044 Worry
Even Gu Song is helpless, although she is pregnant and born in October, but this child is pampered in the upper room, except for the words of Rong Guogong and his wife, no one else listens, Gu Zhicheng is tempered and beaten, where can she be ruthless as a mother? So rebuke is not, and not rebuke is not.
Because of the recent scenery of the Wei family, on this day, the Duchess of Rongguo took him to the Wei Mansion to visit the door and came back, Qi Shi saw that his face was finally a little broader, so he called him close to speak: "Mrs. Han is good?" What has your Uncle Ji been busy with lately? ”
Gu Song replied respectfully.
Qi Shi was a little relieved, and then asked: "Your Uncle Ji is also a civil and military master now, I heard that he also started a poetry club with someone a few days ago, I don't understand, but your father seems to appreciate it." The Shen family is all learned people, and now your father wants you to learn poetry or something from the Shen family, you-"
"Don't mention the Shen family to me!"
Before Qi finished speaking, Gu Song's words that were frozen into ice were thrown out of his throat, and the slanted eyebrows became more and more steep.
"This kid!" Qi Shi was stunned for a long time, and only after a long time did he hold back his red face and exhale his breath.
The maids standing next to them instantly looked up at them, and quickly lowered their heads.
Qi couldn't help but resent Gu Zhicheng, she said that it was a bad idea, but he said that she should do it, and now look, she just opened her mouth here, and let the family block it back. This is still in front of a room of people, she has been dumped by her son so many times or four, what has she become in the eyes of the people?
couldn't help but sink his face, and slammed the cup on the ground: "Get out!" ”
The maids immediately lowered their heads and fished out.
Gu Song's eyes showed a hint of apology, but he still only pursed his lips, didn't say anything, and walked out.
The Qi family was about to die of anger.
Gu Zhicheng got off the morning court and stood outside the palace gate for most of the moment before getting on the horse.
At the moment, he doesn't know who to tell about his feelings, the emperor ordered the household department to transfer 100,000 taels of silver for disaster relief, and ordered to let the warehouses in the south open warehouses to help the disaster, such a large amount of silver is just down, anyway, the wind and rain have been smooth in the past few years, and the economic tax has gradually eased up, but the key is that the candidate who went to Guiqin really let Shen Yan speak again and pick Lu ingot!
Although he also expected this result, when it came out of Shen Yan's mouth first, it was different.
Before Shen Yan speculated about this matter, even if the result was the same, he probably wouldn't take it to heart, and maybe he would shout for Lu to go to the Lianxiang Mansion after the ya.
But when he heard the proclamator read out Lu Ting's name with his own ears, he couldn't mention the slightest joy, Shen Yan's words that some people covet disaster relief silver always buzzed in his ears, - 100,000 taels of silver, Guangxi is thousands of miles away from Beijing, as the saying goes, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, who can guarantee that no one will be tempted?
There is no doubt that Lu Ingot is shouldering a heavy burden, and it is also a beautiful difference.
But behind the scenery, I don't know how many people envy and hate, this is already a secret enemy under the tree. In addition to these, their old Lu family has no other people in the court who can help each other, he has not been in the government for a long time, his foundation is still shallow, and there is no one in the court to help him, if he is liquidated afterwards, he is a ready-made black pot stove!
And the black hands who really moved the money will definitely not let him have a chance to survive, even if the Shen family comes forward at that time, it may not be effective, and how can Shen Mi not come forward?
Thinking of the next almost visible crises, Gu Zhicheng really has two big heads. Seeing that Lu Ingot had been surrounded by people coming here, for fear of revealing his horse's feet, he hurriedly got on the horse and flashed.
Depressed and depressed, he returned to the house, and when he saw Qi lying crooked on the couch, he couldn't help but say angrily: "Pour water!" ”
Qi Shi was waiting for him to come here to greet him, so he took the opportunity to vent at him, where can he lie down when he sees this? Hurriedly put aside his previous grievances, poured a cup of tea with his own hands, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
What's wrong, what can Gu Zhicheng say?
The cunning rabbit is exhausted, the good bow is hidden, the heroes of the past dynasties are not so great when the world is peaceful, and the Zhou family's jealousy of the heroes is simply revealed, how can he not worry about the future of the Gu family?
Now that he finally started a relationship with the Shen family, he saw that both sides tacitly relied on each other, but he happened to encounter Lu Ingot - can he persuade Shen Mi not to associate with Lu Ingot anymore? He is just embarrassed to be this villain, and Shen Mi can only be called fresh if he can listen to him.
Of course, Lu Ingot may not be as dangerous as Shen Yan said, but this kind of thing is not an accident, and once something happens, there is no way to do it. Those who march never have the mentality of luck, because if they fail, they may lose their heads! Before Lu Ingot was really settled, he could still be a little careless, but now he no longer dared to despise it.
So he still had to go to Shen Mi to talk about it, but in what name did he say it?
He propped his forehead and patted his head in confusion.
If I knew that I would have delayed it for a few months and then had contact with the Shen family, there would not be so many mother-in-law affairs.
In his irritability, he saw Qi standing next to him, so he raised his head and said, "Where is Brother Song?" ”
It's good that he didn't mention Gu Song, but as soon as he mentioned him, the Qi family was angry again: "The good son you raised, now you don't take me as a mother in your eyes more and more!" As he spoke, he took out a silk to cover his face, and began to cry.
When Gu Zhicheng heard that this kid actually threatened to not even say the word Shen family in front of him, he couldn't help but get angry: "Bring that animal to me!" ”
How dare the people below slack off, and immediately jump to find someone.
Gu Song was quickly brought over, and only then did he call "father", and Gu Zhicheng turned around to get the horsewhip on the wall.
The purpose of Qi's crying with her husband is just to get a few words of comfort, where do you really want him to teach his son a lesson? Seeing this, he was so frightened that he hurriedly hugged Gu Zhicheng's waist, and turned his head to Gu Song: "What are you doing in a daze?" Not running yet?! ”
Gu Song didn't know why his father was so irritable, his reaction was a little delayed, and he was hit in the thigh by a whip from Gu Zhicheng, although he didn't use any force, but it was also very painful for him who was only wearing a summer shirt, where did he dare to stay longer? hurriedly pulled out his legs and ran to the room of the Duchess of Rongguo.
Gu Zhicheng was wrapped around his waist and couldn't move, so he had to throw the whip and yelled at Qi: "It's all what you are used to!" ”
Qi Shi let go of his hand, twisted the silk, glanced at him, and said, "This is also my fault." ”
remembered that Gu Song had grown up in the upper room since he was a child, and Gu Zhicheng was so depressed that he couldn't speak.
Why does he think that Shen Yan is not as worrying as this kid? The family is still a girl's family, and she is very organized in her speech and deeds, why can't Gu Song hold back a few words all day long? Does it really have anything to do with the amount of ink in your belly? Thinking about it again, those children of the Shen family are really handsome and modest, and even the porter in the house is no less talented than the old Xiucai, which shows that this knowledge is still edified.
The thought of this made his face feel hot deeply.
If he continues to let it go like this, the juniors of his Gu family are only afraid that they will be thrown hundreds of miles by the juniors of the Shen family!
The Shen family is a Shili family who has stood in Beijing for more than 100 years, if they give up this connection, what a big loss will it be for the Gu family?
- No, he still has to take care of Lu Ting.
"I'll go out."
Dropping these words, he went out again with his horsewhip.
Shen Mi came down from above, and his heart was also heavy, he always felt not very relieved that Lu Ingot was going to Guangxi with 100,000 taels of silver.
Although the imperial court will send troops to escort it, the chance of an accident on the road is very small, but what about after arriving in Guangxi? As the saying goes, it is easy to dodge a gun and difficult to defend against hidden arrows, and robbers on the road are easy to avoid, but it is the invisible hands around and below that make people feel afraid. The errand of 100,000 taels of silver is missing a corner, and Lu Ding's life is over.
Thinking of this, he put on his official hat and got up again, preparing to go to the Yamen of the Ministry of Household Affairs to find Lu ingot.
But when he glanced at the statue of Confucius on the wall, he suddenly saw the pride in Lu Inn Suri talking to him about his ambitions.
Lu Deng did not have any reliable network foundation, if he could do this errand this time, then even if he would not be promoted immediately, he would never forget him if he had the opportunity to serve in the future and the emperor. As a close friend, how could he be dragged back by some unfounded feelings? He only explained the word benevolence and righteousness to Shen Yan loudly last night.
When he was hesitating, the official came in and said, "My lord, the prince of Rongguo is here." ”
Gu Zhicheng?
Shen Mi was slightly stunned, and in an instant he saw the dark door, and then regained his expression and greeted him.
Gu Zhicheng smiled when he entered the door: "Brother Ziyan should have heard the news that Brother Lu Shi was honored as a Qincha?" ”
"Of course."
The corners of Shen Mi's eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles, and before he learned his intention, he would naturally sincerely express his excitement for Lu Ingot to be entrusted with a heavy task. "Earlier, he sent someone to say that he was in the Lianxiang Building outside the Yamen, and Brother Gu Shi must go with him when he arrives!"
Gu Zhicheng looked at him with an inorganic splendor on his face, but his heart sank more and more.
He didn't understand that Shen Mi looked quite clever, why he couldn't even think of the danger that he, a martial artist and Shen Yan's yellow-haired girl, could think of?
With his joy, he could also imagine how anxious Shen Mi would be if something happened to Lu Ding. At that time, he will inevitably ask to borrow Shen Guanyu's face to go up and down, so that the person behind the trick will inevitably indirectly target the Shen family, if the Shen family offends the powerful because of Lu ingot, it will really outweigh the loss!
Gu Zhicheng felt that he was really heartbroken for Shen Mi at this moment.
"What's wrong with Brother Gu Shi?"
Just when he was secretly surprised, Shen Mi, who had been looking at him for a long time, asked.
He hurriedly snorted and picked up the tea in disguise: "It's nothing!" I can't imagine that Brother Ziyan is elegant, and even the tea here is full of elegance! ”R1152
