Even the gate of the Gu Mansion was open, and Gu Xin was covered in mud and water, holding on to the vermilion doorpost.

"Young Master! What happened to you! ”

"I'm unlucky, I just slipped on my foot outside and fell into the pit! Go, boil water for me, I want to take a bath. ”

In the front hall directly opposite the door, Xiao Cui, who was eating breakfast, hurriedly put down the rice porridge and went to boil water for Gu Xin.

Gu Xin found that she was eating, and stopped her again, "Wait, you eat breakfast first, and I'll boil the water myself." ”

Only then did Gu Xin see clearly, the family at the table was accompanying Su Bailing for breakfast, and even the old horse was holding a steamed bun and gnawing on it.

Su Bailing, who was sitting in the first place, couldn't bear it, Gu Xin, an unlucky child, disappeared early in the morning, and came back with this embarrassing appearance!

Ning Youyan sat next to Su Bailing, she didn't seem to be used to eating, holding a pair of chopsticks, and was stirring in the porridge bowl. The girl raised her eyes and looked at Gu Xin, she couldn't help but smile, and the corners of her mouth were upturned, "This hair is the same as a chicken nest." ”

Gu Xin walked over and sat next to Ning Youyan, and found that there was no bowl on the table, so he reached out and snatched Ning Youyan's porridge.

"What is the girl's nonsense, if you don't drink it, give it to me!"

"Hey! I've drunk it! Ning Youyan was anxious.

"Unfortunately, I don't want it."

"Young master, I'm done eating, I'm going to boil water for you?" Xiao Cui drank her porridge in two sips and wiped her mouth.

As a result, the first to get up was the butler Lao Ma who was seated.

Lao Ma is capable, he is not Xiaocui, these female dolls, drink porridge and take a small sip.

"I'll go, I'll boil water for the young master!" Lao Ma got off the table directly and went to boil bath water for Gu Xin.

Gu Xin said strangely at this time: "Mother, what about the rest of our family?" Why can't you even find a person to boil water? ”

Gu Xin looked around and suddenly found that the house was empty at this time, except for a few people who were eating breakfast, there was no one else!

- It stands to reason that when the rain stops, the house should be very lively, how can it be so deserted.

Su Bailing sat on the first seat, and immediately got angry when she heard this, "No one? Don't blame your dad on his back! I just came back and took all the people in our family away! What do you say that there is a shortage of manpower over there, hehe, there are no living people in the government? I also have to run to the house to ask for someone! It's not a thing. ”

Gu Yanyan comforted beside her: "Mother, my father is also for the victims!" ”

Su Bailing glanced at her and said, "Yanyan, our family will suffer in the future, and your expenses such as rouge, embroidery, calligraphy and painting will all have to stop!" The change will also be cut in half, and new clothes will not be made for the holidays this year! ”

Gu Yanyan's beautiful eyes widened, staring straight at Su Bailing, and her mouth was big.

"Why?!"

Su Bailing said simply: "Because the family has no money." ”

Gu Xin also glared. No money at home?!

Su Bailing's face was full of gloom, "You don't know yet, I'll tell you the truth." Last night, the imperial court's disaster relief messenger came! That prion, what is it. ”

"Prion Peak!" Su Bailing said the name heavily.

"The imperial court's Prion sent disaster relief, how did he come, he came with a pair of empty hands! What kind of disaster relief money, that's not a tael of silver! ”

Su Bailing smiled coldly, and the more she spoke, the faster she spoke, "Where is there a disaster in general, the imperial court will only be sent down after half a month and a month, I said how can this peak come so quickly, it turns out that he only cares about a clean person!" Last night, Lord Ruan took our major local officials to discuss all night, and came up with an "order from the imperial court". ”

"It is said that the rain disaster is too big to be counted, and the disaster relief silver of the imperial court must be submitted before it can be decentralized, so it will not be able to come down for a while. According to the meaning of the system, we local officials were asked to pay for the disaster relief funds first, and he made an IOU on behalf of the imperial court, and when the appropriation was determined in the future, he would pay us back one by one. ”

Su Bailing sighed and said, "So, our family has no money now!" Your father mortgaged the shop I had been running for so long, and the factory was used as disaster relief money! The surplus silver in the family today is more than 1,000 taels! It's just enough to eat. ”

Gu Yanyan was shocked, oh my God, has her eldest lady become so poor overnight?

"More than a thousand taels! Ah, I haven't saved so much money in my life......" Ning Youyan drank porridge silently.

Gu Xin looked at Ning Youyan's bowl, and finally brought over the porridge bowl that Xiaocui had eaten, and served himself a bowl of porridge.

Gu Xin drank porridge and asked, "Mother, is it reliable to mortgage our family's money and repay it with the court's appropriation in the future?" ”

Su Bailing said: "Reliable and naturally reliable, the court is so big, can you owe our family this bit of silver?" It's just a pity that my shops, now the price is off, and I will have to get it back at this price in the future. It seems that there is no loss and no gain, but in fact, it is still a loss! My shop earns hundreds of taels of silver every day, and I lose more than 1,000 taels in ten days. ”

"That's it, who made our family an official family, your father is right, the victims of the disaster are also people, and if you don't save them, you won't be able to do it. This dumb loss can only be eaten by me! ”

Gu Xin listened and nodded, as long as he arrived out, he could get it back in the end. But I'm still a little worried in my heart, and I always feel that this thing is not so reliable.

Just now, Su Bailing said, "According to the meaning of the system, we local officials are required to pay for the disaster relief funds first, and he will make an IOU on behalf of the imperial court."

In other words, the matter of the family property to offset the disaster relief funds should actually be the meaning of Jiangzhou Taiwan, not necessarily the meaning of the imperial court...... Of course, the person with the greatest power in the entire Jiangzhou is Jiangzhou's Taiwan, in a sense, the meaning of Taiwan's system is Jiangzhou's "imperial court meaning"!

In addition, in this life, Gu Xin found that he seemed to have an unexpected trouble - there is no cash at home now, but if he needs to improve the martial arts realm as soon as possible, a lot of money will inevitably be spent during this period, so if there is no silver to spend, what is he doing?!

With the qualifications of this body miscellaneous elemental heart, without spending money and without the assistance of external forces, the martial arts realm cannot be improved in a short period of time!

At this time, the old horse boiled warm water and shouted from afar, "Second young master, the water is hot, you go wash it!" ”

Gu Xin's porridge also reached the third bowl, so he put down the porridge and got up to take a bath.

On the side, Xiaocui stood up as a matter of course, "Young master, I'll help you wipe your back." ”

Gu Xin nodded, and the girl followed Gu Xin, and the two walked towards the bath together.

Ning Youyan was stunned as she watched Xiaocui chase Gu Xin away, her face was very shocked.

"What's the relationship between the two of them? Do you want to take a bath together? ”

Gu Yanyan also finished eating, stood up here, and began to help Lao Ma clean up the dishes and chopsticks, "She is the second brother's woman, what does it matter if you wipe your back." ”

Ning Youyan blushed, "Gu Xin's woman, that's the case, ha, haha." ”

Gu Yanyan held a few porridge bowls, and while he turned around, he couldn't help but bow his head and whisper, "Even me." ”

No one saw it, and Gu Yanyan's cheeks suddenly became an intoxicating red.

"Gu Yanyan, Gu Yanyan, you are really crazy, how could you secretly say such shameless words!" Gu Yanyan held the bowl and walked away quickly, still reprimanding himself in his heart. However, I gave the sachet myself...... Compared to that sachet, this kind of thing doesn't seem to be a big deal!
