The Dudu Mansion was originally the residence where Emperor Taizu Gao granted him the title of Marquis Zhongjing. It lived next to Marquis Ningyuan. Therefore, the street in front of the gate was also called Zhongning Street. However, the Mansion of Zhongjing Marquis was involved in a rebellion during the reign of Emperor Taizong Wu.
After a major case was revealed and he died, he seized the title, destroyed the iron bonds, ransacked the family and exterminated the family. ~After that, the mansion was given to Xiong Linshan, a famous minister of the Wu Dynasty, and was renamed "Chengyuan". After Xiong retired and became an official
, I asked you to return this garden. Emperor Renzong took over the garden and gave him numerous houses and fields in Master Xiong’s hometown.
Not counting the mountains and forests at the front and back, Chengyuan covers a total area of about ninety acres, which can be divided into two parts, the front and back.
The front yard is also called the outer garden, where men deal with government affairs. The main entrance in the front is three red lacquered doors with 7749 copper nails. On both sides are the east and west corner doors. The inside is paved with smooth and neat huge square stone slabs.
Straight down, there are two symmetrical rows of four outer study rooms, and outside are stables and carriage houses, and several rows of narrow courtyard rooms with slaves' quarters. After the outer gate, there are five huge and bright meeting rooms in the center, with two large and bright meeting rooms on both sides.
It is equipped with a conservatory, an ear room and a tea room.
Going in through the three inner ceremonial doors is the inner courtyard.
Due to scruples, Minglan sat on a sliding pole covered with gauze curtains and quickly walked around the front yard. Gu Tingye pointed to a few places and briefly recognized them. As soon as they entered the inner courtyard, Gu Tingye immediately asked Minglan.
Walking on the ground. Minglan tactfully said that she was too fragile to walk for a long time, so it would be better to sit on the slide. The man immediately looked at her strangely and leaned into her ear to say more tactfully: Are you trying to maintain your strength...?
Minglan thought for a while: "I'd better walk."
The man's eyebrows were sharp and angular, his nose was straight and his lips were thin, his eyes were deep, and he seemed to be laughing at her silently.
At the front and center of the inner courtyard are five halls with deer tops and ears. On the plaque in front of the hall are the three characters "Chaohui Hall" with flying dragons and phoenixes. Minglan secretly said hello, turned around and said: "Master Xiong is a veteran of two dynasties.
, Qingliu lives in the Qi, and the scholarly family does not use any festive words, only the two words 'Zhaohui' are enough!"
Gu Tingye looked at these three words and nodded.
The small courtyard on the left side of Chaohui Hall forms Gu Tingye's inner study. On the right side is a side hall and a green hall. Behind it, separated by a white stone corridor and a hanging flower door, is the main courtyard with seven rooms and seven shelves, with three floors on both sides.
The wing room has three ears, three stacks at the front and back, and more than 20 rooms in one span. It is grand in style and decorated with three big characters - Jiaxiju.
Minglan looked familiar and took a few more glances before realizing that this was where she started her journey this morning.
There are two corner doors behind the three-bay building at the back of Jiaxi Residence, one leading to the back corridor. There is also a small meeting hall there, which is probably used by the family members for board meetings, and there is also a connected corridor.
It leads to a large flower hall.
Minglan felt dizzy and her legs were weak. Gu Tingye found it funny to see her dizzy, so he took her to have lunch first. After taking a nap, the couple continued shopping.
With Jiaxi Residence as the center, facing north, east and west, there are five courtyards and terraced houses respectively. These places are probably for old ladies, wives and brothers and sisters to live. Unfortunately, they are all empty now.
The nearest courtyard is connected to the main courtyard by a hand-curved verandah, and the further courtyard is separated by a north-south road, and behind it is a garden and mountain forest with fragrant flowers and plants. Minglan walked around in a circle, and his favorite place was a lotus pond with sparkling waves and quiet water.
, the lotus flowers on the lake are fragrant, and lotus roots are faintly visible under the water. One end of the pond is connected to the lotus root pavilion, and the other end is directly connected to the large flower hall.
Minglan was tired from walking, so she simply walked into the Lotus Root Pavilion to rest.
"It's just the two of us in such a big house?" Minglan looked around at the eight doors, windows and sash, and asked weakly while lying on the Langgan corridor beside the lotus pond.
"How big is this?" Gu Tingye stood on the corridor, facing the direction of Ningyuan Hou's Mansion, which is now a small mountain forest, and said quietly, "You have also been to Xiangyang Hou's Mansion, there are more than two people here.
Be big.”
Minglan followed his gaze, lowered her head and thought to herself: This guy wants to merge! I just hope it's not an illegal expansion.
…
In Yao Yiyi's time, every time the winter and summer vacations were over and the school was about to start, the students who had been dancing for a whole vacation would stay at home and be busy with their homework. After so many years, Yao Yiyi magically saw it again
this scene.
That night, after dinner, Gu Tingye moved a lot of papers from the outer study room into the house, laid out a table on the papers in the west room connected to the master bedroom, placed an inkstone and dipped it in ink, lowered his head and looked at it carefully, while reading
, and write some notes on the side.
Minglan was dumbfounded - she was going to court to meet the emperor tomorrow, so she had to make up for her homework all night?
Seeing Gu Tingye lowering his head to read the text in deep thought, Minglan originally wanted to say, "You study slowly, I'll go to bed first." However, Gu Tingye took out a thick stack of account books and a list of servants and put them in front of Minglan.
, hoping to 'work hard and make progress together' with her.
Minglan suppressed a yawn, so she had to sit down behind Xiao Qiao on the other side, spread out the account books and look at the list; the night light was slowly turning, and Gu Tingye felt very happy when he saw the red sleeves accompanying him. In a blink of an eye, he saw Danjue standing blankly beside him and said:
"Ju, go make a pot of hot tea." He vaguely remembered the names of the girls next to Minglan, they seemed to be fruits.
This is good and easy to remember.
Danju felt sorry for Minglan. She had already prepared hot water for Zhongyi and wanted Minglan to rest early. Seeing this, she had to turn around and go out to make tea and prepare snacks. Qin Sang, who was looking at the fire in Baoxia, saw that she looked unhappy.
, then asked: "What's wrong?"
Danju felt unhappy, but she didn't reveal anything about it: "Take out the fresh grapes that were just delivered this morning, and cut a few pieces of the peach." As he said this, he went to get the tea leaves and teapot from the cupboard.
After Qin Sang heard this, he got up and left. The green branch beside him felt strange: "Didn't the girl say she wanted to go to bed early?"
"I want to call you 'Madam'!" Danju said with a straight face, and took out a brand new set of "Magpie Climbing Branches" thin-bodied official kiln pink porcelain tea set: "Master and Madam have something to say, and there are many things in the house.
The explanation is over."
Bi Si covered her mouth and chuckled: "Speaking of it, Master is really funny. Yesterday he actually called Sister Qin Sang 'Zao', Xiao Tao 'Tao', and even called me 'Li', Sister Danju, Master."
What's wrong with you?"
Danju brought a big kettle from the stove next to the door to make tea, and said in a deep voice: "It's only been two days since you left the house, and you're not talking about trivial matters? You can also arrange this, sir! It's called this."
When people in the mansion heard this, they thought everyone from the Sheng family had no rules!"
Qin Sang came in with cut fresh fruits, and Luzhi took out a six-inch square lotus-shaped crystal bowl. The two washed their hands and placed the fruits. While arranging the fruits, Luzhi said: "Put this little hoof together."
Crazy, just call Mother Cui and give her a good punishment!"
Caihuan saw that their movements were skillful and tacit, but she really couldn't get involved, so she smiled and said: "Sister Bisi is young and is ignorant and neglectful. They are all her own sisters, so don't tell Mother Cui."
The green branches suffocated, and the red-orange eyes couldn't bear to hesitate. Qin Sang raised his head and said with a smile: "Bisi, let me remind you. We have been following the madam since we were young. You still don't know her temper? Now we have just
It's time to show off to Madam when you come here, so don't be confused." He said with profound meaning.
Bi Si looked stern and immediately shut up. Cai Huan felt strange and it was difficult to ask further questions, so she deliberately said: "When we were in Sheng Mansion, they said that among the three girls, the sixth girl had the best temper and was the most lenient towards others, so she
We have done something wrong, and we won’t be severely punished, right?”
Danju has a deep friendship with several greens, and usually does not want to punish her too much, but she is a little wary of Caihuan. She looked at Caihuan and said slowly: "Madam said, no one can make mistakes without being a sage, so why drop the bowl?"
It's easy to say that anyone who breaks a cup just messed up one or two errands, but if you ask for the reason, you can just let him go and be punished; but there is only one thing, but it can't be ruled out."
"Which one?" Caihuan asked nervously, then she suddenly changed her face and said with a smile, "Sister told me, so I can have a better memory."
"Intentional tricks." Danju stared at Caihuan's eyes and said word by word: "No matter what it is, if you have any unworthy and crooked thoughts in your heart, no matter how good it is, you can't have it."
Caihuan's heart trembled, but she had a look of admiration on her face, and she laughed continuously: "It's exactly what Madam said. For us girls, the most important thing is loyalty, and everything else is secondary!" As she said that, she thought of it.
He asked softly, "...By the way, wasn't there a sister named Yancao? Why didn't she follow?"
Danju glanced at her and simply said: "She is old enough. I beg the old lady and go to mate myself."
Caihuan wanted to ask again, "Isn't there another mother You?", but Luzhi shouted loudly: "Xiao Tao Cuixiu, you just packed a few boxes, why haven't you come back yet?!"
…
Danju carried the plate to the main room. Before leaving, she thought about it and put a big red pomegranate in it. She ordered the tea fruits and placed them in the room with a smile. She saw that Minglan was wearing thin clothes.
He took out a homely moon-white undershirt with red plum blossoms in the snow, put it on Minglan gently, and finally turned on the three sheepskin palace lanterns in the room to be brighter before slowly going out.
Over the years, Minglan has maintained good study habits. While looking through the account books and lists, he excerpted some important points (ghost symbols that others could not understand) and chanted softly. Gu Tingye raised his head and glanced at Minglan, only to
Under the candlelight, her jade face reflected red, her peach cheeks and lips were rosy, and her eyes were bright, making her exceptionally beautiful.
He clenched his fist and coughed. Minglan raised her head to look at him. Gu Tingye looked calm and said calmly: "You can help me pack out the study room tomorrow. I have entrusted the things to be moved to Mr. Gongsun. It doesn't matter what else is left.
Find me two reliable girls to look after,...it's better if they are illiterate." Minglan was about to say no problem, but suddenly heard the last part of the sentence, thought for a while, and then said: "I'm not familiar with the people here.
The girl is all literate, except for Xiao Tao, who is stupid and doesn't know much, but she is reliable and definitely trustworthy. Let her look at it first, and then I will slowly look for it later. Reliable people cannot be found overnight; these are
Sun…if you don’t mind it, I’ll clean up the study for you.”
In fact, the key point is not whether you can read or not, but whether it is reliable. Because you are not sure whether it is reliable, you have to find someone who is illiterate. (·~) If a literate girl wants to peek at something, just take a look and memorize a few words.
If you are illiterate, you can only bring in private contacts, which is more difficult and easier to catch.
Gu Tingye nodded with satisfaction, then frowned slightly: "Why are you literate? Did you teach me? Is it necessary?"
Minglan nodded and said seriously: "The maids are all literate, so that I can show my sincerity." In fact, it was to let them understand the rules and regulations of Mu Cangzhai.
Gu Tingye raised his eyebrows, the dark gold threads on the dark green silk robe he wore flickered slightly, and the bright moon-white middle coat reflected his handsomeness. He put his fist to his lips and chuckled: "Not bad, not bad,
Sheng Sheng, a talented woman, just give her husband some time to sharpen her ink."
Minglan smiled and went over to sharpen the ink for him, while deliberately grimacing, shaking her head and sighing: "A great knife, a great knife."
Gu Tingye laughed out loud. He looked at Minglan's white wrists like snow, and the slow and graceful grinding movements. He couldn't help but feel slightly startled. After a long time, when Minglan had finished grinding a thick inkstone and was about to sit back, he took a handful of it.
He grabbed Minglan and asked quietly: "You, don't you have anything to ask?"
Minglan was confused and said blankly: "Ask...what?"
"In the mansion," Gu Tingye said, "Is there anything you want to know?" The situation in the Gu mansion was strange, everyone could see it, but she hadn't asked anything in the past few days.
Minglan understood what he meant, and her eyes were clear: "Originally, I did, but the old lady said that if you don't understand something, don't ask immediately, think about it yourself first; this will make me look very smart."
Gu Tingye's stern brows also relaxed, and he couldn't help but smile: "Okay, you are smart as ice and snow, so let's hear what you have to say."
Minglan pulled away Gu Tingye's hand from grabbing her, dragged Xiao Zhu aside to sit down, and said softly: "...When I first met your family, the first thing I found strange was their age. The first was that they were deceased.
My father-in-law is the eldest, and as a married man, I can only get married sooner rather than later, but brother Xuan and brother Yang are much older than brother Yu. Why is this?"
Gu Tingyu is only twenty-eight years old and has no brothers above him. However, the eldest son of the fourth and fifth bedrooms, Gu Tingxuan and Gu Tingyang are both thirty-three or four years old. So far, the only direct grandson of the eldest family member is Gu Tingwei’s son, two or three-year-old Xiao Douding.
Brother Xian.
As for the fourth and fifth bedrooms, let alone soy sauce, Gu Tingxuan's eldest son is more than enough to run a soy sauce shop, and Gu Tingyang's eldest daughter is old enough to be the proprietress of a soy sauce shop.
Gu Tingye's eyes gradually brightened, and there was a smile at the corner of his mouth. Minglan looked at him and sighed: "I think my father-in-law must have a deep and deep love with the first wife."
Gu Tingye's face slowly darkened. This sentence was not said casually. To deduce its meaning, if the old Marquis had a deep affection for the first Mrs. Qin, then he would not be very accepting of Mrs. Bai who married next, and
As for the current Mrs. Qin, she will love the house as much as the bird.
Gu Tingye gently hugged Minglan, leaned into his arms, and said softly: "When I was a child, I heard the fifth aunt talk about the first lady, saying that she and her father's childhood sweethearts had a deep love. Because she was frail and sick, her father asked her to go there.
Guarding the border, so as to avoid the interference of the elders in the capital; today's dowager often talks about her, saying that she is beautiful, noble, elegant, gentle and intelligent, and has a kind and gentle heart. She is a good woman that is rare in the world;
Father, he will remember her forever."
Minglan pouted. She lay in the man's arms and said calmly: "The second thing I don't understand is the age of Mrs. Tai." She obviously felt the man's muscles tighten, and then said, "From Mrs. Tai's zodiac sign
Let's see, she is forty-four years old this year. When you were born, she was already nineteen years old. She married into the Hou Mansion a year later when she was twenty years old. In other words, when the first Mrs. Qin died, she was sixteen years old.
What's going on here...?"
If the old Marquis really had such deep feelings for the first Mrs. Qin and wanted to find a daughter of the Qin family to remarry and take care of Gu Tingyu, then he could marry Mrs. Qin. Why was there a Mrs. Bai in the middle?
Minglan felt the stiffness of Gu Tingye's body, slowly got up, looked into his eyes, and said firmly but softly: "At that time, what reason did the father-in-law have to marry the mother-in-law?" This question was a bit embarrassing, but now it is
The root of all problems.
Gu Tingye stared at Minglan for a long time, not knowing what to say. Over the years, Gu Tingye's heart was heavy, but it was always difficult to talk about family matters. When it came time to talk about it, he didn't know where to start. Minglan didn't ask a word, but only knew a little bit about it.
, I saw some things clearly.
Minglan had never seen Gu Tingye's expression like this before. His stern eyebrows were raised high, his eye sockets were deep in the shadows, his eyes were very gloomy and dangerous, but there was a light understanding, as if there was nothing he could do about it. After a while, he finally
He slowly spoke: "My maternal grandfather's side is the Haining Bai family. Have you heard of it?"
Minglan wanted to express her admiration, but she had never heard of the Bai family. The most famous ones in Haining were the Chen family, whose family was a seventh-level Jinshi, the Zhao family, whose father was a member of the Imperial Academy, and the Xu family, the former Pavilion elder. In addition,
There were still some aristocratic families staying here, but there was no Bai family anyway, so Minglan had no choice but to shake her head honestly.
Gu Tingye laughed at himself: "Of course I have never heard of it. The Bai family is neither aristocratic nor scholarly, but a salt merchant."
Minglan was stunned. It didn't matter that his mother came from the lowest level of merchants. There were Confucian merchants and righteous merchants anyway, but he was a salt merchant who was looked down upon by merchants. This... how could he ask Bai Bai?
It is quite difficult to express respect.
Gu Tingye continued: "Do you know what is most popular in a salt merchant's house?"
"Salt." Minglan blurted out without thinking, which immediately caused a knuckle to knock on her forehead. She immediately covered her forehead and whispered, "Silver! The most silver!"
Gu Tingye bent his slender index and middle fingers and stared at Minglan with a half-smile. Couldn't she be more serious and sad?
Minglan looked at the two bent fingers with lingering fear, and timidly said: "Don't say, your father married your mother for money!" A businessman's status is low, how can he threaten the powerful.
"It was just for the silver, but no one believed it when I told it. Later, I checked carefully and found out what happened." Gu Tingye lowered his face, put his fingers on his knees, and said with cold eyes: "That year, Queen Jing'an passed away, and Wu
The emperor was overly worried and angry, and his temper suddenly turned violent and suspicious. He killed many concubines and maids with a cane, and also ordered the death of the then imperial concubine, and wanted to kill her entire family. At that time, the imperial concubine's clan uncle was in charge of the household, and under the liquidation,
It was discovered that the Household Department had a deficit of more than three million taels, which was all due to Quan Jue's meritorious service over the years. Originally it was not a major event that would shake the country's foundation, and it was just a matter of slowly paying back the money. But at that time, Emperor Wu expressed his anger
Under the circumstances, severe penalties were imposed, and those who did not repay within half a year were ordered to seize the title!"
Minglan was completely stunned, and then asked after a while: "How much does Ningyuan Houfu owe?"
"Not much." Gu Tingye said sarcastically, "A total of 880,000 taels of silver."
Minglan almost breathed a sigh of relief, eight hundred and eighty thousand taels of silver?! These losers! Is there anyone who spends so much money?!
Gu Tingye took a long breath and looked up at the roof of the carved balustrade building with a confused look on his face: "The Gu family liquidated all the ancestral property overnight, but it was not enough no matter how you calculated it. Seeing that the deadline was approaching, the Rongguo Duke's mansion had been confiscated.
, the family was demoted to common people, the situation was miserable, and everyone in the Gu family went crazy with anxiety; at that time, I don’t know who... mentioned the Bai family."
Minglan was stunned and just listened blankly as Gu Tingye continued: "My grandfather is also a figure. He came from a sailing business at sea. After saving some capital, he came ashore. I don't know what path he took. After opening up the officialdom,
, he actually became a salt merchant! After twenty years of accumulation, the family property is extremely rich. He was not close to his brothers in the early years, and he only has a daughter, my mother."
Minglan didn't want to speak anymore and just sighed - without any brothers to rely on, with a humble background, but rich property, this Mrs. Bai just missed having the word "fat" written on her forehead.
"So, my father-in-law married my mother-in-law?" When she said this, even Minglan didn't realize that her words were sarcastic.
Gu Tingye smiled bitterly, but he couldn't cover up the coldness: "Ten people have ten opinions about what happened next. I've heard it so many times that I don't even know it myself; but... the one that was said the most was that my father told Bai Bai at that time.
The Bai family proposed to marry my mother as a side wife. Hum, I thought it would be a blessing from heaven for a merchant's daughter to enter the Marquis's mansion as a side wife. But the Bai family refused to agree and insisted on becoming the main wife. Under coercion,
I forced the first lady, Mrs. Qin, to death."
Minglan took a breath of cold air, stood up immediately, straightened the joystick, and said decisively: "Nonsense! Complete nonsense! Who is crazy and confuses right and wrong like this?!"
Gu Tingye looked up at Minglan with cold eyes and a mocking smile: "How do you know? Maybe it's true."
Minglan took a deep breath and said loudly: "Yes, there are wealthy businessmen's daughters who become concubines in the homes of powerful people. But what is the purpose of this? It's just exchanging in-laws for money and power! Promise a daughter, and the businessman can get it in exchange.
Convenient to do things, powerful and powerful
If the money is divided, both sides are happy. But this is not the case in the Bai family. Old Mrs. Bai only has one daughter, and who else can continue the salt selling business? Therefore, he does not need to borrow the influence of powerful people, and since he has no brothers to help him, he wants to find a reliable one.
The son-in-law is the one! How could he 'coerce' the Gu family to marry his daughter? And 'force her to death' the wife? Isn't this enmity? Nonsense! Talking in a dream is more believable than this!"
Minglan Shangjue was so angry that she thought to herself: With such a large dowry, who can Mrs. Bai marry? Are all men in the world dead? You have to do it, Father Gu? To be honest, this is not the Bai family taking advantage of the Gu family, it was precisely at that time
The Gu family was in desperate situation and it was only right to turn to the Bai family.
Bringing money to save a life, but also asking someone to be a concubine?! Come on! The fantasy is more realistic.
Gu Tingye leaned on the chair, sneered several times, looked at Minglan quietly, his eyes gradually became clear: "Because of this rumor, my eldest brother has hated me the most since I was a child, and I don't blame him. Anyway, I have always caused trouble.
, was the most unscrupulous one in the family. It wasn’t until many years later that my mother’s wet nurse, Aunt Chang, came to the capital to visit me and explained the cause and effect to me. It turned out that Mrs. Qin was already weak, and there were rumors in the house that she was marrying the Bai family’s daughter.
The siege was about to be rescued, and she died in childbirth because of her thoughts and sorrows. The Bai family didn't know this, and my grandfather married my mother. From then on, I often contradicted my father, and my temper became even worse...
…”
Minglan stared at Gu Tingye, feeling pitiful for him for the first time in her life. Marrying a merchant girl as Madam Hou was a great shame for the Gu family, and the existence of Madam Bai was a sign that the Gu family had been in dire straits; for this reason, the old Lord Hou allowed himself
Rumors slandering Mrs. Bai were spread, but they never defended her. Seeing Gu Tingye angry and desperate, and falling step by step, they never spoke frankly.
Of course, the Da Qin family is also very pitiful, but she has enjoyed blessings and lived a good life after all. Moreover, when a disaster comes, as Madam Hou, she has to be the one to suffer together. How much will it bring to Mr. Gu in the future?
It's enough to anger Bai Shi and Gu Tingye.
"...My father longed for his previous wife, and my mother had an irritable temper and was always unhappy in the house. The two of them were even more at odds. When my mother was pregnant with her second child, she had a quarrel with her father, gave birth prematurely, and died of hemorrhage."
Gu Tingye narrated calmly, as if it was someone else's business, with an unusually calm expression, "Now that I think about it, my father is not bad to me, it is indeed my fault. Now that I treat his wife, children and brothers so slowly, I'm afraid that he is underground.
Why don't you close your eyes?" As he spoke, he sneered again and again, his eyes full of cold mockery.
"How?" Gu Tingye looked at the dazed Minglan and raised his lips and said, "How wrong am I?"
"Why not?" Minglan finally came back to her senses. The past of the Gu family was too legendary, with betrayals, deceptions, conspiracies, rumors, and Count of Monte Cristo-style counterattacks. It was not easy to digest for a while.
Minglan asked incredulously, and actively gave reasons: "Everyone is good in this matter, except your mother. The Gu family has gained dignity and respect, and the Qin family has the same in-laws as before, but what has the Bai family gained? Mothers,
For nothing, a basin of sewage was poured on the body, and it was not peaceful to die. As a son, he was forced out of the house, and he was alone in the world. Have you ever thought about it, what if the fourth prince did not rebel? What if he accepted it calmly?
Where is the third prince as the heir apparent?"
Gu Tingye's eyes suddenly burned like fire, instantly burning out all self-deprecating sarcasm. He stared at Minglan and sneered from the bottom of his heart: "If the fourth prince does not rebel, the third prince will take the throne smoothly, and nothing will happen to the eighth prince."
.Then, everything in the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion remained as usual. Those who survived by eating the flesh and blood of the Bai family were still rich and prosperous, and those who stepped on our mothers continued to enjoy their honors. My father passed away, and I am not here. I am afraid that my mother’s memorial tablet will not be lost soon.
They will all be removed from the ancestral hall, but I will continue to hang out in the world."
Minglan nodded loudly and looked straight back: "So, if you are angry, you are absolutely right." Her tone was more sincere than when she asked to join the party.
Gu Tingye laughed inexplicably, and Aunt Chang also cursed Ningyuan Hou Mansion angrily from time to time, but he didn't feel the resonance, but was a little bored; in his opinion, the Bai family also had something wrong, knowing that Qi Dafei was still greedy.
After entering into this marriage, hoping for a miracle to happen, Mrs. Bai knew that the future was difficult and did not make much plans, so she died early.
Every time he thought of this, he would sneer and be indifferent.
The anger and grievances I felt when I was young are no longer so passionate today. After being used to seeing honor and disgrace in life and death, I am not so easily excited. It seems that after the blazing flame burns, there are only a few ashes left. Now,
He just felt unwilling. Did he come into this world entirely because of a piece of silver?
To this day, after listening to Minglan's words just now, Gu Tingye's long-indifferent memories became hot again. Yes, in fact, he had always secretly hated him, but he couldn't express his hatred in his mouth, so he had to laugh coldly.
thing.
Gu Tingye sighed. It turned out that it was not that difficult to admit that he hated his relatives. For many years, he had been unable to express his secrets to others. Today, he actually said it out so simply, which made him feel very happy.
It seems that it is really good to have a wife who can help him find reasons to hate his relatives.
"That's right." Minglan twisted her fingers and asked hesitantly, "Um...mother-in-law, how much dowry did you bring?"
"About one million taels of silver, and there are some farm shops." Gu Tingye said smoothly.
Minglan was stunned, almost wanting to beat her chest and shout - Oh my god, my god, one million taels of silver! If she had this money and a father who loved her, why not hire a team of guards?
Group, find a loyal and reliable master, travel overseas, hunt for adventures in the Western Regions, what a beautiful world! Even if I kill her, I won’t marry such a wealthy widower who still loves his ex-wife deeply!
Ms. Bai, Ms. Bai, Daddy Bai, Daddy Bai, what do you want everyone to say about you?
at last--
"It's true that a man is not guilty, but he is guilty of having a jade." Minglan said softly, with a sad look on his face, and stood with his hands down.
Gu Tingye gently pulled Minglan into his arms, feeling quite moved in his heart. He hugged her and comforted her for a long time before saying, "Don't be sad, it's been a long time."
The author has something to say:
Duomu has written a new story, which is extremely exciting and exciting. Everyone, please go and watch it. It’s called "Lost Continent". I just read this one too late.
Duomukeng has excellent quality and can be called a model worker. I have always been very pretty about her.
