The sturdy life of crossing

Chapter 143

Although the exposure of Jian Dong and Jian Leyang's backgrounds has made all parties in the capital ready to move, but Mrs. Gu is living a very high life these days, no, he even invited the He family to visit the mansion, and personally led them around the mansion .

"Look, my nephew and brother Yang sent it over, and I specially sent someone over to install it for my old man. Not to mention the glass windows are so good, the room is much brighter during the day, it's me The old cold legs are also much better because of the glass windows. Oh, my nephew and Brother Yang are so polite. How much money are these glasses? Do not install them all...

The old man Gu was spitting, his face was rosy, and he introduced to He Xiyu dancing and dancing. He heard the corners of He Xiyu and other He family members twitching. The He family reminded Gu Min, otherwise the Gu family would still be in the dark, but now they have the face to show off in front of their He family, I really want to punch this old guy's embarrassing face flat.

Gu Min also twitched the corners of his mouth when he heard it. How could he have thought that his cousin and nephew would be so generous? He was quite envious when he heard a few children come back and say how good the glass conservatory at his cousin’s house was, and how convenient the glass windows were. But within a few days, Brother Yang brought someone over to measure the size, and the next day, the whole truckload of cut glass was delivered. In one day, all the windows in the mansion were changed, and they said they would He helped build a glass greenhouse in the mansion, but stopped when his father refused. He knew that it was because his father felt that the Gu family had done nothing and deserved it.

"Don't be surprised, my father is really happy, but I think Yunzhang is not special about these things. Speaking of which, my cousin's family has been taken care of by Yunzhang in Xindan County. We should also thank Yunzhang." So father It's kind of rude to show off like this.

"Uncle Gu is being polite. Yunzhang understands the old man's mood. Before in Xindan County, I said that I took care of Uncle Jian. It would be better to say that Brother Yang and the others took care of me. Otherwise, I would not be able to go so smoothly in Xindan County. Not to mention making achievements." He Yunzhang said modestly, and he was telling the truth.

Gu Yinlin glared at He Yunzhang vigorously, and actually called Jian Leyang so affectionately. Is this deliberately showing off that he has an unusual relationship with Jian Leyang?He had seen through it long ago. Others thought He Yunzhang was a modest gentleman, but in fact he had a bad stomach and a lot of thinking.

Mrs. Gu heard this, and waved to He Yunzhang cheerfully: "Boy of the He family, come to my old man's side and talk to me about the situation in Xindan County."

At this time, He Xiyu smiled secretly at Gu Min with his hands behind his back. When it comes to the relationship with the Jian family, his nephew is no worse than the Gu family. If the nephew puts more effort into his tone, Jian Leyang, the elder brother, can become the daughter-in-law of the He family.Of course, at present, he can only look wildly in his heart. If in the end his nephew would rather go in through the door, wouldn't it be cheap for the Gu family?So these words must not be released first, lest Gu Min seize the opportunity to laugh at him.

He Yunzhang respected Mrs. Gu, and Mrs. Gu loved to listen, so he picked up what he could say, such as Uncle Jian's reputation in the local area, the respect students and parents had for Mrs. Jian, and how Uncle Jian's father-in-law was a butcher, but He is generous and loyal, and he takes good care of Jian's family. Jian Leyang's deeds are more, such as the rice straw fish farming that he initiated to increase the income of the people, and the development of aquaculture and fruit tree planting. Without Jian Leyang's initiative, he would not be able to promote it in the local area. Without the help of the Canghe Gang, he would not be able to turn what the common people planted and raised into money, and Jian Leyang opened a school in his Zhuangzi so that all the children in the Zhuangzi could have books to read and talk eloquently.

Although there were some minor disasters and disasters in Xindan County during the three-year tenure, the lives of ordinary people are much better than before. It is not easy to promote the model, and it requires the cooperation of the government and local merchants. As far as I know, some wealthy households in the south of the Yangtze River have adopted the method of raising fish in rice fields.

If the common people raise it, there may not be a way to sell the fish in the fields. How many officials really care about the common people, even the court didn't pay attention to it, and the brochures sent by He Yunzhang did not make much trouble.

He Xiyu paused, knowing that Jian Leyang is an outstanding brother, but after hearing this, he felt that he had underestimated him. This brother is not only outstanding in military strength, but if he were a man, he would make great achievements. Destined to be tough.

Old Mrs. Gu was proud, Gu Min was ashamed, and Gu Yinlin was ashamed. In the past, he thought he was a talent in the capital, but facing a brother like Jian Leyang, he felt ashamed, even compared to He Yunzhang, he was much inferior.

"What does Jinshi Jian think this time? Should he stay in Beijing and enter the Imperial Academy or be released?" He Xiyu asked Old Master Gu.

Old Master Gu asked, "What news did you get?"

He Xiyu thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid some people may not be willing to let Jinshi Jian stay in the capital."

Old Master Gu frowned and said, "It depends on my nephew's own opinion."

He Xiyu nodded: "It's best to make a decision early. If it's released, choose a suitable place as soon as possible." To avoid letting other people do things behind their backs and take people to a place where they can't reach.

Old Master Gu nodded, and after the He family left, he hurriedly asked his confidant to accompany him to Jian's house.

When the confidant arrived at Jian's house, Father Jian was actually discussing the matter with Jian Leyang in the study. Hearing the words brought by Mrs. Gu, they glanced at each other. It seemed that their preparations were not in vain, and some people couldn't wait He really wanted to send their family out of the capital, lest they stay here and do bad things.

Jian Leyang, who sent away the Gu family, turned around and said, "Father, I thought that you and your mother would be able to settle down in the capital, but I don't want to be tired from running around again, and Wen Yuan is too."

"What's the matter, don't you see that your cousin Gu Jin also stayed outside for seven or eight years before returning to Beijing. It's good to go out and take a look while you are young. Your mother and I are far from being unable to walk. At this point, your younger brother also needs to broaden his horizons and practice more, Brother Yang, you should decide on this location as soon as possible, and Dad will cooperate with you." Father Jian smiled, and this time he can support Brother Yang.

Jian Leyang circled a place on the map on the table with his hands: "Father, let's go here as a family."

Father Jane happily said: "Okay, it's about the same as what father thinks." Because Father Jane knows that his brother Yang's current development focus is on the sea fleet, so it is necessary to occupy a favorable location near the sea, and Brother Yang has been controlling the fleet remotely, which is not conducive to the control of the fleet. After a long time, it is prone to problems.

After returning to the mansion, the confidant told the old man Jian Dong's reply. The old man was not very surprised by this result, and in his opinion, it would be better for Brother Yang to leave the capital for a while. Er Jiang's power in the capital has almost been recovered, and the Gu family is guarding him, so there will be no major problems here, even for the Gu family, if there is a crisis in the capital, Brother Yang, who is outside, can also take care of the Gu family in time Going out is an excellent choice for both parties.

Thinking of those people's thoughts, Mrs. Gu sneered, no matter whether they wanted to test Brother Yang and Gu's family, or to do something on the way out, it was doomed that their wishful thinking would come to nothing, and they would find out in the future that they were going to A tiger that can eat people indulged. Of course, even if they wanted to trap Brother Yang in the capital, it would not work.

"Old master." The concierge hurriedly came to report, "Mrs. Nanping is out to see the old master." Speaking of which, the uncle who was waiting outside was still an aunt in the mansion, but all the servants of Gu's mansion knew that this status was very taboo. Well, even though that one was married from the Gu family, it may not be that the old lady will recognize her.

During this period of time, things in the Uncle Nanping's mansion were full of turmoil. The servants of the Gu's Mansion felt that the Uncle Nanping's mansion had gone too far, and they were also very disappointed with the uncle's wife. Unexpectedly, I have not noticed it for more than 30 years. If Jian Jinshi hadn't been so ambitious and ambitious, maybe he would never be able to recognize the old man in this life.

"Father, Mrs. Nanping is here?" Gu Min and Gu Jin rushed to the old lady's place after receiving the news.

The old man chuckled a few times: "She can finally get up, and she is willing to come out of her Buddhist hall. Let her in. I also want to hear what she thinks."

"Yes, old man, please invite Mrs. Uncle in." The concierge hastily left again. Gu Min and Gu Jin glanced at each other without expressing their opinions. , neither of them showed up, no matter what the result is, they will know sooner or later.

For the second wife, Qiu Shi, she felt that the old man was too cruel. No matter what, Nanping uncle's mansion is more powerful than Gu's mansion, and Gu's mansion is so ruthless, it may not be the reason for Chen's arbitrary and reckless actions. She doesn't know why. The Gu family are all so stubborn.

"Sister-in-law, how do you think the relationship with the Nanping uncle's house will be resolved?" Qiu Shi thought it would be great for Gu's house to help Jian Dong regain the position of the son, but there are people who don't want the position of the son, unwilling to recognize their ancestors and return to their clan, and would rather be an orphan outside Soul ghost, really can't figure it out.

The eldest lady twitched her lips when she saw Qiu's expression. My brother and sister thought things too simply, and knew too little about the Gu family.

Different from her younger siblings, she is very satisfied with her life in the Gu family. The Gu family has a clean and upright family style, and the men in the Gu family can only take concubines unless they are forty and childless. Compared to other noble ladies in the capital, she lived a very comfortable life.

The younger brother and sister are living in the blessings but don't know the blessings. Isn't it good for the second brother to guard her and live alone?I don't have the troubles of concubines and concubines, but I want to marry my daughter and elder brother into that class of people to suffer, and I think it's for the sake of the children. It's really blind. The second brother's intention is that the two children are born well, and she likes it very much. of.

"Then let the old man and Gu Min worry about it. We just need to follow their arrangement." The eldest lady shook off her veil and wiped the corner of her mouth with a light smile. She also looked down on that aunt.

"Brother has always respected sister-in-law, and elder brother will not refuse to listen to sister-in-law's opinion." Qiu said tentatively.

The corner of the eldest lady's mouth curled into a sneer, and she covered it up by drinking tea: "Siblings think that the old man has made up his mind and will listen to the younger generation's persuasion? This matter is that Gu Min and the second brother can only listen to the old man honestly." So don't Pretending to be smart.

Qiu's heart was startled, she pursed her lips and fell silent.

Mrs. Gu was helped down from the sedan chair, and looked up at the gate of Gu's mansion, with a look of nostalgia in her eyes, how long has it been since she came back, the eldest brother is cruel, if the mother is still alive, he will not allow the elder brother to act like this treat yourself.

While coughing softly, he walked slowly in the familiar yet unfamiliar mansion. The servants around him were all unfamiliar faces, and even the scenery had changed a lot. When they got married and returned home, the whole family was waiting at the door. It was so lively at that time.

When he walked into the hall where the guests were received, Mrs. Gu was already out of breath, her face turned pale, and her body needed the support of the woman beside her so that she did not fall down. The old man Gu could not bear to see such a dear girl in his eyes, but after all He still suppressed it, and if he couldn't bear her, he would drag the entire Gu family into trouble.

"Sit down, come see me and say anything you want to say." The old man Gu picked up the tea bowl, and slowly flipped the floating tea leaves with the bowl lid. Gu Min and Gu Jin stayed behind the old man obediently, lowering their eyebrows It was pleasing to the eye, except for light panting and coughing, there was no other sound in the whole hall, and it seemed strangely quiet.

At any rate, some servants brought some tea and fruit to Mrs. Gu, but this posture was obviously for entertaining guests, not for her own family.

Gu said with difficulty: "Brother, I had someone send a few letters to me before. At that time, I really couldn't get out of bed. My sister has suffered a lot these years."

"Heh" the old lady Gu dropped the bowl cover, made a crisp sound, put the tea bowl on the side, and sneered, "It's just that you are poor, and you are still alive. You should thank that Chen for saving your life. Do you think she didn't want it?" What is your life for?"

Gu shi felt cold all over, thinking of Chen shi's usual cold and warm greetings in front of her, it turned out to be a hypocritical play, tears rolled down: "Brother, what is that bitch doing?"

"Do you think it's because of the surname Jiang? You're wrong. It's because you're afraid that if you lose your life and lose the last link with the Gu family, you will marry a man who desperately wants to marry. I said it at the beginning, don't come back and beg for anything in the future." We, we will bear the consequences of the man we choose." Gu Min and Gu Jin's eyelids twitched, especially when they saw the crumbling Gu family, the two brothers regretted staying here, and they should have avoided it. is.

Gu's face turned even paler. She didn't know until now that she was deceived by the combination of Xianggong and Chen. It turned out that the two had an affair for a long time, and she took the initiative to help Xianggong carry Chen into the mansion.
