Under the Empress Dowager, all members will be King

Chapter 5 Digging out a Huge IOU
A blood-red rune appeared, and Gu Yinwei pasted the rune on the statue. The severed head of the statue is very suitable for the temporary storage of ghosts.

"Someone is looking for you on Yinsi Road, Gu Jiayin calls out to his relatives, and the Gu family's ancestors will show up quickly."

After chanting the spell three times, the statue didn't grow a head, so Gu Yinwei took off the spirit-calling talisman and prepared to leave.

"Which bastard is called Laoshen, Laoshen wins money and wins Zhenghuan by playing horse hanging."

The first time Gu Yinwei shook people, she revealed her most beloved grandmother, Lu Shi.

It's not in vain that she put so much effort into drawing Yin-calling Talismans. Gu Yinwei can draw one every half a month for ordinary runes, but Yin-calling Talismans are extremely difficult to draw. In addition, she talks to ghosts, and she will definitely get seriously ill after that. One game, no more talismans for the next six months.

She immediately put on a playful upper body, put eye drops on the old lady, and told the recent events without embellishment. I'm sorry for this evil charm.

"Grandmother, I'm Yinwei. My father married a stepmother and didn't want me. Grandma Zhong poisoned me. The Gu family has no place for my granddaughter. My granddaughter is alone in the ancestral house without food or clothing."

"Granddaughter might as well come down to accompany grandma."

"My dear granddaughter, don't talk stupid things. Go to the southwest of your ancestral house and find a jujube tree. My body is buried under the tree. I will give it to Gu Shenzhi in a dream tomorrow. I will scold him to death for being an unfilial son and tell him to pick it up quickly." You go back."

"Miss, where are you?"

"Miss, are you in there? Why did I hear the old lady's voice?"

Gu Yin slightly crushed the soul-calling talisman, and the ghost of Old Madam Gu dissipated.

"You heard wrong."

"But, I seem to have seen a human face on the mountain god just now, and that human face is exactly the same as when the old lady was alive."

"Yin and yang are in order, you are a living person, how could you see the dead old lady, don't talk nonsense, go home quickly."

"Miss, why did you come to Chenghuang Temple?"

"I was tired from walking just now, so I came in to rest for a while, and accidentally fell asleep."

"Miss, did you dream, did you dream of the old lady?"

"That's it."

Gu Yinwei found a shovel, carefully squatted in front of the jujube tree, and shoveled the soil with great effort, Chu Chu wanted to help.

Gu Yinwei persuaded her.

The abandoned shovel was covered with rust, and Gu Yinwei worked hard to dig. At first, the soil was dry, with some weeds and gravel on it, and then the soil became soft, and then she pried hard, but nothing came out.

For an illusory dream, the young lady spent three consecutive days fiddling under the tree, but Chu Chu couldn't persuade her, and the young lady even said that she would take her back home.

In fact, she thinks that her current life is very good. Although she is a bit sleepy, she can survive. What Ting Tao said is right. The Gu family is no longer the previous Gu family. The current Gu family is a dragon pond and a tiger's den.

Xiao Fengyu and Gu Qingrong have taken over the Gu family, so if the young lady goes back this time, she is throwing herself into a trap.

Sorrow is like a dark cloud, shrouding Chu Chu's head.

Chu Chu was worried and had no appetite to eat.

Gu Yinwei enlightened her, "People are iron and rice is steel. If you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry, and you will have the strength to fight when you are full."

Chu Chu feels that the current lady is very different from the previous one. The current lady is like an orchid growing in an empty valley, making people unable to see her true heart, and she still has a faint fairy air, and she speaks in the same way. sets.

Chu Chu held the pancake and smiled at Gu Yin, "Miss, you are so pretty, just like the fairy in the painting."

"I'm not some kind of god, I'm just a common man. Everyone in the world knows that gods are good, but I can't forget my fame. Where are the generals and princes now? The loess is gone."

Yugu Village, the village is lonely, with ten miles of lotus flowers, a hundred acres of fertile land, and thousands of layers of clouds.

It has just rained, and the wind in the mountains is very humid.

Although the ancestral house is broken, it can be regarded as a good life, but Gu Yinwei is unwilling to stay in the ancestral house forever.

Once she came here, she just wanted to show her prestige.

After two or three days, the soil layer of the jujube tree was dug up, and a cloth bag was exposed inside. When the bag was opened, it was a small exquisite box with four characters written on the box, whoever opened the box would die.

Chu Chu was so frightened that Huarong turned pale, "Miss, why don't we bury the box back, this box looks very unlucky."

Gu Yin waved his hand slightly, "It's okay, the big deal is that after opening the box, write Gu Qingrong's birthday and throw it inside."

Gu Qingrong, who was hundreds of miles away, sneezed uncontrollably. Fearing that she would be cold, Ting Tao brought a long-sleeved shirt for her to put on.

Gu Yinwei opened the box, there was a small box inside the box, inside the small box was wrapped a layer of kerchief, inside the kerchief was wrapped a layer of oiled paper bag, and the oiled paper bag was opened to reveal a letter.

The envelope had turned yellow, and there were two lines of writing on the letter. The specific date on that line of small print was already blurred, and some information could be vaguely read.

"At a certain time on a certain day of a certain month in a certain year, at a winter banquet, I played a horse hanging with Mrs. Qiu in Xichai Alley. I won two taels of money and two cents of daily interest. The descendants of the Gu family can use this IOU to receive a million dollars from the Qiu family. in arrears."

"Miss, why don't we bury it back, the servant always feels that this IOU is unreliable."

"It's okay, I'll take it first."

"Miss, this servant suddenly remembered that when the ancestral house was being repaired, the master also dug up this IOU. After reading it, the master was furious and said... said..."

"say what?"

"My master said, you can't believe the words of a gambler."

"The old lady was a gambler before her life?"

"No, the old lady only loves playing horse-slings."

"Walk."

"Miss, where are we going?"

"Go to Xichai Hutong to exchange for millions of property."

The two masters and servants went with the peasants entering the city and came to the city by ox cart.

Then I searched along the streets and alleys, but couldn't find Xichai Hutong. Chu Chu felt a little discouraged, "Xichai Hutong doesn't exist at all, so I'd better not look for it."

"Chuchu, have you ever thought that Xichai Hutong is not in Yizhou?"

"If it's not in Yizhou, where is it? Where can we go to get millions of dollars?"

"It's difficult to deal with. The empty banknotes are not cashed, and they are worthless."

"Why don't the servants go door to door and ask if they can find it?"

Chu Chu knocked on the door along the street, "Ma'am, do you know Xichai Hutong?"

"Wash the vegetables, wash the vegetables and go to the river, and turn around."

"Grandma, do you know about Xichai Hutong?"

"Sell firewood? My family doesn't burn firewood or charcoal."

After asking around, chickens and ducks talked, but found nothing.

Mrs. Gu's laughter rose louder than ever.

"They actually asked from door to door, hahaha, tell me more."

Madam Gu's laughter could be heard far away from the flower hall, and Mrs. Chen who reported the letter was full of flattery, deliberately picking out what Madam Gu liked to hear, and she was waiting to ask for rewards.

"Ma'am, I went shopping today and saw the second girl and Chu Chu asking around with a letter. Seeing their behavior, I guess they have been hungry for half a month."

"Since she is so pitiful, Mrs. Ben will be merciful and bring the two of them back. She will run for election soon. She can't be allowed to ruin the family style of the Gu family. She is a descendant, so she won't be allowed to go out to beg .”

Madam Gu pointed to the pastries and sweet tea on the table and said, "These are rewards for you, take them and eat them."

The mother-in-law who reported the letter was surnamed Chen. She and Grandma Zhong were distant relatives. Grandma Zhong was struck to death by lightning.

Before Mrs. Zhong was still around, Mrs. Zhong was in charge of the kitchen, and she was in charge of the shopping. The two of them filled their pockets and made a lot of money. Now that Mrs. Chen is gone, her money is also cut off.

Cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents, how can Mrs. Chen not hate it.

Gu Qingrong also heard the news and came to see Mrs. Gu.

"It was so hard to send away the God of Plague. Why did Madam invite the God again? As everyone knows, it is easier to invite the God than to send it away."

"You think I want to bring her back. This is all your father's idea. Your father has nightmares all day long in the capital. The old man in the dream always says that he misses his granddaughter. A few days ago, I lied that I had brought back the God of Plague. , your father is still haunted by nightmares, and it was the first time he scolded me in his heart."

Mrs. Gu said quietly: "The Gu family has so many vacant rooms, it's okay to just find one for her to live in. What our mother and daughter want is always prosperity and wealth, not the life of a plague god."

"Those rotten fish and rotten shrimps are not worth my distraction at all. As long as she doesn't dislike me, I can keep her alive. In the future, when I enter the palace, I will have to ask these two younger sisters in my family to help, and the mother can take care of the housework. Tomorrow I'm going to the flower viewing banquet, and my mother sent her to the east courtyard, so don't let her get in the way of my eyes."

"Mother knows that you can take care of your important affairs at ease, and mother will take care of the Gu family."

"You're right, it's better to use her as a stepping stone than to kill her."

Mrs. Chen came to pick up Gu Yinwei according to the order of taking care of his wife. Gu Yinwei and Chu Chu were arranged in the west courtyard wing room. The terrain here is low and humid and rainy in summer.

Gu Yinwei consumed a lot of blood and blood to draw the soul-calling talisman. At this time, she was dying of depletion of energy and blood, and Chu Chuyi took care of her in a puzzled way.

Third Miss Gu Yingxia visited Gu Yinwei once and brought some clean bedding and a change of clothes.

Gu Yingxia is a concubine's daughter, while Gu Yinwei is a concubine's daughter.

The two of them never got along with each other since they were young. When they met, they either fought or quarreled.

Later, Mrs. Gu brought Gu Qingrong into the mansion, and Gu Yingxia's attitude towards Gu Yinwei changed.

Gu Yingxia and Gu Qingrong are enemies, and Gu Yinwei is Gu Qingrong's enemy, and the enemy of an enemy is a friend.

She only does things that harm others and benefits herself, and does not do stupid things that hurt enemies and make relatives happy.

Although Gu Yinwei is not considered her relative, the more Mrs. Gu and Gu Qingrong hate Gu Yinwei, the more she wants to show affection to Gu Yinwei.

The maid Ah Qing asked: "The master didn't like the second lady before, why is it so uncharacteristic now?"

"The Gu family is already under the control of Mrs. Gu. I don't want to fight her. It's okay to be an arm with Gu Yinwei. Gu Qingrong dominates the Gu family because of Mrs. Gu's backing, but when she comes to the harem, she has no backing." Now, then, it will be the time for the three of us to really compete."

Ah Qing said: "Miss is unparalleled in resourcefulness, it is no problem to deal with Mrs. Gu."

"I do have a way to deal with her, but I can't deal with her now."

"If the Gu family collapses at this time, it won't do me any good. How much prosperity and wealth can there be in Yizhou, a small place, and how many young talents can there be."

"I'm a small fudao, and I'm not afraid of her when I forbear and plan, but to go to the capital."

"The water in Yizhou is too shallow, and the water in Kyoto is deep enough. I want to fight for the position of the first concubine of the first palace, the position of the first daughter of the Gu family. Gu Qingrong likes it, so let her be."

"My uncle has already opened many shops in Kyoto. My grandfather and uncle have devoted all their family property to paving the way. I can't live up to their expectations."

"Miss is wise."

"Father will be here tomorrow, go to bed early."

The maid blew out the lamp, but Gu Yingxia's eyes were surprisingly bright. In her eyes, there was a desire for power and a yearning for the future.

Gu Shenzhi came back before the sun set, his eyelids were black and blue, and his face was full of blackness.

Mrs. Gu asked him to talk, but he didn't want to say anything, he just wanted to sleep.

Gu Shenzhi slept for three days, Gu Yin woke up slightly, but Gu Shenzhi was still awake.

Mrs. Gu murmured: "I'm afraid the ancestral graves of your Gu family are not buried on the mountain of sleepy graves, everyone can sleep like this."

As soon as Mrs. Gu finished speaking, Gu Shenzhi sat up from the bed.

"Ma'am, are you secretly scolding me?"

"How dare the concubine, the master is a unparalleled hero, and the concubine's admiration for the master is as continuous as the river."

Based on the realization that he is not deaf, dumb, and unworthy of being in charge, Gu Shenzhi automatically ignores Mrs. Gu's trivial thoughts, and then accepts all her flattery.

"I have to go out recently. Take care of the Gu family. The three daughters in the family will participate in the draft in half a month. Don't neglect."

"Master, don't worry."

"Don't worry, as long as a daughter of the Gu family loses the election, I promise to give your brother the position of commander and envoy."

"Seven daughters from the Minister of Rites' family ran for the election, and nine daughters from the Minister of the Ministry of War ran for the election. Although I am in charge of the Ministry of Officials, I am always hindered by others. I have no official career. Our three daughters, if They both lost the election, and neither the Gu family nor the Xiao family had a good life."

"I know it myself."

"You know best."

He came home quickly, and left home quickly.

Gu Shenzhi spent half his life running around, either when he took office or on the way to take office.

At the beginning, Gu Yinwei's biological mother stayed alone in the empty boudoir, became ill from depression, and died of hatred.

Now the new wife, Xiao Fengyu, has not been able to escape this curse.

Xiao Fengyu was ill, she didn't have the strength to take care of herself, let alone take care of others.

Gu Qingrong participated in the flower viewing feast today, the monthly gathering tomorrow, offering incense the day after, and worshiping the Buddha the day after.

The three daughters are about to marry into Tian's family, Madam Gu didn't call the three of them to attend the sickness, lest they get sick.

Before Gu Shenzhi left home, she was ordered to die. These days, she was sick and did not forget to ask her three daughters for advice.

She thought that she could be proud of having robbed someone else's husband and son-in-law, but in reality she was just repeating the same mistakes.

Gu Shenzhi is obsessed with official duties, he has never painted her eyebrows once, he doesn't remember her birthday, and he doesn't understand her loneliness.

In the past, she was Gu Shenzhi's concubine, and she always felt that the Gu family was very good. Later, when the wife of her original wife died, she felt that she finally had a bright future. There were no elders in the Gu family. Daughter, but only 12 years old is easy to handle.

But when she actually entered the Gu mansion, she realized that the Gu family was far less glamorous than it looked from the outside. Not at home at night.

"My husband wants an official career and doesn't want me. My daughter loves the future far more than me. I have been in business for so many years. Why?"
