Do you know the long song of laughter?

Chapter 342 Disposal Result
However, just when Xiao Qin imagined that her sister would die and marry into the Gu family, the Gu family was ordered by the officials to pay it back within a time limit because of the money they owed to the Ministry of Household Affairs, otherwise they would seize the title, and had to divorce Da Qin. surname, married surname Bai.

Da Qin was already very ill at that time, and he died immediately after suffering this blow.

Gu Yankai was heartbroken, and Xiao Qin was not much better.

She was not sad because of her sister's death, but sad that she could not marry the brother-in-law whom she had admired and loved since she was a child.

Xiao Qin was very unwilling, so he looked for an opportunity to kill Bai.

In the end, she got her wish and married into the Gu family.

Perhaps because the two sisters were somewhat similar, Gu Yankai was very kind to her when they first got married.

Just when Xiao Qin felt that she was extremely happy, one night, Gu Yankai was still calling her sister's name in her dream.

Only then did Xiao Qin wake up from the sweet dream she had made. It turned out that Gu Yankai had always liked only her sister, and she was just a substitute.

This reality made Xiao Qin's psychology become distorted.

After she marries into the Gu family, she will be favored by Gu Yankai.

It was precisely because of this mentality that she had the idea of ​​seeking a title.

Once she plots to kill Gu Tingye, Gu Yankai will not let her go no matter whether it succeeds or not.

Even the Sheng family.

Because of this, she knew that even if she got someone to tell Gu Yankai now, although Gu Yankai would be angry, he would not really be disappointed in Gu Tingye.

This is also the reason why Xiao Qin never thought of killing Gu Tingye and only resorted to killing him with praise.

Maybe it was to show off in front of Gu Yankai, or maybe it was because he felt a little guilty for killing Gu Tingye's mother.

I have never given any thought to the title.

Xiao Qin planned to help Gu Tingye find a marriage first, and then expose the matter when Gu Tingye failed the job and the marriage was about to be decided.

Because she understood that she was just flattering and Gu Yankai would not do anything to her because of her sister.

Gu Yankai wanted to train Gu Tingye as his heir, and Xiao Qin naturally knew it.

Xiao Qin felt that if the Sheng family had not forced Gu Yankai to divorce his wife and marry another, and her sister had died normally, Gu Yankai would not have been so obsessed with her sister.

I have to say that Xiao Qin's acting skills are so good, and he almost eliminated Gu Tingye's suspicion by accident.

……

So he began to praise Gu Tingye, and even kept saying in front of Gu Tingyu that his mother was killed by Gu Tingye's mother, and Gu Tingyu was also involved in the conspiracy.

However, when she knew that she was just a substitute for her sister, Xiao Qin's heart was filled with hatred.

Gu Yankai was vaguely aware of Xiao Qin's methods, but because of the death of his wife, he just warned him but was unwilling to go into details.

Only then will the benefits be greatest.

Some were angry with Gu Yan, some were angry with her deceased eldest sister, and some were angry with Bai Shi.

Since she entered the Gu family, she has been very kind to Gu Tingye.

Gu Tingye didn't know Xiao Qin's plan.

If Gu Tingye hadn't seen the excitement deep in Xiao Qin's eyes, he might have told her Mannia's whereabouts.

However, Gu Tingye still doesn't believe it yet, and it depends on Xiao Qin's reaction next.

……

Li An didn't know what happened to the Gu family. He took his eldest brother to Yahang and bought four maids and two boys.

Originally, Li An wanted to buy more, but was stopped by Li Ping.

Including those brought from Yangzhou, there are already ten servants. Why do we need so many people to serve?

It can only be said that poverty limits imagination.

It is normal for a young lady from a wealthy family to have a dozen or even dozens of servants waiting on her.

Li Ping's thoughts reminded An Li of a joke he saw in his previous life.

Two old farmers imagined the emperor's luxurious life. One said: "I think the emperor must eat all-you-can-eat steamed buns every day!"

Another said: "More than that, I think the emperor must have used gold hoes when going to the fields!" Although the Li family has become prosperous in recent years, they still care about small farmers.

This is what is often said.

The Li family can only be regarded as a nouveau riche, but their background is far behind.

But this kind of thing cannot be cultivated in a day or two.

And Li An doesn’t think there’s anything wrong with this.

Being simple is better than being extravagant.

“Bianjing is really prosperous.”

Li Ping sat on the bullock cart and looked around. Although Yangzhou was also prosperous, it was far behind Bianjing.

Apart from anything else, the ox carts that can be seen everywhere in Bianjing are rare in Yangzhou.

This thing is like the inconvenience of parking in big cities in later generations, so you can go out and take the bus and subway.

On the contrary, it is convenient in small cities, and everyone who has a car will drive.

"Haha, I will be in Bianjing from now on, so I have plenty of time to appreciate it slowly." Li An said with a smile.

"Let's put this aside, A Niu, didn't you say you had other business for me to do when you came to Bianjing?" Li Ping said.

When Li An persuaded them to come to Bianjing before, he was reluctant to come.

However, Li An said that he was only willing to come if a more profitable business than braised meat was entrusted to him.

"Brother, we have just arrived in Bianjing this time. Why are you in a hurry? Don't worry, I will definitely not leave you idle." Li An said quickly.

In fact, he really didn't think about what to do, he just said that to persuade his eldest brother to come to Bianjing.

A secret braised food recipe can be targeted by others. If he comes up with something else that is more profitable, he is afraid that he will be targeted again.

In the final analysis, it is still a matter of power.

When I got home, as expected, I was scolded again by Ms. Liu.

Li An chatted with his parents for a while and then ran away.

His parents wanted Li An to live here, but Li An still thought it was more convenient to live alone.

After taking Desheng back home, the maid Haitang happily welcomed him out.

"Young Master, while you were out, many people came to look for you. They left when they learned that you were not here, but Mr. Su and Mr. Wang left a letter for you."

Haitang briefly talked about what happened at home, then took two letters and gave them to Li An.

Li An took the letter and opened the one left by Su Shi first and read it.

This is Su Shi's farewell letter. Su Shi has passed the college entrance examination and won the third class.

In this kind of standardized examination, the first and second grades are just fake, and the third grade is the best.

Su Shi was awarded the title of Fengxiang Mansion Judge of the seventh rank. He originally wanted to say goodbye to Li An, but learned that Li An went on a study tour and could only leave a letter before taking up his post.

No wonder it is said that some people in the court are good at becoming officials. Although Su Shi was delayed for several years because of his mother's death.

But after being appointed as an official for a few months, he took a formal examination and became a seventh grade official.

There are really few other people on the same list as him who have higher official positions than him.

Li An could feel Su Shi's joy from his letters.

Shaking his head, he opened Wang Anshi's letter and read it.

On the way, Li An heard about the official's treatment of Wang Anshi.

After Wang Anshi was escorted back to Bianjing, the officials put him under house arrest in the post station.

The punishment was imposed after repeated petitions from DPRK and Chinese officials.

In fact, it was not considered a punishment. He was retained as prose officer, revoked from his position, and ordered to return to his hometown to reflect.
