Chapter 221 Sending Military Books
"Hmph." Gu Fu lay back in the rocking chair, picked up the drawing paper on the table, and covered his head and face tightly.
Song Renjing smiled and opened the cover: "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. You should have a good rest and eat less snacks to avoid indigestion. I will go back to write a letter." After saying this, Song Renjing rubbed Gu Fu's round head again, then left with a happy smile.
Gu Fu was too lazy to pay attention to him, thinking that boys of this age were just at the age of being naughty and rebellious, and the more he paid attention to him, the more trouble he would make.
Gu Fu had a burst of inspiration last night, and he hid in the space to paint until the early morning. He was really sleepy at this time, so he pulled the thin blanket next to the rocking chair to cover himself, and fell asleep in a short while.
Along with the family letter, there was also news that the emperor was blessed by the gods, recovered from his illness overnight, regained his health, and gained many opportunities.
As soon as this news arrived, it was immediately spread throughout Zeshun County by people with ulterior motives.
There were even teahouses and theaters that processed and compiled this story, adding some other rumors about the emperor to compose it into an imperial legend, which was performed by storytellers or famous actors.
During dinner, Gu Dajiang told his family the news he heard while socializing outside today.
After several days of social engagements and the fact that Gu Dajiang had drunk some wine at noon, he was still a little tipsy.
Gu Dajiang was the first to put down his chopsticks. His eyes revealed deep awe and emotion. He said slowly: "You may not know yet, but there really are gods in our country. One more person is blessed by heaven, and our emperor has recovered without any medicine. This is no ordinary thing! This is the favor of heaven to our Daxia, and the mercy of heaven to our people." Gu Dajiang raised his chin slightly, as if he was proud of being born in Daxia.
Upon hearing this, Miao's eyes widened and she said in shock, "Really!" Then she said happily, "If it's true, it would be a great joy. The emperor's well-being is related to the stability of the country. With God's blessing, let's see if the rebel army dares to be so arrogant." As Miao spoke, she thought of Daguzhuang and Weng County again.
"How could it be fake? We have an appointment to go to the opera today, and the news has been compiled into a play segment. It has spread all over the streets. I heard that the government has also posted a notice, and there are also the pulse records of His Majesty before and after his recovery. It is definitely not fake." Gu Dajiang said.
"That's great! That's great!" Miao clasped her hands together and thanked all the gods and Buddhas in the sky.
At the same time, he was curious in his heart, wondering whether the emperor was more blessed or his own son Fu'er was more blessed.
Before Miao could come up with a conclusion, the smart butler from the store in front came in and reported: "Master and Madam, someone is coming from the palace."
"Please come in quickly." Gu Dajiang said hurriedly.
Soon, the smart butler brought someone in. The person was the prince's attendant and also the butler in the prince's courtyard.
When the housekeeper came in, he smiled and humbly bowed to Gu Dajiang and the others. "Mr. Gu, Madam Gu, and the two young masters and young ladies, you are polite."
"I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it. Please stand up quickly. You are the steward of the palace. How dare we, a common people, accept your gift?" Gu Dajiang hurriedly stopped him.
The housekeeper thought to himself, the emperor's grandson is acting against you and calls you the second uncle, so how can you not bear it?
Thinking in his heart, he said without showing it on his face: "Master Gu is too modest. You are our prince's distinguished guest, how can you be neglected? Today, I am here on the order of our prince to send a letter to Master Gu, inviting you to come to our house tomorrow for a chat."
As he spoke, he handed the post over with both hands. At Gu Dajiang's instruction, the smart butler took the post with both hands and showed it to Gu Dajiang.
Gu Dajiang took the invitation and opened it. On it was written in gold powder: "Sincerely invite Gu Dajiang to have a chat at the palace tomorrow at noon", and the signature was Prince Li.
"Excuse me, is Master Yuanhui also in the palace?" Gu Dajiang asked.
"Master Huiguai, Master Yuanhui is at home." The butler nodded.
"Okay, I understand. Please tell His Majesty that I will be there on time tomorrow."
"Yes." said the butler, and after a few more pleasantries he left.
After the housekeeper left, Gu Dajiang and Miao looked at each other and said, "Tomorrow we should talk about introducing the Lord of Peach Blossom Mountain. Then I will have someone bring the Buddhist scriptures directly." Gu Dajiang asked his family for their opinions.
"Okay, it's better to explain it as soon as possible, so that Master Yuanhui won't have to worry about it all the time." Miao said.
"Uncle, they have put the Buddhist scriptures in the second room on the first floor. Brother Jing, your telescope is in the third room next door." Gu Fu said to his family.
"it is good!"
"it is good!"
They both responded in unison.
"Should we also prepare some gifts for King Li?" asked Miao.
"I do want to send some, but King Li is used to seeing good things. We can buy food if we have money, so it's not a rare thing. Why don't I get up early tomorrow and go to the market to have a look before making my choice." Gu Dajiang said.
"Second uncle, there's no need to be so troublesome. This time they sent scriptures and also brought a few sets of military books. Why not send the military books? King Li will definitely like them. Right, Brother Jing?" After saying that, Gu Fu turned his gaze to Song Renjing and asked.
"King Li was crowned king for his military merits. He has read a lot of military books and has collected many of them. I can take a look at what specific military books they are and help you screen them." Song Renjing said.
"Okay, then I'll ask Zhibao and Zhixing to get it." Gu Fu said.
When Zhibao and Zhixing just walked to the door of the second room on the first floor, two book boxes suddenly appeared in their hands. The two did not react at all, but just walked back with the books in their hands.
When they came into the house, Zhibao said, "Miss, I got the book."
"Okay, let's show it to Brother Jing." Gu Fu said.
The two men followed his instructions, placed the book box in front of Song Renjing, and then left.
Song Renjing opened the bookcases and saw four or five books in each: The Art of War by Sun Tzu, The Art of War by Sun Bin, Taibai Yinjing, Huqianjing, and The Real Record of Military Training...
Except for the first one which was in the Royal Library, he had never read the others and had never even heard of their names.
I quickly flipped through a few paragraphs and found the viewpoints very clever, giving me a sense of enlightenment.
I couldn't help but ask, "Are all these going to be given to King Li?"
"Well, let's send them all. Otherwise, it will be too little compared to the ten boxes of scriptures." Gu Fu said.
"Let alone other things, just the copy of The Art of War is said to be only in the Royal Library. That copy alone is precious enough," said Song Renjing.
Seeing Song Renjing's obvious reluctance, Gu Fu smiled and whispered, "These books are all in the library in the valley. You can read them when you go back."
"Really? That's great. It makes me want to go back to the valley right now." Song Renjing said.
"It should be soon." said Gu Fu.
The family discussed and decided on the gift for King Li, then they washed up and went to bed without saying anything more.
The next day, Gu Dajiang turned down all social engagements.
After lunch, she cleaned up and took the gifts prepared for the prince.
He called on the intelligent robot, drove a carriage carrying more than a dozen boxes of scriptures, and headed towards Prince Li's Mansion.
The gatekeepers at Prince Li's mansion were all shocked when they saw several carriages following Gu Dajiang.
This was the first time in this era that someone had so blatantly given a gift to their own prince. The servant who had the foresight had already run in to report to his master.
