Chapter 144 Kill You

Gu Jiu came to the study in the outer courtyard.

"My daughter greets her father. My daughter is very happy when her father returns safely."

"Sit down and talk."

Gu Jiu bowed to take orders and sat upright on the chair.

Master Gu took a lot of Gu Jiu and asked, "Have you taken medicine recently? How is your health? Is the weather in the capital still adaptable?"

Gu Jiu bowed and said, "Thank you father for your concern. My daughter is still taking medicine, and her health has improved a lot. The capital is not cold in the northwest, and my daughter can adapt to the weather here."

"That's good. Just say what you're missing, don't keep it in your heart. You were not healthy in the past because you thought too much."

Gu Jiu bowed, "Daughter remember her father's teachings."

Master Gu snorted, "My father heard that you went to greet the old man a few days ago?"

Gu Jiu was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that this matter had already reached Master Gu's ears.

She nodded calmly, "Yes, my 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.

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

Gu Jiu pursed her lips and said, "There is no particular reason, but I suddenly remembered to say hello to the old man. It's almost New Year's Eve. As a junior, my daughter should do this."

Master Gu nodded, "Yeah, it's almost New Year's Eve. I heard that you and the old man chatted for half an hour. What did you talk about? Can you talk to Weifu?"

Gu Jiu pondered what Master Gu meant.

Is Master Gu simply asking, or did he guess something?

Gu Jiu said: "The old man was drunk and not very sober, so he didn't recognize his daughter at first. Later, 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, she actually had very limited time to speak. Most of the time, the old man is drunk. "

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

Gu Jiu shook her head and looked at Master Gu innocently: "My daughter is also confused, she doesn'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 lord went to the Hou's mansion this morning to greet him. According to the old man, it was not the Hou's mansion's credit that the lord was able to get out of prison safely.

Not only is the adult confused, but I also have many questions. Who in the end helped the master get out of prison safely, why did he do good deeds but refused to leave his name? What's your opinion on this matter? "

Gu Jiu's face was blank, "I always thought that the Hou Mansion helped rescue my father. Isn't that right?"

"It's really not the Hou Mansion's credit. My lord and I made a bold guess. The person who helped the lord either came from the palace or from those officials who could talk to His 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 lord?"

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

Master Ma shook his head and said with certainty, "It's not the Empress."

Gu Jiu tried to guess, "Could it be someone close to His Majesty? Their words should be more effective than ordinary officials. Especially in a case like my father, it is very serious if you say it is serious.

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

Gu Jiu lowered his head and pretended to think hard.

She sneaked out of the house, met with Liu Zhao, and persuaded Mr. Gu to hand over his things, so that Liu Zhao could fulfill his promise and release Mr. Gu. Gu Jiu didn't plan to say this series of things.

Gu Jiu hadn't figured out Master Gu's attitude towards her yet.

She rescued Lord Gu from her own interests and the interests of the overall situation.

As long as Master Gu is fine, their whole family will be fine.

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 more of a father-daughter relationship, or is he dominant because he sees her usefulness? Maybe both.

No matter what the reason was, Gu Jiu didn't mind.

The use of value, itself is a kind of affirmation of one's own ability.

It is sad if a person has no use value at all.

The reason why Gu Jiu refused to tell the truth was also because she was not sure how much Master Gu would use her after knowing the truth. Will he use her madly?

She is also worried that after Master Gu knows the truth, he will do impulsive things and destroy the current situation.

Thinking about it, Master Gu must have a bad impression of Liu Zhao.

Knowing that Liu Zhao saved him, the ghost knows what action Master Gu will take next.

For things that are out of control, Gu Jiu prefers to be slower, slower.

The truth is not important, the important thing is that Lord Gu returns safely and the official resumes his post. The Gu Mansion smiled happily.

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

Gu Jiu said, "I don't even understand what Master Ma doesn't understand."

Master Gu said in a deep voice, "It's a good thing to have filial piety. However, you are a girl's family, and the old man's life is absurd. In the future, there is no elder to lead you, so you should not go to see the old man, lest you encounter an unbearable scene."

Gu Jiu bowed her body and said yes, "Daughter listens to her father, she will be cautious in her words and deeds in the future, and will not dare to act arbitrarily."

"When you go back, prepare well. On the morning of the first day of the new year, go to the palace to greet you with your wife."

"Daughter obeys."

Gu Jiu got up, said goodbye to Master Gu, and left the study in the outer courtyard.

Master Gu asked Master Ma, "How is it?"

Master Ma hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Xiaguan 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 official, the second girl is a very assertive and thoughtful person. However, today, the second girl has always followed the words of the adults, and never offered any opinions from the beginning to the end."

"how so?"

Master Ma said, "Xiaguan has a bold guess. Your Excellency will listen to it for now. Maybe the second lady knows why the Lord was released from prison and who is behind it. But for some reason, the second lady can't tell."

Master Gu first smiled, then his expression became extremely serious, "Your guess is really too bold. Xiao Jiu is just a little girl who has not yet reached the age of 笄, and how can she do things that even the Hou Mansion can't do. She is a boudoir girl, how can she know the people in the palace?"

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

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

...

When Old Master Gu saw Master Gu, how could he be polite. He jumped up, pointed at Master Gu's nose and cursed, calling him an unfilial son.

"Because of you, the whole house is going up and down. What kind of official are you, go home and eat leisurely dinner as soon as possible. Shame, shame, shame. How could the old man give birth to you such an idiot."

Master Gu's face was dark.

The housekeeper Gu Quan hurriedly hid out, not daring to listen any more. Fear of being 'killed and silenced' by Master Gu.

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

"Father, Xiaojiu came to greet you that day, what did you say?"

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

Old Master Gu spit while talking, and the saliva sprayed onto Master Gu's face.

Master Gu closed his eyes, wiped his face, and said as calmly as possible: "I said that the second girl came to greet you two days ago, what did you say?"

The old man Gu smashed the glass, "It's a big deal, come and ask the old man, what are you doing when you have nothing to do? How does the old man know what she said? The little girl's house, frighten it, and cry. Hmph, don't let it go in the future. When the old man sees your children, one or two are debt collectors, and none of them will have trouble."

Master Gu frowned, "Second girl came to greet you, anyway, it is a filial piety. The old man can't say two nice words."

"Why, you are dissatisfied! This is the old man's house. The old man can do whatever he wants, and scold whoever he wants to scold. The old man even scolds you, but can't scold your daughter? Are you an idiot? The old man gave birth to you like this. You idiot, I don't know what you did in your past life. Go go, go go to the old man. When the old man sees you, he gets angry."

Mr. Gu was so popular that his heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys were in pain. It was a great misfortune in life to have such a father.

"You're not leaving yet? The old man beat you to death."

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

Of course Master Gu wouldn't stand there obediently and be smashed, he jumped away and avoided the teapot.

Immediately afterwards, Old Man Gu picked up the wine glass and threw it at Master Gu.

Master Gu was smashed to the point where he lost his temper, and was abruptly kicked out of the room.

Master Gu's fist clenched and loosened, loosened and clenched.

Hearing Old Man Gu's scolding voice, Master Gu had a gloomy face, "Father doesn't need to scold him, son will leave now."

Master Gu was furious and left with a flick of his sleeves.

Snapped!

Old Man Gu closed the door directly, and didn't forget to curse, "Idiot, idiot! The whole family are idiots."

Master Gu gritted his teeth and restrained himself.

Sometimes he really wants to be an unfilial son.

That way it won't be so painful.

Old Man Gu had enough of his scolding, and slumped on the chair.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, he was exhausted.

Madam Fang pushed open the door and came in, "Master, this servant will clean up the house."

Old Man Gu kicked over the stool beside him, "Clean up and bring me two bottles of wine for the old man. In addition, I ordered the kitchen to cook two snacks. The old man is going to be very drunk today."

Mrs. Fang was very straightforward and stretched out her hand, meaning self-evident.

To drink, to eat snacks, to bring money.

These are all extra expenses, and the public does not bear this part of the expenses.

The old man Gu blew his beard and stared, "Billy maid, every one of them is open to seeing money."

Madam Fang was not afraid of Old Man Gu, she raised her head and said, "This is the rule of the manor, Old Man, you should give money as soon as possible."

snort!

Mr. Gu took a coin or two and threw it to Mrs. Fang, "Hurry up. If the old man is hungry, I will kill you."

Madam Fang picked up the silver, pouted, twisted her waist and went out.

...

Gu Mansion has no secrets.

Soon everyone knew that Mr. Gu went to greet the old man Gu, but he was beaten up by the old man.

People are talking secretly, watching the jokes of adults.

When the eldest Mrs. Zhang learned about this, she frowned and said, "Second Master knows that the old man is acting absurdly, so he is not happy to find him."

The maid Shaoyao said, "Second master finally got out of prison, so he should give his respects to him."

"The old man is disrespectful to the old man. Who will he pay? It's not that he harmed the whole family. Forget it, forget it, don't talk about it."

Xie's brows furrowed when he learned that Mr. Gu was kicked out by Mr. Gu.

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

She complained: "Master is really, the virtue of the old man, why bother to greet him. What happened, the old man kicked out the door and made people laugh.

I really don't know what the old man was thinking. As an official, the master was kicked out by him. If this spread out, the master would be very embarrassed.

The old man wanted to toss the whole family upside down, and everyone was unlucky, so he was happy. "

After finishing speaking, Mr. Xie gritted his teeth and wished to have a theory with Mr. Gu in person.

It's just that Mr. Gu will definitely not give Xie's face, and maybe he will scold Xie with blood and make Xie lose face.

After all, when Mr. Gu wanted to straighten the Xie family, Mr. Gu was firmly opposed to it.

From the beginning to the end, Mr. Gu looked down on Xie's daughter-in-law.

She was born in a small family, has not read a few books, and is petty, so what qualifications does she have to be the daughter-in-law of the Gu family?

But Mr. Gu could not be beaten, and besides, it was only righting, not the original wife. In desperation, Xie was finally righted.

Mrs Xie herself knew that she was not respectable in front of Mr. Gu. Therefore, she never approached Mr. Gu, and only dared to complain in private.

Just like the eldest Mrs. Zhang, when she got angry, she directly attacked the old man Gu, and even told the old man Gu to go out, but Mr. Xie did not dare.

Xie didn't have that confidence.

Zhang's family is different, the first-born daughter-in-law, the original wife of the Ming media is marrying, her family is strong, she is capable, and she has three sons by her side.

Grandpa Gu angered her, but he still cleaned up and never softened.

Chun He comforted Mr. Xie, "Madam, don't get angry. The old man is absurd, and it is not a matter of one or two days. After today's events, the old man will also learn a lesson, and he will stay away from the old man in the future."

Xie shi nodded again and again, "It's time for the old man to stay away."

Gu Yue and Gu Shan came to visit Xie Shi together.

"Mother, are you feeling better?"

Xie Shi laughed, "Much better. Shan'er, come and sit beside me."

Gu Shan hesitated for a while, then glanced at Gu Yue secretly, then stepped forward and sat down next to Xie's.

Gu Yue stood on the spot, a little unable to return to his senses.

Can't seem to believe this scene.

That position had 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.

Why has everything changed in just a few days.

This change caught Gu Yue by surprise, not knowing how to react.

Chun He reminded Gu Yue, "Three girls, stop standing. Hurry up and sit down."

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

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

Gu Yue's heart was sour, and tears suddenly fell. She wiped away her tears and sat under Xie's head.

Gu Shan asked softly, "Mother, what should my daughter do to prepare for going to the palace on the first day of the first year?"

Xie Shi laughed, "Well, the mammy of the Hou residence will come in a while. If you have any questions, you can ask mama."

In fact, Xie Shi is not very clear.

It was also the first time for her to enter the palace to greet her, and she had to rely on Zhang's face-to-face advice on how to do it.

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

Gu Yue wiped away her tears and felt very unwilling.

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

Xie's "hmm" sounded.

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

"No." Before Gu Yue could finish speaking, Xie shi decisively interrupted her.

She didn't want to listen to Gu Yue's thoughts. Any idea is absurd.

Xie sternly told Gu Yue, "Yue'er, there is no other place in the palace. When you enter the palace, your words and deeds represent the Gu family.

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

So after entering the palace, you are by my side, and you are not allowed to go anywhere. In short, you must not wander around the palace.

If I collide with a noble person, I will not be your daughter. "

Gu Yue was stunned, tears fell again, and she looked very pitiful.

Xie Shi also emphasized, "I'm not joking with you this time. If you dare to mess around in the palace, even if your father kills you, I won't stop you. You can do it yourself."

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

"I hope you do what you say."
