The child woke up and was in good spirits, which made Gu Yuezhi and his wife overjoyed.

"I'm fine, can I go back to school?" Tang Rin asked his parents.

Gu Yuezhi smiled: "What's the hurry? Take a day off and go again. ”

Tang Rin thought about it and said yes.

Then, Gu Yuezhi instructed the maid and the nurse to take care of him and take him back to his yard. If something is not good, come and sue again.

After Tang Rin left, Gu Yuezhi talked to Tang Yijin about Jinxianglou.

"I didn't come back all night, what did I say to my dad, how did things go?" Gu Yuezhi said.

Tang Yijin said: "I didn't say anything, I was just waiting for news." My second brother and I went to Jinxianglou, but the bustard didn't let me in, saying that if you want to enter Jinxianglou, you have to follow the rules, give money first, and then compose poems. There were a lot of people around to make a fuss, and the people brought by the family almost fought with them. I thought, they are so cross, there is someone behind them, right, so I went to my father-in-law.

My father-in-law happened to be at home, and when he heard about it, he was a little angry, saying that the power behind Jin Xianglou was actually not particularly big, and he was a salt merchant who made a fortune. There are some contacts with Beijing, but there is no strong backer. This is so horizontal and unusual, so my father-in-law asked someone to investigate. ”

"What did you find?" Gu Yuezhi asked.

"I checked for a long time, but I didn't find anything. The father-in-law was even more angry, saying that the more difficult it was to investigate, the more ghosts there were, so let me spend more money to do it. Later, I found out that I was afraid that it was related to Jinyiwei......" Tang Yijin lowered his voice.

Gu Yuezhi frowned: "That brothel, opened by Jinyiwei?" ”

"I don't know. Father-in-law said. Xu Qin, the commander of Jinyiwei, is a cold-blooded and cold-faced person. If he was short of money, and there was a scramble to give it to him, he would not get involved in the business of the brothel. The left and right commanders are the same knowledge, one is Tan You, the eldest son of the Tan family, and the other is the cousin of Concubine Zhang Shu. Further down, there is no power, knowing that the Tang family and the Gu family are in-laws, they dare not be so bold. If there is anything, it must be Tan You and the Zhang family. Father-in-law said. Also check. It takes some effort to let me come back first, I'm afraid you'll worry. Tang Yijin said.

After hearing this, Gu Yuezhi was panicked: "Since it has something to do with Jinyiwei." Don't look it up. It came out of the matter of the third master. Our family has become a joke. Add another layer. It doesn't hurt either. But if it's related to Jinyiwei, don't offend them......"

She thought about Tang Rin's illness, which was almost cured. He said, "I'll go back." I can't let my father have a grudge with others for our sake. ”

Tang Yijin didn't answer.

He was silent for a moment before he said, "My father-in-law said that he would not be afraid of anyone in the court......"

"I'd rather offend a gentleman than a villain!" Gu Yuezhi interrupted her husband's words sharply, "Jinyi Wei are all the emperor's cronies. In the future, the emperor will doubt my father, and those people will definitely take the opportunity to fall into the ground. It's not worth it for the sake of the third master. ”

Tang Yijin saw that his wife's tone was not good, so he nodded again and again: "You still have insight." ”

Gu Yuezhi didn't bother to say much, called the maid to comb her hair and change her clothes, and hurriedly returned to Gu's house.

It rained all night last night, the road was muddy, and it took an hour for the carriage to get home.

Gu Yantao has already gone out.

The eldest lady picked up her daughter and asked her, "Brother Rin is all right?" "Gu Yuezhi is willing to go back to her parents' house, and the child is naturally fine.

Gu Yuezhi nodded, and asked the eldest lady: "It's all right, get up and jump around, and say that you want to study, don't worry." Where's my dad? ”

"I went out in the morning." The eldest lady said.

"Is it for the Tang family?" Gu Yuezhi said hurriedly, "Mother, I heard Yi Jin say that behind Jinxiang Building, there may be Jinyi Wei to support him." In my opinion, forget it. Tan'er's suicide note and small clothes, they can put them as long as they like, the Tang family's reputation is already like this, what are they afraid of? Daddy must not come out, lest he offend people and do not know. ”

She said in a hurry.

The eldest lady took her hand and said with a smile: "It has nothing to do with Jinyiwei, it's from the Tan family." ”

Gu Yuezhi's brows relaxed slightly, and asked, "Who is the Tan family?" ”

"The original owner of Jinxianglou, in order to find a decentralized county order errand, had already transferred Jinxianglou to the fourth master of the Tan family. The Tan family is strict and does not allow children and nephews to do such transactions, so the fourth master of the Tan family has been hiding it. Jinxianglou is relatively horizontal, and it is not only available today. I offended people the year before last, and someone checked it. Tan Siye begged his brother Tan You for help and concealed the matter. Your father touched the melon along the vine, and found Tan You of Jinyiwei and found Tan Siye. He is now going to Tan's house. The eldest lady laughed.

Gu Yuezhi became anxious again.

"The Tan family is even more difficult to mess with, mother!" Gu Yuezhi said, "In the future, when the eldest prince ascends the throne, the Tan family will be the emperor's foreign family, and the capital is not yet covered by them, what will Daddy do when the time comes?" Why bother, the Tang family caused trouble and let Daddy come out. ”

The eldest lady's smile narrowed a little, and said, "The Tang family has no backers now, and in the hands of your father-in-law, it is even worse." Now that the Tang family and our family have been tied together, do you think there is only the Tang family? Don't come back those things, it's not just a slap in the face of the Tang family, but the Gu family is also disgraceful.

Besides, before and after this incident, how much advantage did Jin Xianglou take? ransom that Tan'er at the beginning and gave 40,000 taels; and then sold her, only to get back 10,000 taels, and Jin Xianglou got 30,000 taels for nothing.

Tan'er was in Jinxianglou and died two months later, so it wasn't all the Tang family's fault. Your father is now at home, riding the wall in the middle, swaying left and right. After this incident, the Gu family hid and didn't come out, others only thought that your father's prestige was insufficient, who would take refuge in him in the future? ”

Gu Yuezhi didn't think so deeply.

She was in too much of a hurry.

Listening to my mother say this, it makes a bit of sense to let go of Buddha.

The Tang family and the Gu family are in-laws, and they both prosper and lose. If Daddy doesn't come out, others will guess that Daddy is incompetent.

The political situation is treacherous and changeable, and every step must be taken carefully and strongly.

"I'm not at ease." Gu Yuezhi said, "The Tang family can't support the wall with mud, I'm afraid that my father will put himself in for the sake of fighting for breath." ”

The eldest lady laughed again and said, "Your father, you have long passed the age of contention. Although he loves you, he won't let the whole family sink into the mud. He acts. Naturally, there is a deeper plan. You have to trust your daddy. ”

Gu Yuezhi showed a smile at this time.

She thought that Tang Rin had just recovered from a serious illness, and her husband and mother-in-law were also anxiously waiting for the results, so she got up to say goodbye and wanted to go back to Tang's house.

The eldest lady didn't keep her, but only persuaded her to relax.

Gu Yuezhi returned home, and Tang Yijin was not in the courtyard.

The maid said that he went to Uncle Tang and Mrs. Tang.

Gu Yuezhi didn't say anything, went to Tang Rin's courtyard and looked back at Tang Rin.

Tang Rin is recovering from a serious illness, although the fever has subsided. People still don't have much strength. So lie in bed and read.

Seeing that his son did not have a fever anymore, Gu Yuezhi went back to his yard.

She had only slept for half an hour last night.

Now that the burden in her heart is lifted, she is a little sleepy.

Thinking that Tang Yijin went to Mrs. Tang's side, he was afraid that he would not be able to finish talking for a while. simply asked the maid to distribute wide clothes for her. She went to bed for a nap.

——*——*——

“…… Yuezhi said. I'd rather offend a gentleman than provoke a villain. She went back and told her father that it was better to forget it. Things don't want anymore, let them laugh and go. Tang Yijin told his parents about it. He didn't say what Gu Yuezhi said that it was not worth offending Jinyiwei for the sake of the third master, he only said that he should not provoke the villain.

Uncle Tang's eyes flashed a little angry: "It's all that brute, making the Tang family so embarrassed!" ”

"What's the use of scolding these words now?" Mrs. Tang sobbed in a low voice, "What should I do?" You see, once there is a difficulty, everyone else is wise to protect themselves, even the in-laws. ”

Tang Yijin felt that his mother's words were too much.

"Mother, my father-in-law didn't say it didn't matter. It's just that things are also prioritized. Tang Yijin said.

Mrs. Tang said: "The most urgent thing now is to get the suicide note and those little clothes back, the longer you wait, the more people will see the joke." At that time, not only scholars, but even market vendors and pawns have seen it all. If your father-in-law still has a daughter in his heart, he should help us this time. We are embarrassed, and we are also embarrassed by Yuezhi......"

Uncle Tang was unhappy: "Your own child is embarrassed, why should others help you?" With these complaints, why didn't you discipline your son well in the first place? ”

"Or is it my fault?" Mrs. Tang cried even more, "The family raised a son, was it taught by his mother?" You didn't teach him well, but you didn't look for me ......"

Tang Yijin watched his parents complain to each other, and he was at a loss.

was making a fuss, and the maid said outside the curtain that the county lord was here.

When the county lord of Sirou came in, he knelt on the ground with a puff and cried.

Tang Yijin had a headache.

He thought, anyway, he didn't have the ability to persuade this situation, so he simply sneaked out to see if Gu Yuezhi came back and asked her to save the scene.

He came out of the main courtyard, and the steward outside hurried in, looking happy, and carrying a burden in his hand.

Seeing Tang Yijin, he hurriedly greeted him, saluted Tang Yijin, and said, "Uncle, this is sent by someone from the Gu family." Here is Tan'er's suicide note and small clothes, which the marquis of the Gu family gave to his uncle and wife. ”

Tang Yijin took a big breath.

He said, "Give it to me." ”

The steward said yes, and handed over the burden to Tang Yijin.

Tang Yijin took it into the main room.

got the baggage, Mrs. Tang and the county lord finally stopped crying,

Uncle Tang was grateful: "I want to personally thank my in-laws." ”

He was also unambiguous, immediately changed his clothes and went to Gu's house.

Tang Yijin went with him.

Mrs. Tang looked at these things, and only felt disgusted, so she asked someone to take them and burn them.

The county lord of Sirou saw it and said, "Mother, why don't you give it to me, I'll take it and burn it, so as to ease the turbidity in my heart!" ”

Mrs. Tang thought about it, didn't dare to fight with the county lord, and finally handed over the things to the county lord Sirou.

Today, the third master of the Tang family is still locked up in the small study in the west garden of the Tang family.

The world is turned upside down outside, but he doesn't know anything and lives a quiet life.

Lord Sirou took these things and went back to her own courtyard.

She didn't burn it, and told the maid to secretly take it to the small study in Xihuayuan and show it to the third master.

"It's not right, it's not right!" Mother Zhong beside her hurriedly stopped her, "County Lord, you show these to the third master, aren't you just suing him, Tan'er is dead?" If the third master can't slow down in one breath, he will also commit suicide, and you still have to keep filial piety for him? You keep the things first, and then you give them to him after you have left. At that time, you were also angry, and it didn't matter to you whether he lived or died......"

After the separation, according to the identity of the county lord of Sirou, she can remarry, and even marry well.

But if a widowed woman remarries, she will be spurned and unfaithful by the world.

There's a big difference.
