Chapter 213: The year is sad
(~Small~Say~Net~Look~Most~New~Chapter~Section******
On this day, he spent his time as an uncle in the East Courtyard as usual, ignoring the countless visitors and posts outside the courtyard. Su Peisheng quietly came in and handed over a post.
can overcome many obstacles and ask Grandpa Su to deliberately bring it in, presumably not a simple person,
Li Wei looked at the fourth master curiously and took the post, looked at the signature and asked Su Peisheng, "Who sent it?"
"It's Gu Yan." Su Peisheng said.
The fourth master stayed and put on shoes, Li Wei saw that he was going to go out to meet people, and immediately followed him to get clothes, Su Peisheng consciously went to get a comb and helped the fourth master break up the messy braids and braid them again.
Let her be thinking on the side, who is this Gu Yan?
Sending the fourth master away, she shouted the jade bottle: "Take out all the posts we received in previous years." ”
Idle is idle anyway. If this Gu Yan is really important enough to call the fourth master away with a post, she must have his family's gift list here.
The jade bottle said worriedly: "All wanted? That's a lot of boxes. ”
Li Wei thought for a while and said, "First find out the posts of Hongshi's landing, washing, full moon, and first birthday." ”
She has no impression of Gu Yan at all, so it can be seen that she doesn't often associate with the fourth master. But this person is so important, and when Hongshi lands on this kind of big event as the Fourth Master's Mansion, he should be able to find Gu Yan's post.
There are several stacks of them.
It took several times for the jade bottles and jade cigarettes to be moved, and they were piled up all over the couch.
It's about finding the rhythm of next year. Li Wei called Ergege and looked for her with her.
"Which post is E-Niang looking for?" Ergege soon came, and the mother and daughter began to flip through the posts of a couch.
She said: "Gu family, I don't know, surname Gu." ”
Ergege is also confused, E-Niang wants to find a post, and she doesn't even know which one it is?
Because after entering the customs, the Manchu people became popular with Han names, so it is not clear whether this Gu Yan is a Manchu or a Han person. The two of them turned over in great pain. In order to add a little fun to this boring work, Li Wei began to teach Ergege to look at the relationship with the house from the post, and whether the other party is close to the fourth master? Taboo? Socializing as a business? Wait a minute.
The gifts on the post are all worth a thousand gold, and they may not have a good relationship with the Siye Mansion. For example, the post of the Chengen Mansion was highlighted.
Er Gege looked puzzled and said, "Isn't this Tang Bohu's painting?" ”
"You Amma don't like to draw." Li Wei explained, seeing that Ergege still didn't understand, she thought about it for a while, and said in a different way: "Although you Ama likes to paint, he doesn't show it outside. So if this painting is given to you Sanbo, it is very suitable. Because what he shows on the outside is that he likes calligraphy and painting very much. ”
Ergege now understood, "Oh, so this person gave this painting, not because Amma likes it, but because this painting is valuable?" ”
"Precious." Li Wei changed her word, and the appearance of the fourth master was not so wealthy. The giver of the gift was given because of the value of the painting. But I still didn't get the ass right.
In fact, Hongshi landed, just send something for children, it doesn't have to be worth much, it's a mind. The fourth master is not a person who refers to this kind of thing to collect money.
Edutainment, there are too many things in various posts, and many of them can only be understood by one's own understanding. Li Wei found that the posts were also very talented, and planned to wait for Hongyu to come back, and give him and Ergege a bunch of posts to read back.
"Ah, I found it." Ergege said, holding up a post with a very ordinary appearance.
This post opens with a few lines of words on it, and the stamp is the totem of the Iljue Logan clan. The gifts given are really inconspicuous: a pair of silver collars, a pair of silver children's five blessing bracelets, a pair of anklets, and a safety lock.
It's all made of silver.
Li Wei's first feeling is: This family must not be very rich.
There are two signatures, Gu Badai in the front, big characters, Gu Yan in the back, small characters.
In this way, the fourth master should value this Gu Badai. Gu Yan is about the descendant of Gu Badai, and wrote this post for Gu Badai and gave it a gift. Then Gu Yan came to the house today, I don't know if it was for the fourth master.
She took the post to open her mind, and Ergege came up curiously to read it.
Li Wei came back to her senses and said with a smile: "Okay, I just wanted you to take some posts back and read them." Hurry up and go. ”
Ergege smiled and responded, but instead of taking the post back to the courtyard where she now lives with Da Gege and Ergege, she asked someone to move into her west wing in the east courtyard.
Li Wei turned out all Gu Yan's posts. Sure enough, from the second grid, the Gu family has gifts every time, although they are all inconspicuous, but they are all very appropriate. It should be said that it is a real heart.
For example, Ergege was born prematurely that year, although he had been raised back when the full moon was full, but the longevity lock and collar that the Gu family gave to Ergege were engraved with a swastika pattern.
It seems that he is really an old friend of the fourth master, and he still has a deep friendship.
It's just that I don't seem to have much contact with the Fourth Master's Mansion.
Li Wei had the image of a big hermit in her mind.
She thought that the fourth master would see this Gu Yan no matter how she said that she would see it at night, and maybe she would have to leave a meal, but at most two hours, the fourth master would come back.
It's not dark yet.
Li Wei was particularly surprised to greet her, "Why is it so early?" Didn't leave anyone to eat? ”
The fourth master's face was not as happy as when he went out, he shook his head and said, "Mr. Gu is sick, and he has to rush back to take care of him." After saying that, he left. ”
After dinner, he explained the relationship between the Xia Gu family and him.
"You probably don't know. Mr. Gu was my teacher, but Kangxi fell ill in the thirty-seventh year, and the emperor allowed him to go home to recuperate. Speaking of this, the fourth master sighed, "I may not have seen Mr. for a long time." ”
probably recalled the teacher who taught him when he was a teenager, and the fourth master spent a longer time on writing today, and he planned to read it at night after writing. Li Wei didn't want to disturb him, and second, she couldn't hold it and went to sleep first. He only vaguely felt that the light was on for most of the night, and he went to bed when it was almost dawn.
When he lifted the covers, he came in with a cloud of cold air. She dragged him into her arms in a daze, put her face on his face, and fell asleep again after a vague sentence.
The fourth master was so troubled by her that he didn't dare to move for a long time, for fear of waking her up again. Seeing that she was asleep, she gently pulled out her hand and covered the quilt.
Outside the window, there was still a black hole, but there was the sound of chickens crowing in the distance.
Gu Yanlai was not all Gu Badai's idea. He came here on the entrustment of Li Zhenyu, the secretary of the household department. Last year, the household owed only 800,000 taels of silver, but this year it has 1.4 million taels.
Li Zhenyu originally planned to carry this black pot, but now he is afraid of losing his life, and he can't afford to carry this pot, so he plans to confess his guilt for negligence.
But Li Zhenyu didn't want to drag on this matter any longer.
If it was revealed when it was 800,000 taels last year, he would have eaten one or two reprimands at most.
This year, it is 1.4 million taels, and if he fights hard, he can at least get out of the way.
If it were to double next year, he would have to take his whole family into the Yama Palace.
Li Zhenyu started as early as the middle of the year. At that time, the emperor was patrolling the fortress, because he married two princesses in a row and was crowned a Mongolian county king, and the silver of the household flowed out.
Li Zhenyu quietly did something to expose the emptiness of the treasury and asked the emperor to find out.
Therefore, the emperor was very low-key after returning to Beijing, and there was no major movement in Beijing. The fourth master has always felt that it is not right, Suo Etu died, the prince came back early to mourn, and the emperor did not react after returning to Beijing, not to say reprimand, nor to be relieved, but to completely forget about it.
He was still wondering if after Suo Etu's death, Shili in Beijing was out of balance, and the emperor didn't dare to move lightly for fear of losing one or the other?
It turned out that the emperor was in no mood to care about this matter now.
It's not that Gu Yan said it, the fourth master is still in the dark. A small hand and foot of a household secretary can actually affect the political situation so far?
No one should look good......
According to Gu Yandao, Li Zhenyu's move has a great impact, and maybe he will owe some silver during the New Year, and he will save money.
Before, the emperor frequently showed favors to the fourth master, and he really intended to ask him to take over the household. The fourth master also planned to wait for him to take charge of the household, and just took the arrears to Shi Wei, and his folds were more than half up, only to know that he was a big step late.
Gu Yan said: "Li Zhenyu asked me to ask the fourth master for a life, he is willing to serve the fourth master for the work of dogs and horses, just ask the fourth master's subordinates to give birth to a life, and let him live." ”
If it was before, the fourth master might want to take Li Zhenyu again. But after Gu Yan broke through Li Zhenyu's calculations, he knew that there were still a lot of goods in the stomach of this household book.
He has been tossing and turning three parts, and if he can subdue it, it will naturally be a big help for him. Since you can't suppress it with force, you can only be careful about it.
As for Gu Yan, he also came to ask for an official.
Gu Badai has been begging for nearly ten years and has not found a chance to return to the court, Gu Yan is unwilling to continue to stumble, and he has come to surrender to the fourth master. He said frankly that Gu Badai has been old and sick in recent years, and he is afraid that people will go to tea and cool, and after his father goes, he will have no future.
Remembering the feelings of the old man, the fourth master agreed to move around for him. Gu Yan knelt down and kowtowed, and threw himself under his door.
The fourth master looked very uncomfortable in his heart, and helped Gu Yan up and said: "Mr. treats me like a mountain, you and I are like brothers, don't do this again in the future." ”
Gu Yan said respectfully: "The fourth master commanded, and the slave should do it." It's just that the rules can't be messed up, if the slave holds his own identity again, how can he work for the fourth master? ”
When he said this, the fourth master was relieved. When Gu Yan was the son of Gu Badai, they were only connected because of Gu Badai, just like Gu Yan said, if Gu Badai returned to Yin, Gu Yan was his descendant, and the fourth master would take care of him, but he would never be close, unless he was very talented.
But when he was a servant of his disciples, it was different, his name was brother, but he was actually the master servant. Gu Yan's loyalty is the most important thing, and he is the son of Gu Badai, so he only adds a point or two of friendship.
I was crammed into a mess, and I fell asleep at dawn. As soon as I closed my eyes, I felt that Su Su next to me woke up.
She moved first, then spotted him, leaned over and stared at him for a long time.
The fourth master was thinking about whether she was going to get out of bed or to wake him up, when he felt her kiss him on the face.
Before I could be happy, I heard her laugh and whisper disgusted: "A lot of oil." ”
Fourth Master: ......==
