Chapter 135: Unfilial son

In the evening, the elder Gu Zhiming returned home 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 cut 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 bludgeoning. Xie Mao deceived people so much that he 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 kill him without saying anything. "
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 anyone? You think you are a general who is leading the army, and you will not be killed by the foreign ruler. If you say that you will be killed, you will only need to go ahead. 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 his 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 get caught.
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. Zhang has been fascinated since he was a child, and he can see things in the courtroom quite clearly.
Although she can't provide very good advice, she knows what can be done and what can't be done. Understand the principle of wise protection.
The old man frowned and gave a cold snort, very upset.
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 talk to 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 master leave with a look of disgust, already foreseen that the master would run into a wall with Master Gu.
The old man walked across the corridor and walked towards the study.
But I didn't expect to meet Old Man Gu.
Grandpa Gu suddenly jumped out, shocking Grandpa.
"Why did my father come out?"
Old man Gu looked upset, so he vomited first when he saw him.
The old man was sick and bad, but he couldn't fight back, and he felt aggrieved.
"The old man gave birth to your two useless sons, and my face was lost by you. Useless things."
Old man Gu pointed at the old man and cursed.
The eldest blushed, who was it?
"Father doesn't understand the inside story, so don't talk nonsense."
"There is something the old man doesn't know. After giving birth to the two of you, what did the old man do in his last life!"
Father 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 Grandpa Gu saw Master Gu, he jumped up and grabbed Master 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, you don't need to worry about it."
"What proposition? What do you think you have? Xie Mao calls the door, you should beat it back with an ear scraper and teach him the principles of life."
Mr. Xie was reluctant and insisted to take 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.
Old man Gu cursed, "Unfilial son, 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 early. Next time the old man is still making trouble, you 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 was so busy that I was negligent in matters concerning the father."
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 did not put our family members in the eyes. In that case, why should you be polite to him. "
Master Gu had an extremely serious face, "Brother, this matter is not as simple as you think."
The elder snorted, his eyes contemptuous, "Isn't it Donggong, you are afraid of his 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 his mother. Xie Mao There is the Eastern Palace behind, but don’t forget, behind you is the whole honorable military commander. If you don’t believe in the honorable military commanders, you can unite and do not turn over an Eastern Palace.
Master Gu frowned, "Brother, can you stop making trouble? If things are so simple, how many princes can wait until today? I'm afraid they have started a few years ago.
In short, the time is not yet time, 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 many years, and it's still like a bird.
Forget it, I can't help much with your yamen. But if you need me, just speak up. The two of us brothers, don't be so far apart. "
"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 have this intention."
The old man laughed, "So I can rest assured."
At night, Xie's woke up.
She asked someone to invite Master Gu to Furongyuan.
"Master, my big brother..."
"This matter needs to be mentioned again." Lord 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 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. I would like to ask the master to make 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? Er-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."
Master Gu had 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, the risks are high.
Master Gu remembered that Luhou Mansion wanted to marry the neighboring Mansion, but the Marquis Mansion refused.
Master Gu pondered for a while, but he still thought he would wait for a while and wait until the situation became clear.
He said to Xie's: "The Er 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.
Good to drag!
She is not happy to see Gu Jiu marry 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 originally opened the ready-to-wear store and collapsed, it 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 I 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, if you have 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, not at all afraid.
"Second Zhuang, has the business started?"
Gu Yu brought the yamen's servants over to give Erzhuang's business momentum, 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 a 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 introduced Er Zhuang several local snake yamen.
Er Zhuang quickly took out the red envelopes prepared in advance and delivered them one by one.
The few yamen benefited and all laughed.
"You are the second strong? Don't worry, who dares to trouble you in this area, you find me, and I will stand for you."
"Thank you Zhang Tou. Have a drink together tonight."
"Haha, okay! Drinking at Juxianlou at night, so?"
Er Zhuang nodded repeatedly, "Make, make."
Juxianlou is a relatively high-end restaurant in the south of the city. A meal requires a few taels of silver.
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, the kid is difficult to deal with.
Don't think that with Master Gu as a 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, if you are busy with business, we will leave first."
"Thank you Young Master Gu, thank you Zhang Tou..."
Er Zhuang was relieved as he watched everyone leave.
The guys who stood at the door watching the bustle of the shop before, this meeting all enthusiastically came over.
Jumeizhai has a backing in the Yamen, so you have to make friends.
"Brother Erzhuang, you sell pearl 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. Give me one for my wife and one for my 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.
In 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 the beads and ornaments of Jumeizhai.
Good-looking, not expensive, and many styles.
It is much more beautiful than the bead flowers sold at Xuji shop in Hutongkou.
Xuji Shop is an old local jewelry store. However, the beaded jewelry they sell looks outdated and unattractive compared to Jumeizhai's.
"Oh, what do you wear on this head? It's so pretty, where did it come from?"
The eldest girl smiled shyly, "I bought it from Jumeizhai."
"What? What?"
"Jumeizhai, a newly opened shop specializing in beaded ornaments, is very beautiful."
"Well, it's pretty, it's expensive."
"It's 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 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.
The shop sells good-looking, inexpensive items and new styles.
On this day, Er Zhuang had a fruitful harvest. He thought, what assembly line operation Gu Jiu planned might 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 book, 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.
But whether these people are right or not, you have to wait for Gu Jiu to make a decision with his own eyes.
Busy, one day passed.
As the sky darkened, a lantern was lit up at the gate of Gu's residence.
Butler Gu Quan 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 has not returned. Could it be that it was delayed by things in the yamen.
The 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 will go to the Yamen to have a look."
Senior Sanfu's heart jumped, "Gu Steward, Master will not have any accidents."
"You crow's mouth, the one who celebrates the Chinese 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 hurried to the Yamen with someone.
In the Furong Yard, the people in the second room gathered together and waited 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 Yu yelled: "Don't worry, ma'am. Father is safe and well. There will definitely be nothing wrong."
Xie said nothing.
Gu Jiu frowned, she called Xiaocui, and whispered, "Go to the corner gate and have a look. If the corner gate 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.
