In the next few days, Gu Zizhong felt a little better, and some trivial matters at home also came. Gu Zi couldn't take care of it, and missed Brother Zishan.

Every time she takes care of the things at home, she is already exhausted.

A few days passed.

Lord Lin came to the house as a guest.

But unfortunately, Zhu Wangye was not at home.

Gu Zizhong, as the hostess of the family, naturally had to come forward to entertain the guests.

When Lord Lin came, he saw that Gu Zizhong was a girl, so he was not very willing.

Gu Zizhong saw the dissatisfaction in the eyes of others, and was naturally unhappy in his heart.

Why, the elders just want to talk to the elders.

It's a girl in front of you, so you don't care about it?

Gu Zizhong continued as usual, inviting people to sit down and drink tea.

Master Lin said with a smile: "Young lady, the old man came here this time to talk to Lord Zhu about something." Since he's not at home, I can wait for him. ”

Gu Zizhong gave others a dismount: "My lord, you are my father's disciple, and when my father was at home, Zizhong did not help you with some housework." That's why Purple Heavy can help you. You don't look at Zizhong's youth, but I can help you with a lot of things. ”

"Where?" Lord Lin blushed and shook his head, "How dare I look at you like that." ”

Lord Gu had already spoken, and Lord Lin couldn't hold back and not speak, thinking about it, he still said: "We have a bumper harvest in Jinling this year, so I came to find Lord Zhu for this grain." Young lady, you see that you are busy with housework, so I should not disturb you. ”

Gu Zizhong still didn't believe in this evil, so he had to discuss it with him to see what was going on.

Lord Lin had no choice but to say: "We have a bumper harvest this year, but the people have handed over the treasury, and the grain is still rich." There is a rumor on our side that there are people in the southwest who want to do business for us and exchange silver for grain. ”

This was originally a very ordinary thing, but when Gu Zizhong heard it, he always felt that something was abnormal.

There's always something wrong.

She looked at Lord Lin's face, and something was wrong.

She became suspicious, but she still kept a smile and said, "My lord, please don't hide it from Zizhong. Is there anyone doing business with you?"

Lord Lin thought for a moment and sighed, "Yes, of course there is." Some rich and noble families in the southwest want to do business with me. ”

Gu Zizhong's gaze changed, revealing tenderness in the coldness.

As soon as she changed her appearance, she changed back to a sense of casualness: "Buying and selling is a matter of your willingness." As long as Uncle Lin is willing to sell grain, isn't it?"

Lord Lin is worried in this place: "It's not that I don't want to, but ...... Those people are simply buying and selling. ”

How so?

Only then did Gu Zizhong raise his vigilance: "Daming's territory, does anyone dare to do this?"

How is it not.

Lord Lin has already said half of this, and the other half is not happy.

He said bluntly: "Let me say it bluntly, we are too close to the southwest, from Jinling to Chang'an, and then to Sichuan and Shu, but only a few days away." And we are too far away from the capital, so if the local princes want to fight with each other, the court can't control it. ”

Herein lies the problem.

Gu Zi listened heavily, his eyes kept rolling.

She thought for a moment and said, "Oh, Uncle Lin, you don't have to worry, just tell me if you have anything." I'll pass on what you said to my father-in-law. ”

Since Lord Lin has already said what he has said, he is not afraid to say more: "Young lady, we have very close dealings with the rich people in the southwest. So let's join forces with the Southwest. It is better for princes to unite with each other than to isolate themselves from each other. ”

This topic is very inappropriate.

Gu Zizhong coughed heavily and said, "I'm just a girl in the family, don't tell me about this kind of court matter." ”

Lord Lin made a difficulty, saying that it was you, but it was you if he didn't say it.

Women are really hard to do.

However, Master Lin's words Gu Zizhong took them to heart.

The King of the Southwest has been on the move.

My father-in-law doesn't know where he went, and he won't be able to come back for a while.

Gu Zizhong rolled his eyes and said, "That's it, I don't know about the affairs of the imperial court, and I don't dare to ask more." In this case, Uncle Lin, you go to the guest room to rest first. When my father-in-law returns, I will ask you to see him. ”

Lord Lin even thanked him.

Gu Zizhong's heart was uneasy.

She couldn't sit still at home and went to the barracks to see it herself.

My father-in-law was not in the barracks.

However, she met Zhu Sanzi and several other brothers.

And Zhu Liuhong, this guy hasn't seen him for a long time.

Zhu Liuhong is a lot haggard.

Gu Zizhong met with others again, and he didn't know what to say.

Zhu Liuhong persuaded her, saying that she should be careful of the Jinyi guards in the city.

Gu Zizhong also laughed at him: "You blackmailed my family for 20,000 taels of silver at the beginning, but now how can you live like a beggar?"

Zhu Liuhong was very faceless: "Alas, don't mention it." Haven't they been looted by the Jinyi Guard!"

It turned out to be because of this.

Gu Zizhong almost laughed: "I heard again that Miss Dailan is very popular in the palace. Why don't you go to her?"

Zhu Liuhong hung his head again, but did not speak again.

Gu Zizhong didn't ask any more, for fear that it would touch on other people's hearts.

She left the barracks.

But when she returned home, her father-in-law had already returned.

She told her father-in-law everything about Lord Lin's coming.

Zhu Wangye was very indifferent and went to the guest room to meet Brother Lin.

Gu Zizhong didn't want to follow him, so he just stayed in the courtyard.

Aunt Cui hugged Qing'er over and said that Qing'er missed her mother.

Gu Zizhong smiled and said, "Let me take care of him." This little guy hasn't seen his mother for a long time. ”

Qing'er was very happy to see her.

The mother and son went to play in the courtyard.

After only an hour's effort, Lord Lin came out of the house and left in a hurry.

Gu Zizhong wondered how people could go so fast.

When Zhu Wangye came out of the guest room, he didn't have a good face.

Gu Zi dodged it recognizantly.

Zhu asked Aunt Cui to help stew the soup, and then went back to the room.

Feng Ming came over and said that she had heard something at the door.

Gu Zizhong's curiosity came up again, and he hurriedly went to ask.

Feng Ming said: "Lord Lin and our Lord Zhu have different opinions, the two of them have been arguing for a long time, but they have never been able to argue. ”

Just because of this?

Feng Ming continued: "Actually, Lord Lin means that he wants the Jinling Zhu family and King Kang Mian to unite. But Old Man Zhu disagreed. ”

Nonsense, this kind of thing is changed to no one agrees.

Feng Ming said: "Old man Zhu drove the family away. The atmosphere was tense. ”
