"...Sure enough, Erlang of the Gu family has really grown up. (·~)" the old man said slowly.
"I have inquired carefully, and it is indeed true." A slightly stout middle-aged man stood beside the bench and replied in a low voice, "Dudu Gu burned a box full of IOUs on fire, and the shouts in the village
It can be heard even from miles away. The most amazing thing is that the governor gave those bastards a generous sum of severance money."
In the square weapons room that is ten feet wide, there are tall beech wood racks erected on the three large walls, and various weapons such as swords, guns, swords, halberds, axes, hooks and forks are hung on them. The sun is bright outside and shines into the room through the high windows.
The blades of weapons reflected in the room were dazzling.
Bo Tianzhou is already sixty-seven this year, but he is still tall and strong, with strong muscles and bones. The habit he developed when he was young makes him feel uncomfortable if he does not touch weapons for a day. At this time, he is sitting on the bench by the window, using clear oil and
The flannel cloth repeatedly wiped a two-foot-long hundred-forged steel horse-killing sword. Next to him stood a slightly stout middle-aged man.
"After three days of review, he didn't show any signs of his behavior. He is really calm." Bo Tianzhou put down the velvet cloth, stroked his beard with one hand and sighed, "It's strange that he can become famous in the rough! In this way, I will let you two little ones go.
His account is pretty good. I don’t ask for anything at this age, I just want my children and grandchildren to be safe. If I can leave you another seal before I close my eyes, it will be worth my life."
"Father, please don't say that!" Bo Jun knelt down with tears in his eyes, "It's all because of his incompetence, his incompetence in literature and martial arts, why should my father have to worry about his children and grandchildren at such an old age! Now that the world is peaceful, my father will
Take good care of yourself and enjoy the blessings at home, and don’t work too hard anymore! If my father said this, wouldn’t it kill my son, my son, my son..." He lowered his head and shed tears.
"That's it, that's all, get up!" Bo Tianzhou couldn't help but stare at the sight of his young son crying and wiping away his tears, "I didn't come back with any merit, but I learned a lot of bad rules. No one in the world is immortal, you old man
If you are not a human being, won’t you die? What’s wrong with getting more benefits for your own flesh and blood before you die! If the old man is still willing to drop the golden beans, shut up! Get up! Wipe your face dry!”
Bo Jun managed to hold back his tears, sobbed to calm his breathing, and lowered his voice: "...My father has been fighting for more than fifty years, and the second and third brothers died on the border before they even got married. We
If we talk about meritorious service, we should have been granted a knighthood long ago..."
Bo Tianzhou felt sad when he thought of his two sons who died young. He ignored the eldest son and picked up the velvet cloth to clean the sword carefully. He said to himself: "The late emperor was gentle and kind, and he served as a servant under him.
There is no big reward but it is safe. Even some mistakes can be brushed aside; but today is different..."
Bo Jun looked at his father blankly and speculated in a low voice: "So my father retreated bravely and released the military talisman and the emperor early."
"What's the point of rushing? What's the point of retreating if you're brave? How can you earn a title if you really retreat? My ex-son wants to serve as chief minister, and his son, grandson, and son-in-law are all capable, so what do I have? But I have a stupid gang leader like you!
"
Bo Tianzhou stared at him, but he saw that the honest and blunt son couldn't even say a sweet excuse. He just stood there and was scolded. The old man looked at it and sighed helplessly, "You have to remember, there are
When the time comes, retreating does not mean retreating. There are also people who use retreating to advance. For example, what Gu Erlang did this time is an excellent example."
Bo Jun is an honest man. If he doesn't understand, he just doesn't understand, and he can't pretend. The old man looks puzzled, sighs, and patiently teaches: "Then Gu Xiaoming looks like he has not only suffered a big loss, but is also a coward."
, you think so too, right?”
"Exactly. (·~)" Bo Jun nodded, went to his father's side and sat down, gently rubbing his old legs for his father, "The late emperor was kind, and he had given it to all the emperors."
Although there was an explicit order not to increase taxes, those village leaders dared to do such evil things. The village with a tax of three to five thousand taels only lasted for about ten years.
How can there be such a ridiculous thing as borrowing money! The laws of nature and state are intolerable!"
"Nonsense!" Bo Tianzhou sighed to himself. Although he was not smart, he was not confused either. He simply said, "You can figure this out, why can't the Gu family understand it? You are a very smart person!"
The old man felt his mouth was dry, so he raised his head and picked up a glossy purple sand teapot from the small flat table beside him. He took a long sip of tea from the spout and then continued: "This matter really cannot withstand scrutiny. Who are you fooling?"
None of them worked. Gu Xiaoran could have exposed the matter and asked the inspection department or the prefectural government office to come for trial, or ask the eunuch in charge of the village to question him. But in this case, the problem would be pushed to the emperor. How many villages did the royal family have?
Given the generosity of the late emperor, and how many hands are involved, if other villages also start to cause trouble, what will the emperor do? Thoroughly investigate? Severely punish? How many people are involved, it is still early!"
Bo Jun took the teapot from his father's hand and put it aside gently. Hearing the old man continue, "The Emperor cannot fight this lawsuit openly. He can only slowly replace the previous people one by one. One by one, one court and one court.
When it comes to the harem and other realms, the emperor has his own people to settle, so it’s time for the people in the van to move."
"Gu Xiao asked those short-sighted people to report the account on the spot, and carried out another three to forty thousand taels of silver in one go. Everyone from Shuntian Mansion, the local inspection department, and the people in the palace watched helplessly.
"Bo Tianzhou stroked the long sword in his hand. The sword's edge glowed with a green light. A strange smile appeared on his face covered with old wrinkles. "As soon as this matter spreads out, people will calculate the accounts, and everyone will
Knowing how dark the village was, how could a village leader have the courage? There are people behind him. Secondly, if this matter is stopped, those behind him will not be offended. Thirdly, he can still be considerate and kind.
It’s a good name. It really kills three birds with one stone.”
"After the review a few days ago, the emperor secretly rewarded Governor Gu with 50,000 taels of silver after the routine award. I guess the emperor knew it in his heart, so he gave the Gu family a tael." Only then did Bo Jun understand.
Bo Tianzhou laughed loudly, his majestic and thick eyebrows widening: "Gu Xiao quietly revealed the evil intentions of those imperial stewards. The emperor may be very happy at this moment! In the future, the emperor will have to lay off his men.
It’s also easier to manpower.”
Bo Jun understood everything, and secretly felt ashamed of his stupidity. After a while, he couldn't help but said: "I just made it easier for those vicious village bosses, and just let them go! Alas... But those tenant farmers finally got through, I
I heard that Governor Gu’s wife was very kind. She said that the old people in the village had worked hard all their lives and could not be left without support. She ordered that from now on, all direct relatives of the tenant farmers in the village who are over sixty years old should be given some money every year.
Clothes made of silver and rice.”
"I haven't mentioned the character of Erlang's little wife. Your mother has praised her several times, but I heard that she is a bit lazy at a young age and doesn't like to move around much." Bo Tianzhou thought of his old wife's words, nodded slightly, and looked at her.
In a flash, he murmured, "Are those a few cheaper? I'm afraid not necessarily."
…
Xishan is not a mountain, but a community of mountains stretching for thousands of miles. The mountains are full of green in spring, moonlit lotuses in summer nights, red maples in autumn, and clear snow in winter. Such beautiful scenery is not accessible to everyone for a spring outing. Xishan
There is a summer palace built on the best hilltop in the east, and there are only a few villages scattered on the other clumps of hills and ridges. Only the prominent relatives of the emperor or dignitaries can settle here. [Ye
*】【*】
After discussing with Gu Tingye that day, he asked Minglan to come to the hot spring resort first.
Along the way, Minglan opened the car curtain and took a few sneak peeks. She was filled with beautiful scenery, and she was already intoxicated. When she entered the village, she saw beautiful scenery everywhere. Looking from a distance, the hills in front and behind were undulating gently, as if she had suddenly arrived in a peach garden. Inside the house
The decoration was also quite elegant and exquisite. Minglan liked it very much and praised the manager of the village very much.
This steward was originally an old Qinza member of Gu Tingye's army. He had been with the army for many years and had always been thorough, loyal and diligent. Later, he became disabled in the rebellion. The family had no permanent property, and the house was full of sick and young children. Suddenly, the family's fortune was gone.
As soon as he got there, he simply surrendered to Gu Tingye.
Since entering this hot spring villa, Minglan has lost her restraint and normalcy for the first time in her life. She is either riding a cool bamboo sedan to admire the scenery in the village, or wearing a curtain hat to go to the back village to pick new oranges; her daily food is freshly picked fruits and vegetables and
The freshly harvested mountain flavor, various forest mushrooms with incomplete names, are served in various ways; the key point is that there are three or four springs in the village, and the hot springs are hot all year round.
A wooden tray floated on the water, and fruits and honey wine soaked in the cold well water were placed on it. She soaked in it for half an hour every day, which made her whole body feel comfortable.
There was no need to manage the house, no need to put on a show, and no family members of noble ladies who came to visit from time to time. After a few days, Minglan felt that all the bones in her body were loosened, and she thought that it would be good to live like this.
Unfortunately, such good days only lasted four days, and then Gu Tingye came.
The man who had just finished dealing with foreign affairs and internal matters was very tired. The inspection at the school field was not a trivial matter. There were no red flag cars at this time. In addition, this time the emperor was determined to check the entire army. Even if he only inspected for one day, he would have to ride a horse for more than a hundred miles. What's more,
Not to mention that Governor Gu, the deputy commander-in-chief of this review, had to run for about three hundred miles every day. Not to mention that he had to hone his patience with a group of veterans.
The gun is always scheming and very tiring.
Minglan looked at the fatigue on the man's face, lowered her head and pointed at her fingers: The so-called good man does not talk with his mouth. He is so busy every day, and he insists on going back to the village to spend the night every night... Apart from feeling distressed, she also started to fight.
Serve with good spirit.
Seeing that the man's muscles and bones were tired and stiff, Minglan volunteered to give him a massage.
At that time, Yao Yiyi had a best friend who was a fan of SPA massage. Not only did she often go to the beauty salon to do it, but she also studied it on her own. Under the influence, Minglan also became a little proficient. In her opinion, the small fist hammer or beauty of the ancient inner house
Hammer massage is just scratching the surface and has no real effect in relieving fatigue. The real essence of massage lies in the fingers and palms. It is completed with several basic movements such as poking, pressing, kneading, pushing, rubbing and pulling. Beating these two
This action is just an auxiliary action.
Later, after learning some human acupuncture points from Mrs. He, Minglan became more confident, and Mrs. Sheng praised her granddaughter's skills. Unexpectedly, an accident happened when she arrived at Gu Tingye's place.
It goes without saying that men have thicker skin and thicker flesh than women. They have been practicing martial arts for many years. From their shoulders and arms to their abdomen and slender legs, they are all strong and strong light brown muscles. The whole body is well-proportioned without a trace of fat, with high density and strong hardness.
, Minglan was sweating profusely as she massaged her. She did not care about her technical skills and used all her strength to hit and pound her. Gu Tingye still said with an unmoved expression, "There is nothing to worry about."
Minglan and Guizhou donkeys have no skills.
At this time, the man suddenly said that he had seen children on boats stepping on the backs of adults and massaging them in the Lingnan area.
Minglan wiped her sweat with her handkerchief and said angrily: "Your daughter is in the capital, and I don't know about your son."
Gu Tingye silently lay back on the pile of pillows. After a while, he expressed his voice that Minglan could do it for him.
"How can this happen?" Minglan objected in shock, and seriously stated that she was a good wife who abided by women's ethics, so she was allowed to step on her husband? If the old lady found out, she would be punished by copying the "Female Commandments".
"Let's just step on it secretly without letting others know."
"I'm not a child, you're not afraid of being trampled to death." Minglan narrowed her eyes to scare her.
Gu Tingye immediately stood up and hugged Minglan, weighing the weight to show that there was nothing wrong with him. While urging, he also started to help Minglan take off her shoes and socks, revealing two white, fat and pink little feet, ten of which were bald.
With her little toes, Minglan gritted her teeth and held on to the railing on top of the bed, and stepped on the man's back cautiously.
Minglan only dared to put one foot up at first, but the man said it was gentle. Minglan was so embarrassed that she put both feet up, thinking that if he didn't yell hard enough, she would do the bunny dance on his back.
I can’t help but stamp you to death!
The man's back was very broad, and his back muscles were flat and strong. Minglan stepped on it very steadily, poking her toes, pressing her soles, and rubbing her heels. Gu Tingye squinted his eyes and looked very comfortable.
Herbal baths, hot spring baths, various warm and tonic stews suitable for early summer, as well as cool fruits stuffed with wild honey and fresh fruit pulp, three meals a day are carefully prepared, such as stewed squab with ginseng, red dates, and fish skin with Longjing shrimps,
Dictyophora and bird's nest in a chicken cup, jellyfish salad with shredded lettuce, cabbage and beef louver soup...the taste may be light or rich, and the taste will be moist on the tongue.
Within three or two days, the man came back to life with full blood. The fatigue of the past few days was wiped away. Not only was he once again vigorous and energetic, he was even more energetic than usual. Then his eyes glowed green and he looked at him with suggestive eyes.
Minglan is wilting again.
Minglan's ears twitched three times for no reason.
Gu Tingye was in his prime and had been a vegetarian for a long time. Now he started eating meat without restraint. Before it got dark, he pushed Minglan to the bed. At first, Minglan was enthusiastic for a few days, but the man's
The reaction was astonishing, and she deeply felt that if it wasn't for recycling, he would have swallowed her with her skin and bones. Then she couldn't stand it anymore and began her life of crying and begging for mercy again.
The hot and humid room, the low-hanging azure-colored gauze curtain, was filled with a strong erotic breath, thin cries, I don't know if they were begging or moaning, the bed was in a mess, and the limbs were still in shape.
In entanglement.
The man leaned on her, holding her slender waist with one hand, and used the other hand to wipe away the tears on her face, lifting her buttocks, and the pain became more and more intense. Minglan's body was burning, and she covered her eyes with both hands,
Crying softly, the man dragged her hands away, but her charming big eyes were so wet that they seemed to be dripping with water, and her face was flushed. Little did he know that her appearance was just adding fuel to the fire.
The man's eyes turned red. He held one of her legs firmly and pushed in hard. Minglan whined. He rubbed her body tenderly, hoping she would feel better.
She was shaking violently, and there were two spots of bright red on her chest, as fresh as cherry blossoms. He leaned over to kiss them, sucking them as if he wanted to melt them. Yuxue's delicate body was filled with red waves, and she was smeared with rouge.
As tempting as she was, her legs were hanging limply on his waist and she had no strength. He tried to lift her legs up to his shoulders. She knew how powerful it was, so she trembled with fear and quickly tightened her arms around his thick waist.
There was a contraction, and he roared in response, biting her neck like crazy, and rubbing her breasts with his big hands.
In the chaos of heaven and earth, Minglan hugged the head that was leaning on her chest. The man's dark and thick hair was already wet with sweat. The two of them were panting and mute. Her body was numb and numb, as if it had turned into a pool of water.
He screamed and begged for mercy all over the place, saying "good brother, good uncle", saying nice things, just hoping that he would end it soon.
The wheezing gradually stopped, Gu Tingye exhaled heavily, hugged her hot body and kissed her, lingering ambiguously on her cheek, breathing heavily: "Silly boy, why are you crying? I don't know how happy this is.
What?"
Minglan slumped on the bed sorely, as if she had lost all her strength, and said sadly intermittently: "... Just come here a few times, my waist is sore..."
"Let's go to the spring and we won't be sore anymore." Gu Tingye rubbed the soft snow ball on her chest, which was as smooth and warm as fresh goat's milk.
Minglan's face burned again, she shook her head and buried her head in the thin silk quilt. She was trapped in the hot spring by him last time, and she was pressed naked by him on the water stone by the spring.
After lying there for two hours, she no longer dared to go to the spring.
After all, the vacation he took from the emperor was not long, and after a few days, the two of them returned home.
Strictly speaking, this time they saw landscapes, flowers and birds, domesticated ones, climbed half a small hill, and Houzhuang. Gu Tingye promised to take her to see the sunrise on the top of the mountain, but it was in vain, but at least they were able to play together hand in hand.
Well, it's a honeymoon.
Minglan suddenly remembered her older cousin, who excitedly planned a luxurious and perfect six-day honeymoon in Hainan Island before getting married, but when she came back, she rushed to Yao Yiyi to help her Photoshop a set of photos - during the honeymoon, they were so busy that they almost didn't go
What attractions.
I think most honeymoons are like this; Minglan finally understood.
Along the way, Gu Tingye rode on his horse with a spring breeze on his face, pointing at the scenery along the road and saying a few words from time to time. Minglan hid in the carriage and pretended to be dead, lying on the mattress without saying a word; until the carriage passed through the gate of Chengyuan, she changed to a sedan chair.
At that moment, Minglan looked up and saw him standing under the hanging flower door, looking at her with a smile but not a smile. She felt inexplicably guilty and suddenly blushed, as if blood was dripping from her face.
Not long after returning to the house, before Minglan could take off the gold-encrusted sapphire crown for Gu Tingye, someone hurriedly came to report at the door. The person who came turned out to be Xiang's mother. She looked a little anxious, but she was still calm and only said Ning Yuan.
The Marquis Mansion invited them both to come over for a chat. It's an urgent matter, so please come over quickly.
Minglan had a puzzled look on her face, but Gu Tingye beside her didn't ask a question, and just said steadily: "I think it's urgent, so I won't ask. I'll ask my mother to go back first, and we'll go after changing our clothes."
He bowed calmly to his mother and went out.
When Minglan turned around and went into the inner room to change her clothes, Qin Sang quietly got into the room with a look of worry on her face. She leaned into Minglan's ear and said, "Madam, do you know that within two days of your departure, the official went to the Marquis Mansion?"
It’s time to ask someone for questioning!”
Minglan's forehead jumped and her heart tightened; her first reaction was to look at Gu Tingye. Through the gap in the bamboo curtain, she saw him sitting on the edge of the bed with a calm expression. He raised his feet to let Xia He and Xia Zhu take his place.
Take off your boots.
