Mountain People

Dong Chenghu had just woken up and was in a good mood, but his mind was still dizzy, he was stunned after hearing Gu Shuixiu's words, and asked strangely: "Why do you ask this suddenly? What's the problem?"

Gu Shuixiu whispered a few words in Dong Chenghu's ear, and then she said normally: "Your Majesty, we have been with the Yuan family for a year, and you know the temperament of the Yuan family's old man to some extent. I don't like to bother others, and I don't like to rely on others. They are uncomfortable in the palace, which is not a good thing for everyone. We will go and see later. If the old man has an idea, we will support them as much as possible. What do you think?"

Dong Chenghu also clearly understands what Gu Shuixiu said. He even understands the old man's thoughts better. After all, he is a scholar. The reason for accepting the money they gave was because they insisted, and it was difficult to refuse after knowing their identities, so they accepted it. Later, Dong Chenghu thought about helping them again, but the old man said nothing.

If he lived in an adobe house like Baishui County, he himself would not be able to pass the hurdle in his heart.

It happened that Dong Chenghu and Gu Shuixiu had not seen their grandsons for a long time, so they let them in with a smile, holding their three children and refusing to let go.

After Bai Tongyu greeted her, she silently stood aside and watched with a smile. It was not until Gu Shuixiu asked her that Bai Tongyu respectfully dismissed what had happened during the more than one year that Gu Shuixiu was away from the palace. He landed and told the Empress, "Mother, Princess Wen gave you a little granddaughter, and Princess Wu gave birth to another son. Recently, I often think about why she didn't give birth to a sweet little padded jacket, and I feel a little depressed, but she is still confinement. , I can't enter the palace, please be safe.

The eldest young master of the Yongan Mansion has already married, and the other is the eldest daughter of General Yu Qi’s family…”

Dong Chenghu and Gu Shuixiu listened with a smile, they were overjoyed, they thought that Princess Wen would bring her young daughter into the palace later, which would make them rare.

Seeing Dong Chenghu and Gu Shuixiu so happy, Bai Tongyu hesitated whether to tell them another bad news.

Gu Shuixiu's eyes were sharp, and she found that Bai Tongyu's face was not very right. Under her questioning, Bai Tongyu sighed and said: "After father and mother, Master Taifu has been ill since the beginning of the year, and he is now ill. It's getting heavier, the imperial doctor said, it won't last long."

"What!" Dong Chenghu stood up in astonishment, his face full of disbelief.

Gu Shuixiu, like him, asked sadly, "How could this happen? When we left, the husband was still so strong, how could he fall ill so quickly? What about the imperial doctors in the imperial hospital? Can't it be cured?"

Bai Tongyu was both sad and angry when she saw the emperor and empress, and quickly explained: "Father and empress, the prince has sent the entire imperial hospital to the Taifu mansion to see the doctor, and even some civilians. Doctors with superb medical skills have been invited, but Taifu is already advanced, and he has suffered from some hidden diseases in the past. Now he can only treat it gently, take care of it slowly, and can't give any medicine.

It's just that those mild medicines can't cure it, so... In addition, the affairs of the Pei family have been bothering the Taifu, and the Taifu can't rest well. "

Bai Tongyu answered honestly: "The Pei family has indeed disintegrated their internal forces since the separation of the family. There is no problem with the second and third rooms of the Pei family, but the Dingguo Gongfu is different. None of the three sons of Duke Dingguo were fuel-efficient.

Especially the second and third sons of Duke Dingguo, the two of them can be said to have healed their scars and forgot the pain. .

The two of them couldn't be in politics, and the Yue family gave them up, plus they kept squandering the money of Duke Dingguo's government, over time Duke Dingguo's eldest son's family also had opinions on them, and at first it was just I deducted some money, and then I simply didn't give it.

This matter finally came to Ding Guogong, Ding Guogong was so angry that he had a stroke, and it seemed that he was going to die. The room will not end well.

Ding Guogong couldn't, so he wrote a trustee to give it to Taifu, hoping that Taifu would help coordinate the family affairs, but I didn't know that Taifu's health was not good. With a heart attack, it was useless for Duke Zhen to persuade him. Now Master Tai Fu occasionally dreams about being sorry for his wife and so on. It seems that the affairs of the Pei family have caused him a serious psychological burden. "

Bai Tongyu didn't understand why Shen Shikang felt guilty about what happened to the Pei family, but Dong Chenghu and Gu Shuixiu knew that since Pei Dongqi never listened to Shen Shikang's persuasion, Shen Shikang alienated the Pei family intentionally or unintentionally , and even euphemistically rejected Pei Dongqi's proposal to marry, and he never had any interaction with the Pei family afterwards. In fact, what he did was also to protect the Shen family and the family of Duke Zhenguo, but it was in the eyes of others. Humanity, even ruthlessness.

Now the Pei family is falling apart, and Pei Dongqi has become like this again. Except for the name of Duke Dingguo, the big house of the Pei family is nothing compared to the second and third rooms of the Pei family. Guilt is also human nature.

Gu Shuixiusi paid, looked at Dong Chenghu, motioned him to sit down and think of a way, and then asked Bai Tongyu, "How is your body now, sir? Can you still eat food? How is your sleep? ?"

Gu Shuixiu asked a question, but fortunately Bai Tongyu had a detailed understanding of it before, so he was able to answer.

The emperor thought about a solution, but didn't say anything.

Bai Tongyu wanted to see the original family, and asked after deliberation: "After the father and mother, the crown prince just told me that the aunt's family has entered the palace, and the daughter-in-law wants to visit them."

"Yes, you are a junior, you can meet them in the past, they are in the Liuyin Pavilion, you go first, and by the way ask them if they have any shortages, or if they have any requirements, I will follow you. The royal father first discuss how to deal with the matter of the Taifu, and then go over." Gu Shuixiu liked Bai Tongyu's filial piety and respect, and gently asked her to leave with the child.

Only then did I frown with Dong Chenghu and discuss how to solve the problem of the Pei family.
