Clam Pearl

Just after the new year, Gu Zhao was released.This guy was bored and irritable, so as soon as the ban was lifted, he took Xizai and Xinzai to the street.

When Gu Zhao went out, he still rode Xiaoyu. The animal had been bored for the whole winter, so he barked a few times as soon as he went out, and wanted to run away.However, the place where this family lives is close to the imperial palace. Gu Zhao is usually restrained and not arrogant. How can he be like this animal.

Therefore, it was Xiaoyu who trotted in front, and Xizai who kept pulling the rein behind.

"Honey, you're all castrated. It's meaningless to run fast. Don't be so passionate. It's useless." Gu Zhao patted Xiaoyu's neck and comforted him for a long time before the guy shook the bell on his neck aggrievedly and began to rattle. , Strolling around in Shangjing.

When Gu Zhao came out this time, he went to Fangshi near Tongleli. Since last year, one after another started to open antique shops there.

This is a good thing, and it is a good sign that the country is gradually moving towards stability. Whether others know it or not, Gu Zhao knows it. According to his mentality of a small citizen, it is necessary to get some cheap money.Because, the antique shop at the moment has just started, and no one has faked it.

Xiaoyu is a very shrewd animal, and he is reluctant to take an extra step. When he reaches the familiar little cross, he stops. As long as Gu Zhao pats his neck, it will go in the left and right directions.

Gu Zhao didn't go to many places, that is, his brother's house, two places in Tongle, and other places, Gu Zhao wanted to go, but he was afraid of causing trouble to others.There are not many entertainment items and places with many people, someone has already set rules for him, he is not allowed to go!In a private place with few people, don't even think about it.As for the vegetable market and the small street, what are you going to do?Do you want to buy groceries?It can be seen that Gu Zhao's spare time in ancient times was very lonely and bitter.

Xiaoyu carried Gu Zhao on her back, walked slowly for the time of two sticks of incense, and saw Tongleli as soon as she saw it.As soon as they entered the alley, all the shopkeepers of the antique shop in Tongle heard the camel bell, shaking their wits one by one, holding a bag of wheat and beans, opened the mouth of the bag, and spread the smell with their palms.

Gu Zhao was overjoyed when he saw it, what do you say?His reputation is not as high as Xiaoyu's?

Xiaoyu raised her head, her left and right eyes fluttered with her oversized nostrils, and she headed towards the door of a shop called Qingzhizhai. When she arrived, she lay down on the ground obediently, and Gu Zhao supported Xizai's subordinates. camel.The shopkeeper named Pang Er smiled and came forward to salute, and sang a fat promise: "Hey, Mr. Jun, are you free today?"

Gu Zhao came down, reached out and took two fried soybeans from the bag in his hand, threw them into his mouth, chewed them and said, "Well, I'm free, you are so good, I know this guy likes sweet things."

Pang Er laughed, lowered his head and begged quietly: "Hey, that's it, Mr. County, please keep your voice down. They will find out tomorrow, so you won't come to sit at our house. It doesn't matter if you buy it or not. If you keep stepping on my threshold all the time, I don't think so."

Gu Zhao smiled, casually threw the whip to Xizai, and entered the Qingzhizhai with his hands behind his back.

For the house of Qingzhizhai, I bought the old wooden second floor in Tongle. The house is not very decorated, and there is no big counter in the house as in ordinary stores. Instead, there are a few more seats by the window. Next to it are two big book cases.On the desk, there are quite exquisite, pen, ink, paper and inkstone, blank bamboo scrolls, and pen knife.

Gu Zhao entered the room, first took a look at the things on the shelf, and then sat by the window, and said to Pang Er: "I asked you to collect the things for me last year, is there anything?"

Pang Er suddenly looked puzzled: "Your Majesty, the things you want are really not suitable for antiques. The craftsmen are all oral, and there are records!"

Gu Zhao nodded: "I know this, but I often hear them say that many craftsmen are illiterate and often sell the handicraft books at home as antiques, so I want to have a look. If you don't have it, don't have it!"

Pang Er nodded, looked at Gu Zhao, and felt that he was in a good mood, so he asked cautiously: "Young Master, although there are not many handicraft books, a few days ago, my little slave accidentally collected a few volumes of farm songs and uploaded them. Otherwise, would you like to take a look?"

Gu Zhao's heart moved, but his face was still the same, with a half-smile, he said: "Take it and have a look, I don't farm the land. By the way, if you have old jade, let me have a look."

"Sure, then sit down first." Pang Er bowed again.After bowing, he was not in a hurry to go to the back. He first took the good tea himself, and offered it to Gu Zhao with both hands, and then wanted to light a burner of incense, but Gu Zhao immediately refused: "I'm not particular about this, this thing is hot on the eyes. "

After hearing this, Pang Er stopped his hands and laughed happily: "That is, they often say that the fruit fragrance from the county master's house is the only one in Shangjing. I beg you to do something. When you are happy someday, take that If you don’t like it, if it’s rotten, you can reward the small ones with a few bucks, so that the small ones can also open their eyes, and let the small ones keep their old nostrils.”

Gu Zhao didn't take a sip of tea, swallowed it with a smile, then took the handkerchief, covered his mouth, and squinted at him, he knew that the old guy was joking, but he couldn't imitate Gu Maochang outside, he always White skin and big tits, ah ha ha ha.So I was holding back, and when I was done holding back, I put down my veil and waved my hand: "Don't sell your mouth, you should hurry up and get me something."

Pang Er nodded, and ran to the back. After a while, he directed the staff to carry a wooden box out and open the cover.He said there were two volumes of peasant songs, but in fact there were more than two volumes. There may be more than twenty volumes in the box.These days they are considered old things, they are all carved on bamboo scrolls with a knife and pen, and the contents of a paper book cost more than twenty bamboo scrolls.

Gu Zhao stretched out his hand to take a scroll, slowly spread it out on the desk, and began to read it carefully.Pang Er didn't dare to disturb him, so he quietly stood aside to serve.

As time passed by, Gu Zhao looked at it seriously and got something in his heart. He thought of some old things a few times, and took the pen and ink on the case table and wrote them down. His right-hand handwriting has been practiced in the past few years, which is barely correct.Now, he dared to draw the word in front of people...

As I was writing, there were several voices of greeting each other outside the store. After a while, the door of the store was opened, and three scholars in blue Confucian uniforms walked in. The style of the clothes seemed to be students who studied in Guozixue. Sir.

Pang Er hurried up to say hello: "Masters, this way please."

Those scholars saw someone reading bamboo scrolls over there, so they didn't bother them, but subconsciously slowed down their steps, walked along the Bogu shelf, and looked towards Gu Zhao while walking, there was no way, Gu Zhao At this time, he has been nourished by this era for a long time, whether it is temperament or demeanor, coupled with his appearance, he is a top-notch person wherever he goes. It is normal for anyone to see him and not love him, and it is normal for people to look at him more.

"Huh? I seem to have seen this brother there before!" Suddenly, a long-faced scholar made a remark.His voice was too loud, and immediately destroyed the elegance in the antique shop that was finally brought out by Gu Zhao.

Gu Zhao's body softened, and he almost fell down. He seemed to have heard this sentence before, where is it?

A square-faced scholar standing next to the long-faced scholar hurriedly stopped him and said: "Shanchang doesn't know how to restrain himself, and I won't come out with you next time, really..."

After the Facebook scholar finished speaking, he hurriedly walked up to Gu Zhao to make amends: "Brother, forgive me, he is kind and outspoken. He is always scolded by his husband because of his recklessness, and he has a bad temper. Actually, he is very nice Yes, it's just..." The Facebook scholar said, and as he spoke, he also felt that he had seen Gu Zhao there, so he couldn't help but stay for a while, then suddenly turned around, which shocked Gu Zhao!

The square-faced scholar walked quickly to the door of the store, opened the curtain, and shouted to the other side of the street, "Yue Ernong, did your family lose a younger brother!!!" After the man finished shouting, he couldn't wait. He ran straight to the street, dragged a person in and dragged him in front of Gu Zhao, saying, "Look, isn't it?"

When Gu Zhao saw this person, he was shocked immediately. This person was taller and stronger than Gu Zhao, and his skin was darker, but his appearance was at least seven or eight points similar to Gu Zhao. If there is a difference, I'm afraid Yes, this person can be regarded as the rough embryo before the porcelain enters the kiln, and Gu Zhao is probably the new porcelain fired, but no matter how it changes, the basic shape is the same.

"Are you A Zhao's cousin?" The man was startled when he saw Gu Zhao, and suddenly remembered that day when his father came home and told him that his little cousin, A Zhao, grew up with him like a mother's child. .Seeing you today, this must be my cousin.

Gu Zhao was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly remembered that his uncle kept saying that he looked like an aunt. Could it be that this is the child of my aunt?No, if it's my aunt's child, then I shouldn't call him my cousin!These literati are really beating around the bush when they talk. Why are you like your mother and not his family, and you are so sure, so you are here waiting for him!

So Gu Zhao nodded and said, "Which one are you from the Yue family?"

Yue Duzhi smiled, and came over to look at Gu Zhao intimately. He didn't like it in his heart, so he reminded: "Cousin, I am your cousin of Du, and my father is Mr. Shui Jing." After finishing speaking, he himself Embarrassed there.His mother had reminded him that even though he was related to the county government, he must never leave, so as not to be brought into bad reputation.But now, looking at this cousin, he is clearly a person who is like a jade tree, why did he lead himself to ruin?

Gu Zhao saw that he was kind to him, but he couldn't slap him in the face in front of outsiders, so he smiled: "It's my cousin, I thought you were going back to Dehui for the New Year..." He thought for a while, and then said bluntly Continued: "I was ordered by the sage to introspect at home, and I can't go there, so I didn't go to visit. Uncle, aunt is in good health."

The pair of cousins ​​greeted each other in embarrassment, Yue Duzhi didn't expect the little cousin to be so shameless that he said in front of him that he was imprisoned by the sage!Immediately, this well-behaved young man who is usually very rigorous, self-disciplined, and well mannered, didn't know what to say.

Pang Er was so obedient, he ordered the young man to bring good tea and invite these people to sit down and talk.

Yue Duzhi coughed a few times, and when he saw that Gu Zhao had sat down first, he pulled his classmates over and said, "Let me introduce you."

Yue Duzhi's name is Ernong, so when his square-faced classmate saw Gu Zhao sitting calmly facing his cousin, he couldn't help but feel awkward, and said, "Brother Nong, this one, why is it like this?" ?”

Yue Duzhi didn't know what to say, but he still forced a few classmates to introduce him to Gu Zhao. Gu Zhao still sat and watched them, which seemed very rude.

"Zhifang, Hu Xuan, Wan Pu, I'm here to introduce you, this is Duke Pingjiang...Gu Zhao...that...is my cousin..."

This introduction was embarrassing, but reasonable.Gu Zhao has a second-rank title and a suspended fourth-rank official position. From nowhere, it is impossible to make friends with Yue Duzhi's schoolmates. Now that the teachers of these students see Gu Zhao, they also want to salute. Respectfully, I want to call the Duke of the county.

These few felt impolite at first, then they were startled, thinking of the two lords and six lords of the Gu family in Pingzhou, they couldn't help feeling uneasy, why did Yue Duzhi never mention his relatives?But I don't want to... oh, it's really...

They hurriedly bowed and said: "Students wait to see the county magistrate..." Is this calling the master?What are you calling?

Gu Zhao stretched out his hand, and said with a very familiar hand: "Excuse me, please hurry up, you are my cousin's classmates, so you don't need to talk about those secular rules, let's talk about our own, so it will be more comfortable."

Yue Duzhi said their names again, and the family also announced their names, Gu Zhaodao admired them for a long time.

These few dared not dare, then Gu Zhao asked them to sit down, and they sat down in embarrassment, already regretting in their hearts that it was too much to do today, they were people of the same age, but they wanted to pay a full tribute, they were all young and energetic, They didn't think about it in their hearts, this person was born with a jade spoon in his mouth, but they didn't think that if they were not from a family, where did this Guozixue uniform come from?

Seeing the embarrassing situation, Yue Duzhi didn't speak, so he found a topic and said: "At the end of last year, the road was blocked by heavy snow, and my family didn't go back to Dehui this year. I spent the year in Shangjing."

Gu Zhao nodded: "Well, since my uncle is at home, I'll go see him someday and say hello...Then, how are the elders at home?"

Yue Duzhi nodded: "Well, it's alright, my cousin remembers that my grandmother sent people to send a lot of things to my cousin a few years ago, but...cousin? I don't know Long live my lord, why punish you? "

Hey, this Yue Duzhi probably has the same temperament as his father, Mr. Shui Jing, and he is upright.

Gu Zhao raised his eyebrows and said indifferently: "Oh, I was asked to go to Wukang to handle the case. I thought the road was far away, so I pretended to be sick, and then I didn't know which lunatic was okay, so I read a copy of it. It was shut down!"

"Cough cough..." Yue Duzhi couldn't laugh or cry, he could only cough twice and persuade Gu Zhao to come: "Cousin, the official obeys the rules, everyone knows what to do, there is no doubt about it... Since cousin Bin Chao is here, Naturally, you have to do things well.”

Gu Zhao waved his hand indifferently, and said with a smile, "It's nothing. The Holy Majesty will punish this one when he is free. It's just a matter of habit. If I go to Wukang, I'm afraid I'm still squatting there drinking the cool breeze." It’s about getting angry, that is, Zhuang Chengxiu’s iron and wooden stake likes to do this, but I don’t like to go.”

Yue Duzhi was helpless, and wanted to persuade him again, but he didn't want that Pang Er to trot in suddenly and shout loudly: "Oh, my lords, it's so lively, the street is raiding the house!"

These young people suddenly got excited, stood up and asked: "Which family is it?"

Gu Zhao said indifferently: "Nine households were confiscated today. Anjihou's mansion belongs to six clans of fathers and three clans of mothers. Tomorrow it will be Yan's family. His family relatives are all in their hometown. I am afraid that they will not be able to bring people here until next month. There are so many people. , see what those are doing?"

Gu Zhao didn't move, and it was inconvenient for these people to move, so they could only bear their temper and forcefully sit down, staring at Yue Duzhi together and winking.

Yue Duzhi had no choice but to squeeze some smiles and said: "I don't know my cousin, we are all studying law in my father's subject. A few days ago, my father mentioned it in class, and now I am sitting in the criminal law. However, there are loopholes in the above, if today Anji Hou's house was ransacked, and my cousin said that the matrilineal family was involved in the nine clans of his family, this matter is still controversial."

Curious, Gu Zhao asked, "Where is the controversy?"

Yue Duzhi showed seriousness, and said in a serious tone: "Married women should not be implicated in the same crime! Correcting her mother's three clans is not in line with the essence of the criminal law, so it should be changed!"
