Malicious Medical Princess of the Marquis House

In the past few days, Gu Jiu has been depressed.

The Son of Heaven wanted to set up Xinmin County outside Nancheng Gate, and Gu Jiu raised his hands to support it.

There are more and more people outside the South City Gate, and relying on her escort team alone, there is a serious shortage of personnel.

In the event of an accident, the officials in the government could not arrive in time.

But the Minister of the Ministry of Housing was born to do things for her

The Ministry of Household wanted to collect taxes at the market outside Nancheng Gate. She did not object. It was a matter of time.

However, in addition to collecting taxes, the Ministry of Household wanted to take the opportunity to intervene in the management of the market. Gu Jiu firmly opposed it.

Household Tax Cao only collects taxes, and the market management office will take care of the other matters. If the cooking is not clean, it will not be too late to ask the government to come forward.

There is no precedent for this. All the markets in the capital are under the jurisdiction of the government. When Xinmin County is established, the markets outside Nancheng Gate will be under the management of the government as usual.

Ha ha!

Gu Jiu disagreed, I understand that Lord Shangshu wants to send someone to take over the market outside the Nancheng Gate. But I doubt the integrity of the officials. The reason why the market outside the Nancheng Gate can develop is that Because it has never relied on government management, it did not rely on it in the past, and it will not rely on it in the future.”

Mrs. Zhao, are you trying to be above the law?

Gu Jiu raised her eyebrows and smiled, Do you want to collect taxes? Do you want to collect a lot of taxes? You send people to manage the bazaar, are you sure you can collect more taxes than now? Are you sure the people below will not kill chickens and get their eggs?

The minister of households snorted, Mrs. Zhao, don't think of the officials of the tax bureau so dirty.

Gu Jiu smiled and said, Your Excellency is old and strong, and you can work for another ten or twenty years without any accident. Your Excellency never thought of going further? Xinmin County is the cornerstone for Your Excellency to go up. Your Excellency is sure to give this cornerstone to destroyed?

It's not as serious as you say.

Gu Jiu said: Is it as serious as I said, the adults know better than anyone else. My people manage the market, that is, I hope that the market will become more and more prosperous, and more and more merchants will come to Xinmin County to do business. Business.

The people from the household department are in charge of the market, and they are looking forward to making a little more money this month than last month. As for whether the market is hot or not, they don't care. Anyway, there's nothing to do here, it's a big deal to change the place as an errand. If the market collapses, it will not affect their salary.

The minister of households frowned, You just can't trust people from the government?

My lord misunderstood me.

If I can't trust the government, how can I cooperate with the government. I just can't trust the people who do things below. Rather than sending people from the Ministry of Households to manage the market, it is better for me to send people to manage the bazaars.

You just don't want to hand over power. The Minister of the Chamber of Commerce revealed the truth in one sentence.

Gu Jiu smiled softly and did not deny it, Outside the Nancheng Gate, it will take at least five or ten years to build. In these ten years, I hope that the Nancheng Gate can be under my control without any constraints.

After ten years, the Nancheng Gate is beginning to take shape. At that time, I will take the initiative to hand over the management rights and let the government take over without the adults reminding me.

The Minister of Accountability frowned, It will take ten years?

Ten years, I think it's too short. It's better for the adults to allow me to operate for thirty or fifty years.

Humph!

The Minister of the Household waved his hand, It's only ten years, more than one day will not do.

Gu Jiu smiled happily, Then it's settled. Please also ask the adults to give me a paper, so that I can have a law to follow.

You can't trust the old man?

My lord is joking, how can I not trust your lord. This is just in case. As the saying goes, if the name is not justified, the name can be justified. When we do things, we must pay attention to the source.

You can speak with such a mouth, but the old man can't speak to you. Forget it, the old man will give you an official document.

The Minister of the Household compromised.

Satisfied, Gu Jiu took a piece of paper and said thank you before leaving.

After leaving the signing room, he saw Gu Yu guarding the door.

Gu fourth brother! Why don't you say a word when you come, let's go, let's go out and find a place to talk.

Gu Jiu was in a good mood and saw Gu Yu with a bright smile on her face.

Gu Yu was also in good spirits when it came to happy events, so he followed Gu Jiu out of the yamen and asked for a private room in the teahouse to sit down.

Congratulations to Brother Gu for being the first county magistrate of Xinmin County.

Gu Yu immediately got up and bowed to thank him.

Gu Jiu hurriedly avoided, What is Gu Fourth Brother doing?

Although little sister Xiaojiu doesn't say it, I also know that with my qualifications, to be the magistrate of Xinmin County, little sister Xiaojiu must have contributed a lot. Otherwise, such a good opportunity will definitely not be my turn.

Gu Yu saw it clearly.

Gu Jiu laughed, Fourth Brother Gu, don't be polite to me, you sit down and talk first. I admit, I did help a little bit in this matter. But I also have selfishness.

I hope that fourth brother Gu will lead everyone in the county government to fully cooperate with my plan after he becomes the magistrate of Xinmin County.

In addition, I have a few people on hand, and I want to arrange to be a clerk in the county government. I also ask fourth brother Gu to make it convenient.

Gu Yu said with a smile: Don't worry, little sister Xiaojiu, feel free to report your people. I can still arrange a few small officials. It is not a problem to cooperate with your plan.

I think the people above agreed to put me in the position of magistrate of Xinmin County, and also hope that I can fully cooperate with you, resettle more refugees, and develop Xinmin County.

Gu Jiu smiled and said, Second brother Gu really sees it clearly. Your county government office will not start construction until after the new year. During this time, if fourth brother Gu is free, he might as well go to the public house in the market to work. Cao is also there.

In the future, fourth brother Gu will have to deal with those tax officials often, so now he takes the opportunity to build a good relationship. In the future, when the county government is established, the two sides will be able to cooperate better.

Gu Yu nodded, It's still sister Xiaojiu who is thoughtful. I've been free recently. From tomorrow onwards, I'll go to the market every day as an errand, just to know the situation in Xinmin County in advance.

Gu Jiu laughed, When fourth brother Gu takes office, I will give you something good.

What? Gu Yu was curious.

Gu Jiu didn't sell anything, and said directly: Xinmin County's pamphlet on population tax and land.

Gu Yu was overjoyed, this booklet was more valuable than any gift. It means that he has already figured out the basic situation of Xinmin County before he officially took office. If someone wants to coax him in the future, he will have to weigh whether he has the ability.

Thank you little sister Xiaojiu.

Gu Yu solemnly thanked him.

Gu Jiu pursed her lips and smiled, Second brother Gu is fine, but in front of his own family, he is too polite.

Gu Yu smiled embarrassedly.

After discussing the business, Gu Jiu asked about family affairs again.

How is my father these days?

My lord is okay. I'm just a little unwilling to be lonely. But if I want to keep my filial piety, I can only be trapped in the mansion all day, and I can't go out for the time being.

Mr. Gu's filial piety has not yet passed, and he has to arrange Gu Shan's marriage. Mr. Gu is really not good at going out and meeting friends during this time, and it is too eye-catching.

Gu Jiu smiled and said, My father deserves to be scolded.

Over the years, Master Gu's overall fortune has been very smooth. Also because it was too smooth, Master Gu was less cautious and more arrogant.

Taking advantage of his filial piety and grinding his temperament, it is very good.

Gu Yu thought about it for a while, and said, I don't know if your lord has sent you a letter.

What's the matter? Gu Jiu had received letters from Master Gu during this period of time, and the letters were all homely.

Gu Yu guessed that Mr. Gu was embarrassed to say it directly on the letter, so he vaguely mentioned, Because of the affairs of the Cai family, the adults are a little worried. They are also in-laws in the palace, so I'm afraid I feel the same way.

Gu Jiu was stunned for a moment, then laughed again.

I didn't know that he would be so guilty. The Cai family's case actually frightened him.

Gu Yu coughed lightly, In officialdom, there are always times when you can't help yourself.

Gu Jiu smiled knowingly, Don't pay attention to his guilty conscience, it's better to use the Cai family to scare him.

Cai's case? Gu Yu asked in a low voice.

Gu Jiu shook his head, I won't be able to find out in a while. We won't have any news until next spring at the earliest.

So this time the Cai family is more fortunate?

Gu Jiu nodded, Almost.

It is because more and more witnesses and physical evidence have emerged that this case has been delayed again and again.

King Ning was determined to make the Cai family's case an iron one, so that no one would ever think about overturning the case. Therefore, it takes a lot of effort to collect evidence.

King Ning didn't want to be overturned in a few years because of insufficient evidence, and he would be severely beaten in the face.

It's just that after all, it was a case from 20 years ago, and the evidence is not so easy to collect.

Fortunately, King Ning was patient, even if the case took a year or two to be tried, it would be fine, as long as the iron case could be done.

All the adult males of the Cai family, except one or two scholars, were imprisoned.

The female family members and children were trapped in the mansion and were not allowed to go out. Only domestic servants are allowed to go out to buy food utensils.

The Cai family was in turmoil, and the world held high and stepped down.

The third wife, Mrs. Cai, went back to her mother's house, but was scolded by her mother's nose.

If it hadn't been for the poisoning of Mammy Xu beside her, how could the case from twenty years ago have been uncovered.

In the eyes of the Cai family, the third wife, Mrs. Cai, is the sinner of the Cai family, a broom star.

As the third son's health gradually improved, Princess Pei made the decision and arranged two concubines for the third son. They are all lovely people who came out of the palace, with good family backgrounds and good looks.

Gu Jiu returned to the palace, got off the carriage at the second gate, and heard the new gossip from the concierge.

Gu Jiu asked the old woman, Has the person been sent to the third room?

Send it away. The servants went to see them. They are very handsome, and they are better than the three ladies. The servants also heard that the two of them used to work in Changchun Palace and served in front of Concubine Shu.

Gu Jiu laughed, Those who have served in front of Concubine Shu are respectable.

Who said it wasn't. There is a discussion in the house. The third room is going to change soon, and the two new concubines will be in charge.

Gu Jiu shook his head and returned to the East Court first.

After a while, the fourth lady, Xiao Qin'er, went to the East Court to chat with Gu Jiu.

As for the second wife, Ouyang Fu, she went to another hospital to recuperate, and it is estimated that she will not return until the 30th year.

Xiao Qin'er has recently made up her mind with Gu Jiu, and she communicates more frequently.

Gu Jiu is a person who is good at talking, but also not good at talking.

As long as Xiao Qin'er doesn't show off in front of her, she doesn't mind Xiao Qin'er coming over to sit and chatting about gossip in the capital.

In the end, although Gu Jiu didn't like Xiao Qin'er, he didn't hate her that much. You can still chat.

Xiao Qin'er entered the small study, leaned against the soft slump, her whole body sank into it, and she felt very comfortable.

There are tea cups, pine nuts, melon seeds, peanuts, pastries and other snacks on the low table.

Xiao Qin'er nibbled on the melon seeds and chatted with Gu Jiu.

The concubine sent someone to send the two concubines to the third room, and the third sister-in-law cried in front of the third son.

Crying? Gu Jiu was surprised.

Xiao Qin'er laughed, Sister-in-law is also surprised, isn't it? Sister-in-law 3 has committed suicide by hanging herself in the past, and it looks like a violent one. Now I don't know what's wrong, and I'm going to cry every now and then.

Gu Jiu asked, The third younger brother and sister cried, what was the third son's reaction?

Xiao Qin'er smiled, How could he react? He almost lost his life because of the third sister-in-law's dowry, and he didn't remember that the third sister-in-law had already done her best, so why would she be concubine because the third sister-in-law cried a lot? Go outside. Besides, the third son is not too young, but he has no children and half daughters, so he is very anxious to come.

Gu Jiu asked, Is the third sibling's body still healthy? Did the imperial doctor say if she can give birth?

Xiao Qin'er shook her head, The third sister-in-law's body can be maintained well, but it may be difficult to give birth. After all, she has been poisoned by poison for so many years.

If the third wife Cai's childbirth is difficult, the third son may not be spared.

If the third son wants to have a child, he will not be able to do it for a while.

At least a year or two.

Second Young Master has recently taken care of himself, and has been accompanying the Second Sister-in-law all day to recuperate in the other courtyard. Xiao Qin'er laughed first after she finished speaking.

Gu Jiu said, If they want a heir, they should pay more attention.

But the second son's concubine has been diagnosed with a three-month pregnancy. If the eldest son is born, the second house will be lively.

Xiao Qin'er was a little gloat about misfortune.

Concubine eldest son, take the way of disaster.

It's not that Ouyang Fu can't give birth.

If you can give birth to the eldest daughter, you can naturally give birth to the eldest son.

It's a pity that the second son was too anxious before, and was in a hurry to let the concubine get pregnant in front of Ouyang Fu.

If the second room gave birth to the eldest son, King Ning would definitely be unhappy.

Therefore, Xiao Qin'er took some schadenfreude for the second room and the couple. I wish that the concubine of the second room would be a man in one fell swoop.

Don't look at King Ning's disregard for women's sex, and he once spent a lot of money in the brothel. There are dozens of women in the backyard. But King Ning still cared about his concubines.

In the first few years of Ning Wang and Pei's marriage, Ning Wang has always been restrained.

It was not until Pei's eldest son was born that King Ning let go of the mess.

After doing this, many concubines and concubines were created.

Gu Jiu smiled and said, If the eldest son is really born, then there is nothing you can do. What you sow will reap what.

The second son has been looking forward to his son for several years, and naturally he will not destroy the child in the womb of the concubine.

In case Ouyang Fu was not pregnant, or had a daughter after her pregnancy, he would have a son under his knees anyway.

These days, having a son or not is always different.

Xiao Qin'er was here with Gu Jiu, drank three cups of tea, ate a plate of melon seeds and a plate of pine nuts, thinking about her eldest brother, and finally left reluctantly.

Gu Jiu asked Mother Fang to take her out.

The little girl came in to clear the table.

Qingmei waited by Gu Jiu's side, Could it be that the fourth lady changed her temper during this time, and ran to our east courtyard every three days.

If she is willing to come, let her come. As long as she doesn't say anything offensive. Gu Jiu's attitude was straightforward.

As long as Xiao Qiner is not petty, he can still communicate with each other.

She is the daughter of the Xiao family and is well-informed.

She knows the gossip of many big families.

Just like Princess Fuya was looking for a marriage for her son Huang Qubing, Xiao Qiner was the first to tell Gu Jiu.

Princess Fuya took a fancy to Liu Hua, the third girl in Prince Ning's mansion, but worried that Prince Ning would not agree to the marriage.

So I wanted to invite someone, first ask Ning Wang and Pei's meaning.

If there is no objection, the two will see each other.

If you object, you will skip this step.

Princess Fuya thought about it, and found that the Princess Huyang is the most suitable for this matter.

It's just that there is a lot of filth between her and the county master of Huyang, and Princess Huyang also had the idea of ​​a concubine, so Princess Fuya felt very uncomfortable.

Just for the sake of her son's marriage, Princess Fuya compromised.

After sending someone to invite Huyang County Master to have a drink, and to give some benefits, Huyang County Master agreed to help her find out what Prince Ning and Pei's meant.

On this day, the Huyang County Master dressed up and came to Ning Wangfu.

As usual, I went to Chunhe Hall to meet Pei first.

Pei's mood is good, and she is about to win the Weiyang Palace, and everyone is pleasing to the eye.

Even looking at the Huyang County Master is more pleasing to the eye than usual.

Of course, pleasing to the eye does not mean speaking in a kind manner.

Mr. Pei preemptively said, There is still half a month before the Chinese New Year, what are you doing here? If you want to fight the autumn wind, the palace has no money for you. This year, the prince alone has spent a lot of money, and the gaps have not been filled yet. .

The Lord of Huyang County squinted at Mrs. Pei, Sister-in-law is too underestimated. I'm not here to fight the autumn wind, I'm here to protect the media.
