Clam Pearl

After Gu Zhao got excited, he realized that he had caused trouble. He raised his thumb embarrassingly, turned over and ran away. His brother got angry and yelled: "Stinky boy, shoot me!" The two brothers were arguing, and Gu Maobing floated into the backyard, holding a bunch of historians, historians, and historians in his hands.

Gu Zhao stopped, and hurriedly asked Tao Ruo to help his elder brother take out the cloth handkerchief and outer robe, and play with it. If this old thing is sick, it will break down, and the sister-in-law can cry herself to death.

After packing up, the counterfeiting group of the old Gu's family sat on the stone drum beside the school grounds and started a serious discussion.

Gu Yan read the article written by Gu Maobing over there. Gu Zhao helped him wipe his hair with a cloth towel. He refused to look at the front. Seeing a handsome man with disheveled hair is a spiritual enjoyment, and seeing an old man with disheveled hair is a huge stimulus, which is unbearable.

Gu Zhao was rubbing happily, when he suddenly saw strands of white hair under the layer of black hair on brother's surface, which had grown into a climate and was about to come out in patches.

Feeling his hands stop behind him, Gu Yan turned to look at Gu Zhao: "Xiaoqi?"

Gu Zhao raised his head and smiled, didn't say much, but the strength of his hand was much lighter, and he wiped it there one by one. After wiping, he also massaged Gu Yan, from his head to his shoulders, making him sweat profusely.

Gu Maobing sat obediently, looking at his uncle and little uncle enviously.Quiet about the brotherhood on the uncle's side, and then look at my own home. A few days ago, my eldest brother Gu Maojia wrote a letter, asking me to go to my natal home to wear sackcloth and mourning. They are close relatives anyway, so how could they break the feud? Why didn't he go by himself?

In the past, he was a coward, but he didn't expect to be so cowardly. He ran away with his family. Poor sister spent her youth raising herself these years, and that guy didn't even dare to come and see her quietly.Now it seems that he is most like his mother, not only cowardly, but also selfish.

"Well, this article is beautifully written, much better than before. Uncle can't find any faults. Wait until your little uncle reads it. He is better than me." Gu Yan put down the article and looked at Gu Maobing lovingly. .

"Well, let it go, I'll help you with your hair, brother..."

"kindness?"

"I have the best Shouwu, black beans, walnuts, and black sesame. From now on, you ordered them to boil the paste for you to drink every day, a bowl every day."

"What can I drink every day?"

"This paste is good. It can blacken your hair and keep you healthy. You can drink it with your sister-in-law. I'll ask them to bring it when I get back."

Gu Yan doesn't like to drink messy things, so he naturally resisted: "I can't finish the soup every day, and they say I'm not good. Look at the No. 73 Gu's gun that your brother and I are playing. That's your fifth brother. You played well, but you..."

The two brothers saw that they were about to argue again, but Tao Ruo came running up and down and said, "Hou Huanhai, the left servant of the Ministry of Punishment, and the Lord Hou is here."

The old Gu's family and the Hou's family were a fateful friendship, and they had a very good relationship in the previous generation. Although most of the old Hou's family were civil servants, his family's temper was upright. When the old man was alive, he often followed Hou Huanhai's family. Dad eats wine together, plays chess and plays chess, and now the two families are also very close, like Hou Huanhai's son, who has a good relationship with Gu Maochang, and they often form a party together to go outside to cause trouble.In the past, if Gu Maochang got into trouble, he would run to Hou's house to hide, and Hou Bai would also go to Lao Gu's house to hide if he got into trouble, which shows how good the relationship between the two families is.

But he said, Gu Yan tidied himself up, and hurried to the front hall. He had been sick for a while and kept hiding, otherwise, seeing him today was always inexplicably worried, and he asked some questions that he couldn't answer. This problem made Mr. Gu very depressed. Last year he had a serious illness, and this year he asked for leave, saying that he had suffered from an old illness.When he was ill, His Majesty was very pleased and rewarded a lot of things.

After entering the front hall, Gu Yan smiled as soon as he entered the door: "Oh, old queen, why is Zun Tier willing to come into our small shabby house, not afraid of getting your hooves dirty, and when you go back, my sister-in-law will blame me for spoiling you?"

Today Hou Huanhai wore a curly crown and a crow-blue straight-collared gown. He held a folding fan in his hand, and instead of opening it, he just lit it up and down with his right hand. While painting "Goshawk Catching Snake", when he heard that Gu Yan's mouth started to sound cheap again, he was not polite, and he also scolded: "I haven't seen you for a few days, I'm afraid you will die, so I'll take a look, so I can pick some cheap ones." .”

Gu Yan grinned, sat down, and asked his subordinates to serve good tea and preserved fruits. Nowadays, the Gu family has a special way of treating guests, all of which are preserved and dried fruits. Other families don't have the village of Seventh Uncle, so they can't do this.

Then the adult sat down, threw the folding fan aside, pointed at the painting and commented: "Mr. Xu Gumu's eagle painting is getting better and better. It is hard to find a painting on weekdays. You don't understand it, so you might as well give it to me. I'll give you a New Year picture, a boy holding a carp, very festive."

Gu Yan laughed: "Oh, this painting was given to three live northern eagles by my second child in exchange for honoring me. You also have sons, so go with them."

Later, the adult picked up a piece of preserved fruit and threw it into his mouth. After chewing it a few times, he said in distaste: "I don't have that filial son, and I don't have a good brother. The Northland Eagle was given by your family, Gu Shan, right?"

Gu Yan nodded: "That's right, it's the second child. The boy has been in a hurry these days, and has been sending things to Beijing, exploring the way, for fear that His Majesty will take him down that day. Hey, I am so beautiful when he comes down." He even showed off to me a few days ago. Today, he got a few goshawks, leopards, and little tigers. How is Beidi doing well? How majestic the tigers he raises are, um...very good, I If you raise a bird or a dead bird, or if you raise a cat or a dead cat, he won’t be able to come back, so we just happen to be brothers and sisters for company.”

Hou Huanhai shook his head lightly: "Your Majesty, it must be the one who wants to move your family. Those who are in charge these days, who can escape, are worried about Da Chaoshang now, and there is not even one who coughs casually. Your Majesty I'm very happy, I praised a few words, but now it's a bit of a rule to go up."

Gu Yan sneered a few times, but did not answer. After hearing that, Huanhai said again: "Today, it was Gao Qixian, Gao Shilang, who suddenly asked me if I saw you. I said I haven't seen you for a long time, and he said, I don't know now Can Mr. Gu sleep? He flicked his sleeves and left after finishing speaking. In the past, the relationship between your two families was good, but now, how did this happen? It’s three lives!"

Gu Yan sneered: "That's true. Could it be that my old Gu, who had nothing to do after eating enough, ran to his family temple in the middle of the night and strangled them to death one by one? There's no reason for this old Gao to hate him. He also has the nerve to say Me, I want to ask, can he sleep when his cousin abuses my Gu family's children and grandchildren?"

Hou Huanhai sighed, tapped his finger on the table lightly, and after knocking for a while, asked: "Is it true that we are no longer dating?"

"Yo, three lives, I want to get in touch, and people have to be willing. If you don't get in with, you don't have to. No one owes anyone. It's hard for an upright official to break up housework. Don't make things difficult for me when I'm old. I know you are here for reconciliation. There is nothing to say about this matter. Tell me, if you say that, do you take my fourth sister-in-law out of the temple, or ask my Xiaoqi to wear hemp and mourning? Oh, trouble In the end, it was my family who didn't care? Are these people blind? Honest people can't keep stepping on poles, can they?"

After hearing this, the adults could only sigh and talk about other things. The thing he said was originally a happy event. He wanted to betroth his young daughter Su'e to Gu Maochang. It's up to the man to bring up the matter, but now he can't take care of it anymore. My lord and Gu Yan both know that in the past two years or so, every family has their own sources of news. This will be the end of the country's filial piety. After all, Su'e is 21. In the past, this girl loved Danqing, and she also wrote good poems, so her eyes were very high. Now, I'm afraid I don't have time to choose for her.

Gu Yan is naturally satisfied. He is very willing to be this relative, but he is a bit overrated. You must know that Su'e is a talented and good-looking son. Not at home.

"Yo, why are you willing to do that? That donkey dung ball in my house is just a shiny surface. It doesn't matter what you want. Su'e is so good, why are you willing to throw her into the fire pit of my house!" Gu Yan was modest, her beautiful face wrinkled It has become a chrysanthemum pattern.

Later, the adult glanced at him and sneered: "You look down on the big ones. I know more about Maochang's virtues than you. Do you think I look up to him? Look at him. My girl accumulates manure at home, and I won't give him a pigsty. I am Look at you, look at sister-in-law."

Gu Yan was taken aback: "Hey, I don't understand that?"

Hou Huanhai took a few sips of tea and sighed: "Su'e was smart since she was a child, and I raised her as a boy. This raised her a proud temper, and only poetry, calligraphy and painting are left in her eyes. The parents-in-law of that family in the world are not expecting their daughter-in-law to carry on the family line and take good care of their kid, such things as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are useless."

Gu Yan shook his head vigorously: "Who said it's useless, you look at my house, beating your sister-in-law to the sixth daughter-in-law, they are all rude and temperamental, when we are together on weekdays, the voice is so loud that it scares people to death, I don't like this little girl , draw a bird, embroider a small flower or something, that's what a woman's family does, you don't know, Du Shi from the Lao Wu's family, hey... I don't remember back then, when I was trapped in Beiliu In Yu County, in the middle of the night, they shouted that the reinforcements came, which was so beautiful to us. They ran out to pick them up, and Du Shi from the old Wu's family, holding two steel knives, rode at us on horseback, and that was also a woman! "

"You can rest, isn't the old four's family soft-spoken and soft-spoken? Back then, the female worker didn't say anything about the jackets and shoe soles they embroidered for the fourth brother. She is also the best among your brothers and daughters-in-law. Is it rare to see you?"

"Don't mention that funeral star, it's bad luck..." Before Gu Yan finished speaking, Tao Ruo ran in from outside to report: "My lord, my lord is not good. There are a few scholars who live in an old temple outside the city. Our family posted a pair of couplets. The first couplet is: Blue sky and white day, Gu Xiaoqi loyally and courageously pushed the widow's wall. The second couplet is: Lang Lang Qiankun Gao's female package humiliates and hangs the family temple. These sour people, this is not ridicule seven Father!"

Gu Yan stomped his feet angrily, pointed at the master and cursed: "What did I say, what did I say, you stinky mouth, look at the good ones, the bad ones, bad luck, bad luck!"

Master Hou Huanhai was also shocked, covering his mouth in a daze for a moment, and immediately said: "These plague students are lawless, hurry up and order someone to strip them, hurry up, what a good reputation it is to spread to Beijing!"

Tao Ruo responded and ran out, but Gu Yan called to him: "Come back, where are you going!"

Tao Ruo had no choice but to run back and looked at his master eagerly. Gu Yan walked around the room a few times and told Tao Ruo: "Go and invite your seventh master here."

After ordering, he sat back and drank the teacup while thinking about things. Hou Huanhai was surprised. This Gu Yan has always gone his own way and has a strong temper. Now he has learned to discuss with others?

After a while, Gu Zhaota pulled clogs, came from the backyard in a waist sedan chair, got off the sedan chair and entered the house. He had never seen the Empress before, so Gu Yan introduced him to him, but the Empress said anxiously: "Where can I take care of this?" , you hurry up and tell Lao Qi, and hurry up to discuss a charter."

Gu Yan nodded and told the story again. Gu Zhao was stunned when he heard it. Was this ancient man very good at making use of public opinion? Needless to say, who was behind this incident, the Gao family, this is trying to win sympathy , Find a way out for the girl from the Gao family.

"Xiaoqi, what do you have, tell me quickly, it's going to be a panic." The adult later urged.

Gu Zhao sat down gracefully, smiled and said: "It's not a big deal, isn't it just to gain fame. If my brother doesn't care, then let him go. I'm not feeling well these days, my brother, anyway. It's also three lives, so I'll bear it for no reason. If my brother doesn't want it, it's easy, how they play, how can we return it, but in this way, we don't give those innocent girls a second chance. Get back a little bit."

Gu Yan stared: "Tell me first, why do you return it?"

Gu Zhao smiled: "It's just adding a few words after the couplet. At the end of the first couplet, add three words 'push it well'; in the second couplet, add three words 'whose fault'"

Master Hou Huanhai suddenly stood up from his seat, turned around in the room, and muttered in his mouth: "In the blue sky and white day, Gu Xiaoqi is loyal and brave enough to push the widow's wall. Whose fault is Diaojiamiaoliang... Well, it's great, although the connection is jerky, but the meaning of what to say is already there, so we should push it! It's not our fault. Go, write, and find that strange face Adding it is even better.”

Gu Yan hurriedly stopped him: "Write what you want, forget it, if you force things, it will make a big fuss, hey... It's just wronged Xiaoqi to resist this bad reputation."

Gu Zhao looked at his brother and nodded. Although the old brother is a rough person, after all, he is kind-hearted and willing to give the Gao family a way to survive. He smiled indifferently and said, "What reputation can I have, no matter how evil I am To live and die? That’s it, men live a career, women rely on that idea to gain fame, forget it, let them do it.”

Afterwards, Lord Huanhai sat for a while, seeing that the brothers of the Gu family were not happy, so he hurriedly changed the topic and talked about the marriage between Su'e and Maochang. When Gu Zhao heard that it was exciting, his gossip factors suddenly swelled, and he kept saying : "Hey, it's a good thing, our family has been unlucky recently, so it's good to rush."

There was a reprimand from outside the house, and Lu Shi held Hong Dan's hand and entered the room, complaining a series of complaints in his mouth: "Xiaoqi is talking nonsense again, what does she think of Su'e, a bride of Chongxi? Your brother is also stupid, this What can you guys say about this matter, I'll go to Su'e Niang to discuss this matter. Hey, thanks to Huanhai, we know that our family is a bunch of rude people. If you can't speak, don't talk about it, you will save yourself from getting married and becoming enemies, oops, I won't make it if I don't worry about it for a while."

Gu Zhao blinked his eyes, was he out of time again?What did he say wrong?

Mrs. Lu was very curious about Su'e, who was in the empress's house, and wished she could rush to her house at this moment. They sat there, chattering about some children's marriages, and then she rushed to the back to pick out a new yard. , I went to renovate my son's house.

Seeing Lu's departure, Master Hou took up the teacup and started gossiping with Gu Yan again. He said something, this is not the past few days, His Majesty's money is tight, and he can't get money everywhere, it's natural So he punched wildly. Speaking of it, the queen wanted to please His Majesty, so she checked the cost of going back and forth in the inner court.

Afterwards, the lord put down the teacup and sighed: "Hey, no one would have thought of this. In the past, the auditing of accounts was done lightly, for fear of involving the old relative.

After that, there is an inextricable relationship.Now the two above are not going to bear it anymore, big and small, dragging one to implicate a bunch of others, I went to take a look yesterday, His Majesty will lose face this time, and those who are locked up are all The daughter of the old palace who has gone through two dynasties, the old eunuch.Forget about the old maids, you say, those old eunuchs, who have no children, what are they doing with so much money?A eunuch Guo who is in charge of ice charcoal in Guanghouting can earn this amount in a year. "

Then the adults made a gesture.

Gu Yan clicked his mouth, this matter is a clear one, the above and below are all tacit, who would have thought that a second-class eunuch can earn so much, this majesty is also poor and crazy, who would think now? If you get money from him, you'll be fine if you're full, and you'll have nothing to think about yourself.

Gu Zhao didn't interrupt, just smiled and accompanied. After that, my lord had the potential of a mother-in-law. The eunuch bought a big mansion in Shangjing, and there was a big house with three entrances that belonged to the old lady.

Listening to this, Gu Zhaohu became angry. These days, he often thinks, now that the stone is ready and the book has started to be written, when these things are done, how can these things be presented properly? ?How can His Majesty discover it naturally without suspecting that it was done on purpose?

A few days ago, he thought about going to Tongtian Dao if he didn't succeed, and trying to dig a hole at night, plant a land mine, and make a bang, as scary as he wanted, so that the onlookers could see it, hey, the thing is real up.

He also thought about it, if it doesn't work, he will put the things somewhere in the inner palace first, and then point the whole magnifying glass to the house of the person above in the distance.

If it really doesn't work, he went to the Emperor's Temple to find a place, dig a hole, bury some bean sprouts under it, wait for the bean sprouts to sprout, and then push out the golden roll...

There are so many ways, Qi Ye's head is very messed up, it looks like it is a good way, but when you think about it carefully, there are many doubts.The most important thing is that it takes a lot of effort to manage that kind of thing.

Look at Gu Qiye's thinking, maybe he hates someone above him so much, whether it's burning down other people's houses, blowing up other people's avenues, or demolishing other people's imperial temples.

Now that my lord is goingssip, Gu Qiye really came up with a good idea. The whole set is natural. The good idea from the TV series of later generations lit up the light in Gu Qiye's mind. .

Mr. Gu Qi walked up to Lord Empress with a smile on his face, held his hand affectionately, stroked it affectionately twice and said, "Hey, Brother Empress, you are so talented, and I am too..."
