Blissful Days After Widowhood

Chapter 118

Views:

In the afternoon of the same day, Gu Yincai and Wu Qingyi came back from the outside—after all, the wild flower was transplanted by Wu Qingyi, so they stayed for a long time.

Because of rolling in the flower field, the two of them were stained with grass clippings on their bodies and heads, and there were also many mud spots on the hem of their clothes.

Fortunately, the snow ran like a gust of wind, Wu Qingyi protected Gu Yin in his arms again, and escorted her back to the camp to change clothes and wash. No one saw her embarrassed appearance.

Gu Yin had just packed up, and not long after Gu Ye came over.

The mother and son didn't talk properly for almost three days. When the two met, they said in unison, "I have something to tell you."

Gu Yin let him speak first.

Gu Ye sat at the table sorting out his thoughts, and after a long while, he told Feng Yu what Xiao Luzi had done wrongly and persuaded him, and said, "I set a goal in front of my mother before, saying that I should be the prince first. I didn't expect that I haven't become a prince at the moment. I'm just a king, and some people have already guessed my intentions to do things. Feng Yu said that this is called "what's good for the top, the bottom will follow", I am very touched. After being in front of others, you should naturally be more cautious in words and deeds, if someone else asks you about my preferences…”

He was raised by Gu Yin. If others didn't know his likes and dislikes and wanted to inquire, they would not dare to dance in front of Emperor Zhengyuan and Queen Zhou, so they would naturally ask Gu Yin.

Gu Yin said: "I can save it. The Queen Mother asked me about it before, but there is no one else yet. Don't worry, if it is anyone else, I will block it for you."

Gu Ye nodded, "Mother might as well let me know while you are blocking me, so that I know who is too 'smart'."

Like Xiaoluzi in this incident, he just made a mistake and wanted to express his merit too quickly, so he made his own decisions without even asking.

Such a person is too clever. If it wasn't for the sake of Xiaoluzi being Qian Sansi's apprentice, Gu Ye would not dare to use him in the future.

"It's not convenient for me to tell Eunuch Qian. When he visits our restaurant next time, mother might as well give him a few words."

Qian Sansi liked the craftsmanship of the chef in Huaiyang, who was called by the heavens. Before he went out of the palace and stayed in the outer house, he went to the food for the day once.

Gu Yin nodded and kept this matter in mind.

After talking about what happened, Gu Ye's dignified expression faded, and he asked his mother what did he want to say just now

Mentioning this, Gu Yin had a shy look on her face, and her voice became softer, "Today your uncle asked me if I would like to marry him."

Gu Ye learned a lot during the class, and human etiquette is a very important lesson.

When a man and a woman get married, they have to worship the church.

Gu Ye said strangely, "Didn't mother and uncle get married long ago?"

Gu Yin couldn't say that the first Gu Daya was not herself, so she used Wu Qingyi's rhetoric, "At that time, it was done in a hurry and simple, your milk killed a chicken, and found me a red head rope, which was lighted at home. The oil lamp is fine…”

"That's it." Gu Ye nodded, "Then our family has a good life now, so we must have a good time. Has the day been set?"

"Your uncle said it will be the Qixi Festival this year."

Gu Ye calculated in his mind, "There are still four months left. I will be assisting in the palace exam in April, and there is no arrangement for the future, so I can make time to help my uncle."

After Gu Ye finished speaking, he didn't hear his mother answer immediately, so he looked over.

Gu Yinzheng watched him nervously, and Gu Ye couldn't help laughing, "Why do you see me like this? Am I right?"

Gu Yin shook her head and said no, "I promised your uncle first, but I was afraid that you would disagree, so I wanted to tell you about it as soon as I came back."

"Why should I disagree?"

"Isn't that in front of you..."

Gu Ye nodded knowingly, then laughed again, "What mother said is the old yellow calendar. It wasn't long before I went to the Wenhua Hall for class, so I told my uncle not long ago."

Having said this, Gu Ye scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "Of course, Zhier Mo Ruomu, I think mother also knows that at that time I felt that I had less time at home anyway, so I couldn't stare at my uncle like before. , that's why you said that."

Gu Yin burst out laughing, "You said that, but you admitted that you treated your uncle as a thief before."

Gu Ye raised his eyebrows and said that wasn't it

"I wasn't there when Niang Xiantou married him, how do I know if he is worthy of you?" Gu Ye said and laughed to himself, "But the time when the emperor was abolished in the previous dynasty doesn't count, only from It has been several months since I went to Beijing last year. My uncle, you, and my grandparents treat me the same. They treat me as my own family, and I know that. I have I was also thinking, when I was last year, why did my uncle and grandpa treat me so well? Later, I went to school and learned a lot. I learned a word called 'Love House and Wu', and I understood. "

After talking about the big one, Gu Ye took another sip of tea, and then said: "Uncle and grandpa love me, naturally because mother and grandma love me. No matter what else, just from this point, you can know that uncle is really a mother. Take it to heart. And the former mother also taught me that to love someone is to make her happy and make him happy. Mother is looking forward to me so much, so naturally I should treat my mother like this. "

Gu Yin's heart was extremely soft, and she reached out to him, wanting to hug him.

Gu Ye leaned over subconsciously, sat up again, and said righteously: "No, men and women are not seated at the age of seven. Although the literal meaning is that men and women cannot sit together after the age of seven, the deeper meaning is that seven A 20-year-old child is an older child, so he should understand the importance of men and women. Like Wu An who used to sleep with Grandma or you from time to time, after his seven-year-old birthday, he just rested in his own room. So even if it's a mother, we have to keep our distance."

Today’s children are all precocious, and he is more useful than ordinary children. Now that he is studying again, there are more sets of principles. Gu Yin can’t tell him at all, and only smiles: “That’s not too bad. God, if you don't hug now, you won't be able to do it later."

Gu Ye was really persuaded, and he looked reluctant, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up, "I really can't help my mother."

The mother and son cuddled for a while, and soon it was evening.

After the winner is settled, the three-day spring hunt officially ends.

Emperor Zhengyuan held a lively celebration feast, rewarding a group of people who showed bravery in this spring hunt.

And at the beginning, a very surprising rookie appeared - Wen Lang of Wen Jia.

We all know that this kind of hunting event will invite civil servants to come, but the children of civil servants generally follow the path of their fathers' imperial examinations, and rarely go to learn martial arts.

The Wen Lang of this literary family is not a mountain or a dew, and he has already reached the first rank, and is only waiting to participate in the palace exam in April.

Gu Yin heard someone mention it when they were chatting in Yashe, saying that although this Wen Lang could not be compared with the old man Wen when he was young, he was definitely much better than his father. When he was admitted to the jinshi examination, the articles he wrote were full of praise. As long as there were no mistakes, he would definitely be in the top one after the imperial examination. The third generation of the Wen family has come to an end.

Unexpectedly, he is still a both civil and military.

On the third day of the hunt, Wu Qingyi did not end. Duke Lu was embarrassed because of the romantic affair, so he asked for grace to return to the city in advance. In addition, the number of people who ended up on the last day was much less than the previous two days. Lang came out on top.

Gu Yin used to work in Wen's house and met Wen Lang several times.

In his impression, he was still a young boy, and like his father, Master Wen, he liked spicy food.

When she was tinkering with the skewers, Wen Lang followed behind Mr. Wen without a word, rolled up his sleeves to help with the skewers, and inhaled hotly.

I didn't expect it, but it's been a few years, and now when I meet again, he is already a young man, and he is so outstanding.

After a lively celebration feast, Emperor Zhengyuan and Wu Qingyi both drank too much.

Emperor Zhengyuan was happy that the new dynasty was established soon, and he had already shown a scene of harmony and prosperity between the ruler and his subjects. As for Wu Qingyi, needless to say, it was naturally because Gu Yin agreed to marry him in the morning.

He was really happy, his eyes straightened and his feet staggered. After returning to the camp, he sat on a chair and was foolishly happy. Gu Yin twisted the handkerchief and wiped his face, and he happily gave it to him. He wipes.

Seeing this, Mrs Wang couldn't help but said, "It's a pity that the two children have both fallen asleep, or else I would have died of laughter behind my back when I saw him so stupid."

If this were in modern times, Wang would definitely be the kind of parent who would take out his mobile phone to take pictures when he saw his child making a fool of himself, and read it out from time to time for the whole family to reminisce.

Fortunately, there is no such thing as a camera at this time, so Wang Shi just bit his ears with Gu Yin, and then said helplessly to Wu Qingyi: "How could I give birth to such a silly son as you!"

"Mother, I'm getting married! I'm getting married!" Wu Qingyi couldn't see his mother's dislike at all, and happily announced the good news to her.

In the evening, after Gu Yin's mother and son finished speaking, they told Wang the news.

Therefore, Mr. Wang was not surprised, but he couldn't bear Wu Qingyi's constant talk, so Mr. Wang could only answer him, "Mother knows, mother knows!"

"Mother, I really thank you very much," Wu Qingyi smiled and suddenly her eyes turned red like a child, and took Wang's hand, "When you bought Yin Yin back, I thought you were messing around. Now think about it. , or the mother has eyes."

Wang Shi patted his chest and said that was not the case.

"At that time, I thought that our big girl was not an ordinary person." She never mentioned that it was because Gu Daya was cheap, so she changed her mind halfway. "Although it didn't show anything in the first few years, but in the next few years. , doesn't it seem like I... How come that word comes, look far ahead!"

Their mother and son held each other's hands quietly, and they were more excited than each other.

Gu Yin came in with a bowl of honey water, pulled their hands in a funny way, and said to Mrs. Wang, "He's drunk, why is my mother messing around with him? Tomorrow's morning, I will leave for Beijing, and my mother should go and rest. "

Wu Qingyi's wine is not bad, although people are confused, but they just talk a little more and don't make a fuss.

Wang shi did not stay to take care of him, and went back to his own house.

Later, Gu Yin coaxed Wu Qingyi to finish drinking the honey water, and asked Wu Qingyi's servant to take him to take a shower and change into bedclothes.

Back in the room, Wu Qingyi didn't talk much anymore, but his eyes were still straight, and he didn't need Gu Yin to coax him any more.

He was drunk today, and he would definitely feel uncomfortable getting up tomorrow morning, so Gu Yin wanted to change with him.

The two agreed that they would get married in half a year, so Gu Yin asked tentatively, "Or should we sleep on the same bed?"

Anyway, even on the night that he ate the deer blood, Wu Qingyi didn't behave in any way. Gu Yin naturally felt relieved that he loved her so much.

Unexpectedly, Wu Qingyi immediately shook his head and said, "No, I'll sleep down there. After the salute, we can sleep together."

It is more particular than Gu Yin.

He fell asleep soon after he lay down. After Gu Yin went to wash up and came back, she didn't even mention her rest.

Early the next morning, Emperor Zhengyuan led a hundred civil and military officials back to the court.

After three days of rest, everyone became busy.

Wu Qingyi was busy for a while, but Gu Yin was busy. She hadn't gone to eat for three days to check the bills, so she had to shoulder the responsibilities of the owner.

Fortunately, shopkeeper Zhou and Ge Zhuer are both smart people. Even if Gu Yin is not around, they can take care of the business in the store.

So Gu Yin was only busy for one day, and the next day was the same as usual, only going for half a day every day.

At this time, Mrs. Wang was also busy. Last time, the two children were married by her head. This time, the two children are going to become real husband and wife. Naturally, Mrs. Wang has to help.

It was half a year later, and there was another incident in front of me. In late March, it was Gu Ye's seven-year-old birthday.

This was Gu Ye's first birthday after recognizing his ancestors and returning to the ancestral ancestry. Of course, Emperor Zhengyuan wanted to take care of him.

His Royal Lie Mansion has been open for some time, and it has not come in handy. This time, Emperor Zhengyuan ordered someone to go to King Lie's Mansion to organize a lively birthday banquet for Gu Ye.

There are only servants from the palace, and there are no other masters in Prince Lie's mansion. Naturally, the British public mansion will help and lead.

Gu Ye solemnly told his mother in front of him that he should understand the defense of men and women at the age of seven. He didn't just talk about it, he did it—

He had a small quilt on Gu Yin's bed before, because he would go over to talk to Gu Yin from time to time at night. It was too late to speak, so of course I fell asleep by the way.

After returning from the outfield of the city, Gu Ye consciously carried the little quilt away without anyone mentioning it.

When Gu Yin came back from Shiweitian that day, she saw what Wang Shizheng and Wu Zhong were talking about, and their expressions were a little solemn.

Gu Yin asked if there was something wrong with Gu Ye's birthday banquet

Wang shi shook his head and said, "It's not about Xiaoye, it's the two imperial doctors that His Majesty placed in our family before. Today, I came to your father and I and said that now your father is in good health and needs daily maintenance, and they are done. After the mission, it is time to go back to the palace."

Gu Yin nodded slightly understandingly, "Mother takes good care of Dad, and there are still old doctors in the mansion, so there really is no need for the two imperial doctors to stay outside the palace all the time."

People's imperial physicians eat imperial food, and although treating the imperial people in the palace is more risky, since they have brought this bowl of rice, they are naturally rushing to the future. While staying in the British government, although Wu Zhong and Wang Clan treated them with courtesy, they certainly couldn't help them get promoted.

Since Wu Zhong's body is no longer in the way, people don't want to stay any longer, just let them go.

Wang is not a narrow-minded person, so logically, he would not struggle with such trivial matters.

Gu Yinzheng was surprised, and Wang continued: "I didn't feel anything before, thinking that people serve His Majesty and have been in our house for so long, let them go back if they want to go back. Then they went back in the afternoon. I went to pack my luggage and left, and then I asked someone to clean up the yard where they lived before, and I learned something from the little servant who served them."

The two imperial physicians did not bring anyone from the palace. The servants who served them were servants of the British government. Naturally, the two imperial physicians went outside the temple two days ago to ask Shen Hanchun for the Ping An pulse, and then they lit a lamp and boiled oil after returning He wrote a letter to contact his former colleagues, and turned around and proposed to return to the palace.

This is coherent, who doesn't understand it

Wang Shi sighed and said, "That girl is also considered to be related to our family. She was sent out from our family to recuperate. You said that she has a good or bad outside, not to mention whether it will affect our family's reputation, you just miss her. At such a young age, it is unbearable.”

Wang Shi was soft-hearted towards the younger generation. Shen Hanchun had saved Wu Zhong's life, knowing that she was dying, and it was reasonable for Wang Shi to feel uncomfortable.

"It's human nature to live, get old, get sick and die. It's not something we can control." Gu Yin comforted.

Is it not someone who has any feelings, Wang Shi also put away the sadness and sorrow, "Yes, I was thinking of giving her a dowry, and now that she is like that, I will not mention the dowry and so on, and keep the money. She spends her own money, which is all her kindness for saving your father."

Gu Yinfu nodded again, "But she is sick and weak, and there are only a few maids who went out from our family. If you give a lot of money, it may cause disaster for her."

"If you're thoughtful, then don't give cash. Didn't I just buy the next property for our family, so I'll share some of it with her. That shop has income all the year round, so it's considered a job for her. If it doesn't work, let's not take back those shops, and donate them in her name, as a prayer for her."

This matter was discussed, and the family was still busy for Gu Ye's birthday.

First of all, it was the food to entertain the guests on the birthday banquet. On this point, Emperor Zhengyuan pointed a few imperial chefs to help, and there were also chefs from the British government. If it was not possible, he could also ask the shopkeeper Zhou to come and help, so it was a good solution. .

Gu Yin first asked the royal chef to draw up the menu, and then asked her buddy who was always in charge of buying to buy it along with the servants of Prince Lie's mansion, so as to avoid the situation of shoddy charging or cheating of money by making false accounts.

Then it's time to draw up the guest list.

The family of the British public mansion must be there. At the public residence of Lu Guo, which is comparable to the British public mansion, Gu Yin only posted a post to Feng Yu at first.

But thinking of what Gu Ye said before, to be more cautious in front of people, and not to show your likes and dislikes in a big way, Gu Yin and Gu Ye discussed it, and they still invalidated the previous post and wrote a new one. Zhang invited them to go up and down the house.

Fortunately, the turmoil that broke out during the previous spring hunt has not subsided. It was when Qin Shi and Feng Yuan were ashamed, and they replied that Qin Shi was still not in good health. Feng Yuan had been serving in front of the hospital bed for a long time, so as not to be sick. After passing people, only let Feng Yu be the representative of the whole family at that time, which is also in line with Gu Ye's heart.

This family is too light to deal with, and the others are very simple.

Gu Ye asked Emperor Zhengyuan for advice. When Emperor Zhengyuan saw that he could be so fair to the Duke of Lu, he simply asked him to come according to his grade, and all civil and military officials above the third grade sent posts.

After the post was sent, the reply was received very quickly.

There are actually a lot of things above. Most of the officials naturally come to the banquet from the whole house. They can't come or they can only send a representative. Except for some really special circumstances, most of the rest are with Lu The Duke's Mansion has an unclear relationship, either Feng Yuan's former colleagues and subordinates, or they have a marriage relationship with the Feng family, and there are many entanglements.

After Gu Ye finished his homework that night, he compiled a list.

Gu Yin accompanied him to sort it out, and seeing him frowning at the list, she pondered and said, "You know the people above, and they have nothing to do with our family or you. , just treat it normally, don't bother."

Gu Ye squeezed his brows and said, "Yeah," and said slowly, "I used to think too simple. Before, I only thought that Lu Xu and I are the same father's child, and we have the same background. All I need is Better than him, let him believe in me, the only good thing is naturally mine. I learned today that this is not the case, it turns out that there are so many people in the dark who are competing with me. "

"There are a lot in the dark, and more in the light." Gu Yin was in charge of sorting out the list of guests who would come to the banquet. There were many more people on the list than those who didn't. She pointed to the road above. : "Look at the civil servants, there are Mr. Wen, Mr. Li ... The generals have our family here, as well as some old troops like your uncle."

The expression on Gu Ye's face became a little more relaxed, "Yes, although the generals are divided into two factions, the civil officials are headed by Mr. Wen. Speaking of which, it is thanks to my mother. You think I am so lucky, I have you. Such a beautiful and gentle mother, she has taken care of me for several years without you, Uncle and Elder Wen know who I am?"

Gu Ye's words were not simply blowing rainbow farts, but it was the truth.

Wu Qingyi is a pure minister, and will not participate in the struggle of the prince's faction, and it is impossible for the British government to go further. There are only disadvantages and no benefits to participate in it.

If it wasn't for Gu Yin, whoever Emperor Zhengyuan was optimistic about, Wu Qingyi would definitely help someone, and he wouldn't have already separated the relatives among several princes when Emperor Zhengyuan hadn't set up a prince.

Not to mention Mrs. Wen, because of Gu Yin, the old man grew up watching Gu Ye since he was a child.

It is precisely because of this friendship that when Emperor Zhengyuan announced to the world to recognize the retrospective, he named him a king. When the first censor jumped out to raise objections, Mrs. Wen ruthlessly went back. No one else dared to jump out again, and Gu Ye became the Lie King so smoothly.

"And if I didn't have a mother, I, a wild child living abroad, wouldn't have the capital to come to Beijing, and I wouldn't be able to see the grandmother and the emperor's father in the palace. I don't know how many years I will be outside. Think about it. , If I come back in a few years, I will not mention what kind of person I will become, let's just say Lu Xu, this little crying bag is not bad except for being a little sticky now. But being a mother like Feng Guifei , A grandmother like the Qin family, and so many people who secretly support the Feng family teach and push, what will it look like? Our brothers may fight like black-eyed chickens, which is too bad. ."

Gu Yin couldn't help laughing, "It seems to be the case, I'm a cheater of your little brat. But I think you can go back to the right path even without me, it's just a little harder than now."

The mother and son were very relaxed when chatting privately, and sometimes Gu Yin would accidentally bring out some modern vocabulary.

Gu Ye was used to listening, so he didn't ask what plug-in meant.

His eyes fell on the list that he had sorted out again, and the little man smiled with a somewhat meaningful taste.

"Lu Xu didn't even think about fighting my brother, but these people can't wait to start taking sides, so I have to give them some color."

Gu Yin asked him what he was going to do, Gu Ye said first, "Don't worry, mother, I won't do anything harmful." Then he whispered in Gu Yin's ear.

After a long while, Gu Yin smiled helplessly at him, "You are too narrow."

The day before Gu Yechen, he stayed in Xiefang Hall.

Early the next morning, he got up, and Xiao Luzi and others congratulated him first.

In the sound of congratulations, Gu Ye had the illusion that he was celebrating his 60th birthday.

He took out the gold and silver coins that he had prepared for a long time, and gave them to everyone.

Later, when he was dressed, Lu Xu also ran over and said, "Happy birthday, eldest brother!"

As he said that, the little thing pouted and leaned in front of Gu Ye.

Gu Ye blocked his approaching face with one hand and hurriedly asked him what he was doing

Lu Xu said, "My mother and concubine let me kiss her like this every year on her birthday, so she is very happy. It's my first birthday with you, and I'll give you a kiss too!"

Gu Ye was about to say his resignation when Lu Xu broke his hand and slapped him on the cheek.

Well, what's this excuse? He could only ask Xiao Luzi for a handkerchief and wipe the saliva from his face, while saying thank you to Lu Xu.

Lu Xu was very generous, saying that he didn't need to thank him, and that he could give him such a kiss every year in the future.

Gu Yehan's hair stood on end, and goosebumps appeared.

The two didn't talk for a long time, because Gu Ye didn't have to go to class today, but Lu Xu had to report to Wenhua Palace as usual.

Before leaving, Lu Xu said to him, "Big brother wait for me at noon, and I'm going to your house too."

"Have you spoken to your father?"

"I said, the father agreed!"

Seeing that he was going to be late, Lu Xu stopped messing with him, and beckoned Feng Yu to wait for him, and hurried to class.

After that, Gu Ye went to the Cining Palace. The Queen Mother, Queen Zhou, and even Emperor Zhengyuan were waiting for him.

The first half of the day was a day for their family to reunite, and Queen Zhou had already cooked him a morning meal.

According to the tradition of their hometown, Shouxing eats a bowl of longevity noodles in the morning. Combined with what Queen Zhou and Gu Yin inquired about and Gu Ye's preferences, she personally cooked a bowl of elbow noodles.

The elbow was marinated in advance, moderately salty and not greasy.

Since the longevity noodles are a whole piece, Gu Ye sucked the noodles and ate them first, and then ate the soy sauce elbows, and he soon had a round belly.

Emperor Zhengyuan accompanied him to eat the meal, and he had to go back to the front to deal with the official business.

The Queen of Zhou and the Queen Mother had nothing to do, so they naturally accompanied him on such special days.

After seeing that it was noon, Gu Ye took Lu Xu out of the palace and returned to Prince Lie's mansion.

At this time, the gate of Prince Lie's mansion was very lively, and the guests who came to the banquet were just one encounter, and there were many ordinary people watching the excitement.

People in the capital are generally not short-sighted people, and it is reasonable to say that it is not uncommon for dignitaries to celebrate their birthdays.

But what is rare is rare, when Gu Yechen didn't need the guests to give gifts, they only needed them to convert the things that were originally intended to be given into silver.

The real gold and silver sent over did not enter the treasury of Prince Lie's mansion, but all of them were donated to the merit box at the door.

This merit box is naturally used for merit, or for building bridges and paving roads in the capital, or to care for the people in difficulties in the suburbs of Beijing, or to donate to shantangs to raise old and weak women and children who have been displaced by the war... In short, the subsequent use will also be made public. .

This is a great deed that is beneficial to the people, so people shouldn't come and see it

There was a big box at the entrance of Prince Lie's mansion, next to the big box was a bill, and the accountant of the palace was sitting beside the bill.

Whenever a guest comes to the door and donates money, the accountant will keep accounting and sing aloud how much money Mr. XX, his wife and Mr. XX donate.

Then there will be a burst of enthusiastic cheers and applause from the onlookers.

Then listen and listen, someone will find something wrong and mutter: "Why are some of these officials dragging their families and bringing their families here, some of them only have one person to represent the whole family... There are even quite a few who love in Beijing. Those who show their faces don't come to join in the fun?"

Others will say: "You still have to ask? It must be those people and King Lie who don't deal with it!"

"Isn't that right? King Lie is His Majesty's eldest son. Although he is only seven years old today, he knows he cares for the common people and helps the world at the age of seven. Is there anyone who doesn't deal with him?"

Others gave him a foolish look. Although he knew it clearly, it was not easy to elaborate on the royal disputes in front of others.

In fact, many of those who deliberately stood in front of them also got the news in advance, why don't they want to make up for it

But the replies had already been sent, and if they wanted to regret it again, Gu Ye didn't give them this chance at all. He only said that the guest list had already been drawn up, and the banquet and seating arrangements had been arranged, and it was too late to make temporary changes.

These people are also helpless, so they can only prepare more generous gifts.

Gu Ye was really rude, and after that, someone set up a monument of merit to all the guests.

For example, if you come to a banquet in the family house, you must start with the official's house, and if you come alone, you will only write about a so-and-so.

With a single name, without clearly stating the family background, who knows which one is that

Those people who made them lose both their face and their stature!

After the lively birthday banquet that day, Gu Ye gave the heavy merit box and account book to Emperor Zhengyuan.

To engage in such a large-scale charity fundraising is naturally the nod of Emperor Zhengyuan.

It is also worrying. He is not the kind of emperor who only knew a pleasure in the previous dynasty. He wanted to be good to the people, but he had too many thoughts and was in a hurry. The debts that Mr. Wen Er from the previous dynasty took back, a few months have passed. Have used it a lot.

The previous dynasties forced the people too hard, the new dynasties are just when the people's hearts and minds are to be stabilized.

So after Gu Ye proposed this idea, Emperor Zhengyuan immediately agreed.

As soon as someone counted it, Gu Ye collected tens of thousands of real gold and silver in one breath on his birthday. Because there are many people, like the Wen family or the Wu family, who know that this is a charity fundraising, so they give a lot more, and the two hundred taels of silver bills are all piled up!

Emperor Zhengyuan asked Gu Ye if he wanted to subsidize him more privately. After all, it was the first birthday of the eldest son after he recognized his ancestors and returned to the ancestry. It turned into a charity feast for the court to solve problems, which made Emperor Zhengyuan feel very sorry. of.

Gu Ye waved his hand indifferently, "I have everything I need, and I don't usually spend a lot of money. My mother's restaurant still pays me monthly money. I have enough money. Besides, many people don't care about me. The face is to look at your face, the face of the court, knowing that it is doing good deeds is extra generous."

Emperor Zhengyuan laughed admiringly, but he caught a short sentence in his words and asked, "You are not working for Shiweitian, why does Qingyi's daughter-in-law pay you back?"

"My mother is busy, and she has a headache looking at the accounts. The account in the restaurant is mainly in charge of the shopkeeper Zhou. The shopkeeper Zhou likes me and knows that I am a young owner. Of course, he will not take the initiative to tell my mother not to pay me wages. " Gu Ye said nervously: "Father, please don't remind her, how many taels of silver a month!"

He doesn't want to pay tens of thousands of taels of real money, and the wages of a few taels a month are very tight.

Gentlemen love fortune, in a proper way. Emperor Zheng Yuan, who laughed until his stomach hurt, gave Gu Ye the word.
