Reincarnated vassal system

It was almost one o'clock when the banquet was over, and there was a curfew at the end of the Xu Dynasty. People who lived a little further away from home were already in a hurry to go home at this time. Fortunately, tomorrow is a holiday.Everyone greeted Shen Lin with a few words at the entrance of Tianxiang Building, and after expressing their thanks to Shen Lin, they dispersed and went home.In the end, only Shen Lin and Gu Huai were left. These two descendants of the rich and powerful who lived in the west of the capital got into the carriages in their respective mansions and drove towards home one after the other.

At this time, the sky was already dark, and the carriage stopped steadily in front of Zhen Guogong's mansion.As soon as the curtain was lifted, Gu Huai was surprised to see Madam Zhao who was beside Mrs. Gu coming up from the door, with a warm face on her face.

Seeing Gu Huai, Mother Zhao's words were slightly polite, and her attitude was quite different from her usual attitude.Gu Huai did not pretend to be flattered, and listened to Mother Zhao say, "Third Young Master, Madam invites you to the Shou'an Courtyard."

It was getting late at this time, but Gu Huai didn't ask what was going on, and nodded slightly towards Nanny Zhao. At this time, Chang Min who also came up to greet her immediately knowingly stuffed a few silver taels into Nanny Zhao's hands.

"I'm sorry, Madam." Gu Huai said, followed Madam Zhao into the door, and at the same time told Chang Min, "Come with me to Shou'an Courtyard."

The Duke of Wei has inherited it for hundreds of years, and the residence of the Duke of Wei has been expanded and repaired for many years. The area of ​​the mansion unconsciously occupies a huge area of ​​the capital.The Shou'an Courtyard is located in the southeast of the Duke's Mansion, a good position at the end, and it is a three-entry courtyard with good light and shade.When Gu Huai arrived at Shou'an Courtyard, he waited in front of the door, and waited for Zhao Mama to go inside to get a summons before entering the lobby.

Needless to say, the rules of the Shou'an Courtyard are based on those in the palace.In the Shou'an Courtyard lives the wife of the Duke of Wei, Mrs. Du, who has a first-rank imperial order. Not only that, but she is also the aunt of the most favored concubine Hui in the harem. With this status, let alone the entire Duke of Wei's mansion, she is All the noble ladies and ladies in the entire capital respect her a little bit.Du's status is extraordinary, even the rules of the courtyard have been moved here according to the palace.

As night fell, the lobby of the Shou'an Courtyard was full of excitement. The old lady was sitting upright with a three-point solemn face, and beside her was a beautiful woman in a gorgeous dress, who was leaning sideways, with her right hand clenched Holding a champagne and pursing her lips, there was a hint of gloating in the corners of her eyes.This is Du Liyu, the eldest wife of the second wife Gu Shiping. She is the niece of the old lady's natal family. The attitude is normal.

When Gu Huai entered the door, the first thing Gu Huai saw was his mother sitting in a corner below the old lady. Shi Xin was sipping tea at this moment, and only nodded slightly when she saw her son coming in.Gu Huai frowned, the atmosphere was wrong, and at this moment, the system rang frantically.

[Enemy No. [-]: Lock; Enemy No. [-]: Lock.Enemy No. [-]... The above-mentioned enemy-attributed characters have entered the high-security warehouse. The enemy-attributed characters present broke through the cordon and turned on the alert mode: the host must maintain a high level of vigilance! 】

He collected himself, put his palms up, put the back of his hands on the ground, knelt down on both knees, and greeted the old lady with a big salute. "Grandson pays respects to grandma, and wishes grandma a long life and good health." There was nothing wrong with the respect on his face.

A hint of displeasure flashed in the old lady's eyes, but she still waved her hand to make Gu Huai stand up. "You can't do such a big gift, but now you have won the favor of the Holy One, and such behavior will make the Holy One think that I have insulted the gentleman."

Gu Huai seemed not to hear the sarcasm in the old lady's tone, and stood up with a smile. "Grandma's words really hurt grandson." His eyes were clear and his heart was open, "Fortunately, grandson knows that grandma is considerate of grandson."

The old lady was choked up with an uncomfortable expression on her face. If she hadn't heard her niece tell her something before, she would never have wanted to see Gu Huai, an oily bastard, who was as unpopular as his mother.But thinking about what her niece said to herself, she coughed lightly and held back her words.

The young Du Shi who was on the side laughed softly at this time, "Huai'er's filial piety to the old lady is also touched by the emperor. Today's sage governs the country with filial piety. Huai'er has won three yuan in a row. It can be seen that Huai'er is a model of filial piety that touches the sky." She directly crowned the word "filial piety" on the word "filial piety" for Gu Huai's winning the first prize of Xie Yuanhui in one fell swoop. Two clean.As she spoke, she changed the topic again, "It's a pity, it's a pity——"

But in an instant, the smile on her face turned into tears, "It's a pity that my sister, the baby in her womb didn't have time to come out and talk about filial piety with his brother Huai'er, so she broke up—"

Hearing Xiao Du's cry, it can be said that he is excellent in singing and writing.Shi Xinru, who was always in the corner, drank tea by herself as if she couldn't see or hear anything.Gu Huai knew in his heart that this person in Shou'an Courtyard had never had any kindness.

These days, those high-ranking people in the Shou'an Academy treat him with a much gentler attitude. Most of them entrusted him to win three yuan in the imperial examination this year. Gu Huai was awarded the post of attendant of the Hanlin Academy, which is the sixth grade.In previous years, the No. [-] Scholar was usually assigned the position of compiling and writing from the History Museum of the Liupin Imperial Academy, so it would be a great honor to change to an ordinary family.But the Gu family is really not an ordinary family, and an official of the sixth rank is really not a rare official position in this town government.

Of course, being a sixth-rank official position is nothing, but the name of Sanyuan has some weight. The arrogance of the incomparable second wife and one lineage has just subsided a little, otherwise how could there be such politeness from Mother Zhao in front of the Zhen Guogong's mansion.

Now hearing Xiao Du's crying, Gu Huai thought that what should come has finally come.The second room has always been arrogant in the mansion, how could it be possible to see a slight change in the first room?As for the "sister" that Xiao Du was talking about, Gu Huai immediately thought of the concubine Du Yue who was in his father's room, which his aunt usually dismissed.

Facing Xiao Du's, his attitude was unerring and respectful, "Auntie said...but what's wrong with Auntie Du?"

"Oh, it's my poor Yue'er sister..." Du Liyu cried with a sense of sadness, "This is a happy event for the Duke's mansion. It's a pity that my sister doesn't have this. Blessings..." She cried like pear blossoms and rain, she was really weak, very tender and pitiful.It's a pity that Gu Huai, the only man in the Shou'an Courtyard, doesn't know how to appreciate it. She bid farewell to her red lips covered under the handkerchief, stood up slowly, and walked towards Shi Xinru, still saying, "Sister, Why are you so cruel, that is also uncle's flesh and blood..."

It's just that before he reached Shi Xinru, he was blocked by someone. Gu Huai had a serious face, "Auntie, what are you talking about? Forgive me, my nephew really doesn't understand."

When Gu Huai blocked the way, Du Liyu almost missed him.The daughters of the Du family are famous in the capital for their outstanding looks. Although Du Liyu is not as good-looking as her elder sister, Concubine Hui, but she has been able to control the second-bedroom inner house of the Duke of Zhen's mansion for so many years. Apart from means, her color is naturally Not bad.A beauty is always tolerated by others, but Gu Huai, a junior, has repeatedly offended her, and now he is blocking her way!Little Du Shi was not angry, and her long red nails almost greeted Gu Huai's face.

It was too late to say it, but Aunt Muzi, who was beside Du Liyu, saw that her wife was having a temper tantrum, so she rushed up to stop her.A slap to the face of the imperial court official, no matter how powerful the Duke of Wei's mansion is, he is afraid that the censors will open their mouths, and the aunt left a nail mark on the nephew's face, and it will not be known what it will be like if it spreads outside.

She stabilized Du Liyu, and said directly, "Third son, Auntie Du went to say good afternoon to the eldest lady this afternoon, but after drinking a cup of fragrant tea, the three-month-old fetus in Auntie Du's womb would be lost. Old man People feel sorry for the blood of Duke Wei's family, and my wife feels sorry for Aunt Du, so I want to ask the eldest lady and the third son to come over and say that we are all members of the same family, so as not to cause any misunderstandings."

As soon as Aunt Muzi finished speaking, Shi Xinru over there sneered, "It's full of words, but it's not good."

The people in Shou'an Courtyard didn't pay any attention to her. In Duke Wei's mansion, Shi Xinru was always a joke in his mouth, or before Gu Huai High School, the whole clan of Dafang was ridiculed in the mansion because of Shi Xinru. Everyone knew that the eldest lady was a madman, that the eldest family was from the same line as the main family, and that Gu Huai and his brother were the children of a lunatic, and they couldn't please her anywhere.

Of course, this so-called insanity can only be said to be a matter of opinion, and Gu Huai, who has a lot of memories in his life, naturally has his own judgment.Hearing what Aunt Muzi and mother said at this time, Gu Huai probably understood the cause and effect of the incident.

Aunt Du, and the other two Du family members in the mansion are all from the Marquis of Tai'an. This Marquis of Tai'an could only be regarded as a third-rate family among the dignitaries in the capital. People joked that "scorpion □□ wants to eat swan meat", but the Duke of the old town admired his ambition, but after the aristocratic family, he was able to make progress.

However, Tai'anhou's mansion squeezed into the second-rate because Concubine Hui was drafted into the palace back then. Once the emperor was selected, he was honored and favored infinitely.Now there is no queen in the harem, Concubine Hui is in charge of the Phoenix seal, and she has five princes, her status is detached.At that time, the younger sister whom the Marquis of Tai'an betrothed to the Duke of Wei as his concubine had already been upright, and the second daughter, Du Liyu, who was betrothed by her younger sister, was the second son of the Duke of Wei. In the foothold.

Aunt Du, a concubine of the Hou family, the old lady's purpose of getting her into the big house can be imagined with her toes. This aunt is indispensable for making troubles for the big house on weekdays, but Gu Huai knows that the old lady and Hui In fact, the noble concubines and sisters don't think much of Aunt Du in their hearts. Like in today's play, could Aunt Du abort her baby voluntarily?
