Six Hundred and Thirtieth Chapters Hit It
The ears are finally clean.
Gu Jiu smiled at everyone, "What are you all looking at me for? Drinking!"
"Drink, drink!"
Everyone raised their wine glasses one after another to hide their nervousness.
Gu Cheng apologized in a low voice, "I didn't expect my father to make a fuss in front of everyone today. I didn't arrange it well. If you are angry, just come at me."
Gu Jiu said softly: "Brother, what are you doing? You still can't be the head of this family, so it's not your fault. Besides, my father has resentment towards me, not today, but also tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, one day He would vent to my face.
The good thing is that everyone here is a family. Even if you lose face, you are still losing face in front of your own family. If it happened on other occasions, it would be embarrassing in public, and the scene would be even more embarrassing. "
"Thank you, Second Sister, for your understanding."
Gu Jiu asked Gu Cheng to sit down and drink, and she asked again: "Is father complaining all the time?"
Gu Cheng said in a low voice: "Since Uncle Santang of the Hou's Mansion was promoted to Tongcheng of the Shaofu, my father always complained once every three days. Some time ago, two nephews were knighted because of the sweet potato seeds presented by the second sister, and my father also complained. Made a lot of complaints. He always complains that the second sister refuses to run for him, refuses to give him benefits, and only cares about outsiders."
Gu Jiu sneered, "He doesn't even think about it, can he afford such a big benefit by himself?"
Virtue is not worthy, so why should he be in a high position.
Even if the character is good, the ability is not good, and you can't be in a high position.
Mr. Gu, however, thinks highly of himself, and always thinks that if he sits in a high position, he will definitely be able to make some amazing political achievements.
But at the beginning, he had been serving as the servant of the household department for so many years, but he didn't make any political achievements. Instead, he was also implicated in the ink corruption case.
If Mr. Gu hadn't sacrificed himself to save him, Mr. Gu would be waiting in a corner now.
Gu Jiu drank the wine in his glass.
Ever since she learned the truth about Mr. Gu's death, she has been completely disappointed in Mr. Gu.
However, Mr. Gu didn't feel that he was wrong.
Gu Jiu said: "Call Gu Quan and tell him to wait in the study. I have something to ask him later."
Gu Cheng was a little hesitant.
"What does the second sister want to do? Do you need my help?"
Gu Jiu smiled, "If you want to listen in, just come along."
She got up, said goodbye to everyone, and went to the study with Gu Cheng.
As soon as she left, discussions started at the banquet.
It's just that everyone is dead to the point, and there is no in-depth communication.
Gu Jiu is not what he used to be, even if he is a sister or brother, he has to be careful when speaking. So as not to offend people.
Gu Quan was invited to the study to meet Gu Jiu.
His forehead was sweating, and his heart was more nervous than ever before.
I always feel that if a bad answer is given, the Huangmen next to Gu Jiu will kill him.
Before, those little yellow gates blocked Mr. Gu's mouth, but they didn't show mercy at all. The technique is proficient and accurate, obviously it is often practiced.
Who do you practice with?
Gu Quan didn't dare to think deeply.
Gu Jiu curled her fingers and tapped on the table lightly, instantly attracting Gu Quan's full attention.
Gu Jiu asked him; "Apart from complaining that I didn't give him any benefits, does the master have any other complaints?"
Gu Quan licked his lips, and said cautiously: "The eldest young master has been promoted, and his rank is the same as the master's fourth grade. The master felt a little uncomfortable, and complained a little."
Gu Jiu sneered, "Is there anything else?"
"Let's hurry up, the master said a few inappropriate words. It was the day when the palace rewarded property, he said some inappropriate words, and he didn't say any other time." Gu Quan became more and more careful.
Gu Jiu rolled his eyelids, "He even dares to complain about that person, is he tired of his job? Could someone instigate these complaints?"
Although Gu Quan didn't say it clearly, Gu Jiu knew that the inappropriate words Mr. Gu said related to the current emperor, Emperor Wen De.
It is not an exaggeration to say that he is rebellious.
Gu Quan waved his hands again and again, "I never dare to provoke this master, I have been persuading him to look away. Madam's decency is the dignity of the Gu family. It's just that the master doesn't listen to these words and insists on going his own way."
Gu Jiu asked again: "Is someone else instigating in the mansion? Did the master next to the master say anything inappropriate?"
Since Master Ma disappeared, Mr. Gu invited two more masters.
However, learning from the previous lessons, Mr. Gu is not close to the two masters. When there is something, I will call the two masters to ask for advice.
Gu Quan said: "The two masters are very sensible. They have never talked about Madam's affairs, even the young master seldom mentioned it. As for the people in the mansion..."
Gu Quan frowned and thought deeply.
Gu Jiu raised her eyebrows, "Why, did you remember anything?"
Gu Quan thought about it and said: "I'm not sure if it's the younger one. It's just that every time the master goes to Aunt Tan's place, he will complain a lot the next day."
"Is there any more?"
Gu Quan shook his head, "I can't think of anything else."
Gu Jiu smiled, "Go to the backyard and bring Aunt Tan. Don't let the maids around her go. You know what to do."
Gu Quan nodded again and again, "Madam, don't worry, the little one will definitely get things done."
He hurriedly took people to the backyard to do business.
Gu Cheng asked: "Second sister, do you suspect that Aunt Tan is instigating father?"
"Is it Aunt Tan's instigation? Just ask. I've heard people say that Aunt Tan's natal family has been relying on the Gu family for these years, and their life is getting more and more prosperous. Even his bastard brother got a job. Yamen's errand."
"It's true. Father loves Aunt Tan and takes good care of the Tan family. We have no right to interfere."
Master Gu can't handle his own errands, but the errands of my little concubine's elder brother are easy to handle.
Gu Jiu sneered, "Xu Yousi, ask someone to investigate the Tan family. If there is any crime, collect all the evidence and hand it over to the yamen, and deal with it according to the law."
Xu Yousi bowed to accept the order. It's easy.
The Tan family is an ordinary family. It is easy to check and even easier to do.
Even if Mr. Gu hugs the Tan family, it's useless.
Aunt Tan was invited.
Gu Jiu's impression of Aunt Tan was still that she was a pretty good-looking village girl when she first entered the mansion.
However, today's Aunt Tan, wearing gold and silver, is rich and noble.
A face full of water and water, especially those eyes, everyone seems to be staring at him affectionately. No wonder Mr. Gu is so fascinated by her.
"My concubine pays homage to Mrs. Zhao!"
Gu Jiu looked at her with a half-smile, but didn't cry out.
Aunt Tan just squatted her body, neither getting up nor sitting down.
After squatting for a while, she felt very uncomfortable. It feels like my legs are not my own.
She gritted her teeth, overcame the discomfort in her body, and said again: "My concubine pays homage to Mrs. Zhao!"
Gu Jiu rolled her eyelids, "Show Aunt Tan a seat."
A small stool fell in front of Aunt Tan.
Aunt Tan had no choice but to sit down on the small stool.
In this way, when she looked at people, she could only look up, feeling extremely wronged.
There was no Mr. Gu in the study, so she became nervous for no reason.
"I don't know what advice Madam Zhao has to call my concubine over."
Gu Jiu played with a carved jade wine glass, but didn't speak.
Gu Cheng, led by Gu Jiu, did not speak.
After a long time, Aunt Tan felt great pressure. Especially when there are servants from the Huangmen who are watching covetously around.
She was restless, and in just one cup of tea, she had already changed her sitting position four times.
My palms are already sweating.
She is no longer confident and triumphant as she was at the beginning.
She asked nervously, "Madam, if you have any advice, please let me know."
Gu Jiu pulled the corners of her mouth and forced a smile, "Auntie, what's the rush, wait a little longer."
"Waiting for what?"
No one could answer her question.
Waited and waited until Gu Quan arrived.
Gu Quan bowed and said, "Mrs. Qi, everything has been interrogated. It is indeed Aunt Tan who provoked the master."
Aunt Tan suddenly jumped up from the small stool, pointed at Gu Quan and cursed, "Butler Gu, what nonsense are you talking about, when will I provoke Master? Master, I want to see Master, I want to..."
"It's noisy! Open your mouth!"
Gu Jiu looked disgusted.
Immediately, Xiao Huangmen stepped forward to grab Aunt Tan, picked up the ruler, and slapped Aunt Tan on the face.
"Ahhh..."
Aunt Tan yelled in surprise, shocked and in pain, she couldn't believe it.
She opened her mouth to speak, "How dare you hit me in the face?"
As a result, he was beaten even harder.
It wasn't until she closed her mouth and Gu Jiu raised her hand that Xiao Huangmen let her go.
Aunt Tan lay flat on the ground, her cheeks were swollen, like steamed buns.
It was the first time that Gu Teng saw such a clean and tidy arrangement of concubines and aunts, and he was taken aback.
Especially Aunt Tan's swollen face, for no reason, he also felt pain in his face, as if a ruler had hit him in the face.
What the hell!
Gu Jiu asked: "Mr. Tan, do you now know why my wife wants to punish you?"
Aunt Tan opened her terrified eyes, shook her head again and again, and then nodded again and again.
Gu Jiu asked calmly: "Tell me, why did you instigate the master to complain all the time? What good will it do you if the master and Mrs. Ben have a rift?"
"Ma'am misunderstood!"
Aunt Tan cried out in pain, and as soon as she spoke, her cheeks hurt so much that she gasped.
But even so, she had to speak clearly, so that no one could wrong her.
"The concubine definitely didn't intend to provoke the master. The concubine just wanted to do what she liked. Seeing that the master felt resentful, she said a few words along the way. The concubine really didn't do it intentionally. The concubine just wanted to be favored by the master, woo woo... ...everything my concubine says is true."
Aunt Tan cried out of breath.
Gu Jiu smiled coldly, "For love, you dare to instigate the father-daughter relationship between my wife and the master. Next time, for love, will you dare to kill someone?"
"No, no, no, my concubine would never dare to kill someone. I beg my wife to spare my life, please my wife to spare my life." Aunt Tan waved her hands repeatedly, she was really scared.
Gu Jiu is a devil at all.
Gu Jiu's behavior style is completely different from that of the female relatives in the mansion. He didn't talk nonsense with her at all, and he just gave her a hard slap when he came up, without giving her a chance to defend herself.
woo woo woo...
She is so scared!
Where is the old man?
Master, come and save her!
Gu Jiu was unmoved, she asked Xu Yousi, "Instigating the master, separating the father-daughter relationship between the master and my wife, and slandering my wife, what should I do?"
Xu Yousi bowed and said, "According to the palace rules, execute him directly! Or pull out his tongue and do coolies."
When Aunt Tan heard this, her heart trembled, and she knelt down to Gu Jiu, "Don't kill me, don't kill me. Please don't pull out my tongue, madam. From now on, I won't dare to say a word again."
Gu Jiu said softly: "She is not from the palace, how should I deal with it?"
"At the very least, break her leg and throw it out. Such a person must not stay in the Gu residence and ruin Madam's reputation. But just in case she talks nonsense after she goes out, it's better to beat her to death with a stick."
Gu Jiu said lightly, "You handle it with discretion, don't beat people to death all at once."
Xu Yousi took the order, and with a wave of his hand, several small yellow doors blocked Aunt Tan's mouth, dragging her out.
Gu Teng's whole body was stiff, "This...she is father's concubine after all, so she can be dealt with directly without saying hello to father. Is it okay?"
Gu Jiu said softly: "You don't have to worry. If your father blames you afterwards, you can tell him what happened. If he feels sorry for Aunt Tan, tell him to come to the palace to find me."
Gu Cheng stomped anxiously, "I'm worried about you, my second sister. What if my father becomes angry and accuses you of being unfilial outside?"
Gu Jiu smiled contemptuously, "He doesn't dare! Serve the pen and ink, I'll leave him a letter. When he wakes up, I'll give it to him."
Mr. Gu is an official fan, how could he not even want an official position for a concubine.
Gu Jiu picked up the pen, brushed it, and quickly finished writing a letter.
She put the letter into the envelope and sealed it. Then hand it over to Gu Teng, "Remember to wait for him to wake up before handing it over to him. Remind him, if you don't want others to know, unless you don't do it yourself. Be careful next time you speak, the lives of the whole family are in his hands He is getting more and more confused to be instigated by Aunt Tan. Next time, I think he will go home directly!"
