The son-in-law is a thief

The sea wind rides the waves, it comes from Penglai, raises the banner of the Gu family, and beats the sails of the lucky boat.

The girl stood in a corner of the port, and she watched quietly the people coming and going on the shore, and the boats coming and going in the sea. This is the jewel in the palm of Emperor Guangxiao of the Great Zhou Empire, Princess Zhaoyang, the daughter of the empire.The sea breeze continued to blow, stroking her long black hair and rolling up the stone blue shawl embroidered with exquisite animal patterns, making the jade pendant around her waist strike a crisp movement.

On this pier full of masculinity, she is like a painting that is out of place, so that the passing boatmen and sailors can't help but quietly rest their eyes on her, which makes the guards around her nervous. Pressing the handle of the knife, for fear that some reckless man would disturb the princess's cleanliness.

The maid Feng Jian and Feng Di stood on both sides of Zhaoyang, their master didn't say a word, and the two of them just watched the distance quietly, the tide ebbed and flowed, and their hearts were still like water.

"Princess, Du Yong asks to see you." The warrior who spoke was about forty years old. He had the figure of Kong Wu, with a mustache and a well-groomed beard. He looked energetic. This general named Huo Qishan was once a The number one warrior of the Great Zhou Empire is now the most loyal guard around Zhaoyang.

"Ask him to come here." Zhaoyang said softly, and turned around to wait for the meeting.

The warriors guarding around Zhaoyang are like a solid door. When the door opens, a scholar in Tsing Yi comes in with a smile on his face. The scholar wears a square scarf and glasses. Scholars probably feel the same way.

Walking up to Zhaoyang, the scholar made a long bow.The scholar said: "Du Yong greets the princess."

"Master Jiu doesn't need to be too polite." Zhaoyang was very polite.

"The princess killed me," Du Yong straightened up, he looked amicable, not at all like the old fox in the Pirate Gang, Du Yong said: "The princess is the king, I am the minister, just call me Du Yong. "

In the past few days, Zhaoyang secretly investigated the people who followed Gu Ruyang on the day of their wedding. These four people are all Gu Ruyang's cronies, but only Du Yong rarely goes to sea. He seems harmless, but he is a retainer of the Gu family. The one with the highest status in the village, he has followed Gu Ruyang's father Gu Changhai since he was 25 years old, and has always been the teacher of the Gu family. Now that he is nearly fifty, even Gu Ruyang respects him three points.

She didn't believe that the old fox really wanted to play a touching scene with her. Gu Yong's words on the wedding night were very clear. Completely replaced the Chen family, whether it was the port, the ships on the sea, the handicap under this banner or even the royal approval, all had been replaced by the Gu family's surname.At the same time, Du Yong also said this to Zhaoyang. Zhaoyang's plan, or the court's plan, was the ship and trade of the world's number one pirate. From the beginning to the end of the marriage, it was a win-win business. Du Yong But I am telling Zhaoyang that the business is now done by the Gu family.

"It's a little strange to call the name directly. Since I am the master of the Gu family, I am also called the master, how do you think?" Zhaoyang said, her voice was gentle, but the words revealed that she had inquired about Du Yong's identity , it seems that there is steel in softness.

"Then it's better to obey orders than to be respectful." Du Yong bowed.

The waves crashed against the rocks, the pier rang the horn, and a seagull flew past Zhaoyang at low altitude, and then flew into the distance.

"It's sunny and sunny today." Du Yong caught a feather that fell from a seagull. Seeing that the feather was as white as blood and as straight as a sword, Du Yong put it into his clothes. The scholar continued: "Did the princess go to the port to see the scenery?"

"I'm here to see people." Zhaoyang said frankly, "I haven't seen Fu Ma since the wedding."

"The son-in-law is at sea." Du Yong replied, "She doesn't like to go ashore as the head of the family."

Zhaoyang's eyes moved to the direction of the port. The sea was endless, as if it would never end in sight. The people on the boat had no roots and were always drifting with the wind.

"Is it not good on the shore?" Zhaoyang asked.

"Du Yong also likes this land more." Du Yong said, unconsciously touching the jade pendant on his waist.

Du Yong also understood what Zhaoyang meant, and he said in a seemingly unintentional tone: "I understand that the master will return to the mansion at noon, and leave at Shenshi. The princess will arrange what the princess thinks."

Zhaoyang's eyes lit up, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile, which was even brighter than the sun.

"Thank you, master." Zhaoyang also bowed his knees and beat him. As a princess, she could have done otherwise, but she was used to fighting on Taiping Island in the past two years, so she knew how to behave.

Du Yong returned his long bow, and said: "The princess needs to understand that everything Du Yong does is for the Gu family."

"As long as your boss is still the son-in-law, then what I do is also for the Gu family." Zhaoyang said again: "Then trouble master to take care of it, Zhaoyang will not send it away."

After Zhaoyang finished speaking, Du Yong naturally knew that this was the meaning of seeing off the guests. At this time Huo Qishan turned sideways to make way for a dozen, Du Yong took two steps back and left knowingly.

Seeing Du Yong walking away, Huo Qishan walked to Zhaoyang's side, this warrior was completely dissatisfied with Zhaoyang's marriage, but the king is the king, and the minister is the minister, his dissatisfaction can only be accepted.

"Princess, you are too polite to this Gu family." Huo Qishan said.

Zhaoyang turned around and stopped looking at the sea view, she walked towards her chariot, Huo Qishan followed behind her, Feng Jian and Fengdi helped Zhaoyang onto the chariot, before getting into the chariot, Zhaoyang said softly: " General Huo, this marriage is to be connected with the number one pirate in the world, what we want is a boat, what the Gu family wants is a name, at least Du Yong wants to be with us, don't care about those rules."

Zhaoyang looked to the north again, and she said softly, "Rules won't help us go home."

"Yes." Huo Qishan cupped his hands, the chariot slowly moved past him, and he looked up at Zhaoyang again, if the eldest princess had been born 20 years earlier, maybe the other side of the sea would not be what it is today.

The current Gu's Mansion is also the former Chen's Mansion. The mansion and the port are integrated, and the road leading from the port to the mansion can drive eight carriages at the same time, which is comparable to the Suzaku Avenue in front of the imperial palace.There is a huge stone archway in the middle of this section of the road. There are three big characters written in the direction of the archway leading to the port - Wanshi Port. These three characters are written in regular script. The font is dignified and majestic. Look at the texture of the archway , the green tea garden stones were used. This stone village does not produce much in Taiping Island, and it must have come from outside the island. I don’t know how much manpower it took to transport and unload it.

Although it is made of stone, it is made of wood. The kiss, arch and ridge of the archway are all intact. There is a kiss beast standing on the kiss, and the left and right carvings are eagles and pheasants, which means heroic and radiant.

After passing the archway is the current Gu's mansion. After Chen Qingchuan's death, Gu Ruyang did not make things difficult for the servants of Gu's mansion. He even kept those who were willing to stay, and did not force those who were willing to leave. It was only after living in the Chen Mansion for a few days that I found out that Gu Ruyang seldom got off the boat, so naturally he didn't care about the affairs of the Gu Mansion.

Seeing Zhaoyang's team coming, the servants also came up to welcome them, those who lead the horses and those who opened the door all performed their duties.Huo Qishan led the way, and Zhaoyang entered the mansion under the escort of a group of Qianniu guards.

Gu Ruyang killed 180 people in the Chen family stall, 27 of them died in the mansion. It stands to reason that this could be considered a haunted house, but Zhao Yang still chose to live in Pinglan Courtyard. That was Chen Qingchuan. The courtyard of the eldest grandson, Zhaoyang took a fancy to this place facing south, with excellent lighting and ventilation. There are as few peonies, lilies, pine, bamboo, orchids, plums and chrysanthemums in the courtyard. reward.

There is also a small canal in the courtyard, with some exquisite waterscapes simply set up, lotus, Changpu and some water poppies | The small canal is more colorfully decorated, and there are many Japanese koi and paddling turtles in the water.Although it is not as good as the former Princess Mansion, it is still lively and unique.

Huo Qishan led people to guard the gate of the courtyard, ordered the servants to boil water and prepare tea by the flute, and took the plainclothes for Zhaoyang to change for her by Fengjian. He was not in the palace, and the rules were carried out in an orderly manner. There was already a burst of tea fragrance in Haoyi's tea room.After entering the tea room, I performed the tea ceremony with the flute, and stood by Zhaoyang with the sword to wait for the call. The two went about their own business, as quiet as if there had never been two people in the room.

Zhaoyang took out a copy of "Eastern Voyage and Sea Records" from the bookcase. She was sitting in front of the desk, reading it and marking it with a Chinese ink pen. It was found in Chen Qingchuan's study. For the sake of practicality, after all, at most what one knows in the palace is what the emperor can see, and Zhaoyang still doesn't know much about the scenery in the sea.

After watching for a long while, the cicadas outside the house made her a little tired, so Zhaoyang put down the book, saw the timing, refilled the cup of tea on the flute and put it on the coaster and presented it to Zhaoyang.

Zhaoyang only took a sip and put down the teacup.

"It's been five days since I've been at Gu's house." Zhaoyang asked.

Feng Jian said: "Princess Hui, today is the fifth day."

"Is there any movement from the servants of the Chen family?" He said and looked out the window. It is strange to say that Gu Ruyang killed 27 members of the Chen family. As if nothing happened, it was time to work and work, as if it didn't make any difference who was the master.

"There is no movement, everything is safe and sound." Feng Jian replied: "The servant also felt a little weird, so I sent someone to inquire about it."

"Let's talk about it." Zhaoyang picked up the teacup again, and there was new tea, the temperature was just right for his mouth.

"The original owner of this house was the Gu family." Feng Jian said: "20 years ago, Chen Qingchuan was the second head of Wanshigang, and Gu Ruyang's father Gu Changhai was the head of the house. I don't know what tricks Chen Qingchuan played. , let Gu Changhai give him the position of being the head of the family, and the house changed owners at that time. But all the senior people in this house still regard the Gu family as their masters in their hearts."

"It's not surprising, just say that no one stopped Gu Ruyang when he entered the Chen residence." Zhaoyang suddenly said, now she can still think of Gu Ruyang standing in front of Chen Qingchuan's head with a cold face that night, It's like a beautiful Rakshasa.
