The old east wind comes to dream

Gu Zizhan didn't expect Mrs. Chu to be so dissatisfied with the result of the last debate, that there would be another overtime match.

She almost choked on her own saliva, and complained in her heart, she is really unbelievable!It is said that Taifu Chu values ​​rules and is extremely rigid, but he did not expect to be so narrow-minded and fond of holding grudges, and to be so aggressive and competitive.Gu Zizhan curled his lips in secret, he had no choice but to get up and confess, "My father-in-law is right, my son-in-law has been educated."

Seeing that she was deflated, the expression on his face remained unchanged, Taifu Chu nodded, and said coldly, "If you know your mistakes, you can correct them. There is nothing good about it. In the future, Mr. Gu should abide by the etiquette, be cautious in words and deeds, and know that the laws of heaven are permanent, The order of respect and inferiority must not be lost!"

That's what I said!It's clear that you want to make more money, get a bargain and act like a good boy!

Gu Zizhan's face also became stiff, and he was about to say something, but Chu Lan who was on the side spoke first.

Chu Lan's face was cold, and his tone was clear, "Soldiers are great talents, but they also distinguish between enemies and friends. Using your own spear to attack your own shield, you should not go to the art of war, but to go to the doctor."

After all, without looking at Grand Tutor Chu's expression, Chu Lan pulled Gu Zizhan up, took his leave and left.

Taifu Chu sat alone in the same place, his face was as cold as ice.After a long time, he suddenly smiled.

When they arrived at the gate of the Chu Mansion, Gu Zizhan was pulling Chu Lan to tell her jokes to divert her attention when he saw the old butler running out panting.Handing a sandalwood box to Chu Lan, watching Jian Wei take it and put it away, the old housekeeper couldn't help but ordered: "Miss, you must put it away yourself!"

Afterwards, he turned around again, with an apologetic face, and said to Gu Zizhan, "My lord, alas, my master has such a temper, don't take it to heart."

His sincere attitude made Gu Zizhan feel embarrassed.Hastily waved his hands, "Don't dare, dare not."

After getting into the carriage, Chu Lan looked at the sandalwood box with a complicated expression.

Seeing that Chu Lan hadn't opened it, Gu Zizhan was a little curious, and looked at her with his head, "You know what's inside without even looking at it?"

Chu Lan smiled and patted her on the head, "Sit down." She raised her hand again and opened the box.Gu Zizhan also tilted his head and stretched his neck to look in.

The box is not big, and there are not many things in it.A few pieces of jewelry and a black jade wrench.

Chu Lan just looked at the things inside without saying a word.Seeing her like this, Gu Zizhan sat down and asked cautiously, "Alan, do you have something on your mind?"

There were only two of them in the carriage, but when Gu Zizhan said this, he still lowered his voice, and his words were thoughtful.

Chu Lan looked at her, his eyes suddenly a little misty.After a long time, Chu Lan lowered her head slightly and smiled mockingly.

"This Moyu Finger Wrench is what my elder brother dreamed of."

The Chu family is an aristocratic family with a profound foundation and wealth that should not be underestimated. This small black jade finger ring is actually the only evidence to mobilize all of them.The power represented by it has always been coveted by Chu Mengze.Gu Zizhan was also stunned, he didn't expect that Taifu Chu handed it to Chu Lan so lightly and skillfully.

And those jewelry were all worn by Chu Lan's biological mother, Mrs. Fu before her death.

Chu Lan suddenly had mixed feelings.

After taking out a pair of ear beads, Chu Lan bit her lower lip lightly, "She wore them when she got married." She shook her head, with irony in her eyes, "It's so hard to find him all these years."

Without hiding anything from Gu Zizhan, Chu Lan talked about those past events in a calm tone.

Mrs. Fu was oppressed by Chu Mengze's biological mother back then. When she died, Grand Tutor Chu was patrolling other places. Many precious jewelries were robbed and sold by that wicked woman. The pair of ear beads were also lost at that time.Now that she was found by Grand Tutor Chu and handed back to Chu Lan, in the dark, the feeling that things are right and people are wrong is even more serious.

Gu Zizhan's heart ached from being pulled, she couldn't bear Chu Lan's lonely appearance.Chu Lan was lowering her head, and from Gu Zizhan's angle, she could just see the exposed fair neck, which was beautiful with a hint of fragility.It was hard for Gu Zizhan to resist the urge to touch her.

Approaching Chu Lan's side, Gu Zizhan said softly, "In the future, I will protect you."

Chu Lan's heart was warmed by what she said, and when she looked up at her, she saw Gu Zizhan's eyes clearly filled with distress and pity.She is the only one in Rumo's pupils, her admiration has nowhere to escape and is breathtaking.

Chu Lan clearly heard the sound of flowers blooming in the original desolation in her heart.

**********

On the second day, Gu Zizhan and Chu Lan went out together and took the same carriage.Gu Zizhan first got off the car at the Yamen Gate of Dali Temple, and talked to Chu Lan with a smile through the curtain of the car.

Thinking that she would almost be in time for dinner when she returned, she promised to buy some peach kernel cakes and glutinous rice cakes from Rongqingzhai for Chu Lan.

Chu Lan thanked her with a slight smile, and then heard Gu Zizhan shamelessly replying, "My wife, why are you being so polite?"

Chu Lan didn't speak for a while, Bai Er stared at Gu Zizhan with goosebumps all over his body, ready to wait for Chu Lan's order to escape from here.

Chu Lan sneered, "Bai Er, I don't need to pick her up at night." Opening the curtain of the car, she raised an eyebrow and smiled at Gu Zizhan, "My husband, why pick her up."

Gu Zizhan laughed, deliberately made a bitter face, and begged: "Good lady, good lady, don't make fun of me."

Chu Lan snorted angrily, put down the curtains, and beckoned Bai Er to drive away.The smile on his lips lingered for a long time.

Gu Zizhan stood where he was, watching the carriage gradually go away.This scene is like a dual-career family in modern society. Every day, two people go to work together and then watch each other leave. Although it is plain, this silent bond is the embodiment of the most intimate relationship.Filled with joy, Gu Zizhan turned around with a smile and walked towards Dali Temple.

As soon as Gu Zizhan turned his head, he saw Fu You looking at her maliciously.Seeing Gu Zizhan come back to his senses, Fu You smacked his lips, "Tsk tsk, you are really newlyweds, look at us, Mrs. Gu, we are about to become wives."

Gu Zizhan rolled his eyes at him, saw that there was no one behind him, and subconsciously asked, "Where's Wang Shuli?"

Fu You, however, looked like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, jumping and shouting: "How would I know!" He added, "We don't have a good relationship, why do you ask me!"

Seeing his angry look, Gu Zizhan became curious, pulled him back and asked, "What's wrong with you? Didn't you two get along well the day I got married? Why did you turn your face and deny anyone today? "

Fu You gritted his teeth: "That little bastard, his stinky mouth—"

"Hmph! That little bastard insists that I envy you and my little cousin's love as husband and wife, so I want to take my young master to Zhixiu Tower to see the girl! Damn, is his grandpa like me!"

Of course, in the original words, Wang Shuli also laughed at Fu You's self-defense, so he was severely taught by Fu You.

At this time, Wang Shuli also came. Seeing him, Fu You snorted coldly and left with his sleeves flung.Seeing Wang Shuli's face full of guilt with a smile on his face, Gu Zizhan glared at him, and said admonishingly: "You should also calm down, it doesn't matter if you are big or small!"

Wang Shuli didn't dare to contradict her, so he agreed, and when Gu Zizhan wasn't paying attention, he ran to chase after Fu You.From far away, I heard Wang Shuli yelling over there, "Fu You! You dare to sue my cousin. I have to try all [-] martial arts on you today! Slash your ass with a knife——Daddy told you to open your eyes!" !"

Gu Zizhan suddenly had a headache.

After Gu Zizhan entered, his colleagues saw her coming, and they all stepped forward to congratulate her.Walking all the way, talking and laughing with people all the way, when she reached the gate of the yamen's house, her face was about to freeze with laughter.Looking inside, Fu You, Wang Shuli, Xing Kang, and other acquaintances were already waiting inside.

After being teased again, Gu Zizhan has always been easy-going, and everyone has no scruples about her. In addition to Fu You and Wang Shuli's gags from time to time, those young people gathered together, laughing and making a fuss.

One of the older Si Zhi asked Gu Zizhan with a smile: "Gu Sicheng is now a young envoy, and his wife is in dire straits, and they are like glue. I guess it won't take long before the family can spread good news again."

Xing Kang, who came here, immediately burst into laughter, and said, "Yes, that's exactly the reason! It seems that I should prepare another gift for the congratulations I've been waiting for!"

When the two of them said this, the others understood, and laughed and teased Gu Zizhan, asking about how she got along with her new wife.

Gu Zizhan blushed, but fortunately these were all scholars, and what they asked and said was considered elegant.But just because he is a scholar, the undertones of those elegant words make people blush even more and dare not think deeply.

With a stinky face, Fu You scolded Gu Zizhan for taking a big deal.

Suddenly, the clerk who was letting the wind outside the door rushed in hurriedly, "Hurry up and leave, the master's people are here!"

This old man is naturally referring to Yan Junchi, Qing Qing of Dali Temple.

As soon as everyone heard this, they dispersed immediately. Gu Zizhan and Xing Kang sat down in a hurry, putting on an appearance of working hard.

As soon as he put on his posture, he saw a clerk come in and said to the two: "Xing Sizheng, Gu Sicheng, Sir Siqing, please go over."

Gu Zizhan and Xing Kang looked at each other, and hurriedly followed the person.

When they arrived outside Yan Junchi's house, they saw Fu You, Wang Shuli, and the two Si Cheng who usually lead them were also there. They glanced at each other and hurried in.

I saw Yan Junchi and Shaoqing Ma Chengda sitting together. After a few people saluted, Ma Chengda took a look at Yan Junchi's face, frowned slightly, and said: "There is a case to be investigated, and Xing Sizheng is the leader. Sicheng and Sicheng Wang are assisted. The three of you, together with Sicheng Gu, will take Fu and Wang Sizhi to make a handover with the Fifth Lord Jing Zhaoyin, bring the file back, and go immediately."

Several people looked at each other in blank dismay, all of them were shocked, why was it so sudden?

Xing Kang stepped forward and asked, "Dare to ask your lord, what are you investigating?"

Ma Chengda frowned, and replied: "The people of Jingzhao Mansion have found out that Si Zang Cheng of the Donggong Sizang Office is related to the private casting of official silver, and it has been submitted to the imperial court. His Majesty personally decreed that we Dali Temple will be responsible for the investigation. Case. You go first, and after the handover, Lord Siqing and this official will personally supervise the handling."

Gu Zizhan was very puzzled. The East Palace Sizang Chancellor was only a minor official of the ninth rank, so how could he have anything to do with such imperial taboos as private casting of official silver? If Dali Temple directly came forward to try it, it must be deeply involved.

Could it be that something happened to Donggong?
