The mansion of Runing Mansion is solemn and solemn, quiet and profound, with a total of more than 30 buildings. Enter the instrument gate and follow the central axis all the way to the north, pass through the lobby and the second hall, and then walk to the third hall. The high wall of the government is a double hall, the building is magnificent, and the corridor is connected.

The group was led by the housekeeper and walked for a while before they came to the hanging flower door of the third hall. Santang, also known as "Yan Si Tang", is a resting place for the prefect and his relatives, and it is also the inner courtyard of the government, so outsiders are not allowed to enter.

For the arrival of Gu Mengping's family, Jiang Sixian and Kong reported their enthusiasm and joy. Kong Shi was first shocked when he saw Yingsleeve, and then he fell in love with this innocent and romantic little girl.

It has been almost six years since they came to Runing Mansion, and they have not returned to the capital once in the past six years, let alone seen the children.

When I left Beijing, the children were only a little older than Yingsleeve, and five years had passed in a blink of an eye.

I don't know if I've lost weight, and I don't know how much I've grown......

As a parent, how can you not miss it?

Gu Mengping came with Ying Sleeve, which was in line with Kong's thoughts. When Kong knew that Yingsleeve was picked up by the old monk from nowhere, he pitied her for having no father and no mother.

In less than a moment, he had already held his sleeves in his arms and screamed non-stop.

Kong's dignified and graceful, graceful and elegant, elegant and generous manners, Gu Mengping rarely saw her so moved.

On the second day, Jiang Sixian led officials at all levels to the suburbs to arrange spring cattle, and Kong entertained Gu Mengping and his party in the inner house, accompanied by a handsome young man.

This young man was about thirteen or fourteen years old, and he was born with beautiful eyebrows, a pair of clear eyes, but his demeanor was a little domineering, as if he was looking at people with a pair of nostrils. The Kong family did not introduce who he was, but only used his own child to call him, Gu Mengping guessed that this person might be a junior of the Jiang family or the Kong family.

The old monk was too old to endure the noise, so Kong only invited two female servants to come to the inner house to sing songs, and a blind master sat next to him playing the three strings. sang the "Four Songs of Fanzhu" adapted by Emperor Xiao Yan of Liangwu, and the old monk was very happy and listened to it with relish.

Gongsun Yuan was unusual, just sitting there and setting up the scenery.

I don't know why, that handsome young man looks at Gongsun Yuan from time to time. One look, his face darkened a little......

"I heard that your couplet was taken away seven times during the Chinese New Year, and in the end you only wrote the couplet in a fit of anger, I don't know if there is such a thing?" Kong asked Gu Mengping in a low voice.

Gu Mengping's face flushed slightly, and he told the events of that day, "...... In the end, Qing Jing was really angry, so he wrote a bamboo, an orchid and a stone and asked Ning Bo to hang it outside the door......"

"What about the next link?" Kong is also a talented woman full of poetry and books, and when she heard the upper link, she had faintly guessed the lower link, and when she heard that it was indeed what she guessed in her heart, she smiled knowingly, "These students, there should indeed be someone to govern the ......" Between the words, he was extremely dissatisfied with the students of this house.

Gu Mengping didn't dare to reply to this sentence, and stood in front of Kong with his hands tied.

Kong Shi seemed to have just complained a few words, and turned his head and talked to Lao Anren about Mengmozhai, "Why didn't you tell me about your family's affairs earlier?" If you talk about it, will you be bullied by a shopkeeper? I heard from the butler that he didn't know how much silver he had taken from Mengmo Zhai over the years...... How did you deal with it so lightly? It's just a matter of letting him still lose money? ”

Lao Anren smiled slightly, but comforted Kong's family, "After the incident, the shopkeeper Zhang knelt down and pleaded with me, and I saw that although he was evil, he was very afraid of being known, so I knew that he still had a good heart." After receiving this lesson, I think I should also understand the truth of being a human being. The money and things are not his, after all, they are not his, even if they are forced, there will be a day when they will be returned to others...... If it could turn the wicked to good, would it not be better than punishing the wicked? Others repay grievances with directness, repay virtue with virtue, and I repay grievances with virtue. ”

Kong's head was slightly bowed, thoughtful.

Lao Anren said: "The weather is cold this year, and this snow has fallen several times, and I don't know if I can have a good year this year......

As soon as she said this, Kong's expression became solemn.

As for the situation in Runing Mansion, she knows better than Lao Anren. This winter's snowfall will not only collapse houses in several counties, but also this year's harvest.

This wax moon and the first month, life is not easy! I also pinned my hopes on tomorrow's whip spring cattle, so that the people can see a glimmer of hope for a bumper harvest.

If the people have hope, they will not cause trouble for the local officials.

"My grandson has already begun to contact the wealthy families in the city, and after the spring cattle are whipped, we will see if we can raise some silver taels and buy some green seedlings." Kong sighed.

Gu Mengping raised his eyes and looked at Kong's place.

He knew that some landlords and businessmen took advantage of the handover of winter and spring to buy the green seedlings in the peasants' fields at a bargaining price, and the crops would be owned by them when they were ripe. There are also people who take advantage of the green seedlings to lend usury and make huge profits from it. And the buying of green seedlings that Kong said is similar to putting green seedlings.

It's just that one is bought at a conscience price, and the other is bought at a black-hearted price.

Lao An people also sighed and recited the Buddha, "In this way, the people also have some way to live." If Taishou agrees with those rich people, he will send someone to inform us, and then the old man will be with him. We don't have much money, just a few dozen taels of silver. ”

Kong was overjoyed and wanted to stand up and salute Lao Anren, but was finally pressed back by Lao Anren.

However, after all, this method treats the symptoms but not the root cause, so what if you have money in your hand? If there are no seedlings in the field, what should I do when the crops are harvested? Isn't it forbidden to sell the land to the landlord? It is better to instruct the people to plant crops that can satisfy their stomachs than to buy green seedlings. There were many crops that could satisfy his stomach, and he could name several at will.

Gu Mengping frowned, and his body moved.

At this moment, the old monk suddenly turned around, and pointed to the female singer who was singing the tune, "I'm tired of listening, let's go down!" ”

Gu Mengping's eyes fell, and he stood there motionless.

The old monk was originally a guest, and it was extremely rude to say this suddenly, but Kong just smiled and asked the ladies to retreat, and did not say anything.

The handsome young man looked at the old monk and looked dissatisfied.

Seeing that it was already noon, Kong ordered people to set up a banquet. The banquet is simple and elegant, all of them are vegetarian meals, and the wine is also the rice wine brewed by Kong's own family.

Gu Mengping asked Gongsun Yuan to sit on his left, but Gongsun Yuan looked embarrassed and couldn't refuse.

"Brother Yuan, how old are you and me, you should sit on the head of the younger brother......"

Before Gu Mengping's words were finished, he heard the handsome young man scream 'ah', "Far away? You bastard bastard whore, it's really you! ”

As soon as this voice came out, the hall was stunned.

Jia Mu's face changed drastically, and he looked at Gongsun Yuan fiercely.

Hearing the word thief, Kong couldn't help but be horrified, hurriedly walked up to the handsome young man, and scolded loudly: "What nonsense are you talking about? Why don't you apologize quickly, what do you know at such a young age...... Ahem...... Don't go back yet? ”

The handsome young man seemed to be mad with anger, and he didn't talk to Kong at all, but just blindly pointed at Gongsun Yuan, "You say, on April 28, did you gallop with your servants on the official road?" Then when you passed by the Huimin Bridge, you did not restrain at all, and as a result, you ...... me My sister squeezed into the river from the carriage ......" At this point, tears welled up in the handsome young man's eyes, "You can squeeze it!" What to run back to save? Who is rare for you to save? Who wants you to save? Do you know if men and women give or receive kisses? Did you know? ”

The handsome young man cried as he spoke, crying until the pear blossoms brought rain.

Gongsun Yuan smiled bitterly, waved his hands, and couldn't say a word, "Girl...... Brother Tai ...... I...... I'm sorry for you...... Never save again next time......"

"What do you say? Do you dare not save me? I knew you were a black-hearted thief! Believe it or not, I'll kill you today and do the right thing for heaven? ”

Gu Mengping's heart was put back in his stomach.

Kong's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

People who have lived for several lifetimes are lost in one day today.
