Clam Pearl

Mr. Gao argued aggrievedly, but the onlookers were too indignant to listen to his argument.

"Really, we gave money, and we haven't seen a single piece of rotten food." Gu Zhao sneered, and after laughing, he turned around and thanked the relatives, friends and friends who came to support and helped, and said: "Everyone, please everyone today As a witness, the son of the Gu family and the daughter of the Gu family were taken away by us. They are all good children, with a very good character, and their mother is not kind. Over the years, you have not heard a single complaint. Just this, you can’t say that I am the Gu family. The child is not good. As for Mrs. Gao, from now on, she will die when she dies, and she will live when she is born. It has nothing to do with my Gu family. , our uncle takes care of everything."

The people on this side are naturally praising the Gu family's benevolence and righteousness. We have seen enough of the excitement of this meeting, and they have a clue in their minds. Isn't it just that the Gu family wants to make things big? It's okay. When I go back, I will hold tea parties, flower parties, and poems. Yes, everyone is willing to send a handy favor.

Gu Zhao and Gu Yan looked at each other, and they both breathed a sigh of relief. As long as no one gossips about righteousness and legal principles, this test will be passed for the time being, but this is not enough. Gao's distressed voice is still not low, She has a guard of honor, and the rules of this world still follow her.

Standing in the corner of the courtyard was a servant girl who wanted to come in to inquire but didn't dare, so she poked her head tremblingly.

Gu Zhao pointed at her and cursed: "You go and tell Mrs. Gao that from today onwards, my Gu family's children will be raised by my Gu family, and her life and death have nothing to do with her! My Gu family has severed ties with her. As for her, where does she want to sue? Then go there to sue, my Gu family is not afraid of her, if she dares to come to the door, I dare to see her once, I will hit her once! Tell her to try!"

Gu Yan sighed, took out the contract decision that he had prepared long ago from his bosom, and asked the people around him to press their fingerprints to witness.

There was a commotion here, Gao ran in with a disheveled hair, grabbed Gu Yan and cried, "Uncle..."

"Don't call me uncle, my Gu family has no relatives like you, go back tomorrow and find another ghost marriage for my poor brother, you poisonous woman will not enter my family's ancestral grave!" Gu Yan dodged.

"Don't even think about it! I'm a chaste woman! I'm a widow for Gu Si!!!!" Crying was useless, so Gao sat on the ground and started making a fuss.

Gu Yan sneered: "So what, I won't let you in! Let's see who dares to bury it!" Master Gu is very imposing, and he is quite like a village ruffian.

This was really quite shocking, Gao Shi was a little scared, and turned her face to look for the guard of honor, but unfortunately her old father had already gone back in shame and shame.

Gu Zhao did something unparalleled in the world and earth-shattering, tearing down the widow's wall!For a while, he became the second famous person in the imperial city, and he did it a bit in a daze, so that Gao Shiben whispered about the ladies of several families, but now there is no show there, and he can't do it. Know whether this family lawsuit is won or lost.

The rumor spread widely, and within a few days, even Ah Run heard the gossip from the mountain, and sent him a note with the word "nonsense" on it without an exclamation mark. If there was, Gu Zhao thought it might be a rant.

On the second day of the incident, the queen in the palace issued a decree. Gao committed disrespect by destroying the imperial mansion and other imperial gifts.For the sake of her being a chaste woman, Gao Ming was demoted to the lowest level.

The palace confiscated it unceremoniously. For the sake of being a chaste woman, the queen was merciful and confiscated her money, but gave her a small house with two entrances in a remote village 280 miles away from Beijing. In the courtyard, a family temple was built for her, and several servants with big arms and round waists were sent to serve (take care of) her.

From now on, Mrs. Gao can take her money to chant scriptures and observe festivals in the family temple, and anyone without Yi's decree should not disturb her visit.Naturally, Gao has no purpose and is not allowed to leave the house.

Now, Gao Shi no longer has to worry about others thinking about her money.

In fact, when the ancients did things, they also had the human side of the ancients. For example, Gao Shi, what she did, in terms of legal principles, ancestral rituals, and filial piety, no one can find fault with her. How she treats her children is just hungry If you die, no one else can say anything.

Gu Zhao played a rascal's game, so now he has a notorious reputation of eating and waiting to die. Of course, others just smiled when they heard it, and felt that Gu Qi had a real temperament, appreciated it, and even... wanted to get acquainted , so cute, so fucking ostentatious, and so playful.

Of course, everyone still disagreed with his rebellion against the system. The next day, there were also imperial envoys to join him, and he still had a township baronship anyway.

Generally, everyone is not allowed to discuss these things that Gu Zhao has done, nor to say whether he is right or wrong.

It is completely reasonable, legal and reasonable for the palace to do this. In terms of law, the higher ups protect chaste women, so Gao's money still belongs to her, and it is still given to her servant and her house.

It was also the queen who came forward to punish her, and the emperor himself pretended not to know about it.But Gu Si is kind to the emperor, and the emperor can't speak, so the empress should stand up virtuously, keep Gao away, and not allow her to come out for the rest of her life, this indirect protection of Gu Si's children, in the future, Gao Shi is afraid that there is no way to toss her children anymore.

After punishing Mrs. Gao, Gu Zhao inexplicably accepted the first decree in his life. It was not the emperor's imperial decree, but Yi's decree. He was punished to copy the etiquette Zheng Gong Ji a hundred times.After the father-in-law in the palace read the decree, Gu Zhao was about to die of worry, a hundred times, a hundred times, the feudal society is the most annoying.

The dignified county mansion, a time-traveling, tossing is well known to the world, tearing down walls, shedding tears, kneeling, and ransacking the house, with her own reputation pregnant, the woman who just rolled her head bowed and tossed , tossing around, it's just a piece of tissue paper for the women in the palace, and all problems are solved.

The word "rights" has fascinated the common people since ancient times. Gu Zhao is a little discouraged!

Gu Yan was also called to the palace and scolded, and it is said that after scolding, he left a meal.

"Oh, little Seventh Master, don't worry." The father-in-law from the palace was quacking and laughing in the voice of a male duck. Gu Zhao put his arms around his neck, hugged him and went to the corner of the wall. Give him a big purse.

Then he asked: "This man, what's wrong with me, how did the palace know? You go back and tell the empress that a hundred times is too much... Really, if you can't finish writing, you will die."

The father-in-law covered his mouth and smiled, he was very curious, but he didn't bring it out, he called me brother, I am a father-in-law, how many years has it been?But he didn't know that men who grew up at sea were born rough and cheerful, no matter what generation of men at sea were like this.

"Yo, Master Qi's words are interesting, you will lose your head if you resist the decree!" The father-in-law retreated after saying that with a smile, leaving Gu Qi who sighed and sat on the steps of the house in a daze.

The affairs of the Gu family started in waves, but the recent dandies in Beijing really have new popular items, and they are almost just waiting for dead white folding fans.

"Haha! Qixing! Tell me, your family has been rich for several generations. The word your brother, tsk tsk, is really not very good." The Emperor Tianshou was holding a folding fan, and was laughing at Gu Zhao's handwriting. .

Gu Yan wiped off his sweat and replied: "Xiaoqi, that's... that's my father's spoiling. When the old man was alive, my old man didn't ask him to go to the ground before he was five years old. Later... it was also my fault. Well, the situation was not peaceful at that time, so I threw him into the old house alone. Xiaoqi was most like his father, but he died hard, so he didn't tell others. He took people to the Southland in a fit of anger. He broke through all these years by himself. , never complained. I haven't read many books, but my Xiaoqi is the kindest."

Emperor Tianshou smiled and looked at Gu Yan: "Well... you have a good brother, Gu Xian should feel at ease. Your brothers... are all good, I know."

"Yes, the Gu family has always only had the Holy One in their eyes." Gu Yan bent down.

His Majesty was very happy, swinging the fan of eating and dying in the hall for a while, then took a jade ring from his sleeve and handed it to Gu Yan: "Go, give it to him quietly, just say I reward you, no Say it, you know?"

Gu Yan smiled and blinked his eyes: "Yes! I don't say anything, just copy the etiquette a hundred times, and Xiaoqi will cry to death. Just for his penny, Your Majesty..."

His Majesty waved his fan and said with a laugh: "Go back, etiquette is to be copied, and if you make a mistake, you are wrong..." After finishing speaking, he walked to the back of the hall, and when his back was about to disappear, His Majesty's smiling voice came again. : "I didn't check, and I didn't say when I want it, hahahaha! Hey... Confinement milk? This Gu Qi..."

Gu Yan happily left. His majesty went to the back and changed into casual clothes, and went to the queen's place. These few days, the queen was listening to the art slaves in the palace talking about a Chinese ghost story. Your majesty also liked to hear it, so she went to rub it every night. Book.

When His Majesty arrived, Eunuch Zhang, who had issued a decree from the Queen, just came back and was replying.

Helping the queen up, His Majesty sat down, and asked Eunuch Zhang with a smile: "Have you seen Gu Qi?"

Eunuch Zhang bent over, with a smile on his face: "Go back to Your Majesty, I see, Gu Qi also gave the old slave a big purse." After finishing the joke.

"Hey, how much money has been made, why are you laughing like this?" The queen was also amused when she saw the emperor was happy.

Eunuch Zhang took out a purse from his arms, and held it to the queen with both hands: "Madam, take a look, this old slave has never seen such a purse. On the way back, this old slave opened it up and was overjoyed."

The queen felt strange, so she opened the purse and took a look. She was taken aback for a moment, then, she took out a ball, looked at it carefully, and said with a smile, "This is the Gujiatang, right?"

"Hey, that's it. I've heard people say it in the past. On the way here, I ate a few. Some were sour, some were cold, and they were delicious." Eunuch Zhang still smiled, without hypocrisy at all. Smile, how many years have passed, and no one has given him candy.

The queen looked around, weighed a grain and threw it into her mouth, wrapped it up: "Mmm...Erlang, try it, it tastes good."

The emperor folded his hands in his sleeves and shook his head seriously: "I won't eat."

The queen pursed her lips and smiled, without forcing it, she just quietly pushed the purse down near the emperor's desk.

After a while, the storyteller art slave came in again. The Lanruo Temple in Shangjing only spoke twice a day, saying that the music had not been finished yet.

What I'm talking about today is the scene where Yan Chixia and Ning Caichen go to save Xiaoqian. The group listened very fascinated. After the performance slave finished singing, the queen said sadly: Gu Qi, maybe someone like Yan Chixia, otherwise, how could there be such a compassionate person...Your Majesty?"

When the queen raised her head, she saw that His Majesty was looking at the sky thoughtfully with sugar in his mouth.

Gu Yan returned home happily, and as soon as he entered the door, Gu Zhao threw himself into his arms and cried.Gu Yan patted his head and said with love: "Brother, what's wrong?"

Gu Zhaoyi raised his head: "Brother, I got into trouble."

Gu Yan: "If you break through, just break through, it's okay." His Majesty has already rewarded the jade ring.

Gu Zhao continued to cry: "I confused the jelly bean purse for the girl, and gave it to the eunuch who issued the decree..."

Gu Yan opened his mouth wide to let out a cold breath, and after a long time of struggle, he said, "Give it... just give it..." What else could he say.

Don't talk about Gu Zhao worrying, let's talk about Gu Yan, family affairs, one after another, the old man is a little exhausted, it has been a few days, the Gao family has been demoted out of Beijing, the second child of Gu Xian's family, But Gu Maobing couldn't find it all the time, could it be that someone killed him?Master Gu was very anxious, scratching his head and ears.

Instead, Gu Jinyu said that my younger brother is a runner, but he doesn't have a dedicated desk, so he just messes around.

But, Gu Yan can't just search for various opera theaters with great fanfare, oh, my family lost a child, and that child has become an opera actor, that is to find Gu Maobing, I am afraid that this child will not be able to live anymore, the Gu family lost it Face, that is much more serious than Gao's unkindness.

Therefore, this person has to be found quietly.

Blink, blink, Gao's been out of Beijing for more than a month. At the end of April, the complete book of A Chinese Ghost Story in Beijing was finally finished. This morning, Tao Ruo quietly ran to the main hall and told Master Gu that Gu Maobing had been found. I found it near Lanruo Temple. At that time, he was standing under the window of Lanruo Temple listening to white books. The man's thin face was all in one line, and he was still wearing a pink peach blossom opera girl's dress.

"Didn't anyone see it?" Gu Yan asked in a low voice.

Tao Ruo nodded: "There are still people on the bank reporting the crime, saying that we rob women from good families."

Tao Ruo couldn't describe how shocking he was. The Second Master Gu of his own family was wearing an indistinguishable peach blossom shirt with peach blossom temples, a string of flowers, and a handkerchief in his hand. He was standing under the window of Lanruo Temple listening to a book with his orchid fingers raised. If the owner of the theater hadn't helped him recognize it, it would be Jiao Nuer. He couldn't believe it. This is the man of the Gu family.

I didn't think much about it at the time, I just swarmed up, gagged, tied it up, stuffed it into the sedan chair, and carried it back.

This afternoon, Gu Zhao was copying books in his courtyard, and Nima went back to life more and more.In my previous life, I was single. Although I lived to be 50 years old, I have always been a noble, cheerful, and good man at sea. My own flaws have been a hurdle in my life, so I lost my family and became a sailor. Later, my parents went away. I regretted it, and then I realized that without my parents, I have nothing.

Fortunately, he is cheerful and open-minded by nature, and he hasn't left any bad habits, otherwise he would definitely become a Gao family.

It’s so hard in this life. I have a relative, but I haven’t enjoyed it for a few years. My father died early. Gu Zhao still remembers that at the age of eight, he returned to the half-disabled old village with a bunch of servants who were not needed. , At that time, how panicked he was, if he didn't have a hearty and good man in his 50s, he might not be able to survive.

It's all right now, my brother is in pain, and... There is also a caring person who occasionally offers him to imagine, such a high-level good person, he couldn't even imagine it in his previous life.

But, how, how did he get mixed up in copying and writing?

Gu Zhao almost writes a word, sighs, writes a word, sighs.

Mr. Ding Jiu and Mr. Yu Geng, who were playing chess in the yard, looked at each other dumbfounded, and continued to play chess. Didn't they persuade them at the beginning?

Gu Zhao finally copied an article, put down the brush, took a sip of tea, took a bite of dessert with Niannian's hand, massaged his shoulders carefully, and Xinzi lay there and praised him for his improvement in writing.

This kind of program is probably to write a piece, and to come once.

"Brother Nai, I think, I'm sorry for my fourth nephew, it's too cruel for him to enter the family temple to write, right?" Gu Zhao finally found his conscience.

His fourth nephew, Gu Maochang, was imprisoned by Gu Zhao for selling recommendation books and whoring maids, and he is still writing in the family temple.

Bi Liangli pursed his lips and smiled, and ignored him. He said this several times today, and it was the same yesterday, and it was the same before.

Gu Zhao was complaining here, Tao Ruo ran in and whispered something in his ear, Gu Zhao lost his pen and ink, turned and ran away.

Mr. Yu Geng looked at his back thoughtfully.

"Your Majesty doesn't pursue it, Lord Qi can do whatever he wants, don't worry about Yu Geng." Mr. Ding Jiu made a move on the chessboard.

"That's right, how old is Qi Ye, hey, I'm worried for the ancients." Yu Geng smiled, sat back, and took a nap.

Gu Zhao followed Tao Ruo into the backyard of Master Gu's house. This yard, called Yaoyueyuan, was originally the residence of Gu Yan's eldest daughter, Gu Jinfang, and now it is temporarily occupied by Gu Jinyu.Today, Lu Shi took Gu Jinfang to visit relatives' house again, and she wanted to marry her niece and daughter as quickly as possible.

In the wing room of Yaoyue Garden.

Gu Maobing, curled up on the chair, hugged his legs, and stared out of the room. His face didn't move, but his eyes moved back and forth very nimbly. It's really worthwhile for him to have such a beautiful pair. head.

In this room, famous paintings are hung on the walls, pure gold ornaments are placed on the table, and curtains made of high-quality silk are hung over there. Dad has never seen such wealth when he was alive.After a while, the villain came in, and when he harmed the slave, he found that the slave was a man. Would he kill the slave quietly and bury him in the wilderness?

The slave died as soon as he died, but it was just a muddy body. It's a pity that A Chinese Ghost Story still hasn't finished listening to it. It is not in vain to come to this world to write beautiful songs and wonderful words in this world.

If I die, I will die. I only hope that I can bury the slave in a good grave. If... if my Chixia Lang (Yan Chixia) comes to dream again, this life will be enough...

I died when my slave died. Poor sister Nuna, weaving jingchai and kudzu skirts every day with the clear light until dawn. I don’t know if I can tell my sister in my dream. Forget it, the slave and his elder sister owed that person a debt in the previous life, and they finally have to repay it today, and the slave will go... woo woo...

The more Gu Maobing thought about it, the more sad he became, he hugged his knees and started to cry, his crying was so sad and touching, it was really pitiful.

The wooden door in the room was slowly pushed open, and Gu Yan slowly walked into the room with his hands behind his back, without speaking, just looking at Gu Maobing quietly.

Gu Maobing held his tearful eyes, looked at Gu Yan, and muttered in his mouth: "I saw the uncle in a daze, could it be that he was so hungry these days? Or maybe he felt something in his heart, God has mercy, hey... Uncle , but you are late... (there is a danjiao floweratura here) Wow, I'm leaving soon, uncle, you know, I have come to your door many times, but I have no face to see you, uncle, I will go ,you can……"

Um……?Gu Maobing touched his uncle up and down, and his throat cut out in fright: "It's alive! Huh?"

He covered his face with the veil in fright, raised his orchid fingers, and said, "Shame...shame is shameful..." Well, he moved lightly, hid in the corner of the room, squatted down, hugged his legs, and curled up group.
