“Okay, thank you doctor.” Dai Shi thanked him.
Gu Zhifeng frowned and asked Lao Gao: "Dad, is there anything unusual that requires you to call for Ping Anmai?"
“I’m just checking dad’s health.”
"Brother and sister, my eldest brother trusts you very much in this family, so he entrusted my father to the care of the second room. If you have any thoughts, I will not let the second room go." Gu Zhifeng already had doubts in his heart, so he turned around and said: " Gu Chi, go to the city and ask the best doctor to diagnose your grandfather's pulse."
Gu Chizi did not dare to reveal Ye Qianning's identity, so he only said: "Dad, no need, this doctor has very good medical skills."
Gu Zhifeng glared at her: "What's so good, but I'm not allowed to take any medicine. Is this good? These medicines are all top-quality medicines sent by the Zhan family. You can't stop taking them for one day."
“Dad, you...”
"I was introduced by the Zhan family." Ye Qianning said.
Gu Zhifeng was stunned.
Gu Chi's unfinished words suddenly changed: "Yes, dad, Doctor Ye is the doctor that Mr. Zhan introduced to the second aunt, so the second aunt invited him here."
Gu Zhifeng didn't believe it: "It was really introduced by Zhan Jia?"
Gu Chi nodded.
Gu Zhifeng still has some doubts in his mind.
"If Mr. Gu doesn't believe me, just send someone to Zhanjia to ask." Ye Qianning saluted Mr. Dai after saying: "Madam, the old man's pulse is stable and nothing is wrong, so I will leave first."
Dai Shi was very reluctant to leave after hearing this: "It's been a tiring journey, so let's stay and eat before leaving."
“No need, I have something else to do, so I won’t bother you.”
"Then...then...I'll give it to you." Dai Shi's eyes were red.
Ye Qianning shook his head slightly: "I remember the way out of the house, Madam stayed behind."
After speaking, she raised her feet and walked towards the door.
Dai Shi took two steps after him and stood at the door looking at the slender figure. This child must have suffered a lot.
"Second Aunt, I'll see her off." Gu Chi said and strode out of the yard.
Gu Zhifeng also went out, his expression still not good: "I will spend money to sell the house back. Then my father won't need your second wife to take care of it. My brothers and sisters should pack up and go back to their own homes early."
Dai Shi didn’t answer, just glared at him.
If he hadn't interfered, she would have been able to talk to her granddaughter more.
Gu Zhifeng was puzzled by her glare. Then he thought about it, Gu Shuo was back, and he was among them when Gu Shuo left the clan. Although he didn't do it, he knew it.
When everyone gathered around to interrogate Gu Shuo, he made a false confession knowing that it was not him.
At that time, the old man valued Gu Shuo too much. He did have very selfish motives and did something he shouldn't have done.
In the next few years, Gu Shuo was always ostracized. Every time Dai came to seek advice from him, he would stare at her with this look. Now...
Dai could not let go of this debt. After the Gu family failed to separate, he gradually understood that only those who have the ability can lead a clan to be strong. Without the ability, even if you sit in that position, it will decline sooner or later.
What the old man values is a leader who has the ability to lead the Gu family to better and better places, but neither he nor the brothers of the Gu family are the same. They are not as good as Gu Shuo!
Gradually I understood what I wanted to make up for, but found that it was too late.
Gu Zhifeng glanced at Dai Shi, said nothing, rolled up his sleeves and left the yard.
The mistakes he made back then caused the Gu family to decline to this point. He regretted that incident, the most regretful thing in his life.
If Gu Shuo still wants to return to his clan, he will fully help him. If he doesn't want to, he will not let the third and fourth sons contaminate him.
Gu Zhai is not too big or too small. It takes more than ten minutes to walk from Mr. Gu's yard to the door.
A butterfly fluttered its wings in front to lead the way, and Ye Qianning followed behind.
“Qian Ning.”
Gu Chi chased after him.
Ye Qianning turned around and looked at Gu Shuo running towards him: "Uncle, what's the matter?"
"No, Second Aunt asked me to see you off." Gu Chi came to her side: "Let's go."
Ye Qianning and Gu Chi walked forward side by side.
“Are you going to leave the city later?” Gu Chi tilted his head and asked.
“I won’t leave the city for the time being, I have to go to Zhangjia.”
“Going to kill the family?”
“Well, my father Zhan sent me a message early in the morning.”
Hearing the word "Dad", Gu Chi's eyes became more confused: "Is it Zhan Chi, the young master of the Zhan family?"
"kindness."
"Actually, I'm very curious about your relationship with the Zhan family and the Gu family." The word "uncle" bothered Gu Chi. How could he be called her uncle?
Ye Qianning stopped and seemed to think about it seriously before saying: "Whether it's Daddy Gu Shuo, Daddy Zhan Chi, Daddy Qianfanji or Daddy Xiang Jia, in my heart they are all my relatives, the dearest and dearest family members. "
When Gu Chi heard Qian Fan Ji, his mind drifted away. Ten years ago, Zhan Chi, Gu Shuo, and Qian Fan Ji bravely braved Sifang Mountain. He has always remembered it in his heart over the years.
He seemed to understand somewhat. After living and dying together, the kind of friendship and bond...even if there is no blood relationship, it is better than blood relationship.
Back then, he didn’t know kung fu and couldn’t climb Sifang Mountain…
"How is the business of my uncle's shop?" Ye Qianning interrupted his thoughts.
Gu Chi came back to his senses and stared at her slightly raised head. Her clear and peaceful eyes made people feel inexplicably reassuring. He raised the corners of his mouth and said softly: "It's not bad."
"How about I look for some items someday and sell them in my uncle's shop?"
Hearing this, Gu Chi thought she was going to sell something: "Do you need money?"
When he asked the question, he felt that he had said the wrong thing. There were a lot of things to take care of along the way from the border to the capital, and money was even more important in the capital.
"no…"
“Are you staying at Zhanjia today or going out of the city?” Gu Chi spoke first.
Ye Qianning paused: "If I don't stay at home, I won't leave the city for the next two days."
“Then where do you live?”
“Siyinfang in the city.”
“Siyinfang?”
Gu Chi was puzzled: "Why don't you stay at the inn?"
He knew that Siyinfang was a place where women from famous aristocrats were taught piano skills. It seemed that they never entertained outsiders or men.
“The inn is a bit noisy. I happen to have an acquaintance in Siyinfang, so it’s not difficult to stay there for two days.”
Sixth Yanniang and Qi Yiniang are in Beijing. They can’t live in their own shop, so it’s very frustrating to run to an inn.
“Is it reliable?” Gu Chi was a little worried.
“Reliable.”
"If anything happens, remember to come to Gu's shop to look for me."
"good."
Ye Qianning responded.
Gu Chi sent her to the gate and warned her uneasily: "There is a lot of commotion outside now, so don't walk around in the city." Ye Qianning nodded: "Uncle, there's no need to send her off, the coachman is waiting at the entrance of the alley."
“Go, if you need anything, you must go to Gu’s shop to find me.”
Perhaps it was because the word "cousin" penetrated deeply into Gu Chi's heart, making him feel a little kind to her and want to be nice to her.
So what if they are not related by blood? Zhanjia, Qianjia, Dean Chen, Gu Shuo, what they have done to her, and their concern for her have already gone beyond blood ties.
The same goes for this child. He treats his grandfather with no less care than the children of the Gu family, but more caring than the children of the Gu family.
For this reason alone, he wanted to be nice to Ye Qianning!
If you say "cousin" in reply, then you are worthy of being called uncle!
Outside the alley, the coachman saw Ye Qianning coming out. He quickly put down the cake in his hand and drove over.
“Girl.”
Ye Qianning responded and got into the car: "Go to Xianrenzui."
"Okay, girl, sit down." The coachman pulled the reins to change direction.
The west of the city is a relatively remote part of the capital. It is a long way from Xianrenzui. It will pass through five or six streets on the way, and it will take more than half an hour at the fastest.
Ye Qianning was sitting in the car, taking out a piece of fruit from the space and eating it in small bites.
There are a lot fewer people on the street than when we first arrived. There are almost no people at all. However, the storyteller in the streets and alleys is still going on. However, the people surrounding the storyteller at this time are not ordinary people, but officers and soldiers.
Officers and soldiers surrounded him, but they did not dare to arrest anyone. Although the storyteller was afraid, he still kept reciting the imperial edict intermittently.
“I don’t know who is so bold and publicized like this.”
Half of the road was occupied by officers and soldiers. The carriage slowed down as it passed by. The driver glanced at it and whispered.
Ye Qianning looked out and saw that this street was relatively long. There were five storytellers, and each storyteller was surrounded by more than a dozen officers and soldiers.
The government took action, and it must have been the message from the person above. The government and officials did not dare to offend Sang Zhi. Even the emperor's decree was just to surround him without arresting anyone and silencing him.
This makes Ye Qianning very curious. The change in Emperor Beili's attitude towards Sang Zhi is nothing more than his eyes. It is not surprising that he tolerated Sang Zhi for a year or two, but if he has been doing it for ten years, it may be more than just his eyes.
Let the reality of storytellers run wild and delay arresting people because you are afraid!
“Girl, there are too many officers and soldiers on this street. Let’s go to East Street.” The coachman asked.
"good."
Taking the East Street would be a longer detour. She was not in a hurry, so she agreed.
“Okay, thank you girl.”
The driver turned the carriage around. There were too many officers and soldiers, and he was afraid that the horse would be frightened and collide with the officers and soldiers, which would be bad.
After leaving the west side of the city and taking East Street, you will pass by the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Ye Qianning saw the plaque of the Prime Minister's Mansion from a distance through the car window, and inadvertently saw the threshold of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
“Isn’t the Prime Minister’s Office setting a threshold?”
Hearing this, the coachman turned around and looked at the Prime Minister's Mansion, and said with a smile: "The girl is a foreigner and doesn't know anything. The Prime Minister's Mansion cannot set up a threshold."
“Oh? Why?”
After she passed by, did anyone touch the threshold of the General's Mansion?
"Years ago, there was a general in the capital. His daughter led people to attack the Prime Minister's Mansion and cut down the threshold of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Later, the Prime Minister had someone set up the threshold. The strange thing is that as long as the threshold is raised, it will be cut down again within a few days. , probably seven or eight times in a row, and then the prime minister sent experts to guard him, and they must catch the thief who offended the prime minister's house." The coachman paused, as if he had taken a precaution.
Ye Qianning also knew what was going on: "Did you catch it?"
Hearing this, the coachman’s face instantly lit up with joy, and he said excitedly: “I’ve caught him, and he’s a great person.”
Caught?
"who is it?"
Ye Qianning was indeed curious this time.
At that time, she led people to break into the Prime Minister's Mansion. Later, the threshold of the Prime Minister's Mansion was restored. She did ask Luo Wen to cut it a few times, maybe only five times.
After that, the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion was empty for a while. The Prime Minister's Mansion also suspected that it was Xiang Minghou. They searched for a long time, but there was no evidence and there was no complaint. Prime Minister Gao could only suffer the consequences.
The incident at Sifang Mountain happened later. After she left, could anyone still remember the threshold of the Prime Minister's Mansion?
The coachman tilted his head and said in a mysterious tone: "It's Mr. Gao."
“Which Gao Gongzi?”
“Who else is there, of course it is Gao Qi, the eldest son of Prime Minister Gao.”
Ye Qianning was slightly stunned, Gao Qi?
He cut down the threshold of his house?
"Young Master Prime Minister and the Prime Minister don't get along, and the two of you have somehow got into trouble with the threshold. I didn't catch Mr. Gao before and hacked him secretly, but after I caught him, he started to act openly. As long as the Prime Minister asks someone to raise the threshold, Mr. Gao will be killed that day. He took an ax and tore it apart, over and over again. Prime Minister Gao was an only son. After all, he still couldn't twist him and simply abandoned the threshold." The coachman said happily: "At that time, everyone in the capital saw a lot of excitement. I have to say that Gao The Prime Minister really loves this son."
"indeed."
He is indeed very fond of me. If this matter were placed in the hands of other officials, he would never compromise.
It’s just that Ye Qianning couldn’t figure out how could Gao Qi do such a thing?
The Prime Minister's Mansion did not set up a threshold, and it was a disgrace to the family. This was not something done by a son.
The carriage entered Zhongjie, which turned a corner and there was Xianrenzui. There were many people in Zhongjie, so the carriage slowed down.
The voices of storytellers can still be heard on both sides of the street. With officers and soldiers surrounding them, no one dares to come forward or talk nonsense. The surrounding shops and vendors go about their business in silence.
Although there are many people on the street, they are all very quiet. Everyone talking about buying and selling is in a low voice. The whole street is like a smuggling scene. They are either sneaking or running away as soon as they buy something.
Passing by a pastry shop, the smell came and aroused Ye Qianning's greed.
Ye Qianning went to take out a bag of pastries from the space and ate it again.
She went to Xianrenzui just to find Fu Cheng and ask him to deal with matters at the Gu family's old house. She didn't bother to eat. She just took a few bites of pastries to cushion her meal, and went to Siyinfang to have a good meal in the evening.
The carriage came to the street where Xianrenzui was, and Ye Qianning looked outside through the carriage curtain.
There have been great changes from ten years ago. The capital seems to be more gorgeous. At a glance, silk, cloth, antiques, jewelry, **** shops and banks are almost all on this street.
The emblem of the Royal Merchant is hidden in the lower corner of the plaque on each street. All the way from the border, Ye Qianning pays attention to every city he goes to. They are all shops with the emblem of the Imperial Merchant.
Private traders are so few that they are almost invisible.
The imperial merchants were able to expand their shops to all the cities within ten years. If ordinary people monopolized them, the money consumed would be absolutely sky-high. It was a sky-high price that Emperor Beili could not afford.
If you can do these things without money, you can only rely on power, the power of life and death.
Beili looks rich, but is completely evil inside.
Ye Qianning looked away and took small bites of the cake.
The carriage came to a stop when the immortal was drunk. She opened the curtain in front and took a look.
"Girl, a group of officers and soldiers are passing by." The driver heard the noise and turned around and said.
Ye Qianning looked at a group of officers and soldiers who seemed to be drunk towards the immortal. The leader was an official from the central court, still wearing court uniforms.
“Let’s wait until they pass before leaving.”
"good."
Ye Qianning was sitting at the door of the car, with her head sticking out of the car. She raised her hand to take out the pastry from the oil paper on her left hand and ate it. She handed it to the driver: "Uncle, you haven't had lunch. Here, eat something to cushion your stomach."
“I’ve already eaten the steamed buns and cakes I brought, thank you girl.”
"Uncle, you're welcome. I'll have to trouble you to take me somewhere later." Ye Qianning handed him the oiled paper.
