On this day, the Qin family was closing his eyes at home to recuperate, and the next person came to report that Gu Xixi had come. She probably knew what was going on, but she didn't get up to pick up Gu Xixi as usual.

Thinking of the weather outside, she now has a little hatred for iron not being steel.

At such an age, I finally got pregnant, but I didn't know how to raise the baby well, but I ran around for Bai Zhi County, and it was really the water spilled by my married daughter.

She works hard for Bai Zhi County in everything, and she is a virtuous helper to say it well, but that is also the premise that Bai Zhi County likes her. If the relationship between the two is not good, not only will he not be grateful, but he will say that she is not satisfied in the inner house and is obsessed with asking him about the affairs of the court.

Therefore, when he arrived in the back room, he saw that the Qin family was not very happy, and he was not as enthusiastic as before, and Gu Xixi suddenly understood in his heart.

Although Gu Xixi didn't know much about the twists and turns, she knew in her heart that the Qin family was for her good, so as soon as she came, she put her face on Qin's lap, and didn't speak, just rubbed it silently.

She loved it when she was a kid.

Seeing Gu Xi like this, the Qin clan couldn't get out no matter how big the fire was.

The eldest daughter has always been at odds with her, except for the New Year's holiday, she hardly communicates, and always says that she is busy, but the Qin family knows that she hates herself for disregarding her personal wishes and breaking up her fate, but marrying her to someone they think is the right person.

She felt that she was the eldest in the family, and the woman of the family was not married to the right person, so although she was wronged, she didn't say anything.

However, Gu Xixi later married Bai Zhixian, and when she got married, the other party was just a lifter, which made her very uncomfortable. When I beat Xiao Qin, I like to take care of her, and even take care of her emotions in marriage, but what about myself?

So, gradually, they rarely interacted with each other.

Seeing this, the Qin family didn't bother to explain to her, and there was a big secret involved, so she went too. Maybe, maybe when she gets old and can't walk anymore, it's not too late to tell her.

After a while, Qin sighed, and then said, "Say, what's the matter?" You, the child, are about to be mothers again, and you are still coquettish like this, and you don't know how to be ashamed. ”

As he spoke, he couldn't help but stroke her head.

Feeling the temperature coming from his head, Gu Xixi said: "What is there to be ashamed of in front of your own mother." This time, I really have something to ask you, my mother must help me. ”

"Okay, what's the matter, you say, don't be coquettish with me." As he spoke, he helped Gu Xixi up, touched her head, and helped her straighten her hair.

"You, you just can't see me idle. Hey, one day I'm going to have to tear down my old bones. ”

"Mother......"

"Alright, you say!"

Gu Xixi sat up straight and said, "Mother, my daughter wants to set up a Liqun Club." According to Ye Feng's idea, only thirty people will be absorbed this time, and 3-5 people will be absorbed every year in the future. However, according to the statistics last night, there were hundreds of people who came to apply for membership. Although some people can be excluded according to their family background, official position, family property, etc., will these thirty people be too few? Anyway, I couldn't decide on this person after racking my brains. ”

Seeing that Qin didn't speak, he said again: "Otherwise, let's absorb some more people." In this way, the money alone can raise more donations. Don't you know yet, this time you have to pay money......"

Hearing this, the Qin clan said: "The number of people can't be too large, I agree with this Ye Feng's words, thirty people are enough." You think, if everyone could come, this Liqun would not be very attractive. Besides, when it comes to family history, how many of us in Qingshan County are eligible. That is, you, for fear of offending people, can't make a decision. By me, most of them can be eliminated at once. ”

Seeing that Gu Xixi hesitated, the Qin clan did not want to continue to discuss this issue. Anyway, Gu Xixi came to ask for help, and she must have asked her to help select those thirty people.

"However, who is this Ye Feng? How I've never heard of it. ”

The Qin family has always wondered that Bai Zhixian's brain has never been bright, and he could only rely on her help this time, and he was pinched to death by her. But in a blink of an eye, she thought of such a good way, which made her very puzzled.

However, Bai Zhixian's staff, she has always been very clear that she does not have this wisdom at all, it seems that maybe these ideas are all from Ye Feng, who said it according to Gu Xixi.

If Master Gu hadn't stopped her, she would have asked a long time ago.

But Master Gu said this: "Aren't you tired? For so many years, I've been busy with this and that. In my opinion, it's better to take care of the children. ”

Thinking that this was indeed a thankless task, he listened to Master Gu's words and did not make any moves. However, now that Gu Xixi mentioned this matter herself, she pretended to ask casually, and she would not be suspicious if she wanted to deal with it.

"Ye Feng, it's just a child, but twelve or thirteen years old, living in Chenjia Village. Their village is now under construction and is vigorously developing. The next activities are basically carried out in Chenjia Village. ”

Gu Xixi had no scheming, and in a few words, he explained Ye Feng's affairs and the situation.

This time it was Qin's turn to be surprised, "What, Ye Feng is just a child?" In her eyes, this Ye Feng is at least an adult, otherwise how could there be such an idea of not offending people and making merits.

It seems that she has to investigate this child carefully, not a peer sent to harm Bai Zhi County. This matter is strange everywhere, where is such a good person, and such a great credit is given in vain.

Bai Zhixian and Gu cherish the letter, but she doesn't believe it.

However, in order not to let her daughter worry about it and affect the fetus, Qin gently shifted the topic to the Liqun Society. As for that Ye Feng, she will find someone to investigate.

As long as it's not a palace secret, there's nothing she can't investigate.

Thinking of this, Qin Shi said: "These thirty candidates are actually not so difficult to determine. You sort them by family history, and list those who are from noble families first. Then, people in their families who were officials in Qingshan County or officials in the imperial court were elected. Finally, choose some of those families who have no officials but are extremely wealthy, and focus on those with good reputations. ”

Seeing Gu Xixi's headache, Qin said, "In this way, you bring the list here, let's take a look at it together." Don't you need money? The last few people must be rich and noble. By the way, don't be so stingy. If you take a little bit of silver, it hurts, and it won't be used. ”

Speaking of which, according to the Qin family's previous temperament, I want to criticize Gu Xi for a few words. But thinking of her special situation, I endured it.

She urinated and taught Gu to cherish people, and she also took her with her when she should socialize, in order to socialize and socialize, and not suffer losses in the future. I don't know if it's because I can't remember people by nature or if I'm not interested at all, and I forget it in a blink of an eye.

After so many years, she can't remember a few people. To say that this Qingshan County is so big, from east to west, from south to north, there are only those families.

Fortunately, their Gu family is also a famous family, so if you can't remember it, you can't remember it, someone will always come to talk about it.

Looking at these lists, Qin's mood suddenly improved. Speaking of which, the people on these lists are all well-known people in Qingshan County, who are either rich or expensive, and they are all people who are not short of silver.

The reason why I am so eager to join this Liqun Club is because I don't want to be abandoned by high society. A lot of times that's the case, for these people, face is more important than silver.

She sorted out the list with Gu Xixi like this, which is equivalent to giving Gu Xixi a new lesson. Coupled with her eagerness to help, I think I can remember some of it.

It is better to learn voluntarily than to be forced to indoctrinate it.

Maybe it was because he realized his own shortcomings, and saw that Qin Shi explained very patiently and learned very seriously, which made Qin Shi quite pleased.

The Qin family really started from the origin of the family and how many officials were in the court, citing scriptures and classics, and the head was the Tao, Gu Xixi found it for the first time that it was not so difficult to remember these relationships, on the contrary, it was quite interesting.

I only blame myself for being ignorant before, and I was too high-minded.

In the end, with the help of the Qin family, the hundreds of applicants were roughly divided into three categories, one was from several major families, and this category had the least, but only three or five people. These people don't need to be investigated, just pass the test directly.

The second category is the official wife, but it is divided into two categories, that is, whether there are people who are officials in the court, and the score scored by the Qin clan based on their overall strength, and twenty-two people are selected from high to low.

Seeing this, this made Gu Xixi sweat, after all, there are many people in this category, it can be seen that in the eyes of the Qin family, only twenty-two people were selected. Why is she stuck? It's stuck here.

As for the third type of people, they are the wives from the family of merchants, and the characteristic of this type is that they are rich, and the applicant's family is not rich, and the one who has a lot of money is terrible. Although there are many in this category, it is also the best choice, and five of them are directly selected for their good reputation and wealth.

Looking at this final candidate, Gu Xixi thought about it carefully, and this is indeed the case. These selected people are either rich or expensive, and no matter who stands up alone, those who are not selected have nothing to say.

The strength of the people is there.

"However, if these applicants are unsuccessful, will they be unhappy?" Gu Xixi asked worriedly. People originally wanted to do charity, but now they are told that they don't have this opportunity.

Anyone will be unhappy if they change.

Hearing this, Qin said: "Whether others are happy or not is not something we can decide, after all, the rules are here, otherwise it will be chaotic." According to you, if everyone comes, then you are happy? I don't think so. ”

"That's right. If everybody comes, the best ones will be unhappy. ”

"That's the truth. However, you're right. In this way, we can give hope to those who are not elected, for example, to get the word out that we will have the first Radish meeting in the near future, when all members will vote for one more person to join us. At the same time, this time next year, we will have one more person to join......"

Gu Xixi was surprised: "It's only one person a year." ”

"yes, what a lot! The first few years were fine, but in a few years, it won't be a vegetable market! And if you think about it, every year someone leaves Qingshan County, as long as someone leaves, we can release the quota according to the situation. As long as this Liqun will ensure the quality and have a good reputation, some people want to come in. ”

"Also, everyone's situation is changing, you have to pay attention and respond and change at any time."

After listening to Qin's analysis, Gu Xixi suddenly realized that this was indeed the truth. Now that everything is in place, just wait for Yao Wushuang's emblem to be designed, and the first Liqun meeting can be held.

"By the way, you ask that girl Wushuang to prepare more expensive jewelry and heads, the more expensive the better, and then let our shops prepare more gorgeous fabrics. I think a lot of people will be buying jewelry and clothes these days. ”

The Qin family is worthy of being a business expert, and he knows in his heart that once these selected ladies know that the first Liqun will be held soon, the first thing they will do is to buy jewelry and make clothes, after all, how can there be a woman who does not love beauty.

These ladies' family backgrounds, wealth, and official fortunes are not bad, so if they have to compare, they can only compare their children with their looks and dress.

Seeing Gu Xixi's smirk, Qin also smiled, knowing in his heart that she also understood, because he pointed at her forehead and said, "You, it's time to prepare." When my mother came out of the pavilion, I got a set of jade heads from your grandmother, which was the most emerald green, but now I can't find such good materials. This head is shining, bring it to you when the time comes, this hot day looks cool. ”

"Then thank you, mother. I, I'm too lazy to prepare, and when the time comes, I have a big belly, where can I compare to others. Although Gu Xixi was happy to be pregnant again, she always felt that she had lost a chance to be in the limelight, and she still felt a little regretful.

Qin said: "It's only been more than a month, and I can't see it at all, when the time comes, I'll make the waist of the clothes not pinched so exaggerated, and keep your beauty." ”

"Thank you, mother, you are the best." Gu Xixi said sincerely.

To be honest, because of that child, the relationship between her and the Qin family once fell to the freezing point, but she has figured it out over the years, especially since she is a mother herself, so she understands that it is not easy to be a mother.

Bai Zhi County was promoted twice, which time it didn't depend on the relationship of the Gu family, these were just the same, it was originally to help each other and benefit each other.

However, take the last time Bai Zhixian raised thin horses outside, if it wasn't for the Qin clan to find out in time and nip it in the bud, maybe she would now have a sister who doesn't know what to call it, and it is even very likely that there will be some concubines.

Thinking of the warblers and swallows at home, and even the little sins or something, she felt sick to her stomach.

This woman, she still has to rely on her mother's family at a critical moment.

Seeing this, Qin Shi hugged her and said, "Okay, don't pat your mother's ass, anyway, you know that no matter what I do, it's for your sake." ”

It's a pity that what Gu Xixi didn't see was that when the Qin family said this, his face gradually changed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Gu Xixi saw that the Qin family seemed to be a little emotional, and a little tired, so he took the opportunity to say goodbye, and at the end, Gu Xixi said: "Mother, I suddenly want to eat osmanthus cake, I will take Cuizhu to accompany me to buy it, and you can rest early." ”

As soon as Gu Xixi left, the Qin family pulled down his face.

Her eldest daughter was estranged from her, and now she finally had a good relationship with her second daughter, Bai Zhixian saw that she was about to be promoted again, and her daughter had a child again, this kind of happiness was what she had always looked forward to, and no one would be allowed to destroy it.

Not anyone, not even the kid.

It was true that he cherished the piece of meat that fell out of his stomach, but he chose the wrong time and place. If there was only one of the two options, the Qin clan would not hesitate to choose to sacrifice that child.

Another thing is that if it weren't for Shopkeeper Ye breaking with Gu Xixi before leaving, there would be no need to worry, with the Qin family's methods, he would probably not be able to come back in this life.

And that Ye Feng is full of weirdness. A teenager is born into a big family. Listening to the tone of pity, it is from the countryside. It's stupid, but it's a chapter, and the belly is full of warp and weft.

This is by no means a normal thing.

Thinking of this, Qin took out the whistle in the drawer, blew it, and then put it back again, sitting on the main seat and waiting.

Master Gu is a person who knows the destiny of heaven, or a person who is very content. Since retiring from the capital, he has been teaching his grandson and teasing his granddaughter at home every day, as if he doesn't care about anything else.

Since that's the case, let her handle it. Therefore, when I heard this whistle, I thought I didn't hear it, and I was busy with my own business.

After a while, Zhou Ying flew over the roof like an eagle and flew towards the location where the Qin clan was. Since Gu Xixi gave birth to his son, his task has become to keep an eye on the child every day, without any accidents.

"There is a child in Chenjia Village, about twelve or thirteen years old, named Ye Feng. He has already come to the county government twice, once to talk to the county magistrate, and once to talk to his wife. You go and check his origins. Remember, this kid is a fine man, and he can't be found out. The sooner the better, I'll wait for you to report it. ”

After speaking, she called Zhou's mother to come over and massage her, and today in order to make Gu Xixi happy, she really tried her best. As soon as this person gets older, he feels tired after a little hard work.

Zhou Ying saw that the Qin clan had no other orders, and disappeared in an instant.

Mother Zhou saw that Qin's trembling was terrible, and she contacted the matter she had just told Zhou Ying to investigate, and immediately had a bad association in her heart.

If that's the case, then it's a sin.

I hope that the child has no connection with this house, otherwise, this house that has been quiet for a while is afraid that it will make waves again.

Whether it was Master Gu or Gu Xixi, they would not agree with the Qin family's decision.

In Zhou Ying's investigation career, everything is going well, even if it is an old case from decades ago, as long as he is given enough time, he can investigate carefully.

However, this time, he encountered the first problem in his life.

No matter how hard he tried, the conclusion could only stay at the level of "Ye Feng is an abducted baby", as for his father, he didn't know anything.

I finally got to the Nameless Temple according to the clues, but found that the temple was empty. Of course, he got a letter, and it was in the meditation room of the Nameless Temple. It looks like I've been writing for a while.

However, he didn't dare to take it apart and look at it, so he handed it over to the Qin clan as it was. I hope this letter has everything that Mrs. Qin wants.

It's just that what Zhou Ying didn't know was that this letter was originally two letters. This time, he was in a hurry to report the results to Mrs. Qin, but he was careless and only got one of them. The other one, but it is next to it.

Listening to Zhou Ying's report, the Qin family was very dissatisfied, but they didn't embarrass Zhou Ying and let him go directly, which made Zhou Ying feel very puzzled. According to the Qin family's temperament, he has always been unstoppable, and he will never give up.

Therefore, no matter how difficult the task was in the past, with the help and persecution of the Qin family, he completed it.

But this time, how could the Qin clan be so abnormal?

What he didn't know was that the Qin clan actually hoped that Zhou Ying would be able to stop here.

Although Zhou Ying wouldn't say anything, the Qin clan just didn't want him to know too much, and it was just right that things had come to this point.

As soon as Zhou Ying left, the Qin family went to the inner room alone, opened the letter and began to read it. As expected, the letter was left by the abbot of the Nameless Temple. What Qin didn't expect was that this letter was actually a letter of repentance.

In his heart, the wise monk told his crimes one by one.

It turned out that he was high-spirited back then, and felt that the master favored the younger brother, and he was obviously very capable, but he failed to inherit the mantle of the master. In a fit of rage, he left the capital and came to Qingshan County.

It's just that he didn't stop along the way, first stealing a baby in the suburbs of Beijing, stealing one when passing through Qingshui Town, and finally, stealing one in the suburbs of Qingshan County, and taking them to live in the Nameless Temple.

In doing so, he wanted to prove that no matter what kind of child he came from, no matter what his aptitude, if he was willing to give a different education, then that child would become the person he wanted, whether it could be a master, a thief or a beggar, or an official.

So, he deliberately treated one of the children well, ignored one of them, and cruel to the other. Teach one of the thieves the ideas, teach the other the theories of Buddhism, and teach another the way of being an official.

Half a year later, one night Master fell asleep and told him that he had sinned a great sinner. And said that his actions were enough to send him to hell. It's just that there is a way out when you turn back. With a wave of his hand, all the white apricot blossoms in front of the Nameless Temple turned golden.

He woke up from his dream and no longer dared to abuse the three children. But from then on, we will ignore it and let it develop.

The second half of the letter is the basic message of the three children. Of course, he didn't admit that he had exchanged tokens back then. And this matter was explained in another letter.

Reading this, Qin Shi felt that she was a little afraid to look at it, because she always had a bad premonition in her heart.

When she made up her mind to look down, she saw that the information of the third child was Ye Feng. According to these clues, the Qin clan immediately matched this information with the child back then.

It's over, it's over, it's wrong.

Qin's hands trembled uncontrollably, and his emotions were on the verge of getting out of control.

Why, after more than ten years, why is this child so haunted and entangled?

No, this matter must not be known to Gu Xixi, let alone Bai Zhixian, otherwise the sky will fall.

Now it seems that this child held the so-called national family search conference, and no matter what other purpose, but the most important purpose is definitely to help him find his father.

From this point of view, Ye Feng still doesn't know his life experience.

However, as time goes by, Gu Xixi's information will definitely be discovered by Ye Feng, what should he do when the time comes?

Is there any way to make Ye Feng not climb up and take care of it?

The only way to let him die. Only the dead do not speak.

Thinking of this, the Qin clan began to tremble in pain.

If she wants her to kill her own grandson, she really doesn't want to.

However, for the sake of cherishing happiness, she must make a decision.

After thinking about it, the Qin clan still decided to sacrifice Ye Feng. Although this is also her own grandson and eldest grandson, it is not worth mentioning at all compared to Gu Xixi's happiness.

In the past ten years, she has never seen this child except when she was born. However, I can see it almost every day. Cheng Huan's knees have always been cherished, and her current child has never been Ye Feng.

She doesn't need it either.

Thinking of this, Qin's face was a little distorted, and she took out the whistle again and put it in her mouth.
