A scholar of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

While the two were talking, Wu Mei came with a cake, put it on the table and said to Li Ran with a smile, "I made some snacks at home."

"Taste my wife's craftsmanship." Gu Qing got up and left, "I'll go and see if Di Renjie is looking for me."

Li Ran and Wu Mei sat opposite each other and took a bite of the cake. She looked at Wu Mei and said, "It's delicious, I really envy you."

"There's nothing to envy." Wu Mei whispered, "It's just a family."

"Home?" Li Ran lowered his head.

"I admire you very much. Sometimes I think why women are not as good as men." Wu Mei smiled, "I think like you are doing what a woman should do. It's all for your own family. You broke up for the Li family of Zhaojun Old rules, become the head of the family! Instead of watching Zhao Jun and Li’s family fall, you should stand up. I admire your courage and integrity! Sometimes I feel that you are the same woman as me. If it were me, for I will stand up for Gu Qing's family business when it is absolutely necessary."

"It's been so many years, thinking about my original thoughts, I still feel chills down my spine. If it wasn't for Gu Qing willing to help me, I might have become someone else's concubine for the Li family in Zhaojun. , Fortunately, I won!" Li Ran said, "But I won't be honorable, I killed many of my own clansmen, and I became a ruthless woman outside."

"Have you thought about getting married?" Wu Mei asked.

Li Ran remained silent.

Gao Yang watched Wu Mei talking with Li Ran, and felt some crisis in his heart. Li Ran is a very capable woman, and this woman is very resourceful. Seeing her talking and laughing with Gu Qing always felt a little unnatural.

He greeted Fan Jian who was on the side and asked, "Who is this Li Ran, Fan Jian?"

"She is the head of the Li family in Zhaojun." Fan Jian replied, "The head of the family met Li Ran six years ago, and it should be that the family has become a business relationship with Li Ran."

"Six years ago? It's been so long?" Gao Yang was surprised.

"Yes." Fan Jian nodded and said, "The head of the family still admires Li Ran very much. Nowadays, the business exchanges between the Li family of Zhaojun and the Gu family are becoming more and more frequent, and the Li family of Zhaojun is also doing more and more business under the wings of the Gu family. The bigger the family, the owner said before that the Zhaojun Li family would become the number one family in the Central Plains other than the royal family."

"The number one family in the Central Plains?" Gao Yang sneered, "With her alone, our Gu family will become a family of the same generation in the future."

Hearing Gao Yang's proud words, Fan Jian said again, "The princess is right, but the Patriarch once said that the Gu family does not have hundreds of years of heritage like the Li family in Zhaojun. A family needs at least the efforts of more than three generations."

"Three generations?"

"That's right." Fan Jian nodded, "Because the Patriarch said that he was just a duckweed all alone at this time. Back then, the Patriarch wanted to recruit Gu's lineage, but this plan was abandoned in the end, because the Patriarch wanted to raise a family that belongs to us. The Gu family's own background, this family can become a family only after it has an absolute background. The so-called family is just a big family. Rather than saying it is huge, it is better to say that the deeper the background, the better. There are too many side details, the Gu family only needs a big tree with deep roots."

"Does she have any other relationship with Gu Qing besides the business relationship?" Gao Yang asked.

"If you want to talk about other relationships, it should be that Patriarch's disciple Di Renjie is Li Ran's brother-in-law." Fan Jian knew Gao Yang's meaning, "Patriarch and Li Ran only meet a few times a year, but Patriarch's own thoughts, villains really dare not guess."

Gao Yang is still brooding. Everyone is a woman. Li Ran is indeed a very powerful woman as Fan Jian said. As the head of the Li family in Zhao County, she is resourceful and resourceful. If she wants to get married, she will probably consider Gu Qing. From the way she looks at Gu Qing, it can be seen that this woman trusts Gu Qing very much, and she can even obey Gu Qing's orders for some things, but it is also strange. It is reasonable to say that such a woman has become the head of the Li family in Zhaojun. Not even any gossip.

This woman looks about the same age as me. She is still single in her 20s. Although she doesn't look that good-looking, she looks very aura. Wu Mei also has this aura, but she doesn't have it .

Thinking of this, Gao Yang felt aggrieved again. Wu Mei was in charge of the accounts of the Gu family. Wu Mei didn't have this kind of aura before. She took care of so many businesses of the Gu family and held the entire Gu family's wealth in her hands. Her aura The field has also been practiced for so many years, it seems that women who can do things have this kind of aura.

Gu Qing trusts Wu Mei very much. He is able to hand over such a large family business to Wu Mei. He himself is just maintaining contacts everywhere. Many things in the business are handled by Wu Mei himself. Many shopkeepers in Chang'an say that Wu Mei managed well, as if Wu Mei was born to do these things.

"This time I will stay in Chang'an for a while." Wu Mei said to Li Ran, "Let's go to Ganye Temple to pray together."

"Okay." Li Ran nodded and noticed that Gao Yang was watching him.

Outside the hospital, Xiao Sizi was helping Sun Simiao sort out the ginger, "Grandpa, the genius doctor, what's the use of keeping so much ginger?"

Sun Simiao laughed and said with wrinkles on his face, "The weather is getting cold quickly, and many children will catch cold if they don't have time to add clothes. It can be used to drive away the cold. This ginger is full of treasures all over the body. Many children in the village catch cold and have runny noses." It’s coughing again, drink some ginger water, make noodles and porridge with some ginger, it’s all very good in this season.”

Chapter 749 letter

Sun Simiao added, "Give some homemade ginger to the people in the village."

"Yeah." Xiao Si nodded, "But the villagers will have some preparations at home."

"The Gu family is the main family of the whole village. The main family should look like the main family. Sometimes they have to give back to the village during the New Year and holidays. The gifts don't need to be too expensive, just some meat, food, or some small amount of money. "

"How can Gu Qing give such a little money when he is so rich?" Xiao Si said.

"It's expensive, and it's not easy for the villagers to accept it, so I give some home-cooked ones, so that the villagers can feel at ease, and it's okay to let the villagers do some things occasionally."

"I don't understand." Xiao Sizi said while picking the ginger.

After tidying up a large pile of ginger, Sun Simiao relaxed his old waist and said to the little son, "Princess Jinyang will also send some ginger to your father and queen mother."

"Okay, Mingda understands." Xiao Si nodded.

Sun Simiao and Xiao Sizi cleaned up the ginger together. Xiao Sizi has become more cheerful in the Gu family these years, and looks a little ghostly. In front of the elders, Xiao Sizi is still very sensible, and will help the family with things together. It is not suitable for a princess to cook by herself, but there are not so many taboos in Gu's family. You can often see Wu Mei, Princess Gao Yang and Xiao Sizi making cakes together.

Gu Qing came to the study at home, saw Di Renjie and said, "Tell me, what happened to that case?"

"I don't know how to close the case?" Di Renjie said, "This time the incident is too big. The whole Chang'an is waiting for the news from Dali Temple."

Now the only ones who know the truth about this matter are Li Er and himself, or the people around Li Er. Whether Li Chengqian knows that he doesn't know, Di Renjie also has a half-knowledge.

"Since he is innocent, he will be released. If someone asks, he will say that he did not hide gunpowder. Dali Temple does not need to explain any other reasons."

Hearing Gu Qing's words, Di Renjie was puzzled, "Is it really just doing this?"

"Just do this." Gu Qing lowered his tone and left here only when he saw Fan Jian approaching.

Fan Jian can see all this, Li Zhi and Di Renjie are still growing, Di Renjie has too much obsession with being true, some truths do not have to be contested, some concealment is good intentions or it may be a kind of protection, Di Renjie I haven't figured it out yet, but Li Zhi is not decisive enough, too indecisive, less demanding and harsh on himself and others.

Following Gu Qing's footsteps, Fan Jian handed over a bamboo tube and said, "There is news from Erxian Village."

Gu Qing took the bamboo tube, opened the lid, and took out the note inside, which said the information sent by the secret line. In addition to the secret line's own information, he also brought a volume of letters, signed by Xie Baliang himself.

Xie Baliang is still alive as expected. After so many years, this guy has returned to the Central Plains and lives in Erxian Village. Looking at the contents of the letter:

"Gu Qing, it's been a long time. I know you are doing well now. I have experienced too much in these years, and I have harmed too many people in this life. The bloody flesh and blood in the violent storm in Goguryeo is always in my dreams. Wandering, I am a sinful person, you must think I deserve to die, many people think I deserve to die, I even thought about finding a tree to hang myself, but she is pregnant with my child, she is the person I was in The woman I knew in Goguryeo, I didn't want to die at that time, I really wanted to live and watch my children grow up.

Now I live in Erxianzhuang with my wife and son. I can't believe that a person like me can still start a family and hear his children call me daddy. The guy you want to catch is not a guy who likes to kill He just searched hard for his own goal for most of his life. Some people in our lineage pursue longevity, and some people like me just don’t want to admit defeat. For example, I don’t have so much desire for longevity. Each has its own purpose. That person must have something to ask for after doing so much. As long as his needs are met, he will not bother you too much. "

That's all there is in Xie Baliang's letter. According to the report from the dark thread, Xie Baliang is already under the surveillance of the dark thread. As long as he gives an order, he can take him down, but he still hasn't found Fuzheng. He didn't even know if the name Fuzheng was true or not.

Putting away his emotions, Gu Qing burned the letter in his hand and said to Fan Jian, "There is no need to arrest Xie Baliang, let him go."

"Yes." Fan Jian nodded.

"We must find out the situation around Erxian Village."

Fan Jian received the order and said, "My wife, Princess Gaoyang and the head of the Li family in Zhaojun are planning to go to Ganye Temple to pray."

Gu Qing nodded slightly.

It's October in late autumn, and it's almost November, and the residents of Chang'an have quickened their pace when walking through the streets.

Chengfu

Cheng Yaojin was drunk drinking wine with his son, "Boy, are you envious that Xue Rengui went to Tubo?"

"What's there to envy, it's not to go to war." Cheng Chumo said nonchalantly.
