Cough cough...

Master Gu lightly coughed twice, Second girl, pay attention to what you say.

Gu Jiu was very respectful, Father taught me.

Master Gu glanced at Xie again: Okay, this official knows that you are planning for the second girl.

Xie said with a stern face: Master knows that I have a good heart, so I am satisfied.

Master Gu said to Gu Jiu again, The wife's words still have some truth. There are too many young and bright maids in the palace. You don't have a competent maid by your side, so you're afraid of losing.

Gu Jiu lowered her head and smiled, Master Gu really had straight male thinking.

She solemnly said to Master Gu, What my father said is true. But my daughter has different ideas, and I don't know if I should say it or not.

tell me the story.

Gu Jiu said, Father said just now that there are too many young and bright maids in the palace, and he is right.

Thinking that Young Master Zhao was accustomed to seeing beauty since he was a child, and my father and wife kindly prepared maids for me to compete for favor, what kind of beauty can be compared with the large group of young and bright maids in the palace? What kind of beauty can enter the eyes of Gongzizhao?

As far as my daughter knows, those young maids in the palace must have good looks, talent and talent, not to mention the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

The daughter didn't know anything, so she married with two brightly colored maids. Are you really afraid of being compared by the maids of the palace and making a joke?

This? Master Gu looked hesitant.

The palace lacks everything, except for beautiful women.

Seeing that Master Gu was shaken, Gu Jiu struck while the iron was hot, and said, I appreciate the kindness of my father and wife. I thought it might be better to wait for me to marry and understand the situation. If you really need a maid to compete for favor, then ask your father and wife to come forward. It's not too late to choose two stunning maids to send to the palace.

Master Gu nodded secretly, Your thinking is very mature, there are too many beauties in the palace, you should first understand and then make a decision.

Xie Shi was not reconciled, and said, When the second girl needs a girl to compete for favor, where can I find someone temporarily? It's better to take advantage of the time now, and quickly find two stunning girls and bring them to the palace together.

Gu Jiu lowered her head and smiled sarcastically. Xie's biggest problem is that it looks too ugly.

She went straight to it, I really won't be in a hurry for those few days when I need a servant girl.

The wife is really joking.

Gu Jiu looked at Shi Xie with a half-smile, and reminded Shi Xie not to forget Aunt Tan.

Xie Shi was in a hurry, Second girl, I'm planning this for you too. After some kindness, I fed the donkey's liver and lungs.

Gu Jiu said, Thank you, my wife, for being kind enough to plan for me, but I don't need it.

you……

Okay, just say a few words.

Master Gu didn't give Xie's face, and directly interrupted Xie's unspoken words.

Xie shi frowned, complex light flashed in his eyes, and he was rarely relieved, I listen to the master.

Master Gu said to Gu Jiu, Listening to what you said, it seems that you have already thought clearly.

Gu Jiu bowed slightly, Father Miao Zan, married into the palace and became the grandson's wife, daughter dare not slack off for a day. If you don't ask for help for the family, at least don't cause trouble for the family.

Master Gu said approvingly: It's good for you to think so. You didn't waste your father's expectations for you. When you arrive at the palace, you should be more careful, look at more and talk less. Do whatever the princess asks you to do. You have a temper. Don't be too stubborn, don't let people say you have bad rules.

Daughter listens to her father, must abide by the rules, and dare not take a wrong step.

Gu Jiu's attitude is very good.

Ask her to listen to the words of the wangfei and the niece, and the wangfei and the niece will do whatever she says, how is it possible!

She's not an angry little daughter-in-law, and she is the most unpleasant person.

Master Gu took the dowry list and said, There are fewer people, but if you think it's enough, I won't force you.

Gu Jiu laughed, Thank you father for your support.

Master Gu said again: While there is still some time in the divorce period, take good care of your body and don't be tired. When the time comes, you will be married.

Time enters the coldest month of the year, the twelfth lunar month.

The wind is howling, and it snows early this year.

In such weather, I can't wait to stay in the room for twelve hours a day.

The brazier was burning in the room, which was very warm.

There are only a few days left until the wedding date. The eldest wife, Mrs. Zhang, and the first and youngest grandmother, Mrs. Zhang, have already started to prepare for the wedding.

Gu Jiu got married, and Master Gu booked a banquet for fifty tables. He invited all his classmates, friends, and officials. It was lively and lively.

It is not easy to prepare a feast for fifty tables, and it is winter again.

The banquet cannot be placed outdoors, only indoors.

The three flower halls can only hold thirty tables at most.

Fortunately, the male guests are eating in the outer courtyard.

Thirty tables can also be placed in the garden hall in the outer courtyard.

It is estimated that some guests will not come, but some guests may come uninvited. Mrs. Zhang asked the kitchen to prepare three more tables of banquets.

Mrs. Xie picked up the guest list and looked at it, Is it necessary to invite all my family members who are far away from each other? Is it necessary?

The eldest wife, Mrs. Zhang, said, Your brother and sister have an opinion on the list drawn up by your master. Let your master go.

Xie snorted, These clansmen come to the door, and they have to fight the autumn wind. Sister-in-law, are you ready?

The eldest Mrs. Zhang said, Don't worry, I have already prepared.

As for which clansmen will take the opportunity to fight the autumn wind, Zhang's heart is clear.

After all, having been the wife of the house for so many years, she can handle these poor relatives with ease.

Mrs Xie continued to browse the guest list, Servant of the Ministry of Rites, the whole family is here. Why haven't I heard my master mention this family before?

The eldest wife, Mrs. Zhang, laughed, I don't know about this.

Xie saw a familiar name on the list, Su Zheng, I can understand, what's going on with this Second Master Su? When did the Su family come to the capital, why don't I know?

When Xie Shi saw the name of Master Su Er, his expression changed.

The eldest wife, Mrs. Zhang, glanced at the list, It is indeed Master Su Er. I heard that I have just arrived in the capital and have already met my second brother at the Yamen.

Xie's face was ashen, The Su family is too embarrassed to call themselves the first of a scholarly family. When they come to the capital, they don't even know how to greet them.

The Su family has two uncles and nephews in the capital, and there are no female relatives by their side. How can they come to see their younger brothers and sisters. It is very suitable to go directly to the yamen to see the second brother.

Mrs Xie gritted her teeth, Even if you don't come to see me, shouldn't you ask about the second girl? Shouldn't you ask Gu Jun about it?

The eldest wife, Mrs. Zhang, looked at Mrs. Xie with a half-smile but not a smile, The second master of the Su family went to the capital, why did the younger brother and sister react so much? Gu Jun was trained in the military camp, and when the second girl got married, the two of them would be able to see each other. As for the second girl's situation, it will be clear if you ask the second brother.

Xie was so angry that he threw the list on the table.

In this list, there are Su's family, all relatives and friends, but Xie's family is not.

Mrs. Zhang picked up the list, When Shan'er gets married, the younger siblings will invite all the Xie family members, and none of the Su family members are clear, so it's okay. What's the point of this.

Mrs. Xie stared at Mrs. Zhang, Sister-in-law put it simply. You are not in my position, how can you understand my difficulties. When the second girl got married, relatives and friends saw that there was no one in the Xie family. How will everyone talk about it then? How can I have any face to speak of?

Mrs. Zhang gave Xie's advice, Just tell everyone that the Xie family is in the period of filial piety and it is inconvenient to attend the wedding banquet.

Mrs. Xie was stunned for a moment, Mrs. Zhang was right, the Xie family was in the period of filial piety, and it was indeed inconvenient to attend the wedding banquet.

It's just that Xie's heart is still very unhappy.

She grabbed the handkerchief, and the handkerchief was almost torn by her.

Master Su Er didn't even say hello, and ran to the capital. Maybe he came to fight the autumn wind.

Mr. Zhang rolled his eyes, despising Mr. Xie in his heart.

Even if the Su family is desperate, they won't come to our Gu family to fight the autumn breeze. Brother and sister, you think too much.

Xie sneered, Why is it impossible. Back then, when we were still in the northwest, that kid Su Zheng deliberately went around in a big circle, not just to hit the autumn wind.

Mrs Zhang asked, Did the younger brother and sister give you money?

Xie choked.

Although she knew that Su Zheng came to fight the autumn breeze, she really never gave a copper plate.

Xie's mouth was stubborn, I didn't give it, but my master definitely gave it.

Zhang Shi sneered, I don't know how much trouble the second brother gave Su Zheng?

Xie said, It's just more or less.

Mrs. Zhang laughed, Brother and sister, I advise you not to talk nonsense about things you don't know, so as not to cause misunderstanding. How did I hear that when Su Zheng was in Jinzhou, he only cared about copying books every day. I want the entanglement prepared by the second brother.

Who did you listen to? Did the second girl talk nonsense in front of you to save face for the Su family?

Mr. Zhang shook his head, When I checked the list with Gu Quan two days ago, I talked about the Su family. Gu Quan told me personally that Su Zheng didn't ask for a penny from his second brother.

Xie shi frowned, How is it possible? Su Zheng is a poor man. He pretends to be arrogant and doesn't bother, does he want to starve to death?

Mrs. Zhang smiled and said, Young Master Su didn't starve to death. I heard that I rented two rooms in the capital, so I can study with peace of mind.

Xie Shi sneered, These scholars like to pretend to be aloof, and they want to save face and suffer.

Mrs. Zhang was too lazy to gossip with Mrs. Xie, Since the brothers and sisters in the list have already seen it, if there is no problem, I will go to work first.

Xie nodded.

When Mrs. Zhang left, Mrs. Xie called Gao Sanfu, Go and find out where Su Zheng's kid lives. I heard that the second master of the Su family also went to the capital. Try to find out why the second master of the Su family went to the capital. thing.

Little obedience.

While the Xie family was thinking about the Su family's affairs, Gu Jiu sneaked out of the house and came to the small courtyard that Su Zheng rented in Nancheng.

Originally, Su Zheng rented two rooms, and the rent was cheap.

Master Su Er went to the capital, and Su Zhengcai rented a small courtyard again.

Seeing Master Su Er, Gu Jiu quickly stepped forward to greet him, I have seen Er Uncle.

Master Su Er was very excited, Get up, get up quickly. As soon as I received your letter, I hurriedly hurry up, and finally got to the capital before the canal freezes.

Gu Jiu smiled sweetly, Second uncle has worked hard, you are tired and you have to run to the capital in winter.

Master Su Er waved his hands again and again, I should thank you. If it weren't for your help, the family wouldn't have a good New Year's Eve.

Gu Jiu said with a smile: Fat and water don't fall into the fields of outsiders. If there is a good thing, it is natural to think of the two uncles.

This time Master Su Er came to the capital mainly to deliver medicinal materials.

The ancestral home of the Su family is rich in medicinal materials.

When Gu Jiu wanted to open a drug store, he thought of his two uncles who were idle at home.

She asked Song Zheng to take the money to the ancestral home of the Su family to find the two uncles.

Although the Su family was in decline, it was a success for several generations back then.

The Su family came forward to buy the medicinal materials for Gu Jiu, which could not only ensure the quality, but also reduce the price, without worrying about being bullied by the local snakes, which naturally saved a lot of things.

Gu Jiu had a heart to take care of the two uncles, and he agreed from the beginning that he would make a price difference for the two uncles and distribute the medicinal materials to her according to the market price.

Worried that the two uncles would not accept it, Gu Jiu specially wrote a long letter there. He also encouraged Su Zheng to write a letter home to persuade the Su family.

Only then did Master Su Er personally go to the capital to deliver the medicinal materials.

With Song Zheng escorting him all the way, and the official documents that Gu Yu obtained for Gu Jiu, they arrived in the capital smoothly all the way.

With Gu Jiu's care, the Su family finally improved this year.

Therefore, Master Su Er sincerely thanked Gu Jiu, his niece.

Su Zheng made and poured tea himself.

Cousin Xiaojiu, please have some tea.

Gu Jiu smiled and said, Cousin Su is polite. Cousin Su also sit down and talk.

Su Zheng nodded and sat down next to Master Su Er.

Master Su Er was very concerned about Gu Jiu's medicinal herb shop and worried about Gu Jiu's debts.

Xiao Jiu, is the finished medicine shop you mentioned in your letter open?

Gu Jiu shook his head, Not yet.

Mr. Su Er suddenly became worried, So many herbs, what should I do?

Gu Jiu smiled and said: Second uncle, don't worry, the shop has already been found, just wait for your batch of medicinal materials to arrive in the capital, and choose an auspicious day to open.

Master Su Er heaved a sigh of relief, Xiao Jiu, don't blame your uncle for being so talkative, this patent medicine business is not easy to do. You need an experienced doctor to sit in the town, and you need to have a few pharmacies in town.

Gu Jiu said: Don't worry, uncle, an experienced doctor has been found, and it is guaranteed to be reliable. We also have the pharmacy in the town store. We will only be able to open the business after waiting for the auspicious day.

Master Su Er was completely relieved now, the muscles on his cheeks slackened, and even his gray beard looked relaxed.

Su Zheng filled Master Su Er's teacup with water and said softly, Uncle, don't worry about sister Xiaojiu. Sister Xiaojiu will soon marry into the palace. With the status of the grandson's wife, no one dares to make trouble in her patent medicine shop. , the business will be up and running soon.”

Master Su Er is not as optimistic as Su Zheng, but he has seen the struggle in the court, and he has also seen how the Kaiyao Emperor bloody suppressed the royal family.

In those years, the blood shed by the royal family could fill the entire Xingqing Palace.

The fall of the Su family can be said to be inextricably linked with the purge of the royal family.

Master Su Er stroked his beard and washed his white robe, the sleeves of which were already off the thread.

He said: I still have some impressions of King Ning. He was also a very talented and learned person back then, and he had a tendency to overwhelm His Royal Highness. Later, when something happened, King Ning became more and more absurd. The most absurd. Once, he slept the maid of Xingqing Palace.

ah?

King Ning is really dying. Even the palace maids beside the emperor, he dared to interfere.

Master Su Er continued: That time, King Ning was beaten half to death and locked in a small room in the imperial mausoleum for a whole year.

Later, it was King Ning who bought the people around the emperor and was able to return to the capital.

Because of this incident, the emperor didn't care how many absurd things Ning Wang did later.

Now that I think about it, it is not necessarily absurd that the palace maid of King Ning's involvement in Xingqing Palace, it may also be intentional, put it to death and then live.

And this?

Gu Jiu was speechless, and at the same time admired King Ning's courage and strategy.

King Ning has set his lower limit from the very beginning, which is equivalent to giving the emperor a vaccination in advance. Since then, all his absurd behaviors are nothing compared to the maids who have been involved in Xingqing Palace.

The Son of Heaven has accepted King Ning's lower limit. As long as this lower limit is not exceeded, whatever King Ning kills, the Son of Heaven will not do anything to him. Instead, he will indulge him.

It's like a person who has all the five poisons, and suddenly he doesn't gamble or poison, only Huang is left. At this time, his family and friends have nothing to tolerate.

Not only tolerant, but also said that his prodigal son turned back.

King Ning dared to gamble on this, and it was a right bet.

Master Su Er solemnly reminded Gu Jiu, King Ning, your grandfather said back then that the city is deep and ruthless. He is ruthless to others, and even more ruthless to himself.

Xiaojiu, after you marry into the palace, you must remember that you must not offend His Royal Highness Prince Ning. For anything related to King Ning, don't come forward, let the son of a prince come forward.

Gu Jiu got up and thanked Master Su Er, Thank you second uncle for reminding me, I will keep it in my heart.

Even Mama Fang didn't know what Master Su said just now.

After all, Mother Fang's sight is only in the harem, the inner house. She doesn't know anything about matters in the courtroom.
