Gu Dezhao's carriage left the Gu family and headed towards the elm alley where the chief of the si Yu was located. The snow was several inches thick, and the road was covered with ice, making it very difficult to walk. When I arrived at Yushu Hutong, I found that the black lacquered gate of the Sun family, which occupies half of the alley, was closed, and the two red gauze lanterns hung on the finches were constantly blown by the north wind. Gu Dezhao got out of the carriage and took a look, and found that the stone steps at the door were not cleared of snow.

He personally stepped forward and buckled the copper ring of the unicorn beast's mouth.

It was a long time before the door creaked open. A head poked out of it, it was an old man with a wrinkled face, he looked Gu Dezhao up and down with a cautious and wary gaze, and saw that Gu Dezhao was wearing a flannel cloth and silk hexagram, and then asked in a relaxed voice: "Who are you looking for?" ”

Gu Dezhao frowned and asked him, "Is your Master Sun at home?" ”

When the old man heard this, he said impatiently: "No, the master has gone out and hasn't come back, don't ask!" ”

He was about to close the door immediately, but was blocked by Steward Li, who was following Gu Dezhao, and said to him, "...... This is Lord Hubu Lang Zhonggu, and he has business to find your grandson. Didn't he call himself sick, you took the name post and went to talk back to him, and said that Master Gu was here. He handed over a name card to this old man, and stuffed a ingot, two taels of silver.

Lao Suo accepted the money, but returned the name post, and his tone was much better: "My little old man can't read big words, and I can't understand it." Since the person who came is an official master, the little old man will say more, our master didn't come back a few days ago, this can't be faked. I watched him go out with my own eyes and never saw him come back...... The wives and aunts in our house are not in a hurry, just close the door and live. ”

Gu Dezhao felt that this person was inexplicable, and when he heard his identity, he didn't welcome him in, but still stood at the door and blew the north wind. That's it, he can't be illiterate, is it possible that there is no one who can read in the house, what's wrong with finding someone to come out and recognize a name? This Sun Shitao said that he had been sick for several days, so how could he not be in the house.

He's not in the house, where will he go?

"You go and call the chief of the house to come out and reply." Gu Dezhao said to this old man.

Lao Suo lowered his voice: "I opened the door for you, but I didn't listen to orders." Dare to call the steward over...... The official is not an ordinary person, so let's leave quickly! After speaking, he quickly closed the door, and Gu Dezhao knocked on the door again and again.

Gu Dezhao sighed lightly, "We don't have a reason to break through, Sun Shitao may be going to the yamen, let's go to the capital to have a look......" Steward Li promised and was about to instruct the coachman, but Gu Dezhao changed his mind again, "Forget it, even if he is not in the mansion, he will not be in the yamen." Go to the granary of Song Lingfang in Daxing to have a look, he has often been going to the granary to inspect recently......"

Song Lingfang is not far from Yushu Hutong, on the boundary of Daxing and Shi'an.

The carriage then turned around and went to Song Lingfang.

She practiced calligraphy in the study for a while, and Feng Shi came to her, saying that Gu Jinhua, the lobby sister, came with her sister-in-law, and it was the third lady of the Cangzhou Yu family who wanted to be Gu Lian and praise the courtesy, and asked Jin Chao to come over to see the ceremony.

Jin Chao changed his shirt and went to the East Cross Courtyard.

Gu Jinhua gave birth to the eldest grandson of the Yu family in the autumn, and now the status of the Yu family is transcendent, if it weren't for this, it would be difficult to say whether the Yu family would agree to let the third lady come over as a praiser.

Gu Jinhua wore a rose and purple two-color gold engraved silk gown, a lake-colored clean horse-faced skirt, a pair of golden hairpins full of Jiaojiao's distractions, and a ruby the size of a fingernail inlay, which made him look very bright. Seeing Gu Jinchao coming, he smiled and pulled her to sit on the brocade next to him, and said, "...... Counting the days, I haven't seen Sister Lan for a year. ”

Feng Shi was full of joy when he saw his eldest granddaughter come back, and it was rare to be kind to everyone. Let the girl bring up a lot of refreshments. He also said: "Sister Chao is back to our house now, if you want to see her, just come back more!" ”

Feng Shi beckoned Gu Jinchao over, pulled her and introduced a girl next to her with a smile: "...... This is your sister-in-law's cousin, who is older than you, and you can follow Sister Pian to call her cousin of the Jin Dynasty. He said to Gu Jinchao again: "...... Your sister-in-law's third sister Mingying. ”

Yu Mingying wore a brocade smoky red jacquard satin jacket and a pink and white threaded skirt, she was fair-skinned and her facial features were clean and beautiful. Wearing a string of crystal clear yellow tourmaline on his wrist, the price is not cheap. She nodded and smiled at Jin Chao, and didn't say much intimate words.

Gu Jinchao sat on the brocade next to Feng, drinking tea and not speaking.

The second lady next to her looked at her eldest daughter and was very pleased. Compared with Gu Lian, Gu Jinhua really made her worry-free.

Gu Lian even sat on the Luohan bed, holding Gu Jinhua's hand and said, "I thought you would come back with my nephew!" ”

Gu Jinhua said, "Your nephew is only a few months old, and the weather is cold, so he can't go far...... If you want to see him, why don't you wait for Luli to come and go to Cangzhou with me to live for a while, and the eldest sister will take good care of you. She pinched Gu Lian's nose affectionately.

The second lady smiled: "I can't go with you!" After the ceremony, she followed me to learn housekeeping, and I'm afraid that in a few months, she will marry into the Yao family......"

Gu Jinhua's eyes lit up, and he asked Gu Lian in a low voice: "Is this really the case, the day has already been set to welcome you?" ”

Feng smiled proudly: "How can it be so fast!" The Yao family also attaches great importance to this family business, everything must be well prepared, and the day of welcoming has to wait for Sister Pian and Lu. ”

Gu Lian has a very long face, and Feng likes to boast a few words with others.

The most important thing is to say this to Yu Mingying.

Yu Mingying followed Gu Jinhua to Gu's house, and sat next to him drinking tea all the time, lukewarm. In her heart, she looked down on Gu Pian. Feng could feel that Yu Mingying was not enthusiastic, but the family was the sister-in-law of his eldest daughter-in-law, if he was not served well in the Gu family, he would go back and say a few words to Mrs. Yu about Gu Jinhua, and Gu Jinhua would have to accept it. So it's hard to say that she is dissatisfied.

Gu Jinchao glanced at the corner of his eyes, and clearly saw a smile on the corner of Yu Mingying's mouth.

Yu Mingying raised her head and said lightly: "Yao Ge has four sons, and the eldest prince was promoted to Jinshi last year, and he was promoted to Shujishi to enter Hanlin. The other three sons have not achieved anything in their careers, I think that if Sister Lian marries into the Yao family, she will still have to survive! ”

Gu Lian's family business has always been flattered by everyone, where have he heard such sharp words, he immediately glared at Yu Mingying, and said unconvinced: "They are all the sons of Yao Ge Lao, after the famous family, is it still bad!" Sister Mingying, what are you talking about! ”

Yu Mingying pouted, Yu Jia, she is the youngest concubine and the most favored one. She was willing to come to Gu's house to save face for her sister-in-law, after all, her sister-in-law usually treats her very well. She doesn't like Gu Lian's appearance, and she is spoiled without rules.

"Sister Pity thinks too much, I just say it casually." She said to Gu Jinhua, "Sister-in-law, you know that I am straightforward!" ”

Feng's face sank, and he suddenly couldn't help but have a seizure.

I haven't seen anyone dare to ridicule her precious granddaughter in front of her, and even the Yao family has ridiculed her, isn't this just laughing at her!

Gu Jinhua hurriedly smiled: "Yes, don't mind, Sister Ying, Sister Ying is what she thinks of and says." ”

Feng lowered his eyes to suppress the anger in his heart, Gu Jinhua still had to be the eldest daughter-in-law in the family, and it would not be better if Yu Mingying secretly stumbled her.

This Yu Mingying is also a tough character, and everyone Gu Lian meets will let her go, and she will suffer a loss. Gu Jinchao secretly said in her heart, she only drank tea without caring about herself, and she couldn't come to Feng Shi to find herself uncomfortable at this time.

At this time, the voice of the little girl came through the curtain outside: "...... Mrs. Tai, the third master sent someone to find Miss Tang. ”

Father looking for her? It should be to ask about the illness of the chief of the Si Yu, Jin Chao glanced at Feng.

Feng Shi nodded casually: "...... Since it is your father who is looking for you, then you go first. ”

Jin Chao made a blessing and withdrew, but saw Gu Dezhao standing in the courtyard, with snow falling on his shoulders and his face pale.

My father came to the East Cross Courtyard, but I didn't even have time to say hello to my grandmother?

Gu Jinchao's heart tightened, and he quickly stepped forward and asked, "Father, are you in a hurry?" ”

Gu Dezhao didn't know how to speak, he opened his mouth, and his voice was tight and urgent: "Sister Chao, you hurry up and find Cao Ziheng...... Daxing's granary...... Something happened in the granary! ”

He wanted to go to the granary of Song Lingfang to find Sun Shitao, but when he entered the granary, he found that there was no ghost shadow in it. Gu Dezhao felt bad in his heart, and opened a bag of grain with Steward Li to see that the sack that was supposed to contain millet was stuffed with bran!

This batch of grain was about to be transported to Shanxi for disaster relief, but there was such a mistake. If the person who comes to carry the grain in a few days lifts it, the weight will be found out soon, and he will not be able to escape responsibility at that time, even if he is not killed, dismissal and exile are inevitable!

Gu Dezhao touched more than a dozen sacks, and they were all bran. His back was soaked in cold sweat. What if something goes wrong with the food for this relief...... If you're not careful, you'll lose your head! RS
