Ye Chonghua looked at the fire bubbles at the corners of Gu Xian's mouth, and was in a very good mood, if it weren't for Li Changhai's old guy who had an extra word in his ear, he would have forgotten about it, it is said that during Gu Xian's tenure in the northwest, his sleeves were clean, and when he moved to the capital, there were only two carriages loaded with things, and a few boxes of books that he treasured, and he suddenly pointed out such a good family business to his daughter, where did he prepare the dowry?

Don't you have to rush into the fire?

Ye Chonghua said with a smile: "The shops in good locations in the capital are not so easy to buy, and all the surrounding lands are owned, even if there are so many copies for sale, it is not easy to come across."

It's also strange to me, I didn't think it through, you saved the car that day, and I haven't rewarded you yet, so I'll give it all today. ”

……

So when Gu Xian returned home, he was followed by a string of little eunuchs carrying things.

Mrs. Gu was dragged by her husband and knelt down to receive the reward, Gu Wanning and her brother knelt behind, and the little eunuch sang the newspaper there, "The emperor rewarded the concubines of the Gu family: a Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing, a store in the capital, a set of huanghuali wenge wood furniture, forty pieces of high-quality fabrics, four sets of jade accessories, four sets of white jade accessories, a pair of jade Ruyi, a pair of gold Ruyi, bracelets, wrenches, hairpins, emerald flowers, bracelets, earrings, rings, shanks, and nail ......covers."

In short, the wear, the property, and the shop were all rewarded, Gu Wanning calculated, don't pretend to be too full, these can definitely make up a dowry of thirty lifts.

After the little eunuch finished singing, Gu Xian took the family to thank the emperor, and then quickly got up and stuffed a purse to the little eunuch headed by him, it is said that the little eunuch Li in front of him is the apprentice of Li Changhai and Li Gonggong, and he will never dare to slack off.

Unexpectedly, Eunuch Xiao Li didn't accept it at all, "My Lord Gu, if you really feel sorry for the slave, reward the slave for a sip of tea!" ”

Gu Xian was stunned, this one had something to say, he quickly pulled Eunuch Xiao Li to sit on the seat and served tea.

Xiao Li's father-in-law drank three cups in a row, and then put down the teacup and spoke, "Lord Gu doesn't need to thank me, the reason why the emperor knows that you are in a hurry to buy a shop and land is all the credit of the slave master, and those furniture are specially mentioned by the slave master, how can Lord Gu have time to prepare furniture for his daughter when he first came to the capital, the master and his old man remember your goodness!" ”

These words are bluntly dead, and there is no crutch at all, as if he is afraid that Gu Xian will not understand.

Xiao Li's father-in-law refers to the matter of Gu Xian's help that day, if it weren't for Gu Xian's cleverness, he really fell on the emperor, none of them who served in front of the emperor could get a good one.

Gu Xian hurriedly said: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, Gonggong Li's affection Gu has it in his heart, and he will repay it one day." ”

Xiao Li's father-in-law said a few more words and was about to get up and leave, Gu Xian hurriedly stuffed a purse into Xiao Li's father-in-law's hand, this time he didn't refuse again, and left happily with someone.

After the others left, Gu Wanning reminded: "In the future, my father will also wear more ornaments and silver tickets, and the most important thing in the palace to offend is these eunuchs who walk in front of the saint." ”

Gu Xian doesn't know? That little Li Gonggong obviously wanted to say that on purpose, just like the eunuch who sent the edict last time, why did he point out Wanning to the six princes, there is Li Changhai's handwriting.

Mrs. Gu said, "Xianggong, should we prepare a gift for Gonggong Li?" ”

Gu Xian didn't speak, but looked at his daughter.

Gu Wanning knew what her father was looking at, so she spoke: "It's best for my father to do nothing."

can be favored in front of the emperor for more than 30 years, and the relationship between Gonggong Li and the saint is not something that outsiders can imagine.

He will not anger the emperor for anyone, if his father gives him a gift, his daughter can be sure, and the emperor will know about it after he receives the gift on the front foot, which will cause the emperor's disgust. ”

In the position of the emperor, he must think: What do you want as a courtier to win over my close ministers? There must be a picture!

"Shall we do nothing, then?" Mrs. Gu said.

Gu Wanning: "Don't do anything, so that Gonggong Li can speak freely in front of the emperor." ”

Gu Xian nodded suddenly, that's it!

Just like his own housekeeper, someone comes to the house and stuffs a purse for the housekeeper, and the housekeeper will turn his head and tell himself that as for what the other party has for purpose, it doesn't matter, the important thing is that the next time there is something related to the other party, he will guess and guess in case he enters the other party's trap.

On the contrary, those who usually keep their distance, when something happens, he can help as much as he can.

If you ask for something, you will be courteous, and if you don't ask for anything, you won't mess up!

"Then we gave that Xiao Li eunuch a reward today, will it have any impact?" Mrs. Gu said worriedly.

She has been living in the northwest all these years, with a simple mind, and she has a bad background, her father is a showman, and she has never dealt with the emperor, and it is normal for her to not understand those twists and turns for a while.

However, Gu Xian felt that Madame had never been a stupid person, and if she taught her slowly, she would soon get used to it.

Gu Xian smiled: "Haven't you heard that the king of Hades is so difficult to see little ghosts?" Like Xiao Li's father-in-law, he has only been in his first two years, and he has been ...... again If there is no thought, what he thinks is a fortune, and we give the silver, and he will be satisfied, and he will say a few kind words in front of his master when he goes back.

And he went on this trip to get some silver is to say that it is not wrong to say that the heavens are coming, let's be respectful to Xiao Li Gonggong, that is, to Li Changhai, the attitude is here, Li Gonggong understands people and will not blame. ”

Gu Jianning's brother and sister have been sitting on the side without speaking, drinking tea while watching how their father teaches their mother, and the atmosphere of the family is quite harmonious.

Xiao Li's father-in-law opened the purse on the carriage back to the palace, and inside was a silver ticket of fifty taels.

This number is not the highest, and it is not uncommon for those big eunuchs in the palace to get a reward of one or two hundred taels.

But there are definitely a lot, five taels or ten taels are the norm, and the Gu family's family background is really not abundant, and it is already very good to be willing to give fifty taels as a reward.

After returning to the palace, Xiao Lizi told the master about the matter, and Li Changhai entered the palace to restore his life to the emperor, the emperor nodded and said that he knew, and then asked about what happened just now, "What did the concubine say just now?" ”

Li Changhai hurriedly put a purse in front of the emperor's imperial case, "The concubine Niangniang stuffed a purse with the minion, and the servant didn't look at it yet, she stewed a cup of soup for the emperor herself, and the servant took it to the small kitchen to warm it up." ”

The emperor picked up the purse and rummaged through the jade pendant in good condition, of course, the things that the concubine gave to the chief manager of the imperial palace must be no different, and the emperor threw the jade pendant at Li Changhai, "You will take it if you are rewarded, and the soup will be rewarded to you." ”

In the summer, who wants to drink those so-called hot soups stewed by their own hands.

Concubine, her heart has also been raised!

"Go and pass the decree, and go to the palace of the concubine to eat tonight."

Li Changhai was ordered to go down to deliver the decree.
