Heroic Wife Reborn

277 Gu Fu's Economic Crisis

They didn't leave, Old Wu said to Gu Xingnuo.

Gu Xingnuo nodded, even if these veterans want to leave, go to Wangxiangguan, how will they live if they have no money? To another village? There are not many fertile fields at the border. Which village will take in outsiders? Leaving the frontier? This group of people is old, disabled, and still dragging their families, how can they travel far?

At this time, the housekeeper said that the hot water was ready.

Go wash it up, Gu Xingnuo patted Old Wu on the shoulder, and said warmly to several veterans, Change into clothes, have a full meal, we'll talk about it tomorrow.

The old Wutou said: Young Master...

I know about this. Gu Xingnuo waved his hand at the old Wu, and said in a low voice, Leave it to me. In short, our Gu family will not leave everyone alone. Farmland, as long as you are willing to work, you will come back. , don’t worry, I know it well.”

Old Wu had a guilty expression on his face, but after listening to Gu Dashao's words, the old soldier's heart was settled.

Housekeeper, Gu Xingnuo instructed the housekeeper, You accompany them down and take good care of them.

The butler hurriedly answered yes.

The first few people in the old Wu got up, saluted the old man and the two young masters, and followed the housekeeper.

Gu Xingyan asked after Lao Wu's first few left, Who the hell sent troops to destroy our Zhuangzi?

Zhao Qiuming, Gu Xingnuo said, Or someone who wants to curry favor with Zhao Qiuming.

Damn it! Gu Xingyan cursed.

It's not difficult to find out, Gu Xingnuo leaned back on the couch again, pressing his hand on the bruised area of ​​his ribs, with a painful expression on his face.

Gu Xingyan hurriedly said, Brother, how are you doing?

The old man hurriedly said: Second brother, go and see, why is the doctor not here yet?

Gu Xingyan ran out of the study.

The old man walked up to Gu Xingnuo, stretched out his hand to touch the place where Gu Xingnuo was pressing, and asked, Is this where the injury happened?

Gu Xingnuo nodded, and whispered: Grandfather, the family has no money, how will Lao Wu arrange it?

The old man sat on the edge of the couch, sighed and said: I still have some money, I will use it for you first.

Young Master Gu knows how much money is left in the family. The money the old man mentioned is probably the coffin of him and the old lady.

Don't worry about it, the old man said, It's time to let the second child take care of things. You are right. You can't let him stop asking about anything.

Gu Xingnuo smiled wryly, and said, Grandfather, your money cannot be moved.

Nonsense! The old man glared, Is my money boiled with potion? Will it kill you if you use it?

Grandfather, Gu Xingnuo said with a sigh of relief, You have to bring money to the township gate. Suddenly there are 100,000 extra soldiers and horses, and there is no food and grass. You have to spend this money on the army.

The old man was sullen and didn't speak.

It's better to be in arrears in the army. There will always be a time to pay, Gu Xingnuo said, But if there is no food in the army and the soldiers are left hungry, there will be chaos in the army. It is a great crime of my family.

You mean, I have to buy grain from the capital? the old man said.

Gu Xingnuo said: It's okay to buy along the way, but you must buy as much as you want in Beijing. In this way, we don't have to say it, and some officials will report our Gu's excessive purchase of grain to the court. In this way, the Holy Majesty will ask himself Well, let's talk about it again, it can't be regarded as our Gu family suing imperial court.

The old man thought about the elder grandson's words, pointed at Gu Xingnuo, and said, You have a heart.

No matter how thoughtful I am, I can't make money. Gu Xingnuo still smiled wryly, and said, Without money, what should I do in Zhuangzi? Counting women and children, there are thousands of people in Zhuangzi.

At this time, Gu Xingyan brought the doctor in and said, Grandfather, brother, the doctor is here.

The old man patted Gu Xingnuo on the shoulder and said in a low voice, Let's see a doctor first.

The doctor sat down to take Gu Xingnuo's pulse, and his expression gradually became serious. Young Master Gu's injury is serious.

Gu Xingyan said to the old man, Grandpa, I'll go back to my room.

The old man said, What's the matter?

Gu Er Shao hesitated for a long time, but did not say why.

Okay, you go, finally the old man became impatient, waved Gu Xingyan's hand, and let him go.

Brother, I'll come over as soon as I go back to my room, Gu Xingyan said hello to his elder brother again, and ran out of the study.

Mrs. Lin was sitting in the room doing needlework, while Gu Xu was already fast asleep in the nurse's arms.

Gu Xingyan pushed the door open and entered the room, looked at the nanny and said, Take Xu'er back to the room and go to sleep.

The nanny hurriedly hugged little Gu Xu and left.

Mrs. Lin stood up and said, Sir, what happened?

Are you still expecting accidents to happen every day in the mansion? Gu Xingyan said angrily.

Mrs. Lin smiled hurriedly, walked up to Gu Ershao, and said, Okay, okay, it's my concubine who said something wrong, what's wrong with my husband?

Where's our money? Gu Xingyan said, How much is there in total, you can give it to me together.

Mrs. Lin was taken aback, and said, What is your husband suddenly asking for money for?

Gu Xingyan briefly talked about the destruction of Zhuangzi in Guannei, and said, I know from my elder brother that the family has no money.

Mrs. Lin didn't express anything on her face, but she felt uncomfortable in her heart. The mansion has no money, so they have to use their private house to pay for it?

What are you still doing standing there? Gu Xingyan said, Take out the money.

Master, Mrs. Lin said, the house has only been ransacked not long ago, how much money can we have in this house?

Gu Xingyan's face sank, and he said, Mr. Lin, I don't care about money, but I know it well. When the family property is returned, the eldest brother and sister-in-law will return our share. We don't have to spend our own money for food and clothing. You Where did that money go?

Mrs. Lin said: Master, if there is this money, but you have to ask the eldest brother, how much did you give us in total?

Gu Xingyan was taken aback, and said, What do you mean? Can my elder brother be greedy for our money? My elder brother is not that kind of person, stop talking nonsense to me!

Mrs. Lin hurriedly said: What do you mean by being a concubine? When the third brother got married, it was all your two elder brothers' money, and the grandfather and grandmother's share. The sister-in-law said no, so she returned it. As for the mother's money , the eldest brother and sister-in-law also returned. Xianggong, the third brother is Princess Shang, the money went out like water, and now Xianggong asks for money from the concubine, will the concubine turn into money?

Gu Xingyan glanced at his wife, got up and rummaged in the room, and said to Mrs. Lin: It's fine if you don't have money, but at worst, I'll take out all the things in our house and buy them, as long as you have money, it's fine.

The days are over? Mrs. Lin was anxious when she saw Gu Xingyan like this, and asked after Gu Ershao.

Gu Xingyan turned around, looked at Mrs. Lin with a cold gaze, and said, Where's the money?
