In the evening, the eldest master Gu Zhiming returned to the house and learned that during the day, Xie Mao brought someone to call the door. The eldest man was so angry that he carried the knife and was about to go out to chop Xie Mao.

The eldest wife, Mrs. Zhang, managed to persuade the person to come down.

This is a conflict between the second brother and his brother-in-law, so don't meddle with it.

The eldest master, Gu Zhiming, glared at him, looking particularly vicious, How can this be called blind blending. Xie Mao is too deceiving, he dares to bring people to the door, who gave him the courage?

I wasn't there in the afternoon, and he escaped. If I were in the mansion, and he dared to call at the door, I would kill him without saying a word.

The eldest Mrs. Zhang pouted with disgust on her face.

The eldest man was very dissatisfied, Do you look down on me?

Zhang shi rolled his eyes secretly, They are all officials of the imperial court, who can kill whom? You think you are a general who leads the army outside, and the generals outside the country will not accept the order of the emperor. Is it enough to seal the petition?

This is the capital, at the foot of the emperor, who dares to kill officials without purpose? Do you want to eat Jinwuwei's prison meal?

Let me tell you that the matter between the second brother and Xie Mao can only be resolved by official means.

You are a military general, but you can't play against those civil servants. You have to respect the second brother's opinion on this matter, and don't make trouble.

The eldest man was so angry that he smashed the teacup, Could it be that Xie Mao is arrogant, but can't fight back?

Zhang said calmly: The counterattack must also be counterattacked in the officialdom. Xie Mao can bring someone to the door, but we can't.

The people in the court are watching, the second brother will be a big tree and attract wind. At this time, he must not make mistakes and be caught.

Don't you forget, the Empress is still lying in the palace, do you really think that the East Palace lineage is easy to bully?

Mr. Zhang is obviously calmer and more rational than the eldest master, and he sees it more thoroughly.

The Zhang family has been a military general for generations, living in the capital. Since childhood, Mr. Zhang has been fascinated by his eyes and ears, and he still sees things in the court fairly clearly.

While she can't offer great advice, she knows what can and can't be done. Understand the truth of keeping oneself safe.

The eldest man frowned and snorted coldly, extremely unhappy.

As a military general, it is really humiliating that you can't hack and kill your opponent happily.

He said to Mrs. Zhang, You are a woman of Taoism,

I'm too lazy to tell you. I'm going to see my second brother. This can't be the case.

The old man went out angrily.

Zhang shi watched the eldest master leave with disgust on his face, and he had foreseen that the eldest master would run into a wall with Master Gu.

The eldest man crossed the corridor and walked towards the study.

But he didn't expect to meet Mr. Gu.

The old man Gu jumped out suddenly, startling the old man.

Why did my father come out?

The old man Gu had an unhappy expression on his face, and when he saw the eldest man, he spat at him first.

The eldest man was disgusted, but he couldn't fight back, he felt aggrieved.

The old man gave birth to your two useless sons, and you have lost all my face. Useless things.

The old man Gu pointed at the eldest man and cursed.

The eldest man blushed, who is useless.

Father doesn't know the inside story, so don't talk nonsense.

There is something that the old man doesn't know. After giving birth to the two of you, what did the old man do in his last life!

Old man Gu cried and grabbed the ground, sat down directly on the ground, and started to make trouble.

When Master Gu heard the movement, he walked out of the study.

When Mr. Gu saw Mr. Gu, he jumped up and grabbed Mr. Gu's wrist, Second child, why are you useless. Go, go to Xie's house with the old man, and pull Xie Mao out and beat him.

Master Gu looked impatient, Father, can you stop making trouble? The son has his own opinion on this matter, so you don't need to worry about it.

What's your opinion? What do you say you have? When Xie Mao calls at the door, you should call him back and teach him how to be a human being.

Old Master Xie insisted on taking Master Gu to Xie's house to find the place.

Master Gu asked the eldest master for help, Brother, you take care of the old man.

The eldest man frowned, and winked at the servant first. A few servants rushed up and skillfully lifted Old Man Gu.

The old man Gu cursed, Unfilial children and grandchildren, giving birth to a son is no fart*, two cowards, let the old man down. If you don't listen to the old man's words, the old man will beat you to death next time.

Old Man Gu's voice gradually faded away, and the farce finally ended.

Master Gu sighed, You still have a way, big brother.

The eldest master Gu Zhiming snorted, I told you to train a few useful little servants. Next time the old man is still noisy, you follow my method and directly carry him down and lock him in the yard.

Master Gu smiled helplessly, You saw it too, brother, I've been too busy to touch the ground recently, and the old man's affairs have been neglected.

The eldest man stared at him, What the hell is going on with Xie Mao? He's knocking on the door, so you'll let him get out?

In my opinion, what the old man said was right. You should give Xie Mao an ear scratcher and teach him how to behave.

Relying on the identity of the elder brother-in-law, he is simply lawless, and he does not take our family members seriously at all. In that case, why should you be polite to him.

Master Gu has a very serious face, Brother, this matter is not as simple as you think.

The eldest man snorted, his eyes contemptuous, It's not Donggong, you are afraid of him. Anyway, our Gu family and Donggong can't pee in a pot, and the empress is about to die, so she will tear her face and fuck her. Xie Mao There is the East Palace behind you, but don’t forget, behind you are all the honorable generals. I don’t believe that honorable and honorable generals unite together and can’t overturn a single East Palace.”

Master Gu frowned, Brother, can you stop making trouble? If things are really that simple, how many princes can wait until today? I'm afraid they would have done it a few years earlier.

In short, the time is not yet, this time we have to be patient. If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan. Don't take a wrong step at this time.

The eldest man looked impatient, I just don't like what you guys are doing, I have to take everything slowly. It's been so many years, and it's still like a bird.

Forget it, I can't help you with the affairs in your yamen. But if you need me, just speak up. We two brothers, don't be so out of touch.

Don't worry, big brother, I will definitely not meet you.

The eldest patted Master Gu on the shoulder, Remember, this time, you must teach Xie Mao a lesson. If you can't kill him, you have to take a layer of skin off him.

Master Gu nodded solemnly, I mean exactly that.

The eldest man laughed, So I can rest assured.

At night, Mrs Xie woke up.

She asked someone to invite Master Gu to the Furong Courtyard.

Master, my big brother...

This matter needs to be mentioned again. Master Gu interrupted Xie's words without waiting for Xie to finish.

Xie Shi's face was stunned, and he couldn't panic in his heart.

She opened her mouth and faced Master Gu's serious face, unable to say anything.

In the end there was only a sigh.

The husband and wife were silent for a long time before Mrs Xie spoke again, Luhou's mansion invited a matchmaker to come to the house to say kisses, Mrs. Luhou has taken a fancy to the second girl, and wants to marry the second girl for the youngest son. Please make an idea of ​​this matter, I am It's better to reply Madam Luhou as soon as possible.

Master Gu suddenly frowned.

Xie was surprised.

She thought that for a good marriage like the Luhou Mansion, Master Gu would definitely agree.

Xie shi asked cautiously: Master, is this marriage inappropriate? The second girl is weak and can't be the young grandmother. It is also suitable for her to marry the youngest son of Luhou Mansion.

Master Gu said with a blank expression: This marriage is not in a hurry. Let's wait and see.

Master Gu has doubts in his mind.

Luhou Peiren had a high position and authority, and his position was unstable.

Being in-law with Luhou's mansion, at a glance, it seems to be quite good.

However, when you think about it, the stakes are high.

Master Gu remembered that the Luhou Mansion wanted to marry the Hou Mansion next door, but it was rejected by the Hou Mansion.

After pondering for a while, Master Gu still thinks to wait for a while and talk about it after the situation is clear.

He said to Xie Shi: The second girl's marriage is not in a hurry. If Luhou's mansion asks, you should first come up with an excuse to delay it.

The concubine listens to the master.

While Xie Shi was surprised, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Drag it!

She was not happy to see Gu Jiu marrying to the Marquis of Lu.

Gu Jiu, a sick child, has no qualifications to marry into a high school.

...

The twenty-third day of the twelfth lunar month, a small year.

The Gu Mansion was decorated with lanterns and lanterns, all preparing for the Chinese New Year.

People are busier than usual, but everyone is motivated.

New Year's Eve, you can get a large reward. Wouldn't it be nice if everyone got together to drink and play money.

On this day, Gu Jiu's first business in the capital opened.

Located in Shili Hutong in the south of the city, the people who live here are all civilians in the capital.

In the middle of the hutong, the shop that originally opened a clothing store that collapsed, reopened on this day.

People passing by looked inside curiously, what does this shop sell? Jumei Zhai? I don't understand what the name is.

When Er Zhuang placed the goods at the door, everyone suddenly realized that it turned out to be a shop selling beaded ornaments.

Do I need to rent a shop to sell this kind of stuff?

This boss doesn't know how to do business, so he must close the door within a month.

Everyone shook their heads and left, not looking at Jumei Zhai's business.

The two people who saw the onlookers all left, a little stunned.

Fortunately, from the northwest to the capital, running outside every day, Er Zhuang can be regarded as an experience.

He arranged the goods, and the most beautiful ones were placed on the outermost side, so that the eldest girl and the little daughter-in-law passing by could see the beautiful beads on the door at a glance.

He kept in mind Gu Jiu's advice that small businesses should be tested, and don't panic even if the business is not good. They can afford it anyway.

The shop assistants of other shops are all standing at the door looking around and pointing.

Er Zhuang looked calm, not at all cowardly.

Er Zhuang, has the business started?

Gu Yu brought the yamen's yamen over to give Er Zhuang's business momentum, but also to deter surrounding businesses.

Remind major merchants that the newly opened Jumei Zhai has backers.

If you dare to make trouble in Jumei Zhai and play tricks, you must be prepared to pay the corresponding price.

Er Zhuang grinned, Master Gu Si, why are you here today?

I'm not worried, come and have a look. Hasn't it opened yet?

Er Zhuang smiled and said, At the beginning, take your time, don't worry.

Gu Yu laughed, Yes, the small business is not in a hurry. Just think of it as earning some pocket money for the second sister. Er Zhuang, these yamen servants are specially responsible for the security of the Shili Hutong area. This is Zhang Tou, Who is this……

Gu Yu introduced Er Zhuang to several local yamen servants.

Er Zhuang quickly took out the red envelopes that were prepared in advance and sent them one by one.

Several yamen got the benefit and laughed.

You are Er Zhuang? Don't worry, who dares to trouble you in this area, you find me, and I will stand up for you.

Thank you Zhang Tou. Let's have a drink tonight.

Haha, okay! Drink at Juxianlou at night, make?

Er Zhuang nodded again and again, Make, make.

Juxian Lou is a relatively high-end restaurant in the south of the city. It costs a few taels of silver to eat a meal.

Er Zhuang felt distressed for Yin Zi, but also knew that this meal must be drunk.

As the saying goes, the King of Hell is easy to meet, but the little devil is difficult to deal with.

Don't think that with Lord Gu as a backer, everything will be fine.

It is the people below who do the work. If you don't take care of the people below, it is not enough to take care of the adults.

Gu Yu said: Er Zhuang, you are busy with business, we will leave first.

Thank you, Master Gu Si, thank you Zhang Tou...

Er Zhuang watched everyone leave, heaving a sigh of relief.

The shop guys who were standing at the door to watch the excitement will all come over enthusiastically.

Jumei Zhai has a backer in the yamen, so you have to make friends.

Brother Zhuang, you sell pearl flowers! How do you sell this? I'll buy one for my sister.

I'll bring a pair too. It's almost New Year's Eve, one for my daughter-in-law and one for each of my daughters.

...

Er Zhuang did not expect that Gu Yu took the yamen on a trip and even brought him business.

Jumei Zhai is finally open.

The shopkeepers bought it, and the big girl and the little daughter-in-law also joined up.

At the beginning, everyone was not optimistic about the business, but after the opening, the business did not stop.

Er Zhuang alone could hardly handle it.

On this day, the older girls and the younger daughters-in-law in Shili Hutong were all talking about the pearls and ornaments of Jumei Zhai.

Good-looking, not expensive, and many styles.

It is much prettier than the bead flowers sold by the Xuji shop at the entrance of the Hutong.

Xu Ji Shop is a local old-fashioned jewelry store, but the bead and flower accessories they sell are outdated and unattractive compared to those in Jumei Zhai.

Oh, what are you wearing on your head? It's so pretty, where did it come from?

The eldest girl smiled shyly, Jumeizhai bought it.

What, what? What fast?

Jumei Zhai, a newly opened shop specializing in bead and flower ornaments, very beautiful.

Well, it's pretty, but it's expensive.

It's not expensive. My pearl flower only costs twenty-five cents.

Twenty-five cents isn't expensive, isn't it?

While the women disliked the high price, they secretly thought that they would go and buy a bead flower to wear on their heads tomorrow.

Conversations like this started around Shili Hutong and spread slowly.

Before long, the entire south of the city will know that there is a shop in Shili Hutong specializing in selling bead and flower accessories, called Jumei Zhai.

That shop sells good-looking, inexpensive, and new styles.

This day Er Zhuang had a lot of harvest, he thought, what kind of assembly line work Gu Jiu planned, maybe it could be advanced.

But even if you want to advance, you have to wait for the new year.

After the New Year, I returned to the book, and then I found a few people to start the production line.

He remembered again that Gu Jiu wanted him to recruit talents.

Er Zhuang already had several goals in mind.

After coming to the capital, he wandered around the capital all day, inquired about news, and really got to know some people.

But whether these people are suitable or not, we have to wait for Gu Jiu to make a decision in person.

It's been a busy day, and the day has passed.

As the sky darkened, a lantern was lit at the entrance of the Gu Mansion.

Butler Gu Quan personally went to the concierge to ask twice, Is the second master back?

The porter shook his head, I didn't see the second master coming back.

Gu Quan frowned, the second master still hasn't come back at this time. Maybe it was delayed by the affairs in the yamen.

Senior high school Fu came to ask. My wife asked me to come over and ask, when will the master come back? Today is the New Year's Eve, the wife has arranged a banquet and is waiting for the master.

The housekeeper Gu Quan frowned, I'll go to the yamen to see.

Gao Sanfu's heart skipped a beat, Butler Gu, Master won't encounter an accident, right?

You crow mouth, old New Year, don't you know what to say?

Gao Sanfu raised his hand and hit his mouth twice, Look at my stinky mouth, don't mind the housekeeper.

Gu Quan snorted and rushed to the yamen with the people.

In the Furong Courtyard, the people from the second room gathered together and waited for Master Gu to return, and then they could have a seat.

The sky has completely darkened, and Master Gu has not come back.

Mr. Xie had already sent someone to the concierge to ask several times, but there was no news.

She was a little anxious.

The sixth young master Gu Ting said: At the end of the year, the yamen is busy with official business. Father may not come back until midnight.

Mr. Xie frowned and said, Today is New Year's Eve. When the master went out in the morning, I reminded him to come back early. It's already this time, and I haven't seen anyone yet, so there won't be anything wrong.

Gu Jun shouted: Don't worry, madam, father is safe and sound, and everything will be fine.

Xie was silent.

Gu Jiu frowned. She called Xiao Cui and instructed softly, Go to the corner gate and have a look. If the corner gate of the Hou residence is still open, you should ask the people in the Hou residence if they have any news about the master.

Xiaocui responded and left quietly.
