When the sudden summer rain was coming to an end, Xie Ruqing still didn't see Chu Ci's distraction to the point of gaffe, and Chu Ci never told Xie Ruqing what he thought in his heart.

But with the dissipation of this summer rain, with the departure of Xie Ruqing with Ling Xiaohua in his arms, and with a vigorous eagle flying away from Dayong's post house, the impeachment of Xie Ruqing's excerpt, just as Xie Ruqing and Chu Ci thought, flew like a snowflake to the imperial case of Emperor Dayong......

"This group of people is really idle and have nothing to do, Taifu (Xie Ruqing is the emperor's teacher, the former prince Taifu, that is, the current emperor Oh (><)) is dedicated to the country, this time in order to negotiate with the Nanban Mission, how much effort has been exhausted, this group of speech officials is really full of support, Taifu just sent a bouquet of flowers to Aunt Gu, plainly provoked so much gossip...... "Qi Yu, the Dayong Emperor who has not yet reached the age of forty, sat on his dragon chair, while flipping through these speech officials" "Dedicated to the country, Said mockingly.

These words were Emperor Qi Yu's true thoughts, but they were also deliberately said by Qi Yu and asked Xie Hao, who was standing next to him.

Qi Yu casually raised his eyes and looked at Xie Haowen, only to see Xie Haowen's calm and relaxed appearance, as if these things had nothing to do with him.

"Xie Aiqing, I said so much, don't you have any reaction."

When Xie Haowen heard this, he spoke: "Your Majesty Shengming." ”

Qi Yu laughed angrily when he heard this, and directly threw one of the notes into Xie Haowen's arms, and said angrily:

"You guy, when I was a child, I dared to point at my nose and scold, but now that I have grown up and become an official, I only dare to say that I am a saint!

Be careful that I will punish you for your sins and exile you...... Hurry up, tell me anything, especially Taifu's reaction.

Although I am not a prosperous monarch, I can be regarded as a monarch who can distinguish between right and wrong, this group of people, heh......"

"Your Majesty, the minister respects you, but since Your Majesty, you want the courtier to tell the truth, if you have anything to say, I will definitely know everything."

"Okay, okay, don't say high-sounding words, say something useful." Qi Yu was very impatient when Xie Hao's official tone was asked, and Qi Yu hurriedly urged.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, my father has already told me at home, and what these people say about him is irrelevant to my father."

"After all......"

"After all, what?"

"My father said, after all, since the moment my father stepped into the court, these gossips have always been with him, as long as the people of Dayong, as long as Your Majesty and you, trust your father from the beginning, then for my father, everything else is not important."

When Qi Yu heard this, he couldn't help but look softer, and then said to Xie Hao:

"Okay, you go back and tell your uncle, (Xie Ruqing is Qi Yu's father's sworn brother) I have been in the Xie family for so many years, and I always remember what kind of person my uncle is, and I believe that my uncle has never changed.

And I will definitely trust my uncle as I did back then, like my father.

Good question, you and I are the same......"

"Good...... Ah Yu, I believe in you. ”

"Okay, just believe me.

I have heard that now in addition to me, some rumors about my uncle have also begun to circulate among the people, I am the emperor, so naturally I will not allow a virtuous minister like my uncle to be slandered and suspicious, so I will let people block these news. ”

"Your Majesty, rumors are like weeds, the spring breeze blows and grows, even if Your Majesty has caught a few troublemakers now, but he can't catch the master hiding behind them, and the grass should be eradicated.

Your Majesty, the minister understands your love for your ministers very well, but for the sake of the country, you should be patient for a while and catch the person behind the scenes, which is the right reason. Xie Haowen respectfully suggested.

After Xie Hao said this, Qi Yu silently turned the jade wrench in his hand, and then said slowly:

"In that case, then let's do it according to your idea, during this time, I have to temporarily wronged my uncle."

“……”

“……”

The emperor reached a consensus with the Xie family headed by Xie Ruqing and Xie Haowen, but outsiders still didn't know the deep meaning, and one after another was still sent to the emperor's table, and the folk gossip that was not conducive to Xie Ruqing was also increasing, almost growing with a fission trend, and for a while, Xie Ruqing became the target of public criticism.

And many princes and nobles, because of this, silently distanced themselves from the Xie family, but fortunately, Xie Ruqing, Xie Haowen and others had already been prepared, so they just took the initiative to close the door to thank the guests, which saved a lot of trouble.

However, in the end, not everyone is shrewd and understandable Xie Ruqing and Xie Haowen, and not everyone is Gu Ruosu and Xie Haoan, who are "optimistic about everything", and the rest of the Xie family, more or less, are almost all affected by this incident.

Today's Hai family hurriedly wrote a letter to his mother's family to inquire about the situation, and tomorrow's Song family began to carefully let people exchange jewelry for silver, and let people buy a lot of land in the name of their mother's family......

The day after tomorrow, Rushi also began to make people stare at the notices on the street all the time, to prevent the wind from blowing, the day after tomorrow, several girls and boys have rejected all the poetry polo clubs, obediently staying in their own "one acre and three points of land", no longer eye-catching, long sighs, bitter and hateful appearance.

The troubles of these teenagers and girls are simple and pure, they are worried about the problems of this family because they love this family, not because they are worried about their future situation if the aura of the Xie family disappears.

This is what Xie Ruqing likes to see the most after secretly observing.

Xie Ruqing's thoughts, just like Xie Ruqing taught Xie Haowen at the beginning, a person can be scheming, unruly, or unruly for the sake of wealth and status, but for his loving family, he should always be a little pure.

Therefore, Xie Ruqing is very satisfied with the performance of her grandchildren this time, and it can be seen with the naked eye that even though Xie Ruqing is in the gossip, her attitude towards these grandchildren is much better.

However, at the same time, when Xie Ruqing was proud of his grandchildren, his eyes fell on a person unconsciously.

That person is Gu Shu, who has been secretly observed by Xie Ruqing for a long time and knows the future.

"Tears wet Luo Yi is full of fat ~ Si Dieyang Guan ~ Sang thousands of times ~~~

The humane mountain is long and broken, and Xiao Xiao heard the lonely hall in the light rain......

Don't hurt and leave the mess~ Forget to leave, the wine cup is deep and shallow. It's good to rely on the sound book over the geese, and Donglai is not as far as Penglai...... (Author: Li Qingzhao)"

There are always more sunny days in summer than in spring, and the sunshine is more delicate than in spring, and the delicate sun is also easier to prompt delicate flowers to bloom between heaven and earth.

Gu Shu sat outside the small courtyard where she lived, looking at the clusters of jasmine flowers that were almost blooming in front of her, and she was in a very happy mood, so she casually hummed a song that has been passed down for a long time.

"Girl, this is what you asked me to get back today, you see, but what do you want?" A maidservant with a delicate face, stepping on Gu Shu's cheerful singing, walked in with a box, put the box in front of Gu Shu, and said respectfully.

Gu Shu continued to sing this tune non-stop, and at the same time took the box in the handmaid's hand, opened it as if inadvertently and glanced at it, then stopped the song and said:

"Well, it should be these, the pearls of Taikang Pavilion have always been the best, take them down and continue to put them in my jewelry box."

"Yes, girl, girl, do you want to buy it tomorrow?"

"No need, although the pearls of Taikang Pavilion are good, they are expensive, and that person is not worthy of so many good pearls."

"Yes, the little one understands, girl, it's just, girl, what do you have to do to buy so many pearls, what do we want from the Xie family......

If the girl wants a pearl or something, go to the manager to get some pearls, why bother, let's buy it ourselves, every time we go back to Taikang Pavilion to buy pearls...... I don't want to say how much time it takes, but I just say that the price is all from the girl's own makeup money......" Cinnabar said.

Gu Shu shook her head and signaled Cinnabar not to care about these things, horizontal and vertical, these things, she can't control as a maidservant.

Cinnabar saw that Gu Shu was reluctant to follow her words, so she obediently stopped talking.

It's just that I thought in my heart, Gu Shu can't find out any news here, what should he think of, and if he knows some news, he always has to find out the usefulness of this pearl......

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to explain it to her master, Xie Ruqing......

What Cinnabar was thinking in his heart, Gu Shu was not very clear.

After all, the origin of cinnabar is really innocent, at the beginning, the thoughtful Gu Shu stayed in the Xie family for only a few days, and found that although the maids around him seemed to be obedient, they were actually sent by the Xie family to monitor him.

Almost all of his words and deeds were reported by those people, although Gu Shu could understand the Xie family's approach, after all, the timing of his appearance was too coincidental, and it was normal not to worry that she was a stranger at home.

However, Gu Shu is not a person who puts her net worth and life in the hands of others, and besides, she still has her own things to do.

Therefore, Gu Shu's search for a confidant at that time was the top priority.

She had deliberately avoided the servants of the Xie family, and with the help of Xie Hao'an, she bought back a few refugees who had been exiled to the capital, among them, Cinnabar was her fellow villager and friend, so she was particularly trusting.

However, Gu Shu never thought that this coincidence of meeting fellow villagers might just be Xie Ruqing's deliberate......

Cinnabar was still immersed in how she should be able to find out the role of pearls, but suddenly heard Gu Shu speak:

"Cinnabar, what are you thinking, is there something wrong?" Gu Shu, who was very careful, soon discovered Cinnabar's distraction, so he spoke quietly.

"Ah...... It's okay, girl, the slave is just worrying about you......" A trace of panic flashed in Cinnabar's heart, but she still said very calmly.

"Worried about me? What are you worried about? What do I have to worry about? Gu Shu asked with a little confusion.

"Slave maid...... The slave maid is just worried, girl, if such a cheerful song in the house is heard by those who have a heart and reported to the grandfather and the princess of the country, it will bring trouble to you, girl......

After all...... Now...... Grandpa Guo's situation...... Yes...... The well-known ......"

Gu Shu looked at Cinnabar with a worried look, shook her head very calmly and said:

"Don't worry too much, the relationship between your aunt and uncle and Your Majesty is very human, and after so many years of getting along day and night and the love of kings and ministers, Your Majesty must have a sense of proportion in his heart.

Moreover...... (The time for the Xie family's building to collapse has not yet arrived...... It's just some gossip, and if the gossip can bring down the uncle, then it's too much to underestimate the uncle. ”

"But ......" Cinnabar still opened his mouth "worried" to say something.

"It's nothing, the people in the house, it's just a moment of panic.

Come to think of it, they are all people who have seen the world, and when these times have passed, the Xie family will still sing and dance.

And, after all, it's just a tune, what are those people going to do with me? Yes...... If you have the ability, you can sew my mouth up~"

"Yes, Miss is smart, and what she said is very reasonable, the sky outside is supported by the grandfather of the country, and the slave and maid should not think about anything like those people, and try to be like those little sisters, to redeem themselves or buy land, and ask for a guarantee."

"Ask for a guarantee...... the four words between Cinnabar unintentionally, but suddenly made Gu Shu hook her lips and smile, and then, only to hear Gu Shu say:

"Cinnabar, next time, if someone from the Yin Wangfu sends a letter again, you will send the letter back untouched, just say...... He said that I had been overly worried and unwell lately, and I couldn't reply to the letter. ”

"Ah...... Miss, this ...... Why is that? Cinnabar asked suspiciously.

Although Gu Shu trusted Cinnabar very much at the moment, she still didn't tell the cause and effect, she just looked at Gu Shu and shook her head and said:

"You don't have to pay attention to this, I naturally have my reasons for doing things, you just do what I say, in a few days, I want to ...... Someone is going to come to us on their own initiative. ”

When Cinnabar heard this, something seemed to flash in his mind, but Cinnabar didn't catch it, so he said respectfully:

“…… Everything is at the girl's command......"
