang snorted, Shen Qiuhe was famous now, so naturally he wanted to establish his authority, so he just wanted to be a favor.

The Ministry of Punishment is a cancer in the imperial court, Shen Qiuhe is the upstart in the East Palace, and the old and new forces are always fighting to the death.

Besides, Shen Qiuhe is no longer his grandson-in-law, so there is no need to feel bad, just use it as hard as you should.

After saying this, Gu Shangshu went down to make arrangements. However, when he was leaving, he remembered Zhang's instructions and immediately turned around and said, "The family members in the Duke's mansion are indeed pitiful. I heard from my wife that if they were replaced by girls from our Gu family, , I guess it broke out during the banquet."

Qiao Gu has a good temper and is always worried about the face of the two houses.

After Gu Shangshu finished speaking, he thought Prime Minister Gu was going to say something, but after waiting for a while he heard no sound and just left helplessly.

But he didn't know that when there was no one in the room, he muttered to himself, "My daughter regrets marrying her."

Mrs. Gu was afraid that her children would be worried, so after she came out of the study, she had someone send a letter to her home saying that she was fine, so she stayed at the Prime Minister's Mansion for dinner without any worries, and did not return until it was almost dark.

When leaving, the Prime Minister's wife brought many things to Gu, all for the old lady.

They called Mrs. Gu back in a hurry and always disturbed the Marquis Mansion, so they took it as their apology.

Originally, Mrs. Gu was worried about matters in the palace, fearing that it would affect her son. But now, Shen Qiuhe is fine, so they don't have to worry.

Even though he came back late, he still made plans to invite the Chu family into the house tomorrow.

On the second day, it was originally agreed that Ning Shunhou would be in the mansion, but the Ministry of Works called Ningshun Hou away because of something unexpected. She was on official business, so the old lady couldn't say much. Moreover, today was not an engagement day. If you're not here, then you're not here.

Ning Shunhou was not at home, and Chu's father could not come over, so Chu's mother brought the two children to the house with gifts.

This time, I wanted to give a serious reception, so Grandma Miao waited at the door in person. After people came in, they were directly led to the old lady's yard.

The old lady was dressed neatly today, even the pearl on her forehead was shining brightly.

Mrs. Gu was even more festively dressed, even her hair and face were fully dressed.

Hearing that Mrs. Chu was coming, Mrs. Gu stood up and walked a few steps forward to greet her, "I said earlier that we would get together, but I finally expected you to come." When she saw the person behind her, she greeted with a smile.

When they saw Mrs. Li Chu, they said, "I'm looking forward to it too. I'll come over as soon as I finish my work."

Then the two of them moved forward, and Mrs. Chu quickly saw the old lady.

In fact, Mrs. Gu stood up to greet her without leaving the house, it was just a courtesy to leave.

After sitting down, the two children greeted each other.

Mrs. Chu raised her hand and said, "This dog Hanyin is a solid guy. This is my nephew Zhao'an, who is the No. 3 flower in the same ranking as Wenqing."

Because both of them have achieved fame, their clothes are not as casual as before. The jade crowns are erected high to show their noble status.

"Both children are good." The old lady replied with a smile.

His eyes couldn't help but wander around Feng Zhaoan's body, and he was satisfied with his appearance. It wasn't that Feng Zhaoan looked so outstanding, but he gave the impression that he was upright.
