Chapter 322 323. Ancient II
The days of waiting are always torturous. The father and his two sons suppressed Wang Caiyue and prevented her from running over early in the morning.
In order to see this person, I even quit all my work for the day, washed up, and waited quietly for the time to come.
Granny Li, who was standing nearby, saw the whole family sitting in front of the gate, leaning on their crutches, and asked curiously, "Aren't you going to work today?"
The old lady has lived on this street for decades and walks through it every day, so she knows the situation of these people best.
This family all fled here to escape famine. If they didn't work for a day, they might go hungry the next day, which is very abnormal.
Wang Caiyue puffed out her chest and said, "Grandma Li, we're going home soon. I guess we won't come back to this place again."
Gu Yuanmu quickly pulled the person to the back and said, "Grandma Li, don't argue with her. She has some paranoia in her head. Are you going to buy groceries?"
Granny Li squinted her eyes and looked at them for a while. "If you are sick, take him to see a doctor immediately. I heard that hypochondria can sometimes hurt people. If it is true, I will ask the Wu family not to rent the house to you. After all, there are many children in this alley."
Gu Yuanmu wanted to slap himself in the face at this moment, but he could only smile awkwardly, "I was just joking just now. It's all the fault of this kid's mother. She always likes to talk nonsense. I will definitely teach her a lesson later."
Granny Li waved her hands. "That would be best, but young man, the weather is so good, you should go and earn some extra money. It's not easy to get by in Beijing."
Watching the figure gradually receding, Wang Caiyue finally shook off the hands of her two sons, "By then, we will definitely be better off than her, and she will have to live in poverty here all her life."
Although Gu Yuanmu was honest, he had his own opinions. Seeing that his wife always lumped Lao Qi and his family together, he got angry and said, "You'd better shut up. If you dare to say such nonsense again when we get to Lao Qi's house, I will ask Lao Qi to write a divorce letter for me. You can stay wherever you want."
"You are such a heartless person, are you starting to dislike me just because you see your brother is getting rich?
I'm telling you, I only have this one miserable life now, so let's just waste time, and your wishful thinking will definitely not work."
Gu Lehuan and Gu Lexi exchanged glances and silently retreated to the corner. Since it would be wrong to help anyone, it would be better to wait quietly for them to finish their quarrel. Soon everything would be calm again.
Sure enough, the couple was arguing and actually discussing whether they should bring something with them when they visited the house for the first time.
The Gu Lehuan brothers, "..."

Today's court was destined not to be as dull as yesterday, but this thunderous rage also made the civil and military officials dare not provoke the young emperor as before.
It is said that the Ministry of Internal Affairs has killed dozens of people from yesterday to today, and some ministers also disappeared from the court today.
Hua Shunming sat on the throne with a cold face, "I never thought that the late emperor and I have raised so many rats over the years.
Where is the Minister of Revenue? "
Zhou Shicong stood up timidly and said, "I am here."
"Go back and make a statistical report for me, from the time of the late emperor to now, how much silver the Ministry of Internal Affairs has withdrawn from the Ministry of Revenue, and the entire Ministry of Revenue must conduct a self-inspection for me, even those officials who have been honored, as long as they are involved, they will all be investigated."
"The Minister of History..."
“…”
No one had expected that the young emperor would go to such lengths regarding this matter. No one dared to stand up and oppose the imperial edicts that were issued one after another.
Seeing that several other ministers had received the imperial edict, the Minister of Works Mao Bingyan quietly patted his chest. Fortunately, although he was the least valued, at least he would rarely be involved in these matters.
The most unfortunate among them was the former prime minister Kuang Yujun, who was demoted to the Taiyuefu to compile books because of the disaster victims' affairs last time.
In the past two years, the emperor had finally changed his opinion of him, but he didn't expect that this incident would directly implicate him again.
This time, Hua Shunming was completely ruthless and directly demoted the man to guard the city gate.
This set a precedent. From a prime minister to a yamen runner guarding the city gate, it was a complete demotion.
For a time, everyone in the court felt insecure, and naturally there were fewer voices of rebuttal.
Gu Wenheng once again faced everyone's surprised expressions and followed Scholar Gong to the upper study room.
"I'll have to trouble Lord Gu to recalculate these." Le San and his men brought a large stack of account books and placed them directly on the table.
The atmosphere in the harem these past two days was so low that he didn't dare to say or ask too much.
But he vaguely felt that in the emperor's heart, he no longer wanted to trust anyone. The accounts had obviously been calculated twice, and now he asked Gu Xiuzhu to calculate it again.
Le San looked up at Gu Wenheng. This uproar was exposed by this Lord Gu, but he looked calm and composed these past two days, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.
Gu Wenheng: "..." This is not related at all. If you insist on involving them, then he is also a meritorious person, but he does not want to take the credit.
After calculating for two consecutive days, Gu Wenheng felt that he had turned into a human computer, with nothing in his mind except numbers.

Jin Qianqian had just packed up early in the morning and was about to go out to attend the full moon banquet, but unexpectedly the doorman received an apology gift saying that the host had something going on and the banquet was cancelled.
Jin Qianqian understood it immediately. It must be the influence of the court. At this time, no one dared to have fun.
"That's perfect," Jin Qianqian relaxed and immediately leaned back on the couch without any image. "Help me take off these hair accessories and change into casual clothes. Liqiu, go and bring Young Master Luo and the others over. It's just right that I can play with them today."
Children grow up day by day, and they only have a few years to play. When they start to learn, life will not be so easy anymore.
Several older girls immediately took action, each doing their own job, and soon got everything done.
Jin Qianqian held Cancan in one hand and touched Luoluo with the other. Seeing the two children's smiling faces, Jin Qianqian felt a little guilty.
"Mom, you won't go out today, right?" Gu Benluo asked curiously, raising his head. Although he had heard the wet nurse and others say it before, he would rather ask Jin Qianqian.
Jin Qianqian pulled him into her arms and said, "Well, what do you think, Luo Luo?"
Gu Benluo pointed in the direction of the mansion gate and said, "Mom, go out and play."
Gu Bencan, who was still confused in his arms, also danced around in response and made a sound of "ah ah ah".
"Brother wants to go out too, right?" Gu Benluo reached out and touched Gu Bencan's round little face until he showed two dimples, then he took his hand away with satisfaction.
Jin Qianqian, "Then I'll take you outside for a walk, but you have to follow me closely, okay?"
