Lying on the bed, Gu Rong summoned the system, wanting to ask what happened to it just now.

System: [Beyond the scope of the system's cognition, there is a serious stuttering... pause, the system is shutting down and restarting, the host remembers to complete the task as soon as possible. 】

Gu Rong: "?"

He summoned the system again, and there was no sound in his mind.

Gu Rong: "..."

He waited patiently for a while.

The system does not respond.

There was a problem with the system before, and I also said that I would restart it, but it reappeared soon.

This time Gu Rong waited until he was drowsy and almost couldn't hold it anymore, the system still didn't come out.

Is this not coming out?

Gu Rong rubbed his eyes.

He felt it carefully.

The system seemed to be still in his mind, but it just couldn't answer.

Since there is no reply, should we continue to complete the task?

Gu Rong thought about it.

Let's finish it.

After all, completing the task is good for everyone.

If the system really doesn't appear, Gu Rong will be able to do the task much more easily without it in his mind.

What about progress bar statistics?

Gu Rong didn't have any good solutions, and fell asleep without knowing it after thinking about it.

Waking up the next day, Gu Rong thought that he would continue to discuss and prepare to leave the mansion, but he didn't expect that something happened to Liu Shi again.

Wei Shi discovered this matter first.

The Wei family has been checking the account books of the Wei family shop these two days.

Although those shops are not run by Mrs. Wei himself, but every once in a while, Mrs. Wei will look over and read the account books sent by those shopkeepers. One is to know how much his own assets are, and the other is to prevent those shopkeepers from filling their pockets. , or took the money and did not do anything, and smashed the signboard of the shop.

But recently she always felt that the books of the store were wrong.

They also sent Chun Jin to look at her. After all, Chun Jin was a maid, and she always said that there was no serious problem when she came back, and there was nothing Wei could do about it.

For the sake of Gu Rong last night, Wei checked these account books carefully and conscientiously, and finally found the problem.

Some of the silver in her private account was taken away by Gu Tai'an, and the Wei family will also write this part of the money in the account book for verification, but Gu Tai'an will inform Wang Steward or Wei's in advance of how much money he has taken and how much he has used. The housekeeper will help Wei Shi sort out another expenditure item and send it to Wei Shi so that Wei Shi can do the accounting together.

But Wei Shi suddenly discovered that the items of expenses sent by Steward Wang recently were really too much, and some of them didn't even have detailed rules, so they just wrote the word "expenditure" on the list.

The Wei family didn't care about it before, because sometimes Gu Tai'an's expenditures in this area do fluctuate greatly. For example, when there are big festivals or rests recently, Gu Tai'an will be the host, inviting a few official friends to a restaurant, and occasionally watching After seeing some famous paintings and masterpieces by famous artists, they would also buy them back to appreciate or give away to others, but Gu Tai'an would talk about these expenses with Wei Shi to some extent.

There is no big festival recently, and Gu Tai'an has never mentioned anything to Wei Shi about buying, so why are there so many expenses?

Wei went to ask Butler Wang.

Steward Wang faltered, he didn't want to speak at first, but after Wei's repeated questioning, he still said it.

Those accounts were all withdrawn by Mrs. Liu.

Mrs. Liu doesn't know if it's because she has been exposed to it since she was a child, or because she was born with vanity. She really knows the set of officialdom rules too well. She steals brocades to curry favor with Mrs. Gu, and sneaks up and down to pave the way for Gu Zhiyu's future. These are nothing, the key She was the one who left, it turned out to be Wei's private account.

When he thought that all his money was used by Mrs. Liu for those behind-the-scenes activities, and even the money for poisoning Gu Rong might have been paid from Mrs. Mrs. Wei's account, Mrs. Wei couldn't help but want to vomit.

This Gu residence really can't stay any longer, if Wei Shi was still a little shaken and hesitant yesterday, then today she can't wait to leave this place as soon as possible.

At the beginning, she didn't know people clearly.

When he was young, Gu Taian was considered a good-looking talent. The Wei family met him in Tongzhou, and Gu Taian went to the Wei family to propose marriage that day.

Hearing that he wanted his daughter to be a concubine in Gu Guogong's mansion, Wei's father had hesitated back then.

Although their Wei family is in business, it is a family of merchants after all. The family is well off and has no worries about food and clothing. Choose a well-matched merchant's family, marry in and be a regular wife, and live a happier life in the future.

But there is no way, Wei Shi likes it herself, but in the end her father can only agree.

In the beginning, Gu Tai'an's ex-wife was not bad, and she never felt sorry for the Wei family, but somehow things became like this.

It can only be said that everything is Gu Tai'an's own fault.

Wei Shi couldn't swallow this breath, after learning about this, he immediately went to Liu Shi's yard to find her, asking her to explain everything clearly.

Gu Tai'an didn't know whether he was avoiding it on purpose, or because he really didn't know how to solve these backyard matters, so he simply left the mansion early in the morning, and sent his servants to directly block Gu's mansion under the pretext that the officials had something important to do. Wei Shi and Liu Shi went to make trouble by themselves.

This is really unseemly, and if the disturbance continues, another person may die.

When Gu Rong woke up early in the morning, he heard that the Wei family had gone to the Liu family's courtyard, and Gu Tai'an was not in the mansion. The whole Gu mansion might be overthrown.

Gu Rong was really heartbroken, he wrapped his cloak and hurried to Liu's courtyard, he only hoped that Wei would bring enough servants around him, so that Liu would not be really hurt by the quarrel.

Just as there was a lot of commotion, the servant at the door quickly came in to spread the word, saying: "The young master is back! The young master is back!"

Everyone was startled when they heard this.

Gu Zhengchu is back?

That's great!

The Gu family finally has someone to uphold justice!

After an incense stick of time, everyone gathered in the main hall of Gu Mansion.

Gu Zhengchu was full of travel and dust, it is said that he came to deal with this matter as soon as he got off the horse, and he didn't even have time to change his clothes.

He is eight feet tall, four years older than Gu Rong.

In the past two years, there were countless matchmakers who came to Gu's house to propose marriage for Gu Zhengchu, but Gu Zhengchu was stationed in Mobei with General Zhenbei all the year round, and he seldom came back even during the New Year's Eve.

At that time, there were hundreds if not dozens of portraits of girls sent to Gu's residence. Those girls were fat, swallows, and thin, and they were all from various families. There were also many people who were proficient in poetry, poetry, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but Gu Zhengchu was taken aback because no one took his fancy.

Later, the number of matchmakers who came to the door gradually decreased. First, Gu Zhengchu was away all year round, and the killing was too heavy and his life was hard to save. Second, he was too picky. I feel that I am a hot-headed shave, and I might as well go to other people's houses to be a few more matchmakers if I have that leisure time.

However, Gu Zhengchu is indeed a good-looking talent, even though he is covered in dust now, it is still difficult to hide his outstanding temperament.

Some parts of his facial features are similar to Gu Rong's, but in comparison, Gu Rong's eyebrows are softer, while Gu Zhengchu's facial features are sharp and chiseled, perhaps because he has experienced the experience of Mobei battlefield, just sitting There, there is a faint seriousness emanating from the inside out.

As soon as Gu Zhengchu sat down at the top, everyone else was also present.

It is said that he rushed back to take a vacation this time, but he didn't expect such a big event to happen as soon as he came to Gu's residence.

Gu Zhengchu frowned, the creases between his brows hadn't disappeared since he entered the door.

"Steward Wang," Gu Zhengchu turned his head and asked Steward Wang, "Let me tell you what's going on."

Gu Zhengchu was not angry, but Steward Wang hurriedly stepped forward, honestly telling Gu Zhengchu the ins and outs.

Gu Zhengchu said: "Where is the master? The house is in chaos, where did he go?"

"The master is in the official department, and he said he has something to do."

"Go and invite him back."

"Yes!" Butler Wang hurried to go.

The closed door of the Gu residence finally opened again.

"Zhiyu." Gu Zhengchu first turned his head to look at Gu Zhiyu.

Gu Zhiyu has been out of his mind recently. Although such a big incident happened in the mansion, he is not in the mood to make a noise for Mrs. Liu. That day Gu Tai'an locked him in the yard because of Gu Zhiyu's drinking wine outside, so he seemed a little depressed , just stood there without saying a word.

"Brother." Gu Zhiyu responded.

Although he looked down on Gu Rong since he was a child, he was a little afraid of Gu Zhengchu, after all Gu Zhengchu was good at punching and kicking him before.

"Although you have been banned from taking the exam for five years, the emperor has shown mercy to you. After five years, you will be twenty-two, and you will stand before you arrive. As long as you work hard these years, you can still make a lot of achievements in the future. Why do you fail because of this?" I have lost my ambition, and I heard people say that you drank flower wine in a restaurant two days ago, and even scolded the emperor when you were drunk?"

Gu Zhiyu was startled.

At that time, he was a little drunk, and he couldn't remember what he said, but he complained a lot, scolding the emperor... It's not impossible.

But how could Gu Zhengchu know about this?

Butler Wang didn't say anything just now, if even Gu Zhengchu knew about it, it might have already reached the emperor's ears...

Gu Zhiyu broke into a cold sweat instantly.

"If you still want to have a future, let father find you a teacher. You can concentrate on studying within five years. If you can get a Jinshi and rank after five years, the Gu family will be able to benefit from you. If you don't want to make progress, insist If it goes on like this, big brother will definitely not help you."

"That's the end of the story, how to choose, you can figure it out."

After finishing speaking, Gu Zhengchu ignored Gu Zhiyu, turned his head to Liu Shi and said, "Ma'am."

Mrs. Liu was also a little afraid of Gu Zhengchu. He didn't know who he looked like, and his words were always a little cold. Moreover, Mrs. Liu always felt that the way Gu Zhengchu looked at him... was not like the way ordinary juniors look at their elders. It was a look of disdain.

"I don't want to talk too much about what my aunt is doing, but there must always be someone to take care of the affairs of the Gu family. If father doesn't care, Zhengchu can only take care of it. The government will take care of it."

"As the saying goes, 'Family management is strict, and the family is harmonious'. If the father is at fault, the son can also advise him. If this matter comes to the government, Zhengchu is not afraid. The family is well-organized and the country is governed. I believe that as long as the facts are reported truthfully Your majesty, your majesty will not blame you."

Gu Zhengchu cupped his hands in the direction of the palace, and said: "Madam's fault, Zhengchu will not comment on it, as long as it is reported to the government, the government will have its own judgment... Steward Wang."

Butler Wang came up to him: "Young Master."

"Have you gone to inform the master?"

"I have sent someone to go, but I don't know when the master will come back."

Gu Zhengchu looked at the sun outside and said: "Then wait until three quarters in the afternoon, if Dad doesn't come back, we will go to the government."

Mrs. Liu was originally sitting on a stool, but when she heard this, her legs slipped and she sat on the ground.

She knew that Gu Zhengchu would do what he said, so she could only pray that Gu Tai'an would come back soon.

But even if Gu Taian came back, so what?

If Gu Zhengchu insisted on reporting to the officials, then Gu Tai'an would not be able to convince him.

It's not like Liu doesn't know how much he values ​​this eldest son.

A weak and incompetent husband who swayed from side to side, only thinking of calming things down and looking up to him, how stupid is she to pin her hopes on him?

Liu's heart sank a little bit.
