Gu Mengping and Gongsun Yuanyou walked out of the courtyard of the study, and the sun had not yet set at this time.

There was still some snow left over from the previous days on the shady eaves, which was now turning into a curtain of water and dripping down. The orange-red sunset shines obliquely on the glazed tiles, reflecting the brilliant flow of water droplets.

A few small servants ran around outside the courtyard, stepping on small pits formed by the snow from time to time, and they seemed busy.

He hurriedly grabbed a familiar little guy and asked, "What's going on?" ”

The little guy often served Gu Weiyu when he went out, and when he saw that it was Gu Mengping, he hurriedly bowed, "If you return to the young master, the little one doesn't know what happened, and the little one only knows that the fourth master of the Xifu led the second master of the Fan family to see my master...... Afterward...... The little ones don't know. His words flickered, and he slurred when he spoke, not daring to look at Gu Mengping.

Gu Mengping understood what was going on as soon as he heard it, and he was no longer interested in asking.

Waved him away.

On the way back, he was expressionless.

Gongsun Yuan didn't know what was going on, and thought that he was bothered by Gu Xingyun's affairs, so he comforted him: "If you are worried about Xingyun's article, it is better to wait for us to invite him to come to his house or let's go to his house, three people together, it is better than him scribbling like a fly without a head." ”

Gu Mengping raised his head, and his eyes, which were originally as bright as morning stars, were gloomy, "I'm not for Xingyun, but for my father's ......" and told him about the relationship between him and Gu Weisheng.

Gongsun Yuan was a little surprised, he always thought that Gu Mengping's parents had died, leaving him and Lao Anren and Jiamu to rely on each other. Where did you think that Gu Mengping's experience would be so bumpy?

Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered what the little guy said just now.

Gu Mengping nodded, "That's really my biological father......" He also told Gu Weiyu about prohibiting people from the Fan family from entering the door.

Gongsun Yuan's face was full of pity, it was better to have such a biological father.

"Fan Chun, the son of the second master of the Fan family, offended Henan Province for beating the two masters, and Xuedao once let out a word, saying that he disrespected the teacher and the elders, and there was no word loyalty in their hearts, and such a person was unbearable......" Gu Mengping raised his head and looked out of the car curtain, only to see a round of moonlight faintly visible, thin and hanging in the east.

Gongsun Yuan pitied Gu Mengping even more, Gu Weisheng's purpose in leading Fan Erye today was probably to beg Gu Weiyu to intercede with Jiang Sixian.

Speaking of which, Fan Chun has been locked up in the government prison for nearly half a year.

How can a rich boy endure the pain in prison? It turned out that Fan Chun, who was white and chubby, is now thin into a hemp pole. But the people I look down on the most in prison are people like him, who even beat the teacher, and they don't deserve to be called human beings at all.

Fan Chun received special care in prison......

Even if the Fan family used their strength, it was just to ensure that the jailers would not harm Fan Chun.

The Fan family begged everywhere, but no one dared to speak out to protect Fan Chun. Doesn't protecting a morally corrupt person mean that he is such a person?

Seeing that the silver that was sprinkled didn't even splash out, the Fan family hit Gu Weiyu with the idea.

But how could Gu Weiyu be so easy to speak? Even if there is nothing to do, he is unwilling to have anything to do with Jiang Sixian. How could you beg Jiang Sixian for a Fan Chun?

Therefore, as soon as Gu Weisheng mentioned this matter, he didn't care that Fan Erye was also present, and he was furious.

Hearing the ins and outs of the matter, Gongsun Yuan slowly shook his head.

He knew Gu Mengping's worries, there was such an old man, and the future would only bring him disaster instead of blessing!

But Gu Weisheng is his father, and Gu Mengping can't even say a word. Even if he inherits the heir and goes out, Gu Weisheng is also his son. Even if the west room and the outer three rooms were written in black and white, it was said that Gu Mengping would never be seen again. As long as Gu Weisheng has something, Gu Mengping will never be able to get out of it.

This is the sorrow of being a son......

"If the father is not merciful, how can he ask for filial piety to the son!" Gongsun Yuan shook his head again after spitting out this sentence, although this is the case, saliva can drown people, how many people can really be ruthless?

After returning to the outer third room, after eating the meal specially left for them by Lao Anren, the two of them prepared to go to the study to read the book again.

However, at this time, Gu Mengping noticed that something was wrong with the expression on Lao Anren's face.

Since he inherited the heir to the outer three rooms, Lao An people are very happy every day as if they were celebrating the New Year, and they have never shown a sad face.

He didn't ask directly, but went to the porter to find Nymber. Ning Bo has been in the third room for nearly thirty years, waiting for three generations of masters, and there is nothing in the family that he does not know.

When Ning Bo heard him ask, he hesitated with a smile on his face: "Brother Ping, Lao An is not allowed to mention this matter to Brother Ping." ”

Gu Mengping didn't speak, just looked at him quietly, his eyes like a deep pool.

Ning Bo was defeated, glanced at the backyard and said: "After my brother left today, the shopkeeper in the city came to pay the annual account, and the old slave listened to it a few times, as if it was saying that this year's business is sluggish, and there are a lot of deficits......"

Gu Mengping's brows furrowed slightly, and he was secretly suspicious in his heart.

After coming to the third room, Lao An told him all the family background. There are 80 acres of land outside the city, because Lao An is kind-hearted, and often reduces the rent of tenants in disaster years, and in addition to paying taxes, it is only enough for the family to chew on themselves. Although there were more 50 acres of land in the outer nine houses later, the harvest will not be until next year.

All the expenses of the outer three rooms are provided by a pen and ink shop in Runing Mansion.

This shop was erected when Gu Ligong was alive in the past, because the father and son of the outer three rooms are all lifters, and the business of the pen and ink shop is very good, and there are often scholars and classmates who go to the party. Lao An had already told Gu Mengping not to worry about the family's economy, although the family did not have a lot of money, it was not poor.

Although he had never seen the shopkeeper, Lao An highly respected him, saying that he was a good hand at doing business. The pen and ink shop was handed over to him for nearly ten years, and he never let the master worry about it......

Why did you suddenly lose money?

After thinking about it for a while, Gu Mengping guessed the reason.

Now there is no man who can take charge of the third room, although Lao An has a fate, but he is just an old woman in a deep house. If you don't take advantage of it now, do you have to wait for Gu Mengping to ask about the business of the store when he grows up?

Thinking of the reason, I already have a plan in my heart.

After returning to the study, he walked to Gongsun Yuan's side, "I want to borrow from Brother Yuan, I don't know if it's possible?" ”

There are a total of five people around Gongsun Yuan, and the two brothers who are waiting for them are not far from Gongsun Yuan. His 'cousin' Gongsun Dechang returned to the capital a few days ago and has not returned until now. Now the only ones who remain by his side are the chef Ren Biao, the horseman Yu Sihe and Ji Le.

Hearing that Gu Mengping wanted to borrow someone, Gongsun Yuan said: "Is one enough?" Do you want to go to the storm, and the brothers will go too? ”

"One is enough, it's just a little thing." Gu Mengping talked about his suspicions.

Gongsun Yuan's eyebrows raised slightly, he had lived in the palace for many years, and he had never experienced the world, and when he heard such a betrayal of the lord at first glance, he couldn't help but be interested.

"Otherwise, how about we go with Yu Sihe tomorrow to investigate?"
