221, peace?
After seeing it, Qing Dai frowned and said: "It seems that the conviction is too heavy, Gu Guangyi will not say it, but Gu Cong is not guilty to death, plus he has been promoting grain everywhere in recent years, and the reputation of the people is quite good, if he is convicted by sitting down, I am afraid that it will arouse public anger." If not, he will be dismissed from his official position, and he will never be hired, and it will be reasonable to spare his life. ”
The emperor nodded and said: "I also see it this way, it's rare that you don't take personal grievances seriously, and this disposition shows that my queen is generous!" ”
The emperor left satisfied, and Qiu Feng, who had been promoted to Shangyi, couldn't care about her demeanor as a female official, and hurriedly stretched out her head and said, "Master? Why don't you let the emperor behead the Gu family?! Why speak for that bastard! ”
Qingdai nodded her head and said, "Don't worry!" Didn't I say that? Sometimes when you die, you are gone, and you don't know any pain, but only when you are alive can you know the pain, sadness, and what life is worse than death! ”
Qiu Feng understood this time, and clapped his hands happily and said, "I understand!" I'm going to let someone arrest Gu Cong! Waiting for punishment every day! Let him live better than die! ”
Qiu Yuan laughed out loud and pushed her: "Don't mess around!" The master has her own ideas, so don't worry about it. ”
Qing Dai said: "The matter of the Gu family ends here, our people don't have to work hard anymore, for Gu Cong, he has broken his career and can't be an official from now on, this is the biggest torture for him." Without an official future, he can't spend a lot of money, he must have a very sad life. That's enough, I want to see him wallow in the mire of resentment and pain, and live the rest of his life in pain! ”
Qiu Yuan asked, "What about Gu Baoying?" She's fine, I heard that she pesters Young Master Hanbai every day, and keeping her is also a scourge! ”
Qing Dai sighed: "Han Bai used her to make Zhu Zhanqi, and it is inevitable that he will feel a little guilty about her. sparing her from dying this time can be regarded as the cause and effect of this for Han Bai. As for what to do in the future, follow Hanbai's wishes, in short, Gu Baoying's experience over the years can be regarded as retribution. ”
Gu Guangyi's case has finally landed. Gu Congbai came out of the prison and looked around blankly, unable to remember where he should go. When the Gu family had not yet closed the case, Hu Rong, the Marquis of Cheng'en, played a sad cry, wept and wept about the Gu family's bullying of their daughter and robbing their daughter's dowry, and finally begged the emperor for mercy, and also sentenced Hu Shanhui and Gu Cong to separate.
As the saying goes, a twisted melon is not sweet, and the emperor also heard about the strange behavior of the Gu family, and whoever marries such a daughter is called unlucky. The emperor also has a daughter, seeing that Hu Rong's heartache and daughter ignored the loss of honor in the palace, she cried as she spoke, and she also felt that she had a lot of affection, and even with a wave of the pen, Hu Shanhui and Gu Cong were allowed to separate. also asked the Gu family to return Hu Shanhui's dowry.
Because the Gu family has had to worry about feathers for so many years, for fear that eating too ugly will cause right and wrong, Gu Guangyi is still a very honest official on his face, but he also has a small family, and he has to dress and eat, not only that, but also eat well, dress well, and enjoy well. Moreover, the Gu Cong brothers and sisters were raised pampered since childhood, and they want the best in everything, so it is very expensive. So over the years, without the financial aid provided by the Sun family, most of the Gu family spent dowries on clothes. This hole has not been repaired yet, and Hu Shanhui's dowry will be refunded, and when the court comes to copy the Gu family again, it will really not be able to copy a few taels of silver.
When Gu Cong came out of prison, he realized that not only his home was gone, but his wife was also gone. The ladies of the family were all sold out, only Shi was old, and his temper was fierce, and everyone in the capital had heard of her fierce deeds, and anyone who bought this kind of girl was afraid that she would be able to toss her family away. So many people came to see what this stupid woman was like, but no one came to buy her. Gu Cong heard that his wife was still there, and he didn't know whether it was sad or happy, so he begged everywhere, and his former friends could only hide when they saw him, but a few confidants in the Qinglou couldn't see the suave Gu Tanhua so haggard, and they gave him some money in distress and asked him to redeem his wife.
Shi was ransomed, did not ask Gu Guangyi's future, did not ask his son about his current life, the first sentence was to ask his son: "How much money do you have?" ”
When she heard that her son had made up the money to ransom her, her face suddenly turned pale. After pondering for a while, he suddenly remembered: "What about your sister?" I remember saying that I had spared her when I raided my house. Hurry! Let's go to her! She is a first-class lady of the country! It's higher than your father's! If we follow her, we won't be freezing and starving! ”
Gu Cong was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly helped his mother to look for Gu Baoying.
I didn't want to go to Gu Baoying's house, but I knew that Gu Baoying had gone out a few days earlier, where did she go? Where do those people who watch the house know! It's just that seeing Gu Baoying taking Shi Zi'er and others with several carts of things, they must have gone to a distant place, and they won't come back for a while.
Where did this Gu Baoying go? It turned out that she came to the door to look for Li Yuting countless times that day, but she didn't want to be told by Menzi: Master Li has been released as the prefect of Jingzhou, and he has already taken people on the boat and left yesterday!
Gu Baoying almost fainted on the spot when she heard this, he, is this to avoid her entanglement? When his father was asked, his attitude changed greatly, could it be that all the previous mountain alliances and sea oaths were false? No way! I must find him and ask him in person!
Gu Baoying couldn't believe that her lover was such an ungrateful person! She was going to look him in the eye, and she was going to see if he could say anything out of her eyes!
Gu Baoying clutched her aching chest, gritted her teeth and said, "Pack up your things and go to Jingzhou!" ”
In this way, Gu Baoying quietly chased Jingzhou, she couldn't even care about reining in her father's body, how could she still think of her mother and brother?
Gu Cong and Shi stood on the street and didn't know what to do, and finally had to find an inn to settle down temporarily, unable to remember that the ancestral house of Yangzhou's hometown still had some sacrificial fields that could be left, and they could finally have something to eat when they returned to their hometown, and the mother and son went back to Yangzhou in a hurry.
When Qiu Yuan came in with the news from outside, Qiu Feng sighed and said, "It's a pity that this pair of conscientious mother and son!" Unexpectedly, they left the capital safely! ”
Qing Dai said indifferently: "Peace? We should be glad that they escaped death, but in the eyes of people like them who are not greedy enough, it is sad to have nothing rich and powerful now. Let's just look at it, they are poor and sick, how many years can they survive? If they can be content with the filial piety of their mothers and children, what if they can die in peace? ”
