Fan was married into the Gu family by Gu Mingbo in a sedan chair.
Coincidentally, on the second day after Fan entered the family, his father received a promotion order and was transferred from Jiangning Prefecture to Kaifeng Prefecture to serve as Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple.
Although he was a fourth-grade postal officer, his official position was half a level higher than that of the Jiangning magistrate, and he had no real power, but he was at the feet of the emperor after all, and had more opportunities for promotion. His father was overjoyed and his attitude toward Fan was better.
Three days later, when his father was going to Beijing to take up his post, he called Fan to the study alone and asked her for the remaining treasure maps.
Fan refused to give it.
Let's just say she only has so much.
The treasure map at that time was split into two, and what she had in her hand was half of the remains.
Father felt that he was being tricked by Fan and ordered Fan to hand over the rest of the treasure map. Fan refused to let go. When his father went to Kaifeng Mansion, he told him about the matter and asked him to continue to press for Fan's treasure map. 's whereabouts.
At that time, he had selfish motives and wanted to use the treasure map to drive this younger brother out of the house.
Unexpectedly, before he could take action, his younger brother seemed to have noticed it, and disappeared without a trace overnight with Fan.
Thinking of this, Gu Mingjue's eyes flashed.
At this time, the door opened.
A woman in her forties opened the door: "Who are you looking for?"
Xiao Tai said: "We came from Jiangning Mansion to find your master."
Mother Fang thought of what the girl and the young master had told her before they left, and said, "They are not here, you can go back."
After that, close the door.
Xiao Tai hurriedly stretched out his hand to block it, but when his hand touched the transparent barrier, he felt a heartbreaking pain. His middle finger and index finger were burned to the bone.
He hurriedly used his spiritual power to heal, and then he felt that the heartbreaking pain was relieved.
Just now he was doubting whether this formation was the Five Elements Reversal of Yin and Yang Formation, but now he was very sure that it was this formation.
I couldn't help but feel a little scared.
Gu Mingjue took a step forward and said in a harsh tone: "Tell your master that I am his uncle and I came here specifically to find him."
I thought that after hearing her identity, the woman would let them in first.
Unexpectedly, the mother-in-law immediately darkened her face: "You have come to the Gu family with pretense and deceit. My master said that he has no relatives. Anyone who comes to ask for marriage is a liar. Look at the clothes you are wearing, what are you doing?" Well, he actually cheated, bah~"
After Fang's mother sprayed her spit on Gu Mingjue's face, she glared at him and quickly closed the door.
When had Gu Mingjue been treated like this?
His face turned black, and he was so angry that he even forgot to wipe the saliva from his face.
He looked at the closed door in front of him, thought of the secret decree still hidden in his sleeve, endured it again and again, and angrily took out the handkerchief he had just used to wipe off the sweat, wiped the saliva off his face, and then threw it away.
Seeing the sun rising higher and the temperature getting higher and higher, Gu Mingjue's face turned red with anger, and his neck also turned red, feeling even hotter.
When Xiao Tai saw this, he knocked on the door again.
This time he didn't even open the door, he just cursed through the door: "I told you that our master is not at home, and my master said that all his relatives are dead."
Gu Mingjue: "!!!"
What does this bastard mean?
Even if he doesn't admit it, it can't change the fact that he is his uncle. This kind of blood relationship cannot be broken off easily.
Otherwise, why would the official give him this secret letter?
Gu Mingjue was so angry: "Xiao Tai, break this door open for me."
Xiao Tai said with an ugly expression: "Lang Jun, this formation is too powerful. With my cultivation level, I still can't break it by force."
Gu Mingjue choked.
He flung his sleeves angrily and got on the carriage: "Then I'll wait here. How can this kid still not come out?"
There was not much ice in the carriage, and it had all melted by noon.
Gu Mingjue sat in the carriage, feeling hot and hungry.
This was the first time in his forty-seven years that he had suffered like this.
"Mr. Lang, are you still waiting?"
Gu Mingjue gritted his teeth, covered his hungry stomach, and snorted coldly: "When he returns to Yuanyuan Town, he doesn't recognize me as his uncle, so I, as the prefect, will let him know who he can mess with and who he can mess with." Don’t mess with it.”
Originally, he wanted to establish a good relationship in advance as an uncle. The guards he brought were temporarily placed in the inn in Yunyuan Town.
Since he doesn't know what to do, he will go as the prefect tomorrow.
Let's see what other tricks he can pull off.
On the second day, Gu Mingjue put on the official uniform of the prefect, a vermilion red dress, a white midriff underneath, a large material belt on the outside, a brocade ribbon on his body, and black leather shoes on his feet. Entered Wangjia Village.
The guard knocked on the bronze rope all the way to clear the way.
"The prefect is on official business, and the rest are waiting to give in."
"..."
When the villagers heard that it was the magistrate, they knelt down by the roadside in fear and waited until the official and the carriage were far away before they dared to stand up and discuss it.
"This is my first time seeing such a big official."
"The prefect is sitting in a sedan chair without even showing his face. Where did you see it?"
"Follow me now. The magistrate must get down from the carriage. You'll see him then!"
Since Wang Mianmian fell into the lake for no reason last time, he broke his leg a day after returning. He lay in bed for three months before the leg healed. When he heard the sound of gongs outside, he came over to watch the fun. .
Knowing that the prefect was here or going to the Gu family, he couldn't help but follow him.
What if this high official came to take the Gu family and send them to prison?
How could she let go of such a good opportunity to relieve her anger?
The officer at the front holding the copper ring stood at the door of Gu's house, rang the ring with force again, and shouted loudly: "The prefect is on business, the Gu family will open the door to welcome you."
Soon, the door to the Gu family was opened.
Mother Fang led Mother Wu and Mother Meng to kneel at the door: "The common people have seen the prefect, please come in quickly."
Gu Mingjue saw the courtyard door open through the curtain of the carriage and sneered silently before getting off the carriage Shiranly.
"Look, look, look, red official uniform."
"The prefect is a fourth-grade official, so of course he wears a red official uniform." This was said by Wang Youhuai, who had a little bit of culture.
He stood in front of Wang Youde's house and looked at the situation on the hillside. He was a little worried that the Gu family was in trouble. He wanted to take a look, but he didn't dare.
After all, the other party is the prefect.
Wang Mianmian didn't dare to get close. He only stood next to Li Qiuju at Wang Damao's door, staring at the door of Gu's house.
Li Qiuju glanced at Wang Mianmian up and down, and said in a sarcastic tone: "You have been very unlucky in the past few months. You either fell into the lake, broke your leg, or almost choked to death while eating. You couldn't have been mourned by something. I think Men Xing is possessed, so don’t stand next to me, and don’t stand in front of my house, so you can avoid the bad luck.”
Li Qiuju's words made Wang Mianmian roll his eyes angrily: "If you don't stand, you won't stand. Do you think you are a good thing and a thief?"
