Qi Fujin was also a straightforward person. Seeing Shu Shu's determination, he stopped being verbose and accepted her kindness.
Today is already the first day of May. After the Dragon Boat Festival, everyone will go to Haidian Brother's house. Then they will live next to each other and there will be plenty of opportunities to talk. Qi Fujin did not stay long and said goodbye and left.
Shu Shu personally sent him out of the house and watched Qi Fujin's carriage leave.
At this time, I saw two riders coming towards the intersection, clicking this way.
The two cavalry did not stop at Sibeile Mansion, nor at Babeizi Mansion, but went directly to the Ninth Prince Mansion.
Shu Shu did not return home immediately, but looked over.
The two riders seemed to be saying something, reining in the reins and speeding up.
Xiaosong, who often goes out with Shu Shu, said: "Fu Jin, this is Uncle Gui Dangui..."
Shu Shu also saw the outline. The person on the maroon horse had some familiar features.
It’s just that I haven’t seen her for half a year. Guidan has become Guizhi. She has lost more than half her body weight and her facial features have become clearer. Her nose and chin actually look a bit like Concubine Yi.
The nephew looks like his aunt, which is normal, but he was a little obese before, so it didn't show up.
The person next to Guidan looked dark and thin, but his features were handsome and his eyes were dark.
At this moment, the two of them had stopped a few feet away and dismounted.
"Slave Guidan has seen Jiu Fujin, and asks Jiu Fu Jin to be safe..."
Guidan stepped forward and greeted her with a thousand greetings.
Shu Shu nodded and said: "Uncle Gui, wake up quickly. I haven't seen you for a while. Why are you so polite..."
Gui Dan became more honest, pointed to the people around him and said: "Jiu Fujin, this is the slave's cousin Gui Yuan, who was also Jiu Ye's haha pearl earlier..."
As he said that, he looked at Gui Yuan and said, "What are you doing standing there stupidly? You haven't seen Master Fujin yet?"
Gui Yuan was a bit shy and also gave Shu Shu a thousand greetings.
Shu Shu also called out and said: "Master Jiu mentioned you a few days ago. I guess it's almost time to arrive in Beijing. You're not an outsider. Come in quickly..."
Gui Yuan said with shame, "It's my servant who acted carelessly and caused trouble to Master Jiu."
The matter involved three official security guards, so Shu Shu couldn't say anything, so she invited the two people in.
Both of them looked dusty.
No wonder Guidan was silent except for the guards. Did he go to Shengjing?
Brother Ninth is in the study at the moment.
Yesterday he asked someone to find Fu Qing, but he was a step late. Fu Qing had already returned with his homework.
That is a book called "Hundred Proverbs to Encourage Forbearance".
Copy books and write reading notes.
Knowing that Brother Jiu didn't like reading, Ma Qi also gave him a limit, asking him to hand in two copies of the book every ten days, plus two notes.
Last year, after Brother Nine killed a horse at Haidian Racecourse, Ma Qi also gave him a book, the Sutra of Forbearance, and asked him to copy it a hundred times.
This time, it’s the same trick again.
Brother Ninth regretted it.
Who can live a good life and be willing to copy books?
Isn’t it too conspicuous to send people to find Brother Twelve now?
Be more honest.
It happened that Qi Fujin came over as a guest, so he escaped from the main courtyard and went to the front study to read a book.
After flipping through it, Brother Jiu thought it made sense. For example, this sentence said, "The way to maintain a good family begins with the couple. They inherit the sacrifices from the top and support the parents from the bottom. Only if the husband is righteous and the wife is obedient, then the family will be prosperous."
Whose family is living as smoothly as theirs?
Fujin loved and cherished him, and he also loved and cherished Fujin, and they had both sons and daughters.
Not to mention that there is no bastard, there is only this one beside me.
He and Fujin are the "two people from generation to generation" in Nalan Rongruo's poems.
It's a pity that he can't write poetry, otherwise he really wants to write a poem for Fujin, which will be passed down through the ages and let people know that they are so loving.
From this point of view, this "Hundred Admonitions to Encourage Forbearance" is more interesting than the "Forbearance Sutra".
However, Brother Jiu still felt that watching this would not make him much progress, and he should lose his temper when he should. If he could bear it like this, he would be depressed.
He couldn't do things as calmly as a teacher.
Just as I was thinking about it, there was movement outside.
He Yuzhu came in and said, "Master, Uncle Gui and Gui Yuan are here. They are waiting in the yard."
Brother Jiu ignored "Uncle Gui" and heard "Gui Yuan" clearly. He immediately stood up and strode out.
At the door of the study, Gui Dan and Gui Yuan were both worried.
Seeing Brother Jiu come out, Gui Yuan immediately knelt down, kowtowed three times, and choked with sobs: "My slave Gui Yuan thanks Brother Jiu for his great kindness..."
If Brother Jiu hadn't taken action, he would have been labeled as the mastermind of the ginseng theft and given a heavy sentence. It's unclear whether he could have saved his life.
Brother Jiu felt uncomfortable and pulled Gui Yuan up and said: "I'm not an outsider, why are you blabbering? You are my man, if I don't protect you, who will protect you?"
Guiyuan said with shame: "Jiuye treated me kindly, but my slave abandoned Master Jiu the year before last."
Brother Jiu waved his hand and said: "The past is the past. I was stupid at the time and was fooled by others. I couldn't think of anything else. If I ask you a few more words, you will not be deceived into returning to Shengjing..."
Having said this, he looked at Guidan next to him and said in surprise: "Hey! You have changed a lot? Why are you so thin? Go back to Fifth Brother's house and teach Fifth Brother..."
Guidan grinned, but did not respond eagerly. Instead, he said: "I have something private to say to Master Jiu alone..."
Brother Jiu's eyes turned around on Gui Dan's face, and he saw the rare seriousness in his eyes. He nodded slightly and told He Yuzhu: "Take Gui Yuan to the guest room to freshen up, have a good rest, and take two of my shirtless clothes." Give him the condom to use first..."
"Master Jiu, no need..." Gui Yuan said hurriedly.
Brother Jiu hummed softly: "We're home, what are you talking about?"
I don’t know if it’s because of growing up, but Brother Jiu also remembered that when he was a child, he was really close to his friend Haha Zhuzi.
When He Yuzhu took Gui Yuan to the guest house, Brother Jiu asked Gui Dan to follow him into the study.
"Finally, you're smart. Do you want to bring Guiyuan back to atone for your sins?"
Brother Jiu sat back and hummed softly.
Last year I sent Guidan to the Sentence Department just to scare people.
On the contrary, it was the Jin family, the mother of Guidan, who held a grudge. In early March, there were rumors about Shu Shu's postpartum bad news, and Jin family was behind it, adding fuel to the fire.
Brother Jiu got angry and beat up Guidan's bodyguard.
Guidan smiled bitterly and said: "I really want to atone for my sins, but it's not about taking over Guiyuan, but this time I went to Shengjing and Wula, Jilin, and found the place where Mafa secretly planted mountain ginseng and garden ginseng. …”
Brother Jiu's expression became serious after hearing this.
Of course he knows what "moving mountain ginseng" and "garden ginseng" are.
Speaking of ginseng, the former is to transplant small wild ginseng to a more suitable place to make it grow faster; the latter is to collect ginseng seeds, cultivate seedlings and sow them.
In the market, these two types of ginseng are regarded as fake ginseng because they are not as effective as wild ginseng. In fact, except for specialized medicinal material dealers and pharmaceutical people, ordinary people have no way to tell the difference between the two.
Thinking about the price of ginseng, Brother Jiu took a breath of air, looked at Guidan, and said: "Is your Mafa using private purchase of ginseng as a cover to confuse those fake ginseng?"
Guidan nodded and said: "That should be the case..."
Brother Jiu looked at him and asked puzzledly: "How do you reveal this? You must know that privately growing ginseng is a serious crime. Shouldn't it be 'hidden from each other'?"
Guidan's face was sullen and he said: "Mafa disliked the incompetence of our father and son, and could not keep his support, so he gave the two left-hand collars in the family to my second uncle and my third uncle. If it was just this matter, I have no complaints, but Mafa wrote a letter saying that the family was divided in Shengjing and the family property was equally divided. He also left us five thousand taels of silver for the division. He wrote a letter saying that he would keep his second uncle by his side to take care of him in old age and asked us to find him. Move out of the house..."
Guidan has always considered himself the eldest grandson of the eldest family since he was a child, and he is also a pampered person. Now he is treated like an outcast by the family, so naturally he can't stand it.
"The slave is thinking, since Mafa can't bear to share the property, then no one can keep it. I wonder if this can make atonement with Master Jiu?" Guidan said in a dull voice.
He originally had a heartless temper, but he has experienced a lot of ups and downs in the world in the past six months, and he seems to have become much more stable.
Brother Jiu snorted coldly: "You deserve it! I can't tell who is far and who is near!"
Daobao is the empress's brother, and the eldest brother of the Guo Luoluo family is supposed to be the most confident one, with the most backers and a promising future, but they are forced to become estranged from each other.
They have no backer, and it is expected that they will be abandoned by their family.
Guidan's eyes were red and she said: "My slave Eni has regretted it. I, Amar, have taken a new concubine..."
Brother Jiu rolled his eyes and said, "Your Ama is very generous. You lost your errand and you are still in the mood to be a groom!"
Guidan smiled bitterly and said: "I was afraid of being embarrassed, so I didn't dare to go out. I drank at home all day, and then I went to the little wife's house, hoping to give birth to a little one to make haha beads for the Eighteenth Master. I was stunned when I saw it."
Brother Ninth was not sympathetic.
Daobao is the head of the family, so it is naturally his fault that he cannot restrain his wife.
And before, between the Guo Luoluo family and the two princes and nephews, he was on both ends of the spectrum. He could get any advantage he wanted. How could such a good thing happen?
If we don't deal with him, are we going to force the ninth and fifth elder brothers to fight with that long-tongued woman of the Jin family?
Daobao and his wife deserved it, but Brother Jiu had planned to use Guidan before...
It was just to put a pair of eyes and ears in Guo Luoluo's house, so as to avoid causing big trouble in private and making them lose face.
There is also Guidan, who grew up with him. He doesn't have a city, but he can see through it.
He glanced at Guidan with disgust and said, "Look at your potential. Apart from two left leaders, what else do you, Ma Fa, and the others have? For the sake of your rare cleverness, I will give you some bodyguards later." , after a few years and enough experience, we can talk about other things.”
This is what Guidan originally came for.
After all, the Guo Luoluo family is the one who carries the flag, not the one who wears the yellow flag. It is very difficult to make up for the missing flag.
If the family does not support and mediate, there is no hope.
On the contrary, here in the Ninth Prince's Mansion, as long as the Ninth Prince nods, he can make up for his future.
Gui Dan's eyes were red, and he knelt down and said, "Thank you, Master Jiu, for taking in this slave. I will definitely fulfill my duties faithfully."
Brother Jiu warned: "I don't care for idlers here, and I don't want people to be idle. You and Guiyuan don't have much merit. You should start from the third class of guards. When you are capable, you can be promoted to the second class. If you dare to do what you did before, , who is cheating and cheating outside in my name, I won’t send you to the Criminal Punishment Department, I will send you directly to the Jingshi Room!”
Guidan couldn't help but cross her legs and said solemnly: "I don't dare. I was young at that time and was ignorant. I have been working as an errand in the palace for the past two years and I have learned the rules well..."
Brother Jiu raised his chin and said: "Anyway, you have seen my temper, and you don't like others to talk about old friendships with me. You don't have any old friendships to talk about here..."
