Chapter 431: There will be shade in the house of goodness
tightened the door, Qin Siyue (Long Xi) took advantage of Mei Jun's still existence, and only taught Gu Kui to accompany her brother-in-law, and she and Gu Changbai (Mo Kun) changed their plain clothes and went to the Li Mansion to worship.
Usually encountering such things, Qin Siyue (Long Xi) most likely sent Gu Kui to do it for her, but this time, in order to express her sincerity to Concubine Li Shu, she had no choice but to go out in person.
Li Jiang Li Qiu Li Dong bluffed to meet the car, all the guests to both sides to avoid, Qin Siyue (Long Xi) looked at it, all the princes and princes have a long history of coming, and there is no main person to come, after burning incense to answer the ceremony, he went to the inner house to tell Mrs. Li, the confidant of the princess and the relatives of the family still knelt down to greet him.
Princess Chaoyun is notoriously difficult to mess with: the assassin can block it, the tartar can kill it, the prince can beat it, and the prince can scold it. It is said that these "majestic" second-tier masters, even if the backers behind them are in person, and they must pay attention to Qin Siyue (Long Xi)'s face, not to mention them.
The clever one also has a layer of hidden worries: although the son of the Li family died at the hands of the Gu family's minions, I heard that it was only Gu Hou...... Gu Bo's second son's brother has nothing to do with Princess Chaoyun's husband and wife, but Gu Yin, as his father, is the head of the raider, because the Li family was demoted, but it was the interests of Gu Changbai (Mokun) who were infringed...... In the future, it will be the heir of the long house.
After comforting Mrs. Li with a few words, Qin Siyue (Long Xi) held the Buddha beads and asked Mrs. Li: "Listen to Concubine Shuniang, there is still a pair of lost children in the house, can you come and see it?"
Mrs. Li Er was busy with the maid: "Bring my brother and sister!"
After a while, the two children who were filial piety came hand in hand from the nursing mother, kneeling on the carpet and kowtowing to Qin Siyue (Long Xi).
"Hurry, help up!" Qin Siyue (Long Xi) was busy with Xia Lian, "Hold it up and I'll take a look." ”
The mourning hall was cold, the sisters and brothers had no blood, Qin Siyue (Long Xi) sighed, and sighed to Mrs. Li: "I had the intention to make up for it, and I worshiped the two children, but I was afraid that they would be sensible in the future, or because they would admit hatred and be a mother, but they would make the children embarrassed. ”
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Li family were frightened and pleaded guilty, and the stewards got up and promised: "Obey the Chitose fatwa!"
"I married the Shenlong General's Mansion as a wife and daughter-in-law, two layers of in-laws on the top of my head, and gave birth to four sons and one daughter, from this moment on, all the Shenlong General's Mansion will treat my children and daughters, and how should I treat the sons and daughters of the Li family, Gu Kui and Zhucheng have, the Li family's sons and daughters should not be without, Rongguo Taijun and Mrs. Rong Enbo have, and the old lady and the second wife of the Li family should not be without!" After saying this, Qin Siyue (Long Xi) took out a list from his sleeve and put it on the table, "Gu Kui's monthly example, There are a total of four hundred and twenty taels of silver in a year, plus the building, it is about eight hundred and fifty taels, and in twenty years, a total of 17,000 taels, I will pay the second wife to collect this silver first, and in the future, the silver of the young lady out of the cabinet and the employment of the son's wife are all mine!"
"Chitose is serious!" the Li family's mother-in-law hurriedly saluted, "How dare the courtiers!"
Qin Siyue (Long Xi) explained: "I am not bullying the Li family with power and money, but if I can't do my best, it will be difficult to redeem my conscience." ”
The housekeeper sent by Princess Kang persuaded: "Li Gongzi's young man is unlucky, which is not expected by the world, the princess is merciful, if the palace does not want to receive the reward, there is a suspicion of resentment." ”
Mrs. Li couldn't, so she had to hold it with both hands and hand it to her second daughter-in-law.
Qin Siyue (Long Xi) said again: "Our old lady and the old man and the wife also have two hundred and forty taels of money a year, and this silver is given to the old lady, the old lady and the second master and the second wife for pocket use, but if the fourth old man is alive, I dare not reduce it!"
Everyone knows that Princess Chaoyun has the good intention of breaking the wealth and avoiding injustice, in the final analysis, she was the victim of this murder, if she doesn't want to give face, she is annoyed that she can't protect her and ask the Li family for the crime of killing her heir, and at that time, even if the Li family is full of withering, it is not wronged, it is to praise Qin Siyue (Longxi) benevolence and righteousness.
Gu Changbai (Mokun) and his wife put on a full posture, and the Li family accepted it if they wanted to see it, and it was natural to shake hands and talk happily.
Li Jiang really breathed a sigh of relief: "Since the princess said this, we are unreasonable, tomorrow I will come to the door with your brother to worship, and in the future, I will often call the two children to the princess's mansion to say hello, and thank Chitose for taking care of the virtue!"
Li Qiu disagreed: "Even if there is no gap, why do you need to say thanks? Jian'er died in the hands of their family, how can the bitter master have a reason to return to the enemy?"
Li Jiang shook his head slightly: "Don't you want to think about it, the second lady of the Shenlong General's Mansion will marry the Zongwang Mansion as the concubine in the next month, no matter what the reason, the Gu family is being punished at the moment, which face is it?
"That's what Father said!" Li Dong stood up, "Ming'er, I'll accompany you to the Shenlong General's Mansion to answer the salute." ”
Besides, Qin Siyue (Long Xi) returned to the Shenlong General's Mansion and returned today's punishment to her mother-in-law, Mrs. Zhang was very pleased: "You did not do a bad job, 17,000 taels of silver asked Lian'er to take the body and pay it back, and the two of them added the interest of the family property at the beginning and end of the year, which is about enough for 1,000 taels of silver, I just hope that he will have some lessons, and it will be good to give you less trouble as a brother and sister-in-law in the future." ”
"It's all flesh and blood of the family, where does the wife's words come from!" Qin Siyue (Long Xi) said against his heart.
The next day, the father and son of the Li family really came to the door to return the gift, and the two sides said to each other, and when they were on the table to serve tea, Gu Chong entered the house and replied: "Grandpa, uncle, the ancestral hall has been prepared!"
Gu Yin nodded, and explained to Li Jiang: "There is an important incident in the clan today, and there needs to be a virtuous senior citizen to observe the ceremony, if the old man does not abandon the Gu family's name, please ask the virtuous father and son to be a witness." ”
Li Jiang was a little confused: "How dare the lower officials!"
Gu Changbai (Mo Kun) bowed: "Boss, please!"
The father and son of the Li family were as if they had been tied up, and taught Gu Yin's children and grandchildren to flatter and sit in the ancestral hall of the Zhenguo Mansion.
But it is said that Jinling Gu Taigong made a career in the late Ming Dynasty, and can be regarded as a county of the field house, and then got four sons, the eldest son is the father of Ning Rong's second duke, Gu Gong, this branch is the most prosperous, from the generation, now there are a total of 448 rooms of population, all of them live in the capital, the remaining three, there are also 12 house heirs, they are staying in Jinling, now in addition to Gu Jing, Gu Feng, Gu Qiang, Gu Peng, a few people, including Gu Lian, who are lying on the bed in Beijing, the eight rooms of the men are all waiting in the ancestral hall.
Although Gu Chong's seniority is low, he is a serious grandson of the eldest house and the next patriarch of the rightful name.
Gu Yin looked at the head of the person and pointed to Li Jiang who was a guest: "This is the biological father of Concubine Shu, the former waiter of the Ministry of Rites, Mr. Li, I have something to announce today, I ask the old man to make a certificate, you have seen it!"
The clansmen made their own moves, and Li Jiang returned the salute before taking a seat.
"In addition to the eldest lord and Feng'er, who can't go out of retreat and release Shandong's Qiang'er Emperor's order, the people in the eight rooms in Beijing have only the children in the middle of the month. Gu Yin sighed with emotion, "Thinking of me Ning Rong's second father, who would have thought that the Gu family would be prosperous today!"
Gu Chong stood up and arched his hand: "Grandfather, grandfather, uncle, grandfather and father pass on the words, everything that the grandfather says today is their meaning, and the elders need to be clear." ”
Everyone said: "Although the lord commands, I will obey all orders!"
"You have heard about Kaifeng, forgiven by the saints, and there are old men Li complaining with virtue, I, the Marquis of Rong En, who is not strict in governing the family, has only been reduced to an earl, although this is the case, after all, I am ashamed of my ancestors, and I ask my ancestors for my sins today, and the people of the good sect can learn from them!" After the words were finished, Gu Yin kowtowed to the image of the second duke, got up and said, "I should have punished myself with a cane, but today there is an explanation on the side, so I will pay 10,000 yuan in silver, and add sacrificial fields to the clan, thinking that it is the heart of atonement!"
The people of the clan were relieved: "The eldest lord is serious, this matter is rude to the minions outside, and it has nothing to do with you!"
"There are no rules. Gu Yin turned around and signaled, "Please be punished!"
Gu Kui held the sword in both hands and leaned over to serve his grandfather.
Even the Li family's father and son, up and down were all stunned.
"Jinling Gu's bathing emperor's grace, although the family is established with military merits, but with poetry and etiquette, since the princess married, hairpin official yarn, expensive in the current dynasty, we should have been on Zuo Mingjun, under the people, not to live up to the Son ......of Heaven, worthy of the ancestors, but the tree is three or three multiplying, the clan is uneven, self-dividing the good and the bad, that is, because of this, Fang has a disaster" Speaking of this, Gu Yin took the sword into his hand, "This sword is called 'warding off evil spirits', and it is obtained by the Duke of Xianning on the battlefield, The sword given by Emperor Mengtaizu was first sent to protect the country, and the uncle went to Tibet, and the sword was given to him by the uncle of the country;
Gu Yi praised: "This is a family heirloom!"
"That's good!" Gu Yin presented the sword on the sacrificial table, "Today I will use the glory of the Gu family to establish family rules, from now on, if there is any lawlessness in the Gu family, it should be fined and severed, and it is necessary to cut the abdomen and cut it off, and use evil spirits as a clear basis!"
As soon as this remark came out, the people of all the tribes talked endlessly.
Gu Changbai (Mo Kun) shouted: "If you have any objections, you can say it clearly!"
Dai Confucianism took the lead in expressing his position: "This is the right reason! The house of goodness must have a residual shade, and the ancients said, 'Don't take evil as a small thing, don't take good as a small thing', and the ancestors opened a long causeway, and must not be bored by tiny ants. ”
No matter how dare the people of the tribe talk more, they all spoke out in agreement.
Gu Chong immediately announced the clan rules, Gu Yin's father and son took the lead in signing the charge, and even Li Jiang, who was sitting in the guest, pressed his handprint.
Qin Siyue (Long Xi) is very supportive of rectifying the family's behavior, and specially told Xia Lian: "Catch a piece of money with your heart, and you must teach them to know how powerful!"
Xia Lian agreed, and Dong Meifu asked again: "Master, the Qi Mansion has been taken care of, and the outside will reply, do you want to add some more utensils?"
Qin Siyue (Long Xi) nodded: "The Qi family will come to the capital at the end of May? Don't shorten the ice supply, and the ready-to-wear cloth for the change of seasons should also be added." ”
Chunlan slapped Qin Siyue (Long Xi) on the back and said, "You still have to raise your spirits, and the second lady should discuss the ceremony from next month." ”
"Woman!" Qin Siyue (Long Xi) smiled bitterly, "When can I live for myself?"
Gu Changbai (Mo Kun), who entered the door, heard this, turned around and touched the top of Gu Mao's head: "Did you hear it?"
The maids all laughed and withdrew.
Qin Siyue (Long Xi) asked, "What about Kui'er and the two little ones?"
"I asked Kui'er to accompany my wife, and Ming'er, Ying'er and Bin'er went to Dongfu. Gu Changbai (Mo Kun) picked a chair and sat down, "Do you have anything to eat, it's really tiring to toss for a day!"
Qin Siyue (Long Xi) replied: "Stewed mountain duck soup, let's eat." ”
The Gu family has more family rules, regardless of whether it is a show or a long-term plan, at least the emperor is satisfied, and Gu Changbai (Mokun) and Qin Siyue (Long Xi) of the top beam are all there, and the punishment of a demotion and dismissal has not taught the Shenlong General's Mansion to hurt his muscles and bones, plus the big wedding in front of him, which one dares to have a little contempt?
