Clam Pearl

Wealth is always confusing, is there any smart person in the Gu family?Yes, from Gu Zhao’s point of view, the head of the Gu family has always been very smart. They have gone through two dynasties, and they are very happy to swim in the midst of power without arrogance or rashness. They have little relationship with anyone, but they are not too close. The people who are married are also very noble, and playing in the middle without going forward or backward is very handy.

If you are rich, you will be rich, and your glory is your glory. I have my own reasons for being in the world.

Gu Maode ignored his father's sarcasm, but with tears in his eyes, he hugged his little uncle and called for help. He is an honest man, and Gu Zhao's life will be killed if he behaves like this.

Gu Zhao looked at him dumbfounded, and sighed: "Nephew, get up first, you think too highly of your uncle, who am I, but a lonely orphan, a miserable person who was driven to the old house to struggle alone when he was eight years old. It's not the old brother, who knows the seventh child of the Gu family? He's just a farmer.

If it wasn't for my elder brother's pity and compassion, there are actually some things I don't want to say, you get up first, and we will slowly argue. "

Helping Gu Maode up, Gu Zhao poured water himself, and gave his elder brother Shunqi pills and medicine. During this period, Gu Yan kept silent, just shut up and thought about things, and then Lu Shi sent someone to ask Gu Yan to go Rest, Gu Yan said a word, get out!

Gu Zhao hurriedly went out and said to Hong Yao, who was standing in the yard, tears bursting out of fright, kneeling on the ground and crying, "Go and tell your sister-in-law, my brother drank too much and went crazy. Tonight, stay here , I won’t go back and make trouble with my sister-in-law, let’s talk about the old saying together, go, Brother Nai, give Hongyao a consistent amount of money to buy flowers and clothes.”

His voice was covered up exceptionally well, and his smile revealed the flavor of the New Year.

Only then did Hong Yao get up, collected the money, wiped away her tears, and thanked Master Qi for not mentioning it when she went back.

The three men of the old Gu family sat in the wing room without speaking, each with their own thoughts, they sat until dawn, Gu Yan sighed: "The things that are said and the water that is poured out are like this from top to bottom in the Gu family. Thinking about stuffing them back into their mother's womb and teaching them again? It's too late."

Gu Maode swallowed: "Three families, eight relatives, we take care of ourselves, what about the others? There are thousands of mouths in a family, how many can we block? The roots are intertwined, ears, eyes, and mouths are everywhere, we resign , other old relatives surnamed Gu will still act like this, His Majesty will issue an imperial decree, and the ones who will be punished will still be the Nine Clans, Dad, hey, it is difficult to escape!"

Gu Yan snorted and snorted with a sneer: "Go, I won't go. Your Majesty promised me in the early years that if you don't go to war. The brothers under me, each of them gave Baiguan money to settle down. Later, before the new emperor ascended the throne, he asked He told me that if I supported him, he promised fifty guan, which is fine now, His Majesty doesn’t want to spend a penny, my old buddies and brothers have sacrificed their lives in poverty, this matter cannot be justified! What can’t afford it? He How can the brother-in-law’s army be supported? Go? You can’t go! The emperor has to be reasonable, right?”

Gu Maode was scared out of his wits, so he could only tremble and persuade: "Father, be careful with your words."

Gu Yan looked worried at his timid son, tell me, why did he give birth to such an honest elm bump?

Gu Zhao is also thinking, thinking about the TV dramas, movies, and forums he watched in his previous life. Almost all the stories are the same. From ancient times and even modern times, it is an old rule that the emperor wiped out the meritorious officials. How to break this latent rule? Rules, how to pierce this hard shell that has never changed through the ages is a big problem, not to mention the ancients, modern people can't solve it, the power transfer, political struggle itself is very cruel.

On the fifth watch, the rooster crowed three times, and Gu Zhao sighed: "Brother, go back, don't make things difficult, this matter... leave this matter to me, I will think about it carefully, I will find a way, I will do it myself." We can always find a way to survive in the south, we can always find a way, today is the girl from our Gu family returning to her natal family, my brother just wants to enjoy the happiness with a smile, this matter... I will leave it to my younger brother, I will think about it for a few days, Come up with a rule first, but you must not get angry with those gangsters. Killing a literati hurts more than the old brother's knife..."

There was no way, Gu Yan stretched his dry eyelids, stood up, shook his hand, and patted his younger brother's hand: "Hey, it's lucky that my father gave birth to you, brother, brother, I... hey..." After he finished filming, he pointed at Gu Maode and cursed: "Bastard! If I die early, you should treat your little uncle as filial to me, do you know that!"

Gu Maode nodded, knelt down and swore seriously, but he was also rejoicing in his heart, his grandfather was born really well, and the finishing work was done well in the end, look at how old the little uncle is, he will see the general trend of the world, hey , if not... Hey, I'm in a cold sweat thinking about it, tell me, how did your little uncle grow up, why is it like this... so... weird...

That's right, Gu Zhao's words and deeds are not usually weird.

Gu Maode summed up for a long time, and still attributed Gu Zhao's wisdom to the fact that his grandfather was [-] and gave birth to a little uncle.This matter itself has a legend.

In other words, Gu Zhao himself sometimes finds it strange that at the age of 80, he can still give birth to children. Although his father did behave differently at that time, 88 could eat ten catties of dried meat a day, and could afford a hundred catties of stone locks, but ...does he still have the ability to make living tadpoles?In the past, Gu Zhao also suspected that he was the product of an affair, but unfortunately, his chin and nose were exactly the same as Gu Yanna, so...uh, I can't tell.

But on this day, Gu Maode got a new problem, he didn't love the beautiful concubine, he didn't want the beautiful lady, he also lost his hobby of training young children, so he stayed at Su's every day, He strives to have a lot of branches and leaves before the age of 80, and he doesn't ask for too many, like Xiao Qishu, who seems to be satisfied with half of them. For such a child, two are enough, and of course three are not too many.

Not only him, Gu Yan is also like this. He is tired of following Lu Shi every day, which makes Lu Shi love Gu Zhao. She only regards herself as a sister-in-law in her eyes, and she really doesn't even look at others.

In fact, Gu Zhao has face blindness, and he is afraid of trouble, and he can't remember too many things.His family is as big as a small society, so he doesn't bother to remember.

On the night of the first day of the new year, the master came out of his house, and never went to my concubine's house since then, and only stayed with him, making her over 60, with spring in the corners of her eyes moistened by rain and dew every day, she was at least seven or eight years younger. They are very close to the master, and they can be called the number one model couple in Shanghai.This must be what my uncle said, otherwise, who can listen to the master's temper?

In fact, this is a misunderstanding, but regarding this misunderstanding, the person concerned is very willing to be thought so by others, and intentionally twisted it here, passing it back and forth, it seems that the Gu family is very strict about the rules, just respecting the first-law wife, everyone in Beijing Well, the Gu family is a well-behaved family that can be ranked.

Gu Zhao locked himself in the room from the first day to the fifteenth day of the junior high school. He didn't think of any thoughts, but there was one harvest. His feet were healed, not only healed, but the scars disappeared after the scars went Set aside.

That day, Gu Zhao took a bath and sat in the room with his feet raised. His nanny Bi Liangli held his feet with a set of pedicure tools and repaired them for him. After talking all day and night, his nanny It's a different person. In the past, Nai Ge often behaved like an elder, such as not sleeping well, looking at him with reproachful eyes, not eating well, staring at him, etc...

After that day, Brother Nai was very humble, and he did what he was called, which made Gu Zhao very awkward, but he didn't correct it after the awkwardness was over.Because everyone has their own position in the world, and if they don't clarify their position, they will make mistakes.

Hey, you gotta know what you are.

A pair of good feet, tender and white after being cleaned up by Bi Liangli, were also smeared with honey, and wrapped in a medicinal cloth to keep them up.

Gu Zhao lay on his back, thinking about his mind. These days, he thought of a thousand ways, taking the Dream of Red Mansions he watched in his previous life as an example, he thought of a thousand feasible ways to rescue Jia's family, but in the end they were all shot.

Where is Jia's real mistake?No follow-up up-and-comers?Disregarding human life?Usury?Don't pay back the money borrowed from the court?In bloom?Cooking oil in the fire?Wrong... People who don't understand the beauty of power think so.

Hmm... In front of the real power class, these are small mistakes, not wrong, really small things that can't be smaller, these things are just benefits given by rights, it should be, rights have reached a certain level, these things are just subsidiary products That's all.

What is the purpose of being an official since ancient times?It's all about glory and wealth, otherwise who will be an official?Officials use their power to make things easier for themselves, what can they do?Which family has no wife and children, and whose family is not old and weak?Ten years of studying hard and fighting for life in the battlefield, who will go to no good!They all want their loved ones to live a more comfortable and affluent life, as long as it is not exaggerated, this!It must be allowed, yes, there is nothing wrong with it, buy some cheap foundations, go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to talk to people about love, and make more good clothes. What should have been a sedan chair for four people has become a sedan chair for six people...

Hey, as long as your class is there, these are fine, as long as the emperor likes you, no one cares about you.It's like stealing food in the morning, the emperor likes you, he will pretend not to see, and even think you are cute.If the emperor doesn't like you, someone will come out and take you as a model, help the emperor hate you, and beat you.

There are too many unspoken rules, and everyone knows that it is a problem, but everyone will not say that this matter is a matter, if that idiot stands up to take care of this matter, then this person will definitely be driven out by the power class and become a Outsiders, bad luck is not far away.

For example...Hai Rui, such a pure man with a clean personality, but the emperor hates him, wishing that he would die.

Exaggeration is a degree, and this degree should reach a certain level, just like the Gu family. To put it bluntly, his family is now in charge of life lawsuits, so that's it.Not only his family, but other people's families also stretched out their hands to take care of it. This is how the word relationship came about. Whoever has something to do, who should read the law book first?The pigs only read it, and they all went to find a relationship first.

Therefore, the biggest mistake of the Jia family is that they did not see their social status clearly, did things that did not conform to their social status, and surpassed it.

Coupled with the family status of the fifth rank, if you go to bring a big face, you won't flatter, control too much, have a bad attitude, don't know the height of your eyebrows, and more importantly... If the emperor doesn't like you, you will be unlucky Yes, it's that simple.

Don't talk about justice and axioms, the principles of feudal society are only held in the hands of one person, that is the emperor, so, if he likes to manage, you are wrong, he is responsible, you make allowed mistakes within the scope of your rights, as long as no one If you know that you will not cause public anger, and no one mentions it, who cares about you?

Now, the Gu family is on this delicate fault line, and they will lose their strength when they see it. If there is a big hole in the future, no one will block it, and Gu Yan will be 66.At most another five years, he can't always stand in the latrine and not shit, can he?

Gu Yan, with the highest official position, served as Youcheng in Zhongshu Province. Although he stayed in the center of power, there were no more than three people on his head, all of whom were representatives of literati and spiritual leaders. Miraculously clever man.

These three talents are first-class ministers of power, and Jinshang is a diligent one. Sometimes the Ministry of Education is just empty-handed. The problems left by the war have not yet been finely divided.

Gu Yan is a rough person, he wants to change, he wants to do things to save, he can't find a way to curry favor with these three, it's been decades, it's too late, curry favor with the above, these people are not young In addition, he really disdains in his bones, how many years of old grievances.

Fortunately, he also listened to what his younger brother said. Anyway, when he couldn't be unlucky, he had to think about it if he asked those literati to step on him together.

So after walking around the house for a few times, rough people have rough ideas. On the morning of the first February, Gu Yan did a very subtle and lovely thing. This thing made the whole literati They thought this person was extremely cute, and the warrior class also thought that Lao Gu was just like that, very straightforward, so they didn't think much of it, so they laughed a few times.

This morning, Gu Yan was not like before, sitting in his ceremonial car and dozing off. A few days ago, he studied the literati in the court, and he thought about it for half a month. Finally, he finally thought of someone , this person, surnamed Xu, surnamed Wenlu, with a clean character and a low official position, is a doctor of the Ministry of Rites of the fifth rank.

Xu Wenlu is not a big official, but he has good articles. In his early years, he wrote a book called "Yangming Yuanxinlu", which is a good book to educate people. Anyone who reads loves this book The book is given to children as an example for enlightenment.

This book pushes Xu Wenlu to a certain social and spiritual level. Among the poor scholars, Xu Wenlu has quite a social status. He is also considered to be a lot of disciples. Of course, compared to many great Confucians, he is nothing compared to many great Confucians from aristocratic families.

Scholars from aristocratic families and scholars from poor families have been two schools since ancient times. When Gu Yan approached Xu Wenlu, he started with the good ones. This is to learn the art of war. The enemy of the enemy is my friend.

Compared with Xu Wenlu's moral articles, Xu Wenlu's best writing is travel notes. It's a pity that, these days, who reads travel notes, but Mr. Gu Yangu, so many books, except for military books, can also be swallowed A book of travelogues.In addition, Xu Pinlian is the most straightforward person.

So, Mr. Gu unceremoniously attacked Xu Wenlu and Mr. Pinlian.

Mr. Xu Wenlu has a problem. Every morning, he gets up very early. On the way to Tongtian Road, he has to stop and eat a set of five-flavored pork porridge and two big naan pancakes at the roadside stall that sells breakfast.

The early morning stalls of the fourth and fifth shifts are mostly reserved for officials. Many small officials have no home in Beijing, and they can't even afford a stove with their houses, so they usually settle at this stall.

Mr. Xu Wenlu's family is not bad, but he likes to eat a taste of his hometown. On the way to the court, there is Jiataiji, which is the authentic taste of his hometown.Therefore, he patronizes this porridge every morning, which has become a part of his life.

It is said that Mr. Gu went up to court, and on this way, he lifted the curtain of the car furtively, looked on the road, looked, finally saw Taiji, and at a glance, he saw Xu Pinlian sitting by the window on the first floor of Taiji , so he screamed at the top of his voice.

"Brother Pinlian! I finally found you!"

Poor Mr. Pinlian, just after taking a mouthful of five-flavored porridge, he spurted it out in one gulp, and headed straight for Mr. Zhang opposite...
