Chapter 872: The estrangement remains
Gu Zizhong wiped his tears and finally showed a happy smile.
The brother and sister seem to have returned to square one.
Gu Shizi looked at his sister's appearance, and finally smiled.
Gu Zizhong invited her brother to sit in the house, and asked Feng Ming to take out all the pastries she had just brought over for her brother to taste.
Gu Shizi took a bite, and the smile on his face changed slightly.
This scene is like a heart-to-heart feeling between the two of them.
What do you say?
Gu Shizi still remembers that more than ten years ago, his sister ran from the backyard to his room in the rain just to bring him a piece of pastry.
The love between brother and sister is deep, after all, it is something that cannot be shaken by other things.
Gu Zizhong also misses his mother's family very much.
It's a short distance, but it makes her feel so far away.
She had always wanted to go back to her parents' house to have a look, but the estrangement between the Zhu family and the Gu family in Jinling suddenly made them strangers.
Gu Zizhong really felt uncomfortable these days.
Isn't it all caused by my brother?
As soon as Gu Zizhong thought of this, he thought about going to be coquettish with his brother.
If it weren't for my brother's cabinet bachelor, what would have happened later.
She stared at her brother, wanting to ask him about his sins.
Gu Shizi also understood in his heart, he put down the pastry in his hand and looked at Gu Zizhong.
Gu Zizhong immediately shifted his gaze away.
Gu Shizi felt very guilty in his heart: "Zizhong, brother and you can talk directly." At that time, in the cabinet, almost everyone agreed to give our Gu family 20,000 taels of silver. If I don't take it, I've offended the wrath of the people. ”
Twenty thousand taels?
Where did you get so much silver?
Gu Zizhong's gaze at his brother suddenly turned into an angry gaze.
Gu Shizi knew that Zizhong would be angry because of this, but when this came to his mouth, he couldn't do it if he didn't say it.
Now that the words had come out, he said bluntly: "The Japanese have come several times, and some places along the coast have been looted again. Jinling is short of troops, and we have also suffered. ”
Gu Zizhong said solemnly: "But after all, we are still far from the sea, and the Japanese have not called." It was only the people who suffered, and it was only the people who suffered, and it was a matter of course for the Ming army in Jinling to send troops to fight against the Japanese invaders. ”
Gu Shizi spread out his hands and sighed helplessly: "That's what I meant." But since the emperor wants to reward the Gu family, can't you just add a name? Your brother and I are also in it, and I can't help myself. ”
Gu Zizhong stared at her brother with tears in her eyes, although she had forgiven her brother, she was still very disgusted by her brother's appearance.
Gu Shizi then complained: "Let me tell you, later I received the money, and I had no right to speak." Everyone in the cabinet unanimously agreed that the Jinling Zhu family was too arrogant and needed to be sharpened. That's why we're isolating you collectively. ”
No wonder!
As soon as Gu Zizhong heard this, he sat up from his chair and straightened up.
She got up angrily, took two steps in front of her brother, pointed to her brother's nose and said, "At that time, in Jinling City, it was me Gu Zizhong who was in charge of the heavens and the earth. I'm your sister, do you know how difficult it is for me to manage the entire Jinling City as a woman? When I needed the help of my mother's family, my mother's family suddenly alienated me. I was stunned, I thought I had done something wrong......"
Gu Shizi was accused by his sister and couldn't raise his head, so he could only listen quietly.
Gu Zi was extremely sad, she was already angry about this matter, but her brother's words suddenly aroused her emotions again.
She wanted to question again.
Gu Shizi took the lead and asked, "That's not right, a group of big men of the Zhu family in Jinling, why do they let you take care of it?"
This sudden question made Gu Zizhong a little unresponsive.
Although Gu Shizi felt guilty in his heart, it was only guilt for Gu Zizhong after all.
Gu Shizi has a clear conscience about the Zhu family in Jinling.
How many things in the Zhu family in Jinling were solved with the help of the Gu family?
The Gu family has never owed the Zhu family.
Gu Shizi's eyes widened suddenly, and he also stood up, holding his sister's shoulders with both hands, and carefully examining his sister's whole body.
Gu Zizhong is fine.
Gu Shizi still asked, "Zizhong, are you okay, did the Zhu family treat you badly?"
What is this called!
Gu Zizhong said angrily: "Brother, I'm doing well in the Zhu family. ”
Gu Shizi didn't believe this: "Pull it down." Let me tell you, this time I suddenly alienated the Jinling Zhu family, and I did agree. But I didn't expect that you were in charge of the affairs of the Zhu family. ”
After a thousand calculations, the result was calculated on my sister.
Gu Shizi regretted it: "I thought it was still the housework managed by the Zhu family and their own people." I alienated the Zhu family just to teach the Zhu family a lesson. ”
Gu Zizhong waved his hand at his brother and shook his head, asking him to be quiet.
As soon as Gu Shizi's emotions arrived, he couldn't control his voice.
To be honest, he just wanted to teach Zhu Changxi a lesson.
Zhu Changxi, a kid, has no one in his eyes, and he always thinks that he is the most powerful in the world, and he has been fighting in the east and west, even ignoring his family.
Gu Shizi sighed: "Why don't the two men of their Zhu family take care of anything, but let you let a woman like you take care of the housework?"
Gu Zizhong was reasonable: "I take care of family affairs, that means I have the ability." ”
Gu Shizi was really anxious: "Sister, you are a woman." You gave birth to two sons to Zhu Changxi. It's time for you to rest! Your task now is to take care of yourself at home. Let their own family take care of their own family's affairs!"
Gu Zizhong burst into tears: "Brother, I am now a member of the Zhu family." ”
Gu Shizi nodded helplessly, and after nodding again and again, he sighed and smiled: "Wow, wow, wow, you have married into the Zhu family, and your heart is now from the Zhu family." You have nothing to do with our Gu family anymore, do you? Is he Zhu Changxi good to you? He knows how to fight and kill all day long, he has made great achievements, has he cared about other people's feelings?"
Gu Zizhong was stunned.
Gu Shizi continued: "The war on the frontier will not stop together, and in the end it is the people who suffer." ”
Gu Zizhong was dumbfounded by his brother.
Gu Shizi sighed: "I shouldn't have handed over my sister-in-law to him Zhu Changxi in the first place. Is Zhu Changxi good to you? You are still looking at the Zhu family and questioning me?"
Brother, what's wrong?
Gu Zizhong's words were also much lighter: "Brother, don't be like this." ”
Gu Shizi pushed his sister's hand away: "Zizhong, I just see that Zhu Changxi is not satisfied." If you insist on helping Zhu Changxi, then I will make it difficult for you at that time, don't blame me. ”
As soon as the words fell, Gu Shizi turned around and left angrily.
Only one Gu Zizhong was left who was still in a daze.
Isn't she going to ask her brother for her sin?
How did it turn the other way around?
Gu Zizhong's eyes were wet with tears.
