It is said that the road is difficult to walk on rainy days. If you don't consider the mud on your shoes, walking on the main road of Qiantai Dynasty is not bad. The official road is straight, not bumpy, and fairly flat.
Emperor Qiantai was not like other kings who only lived in the palace of the capital and enjoyed themselves. When he was young, he went to the battlefield and shared life and death with the soldiers. When he was young, he had fun with the people in white dragon fish clothes, so he knew some of the soldiers. their hardships and the misery of the common people.
Emperor Qiantai reduced taxes and built roads, especially the official road leading to the capital.
There are small villages on both sides of the official road. Ji Kuo sat on his horse, pointed to a large courtyard not far from the road and said to everyone: "Everyone, start moving at full speed now. We will live there tonight." In the Gou family courtyard."
"Dog? What kind of courtyard?" Caiwei asked in confusion.
As a great figure in the contemporary literary world, Li Ruijiu hurriedly explained to his disciples, "Caiwei, this dog is not that dog. If you are rich and honorable, don't forget each other. The word "gou" in this sentence means if!"
"Oh!" Caiwei remembered. When she was in middle school, she had studied Zhuge Liang's "Chu Shi Biao". The word "gou" was in that article. To show that she was also knowledgeable and talented, she shook her book bag and said, "I am a commoner, and I work hard in Nanyang. I live my life in troubled times, and I do not seek to learn and reach the princes."
Li Ruijiu didn't expect that a concubine from the Zhongyong Hou Mansion could speak in perfect detail. Although he was overjoyed, he was a little confused and asked: "Caiwei, I am a well-read teacher, but I have never heard this sentence. I don't know which book it comes from." Book?"
Caiwei regrets so much that she lets you show off and let you be arrogant. People in this world have never heard of Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang. How can she explain it?
When she was in a dilemma, she looked up and saw that the Gou Family Courtyard had arrived. She smiled and said, "Master, you see we have arrived. You should quickly find a place to rest!"
Li Houyi grabbed his younger brother and ran quickly to the front of the team. Luck will not happen to his family every time. If he wants to have a good place to stay at night, he must have quick legs and feet, quick eyesight and quick hands to seize the opportunity.
People have a herd mentality. When they saw someone moving first, everyone started running towards the Gou family compound like a duck.
"Master, go quickly!" Caiwei urged Li Ruijiu.
Li Ruijiu became anxious when he saw his two sons disappearing in a blink of an eye. He took his wife's hand and followed her. He turned around and shouted to Caiwei: "Caiwei, tell the master later where Gou Quan's life came from in troubled times!"
Caiwei's little face wrinkled and sighed.
"Are you in trouble?" was Gu Jingzhi's teasing voice.
"Yeah!" Caiwei suddenly had an idea, we are not alone! We are people with a master! I have trouble finding my master! "Second Master, did you hear what I just said?"
Gu Jingzhi nodded, and Caiwei smiled slyly, "My master will ask me the origin of that sentence later, and I will say that you taught me it!"
The problem was passed to others, and she felt relieved instantly, "Second Master, you go find a place to live, I'm going to work in the hut."
The toilet bucket that the two of them had used in the morning had not yet been emptied out. She had stored it in the space. While everyone was rushing to occupy the space, she had to empty the toilet bucket and wash it thoroughly.
Caiwei happily went to the hut, but Gu Jingzhi had no choice but to shake his head and follow the crowd to the main room.
"There are two for two in the main house, one or two in the side rooms, two hundred bucks for each in the woodshed, and one hundred bucks for the stables! The bunks are limited, first come, first served!" The Gou family kept shouting, and their home received visitors all year round. The prisoners who are distributed are all clearly marked with fair prices, so they are innocent!
It's his grandma's, and he still needs money for the stable? It's not as good as Donglai Inn! "What should I do if I don't have money? Where can I sleep?" Li Houyi asked angrily.
"Don't be anxious or get angry if you don't have money. Our Gou Family Courtyard is a big yard and a big place. You can live wherever you want!" It means that you can live in any open space in the yard, and you have to pay for any partitions.
Some people wanted the main room, and some wanted the side room. With his hands empty, Li Houyi took his younger brother to squeeze out of the crowd and looked around the yard. There was no dry place, and he couldn't sleep standing up like a horse! The two brothers frowned in worry.
"Brother Houyi, hurry up and come with me. I've booked the main room, and my uncle and aunt have already entered the room and are waiting for you!" Gu Jingzhi said very kindly.
Luck came to his family again because of Prince Gu. The situation was like this. If he didn't accept his kindness, the whole family would have to sleep on the dirt floor. Li Houyi hesitated for a while and let him go.
It is said that the room is actually a Datongbu, which is similar to the one Caiwei lived in when she first entered the Zhongyong Hou Mansion. There are two long Kangs opposite each other, with men sleeping on one side and women sleeping on the other, separated by a cloth curtain in the middle. When there are really many people, there is no distinction between men and women, they are all sent to the frontier as prisoners, what else do they care about!
Of course, we can first arrange the same gender. As they are both caring for the family, it is natural for Song Wanru and the others to be in the same room as Caiwei and the others.
Cai Wei was in the back of the bunk, Gu Jingzhi was next to her, then Gu Jingchao, the eldest lady, Cai Lian...
There was no way, Gu Jingzhi just couldn't stay away from his concubine. Without her, he couldn't sleep and would have nightmares all night long. As soon as he closed his eyes, Yin Ling was holding the poisonous soup bowl, and Song Wanru's vicious laughter kept recurring in his dream.
"Mother, the eldest brother and the second brother can live in this bunk, and so can I. I don't trust you, mother, I must be by your side to take care of you!" Gu Jingxing said that the golden sore medicine was coming, and applied it to Song Wanru in a corner. Where the shackles have worn the skin.
The golden sore medicine was applied to the wound, and it hurt like a bee sting. Song Wanru took a breath, and her second son's words made her suppressed emotions burst out, and tears flowed down.
Her father failed in his rebellion and was executed, but she did not shed any tears. She didn't shed any tears when her home was ransacked and exiled. She did not shed any tears because her husband, whom she loved all her life and gave birth to two sons for, resented her for treating her like a stranger. Jing Xing was only twelve years old, but he already knew how to care about his mother, and she cried with joy.
"Okay, Jing Xing, you are my mother's good son. Having a son like this is the greatest blessing in my life, Song Wan!" she said with choked sobs.
"Mrs. Gu, what you said is wrong. Madam, you not only have the fourth son but also a good son. I watched the second son Jingzhi, supported his father all the way, properly arranged the affairs of your Gu family, treated your aunt with gentleness and courtesy, and treated your brothers and children. I will take good care of you and be the best son of the Thai Dynasty for me," Li Ruijiu said.
Is Gu Jingzhi a good son? Whose good son is his slave Yangzi? Song Wanru's physical strength had reached its limit after two days of exile. Li Ruijiu's words were like putting a bundle of straw on a camel walking in the desert, finally crushing her. Being good at forbearing, she looked at Gu Jingzhi fiercely, tilted her head, and fell on the kang. .
