Chapter 218: Singing
Chapter 218 begins to sing
"Is it really that serious?" Old Madam Pingyang Hou asked solemnly.
Pingyang Hou nodded, although the piece of music that had been copied out due to personal relations had been burned, but the words were imprinted in his heart, as long as he thought about it, he couldn't help but palpitate.
On that thin piece of paper, the words were like knives, and the sound was stirring, and the trivial matter of the battle of wills of the lord of Baiyu County had completely become a great rebellion against the discipline under his pen.
“…… All of them were suspected by the lord of Baiyu County of being involved in the attack on Lord Zhu by thieves and bandits, and the government did not investigate, and suspected of bribery and misdeeds, so he was indignant and questioned his sister....As the noble daughter of the Marquis of Pingyang, the prince and concubine appointed by the Holy Monarch, she should correct herself and educate the virtuous ladies in the world, but for her own selfish interests, she believed in hearsay, and fought for a while, and acted on behalf of the court to enforce the law, bullied the court to select a show girl, and insulted the innocent court of the Gu family, so why? ....The minister wrote a book, the Marquis of Pingyang or the book to defend himself, tried his best to shirk himself, reversed right and wrong, confused the saint to listen to the words, or closed the door, disdained to disdain to disdain the recital, the shame of the expression was lost, Tian was not strange, and the idea of corrupting the discipline was ruined....The minister was angry because of the sibling affection, but he did not dare to avoid accommodating because of the matter involving his own body, whether it was appropriate, the emperor begged for the holy instructions...."
"He's slandering and exaggerating" The old lady listened to her son's description, although she was just a woman in the house, but she also heard the anger of Jin Ge's iron horse breaking through the river, slandering the king, and listening to the saint, the old lady who had such a big hat was buttoned up, and she was pampered all her life, and even the emperor gave a little face.
"It's not slander...."Pingyang Hou shook his head, "He didn't use an exaggerated word, and he didn't avoid the fact that he was angry because of the humiliation of his relatives, but he just described this matter word by word in this way, touching His Majesty's taboo, mother, although the emperor's heart is unpredictable....."
But after decades, I have learned a little about His Majesty and them, and it is impossible to guess in a simple sentence.
Emperor Longqing ascended the throne as a prince for many years, first fought with the first emperor for more than ten years, and finally won by virtue of his age, and before he sat down for a few days, he encountered Dajin going south, and even the country was lost after fighting for several years.
When Zhu Chunming was there, he took the emperor first everywhere, and took speculation of the holy will as the highest criterion, and was actually thought by the emperor to be the most loyal and least guessing the holy will of the courtiers, and finally covered the sky with one hand, and ran rampant, and now Zhu Chunming was stabbed, the emperor became more and more suspicious, and this suspicion always came inexplicably, any challenge to the imperial power, the behavior of controlling the government will be magnified, as the saying goes, the speaker has no intention of listening to the heart, the consequences of the emperor's suspicion are very terrible.
Pingyang Hou looked at the old lady and whispered, "Mother....he is stirring up His Majesty's suspicions....."
The old lady stopped talking, obviously he also knew that if he aroused His Majesty's suspicions, there would be consequences, so many examples were placed there.
"How can it be so serious...", she said slowly in a low tone, but she also somewhat agreed with her son's opinion in her heart.
"No matter whether it is so serious or not, we can't take this risk, we must let this case stop here, and we must not let Dali Temple deliberate...," Pingyang Hou said.
"I see, don't you just give in, go ahead." The old lady was a little depressed, but she also nodded and waved her hand, "Count that girl lucky...."
"Did you really sue them to Dali Temple?" Gu Bainiang looked at Gu Yu in front of her, and her face could not hide her surprise.
Gu Yu withdrew his gaze from the white porcelain vase on the table, turned around and smiled.
"Oh, although I slapped her in the face, it didn't have a good effect on you, but...."He smiled slightly, "There is no win-win situation in this world, and it's normal to suffer a little loss when you're angry, my sister won't blame me, right?" No mistakes, not a lot of words"
"Of course not...."Gu Banniang shook her head, the impact of her reputation didn't matter to her at all, she got up and saluted, "Thank you cousin this time....."
Gu Yu smiled and did not speak.
Gu Bainiang didn't speak again, but bowed deeply again.
"You're welcome, it's too vain to say thank you...."Gu Yu said with a faint smile, while taking out a piece of paper from his sleeve, "Here are some tonic pills, ten copies each." ”
Gu Banniang took it and saw that there were ten kinds of densely written on it, and all of them were precious Chinese medicines, not for that kind of disease, but for nourishing and nourishing the body, which was very popular among high-ranking officials and nobles.
Gu Bainiang looked at him with a smile.
"What? Can't afford it? Gu Yu raised his eyebrows slightly.
"I can afford it...."Gu Banniang smiled, shaking the paper in her hand, "However, this raw material..."
"The raw materials are also from you..."Gu Yu replied.
Gu Bainiang couldn't help but have a look of pain on her face, any of the raw materials here can't be taken without a hundred taels of silver....
"I'm going to pawn the house," she muttered, putting away the paper, and after a moment of hesitation, she said, "That's it...."
"Oh? Are you scared of that? Gu Yu asked with a smile, his eyes turned on Gu Bainiang's face, and said with a bit of teasing, "Or, are you worried about me, afraid of affecting my future?" ”
Gu Bainiang smiled, looked at him and suddenly asked, "Xiaoyu, for?" ”
"Why?" Gu Yu sighed and looked at her with a smile.
Gu Bainiang smiled and shook her head, "No." ”
Gu Yu laughed and nodded at her.
"Then I'll ask you," he said, "what you said that day, what were you really saying?" ”
"Which day?" Gu Banniang smiled, "Words? ”
"Do you think it's not worth it for me to put myself on the hook for those who have hurt you...."Gu Yu looked at her and smiled faintly, "Or for you to become the regeneration benefactor of the He clan for yourself.....
"Do you believe what I said is true and what I say is false?" No mistakes, no word skipping. Gu Bainiang pursed her lips and smiled.
"I don't believe it." Gu Yu smiled and shook his head.
"So...," Gu Bainiang got up and poured him tea again, held it and handed it to him, and said with a smile, "It's true or false, let's see the result." ”
"So, the result I want is already there, and the rest is up to you..."Gu Yu took it with a smile, drank it all, and then stuffed the teacup into her hand, "Farewell...."
Seeing him Shi Ran go out, Gu Bainiang called him again.
"Thank you for being there that day.," she pursed her lips, giving a deep salute once more.
At that time, all the accumulated emotions collapsed, what was the use of all the efforts in the past, in this world, over a high mountain, there is always another mountain overcoming, endlessly one mountain higher than a mountain, she was disappointed, sad, helpless and dazed, at that moment she even thought, what is the benefit of such a life?
Then the man suddenly appeared, and in a mocking word, he handed his hand over.
Gu Yu's footsteps didn't stop, he just waved his hand, stepped out of the threshold, walked to the courtyard and suddenly stopped, turned around and strode back, his face became a little heavy.
"But you want to stay and eat?" Gu Banniang asked with a wink.
"Gu Eighteen" Gu Yu stood in front of her, looked at her condescendingly, and asked through gritted teeth, "Are you saying that you have no money?" ”
Gu Bainiang was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, Fang Cheng complained when she heard that the raw materials of those medicines had to be bought by herself, in fact, she really didn't complain, she really didn't have money, she had no money for a long time....
"You stinky girl...."Gu Yudai was empowered, only this point was suddenly revealed, he figured out everything in that paragraph, he gritted his teeth and said, looking at the smiling girl in front of him who showed white and thin teeth, he felt that it was useless to say it, so he raised his head and nodded heavily on her forehead...
"It hurts," Gu Bainiang frowned and stretched out her hand to cover her forehead.
"Those medicines, add ten more copies to each of them" Gu Yu squeezed out this sentence from between his teeth, and raised his hand to poke her forehead again, "Now, immediately, immediately, immediately"
"Yes, yes...."Gu Bainiang helped him almost poke his severed head, replied repeatedly, watching Gu Yu stride away, and hurriedly greeted, "Let's have a meal, coarse tea and light rice, don't dislike it...."
Gu Yu shook his fist at her with his back on his back, bypassed the shadow back flower wall and disappeared.
Sending Gu Yu away, the smile on Gu Bainiang's face gradually faded, she slowly walked to the door, took a deep breath of cool air, and cleared her mind a little.
Gu Yu's words had already been revealed to her, and he handed the fold to Dali Temple, and what he had to do was done. Although the person who plays chess continues, it has nothing to do with him where the next move is played. Whether the scene in Pingyang Houfu will continue to be sung or end here is her own business.
When the night was deep, Cao Shi came over with a little girl, and outside the courtyard gate, he saw the lights on in Gu Bainiang's room, and Cao Shi stopped looking at the thin figure cast on the window.
"Ma'am?" The little girl asked, holding the tea soup in her hand.
"Go back, don't disturb Miss...."Cao said in a low voice.
"But Madame has done this..."The little girl was a little puzzled.
"Let's go, I'll eat this tea soup..."Cao Shi said in a low voice, "I eat strong, good, better than all...."
Her voice seemed to be laughing, and it seemed to be crying, and she couldn't see clearly under the dim little lantern in the night, the little girl sighed, didn't ask more, and followed Cao's turn and walked away.
The night passed quickly.
"Miss, Miss, Pingyang Hou Mansion sent someone"
A girl hurried to report with a little panic.
"Are you coming?" No mistakes, no word skipping. Gu Bainiang opened the door and stepped out, "It's finally here"
A moment later, in the living room, Gu Bainiang saw a man and a woman dressed in extraordinary manner.
"I've seen Miss Gu...."Seeing Gu Banniang stepping in, the two of them hurriedly smiled and bowed down to say hello.
The attitude was much more respectful than that of the two mothers who came at that time.
Gu Bainiang nodded, her eyes fell on the large and small gift boxes in the room, and a smile appeared on her lips.
"Miss Gu, we are here to frighten Miss on the orders of the old lady..."The chubby woman bowed down with a smile and said.
"Are you here to suppress the shock?" Gu Bainiang first stretched out her hand to help Cao Shi sit down in the main seat, and she also sat down, looking at the woman and smiling, "Didn't you come to apologize?" ”
The woman's and man's faces were obviously stunned, but they had obviously been instructed when they came, and they were prepared, so they hurriedly put away their astonishment and continued to laugh.
"Yes, yes, that's what the young lady said, that's exactly what the old lady meant." The woman bowed and said.
"Since that's what it means, it's a little sincere...."Gu Banniang interrupted her words with a smile, and nodded at the gift box over there, "Shi Ke can be killed, but you can't be humiliated, are you treating me as a human being?" ”
As she spoke, her originally smiling expression gradually became fierce, "Come on, throw these things out to me, my Gu Xiang has not yet reached the point of selling his dignity in exchange for charity."
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the woman and the man changed greatly, and they glared at Gu Banniang.
