"Ouch, ouch~"
Hu family.
Hu Yi lay on the bed, wailing feebly as someone gave him medicine.
Guo Huan and Wang Daoheng took turns to take a look. When they saw the bloody mess, they couldn't help but sigh. Their son choked with sobs and explained.
"Fortunately, the people in the palace used the imperial sticks well, and no bones were injured. It will be fine after a month or two of rest."
Hearing this, Hu Yi raised his head from the bed and looked at Guo Huan with tears in his eyes.
"Master Guo, His Majesty asked me to go to Shunde and told me to set off tomorrow."
"It's obvious that you dislike me. Can you please say something nice to me?"
He finally climbed to the third rank of minister, but he couldn't fall down!
Thinking of this, he said bitterly: "It's all the fault of that bastard Gu Chen. Isn't it just that he won a Jinshi at the age of nineteen? What's so great about it?"
"He was talking nonsense there, but I just said a few words back."
"But that's just to embarrass him and give Mr. Guo some vent."
"We all work as officials, so who wouldn't quarrel?"
"But that bastard Gu Chen actually reported this trivial matter to His Majesty, causing me to be beaten sixty times by His Majesty."
"He even ran up to me and gave me a few sticks. Why should he?"
Hu Yi couldn't figure it out. Didn't he just say a few words?
But His Majesty didn't say anything about beating him sixty times, and even wiped out the official.
As for that?
"I told you not to act impulsively." Before Guo Huan could say anything, Wang Daoheng stepped forward and said, "But you just didn't listen."
"You said you are a minister of household affairs, why are you arguing with people from the Metropolitan Procuratorate?"
"Is it too noisy?"
"Whatever comes into their mouth will turn black into white or flatten into a circle. If you argue with them, you are asking for trouble."
Look at him, he doesn't make any noise if he knows it won't happen. Why bother?
"Brother Daoheng, please stop talking about me." Hu Yi cried and raised his head, looking at Guo Huan pitifully: "Master Guo, please help me."
"No matter what, let me take care of myself first before I go on the road, right?"
"If I go on the road like this, I'm afraid I will die on the way."
After serving as an official for the Ming Dynasty for so many years, there is no credit but hard work.
How could he die in such a way?
"How can I help you?" Guo Huan is not stupid. Of course he will not do this at this time: "Your Majesty is angry, and I will suffer if I go to speak to you."
"Let me see!"
"You just go to Shunde first to avoid the limelight and talk about coming back in two years, right?"
"Don't worry, I will mention your matter to Your Majesty when He calms down."
After a while of comforting each other, the two said goodbye, but Hu Yi became increasingly uneasy.
Why did he feel that he was not only despised by His Majesty, but also by Mr. Guo?
When Hu Yi was sent out of the capital, almost everyone in the procuratorate in Kyoto went to see him off. Of course, they actually went to watch a joke.
Others were either riding horses or sitting in sedan chairs, but Hu Yi was carried lying on his stomach on a stretcher. This was the first time in history.
But none of the officials from the Ministry of Revenue came to see him off.
Hu Yi gritted his teeth with hatred and left the capital angrily with hatred in his heart.
"If I can get up, I must let you know the pros and cons!"
Gu Chen was a little tired these days, not for anything else but mainly because he was tired from acting.
Every day I have to show off that I missed a good marriage, but with a dark face.
He couldn't get carried away when he got home, not to mention how tired and uncomfortable he was.
On this day, he went home from the next morning to practice with his daughter and son in the study room in the front yard.
Seeing Gu An staring at the pearl, he looked like a young man in love with spring.
Gu Chen got up to play tricks and deliberately said to his wife who was doing embroidery at the side.
"Madam, haven't you been looking after your daughter-in-law recently?"
"Didn't you find the right one?"
"Although Pearl is a maid, she has been working in our house since she was a child. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is half a daughter, but we cannot treat her badly."
"You must find a good one, preferably a scholar, but not the kind of person who always hangs out with friends and goes out to drink."
Gu An, who pricked up his ears, couldn't help but feel a bulge in his heart when he heard this.
How does this sound like you are talking about yourself?
But that was just an excuse. He was going to report to work and run errands.
He doesn’t like drinking!
There are no cunning friends!
Su Wanying looked at her husband's face and then at Gu An outside the door. She vaguely understood in her heart, so she deliberately started talking to her husband.
"What's so good about being a scholar? It's always a scholar who is unfaithful."
"I think businessmen are quite good. They don't have to worry about food and clothing."
"But, studying and having money are at least the same thing. You can't let Pearl marry her and you won't even have a family, right?"
San'er felt even more uneasy in an instant. Didn't he just have no place to live now?
He now earns one dan of money per month in the Gu family, plus Jin Yiwei's four-stone salary, the amount of silver is about two taels of money.
That’s three dollars a month in total, including food and accommodation, and there’s no place to spend money.
Over the years, I have saved a lot of money, but how do I get this money out?
What if Mr. Gu asks, where did he get so much money?
At this time, Gu An heard his wife's gentle voice again.
"However, the most important thing is to see what Pearl wants."
In the past few years, Su Wanying had vaguely discovered that her husband was always wary of Gu An.
And Pearl, she clearly doesn't like Gu An, but she always shows kindness to him.
It seems that he was given the instruction by his father-in-law...
Oh, what a wonderful family, why does she feel a little confused about it?
Gu An raised his head and glanced at Pearl innocently, who blushed slightly and lowered his head.
Gu Chen didn't continue to tease these two idiots. These two idiots were the only ones who could become the Jin Yiwei. I'm afraid the HR manager of the Jin Yiwei at that time was blind.
As for the pearls…
He still hoped that he would marry this idiot San'er. As for whether the emperor would send someone else to come?
Except for the earlier group of people and his wife's dowry, he must not let any newcomers get close to him.
At the very least, not up close.
If the emperor wants to know his own affairs, he can only get it from San'er's mouth.
But he is also a human being, not a god, and there are always times when he accidentally reveals something.
San'er is my microphone, but I also want him to help me get through small things without knowing it.
To put it bluntly, it is to make the emperor feel at ease, but also to make the emperor not know so clearly.
what to do?
After much deliberation, the method of keeping the wife and children warm on the bed is safer.
I just don’t know if Pearl is willing.
"What did the master say? Pearl's life was saved by you, master. There is nothing that Pearl wants or doesn't do."
Without any hesitation, Pearl expressed that she was willing to do anything for her master.
"But it's just that I'm marrying someone, and I'm not asking me to die. Besides, Brother An Zi... is indeed a nice person, and I haven't treated me badly."
Just a little silly.
Even her family found out that he was hiding in the Gu family.
But he was full of confidence and felt how flawlessly he had done it.
Therefore, she doesn't like such stupid people.
But so what?
Isn't it true that marriage allows people to do whatever they want? Aren't most people just able to live this life?
If others can do it, so can she. The key is to be able to repay her kindness.
"Pearl, I've wronged you."
Gu Chen felt a little guilty for sacrificing other people's marriages because of himself.
But how dangerous the officialdom is, being an official for Lao Zhu is even more dangerous.
If you are not careful, dozens of members of your family may be lost.
