Reincarnated vassal system

"What do you mean?" Du Liyu shook her face directly.

"I thought my aunt could understand people's language, so I'm so sorry." Gu Huai circled around the people in the field of vision, and when he saw a few familiar faces, his eyes almost lit up, and finally his gaze stopped on the one in front of him. On the shopkeeper's face with a big round belly, he felt like he saw a golden mountain.

He immediately ignored Du Liyu, and directly held the shopkeeper's hand, "Thank you, thank you, I heard that you have made a lot of money for me over the years, when will you give it to me?"

The shopkeeper: ...Actually, Young Master Gu Huai, your expression looks more like a bandit now.

"Ahem." Tianxianglou has indeed been making a lot of money these years, and it is not a short-sightedness for the big shopkeeper to be selected by Mrs. Shen to manage Tianxianglou.He looked at the stewards behind him, and said carefully, "Master Huai, these shops are logically left by Mrs. Shen to your father, but Mr. Gu has never cared about them these years..."

"For my father?" Gu Huai nodded, "That is to say, the store deeds are actually with my father?"

"Naturally."

"So that's how it is." Gu Huaiming realized that his father was a careless person, so he probably stuffed those deeds into some corner.These stewards have been like children without parents over the years. They have no stewards at all, and all the money they earn is deposited in the boss's bank.

But now it is not clear whether there are any people here who are filling their own pockets. In ten years, no one will suppress the loyal slaves, and they will probably have to rebel. Can these people really be as loyal as they appear?

As soon as Gu Huai came, the attitudes of these people changed immediately. There was still something Du Liyu didn't understand.Now that her face has been torn apart, she doesn't intend to hide it anymore, she just raised her hand, and the guards outside approached a few steps, "Gu Huai, now is not the time for you to play tricks. You, follow what I just said Do it, all these years, the Duke of Wei's government has done nothing to take over your shop, so don't toast or eat fine wine!"

"Auntie, it seems that you still think that Dafang is easy to bully, doesn't it?" Gu Huai walked up to the guards and gently pushed away the wooden stick held by one of them with his fingers. How much money was taken from the room, it’s hard for my nephew to forget. There’s such a big fight today, do you want to grab it?”

Du Liyu sneered, "Gu Huai, what can you do except open your mouth? I'll grab it today! If you say one more word, it won't be something that can be solved with 5000 taels of silver!"

"I still remember that when my grandma was alive, the guards in the palace led out the majestic soldiers who could fight ten against one. But in ten years, you are so good at it, Auntie, and you replaced them with these shrimp soldiers and crab generals."

"6000 taels!"

"Hey, in this world, gangsters walk the way. Auntie, have you asked the second uncle about this? I don't think the second uncle is such a brainless person?"

"7000 taels!"

"Auntie, let me tell you, you are wrong, you should add [-] yuan to each sentence, and I will not say more than one sentence every time..."

"1 taels!"

"Nonsense!" A yell suddenly came in from the outside, and the guards gradually stepped aside. Gu Shiping appeared in front of the crowd with a dark face. He strode in and scolded Du Liyu right away. , "What are you doing! It's ridiculous!"

Du Liyu felt wronged, "I..."

"Auntie wants to borrow money from my nephew, doesn't she?" Gu Huai interrupted directly, "Oh, but the landlord's house has no food left. Auntie, I'm sorry, but I really can't lend you money! Auntie, the money owed to everyone by the second brother should be raised sooner, I have to drag it with the Tongzheng, it is really sad!"

Gu Shiping frowned when he heard the words, and stopped Du Liyu who still wanted to argue, "Don't worry, I will urge them to pay back the money as soon as possible."

"Second uncle is a man, so my nephew naturally believes it." Gu Huai waved his hands at the stewards, "Gentlemen, it's not suitable to talk about things here, please follow me to another place."

The shopkeeper agreed, "Master Gu Huai, please."

Watching helplessly that the person she almost successfully stopped was taken away by Gu Huai, Du Liyu was furious, but she saw Gu Huai suddenly turn around and gestured with her index finger, "Auntie, 1 taels! "

"Get lost!" She thought that Gu Huai was mocking herself, so she exploded with anger, turned around and gave Gu Shiping a look, "You...husband, you—oh, I'm so mad!"

"Madam, if you succeed in this matter, Gu Huai's memorial will go straight to heaven, and then the money will have to be returned, and the husband will have to pay for it." Gu Shiping explained to Du Liyu in a gentle tone. , "In the future, we should discuss things like this with my husband before taking action, okay?"

"Husband..." Although Du Liyu realized that she was a little reckless this time, she was still angry at Gu Shiping's calm and breezy appearance. The Gu family members were all like this, and it was difficult for her husband to be a good husband. The right servant of Uetobe!She stomped her feet angrily, "How about you just hand over those store deeds to the household department..."

"Ma'am, don't mention this again!" Gu Shiping stopped her directly, but his eyes darkened.He hasn't tried it before, but someone in the household department has repeatedly hindered his actions, but he has never found out who this person is!

Over there, Gu Huai directly took the stewards to his father's study, and asked everyone to stay outside in the living room, while he went directly into the study.

This is the first time he entered Gu Shian's study room, he saw a thick book on the desk, he stepped forward to flip through it, and saw that there seemed to be something stuck in it, he flipped through it carefully, counting ten The Zhang shop deed slipped out.

Gu Huai suddenly remembered that his father had told him that he could use all the things in the study as he wished... He couldn't help but twitched his lips. I use these shop deeds as a stepping stone for promotion... don't you mean?

Gu Shi'an, who was teaching the students in the Imperial College, sneezed hard.

Anyway, regardless of whether it was true or not, Gu Huai simply took the whole book away and walked outside, as if he had reached a road paved with gold. At the end of the road, the big shopkeeper of Tianxianglou smiled at himself with a big round belly. Like a God of Wealth.

……

Gu Zhou, Duke of the State of Wei, Minister of the Ministry of War, and Minister of the Ministry of Punishment are both called the second cotton in the cabinet in the court, which means that these two people are usually soft.The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice can still be said to be tactful, but the Duke of Wei is soft and easy to talk to.

Any of the generals guarding the border sent a memorial to the imperial court to accept soldiers and food, and he had to be sent back by the Ministry of Households if he asked for it in the early court.He has no temper, and he applied again and again, but he didn't succeed a few times, forcing the soldiers on the border to stop counting on him. Fortunately, there have been no wars these years, and the soldiers really had no food, so they collectively expanded their farming. The range of hunting is fairly self-sufficient.

It is also because there is such a soft-hearted Duke, the Duke of Wei's mansion has never been considered the top among the three major mansions in Huajing, even the Duke of Ning, Meng Qing, has been an official for a long time, and no one in the Wang family has a very prominent official position in the court , but because the empress dowager is still alive, it is not a little bit better than Duke Wei's mansion.

For such a Duke, his two wives were both very strong.The first wife, Mrs. Shen, was born in the government of Zhen Guo, with the unique temperament of the Shen family, like a sonorous rose, it is very good that the husband and wife complement each other.

However, the prince of this country has the inferiority of a scholar-bureaucrat in his temperament. With the white moonlight, he has to miss the cinnabar mole.Facing Mrs. Shen's murderous eyes from behind, mustering up the greatest courage in his life, he took the girl from the Du family, who was famous for her beauty, into the door, giving him all the tenderness, carelessness, aloofness and beauty that he wanted in his heart.

But since then Mrs. Shen has also separated from the Duke of the State, but the girl from the Du family, Biyu, from a good family, has won the favor of the Duke, and Mrs. Shen will not say that her husband's love is implicated in this innocent girl. .It was also for this reason that when Mrs. Shen was exhausted by the tragic death of her grandson, she asked the Duke of the State to help the girl of the Du family to be a righteous person, who was later the old lady of the Duke of Wei's mansion.

After the girl straightened her body, her posture was different. Before meeting the Duke, she was smiling and talking, but afterward, the two of them just stared at each other.Not long after Mrs. Shen passed away, the old lady of the Du family started to mention the matter of setting up a son, which annoyed the Duke so much that he would never enter the Shou'an Courtyard.

The stalemate between the two lasted for ten years.

This time Duke Wei heard that his wife had really fallen ill, and suddenly felt unbearable. After he let out a sigh, he still went to Shou'an Hospital.

As soon as he entered the Shou'an Courtyard, he could smell the strong smell of medicine, and the unbearable feeling in his heart increased a bit.As soon as he entered the inner room, he saw the old lady lying haggard on the bed, her face was pale and her whole body was very weak.Naturally, he didn't know that this was the aftereffect of Gu Huaifei's diet pills, but he was already full of shame.

He remembered that he had loved the Du family back then, and that the girl from the Du family under the peach blossoms was as beautiful as a fairy, but now only this skinny old woman was left. He couldn't help feeling sad, and walked over slowly, "Madam... ..."

"Master..." The old lady was naturally not as weak as she showed. Although she really felt that she couldn't keep up her energy after having that nightmare, it was just right for today's scene.She recalled what her niece said to her, and her voice became even hoarse, "Master, we... haven't seen each other for how many years..."

After hearing this, Grandpa Guo felt even more guilty, and after talking to each other a few more words, he asked the old lady what happened this time, but she didn't mention it. In the end, Nanny Zhao couldn't stand it anymore and cried Kneeling down, he told out Gu Huai's bad behavior towards the second room after he was promoted to a fourth-rank official.

In the end, Nanny Zhao wiped away her tears, "When the Elder Master has established a son, how will Brother Huai ignore the old lady!"

Her words shocked the Duke, and after comforting the old lady, he left the Shou'an Courtyard with heavy steps and returned to his study.

The candle lights in the study were lit all night.

However, Gu Huai ran away to the yamen overnight, and directly transferred all the properties of the shops under Mrs. Shen's name to his own name, and followed the stewards to go to those shops one by one to check the accounts. Ordinary people who think they are vulgar are instantly refreshed, and they don't feel tired at all after running all night.

After midnight, he let the dark guard directly carry him back to the guest building. After the dark guard put Gu Huai down, he felt that after this time, Prince Rui's return would really tear him into pieces...

Back in the guest building, the first thing Gu Huai did was sort out all the books that had been recovered. Just as he was about to check them out, he heard a knock on the door downstairs.

It's past time, how could someone come looking for me?Gu Huai concealed the doubts in his heart, and slowly went downstairs. The hidden guard behind him came out from the shadows and protected Gu Huai.

The candlelight went down from the second floor, and the people outside the door seemed to see someone coming to inquire, and whispered, "Fifth brother, it's me, Zhili."

Gu Zhili?Gu Huai waved to the people behind him to hide, and when he opened the door, he saw Gu Zhili hidden in the cloak. "Zhili, it's so late, what's the matter?"

"Fifth brother!" Gu Zhili immediately jumped to Gu Huai and knelt down when he saw Gu Huai, "Fifth brother, please save me!"

"What's the matter?" Gu Huai hurriedly helped him up and entered the room, then closed the door, and helped him to sit down comfortably.Although Gu Zhili was a concubine, no one in Duke Wei's mansion would bully him. Logically speaking, there was nothing wrong with asking a little girl to beg her own brother in the middle of the night.

"I...I've been guarding outside all night before you come back, fifth brother..." The little girl choked, "Fifth brother, my aunt promised me a merchant family, I, I don't want to..."

As a businessman, how could Aunt Du marry her daughter so low suddenly?In Gu Huai's memory, this aunt is synonymous with vanity. After falling into the water last time, this person's figure disappeared in the messy things that the second room did.

He hesitated, "I'm afraid I can't interfere with Aunt Du's thoughts."

"Okay, brother five, your aunt will listen!"

Hearing Gu Zhili's determined tone, Gu Huai became even more skeptical, "If you want to ask me to do something, at least be a little sincere! I'm not your dear brother."

Gu Zhili was taken aback by Gu Huai's demeanor of turning his back on his relatives. Although she was used to being a little cautious, but at that age, Gu Huai's attitude was completely different from the talkative brother she remembered, which made her unable to do anything for a while. After reacting, she opened her mouth and said in a low voice, "...Auntie said that she hoped that I would have fewer battles in the mansion in the future, go to a merchant's family, have a background in the Duke's Mansion, and live a better life..."

Although the level of merchants is a bit too low, Gu Huai still understands Aunt Du's thoughts. It seems that Qi's medicine was strong enough. "Auntie is for your own good."

"But I don't want to!" Gu Zhili was born in the Duke's Mansion. Although she was only a concubine, her heart was higher than the sky, so she would not be satisfied with being a business woman. She got off the chair, knelt down and threw herself on Gu Huai's lap, "Fifth brother, I know you have a way! You are so smart, aren't you?"

"I'm not smart." Gu Huai looked at Gu Zhili's movements, "It's you, I think you are quite smart, you seem to have your own ideas, don't you?"

"Fifth Brother..."

"What do you want to do, just say it, don't go around with me."

"Fifth brother..." Gu Zhili bit her lower lip, and finally expressed her thoughts, "I heard that in a few days, the Queen Mother's birthday, Beijing officials can bring their unmarried children and sisters to participate..."

"Oh—" I didn't expect Gu Zhili's ambition to be so high, "Do you know what the purpose of going here is? This is not a feast for ordinary young masters and ladies to eat, drink and play."

"Zhili understands..."

Gu Huai pointed out Gu Zhili's purpose directly, "Do you want to marry into the royal family?"

"I--"

"In the current royal family, the second prince and concubine are already full, the third prince is short of a side concubine, and the fifth prince is under the age of marriage." Gu Huai pointed out one by one, "If you have this ambition, with your background, the three It is absolutely impossible for the prince's side concubine to fall on your head, you can only be like a madam, do you really want to do that?"

Gu Zhili raised her head abruptly, "Isn't there still an emperor?"

"Your Majesty!" Gu Huai looked straight back into the eyes of his concubine sister, and saw the seriousness in this man's eyes, "The Holy Majesty is almost at the age of knowing destiny, you—"

"The imperial concubine is out of favor now, isn't this my chance?" Gu Zhili was [-]% firm on his face, "Fifth brother, you believe me, I think I am not much worse than Du Guifei, there are three thousand beauties in the harem, and there is nothing missing. Is it just a clear water hibiscus?"

Yugo: ...

【system:……】

Dark Guard:  …

Gu Huai didn't know how to tell this innocent little sister to himself that there are actually quite a few pretty people in the harem, but it's not good to dampen the little girl's enthusiasm, so he had to reiterate, "There may be a big difference in age between you and the Holy Majesty. "

Although there are quite a few young girls in the harem, but Gu Zhili is only looking at Jiji this year, while the Holy Majesty is almost fifty. With this age difference, at least Gu Huai is unlikely to believe that the two can compose a real so-called year-end love song.

"Isn't age one of my great advantages?" This time, Gu Zhili did not hide his ambition at all. "In 20 years, my prince will be an adult, and the best thing is that he will be just in time to succeed this great Jiang———"

Before she could say the word "mountain", Gu Huai directly covered her mouth. Could this little girl have read too many messy Gongdou novels written by Zhu Sheren?

Zhusheren: Blame me?

Gu Huai sighed heavily, if this Gu Zhili entered the palace and was so outspoken, sooner or later the entire Duke of Wei's mansion would have to be buried with her.Although I am very happy to see this situation, but now is not the time.

He knocked her unconscious with a hand knife, and then threw it to the hidden guard, "Send her back to Aunt Du."

Encountered insanity in the middle of the night, Gu Huai can only hope that the weather will not be bad tomorrow.
