Chapter 354: Honesty

Liu Zhao stayed directly in Zhuangzi and couldn't leave. Live a pastoral life with Gu Jiu.
The good name is: Accompany the lady!
Early in the morning, he was energetic and excited, and awakened Gu Jiu from his sleep.
"Let's go see the sunrise!"
Gu Jiu directly picked up the pillow and hit him.
What's wrong!
Just because she and Su Zheng watched the sunrise, he had to find it.
I don't want to think about how sleepy and tired she was when she went to bed last night.
After Gu Jiu smashed the pillow, rolled the quilt and continued to sleep with his head covered.
Do you think Liu Zhao will just give up?
never!
He is a person who is good at learning.
He has summed up experience and lessons from the struggle with Gu Jiu.
He didn't urge Gu Jiu, he directly carried the quilt on his shoulders, and he carried her up to the top of the mountain to watch the sunrise.
He has confirmed that there will definitely be a sun today, and it will be a sunny day.
It is rare to encounter such a good weather, and to watch the sunrise, you must not miss it.
Gu Jiu: mmp, the Liu family are all crazy, right?
Su Zheng had already left and returned to the capital, but Liu Zhao was still thinking about it. You have to pull her up the mountain to watch the sunrise.
She struggled symbolically twice, and finally gave up.
Forget it, she doesn't care about neurosis.
Anyway, hiding in the bed is quite warm. And not tired.
The sunrise is magnificent!
However, Gu Jiu was stunned throughout the whole process, seeming to be awake but not awake, like sleeping but not sleeping.
For a while, I looked up at the golden sun hanging in the east, and for a while, I lowered my head and continued to fall asleep.
When you are dozing off, think about what you are eating today. Thinking about it, greedy again.
After watching the sunrise and going down the mountain, Gu Jiu fell asleep directly on Liu Zhao's back.
Liu Zhao shook his head and complained pettingly, "How can you sleep like this?"
Gu Jiu: Let me sleep, don't disturb me.
After completing his wish to watch the sunrise, he chose a sunny day, and Liu Zhao took Gu Jiu to go fishing again.
He had long inquired about everything that Gu Jiu and Su Zheng had done together from the mouth of the servant.
He wants to make up all of it.
Gu Jiu has no objection to fishing, and he has the right to rest.
Accompanied by the autumn breeze, warm sun, and a few mosquitoes, the two of them sat on the shore of the lotus pond to fish.
Gu Jiu was holding a book, turning a few pages, and he was absentminded.
Because someone kept staring at her, she couldn't concentrate.
She closed the book, "Am I good-looking?"
Liu Zhao nodded, "It looks pretty."
Gu Jiu bared his teeth, grinning at him, "Don't look, concentrate on fishing."
"Fishing is not anxious, you are more anxious."
"Come less! I want to coax me with sweet words, I won't be fooled."
Liu Zhao smiled triumphantly.
Gu Jiu said that he would not be fooled every time, but he would be fooled every time.
Obviously, it means dissatisfaction with the integrity of the body, and the typical duplicity.
Gu Jiu glared at him, "It's really okay if you don't go back?"
Liu Zhao nodded, "I have already filed a false statement with the Ministry of War, and he hopes that I will never go back."
"What about the palace? Don't you go to the morning court? It doesn't matter if you disappear for so long?"
Liu Zhao laughed at himself, "Who cares?"
Gu Jiu put his cheek in one hand, "Don't you care? It's so easy to have today, and you are willing to let others go? What can you do if you hide in this country and do nothing all day?"
Liu Zhao said softly: "I will accompany you. The emperor's grandfather asks you to raise funds, you are not in a hurry, let alone I."
Gu Jiu waved his hand, "It's different, we are different. I didn't have the time, but you are willing to give up."
Liu Zhao chuckled, "How do you know that I am willing to give up?"
Gu Jiu looked at him suspiciously, "Are you taking the opportunity to play some tricks again?"
Liu Zhao hugged her, "Don't think about it. It's rare to have such a leisurely day, let's spend it slowly. Outside matters, leave it alone for now."
Gu Jiu stared at him, "You are typically neglected by Shangguan, and you start to be passive."
Liu Zhao did not deny that he was passive and sabotaged.
Gu Jiu laughed at him, "The work attitude is not correct enough, no wonder he was left out in the cold."
Liu Zhao corrected her statement, "The order is wrong, because it is the first to be ignored, and then the work attitude is not correct."
Gu Jiu looked at him, "Are you holding back some bad water."
"think too much."
I thought too much and sent Gu Jiu away.
Gu Jiu grunted dissatisfiedly, and did not continue to question.
Liu Zhao's fishing skills are so poor that he didn't catch a single fish in one morning.
He seemed to have suffered discrimination from all fish.
Instead, Gu Jiu caught two carps, one crucian carp, and one grass carp.
Except for the smaller size of crucian carp, carp and grass carp weigh one or two catties.
A few fish swimming around in a wooden barrel. It was empty in a wooden barrel.
Gu Jiu mocked Liu Zhao mercilessly, "I didn't expect there to be things you don't know."
Liu Zhaomu said with a face, "There must be a problem with my fishing rod."
He solemnly searched for a reason.
Gu Jiu laughed mercilessly, "Come on. I changed fishing rods with you, but you didn't catch one."
Liu Zhao refused to admit defeat, "Continue this afternoon, I don't believe I can't catch a fish."
Gu Jiu looked at the sun, "It's too hot in the afternoon, so I won't come. If you want to fish, you can fish slowly by yourself."
Carrying the fish basket, returned to the farm with a good harvest.
Eat fish at noon, with a variety of side dishes, eating very satisfied.
After lunch, Gu Jiu digested for half an hour, and then prepared for lunch break.
As expected, Liu Zhao took the fishing rod and set off again.
It seems that he is on the fishing bar in the lotus pond.
Gu Jiu looked at him and wanted to laugh.
Is it really so difficult to admit that one of your skills is not good?
Seeing his ferocious appearance, the fish in the water was scared away before he got the bait.
Gu Jiu didn't intend to remind him and let him toss it himself.
She took a book, covered her face, and sat in the shade to rest.
Ma Xiaoliu ran in from outside, "Madam, the son fell into the water."
Gu Jiu woke up all at once.
Looking at the time, she actually slept for an hour.
"What did you just say? How could the son fall into the water?"
"The son seems to be trying to catch a fish. He slipped under his feet and fell into the water by accident."
Gu Jiu was angry and funny when he heard the words.
She hurried to the lotus pond and saw Liu Zhao's lower body was soaked and there was still a lot of mud on him.
He fell very hard.
Gu Jiu couldn't hold back, he laughed and squatted on the ground.
"Why are you so stupid? Don't you know martial arts? How could you fall into the water?"
"A horse stumbles, and a person stumbles." Liu Zhao didn't care a little, walking towards her wet.
Gu Jiu raised his hand to resist, "Don't come here, I don't want to be harmed by you. Have you caught a fish after having been so busy for so long?"
Liu Zhao's face was as dark as water.
Gu Jiu took a look and understood. This is not caught.
"Haha..."
She laughed at him mercilessly.
Seeing that Liu Zhao was so embarrassed that he couldn't even catch a single fish. This is the most happy thing this year.
She laughed so much that tears came out.
Then he inserted a knife into his wound, "You are so stupid."
Liu Zhao hummed, "You fish in the lotus pond, you still recognize people."
Gu Jiu laughed wildly and couldn't help but vomit: "Obviously you can't, you are ashamed to blame the fish in the pond, do you want a face?"
Liu Zhao was dissatisfied.
Gu Jiu laughed at him mercilessly again, mean.
"Master, madam, there is someone in the palace!"
The young man ran to the pond to report.
Liu Zhao's face sank, and he asked, "Who is here?"
"It's Changshi Shen, saying that he is here to see the son and his wife."
Liu Zhao exchanged glances with Gu Jiu.
He commanded: "Tell him to wait, we'll be there after a while."
"Small obey orders."
"You guess Shen is often ordered to come, why?" Gu Jiu asked.
Liu Zhao rolled up his trousers and said casually: "It's nothing more than urging you to raise money quickly, and by the way, urging me to return to Beijing as an errand."
Gu Jiu said, "I'm used to living in Zhuangzi, and I don't want to go back to the capital."
"Are you sure of raising money for the emperor grandfather?"
Gu Jiu laughed, "Do you think I have done something that I am not sure about? The hero posts are all sent out. When the time comes, the money will naturally fall into my pocket."
Liu Zhao was stunned when he heard it. He didn't know what hero posts.
Recently, I have been busy getting angry, and have not been distracted to learn about Gu Jiu's business situation.
The so-called hero post is Gu Jiu summoning the world's wealthy businessmen to gather in the capital.
Through the four seas of commercial banks, through the north and south of the merchants, hero posts are widely distributed all over the world.
The wealthy, pursuing and curious wealthy merchants, especially those who have eaten the first wave of bonuses, are willing to give the four seas firms a face. I would like to see what the Four Seas Commercial Bank is selling this time.
Judging from the situation of Erzhuang's reaction, progress is good.
But Gu Jiu didn't worry, she wanted to wait a little longer.
The two returned to Zhuangzi, avoiding the attendant Shen Chang first, and went back to the house for a change.
Then we went to the front yard to see Changshi Shen.
"I have seen the son, madam!"
"Gong Shen is polite."
The three people sit down as the guest and the host.
Gu Jiu came forward to chat with him, delaying time.
After chatting for a few words, Shen Changshi suddenly stopped the topic and said: "Time is precious, and our family has to return to the palace. It is better to talk about business first."
"Gong Shen, please say."
Shen Changshi looked at Gu Jiu, "Your Majesty ordered our family to go there in person, first to greet the son and wife, and secondly, your Majesty would like to know how the money is raised for repairing the three halls?"
Gu Jiu smiled swiftly, and said, "Please give your Majesty a reply for me. The money will definitely be raised within this year. The amount is huge. Please give me more time."
Shen Changshi frowned slightly, "Within this year? Does it mean it will be delayed until the end of the year? Madam Zhao, Your Majesty has limited patience. Please hurry up."
Gu Jiu lowered his head and smiled, "The silver did not come from a strong wind. The Ministry of Households and Shaofu have not been able to settle this sum of money in the past few years. Now I want a little girl to settle such a large sum of money within a few months. Right. This lady doesn't have the ability to turn stones into gold."
Shen Changshi looked at Gu Jiu with a faint smile, "What the madam said is. It's just how our family listens, the madam is resentful."
Gu Jiu spread his hand, "Gonggong Shen also saw it. Now I live in Zhuangzi with my son and I have nothing to do all day. Life is difficult and I am in a bad mood. Please forgive me."
"Oh!"
Shen Changshi's eyes turned around the two of them.
"Why didn't the son return to Beijing? Your majesty asked the son several times, but he was not there."
Liu Zhao grinned, "My son is just a useless person. What do you do when you go back? To be an eye-catching person is better to be at ease in the mountains and rivers."
"The son is free and easy, our family admires. But since the son wants to be free, shouldn't his errands be taken off? You can't occupy the pit and don't shit."
The words were very rough, with strong malice.
Gu Jiu raised his eyebrows and Shen Chang served Liu Zhao. Is it his own meaning or the emperor's meaning?
This is not good!
Liu Zhao narrowed his eyes slightly, "My son just wants to occupy the pit and not shit, what about father-in-law?"
"Haha..."
Shen Changshi laughed loudly, "Just kidding, look at the tense look of the son. It is said that the son is serious and meticulous, as expected."
Liu Zhao's complexion sank, rarely making a sound.
After Shen Changshi laughed, he found that he hadn't received a response to what he said, which was a bit embarrassing.
He coughed slightly, "Don't be surprised, son."
Liu Zhao picked up the teacup and sent the tea off.
"If there is nothing else, Shen Gonggong, it's not early, go back to the palace quickly. Beware of being late and being locked out of the city."
Shen Changshi stood up, arched his hands, "The two are well-trained, let's say goodbye!"
Gu Jiu sent people to attend Chang Shen to go out.
After the people left, she asked quietly, "Shen Changshi, what does he mean? Why did he target you? Could it be possible that you did something that angered your Majesty and met with his suspicion."
"Humph! You can't expect me to be any good."
Gu Jiu's mouth twitched, stinking man, his anger was not small.
She reminded: "Beware of playing with fire and burning yourself."
...
A few days after Shen Changshi's visit, the palace sent someone to urge Liu Zhao to return to the capital.
The person sent by King Ning is his first confidant, serving Chang En in his house.
The two closed the door and chatted a lot, and Gu Jiu didn't even bother.
After the two had finished talking, Chang En hurried back to the capital.
Liu Zhao came to Gu Jiu, "We should go back."
"Oh!"
I knew there would be such a day.
She asked casually: "Don't you need to wait any longer?"
Liu Zhao shook his head, "No need!"
Gu Jiu never asked what Liu Zhao was planning, nor did Liu Zhao take the initiative to explain it.
One does not ask, one does not say, there is still a tacit understanding.
Gu Jiu instructed to go down, "Pack your bags, and we will leave for Beijing tomorrow."
The people cheered for joy and finally returned to the palace.
Everyone does not dislike Zhuangzi too much.
It's just that Zhuangzi is very bitter, and he goes out to the fields and landscapes. After a long time, it will be boring.
The palace is still lively, eating well and staying well.
The people were very active in packing up their luggage, and it was obvious that they were in an urgent mood to return to the palace.
No words for a night.
Early the next morning, several carriages were heading for the capital with luggage and vegetables.
Liu Zhao escorted on horseback.
Sending Gu Jiu back to the palace, he didn't even enter the gate of the palace, turned around, and went out of the city again.
Gu Jiu only told him, "Take care of yourself and come back early."
Liu Zhao told her, "As short as three or five days, as long as half a month, I will definitely come back."
Qing Zhu was curious, "What the are you busy with? It's been half a month after going out."
Gu Jiu glanced at her, "Don't ask too much."
It's about fighting between courts and courts. Until the dust settles, it is the best policy not to ask or talk.
After returning to the palace, after washing and changing his clothes, he went to Chunhetang to ask for peace.
Pei looked at Gu Jiu, not pleasing anywhere.
In her eyes, Gu Jiu was a real spoiler, or a hypocritical spoiler.
"You are finally willing to come back."
Pei's Yin and Yang said strangely.
Gu Jiu was listening to the wind, and the wind passed without a trace.
"The tired mother and concubine are worried, it is the daughter-in-law's fault."
Pei said twice and sarcastically said: "It's hard for you to know that you are wrong. Then tell the princess, where did you go wrong?"
Gu Jiu thought for a while, and said, "The daughter-in-law is at fault. She hasn't done her filial piety in front of the mother and concubine for so long, and the mother and concubine are worried."
Pei sneered, very disdainful.
"This princess is not rare that you are doing filial piety in front of you. But the princess hates people who corrupt the reputation of the palace. The eldest wife, the princess always thinks you are a prudent person. But what you have done this time is really disappointing. Even if you move to Zhuangzi alone, you still dare to go in and out with an unmarried adult man. How decent!"
Pei sternly scolded, obviously to settle accounts after Autumn.
Gu Jiu had known for a long time that Liu Zhao got the news from Pei, so he hurried to Zhuangzi to find her.
Therefore, it was not strange that Pei would attack her.
Faced with this situation, she was well prepared.
Just listen to her utterly and loudly: "The few villagers who were dealt with by the daughter-in-law dare to make troubles in front of the mother and concubine, and corrupt the reputation of the daughter-in-law and the palace. It is really damn. Please also ask the mother and concubine to give them to the daughter-in-law, and the daughter-in-law must personally Start to punish these people severely."
Pei snorted, "Before you are severely punished, you should first reflect on your words and deeds. As the lady of the palace, you must always take the face of the palace as the most important thing. However, what you do will let Ben The princess was disappointed. I don't think you deserve to be the eldest lady of the palace."
