Clam Pearl

It doesn't talk about how Gu Yunjing kowtowed to Gu Zhao, nor what gift Gu Zhao gave.However, she said that today, Mrs. Lu was too busy, sitting in the main room and chatting with Gu Yan early in the morning. While talking about family affairs, she kept looking out. On weekdays, there were not many close relatives at home. Lu's younger generation came to visit, and Lu Shi was busy.Moreover, Gu Yunjing's whole body did not have the temperament of a child of the Gu family. He was actually a handsome and refined boy. The Lu family really cared about him.

Lu Shi thought for a while, and suddenly burst out laughing.

Gu Yan, who was sitting on the side and was thinking about something, looked up at her: "It's quite a demon, why are you smiling?"

Lu pursed her lips and said, "I just think that one is my uncle and the other is my 24-year-old grandnephew. I didn't go there, so I can figure out what's going on. The uncle and grandnephew See you, it must be funny.

Thinking about it, I feel like I've picked up some cheap fun, master, tell me, Yunzhen and Yunping are both older than their seventh uncle grandpa at home, but I don't think it's nothing, why is that kid Yunjing here today? I just felt that wherever I put it, I felt that his little uncle and grandpa didn't look like that!hehe!That's right, that kid Yunjing, who understands etiquette, is also handsome and delicate, and I don't know how the second brother raised this Baolai? "

Gu Yan thought about it for a while and was also happy. Usually at home, Gu Zhao always showed his maturity.He behaves like a man and does things in a way that he can't describe. In short, he doesn't think eighteen is like eighteen.In addition, Gu Yan was used to him, and even the whole family avoided Gu Zhao when they saw him.

Fear is born out of fear, so naturally no one takes him as if he was his age.

Now that Gu Yunjing is here, this kid is also a good one.There was an indescribable scholarly fragrance all over his body, and he just chatted casually this morning. This kid went on a study tour with a famous teacher. He has been to many places, and he understands the world.The more books you read, the more you know the truth, and people will be more transparent.

Maybe that's the case. In the early years, brother also went out all the time. He also went to Haizi quietly, and he also had the sense of being the master of the family. Therefore, it is good for the children to go out and swim around.Hey, from now on, the children in this family should read a few more books, and invite famous teachers to take them to run often when they are free, so as to cultivate their temper.

Seeing that Mr. Gu was doing well, the more he thought about the group of unsatisfactory members of his family, the angrier he became. Seeing that Mrs. Lu was still there praising him, he snorted and said mockingly: "With a group of girls, all of them It smells like rouge, what's so good about it. It's not manly at all!"

When Lu heard this, he naturally knew that he was sour, so he covered his mouth and said happily: "Look at what the master said, I can't blame others for allowing it. Didn't my sister-in-law Pei Fen (Gu Shan's wife) come to write letters in the early years? Master forgot?"

Gu Yan was puzzled and shook his head.

Lu thought for a while and helped him remember: "That year, Pei Fen wrote to ask for a prescription, saying that the little grandson had been sick all the time. The child Yunjing was also a poor child. He was not easy to raise since he was a child, and he had nosebleeds every now and then, and his eyes were red. Afterwards, the master went to the doctor's house a few times, and asked for a child to send to Beidi. Unfortunately, the child just didn't recover, and everyone said that he was too young to raise.

Later, the sister-in-law and daughter-in-law went to a Taoist temple in Beidi to seek amulets. There happened to be a Taoist temple owner in that Taoist temple, so she made a divination to Yunjing, saying that Yunjing was born at the time of the sun, the sun, the moon, and the sun. too busy.The family needs to find more girls who were born in cloudy years and days to stay by his side, that would be good.

There are some things that are just so strange, ever since Yunjing was given these symptomatic girls to serve beside her, the child no longer has nosebleeds or fevers, the master said, what an evil thing this is! "

Gu Yan thought for a while, but there was such a chapter, it was just that there were many nephews, nephews and grandchildren, and he forgot about it after a long time.

This man's mouth was broken when he was old. Gu Yan thought for a while, and then told his old wife about his disciples. Come in and say, everything is ready there.

What Tao Ruo's family talked about was Guangdetang.

Guangde Hall is the same as Guangde Palace. Nowadays, the houses of aristocratic families have a set of buildings like this. It is just that the palace is expensive, and Guangde is used for general purposes, but the family wants to use Guangde as a meeting place at home.

Both Gu Zhao and Gu Yan are elders separated by two generations, so there is no need to go to Jiefengjiu. After all, Gu Yunjing is the grandson of a concubine, and only Gu Maode, Gu Maochang, and Gu Maobing are there to accompany them.Naturally, Shang Yuanzi, Xiangliandao, Yuanyandao, and even the main branch sent people of the same generation to meet the wind together.

Starting tomorrow, Gu Yunjing, accompanied by his fourth uncle Gu Maochang, will go to various houses to recognize faces and pay respects to the elders.After all, Gu Shan is also a first-class important minister now, and Gu Yunjing entered the Guozi School.

After Gu Zhao saw Gu Yunjing, he came to Mr. Gu's yard alone without anyone else. He had some ideas and wanted to talk to his elder brother.

Gu Yan was naturally happy to see Gu Zhao. He was too busy to accompany his younger brother recently, and his younger brother didn't come here often. Now that he was here, he was alone again. Knowing that he had some private things to say, he turned away. , to sit with him in the garden.

"Brother, I see that everyone in the whole house likes Yunjing very much." Gu Zhaoxian opened his mouth.

Gu Yan nodded, looked at his younger brother's face and asked, "Does my younger brother have some opinion of him?"

Gu Zhao shook his head: "No, it's just that someone else has an opinion. Tell your brother, just listen to it."

Gu Yan sat down quickly, with an appearance of listening carefully.

Gu Zhao looked at the distance, thought for a while, and said, "I have been here in Beijing for almost two years. Although I don't like to go out, I have heard a lot of gossip about the famous families. They are nourished by three to five hundred years of poems and books, the elegance that penetrates into the bones, and the upbringing that flows into the blood.

Now... If the Gu family wants to protect their future status, then study poetry, books, rites and music, and win the crowd of such a wealthy family, in the eyes of my younger brother, it is too late. At least, when you and I are alive, He can't see the result, maybe he won't be able to see the death of Maode in the future. "

Gu Yan was surprised, and said: "Could it be? It's not right to read books and learn etiquette?"

Gu Zhao chuckled: "Humanity, there is specialization in art. Our family started less than a hundred years ago, but we are still Wu Qi. No matter how hard we try now, in the eyes of the aristocratic family, we are still not as good as the main branch. My brother also saw that the main branch is not as good as us in every way. There are too many families, but what? I still look down on you and me, and treat us as one-time warriors, so vulgar!"

Gu Yan naturally understands this truth, not only his own family, but what about today's Zi's family?The family is also looked down upon.Others say that to be an official, whether it is self-examination or examination, the children of aristocratic families are inherently better than the poor, not to mention the cultural education that has been deeply rooted in the bones for hundreds of years.

"Then brother, what should we do?" Gu Yan asked for advice.

Gu Zhao looked at the ancient locust trees in the yard, and said with a smile, "Heirs of military affairs, powerful families of martial arts! From now on, the direct line of the family will only go to the martial arts school, only produce military generals, and only study martial arts. , You must be prepared to take care of your worries! You don’t need it, if you don’t use it, it must be the Gu family!

The way of poetry and writing can only be understood a little, and if you can't compare it, don't compare it.In this way, within one generation, our family will have a great foundation, and it will only take more than ten years to catch up with the aristocratic and wealthy families. "

Gu Yan asked again: "However, there are quite a few people who have learned crooked things now."

Gu Zhao chuckled lightly: "That's not urgent, Maode has already figured out a way, and they discussed this matter a few days ago, just arrange it, but don't waste this generation that can be grasped. Brother, think about it, you are determined now. Next, that is the ancestor's rules, if Maode is to change it, it will be very difficult, and there will be many clan elders who will only smash their teeth."

Gu Yan sat for a long time without speaking, his eyes became brighter and brighter, he finally let go of the heaviest thing in his heart, so... that's fine.Thinking of this, he turned his head, stood up and bowed deeply to his younger brother, and said, "It's just that younger brother gave up the benefits to older brother for nothing, in my heart..."

Gu Zhao stood up and patted his brother's shoulder pretending to be deep: "Hey, you old guy, you are already beautiful in your heart!"

Gu Yan thought for a while, then nodded: "Well, there are indeed some."

Gu Zhao made a cut, and then talked about another topic.He did this because he had his own ideas in it, and now it's more difficult, but it's also for the century-old foundation under the big tree that can enjoy the shade all his life. Of course, he won't tell his elder brother about this, but he doesn't know that what he said promote.

The Gu family in Pingzhou Lane has the essence handed down from generation to generation, and the general policy of the Gu family has been passed down from generation to generation, and has never been changed.

Fifteen years later, the frontier tribes gathered and eventually became hidden dangers.At that moment, the Son of Heaven was furious and waved his hands to order his troops. Just looking at Pingzhou, five young marshals, more than 15 young generals and military advisers came out.Suddenly, the world was shocked!After this battle, the Gu family walked towards the road of a powerful martial arts family.Until the years passed, the empire was annihilated, and the position of emperor changed over time, but Pingzhou Gu never disappeared in the court. Later history books, the study of Gu family generals, eventually became a subject until a thousand years later.

Not to mention how Gu Yunjing went to Guozixue together with Gu Maochang, Gu Maobing, and the brothers at home with a knife and pen bag on their waists.

It's just that at the end of July this summer, Bi Liangli took all his servants and Mr. Yu Geng to the Southland.

On the surface, Bi Liangli went here to pick up his relatives and visit his stupid old father along the way.

He went here, but he brought a set with him, which took all of Gu Zhao's painstaking efforts. Gu Maobing wrote it, and Gu Zhao transcribed the finished "Record of Incarnation" in a thin gold body that is not available in this place.

This book, the whole book is not as huge as Gu Zhao imagined, it is only [-] to [-] words.Neither Gu Zhao's Romance writing method nor Gu Maobing's opera writing method were used.The way of expression it uses is the simple way that general historians record major historical events.

Even so, it was revised nearly fifteen times before and after, and it was only completed by polishing and supplementing back and forth.

When Bi Liang set out to go, he would first go to Zhuangzi in the south for resettlement.Then, he would go to a place to get the best red gold, and go to the village in the deep mountains to the south.In the stockade over there, there are many ethnic minorities who have multiplied there for generations, and there are many artisans in the stockade who are illiterate and good at making silver and gold wares.

Coincidentally, Bi Liangli's lover is a female village owner, so divide a book into sixteen villages under the female village owner's command, find the best gold and silver craftsmen, and write the whole book Hit it up, and pay enough wages when the time comes.

The cottage in the south, within a hundred years, I am afraid that they will not interact with people from the north at all.Gu Zhao thought it over, even if A-Run came to the throne one day and wanted to open up the southern land, then he would secure and protect the Qianli Mountain Range near his villa.No one wants to go to that deep mountain and poke out one or two.

Early this morning, Bi Liangli and Mr. Yu Geng came early to say goodbye to Gu Zhao.As soon as Bi Liangli entered the door, he shed tears. Since Gu Zhao was born, he hadn't been away for so long.

Gu Zhao's heart was also sore. Seeing Nai Ge kneeling, he quickly stood up and helped him up, took the handkerchief from his arms, wiped his tears for him, and laughed and scolded as he wiped it, "Yeah Nai Ge, I thought Ah Zhao It's a nursing baby, I live with my eldest brother, but you have nothing to worry about."

Bi Liangli didn't care about him, but he was still sobbing and crying, unable to utter a word.

Gu Zhao had no choice but to let him hold hands.If it is said that there is always someone Gu Zhao can't let go of in this world, his elder brother is the first, A Run is the second, but Bi Liangli and his nanny are the third in the world.Gu Zhao will always remember that when he was young, his nanny loved him and always walked back and forth in his arms. At that time, nanny was also young, only about ten years old, and he stumbled behind his nanny every day. Sometimes, when grandpa was walking too fast, grandma would shout, "Slow down, daddy, Ah Li has short legs."

In a blink of an eye, he grew up, and the nanny was stupid, and the one who accompanied him was this nanny who would never speak again.

Bi Liangli cried until he felt bored, and then he stopped crying.

Gu Zhao finally let go of his hand, wiped his tears, turned his head and Gu Zhao began to give orders to Yu Geng again.

"gentlemen."

Yu Geng hurried over, gave a half-respect, and said, "Seventh Master, if you have something to say, tell me."

Gu Zhao smiled: "Mr. Yu Geng has been with Gu Zhao for more than a year, right?"

Yu Geng nodded: "No."

"Well, my husband is transparent, and I can't hide anything from my husband's eyes. Gu Zhao is a lonely person. In this life, whoever treats me well, I will treat him well forever. I have known you for more than a year. You have learned a lot from Mister, and there will be important events in the future, Mr. Yi Zong." Gu Zhao showed a very kind expression on his face.

Yu Geng was also moved: "It's all a matter of duty, just give orders to Seventh Master."

Gu Zhao nodded, took an account book from one side of the table, and handed it to Yu Geng: "This is the roster of Zhuangzi Guantou, the owner, and the owner of the land in the north. This time, after the husband has gone, it will be three years. The income in the village and the income in the orchard should be calculated carefully. How much grain is produced in the village and how much mass production is produced in the orchard every year. That proper person is on top."

Mr. Yu Geng agreed wholeheartedly, but felt embarrassed for a while.Those are all local snakes!

Gu Zhao is also sneering in his heart. The Zhuangzi in the south of him has grown up, and the orchard has swept across an unknown number of areas. Basically, there is one here and one there. I bought it again this year and planted a lot of fruit trees. Just measuring the place is a big project.Settle the accounts, calculate the accounts, and calculate the expenses and prospects. After these are done, the nurse's business will be almost done.

Yu Geng took the thick brochure, not daring to show any discomfort on his face, he naturally showed a full chest.He was about to say something about his determination, but Gu Zhao spoke again: "Mr. is going to bring back a lot of special products. You must pay attention to one thing. These southern fruits have many characteristics, from picking to packing. , get on the car and pass the scale, and check it every day along the way. The fruit begins to rot there, and the fruit is easy to store and transport. The roads, trails, and mountains should also be written down one by one."

It was really hard, Mr. Yu Geng finally froze for a moment, but he still responded with a wry smile.

Seeing Yu Geng taking over the work, Gu Zhao took another bottle of elixir from the table on one side and put it in his hand, saying, "Mr. is from Shangjing, so he must be afraid of miasma. I have a secret bottle" "Anti-Blade Pill", sir, if you feel unwell, you can take a pill."

Hey, this is a good thing. If the plague-avoiding pill is really useful, I will report it when I get back, but it must be a great contribution.Overjoyed, Mr. Yu Geng took the bottle and was about to put it in his sleeve when Gu Zhao spoke again.

"It's just that there is one bad thing about this anti-plague pill. After taking it, you will definitely feel drowsy every day, and your energy will be very low. However, sir, it is not for marching and fighting, but just sitting every day. This medicine is still very effective. It works, I got this prescription that day, and it took a lot of effort, if it wasn't for the high cost, I would have wanted to make it in batches and sell it."

Yu Geng was curious, so he asked, "It's so precious, but I don't know how much it costs?"

Gu Zhao just smiled: "Hey, it's not much, just a bottle of two bottles. The money is small, but the materials are hard to find. After my grandma is gone, I will ask him to go to the mountains to find some herbs and help my husband make more. A few bottles."

Yu Geng quickly refused: "How much can I eat, it's so expensive, it's only for Qiye's own use."

Gu Zhao smiled kindly at him, turned around and took another booklet and handed it to his grandma, and said with a hint of coquettishness in his tone: "Grandma, there are my favorite dried meat, fruits, and wild vegetables on it." Tea, and a list of more than a dozen kinds of southern furs, after you go, go to the mountains and collect them for me, and I will give them to my brother and sister-in-law."

Bi Liangli nodded again and again, and finally couldn't help it, so he stretched out his hand to pat Gu Zhao's head, just like he did when he was a child.Gu Zhao was a little shy, but still pressed his head against Grandma's palm: "Brother, go hug my grandpa for me, and say hello to my sister-in-law. You are not allowed to steal the special products I brought to my sister-in-law and nephew on the road."

Bi Liangli's face turned red immediately, and everyone in the room burst into laughter.

This group of people chattered at home for a long time, and later, there were Xizai, Xinzai, Mianmian, who waited for the slaves brought from the south every year, and they all took the parcels and used the private money they had saved in the past few years. Please ask Bi Liangli to take back the rewarding good things.

After all the fuss, it was already noon, so Bi Liangli left with a group of people reluctantly.

Gu Zhao didn't shy away from the distinction between master and servant. After all, Brother Nai was different from others. He rushed to the gate and stayed there until he couldn't see anyone.

I don't know how long he stood there, but someone behind him said in a low voice: "Brother, don't panic, we have done what we have to do, now let's resign ourselves to fate, let's see the good fortune of the Gu family!"

Gu Zhao didn't turn his head and said softly: "Good fortune, good fortune is always made by man, brother, don't worry, there is nothing easier and safer than Yu Geng to escort him." After finishing speaking, Gu Zhao turned to look at his brother , grinning at him and said: "Brother, how could Ah Zhao be flustered, brother is here! The fortune of the Gu family is great!"
