The eldest lady gave Gu Shenghua eye medicine and said, "If the master doesn't want to see her head, don't you let her come to the main house?" ”

"Don't let her come to the main house?"

"That's right, you face the head of the curse person every day, how many years will it take to live a short life, and Huizhu is indeed too ignorant. In addition to not allowing her to come to the main house, you can also punish her for thinking that she is sixteen years old and should learn to take responsibility for what she does. ”

"Looking at the way she looks tonight, I don't feel like I'm at fault at all."

The eldest lady thought about it for a while, and then proposed: "Doesn't the lord think that her short hair is unlucky, why don't you let her copy Buddhist scriptures in the ancestral hall to pray for the blessings of her family?" ”

"That's a good idea." Gu Shenghua felt that the eldest lady's proposal was very reliable, "You're right, she cut it anyway, let her copy the Buddhist scriptures to block the bad luck she brings, and from tomorrow, I don't want to see her anymore." ”

Seeing that the goal was successfully achieved, the eldest lady turned her eyes slightly, secretly showing a triumphant smile, but her face looked respectfully obedient to orders: "Don't worry, master, I will arrange it." ”

***************************

Gu Huizhu's father, Gu Shenghua, is now working as an errand in the salt yamen.

Back then, he was so poor that he almost had to eat, so he riveted his strength to take the Baguwen exam. But before he could take the test, the previous dynasty was over. For the poor people, the examination is the only way for them to make a fortune. Gu Shenghua saw this Avenue of Stars disappear, and he didn't know where to go.

Gu Huizhu's mother had a clear mind, she didn't have time to grieve the previous dynasty, she made all her dowry in the ocean as quickly as possible, and gave gifts to the officials of the new government. Not to mention, her luck was not bad, and she soon let her husband get into the salt yamen.

In order to obtain the government's salt quotation (a certificate that allowed salt merchants to sell salt), the salt merchants worked hard to curry favor with the people in the yamen, giving gold and silver, and gradually, the salt yamen, which had no political rights, became a fat department. If the errand man receives 60 yuan a month from the yamen to maintain a basic standard of living, then the gray income is enough to make this group of salt officials have enough food and clothing. Therefore, although Gu Shenghua's position is not high, he has a lot of money.

After he became an official, he gradually got carried away in the face of the temptation of money and beauty. He received the gold, silver and jewels sent by the salt merchants. Throwing his arms to the beauty, he is so happy. He has long forgotten how his wife has been with him through thick and thin, and how she has supported him to this day.

Seeing one by one aunts and wives coming into the door, Gu Huizhu's mother was very dead to Gu Shenghua. All her thoughts were given to her only daughter. It's a pity that because she had a daughter in her later years and was an advanced maternal age, after giving birth to Gu Huizhu, her body was weak and she didn't take proper care of it, and she died within a few years.

As for Gu Shenghua, he thought that with money, he would be able to become a master. But he didn't expect that after being a salt official for so many years, although his savings have become more and more abundant, he is still looked down upon because he has no power in his hands. That's when he realized how important status was, and his quest for status reached its peak. Besides, although he is a person with both children and daughters, and has a stable income, he does not have to worry about food and clothing. But people have no long-term worries, there must be near-term worries, this is a troubled time, no one knows what will happen tomorrow, just like sitting in the crater, maybe when the volcano will erupt, especially insecure.

So he pondered which high branch to climb, to find himself another good errand, or if something really happened one day, he would have a backstage. The Overseer's Mansion was Gu Shenghua's best choice. Which of his daughters he wanted to marry into the Overseer's House, even if it was an aunt's wife.
