Chapter 218 The Second Brother Gu’s Secret (4)
Gu Qingtang didn't open his mouth all the time, but when he heard this, he said in a deep voice: "Mother, you didn't agree?"

"Are you confused as a mother?" Gu Liu cast an angry look at her third son, whom she hadn't seen for several months. "For a family like the Tian family, if they are willing to marry their daughter to the fourth child, they have already wronged their girl. If I agree to take a concubine for the fourth child, how can I be worthy of their love? Why don't people poke me in the back? "

Gu Qingtang breathed a sigh of relief, he also knew his own mother's faults, sometimes he understood and sometimes became confused.

Gu Liu said: "Now your daughter-in-law is not at home, and lives with your second sister in the city. She is said to be a supervisor for Meizi, and in charge of the work of a group of needlewomen and embroiderers. If you miss her, you can come in Go to the city to bring her back and stay at home for a few days."

Gu Qingtang couldn't help but blushed slightly, and said, "No rush, but when will the second sister come back?"

"Don't mention it, your second sister has been bullied miserably this time." Gu Liushi began to cry as she spoke, and told what happened to her second daughter.

Hearing that the veins on Gu Qingtang's forehead popped, his face remained ashen.

Gu Qingmei came in and said, "Mother, the second brother has just come back, so don't blame him, let the second brother have a good rest, I will ask Su Xiaoge to help, and go to the city to bring back the sister-in-law, eldest sister and second sister. "

Only then did Gu Liu said embarrassingly: "I am not scolding your second brother, he will know about this sooner or later."

"By the way, Second Brother!" Gu Qingmei said: "You have a brother named Su who came to join you after something happened in his hometown some time ago."

Gu Qingtang was taken aback for a moment, and hurriedly asked: "What about others?"

"Murong Yu sent him to do some work, but his wife and children are at our house, Mrs. Su is helping our house with cooking these days, I was afraid that she would feel uncomfortable, so I didn't pay her the servant's salary, only the family's salary. The monthly routine gives her two taels of silver every month, and her son is five hundred taels a month, and is teaching Shaotong and the girls to read, but her two daughters are taken by me to be bodyguards, and each of them is ten taels a month. "Gu Qingmei told him one by one truthfully.

Gu Qingtang breathed a sigh of relief, "I already knew something happened to Brother Su's house, and I was asking my friends to look for him everywhere. I didn't expect him to be smart enough to come to me. He was kind to me in the past. We must not treat their family badly."

As he said that, he raised his hand and rubbed Gu Qingmei's head lovingly, "You have arranged things well, you really have grown up! It's hard for you to earn this family business, and you worry about everything for your family, but I, an older brother, don't care about it." used."

"How could it be? The second brother married back such a good sister-in-law as the second sister-in-law. The second brother is the most useful!" Gu Qingmei teased him, and then said. "Let me accompany you to see Mrs. Su. If she is not in the big kitchen, she is in the courtyard in the northwest corner."

Ma Yunshang was not at home, and it was inconvenient for the second brother to go to see Qu's alone as a big man, so she made this suggestion.

"Okay!" Gu Qingtang stood up, agreed to go out with her, came to the kitchen, but did not see Qu Shi, it was not time to make lunch, so the two came to Qu Shi's yard again, Qu Shi was sitting on a small tree, guarding a big wooden tub, washing clothes.

Seeing that Gu Qingmei brought a strange man, she hurriedly stood up and wiped her hands with a scarf.

Gu Qingmei introduced her second brother to her, the two greeted each other, and said a few words of politeness, Gu Qingmei asked Su Xiaofeng to help her go to the city to bring back her eldest sister, second sister and second sister-in-law, and Qu readily agreed.

Gu Qingmei gave him a few more taels of silver and asked him to fetch some good wine from the restaurants in the city and buy some stewed vegetables. The grocery stores in the village had nothing to buy except knives and sauced beef.

Su Xiaofeng is just a 15-year-old boy, and it is rare for him to have the opportunity to go shopping in the city. After hearing her request, he readily agreed.

Taking advantage of Su Xiaofeng's pick-up, Gu Qingmei called the second brother to her room, and told the second brother what happened at home during these days, including the matter that the eldest brother was broken by the fourth brother.

Gu Qingtang kept silent with a sullen face.

It wasn't until he heard that she showed her face in front of the emperor, and the emperor rewarded her with something, that her expression became a little bit surprised.

Seeing his expression, Gu Qingmei was a little surprised, she winked at Yunshen, and after sending Yunshen away, she asked, "Second brother, just tell me if you have anything to say, I'm not what I used to be now Little girl who doesn't even understand."

Gu Qingtang raised his eyes and glanced at her lightly. She was surprised to find that the deep look in the eyes of this elder brother who seldom saw each other was extremely frightening.

Slowly, Gu Qingtang said: "Meizi, I have to tell you now, so that one day you don't know if you do something that is not good for you."

Gu Qingmei nodded lightly, "Second brother, if there is something important, don't hide it from me, otherwise, I won't be able to assess the situation and make sure I don't do anything wrong in the future."

"Our family..." After Gu Qingtang said these three words, he lowered his voice to an extremely low level. "Our family has a grudge against the Marquis of Xileng, who is in power!"

"Marquis of Xileng?" Hearing this name, Gu Qingmei couldn't help flashing Fang Zheng's frail youth and Fang Yu's perverted appearance.

"40 years ago, the Nanman tribe in the south invaded our Suye Dynasty, and millions of troops overwhelmed the country. The commander-in-chief of the three armies at that time was the father of the current Marquis of Xileng. His grandfather made countless military achievements, but the commander put all his achievements in On their own son. They even wanted to kill people and kill all the insiders. Later, King Jiajun stopped them and reached an agreement with the old Marquis of Xileng. The two sides would never mention this matter. Go back to Gujiazhuang alive."

When Gu Qingmei heard the story that her second brother told her, she couldn't help being shocked. She never thought that her family had such a background.

Gu Qingtang said softly: "Grandfather never told me about this matter, it was King Jiajun who told me, because grandfather had saved King Jiajun's life, so King Jiajun has been taking care of our family in secret. If you go to the capital one day, you must remember to stay away from the Marquis of Xileng's family, and never have any relationship with the Marquis of Xileng's family. We must get back the revenge of grandfather!"

Gu Qingmei hesitated for a moment, and asked in a low voice: "Second brother, you...have you been helping the fourth prince all this time?"

Gu Qingtang's gloomy eyes flashed, but he nodded slightly, and said softly: "It started six years ago. Murong's family has 30 mu of fertile land in the south. I go there every year to help him transfer the money and Bring back the food."

"30 mu?" Gu Qingmei couldn't help but lose her voice. How much does 30 mu of fertile land make a year?The guy even cried poor to himself, saying he had no money.
