The second more

"It's not like what you say!" The young woman hurriedly asked, Xiao Er, it is not easy to say this!

"See the smile and laugh, this is what the owner of the store said, the little one felt that he was speaking in a polite manner, and he deliberately memorized it." Xiao Er said happily.

Xiao Er in Zeng Guo's mansion rolled his eyes with a look of disdain.

"You can carry it too?" Zeng Guofan had calmed down and stared at Xiao Er in front of him, he had come all the way through the official fortune, and his brain was not bad.

"Yes! The boss asks questions, answers, and then lets the little ones memorize them. Xiao Er laughed and said in a low voice.

"Why is that?" Zeng Guofan's voice was even colder.

"Why? We're like that in every case! However, in the previous case, I would have said a few good words to the defendant, and there would always be those who turned to the lamp and the fire. However, these days, as soon as the boss inquired, none of them turned to that Lord Zeng and Yuan Brusheng, and the little two just said that they were right, there were officials talking about it here, and no one supported Lord Zeng. Xiao Er spread his hands and moved twice, which meant obviously.

"Not one?" Zeng Guofan's lips trembled, just now he thought that someone was manipulating all of this, just to bring him down.

The little second moved his hands and did not speak.

Zeng Guofan threw a few copper plates.

"Not really, not a single one. When the common people downstairs heard that Mr. Storyteller read the newspaper, they would scold him. The upstairs, whether new or old, only said that Mr. Zeng was pedantic, and Yuan was not as good as a brute. Xiao Er rolled his eyes and said that he also looked down on these two people.

"This benevolent brother thinks that he has just arrived in the capital, and if that Lord Zeng had not allowed his eldest daughter to be abused by her husband, the emperor and Niangniang would never have left him with the position of a scholar. You must know that Lord Zeng is still the representative of Qingliu, but the emperor angrily dismissed his post, but Yu Shi Lantai did not make any representations for him! There are also various newspapers in Beijing, each with its own discussion, and none of the newspapers argued for Lord Zeng? Not to mention, Zeng Daren is a peach in the world, and Vice Premier Li Hongzhang has never publicly explained to his mentor! "What they say here will naturally spread to the next door, and the man over there said busily.

Zeng Guofan didn't listen, threw the money, and left the restaurant in despair, the little two were happy, and he sent it enthusiastically behind him, and immediately let people collect the table and lead people upstairs. The case is not over, and he can make another amount of money.

Zeng Guofan himself didn't know where to go, and no one in the world thought he was right? After thinking about it, he went to his best friend's house, and after returning to Beijing, he has always been ashamed to meet people, and he is afraid that people will say that he wants to form a friend. And now he has really lost his purpose in life.

Guo Songtao was in the sixth year of Xianfeng, and he was still working in Zeng Guofan's shogunate, because his work was good, Zeng Guofan recommended him to return to Beijing, and now although the official is not big, he has great potential. But that's not the point. The point is that Zeng Guofan can't find anyone to talk to now.

Guo Songtao didn't turn Zeng Guofan away, took the newspaper, hurriedly greeted him, invited him to sit down in the study, and like Li Hongzhang, drove everyone out, and personally made tea for Li Hongzhang.

Zeng Guofan didn't realize it at Li Hongzhang's place, but when he saw Guo Songtao like this, he couldn't help frowning.

"Yunxian, why are you?"

"Let's talk about what so many people do." Guo Songtao and Zeng Guofan also studied together in Yuelu Academy, and they were also close friends there, although in the past 20 years, his career path is far less smooth than Zeng Guofan, but he has an open-minded temperament, no matter when it was not going well, or when Zeng Guofan was in a difficult situation at this time, he has always been like this to Zeng Guofan.

"So, you also think I'm wrong, like Li Hongzhang's kid, driving everyone away, saving me no face?" Zeng Guofan is so smart, he can move seven times in ten years in Daoguang and become the head of the clear stream, it is not in vain.

"Go and get my sister-in-law and the kids back, right? Don't worry, listen to me, I agree with your way of governing the family. That's what I actually teach my children. You used to be a virtuous wife and filial piety, how enviable this is, several daughters, which one is not virtuous and virtuous, if I have a son of the right age, I will definitely grab one back. However, I don't agree with Ji Jing's matter, I also persuaded you at the beginning, remember? Old man Yuan knew that his son was not a thing, and he had already told you that he wanted to withdraw from his family, but you refused. To be honest, I was mad at you. ”

Guo Songtao gently put a cup of tea in front of Zeng Guofan, he is an old friend, others say, maybe Zeng Guofan will be angry, but Guo Songtao They have known each other for more than 20 years, and they know each other very well.

"But Lao Yuan is dead, if he dies a year later, I may retire. He told me on his deathbed to withdraw from his family, not so much as to withdraw from his relatives, but to help him, he only has one son, can I let it go? Zeng Guofan raised his eyes and looked at his old friend.

"So I'm done angry, and I'm still friends with you. But what about now? I told you, Ji Jing can't tie up that beast, you can do everything you can, even if you don't let them reconcile and bring your daughter back, at least you're in a better mood, right? What to say to Ji Ze is Ji Jing's life, why is Ji Ze not allowed to help Ji Jing? ”

Zeng Guofan had nothing to say this time, he remembered the letter, Ji Ze was in his hometown at that time, and wrote to him, saying that Ji Jing was having a hard time, and he wanted to ask his father to agree to let Ji Jing go back to his hometown to recuperate for a while. But Zeng Guofan wrote a letter and sternly refused. When asked by others, he could say, 'He doesn't want to be a bad example, it was just a little couple arguing, and he can't go back when he lets his daughter go home.' But in the face of his old friend for many years, he couldn't say it, so he could only watch him quietly.

"Because you feel that this is her life, she can't live her life well, it's her own fault, but the reputation of the Zeng family is a mistake on top of a mistake, a daughter who is divorced will make you and your family lose face, and will make your proud way of governing the family be trampled underfoot. So, at this time, would you rather Ji Jing die? If he had died earlier, maybe none of this would have happened today? Guo Songtao sighed and said softly.

"When she comes back, how will the next three sisters marry? Ji Hong is not engaged yet! Zeng Guofan smiled bitterly.

"Yes, but there's always a way! Even if you tie them to the waistband of your pants, it's better than leaving them in Kyori without care. Now that my daughter is dying, my sister-in-law is full of anger, and the three daughters below have also been taken away, you have become a laughing stock of Shilin, the world is ignorant, and will only say that you are a ruthless defender, where will you experience your compassion? ”

"I don't need to understand it, I'm going to take the Chen family back to my hometown, Ji Ze is studying in the Li Fan Academy, so I will entrust it to the virtuous brother."

"Brother Zicheng, let's go meet my sister-in-law!" Guo Songtao looked anxious, he thought differently from Li Hongzhang, Li Hongzhang was for Zeng Guofan's future, and Guo Songtao Zeng Guofan had been a close friend for many years, and it could be said that he was a good family, and he didn't want to see this happen.

Zeng Guofan smiled, gently wiped Guo Songtao's hand, and dragged his heavy steps away.
