9 Humiliation Before Getting Married
Zhao's father and daughter are busy with work.
Xianzong is not someone who doesn't think about his daughter at all. While drinking and having fun, sleeping with his beauties in his arms, he also thinks that the Gu family's house has been ransacked by him, and even the house he lives in has been confiscated by him. Without even a place to live, how could the Gu family Sanying marry his daughter?
"Jingzhong," Xianzong called his chief manager.
Jing Zhong hurriedly walked up to Xianzong, bowed and said, "The servant is here."
"Return the Gu family's original house to them," Xianzong said, "and return the family property that was copied earlier."
Jing Zhong said: "Your Majesty, Gu Chen no longer has a title, and the Gu family is full of common people now, and they still live in the former Zhen Guohou's mansion. This slave thinks it may not be good."
Xianzong didn't follow Jingzong's words, but said: "How can my son-in-law be a commoner? Let him be a general."
Jing Zhong hurriedly said: "My lord, the Gu family has committed the crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason."
Xianzong didn't care and said: "The world is peaceful now, and I don't need him to lead the army. The collaborator is that old man Gu Chen. Gu Xinglang, just take care of him." When Xianzong wanted to come and not fight, the general would not Just an official?
Jing Zhong said: "What kind of general does the Holy Majesty want to make Third Young Master Gu?"
Xianzong couldn't remember what kind of general Gu Xinglang was before, so he asked, "What kind of general was he before?"
Gu Xinglang joined the army at the age of thirteen, and became famous on the battlefield at the age of fifteen, but Gu Chen ruled the army strictly, and felt that young people would not be successful without tempering, so these years, Gu Xinglang was only allowed to be a general in the army, with heavy responsibilities but low positions . Jing Zhong didn't talk to Xianzong about the merits of Third Young Master Gu, he only said that he was a partial general in the army.
"Partial general?" Xianzong didn't quite believe that Gu Chen's own grandson was just a small partial general in the army?
Jing Zhong said: "Your Majesty, Third Young Master Gu is just seventeen, still young."
Xianzong sighed, his daughter is not yet fourteen! Isn't it smaller? "I can't be a partial general," Xianzong thought about it carefully, and said, "Make him the third-rank captain general. You can find a house for the Gu family and let them live there."
"The slave obeys the decree," Jing Zhong hurriedly received the decree.
"This is for Linglong," Xianzong said again.
Jing Zhong hurriedly said: "The Holy One is wise."
As an enemy of the Gu family, Manager Jing is really happy for Gu Xinglang at this moment, relying on his wife to become the third-rank captain general, what a slap in the face for this little boy who eats soft food On the face of the third young master of the Gu family!
"Go," Xianzong waved Jingzhong to work, feeling that he had done a good deed for his daughter.
Jing Zhong quickly found a house for the Gu family in the capital. It was not as good as the original Zhenguohou's Mansion, but it was only a small courtyard with a garden, which was more than enough. After the house was arranged, Jing Zhong didn't delay even a minute, and took his people to the private house where the Gu family lived temporarily to deliver the decree.
As Chief Chief Jing expected, after hearing the imperial edict from Emperor Xianzong, the Gu family members turned pale and pale, and dared to be angry but dared not speak out.
"General Gu," Jingzhong looked at Gu Xinglang and said with a smile, "accept the order."
Gu Xinglang lowered his head, a waste whose legs have been crippled, relying on a woman to become a third-rank general? The sense of humiliation made it difficult for Gu Xinglang to breathe. He felt that the air at this moment was like a raging fire, burning his internal organs and six lungs.
Jing Zhong said: "General Gu, are you trying to resist the edict?"
Second Young Master Gu, Gu Xingyan got up angrily from the ground, and said, "Scholars can be killed but not humiliated! Jingzhong, don't do this with me!"
Hearing the second brother's angry shout, Gu Xinglang's body trembled, he raised his hands above his head, and said: "I accept the order, and I thank the sage for his grace."
"Xinglang!" Gu Xingyan watched Gu Xinglang receive the imperial edict with trembling hands, his eyes were about to burst, and he was about to grab Jingzhong and kill him.
"Xingyan," Gu Chen called out to his grandson.
"Father," Gu Xingyan's youngest son, Gu Xu, who was just two years old, burst into tears at this moment.
The second young wife, Lin's, withdrew her finger from pinching her son's buttocks. She lowered her head and wept. She knew that Gu Xinglang was being humiliated. It didn't matter that she, the second sister-in-law, died, but she didn't want to see her husband and son die.
Now is not the time to strike the Gu family to death, so Jing Zhong seemed very magnanimous. He bowed his hands to Gu Xinglang and said, "The scum family congratulates General Gu."
Gu Xingnuo came over, hugged his third brother, and put him on a recliner.
Jing Zhong said to Gu Chen again: "The house is also given by the Holy Majesty, Mr. Gu, let's prepare for General Gu's wedding."
Gu Chen's face sank like water, he glanced at Jing Zhong, but didn't speak.
Jing Zhong knew that the family was not happy to see him at the moment, so the chief eunuch deliberately stayed a little longer to make the Gu family sick again, and then took them away.
As soon as Manager Jing left, Gu Xingyan exploded, kicking over a chair in the yard, and said angrily, "Too much bullying!"
Gu Chen whispered to his old wife: "You take your daughter-in-law and the others back to the room first."
After the women and children returned to the room, the door of the wing room was pushed open from the inside, and Yingnian Yun and several people came out of the wing room.
Gu Xingyan squatted beside the flower table with his head in his arms, silent.
Gu Xingnuo squatted in front of Gu Xinglang, and the young master of the Gu family also endured the pain in his eyes. Their father died in battle when Gu Xinglang was less than one year old. This younger brother was single-handedly raised by Gu Xingnuo, the elder brother. Young Master Gu loved his younger brother dearly, but he couldn't replace him with his own body.
"I'm fine." Gu Xinglang looked up at his elder brother, and actually smiled, and said, "I'm going to start a family, elder brother should congratulate me."
