Clam Pearl

In life, there is no one who is not angry. After seven years of fighting, Gu Zhao and Zhao Chunrun would quarrel over trivial matters from time to time.

They were angry, but it wasn't because Zhao Chunrun was the emperor that Gu Zhao was about to back down.

How could it be possible, in his last life he was aggrieved all his life, but in this life, he is an emperor, and Gu Zhao didn't intend to let him go. no end.

It's not that Zhao Chunrun has no temper, he has it, and he doesn't care about it with Gu Zhao.

He himself felt that Gu Zhao followed him to work hard, and spent his whole life cutting off the glory, cutting off the blood of his descendants, and breaking the family ties. In addition, he was much older, so he was born with short legs...

In the first few years, they thought this way, but after being together for a long time, the two of them forgot about whoever was at a disadvantage and whoever took advantage of it, and began to fight each other.

It's been a long time, Gu Zhao often yelled, and hurriedly packed up and went back to Pingzhou, and went back to the south. Every time he yelled like this, Zhao Chunrun would definitely pay for it. After a long time, the emperor didn't want to, so his anger accumulated. Today he drove Gu Zhao to Hualou privately today, and he exploded.

Zhao Chunrun thought that it was only natural for him to be angry, and this time he was sure to win!

Gu Zhao couldn't be wronged, and he was just "investigating the case", why should he be so narrow-minded, what did he do?Why did you cut off the camellia he carefully cultivated?

When the two returned home from the street with gloomy faces, each of them found a door and closed it, and no one paid attention to the other.

Ordinary people quarrel, there must be a bridge to make peace, but they?Who dares!They didn't even have anyone to persuade them to fight, which shows that their lives are also very sad.

The yard was quiet and quiet, the servants and eunuchs were walking on tiptoe, the young and the young were circling anxiously by the wall, Sun Xi was holding a food box in his arms, the old eunuch cried a little girlishly occasionally, Lan Huafinger was holding a flat handkerchief to wipe Tears, full of accusations.

Xinzai and the others just ignored the old eunuch, they still wanted to sue, and they ate two pieces of dim sum in the room at the other end, but they didn’t eat anything here, it’s been two meals!

Two meals!

At first, Gu Zhao walked around the room with his hands behind his back. He was so hungry that he poured a cup of tea into his stomach. He and Zhao Chunrun wrestled on the street, but they didn't get any better. They were taken home, and their old face was gone. , Even the face of the soul is lost.

He had no face to go out anyway, and initially decided to die cleanly. After eating two meals in one go, he entered the default hunger strike procedure, and finally set himself on fire, and he couldn't get down.

It's annoying to say, usually that guy has already said good things, what's wrong today, he doesn't come to call, Gu Zhao has no face to go out, so the two sides froze.

At [-]:[-] pm, Zhao Chunrun's stomach felt heavy and uncomfortable, and Gu Zhao's stomach was also grumbling. The food on the outside table had changed three tables, and they just had no face to go out to eat.

Whoever gets out first loses.

At three o'clock in the morning, Xizai's apprentice A De rushed in from the outside, whispered something into Xizai's ear, Xizai immediately entered the room with an excited face, and said loudly to Gu Zhao's door: " Lord! Qiu, everyone from Lanruo Temple at the gate, please see me!"

Who cares at this time?As long as it is a step, the whole house will be grateful.

Not long after, there was the sound of bare feet stomping on the floor in the room, and then whoops!One sound, and then Gu Zhao opened the door. His nose was red and his eyes were watery. He said loudly to the curtain opposite: "Go! Bring... the jacket that my sister-in-law sent yesterday...! Master wants to see guests !"

Sun Xi also entered the house from the outside, whispering softly through the curtain, why do you eat two bites, your majesty, why do you want to take care of the dragon's body...

There was a kneeling in the back, and the floor knocked muffled.

The two groups of people are their own masters and do their own thing, and no one is afraid of the other's busy work.

Not long after, Xizai brought a group of people into the house, and Gu Zhao spread his arms in the room angrily, and let Xizai and the others change him into a bright robe full of flowers, also put a romantic bun on his head, and put his hair on his head. Hosta, a string of bright ornaments hanging from the waist.

After dressing up, Gu Zhao coughed loudly, walked out of the house in a bully manner with his hands behind his back, got into the small sedan chair in the yard, and went in front of him as a guest.

After he left for a while, Zhao Chunrun came out of the room with a dark cloud covering his face...

Qiu everyone knelt on the floor of the living room in the front yard of the county mansion, and she knelt neatly when she came.

As she knelt, she thought of her fate, lamented misfortune, and had all kinds of thoughts on her mind. No matter what, she wanted to fish herself out of this pool of water.

I don't know how long she has been kneeling, since she started receiving guests, her knees have not suffered from this kind of crime, but now, in order to survive, she will bear it even if she kneels to death.

Just as he was thinking wildly, there was a sudden burst of snack aroma coming from the door behind him, and there was also the rustling sound of dresses being rubbed as they walked.

Then a neatly dressed lady in charge brought a bunch of maids into the house, and these maids were holding boxes covered with peonies, the fragrance came from those boxes, and after a while, it was all over the small table on the Luohan couch opposite. on, piled high with dim sum.

The dim sum can be hot or cold, and the taste is always sweet and fragrant. These sweet and greasy fragrances make everyone's nerves a little relaxed.

She straightened up, put her weight on her calves and looked around, before she could take a few glances, someone yelled in the courtyard: "Stay back..."

Qiu everyone hurriedly knelt down again and prostrated themselves on the ground.

Behind him, it was eerily quiet, not even the slightest conversations could be heard...

Everyone in Qiu felt uneasy, and they were emboldened by the scent of dim sum, and fell into the abyss again.

Not long after, a pair of cloth shoes embroidered with emerald green bamboos walked past her. She raised her head slightly, and another gauze curtain hung down on the living room in front of her...

Can't you see the face?

Gu Zhao took off his shoes and sat half-lying on the Arhat couch. His left and right sides had receded, so Gu Zhao unceremoniously hid behind the gauze curtain and ate two pieces of snacks and took a sip of sweet tea. Only then did he feel comfortable in his stomach. a little.Suppressing his hunger, Gu Zhao asked the following without words: "What's the matter? Qiu everyone is kneeling? Come on, show me a seat!"

There was a sound from outside the house, and Hua Rui brought a drum stool into the house after a while.

Everyone in Qiu didn't dare to sit down, they just said: "I'm guilty, but I don't dare to sit down, let's talk on my knees..."

Gu Zhaodao: "Oh? Where did you say that?"

Everyone in Qiu laughed bitterly: "In the early spring of the fifth year of Tiancheng, at the gate of the city, I saw the prince of the county sending all the soldiers on a long journey. I have been separated for many years, slave..."

Gu Zhao glanced at the compartment in the house, and at some point opened the door slightly, um... I can't tell this woman to talk too much, or I would think that I really have any friendship with her, and I would be justified by then It didn't make sense either.

"You don't need to talk about this! We haven't met a few times, let alone reminiscing about the old days! The post you posted to the master said that you have something important to say? You also said that you have something important to pass on, but you don't know what it is? Say it first, if you intercede with Li Yongji, then there is no need! I don’t need anything..."

Gu Zhao's attitude is a little angry. He is too busy during the day, and he feels that it doesn't matter to go to that place, but he doesn't want to. Ah Run cares about these things very much. Now, he feels guilty and wants to take a step forward with confidence.

Zhao Chunrun eats dim sum in the back room, but he still refuses to eat, who is that guy scaring, isn't he just not eating, he has never suffered this kind of crime!

He listened carefully to the conversation outside, but he didn't want to, the other side Xizi suddenly entered the room with a copper pot, after entering the room, he took out ten boiled eggs one by two from the copper pot and put them on the table.

Zhao Chunrun was stunned for a moment, looked down at the egg for a while, then raised his eyes to look at Xizai, and cursed in a low voice: "You monkey, you are full of ghosts, get out of here!"

After finishing speaking, Zhao Chunrun stretched out his hand to pick up a hot egg and held it in his hand. After a long time, he sighed slightly and began to peel and eat the egg carefully.

Smiling carefully, he bent over and walked backwards. When he reached the door, he gave Sun Xi a thumbs up at the corner of the yard, and Sun Xi breathed a sigh of relief.

Starving the emperor, they all deserve to die!

In the room, Qiu and everyone talked about their unfortunate fate, and at the end, they started talking about Li Yongji again.

She is not a ruthless female cousin, but now Lanruo Temple is already one of the best flower houses in Beijing. She also gave birth to a son for Li Yongji. This year is two years old. Now she is secretly raised in another county. Before, the trustee wrote her a letter with only three words in it, protecting her son.

Originally, everyone in Qiu also wanted to use tricks to lure the county master to her building. This girl was paid a lot of money by a famous teacher to train her meticulously. Although that girl is only fifteen years old this year, she has long been the top of the hundred flowers in Beijing, and her fame has spread far and wide.

It's a pity, she waited all day today and created such a good atmosphere, she panicked when the Duke of Pianjun didn't come.

But it was said that Gu Zhao scolded everyone Qiu unceremoniously, and everyone Qiu was sobbing after a long time, crying while talking about "business".

"...Who would have thought of this day? When Xiuzhi went out that year, he also made a vow. He told the slave again and again that these people can be regarded as scholars. Although they have great articles, they are missing Fortune, now that Lord Mengjun appreciates you, you have to make progress and work hard to live up to the kindness of your support..."

Gu Zhao swallowed his snacks and took a sip of water. It doesn't matter that he looks ugly, anyway, he can't be seen from the outside. Hearing Qiu's nonsense, he was a little reluctant: "You talk about business, what are you talking about? "

Qiu everyone hurriedly put away their tears and said: "Yes! The business is that today I will repair it... No, I will give all of Li Yongji's assets to the county master..."

Speaking of this, she knelt down and kowtowed a few times: "I still hope that the county lord will save my life! Look at... look at this slave... slave... this slave is really innocent, the county lord knows the lesson!"

Li Yongji saved something with everyone in Qiu?

Gu Zhao blinked his eyes and asked coldly, "Where are the things?"

Qiu everyone hurriedly took out a piece of paper from their arms and held it over their heads with both hands, saying: "This is Li Yongji's finances stored in my slave's house. There are houses and lands in various places in Shangjing, my hometown Jiyang, and some places in Ganzhou, as well as some gold and silver jewelry. , the rare goods are soft, and besides, the 120 million coins that have been stored in my house these years, I have packed them up and put them in the warehouse behind Lanruo Temple.

Gu Zhao didn't take Bar Qiu everyone as a chapter, even Li Yongji, he didn't take a chapter.

Do you still underestimate these ancients?

Throwing the dim sum in his hand on the table boredly, Gu Zhao sat up on the couch, and turned his shoes around the room.

After walking around for a while, he suddenly smiled and said to everyone Qiu: "As if you remember back then, everyone Qiu told us that you are also a hard-working man. Was your hometown an embankment? I remember, your family would It was flooding, and you sang a country song at that time, remember?"

Everyone in Qiu is full of things, do you remember what you sang at the beginning?She shook her head blankly, desperately thinking about those poems and songs.

But Gu Zhao remembered the song. He sat back on the couch and hummed softly: "In the first month, the first month is the first month. Others pay homage to their ancestors during the New Year. The rich master goes to drink, and the mother washes clothes on the river. Famine, there is no grain of rice to wrap the hungry stomach, the father carries the pole and drags the mother, the younger sister has tears in her eyes, March is yellow in March, and the younger sister starves to death on the road..."

Everyone in Qiu burst into tears and fell to the ground in mourning: "My lord...don't sing..."

Gu Zhao let out a sigh of relief slowly: "People like me are also born to beg for cheap. I was born in a family of Zhongming Dingshi. I was lonely in my childhood, but I never suffered a single day of grievances. That year when I went to Longxi County, on the way, I accepted A young apprentice is my apprentice Fu Ji.

You have never seen how miserable such a person is, with a thin yellow and black face, howling on the side of the road, thousands of immigrants, and the leaves will never return...

At that time, we knew that people can't simply live, people have to do some human things!Those refugees, those refugees, those immigrants, have to have something to eat...

You said, why do the well-mannered people of Wukang County move thousands of miles away?Isn't it because of natural disasters and man-made disasters, thousands of miles of barren land, seven counties with no households, the common people have no food to eat, no food to eat, your father and your mother just wanted to flee famine, so they sold you and your sister.

Measuring the population of the world, there are only 46 households in Wukang County alone, and then the entire Wukang County is in pain! ... Everyone Qiu, are you not guilty of spending such money?What you eat is the blood Li Yongji sucked from Ding Min, you know that! "

Qiu everyone burst into tears, choked with sobs and said: "It wasn't like this, it shouldn't be like this! I regret it, and there is not a day that I don't regret it! The county magistrate is kind! Thank you! I know that I am ashamed and ugly. I just feel that if I am redeemed and bought out by someone, I can live a clean life, even if I die, I am willing to die..."

She wiped away her tears, and dreamily talked about what happened in Tiancheng five years later.

"... After the slave was redeemed by Xiuzhi, he felt at ease, but he didn't expect that relatives from Xiuzhi's hometown would come here after a while. I have never seen those people before. They entered the house like wolves, and everyone was like Xiuzhi. The elders of the family, they said that Xiuzhi's study and progress were all contributed by the whole family. Now that he is rich and prominent, he should not forget his ancestors, and it is right to support the family brothers.

What is a slave, and it is just a lowly background. No one can afford to offend a slave. If the cultivation is not there, the slave can't do anything, so he has to owe usury to support them... Not long after, the family was unable to get the copper money to buy vegetables. It's..."

Gu Zhao didn't say a word, just picked up the teacup, and listened while drinking. This was just some worldly helplessness to exonerate himself. People live in the world, who can do anything?What is the use of saying this?

"...In desperation, I had no choice but to return to my old job. I originally thought that I would only be Mr. Qingqu to accompany wine and tea, but I didn't want Laolou's mother to bring two distinguished guests to me that day..."

Gu Zhao was taken aback for a moment: "Your guest?"

Everyone in Qiu nodded, and said, sobbing: "Yes, it is...the two big stewards of Sishui Wangfu and Luwangfu's family. After that, Nu and Xiuzhi got deeper and deeper. It’s just leftover tea soup from those rich and noble people... Lord of the county, you have a clear lesson! What is the origin of slave and Xiu? Those people are nobles, sons and grandsons of the dragon, and what they want is just a matter of words... ...Now, now that I have reached this point, I... that is to say, I am wronged... I have no face, but, but I am really coerced into doing these evil things..."

Speaking of this, everyone Qiu yanked on the head, and pulled off the entire wig cover. Gu Zhao was shocked!A sip of tea leaves went into the wrong way, and all of them went into the trachea!

With their sparse hair on their heads, everyone in Qiu wailed loudly: "Master Jun! Lord Jun! You are wronged! You are wronged!!!! You are really wronged! Look at the appearance of this slave! I also know shame and ugliness... It's been several years since I haven't had a good night's sleep, and I'm worried, and I wish I could just die..."

Gu Zhao coughed violently. He felt that a piece of tea was stuck in his lung tube. He came out, choked out from his nose, slammed the table with one hand, and couldn't make a sound...

Not long after, someone hugged him and helped him beat his back hard one after another. In his ear, he heard Ah Run scolding: "If you don't put the fork out, whoever put such a thing in... will be blind." No!"
