Gu Xingnuo did not wait for the old man to ask him any more questions, and started talking to him about military affairs, which took him half a day. The old man's mind was led by Young Master Gu, and in the end he just thought about asking his wife to ask Xu later. As for management, how could an old man manage his daughter-in-law's affairs?
"Oh, and there's also the matter of Zhao Qiu Ming's daughter," Young Master Gu said at the end, turning the topic to Miss Zhao San.
The old man slapped the tea table and said, "This treacherous minister deceived the emperor. I will go to the palace and report him to the emperor."
Gu Xingnuo shook his head and said, "Grandfather, knowing that his daughter is in our hands, how could Zhao Qiuming still recognize this daughter?"
The old man said, "He doesn't even recognize his own daughter?"
"Adopting a daughter is deceiving the emperor," Gu Xingnuo said, "If it were me, I wouldn't acknowledge her either."
Old man..., you are actually talking about yourself in this kind of thing, is this really okay?
Young Master Gu said to himself, "Xing Lang is still worried that we will help Zhao Qiu Ming clear the charge of assassinating Young Master Fenglin. In my opinion, he is worrying for nothing."
The old man weighed the two charges in his mind and said, "The charge of assassinating Master Fenglin is more serious, right?"
"Zhao Qiuming must be in collusion with the Eternal Life Temple," Gu Xingnuo said in a low voice, "otherwise His Majesty would not have waited until now to deal with Zhao Qiuming."
Zhao Qiu Ming also colluded with the Eternal Life Temple? The old man suddenly thought of the word "fickle", and then he was embarrassed by himself.
Young Master Gu said everything he wanted to say and stood up to leave.
The old man asked, "What are you going to do with Miss Zhao San?"
"She is just an abandoned daughter of the Zhao family," Gu Xingnuo said, "It all depends on her own luck."
This is what it means to let Miss Zhao San fend for herself. The old man waved his hand to let his eldest grandson go. After a prison disaster, his eldest grandson seemed to be colder and more calculating. The old man was not happy, but he also understood that if you want to survive in this world, good people will always have a hard time.
Coming out of the old man's bedroom, Gu Xingnuo was blocked by Madam Sun in the corridor. Young Master Gu smiled at his wife, took the medicine bowl from Madam Sun's hand, and drank the medicine in two gulps.
Madam Sun looked at her husband's pale face and felt sad, but she also knew that she couldn't persuade him, so she could only say to Master Gu, "If you are tired, take a rest. Haven't you arranged for Grandfather and his second uncle to leave tomorrow?"
"It's almost done," Gu Xingnuo put the empty medicine bowl on the corridor railing and whispered, "I'm going to let mother move out of the house. You should prepare more clothes and things for her these days."
Mrs. Sun was startled and asked, "Why is this?"
Gu Xingnuo said calmly, "Mother wants to leave the house, so let's follow her wish."
Madam Sun looked at Gu Xingnuo worriedly and said, "My husband, have you made up your mind?"
Gu Xingnuo nodded, stood up from the railing of the corridor, and walked towards the flower hall in the west corner.
Mrs. Sun stood there for a while, then took a few maids and old women to the courtyard where Mrs. Xu lived.
Li Yuanle and Li Wan, brother and sister, who were sitting in the flower hall in the west corner, also heard the loud noise in Young Master Gu's courtyard, but they were guests, and guests who could not show up in public, so even though they were concerned, they could only sit in the flower hall and wait.
Gu Xingnuo walked into the hall, sat down on a chair, pounded his legs which were now feeling unsteady, looked at General Li and Miss Li and said, "Have you discussed it?"
Li Yuanle said: "Brother, my sister and I just heard a noise, what was that?"
"Oh, nothing," Gu Xingnuo said, "something happened in the small kitchen in Xinglang Courtyard."
Such a loud noise, like thunder, was just a minor incident? Neither the Li brothers nor their sisters believed it.
"Tell me about you guys," Gu Xingnuo smiled again and said, "Yuan Le, what do you think?"
Li Yuanle said: "Brother, I want to see Xiong Xiong."
Young Master Gu nodded and said, "Okay, what about after we meet?"
Li Yuanle was aggrieved, and after a long while he said, "I don't ask for anything else now, as long as he treats me well."
After hearing what Li Yuanle said, Gu Xingnuo looked at Li Wan and said with a smile: "Then I would like to congratulate Miss Li first."
Li Wan looked embarrassed and lowered her head.
When Li Yuanle saw his younger sister's appearance, he sighed secretly. He would rather see his younger sister like this than the heartbroken look she had when she was sent to the palace.
"Li's sister lives with me," Gu Xingnuo said, "Xiong Xiong is working with the princess now. When to do something, let your fourth brother discuss it with Xiong Xiong."
Li Yuanle said: "Brother, can that guy marry my little sister in such a grand manner?"
"I don't want it," Li Wan said hurriedly. With her current status, it was a blessing from God that she could find someone to grow old with. Why did she still ask for a grand wedding with a red bridal gown?
Li Yuanle's face immediately turned dark again.
Li Wan pulled her fourth brother's sleeve and looked at him pleadingly.
Gu Xingnuo covered his mouth and coughed, saying, "Don't worry about this Li family sister. Let your fourth brother and Xiong Xiong take care of her themselves."
"Where are the Xiong Xiong people?" Li Yuanle asked.
"I asked him to go to the street to buy food," Gu Xingnuo said, "You also know that my grandfather and Xingyan will leave Beijing for their hometown tomorrow."
Li Yuanle then bowed to Young Master Gu and said, "I forgot that I have an extra 100,000 soldiers. Brother Gu, Yuanle congratulates you."
Gu Xingnuo waved his hand and said, "The Ministry of War has no food or grass. It's hard to say whether this is a good thing or a bad thing."
The smile on Li Yuanle's face froze. He and his son were both men who led troops to garrison a place. Young General Li knew the nature of the Ministry of War.
"Let's not talk about this anymore," Gu Xingnuo finished crying about being poor and let out a long sigh, ending the topic.
Li Yuanle asked, "Where are the people from Xinglang?"
Young Master Gu smiled. What else could Young Master Gu do at this moment except accompany his wife?
The craftsmen who were rebuilding the small kitchen had already entered the yard where Gu Xinglang and Yu Xiaoxiao lived. Seeing the fire remnants that had been moved out and piled together, Yu Xiaoxiao felt heartbroken.
Gu Xinglang saw his wife staring at the pile of junk, frowning and sighing, so he said, "Why don't we go see Xu Wei?"
Yu Xiao: "See the fat girl from Zhao Qiuming's family?"
Gu Xinglang nodded. At least his wife didn’t feel any pain when she saw the fat girl.
Yu Xiaoxiao followed Gu Xinglang and didn't want to make herself unhappy, which was also one of Instructor Yu's life creeds.
After watching the young couple leave, Tian Xingzi looked at the empty space and said, "When will this house be built?"
Nanny Wang turned her head to look at the Taoist priest standing beside her and asked, "Why are you here?"
Tian Xingzi asked, "Then where should I be?"
"Take him to the bathhouse and brush him," Nanny Wang pointed at the Taoist priest and Xiao Sha and said, "When he is brushed clean, let him out."
The old Taoist felt that this was a rhythm of skinning him alive.
