Blissful Days After Widowhood

    Gu Yin took his apprentices and grandchildren to the side of the carriage. Chef Xu and the two young apprentices saw everything fresh, and kept praising the capital city as a good place, even the bluestone road under their feet. After all, in Hanshan Town, this kind of flat road is only available in the main urban area, and the corners and corners are still soil.

    The capital is different, and this is outside the city, the road has been built so well.

    While walking and chatting, Gu Yin by the way asked him why he brought so many things.

    When Chef Xu went from Wen's house to Shiweitian, the salute he brought didn't even reach half of his eyes.

    He doesn't seem to be someone who can save money.

      It’s not worth it to ask the **** to check in. At that time, I helped them with their affairs, and said that we would go to Beijing anyway, and it would be the same for them to bring it here.”

    The second elder of the Ge family went to Beijing to reunite with Ge Zhuer more than a month earlier than them, and settled in the capital.

    Gu Yin also arranged for them to work in food for the sky, which not only facilitated them and Ge Zhuer to take care of each other, but also met with his grandson Feng Yu who accompanied Gu Ye from time to time.

    However, the second old man was getting older and had some minor illnesses and pains, so Gu Yin only arranged day shifts for them.

    As the shopkeeper of Yashe, Ge Zhuer entertains a group of female guests, and often can't get off work until the curfew.

    There are still some vacancies in the backyard, Gu Yin originally arranged the staff dormitory for Ge Zhuer.

      son home.

    The family of three went back while talking about the day's affairs. Every time they met, Gu Yin felt extremely warm.

    The yard where the Ge family lived was not far from Taibai Street, so Gu Yin thought about taking Chef Xu and the others to put things away, and then taking them to eat for heaven.

    Gu Yin invited them to the carriage.

    Because nowadays mentors and apprentices are like fathers and sons, Gu Yin and Chef Xu are a mother-son relationship, so don’t mind men and women.

     After sitting down, Chef Xu continued, "I heard people say that everything in the capital is expensive, and a carriage like this costs a lot of money to rent it?"

    He looked at Gu Yin while talking, and he almost said that she wasted money.

    Gu Yin just remembered, she hasn't told her apprentice yet!

    When I was in Hanshan Town before, the family kept silent about the Wu family, and no one told them.

    Even the second elder of the Ge family and the mother and son of the Xu family learned about the British government only after they went to the capital.

    Although the second elders of the Ge family went back to Hanshan Town to sell their properties, but they are honest and naturally they will not be publicized everywhere.

    "The carriage doesn't belong to others, it's ours." Gu Yin thought about whether to talk to them on the carriage. After all, Chef Xu looked young, but his temperament was different. Not very composure, don't turn around and throw a bombshell and scare him silly.

    Before Gu Yin could figure out how to speak, Chef Xu waved to Gu Yin furtively and asked her to sit closer. After another wink at the two young apprentices, the kitchen knife and chopping board turned around consciously, facing the wall of the car, and covered their ears.

    Gu Yin looked at him as if she wanted to say something to herself, so she sat closer.

     Chef Xu pressed his throat and said, "Master, I think my master is really good."

    Suddenly such a sentence came out of nowhere, and Gu Yin was a little stunned when she heard it.

     Chef Xu continued: "Master Gang is still helping us with things, so some salutes, this is a hot day, help us to let go of the salute is not impatient. You look very rich now... "

     Chef Xu's eyes fell on Gu Yin's wrist, and she was naturally wearing the red gold double-button bracelet that Wang had put on her when she first entered the British government. Later, when she went to the palace for a banquet or entertained female guests, Gu Yin had to decorate it, and this bracelet became one of the jewelry she often wore.

    "But you can't abandon the scumbag just because of your wealth." Chef Xu said earnestly and earnestly, "My teacher worked for the new dynasty, although now I only watch it in the capital. The door, you can't treat him with contempt. As the old saying goes, the wife of a scumbag... the husband of a scumbag won't go to court!"

    Gu Yinqiang said with a smile: "I'm like this kind of person?"

    "That's not Master of course." Chef Xu laughed twice, and then whispered again: "Then it's such a hot day, why did Master let Master take the carriage?"

    Gu Yin couldn't hold back her laughter, she made a big circle around his fat face, and said, "You're too embarrassed to say it!"

    The carriage from the British public mansion is naturally spacious, but I didn't expect Chef Xu to be fatter than before.

    Wu Qingyi, who is also taller than ordinary people, comes in again. There is no place to stretch his legs. It must be like a kitchen knife and cutting board. What about the sun!

     Chef Xu knew that he was going wrong, and his face flushed as if he was making bread.

    Then entered the city and arrived at the yard of the Ge family.

    The second elder of the Ge family and Ge Zhuer both took a rest that day. Because the three members of the family usually have to go to work and have little time at home, it is rare for the family to rest together. They are sweeping the house and drying the bedding together. .

    Gu Yin led a group of people to knock on the door of Ge's house, and Ge Zhuer smiled when she saw her, "Why did the owner come here in person? If there is something, just ask someone to come and let me know. ."

    While speaking, Ge Zhuer opened both wooden doors to the maximum and invited Gu Yin to come in and sit.

    Gu Yin went in and explained that it was her apprentice and apprentice Sun Shangjing who helped the two elders to bring the rest of their belongings, so she brought them here first.

    As soon as the explanation was finished, Wu Qingyi and Chef Xu came over with their burdens.

    The second elder of the Ge family listened in the room and quickly put down the rag and broom in his hand to greet them.

    Wu Qingyi and Chef Xu naturally didn't need to do anything with the second old man, they directly mentioned the salute to the main room and put it down.

    Aunt Ge suddenly broke down and said: "Xiao Xu is so sincere, he is a worthless guy, even if my old man said a few words and said that he was very distressed, he said he could Bring it here for us. I didn't think about it at the time, but now I think about it, it's really embarrassing, how hard it must be to carry such a thing on a boat in this hot day!"

    As he spoke, he hurriedly poured water for them, and asked Uncle Ge to fish out the watermelon in the well and cut it for everyone to eat.

      General fish out.

    He was not polite to the second elder of the Ge family, he sat down and drank water, gasped for a while, and finally calmed down, saying: "It's not hard, what's the hard work? It's worthless, but it's all the family belongings you have worked hard to save over the years. Although things are old, but they are easy to use, no amount of money can buy them!"

    Gezhuer saw that the water bowl in his hand was empty, so she stored it for him again.

     Chef Xu noticed that there was more of her in the room, and quickly stood up without hands and feet, and saluted in a proper manner, "This is what your old man found. Miss? I came here in a hurry, and I didn't bring any gifts to congratulate me."

    Ge Zhu'er smiled and said, "Master Xu, don't be polite, it's already the best gift for you to help my parents bring such things to Beijing."

    Perceiving that Chef Xu was very restrained, Ge Zhuer didn't stay in the main room any longer, and then went to the yard to dry the bedding.

    Gu Yin found that there was a dull and honest-looking woman in the Ge family, so she also went out to hold hands and asked.

    Ge Zhu'er explained: "This is Sister Jiang, a hard-working person I knew in the army in my early years. She used to work in Lu Guogong's mansion, and now she is free. He has no other relatives, only a godson, and his luck is not good. He was seriously injured in his early years and retired. Now he is a farmer in Shuiyun Village. Sister Jiang thinks that she is not too old, so she wants to find a job in the city , don't go to the village to take refuge with the godson's family, so as not to add a burden to their family."

    Gu Yin likes this kind of woman who doesn't rely on others, and smiles: "Is there still a place to look for it? It's not good to go to our restaurant. Would sister Jiang be willing?"

    Aunt Jiang quickly waved her hand: "My wife and I..."

    Remembering that Ge Zhuer was no longer the lady of the country, and insisted on being commensurate with her sisters, Aunt Jiang quickly changed her mouth and said: "My sister and I are ten years younger than Mrs. I'm almost twenty years older, and with my status, I don't dare to be your sister, you've smashed me."

    Gu Yin smiled disapprovingly, "Sister Pearl and I are on the same level, it's just a matter of calling. Look at the work..."

    Aunt Jiang showed a hesitant look on her face, and stammered: "Although I am useless, I still have the ability to cook. I'm so grateful, I don't dare to refuse. It's just that I have some things on my body now, and it's not easy to show up in front of people, so I can only live up to your kindness. "

    Gu Yin naturally asked, "But you are worried that the people of the Duke of Lu will embarrass you?"

    Aunt Jiang answered falteringly, apparently not being able to say more, so Gu Yin did not ask any further.

    After Gu Yin and Wu Qingyi and others left, Ge Zhuer asked about her again, and Aunt Jiang naturally did not hide it from her, and told her about the errand Feng Yu asked her to do. Gezhuer listened.

    Ge Zhu Er hesitated again and again, but she still made a trip that day.

    At that time, Gu Yin was taking Chef Xu and the kitchen knife chopping board to visit her restaurant.

    The reaction of the three masters was stunned. They didn't expect Gu Yin to say in the letter that the new store with good business was on such a scale!

    The first and second floors are now in charge of shopkeeper Zhou and two chefs, and the third floor is coordinated by Ge Zhuer, Da Sun, Wei Sanniang and others.

    Gu Yin didn't plan to change the original arrangement, so Chef Xu and his two disciples were in charge of the specialty snack shop on the fourth floor.

     Chef Xu's craftsmanship is average, but he traveled far and wide in his early years, and he was well-informed.

    Seeing that the three of them were exhausted and busy, Gu Yin probably told them about the situation, and asked Manager Zhou to take them to the staff dormitory to rest.

    I was about to go back when Ge Zhuer came.

    Gu Yinzheng wondered why she came with her when she was taking a break, Ge Zhuer explained the process in a few words, and added: "This is something the two children do by themselves, I don't know if the owner knows , just come and let me know. If the owner has already known about it, then forgive me for being talkative."

    Gu Yin didn't even know what happened to Aunt Jiang, so naturally, she didn't know anything about her, so Ge ​​Zhuer made a special trip.

    As she expected, Gu Yin thanked her first and let her go back to rest, and then thoughtfully got into the carriage back to the house with Wu Qingyi.

    Wu Qing had an opinion, so he spoke to her consciously, and just closed his eyes quietly beside her.

    It wasn't until the carriage stopped at the gate of the Guogong's mansion that Gu Yin said apologetically, "Have you been busy with me for a long time, are you exhausted?"

    Wu Qingyi smiled nonchalantly, got off the carriage first, and then handed out her hand to help her down, "It was the lady who lifted me up with the lady. The lady is so rich now, if I don't behave well, Aren't you going to be a scumbag who gets punished?"

    He heard what Chef Xu said to her before, Gu Yin laughed and nodded feigning arrogance, "That's not it, you poor brat behaved just like that today. Very good, Mrs. Ben is very satisfied."

    He was free for the rest of the day, so he kept going around in front of Gu Yin, bringing her tea and water.

    Gu Yin asked him not to be busy, and he took the "worshipful husband" as his head.

    In the afternoon, I coaxed Gu Yin to the point where her cheeks hurt from laughing.

    Although he has a cunning and unknown side occasionally, but he is rarely so funny. Today, he can see that Gu Yin is in a bad mood and wants to make her happy .

    Because she knows this level, Gu Yin is very careful.

    In the evening, Gu Ye came back from outside.

    Hearing the laughter from Gu Yin's house, he went back to the house and changed his clothes, "Why are you so happy today?"

    Gu Yin pouted towards Wu Qingyi, "It's not your uncle, because Xiao Xu misunderstood me in the daytime and disliked him, so he privately advised me not to treat him badly. Make fun of it."

    "Master Xu is also very clumsy," Gu Ye also laughed, "Mother and uncle have a more recent relationship than before."

    At this moment, Wu Qingyi stood up and said, "Mother's side is about to set dinner, I'll go over and help."

    Glancing at Gu Ye again and leaving.

    The smile on Gu Ye's face faded, and he asked seriously, "But what happened today?"

    Otherwise, his uncle would not have left their mother and son to speak alone, apparently his mother had something to tell him.

    Gu Yin asked the maid at the door to close the door, and then said: "It's not a big deal, it's just that Xiao Xu brought some things to the Ge family's uncle and aunt, I took him to the Ge family's house, I met the elder sister who was released from Duke Lu's mansion."

    Gu Ye naturally understood, "That aunt told her about the Feng family, right? I didn't want to hide it from you, but you and your uncle are about to get married soon, and you don't want those bad It's just a big happy event that hits our family."

    If you want to hide it, he will naturally tell Feng Yu to send Aunt Jiang farther away, not just to ensure her personal safety.

    While talking, Gu Ye noticed that his mother was thoughtful and hesitated, so he asked, "But my mother thinks I'm not good at handling things?"

    Gu Yin thought about it for an afternoon, and now she has come to a conclusion, and only said: "It's not bad, but it's a little bit hard to tell. Tell me first, what did you think before? "

    Gu Ye said: "I'll let the emperor's father hear me and my mother's words first, so that he feels guilty for his mother and won't accept any beauties, and solve the hidden danger from the root. Then it was to keep the Feng family 'busy'."

    "Although this Feng family is from another family, but I have had a lot of dealings with our family, and I know a little about their family. That aunt named Chun Xing, in the paddock At that time, when Feng Yu's father was drunk, he caused such a thing. I think she is restless and has a lot of heart. She and the new wife of the Feng family have formed such a deep relationship, and the two of them are bound to have a strong relationship. It's like fire and water. I only need to throw an introduction to make them fight. And Chun Xing is weak. If the old lady of the Feng family does not help, Chun Xing will definitely not be the opponent of the new lady, so the introduction must be It was all that the old lady cared about. I thought of the fake pregnancy medicine and created a fake heir."

    He paused for a while, then continued: "Feng's family is in chaos, so naturally there will be omissions. Later, the emperor's father found out a lot of things, and this happened to their family. There are also very important things. The point is, although the Feng family is making a mess of porridge, in the final analysis they have not done anything that is unforgivable. It is a family affair, and the impact is not far-reaching. When the day comes, A Yu will grow up and become a After taking over the prince of the prince and taking over the palace of the Duke of Lu, the Duke of Lu will not become a stain on A Yu."

    Seeing that Gu Yin was still silent, Gu Ye said uncertainly: "But am I wrong?"

    Gu Yin shook her head and said no, "It's not that the calculation is wrong, it's that the calculation is too right. You can count every step."

    Although she said this, there was no smile on her face. Obviously, these things she did did not make her happy.

    If others behave like this, Gu Ye has a lot of reason to refute.

    Like a sentence he recently learned from "Three Kingdoms" - "The way of using soldiers, attacking the heart is the first, attacking the city is the lower."

    The so-called heart attack is to kill the enemy's fighting spirit ideologically.

    The Feng family is not a monster for a day or two. Every now and then, I want to cause some trouble, but because of the existence of Lu Xu and Feng Yu, it is neither too serious nor too serious. .

      Fighting spirit.

    But because the person sitting opposite is his own mother, a sincere person who is full of heart and eyes for her own good, so Gu Ye doesn't argue with her about those reasons, just walks up to him, Seriously: "Where is the mother feeling bad, tell me directly, I will change it, okay?"

    Gu Yin took him into her arms and patted him on the back lightly. She did not continue the conversation, but changed the subject and asked, "How do you think your aunt Pearl is a human being? Cong is not smart. ?"

    Although Gu Ye didn't understand, he still answered according to her words: "Aunt Pearl is naturally smart and capable. Since she came to our restaurant, she helped my mother share a lot of things. Those guys and ladies didn't say anything bad about her."

    "You said that such a smart and capable person, why did the old lady in Lu Guogong's mansion have such a bad life? Is it because your aunt Pearl couldn't think of any way to fight back?"

    Gu Ye frowned thoughtfully.

    Gu Yin didn't rush, she quietly accompanied him, and after a while Gu Ye said, "Because Aunt Pearl cares about A Yu, and doesn't want to become as good at calculating as that old lady, Those who do it by means."

    "Yes." Gu Yin said with a sigh, and then asked, "Do you think that although this is your first time to deal with the Feng family, it actually seems like Not difficult?"

    Gu Ye frowned again and nodded.

    Gu Yincai continued: "If today's matter comes from the hand of the old lady of Lu Guogong's mansion, I am not at all surprised. But I didn't expect you to use such a method, I still say that, no Saying that you are not doing well, after all, as you said, the way you think of to solve the problem at the root, and then let the Feng family strife, disintegrate the fighting spirit, but preserve the strength of Lu Guogong's government and preserve Ayu's future. , it's the best of both worlds. It's just that you've calculated too accurately, including everyone's character and what everyone can do. It's your talent and ability to guess people's hearts, but you use your own talent to control heart..."

    "Will this success come too easily?"

    Gu Yin clasped his hand tightly again, "This time it's Your Majesty, it's the Feng family. Wait until next time, if there are other troubles, even if you sit in that position the other day, you will meet For so many people and so many things, would you choose such a simple and feasible method? So I said that although this method is very useful, it is also like a double-edged sword. Who should use it? , how to use it, there must be a degree, and you need to adjust it yourself."

    Gu Ye leaned on her shoulder and said in a sullen voice: "I know what mother means, mother is afraid that I will start with this and embark on a crooked path, indulging in the power of manipulating people's hearts. ."

    Imagine that if there is one person, by virtue of his innate ability, he can clearly infer the psychology of others, and then use his strategies to easily grasp the weaknesses of others and drive others to follow their own ideas.

    That was horrible.

    Gu Ye was taken aback, he thought his method was very useful before, but he never wanted to be that kind of person!

      That's what it means to be lonely.

    Gu Yin's heart was about to melt, and she couldn't help but burst into tears, "What nonsense, why should I be afraid of you? God made you come to me like a blank piece of paper , you are so smart, you can learn everything as soon as you learn it, and you can understand it in a little bit, I'm just afraid that I haven't taught you well."

    "Why didn't my mother teach me well? When others say that I am good, my mother teaches me by her own words and deeds. This time, I also said that I can handle it myself and do it myself. ." Gu Ye picked up the handkerchief in her hand, wiped it for her first, then wiped it for himself, and said with determination, "This time my mother said it, I'll know. We'll have to discuss things in the future. Come on. Also, please keep supervising me, so that I don't become that terrible person."
