The way to suppress the villain brother

Yan Zhen put down the chopsticks, and whispered a few words to his elder brother, his elder brother immediately had a look of comprehension, but after a while, he was worried again, and asked: "Can this go on?" Yan Zhen replied: "It shouldn't be a problem. You just have to do it step by step. If there is something else, we will talk about it."

This night, after the two of them finished their meals in this wing, Gu Qingcheng stayed there, just like the previous time in Qingcheng Villa.There are no servants in Yan Zhen's courtyard, and the servants who come to this courtyard to do daily work such as sweeping and cleaning all live on the hill opposite to this mountain. For those in the past, they did not live in the owner's yard.

After living there for two days, Gu Qingcheng realized that there was a small road between the two mountains that he turned around. On both sides of the small road were hillsides on both sides. Servants and artisans live here.There are only three yards built on the hillside where Yan Zhen lives, but only one yard is used for people to live in. Although the other two yards have furnishings, they are not used for people. They are used to store some things used by the village for alchemy.Some servants live on the hillside opposite the side where Yan Zhen lives, and there are two yards on the side where the servants live are used as ingredients rooms.

Gu Qingcheng also discovered that the hillside where they live is especially densely forested and verdant, and many trees are the same as the tree in their yard, evergreen all year round.After asking, he found out that it was a silver osmanthus, and Yan Zhen told him that in autumn, the smell of the mountains is very good. The color of the flower is much lighter than that of the golden osmanthus, but the taste is not as weak as that of the golden osmanthus.

Gu Qingcheng lived in this Yan family village for about ten days, and according to what Yan Zhen told him, he sent a letter home, writing: My son is generally safe in this village, and when Junior Brother Yan saw me for the first time, he was really like his father. At the beginning, I was worried, and I was a little evasive.After getting along for a few days, I still miss the old friendship, so I took me to visit his village several times. I saw that there is a powder made of gold-tin alloy mixed with Gui in his place, which is used in large quantities. All kinds of weapons are just on other people's Zhuangzi, so it's not convenient to use materials to try them out, and I don't know what's so good about them.Let Xu Fu, the coachman, take the letter home now, and my father can let the second brother try this method.

After he finished writing this letter home, he asked Xu Fu, the coachman of his family, to take the letter home and send it home, as if he was afraid that the people from the Yan family village would open the letter privately for reading on the way to the post office in the city. like.On Xu Fu's return trip, because he drove fast at the beginning, he arrived in just over a month, not as long as it took nearly [-] days when he came to the south.After Master Gu folded the letter to read it, he immediately sent his second son to try this method, and a few days later, he sent people to the city and several nearby towns to inquire about the alloy weapons in Yanjiazhai. price, and then began to want to use the way of lowering the price to win the weapons of Yanjiazhai.No, after more than a month, their business has really improved a lot.

For more than a month since Master Gu received the family letter from his eldest son, he has been preoccupied with the livelihood of his family farm, ordered his second son to personally verify the method of refining alloys in Yanjiazhai, and It is to send people to inquire about the price, it is to forge weapons for new alloys, and it is to solicit business.He was so busy that he almost forgot about his eldest son who was still staying on the south side.

After that, another half month passed, and he received another letter from Gu Qingcheng. This letter was naturally another piece of news that he "painstakingly" found in Yan's village. Master Gu was naturally happy to read it. , put it to good use immediately.But Mr. Gu was happy, but Mrs. Lin was not happy to go there, she just talked about her son living in the south, and she didn't know if he would be used to it, and after his junior brother found out about this kind of probing, how could there be any good results for him? He eats, and so on.Gu Zhuangzhu didn't worry about this, but said that Yan Zhen would not be a person who would not miss old feelings, so there would be no danger, and besides, the inside information Qingcheng found was not that big of a deal.He knew in his heart that the news inside the Yan Family Village was all important news, but he still refused to admit it, and only tried to persuade his wife that way.

Mrs. Lin once mentioned to her master that it would be better to let the third girl marry over there, and the two families would become one family. Wouldn't it be possible to find out the truth about the village with a daughter on the other side?But the owner of the villa Gu did not accept it, and only said: "Which one of the third and fourth girls understands this matter, Qingcheng is the most suitable place in the whole village. His younger brother also has a family and a business, so there is no way to send him there. The two girls' families don't know much about this. I can go, but I don't have a name. What kind of name should I use to go to the south? Only Qingcheng has had such a relationship with Yan Zhen for several months. , you can have a name in the past. Moreover, if you marry your daughter, you will be a member of the family. One is that they don’t understand these things of refining gold and iron, and the other is that their daughter’s family will definitely face the husband’s family. Can I always think about my responsibility?" Mrs. Lin thought about it, but she was still very worried, because her son had never been away from her since he was a child. Later, he lived in his own independent courtyard, but after all, he lived in a Zhuangzi. As soon as the servant passed on, the man came to her. Now that he is assigned to such a far away place, he will not be able to see her every month. Not to mention, and she still remembers her son's marriage.Up to now, no one has been selected for him yet, and now that he lives so far away, it seems that the marriage has not been settled yet.

It's just that worrying is all about worrying. She also knows that men like her husband only put big plans first. What is the long-term issue of the survival and development of the villa is what makes men like them worry about it all the time. As for whether the son is always by his side? , they rarely think about it.

A few months later, a letter came from the south, saying that a servant from the original Xiaoxie would personally send Xiao Huang to Yan's village in the south, because Yin Chuan'er would live in that village for a long time.The boy who sent Xiao Huang there reported back that the owner of Yan Village in the village over there seemed to be suffering from a hidden disease, and he often asked for medical medicine, but he didn't know what the disease was. Thinking of the old love, I always take care of him, and take care of his Zhuangzi along the way.

When Master Gu and Mrs. Lin heard this, they were not happy because the power of the powerful enemy had been reduced, but rather sad in their hearts, wondering whether this sickness was originally from their Yan family.Yan Zhen, a strong man like his father, was able to lose weight at that time, could it be that the illness has also spread to Yan Zhen, at such a young age, he is often plagued by illnesses and never recovers.As elders, and because they are close friends with Yan Zhen's parents, they naturally felt very uncomfortable, so they wrote a letter, asking Gu Qingcheng to stay there and take good care of him, Junior Brother Yan, and said that there are them and him in Zhuangzi here. Second brother, of course nothing will happen.He also said that he should seriously ask a doctor for treatment, and he must not prolong his condition or worsen it.

But on the other hand, even though Mrs. Lin is an elder, she is also concerned about whether Yan Zhen is healthy or not.But in reality, when she heard the news, she felt a chill in her heart. After a few days, she let go of the matter of marrying her daughter that she had been thinking about ever since she knew that Yan Zhen had become a dignified man over there. , I never mentioned it again, thinking that if something bad happens in the future, it will be sad for my daughter to not have a man for the rest of her life.

She also thought that it was quite a righteous thing for her and the master to take care of the eldest son over there.However, not long after, she had the idea of ​​marrying her son again, so she asked someone to find out in the vicinity of Gaoyi which girls from other families could match her son.However, her actions are quite slow, as it was originally, her son's matter has passed year after year, and he still has not been settled. On the one hand, it is because she is quite selective, and she does not know how long it will take to choose this time.

Until one day in the next year, when Chuan'er rented a carriage from the south and went to the village in the north to fetch some things that his young master used to wear every day so that he could take them back to his young master, he was caught by his wife and questioned by Gu Qingcheng. Chuan'er kept hesitating and muttering about the details of life over there, and finally reported that the young master had a secret love affair with an orphan girl from a farmer's family in a village. Married the daughter of that family, but she was always sick when she was pregnant. At that time, she was only busy recuperating and taking care of the pregnancy. Unexpectedly, she gave birth to a son when she was less than a month old, but the woman was already too sick due to illness. , and exhausted his strength due to childbirth, and eventually fell ill and died.

Master Gu thought that his son had seldom communicated with his family by letters for a while, so he thought that maybe it was delayed by such an incident.After pondering for a long time, he first asked how the child was doing, saying that the mother was sick and feared that the child's life would be in danger, Chuan'er replied that the child's body has been taken care of better recently, but the young master often misses the girl, and because of always It was because he was thinking that he was not married to her after all, and he always felt that he owed her in his heart, and he was getting thinner recently.

As soon as Mrs. Lin heard this, she wanted to go to Yan's Village to see her son and "grandson", but Chuan'er stopped her and said, "Ma'am, it's better not to go, the young master has been bored with him for the past few months." There are not many people in the yard. Madam is going now, and he can still treat him as Madam asking him if he has an affair with a village woman. Why don't I always take care of the young master's daily life. I want to come here for a year or so Yes, it can always fade away the feeling of regret towards that woman."

After hearing this, Mrs. Lin felt that it was the same reason, so she had to take good care of Chuan'er and take good care of the young master, and don't make him worry too much, so that if he doesn't care about eating and drinking, he won't be around when he dies, just take care of the child well.Chuan'er responded repeatedly, took his young master's used things and headed south again.

But even Chuan'er didn't know that Gu Qingcheng picked up this child in the back mountain.For some reason, Gu Qingcheng can always pick up living things in places like the back mountain. He used to pick up a little yellow, but this time he picked up a little doll.When I picked him up for the first time, he was still like a wrinkled and hairless cat. I think he was only a few days old, and he was lying in that bamboo basket crying.Gu Qingcheng picked him up, and was so excited that he wanted to go back to the courtyard, because in those few days, Yan Zhen discussed with him which baby he wanted to buy and came back. The stage where his parents always want to hire him a girl, who knows that he picked up a treasure, and he didn't even have to buy it. Trouble with the tongue.But when Gu Qingcheng saw the baby crying, he couldn't bring it back. He had to wait for the baby to stop crying, and fell asleep after crying, before taking him back. He only dared to go through the back door of Yan Zhen's courtyard. Go into the courtyard.

Both of them were very excited at night. Seeing the little baby who fell asleep after drinking a bowl of goat's milk that the messenger bought in the city, they began to discuss what to do in the future and what to say to the people outside the hospital.The two kept discussing until the third watch, only to discuss whether to buy a ewe in the future or hire a nurse to solve the baby's food and livelihood, and it took nearly a second to discuss.On the second day, Gu Qingcheng took people out to buy a ewe, and tied it to the osmanthus tree in the yard where they lived when they came back.After a few days, he actually learned how to milk goats, and after a few days, he became proficient in the technique.

Then, the two of them didn't have anything to say about the extra doll in the yard, they only had what they said before to Chuan'er, they just wanted to use Chuan'er's mouth to tell the master and wife of the Gu family, but they didn't say anything to the outside world. It's still like hanging a cover-up cloth, and I don't say anything about hooking up with a girl's family before they are married.They didn't say anything, and the villagers naturally didn't dare to ask, they only discussed in private, maybe the owner or the Gu family's young master had a romantic character, and the romantic debts were incurred outside, and some woman outside gave birth to a baby, lost They went outside their village to raise the baby's father.This word was passed around, as if it really happened.Gu Qingcheng and the others were not annoyed at all when they heard these rumors. They allowed the people in the village to chew on those words, as if they were helping them. As long as everyone spread that the child was born by one of them with a woman, they The flesh and blood of which one will become.

There are a lot of words, with one season of autumn silver osmanthus blooming and withering, and with another season of Xiaoyangchun camellia blooming and withering, season after season, they only rotate in this yard, bored in this yard, and cannot be spread Go outside the courtyard.There are many truths, as the autumn rain came to irrigate and the spring mud melted away, they all rotted under the roots of the osmanthus trees in this yard, and no one knew.Gu Qingcheng has been with his younger brother for so long, and he has been scolded by his younger brother a lot for "not doing enough, but not doing enough". Every word he said, every day he lived cautiously, he didn't dare to talk too much easily, and he had to ask his junior brother who only made things happen and never failed things before deciding on everything.

However, most of the time, he felt that there was nothing wrong with living like this.
