On the night of this day, Gu Zizhong couldn't fall asleep for a long time, and he always thought about Brother Zishan in his heart.

But they don't know where he is.

The next morning, it was late in the morning.

It's Chinese New Year's Eve in the blink of an eye.

This is the first Chinese New Year's Eve since Gu Zi was reborn.

Before you know it, a year has passed.

She was still groggy in the morning and didn't want to get up.

Feng Ming came into the house and gave her hot water, but she still didn't want to move.

Feng Ming took the towel soaked in hot water and handed it to her.

She drilled out of the quilt and leaned back, wiping her face while asking, "Is my father-in-law back?"

Feng Ming responded: "The master came back last night, but he seems to be very unhappy." ”

"Huh?" Gu Zizhong's eyes flashed with a hint of hesitation.

She thought for a moment and muttered to herself: "Forget it, I'd better not trouble my father-in-law." ”

Feng Ming was very confident: "No, county lord, he loves you the most." Our uncle is the only seedling in our family, and you are my uncle's only woman, can't the master hold you in the palm of his hand?"

Gu Zizhong listened to these kind words and was very happy in his heart.

She also said, "When did you learn to say these things?"

Feng Ming was ashamed, pointed to the door, and said in a low voice: "Now that people outside are talking about you, it seems that the Zhu family values you very much." ”

Gu Zizhong sighed: "No wonder the nurse invited me to dinner last night." Let me say, why is the Zhu Mansion so peaceful? Even if there are no big people in it, at least there will be a few churning small people. It turned out that the nurse was hiding in the dark. ”

Feng Ming also said proudly: "Didn't she already let the county lord tell you to be afraid?"

Gu Zizhong "cut" and told Feng Ming: "Don't talk nonsense, I'm just unwilling to listen to the nurse's arrangement." After all, they are also my mother, although their status is not as good as mine, but I must have enough respect for others. ”

Feng Ming let out an "oh", saying that the county lord was obedient, but he was still counted.

Gu Zizhong sat down for a while, then got up, changed his clothes, cleaned up the house, sat in front of the bronze mirror and looked at himself in the mirror, and was suddenly shocked, when did he become so haggard.

She didn't know what to do now, and it was boring to be idle in the house all day.

Feng Ming looked at the county lord in a daze, so he leaned up and said softly: "County lord, it's not a problem for you to be bored in the house, otherwise I'll find two playmates for you to come over, and accompany you to kick the shuttlecock and jump rope?"

It's all a kid's trick.

When Gu Zizhong was in the deep palace, he felt very naïve when he watched this kind of game.

There was instinctive repulsion on her face.

Feng Ming saw that the county lord was unwilling, so he didn't say anything more.

"What about Keju?" Gu Zizhong said inadvertently.

Feng Ming shook his head: "Forget it, my lord's face has not been very good recently, and I don't dare to talk to him." ”

Gu Zizhong pursed her lips to comfort her, and at the same time said, "You don't need to go, I'll say it myself." What if we have a keju field at home, and you play with me when the time comes?"

Feng Ming seemed to be a child who had never seen much of the world, and jumped happily when he heard this.

Gu Zizhong also had this idea.

She is not the kind of person who is at ease with what happens, although she wants to live an ordinary life, but she must have the right to speak.

If she made a suggestion to her father-in-law, he could refuse, but he could not help but listen.

She said she still had to say it.

After thinking about it, when she was applying grease powder to herself, she looked at Feng Ming in the bronze mirror and said, "Is my father-in-law still sleeping now?"

Feng Ming shook his head: "I don't dare to go over and look, who knows what he's doing there?" Now the servants of the Zhu family are gone." I didn't dare to go there. ”

Gu Zizhong didn't say anything more.

Feng Ming thought for a while and said, "Oh, by the way, I heard that the master came back late last night, saying that it was because of the silver." When he came back, the old man's face was full of anger, presumably because the money matter was not negotiated. ”

Gu Zi regained interest: "No, that Zhu Liuhong hasn't been here recently." He...... Does he really want to blackmail the Zhu family?"

Feng Ming is very sure of this: "What do you think, that Zhu Liuhong has been much more honest recently, and he didn't dare to come to our house, but he let Zhu Wangye go out." ”

Gu Zizhong slapped the hairpin in his hand on the table: "Father-in-law, he is willing to follow?"

Feng Ming also felt helpless: "Otherwise, don't you know, the county lord, the IOU in Zhu Liuhong's hand still has a handprint, I can't rely on it, our family must pay back 20,000 taels of silver." ”

But......

Gu Zizhong didn't understand this matter from the beginning: "Something is wrong, how could he sign that IOU with Zhu Liuhong?"

Feng Ming shook his head.

Gu Zizhong thought to himself.

At this time, someone knocked lightly on the door: "Young lady, master, please come over." ”

A woman's crisp voice broke the silence of the room.

Gu Zizhong and Feng Ming were both startled.

The two of them have always been comfortable, don't say that someone is talking in front of the house, they are usually just people.

Now there was a sudden knock at the door, which frightened both of them.

Gu Zizhong hurriedly agreed.

Say anything, and it will come.

Gu Zizhong sighed and said, "Father-in-law, something happened to you, otherwise you wouldn't be able to look for me." ”

She looks quite confident.

After talking to Feng Ming, she handed over the house to Feng Ming to clean up, and went out alone.

followed the two women into her father-in-law's study.

It seems that my father-in-law usually likes to read.

Gu Zi called her father-in-law again.

Zhu Wangye turned around, looked at her, pointed to the chair on the side, and said, "Come, Zizhong, sit down and talk." ”

Gu Zizhong just sat down, and Zhu Wangye personally made tea for her.

She felt a little bad in her heart.

Gu Zizhong said: "Father, has there been anything in our family recently?"

Zhu Wangye was stunned.

Before he could say anything, his daughter-in-law took the initiative to ask.

also saved the previous polite words, Zhu Wangye said directly: "There is something wrong, otherwise how can I call you here." ”

Gu Zizhong thought that he was quite capable, but he didn't expect his father-in-law to think so.

Zhu Wangye sat on the chair next to her and gestured with her on the table: "Our family has recently had too delicate relationships with several big people in Jinling, and my father just invited you to come over and let you help analyze it." ”

Now she is really flattered, there are so many capable people in the Zhu family, besides, isn't her father-in-law in the first life of the dynasty more insightful than her, a little girl?

Gu Zizhong didn't even feel comfortable, was her father-in-law teasing her?

She naturally waved her hand: "Zi Chongcai is a shallow learner, so he won't know this." ”
