The husband's son-in-law

Not to mention that the Juren who thought Gu Shoufu had no character was so frightened that he sat on the spot and couldn't get up for a long time. Some people in the inn laughed, some sympathized, and some Juren stepped forward to give him a hand. He said comfortingly: "Don't be afraid, let's not tell the truth, the old man didn't ask you your name and place of origin, how do you know who you are?"

"Furthermore, it shouldn't take revenge on you."

Unexpectedly, the consolation was not consoling, on the contrary, the man was frightened, thinking that he was staying in the store, and at that time Zhang Yang, shouting loudly, the waiter in the store knew his name and where he was from, maybe the guard of the old man had already found out , when the time comes to enter Beijing, the old man will file a complaint with Mr. Shoufu——

Don't dare to think deeply, don't dare to think deeply.

That night, this person developed a cold, started to have a fever, and vomited and vomited. The fellow who rented a car couldn't stand it, fearing that it would delay their time to go to Beijing, so he said: "Why don't you insist first and go to Beijing to hire a doctor?" Look, the doctor over there should be better."

This person was lying on the bed in pain and yelling, until one person said impatiently: "Aren't you very proud at the time, the old man didn't want to talk to you in the end, and now I'm scared to death, why don't you go?" , don't delay our group."

"If you are willing to guard him, I will set off for Beijing tomorrow."

"It's too late and there's no place to stay. Don't blame me for not reminding everyone."

Immediately, the others in the room stopped hesitating and said to go together.The guy on the bed saw everyone leaving him, and he was dizzy with anger, but let alone, after the carriages and horses with him left, this guy recovered from his illness without any medicine, stayed for a few days, and finally came back The car went to Beijing, but he didn't mention what happened at the inn or who he offended.

Li Da didn't remember anything when he got in the car, he just wanted to talk and talk, and let it go.

The carriage traveled for another seven or eight days and finally arrived at the gate of the capital.Afterwards, the road was unimpeded. Li Da sat in the car, opened the curtain to see the scenery outside, passed by a place, pointed and said: "This sign has changed. It used to be the old Wang's noodle shop, but now it has changed to sesame seed cakes."

"I got up early at that time. Brother Yan and I ate a bowl of hot noodles first, then went to Tianqiao Street to listen to storytelling, and came back with a piece of candy man. Fubao loved eating this most when he was a child. His father thought he ate too much. If you have a toothache, take care of it.”

"The car stopped, I'll go buy some candy first."

The guard said, "Grandpa, please show me the way, and I will carry it over."

"It's okay, go a little further outside, there is an alley and you will be on Second Street after you enter."

On Taiping Main Street, ordinary people can't afford to open a shop.Bought sugar figurines, this time Li Da bought a lot of tricks, and he was rare to see anything, "Fufu can't eat it anymore, let's give it to the boys and girls of the Yan family and the Zheng family."

He got on the bus again, this time it didn't stop, but Li Da looked at Taiping Main Street, getting closer and closer to the imperial city, and thought of the first time he sent Zhao'er as an errand. It was dark early in the morning, and there were no people on the road. The closer they got, the elders in official uniforms, and the words they avoided, they didn't understand, and they were too frightened to move forward, covered in cold sweat.

Unexpectedly, this time home is so close to the imperial city.

Dad is back.

Li Zhouzhou calculated that it shouldn't have been so early, because he had been on the road without much rest, and when he heard the report from a servant, he hurriedly got up to pick it up. When he reached the central plain in the front yard, he saw the servant walking down with a pickle jar in his arms. People walked to the stove house and knew that Dad had brought it back.

"father."

Li Dazheng told the kitchen to eat pancakes in the afternoon with pickled vegetables, and when he heard Zhou Zhou's voice, he was very happy, "I'm back, I'm back, the road is safe and nothing serious."

"Father." Li Zhouzhou called his father and said with a smile: "I still want to pick you up, but you have to stay in the village for a few days to say goodbye to the folks. It's faster than I counted. Is this a journey, or Leaving early?"

Li Da: "..." It's rare to gossip, "You don't even know, I'm alone in the yard, and your mother-in-law and second aunt bring women from the village to our yard all day long, sitting there for a while. Chatting lasts for hours, and sometimes when we quarrel, I have to judge."

His head is getting bigger with worry.

Li Zhouzhou suppressed his smile, and he said how come back earlier than he calculated.

"You come back to be quiet and quiet." Li Zhouzhou talked to his father, and walked to the backyard together, "Fu Bao went to Brother Liang's house. He recently met a younger brother. This younger brother is a bit shy. Li Zhaoxi loves to play with others."

Dabai is too upright, and Xiaohei is too young and skinny.Li Zhaoxi is okay to play with occasionally, but after a long time, he will go crazy. Brother Liang's child is quiet and shy, so Li Zhaoxi came up with a genius idea. He plays with everyone, just depends on his mood to choose who to play with today .

According to Xianggong, it was really like a flop, it all depends on who Li Zhaoxi wants to flop today.

As for the sons and daughters of the Zheng family, they also come to play, but they don't work hard.

Li Zhouzhou noticed that Li Zhaoxi loves to play with Yingniang. He doesn't like playing with Guang'er very much. When he asks, he just says, "Brother Guang'er has no idea of ​​his own. He just looks at Sister Yingniang when I ask and talk about it. Ask sister to help him answer, or say 'I have to ask my mother', 'I have to ask my nanny'."

"He has a soft temper. His father was not around when he was young and growing up, so please be more tolerant." Li Zhouzhou said.

Fu Bao nodded first, and then said: "If you can tolerate it, then you can tolerate it. If you disagree with me, or something that makes me unhappy, then I won't tolerate it."

Before Li Zhouzhou could speak, Gu Zhaoxian hummed, and when Li Zhaoxi went out, Gu Zhaoxi explained to Zhou Zhou: "To make friends is to be like-minded. If Li Zhaoxi always tolerates and accommodates Erlang because of sympathy, this is not a long-term solution. Li Zhaoxi himself is unhappy, suppressing the child's temper."

"...Yes, I am a poor child."

"Don't worry, Li Zhaoxi has a sense of proportion." Gu Zhao trusted Fu Bao very much.

Let's just say that today, Li Zhaoxi 'flipped' Liang Siyuan's signboard, and the two went to write big characters together. After finishing their homework, Li Zhaoxi would play the piano for Liang Siyuan, and Liang Siyuan could play the flute, saying that he wanted to rehearse a piece of music.

Li Da was surprised: "Didn't Brother Zhao'er Liang's wife go away for many years and marry another?"

"No, it's a little brother on the edge of the clan. No one wants to raise him and sent him to Senior Brother Liang. Senior Brother Liang gave him his household registration and became his child. He is now 11 years old."

"That's younger than our family's Fubao. Fufu loves to be an elder brother and an elder."

That's right, there are so many nephews and nieces in the Chen Mansion in Zhaozhou, Fufu already has experience as an 'elder'.

Li Zhouzhou went to the backyard with his father, "Dad, take a look at this yard, my husband and I thought, stay away from the lake, there is a garden next to it, you can take a walk after dinner..."

Li Tianran could live anywhere, so he agreed, and asked Fufu where he lived, and he was even happier when he heard that it was not far from their courtyard, and said, "It's smaller than the Zhaozhou mansion, but it's closer."

"Yes."

After that, it's about moving luggage and settling down, all of which are done by servants.Li Da took a bath, changed into new clothes, and ate a meal, and then he felt comfortable, and he was home.

In the evening, when Li Zhaoxi came back by car, he first went to his father's yard to report his safety. Hearing that his grandfather had returned, he immediately ran to his grandfather's yard. Li Zhouzhou followed behind him. Hehe, it's disgusting.

"Grandpa Fufu misses Grandpa so much~"

"Hey grandpa's baby Fufu, grandpa can miss Fufu too."

The family of four was finally reunited. Gu Zhao, who was off on business, arrived home and had a welcome banquet in his father's yard. On the table, there was a pancake and pickled vegetables, as well as shredded green onion and shredded pork tenderloin wrapped in sauce pancakes.

Shredded pork with Beijing sauce.

It was obvious that Li Da ordered pickles, but when he really started donating cakes, he especially liked shredded pork wrapped in shredded green onions, but it was Gu Zhao who ate two rolls of pickles.

"Father got tired of eating it in the village, but it's not bad for me now," Gu Zhao said.

"Everything is measured, if there is too much, it will not be enough." Li Da sighed, the meat rolls are still delicious.

Naturally speaking of Enke this time, the situation of the children in the village.

"Yuan Yuan was admitted as a scholar, but his wife and younger brother Mu Erlang didn't pass the exam, so he stayed in the village and continued to study. Yuan Yuan discussed with his family and went to the prefecture to study in an official school, so that he could talk to Mu Erlang when the time came. The courtyard was lent to Mu Erlang."

"It's good to communicate with each other," Gu Zhao said.Hearing that Gu Chen passed the Tongsheng exam, his father gave him a red envelope, so he smiled and said, "Thank you for taking care of me." Tongsheng was only just at the threshold of entry, so he wrote a letter and sent it back to the village, telling the two children to be separated from each other. Take it lightly.

His stepmother's disposition is really that the family just saw a happy event and wanted to show it off, and she couldn't stand it. Fortunately, on the road of studying for the imperial examination, the two children couldn't get carried away with complacency and couldn't sit still.

It belongs to the second uncle's family. Gu Zhao heard Zhou Zhou talk about the village affairs, and said at this time: "Although Guangzong has not studied much, he has a good foundation of reasoning. Second uncle and aunt can also listen to Guangzong's words, so it won't be too much. Indulge the two children."

This is true.Li Da nodded.

"Besides, there is still Yuanyuan hanging in front." Li Zhouzhou added that the second aunt must have tightened up the two children's studies after being happy for a while, and did not dare to be too light-hearted.

Yuan Yuan was selected as a scholar, which belonged to the Wang family.

Li Zhaoxi was still on the table, and everyone chatted about some lively things in the village. After dinner, Li Zhaoxi got a box of sugar figurines bought by his grandfather. Li Da winked at the side and said, "Don't dare to eat all of Fubao, otherwise it will be bad." Ya, you share the food, take it to share with the younger brothers tomorrow, and the sister of the Zheng family, that little girl was very obedient and lovable when she was young."

"Okay." Li Zhaoxi hugged the candy box and cooperated with grandpa, "Don't worry, grandpa, I'll eat slowly."

It's not too much for him to eat two slowly, right?

Li Zhaoxi has grown up!It is no longer two or three years old when I was a child!

Gu Zhao sees everything in his eyes and doesn't want to expose it. The children and their father are happy, and it's not every day that they eat two or three sweet treats.

It was getting late, and Li Zhaoxi had another conversation with his grandfather, and then went back to his courtyard with the sugar box in his arms.

As soon as Li Zhaoxi left, Gu Zhao and Zhou Zhou sat for a meeting and talked about some things in Beijing, like Zheng Hui taking a concubine, Yingniang had a concubine younger brother, Li Da frowned when he heard that, "This, little That kid Zheng didn't look like this to me before."

"As time goes by, people's hearts change." Gu Zhao sighed, but he still had hope for Zheng Hui in his heart.

He also told the news of the death of Grandma Yan's second brother.

"At that time, the war was fierce, and the second brother's family didn't report the funeral to us."

Li Da said: "Then we are back, we have to make up for the rules, and take some funeral gifts to visit."

"Okay." Li Zhouzhou nodded.

The Li family was reunited, and Meng Jianyun's guards got up and returned. This was not going to Zhaozhou, but to the front line. However, Gu Zhaoli Zhou Zhou and even Fu Bao wrote letters to send them back.

"I have to write to my nephew to ask him if he wants me as an uncle." Fu Bao thought about it carefully when he picked up the pen, and said to himself: "Uncle misses Yuan Bao very much, and Yuan Bao doesn't know Have you gained weight, have you lost your teeth?"

It's really like a little adult.

It's getting colder in Beijing in autumn, and a major event has happened - the Holy Majesty has decided to conscript the emperor himself. During his absence, all government affairs in Beijing will be handed over to the Chief Assistant for full management and responsibility.

When the civil servants of the Manchu Dynasty heard it suddenly, they immediately disagreed, and two of them stood up and strongly opposed it, so they nearly bumped their heads against the pillars in the main hall of the Taiji Hall.

The military officer may not have reacted or may not care, after all, the system is different.

The one who bumped into the pillar was naturally stopped. Before Gu Zhao said anything, Li Wubing said lightly: "It's a pity that you two young men are used to bump into the pillar. Go back and pack your luggage and go to the conquest with me."

ha?

"Whoever wants to go, hit it, I will watch." Li Wubing stood up, looking down at the officials below.

Gu Zhao was in the front row, seeing the sneer and sarcasm in His Majesty's eyes, and there was a hint of joy in his success.

... I don't know who I learned this trick from.

Let civil servants, or officials, go to the border to fight, obediently, it doesn't mean scaring, it seems to be going to the front line-no one dares.

Later, after retiring from the imperial court, Li Wubing and Rong Ye actually talked a lot earlier, waiting to be praised, and when they saw Gu Ziqing coming in, they waved their hands and avoided the ceremony, saying: "Today's trick, I still learned from Gu Shoufu Yes, it really is a good move.”

Gu Zhao: "???"

"Your Majesty, I have never said this trick." When the word got out, he Gu Zhao must not be hated by the civil servants, don't set him up, he really never said it!

Li Wubing said: "It's just listening to my brother and using it properly. Didn't an old man play you back then, and you directly transferred people to you, the same reason."

"..." Gu Zhao shut himself up.

When the buffer came, Gu Zhao said: "Master Jiang and Lord Sun are both old and civil servants. They have never used martial arts, so they probably won't go to fight with the saint."

There are policies and there are countermeasures. If the two old men happen to have a "cold" or a "broken leg", can they really take Li Wubing with them?This is to be scolded——

"Take it with you, as long as you have breath, take it with you."

"Didn't you say that the emperor kept his promises?"

Gu Zhao said: "The sage acts like this, I'm afraid he will be criticized by the historian."

"I know what you mean, but I have been scolded less often. If I sit in this position, those old men will look down on me, so I can do whatever I want." Li Wubing said more and more hostility, and then After a bit of pressure, I changed the subject, "Didn't you add Enke, just wait until next year to choose a batch of obedient ones."

Gu Zhao thought about it for a while and still didn't say anything, the Holy Will has been decided, he believes in the Holy Majesty.

Gu Zhao knew about Li Wubing's personal conquest. After all, he wanted to "hold the power" and "the second co-government king and traitor". When he first heard it, he was really caught off guard and panicked - panic only flashed for a second passed, and then caught.

"I knew you made it." Li Wubing felt happy.He felt that Gu Zhao was a civil servant but not the kind of civil servant he hated. Looking at the embroidered pillow, he didn't smear ink, he didn't look forward and backward, hesitant, and he was more and more appetizing to him. He was indeed his favorite friend.

Rong Ye thought in his heart, Mr. Gu's courage and determination are incomparable.

After this small court meeting, the monarchs and ministers were scolded together, saying that Li Wudao means that the blood is impure and ruins my Dali foundation.

If you scold, just scold.

It's not obedient to come to him.Gu Shoufu thought while approving the memorial.

Under this decree, the stove in Gu Shoufu's house was burning more and more.In the past, the nobles in Beijing still insisted on their identities, and they were not willing to compromise. Most of the postings to the Li Mansion were women of the third rank and below.

For example, the royal family and the century-old family are all waiting and watching.

Now the post has been handed over, including the Lin family and the princess mansion.

In fact, during this period of time, Li Zhouzhou received a lot of posts. When Gu Zhao came back from work, the husband and wife would read the posts together after dinner. That is: "Look at you, you can push it if you don't want to go."

Li Zhouzhou laughed, "Aren't you afraid of offending people if you push them all?"

"Don't be afraid, your husband and I are here to curry favor with anyone now. If something happens to me someday, these people will not protect me, so just go with your will. If you are bored, go and play. Which one is not happy? I won’t go.”

Gu Zhao looked sober, if he really fell, there would be only one, and the Holy One would not like him to do it.At that time, it would be impossible for these officials to speak for him, because they made friends with each other.The second is that, in that situation, the more officials intercede for him, the faster he will die.

So live chic and comfortable.

After this day's duty, it's another activity to talk about posts after dinner.

"Prince Shun's mansion delivered a post, and Princess Changtai's mansion..."

Li Zhouzhou saw that the two houses were related to the royal family, so he thought about it and couldn't make up his mind, but Gu Zhao looked at the post, and he looked similar to other people, and said, "Don't look at their royal relatives, it's the same as in the past, which one do you want to go to?" Where to go, these royal families don't matter much in the heart of the Holy One."

In fact, Gu Zhao didn't tell the whole story, if these people had bullied Li Wubing in the harem before, now Li Wubing didn't kill his brother, it was because of Rong Ye.

Li Zhouzhou heard about it and thought for a while, and said: "Then I will reject them all. We don't know each other at Prince Shun's Mansion, and there is nothing to talk about after passing by, but Princess Changtai's Mansion mentioned our family's rescue of Kang'an back then. , and said that it has been a long time since I saw Xiang Fubao."

"Oh." Gu Zhao laughed first when he heard this, and launched his father's attack: "The one who doesn't like to talk? He doesn't like to talk anymore. Who knows whether it is the child who wants Fubao or his parents who want me. Besides, our family Does Bao use him to worry about him?"

"The bastard didn't have any good intentions."

Li Zhouzhou: "...how young you were at that time, you must have forgotten it, it's just superficial, you're still angry."

"Anyway, we, Li Zhaoxi, are young, we're just a kid in junior high school, no matter what, we have to graduate from college, and work for a few years before we can find a partner..." Master Gu rambled on.

Li Zhouzhou was used to his husband saying words he didn't understand, but he understood the meaning, and wanted Fubao to talk about the marriage later.When it came to the matter of marriage, he said: "My sister-in-law came to talk to me before, so it's time to show Yingniang her husband's house."

"She didn't have much circle in the past, but now it's too late to meet her, her eyes are dark, I thought it's better to hold a banquet at our house, I will be the host, and invite some suitable people who my sister-in-law looks at..."

Gu Zhao actually didn’t want to interfere in the affairs of Zheng’s family, but the children were really innocent, especially the eldest, Yingniang. When the three families were all small officials, he also hugged and coaxed the child. The little girl turned eighteen after the New Year , She is a big girl in the capital.

It doesn't matter in Zhaozhou.

"Then let's have a party, but you ask the sister-in-law what she means. I haven't seen you for many years. It's about the child's marriage. Let her not be too tactful. Be straightforward and analyze it carefully." Gu Zhao said.

The sister-in-law's temper was even more 'roundabout' for the meal last time.
