Malicious Medical Princess of the Marquis House

The maid Ah Qing walked into the flower hall with a post.

Marquis Zhen Guo sent a greeting card to his wife.

Marquis Zhen Guo? Gu Jiu was surprised.

She took the post, opened it and saw that it was really Zhen Guohou.

Zhen Guohou is the former Zhen Guogong, Ruizhen Empress Cui's natal brother.

When Emperor Wende wanted to cut his lord, Duke Zhenguo was the first to use the knife.

After some manipulations, the hereditary Duke of Zhen Guo was demoted to be the Marquis of Zhen Guo who was beheaded as the fifth king.

This matter is the emperor's will, and the whole process is led by the Sun family.

The Cui family and the Sun family also became enemies because of this.

Back then, when Ruizhen Empress Cui and the first concubine Sun were still alive, the relationship between the Cui family and the Sun family was relatively harmonious.

Now, I'm afraid I can't wait for the other party to die.

However, the two families are currently very frustrated, and no one can do anything about the other.

It's surprising that Zhen Guohou came to the door at this time. Where is he?

The servant girl Ah Qing said: The person is just outside the gate, and Marquis Zhen Guo personally handed over the greeting card.

Gu Jiu put the greeting card on the table, It really is sincere. Go and invite people in.

Ah Qing was a little worried, Marquis Zhen Guo has a sensitive identity, will he be suspected when he comes to visit his wife?

Gu Jiu smiled, He has already appeared outside Xiaozhu's door, and there must be many people to see. No matter whether he comes in or not, he can't stop others' suspicion. Please come in, Mrs. Ben is also very curious about the purpose of his visit. .”

The servant obeys!

After a while, Zhen Guohou was invited in.

I haven't seen him for several years, and Zhen Guohou has aged a lot. Her hair is all white, her body is no longer as tall and powerful as before, and her back is slightly curved. His face was covered with wrinkles.

Seeing it suddenly, Gu Jiu didn't dare to recognize it.

When it was confirmed that the person in front of him was the former Duke of Zhen Guo, and now the Marquis of Zhen Guo, Gu Jiu let out a long breath.

She sighed, Master Hou is really old!

Zhen Guohou smiled calmly,

Madam is the same as before. Compared with the memory, there is almost no change. As for the old man, he is indeed old, just a useless old man.

Master Hou is here in person, and the fluffy plants are shining. Please sit down, Lord Hou!

Ma'am, you are welcome!

The two face each other.

Gu Jiu greeted Zhen Guohou to drink tea.

How has Hou Ye been all these years?

Whether it's good or not depends on how you look at it. The old man thinks it's okay, but the younger generation in the family may have some ideas.

Gu Jiu said: It's inevitable that the juniors have ideas. As long as you're safe!

Madam said exactly what this old man thinks. Your Majesty can allow our Cui family to continue to gain a foothold in the capital. It is a fluke. With the temper of the late emperor, our Cui family may have already...

You don't need to say what you didn't say, Gu Jiu understands everything.

If it were the first emperor, the Cui family would have been confiscated and exiled long ago.

It must be admitted that Emperor Wende had a milder temper than the first emperor, and he was more tolerant of his courtiers.

As long as you don't offend Emperor Wende's Ni Lin, under normal circumstances, he is still easy to talk to.

Gu Jiu asked: Master Hou came to see me suddenly, what's the matter? Master Hou might as well just say it.

Zhen Guohou's eyebrows stretched, and he looked at Gu Jiu calmly, Nothing can be hidden from Madam. I heard that Madam intends to let Sun Minzhi take over as the county magistrate of Xinmin County?

Gu Jiu raised her eyebrows and smiled, Master Hou is really well informed.

During this time, Madam has been looking for candidates. There are rumors in the circle that when Gu Yu resigns next year, you will choose one of the young children of the aristocratic family in the capital to succeed Xinmin County magistrate.

Some people are really afraid that the world will not be chaotic, so they make up things all day long. Xinmin County is the Xinmin County of the imperial court, and the county magistrate of Xinmin County should be appointed by the Ministry of Officials. Xinmin County is definitely not my private territory, Gu Jiu, and the county magistrate of Xinmin County also takes turns. It's not up to me, Gu Jiu, to pick and choose. My wife is subject to the arrangements of the Ministry of Officials and Your Majesty.

Gu Jiu spoke righteously and solemnly.

Zhen Guohou was stunned when he heard this.

After listening, he came to his senses and laughed, Don't worry, madam, similar words are only spread in private.

Gu Jiu picked up the teacup and took a sip, I don't care where Lord Hou heard the rumors from, my answer is always negative. My wife is living in another courtyard, resting her body. What is the magistrate of Xinmin County, what is the young son of an aristocratic family in the capital? , it’s all nonsense.”

Madam misunderstood what the old man meant.

Gu Jiu waited for the next sentence.

Zhen Guohou said bluntly: Old man and young son don't like to dance knives and sticks, but they like poetry and songs very much. They are good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and appreciate antiques. I heard that Shanhe Academy recruits talents in an eclectic manner. In addition to imperial examinations, it also opened many Other courses. The old man wants to ask for a teaching position in Shanhe Academy for the youngest son.

Gu Jiu was stunned, Isn't it the magistrate of Xinmin County?

Zhen Guohou shook his head with a smile, Of course not the county magistrate of Xinmin County. The old man is self-aware.

Gu Jiu came back to her senses and laughed.

Master Hou came here in person just to ask for a teaching position for the youngest son?

Zhen Guohou nodded, and said seriously: Exactly! The old man and the young son don't like the imperial examination, and have never participated in the imperial examination. But because he has made a lot of achievements in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, he once taught in other academies. It's just that other academies are all The Four Books and Five Classics are the most important, and the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are dispensable. The old man and the young son are willful, so they ran home and continued to eat Zumeng.

He is old and not young, and he is already in his forties, but he has no foundation to stand on. The old man is getting old day by day, and if one day passes away, the youngest son may have to find his elder brothers to fight the autumn wind in a few years with that little family property.

Gu Jiu asked: Master Hou's young son, but is it Master Cui Qi who is known as Crazy Cui?

Exactly!

After a pause, Zhen Guohou said again: He and your grandfather, Mr. Gu, had been friends for a long time.

Gu Jiu's heart skipped a beat.

Forget the year?

Is it possible to pass on the jade seal of the country...

No, no.

Crazy Cui's age is not right.

When Mr. Gu made the fake Chuanguo Yuxi, Crazy Cui might not have been born yet.

Both he and your grandfather don't like the Four Books and the Five Classics. They only like piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and antique appreciation. When Mr. Gu was still serving in the imperial court, the two of them often got together to play with antiques and jade wares, and they had an inseparable relationship.

Gu Jiu said: My grandfather never mentioned the youngest son of Lord Hou.

Zhen Guohou said: This is not surprising. Since Mr. Gu didn't go to court, he gave up the antiques. The old man and the young son once went to Gu's house to look for your grandfather, but your grandfather beat him out with a broom.

Picking up the broom to drive people away, Mr. Gu can definitely do this.

Gu Jiu laughed, I can let my grandfather pick up a broom to drive people away instead of yelling at them, obviously Hou Ye's young son is still a good person in my grandfather's eyes.

Lord Hou doesn't dislike Shanhe Academy, so Shanhe Academy will also have a vacant seat. Hou Ye's youngest son can go to Shanhe Academy to work at any time. If you need to live in the academy, let us know in advance, and the academy will prepare a house. It's just that the academy's buildings are simple and simple, and they are not as rich and noble as the Hou's Mansion.

Zhen Guohou finally showed a smile, Thank you Madam, I am very grateful. The Hou Mansion is not rich to speak of, and every day is a simple meal. The old man decides for the youngest son and wants a house to live in.

My wife will order someone to make arrangements in advance.

The business was over, but Zhen Guohou did not leave in a hurry.

He drank tea and chatted with Gu Jiu about gossip about the capital.

After chatting and chatting, we talked about Sun's family.

What does Madam think of the Sun family?

A century-old family, the reputation is well-deserved! Gu Jiu smiled lightly.

Zhen Guohou said: Madam seems to value the Sun family very much?

The Sun family is well-known in the literary world, and to tell you the truth, my wife is indeed salivating!

If this Marquis says that there is a way to make the Sun family submit, so that the reclusive No. 1 scholar of the Sun family can teach at Shanhe Academy, what would Madam like?

Gu Jiu took a breath.

She gathered herself together and laughed, Master Hou is old and strong, my wife's little tricks really can't hide it from your eyes.

Zhen Guohou waved his hand, The old man just thinks that a mere Sun Minzhi is not enough for Madam to value him so much. I am afraid that the ulterior motive is not for Sun Minzhi, but for being well-known in the Sun family's literary world.

So Master Hou took the first step and arranged Master Seven to Shanhe Academy.

It's true that the old man arranged for the young son to make a living. It's not a lie.

I believe Lord Hou has a loving heart. I'm just curious, how will Lord Hou persuade the Sun family's reclusive number one scholar to teach at Shanhe Academy? As far as I know, the relationship between the Sun family and your Hou family is not good.

Zhen Guohou said: Madam only knows one thing but not the other. It is true that our Hou's mansion is not at peace with the Sun family, but within the Sun family, the lineage of the champion and the head of the Sun family are also at odds. Due to family ugliness Don't make it public, the Sun family never made it public, so very few people know about it.

Madam, you know that the number one scholar of the Sun family, when his official career was going well, suddenly retired bravely, resigned from office and went into seclusion, living in seclusion, why?

Gu Jiu shook her head, how could she know the secret of such a wealthy family.

That is to say, the Cui family and the Sun family had a honeymoon period before they could know the facts that the Sun family was eager to cover up.

Zhen Guohou lowered his voice and said: The Patriarch of the Sun family is the biological father of the former concubine. Back then, the Patriarch of the Sun family must have supported the East Palace. The lineage of the Duke of the First Scholar was quite critical of the East Palace and opposed the Sun family several times Bet on the East Palace. You don't need to tell the old man about the following things, the madam should understand.

Gu Jiu nodded.

The ass decides the head.

Inside the Sun family, opinions are divided.

The lineage of the Patriarch has the upper hand.

The failure of the Zhuangyuangong's lineage struggle was not only a failure of the family's internal struggle, but even the official struggle, and he could only withdraw sadly in the end.

Now the Patriarch of the Sun family is no longer the same as before, but the Zhuangyuan Gong's lineage is also unable to recover, so they can only live in seclusion and live a life of simple food and drink.

Emperor Wende suppressed the Sun family, regardless of who or whom, anyone with the surname Sun would be suppressed.

Master Hou is sure to convince the number one scholar of the Sun family?

Zhen Guohou nodded, This old man still has a bit of love with the number one scholar. If Madam is trustworthy, this old man can act as a matchmaker to help Madam and Shanhe Academy.

Gu Jiu laughed, it felt so good when someone gave him a pillow just as he dozed off.

She said: Thank you, Lord Hou. It's just that there is the Sun family, how can there be no Zhou family.

The great talent of the Zhou family is currently in the capital. Marquis Zhen Guo obviously came prepared.

The Zhou family that Gu Jiu mentioned was the Zhou family in Chuzhou.

The eldest grandma of the Hou Mansion, Mrs. Zhou, came from the Zhou family in Chuzhou.

The Zhou family in Chuzhou and Zhou Jin's Zhou family in Huai'an are relatives of the Wufu family.

However, the two sides broke off contact as early as the previous generation.

Gu Jiu was curious, The Zhou family is a great talent? Why haven't I heard of it?

This person has a strange temper, is arrogant in his talents, and unrestrained. Everyone says he is out of season. He cut himself off from the Zhou family, cut ties with the family, and the Zhou family never talked about him in front of others.

Who is this person and where is he now?

Gu Jiu was so curious.

She had never heard of such a person.

Zhen Guohou has lived for so many years, and it is a living history, which is clear about which family, clan, people, and affairs.

He said to Gu Jiu: This person's name is Zhou Shi'an, and he is now a seventh-rank doctor from Lantai Temple.

The great talent was sent to Lantai Temple? Gu Jiu was surprised.

Where is Lantai Temple?

Lantai Temple, in layman's terms, is the archives. The fighters in the Qingshui yamen will never succeed.

The emperor will never think of Lantai Temple, and the people of Lantai Temple should not worry about getting promoted and getting rich.

It is a blessing not to be used as a scapegoat by the courtiers.

Gu Jiu asked curiously, How did he enter Lantai Temple?

Zhen Guohou smiled, The old man said before that he is a bit out of date. Although he is a great talent, he is unrestrained and unruly, and his articles are sharp and spicy. During the exam, it is said that because he criticized the government in the article, he was almost humiliated. It was still the chief examiner who saved him, but the ranking was at the bottom.

He was originally the number one scholar, but in the end he could only live in Lantai Temple. Fortunately, he likes to read, so he can be regarded as a fish in water at Lantai Temple. It's just that life is too hard. Madam also knows that living in the capital is not easy, and his little salary is only enough to eat. He broke off the relationship with the family, refused to accept the family money, and lived a very difficult life.

Is he willing to resign and teach at Shanhe Academy?

It's hard to say! He has a weird temper, and the old man is not sure that he can persuade him.

Give it a try! Gu Jiu solemnly requested.

Talent is rare!

It doesn't matter if you have a weird temper.

Shanhe Academy is open and inclusive, no matter how weird people are, they will accept them.

Zhen Guohou nodded, I'll give it a try, old man.
