Of course, not all people in Beijing are unreasonable.
Not everyone believed what the eldest princess said.
However, the world is always the most harsh on women.
Everyone knows that Huo Wuniang is innocent, and they all understand that she is the poor victim.
However, Huo Wuniang's reputation still had flaws.
In order to quell the rumors and allow her granddaughter to relax, Grandma Huo suggested: "The eldest lady in the hall of my hometown is celebrating her sixty-sixth birthday."
"Logically, as my brother-in-law, I should beg for a birthday drink, but things in the capital are complicated, and I'm also ill, so it's not easy for me to travel long distances."
"If you go there by force, instead of congratulating others on their birthday, you will cause trouble for them!"
"Wu Niang, why don't you go there on my grandma's behalf?"
It's a good reason to go back to your hometown to pay birthdays to your cousin's ancestors.
It can not only keep Huo Wuniang away from the center of public opinion, but also build a reputation for "filial piety".
It can be said that one stone kills several birds with one stone.
So, Huo Wuniang left the capital three months ago.
A few days ago, Huo Wuniang had just finished her birthday wine from her hometown and was about to return to the capital.
Passing through this small county town, Huo Wuniang was originally planning to stop, buy some supplies, and then continue on her way.
Unexpectedly, when I passed the intersection of East Street, I saw a beautiful young man on the roadside.
At first, Huo Wuniang didn't think much about it. She just wanted to see more of the beauty in the prosperous age.
He made the carriage go around twice and looked at him fiercely several times, fulfilling the simple wish of a handsome dog.
But just when Huo Wuniang was thinking about taking one last circle and taking one last look, an accident happened.
Tsk, as expected, "the last time" or something like that is too evil!
Huo Wuniang put her chaotic thoughts back and said to Gu Qingcheng in a deep voice, "By coincidence, I am going back to Beijing. I can take you on the road with me."
"Xiao Langjun, I wonder if you are willing?"
Gu Qingcheng hesitated and thought, confusion and hesitation flashed across his eyes.
Finally, she seemed to have thought of something and nodded firmly, "Okay! I always feel that the capital is very important to me."
"Perhaps, my family is in the capital!"
As he spoke, Gu Qingcheng straightened up, clasped his hands together, pushed them straight out from his chest, bent his upper body, and saluted Huo Wuniang.
Huo Wuniang raised her eyebrows: Oh, this is a semi-standard hand-clasping ceremony.
Why is it "half"? Because Gu Qingcheng is sitting, not standing.
Of course, Huo Wuniang knew that it was not that the young boy was rude, but that his leg was injured and he could not stand up.
He understands etiquette and has such good temperament. Who would believe that he is an ordinary person?
"Dong? There is no family named Dong in Beijing."
After coming out of the hospital, Huo Wuniang ordered someone to get a carriage and put Gu Qingcheng inside.
She returned to her carriage, gently lifted the curtains, and secretly looked at the carriage behind her.
She couldn't help but murmur to herself, "Which family is he the husband of? Looking at his appearance and demeanor, he shouldn't be unknown!"
For example, her unlucky former blind date, the son of the eldest princess and the young prince of Duke Wei, was known as the "Four Young Masters of the Capital" because he was not that dandy. ….
"Bah! It's the Fourth Young Master! He's average in talent and appearance, and has average character. It's just because of his family background that he's so praised!"
Huo Wuniang admitted that she was "acting off her anger".
But, this is also true!
At least compared to the young boy he saved, the so-called Fourth Young Master in the capital is really nothing!
"Wu Niang, this old slave reminds me of a certain family!"
Huo Wuniang's wet nurse is also her most useful grandmother.
After hearing Huo Wuniang's words, she suddenly thought of something and said hesitantly, "That family's surname is Dong!"
Huo Wuniang raised her eyebrows, "Which one?"
"Uncle Jingning's Mansion!"
"Concubine Dong's mother's family?"
Huo Wuniang blurted out this sentence.
If there is any big family surnamed Dong in Beijing, no one can think of it.
But when it comes to Concubine Dong Gui, even Huo Wuniang, who has been in the capital less than two years ago, also knows her name.
There’s no other reason than it’s so famous!
Outstanding appearance but humble origins.
The first time you marry a minister, the second time you marry a king.
For her, Emperor Qing, a wise and powerful emperor, did many ridiculous things.
He seizes the wives of ministers, neglects the harem, and only dotes on them. Even the Dong family follows the chickens and dogs to heaven.
The Dong family was originally just a minor official in the capital, and it was Concubine Dong's father's generation who only began to enter the officialdom.
Concubine Dong Guifei’s grandfather was still a farmer.
Many members of the older generation of her clan are also farming outside Beijing.
It can be said that in the eyes of a truly aristocratic family, the Dong family is a shabby household that smells like dirt.

"Xiao Lang-kun——"
I have to say that beauty is a critical blow, whether it is a young lady or a maid, it is the same.
The little maid was particularly attentive when serving Gu Qingcheng.
Those who didn’t know, thought she was Gu Qingcheng’s slave!
Huoshui couldn't bear to see it, and said angrily, "Your Majesty the Queen of Heaven, are you exchanging a shotgun for a cannon? You can reach the sky in one step?"
Gu Qingcheng didn't even have a glance from the corner of his eye.
Huoshui became more and more angry, "You are here in a carriage and have a maid to serve you, but where is Wu Yanniang?"
"Yes! She did have bad intentions, but she did save you and take care of you!"
"You, you are not worried about her at all!"
"I tell you, Wu Yanniang is now——"
Huoshui said angrily while opening the God's perspective.
It said "Huh" and then silenced.
Because it saw that Wu Yanniang at this moment was not as miserable as it imagined.
The boy came over to tell her the latest news, "I heard that the young man in the indigo robe was injured and his brain was damaged. He can't remember anything."
"However, the accent sounded like he was from the capital. It happened that the noble man was also going back to the capital, so he took him with him!"
Having said this, the young man deliberately looked at Wu Yanni: "My dear wife, don't you know that your husband is from the capital?"
Wu Yanniang: ...I know my tricks!
Although, as shrewd as Wu Yanniang, she seemed to realize something.
In fact, even if she didn't guess the "truth", she still realized that Ah Jiu no longer belonged to her!
Her worries all along came true, Ah Jiu was indeed snatched away by a more noble woman!
"well!"
Wu Yanniang sighed silently.
At this moment, she didn't know whether she should be angry, sad, or relieved.
Sure enough, there is no time in life that you can’t force.
She and Ah Jiu couldn't be together after all.
In the words of later generations, Wu Yanniang was an exquisite egoist.
Her love for "Ajiu" just stems from her appearance and her "gamble" to get into a good family.
It is impossible to say that there is any deep emotion or a life-or-death love.
After confirming that there was no possibility between herself and Ah Jiu, Wu Yanniang began to think about her future.
She glanced at the enthusiastic young man and sighed, "Brother, it seems you have discovered it too! Ah Jiu and I are not actually a real couple."
"We met by chance. I had just lost my father, had no relatives, and was homeless. As for Ah Jiu, he said he was going to the capital, so I also wanted to visit the capital, so I went with him."
"For convenience, I lied about being husband and wife."
When the young boy heard Wu Yanniang's words, a flash of "sure enough" flashed in his eyes.
Although the young man and woman only lived in one room, every time they came to clean the room, the young man would find something unusual about the bed.
The two of them should sleep in separate beds!
Now, finally getting the answer from Wu Yanniang, the boy felt inexplicably happy.
"Now that Ajiu has a better home, he doesn't need my help anymore. I, I——"
As she spoke, Wu Yanniang lowered her head, tears falling on the back of her hands.
"Little lady, I, I am also a person. If you don't mind, I, I am willing to take care of you!"
"..." Wu Yanniang didn't say yes, but she didn't refuse either.
Disaster:…….
