Chapter 141 Don't Toss You to Death, Count Me as a Loser!

"Madam, Mrs. Fang said that 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 that she had heard from Mrs. Fang to the eldest wife, Mrs. Zhang.

The eldest Mrs. Zhang paused and looked back at Shaoyao, "Take it seriously."

"The servant asked someone to ask, and the second girl did come to the outer courtyard in the afternoon."

The eldest wife, Mrs. Zhang, looked back at the gate of the courtyard where the old man lived, and said, "I know about this."

Shaoyao asked aloud, "Is this matter to be investigated? It's a little strange that the second girl suddenly came to greet the old man."

The eldest Mrs. Zhang said with a stern face, "No need to investigate. Don't spread the word about this."

Shaoyao nodded in response, "The slaves listen to the wife. The slaves will also beat her at Mrs. Fang's place."

"Remember to tell her to shut up. If I know she's talking nonsense and ruining the reputation of the girl's family, I won't spare him."

"Slave remembered."

The eldest Mrs. Zhang didn't want to get into why Gu Jiu went to see Old Man Gu, or whether Old Man Gu suddenly ran out and had something to do with Gu Jiu.

This matter, she is indeed a bit good, and has made a lot of guesses.

But Mr. Zhang knows that some things are better not to know.

Gu Jiu always has her reasons when she sees Mr. Gu.

...

Early the next morning, Gu Jiu went to the Furong Courtyard to greet him.

When going out, Qingmei whispered, "Girl, when will the master come back?"

Gu Jiu said in a deep voice, "Wait, maybe just a few days."

There are still a few days before the Chinese New Year, and Liu Zhao asked her to attend the palace banquet, so Master Gu must be released before the court holiday. No later than the twenty-eighth of the twelfth lunar month.

After the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, there is no way to talk about the palace banquet.

When they arrived at the Furong Courtyard, they met Gu Yue.

Gu Yue's eyes were red and swollen, and she didn't know how many times she cried in the past two days.

Gu Jiu wanted to ask Gu Yue that she was crying for the safety of Master Gu.

She was still crying for the attitude of Haixi Bo Mansion and her own marriage.

"Third sister, are you okay?"

Gu Yue was sluggish, his face was pale, and he looked weak.

She was rarely polite and had no offensive power, and said, "Thank you second sister for your concern, I'm fine. Second sister looks good. I really envy that second sister 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, do you think your father will not come back?"

Gu Yue retorted with little energy: "Don't talk nonsense. I hope more than anyone else that my father can return safely as soon as possible."

This is true. If Master Gu can't come back, the marriage between Gu Yue and Zhao Erlang may not be successful.

As long as Gu Yue didn't get married to Haixi Bo's house, 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."

When Gu Zhen came, she also didn't rest well, her complexion was dull, and her appearance plummeted.

Gu Jiu nodded, "Big sister said yes. Big sister should also take care of her health."

Gu Zhen smiled bitterly, Yaoyao head, without saying anything, walked into the Furong Court first.

Everyone entered the main room in turn. Gu Shan and Gu Lin both arrived, and both of them sat in the chairs in silence.

The maids helped Xie out.

Gu Jiu stared at Xie Shi and took a closer look.

In a few days, Mr. Xie's whole figure looked seven or eight years old, not only was his face haggard, but his complexion was dark and yellow, and his lips were chapped. The cheeks are also sunken.

Gu Jiu took the lead and greeted the Xie family.

Xie Shi waved his hand, "Sit down."

Gu Yue opened her mouth and asked the question she had always wanted to ask but was afraid to ask.

"Mother, did you send someone to visit your uncle's house? My father was imprisoned, does it have anything to do with my eldest uncle?"

Xie's eyes pierced Gu Yue's face like a knife.

Gu Yue shivered.

Mr. Xie said with a stern face, "Master's affairs have nothing to do with the Xie family or your uncle."

"But……"

"No but. Whoever dares to talk nonsense in the future, I can't spare her."

This time, Gu Yue didn't dare to ask again.

The maid Dongmei came in and reported, "Madam, the young masters are here."

"Let them in."

Led by Gu Jun, the boys from the second room filed into the main room.

"Greetings to my wife (mother)."

Mr. Xie panted and said, "Sit down. Liulang, is there any news from the Hou Mansion? What did the old Hou Ye say?"

"The old man is entrusting the relationship to rescue his father."

Xie shi lowered his head, unable to hide his disappointment, "Are you going to visit your father in the prison today?"

"The son will go with the third brother in a while. Please rest assured, mother, the father did not suffer in the prison, and the people of Jinwuwei did not embarrass the father."

Xie nodded, "That's good. It's just when your father will come out."

"everything will get better."

Xie was hoping that everything would get better, but she really didn't have much confidence.

She built a small Buddhist hall in Furongyuan, where she recites scriptures and prays for blessings every day, but there is no good news at all.

Xie was almost desperate.

But she can still hold on, she has a daughter and a son. She can't collapse.

Mr. Xie didn't want to speak, so he went directly to the small Buddhist hall to recite sutras.

Everyone also dispersed.

Gu Chen took the initiative to talk to Gu Jiu.

"Second sister, things are not going well in the Hou Mansion. The eldest uncle has made a lot of connections and can only guarantee that his father will not suffer in the prison, but he is unable to come to the palace to plead for mercy."

Gu Jiu nodded, she knew all this. Gu Mansion seems to be a family with profound background. But after the old man Gu was reprimanded by the emperor and ordered to think about it, the Gu manor was in the palace, and he was almost speechless. Some familiar personal connections in the past have also been cut off.

Now cramming, naturally, it won't work.

Gu Chen sighed, "A few years ago, my uncle only cared about managing the relationship between the army and the army. The relationship in the palace is broken. Now I can't even find anyone to help."

Gu Jiu said, "It's not the uncle's fault for this matter. Even the Hou Mansion has no connections in the palace, let alone the uncle. Even if the uncle wants to experience the relationship in the palace, he is powerless."

As the emperor grew old day by day, many new people entered the palace, and at the same time many old people passed away.

Gu Manor's relationship in the palace is all about some old connections. When a person dies, it is common to cut off communication.

Gu Zhen nodded, "I know all this. I heard a piece of news and wanted to discuss it with the second sister."

"Sixth brother, please speak."

Gu Zhen looked around, and the two came to a secluded place to talk.

Gu Chen said: "The Empress seems to be willing to let my father go because the empress seems to have made the old marquis a dilemma. I can see that the old marquis will not agree with the empress's conditions. Second sister, father is in danger. ."

Gu Jiu raised her eyebrows, "Do you know what conditions the Empress saw?"

Gu Chen tried to say, "It may be related to the East Palace."

Gu Jiu pursed her lips, "If it is related to the East Palace, the old man will naturally not agree.

For example, if the Empress asked the Hou Mansion to publicly support the East Palace, how could the Hou Mansion agree to such a condition?

Compared with the safety of his father, the safety of the entire Hou Mansion was more important. In order to preserve the Hou Mansion and the Gu family, sacrificing his father alone is nothing.

Not to mention the clan elders, maybe even the eldest uncle would agree to sacrifice his father to keep the Gu family up and down. "

"Then what should we do?" Gu Chen looked anxious, "Do you want to watch your father's head be in a different place?"

Gu Jiu shook her head, "There is no way out of the sky. If you can't talk to the Empress, it doesn't mean you have to give up. Maybe there are other ways."

"What can I do?" Gu Chen felt that Gu Jiu was hiding something.

Gu Jiu looked at Gu Chen and said, "Sixth brother, why don't you wait patiently. If you are going to visit your father today, why don't you ask your father why he returned to Beijing to work in the first place.

Given the current situation in the capital, it stands to reason that staying in the northwest is the best policy. If you stay in the northwest, you can stay away from the capital. Although there is no hope of promotion, you can also keep your family safe.

I have always wondered about this, if something happened in the middle, and my father had to go back to Beijing to work. Moreover, it is still the official position of the governor of the capital, the air bag official. "

"Second sister suspects that her father has an inside story when he returns to Beijing to serve as the governor of the capital?"

Gu Jiu nodded, "Don't you have any doubts, Brother Six?"

Gu Zhen frowned and thought deeply, "I may have guessed the reason."

Gu Jiu raised her eyebrows, "Sixth brother guessed something, can you tell me?"

Gu Zhen gritted his teeth and said, "Maybe it has something to do with Uncle."

Knew it!

Gu Jiu smiled knowingly, "It's no wonder that father and Lord Xie have the attitude of life and death enemies. Lord Xie brought his father back to the capital at this time to be the governor of the capital, which is indeed very unkind. It can even be guessed that Lord Xie has been in the capital from the very beginning. Hidden misfortune."

Gu Zhen was unwilling to speculate maliciously on Xie Mao, Xie Mao was his uncle after all.

However, there are indications 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 very beginning.

But Master Gu was unavoidable, knowing that it was a big pit, he could only jump into it.

The official documents of the Ministry of Personnel are all down, what can Master Gu do? He could only hold his nose obediently and take the whole family to Beijing to take office. As a result, after taking office for less than a month, he was sentenced to prison.

It has created the fastest speed for officials to be imprisoned when they assume new positions. Maybe a hundred years later, there will be a record in the history books.

Master Gu can also be regarded as a famous name in the history, although the reputation is not very good.

Gu Chen said, "I will ask my father about this in person."

Gu Jiu reminded, "Sixth brother, have you ever thought about it, what will you do after asking the truth? From now on, draw a clear line with the Xie family? If you encounter it in the officialdom in the future, you will step on it directly?"

Gu Zhen pursed her lips and frowned, "I will consider this matter. In short, my surname is Gu, not Xie. My position has never changed, please rest assured my second sister."

However, Gu Jiu refused to let him relax, "If the wife insists on interacting with the Xie family, what would you do?"

"me……"

Gu Zhen was speechless.

Gu Jiu didn't push her too hard, "Sixth brother, go get busy. It's not too late to think about these things later. Also, since sixth brother is planning to become an official, should he pay more attention to some things from now on? Just reading is not enough."

"Second sister, what do you mean?"

Gu Jiu smiled, "Sixth brother, if you have time, might as well do something for your father. Even if you just go to the yamen to sort out the official documents and watch others do things, that's fine."

Gu Chen was surprised. He didn't say much, just thanked him solemnly, "Thank you second sister for reminding me, I will consider it. Second sister pay attention to her body, don't blow the wind outside for too long, I will go first."

"Sixth brother, go get busy."

When Gu Chen was far away, Qingmei asked suspiciously, "Why did the girl remind the sixth young master to go to the yamen for training? The sixth young master is his wife's precious son."

According to ordinary people's thinking, since Gu Chen is the son of the Xie family, if he hates Wu Jiwu, Gu Jiu should also hate Gu Chen. I wish that Gu Chen was not promising.

Then Gu Jiu didn't think so.

She said: "The wife is the wife, and the sixth brother is the sixth brother. The sixth brother's surname is Gu, and I have the same surname. The wife has the Xie family in her heart, but the sixth brother has no Xie family in her heart.

Moreover, the third brother is determined to join the army, and he does not know what his future will be like.

Our second room can't be without a man who stands up to the door. The third brother wants to stand up, but I don't know how many years it will take.

Moreover, when the third brother joined the army, he also needed the help of the court. In the future, when my father goes to work, the third brother can only count on the sixth brother. With one piece of literature and one military force, our second room can only prosper.

Starting from the overall situation, it is a wise choice to support the sixth brother to stand up. "

"But if the Sixth Young Master is promising, there should be a commotion at the wife's place. I don't know what it will be like then."

Gu Jiu smiled softly, "The wife can't control the sixth brother now, and she can't be the master of the sixth brother. When the sixth brother goes into office in the future, do you think the wife's words will still work?

Even if my wife is going to be a demon, and I've already married off by then, she won't be able to do anything to me.

In addition to the father, there must be someone in the house who can restrain the wife. Gu Yue can't do it, Gu Shan can't do it, and Gu Gong can't do it.

At present, it seems that only Gu Ting can restrain his wife and make her feel jealous.

We can't stop the wife from being a demon, but she is always the wife of the second room, and it is impossible not to admit her identity.

When she is a demon, someone has to come forward to take care of her. It's like having an uncle taking care of the old man. The wife also has to have such a person to take care of her. This person is none other than Brother Liu. But if the sixth brother has a difficult career and has no future, where does he have the confidence to control his wife?

At that time, I am afraid that Gu Gong will ride on the head of the sixth brother and let his wife go wild. "

When Gu Jiu said this, several maids understood.

Qingmei said: "It's the girl who thought it through. There are not many people in this world who can be as generous as a girl, who can let go of their prejudices and have a sincere relationship with the sixth young master."

Gu Jiu laughed, she pinched Qingmei's cheek, "Don't forget, your girl, I am someone who wants to do big things. How can you care about trivial things every day. If you have time, I might as well do more practical things. , let our days become more and more prosperous."

Xiao Cui clapped her hands and laughed, "The girl is right, you will be mad if you care about trivial matters with your wife every day."

Qingmei sighed with emotion and said, "The three girls should listen to these words. I think about the marriage in Haixi Bo's house all day, and I think she is almost stunned."

Gu Jiu said, "Don't worry about her, let her make a fuss. Sooner or later, you will regret it."

For the sake of a man, Gu Jiu looked down on Gu Yue very much.

No matter how good a man is, can it be more important than loving yourself?

Marriage events, the words of the parents' life matchmaker. Gu Jiu said that this kind of marriage is essentially a transaction, like a contract.

However, this kind of contract generally can only share the joys, not the hardships.

Gu Jiu has never liked anyone in his last life, and he probably won't like any man in this life.

She is ready for marriage.

Even if she lived to old age in her previous life, there was a high chance that she would not get married.

But in this life, she can't escape marriage, sooner or later she will get married.

Gu Jiu never seriously thought about what kind of person she would marry.

After much deliberation, her marriage should be a man of the right match.

The two get married, manage their married life, deal with in-laws, in-laws and sister-in-law, and all kinds of shit.

When you think about it, marriage is scary.

Gu Jiu didn't want to get married at one time, and it took a year to delay it.

But when she couldn't drag it on and she insisted on getting married, she could see that man as a business partner and a community of interests. ,

In this way, many bad things can be seen.

Gu Jiu pursed her lips and smiled.

In my heart, I secretly praised my wit.

There is no better way to treat your future husband-in-law as a business partner.

I hope that the man she meets in the future will be a reasonable person.

Her requirements are so low, God will surely satisfy her.

God: Hehe!

If you don't toss you to death, count me as a loser!
