Chapter 141: Don't toss you to death, count me lose!

"Madam, Mrs. Fang said that in the afternoon the second girl came to greet the old man. The grandfather and grandson did not 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. 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 festival, how strange that the second girl suddenly came to greet the old man."
The eldest wife Zhang sternly said: "No investigation. 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 ruining 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 Old Gu Jiu, nor did he want to delve into whether Old Gu Jiu suddenly ran out and whether it was related to 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.
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 whispered 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 about to come in a few days. 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 lunar month at the latest.
After the twenty-eighth lunar month, there is no way to talk about the palace banquet.
When I arrived at Furongyuan, I met Gu Yue.
Gu Yue's eyes are red and swollen, and I don't know how many times he cried in the past two days.
Gu Jiu wanted to ask Gu Yue if she was crying for the safety of Mrs. 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 any offensive power, and said: "Thank you for your second sister's concern, I am fine. 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 may not be possible.
As long as Gu Yue did not marry the 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 Shi 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 his mouth and asked the question that he had always wanted to ask but was afraid to ask.
"Mother, have you sent someone to your uncle's house? My father was sent to prison. Is it related to my uncle?"
Xie's eyes pierced Gu Yue's face like a knife.
Gu Yue shivered.
Xie's face was stern, and he said loudly and loudly: "Master's business, it has nothing to do with the Xie family and your uncle."
"but……"
"No but. Who 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 Wei, the two-room kid 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 Master Hou say?"
"Lao Hou Ye is trying to rescue his father."
Xie's head bowed, 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. Only when will your father come out."
"everything will get better."
Xie hopes 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 every day, but there was no good news.
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 talk 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, my uncle only cared about the military-Chinese relationship. The relationship in the palace was broken. Now I can't even find someone to help me."
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 residence in the palace is based on old connections. It is 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 say."
Gu Ting glanced around, and the two came to a quiet place to talk.
Gu Teng said: "The Queen Mother seems to have offered the conditions that make Lao Hou master a dilemma, so she is willing to let her father go. I can see that Lao Hou Master will not agree to the Queen Mother's terms. Second sister, father is in danger. ."
Gu Jiu raised her 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 Empress Empress asked the Hou Mansion to openly support the East Palace, how could 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 and 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. "
"What should I do then?" Gu Teng looked anxious, "Are you going to watch your father's head in a different place?"
Gu Jiu shook his head, "There is no way to the sky. The empress and the empress do not agree, it doesn't mean you have to give up. Maybe there are other ways."
"What way?" Gu Jiu felt that something was hiding in Gu Jiu.
Gu Jiu looked at Gu Xuan 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, you can stay away from the right and wrong of the capital. Although promotion is hopeless, you can still keep your family safe.
I have always wondered if something happened in the middle, and my father had to return to Beijing to work. Moreover, it was the official position of Jingcheng Fu Yin. "
"Second sister is suspecting that his 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 Wei frowned and thought for a while, "I may have guessed a little reason."
Gu Jiu raised his eyebrows, "Brother Six guessed something, can you tell me?"
Gu Teng gritted his teeth and said, "Maybe it has something to do with the uncle."
Knew it!
Gu Jiu smiled swiftly, "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 about 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, so he 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? I can only hold my nose obediently and take the whole family to Beijing to take office. As a result, he was sent to imprisonment within a month of taking office.
It has created the fastest rate for officials to be imprisoned when they take 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 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 do? From then on, draw a line with the Xie family? In the future, if you encounter it in officialdom, you will step on it to death?"
Gu Yu pursed his lips, his eyebrows were sad, "I will consider this matter. In short, my surname is Gu, not Xie. My position has never changed. Please rest assured for this."
Gu Jiu refused to let him relax, "If your wife insists on contacting Xie's family, what will you do?"
"me……"
Gu Zheng gaped.
Gu Jiu didn't push too much, "Sixth brother, go ahead, it's not too late to think about these things in the future. Also, since Sixth Brother 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 even if you just go to the office to sort out official documents and observe other people's work."
Gu Teng was surprised. He didn't say much, but solemnly thanked him, "Thank you for your second sister's reminder, 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 did the girl remind Young Master Six to go to the Yamen for training? 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. 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 what his future holds.
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 to pay his father's appointment. 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 was going to be a demon, I was already married by then, and she couldn't help me.
Besides 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 an 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 by the way. "
When Gu Jiu said so, several maids understood.
Qingmei said: "It's a girl who thinks thoroughly. There are few people in this world who are as generous as a girl, who can let go of prejudices and have a sincere relationship with the Sixth Master."
Gu Jiu laughed. She squeezed Qingmei’s cheek,
Don’t forget, your girl is me, but I’m the one who wants to do big things. 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 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 Haixi Bo Mansion all day, and I think she is almost dazed."
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 it be more important than loving yourself?
Marriage matters, the words of a matchmaker ordered by 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 had never liked anyone in his life, and he probably wouldn't 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 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.
I hope that the man she will meet 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 lose!
