Clam Pearl

Although no one told about Fu Ji's marriage, the Gu family still expressed the greatest goodwill, because Fu Xiaolang has really been on good terms with the family over the years, and he exists like Gu Zhaoqian's son.

Therefore, even the second child, Gu Shan's family, had Gu Yunqing representing Grandpa, and sent five hundred strings as a gift.Gu Yan and Xiao Lang are very close, because Gua Guan'er has been raising him at home for the past few years, coming and going, walking around a lot, he naturally cares and loves Xiao Lang, and knows his brother's stinky problems, so he He also had a plan in his heart, fearing that Gu Zhao would be lonely and have no one to take care of him in the future, so he sent the Su family to follow the two thousand guan, and went away according to the family's grandson's share.

The elders in the family have done this, so the following will naturally follow suit. Mao De gave [-] guan, Maoming, Maofeng, and Maochang each gave [-] guan to add joy.

Other people's family is rich, and they are not short of these money, but there is only one person who has suffered a lot of embarrassment in his heart. This person is either someone else, or Gu Maojia from the fourth family.

In the past few years, Gu Maojia's life has not been easy. Once his mother came back, he would find a way to find someone with his family every day.If you say Gu Maojia is not too annoying, he is just a timid person who is stupefied in reading and has some flirtatious thoughts. I don’t blame him. The boy lost his father and was taught by his mother not to look at the long-term and be cautious. Yi spent the first half of his life living in anxiety.He really doesn't have a bad heart, he doesn't have the guts.

Mrs. Gao knew how to calculate in her heart, she couldn't move her daughter, and she didn't dare to provoke Maochang, so she could only mess with her eldest son who she could hold.

Early in the morning, Gu Maojia and Gu Houye came down from the court, and returned to the mansion to discuss with his wife.No matter what this time, the little uncle didn't dare to offend him, and he wanted to pay the same gift money as Maochang's side.

He sat at home for two hours, but now his wife Wen's heart has long been cold-hearted, picking up the flowers at home every day, as long as she holds them in her hands, she won't spit them out again!In any case, Mrs. Wen couldn't let the children be wronged. In the past few years, Mrs. Wen never went to pay her respects, nor visited Mrs. Gao. Even as long as Mrs. Gao oppressed her, she immediately asked for a divorce, or she would seek death, or take care of the matter. The children are making a big fuss.

Wen's is going all out, if he wants money or not, he will die.She held the Lumitian at home, so Gu Maojia didn't even think about touching it. For several years, the two of them didn't even have a married life.The Gao family has been taking advantage of the Wen family, so they decided to marry the two concubine nieces of the Gao family's younger brother to the family as concubines.

After the Gao sisters entered the Hou's mansion, they opposed Wen's everywhere, relying on the old lady in the family to take advantage of her family, so opening and closing their mouths was all about money.It doesn't matter if you quarrel like this, but it messed up Gu Maojia's life.

Gu Maojia couldn't be picked up, if his younger brother was in Beijing, the family would be much safer.However, his younger brother was also hurt to the extreme by him. It has been four years now, and he hasn't even brought back a letter.

Gu Maojia, who has been tortured by life back and forth, has gray hair when he is not yet young.For a while, he felt that life was boring, and what was even more unfortunate was that in the past few years, the brothers in the family have often been promoted, and each has made achievements, and this Marquis is also divided into levels.Gu Maochang is now in the frontier, and his racecourse is doing well. At the meeting at the beginning of the year, he just gave Gu Maobing a promotion today.

Gu Maojia felt strangely boring in his heart, he was a third-class lord, and now the youngest lord in the family.He looks down on him today, his colleagues look down on him, and his relatives don't associate with him. When he dies in this life, Gu Maojia may have to stay in the position of third-class marquis.

It doesn't count if you don't make any achievements in your career, but the greater retribution is in Tiancheng for six years.Gu Maojia married the two concubine daughters of Gao's younger brother. According to blood relationship, they are close relatives. This year, Gao's sisters became pregnant one after another. I don't understand, I just drool with a silly smile every day.Mrs. Xiao Gao gave birth to a daughter, who was very beautiful, very similar to his sister Jinyu, but unfortunately she was born blind.

This time, the big and small Gaos stopped making trouble.If Gu Zhao came to see this matter, he was against the marriage of close relatives.But he doesn't have any contact with the fourth brother's family, even if Gu Maojia marries a concubine, he doesn't dare to disturb him, it's just a trivial matter.After coming and going, tragedy happened. It's just a pity, the child is so innocent, he can't take a complete trip to the world.

Now, among the descendants of the family, there is a pair of cripples, which is the biggest blow in life for Gu Maojia.In the past two years, he often couldn't sleep at night, always reflecting, always asking himself, is it wrong to be filial?He is filial to his mother and does his errands in a down-to-earth manner. Why did God punish him alone?

Knowing how to reflect is a good thing, but reality is reality. One thing can already bend Gu Maojia's spine, and now everything is not going well. Gu Maojia felt that life was really boring for a while.

When Gu Maojia learned that Fu Ji was married, he felt that this was an opportunity to reconcile with his little uncle, so no matter what, he had to rejoice.That day, when he left court, he returned home early and went to Wen's courtyard where he hadn't set foot in six months.

Wen Shi is currently sitting in the wing weaving, there is no way, her mother-in-law likes to torture her like this, and when she refuses to obey, she will go around telling her that she is wrong, so Wen's big face is over, and she can do what she has to do .But there is one thing, you can't withdraw the money. If you withdraw the money, pay back my dowry first, and then divorce, or I will die.

The loom rattled, and Wen Shi knew that her husband had entered the house, but after she became cold-hearted, she didn't feel the need to show him any more respect.Therefore, Wenshi just took advantage of the light in the house, and kept moving her hands and feet. She was holding the lock, shuttle, shuttle, weaving back and forth, as if she didn't see him.

Gu Maojia sat for a while and mustered up his courage again and again. Seeing that it was almost noon and he was hungry, he asked embarrassingly, "Ah Xiang, don't you need food here?"

Wen didn't look up, and continued to count the wires, until he finished counting, he said: "Your mother said that you should be diligent and frugal when you live at home. Now that the children are learning to eat in Guozi, I only have one meal a day here. Hou If Master is hungry, go to the back, where can those two lose your food and drink?"

Gu Maojia was so bored, he didn't dare to ask any more, he could only say awkwardly: "I came here today to discuss something with you."

Wen Shi still didn't raise his head and said: "Do you want any money? If you are really in a hurry, master wait for a few days. When my brocade cloth comes out, I can sell a few."

Gu Maojia had no choice but to say: "Ah Xiang, I know you have been wronged, so you have to be patient. The old lady is getting old now, and she is not filial, but she doesn't have a good life for a few days. From now on, I will deal with all family matters. I only listen to you, you are the daughter-in-law in this family! No one dares to violate this."

Wen sneered: "It's hard to say, my sisters have already said, your mother, each family received [-] guan from each other! She also signed a document and drew a mortgage. From now on, she will be Mrs. Hou Ye. "

Gu Maojia blushed, and said with a smile after a long time: "My wife, you and I are a young husband and wife, no one dares to surpass you in this relationship, really! Otherwise, I will write you a letter for my husband, Can the painting be completed?"

Wen sneered, Gu Maojia's promise had no credibility at all, she was too lazy to listen to it, and didn't even want to ask.

Gu Maojia had no choice but to sit for another two hours. In the end, he had no choice but to stand up, bow to Wen, and said: "Good Axiang, good madam, this time I am really in trouble. You see, after many years of husband and wife For the sake of it, at least save me."

Wen sneered, changed a small shuttle to get stuck in the thread, and said while walking the thread: "I will save the master? Who will save me? In a lifetime, there will always be a few days of lightness. My life is ruined. Once the master uses it If you don’t have money, come to me and beg me for help! Master Gu, don’t say you don’t have money, even if I have it, I won’t give it to you!”

Gu Maojia was flustered, and bowed again and again: "Good lady, please save me, now I use the money for the good of the high officials."

Wen Shi was furious, stretched out his hand, dropped the shuttle, stood up abruptly, and walked up to Gu Maojia step by step, forcing him to retreat step by step, and finally had no way to go, Wen Shi spit at him and said : "Bah! You have the nerve to beg me? You have the nerve to mention a son! I am also a mother, even if I am not capable, I will show that fake Bodhisattva what is a mother! What is a mother-in-law Yes! I don’t spit out any of my money, what can you do with me? You kill me? Come on? I don’t want to live anymore.

I keep the money, but I just don't give it!I learned how to do it, didn't she lock it, and I locked it too!I have taken it and I am not going to take it out, hurry up tomorrow, my children are going to get married, to get married.I’m saving a few for the kids too!I said Gu Houye, where should you go? You go to stay with your hardworking and frugal housekeeper, and you go to squat with your virtuous and elegant Erguai!Don't think about it here, if you want money, you will die, if anyone doesn't let me live, then everyone will die together! "

Gu Maojia was so frightened that he looked at his once gentle and lovely wife like a monster. He stretched out his sleeves, wiped the spittle from his face and sighed: "Why bother, you are crazy!"

"I'm just crazy! Get out!" Wen Shi shouted at the top of his voice, pointing at the door.

Gu Maojia stumbled and ran out, nearly tripping, and when he ran to the door, Wen Shi behind him was still screaming: "My old lady... tell you! Gu Maojia! Those bastards of a pair of bastards, none of my children will recognize them, you live!" Until you are old, you will be taken care of until you are old! The officials will never take care of you. Before I die, I will strangle them all. I must not let them burden my children for the rest of their lives! My old lady is crazy! Before I go crazy... throw them all out! Throw it out! You suffer the abuse you caused, don't involve my child! I'm crazy!"

Gu Maojia ran to the door, coughed, and was about to straighten his clothes, but unexpectedly, his son Yunke and daughter Rou'er stood at the gate of the courtyard, but they didn't know how long they had been listening.

The two children are now wearing cloth shirts, which are not expensive but have no patches, and the starches are clean.Rou'er has a sprig of pink plum blossoms on her temples. The material is neither gold nor silver, but it is picked from a plum tree.

The two children saluted silently, their expressions were indifferent, and they didn't call daddy.

Gu Maojia felt shy for a moment, covered his face and left without saying a word.

Gu Maojia walked on the street in a daze, and he didn't know how long he had been walking. The night was dark, and he couldn't help it, but he walked to Gu Maofeng's outer house.Now, brothers and sisters in the family, no one can think highly of him. A few years ago, he and Gu Maofeng both praised Lu Wang's stinky feet, but in the end, Lu Wang only admired Gu Maofeng. At that time, he and Gu Maofeng went further and further apart.

Now it seems that people are messing around, it's just an outhouse, but it's a bustling road section, a bustling alley!Even the gates have copper tiger bites and copper aprons, and even the gates wear cotton robes with green silk tops and squirrel fur collars.

How did you live this day?

Gu Maojia stopped, stood at the door and said to the door: "Is my third brother at home?"

That doorman knew him, although he had all the etiquette, he didn't have half a year's respect in his eyes, he just said: "Go back to Lord Hou, the master is at home."

Gu Maojia put his hands behind his back and said, "Go and tell him, I'm here."

The doorman nodded, turned and went in.

Gu Maojia stood at the door, just waiting for his third brother to pick him up. He is Lord Marquis, so he should be polite anyway.But he waited and waited, but his third brother just didn't come out. After a long time of trouble, the doorman ran out and said with a mocking smile: "Master Hou... my master can't get off the table, so I told you to come in!"

Gu Maojia was helpless, being forced by life, he couldn't turn around and leave. He was twisting and turning in his heart, and finally had no choice but to enter Gu Maofeng's yard by himself.

Gu Maofeng's surname is Miao, but no one knows his name.Everyone calls her Sister Miao, the big oiran who used to be famous in the biggest building in Beijing.It is said that sister Miao'er's redemption money had already risen to [-] guan.Now that Sister Miao was redeemed by Gu Maofeng, he didn't dare to take her home, so he raised her in Gui'anli, the most prosperous place in Shangjing.Gu Maofeng's house in Gui'anli was originally furnished by a family of a fourth-rank official. It was worth [-] guan, and it was a courtyard with gardens and three entrances.

Gu Maojia entered the yard, and there was no one to lead the way. Occasionally, someone saw him and pretended not to see him.This way, he walked extremely difficult. He walked all the way to the middle courtyard. Before he arrived, he heard the sound of shouting, drinking and gambling.There are also people talking openly inside.

"I'm talking about the third child. After all, he is also a dignified lord, so he really won't go out? Aren't you afraid that your father will whip you?"

Gu Maofeng said with an undisguised complacency in his voice: "Bah! He is also considered a marquis, and he is led by the nose by an old woman. You can count it. Hey, the only person in Shangjing who knows him will look down on him. Is it a living person?

That is a village man in the country!That's better than him, too.My father beat me?I wish I could stay away from him. "

"Come on, save some morals, someone will come in later, so that we don't have to do it! You say third child, why is he looking for you today?"

"What are you doing? If you can't survive, let's borrow money. I'm going to be so poor, I still want to borrow it! Baby, go to the back and see if the bird's nest is ready, and give each of you a cup, sweet them Don't take any money with you when you enter our house..."

Gu Maojia didn't know what to do anymore, he stood there stupidly for a while, then turned around and left the yard, this time he thought, he would never come again.

What exactly do people live in this life?Shouldn't it be like this?For the first time in these years, Gu Maojia thought of his father, if only his father was alive.How to live a good life and live like this?

He walked in a daze until he came to the temple of his grandfather's family. Now there is no one guarding the gate, only a woman is serving him. So, he went to the backyard alone to find his mother, Mrs. Gao, and he swore an oath all the way, This time, he knelt down and kowtowed to death!I also want to ask my mother for money.When the son grows up, he will learn from Guozi immediately, and he will ask others anyway. Hey, in the future, we have to plan carefully.

Gu Maojia strolled to the backyard, the lights in his mother's Gao's house were dim, and the sound of weaving that he usually heard was gone today, and an old man was having a question-and-answer conversation with Gao.Gu Maojia was startled at first, but then recognized that it was his grandfather talking to Gao Shi.

"I'm talking about the third girl, do you think this can be done? Mao Bing is different from his elder brother. At that time, she will be your dear niece and niece. If the second child doesn't approve, it will ruin Zhen'er's life."

Gao's voice came from the room with a smile, and he laughed and said: "Daddy is afraid of what to do, the second child will not admit it, but I will! It would be better if he is not here, tomorrow I will catch a rooster to replace it." For a moment, didn’t there be such a thing before? Since ancient times, the orders of my parents and the words of the matchmaker, I have to admit even if I marry! My daughter promises that as long as I live, Baozhen’er’s position as the wife of a marquis will be gone. It's no problem."

Mr. Gao was afraid that he was on the safe side, so he said with a hint of flattery in his tone: "So, this matter is entirely up to you, but don't be afraid, your brother will not dare to lose you. I can't do without you, I will move here for you tomorrow..."

Gu Maojia's mind was instantly shattered by the blow, he didn't know whether to kick the door open, or what to do, the world was so big, and there was no one to take him in.He turned around, covered his face and ran away, weeping as he walked, he wanted to die, but he didn't have the courage.He kept running along the way, and when he passed the shop of Carpenter Sima, he didn't know what he was thinking, but he reached out and bought a kitchen knife. He returned to his house with the kitchen knife, stood at the door, and was dumbfounded for a long time. , Scared the door of the house.

Later, Gu Maojia called out one or all of the servants in the family, and this call unexpectedly brought together 50 people. In this way, Gu Maojia took people to his family's family temple.

As soon as he entered the Gaojia Temple, Gu Maojia took people to his mother's storeroom. He held up a kitchen knife and chopped the triple lock one by one. Throwing it aside, Gu Maojia stretched out his foot and kicked the door open, turned around and shouted to the servant: "Move it for me!"

"How dare you!" Mrs. Gao said hoarsely, and helped the woman into the yard, reaching out her hand in front of Gu Maojia, wanting to slap him: "You unfilial thing!"

Gu Maojia held his mother's arm and said: "Mother, my son is not daring to be filial now."

The night was hazy, and the bodies of the people around Gu Maojia who laughed were trembling. He walked up to Gao Shi step by step and asked gloomyly: "Mother, my son asked himself that he came to this world, and he was obedient to his mother. After his father passed away, his son I pity you for your loneliness, and I even support you to live. Now that the emperor is so gracious, you come to my grandparents' house to keep filial piety for your father. These days, even if my son starves to death by himself, he would not dare to wrong his mother at all... My son is puzzled today, The night was getting dark, and the son heard a man talking in the mother's room? But he didn't know who it was? If the mother wanted to remarry the son to find a stepfather, why didn't she tell the son?"

As if Gao Shi was struck by lightning, his soul flew away, what happened?What's going on here?The son actually said that she stole someone?She can't live.

"You... what are you talking about, that's your grandfather!"

Gu Maojia smiled lightly and said: "Everyone in the capital knows that grandpa doesn't bother to talk to mother, and he doesn't even say hello when he meets you, otherwise you can live in the outer temple? Mother, who is that man?"

"You're crazy!" Gao Shi suddenly became sober. She had never been so sober in her life. At this moment, she really regretted it, really regretted it.She wanted to cry, but she clearly realized that crying was useless, her son wanted her to die!Woolen cloth!

Gu Maojia walked up to Gao's ear with an aggrieved face and whispered: "Mother! You have harmed me for the rest of my life, and you still want to harm the second child? Sister, the second child has just lived like a human being. My brother is worthless, right? I live with my father, but now I can’t hurt them anymore. Mother! My son begs you, please die!”

After Gu Maojia finished speaking, tears dripped down involuntarily, and he said loudly while streaming: "Come on, help my old lady down, she is crazy!"
