176 Move and leave

Bai really thought that this family was a good marriage. Gu Ning and Jian were both wise men. Although the family was not rich, they were not greedy for money. They understood what it was to get, and they were also very smart.

Instead of collecting the money, it is spent on her son. If it is on ordinary people, they will never agree, but they did it, which means they are clear-minded and know how to do it most beneficial to them.

Tang sighed in his heart as they watched the two of them go back and forth, neither of them was stupid. Bai's move pleased Gu Ning and his family, allowing them to eliminate their dissatisfaction with Tan Songyuan, and at the same time expressed their importance to Gu Xin, which made Gu Ning and his family feel happy. It was a killing two birds with one stone.

Jian's family is not a simple one. She has not been in vain for so many years outside. She has clearly understood the relationship and is open-minded. She refuses Bai's proposal to add silver to Gu Xin's dowry and uses the silver to Tan Songyuan, which expresses her importance to Tan Songyuan and the Tan family in disguise, and increases the Tan family's favorability for them. In the future, Gu Xin can look up to her when she enters the Tan family. Moreover, Tan Songyuan's benefits from the high position are not Gu Xin's, and the two of them are the biggest beneficiaries.

Tang thought of this and laughed, "My brother and sister-in-law are such a good idea. Just use the money in the right place. OK, when I look back, I will tell my master, but I don't guarantee that it can be done. You also know what our emperor is most taboo about. My master is a straightforward person. I'm afraid it can't be done in a day or two. You have to wait."

Bai waved his hand, "Don't make things difficult for General Gu. We all know what General Gu is. It doesn't matter if it is done or not. Song Yuan is still young. As long as he works hard, there is a chance, and it's not that long."

Jian followed closely and said, "Yes, don't make things difficult for uncle. We don't have to worry. It's not too late to do it when we have the chance. If you want me, you shouldn't be able to escape. If you are not yours, don't force it. Let's relax and wait for good news. Sister Bai, let's dowry you. If you use it in the future, you can just take it. Anyway, our family doesn't want it. I'm ready for Sister Xin's dowry, and there's no shortage of her."

Bai thought about it and didn't refuse. She also thought that if the money was not enough, she would have to make up for it. The Gu family would not be able to pay the money for her son.

The two families started chatting about the marriage. Tang was not idle, and from time to time he put on an idea. The three of them chatted happily for an hour before Bai left.

When Gu Yu was involved, Gu Ning and his family thought of moving, and wanted to leave the place quickly and stay away from Dingyuan Hou Mansion.

Gu Ning found Gu An the next day and talked about the moving. The two brothers were the same and wanted to leave quickly, so they immediately set the date for the moving.

Gu An and Gu Ning found Gu Shuyu and mentioned the moving matter. Gu Shuyu knew that the matter was not violated and nodded directly to agree.

February 18th is a good day. Gu An and Gu Ning both made a reservation and prepared to move out of Dingyuan Hou Mansion on this day.

At this time, there were more than ten days before the day of moving, and it was not too much time. The two families started to pack up their things slowly, first sending some slaves to the new house for cleaning, and then arranging people to send some items to their relatives every day.

There were too many things, and the two families were busy for a while. At this time, Gu Yu and Qiu Shengrong got married.

No matter how unsatisfied Gu Yu and Qiu Shengrong were unsatisfied with each other, they had no choice but to get married. They had to pinch their noses and accept it.

After getting engaged, Qiu Shengrong found a date to make an appointment with Tan Songyuan for tea, and Tan Songyuan happily went to the appointment.

"Brother Tan, where did you go that day?"

Qiu Shengrong's eyes flashed slightly, and he stared at Tan Songyuan's face and looked at his expression.

Tan Songyuan was stunned, his eyes were confused.

"That day? Oh, that day, right? I drank too much that day. I woke up and was at home. The servant said that it was Brother Gu who sent me back."

This was agreed by Gu Zhehan and Tan Songyuan in advance. In order to avoid Qiu Shengrong's suspicion, he told him that Gu Zhehan met Tan Songyuan. Seeing that he was drunk, he sent the person home, so as not to Qiu Shengrong to find fault with him, blame him for leaving first, and blamed all the mistakes on Tan Songyuan.

Seeing that Tan Songyuan's expression was not as fake, Qiu Shengrong became nervous when he heard that Gu Zhehan was still there, afraid that Tan Songyuan and Gu Zhehan would doubt something.

Tan Songyuan is a rough man, but Gu Zhehan doesn't give it to you for nothing. That man is smart!

Qiu Shengrong tentatively approached Tan Songyuan and asked in a low voice: "Brother Gu is here too?"

"Well, he came to drink, right next door, and saw me when he walked into the wrong room halfway."

This restaurant is the property of the Tang family of the imperial merchants. The shopkeepers are all from the Tang family, which proves that something is too simple.

It was also Qiu Shengrong and Gu Huai who were careless and arranged such an important matter in the Tang family’s restaurant. Gu Zhehan and Gu Yan knew exactly what facilities there were in the restaurant, and they told them in secret secret passages without shy away. Otherwise, Gu Yan would not have known that there was a secret hole next to the private room.

Qiu Shengrong suddenly realized and thought to himself that what happened that day seemed to be an accident and had nothing to do with Tan Songyuan.

Qiu Shengrong was very smart. He also suspected that Tan Songyuan had tampered with some trouble here. Now, after Tan Songyuan said this, he no longer doubted it. Instead, he started to talk and asked Gu Zhehan.

Tan Songyuan was so disgusting when facing Qiu Shengrong, but he thought of what Gu Zhehan said that he would learn to practice acting from Qiu Shengrong and learn to be vain and impolite, and he endured the urge to beat him up.

Tan Songyuan replied a few words in a humming voice, and seemed to have said a lot, but in fact there was no one that was useful. After a while, Tan Songyuan couldn't bear it anymore and found an excuse to say goodbye and leave.

Qiu Shengrong knew what Tan Songyuan's personality was, so he didn't care. In his opinion, it was normal for Tan Songyuan to leave halfway. In the past, someone asked him for help, and he left after drinking halfway.

After Gu Yu and Qiu Shengrong got engaged, it was the day to move. In the first two or three days, Tang asked someone to move the items and other large items that the emperor gave to the new house after entering the capital. On this day, there were not many things to move, and except for some clothes that he had with him, the flowers and plants in the yard needed to be transplanted.

Tang originally wanted to move when the spring was coming, but he was afraid that these flowers would be too expensive, so it would be a pity to die halfway. But Gu An, Gu Zhehan and Gu Yan disagreed and would rather die than leave them for the Hou Mansion. In this way, Baifangyuan was in a hurry during the day of moving. Others moved to move tables, chairs, bowls, chopsticks, vases, jade and other items. When Gu An's family moved, there were no such things. More than a dozen carriages were full of flowers and plants, and none of them were given to the Hou Mansion.

The two went to Rong'an Hall together to bid farewell to Old Qu and Gu Shuyu, and gave them a few symbolic instructions and let them go.

Down sat in the carriage and looked back at the carriage following behind, "Have all the flowers in the flower room been moved out?"

"Well, I've finished moving, but it's good that it's winter, so I have to move it twice in summer."

Gu Yan was wearing a silver mask and sat upright, holding a jade bottle in her hand. The jade bottle was not big, only the size of a palm, and it was green all over. It was obviously made of the best jade material.

Tang looked down at the jade bottle, "What are you doing to slap it? Just play with one, you can do it. You have made more than twenty of them at once, and you will be in trouble with the best jade materials at home."

Gu Yan looked up at Tang and blinked, "Don't I think the paste I use now is too greasy? I found a recipe in an ancient book a few days ago. I want to try whether it can be made. If it can be made, it will be made for my mother."

Tang smiled and pointed Gu Yan's forehead, "Okay, I know I feel sorry for my mother, I don't love you in vain. Where did you read it? When did you get the ancient books?"

"What my father asked me, I heard it was from our library."

"Hmph! The ancient books in the library were left in the Hou Mansion and were in vain. They were also covered in dust when they were left. It would be better to show them all to my daughter!"

Gu Yan's eyes flashed slightly, and a gleam flashed through her half-closed eyes.

Gu Ning's new house was the four-entry courtyard I got when the family was separated, not far from the one I separated from Gu An's family, but Gu An thought it was too small, so he moved into a five-entry courtyard I bought after returning to Beijing.

This place is not far from Gu Ning, and lives in the east of the capital and is close to the imperial palace. Going further north out of the capital, it is Beidaying where Gu An is located. It is close to wherever it is, and it is suitable for them to live.

Gu An helped Tang get off the carriage. The two looked up at the plaque and wrote "General Shenwu's Mansion". The two looked at each other and smiled, without saying a word.

Gu An took her hand and walked in, pointing to the road ahead while walking, saying, "From here, it is the front yard. I am going to learn from my daughter, carve the structure diagram of the entire yard on the screen wall, so that people can find ways. From here, there are two yards, one for Han Ge'er to live in, the other for him to make a study room, the three opposite is my study room, and the other two are ready to be a living yard. From here, we are in the inner yard, and we have few family members, and the yard for Yan'er is not small, so we are all catching up with our main yard. The ones there stayed there and did not move, and we would marry Han Ge'er and live in again..."

Gu An excitedly introduced the layout of the new house to her, and showed his efforts over the past few days to Tang. It was like a male peacock combing out her beautiful feathers to attract the opposite sex, as arrogant as a child, which made Gu Yan smile unconsciously.

It's so good! Finally, I returned to my original appearance. This is home, warmth, happiness, love, without calculating or dirty things. Such a home is what their family wants.

Tang did not disturb Gu An. Listening to him talking about the arrangements in the new home, a happy smile continued to hang on his face until he entered Fu'anyuan and sat on the chair. He stretched his body and lazily spread it on the chair.

"My husband is still very good. It's all arranged in just a few days, so I won't bother me."

Gu An took the wet veil from Lu Liu's hand and wiped his face, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, madam, it's nothing to do for your husband. You don't have to worry about this. Maintaining your body is the most important thing."

Since Tang was seriously injured in the border area, Gu An no longer asked Tang to do anything. He was doing everything he could do in the family. If it was inconvenient, let go of Gu Yan and Zhao's mother, and let them discuss it themselves, as long as they don't disturb Tang's rest.

Tang took a sip of tea and gave Gu An a angrily look, "I'm done well long ago, so why are you so weak? If it weren't for the inconvenience of the Hou Mansion, I would have gone out to visit, but it's not too short. When the spring is coming, I'll go out to see each house and the mansion. Those who should go around will have to walk."

For example, the Bai family, Wu'an Hou Mansion, Yao Shiyu's family, the Minister of Rites, Chang Fengnian's family, the Minister of Rites, Wang Si's family, Dali Temple Minister Liu Mingyi's family, and Prince An's house.

Although it is easy to make people suspicious and criticized for their fellowship with Prince An, it is different from other families. They have kindness with Prince An, and they have received the emperor's will. As long as they do not have excessive contact, they can still be able to do so.

Gu An thought about it and felt that Tang could go out and walk slowly. He had been taking a rest for a year and would have performed the show if he didn't go out. If someone took the opportunity to stumbling, it would be more than worth the loss.

Especially the old Qu in Dingyuan Hou Mansion, if she writes an article about Tang's body and sends Gu An a pass room, it would be difficult for him to drive him out directly. He would have to stay for at least a year or two. The family finally lived a quiet life again, so he didn't want outsiders to intervene.

"Okay, every mansion will go out for a walk during the Qingming Festival. Then you can make an appointment with two familiar families to go together."

Gu An looked at Gu Yan again, "Yan'er, let's go together. In the past, she was forbidden to see the place. Now that I have returned to my own home, I don't have to be restrained anymore. My daughter did nothing wrong, so she can't help herself."

Gu Yan looked up at Gu An and nodded, "Yeah, let's see again."

Gu An knew that Gu Yan didn't like to contact people, so she had no choice but to go out when she was in the border. Now she was back in the capital and wanted to go out. Before she saw her fifteenth, her brother begged her to go out. His daughter is just too lazy and doesn't like to move.

Gu Yan really doesn't want to go out for a walk. In her opinion, no matter how rich and lively it is, it is incomparable to her previous life. In her eyes, it is like the rural market in her previous life, and there is nothing to visit.

At night, Gu Yan stood on the roof of Jingxin Pavilion in black, staring at the direction of Yuanhou Mansion, showing an excited smile.

The hundreds of secret guards standing neatly under the room couldn't help but fight when they saw Gu Yan's smile, and sweated coldly for the unknown unlucky person.

I won’t kill people at night, will I? This is the capital, and it will be troublesome if I kill people.

Alas! No matter what the master wants, they have to follow him. Who makes them... very excited!

Haha, I haven't been out with my master for a long time. The master will definitely not disappoint them tonight. Maybe I will do a big deal.

Compared to the excitement of the secret guards, the two sisters Youming and Shuxiang Moxiang were much calmer. The three of them stood side by side at the front of the secret guards, with their slightly lowered heads and eyelids not raising them. They were not interested in the orders Gu Yan was about to issue, or they didn't care what Gu Yan asked them to do. Anyway, the master would not harm them. Just be careful not to lose it if you follow the master's footsteps.

Gu Yan looked up at the sky. The moon was sparsely bright and the whole sky was like black silk cloth. A few stars dotted with bright lights. A full moon hung in the southeast. It was like a guiding light, illuminating the road ahead for those who came home at night.
