Chapter 141 Don't toss you to death, count me as losing!
"Madam, Mrs. Fang said, the second girl came to greet the old man in the afternoon. The grandfather and grandson didn't know what they said, and then the old man ran out."
Shaoyao reported the news he had heard from Mrs. Fang to his wife Zhang.
The eldest wife Zhang paused, then looked back at Peony, "This matter is serious."
"The slave and maid asked someone to ask. The second girl did come to the outer courtyard in the afternoon."
The eldest wife Zhang looked back at the gate of the courtyard where the old man lived, and said, "I know about this."
Shaoyao asked again, "Does this matter need to be investigated? It's not every year or every season, how strange that the second girl suddenly came to greet the old man."
The eldest wife Zhang sternly said: "There is no need to investigate. Don't spread this matter."
Shaoyao nodded in response, "Listen to the maidservant. The maidservant will beat her as well."
"Remember to tell her to shut up. If you let me know that she is talking nonsense and corrupting the reputation of the girl's house, I can't spare him."
"The servant girl remembered."
The eldest wife, Zhang, did not want to delve into why Gu Jiu went to see Mr. Gu, nor did he want to delve into whether Mr. Gu suddenly ran out and whether it had something to do with Gu Jiu.
She was indeed somewhat good about this matter, and she also made a lot of guesses.
But Zhang knows that it is better not to know some things.
When Gu Jiu sees Mr. Gu, there is always her reason.
...
Early the next morning, Gu Jiu went to Furongyuan to ask for peace.
When leaving the house, Qingmei murmured a few words, "Girl, when can the master come back?"
Gu Jiu said solemnly: "Wait, maybe it's just these two days."
New Year's Eve is only a few days away, and Liu Zhao asked her to attend the palace banquet, so Master Gu must be released before the court holiday. It will not exceed the twenty-eighth of the twelfth lunar month at the latest.
After the twenty-eighth lunar month, there is no way to talk about the palace banquet.
When arrived at Furongyuan, met Gu Yue.
Gu Yue's eyes are red and swollen, and don't know how many times he cried in the past two days.
Gu Jiu wanted to ask Gu Yue very much, whether she was crying for the safety of Master Gu, or crying for the attitude of the Hexibo Mansion, and crying for her own marriage.
"Sister, how are you?"
Gu Yue was languid, pale and weak.
She was rare and polite, without attacking power, and said: "Thank you for your second sister's concern, I'm okay. Second sister's complexion looks good, I really envy the second sister who can eat and sleep soundly."
Gu Jiu smiled, "Because I firmly believe that my father will come back safely and everything will be fine. Third sister, don't you think my father can't come back?"
Gu Yue retorted with little strength: "Don't talk nonsense. I hope my father can return safely sooner than anyone else."
This is true, Master Gu cannot come back, and the marriage between Gu Yue and Zhao Erlang might not be possible.
As long as Gu Yue didn't get married to Haixi Bofu in one day, there would still be variables in her marriage.
"Second sister, third sister, you always come so early. It's cold outside, let's go in."
Gu Zhen came, also did not rest well, her complexion was dull, and her appearance plummeted.
Gu Jiu nodded, "Big sister said that. Big sister should also take care of her body."
Gu Zhen gave a wry smile, Yaoyao said nothing, and walked into Furongyuan first.
Everyone entered the main room one by one, Gu Shan and Gu Lin both arrived, and they both sat silently on their chairs.
The maids helped Xie out.
Gu Jiu stared at Xie's and took a closer look.
In a few days, Xie's whole figure seemed to be seven or eight years old, not only his face was haggard, but his complexion was dark yellow and his lips were chapped. The cheeks are also thin and sunken.
Gu Jiu takes the lead and greets Xie's.
Xie waved his hand, "Sit down."
Gu Yue opened her mouth and asked a question that she had always wanted to ask but dared not ask.
"Mother, have you sent someone to your uncle's house? My father was sent to prison. Is it related to your uncle?"
Xie's eyes pierced Gu Yue's face like a knife.
Gu Yue shivered.
Xie's face was stern, and he said loudly, "Master's business, it has nothing to do with the Xie family and your uncle."
"But……"
"No but. Whoever dares to talk nonsense in the future, I can't spare her."
At this moment, Gu Yue didn't dare to ask any more.
Maid Dongmei came in to report, "Madam, you masters are here."
"Let them in."
Headed by Gu Jun, the kid from the second room filed into the main room.
"Greetings to wife (mother)."
Xie clan gasped and said, "All sit down. Liu Lang, is there any new news from the Hou Mansion? What did Old Master Hou say?"
"Lao Hou Ye is trying to rescue his father."
Xie lowered his head, unable to conceal his disappointment, "Are you still going to the prison to visit your father today?"
"The son will go with the third brother in a while. Mother, please rest assured that the father did not suffer in the imprisonment, and the people of Jinwuwei did not embarrass the father."
Xie nodded, "That's fine. It's just when your father can come out."
"everything will get better."
Xie hopes that everything will get better, but she really doesn't have much confidence.
She built a small Buddhist hall in Furongyuan, where she chanted sutras and prayed for blessings every day, but there was no good news at all.
Xie was almost desperate.
But she can hold it, she still has a daughter and a son. She can't go down.
Xie didn't want to speak, so he went to the small Buddha hall to recite sutras.
Everyone also broke up.
Gu Jiu took the initiative to speak to Gu Jiu.
"Second sister, the Hou Mansion is not going well. The uncle found a lot of relationships and can only guarantee that his father will not suffer in the imprisonment, but he is unable to go to the palace to intercede."
Gu Jiu nodded, she knew all these things. Gu Mansion seems to be a family with profound heritage. However, as Mr. Gu was scolded by the emperor and ordered to think about it, Gu's mansion was in the palace, almost speechless. Some familiar contacts in the past have also been cut off.
Nowadays, holding the Buddha's feet temporarily does not work.
Gu Teng sighed, "In the past few years, the uncle only cared about the military-Chinese relationship. The relationship in the palace was broken. Now I can't even find someone to help."
Gu Jiu said: "I don't blame the uncle for this matter. Even the Hou Mansion has no connections left in the palace, let alone the uncle. Even if the uncle wants to experience the relationship in the palace, he is still powerless."
As the emperor gets old day by day, many new people enter the palace, and many old people also pass away.
The relationship between Gu's house in the palace is all the old connections. It's normal for people to lose contact when they die.
Gu Yu nodded, "I know all of this. I heard a news and I want to discuss it with my second sister."
"Sixth brother, please speak."
Gu Ting glanced around, and the two came to a quiet place to talk.
Gu Yu said: "The Queen Mother seems to have offered the conditions that make Lao Hou Ye a dilemma, so she is willing to let her father go. I can see that Lao Hou Ye will not agree to the Queen Mother’s terms. The second sister, the father is in danger. ."
Gu Jiu raised his eyebrows, "Do you know what conditions the Queen Mother saw?"
Gu Teng tried to say, "It may be related to the East Palace."
Gu Jiu pursed his lips, "If it was related to the East Palace, Lord Hou would naturally not agree.
For example, if the Queen Empress asks the Hou Mansion to openly support the East Palace, how can the Hou Mansion agree to such a condition?
The safety of the entire Hou Mansion is more important than the safety of his father. In order to preserve the Hou Mansion, to preserve the Gu clan, sacrificing his father alone is nothing.
Not to mention the clan elders, maybe even the uncle would agree to sacrifice his father to save Gu's house. "
"Then what to do?" Gu Teng looked anxious, "Are you going to look at your father's head in a different place?"
Gu Jiu shook his head, "There is no way to the sky. There is no way for the empress to agree, it doesn't mean you have to give up. Maybe there is another way."
"What way?" Gu Jiu felt that there was something hidden in Gu Jiu.
Gu Jiu looked at Gu Yu and said, "Sixth brother, why not wait patiently. If you are going to visit your father today, it is better to ask your father why he returned to Beijing to work in the first place.
Given the current situation in Beijing, it stands to reason that staying in the northwest is the best policy. Staying in the northwest will be able to stay away from the right and wrong of the capital. Although promotion is hopeless, it can also keep the whole family safe.
I have always wondered if something happened in the middle, and my father had to return to Beijing to take up a post. Moreover, he was still in charge of the official position of Jingcheng Fu Yin. "
"Second sister is suspecting that her father returned to Beijing to take up the post of Yin in the capital city?"
Gu Jiu nodded, "Don't you doubt Sixth Brother?"
Gu Yu frowned and thought for a while, "I may have guessed a little reason."
Gu Jiu raised his eyebrows, "Brother Six guessed what, can you tell me?"
Gu Teng gritted his teeth and said, "Maybe it has something to do with the uncle."
no surprise!
Gu Jiu smiled suddenly, "It's no wonder that my father and Master Xie have an attitude of life and death enemies. Master Xie's taking his father back to the capital to take up the post of Yin in the capital city is indeed very unkind. It can even be guessed that Master Xie was from the beginning. Contains evil intentions."
Gu Teng was unwilling to speculate on Xie Mao maliciously. After all, Xie Mao was his uncle.
However, there are signs that things are likely to be what Gu Jiu said. Xie Mao was not at ease from the beginning, and dug a big hole for Master Gu from the beginning.
But Master Gu couldn't avoid it, knowing it was a big hole, so he could only jump inside.
The official documents of the staff are all down, what can Master Gu do? can only hold nose obediently, and take family to Beijing to take office. As a result, he was sent to imprisonment within a month of taking office.
It created the fastest rate for officials to be imprisoned when they took up their new posts. Maybe a hundred years later, there will be a record in history books.
Master Gu can also be regarded as a famous name in history, although his reputation is not very good.
Gu Yan said, "I will ask my father about this in person."
Gu Jiu reminded him, "Six brothers have thought about it. After asking the truth, what do you want to do? From then on, draw a clear line with the Xie family? In the future, if you encounter it in officialdom, you will just trample it to death?"
Gu Yu pursed his lips, his eyebrows were sad, "I will consider this matter. In short, my last name is Gu, not Xie. My position has never changed. Please rest assured that my second sister."
Gu Jiu refused to let him relax, "If your wife insists on contacting Xie's family, what are you going to do?"
"me……"
Gu Teng's mouth was dumbfounded.
Gu Jiu didn't push him too much, "Brother Six, go ahead, it's not too late to think about these things in the future. Also, since Brother Six is going to be an official, should he care more about things from now on? Reading alone is not enough."
"What does the second sister mean?"
Gu Jiu smiled, "If Brother Six has time, you might as well do something for your father. It's good to just go to the yamen to sort out the official documents and observe other people's work."
Gu Teng was surprised. He didn't say much, but solemnly thanked him, "Thanks to the second sister for reminding me, I will consider it. Second sister pay attention to your body, don't blow the wind for too long outside, I will leave first."
"Brother Six, go ahead."
When Gu Yu left, Qingmei asked suspiciously: "Why does the girl remind Young Master Six to go to the Yamen to practice? Young Master Six is the wife's precious son."
According to ordinary people's thinking, since Gu Xie is the son of the Xie family, he hates the house and Wu, and Gu Jiu should also hate Gu Teng even with him. Hope that Gu Teng has no promise.
Then Gu Jiu didn't think so.
She said: "The wife is a wife, and the sixth brother is the sixth brother. The sixth brother's surname is Gu, the same surname as me. The wife is worried about the Xie family, but the sixth brother has no Xie family in her heart.
And the third brother is determined to join the army, but he doesn't know his future.
Our second room cannot be without a man standing upright. The third brother wants to stand up, but I don't know how many years it will take.
Moreover, the third brother's participation in the army also needs help from the court. In the future, the third elder brother can only count on the sixth elder brother when his father pays an official post. We can thrive in our second house only if we have one culture and one military.
Starting from the overall situation, it is a wise choice to support Liu Ge to stand up. "
"But if the Sixth Young Master is promising, his wife should be making trouble again. I don't know what it will be like by then."
Gu Jiu smiled softly, "My wife can't control the sixth brother now, and can't be the master of the sixth brother. When the sixth brother becomes official in the future, do you think what the wife said will still work?
Even if my wife is going to be a demon by then, I have already been married by then, and she can't help me.
In addition to the father, there must be someone in the house who can control his wife. Gu Yue can't, Gu Shan can't, and Gu Gong can't.
At present, it seems that only Gu Teng can restrain his wife and make her feel jealous.
We can't control the wife's demon, but she is always the second room wife, it is impossible not to recognize her identity.
When she is a demon, someone has to come forward to take care of her. It's like having a big uncle in charge of the old man. The wife must have such a person in charge of her. This person is the sixth brother. But if the sixth brother has a difficult career and has no future prospects, where does he come from to live with his wife?
At that time, I am afraid that Gu Gong will ride on the head of the sixth brother to run wild, and indulge his wife's nonsense by the way. "
When Gu Jiu said so, several maids understood.
Qingmei said: "It's still a girl who thinks thoroughly. Few people in this world can be as generous as a girl, can put aside their prejudices, and have a sincere relationship with Six Young Masters."
Gu Jiu laughed. She squeezed Qingmei’s cheek, “Don’t forget, your girl is me, but I’m a big deal. How can I care about trivial things every day. With that time, this girl might as well do more practical things. , Let our days pass more prosperously."
Xiao Cui clapped her hands and laughed, "The girl is right, she will be pissed off if she cares about some trivial matters with his wife every day."
Qingmei sighed and said, "I should let the three girls listen to these words. I think about the marriage of the Haixi Bo Mansion all day, and I think she is almost stunned."
Gu Jiu said: "Don't worry about her, let her make trouble. Sooner or later, I will regret it."
In order for a man to die, Gu Jiu looked down on Gu Yue's point.
No matter how good a man is, can he be more important than loving himself?
Marriage matters, the words of the matchmaker ordered by the parents. Gu Jiu said that this kind of marriage is essentially a transaction, like a contract.
However, this kind of contract generally can only share happiness, not suffering.
Gu Jiu has never liked anyone in his life, and it is very likely that he will not like any man in this life.
For marriage, she is already prepared.
In the last life, even if she could live to be old, there was a high probability that she would not get married.
But in this life, she can't escape the marriage, and sooner or later she has to marry.
Gu Jiu didn't seriously think about what kind of person to marry.
After much deliberation, her marriage should be a right man.
The two got married, managed a married life, and dealt with all kinds of shit and shit.
When you think about it this way, marriage is terrible.
Gu Jiu didn't want to marry for a time, but he could delay it for a year.
But when she couldn't drag on and she had to marry, she could treat that man as a business partner and a community of interests. ,
In this way, many bad things can be seen away.
Gu Jiu pursed her lips and smiled.
In my heart, secretly praised his wit.
There is no better way to treat your future husband-in-law as a business partner.
hope that the man she meets in the future is a reasonable person.
Her request is so low, God will definitely satisfy her.
God: Ha ha!
Don't toss you to death, count me as losing!
