Red House Spring Fiber

Gu Qian was taken aback. She had never seen Gu Mao so depressed and worried again, so there must be something serious.But in front of everyone, she couldn't ask a single word, and she had to restrain her impatience and come forward with a slight smile—first she made people and Gu Mao take off their clothes, and then explained a few trivial things today Once, it's like the old days.Gu Mao nodded slightly, her expression softened a bit, and she continued: "Today I have a very good sweet-scented osmanthus cake. I ordered someone to make it with sour plum soup. I ate a couple of mouthfuls, but it was cool and dense. You might as well use this first, for dinner. It's okay to be late."

"It's up to you." Gu Mao agreed.

Gu Qian asked people to serve pastries and sour soup. Seeing that Gu Mao had used most of it and put it down, Fang Ping dismissed the servant girl and said softly, "Brother looks gloomy today, what's the reason?"

Seeing her questioning, Gu Mao paused, looked at her intently for a while, and then said: "It can be seen that my city is shallow, and a little thing shows on the surface. Even you can see it clearly, but you can't do things." Saying, he Sighing lightly, his eyes became deeper and deeper, but he didn't go any further.

"It's because I'm in front of my relatives, so I can't help but let it go." Gu Qian felt that the matter was serious, and after waiting for a while, seeing that he was still silent, she slowly comforted: "Just like me, if I see others like my brother, I will definitely It's a diversion, so as not to get involved in disputes. Otherwise, I don't even want to wait for a while, I just hope that I can help, even if it's an ear."

"Concern leads to chaos, and it's inevitable for people." Gu Mao's eyes were filled with shallow water, like a pool of cold springs: "It's the same with what happened today." After finishing speaking, he lowered his head and ate all the sour plum soup, cups and cups As soon as it is released, the reasons for it will be explained clearly.

It turned out that since he joined the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he has handled all the criminal bills, and because he is a newcomer, although he is favored by the Holy Grace, his family has to be more thorough and appropriate, so he can't help but understand the old files.Those old and old cases in the procuratorate are very complicated, so naturally they put them aside, and only focus on those major cases or newly undecided cases for review.It's not that there is something wrong with the supervision, it's just that things like this in the yamen, including how to transcribe the documents, and what language to use for what situation, are all particular.If he doesn't know all these details well, he won't be able to say that he is outstanding in the future, even the word "competent" will be difficult.

After months of hard work, I have memorized 50 or [-] major cases in my family in the first [-] years, and gradually understand the various papers. Recently, I have taken the latest papers for a closer look.Without thinking about it, I saw a case file: it recorded a case of corruption and crime in Ping'an Prefecture.The country is big, and this kind of corruption is a common occurrence, so there is no need to pay attention to it. When others see it, they may just glance at it and let it go.Only Gu Mao saw it at a glance, and his heart moved: the person who committed the crime was the one who dealt with the Su family couple in the past!Looking further down, he saw that there were two more old things recorded in it, which seemed to be about the Shesu family, and another ancient collection, which was not what a young military officer like him should collect.

When Gu Qian heard this, her eyebrows frowned slightly, and she looked at Gu Mao's description carefully: "Since that's the case, my brother just handles it impartially, just with the Su family, and with Miss Miaoyu, so why worry so much?" I know that taking a petty official is now in the file of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, so it must not be a good result. After all, he has committed a crime, or made enemies with others, etc., just follow the trend and deal with it carefully.Furthermore, although Miaoyu and the Su family are pitiful, such things are not uncommon in the world, and they are not related to the Gu family, so Gu Mao has no reason to be so depressed.

After being silent for a long time, Gu Maofang sighed deeply, his eyes were deep: "Now that things have come to an end, there are some things that I need to clarify with you." After saying that, he stood up and wanted to go into the study.Seeing him being so solemn, Gu Qian paused in her heart, and knew that this matter might have something to do with the Gu family, so she hurriedly collected her expression and followed to the study.Along the way, the two brothers and sisters went one in front of the other, not making a sound, only the sound of wind, water, and birds chirping.One after another, the atmosphere became more gloomy.

When they got to the study room, the two sat down separately, and the maid next to him was about to pour tea, but Gu Mao chased him out with one sentence: "No need, you all go out, call Huo Da to guard."

A group of people waited, although they didn't know where to go, they responded hurriedly.Gu Qian watched from the side, not daring to make a sound, and only waited for Huo Dada to come and close the door, before she whispered, "Brother, what is it that you have to be so careful about?"

"Do you still remember the previous unjust case of our family?" Gu Mao sighed slightly and asked first.Gu Qian nodded: "Such an important matter, my brother said it in detail, so I will naturally remember it in my heart."

At that time, Gu's father managed the two military strategies of Ping'an Prefecture and Guang'an Prefecture, and in the future he would invade Beidi and defend outside the city.Although it is not allowed to kill the enemy, it is a great achievement to arrange the military supplies and other things in the rear properly.When he didn't want to go back to the imperial court to be promoted, he was reported by the general Fan Tong to be collaborating with the enemy, and the censors of the imperial court and others were reported. They all worked together for a while, and the letters and other things confiscated at home later turned the matter of collaborating with the enemy into an iron case!

At that time, the late emperor was in power, but he was too old and dizzy, so he didn't pay attention to the reason, and issued an imperial edict in a fit of anger, imprisoning all the members of Gu's family and relatives.That's all, because of his rage, he ordered several members of the Gu family to be beheaded without waiting for the autumn punishment.At that time, Gu's family members and family members were afraid to make a sound, and when they had to examine carefully later, Fang worked together and showed some contradictions, thus clearing up the grievances.

Gu Mao listened to her narration, it was not bad at all, and he was relieved, but also a little hurt: "I said this in the past, but I never expected the real opportunity to come so quickly. Now that there are Given the opportunity, seeing that we can find out the truth of this matter, I have no choice but to explain it to you—the injustice of our Gu family is far from being redressed!"

"What!" Gu Qian was startled when she heard the words, she leaned out and said, "How can my brother do scientific research?"

"Of course there is a reason for this." Gu Mao's expression was light, his eyes were heavy, and he explained the reason inside: "In the past, my father was beheaded immediately. Although it was found out later that something was wrong, there was no solid evidence, and it was not a case. The late emperor was furious that day, and he didn't investigate carefully, but later found out these grievances, he couldn't help feeling a little regretful. Besides, when my grandfather was an official in the past, he was also an emperor's teacher, and then he was a monarch and minister for decades. This is someone who was close to the late emperor. Thinking about the old relationship, I also felt that there were some things that were not found out in the sloppy actions before, and the late emperor pardoned them all. Therefore, I can conduct scientific research and revive the family business."

When Gu Qian heard this, she couldn't help but fell silent, and said in a low voice for a long time: "This kind of king, why not..." Before she finished speaking, Gu Mao stopped: "You have to be careful about such words! Come on, don't make a sound!" Two voices fell, forcefully forcing Gu Qian's words back to the tip of her tongue.However, his expression remained unchanged, and he said in a deep voice: "Although you are a woman, you still have to know the words "thunder, rain and dew" in the deep boudoir! Regarding the father's matter, it is a blessing for our family that the first emperor knew his mistakes and corrected them! As far as the other side is concerned, it cannot be mentioned again."

Gu Qian took it upon herself to realize her mistakes and correct them, and she could not mention another eight words, knowing that this was a taboo that could not be touched.She moved her lips, had no choice but to swallow the words, and replied: "Understood." Gu Mao saw that she looked a bit depressed, and knew that it was inevitable—couldn't he be resentful?However, if he wants to get revenge for his injustice, reestablish the family business, extend his children, etc., what if he doesn't have the power?

Thinking of this, Gu Mao felt more and more dull in his mouth, but he still told the root cause of the matter: "Now that I have got such an opportunity, I can't let it go. I have to find out from now on. However, the opportunity came so quickly , some calculations are caught in it. I am not afraid of anything now, and I am alone with you as a close relative. I am really worried, so I want you to go back to Jiangnan to hide for a while. After three or five months, the matter will be over, and our brother and sister will be reunited. Not too late."

"No!" Gu Qian's complexion changed, and she stood up abruptly: "If you don't go, I won't go either!" After finishing these two sentences, she gathered herself together, and before Gu Mao could persuade her, she said, "Since there were golden words earlier, For those who have been pardoned, it is always difficult for those people to slander something again. Besides, you are just investigating now, so what is there to calculate? You must take risks to be so worried. In this case, I You can't go even more. I'm here, you need to be steady. I'm in charge of the house, you don't have to worry about it, and I'm listening to things. One person counts the short and the other counts the long, it's better than you alone."

These words are clear, and Gu Mao is irrefutable, so he can only sigh: "Forget it. Since then, you have to be careful, especially here in my study, where someone needs to be guarded - in the father's study back then If you find those letters and keepsakes, there must be a house thief! Although our house can be regarded as having lost all servants, there are still ten or so old servants in our house. It may not be that the house thief is still there, but we must be careful."

Gu Qian's heart trembled, she nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will keep it in mind, and nothing will go wrong." Even so, the two brothers and sisters discussed everything in the family carefully, set the rules, and just now Loosen up.By this time, the room was already pitch black, so Gu Qian said, "It's too late, let's eat first."

When it was time to eat, the servant girl at the side replied that Miss Jialin had sent a letter.

"Miss Lin must be very happy. Fang Li replied to the letter immediately." Gu Qian's lips curled up, thinking about Qingwen's good things earlier, most of the gloom in her heart dissipated, she ordered to get the letter, and said with a smile.Gu Mao then asked the reason, and knowing this was the case, he also smiled and said: "This is your old friendship, it is always a good thing to be able to reconcile."

Gu Qian nodded in agreement, she tore open the letterhead for a while and took a closer look, there was a smile on her lips, but it gradually disappeared, and after a while, she frowned,
