Chapter 118: The Trouble That Ensues
It was already the fourth watch, but Kou Lian Shawu had not fallen asleep, sitting alone in the courtyard, looking at the bright moon in the sky, stunned.
I don't know when Kou Liansha has become accustomed to sitting in the courtyard, waiting for Guo Dan to go home, if Guo Dan doesn't come back, she will be unable to sleep.
In fact, in the past, Guo Dan often drank until late at night before coming back, but at that time, Kou Liansha only asked at most the next morning, and it was usually Kou Yi who was looking at Guo Dan.
There was a creaking sound, and the courtyard door slowly opened.
"Husband, you're back."
Kou Liansha immediately stood up, but seeing Guo Dan standing motionless outside the courtyard gate, she couldn't help but feel that her heart was about to rise to her throat, so she hurriedly stepped forward: "Husband, how are you... Yes---! ”
While speaking, Guo Dan suddenly hugged her, causing her to exclaim.
Before Kou Liansha could react, she heard Guo Dan whimper, "Madam... Woooooooooo ”
Guo Dan had just come out of the palace, if something happened, it would not be a trivial matter, and Kou Liansha couldn't care about being hugged tightly by Guo Dan, so he hurriedly said: "Husband, what's wrong?" ”
"Husband, I almost can't have a baby with you." Guo Dan's arm couldn't help but add a little more strength, thinking to himself, Madame's body is so fragrant and soft.
"Huh?"
Kou Zhuansha looked confused when she heard this, "Husband, what happened, you can make it clear, is there an accident at the canonization ceremony?" ”
"No, it's not."
Guo Dan shook his head and said, "Yes... It was too successful. ”
"Too successful? In that case, why are you ...... husband? ”
"It's just a bit too much to be successful." Guo Dan choked up and said: "Your Majesty likes me very, very much, and almost let him stay in the palace as a eunuch." ”
As a eunuch?
Kou Liansha couldn't help but think of a Guo Dan dressed as a eunuch.
It's such a good fit!
"Poof---!
Kou Liansha couldn't hold back for a moment and laughed out loud.
I heard you right! Guo Dan raised his head, looked at Kou Zhuan Sha and said, "Madam, are you laughing?" You're actually laughing? ”
"No... No. Kou Liansha pursed her lips tightly, shook her head slightly, and suddenly found that she was still being held by Guo Dan, usually Guo Dan hugged her waist and held hands at most, but she had never hugged her like this, so she quickly broke free, and her stunning face was already red and transparent.
"You're obviously laughing, do you want me to be a eunuch." Guo Dan looked at Kou Zhuansha very depressedly.
"No, I didn't laugh. Burst---! ”
When it came to eunuchs, Kou Liansha couldn't help it, covering her lips with long sleeves, and her beautiful eyes were full of smiles.
"Madam, this is a very serious question, I want to tell my father-in-law, his old man has to faint in fright, this is after the two families of Guo Kou are going to be killed."
"I don't know if you're true or not?"
Kou Zhuansha slanted at Guo Dan, obviously a little unconvinced.
"Really?"
Guo Dan took Kou Liansha's hand again and said, "Sit down, I'll tell you." ”
He took Kou Zhuan Sha and sat down in the courtyard, and then told Kou Zhuan Sha what had happened.
Of course, it's for the sake of the water, oh no, for the sake of the story, and it's understandable that it can't avoid adding oil and vinegar.
"Madam, don't you know, Your Majesty looked at me at that time, it was really more ...... than looking at the imperial concubine You know, I now feel like I can hide from the first year of junior high school, but I can't hide from the fifteenth. ”
At this point, he held Kou Liansha's plain hand tightly with both hands, and said seriously: "Madam, this is not afraid of 10,000, just in case, in case I go to the palace one day, I may become an incomplete man, let's hurry up and strive to conceive this year, so that even if I go to be a eunuch, I have no worries....... ”
Kou Liansha suddenly withdrew her hand suddenly, and at the same time gave Guo Dan a roll of the eyes.
It turns out that after going around for a long time, you just hit this idea again.
Guo Dan pursed his lips and said aggrievedly: "Why does Madame's eyes make me feel that I am making a very excessive request." ”
Dead Hole!
It's a dead end!
In fact, Kou Zhuansha herself doesn't know what she thinks, because she has been very independent since she was a child, and she has no habit of attachment, so she doesn't have the idea of marrying a husband and following her husband, after all, she relied on herself for everything before, but she met the fate of her parents again, so although she has been married for several years, she still maintains the reserve of a girl, because she has never regarded Guo Dan as her husband, but now she feels that she should take on the responsibility of a wife.
This ambivalence made her not know where to go.
So, she had no choice but to pretend to be an ostrich again.
Inaudible.
I couldn't hear anything.
"Hehe... Ha ha.... ”
Looking at the ostriche-dressing Kou Liansha, Guo Dan leaned back, fell on the recliner, and laughed.
In fact, he is just talking, although he is not the kind of single-minded good man, but he thinks that this kind of thing still depends on the feeling of two people at that moment, this feeling, it will naturally come naturally, obviously the time has not yet come, in this case, it is better to go to the gym to exercise waist strength.
Kou Liansha glanced at him shyly and angrily, and said, "Don't laugh happily now, I think our trouble has just begun." ”
Guo smiled lightly, nodded, and said with emotion: "Madam is right, this trouble has just begun, and it may be much more than I imagined." ”
Kou Lian Shao's eyebrows frowned slightly, and his face was sad, without a trace of joy.
And the reason is precisely because the banquet was held very successfully, because it also indicates that their cooperation with the emperor is on the verge of ending, and the reason why they were able to work smoothly during this period is because Guo Dan is working for the emperor, and now that it has ended, this troublesome thing will naturally follow......
It's not hard to predict.
After a while, Kou Zhuansha asked, "Does that husband have a way to deal with it?" ”
"Absolutely."
"What?"
"Hold on to Your Majesty's thigh and don't let go." Guo Dan said with a serious face.
......
......
Following!
Guo Dan, as usual, took Kou Liansha's hand and came to the front yard to greet Kou Shouxin, and Kou Liansha was also used to being held by Guo Dan at home, and now it looks more natural, not as stiff and awkward as before.
Kou Shouxin saw it in his eyes, and he was also happy in his heart, in fact, he also knew that the couple did not sleep together, but now he believed that it was only a matter of time.
The husband and wife, supporting Kou Shouxin, walked in the courtyard, listening to Guo Dan tell the story of last night's ceremony, which can also be described as happy.
After that, Guo Dan went to the tooth store to have a look, and then returned to the house to reconcile with Kou Zhuansha, because in the past few days, Guo Dan had been busy in the palace, and Kou Zhuansha was in charge of the affairs of the tooth shop, and he really didn't know how much money he had donated.
"A total of three hundred and twenty-two thousand eight hundred taels."
Kou Zhuansha handed the calculated accounts to Guo Dan, "Husband, take a look." ”
"Oh." Guo Dan took it, looked at it carefully, then nodded, and smiled at Kou Zhuansha: "It's really thanks to Madame these days." ”
"That's what I'm supposed to do." Kou Zhuansha was accustomed to the speed at which Guo Dan checked the accounts, and asked in a low voice, "But I don't know how my husband plans to swallow the more than 300,000 taels?" ”
When she said this, she was really shocked, such a huge number, and it was the emperor's, but it was very scary to use the word "swallow".
But she can't help it, this may be the only way to let the Kou family worry.
"Greed."
"Greedy?"
"Hmm."
Guo Dan nodded slightly, and was about to explain, when Kou Yi suddenly entered the house, "Uncle, eldest lady, the prime minister is here." ”
Guo Dan hurriedly got up, only to see Zhang Cheng walking in with two little eunuchs, of course he wouldn't wait until after the briefing to come in.
"Guo Dan has seen the inner phase."
Guo Dan and his wife hurriedly bowed.
Zhang Cheng nodded and asked, "Guo Dan, can you settle the accounts for those donations?" ”
Guo Dan said: "It's just calculated." ”
"It just so happens that Your Majesty sent our family to summon you to the palace to inquire about this matter."
"So fast?" Having said that, a flash of joy flashed in Guo Dan's eyes.
"It's not good, it's been a while since this money was left in your house." Zhang Cheng waved his hand lightly and said, "Hurry up and prepare, let's enter the palace with our family." ”
"Yes."
Kou Liansha hurriedly took the account and handed it to Guo Dan, but her eyes were full of worry.
If this silver is taken away, then the Kou family will be very dangerous.
Guo Dan said in a low voice: "Do you regret not agreeing to me last night?" ”
"Promise what?"
As soon as the words came out, Kou Liansha came to her senses, and immediately glared at her angrily, and said, "Go quickly." ”
Guo Dan sighed aggrievedly.
After such a distraction, Kou Liansha relaxed and showed a light smile, "Come back early." ”
Guo Dan nodded, gave her a reassuring look, and then walked out the door, and when he passed by Kou Yi, he suddenly whispered: "You go to Chen Fangyuan immediately and tell him that you can start." ”
......
Palace.
"The grass people knock to see Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live."
While Guo Dan saluted, he secretly glanced at Zhang Whale standing next to him, saw a strange light flashing in his eyes, and said secretly, thank you!
"Hurry up and excuse me."
Wanli raised his hand slightly, and after Guo Dan got up, he said: "I mentioned the accounts to you last night, I don't know if you can calculate it now?" ”
It seems that this boss is really not good to serve! Guo Dan sighed with emotion in his heart, what he asked last night, he will want it today, there is no doubt that this will be a black-hearted boss in the future, nodded and said: "If you go back to Your Majesty, it has already been calculated, and please ask Your Majesty to take a look." He held the account in both hands.
Zhang Whale immediately stepped forward, took the account away, and then presented it to Wanli with both hands.
Wanli just looked at it slightly, and then said, "You miscalculated." ”
Wow! Faced with the amount of 300,000 taels, he turned out to be Gujing Bubo, it seems that he had quietly sent someone to count it last night. Guo Dan pondered to himself, but said: "Your Majesty, the grass people may do something wrong, but the accounts of the grass people in the hands of the grass people cannot be wrong, and the grass people are very confident." ”
"Really?"
Wanli said: "I see how there is a shortage of 10,000 taels." ”
"Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible." Guo Dan said immediately.
"Are you sure?"
"The grass people are pretty sure."
"Good!"
Wanli nodded, and glanced at Zhang Whale again.
Zhang Whale immediately shouted, "Lift it up." ”
Zhang Cheng on the side frowned, looked at Zhang Whale suspiciously, and then glanced at Guo Dan, with worry in his eyes.
Guo Dan also glanced at him secretly, thinking, it seems that he doesn't know! In other words, he didn't breathe out of the same nostril as Zhang Whale, which is good.
Soon, I saw two big men walking in with a big wooden box and putting them next to Guo Dan.
"Open!"
The smile on Wanli's face faded.
"Yes."
The wooden box was opened, and it was full of white silver.
Wanli looked at Guo Dan expressionlessly and said, "Do you know this silver?" ”
Guo Dan took a closer look and said, "This silver looks almost the same, it's not very bearable, but... But this wooden box looks a little familiar. ”
"Bold pariahs, now that people have obtained stolen goods, you still dare to quibble here, this wooden box is yours."
Zhang Whale stood up and pointed at Guo Dan and reprimanded.
"Huh? When the Overseer said this, this wooden box really looks like my home. Guo Dan couldn't help but touch the wooden box.
Wanli suddenly looked angry, slapped the table, pointed at Guo Dan and said: "Okay, you Guo Dan, I believe in you with all my might, and I am in charge of everything, but you are full of private pockets, you are really disappointed." ”
He loves money like life, and if you embezzle his money, that is to cut his flesh, although he is fat, but... But it hurts, too.
Guo Dan looked at Wanli with a stunned face and said, "Why did Your Majesty say that?" The grass people are not very clear now, if this wooden box is really grass people's, why it appeared here with His Majesty. ”
