The emperor is always bullied and crying [wearing books]

It was the first time for Gu Xuan to walk alone on this space-time street.

The streets are paved with bluestone slabs, and there are many shops on both sides, and occasionally there are unobstructed alleys on the left and right of a section of the street, where there are various stalls selling a wide range of things.

Gu Xuan carried some broken silver and some copper coins on his body, touched his stomach, thinking about the dinner for the servants of Ding Beibo's mansion, immediately planned to eat dinner outside, and then go back to Ding Beibo's mansion.

It feels good to have money on your body, at least you don't have to be shy about what you want to buy.

He walked into the street stall alley and stood in front of a stall selling sauced pork rice.

"What do you want to eat, little boy? The old man has stewed pig ears, pork belly, pork skin, beef, chicken, duck. There are also stewed sweet potato chips, soybeans, dried tofu... Rice includes pumpkin rice, red dates and peanut rice, brown rice White rice." The old man greeted Gu Xuan enthusiastically, his rough face was full of smiles and wrinkled at the same time.

Looking at Gu Xuan wearing a long gown, his eyes are full of respect.

Gu Xuan smiled and said, "I want some stewed pig ears and beef, and rice with red dates and peanuts." After ordering, the stall owner invited him to sit down.

As soon as Gu Xuan sat down, a grandmother who was about the same age as the old man came, with a headscarf on her gray hair, and a basket in her hand.

He came over and said to the old man, "Master, I brought you dinner."

The old man replied: "No hurry, no hurry, I'll make a meal for this young man before eating."

Grandma has long been used to it, she smiled respectfully at Gu Xuan, and then took out the food from the basket.A plate of boiled sunflower, a plate of fried tofu, and a bowl of brown rice with beans and pumpkin.

Gu Xuan looked at it and remained silent.I make a living selling braised pork, but I can't eat meat myself.

A small table and a few old stools are the whole of this stall.

This is also the source of income that the old man's family relies on for a living.

But the sympathy in Gu Xuan's heart didn't last long, because now he went back to Ding Beibo Mansion for dinner, and the food was worse than the old man's, so sympathy for others is worse than sympathy for himself.If you are rich, you will benefit the world, and if you are poor, you will be good for yourself.

A plate of braised pig's ears;

A plate of stewed beef;

A bowl of red dates and peanut rice;

A bowl of egg tofu soup;

a pair of chopsticks;

The bowl is a rough yellow unglazed earthenware bowl, and the chopsticks are bamboo chopsticks that the farmer cuts himself.

Gu Xuan picked up his chopsticks and started to eat, the taste was very good.

-

As the sky was getting late, the lights in Dingbeibo's mansion began to be lit, and the red light of a long string of lanterns in the corridor lit up little by little, gradually sticking into a scarlet.

In the courtyard of Ding Beibo's wife Zhao Wenjia, Ding Beibo's eldest son Gu Xu and sixth son Gu Yang are talking to Zhao Wenjia eagerly.

"Mother, in a few days our house will hold a spring outing. Shouldn't it be time for elder brother to visit his sister-in-law?" Gu Yang winked at Gu Xu while talking, full of embarrassment.

Gu Xu scolded Gu Yang: "What nonsense are you talking about?" After saying this, his neck turned red to his cheeks, almost smoking.

Gu Yang retorted: "It was originally, and I'm not wrong. Brother, you have seen him now, and you will be named on the gold list at the time of Qiu Wei, and then you can marry your sister-in-law to enter the door. This is called Double Happiness! Mother, you said that the child said right?"

Gu Xu was too embarrassed to speak.

Zhao Wenjia couldn't stop laughing, and said to Gu Yang with great joy: "You, don't make fun of your brother, your brother has always been thin-skinned, no worse than you."

Gu Yang leaned close to Zhao Wenjia's arm, and said coquettishly, "Mother, I don't have thick skin anymore, why don't you pinch my son's face?"

Zhao Wenjia lovingly patted Gu Yang's head, then looked at Gu Xu, and said, "Xu'er, although your brother is wrong to tease you, but what he said makes sense. Does Xu'er have someone he likes?"

Gu Xu's cheeks were flushed, and he stood up immediately, bowed his hands and bowed to Zhao Wenjia, and then said generously despite being shy, "The son depends entirely on the mother."

After finishing speaking, he said: "Son still has homework to study, come back tomorrow to say hello to mother, and my son will leave."

Here Gu Xu went, Zhao Wenjia and Gu Yang looked at each other, and suddenly burst out laughing, Zhao Wenjia touched Gu Xu's forehead with his finger, and said: "You, Xiao Zuo, your brother is so teased that you dare not come here." Here it is."

Gu Xu smiled and said: "Where is there, how can there be? It is clearly that the elder brother is upset. Mom, this spring outing must be held in a big way, and all the famous people in the whole capital are invited. When the time comes, the mother will take the place of the eldest brother. Take a good look at her, and I must find a gentle, virtuous and beautiful sister-in-law for my baby who loves me."

Zhao Wenjia was even happier.

Gu Yang stayed with Zhao Wenjia for a while, stood up and saluted Zhao Wenjia: "Mother, it's getting late, my son will not disturb mother's rest, and come back tomorrow to say hello to mother." After finishing speaking, his face was bright, and he acted like a baby to Zhao Wenjia: "My child wants to eat tomorrow. Emerald glass and jasper soup."

Zhao Wenjia was so happy being coaxed, there was really nothing he could do about his youngest son.Here is the youngest son, after Gu Yang left, Zhao Wenjia looked at Mrs. Zhao, the love on his face had almost disappeared, and he even frowned, and asked Mrs. Zhao: "Is Gu Xuan back yet?"

Mrs. Zhao said respectfully: "If you go back to Madam, the slave has already told you to go down. As soon as Gu Xuan comes back, the concierge will lead him to see Madam."

Zhao Wenjia picked up the already cold tea, which was a bit astringent in the mouth. She took a sip before putting it aside, and said sullenly, "Gu Xuan is really capable, and he has been promoted from a slave to a petty official in just a short time. , is so valued by the master, will I get it in the future? I don't believe that there is really a person who repays hatred with virtue in this world. I have dealt with him before, how do I know that he will not hold a grudge? The more he is valued by the master, the more chance he will give to my son. Stumbler. How many of the evils born in the uncle's mansion are good? All of them are jealous of my son's family business!"

"Hmph, with me here, don't even think about it!"

Early this morning, Mrs. Zhao reported to Zhao Wenjia that Gu Xuan was promoted by her uncle to be a swordsman and was taken to the Ministry of Industry to be on duty. Zhao Wenjia's expression changed at that time.

An unlucky bastard, who should have been rolling in the mud all his life, trampled on by anyone and cast aside by anyone, is now promoted by the uncle to be a swordsman.

Such a fast promotion shows that Gu Xuan is really capable.

Once such a person gains power, the consequences will be disastrous.Even if he is unable to take revenge to Dingbeibo's mansion, the hostesses can always do it.

Zhao Wenjia didn't want to be bullied.

She wants to suppress Gu Xuan.

-

Gu Xuan was [-]% full, paid the bill, and strolled back to Dingbeibo Mansion.He walked through the corner door, and as soon as he stepped up the steps, a young boy who guarded the door rushed forward and said to Gu Xuan: "Oh, you are back. Madam has something to ask you. I want you to visit Madam when you come back. Madam The female envoys in the yard have come to ask a few times."

When Gu Xuan heard this, there was no change on his face, and he was very calm.

It's just that my heart is half cold.

His knee isn't healed yet.

What does Mrs. Ding Beibo Zhao Wenjia want to do?

It's so hard to see yourself getting better.

The guard at the door urged him urgently, so Gu Xuan stretched out his hand and said, "Madam summoned you? Please lead the way."

The doorman immediately strode forward, and he was relieved to see that Gu Xuan had followed him.

Gu Xuan was led to Zhao Wenjia's courtyard, and a female envoy took the boy's place to lead him to the front courtyard.

The last time Gu Xuan came to Zhao Wenjia's yard was in the backyard. At that time, he didn't dare to look too much at the critical moment. Now after a quick glance, he saw the scene of the yard——

The natural interest of the rockery and stone spring;

The layout of pavilions, terraces and pavilions is ingenious;

The flowers and trees are lush and lush;

Introduced into the living room, you can see the aloes from the auspicious animal stove, the blue clouds and blue sky gauze floating, the woven flower carpet is lifelike, and the furnishings in the house are all luxurious.

Before Gu Xuan stood still, he took a few glances from the corner of his eye, and then Zhao Wenjia came out from the room, followed by Mrs. Zhao.Gu Xuan knelt down and kowtowed: "Young lady, please greet Madam, and Madam is blessed."

Zhao Wenjia sat down, and the servant girl served the tea soup. She drank the tea soup in a leisurely manner, turning a blind eye to Gu Xuan who was kneeling on the ground.

Gu Xuan knelt motionless.

In this magnificent living room, there is not a sound of panting, not a sound of coughing up phlegm, the silence makes one's heart tremble.

Gu Xuan didn't know what Zhao Wenjia was going to find trouble with him and how to deal with him.

All he can do now is to carry it through and survive!

Finally, with a soft "Dang", the teacup landed on the saucer.

Zhao Wenjia raised his eyes, looked at Gu Xuan who was on the ground, and said, "I called you here today for no other reason. I heard that you have been promoted from a slave to a knife and pen official, and you are on duty in the government office of the Ministry of Industry with the master? "

Gu Xuan raised his body from the ground, and looked at Zhao Wenjia respectfully, "Returning to Madam, the young one was favored by the master, and got a rankless post in the Ministry of Industry. The grace of rewarding food and life will be a servant of the uncle's mansion for life."

Zhao Wenjia's face was dull and expressionless.It's just that there was a slight movement at the end of his eyebrows, and he regretted that he didn't kill Gu Xuan when he killed Wang Ping.

It's too late to know how good Gu Xuan's mouth is at accepting people's words. The master promoted him so quickly, obviously because of Gu Xuan's words.

"You have to be valued by the master. It is a good thing to be promoted to the knife and pen official. In the future, you must do things well and share your worries with all your heart."

Gu Xuan immediately leaned down and kowtowed: "Madam, don't worry, the master and madam are so compassionate and sympathetic to the little ones, the little ones can't repay the master and madam even if they work for cattle and horses. Do your best? Never disappoint your lord and lady."

Zhao Wenjia said: "You are a loyal person. It is a good thing to understand that it is a good thing to repay kindness at such a young age. The master keeps you by his side, and being with such a noble person as the master can somewhat dispel your bad luck. It is also your blessing."

Gu Xuan lowered his head and responded, "Ma'am is right."

Zhao Wenjia's eyes fell on Gu Xuan who was kneeling on the ground, and her dark eyes became more and more profound under the reflection of the candlelight. She then changed the subject and said, "Although it is your blessing to be able to follow the master, but for the master But it's not a good thing."

"You have to know how unlucky your fate is. You killed your mother and siblings when you were born. It's dark and evil. Your fate is really sinful. I'm afraid you will bring bad luck to the master. However, the master values ​​you in the end, so this is the only way to think about it."

Gu Xuanxin said: What should come will eventually come, and you can't hide from it.

Immediately, he kowtowed again, with a steady voice and a calm expression, as if he was really a loyal servant who would die for Uncle Dingbei without blinking an eye.
