Gu Shiwei nodded at Fifteen Niang, didn't persuade anything more, and stood up to see off the guests.

Fifteen Niang didn't hesitate this time, walked out of the courtyard with the corner of her skirt, and saw Shili sitting in front of the door sewing clothes, her eyes were slightly red, "If Lamei is still there, knowing that Shili is here, she will definitely come to talk to you." ”

Lamei is her personal maidservant, and after she was caught running away from marriage, she was fortunately rescued by Doctor Shan.

But Lamei lost her life early.

Shili's eyes instantly filled with tears, "She loves to eat the winter melon candy I made, this time I'll make more so that she can eat enough." ”

In the past, when she was in the house, she and Lamei were the most compatible, and she thought that Lamei was married with Fifteen Niang, but she didn't want to......

Fifteen Niang's nose was slightly sour, she wiped the corners of her scarlet eyes with a handkerchief, and walked out without saying anything.

Gu Shiwei leaned against the door frame and looked at Fifteen Niang's feet, she walked slightly unnaturally, as if she was trying to control herself, against the precise steps that were engraved in the bones of the Gu family with a ruler.

This made her look tense, and although the adjustment was not obvious, Gu Shiwei could still see the difference.

Fifteen Niang is personally erasing every disgusting mark engraved on her body by the Gu family, even if it has little effect, she still works awkwardly and persistently.

It wasn't until he couldn't hear the sound of Gu Shiniang's carriage that Gu Shiwei waved at the coachman Zhang Shidao, and whispered a few times in his ear.

When they were gone, Gu Shiwei hugged Shili from behind, "Okay, sister, my mouth is very light, I want to eat the wine you made!" ”

Shili was still immersed in the news of Lamei's death before, and when he heard Gu Shiwei's request, he came back to his senses.

She crossed her hands on her waist, caught a glimpse of Gu Shijing's pricked ears on the side, and immediately said, "You can only eat wine and eggs, the girl doesn't have to think about scooping and eating directly with a spoon, the weather is still very cold at this time, and the wine is as if it has been chilled." ”

"I ate the cold one carefully, and I was going to cough again. Besides, the girl is now a sister, if she doesn't set a good example, Brother Jing will follow suit. His body is weak, and he can't eat cold for half a minute......"

Shili said, put the half-sewn shirt in his hand into the needlework dustpan, "The girl and Brother Jing are going to rest for a while, I'll pinch some rice balls for you, and wake up after a while and go down to the wine." ”

Gu Shiwei stuck out his tongue and glanced at Gu Shijing, both sisters and brothers were bitter haha.

But in this mansion, Shili is the boss, and they all have to listen to her words.

Gu Shiwei thought that there was still something important to do at night, so he obediently picked up Gu Shijing and sent him back to the house, and then lay back on his bed.

The things here are all re-purchased after coming to Bianjing, she is not very particular about this person, and the bed tent is the simplest cyan cloth. Shili felt that it was too simple, and added a layer of ruffles to the edge, and embroidered some dandelion flowers sporadically.

Gu Shiwei stared at the bed tent, and his thoughts fell on the secret that Gu Shiniang said before.

What does that mean? It is said that Gu Junan is suspected of fraud in the imperial examination, and he did not come with his real skills, but by Gu Huanying and "Distant Mountain Map", if this thing is true......

That was a fatal blow for the Gu family.

Prior to this, although the imperial court took scholars in different dynasties, from the Shiqing Shilu system, to the Spring and Autumn Period to the theory of military merit, and then to the filial piety and honesty, and the nine-grade Zhongzheng system, none of them were not based on the door.

In this way, the gate valve and the family are too powerful, and sometimes they can even overwhelm the emperor Lao'er.

In the Dayong Dynasty, the emphasis on literature and light on military force opened the imperial examination, and the scholars of the Hanmen had an upward channel, and the party struggle in the court became balanced.

The imperial examination can be said to be the foundation of the founding of the Dayong Dynasty, and it is also the foundation for those who read to feel that they are superior.

So if what Gu Shiniang said is true, how does the Gu family operate?

What does this imperial examination fraud have to do with "Distant Mountains"?

……

The night in Bianjing is still a song and dance, and it has not changed in the slightest because of the frequent murders recently.

The curfew began as soon as the Gu family's old mansion arrived, and the servants at night were like ghosts with their tongues cut out, walking with fluttering children, and they couldn't make the slightest sound.

A woman dressed in a big waist took out the key and locked the second door, twisted her big ass and drilled into the shelter next to her, and shouted.

"I'm still stunned, and I don't fill my grandmother with that good wine."

Hearing her rampant words, the little maid with her bun shrunk and looked around in horror, she held the wine that had just been warmed, and asked with some trepidation, "Mama Ma, is this really possible?" If the Lord finds out ......"

As soon as she said this, the other two mothers-in-law sitting in the corner chewing peanuts all laughed.

Ma Pozi took a sip of the maid, "The guts are smaller than the peanuts and grains." Afraid of what? Everyone in the capital city knew that the Gu family had suffered a great disaster, and they didn't see that the two rooms of the big house were arrested by the Kaifeng Mansion...... Where are they in the mood to care about us? ”

"Those who suffered a thousand knives used to pretend to be poor in front of us, and those who ate bran and swallowed vegetables followed the surname Gu, which was worse than the farmers at the head of the village. I thought that I was with a philanthropist, and I thought that there was so much gold and silver that I would be covered with Bianhe, and I was reluctant to leak a trace from my fingernails to add a piece of meat to our bowl......"

Ma Pozi scolded here, and couldn't help sighing, "If the Gu family falls...... We old ladies may have to go our separate ways, be cattle and horses for a lifetime, and think that we will retire here. I never thought that when I was old, there was nowhere to go. ”

As she spoke, she looked at the wine cup that had been filled with the little maidservant, and touched it with the other two.

"Sister Ma is right...... Before, I was full of joy and wanted to marry Miss Qing to the Earl's Court, but now that Mrs. Cao is out of prison, she will come to withdraw from the marriage. The big house has become a murderous black-hearted liver...... This Qing girl is missing, and I have to find another way out......"

The mother-in-law who spoke was surnamed Zhao, and she was one of Gu Qing's original mothers to marry.

Mrs. Cao had accidents with the Gu family's big house one after another, and the Earl's Mansion silently withdrew from the marriage with Gu Qing.

Mrs. Xu said, and looked at the third mother-in-law who was sitting there without saying a word, "Sister Xu......"

She was only halfway through her words, when she saw that Mrs. Xu turned her head sharply towards her, and then turned her head back in a panic with a frightened expression.

Ma Pozi, who was about to pour her wine, was startled when she saw her like this, and she scolded, "The surname is Xu, what are you doing in a daze?" Where's anyone behind this! ”

The mother-in-law surnamed Xu shook her hand, and the cup fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

She jumped up from her spot and stammered, "Xiang...... Aroma...... Do you smell the aroma? Aromatic...... It's the fragrance of Brother Yao'er, it's the fragrance of Brother Yao'er......"

As soon as Brother Yao'er said three words, behind the locked second door, a creepy child's laughter suddenly appeared. (End of chapter)
