According to the Chen family, she should also know seven or eight points. Now it's very uncertain.

Gu Jinchao hesitated for a moment and instructed Cao Ziheng: "You secretly investigate...... Let's see if my father and Master Chen are involved, or if there is a relationship we don't know about. ”

Cao Ziheng was stunned: "What the eldest lady said about Lord Chen is ......"

Jin Chao spit out a few words lightly: "Chen Yanyun, the head of the household." ”

Cao Ziheng's face became solemn, and he hurriedly bowed and left.

After lunch, Gu Erye and his father took a carriage to the capital to meet the Hou Ye of Changxing.

The sixth lady of the Fan family of Dingguo Gong came over accompanied by her grandmother, and she was going to prepare to be a praiser for Gu Lian. Feng arranged Yu Mingying and Miss Fan Liu in the guest room, and sent a second-class girl beside him to wait.

The next day, people who congratulated Gu Lian came one after another, and no one knew that the Gu family was about to have a huge disaster. Even Feng didn't know that she was still discussing with the second lady that she wanted to invite the troupe of the Deyin Club to come over and sing for a few days. The house was full of joy, and Gu Lian was pulled by Feng Shi to see this wife, that young lady, who was so busy that her feet did not touch the ground.

Jin Chao didn't like to join in the excitement, and she didn't want to drill in front of people at this time, if it wasn't for Feng Shi calling her, she wouldn't even want to take a step out of Yan Xiutang.

In the afternoon, Mrs. Yao came over, and all the ladies and relatives were called to the East Cross Courtyard to greet Mrs. Yao. The Jin Dynasty took Qingpu and Caifu to the east across the courtyard, Mrs. Yao is now the wife of Yao Ping, a scholar of Wenhuadian University, Yao Wenxiu is her second son, this pity and courtesy, she has to come anyway.

Feng and Mrs. Yao spoke at the banquet. Jin Chao just walked outside the banquet place, and saw a group of strange girls and grandmothers standing outside, wearing ten kinds of brocade printed winter jackets, or plain brocade winter jackets. The earlobes are adorned with tiny gold and silver cloves. The grandmothers wore sandalwood armor and finger-wide red gold bracelets on their wrists. The expressions on his faces were faint, and no one looked at them.

This should be the servant woman brought by Madame Yao.

Gu Jinchao glanced at it and walked to the banquet place. He saluted Feng first, and Feng called her to sit down. I didn't care about talking to Jin Chao. Smiled and said to the woman who was drinking tea: "...... When it comes to drinking tea, I prefer to soak in water with pine nut preserves, which is light and refreshing."

Only then did Jin Chao look at the woman sitting in the guest seat, who was in her thirties, wearing a lake blue five-bat holding a silk gown, wearing a South China Sea bead hoop, and a gold cage earring. He is white and plump, and has an extraordinary temperament. It's just that the eyes are slender. The cheekbones are a few points higher and do not look approachable.

Mrs. Yao smiled and said, "Drinking too much tea is also hurting, and the old lady soaks it in water with candied fruit, which is also good." ”

Feng asked the girl to make tea with pine nut candied fruit for Mrs. Yao, but Mrs. Yao took it and put it aside, and asked Feng: "Old lady, I've been sitting here for a long time, why didn't you come to see my poor sister." ”

Feng said: "Don't be surprised by Mrs. Yao, she went to talk to Miss Fan Family, and I sent someone to shout." I'll come back later. ”

Feng couldn't help but feel that Gu Lian didn't know the severity, and other people couldn't slow down. Mrs. Yao will be her mother-in-law in the future, and it will not be good if she falls in front of her mother-in-law. Can you have a good life if you marry in the future? Looking at Mrs. Yao is not a simple one, she is a three-grade lady, and she is full of dignity. It was she who could say a few words to Mrs. Yao. Second Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Yao are serious in-laws, and they can only sit on the cold bench next to them and drink tea.

Hearing the girl say through the curtain that the second lady was coming, Feng Shi was relieved.

Gu Lian and Gu Lan came in together, both of them were carefully dressed, and after bending down and saluting, Feng asked Gu Lian to go over and speak. Mrs. Yao's gaze turned to Gu Lian before she smiled and said, "Sister Lian'er is very good-looking." The last time I saw you, you were still like a little bean dice......"

Gu Lian replied with a smile: "You saw me last time. When I was 10 years old. ”

This is Yao Wenxiu's mother, and she has to face it with a very good attitude. Gu Lian then bent down again. "Sister Lian'er thought that she had to be cautious when she saw you, so she went back to the house to change her clothes, so it's late, don't be angry with me."

Mrs. Yao smiled and didn't say anything, and after a while, she was accompanied by the second lady and went to the guest room to stay. Feng Shi laughed until Mrs. Yao left, and then glared at Gu Lian: "...... What's the matter if you don't change your clothes! You're too ignorant! ”

Fortunately, Mrs. Yao didn't care.

Gu Lian pouted aggrievedly: "Don't you know, Sister Lan and I went to play with Miss Fan Jialiu, and I happened to see Yu Mingying also there, saying how valuable her bracelet of red tourmaline was, and saying that the makeup and gowns I was wearing were all washed and worn, and they didn't look good at all!" I thought I was going to see Mrs. Yao, so I went back and changed my clothes. If you don't believe it, just ask Sister Lan! ”

Gu Lan was about to speak, but Feng Shi glanced at him coldly, and Feng Shi went on to say Gu Lian: "In this way, she can say it, but you can't say it." How much is a bracelet of red tourmaline worth, you can hear her! "Fortunately, the young ladies and girls of the Gu family are all here, so that others will listen to it, and they will think that Gu is a popular family and Yu Mingying's things.

Feng Shi said to Gu Lan again: "You are still a cousin, you don't know how to pity your cousin, you don't know the severity!" It was time to rush her over. ”

Gu Lan bit his lip, but felt very aggrieved in his heart. Feng Shi is angry, what does Gu Lian want to do, where is the reason why she can stop it. Can this be said to her?

Jin Chao secretly thought to the side, Yu Mingying is not too big, her strings of red tourmaline bracelets are clear and round, all of them are the size of fingernails, which is very rare. She also has a string of one hundred and eight tourmaline bracelets, but they are the more common yellow tourmalines, which are not as valuable as Yu Mingying's.

Feng Shi said a few more words before he said, "Forget it, I'm too lazy to talk about you." But Yu Mingying is here to be your praiser, and you have to talk to others tomorrow. She looked at all the granddaughters present, and her eyes fell on Gu Jinchao, the other concubines were not enough, but Gu Jinchao understood things best, and she immediately instructed Gu Jinchao, "Sister Chao, tomorrow you accompany your cousin to see Miss Yu San." You are a sensible person, and your grandmother can trust you and say good things...... Let Miss Yu San and Sister Lian'er ease up. ”

Jin Chao thought that tomorrow his father would come back......

She stood up and said yes.

Gu Erye and Gu Dezhao handed over the name post, and waited in the hall for a while before waiting for the Marquis of Changxing to come out. After listening to what they said, Chang Xinghou frowned and thought for a long time, and asked people to invite the old marquis to come over and discuss together.

After hearing this, the old marquis asked Gu Dezhao: "...... How much grain was mobilized for this relief? ”

Gu Dezhao thought about it and replied: "Five batches will be sent out successively, a total of 120,000 stones." Today, the grain in the granary adds up to only 90,000 stones. ”

The old marquis thought for a long time before he said: "Our Changxing Houjia is now in obscurity, and I will let Ye Liang endure it and avoid its edge." If I help you this time, our Ye family will definitely face Zhang Shoufu head-on......"

Gu Erye's face turned pale when he heard this, and he hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Old Marquis, we also understand these things. If it weren't for the fact that there was really no way, and I wouldn't have asked you to come here, if you didn't care about it, our Gu family would really be desperate......"

The old marquis said lightly: "I didn't say no. It's just that how to help this, we have to come up with a charter......"

The Gu family is naturally regarded as a faction of the Ye family in the eyes of others, if the Changxing Hou family allows the Gu family to fall, what will the other forces that depend on the existence of the Ye family think, won't they give birth to the idea of falling apart?

He turned sideways and asked Chang Xinghou: "What about Ye Yuan?" Why haven't I seen him in the past few days? ”

Changxing Hou shook his head and said: "Don't ask him, now in Dali Temple all day long, his mother wants him to go to meet Master He's young lady first, but he can't find anyone......" Ye Liang has been acting strangely recently, and he has found a lot of new Jinshi lists from the Hanlin Academy and the Six Ministries, saying that he wants to pick a good one to Changxing Houjia as a staff, will the two Jinshi be his staff! Besides, these new Jinshi who entered Hanlin and Liubu Guanzheng are not suitable to be staff members, and they simply don't know what he is doing.

If Ye is limited here, he may be able to come up with a way to deal with this matter.

The old marquis sighed: "Don't interfere in this matter, he is busy with a lot of things now......"

The vacancy in the granary cannot be filled, and although the relationship between Changxing Houjia and the Qianhu Battalion and the Fifth Military Battalion is good, it is impossible to open the guard warehouse to replenish the grain in the warehouse. And the movement is a little too loud. If this Sun Shitao can be found, then it's okay to say. But now people must be controlled by Zhang Julian's people. Changxing Houye asked Gu Dezhao: "Is this registration document only one of your hand?" ”

Gu Dezhao smiled bitterly: "If it was really only this one in my hand, it would be much easier to do." He only needs to destroy the documents and clean up the few warehouse envoys, but in fact these documents will be recorded in the register and handed over to the household department. That is to say, once someone comes to transport grain and finds that there is a problem with the grain in the warehouse, he can be taken down immediately, and then the documents recorded by the household department can find out that he gave the order, and the Dali Temple and the Metropolitan Procuratorate can judge his guilt and report it to the cabinet, and as long as he is in the cabinet, he has no room for maneuver.

The old marquis continued: "As long as Sun Shitao doesn't show up, you can put most of the responsibility on him. Changxing Houjia can intervene in the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple. I'm afraid that this group of people will neither release Sun Shitao nor let him really disappear......" The old marquis looked at Gu Dezhao solemnly, "You understand what I mean, if Sun Shitao appears in the end, but he commits suicide, no one can save you." And it's very likely. ”

Gu Dezhao's face turned pale, if Sun Shitao died, it would be suicide in fear of sin. And all the blame will be borne by him, if Sun Shitao does not die, the Changxing Houjia can still interfere in Dali Temple and the Ducha Yuan...... But what they can think of, people can't think of?
