Chapter 42: Light and Dark

Gu Xi pushed Gu Jin back to Ming'an Palace, and the two did not enter the house and sat under the porch.

Gu Jin looked at the pomegranate trees in the yard that had burst out of their sprouts, and sighed a little, "It's spring again." ”

"I'm going out of town with my eldest brother? Spring is strong outside the city, and the spring scenery is the best time to do so. Gu Xi immediately suggested.

"What is the difference between this spring of trees and the spring of a city?" Gu Jin said with a smile.

"It's still different." Gu Xi laughed.

"Hmm. This year, I want to make up a fifth-class book, which was discussed a year ago, and I want to send people to various places to investigate and secretly visit, in case of collusion between the upper and lower levels, and the truth is not complete, you will write an excerpt when you go back, and recommend Shen Mingshu to verify this matter.

Dingkou Tiancai is the foundation of the country, and this envoy is of great use to Shen Mingshu, a great talent. ”

The corners of Gu Jin's mouth went down, and he seemed to have a trace of disdain.

"Shen Mingshu can't afford it, he won't go, how can he be willing to leave the second child, he won't take half a step!" Gu Xi simply took a sip directly.

"If you don't go to this matter, then about checking the granary, Yongping Hou will definitely have the face to say it, and Du Xiangxuan will not speak again." Gu Jin leaned back in the chair, looking very comfortable, "It's really pleasant that Shen Yun is dead." ”

Gu Xi laughed and looked at Gu Jin, "Big brother's words...... Big brother is in a good mood today. ”

"I've been in a good mood lately.

You go to the household department and talk to Sun Zhou, just say what I said, I heard that Sun Shilang is among the hundred officials, known as a know-it-all. Gu Jin smiled.

"Didn't the eldest brother say that he would let Yongping Hou make trouble for two or three months, and then mention the matter of the ministry, why now?" Gu Xi's eyebrows raised.

"Ugh." Gu Jin sighed, "Shen Yun is dead, if we don't give Yongping Hou a wake-up call, he won't know where to make trouble."

Let Sun Zhou remind him, and let Sun Zhou understand in his heart that he can know the Ministry of Officials, not from the Yongping Marquis Mansion, but from us. ”

"Okay." Gu Xi laughed.

Li Sangrou swayed under the porch, without saying a word, and sat until it was getting late.

The golden retriever followed Da Chang, in and out of the busy, the black horse fell asleep, saw Li Sangrou and he sat exactly the same as him before falling asleep, carrying a heart, tiptoeing around Li Sangrou, coming to Dachang's side, and asked carefully: "Boss, what's wrong?" Are you alright? ”

Da Chang hummed paradoxically, carried a skewer of sausages, walked four or five steps away from Li Sangrou, and asked in a sullen voice, "What are we going to eat tonight?" ”

"Huh?" Li Sangrou was stunned, sighed again, and looked at the long string of sausages in Dachang's hand, "The house is full of salted meat, salted meat, salted fish, salted chicken?" ”

"Well, the fish market, the meat market, and the vegetable market have to wait until the New Year to open."

"Stew the fried chicken and fish pieces, salted fish and preserved chicken, roast radish pieces with scallops, steam sausages, and then mix a sesame oil cabbage shreds, don't want to eat steamed buns, steamer rice."

Li Sangrou commanded simply.

"Good!" Dachang responds happily.

If the boss can still tell what to eat, then it will be no big deal.

The black horse raised his hand to say that he was here to steam the rice, and the golden retriever was busy shaving radish and cabbage, and Dachang stewed the chicken and fish first, and then soaked the scallop and cut the radish and cut the cabbage.

For half an hour, the three of Dachang came up with a big bowl of food, and after eating, Li Sangrou held a cup of tea, this time he didn't sit on the chair, sat on the steps, looked up at the moon that was still perfect for a while, and sighed.

"Dachang, how many people in this world do you say have died unjustly?"

"That's too many, too many." Dachang looked at Li Sangrou.

When the boss came back from Shanzi Tea House, something was wrong, related to the word unjust death?

"In the past, when we were in Jiangdu City, in that city, more than a dozen babies were born every day, and more than a dozen people died a day.

How many people are born and how many people die in a day? How many of them were unjustly killed?

What about the world? ”

Li Sangrou is more like talking to herself.

"When our family was in the army, the whole family died, and all the people in the village died, and they all died unjustly, but who to go to?" The black horse wiped his face.

If he hadn't been in the army, he would be a big kid who eats and drinks spicy food now!

But now he also eats and drinks spicy food!

"I don't remember my family, but I remember my sister, is my family unjustly killed?" The golden retriever poked Da Chang.

Dachang ignored him, looked at Li Sangrou and asked, "The boss was unjustly killed in the past?" ”

The dark horse and the golden retriever's eyes widened, and they looked at Li Sangrou together.

"It's not me, it's a girl who was supposed to be very happy, but died for no apparent reason." Li Sangrou sighed as she spoke.

"If the boss thinks she is wronged, let's ask for an explanation for her." Da Chang said in a muffled voice.

"I don't know if she's really wronged or fake. Let me think about it first. Li Sangrou said, stood up, and entered the house with his hands behind his back.

In the afternoon, Shen Mingqing entered the Chuifu Palace.

Concubine Shen Xian frowned and asked, "At this moment, why are you here?" ”

Shen Yun just died a few years ago, and as a niece, Shen Mingqing is also filial piety.

"Daddy asked me to come and have a look." Shen Mingqing lowered his eyes and replied, and then said: "I'll just come over to see my aunt, my wife often says that we shouldn't take care of men's affairs." ”

"Your second uncle is dead! In the future, your wife will not say such things again. Concubine Shen Xian motioned for Shen Mingqing to sit next to her.

Shen Mingqing sighed low and didn't speak.

"Are Rui and Sakura alright?" Concubine Shen Xian looked at Shen Mingqing and asked.

"The second aunt is sick, Ah Rui moved to the second aunt's courtyard to wait closely, I took Ah Ying to live with me, during the day, if it's okay, I'll go to the second aunt and talk to her, it's all right." Shen Mingqing replied tactfully.

"Ah Rui and Ah Ying are still young, your second aunt is pitiful, alas."

Concubine Shen Xian looked sad and was silent for a long time, her voice sighing depressed and sad.

"Although your second uncle was not born to your mother-in-law, he was born to be hugged to your mother-in-law, and he grew up with your mother-in-law, what is the difference between this and her own birth? How could she be so ruthless and push him to death? ”

"Brother Yi passed under the name of the second uncle, A-Niang once asked the mother-in-law if she wanted to hand over the daily life and upbringing of the brother-in-law to the second aunt, A-Niang said, the kindness is greater than the kindness, let the second aunt take care of the brother-in-law, and in the future, the brother-in-law can also be more filial to the second aunt.

The wife said: I didn't give birth to myself, and I can't raise my own flesh and blood. Shen Mingqing lowered his eyes and said in a low voice.

Concubine Shen Xian's face was slightly pale, and after a moment, she sighed: "Don't talk about this, on the sixth day of the new year, the uncle's birthday, is it still lively?" ”

"Same as in previous years. Year after year, just looking at Mingshu is long, but I don't see him long. Shen Mingqing subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, "It's rare for the prince to be happy, Ning He,"

Speaking of Ning He, Shen Mingqing subconsciously looked around.

Concubine Shen Xian loves Princess Ning He the most, and Princess Ning He also loves to play in this Chuifu Palace the most.

"She went into the garden and said she was looking for some sprouts." Concubine Shen Xian smiled clearly.

Shen Mingqing also laughed, and continued: "She still tried her best to talk to Mr. Wen, but Mr. Wen still ignored her."

The second cousin is still a little mud from east to west. Every year. ”

"If it's different every year, something big will happen." Concubine Shen Xian listened intently and said with a smile.

"Not really." Shen Mingqing laughed.

The two gossiped for a while, and Concubine Shen Xian said: "You go back, how about others, that's someone else, you take care of yourself."

Go back and give me a word for your second aunt, if you think that the Hou Mansion is full of things and people, move to the outside of the city, your Hou Mansion has two or three Zhuangzi outside the city. ”

Concubine Shen Xian's words paused, and then said: "If you don't feel good, then you can see where the scenery is good, where you like, you can go there, or buy or rent, you can do it, I will pay for the silver, and this matter will be handed over to you." ”

"Auntie, rest assured. If you need silver, I'll just ask my father to use it, and the family is not short of this bit of silver. purchased Zhuangzi and put it in the name of the second aunt. Shen Mingqing hurriedly got up and agreed.

"You're a good boy." Concubine Shen Xian patted Shen Mingqing gently.
