Gu Jiu came to the outer courtyard study.

"The daughter greets the father. The father returned safely, and the daughter was very happy in her heart."

"Sit down and talk."

Gu Jiu leaned forward and sat on a chair.

Master Gu gave Gu Jiu a lot and asked, "Have you taken any medicine recently? How is your body? Is the climate in Beijing still adaptable?"

Gu Jiu owed him a debt and said, "Thank you for your father's concern. My daughter is still taking medicine and her health is much better. The capital is not cold in the northwest. My daughter can adapt to the weather here."

"That's good. Just say what you lack, don't hold your mind. You used to be in poor health because you thought too much."

Gu Jiu bowed, "Daughter remembers his father's teachings."

Master Gu hummed, "For my father, I heard that you went to please the old man a few days ago?"

Gu Jiu was stunned, but he didn't expect this incident to reach Master Gu's ears.

She nodded calmly, "Yes, the daughter greeted the old man a few days ago."

Master Gu stared at Gu Jiu, as if he wanted to see what she was thinking from Gu Jiu's expression.

"How did you think of greeting the old man?"

Gu Jiu pursed her lips, and said, "There is no special reason, but I suddenly remembered that I would like to greet the old man and say greetings. The New Year is about to come, and my daughter, as a junior, should do this."

Master Gu nodded, "Yes, it's almost the New Year. I heard that you and the old man talked for half an hour, what did you talk about? Can you talk to the father?"

Gu Jiu pondered what Master Gu said.

Did Master Gu simply ask, or did he guess something?

Gu Jiu said: "The old man was drunk, not sober, and didn't recognize his daughter at first. Then I asked the maid to make tea and persuaded the old man to drink it, and the old man woke up.

Although the daughter stayed in the room for half an hour, in fact, the time for real talking was very limited. Most of the time, the old man is drunk. "

"Really? After you left, the old man ran out of the mansion. Does this matter have anything to do with you?"

Gu Jiu shook his head and looked at Master Gu with an innocent look: "My daughter is also confused. I don't understand why it is so cold outside in winter, why the old man has to run out."

Master Gu stared at Gu Jiu with sharp eyes, "You really don't know?"

Gu Jiu nodded, "My daughter really doesn't know."

Master Gu frowned.

Master Ma stepped forward and said, "Second girl, the adults went to the Hou Mansion to greet you early this morning. According to the old Hou Ye, it is not the Hou Man's credit that the adults can be released safely from prison.

This matter is not only confusing for adults, I also have many questions. Who on earth helped the master to get out of prison safely, and why did he not keep his name when he did good deeds? What is the opinion of the second girl on this matter? "

Gu Jiu looked blank, "I always thought it was the Hou Mansion who helped rescue his father. Isn't it?"

"It is indeed not the result of the Hou Mansion. My lord and I made a bold guess. This person who helped the lord came from either the palace or the officials who could speak in front of your majesty. The latter category has been rejected. Only. The first possibility remains. Second girl, try to guess, who in the palace is most likely to take the initiative to help the adults?"

Gu Jiu shook his head, "I can't guess. Could it be the empress?"

Master Ma shook his head and said affirmatively: "It's not the queen empress."

Gu Jiu tried to guess, "Will it be the people around your Majesty? They should be more effective than ordinary officials. Especially in the case of the father, saying that it is serious and very serious, and saying that it is not serious is actually an unnecessary charge."

Master Ma stared at Gu Jiu, "Oh, I didn't expect the second girl and I to guess the same place. However, the adults did not forge such a good relationship in the palace. This fact is puzzling."

Gu Jiu lowered his head, pretending to think hard.

She secretly left the house, met with Liu Zhao, and persuaded Mr. Gu to hand over the things, so that Liu Zhao fulfilled his promise to release Mr. Gu. Gu Jiu didn't intend to tell this series of things.

Gu Jiu has not yet figured out Master Gu's attitude towards her.

She saves adults from the self-interest and overall interests.

Master Gu is good, and their family can be well.

Master Gu is in trouble, as the daughter of the Gu family, she will definitely not end well.

As for Master Gu’s attitude towards her, is it the father-daughter affection a little bit more, or is it dominated by seeing her as useful? Maybe both.

Regardless of the reason, Gu Jiu didn't mind.

Useful value is in itself an affirmation of one's own ability.

If a person has no use value at all, it is sad.

The reason why Gu Jiu refused to tell the truth was because she was not sure to what extent Master Gu would use her after knowing the truth. Will you use her frantically?

She was also worried that Master Gu would act impulsively after knowing the truth and destroy the current situation.

can think of it, Master Gu's impression of Liu Zhao is definitely not good.

Knowing that Liu Zhao rescued him, the ghost knew what action Master Gu would take next.

For things that are out of control, Gu Jiu prefers to slow down a little bit.

The truth is not important. The important thing is that Master Gu returns safely and the official is restored to his post. Gu's mansion was beaming with joy.

As children, they can continue to enjoy their father's cuteness and live steadily.

Gu Jiu said, "I don't even think about things that Master Ma can't understand."

Master Gu said in a deep voice, "It is a good thing to have filial piety. But you are a girl, and the old man has a ridiculous life. In the future, if there is no elder to lead, you still don't go to see the old man, lest you encounter unbearable scenes."

Gu Jiu bowed and said yes, "If my daughter listens to her father, she must be cautious in her words and deeds in the future, and dare not act arbitrarily."

"After you go back, make good preparations. Follow your wife into the palace on the morning of the first day of the new year."

"Daughter obeys."

Gu Jiu got up, bid farewell to Master Gu, and left the outer courtyard study.

Master Gu asked Master Ma, "How?"

Master Ma hesitated for a moment, and thought about it: "The lower official thinks that the second girl didn't tell the truth."

Master Gu frowned, "Why do you say that?"

Master Ma said: "In the impression of the lower officials, the second girl is a very independent and thoughtful person. However, today, the second girl has been talking with the adults, and has not taken the initiative to put forward any opinions from beginning to end."

"how so?"

Master Ma said: "The officer has a bold guess, the adult will listen. Maybe the second girl knows the reason for the adult's safe release and who is behind it. But for some reason, the second girl can't say it."

Master Gu laughed first, and then his expression became extremely serious, "Your guess is really too bold. Xiao Jiu is just a little girl who hasn't gotten enough, how can she do things that even the Hou Mansion can't do? How can she, a boudoir girl, know people in the palace?"

Master Ma also thinks his guess is absurd, "What the adult said is. This matter should have nothing to do with the second girl. However, the official is still very curious about why the second girl is going to see the old man."

Master Gu frowned, "I'll ask the old man later and listen to what the old man has to say."

...

When Mr. Gu sees Mr. Gu, how will he be polite. Jumped up, pointed at Master Gu's nose and cursed, calling him an unfilial son.

"Because of you, the whole house is jumping up and down. What kind of official you are, get home early for a leisure meal. Ashamed, ashamed, ashamed. Why did the old man give birth to you as an idiot."

Master Gu's face was dark.

The steward Gu Quan hurriedly hid, not daring to listen any more. I'm afraid of being "killed" by Master Gu.

Master Gu clenched his fists, and finally managed to control the anger in his heart.

"Father, Xiao Jiu came to greet you that day, did you say anything?"

"What? Who are you talking about? Who is Xiao Jiu?"

Mr. Gu slobbed while talking, and his saliva was sprayed on Mr. Gu's face.

Master Gu closed his eyes, wiped his face, and then said as calmly as possible: "I said Eryao came over to please you two days ago. What did you say?"

Father Gu smashed the wine glass, "Any big thing, you come to ask the old man, what are you doing in your spare time? How does the old man know what she said? Little girl, scare, and cry. Humph, don't let it go anymore. When the old man sees your children, two of them are debt collectors, and none of them will come."

Master Gu frowned, "Second girl is here to greet you, it is also a filial piety anyway. Old man can't say a few nice words."

"Why, you are dissatisfied! This is the old man's house. The old man can do whatever he wants, and he can scold anyone he wants. The old man scolds you, but can't scold your girl? Are you a fool? The old man gave birth to you like this I’m an idiot, I don’t know what he did in my previous life. Go ahead and let the old man go quickly. The old man gets angry when he sees you."

Gu Daqing felt pain in his heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys, and it was really a misfortune to stand with such a father.

"Are you still going? The old man beat you to death."

Mr. Gu picked up the teapot and threw it on Mr. Gu's head.

Of course Master Gu would not stand still and be smashed obediently. He jumped away and avoided the teapot.

Immediately afterwards, Mr. Gu picked up the wine glass and threw it at Mr. Gu.

Master Gu was smashed to lose his temper and was punched out of the room abruptly.

Master Gu's fists were clenched and then loosened, loosened and clenched.

Listening to Master Gu's scolding, Master Gu made a sullen face, "Father does not need to scold, the son will leave now."

Master Gu was angrily and flicked his sleeves and left.

Snapped!

Father Gu closed the door directly, and did not forget to yell at him, "Idiot, Idiot! The whole family is an idiot."

Master Gu gritted his teeth and restrained himself.

Sometimes he really wants to be an unfilial son.

So it won't be so painful.

Old man Gu had enough scolding, and he slumped in a chair.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, he was exhausted.

The old lady opened the door and came in, "Master, slave and maidservant come to clean up the house."

Father Gu kicked the stool next to him, "Clean up, and bring the old man two bottles of wine. In addition, he ordered the kitchen to make two snacks. The old man is going to get drunk today."

The lady in the room was very straightforward and stretched out her hand, self-explanatory.

To drink, to eat, to get money.

These are additional expenses, and the public school does not bear this part of the expenses.

Old man Gu blew his beard and stared, "Ban maid, one by one sees money open."

Mrs. Fang is not afraid to take care of the old man, and said with her head raised: "This is the rule of the house, old man, you should give the money as soon as possible."

snort!

Old man Gu took a tael of silver and threw it to the wife, "Hurry up. If the old man is hungry, I will kill you."

The old lady picked up the silver, curled her lips, twisted her waist and went out.

...

There are no secrets in Gu's house.

Soon everyone knew that Master Gu went to greet him, but he was beaten out by him.

The people secretly talked about and watched the adults' jokes.

When the eldest wife Zhang heard about this, she frowned and said, "The second old man knows that the old man is acting absurd, so it's hard to find him."

The maid Shaoyao said: "The second master finally got out of prison, so I should greet the master."

"The old man is disrespectful of the old, who is it going to return? It didn't hurt the whole family. Forget it, forget it, don't talk about it."

Xie frowned when he learned that Mr. Gu was beaten out by Mr. Gu.

She was very angry and accumulated a lot of dissatisfaction with Mr. Gu.

She complained: "The master is true, why should he go to greet him with his virtue. What happened to the old man was that he was beaten out of the house and made people look at jokes.

really don't know what the old man thinks. As an official, the master was beaten out by him. If this were passed on, the master would lose face.

The old man wanted to turn the whole family on his back, and everyone was unlucky, so he was happy. "

After speaking, Xie gritted his teeth, wishing to have a theory with Mr. Gu himself.

However, Mr. Gu would definitely not give Xie's face, maybe he would have to scold Xie's blood so badly that he would lose face.

After all, when Master Gu wanted to reinforce the Xie family, Master Gu was firmly opposed to it.

From beginning to end, Mr. Gu never looked down upon Xie's daughter-in-law.

Xiaomen Xiaohu was born, he has not read a few books, and he is so small, what qualifications do he have to be the daughter-in-law of Gu's family?

But couldn't hold back Master Gu. Besides, it was just righting, not the original match. In desperation, Xie Shi was righted in the end.

Xie also knew that she was not decent in front of Mr. Gu. Therefore, she never approached the old man Gu, and only dared to complain a few words in private.

Like the eldest wife Zhang, the anger came up, and he directly attacked Mr. Gu, and asked someone to send Mr. Gu to go out, but Xie didn't dare.

Xie's lack of confidence.

The Zhang family is different, the eldest daughter-in-law, the original wife of the Ming Media is marrying.

Elder Gu angered her, so he still tidied up, never letting go.

Chunhe comforted the Xie family, "Madam, don't get angry. The old man is ridiculous, and it is not a matter of one day or two. After today's events, the old man will also learn his lesson and stay away from the old man in the future."

Xie nodded repeatedly, "It's time to stay away from the old man."

Gu Yue and Gu Shan came to visit Xie's family.

"Mother, are you getting better?"

Xie's laughed, "It's better. Shan'er, come and sit next to me."

Gu Shan hesitated for a moment, and took a peek at Gu Yue before stepping forward and sitting down next to Xie's.

Gu Yue stood still, somewhat unable to recover.

Can't believe this scene.

That position has always been hers in the past.

Only she is qualified to sit next to her mother, Gu Shan can only sit on the side and envy her.

It has only been a few days, why has everything changed.

This change caused Gu Yue to be unprepared and didn't know how to react.

Chunhe reminded Gu Yue, "Three girls, stop standing. Sit down quickly."

Gu Yue came back to her senses, her eyes were suddenly red, and she looked at Xie eagerly, "Mother, daughter, daughter..."

Xie said indifferently: "Sit down and talk, don't be pestered there."

Gu Yue's heart was sour, and tears fell all of a sudden. She wiped her tears and sat under Xie's.

Gu Shan asked softly: "Mother, what preparations should my daughter do when she is going to the palace on the first day of the new year?"

Xie's laughed, "Well, the mother of the Hou Mansion is here in a while, you can ask the mother if you have any questions."

In fact, Xie's is not quite clear.

It is also the first time for her to enter the palace to congratulate her, and how to do it depends on Zhang's face-to-face instruction.

Gu Shan nodded, "Daughter listens to her mother."

Gu Yue wiped away the tears, very unwilling.

She wanted to attract Xie's attention, so she said, "Mother, the Hexibo Mansion will also enter the palace that day."

Xie's "hmm" said.

"Then in the palace, can we..."

"No." Before Gu Yue finished speaking, Xie interrupted her decisively.

She didn't want to listen to Gu Yue's thoughts.No matter what the idea is, it is ridiculous.

Xie's face was stern, and he told Gu Yue very seriously, "Yue'er, the palace is no better than other places. When you enter the palace, your every word and deed represents the Gu family.

If you make a mistake alone, your family will be implicated, and your father's career will even be affected.

So after entering the palace, you will follow me and you are not allowed to go anywhere.In short, you must not walk around in the palace.

If I ran into a certain noble person, I would have no daughter like you."

Gu Yue gaped, her tears fell again, and she looked very pitiful.

Xie also emphasized, "I am not joking with you this time. You dare to mess around in the palace, and even if your father kills you, I will not stop you. You can do it yourself."

Gu Yue lowered her head and said pitifully, "Daughter listens to her mother and dare not mess around."

"I hope you do what you say."
