Chapter 556 558. Live a few more years

Li Cuicui asked Mrs. Song and Luo Gang to go downstairs to eat first, and said coldly, "You finally understand. Now I am not afraid to tell you that I broke your legs on purpose.

Rather than letting you cause trouble for the family outside, I would rather let you, the troublemaker, be eliminated directly."

"you……"

"What about me? If you tell others now, who will believe you? Aren't you curious why your sons didn't come today?"

"Don't mention these unfilial sons to me..."

"Shut your stinky mouth," Li Cuicui shouted at him, "My sons are filial enough. In order to clean up the mess for your biological father, they arrived in Fu County early in the morning as soon as the city gate opened.

I think things should be mostly done by now, I believe you are looking forward to it too!"

"You, you vicious woman..."

"Oh, I don't want to be accused of this. When it comes to poison, I guess no one can compare to you.

No, I was wrong. It should be stupid. Who would give you a lot of money for no reason?

Do they want you to be ugly and old? So that you can satisfy their special fetishes?"

Gu Dashi lowered his head in inferiority. No matter how confident he was, he had to admit that what the old woman said was true.

At the beginning, he did notice that there was something unusual here, but with the benefits he got and Chen's encouragement, he felt inflated.

But he just wanted to live a comfortable life for a few days, so he didn't sell his sons.

"Mom, we're back." The voice arrived before Gu Yuanshui's people arrived.

Li Cuicui simply called all her sons in. She watched as her sons and daughters-in-law filled the small room in an instant, but she didn't chase them away.

"Tell me, how did you deal with it?"

Gu Yuanjin glanced at Gu Dashi.

"What are you looking at him for? If you have anything to say, just say it."

Gu Yuanjin briefly explained the process and results.

Apart from throwing away his pillow and quilt, Gu Dashi could only stare angrily at everyone in the room.

"How dare you?"

Li Cuicui clapped her hands and asked her son and daughter-in-law to go out. Then she smiled and said, "Others just gave you a maid. As the mistress of the family, I can naturally deal with her. Look how anxious you are.

I didn't expect that you've been jumping around for so long and it has actually helped to build my good reputation. This is the only thing you've done for me in your life.

Just for this reason, I will not change the meals for you in the next few days, and I will make sure you can recover comfortably."

Gu Dashi only regretted that he didn't have a sharp weapon with him at the moment, otherwise he would have killed the old woman first.

In just one day, he has been deserted by his relatives and friends, ignored by his clansmen, and his children and grandchildren are unfilial. Does this mean that he can only make a living under the control of this woman in the future?

When he thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a little weak. Cuicui here is not a generous person? Maybe she doesn't know how to hold a grudge in her heart.

If she doesn't like me one day, will she kill me silently?

If Li Cuicui knew what he was thinking, she would definitely roll her eyes at him. For the sake of his children and grandchildren, this scum must live a few more years.

Gu Wenheng also received an imperial edict from the emperor. In the next two years, he had absolute control over Lucheng.

"It seems that Brother Zhou understands the emperor better." Jin Qianqian originally thought that even if the memorial submitted by Gu Wenheng was approved, it would be discounted. She did not expect that there would be another extra surprise.

Gu Wenheng: "If you don't want to be an emperor whose name will go down in history, then you are not a good emperor.

Otherwise, he would not have started to clash with the old ministers in the court since he ascended the throne.

The ministers left behind by the previous emperor had too old-fashioned ideas. They almost listed a lot of rules and regulations, trapping the emperor in the middle.

But the biggest reason was the plan that my wife helped write.

Such a clear and promising plan, as long as the emperor is not stupid, he will agree to it. "

Jin Qianqian patted him and said, "You have to be careful about what you say outside. Don't get used to it. If you say something wrong, it will be a disaster."

Gu Wenheng quickly smiled ingratiatingly, "As long as the two of us are in the backyard, these people will stay far away. No one will hear it."

Jin Qianqian, "You have to be careful about that. Even if it's that plan, you have to remember that you completed it all by yourself."

Gu Wenheng, "But this is too unfair to you."

Jin Qianqian sighed, "Don't forget, we are in an era now, and sometimes telling others will bring me disaster.

This is good enough. I don't want to be in the spotlight. Besides, it's not that you can't write this thing. I just want to share the burden with you and take it on myself."

Gu Wenheng put his arm around her shoulders and said, "No matter what, I have to thank you for being here. I am sorry for the trouble."

Jin Qianqian stretched out her hand to push away the face that came closer to her, "If you really want to thank me, then show some sincerity."

"Ma'am, please give me your orders."

Jin Qianqian, "These days, I have gradually recruited some skilled boatmen, but I still lack places for training."

Gu Wenheng understood immediately, "I will invite Brother Zhou to Tianfu Restaurant for a gathering later. I think his venues are all vacant now. Do you want me to ask him to assign two more instructors?"

Jin Qianqian, "If there is, that would be the best. I'll leave everything to you."

Gu Wenheng pinched her nose unhappily, "We are a couple, do we still have to care about these things?"

Jin Qianqian slapped his hand away, "You were the one who started it..."

"...I was wrong," Gu Wenheng apologized immediately. His wife was always right anyway.

Jin Qianqian snorted, "That's good to know.

There is one more thing I need to tell you. The boys from Minister Cao's family each sent me two thousand taels of silver yesterday, saying it was their share of the investment. I accepted it."

"Are they so generous?" Gu Wenheng was a little surprised. He had heard that Lord Cao was very strict with these children and grandchildren, and sometimes they didn't even have monthly salary.

Jin Qianqian, "Don't forget, the daughter-in-law always comes with a dowry. Just because Lord Cao doesn't give it doesn't mean they don't have it."

Jin Qianqian really misunderstood this time. It was Cao Xiangqian's idea to bring money to these guys.

It's true that he is a reckless man, but having been in the officialdom for so many years doesn't mean he doesn't have any schemes.

The issue of maritime trade has been controversial in the court since ancient times, but there are always merchants willing to take the risk, as one can guess the huge profits involved.

Although no one has succeeded, what if the bet wins?

The chance of getting the first pot of gold was not completely impossible. He thought about it all night and immediately made a decision. The public treasury would give each of them 1,000 taels of silver, and let their own families collect the rest.

If they made a profit, it would be their private property, but if they lost money, the one thousand taels of silver would also be deducted.

So it is said that people become more experienced as they grow older. In this way, the other descendants of the Cao family who did not come here will have no objections.
