Clam Pearl

Gu Zhao had always felt that it was a loss for Gu Maofeng's baby to be born in ancient times.That baby was born in modern times, she is a master of public relations, a bastard, with the relationship in hand, the former emperor's son can get on with him, and the new emperor's son regards him as a confidant, and he is also capable of managing the money bag for others.It's a pity, he was born in the wrong family and in the wrong era.

In the end, if his father hadn't killed him, that person would be... I don't know what troubles he will cause in the future.

The two brothers talked all night, and they didn't get up early the next morning.

Boss Gu broke his mind, and he slept soundly this time, but Seventh Gu had a lot of worries on his mind. When he got up, he looked at everything with dark circles under his eyes.

In his opinion, whether it is a silver mine, a gold mine, the former prince, or the current prince, these people are like little mice under Ah Run's claws. Can't escape his claws, why is it like this, a good life was beaten to death by the old brother... There are some things that he is inconvenient to tell the old brother, just because of this inconvenience, the Gu family confessed a life, of course Well, he is not a person who grabs everything on him, but... Thinking of this matter, he feels a little uncomfortable.

After resting hastily for a few days, they didn't talk about how Gu Zhao comforted brother, but only said a few days of cultivation. Seeing that Gu Yan regained his energy, the group of people finally embarked on the journey again. In Gu Zhao's eyes, this journey is a All kinds of cheating, to use his superficial vocabulary, they are colorful flags fluttering, luxury cars, emperor's favor and so on, it's such a joy that Xiami's is really one honor after another.

During this period of time, Gu Zhao's attitude towards Gu Yunyao has improved a lot, and he doesn't feel that he is petty. He just feels that this child is really poor. He is young and has nothing but his grandfather. Therefore, He also often called him into the car, read books with the children, talked gossip, and fulfilled the responsibilities of the elders.

A few days later, on this day the convoy finally entered the territory of Kunyiguan. The road conditions were getting better and better. Just looking at it, you could tell that this was a new road, and it was newly repaired by the folks who found it in the cold wind. As far as the eye can see, there is a lot of water on the loess hard road that has been rolled back and forth hundreds of times with stone rollers. Cars and horses are driving on it.

The road is really good, but Gu Yan is careful, so after walking for half a day, he raised the curtain of the car and asked Gu Maodao who was riding a horse outside and said: "Fourth, this road is not easy to repair, right? "

Gu Maodao pulled down the reins of the horse, paralleled the horse's body with the carriage, and said with a smile through the carriage curtain: "Uncle, don't worry, according to the old rules, generally nine husbands are wells, four wells are towns, four towns are hills, and four hills are fields. There are about [-] households in this village. According to the old rules, each village provides ten cattle, one military vehicle, and a number of soldiers to the army. Our Kunyiguan has been doing well for these years, and according to the rules, labor is still the same. It takes three days in ten days, and now the military service is reduced upwards, but we are at the border, and we are still following the old rules.

My father said that this road should have been repaired a long time ago, so I discussed with the local adults, and by receiving the decree, the chores for this year will be exempted, and naturally there is no need to spend more money, only this cultivator Hard labor is enough, and it can be regarded as a merit, and everyone who knows it agrees. "

Hearing this, Gu Yan thought for a while, then stroked his beard and nodded slightly.

After walking for a while, their carriages stopped again at the intersection of Zhidaguan Road, and all the old harnesses were replaced with new ones. More than 100 carriages were replaced with harnesses, whether it was the girth of the horse or the lead. The long sleeves of the car are all covered with silverware, and the imprints on the silverware are all the monograms of the Gufu in Pingzhou.Since then, every time I pass through a county, the local county magistrate will lead the people and gentry to throw flowers and sing songs and praises. It is difficult for these people to find so many flowers in this season.

Gu Yan has never been so extravagant in his life, so he repeatedly called Gu Maodao to teach him a lesson. He only said it. Later, Gu Zhao sent someone to the front to say that this was all for the imperial decree. It doesn't matter at all, just tell him to sit in the carriage and bear it with peace of mind. In this way, Old Master Gu can be at peace of mind, and he will sigh in his heart when he is carrying no one behind his back.

Gu Shan, a thief, is like an emperor in the border.

The three generations of the Gu family really wanted this honor, but unfortunately, my father didn't see it, nor did I get it for a day.What a pity, the good foundation laid by the ancestors, the good book written by Xiaoqi, just let this thief enjoy it. Thinking about it, I... really don't want to.

In a blink of an eye, we finally arrived at the Kunyi Pass. Coincidentally, the weather today is fine, with blue sky and white sun.Gu Zhao and his convoy were just about to reach the pass when they heard the sound of drums in the distance. They didn't go far, and when they saw the city wall of Kunyi Pass, two teams of musicians in colorful shirts came running over there. These people carried a few rolls of colorful ropes made of colored cloth on their backs, ran to the front of the carriages, and used colored ropes to connect the carriages one by one in groups of six. In this way, the drivers also stood up and stood up. Driving, so and so, the driving is neat and orderly, and the carriage runs extremely coordinated, like a dance step.From a distance, it looks very majestic.

The caravan danced ten miles to the Kunyi Pass. Gu Shan wore a battle robe and drove the carriage to the front of the caravan. When he reached the front, he did not get out of the car, but only saluted in the car. In the middle, Gu Yan's carriage is on the left, and Gu Shan's carriage is on the right, all the way guarding towards Kunyi Pass. Along the way, the officials of Kunyi Pass kneel to meet the people on both sides of the road.

It was Gu Zhao who had seen the founding ceremony in his previous life. Of course, it was on TV.Such a grand live version of the event still shocked him unceasingly, and he was very moved, partly moved because of vanity, a man, no matter how hard he struggled in his whole life, it was just for this glory, and now he really saw the glory, Even if he doesn't like vanity, this person feels that this is enough.There is still a little bit more, but he secretly makes Ah Run happy, because this respect is to see Ah Run's face, not his old man's face, whoever comes here to suffer from the cold wind, flatters here while eating cold air!As for Gu Er Er, how he likes to toss about is his business.

After some etiquette, my brother didn't care about greetings. He only knelt, proclaimed, received, and worshiped under the leadership of Xu Wenlu, who represented the Ministry of Rites. After seventeen or eight chapters of gratitude, this is not over. Because there is a praise table for the ancestors of the Gu family, this must go to the ancestral ancestral hall built by Gu Shan's family to read out the sacrifices and offerings. Therefore, from the busy morning to the [-] o'clock in the afternoon, the third brother followed Xu Wenlu, who was holding the imperial decree, all the way Come to Kunyiguan, Gu's ancestral hall.

As soon as they arrived at the ancestral hall, it didn't matter, but Gu Yan and Gu Zhao were surprised again, not for anything else, but because Gu Shan built the ancestral hall for their ancestors. Yes, let's not talk about the three-story bucket arch at the main entrance, nor the word Wuzhong written by that famous master, but only talk about the scale of this place, but it is difficult to describe clearly with one or two pen and ink.

The ancestral hall is divided into front and back courtyards. There is a huge stage in the middle of the entrance, and the sacrificial hall is facing the stage. The sacrificial hall faces north and faces the south chamber of the opposite mountain. Therefore, the morning sun, noon sun, and sunset are all here from morning to night. In Feng Shui, there is a saying that it can shine on the official tablet of the ancestors, saying: Sanyang Kaitai, that is what it means.

Passing through the courtyard, there are three incense halls running along the front, namely Shengyuan, Yi'an, and Wanchun.After passing the incense hall, in a blink of an eye, it turned out to be a small garden. The garden passed by, and it was surrounded by dragons. It was divided into upper and lower halls, and there was a small stage. between.

Gu Zhaozheng looked up at the colorful paintings of the ancestral hall and enjoyed it. The painting on the main beam is the story of his father drinking and breaking the long bridge.Coke was watching, when someone beside him suddenly said coolly: "As long as he is filial, if we have such a large ground in Shangjing, the old man in Ming Dynasty will also repair one. If you have the ability, shake it in Shangjing! Hmph!"

Gu Zhao looked back and was immediately amused, but this person was his elder brother, presumably, he was jealous?Of course it is.

Gu Zhao smiled and said: "Brother, if the second brother sacrifices again, the ancestor will eat yours first, and then his. It's just leftovers. Don't worry about it."

"I can understand as well as him, a countryman, just a little trick! Hmph!"

Gu Yan thought about it for a while, but this was not the reason, so he became happy again, read the imperial decree to his ancestors, and after burning the sacrifices, he put his hands behind his back and went back and forth to comment on the ancestral hall built by Gu Shan. And from time to time put forward some "valuable" opinions.

Gu Shan was in a good mood, so he accepted it with courage from the beginning to the end, and did not resist. On the contrary, he was sore when he saw his elder brother's old state. After all, his ancestors were dead. They're all about the same age, so if there's anything else to argue about, let's just leave it at that.

That night, there were two performances in the ancestral hall of the Gu family. A song was sung on the stage in front, and the female relatives in the back entered through the side door, listening to the excitement of the theater. Well, today's celebration does not distinguish between young and old, and everyone has given this honor to the Long Live Gu family.

But they didn't know that this honor was earned for everyone by the Duke of Xiaojun who was standing by and strolling around.

This night, the trouble continued until the midnight, and the ancestors in the family were able to rest at ease.Gu Shan was very happy, he brought his colleagues and subordinates, toasted and introduced Gu Zhao brothers one after another. For a while, the ancestral hall of the Gu family was full of excitement, so honorable!

Gu Zhao passed out at the end of Haishi, he didn't know how he got back to his second brother's house, who bathed him, and who fed him the hangover soup.The old brother was getting old, and the magistrates didn't dare to pay respect there, so they could only come to the little county magistrate, playing rebirth, Gu Zhao hadn't drunk so much yet.

On the morning of the second day, at about [-]:[-] p.m., Gu Zhaofang opened his eyes in bewilderment. He was lying on the bed, unable to react for a long time. Until then, he was still as if in a cloud.I don't know how long it took, a woman at the door said with a low smile: "Last night, Xiaoqi was poured heavily, and he was brought back to feed him soup. He only said it was still wine, and while drinking, he declined, then... ...There are still tears in the corners of my eyes!"

Afterwards, the second elder brother also smiled and said: "He is still young, so he can stand up to these rough people in the army, but this is indeed the blood of my family. Although he has no capacity for alcohol, he is not small. How much, hey, if the sister-in-law finds out, she will nag us again."

"No, Xiaoqi is like the youngest son raised by the sister-in-law. I don't dare to talk nonsense when I ask them to go back. I'm afraid they will complain again..."

Hearing this, Gu Zhao could only get up, held his head and asked, "But the second elder brother and the second sister-in-law, why did you come here without waiting for the younger brother?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xizi who had been waiting hurriedly lifted the curtain of the bed. Gu Zhao looked up and saw his second elder brother Gu Yan and his second sister-in-law Pei entered the room.

Mrs. Pei is polite, so she just stopped at the screen in front of the bed, and said with a soft smile through the screen: "Lao Qi speaks nonsense, and he is not an outsider. Big brother can't get up today. Now, after finishing the etiquette, you are all family members. Why are you talking about so many rules? Besides, your title is higher than your brother, so he should come to worship you! Sister-in-law tells you, these days, there is no one else, the wine manager Enough, after the ancestor's wine is finished, there is also the wedding wine at home!"

Gu Zhao laughed, and said while standing up: "Sister-in-law's words are a bit sour, how dare the younger brother work hard for the second brother, the conscience of heaven and earth, I thought about it, so I went to see the second brother first."

Mrs. Pei was embarrassed for a while, then smiled and whispered for a while: "Well, it's not sour, your brother has been a monkey all his life, he is a monkey, he is still a monkey who is not at ease, stuck here all day If you start from side to side, you really can’t go anywhere.”

Pei's is different from her sister-in-law Lu's. She comes from a famous family, but a scholarly family. When she speaks, she doesn't have the slightest bit of bluntness, and she speaks in a crooked way.But when I met Gu Zhao today, it was also an injustice. Gu Zhao was a rough man in his bones, so he didn't follow her old lady's wishes. Therefore, Gu Zhao replied while washing up: "Success, I will ask the Holy Majesty for orders when I go back." , Said that my second brother doesn’t want to be the monkey king anymore, he’s a good place! I’m so envious of the little brother, there are so many people in the land, like the king of the mountain, so you can be as comfortable as you want. When the time comes, we’ll change it, but this monkey boy is I don't dislike it."

Pei Shi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and spat through the screen.

Gu Shan saw that Gu Zhaoyue said that he was not upright, so he walked behind the screen, patted him on the back of the head, and said, "It's still the same."

Gu Zhao smiled, and threw the towel in his hand to Xizai: "It's just as usual."

In the yard, Gu Shan's descendants were all standing in neat rows according to their concubines. They were a group of more than 20 males. The oldest was Gu Maodao, and the youngest was an unnamed milk baby. Jiaxia hugged her in her arms, with her fingers in her mouth, she just didn't understand why she came here to line up so early in the morning.

The sparrows on the tree were chirping. I don't know which room it was, but finally couldn't bear it anymore, so he opened his mouth and burst into tears.

Gu Zhao was taken aback, went to the window and opened it to have a look, he was startled, unexpectedly, he had slept all morning, but there were so many people standing here neatly waiting all morning.

"Brother, why bother! Telling the children to wait against the wind, how can my little brother bear it?" Gu Zhao was a little ashamed and angry, turning his head and complaining.

Gu Shan didn't take it seriously, he waved his hand indifferently and said: "You are an elder, and you should be like this, they are lucky to meet you, besides! There is no such shop after this village. Hey! Such a small county Father-in-law, the whole country is a part of our old Gu family!"

It's all like this, Gu Zhao can only pack himself up quickly, and hurried to the main hall of the residence to sit down, Gu Shan shook the feudal parents' pomp and asked them to come in one by one to pay a visit, Gu Zhao was annoyed when he heard this: " What did the second brother say, the cubs are only so old, they are all breastfeeding, one by one, hurry up, call them all in! Hurry up..."

Gu Shan looked at Mrs. Pei, and smiled silently. After all, he listened to Gu Zhao's persuasion and called everyone in together.

Gu Zhao lives in Yangchuntang, which is not a small place, so there are a lot of people coming into the main hall, but they can all stand still, which is decent.

When the children came in, they all stared at their grandfather, and the old man reprimanded them.

Gu Zhao said again: "Don't look at him, what's going on this early in the morning! Don't greet and introduce one by one, everyone is tired of standing, and they all sit and talk. I don't stick to those common etiquette, hurry up, let's all go together Now that you're done, I have something good for you."

Gu Zhao's words were deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the juniors felt more or less affectionate in their hearts.

Because Gu Zhao is the younger brother, Gu Shan didn't carry it. He followed Gu Zhao's wishes and asked the juniors to salute together. If anyone was crying, he was asked to be hugged and coaxed, but he was not allowed to go back to the room. One was crying, followed by a series of children. For a while, the room was full of warmth and the atmosphere was much more relaxed.

When Gu Zhao came this time, he brought a lot of gadgets according to the head, so the juniors all received generous gifts, and they all expressed their gratitude.

When Gu Zhao saw the perfect people, he looked at them one by one, and he also liked them in his heart. Otherwise, his flesh and blood were in charge. These children were melons picked up from the old Gu's vine. thick.Therefore, after he recognized the person, he smiled and said to Gu Shan: "Second brother, don't say it, you really mean it! Although I haven't seen the children before, now I see them and I feel very close."

Gu Shan stroked his beard and nodded: "That's the reason." After thinking about it, he added: "If my father is alive, I will be even happier." He pointed to Maodao standing in front and said: "At the beginning, our father, It's best to be with Maodao, I often take him with me on horseback when I go out, and every time I go out empty-handed, I can buy a bag to eat and drink when I come back..." Gu Shan's eyes were a little moist when he said this.

When did it happen? Gu Zhao didn’t have the slightest impression. This treatment was his back then. Back then, his food and drink were not counted as a bag, it was half a car and half a car, and his father didn’t ride a bag. The horse took him out, and he rode on Dad's neck.At that time, my father was getting old, and the back of his neck was sweating after he left for a short time. Gu Zhao would be able to coax people at that moment, so he kept wiping his father with his chubby hands.Every time after wiping, my father didn't dislike his smelly feet. Standing in the street, he took off his shoes and bit his stinky feet. He bit them so much that he held a fat hoof in his mouth.

Thinking of this, Gu Zhao also sighed a little. After a long time, he said: "Father has a spirit in the sky. He is naturally happy to know that his children and grandchildren are prosperous." Beside the pillar, there was a little baby who looked like he had just learned to walk. He thought he was impatient to be hugged and was about to cry, so the family put him beside the pillar and asked him to support him.The milk baby stared at a pair of big black eyes, was biting his index finger and was drooling, he also opened a mouthful of millet, looking at Gu Zhao foolishly and smiling.

Gu Zhao was delighted when he saw it, so he pointed and said, "Whose family is that? Hurry up and bring it here, let me have a look."

Gu Shan also looked over there, looked carefully for a long time before smiling: "This is..." At this point, as if remembering something, Gu Shan had a wry smile on his face, and said embarrassingly: "Yunjing's family It was just sent back, just two weeks old."

Gu Yunjing reported on the fact that Gu Yan beat Gu Maofeng to death in the end, and everyone in the world could hide it, but Gu Shan couldn't hide it. Naturally, Gu Shan knew it too, and Gu Zhao definitely knew it.There are seven brothers, the relationship between the seventh and the eldest is the best.

The adults made mistakes, and Gu Zhao didn’t take it seriously. He still asked someone to bring the fat baby over, put it in his arms and smelled the fragrance of milk and teased him a few times. The whole family laughed together.

Seeing that Gu Zhao didn't let go, Mrs. Pei smiled and said, "Lao Qi is not young now, and he should have married and lived his life. You are young and strong, and you still worry about this. If you hear, my sister-in-law will give you a hand." Find a few, and within three years, you can hold a litter of fat boys!"

Gu Zhao didn't answer, just smiled and said, "It's a blessing to hug now, and I don't want to think about the other one."

Gu Shan glared at Mrs. Pei, changed the subject, and asked some old acquaintances in Beijing and China what they are doing now. The person he said was his relationship, but Gu Zhao didn't know anything about it, so he didn't know how to reply. I'm sorry, but Gu Maobing came to help again. This person is very lively. He greeted a series of greetings as soon as he entered the door, and joked everywhere without throwing money. I was so teased that I couldn't fit my mouth, I was really angry and laughed at the same time.

"Really, Mao Bing's mouth is so sweet, look, this junior is laughing at you, you don't have to panic!" Pei laughed and blamed.

Gu Maobing sat sprawled, perhaps feeling that the Erbo's chair was not comfortable, so he leaned half-legged beside Gu Zhao, holding the jade pendant under his waist while teasing the fat boy, and replied "Er Niang doesn't know, my little uncle often said that if you can talk, you spend it as money. Now my nephew has learned to behave well. In the past, when my nephew couldn't speak, I don't know how much money I lost. Now it's hard. I have learned it, if I don’t say enough, I will be thankful!”

Immediately everyone in the room laughed again, and Gu Zhao followed suit, but his face became more and more weird, and his whole smile stopped there as if thrown high in the sky. After being stunned for a long time, Gu Zhao smiled and said: "Hey, there is something wrong today. I received a great blessing, and this good grandson rewarded me with a little boy's urine as soon as he saw his uncle."

Gu Shan was a little embarrassed: "This... Hurry up and hug it! It's too rude, why didn't you say it just now?"

Gu Zhao said with a smile while shaking hands with the person, "What do you say? If you startle the child, you won't be able to urinate freely in the future." After finishing speaking, he followed the doll's crotch-open pants and grabbed the calf on the lower body of the doll and said: "Well, it is indeed the seed of the old Gu's family. This has soaked through several layers of my uncle's coat."

Mrs. Pei hurriedly called someone to serve Gu Zhao to change clothes, but Gu Zhao didn't care. He just said that he didn't care about the baby's breastfeeding.For a moment, the juniors in the house only felt that this little uncle was so kind and kind, why couldn't he stay by his side all the time, if he stayed by his side, the old man's black fists would be lost all year long.

While laughing, the sixth son of Tao Ruo's family outside the door came in and said that the old man got up, but when he got up, he found that he had pimples all over his body. Maybe it was because the ancestral hall hadn't opened all year round, so he was a bit sinister.Don't call over there, for fear of passing people.

When Gu Shan heard that his elder brother was ill, he hurriedly stood up and asked, "If it's a bardo, you can do bloodletting."

Chapter [-] of Tao Lao said: "Go back to the second master, let go, pick out all ten fingers, the blood that comes out is black blood and white marks, the family doctor said, it is just a style, and now I am sweating after drinking green onion beard ginger tea. The master said, I won’t get up today, just ask the seventh master to reunite with your family.”

Gu Shan stomped his feet: "There's a lot of excitement there, and I've only been here for a day, if there's something, how can I explain it to my old sister-in-law."

Seeing that he was still talking, Gu Zhao hurriedly stopped him and said, "Don't be too busy, there is a family doctor over there, and the imperial doctor will also bring it with you when he comes. The family doctor said it's okay, so just wait and have a good time." It will be fine in a few days. Is it just like this...Some things are not cheap."

Gu Shan was taken aback when he heard the words, and turned to look at Gu Zhao.

Gu Zhao said with a smile: "Brother's illness, I'm afraid it will be delayed if the niece at home has a glass of wedding wine."

When Gu Maobing heard the words, his body immediately became pierced. He looked out the window with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, thinking to himself, this is because the elder uncle is dissatisfied with the second uncle's fuss. This is really funny, the old man is getting more and more I'll get things done...

That's fine too, it's up to Gu Houye to play any monkey tricks, and the Old Master Gu won't serve him at all!

The author has something to say: All the books about labor are taken from the records in the Zhou Rites. In ancient times, many dynasties fell because of this problem of labor. It can be seen that some ancient books also talk about nonsense.

Three days in ten days, that is to say, every ten days, three days must be sent to the country for hard labor.
