In the evening, the elder Gu Zhiming returned to the house and learned that during the day, Xie Mao brought someone to the door. The elder was so angry that he was holding the knife, and he was about to go out to chop Xie Mao.

The eldest wife Zhang finally persuaded people to come down.

"This is a contradiction between the second brother and his eldest brother-in-law, so don't confuse it."

The elder Gu Zhiming widened his eyes and looked particularly fierce, "How is this called misconduct. Xie Mao deceived people so much that he even dared to bring someone to the door. Who gave him the courage?

When I was away in the afternoon, he escaped. If I were in the mansion, he dared to hit the door, and I would just kill him without saying a word. "

The eldest wife, Zhang's mouth, looked disgusted.

The old man was very dissatisfied, "Do you look down on me?"

Zhang secretly rolled his eyes, "It's all the imperial order officers, who can kill who? You think you are a general who leads the army outside, and you will not be killed by the foreign ruler. If you say that you will chop whoever, you only need to go to the other side. Is it enough to seal the petition?

This is the capital city, at the feet of the emperor, who dares to kill officials without purpose? Do you want to eat Jinwuwei's prison meal?

Let me tell you that the second brother and Xie Mao's affairs can only be solved by official means.

You are a military commander, and you can't play with those civilian officials. You have to respect your second brother's opinion on this matter, and don't make trouble. "

The old man was so angry that he smashed the teacup, "Could it be that Xie Mao was arrogant, but he couldn't fight back?"

Zhang Shiping said calmly: "A counterattack must also be counterattacked in officialdom. Xie Mao can bring someone to the door, but we can't do that.

The people in the hall are watching, the second brother will be a big fan, and at this time, he must not make mistakes and be caught by others.

Don't forget, the empress is still lying in the palace, do you really think the East Palace line is a bully? "

Zhang is obviously calmer and more sensible than the old master, and he sees more thoroughly.

The Zhang family has been a military commander for generations and has lived in the capital for generations. Zhang has been fascinated since he was a child, and he has a relatively clear view of the affairs of the court.

Although she can't provide very good advice, she knows what can be done and what can't be done. Understand the principle of being wise and protecting oneself.

The old man frowned and gave a cold snort, extremely unhappy.

As a military commander, he can't slash his opponents happily, which is really aggrieved.

He said to the Zhang family: "You are a woman and I am too lazy to tell you. I will go to see my second brother. I can't just leave it like that."

The old man went out angrily.

Zhang watched the old man leave with a look of disgust, already foreseen that the old man would run into a wall with Mr. Gu.

The old man walked across the corridor and walked towards the study.

But didn't expect to meet Mr. Gu.

Grandpa Gu suddenly jumped out, and the Grandpa was taken aback.

"Why did my father come out?"

Old man Gu looked upset, so he vomited first when he saw the old man.

The elder was sick and broke, but he couldn't fight back, he felt aggrieved.

"The old man gave birth to your two useless sons, and my face was lost to you. Useless things."

Old man Gu pointed at the old man and cursed.

The eldest blushed, who on earth is useless.

"Father doesn't understand the inside story, so don't talk nonsense."

"There is something that the old man doesn't know. After giving birth to the two of you, what did the old man do in his last life!"

Old man Gu cried and grabbed the ground, and when he sat directly on the ground, he started to make trouble.

Master Gu heard the movement and walked out of the study.

When Mr. Gu saw Master Gu, he jumped up and grabbed Mr. Gu's wrist, "Second, why are you useless. Go, go to Xie's house with the old man, and take Xie Mao out for a beat."

Master Gu looked impatient, "Father, can you stop making trouble? Son has his own opinion on this matter, so you don't need to worry about it."

"What proposition? What do you think you have? Xie Mao calls the door, and you should beat it back with an ear scraper and teach him the principles of life."

Mr. Xie was reluctant and insisted on taking Master Gu to Xie's house to find a place.

Master Gu asked the elder for help, "Brother, you can control the elder."

The old man frowned, winking at the next person first. A few small servants rushed up and skillfully lifted Old Man Gu.

Father Gu cursed, "Unfilial offspring, no fart to give birth to a son*, two counselors, let the old man down. Dare not to listen to the old man, next time the old man will kill you."

Father Gu's voice faded away, and a farce finally ended.

Master Gu sighed, "Big Brother, you have a way."

The elder Gu Zhiming snorted, "I asked you to train a few useful young men. Next time the old man is still making trouble, follow my method and directly carry him down and lock him in the yard."

Master Gu smiled helplessly, "You have seen it too. Recently, my brother has been so busy that I have neglected my father's affairs."

The old man stared at him, "What's the matter with Xie Mao? He has hit the door, so you let him get out of his body?

In my opinion, the old man said those words correctly. You should directly give Xie Mao an ear scraper and teach him how to behave.

Relying on the identity of the eldest brother-in-law, it is simply lawless, and he did not take our family members into consideration. In that case, why should you be polite to him. "

Master Gu had a very serious face, "Brother, this matter is not as simple as you think."

The elder snorted, his eyes scornful, "It's Donggong, you're afraid of him ass. Anyway, our Gu family and Donggong can't urinate in a pot, and the empress is about to die. She tore her face and fucked his mother. Xie Mao There is the East Palace behind, but don’t forget, behind you is the whole honorable generals. Don’t believe in the honorable generals to unite, do you not turn over an East Palace.”

Master Gu frowned, "Brother, can you stop making trouble? If things are really so simple, how many princes can wait until today? I'm afraid they have done it a few years ago.

In short, there is no time yet, and we have to be patient at this time. If you can't bear it, you will make big plans. Don't take a wrong step at this time. "

The old man looked impatient, "I just don't like yours. I have to take everything slowly. It's been so many years, it's still like a bird.

Forget it, I can't help you with the things in your yamen. But if you need me, just speak up. The two of us brothers, don't see each other like that. "

"Brother don't worry, I will definitely not see you outside."

The old man patted Master Gu on the shoulder, "Remember, this time you must teach Xie Mao a lesson. If you don't die, you have to take off his skin."

Master Gu solemnly nodded his head, "I just meant it."

The old man laughed, "So I can rest assured."

In the evening, Xie's woke up.

She asked someone to invite Master Gu to Furongyuan.

"Master, my eldest brother..."

"This matter needs to be mentioned again." Master Gu interrupted her without waiting for Xie to finish.

Xie's face was slumped, and his heart was too panic.

She opened her mouth, facing Master Gu's serious face, she couldn't say anything.

At last there was only a sigh.

The husband and wife were silent for a long time before the Xie family spoke again, "Luhou's Mansion invited a matchmaker to come and talk to him. Mrs. Luhou took a fancy to the second girl and wanted to marry the second girl. Please give me an idea about this matter. It’s good to reply to Mrs. Luhou as soon as possible."

Master Gu frowned suddenly.

Xie's surprised.

She thought Master Gu would definitely agree to a good relationship like Luhou Mansion.

Xie asked cautiously: "Master, is this marriage inappropriate? The second girl is weak and can't be the grandma of the house. It is also suitable for her to marry the youngest son of Luhou Mansion."

Master Gu said blankly, "Don't worry about this marriage. Wait and see first."

Mr. Gu has doubts in his mind.

Luhou Peiren has a high position, a big tree, and an unstable position.

To be in-laws with Luhou Mansion, a sudden glance, seemed to be quite good.

However, if you think about it carefully, there is a high risk.

Master Gu remembered that Luhou Mansion wanted to marry the neighboring Mansion, but the Marquis Mansion rejected it.

Master Gu pondered for a while, but he still thought that he would wait for a while and talk about it after the situation became clear.

He said to Xie's: "The second girl's marriage is not in a hurry. If Luhou Mansion asks, you first think of an excuse to drag it."

"The concubine listens to the master."

While Xie's surprised, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Good to drag!

She was not happy to see Gu Jiu marrying to Luhou Mansion.

Gu Jiu, a sick seed, has any qualifications to marry a high school.

...

The twenty-third of the twelfth lunar month, a small year.

Gu's lanterns and festoons are all preparing for the New Year.

People are busier than usual, but everyone is very motivated.

After the New Year, you can get a large reward. Wouldn't it be fun when everyone gathers together for a drink and money.

On this day, Gu Jiu opened his first property in Beijing.

Located in Shili Hutong in the south of the city, the people living here are all civilians in the capital.

In the middle of the hutong, the shop that was originally opened by the ready-to-wear shop was reopened for business on this day.

People passing by looked inside curiously, what does this shop sell? Jumeizhai? Can't figure out what the name is.

When Er Zhuang placed the goods at the door, everyone suddenly realized that it turned out to be a shop selling beaded ornaments.

Do need to rent a shop to sell this kind of stuff?

This boss doesn't know how to do business, so he must close the door after he can't open it for a month.

Everyone shook their heads and left, and they didn't seem to see Jumeizhai's business.

Erzhuang saw that the onlookers were gone, a little confused.

Fortunately, from the northwest to the capital, running outside every day, Er Zhuang can be considered as an experience.

He arranged the goods, the most beautiful ones on the outside, so that the big girls and little wives passing by could see the beautiful beads on the door with just a glance.

He remembered Gu Jiu's advice that if you are a small business, you should try the water, even if the business is not good, don't panic. They can afford it anyway.

The shop assistants of other shops all stood at the door and looked around, pointing and pointing.

Er Zhuang's expression was calm, without any fear.

"Second Zhuang, has the business started?"

Gu Yu brought the yamen's servants over to give Erzhuang's business momentum, but also to deter surrounding businesses.

Remind all major businesses that the newly opened Jumeizhai has a backing.

If you dare to make trouble in Jumeizhai, you must be prepared to pay the corresponding price.

Er Zhuang grinned, "Gu Si Young Master, why are you here today."

"I don't worry, come and have a look. It hasn't opened yet?"

Er Zhuang smiled and said: "At the beginning, take your time, don't worry."

Gu Yu laughed, "Yes, don't worry about small business. Just treat it as earning some pocket money for the second sister. Er Zhuang, these yamen, are responsible for the security of the Shili Hutong area. This is Zhang Tou. Who is this……"

Gu Yu introduces Er Zhuang several local snake servants.

Er Zhuang quickly took out the red envelopes prepared in advance and delivered them one by one.

The few government officials had benefited, and they all laughed.

"You are the second strongest? Don't worry, who dares to trouble you in this area, you find me, and I will help you."

"Thank you Zhang Tou. Have a drink together in the evening."

"Haha, okay! Drinking at Juxianlou at night, so?"

Er Zhuang nodded again and again, "Make, make."

Juxianlou is a relatively high-end restaurant in the south of the city. It takes a few taels of silver to eat a meal.

Er Zhuang felt sorry for the silver, but he also knew that this meal must be drunk.

As the saying goes, Hades is good to see, and the little devil is difficult to deal with.

Don't think that with Master Gu as your backer, everything will be fine.

Those who are in charge are all the people below. If you don't manage the people below, it won't be enough to take care of the adults.

Gu Yu said, "Er Zhuang, you are busy with business, so we will leave first."

"Thank you Young Master Gu, thank you Zhang Tou..."

Er Zhuang watched everyone leave and heaved a sigh of relief.

The shop folks who stood at the door watching the excitement before, this meeting all enthusiastically joined in.

Jumeizhai has a backing in Yamen, so you have to make friends.

"Brother Erzhuang, you sell bead flowers! How do you sell this? I will buy one for my sister."

"I'll have a couple too. New Year's Eve is coming soon, one for my daughter-in-law and one for each daughter."

...

Er Zhuang didn't expect that Gu Yu took the yaman for a trip, and even brought him business.

Jumeizhai finally opened.

The shopkeepers bought it, and the eldest girl and the little wives also got together.

At the beginning, everyone was not optimistic about the business, but after the opening, the business never stopped.

The second Zhuang was alone, almost unable to cope.

On this day, the big girls and little wives in Shili Hutong were all talking about Jumeizhai's beads and ornaments.

Good-looking, not expensive, and many styles.

It's much more attractive than the bead flowers sold at Xuji Store in Hutongkou.

Xu Ji Shop is an old local jewelry store, but the beaded jewelry they sell looks outdated and unsightly when compared with Jumeizhai's.

"Oh, what do you wear on this head? It's so pretty, where did it come from?"

The eldest girl smiled shyly, "Bought it from Jumeizhai."

"What? What? What fast?"

"Jumeizhai, a newly opened shop specializing in beaded ornaments, is very beautiful."

"Well, it's pretty, it's expensive."

"Not expensive. My bead flower only needs twenty-five sentences."

"Twenty-five articles are not expensive?"

While the women disliked the high price, they thought secretly, Minger also went to buy a bead flower to wear on her head.

Dialogues like this spread around Shili Hutong and spread slowly.

It won’t be long before the entire city south will know that there is a shop in Shili Hutong that specializes in bead flower jewelry, called Jumeizhai.

That shop sells good-looking, inexpensive items and new styles.

On this day, Er Zhuang had a fruitful harvest. He thought about the assembly line operation planned by Gu Jiu, maybe it could be advanced.

But even if you want to advance, you have to wait for the New Year.

After the Chinese New Year, after returning to the capital, I will find a few people to start the assembly line production.

He remembered again that Gu Jiu wanted him to recruit talents.

Er Zhuang already had several goals in his heart.

After arriving in the capital, he wandered around the capital all day, inquiring about the news, and actually met some people.

However, whether these people are suitable or not, you have to wait for Gu Jiu to make a decision with his own eyes.

Busy, the day passed.

As the sky darkened, a lantern was lit up at the gate of Gu's residence.

Butler Gu Quan personally went to the concierge and asked twice, "Has the second master come back?"

The porter shook his head, "I didn't see the second master coming back."

Gu Quan frowned, at this time, the second master hasn't come back yet. Could it be that it was delayed by things in the yamen.

Senior high school Fu came to ask. "My wife asked me to come over and ask, when will the master come back? Today is the new year, and the wife bought a banquet and waited for the master."

The butler Gu Quan frowned, "I'll go to the Yamen to have a look."

Senior Sanfu's heart jumped, "Gu Steward, Master will not have any accidents, right."

"You crow's mouth, the one who celebrates the New Year, don't you know something nice?"

Senior Sanfu raised his hand and slapped himself on the mouth twice, "Look at my stinky mouth, butler don't mind."

Gu Quan gave a hum, and rushed to the Yamen with someone.

In Furong Yard, the people in the second room gathered together, and they could start a table just waiting for Master Gu to come back.

The sky was completely dark, and Master Gu hadn't returned yet.

Xie had sent someone to the concierge to ask several times, but there was no news.

She was a little worried.

Sixth Young Master Gu Teng said: "At the end of the year, Yamen is busy with official duties. My father may not be back until midnight."

Xie frowned and said, "Today is the New Year's Eve. When the master went out in the morning, I reminded him to come back early. It's all this time. I haven't seen anyone, so nothing will happen."

Gu Jue yelled: "Don't worry, ma'am. Father is safe and well. There will be nothing wrong."

Xie said nothing.

Gu Jiu frowned. She called Xiaocui and said softly, "Go to the Jiaomen and take a look. If the Jiaomen of the Hou Mansion is still open, you can ask the people in the Hou Mansion if you know the news of the master."

Xiao Cui answered and left quietly.
