After the money was divided, everyone was happy.
Pei Yun also specially sent her mother-in-law to the palace to thank her.
Gu Mei posted a post, asking Gu Jiu to go to Daihou's mansion to enjoy flowers and drink another day.
The wintersweet in Daihou's Mansion has formed flower buds, and it will be in full bloom in a few days.
At that time, not only her, but also the sisters of the Gu family will be there. There are also girls from the Wei family and so on.
Gu Jiu readily agreed.
Liu Zhao leaned crookedly on the soft bed, and Gu Jiu leaned on his thigh.
The earth dragon was burning in the house, making it extremely warm.
She was only wearing an unlined garment, and she was almost sweating.
Liu Zhao directly opened his clothes, revealing his strong chest.
No matter how much he looked at Liu Zhao, he couldn't get tired of it.
The handsomeness of 360 degrees without dead ends, coupled with the noble status of the emperor's grandson, has a fatal allure to women.
Unable to bear it for a while, Gu Jiu took a bite on his abdominal muscle.
Liu Zhao frowned, and his tongue flared up, "Didn't you get enough food last night?"
Gu Jiu: Ah, bastard, can you not mention what happened last night.
A man who cheats on meat is really not to be provoked.
Last night, she just took the initiative for a while, but in the end she was attacked like a storm.
She almost died in bed.
Gu Jiu snorted, "It's said that men do too much and have kidney deficiency. Why don't you have kidney deficiency?"
Liu Zhao's brows twitched, his eyes were as deep as the sea, but there was a dangerous light.
"You want me to have kidney deficiency? Which little boy do you like?"
Gu Jiu bit him again, "I've taken a liking to you little boy, okay?"
Liu Zhao nodded, of course, especially.
Gu Jiu said again: "You just don't know how to exercise restraint, I'm very tired. It's okay to be young now. But don't forget, there are still decades to come, so be careful that your waist will hurt someday."
"You suspect that my waist is not good?" Liu Zhao's eyes revealed an unclear light.
Gu Jiu rolled her eyes. Can you grasp the key points when listening to people speak? Why is it that every time the focus seems to turn eighteen corners.
Her focus is on moderation, okay
"I didn't say you have a bad back."
"You were clearly suspecting that my waist is not good."
"No."
"You have!" Liu Zhao was like a sophomore, insisting on forcing Gu Jiu to admit that he suspected his bad waist.
Gu Jiu covered her face, "I don't want to tell you."
Liu Zhao pulled her hand away, "I will prove whether my waist is good or not."
"Yes, yes, your waist strength is the best."
Liu Zhao asked blankly, "I haven't proved it yet, so how do you know if my waist is strong or not? You're clearly just putting it off."
It's not perfunctory.
"You don't need to prove it. I already knew last night that you have a strong waist."
"Last night was last night. And if it was really good last night, why do you suspect that my waist strength is not good today? It can be seen that I did not perform well last night, at least my waist strength is not enough to satisfy you. Madam, while It's rare to have free time today, let's go to the bedroom to have an in-depth exchange, so that my husband will prove how good the waist is."
"don't want!"
As soon as Gu Jiu yelled out the words, his lips were blocked.
Next, Liu Zhao used practical actions to prove how good his waist strength is.
After the incident was over, Gu Jiu lay down on the bed, regretting her mistakes.
Why does she want to flirt with Liu Zhao, why does the cheapest have to lift her waist.
Beep!
One day she will be fucked to death.
Liu Zhao looked satisfied.
A life where you can do what you want without being restricted by dates is really beautiful.
He looked gentle and affectionate, "I'll massage your waist. Look at you, in fact, your waist is really bad."
Gu Jiu bit the pillow, speechless.
If you get it cheap, you'll act like a good boy, if you smell shameless.
"Take more tonics and make your body stronger."
"As strong as you?"
"That's not necessary."
He leaned over and whispered in Gu Jiu's ear, "It's white and tender, delicious."
eat
You bastard, you've been thinking of eating her.
Gu Jiu wanted to kick him away, but he grabbed his ankle.
"Stay still! I don't mind doing it again."
Gu Jiu: I can't live through this day.
His hand didn't know when it came to her abdomen and rubbed it gently.
When will there be a little life here
He worked so hard, why didn't he move
Maybe it's because he hasn't tried hard enough.
"Don't touch!" Gu Jiu took his hand away.
He leaned over and hugged her from behind.
Smooth white and tender skin, silky smooth, makes people linger.
Warm breath sprayed against her ears.
A deep and deep baritone sounded in my ears, "It must be because I didn't work hard enough for my husband, so there has been no movement."
"Nonsense."
Gu Jiu turned her head and gave him a blank look.
"I was born prematurely, and my body has been weak since I was a child. In the past few years, my body has grown, and I have gradually recovered. When the weather is warm next spring, maybe there will be movement."
"Really?" Liu Zhao was ecstatic.
Gu Jiu took the opportunity to check his own pulse, "My body is much better than when I first married you. So, before the beginning of spring, you should exercise restraint."
Temperance is impossible, not in this lifetime.
He hugged her without saying a word, but he had a tacit understanding.
Silence is also a kind of warmth.
He kissed her forehead, "When we have a child, you must be the best mother in the world."
Gu Jiu shook her head, "I can't be the best mother, I can only be a mother above the pass line."
Liu Zhao was puzzled.
Gu Jiu suddenly asked: "Is it really good to devote oneself wholeheartedly to the child, who only has the child in his heart and doesn't even have himself?"
Liu Zhao didn't understand, "Shouldn't parents pay for their children?"
He is the eldest son of Ning Wang and Pei Shi, but the love from his father and mother is very limited since he was a child.
He thought that when he had a child, he would not be stingy with his love for the child.
Gu Jiu lay on the bed and said casually: "People are independent individuals, even if they have children, they should have their own independent life. Instead of surrounding children from morning to night, from opening to closing eyes."
"Of course there is no need to be around the child twelve hours a day, but there must be a little care for the child."
Gu Jiu laughed, "To be fair, you are one set after another. When we really have a child, I would like to see if you can do it."
Liu Zhao stared at her like stars, "If I can't do it, just remind me. I will work hard."
He has been working hard.
He worked hard to learn to be a good husband, and he will work hard to learn how to be a father in the future.
Gu Jiu smiled and didn't take his words to heart.
As the grandson of the emperor, I can't help myself many times.
For example, if the emperor sends an errand, can Liu Zhao say that I want to go home and take care of the children and refuse
Being in the royal family, he has no power, and even cannot let the child grow up safely and smoothly.
If you want power, you have to fight with your life.
If you don't want to pay, the power will fall from the sky, it is purely a dream.
Gu Jiu and Liu Zhao have been married for two years and have never been pregnant. However, Gu Jiu still has the confidence to hate Princess Pei, and even Concubine Xiao Shu, not to give Prince Ning face, why
It's not because she is so capable and can make more money.
In the palace, making money is always secondary.
The reason why she has the confidence to live so recklessly and live according to her heart is because Liu Zhao is behind her.
Liu Zhao worked hard outside with his ability, every time he made a contribution, Gu Jiu gained more confidence.
In the case of the second and third sons, for example, Mrs. Pei wants to arrange a woman in the room of the second and third sons. Can Ouyang Fu and the third wife, Mrs. Cai, refuse
They didn't have the guts to refuse.
Because the second son, the third son has no achievements.
This time, Ouyang Fu still relied on her pregnancy and rejected Pei's arrangement.
After she gave birth to the child, Mrs. Pei will arrange a woman for the second son. What can she do then, she can only pinch her nose to recognize it.
If the second son was like Liu Zhao, who made contributions by his own ability and obtained the title, Ouyang and his wife would naturally have the confidence to say no to the Pei family because of their husband's dignity.
Gu Jiu has been living soberly.
Whether it is said that Liu Zhao eats soft food, or that he has a flawed personality, it is actually ridicule. Husband and wife fun.
In the palace, without Liu Zhao supporting her, I am afraid she would not even be able to get out of the second door.
With Pei's order, even if she has three heads and six arms, she can never fly out of the palace.
The reason why Mrs. Pei can't do anything about her is because Liu Zhao has been standing behind her.
So Mrs. Pei didn't dare to use family law against her, and didn't dare to use any broken rules to restrain her.
Rushing against Gu Jiu, Pei's mother-in-law is at least taking advantage of her.
Against Liu Zhao, the Pei family has no chance of winning.
Liu Zhao is the eldest son, and he has the title of general of the town, and then he is the king of the county.
At this time, Pei must give Liu Zhao enough respect. You can't just treat him as your son.
For example, can the empress dowager treat the emperor's son simply as a son
Certainly not!
If Mrs. Pei dared to challenge Gu Jiu's family law, Liu Zhao would have an excuse to overturn the table, change the rules of the palace, and directly evade Mrs. Pei.
With Liu Zhao's temper, he could really do such a thing.
At that time, the loser must be Pei.
No one in the palace is a real idiot.
Pei's mind is clear, where is the bottom line
She hates Gu Jiu, finds fault with Gu Jiu, criticizes Gu Jiu, beats Gu Jiu with words, but vents out any dissatisfaction at all, and never wrongs herself.
Pei has done so many things, but she can't do things that break the bottom line.
It has to be said that Mrs. Pei is very measured.
As long as she doesn't break the bottom line, the relationship between her and Gu Jiu will be a simple conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
As a man, Liu Zhao has no right to interfere and should not interfere.
Gu Jiu would not let Liu Zhao interfere in such trivial matters.
Pei's tricks are very smooth.
She glared at Gu Jiu, so what if she beat her with words
As a mother-in-law, don't you have the right to beat your daughter-in-law
When Liu Zhao saw it, he could only endure it.
Because Pei's kept the bottom line, he didn't use the family law and didn't move out of the rules. Liu Zhao must also stick to the bottom line and must not interfere with the trivial affairs of the inner house.
This kind of thing, no one will say it clearly, it all depends on mutual understanding.
The Pei family has a tacit understanding, and Liu Zhao has a tacit understanding.
After groping, Gu Jiu also figured out where the bottom line is.
Therefore, no matter how picky Pei Shi was on Gu Jiu on weekdays, Gu Jiu would always go in one ear and out the other, and didn't care at all.
If you are upset, just say a few words to provoke Pei's anger.
When you're in a good mood, just listen to her more and let Mrs. Pei vent her anger.
The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law seems to be full of gunpowder.
In fact, there is a tacit understanding.
Xiao Qin'er didn't understand the true meaning of getting along with mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, she didn't know where the bottom line was, and she didn't grasp the proper measure.
Therefore, she was scolded mercilessly by Mrs. Pei many times, humiliating her face.
She only thought that Mrs. Pei didn't like her and was partial to her.
In fact, Mrs. Pei doesn't like any daughter-in-law, and she is partial to everyone.
The difference is that Gu Jiu and Ouyang Fu know how to measure.
What makes Gu Jiu stronger than Ouyang Fu is that if she is upset, she dares to go back and even hit Pei's seven inches.
Ouyang Fu didn't dare to do this because she had no confidence. She was afraid that Mrs. Pei would use family law against her.
She knew that when the time came to resort to family law, the Second Young Master would not be able to help her at all.
Not unwilling, but unable. How can I help
Gu Jiu is not afraid.
Because she knew that Liu Zhao would stand up and support her if she really got to the point of tearing her face apart.
The big deal is to turn the tables and re-write the rules of the game.
But Gu Jiu didn't like to flip the table.
She was so busy that she couldn't finish the outside affairs, so she didn't care about the affairs of the palace.
It's good to maintain the current balance.
She mumbled, and leaned against Liu Zhao's arms, a little drowsy, wanting to sleep.
"Don't sleep yet, go to bed after dinner."
"Don't eat! No appetite."
"Why don't you have an appetite? Didn't you make money? It stands to reason that you should have a big appetite."
Gu Jiu yawned, "How can I save money on hand? All the money I earn is spent."
"I heard that you sold tens of thousands of acres of land outside the South City Gate. What did you buy so much land for?"
"Of course it's building a house." Gu Jiu said naturally
Liu Zhao frowned, "There are tens of thousands of refugees outside the South City Gate, what are you going to do with them? If the refugee problem is not resolved, your house will not be completed. Even if it is completed, it will not be sold."
Not to mention high-ranking officials and dignitaries, even ordinary people in the capital are unwilling to live with those refugees who have nothing and live on relief food.
There is also a clear chain of contempt in the hearts of Xiaomins in the capital.
In Xiaomin's mind, the refugees gathered outside the city are not even as good as beggars.
Xiaomin allows beggars to hide from the wind and snow under their own roofs, but they never allow refugees to appear under their own roofs. Once found, they will all be beaten away.
Refugees represent instability, poverty, stealing, murder and arson.
As long as any case happened, the first thing people in the capital would think of would be the restless refugees outside the city.
Gu Jiu yawned again, feeling very sleepy.
She stretched her eyelids, and said, "Do you think that including two meals and daily wages can solve the problem of those refugees outside the city?"
Liu Zhao frowned, "Ten thousand refugees, if you really do this, do you have enough money?"
He felt in his heart that this method was unreliable and was purely a waste of money.
How much money does Gu Jiu have to burn
Gu Jiu lazily said: "So I borrowed one million taels from the Shaofu. The Shaofu has already paid 200,000 taels, and the remaining 800,000 taels will be given to me in the spring."
Liu Zhao's face turned cold, "You really dare to borrow it. One million taels, even if we sell you and me, you won't be able to pay it back."
Gu Jiu laughed, "I'm not willing to sell you. You underestimate me too much. It's only a million dollars. How could I not make it?"
Liu Zhao's mood at this moment seems to have fallen into the eighteenth level of hell.
He has already started to make up his mind, what will he do if Gu Jiu still hasn't paid the money after one year
Ask the Shaofu to intercede and give him a grace period
Plead with the imperial grandfather and sell yourself as a slave
If he didn't wait for spring, he would go to the northwest to fight grass valleys and do a few votes on the grasslands. Grab some valuables and come back to sell them to pay off Gu Jiu's debt.
Or go to sea and rob merchants. Give him two votes, and the money is enough.
In Liu Zhao's mind, he has already begun to evaluate which of the two options has higher return on investment and is easier to implement.
Most of his sons are cavalry, so it is more advantageous to go to the grassland.
However, many of the tribes on the grassland are poor ghosts.
How many tribes would he have to rob if he wanted to make up a million and add two hundred thousand in interest
In terms of return on investment, going to sea is more cost-effective. Those sea merchants were all very rich, and a shipment of goods cost at least hundreds of thousands of taels.
If you're lucky, you might be able to collect more than one million taels of goods and return them to the Shaofu if you sell a shipment of goods.
It's just that there are too few sons in his hands who know water.
It seems that he needs to recruit dozens or hundreds of sailors, at least to make up a fleet.
So he said to Gu Jiu: "Give me 20,000 taels, and it will be of great use to me."
As soon as she heard Liu Zhao asking for money, Gu Jiu immediately woke up, her mind was not sleepy at all.
"What do you want money for?"
Liu Zhao said solemnly: "I intend to secretly recruit sailors."
He didn't intend to hide this from Gu Jiu.
Gu Jiu was confused, "What are you recruiting sailors for? You don't go to sea."
"Who said I don't go to sea?"
snort! He decided to build a pool in another courtyard and learn to swim first.
When spring comes, go to the Weishui River to practice water skills.
Not only him, but all his subordinates have to practice water skills.
"You want to go to sea? What are you going to do? Does His Majesty let you go to sea? Your Majesty is not afraid of your grandson going to sea? Have you never thought about my feelings?"
Gu Jiu asked repeatedly.
But Liu Zhao said: "You give me the money first, I may not be able to go to sea."
"Money is a trivial matter, first tell me what to do at sea?"
Liu Zhao frowned and remained silent.
How can a dignified grandson say blatantly that he spends money to recruit people just to become robbers.
