Early in the morning, when Gu Jiu came to Chunhe Hall to say hello, everyone looked at her strangely.
Gu Jiu raised her eyebrows, "What are you all looking at me for?"
Xiao Qin'er had a big belly and looked sympathetic, "We all know. Sister-in-law, don't worry too much."
"Know what?" Gu Jiu was confused.
Xiao Qin'er covered her mouth, "It's all a family, why should sister-in-law be like this. The matter of the eldest son is not your fault, you don't need to cover it up for him."
Gu Jiu frowned, "Why didn't I know what happened to the eldest son?"
"At this time, the sister-in-law is still pretending to be stupid. Yesterday, the son entered the palace and was invited to the imperial doctor when he came back. Something happened. Don't worry too much, everything will be fine."
Seeing Xiao Qin'er comforting her solemnly, Gu Jiu couldn't help laughing out loud.
Xiao Qin'er's face turned green.
Gu Jiu said with a smile: "Thank you for your concern, my son is fine, there is nothing wrong."
Concubine Shen and the others all laughed in agreement, "The eldest daughter-in-law is kind-hearted and can think about it."
Gu Jiu lowered her head and smiled, what can't she think about.
These people can really make up their minds.
When Mrs. Pei came out, everyone stood up and saluted.
"Free gift!"
Pei Shi looked at Gu Jiu with complicated eyes, "Boss daughter-in-law, is boss okay?"
Gu Jiu suddenly realized, did even the princess misunderstand
She bowed slightly, and said: "Report to my concubine, son, he is very well, and he is all right."
"yes?"
Mrs. Pei has a snack.
She remembered asking King Ning yesterday what happened to Liu Zhao.
King Ning looked like he didn't want to say anything, and just said: "It's okay, don't think too much about it."
Just the expression of King Ning will make her think more, okay
As a result, King Ning refused to reveal the truth, and said: "I am concerned about Zhao'er's health, so I asked the imperial physician to go to the house to treat him. The imperial physician checked him, and he is in good health. There is no problem."
"real?"
"Naturally it is true. Is it necessary for the king to lie?"
Pei did not believe King Ning's words. Like everyone else, she imagined the dangerous situation in her head, and she was so worried that she didn't sleep well all night.
Seeing Gu Jiu now, she couldn't help telling her: "Take good care of the boss, and tell the kitchen to cook whatever he wants to eat and drink. If the money doesn't come together, this princess will subsidize you. In short, don't wrong the boss."
Gu Jiu held back her laughter, and replied with a serious face, "Don't worry, Concubine Mother, my daughter-in-law will definitely take good care of you."
…
After finishing her work, Gu Jiu went back to the upper room in the east courtyard, and laughed when she saw Liu Zhao.
Liu Zhao closed the book, "What are you laughing at?"
Gu Jiu waved his hand, "Let me finish laughing first, and I'll talk to you later, haha..."
Gu Jiu couldn't help laughing, and Liu Zhao suddenly had a bad feeling.
He looked towards Lin Shuping.
Lin Shuping felt guilty, lowered his head and did not dare to respond.
snort!
Liu Zhao vented his breath through his nostrils, it was simply absurd.
After Gu Jiu finished laughing, she recounted what happened this morning.
"Nowadays, everyone in the palace misunderstands what's wrong with you, and some people suspect that you were beaten in the palace. Haha, the mother concubine also specially told me to take good care of you, just ask for what you want to eat and drink, and don't worry about money. .”
Liu Zhao frowned, and looked at Lin Shuping, "Is everyone talking about me?"
Lin Shuping hurriedly said: "It's all nonsense, the old slave didn't dare to report it to the young master."
Liu Zhao snorted coldly, "Absurd! Ridiculous!"
Then he asked Gu Jiu again, "You saw others misunderstood me, don't you know how to defend me?"
"How do you justify this kind of thing? The more you justify, the more people will think that you are guilty and have something shady. Let them go. After three to five days, no one will mention this matter."
Liu Zhao also understands this truth, and there is no way to explain this matter. He couldn't just say it to everyone, King Ning suspected that he couldn't do it, so he hired an imperial physician for him. The imperial doctor proved the fact that he is very good.
If he really wanted to talk about it to anyone, it was so embarrassing that he wanted to die.
It is better for people to misunderstand that he was injured or what he did in the palace than that he is incapacitated.
Liu Zhao rubbed the center of his brows, very upset.
All of this was caused by King Ning looking for something to do.
"Father is just too busy."
Liu Zhao snorted coldly, full of anger at King Ning.
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "Father also cares about you."
"He wants to see my jokes."
So he had to retaliate one or two, telling King Ning not to be so idle.
When Liu Zhao set out to return to the military camp, he conveniently lit a fire in the palace: he told Mrs. Pei that Prince Ning had secretly saved a huge amount of private money. A few days ago, he even spent a lot of money in brothels, which became a good talk in brothels.
Before Mrs. Pei had time to digest the news, the concierge came to report, and a girl from a brothel came to her door.
Snapped!
Pei slapped her hand on the table, "A vile bitch dares to go to the palace. Hit, hit hard."
"My lord, you can't beat me. The man is holding a post from the prince in his hand, saying that the prince invited her to the palace."
"Ridiculous! It's getting more and more absurd. What kind of place does he treat the palace as? Even the brothel sister dares to invite people to the palace. Is he deliberately disgusting this princess? Send someone to control that sister Get up, this princess is going to see the prince right now. I want to ask him if he still has this princess in his eyes. "
Furious, Mrs. Pei rushed to Bixi Pavilion to trouble King Ning.
What brothel, what sister, after listening for a long time, King Ning finally figured out the cause and effect of the matter.
"You mean, the king invited the brothel sister to the palace?"
"It's not you. Could it be that there are other people in this palace? My lord, how absurd are you in your daily life? Have I objected to what kind of woman you want to accept? But you let a girl from a brothel visit me to disgust me. Do you have any conscience? Are you Do you want to ruin the ethos of the palace?"
"Ridiculous! When did this king call the brothel sister? Could this kind of thing be done by this king?"
"Hmph, that person came to the door with your post, can it be fake?"
King Ning frowned, "Are you sure it's my post, not fake."
"Are you doubting my vision? Can't I even tell the truth from the fake?"
King Ning was full of lawsuits, "Chang En, send someone to find out what's going on? How did this king's name card end up in the hands of the brothel sister?"
"The old slave complies."
Mrs. Pei pointed at King Ning, "People are coming to your door, so it's useless for you to argue. You insult me so much, I want to go to the palace to sue. It's really ridiculous, ridiculous."
"If you want to sue me, I will not stop you, but I can guarantee that you have never given a name card to the brothel sister, and you will never call anyone to the palace. These years, no matter how absurd this king is outside, have you ever sent someone outside? Are those people disgusting you when they get back to the palace?"
Mrs. Pei stared at King Ning, "Then what's the matter with your private house money? The house is almost out of control. Fortunately, you not only saved a sum of private house money, but also spent a lot of money in the brothel and became a good talk in the brothel. Your lord, Where is your conscience? Has it been eaten by dogs?"
King Ning's face turned green, "How do you know that this king has private money?"
"How did I know you were in charge? Just tell me, how much money have you saved?"
King Ning frowned, the more it looked like a conspiracy.
"This king has indeed saved some private money, and this king can also tell you the specific amount. But you tell this king first, where did you know this news?"
Pei's face was stern, "Of course it was Zhao'er who told me. If it wasn't for Zhao'er, I would have been kept in the dark. I was worried all day long that the prince would be wronged if the expenses were cut. But I didn't expect that the prince would have already recited the truth." I saved a fortune. It's chilling."
King Ning gritted his teeth, "I knew it was that brat who ruined my good deeds. Come and call the eldest son. I have to punish him severely today."
"My lord, the Eldest Young Master left the residence and returned to the barracks an hour ago. According to the Eldest Young Master's pace, this meeting should be coming soon."
King Ning was filled with embarrassment, and he said to Mrs. Pei: "You heard, all of this was provoked by your good son. He just took revenge on this king and deliberately added trouble to you."
Mrs. Pei sneered, "What revenge, it's clear that you are not upright. Could it be that what Zhao'er said is false? Are the money from the private house and the brothel girl outside all false?"
King Ning said firmly: "The name card in the hands of the brothel sister must have been sent by Liu Zhao, a stinky brat. He just planted a frame to frame this king. When he comes back next time, this king will definitely deal with him severely." pause."
Pei smiled indifferently, "I never asked how ridiculous you are outside, and I don't have to ask about that brothel sister. However, the private money in your hand has to be used to supplement the family."
Prince Ning was angry and said angrily: "There is no private house money, even if there is, it has already been used up."
Pei's complexion changed, "Does the lord really want to do this? Just now you admitted that you have a sum of private money, and you promised to tell me the specific amount."
King Ning scratched his head, "It's all done by that brat Liu Zhao, he just doesn't want me to live a comfortable life for a few days."
Pei suddenly burst into tears, crying so unpreparedly that King Ning was startled.
"Why are you crying?"
"Isn't the lord telling the truth about my concubine? My concubine married the lord herself, and asked herself that there was nothing wrong with the lord. She also gave birth to children for the lord, took care of the housework, and devoted herself to sharing the worries of the lord. But the lord treated me like this. Chilling."
King Ning's eyebrows twitched, "Okay, okay, why cry about this matter. I only have two to thirty thousand taels of private money in my hand. If you want it, I will give it all to you."
Pei stopped crying, "It's really only twenty or thirty thousand taels?"
"This king doesn't bother to lie to you."
Mrs. Pei wiped away her tears, "Thank you, my lord. The concubine is more respectful than obedient, so I will accept the money. With this money, the public will be able to spend more money."
Ning Wang was heartbroken, "You are really not polite at all, this king said to give you money, and you really accepted it."
Mrs. Pei laughed, "You and I, old husband and wife, why are you so polite. The prince will hand over the account to the concubine, and I will take the money away, so as not to have long nights and dreams."
King Ning became more and more frustrated and depressed.
He waved his hand, "Chang En, give the king's private money to the princess."
Chang En's cheeks trembled, and he felt heartache for King Ning.
My lord, you and the eldest son are really one foot taller than the Tao, and one foot taller than the devil. All in all, the eldest son is still superior.
Chang En took the order to count the money.
Pei's heart was satisfied, and she thought to herself: Zhao'er is worthy of being her own son, and she knows that she is wholeheartedly planning for her. Simply, they pried out the private money in King Ning's hand.
Pei Shi has a sense of accomplishment, and loves Liu Zhao more than two points.
If she came a few more times, why would she worry about not getting enough money.
After taking the silver, Mrs. Pei said goodbye and left.
King Ning was very heartbroken, it was the private money he had saved for a long time, and it was taken away by the princess.
"Traitor!"
King Ning angrily reprimanded Liu Zhao, "Go, send someone to the barracks, and invite the eldest son back."
Chang En reminded King Ning, "Unless the prince goes there in person, the old slave has no way to invite the eldest son back."
"You tell him that his wife is seriously ill and tell him to come back quickly."
"The eldest son just set off for the military camp today. He said that the eldest lady is seriously ill. I'm afraid he won't be able to win the trust of the eldest son."
"Ridiculous! This king wants to see his own son, and he has to find all kinds of reasons. Liu Zhao is a stinky boy, and this king just suspects that he can't do it. He even used such dirty means to take revenge on this king. Do you have any filial piety?"
Chang En didn't dare to make a sound, so he could only lower his head and listen to King Ning's fury.
Facing the air, King Ning scolded Liu Zhao.
After scolding, he felt at ease.
He asked Chang En, "Has the brothel girl been dealt with?"
"According to the order of the prince, the person has been sent away."
"I'm really out of my mind. Who dared to come to your door with this king's name card, who gave her the courage."
Chang En reminded in a low voice, "Of course the prince gave her courage."
"Shut up! Are you deliberately tearing down Ben Wang's platform?"
"The old slave dare not."
"Humph!"
King Ning had a straight face, air was coming out of his nostrils, his nostrils opened and closed, obviously he was furious.
"Go and call the eldest daughter-in-law."
Chang En was puzzled.
King Ning glared at him, "You just go and call someone, I have something to say to the eldest daughter-in-law."
"The old slave complies."
When Gu Jiu heard that King Ning had summoned him, he said inwardly that he was sorry.
Liu Zhao's blame, but she has to take the blame.
Liu Zhao, that bastard, only cares about setting fires, not putting them out.
Gu Jiu rubbed the center of his brows, and said to the visitor: "Tell the prince, Mrs. Rong Ben will go over to pay her respects after changing her clothes."
"Madam, please hurry up, the prince is impatient to wait for others."
"Mrs. Ben knows, she'll be there in a while."
Qingmei was very worried, "The prince won't punish the madam, right?"
Gu Jiu asked: "I heard that the princess carried a box of silver from the Bixi Pavilion and left?"
"Exactly."
Gu Jiu laughed, "My lord must be very heartbroken. I lost so much money all at once, and I can't find the culprit. Forget it, forget it, husband and wife are one, my wife took care of this matter for you."
Gu Jiu set off for the Bixi Pavilion.
When you see the prince, please greet him first.
King Ning kept a straight face, rarely getting angry with Gu Jiu.
Normally, King Ning would not show his face to his daughter-in-law.
In the eyes of several daughters-in-law, King Ning is easy to get along with. The one who is not easy to get along with is Princess Pei.
King Ning asked angrily: "Boss daughter-in-law, you know everything the boss has done, right?"
Gu Jiu pretended to be stupid, "I don't know what the father is referring to?"
snort!
"You should know what happened in the mansion today."
"My daughter-in-law heard a few words."
"Do you know that the reason for today's farce is all caused by the boss? He caused the king to lose money. As his wife, you have to bear the responsibility together with him."
Gu Jiu was stunned, as if he was shocked by King Ning's words.
She said: "Daughter-in-law heard that the mother concubine took a sum of money from the father. The father and the mother concubine are one, and the father's money is the mother and concubine's money. The father gave the money to the mother concubine. Turn the left hand to the right. Why is the father so angry? Could it be that in the eyes of the father, you and the concubine mother are not a couple?"
"Sharp teeth, sharp mouth, nonsense. The princess took away the money from the king's private house, and all of this was caused by Liu Zhao. You are his wife, so you cannot escape the blame."
Gu Jiu looked surprised, "Daughter-in-law never thought that the father would have money from his private house. All the property in the palace belongs to the father, why bother?"
King Ning was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, "Stop talking nonsense. Take out Liu Zhao's private money. This matter started because of him. You husband and wife must not stay out of it."
Gu Jiu lowered her head and smiled, King Ning was also crazy about poverty, and even asked her for money. It would be embarrassing if this got out.
But King Ning's face is comparable to a city wall, so he is definitely not afraid of losing face.
Gu Jiu said with an aggrieved face: "Father also knows that the young master has a lot of expenses. Since the reduction of expenses in the mansion, my young master and I have been unable to make ends meet. The young master did save some private money, only three or four thousand taels. But these two days The moon has been used up. If the father doesn't believe it, the daughter-in-law has the account book here, please look at it."
He even brought the ledger, so he obviously came prepared.
King Ning was very upset. His son was shrewd and calculated, so he let it go. Even his daughter-in-law was also shrewd and shrewd.
It really doesn't make sense.
"I don't need to look at your account book, you just need to take out the money."
Gu Jiu said bluntly, "My daughter-in-law has no money."
