Chapter 5 The family letter is worth ten thousand gold

Seeing that Gu Yuzhi also agreed, Shu Xiaohan glanced at Wen Xiuzhu proudly: "Shopkeeper Wen, although I don't know how to do business, you are far inferior to me when it comes to raising children."

As soon as Wen Xiuzhu finished speaking, Shu Xiaohan's expression turned pale before Wen Xiuzhu could even mock him.

In modern times, she is a successful working woman, but not a successful mother.

She prides herself on being open-minded, but she doesn't want to subconsciously favor the second child when they encounter difficulties together.

To this day, she still remembers her eldest son crying and shouting to her: "Are only the children who can cry eating sweets?"

She didn't answer at that time, and there will never be a future...

Regarding Shu Xiaohan's words, Wen Xiuzhu could not refute: "If Teacher Shu's method helps His Highness get money, I will admit that I am not as good as Teacher Shu in this aspect."

Gu Yuzhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't know why, but he felt that this method was feasible.

Besides, regardless of whether we can get the money or not, there is at least a solution to this matter.

Maybe it was because of the medicine he took, but he couldn't suppress his sleepiness. He yawned and retreated, then fell into a deep sleep. When he woke up again, it was already noon.

Aunt Xu still failed to get up and come to serve her, so Xie Changshi had to bring in lunch again.

Gu Yuzhi's appetite was not very good as his body was recovering and he was hiding some little things. After eating a little, he washed his hands and said with a raised face: "Xie Changshi, why don't we write a letter to the emperor now?" ?”

He thought smartly, if the emperor gave him money this time, would it mean that the emperor didn't hate him that much?

Gu Yuzhi thought for a while and nodded firmly. It must be like this: "Xie Changshi, please go to the warehouse to get pens, ink, paper and inkstones."

What could Xie Changshi say? He could only go to the warehouse to find pen, ink, paper and inkstone, spread it out on the table: "Has your Highness ever thought about how to write?"

Gu Yuzhi shook his little head: "Let me think about it first."

Although a child who can cry is given candy, he and the royal brother don't have much affection, so how can he cry?

Gu Yuzhi thought about it and thought about how he and his mother and concubine acted coquettishly, and blushed slightly: "Xie Changshi, you said that when I wrote the letter, I told the emperor that I was sick, and that I had no money to build a mansion, so I just If you can ask the prefect to help rent a house, do you think Brother Huang will..."

He scratched his little head for a while and was too embarrassed to say the word "pay money".

Xie Changshi chuckled lightly, but did not point out the truth after all: "Your Highness is young, and the Emperor is very concerned about you. If you are willing to talk to the Emperor about your daily life, the Emperor will definitely be happy."

Gu Yuzhi puffed up his face. Didn't Xie Changshi understand what he meant?

Should not be ah.

"Then let's get started." Gu Yuzhi straightened his sitting posture and said in a serious voice, "Brother Emperor, how are you? I arrived in Mobei yesterday..."

Xie Changshi wrote in the letter: "Brother Huang is well. My younger brother arrived in Mobei yesterday afternoon. Because he misses Brother Huang more and more, he is not in good health and cannot report to the Emperor immediately. Brother, please report that you are safe, please forgive me..."

Gu Yuzhi couldn't understand what Xie Changshi wrote, but he felt that he didn't say such a long thing.This is all the result of not having enlightenment!
Gu Yuzhi secretly made up his mind not to wait until next year and start enlightenment when the house is rented.

After Xie Changshi finished writing, Gu Yuzhi continued: "Xie Changshi told me that the prefect came to see me when I was in a coma and reminded me of the establishment of the government, but now I..."

He thought about several words but felt they were not very good. He lowered his head and saw that Xie Changshi had finished writing. He pointed to the last four words and asked: "Xie Changshi, what are these four words?"

"Strapped." Xie Changshi put the pen on the inkstone, "It means living in embarrassment."

Gu Yuzhi's eyes lit up immediately, and he looked at Xie Changshi with admiration in his eyes.

His eyes rolled rapidly. When Xie Changshi mentioned that he was struggling, did he understand what he meant?
He immediately smiled so hard that he couldn't help but feel much more relaxed: "Xie Changshi said that the weather in Mobei is cold and the frozen soil in winter makes it impossible to start construction. The construction of the mansion will have to wait until next year. During this period, I can only temporarily find a house in Changzhou Mansion. live……"

Xie Changshi did not write so straightforwardly. He filled in a lot of information about King Wen's longing for the emperor. Then he talked about the establishment of the government and stated that he had planned to ask the prefect of Changzhou to find a suitable one in all aspects. I lived in his house temporarily and asked the emperor whether it was appropriate to do so.

It took almost half an hour for the two of them, one to speak and the other to write, to finish the long "letter home".

After Xie Changshi put it away, Gu Yuzhi breathed a sigh of relief. He puffed up his face and blew on the still wet ink: "Xie Changshi, if the letter is sent through the inn, how long will it take for it to reach the emperor's hand?"

"Our court stipulates that, except for special military situations that can be expedited at [-] miles, other urgent letters can go up to [-] miles per day. It will take about eight days for your highness's letter to reach the emperor."

Gu Yuzhi breathed a sigh of relief. Eight days was not a long time. "If the emperor replies quickly, wouldn't it take about half a month to receive it?"

"A letter is fine." Xie Changshi saw that the letter had dried, folded it and put it into an envelope, "But if the Emperor wants to give His Highness some reward, it will take longer."

Gu Yuzhi's eyes lit up, reward?

He glanced at Xie Changshi without any trace, and said deliberately: "It just so happens that the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. Is there an emperor's wife besides the emperor's brother?"

As he spoke, Gu Yuzhi uttered an ouch and patted his forehead lightly with his little hand: "Xie Changshi, please revise this family letter again. I haven't greeted the emperor's wife yet!"

The emperor's sister-in-law is the mother of a country. If I continue to cry like the emperor's sister-in-law, will the emperor's sister-in-law also give me money?
The more Gu Yuzhi thought about it, the more flattered he felt, and he immediately said: "Xie Changshi, hurry up, hurry up, come and polish the ink again, and let's write a separate letter to the emperor's sister-in-law."

Xie Changshi was helpless by Gu Yuzhi's urging. He just smiled and shook his head: "I have already sent my greetings to the Queen in my letter."

"Is this like this?" Gu Yuzhi pouted, "Xie Changshi, I think the emperor's sister-in-law will definitely not be able to feel how much I miss her if I just send my greetings like this. I'd better write a separate letter."

He tilted his head and thought, if that was the case, in addition to the emperor's wife, he could also greet the emperor's other concubines. Even if these concubines didn't give much, if each of them gave a little, he could gain a lot.

Gu Yuzhi turned to look at Xie Changshi. Before he could speak, Xie Changshi noticed his intention and immediately said: "Your Highness, your blessings for the other imperial concubines will be mentioned in the letter to the queen."

The implication is that you don’t need to write separate letters to each concubine!
Gu Yuzhi said in disappointment, resting his chin on his elbow, always feeling that it would be disingenuous not to write.

But after Xie Changshi said this, he naturally would not object anymore. He spread his hands like a young adult and said, "Okay, I hope other sisters-in-law can appreciate this letter from me that is worth ten thousand yuan."
