Of course, Gu Qingcheng's "sincerity" doesn't stop there.
In addition to unreserved giving and sincere help, Gu Qingcheng will also show his vulnerable side.
The third month when Chen Duan's army arrived in Jiangling.
He was still confronting the Northern Dynasty troops across the river.
Both sides were tenaciously consuming.
Chen Duan has a stable rear area and a steady stream of logistical supplies, so he is not in a hurry at all.
He even had the idea to connect with the generals in other defense areas and secretly recruit them.
Horseshoes were also used by Chen Duan to cooperate with others.
Chen Duan received many benefits in exchange, and horseshoes also spread rapidly in the Southern Dynasties.
Soon, the Northern Dynasty generals across the river also knew.
"how so?"
"Has the secret of horseshoes been known?"
"These southern barbarians are so cunning!"
"...Actually, it has been secret for several years and has only been leaked now. It is not easy!"
The generals of the Northern Dynasties were either confused, cursed, or understood.
But no matter what their psychological state, they were still a little unhappy about the theft of the horseshoe secret.
Soon, the news spread back to Pingcheng, the capital of the Northern Dynasties, causing a new wave of shock.
As the hero who originally contributed horseshoes, Gu has now become the target of public criticism.
People in the Northern Dynasties had reason to suspect that Gu was responsible:
First, the Gu family was originally a clan from the Southern Dynasties. They were in Cao's camp but their hearts were in Han.
Secondly, the marriage between Gu Youyi and Yu Wenheng touched the interests of some old Xianbei nobles.
They originally intended to cause sabotage, and the incident of the horseshoe being kept secret became the best excuse!
Thirdly, as a fugitive family, the Gu family entered the center of power in the Northern Dynasties in the shortest possible time, which in itself was enviable.
Now, it's just a counterattack.
"Mr. Lang, what should we do?"
Xie was a little worried.
She was frightened by the rumors outside.
Like Xiao, after experiencing an escape, Xie actually had a shadow in her heart.
The turmoil in Pingcheng this time is quite similar to the "storm is about to come" in Jiankang.
And this time, it should be more terrifying than last time.
Last time, they were forced by Chen Jing and were able to escape to the Northern Dynasty.
This time, the nobles of the Northern Dynasty launched a violent attack on the Gu family. Where else could they, the Gu family, escape?
And the most important point is that Gu Youyi and Yu Wenheng are engaged, and they will hold a sunset ceremony just after Gu Youyi gets her hairpin.
If the Gu family fled the Northern Dynasty, what would Gu Youyi do?
Is she the only one left?
Mr. Xie is not at ease, let alone unwilling——
In addition to her mother-daughter affection, she also invested in rights for Gu Youyi.
Yu Wenheng was an emperor who could unify the north and south and rule the world.
Gu Youyi is the queen.
And the Gu family can become the most distinguished relative.
As Gu Youyi's mother-in-law, Mrs. Xie can also get the title of First-Rank Lady!
Once you escape from the Northern Dynasty, all of this will come to nothing!
"Just wait and see what happens!"
As Gu Yi's younger brother, Gu Ji may not be as good as Gu Yi, but he is also a true son of an aristocratic family.
He is proficient in the six arts of a gentleman, he is noble and knowledgeable.
As for his appearance, he is no less handsome than his eldest brother.
In his late forties, Gu Yi has three strands of beautiful beard and a spacious Taoist robe, giving him a somewhat fairy-like and noble temperament.
Gu Ji saw his wife Xie's eagerness, hesitation, and struggle.
He remained calm, only sighing slightly in his heart.
Alas, I don’t know if my wife has changed or if it’s just her nature.
After arriving in Northern Dynasty, Gu Ji didn't recognize her less and less.
As for Gu Youyi's daughter, Gu Ji was also quite disappointed.
As a noble daughter of an aristocratic family, although Gu Youyi is not the eldest daughter of the eldest son, she is also a young girl who has also received a good education.
Why is she so shallow?
Don’t you have any sense of family?
Of course, Gu Ji didn't want his daughter to sacrifice for the family.
However, the Gu family gave her a distinguished surname and extremely favorable living conditions. Why didn't she feel the slightest gratitude to the Gu family?
Okay, take a step back and don't ask for her gratitude!
But you can't hate the Gu family.
Look what she has done in the past few years?
He devoted himself to currying favor with the Yuwen family, and used the resources of the Gu family to help Yu Wenheng rise.
Yu Wenheng became the leader, but he did not support the Gu family in return. Instead, he made troubles overtly and covertly.
What happened to Gu Hong completely disappointed Gu Ji!
What makes Gu Ji most sad is not only that his daughter is not well-raised, but also his wife's petty thoughts.
Gu Youyi was young, ignorant, and made mistakes because her parents failed to teach her well.
But what about Mr. Xie?
As the mistress of Gu's second wife, she is as selfish and cold as Gu Youyi.
If it weren't for the love of a married couple and if there weren't other children, Gu Jizhen would have wanted to reconcile with Mr. Xie.
Of course, for now, even if you want to reconcile, it's not appropriate.
"Just wait, wait for some time..."
Looking at Mr. Xie's unfamiliar face, Gu Ji made a decision.
"Just wait and see what happens? Lang Jun, what do you mean by this? How can you sit still and wait for death?"
"Otherwise, I'll ask Li Nu to find General Yuwen."
"Everything outside is full of rumors. How could our Gu family betray the Northern Dynasty?"
"Others don't understand, but General Yuwen should believe in us!"
"...If it doesn't work out, why don't you just bring forward Li Nu's marriage?"
Xie was a little confused at first.
But as I talked, I got an idea.
Especially when she mentioned "advance marriage", her eyes lit up.
"Yes! Marry the raccoon slave to Yuwen's family in advance."
"The reason they doubt us is because they think we are outsiders."
And if you marry the Yuwen royal family, you will be one of your own!
Those old Xianbei nobles had no reason to criticize the Gu family.
Gu Ji:......
He squeezed the teacup tightly, but he still didn't show any signs of strangeness.
However, the more Ms.
"And in the past few years, I have been saving a dowry for the raccoon slave."
"Everything is almost ready. Two months in advance, so it won't seem too hasty!"
But it can keep Gu away from the center of the storm.
Xie just felt that her idea was too good.
"Lang Jun, what do you think?"
At the end of the sentence, Xie looked at Gu Ji expectantly.
Gu Ji: ...that’s fine! Let her be!
"Okay! However, I still have to discuss it with Brother!"
Gu Ji put down the tea cup and raised his head, still looking like a gentle and elegant gentleman.
Xie: ...Brother! Brother!
You are almost at an age where you are no longer confused, why do you still go to my brother for everything?
Are their second wives destined to be suppressed by their first wife for the rest of their lives?
Xie was filled with anger, but she didn't dare to say anything.
Xie thought that she had done a perfect job by not expressing her dissatisfaction.
Little did he know that the unwillingness and reluctance in her eyes were all seen by Gu Ji.
Alas~~
Sighing silently again, Gu Ji no longer had any "fantasy".
"Let's do it in advance."
"Aqing's side is also ready, just waiting for us to leave."
Gu Yi saw his brother's slightly depressed look and secretly felt sorry for him, but he didn't say anything.
There are some things that you still have to see through without telling them.
Otherwise, instead of comforting his brother, it will actually embarrass him.
"Aqing, are you ready?"
"...Oh, it's been nearly ten years since we were separated, and I don't know what A Qing looks like anymore!"
Gu Ji's eyes lit up when he mentioned Gu Qing, his wise and almost demonic niece.
In fact, Gu Ji also received many letters from his father in the past few years.
In the letter, Gu Heng would occasionally mention common gossip such as "A Qing has become beautiful."
Gu Ji, like Gu Yi, couldn't imagine it.
Well, the former Gu Qing looked so unique.
The Gu family, who were far away in the Northern Dynasties, could not imagine what it would be like for Gu Qing to become beautiful.
However, unlike Gu Yi, Gu Ji believed in his father even more——
Father will not lie!
Even if it is a white lie, my father, the world-famous Duke You'an, is too lazy to say it!
Therefore, Aqing should have really followed the slang term of "a woman's transformation".
Gu Ji was looking forward to it.
Gu Yi: ...Oh, I’m afraid that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment!
"No matter what A Qing becomes, she will still be my daughter and the pride of our Gu family!"
Gu Yi said in a deep voice.
Gu Ji nodded vigorously and said with emotion when he mentioned Gu Qing, "Aqing has been smart since she was a child. Unexpectedly, when she went to Lingnan, she became like a sword unsheathed."
Show off your edge!
It would be difficult for a little girl to be like Gu Qing, even with the support of her family.
Four states and counties.
Oh, by the way, I heard that they also captured Guangcheng.
Well, in this way, she has strangled the fate of the entire Lingnan.
Given some time, she will surely occupy the entire Lingnan and become the King of Lingnan!
In this way, they will have the strength to compete with Jiankang.
Further on——
The Gu family can also change dynasties and reach the pinnacle of power.
When he thought of this, Gu Ji's mood, which had just been depressed by his wife and daughter, suddenly became high.
The Gu family does have some idiots who can't figure it out, but they also have extremely smart and talented people.
"Everything went according to plan."
"Li Nu's evening ceremony has been brought forward. In addition, A Xiao and I have also prepared an extra gift for Li Nu."
Gu Yi brought the topic back and continued to discuss Gu Youyi's marriage.
Although the Gu family gave up on Gu Youyi, she was still their little girl.
If you can't help her family, then give her more dowry.
Gu Ji was silent again.
After a moment, he raised his head and cupped his hands towards Gu Yigong, "Brother, I would like to thank you and sister-in-law on behalf of Li Nu!"
Gu Ji was extremely sober. He knew that it was not the Gu family's fault that Gu Youyi was abandoned.
Everything is her own choice.
The eldest brother is still willing to add makeup to Gu Youyi, which is already the most benevolent thing.
"Oh, I just hope she can take care of herself!"
"..."
Sighing, the Gu brothers made a decision.
However, Gu Youyi didn't know the inside story and only thought that the Gu family really wanted to marry the Yuwen family.
Moreover, Gu Youyi was also happy to be able to marry Yu Wenheng earlier.
In the past few years, she had always felt as if her dreams were unreal.
She is always afraid that one day, "Meng" will suddenly wake up, and her queen and her two saints will turn into clouds and smoke.
Now that the evening ceremony has been brought forward, she can marry Yu Wenheng as soon as possible, and her "dream" has come true!
