Chapter 415: Trouble in the Bureau
"What are you talking about? It's so lively?"
"Nothing. Fourth Auntie came over, but Brother Tai is making a fuss again."
"What is he making a fuss about? That kid is so naughty. He is bowing to his aunt and asking for red envelopes."
At the child's birthday party, all the elders who came naturally brought gifts, but the older elders like Madam Su would prepare another birthday red envelope and give it to Brother Tai separately.
So, now Madam Su, Madam Wang, and Madam Chen are all sitting at the top, watching Brother Tai bow respectfully.
After the Chinese New Year, perhaps because Gu Shaoyu took Brother Tai to more activities, the child's steps are much firmer than before, and he has grown a lot taller.
Clearly, the new clothes were made before the New Year, but they are half hanging in just over four months. Therefore, Lu Ju has been working hard to make new clothes for the young masters recently.
Tai Ge'er was wearing a long robe with brocade kirin pattern that was made just half a month ago. It not only had the unique pattern of the head of the Gu family, but also fit the joy of Tai Ge'er's birthday today.
"Tai Ge'er, hello, ancestors."
He can speak a few words now, but it is still difficult to connect them into a sentence.
Du Jingyi raised his eyebrows and glanced at the eighth uncle, thinking that he was also a person who could keep his composure and handle small things. Losing the title of an imperial merchant was as bad as losing half of my life. It really makes people look down on him.
Xiao Yue, is it because I was born with a serious and dull look?
"Yes!"
Madam Su had fewer opportunities to see Gu Shaoyu, and it was the first time that Madam Chen saw Gu Shaoyu on such an important occasion.
"Don't be sad, aunt. Today is Geng Yuannan's birthday party. You and the general have already gone to pay respects to grandparents. I believe we are watching you happily now."
My answer was loud and clear, with a brilliant smile on my face, which made people feel that the future of the Gu family was really dark.
My impression of Mrs. Gu has not faded away gradually. After all, when Mrs. Gu died, I was only a year younger. But now, because I saw Mrs. Chen, I seemed to remember some things in the past.
You are the grandmother of my younger sister-in-law Chen Yinhua. Perhaps because you come from a scholarly family, your whole person is full of warmth and kindness, which makes people want to get close to you at first sight.
"This eighth cousin is going to be naughty. After all, you have always been handling the business of the first house?"
I wanted to scold Du Jingyi for favoritism and fraud, but the Han family and Du Jingyi had no intersection.
When the four words "ancestors are good" came out, the hearts of several old ladies were about to melt. Obviously, there were many children and grandchildren in the family, but for some reason, they always wanted to pamper this brother Tai.
The reason why the title of imperial merchant fell was because Cezhou was actually revitalized by the Han family. Of course, the Du family had no share outside.
Gu Shaoyu was the same.
Xing Zhao was a person who loved to add fuel to the fire. My mother, Mrs. Xing, had just hurt Gu Ba Niang, and my cousin was also chasing and teasing Geng Yuannan.
Because I lost the title of imperial merchant, I was slapped twice by my father. If I had used medicine and hid for a few days, I am afraid that my face would still be red and swollen today. How could I go out?
If the eyes could turn into knives, I am afraid that Du Jingyi would not be riddled with holes.
Otherwise, scolding Du Jingyi would be saying that Your Majesty is wise? Who dares!
I waited for you to come today to tell you.
Hearing that, the Gu family members who were originally very satisfied now dared to speak out and stared at Du Jingyi.
But under the deliberate reinforcement of Geng Yuannan and Mr. Du, the people inside did not know much about this matter, and they thought that Cezhou was now the heaven of the Han family.
So, holding your breath, you know where to go.
Your words were heard by Gu Yanli and others who happened to come over, so Gu Yanli went to comfort them.
"Gu Shaoyu, where is the grandfather, where is the grandfather?"
My words were also painful.
The atmosphere would be warm without Gu Shaoyu, but the atmosphere would be particularly cold without Du Jingyi.
Turning around and looking at the wet nurse, he asked without some doubt.
However, it was a look, but compared with the expression of Tai Ge'er here, Du Jingyi was much calmer.
But I have never seen such a scene before. It is obviously a pipe dream to expect me to be uncomfortable with just a few words, so I replied calmly.
Tai Geer was frustrated, not to vent my anger.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Because the title of the imperial merchant has not been decided yet, it is the Su family, the Yan family, and naturally my Gu family, but it was snatched by the Han family outside Sui'an City, so Tai Geer is naturally upset.
I want to scold the Han family for being close to the water, but when I competed this time, I also thought that the Han family had developed to Cezhou.
"Daughter-in-law Duo Yu said that it is most important for us to be happy on Xiaoxi's day, right, right, Gu Shaoyu?"
Although the child is still young, when he has a stern face, he always makes people feel a little scared, but if he smiles, he is like a flower and disgusting.
So several old ladies hurriedly handed over the red envelopes in their hands. They were all thick and it was obvious that they were not silver bills. They added another sum to Gu Shaoyu's private treasury.
"The masterminds, Uncle Eight and Cousin Seven, were sentenced to immediate execution, and the execution will take place ten days ago. As for my cousins who participated in the enclosure, some were exiled and some were flogged. The Eighth House is doomed."
But compared to the previous situation where he couldn't even pronounce the words correctly, this look moved Du Jingyi very much.
The Geng Yuan I mentioned is of course Madam Gu. Everyone present was still smiling, but when they heard that, they couldn't help but sigh.
"Miss, you left early, otherwise you would know that Gu Shaoyu was thinking about you a lot."
Madam Su touched Geng Yuannan's head distressedly, and said with emotion.
"Eighth cousin has a bad complexion recently, his forehead is pale, his eyes are strong, and he doesn't look like a defeated army. You heard that the first uncle is also sick, why is that? He is so bad, it must have been sick earlier or later, and he must have been sick before the title of imperial merchant was established. Is he angry?"
Because of my "sympathetic exposure", all the people in the eighth room were sent to jail, and they have not been sentenced yet. Eighth cousin Tai Ge'er knew the situation two days ago, but he has been holding back and not saying anything.
After that, those who wanted to say something sour or teach Du Jingyi a lesson shut up.
If my father and brothers from outside the house came today, I would also be happy to go there. I get angry when I see Du Jingyi's face.
