The moment he finished speaking, time in the room seemed to stand still, and no one made a sound, even his breathing was extremely careful. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Because at this moment, Gu Zhengde, the old lady of Dingguo Mansion, his expression was unprecedentedly ugly, and he seemed to be extremely angry, holding the hand of the tea cup, so strong that he could see the bulging finger bones and green tendons, and even his beard was trembling.

Everyone knows that Gu Ziyu is the son of the long house, and he will be the successor of this Dingguo Mansion in the future, but the person who nurtured this grandson turned out to be such an unworthy person, if this is known to outsiders, it is clearly to slap him in the face of Dingguo Mansion in front of the world, and teach him how to raise his head in the cabinet in the future?

Gu Zhengde closed his eyes a little bored, and when he opened his eyes again, the hand holding the tea cup was loosened, and his expression was as calm as ever, but the coldness in his eyes was like a cold blade, telling everyone that closing up at this time is the way to protect himself.

"The Li family deceived the upper and lower levels, made it difficult for the young master, repeatedly taught and did not change, remembered that he had entered the house for many years, and was allowed to send him to the family nunnery, repented of the scriptures, and was not allowed to come out for life. ”

Hearing the last five words, Li's body was cold, his eyes were blank, and he was like a soul, but he didn't dare to say a word.

What is the place of the family nunnery, the Gu family is very clear, it is the punishment of the female dependents who have committed a very serious crime in the house, located on the inaccessible Qingfeng Mountain, only a small nunnery, guarded day and night, anyone who is sent in is not allowed to leave the nunnery, only a deaf and blind old woman sends food and water every day, there is no one who accompanies the talker, can only repent of his crimes to the Bodhisattva every day, and after a few years, life is no different from death.

"How is this? ”

Gu Zhengde turned his head to look at Fu Shi beside him, and from Gu Zhengde's eyes, Fu Shi understood that Gu Zhengde was not asking for his own opinion, but just silently telling her that it was up to the owner to beat the dog, and he knew very well who the Li family had carefully selected for Brother Yu.

Fu's body stiffened, since the old Duchess and her mother-in-law passed away, she hadn't felt this pressure for a long time, and she couldn't breathe.

But Fu Shi knew that he couldn't lose face in front of the juniors and servants, so he withdrew his hand holding the placket of his clothes and said forcefully: "Such a slave, even if you drag it out immediately and kill it, the master is merciful, this kind of punishment is already good." ”

Gu Zhengde glanced at Fu Shi deeply, and then turned his head to look at Zhou Chuan, who was paralyzed like a pile of mud, there was no disgust in his eyes, and his tone was a little more indifferent: "Zhou Chuan is not good at work, reward thirty boards as punishment, since there is a wife who has been sick for a long time at home, there is no need to do errands in this house, go home and take care of your wife and children with peace of mind." ”

Hearing that Gu Zhengde knew so much about Zhou Chuan's family affairs, Yu's heart sank, and he almost hung to the bottom of the cliff, he used to only think that Mrs. Fu was in charge of the house, and Gu Zhengde had no time to take care of the housework in the house, but now that he looks, Gu Zhengde knows better than Mrs. Fu!

"Second daughter-in-law, this is the person you married, I will deal with it like this, you see, it is feasible. ”

Although it was a question, there was no inquiring tone.

When Yu Shi heard the mention of herself, she was shocked, forcibly suppressed her hand that wanted to tremble, and raised her head to meet Gu Zhengde's seemingly inquiring eyes, but she clearly saw speculation, suspicion, and even vigilance in that look.

Yu got up solemnly, squatted down and saluted, and spoke extremely calmly: "The daughter-in-law is a member of the Gu family since she married into the Gu family, and the slave she brought over is even more of a slave of the Gu family. ”

After Yu Shi said these words, which can be called extremely knowledgeable, she still didn't dare to relax, and she withstood the disdainful or speculative gaze of everyone, and the most cold sweat was Gu Zhengde's unfathomable eyes.

Gu Zhengde looked at Yu Shi silently for a moment, and then his expression eased again, and he said with some appreciation: "Okay." ”

But Yu Shi knew very well that the old lady's tone was clearly not appreciative.

Everyone's tense nerves relaxed, and they breathed a sigh of relief, Gu Zhengde turned his gaze to Gu Yanchao, who was watching the excitement on the side, his expression was a little more serious, and he slowly spoke: "The grounding has not been removed, and I have openly gone out of the room, which shows that the rules in my house are loose, so I will personally order that the four girls will be grounded for two months, punished and copied the "Women's Ring" ten times, and then handed it over to me in person after writing. ”

As soon as they heard the admonition, everyone was stunned, and their scalps couldn't help tingling.

Originally, except for the royal family, no one was allowed to be lynched, but the internal affairs of the public house were messy, and there were a lot of pickled things over the years, so it was a tacit matter for everyone to set up a private criminal court and deal with slaves.

Because of the emphasis on benevolence and righteousness and the consideration of subordinates, this commandment court is rarely used, but even so, everyone in the house knows that this commandment courtyard is entered, which can make life worse than death and cut off a layer of skin.

Everyone was silent, Gu Zhengde got up slowly, and said without seeing his expression: "The cabinet still has political affairs, Zisheng, you come with me to worship the hall." ”

When the words landed, Gu Zhengde had already stepped out of the threshold, and when he looked up was a bright silver moon, Gu Zhengde frowned slightly.

For his sons, since he was a child, he has paid the most attention to respecting the elders and loving the young, and what he is most afraid of is killing each other for a position......

For many years, the house has always been the picture of his brothers, friends and brothers, but today's incident made him doubt what he had seen before, and even began to be uneasy.

Could it be that all the undercurrents are hidden under this so-called calm, and they paralyze him?

Zisheng is Gu Jingxi's small character, when he heard his father call him, he knew that he should be asked about something, so he hurriedly got up and made a gesture to the old lady, glanced at Xie and the eldest daughter, and gave a reassuring look, and then walked out with his robe.

Looking at the crowd in the house, the old lady Fu Shi didn't have to be upset for a while, and looked at Gu Yanchao, who was stunned there, she was even more angry, she really didn't understand, after living for so many years, she finally sat in her current position, and wanted to enjoy her old age in peace, how could she have so many worry-free things?

"What are you doing here, why don't you go back to your Jade Courtyard to reflect?"

The old lady's words were like a slap in the face, waking up Gu Yanchao, the plot changed too quickly, Gu Yanchao didn't understand, it was obviously the fault of the big house, the second room, why should she be punished......?

"Shut up!"

The old lady immediately interrupted Gu Yanchao's words sharply, and glared angrily: "You are still justified in ignoring my grounding order? You are still wronged? If you are wronged, why don't you dare to shout in front of your grandfather? I really spoil you so much that I spoil you so much! Why don't you go down quickly!"

Gu Yanchao was originally shocked by Gu Zhengde's silent air pressure, and this time he saw that the old lady had never been so angry, and he was a little afraid in his heart, and he snorted a few times, but he didn't dare to speak out again, so he had to be persuaded by Yinping and Yinzhu with tears of grievance.

Xie saw that the play was over, got up and saluted the old lady with a headache and prepared to retire, the most difficult thing for the old lady to see at this time was Xie.

As a mother-in-law, she went to Xie's sickbed to talk badly, so she persuaded Xie to take the frail Brother Yu over to raise her, but the person who was personally assigned to serve Brother Yu in the past did not have a good thing inside and out, teaching her how to speak well as a mother-in-law, and how could she be embarrassed to stand up straight in front of this eldest daughter-in-law?

Therefore, the old lady waved her hand tiredly, and she couldn't even lift her head.

Gu Yanling got up and walked out with Xie Shi, obviously aware that when Xie Shi walked to Yu's side, he stopped for a moment, turned his head slightly, and there was a little more coldness in his eyes, but before outsiders could notice it, Xie Shi had already retracted his gaze and walked out with a faint expression.

When Gu Jingzhao saw this scene, he also felt a trace of boredom and unhappiness in his heart, he didn't feel Xie Shi's condensed attitude just now, his eldest sister-in-law has always been shrewd, and the relationship that has been maintained for so many years is afraid that it will be broken.

"Mother, it's late at night, you also rest early, and the sons go back first. ”

When everyone saw Gu Jingzhao get up, they also hurriedly got up, especially the three-room couple, who couldn't wait to flee immediately, who knew that the old lady, who was originally a little tired, suddenly raised her head, her pupils shrank, her eyes stared straight at Yu, and said in a bad tone: "The rest of the people go back, the second one, the second daughter-in-law stays." ”

Gu Jingzhao frowned slightly, but Yu Shi felt a little uneasy, and when everyone heard this, they hurriedly fled and left.

The room was quiet for a moment, and the old lady leaned there, not saying or asking, just staring at Yu.

Although tonight's incident ruined Gu Jingzhao's chess, he was also clear about these things, and even acquiesced, and he couldn't blame the Yu family for being a husband and wife for many years.

Gu Jingzhao was about to speak, but the old lady opened her mouth first, and her words were cold but full of temptation: "Second daughter-in-law, do you know what happened tonight?"

Gu Jingzhao frowned, but Yu was slightly stunned, he didn't expect the old lady to ask such a frank question, so he had to say calmly: "The daughter-in-law doesn't know." ”

"I really don't know?"

Yu Shi raised his head, met the unfathomable eyes of the old lady, his nails were deeply embedded in the flesh, he stood up forcefully, and knelt down, looking a little aggrieved: "Tonight's matter, the daughter-in-law really doesn't know, if she knows, how can she ...... Zhou Chuan so far"

Seeing this, the old lady's eyes eased slightly, but she still stared at Yu, Gu Jingzhao saw that Yu at this time was indeed forced to have no way out, so he hurriedly got up and said: "Mother, Ayu is gentle and virtuous, you know, my son believes in her, and he will not know and be silent." ”

The old lady who had been relieved saw Gu Jingzhao pleading for the Yu family like this, and the suppressed anger couldn't help but rise again, and she couldn't hold it back anymore.

"Enough!"

Seeing that the old lady was angry, Gu Jingzhao couldn't help but be a little stunned, the old lady was very good to him in the past, as long as he pleaded, the old lady had nothing to do, why was she so angry today?

"What do you know?"

The old lady pointed at Gu Jingzhao angrily, as if she wanted to vent all the grievances and unhappiness she had endured tonight.

"I finally gave up my old face and asked your sister-in-law to go to the imperial concubine to help you ask for the position of Jishi of the Hanlin Academy, it should have been a sure thing, but your old father-in-law is good, offended Yan Ge Lao, Yan Ge Lao entered the cabinet earlier than your father, and people say a word, so that you can only be a member of the Ministry of Rites now!"

Like a thunderbolt, it exploded in the ears of Gu Jingzhao and Yu, Gu Jingzhao was stunned, and Yu was even more stunned.

Wailang, a member of the Ministry of Rites, from the five products, sounds like a Beijing official, compared to the Fujian Governor County, it is raised, but compared to the other five of the six, the Ministry of Rites is not powerful, nor can it be regarded as oil and water, in addition to the Shangshu and the left and right waiters, what is the difference between the idlers who run errands?

Now in the cabinet, in addition to Gu Zhengde, who made an exception for his meritorious service, he was introduced into the cabinet, and from the first assistant Zhang Ge Lao, and to the second assistant Yan Ge Lao, Xu Ge Lao, all of them are Jinshi and the first, and Shu Jishi was born.

"Originally, I was expecting your sister-in-law to go to the imperial concubine again in the future, but now that such a thing has happened, how can you make people not suspicious? How can your sister-in-law not be cold?

Seeing Gu Jingzhao stunned there, his face was extremely bad, as if he had lost his soul, he didn't speak for a long time, just stood there, the old lady couldn't bear it after all, looked at the pale Yu family on the side, frowned unhappily after all, and said coldly: "That's it, you guys go, the old woman doesn't want to care." ”

After speaking, Mrs. Fu helped Mama Zhou to leave tiredly, leaving Gu Jingzhao and his wife alone, the night was as cold as water, Gu Jingzhao didn't know how long he had been standing, he only felt that his clenched hand had been cold and unconscious, so he glanced at Yu coldly: "You go back, I'll go to the study." ”

After hearing this, Yu's body trembled, and he hurriedly called out Gu Jingzhao's small words.

"Retain—"

However, as soon as the words came out, Gu Jingzhao's figure had already disappeared in front of him, Yu's body was weak, and he sat back on the chair, she had been a husband and wife for many years, she knew what Gu Jingzhao cared about the most, power and status.

And now, because of this concern for power, there is a ditch between them that is difficult to cross.
