Liu Zhao stayed directly on Zhuangzi and refused to leave. Live an idyllic life with Gu Jiu.
The nickname is: Accompany my wife!
Early in the morning, he was full of energy and interest, and woke up Gu Jiu who was sleeping.
"Let's go to see the sunrise!"
Gu Jiu directly picked up the pillow and threw it on him.
What's wrong!
Just because she and Su Zheng watched the sunrise once, he had to make up for it.
She didn't even think about how late she was in bed last night, how sleepy and tired she would be.
After Gu Jiu smashed the pillow, she rolled up the quilt and continued to sleep soundly with her head covered.
Do you think Liu Zhao will just give up
never!
He is a man who is good at learning.
He has already summed up experience and lessons from the struggle with Gu Jiu.
He didn't urge Gu Jiu either, he just carried the quilt on his shoulders, and carried her up to the top of the mountain to watch the sunrise.
He has already confirmed that there will definitely be a sun today, and it will be a sunny day.
It is rare to encounter such good weather and be able to watch the sunrise, which must not be missed.
Gu Jiu: MMP, the Liu family are all crazy, right
Su Zheng had already left and returned to the capital, but Liu Zhao was still thinking about it. I have to pull her up the mountain to watch the sunrise.
She struggled symbolically twice, and finally gave up.
Forget it, she doesn't care about psychosis.
Anyway, hiding under the blanket is quite warm. And not tired.
The sunrise is magnificent!
However, Gu Jiu was in a daze the whole time, half awake, half asleep, half asleep.
For a while, I looked up at the golden sun hanging in the east, and then I lowered my head and continued to doze off.
When you doze off, think about what to eat today. After thinking about it, I became hungry again.
After watching the sunrise and going down the mountain, Gu Jiu lay on Liu Zhao's back and fell asleep.
Liu Zhao shook his head and complained dotingly, "How can you sleep so well?"
Gu Jiu: Let me sleep, don't disturb me.
After fulfilling his wish to watch the sunrise, Liu Zhao took Gu Jiu to go fishing on a sunny day.
He had already inquired about everything that Gu Jiu and Su Zheng had done together from his servants.
He wants to make up for it all.
Gu Jiu has no objection to fishing, so he has the right to rest.
Accompanied by the autumn wind, warm sun, and a small number of mosquitoes, the two sat on the bank of the lotus pond to fish.
Gu Jiu was holding a book, flipped through a few pages, and became a little absent-minded.
She couldn't concentrate because someone was staring at her all the time.
She closed the book, "Am I pretty?"
Liu Zhao nodded, "It's quite beautiful."
Gu Jiu bared her teeth and grinned at him, "Don't watch, concentrate on fishing."
"Fishing is not in a hurry, it depends on you."
"Come on! You want to coax me with sweet words again. I won't be fooled."
Liu Zhao smiled triumphantly.
Every time Gu Jiu said he would not be fooled, he ended up being fooled every time.
It is clear that the mouth dislikes the integrity of the body, and the typical duplicity is unacceptable.
Gu Jiu glared at him, "Is it okay if you don't go back?"
Liu Zhao nodded, "I have already reported the leave to the Minister of the Ministry of War, and he wished that I would never go back."
"What about the palace? Aren't you going to the morning court? It doesn't matter if you disappeared for so long?"
Liu Zhao laughed at himself, "Who would care?"
Gu Jiu rested his chin on one hand, "Don't you care? It's hard to get what you are today, and you're willing to give it up to others? Hiding in the countryside and doing nothing all day, what can you do?"
Liu Zhao said softly: "I will accompany you. You are not in a hurry when the imperial grandfather asks you to raise funds, and I am even less in a hurry."
Gu Jiu waved his hand, "It's not the same, we are different. I didn't have the right time, but you are willing to give up."
Liu Zhao chuckled, "How do you know that I am willing to give up?"
Gu Jiu looked at him suspiciously, "Are you taking the opportunity to play some tricks again?"
Liu Zhao put his arms around her, "Don't think about it. It's rare to have such a leisurely day, let's spend it slowly together. Don't worry about outside things for now."
Gu Jiu stared at him, "You are a typical example of being neglected by superiors, and you start to slow down your work."
Liu Zhao didn't deny it either, he was just passive and sabotage.
Gu Jiu laughed at him, "The work attitude is not correct enough, no wonder he was left out in the cold."
Liu Zhao corrected her statement, "The order of priority is wrong. It is the first to be neglected, and then the work attitude is not correct."
Gu Jiu looked at him, "Are you holding back some bad water again?"
"think too much."
A sentence of thinking too much sent Gu Jiu away.
Gu Jiu snorted twice in dissatisfaction, but didn't ask further.
Liu Zhao's fishing skills were extremely poor, and he didn't catch a single fish all morning.
He seemed to be discriminated against by all the fish.
On the contrary, Gu Jiu caught two carp, one crucian carp and one grass carp.
Except for the relatively small size of crucian carp, carp and grass carp weigh one or two catties.
A few fish swim around in a wooden barrel. In a wooden barrel, it was empty.
Gu Jiu taunted Liu Zhao ruthlessly, "I didn't expect there to be something you don't know."
Liu Zhao put on a dull face, "There must be something wrong with my fishing rod."
He looked for a reason seriously.
Gu Jiu sneered ruthlessly, "Come on. I exchanged fishing rods with you, but you didn't catch one."
Liu Zhao refused to admit defeat, "Continue in the afternoon, I don't believe I won't catch a fish."
Gu Jiu looked at the sun, "It's too hot in the afternoon, so I won't come. You want to fish, so go fishing slowly by yourself."
Carrying the fish basket, he returned to the farm with a fruitful harvest.
I eat fish at noon, served with various side dishes, and I am very satisfied.
After lunch, Gu Jiu took half an hour to digest before getting ready for a lunch break.
Sure enough, Liu Zhao took the fishing rod and set off again.
It seemed that he was on the hook with the fish in the lotus pond.
Gu Jiu looked at him, wanting to laugh.
Is it really so difficult to admit that you are not good at a certain skill
Look at his fierce appearance, the fish in the water were scared away before they took the bait.
Gu Jiu didn't intend to remind him, let him toss about it by himself.
She held a book, covered her face, and sat in the shade to rest.
Ma Xiaoliu ran in from the outside, "Ma'am, son fell into the water."
Gu Jiu woke up immediately.
Looking at the time, she actually slept for an hour.
"What did you just say? How did you fall into the water?"
"Young Master seems to be trying to catch fish. His feet slipped and he accidentally fell into the water."
When Gu Jiu heard this, she was both angry and funny.
When she hurried to the lotus pond, she saw that Liu Zhao's lower body was soaked and there was still a lot of mud on his body.
His fall was not easy.
Gu Jiu couldn't hold back, he laughed so hard that he squatted on the ground.
"Why are you so stupid? Don't you know martial arts? How could you fall into the water?"
"A horse stumbles, and a man stumbles." Liu Zhao didn't care at all, and walked towards her dripping wet.
Gu Jiu raised her hand to resist, "Don't come over, I don't want to be harmed by you. After working for so long, have you caught any fish?"
Liu Zhao's face was as dark as water.
Gu Jiu saw it and understood. This is not caught.
"Ha ha… "
She mocked him mercilessly.
Seeing Liu Zhao in such a state of distress that he couldn't even catch a single fish was the happiest thing this year.
She laughed until tears came out.
Then he inserted a knife into his wound, "You are so stupid."
Liu Zhao snorted twice, "You fish in the lotus pond still recognize people."
Gu Jiu laughed wildly, and couldn't help complaining: "Obviously you can't do it, but you still have the nerve to blame the fish in the pond, do you want face?"
Liu Zhao was dissatisfied.
Gu Jiu ruthlessly laughed at him again, cheapskate.
"My lord, madam, someone is coming from the palace!"
The boy ran to the pond to report.
Liu Zhao's expression darkened, and he asked, "Who is here?"
"It's Shen Changshi, who said he was ordered to come to see the young master and his wife."
Liu Zhao exchanged a look with Gu Jiu.
He ordered: "Tell him to wait, we will go there later."
"Little one obeys."
"What do you think Shen Changshi was ordered to come here for?" Gu Jiu asked.
Liu Zhao rolled up his trousers, and said casually: "It's nothing more than urging you to raise money quickly, and urging me to return to Beijing as soon as possible."
Gu Jiu said: "I'm used to living in Zhuangzi, and I don't even want to go back to the capital."
"Are you sure about raising money for the emperor's grandfather?"
Gu Jiu laughed, "Do you see that I have done something I was not sure about? I have sent out the hero posts, and when the time comes, the money will naturally fall into my pocket."
Liu Zhao was taken aback when he heard it, he didn't know what kind of hero post it was.
Recently, he was too busy getting angry, so he didn't bother to find out about Gu Jiu's business situation.
The so-called hero post is that Gu Jiu summoned wealthy businessmen from all over the world to gather in the capital.
Through the Four Seas Commercial Bank, through merchants traveling from south to north, heroic posts are widely distributed all over the world.
Wealthy, pursuing and curious wealthy merchants, especially those who have received the first wave of bonuses, are willing to give Four Seas Trading Co., Ltd a face. I want to see what the Four Seas Trading Company is selling this time.
Judging from the situation of Er Zhuang's reaction, the current progress is good.
But Gu Jiu was not in a hurry, she wanted to wait a little longer.
When the two returned to Zhuangzi, they avoided Shen Changshi first, and went back to the house to change their clothes.
Then we went to the side hall of the front yard to meet Shen Changshi.
"I've seen you, my lady!"
"Eunuch Shen is polite."
The three sat down as guests and hosts.
Gu Jiu came forward to chat with him, delaying time.
After chatting for a few words, Shen Changshi suddenly stopped the topic and said, "Time is precious, and our family has to return to the palace to return to life, so it's better to talk about business first."
"Mr. Shen, please tell me."
Shen Changshi looked at Gu Jiu, "Your Majesty ordered our family to come over in person, firstly to greet the son and wife, and secondly, His Majesty wants to know how the money for the repair of the three halls is going?"
Gu Jiu smiled knowingly, and said: "Please, Eunuch Shen, report back to Your Majesty for me. The money will definitely be raised within this year. The amount is huge, so please give your Majesty more time."
Shen Changshi frowned slightly, "Within this year? Does it mean that it will be delayed until the end of the year? Madam Zhao, Your Majesty's patience is limited, please hurry up."
Gu Jiu lowered his head and smiled, "The money didn't come from the strong wind. The Ministry of Household Affairs and the Shaofu couldn't solve the money in the past few years. Now that I, a little girl, are required to solve such a large amount of money within a few months, it's unreasonable not to give some time." Right. Mrs. Ben doesn't have the ability to turn stones into gold."
Shen Changshi looked at Gu Jiu with a half-smile, "Madam is right. It's just that my family listens, Madam has a heart of resentment."
Gu Jiu spread his hands, "Eunuch Shen also saw it, and now I live in Zhuangzi with the young master, doing nothing all day long. Life is hard and I'm not in a good mood, please forgive me, Eunuch Shen."
"Oh!"
Shen Changshi looked back and forth at the two of them.
"Why didn't you return to the capital? His Majesty asked you several times, but he was not here."
Liu Zhao grinned, "My lord is just a useless person, why go back? Being an eyesore is worse than being carefree in the mountains and rivers."
"Young master is free and easy, our family admires it. But since you want to be free and easy, shouldn't you also take off the errands on your body? You can't occupy the latrine without shitting."
The words were rough, full of malice.
Gu Jiu raised his eyebrows, and Shen Chang Shi hated Liu Zhao, did he mean it himself, or did it mean the emperor
This is not good!
Liu Zhao narrowed his eyes slightly, "I just want to occupy the latrine and not shit, what about my father-in-law?"
"Ha ha… "
Shen Changshi laughed loudly, "Just kidding, look at the young master's nervous appearance. It is said that the young master is serious and meticulous, as expected."
Liu Zhao's face darkened, and he was rarely silent.
After Shen Changshi laughed, he was a little embarrassed to find that his words had not received a response.
He coughed twice, "Young master, don't be surprised."
Liu Zhao picked up the teacup and served the tea to see off the guests.
"If Eunuch Shen has nothing else to do and it's getting late, hurry up and return to the palace. Be careful, you'll be locked up outside the city."
Shen Changshi got up and cupped his hands, "You two have a good baby, let's say goodbye!"
Gu Jiu sent someone to send Shen Changshi out.
After the person left, she asked in a low voice, "What does Shen Changshi mean? Why did he target you? Could it be that you have done something to anger His Majesty and make His Majesty jealous."
"Hmph! You can't expect anything better from me."
The corners of Gu Jiu's mouth twitched, he was a smelly man, and he was quite angry.
She reminded: "Be careful playing with fire***."
…
A few days after Shen Changshi's visit, the palace sent another person to urge Liu Zhao to return to the capital.
The person sent by King Ning is his number one confidant, his servant Chang En.
The two chatted a lot behind closed doors, but Gu Jiu didn't bother.
After the two finished chatting, Chang En hurried back to the capital.
Liu Zhao came to Gu Jiu's side, "We should go back."
"Oh!"
I knew there would be such a day.
She asked casually, "don't you have to wait any longer?"
Liu Zhao shook his head, "No need!"
Gu Jiu never asked what Liu Zhao was planning, nor did Liu Zhao take the initiative to explain it.
One doesn't ask, the other doesn't tell, there is still a tacit understanding.
Gu Jiu ordered, "Pack up your luggage and leave for the capital tomorrow."
The servants cheered happily, and finally they were going back to the palace.
Everyone doesn't dislike Zhuangzi too much.
It's just that Zhuangzi is poor, and when he goes out, he will see fields and mountains and rivers, which will be boring after a long time.
It's still lively in the palace, eating well and living well.
The servants were particularly active in packing their luggage, and it could be seen that they were eager to return to the palace.
Nothing to say all night.
Early the next morning, several carriages headed for the capital with luggage, fruits and vegetables.
Liu Zhao escorted them on horseback.
Sending Gu Jiu back to the palace, he didn't even enter the gate of the palace, he turned around and went out of the city again to get busy.
Gu Jiu only told him, "Take care of yourself and come back early."
Liu Zhao told her, "The shortest is three to five days, and the longest is half a month. I will definitely come back."
Qing Zhu was curious, "What are you busy with, Young Master? It will take half a month to go out."
Gu Jiu glanced at her, "Don't ask too many questions."
It's about court battles, and it's the best policy not to ask or talk about it until the dust settles.
After returning to the palace, after washing and changing clothes, he went to Chunhe Hall to pay his respects.
Pei Shi looked at Gu Jiu, but he didn't like anything.
In her eyes, Gu Jiu was a living troublemaker, even a hypocritical troublemaker.
"You are finally willing to come back."
Pei's yin and yang said strangely.
Gu Jiuquan ignored the wind, and the wind passed without a trace.
"It's my daughter-in-law's fault that my mother and concubine are tired of worrying."
Mrs. Pei heheed twice, and said sarcastically: "It's hard for you, but you still know that you are wrong. Then you tell this princess, where is your mistake?"
Gu Jiu thought for a while and said, "Daughter-in-law is at fault. She hasn't been filial to her mother and concubine for so long, and she is still worrying about her."
Pei sneered, very disdainful.
"My princess doesn't care about your filial piety in front of me. But this princess hates people who ruin the reputation of the palace. Boss daughter-in-law, this princess has always thought you are a prudent person. But what you did this time is really disappointing. It's okay to move to Zhuangzi alone, but you dare to go in and out with unmarried adult men, what a shame!"
Mrs. Pei sternly reprimanded, obviously wanting to settle accounts after Qiuhou.
Gu Jiu knew a long time ago that Liu Zhao got the news from Mrs. Pei, so she hurried to Zhuangzi to look for her.
Therefore, she didn't find it strange that Mrs. Pei would attack her.
Faced with this situation, she was already prepared.
She said loudly: "Those Zhuangtou who were dealt with by the daughter-in-law dared to gossip in front of the mother-in-law and ruin the reputation of the daughter-in-law and the palace. They should be damned. I also ask the mother-in-law to hand them over to the daughter-in-law. The daughter-in-law must personally Let's punish these people severely."
Mrs. Pei snorted coldly, "Before severely punishing the servant, you should first reflect on your own words and deeds. As the lady of the palace, you should always take the face of the palace as the most important thing. However, your actions made this The concubine is very disappointed. I don't think you are worthy to be the eldest lady of the palace."
