Turning around, Gu Wang Ye got into the carriage.

Gu Zizhong stared at his father's distant carriage behind his father, and there was always a sense of desolation in his heart.

But suddenly, Feng Ming came from behind her and said, "County Lord, something is wrong inside." ”

Gu Zi wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and immediately turned his head to enter the house.

She suddenly caught a glimpse of Lord Lin staring at her in the corner.

She and Lord Lin happened to have a star-to-eye.

Presumably, this Lord Lin also has mixed feelings in his heart, right?

Now it is him whose life hangs by a thread, not the Gu family.

Gu Zizhong gave Master Lin a smug smile.

She is also angry, if it weren't for this Lord Lin, her father would not have gone to the capital again.

She didn't have a good face, turned her head, and went back to the house.

followed Feng Ming to the study, but this was his brother's study.

Very good room, originally all the classical books were neatly arranged, I don't know what's going on, the bookshelves are slanted, and a few books have fallen to the ground.

And on the other hand, my brother is bragging to each other with Sun Yuanwai!

Gu Zizhong was angry when he saw this situation, stared at his brother, picked up all the books on the ground, and complained, "Brother, you are too indecent. If you drink, you drink, what kind of drunkenness. ”

Gu Shizi still knew that he had stopped what he was saying, looked back at his sister, and then waved his hand, looking very indifferent: "What do you know? ”

Blow you, people are in the yamen, what kind of door is with you.

Gu Zizhong ignored him.

If it weren't for Li Nanyu's absence, my brother might have been scolded by Li Nanyu!

It's really not okay to have no woman in the family.

When did my brother become only ruined?

Gu Zizhong was angry, but it was not easy to show it on his face.

After all, Sun Yuanwai still praised Gu Zizhong from time to time.

After listening to the good and obedient words given by others, it is not good to say that other people's are not.

Nobody does that.

So Gu Zizhong had no choice but to put his face away, put the study away, and prepared to turn around and leave.

was stopped by his brother.

"Zizhong, is there still the daughter of the family?" Gu Shizi asked softly, with a bit of sincerity in his tone.

Gu Zizhong shook his head: "The countryside just sent someone to send a few catties of rice wine, home-brewed." Do you like to drink or not? ”

Gu Shizi said: "Well, that's it, the home-brewed ones are natural and pure." ”

Gu Zizhong's words of shirk, can't my brother hear it?

And let her go get the wine, no one called her, right?

She ignored him and left.

Gu Shizi was stunned for a moment and slapped the table: "It's all used to by my father." ”

Sun Yuanwai persuaded: "Don't be angry. The county lord is naturally pampered, otherwise how can he show his identity? The county lord should be held like this. ”

Gu Shizi shook his head, and then ate the dishes on the table.

As soon as Gu Zizhong went out, she was very bored, but she wanted to vent her anger on Feng Ming, who was following her: "I asked you to clean up the table, why did you let them go to the study to drink?"

Feng Ming said aggrievedly: "I didn't do it at all, it was the prince and Sun Yuanwai, and they brought all the wine and food." ”

Gu Zizhong was not angry, and said to himself: "These two people drank a drink and went to the study." ”

Although she was angry, but more importantly, she didn't understand why her brother suddenly had such a thing.

Although my brother followed the people in the palace and was contaminated with some alcohol, it was not so serious.

When he arrived at the stone table in the courtyard, Gu Zizhong sat down and asked, "Where is my mother?"

Feng Ming said: "Madame went to the countryside, to appease the people, to send them some money, I heard that this autumn harvest, the rice harvest is not very good." The people themselves did not have enough food to eat, let alone pay taxes to the imperial court. ”

"Oh. Gu Zi regained his composure.

Feng Ming continued: "Second, Mrs. said that she was going to the countryside to visit some old friends. ”

In this way, let my mother go out to play for a few days, worship the Buddha, collect incense, and meet up with former relatives and friends.

The Gu family's connections can't be ossified, and the Gu family can't plug their own doorway.

She said, "What about Sister Li? I haven't seen her either." ”

Feng Ming said: "Miss Li has been learning arithmetic at home, and she has learned very well with the servants at home, and she has gone out to buy vegetables and rice noodles in the past two days. Recently, prices in Jinling City have risen sharply, and ordinary vegetables that could be bought with a few bunches of copper coins have now increased several times. ”

"Oh. Gu Zizhong settled down again.

Since the capital raised military salaries, the silver in various places is not enough. In addition, this year's harvest is not good, and there are not enough people. So there is less money, and the price of vegetables is also rising.

It's not going to be a good day.

Feng Ming said again: "I heard that in the past few days, tens of thousands of strong men in the area of Zhejiang and Taiwan have been arrested. They went to the ground at home, but they were suddenly arrested. ”

Gu Zizhong sighed and said, "Don't talk about that over there, there are a lot fewer people on our side." ”

Sigh to sigh, but life has to be maintained.

All the people of the family went out to do their jobs.

It's not good for Gu Zizhong to sit here alone.

She had to do something, too.

My brother is now chatting with that grandson.

Gu Zizhong has to go back, what if his brother needs something?

What's more, her father also reminded her that she had to be by her brother's side, and once her brother's kindness was taken advantage of, she had to stop it in time.

She instructed: "You take care of the trivial matters at home, and when Sister Li comes back, you can take her to the account room to settle the accounts." ”

Feng Ming took his order.

Gu Zizhong pondered: "I still have to go back and have a look." ”

She returned to the door of her brother's study alone, and there was no movement inside.

What's going on?

Are they all drunk?

Gu Zizhong just poked his head inside, but was looked at by Sun Yuanwai.

Sun Yuanwai waved at her: "County Lord, come, the lower officials are polite." ”

When she saw it, her brother was not there, and she didn't know where he had gone.

Gu Zi re-entered the room and sat down beside Sun Yuanwai.

She didn't speak.

Sun Yuanwai took out a few silver tickets from his arms and handed them to her: "It's a small meaning, it's not a tribute." ”

What is this for?

Before Gu Zizhong could ask, Sun Yuanwai said: "County Lord, the lower officials know that the money has been tight recently, and holding the silver ticket is equivalent to holding a blank paper." But a silver ticket is a silver ticket after all, it is not a blank slate. Do you say it's ......?"

It's really verbose.

Gu Zizhong was a little impatient: "What are you doing, my lord, just say something directly." ”

Sun Yuanwai smiled and said: "It's nothing, the Gu family went to the capital a few days ago, and the officials should have expressed their hearts about this matter." But because I hadn't come at the time, the money now is equivalent to expressing my heart at that time. ”

Gu Zizhong stepped back a little and said, "Aren't you just giving it to my brother?" Give it to me, I don't tell my family, doesn't that mean I didn't give it?"
