Guizhuang was so itchy that he couldn't figure out what the emperor meant, so he was always out of his mind when he accompanied the emperor to visit various workshops.

Since Gu Yanwu wanted to accompany Wang Banjia, after visiting the village, he bid farewell to the emperor and returned to Gu Yanwu's mansion by himself.

Gu Yanwu's mansion is not big, it is a second-entry yard. Gu Yanwu, his wife Wang, and two concubines live in the second-entry yard, and gave Guizhuang a temporary residence.

Gu Yanwu's family has a very simple population, just that he and his wives and concubines have neither children nor maids nor servants. They cook, wash and guard the doors, all of which are the wives and concubines who do it themselves.

As a bachelor's degree, a popular figure in front of the emperor and a popular figure in the Yongli Dynasty, Gu Yanwu's life is too shabby, right? Can't you afford a maid and a servant?

Others don’t know, but Guizhuang knows it very well: it’s not that Gu Yanwu can’t afford it, but that he doesn’t want to buy it. Because he suffered a lot from his betrayal, he was in prison for more than a year and almost lost his life.

The Gu family is a large family in Kunshan, with a lot of land and property. Gu Yanwu was adopted by his deceased cousin as his heir when he was young. His widowed mother was the daughter of Wang Qi. He was unmarried at the age of 16 and kept a familial in the daytime. He read books until the second day of the evening to rest. He raised Gu Yanwu independently and taught Yue Fei, Wen Tianxiang, and Fang Xiaoru's loyalty and righteousness.

After the Qing army entered the pass, Tu Du Jiangnan, Kunshan fell, Changshu fell, Gu Yanwu's biological mother was cut off his arm, and two younger brothers were killed. When the elder mother Wang heard about the change, she went on a hunger strike to sacrifice her country. On her deathbed, she told Yanwu, saying, "Even if I am a woman, I am favored by the emperor and both the country are destroyed, it is a kind of righteousness. You are not a subject of another country, and you will live up to the great grace of the generations and never forget the teachings of my ancestors, so I can sleep in the ground forever.

The family changed drastically. Gu Yanwu followed his mother's wish and began to contact the righteous man everywhere to fight against the Qing Dynasty. Seeing that the Gu family was defeated, his servant Lu En colluded with another large family, Ye Fangheng, to seize the 800 acres of land in the master's family. He privately detained a letter written by Gu Yanwu to contact the righteous man in the anti-Qing Dynasty and handed it to Ye Fangheng. Ye Fangheng used this to threaten Gu Yanwu. Gu Yanwu was angry and anxious when he heard the news, and rushed back to Kunshan overnight to sink the rebel slave Lu En to the pond.

Ye Fangheng colluded with the government and put Gu Yanwu in prison. Later, after being rescued by friends from multiple sources, he was released from prison a year later.

After this incident, Gu Yanwu's temperament changed drastically and he no longer believed in any loyal servants in the world.

Guizhuang also knew that in addition to this knot, Gu Yanwu also had an unspeakable secret: that is, he had no son and half of his daughter. He suspected that his wife could not have children, so he took two more concubines, and his stomach was still silent. Gu Yanwu was very anxious. There were three kinds of unfilial things, and without descendants was the greatest unfilial thing.

...

Guizhuang returned to the front yard where he lived and asked the old servant Gui Laoshuan who was following him: "Is the wife in the house?"

"Master, the wife went to the backyard to help Mrs. Wang prepare the wine and food, saying that she was waiting for you and Mr. Gu to come back to the house and celebrate you." Gui Laoshuan replied.

Gui Laoshun's family of four, in addition to his wife, there is also a son Gui Xiaoshun and a daughter Gui Xiaofeng. He is a slave of Gui Zhuang's family and has never left him. This time, he came to Guangzhou to join Gu Yanwu. Although he knew that Gu Yanwu was bothering his servants, he also brought them.

"Where is Xiao Shuan and Xiao Feng?"

"Stay in the house."

Guizhuang nodded and entered the house. He brewed a cup of tea by himself, sat on the chair and thought about his thoughts: "The emperor is dissatisfied with me. Which one is dissatisfied with? Could it be that my reply is wrong?"

After thinking for a while, I didn't think of it. I had no choice but to sigh: "Oh!"

"Oh, master, why are you sighing? Are you going to be an official? You don't like me, a yellow-faced woman?" Gui Zhuang just finished sighing, and his beloved wife Qiao entered the door.

Guizhuang quickly stood up, greeted Qiao with a smile on his face, and held Qiao's hand: "What did you say? Don't you know yet? I just took out my heart. With your beautiful and capable wife, this life is enough. In my eyes, other women are just a pile of dirt."

Mrs. Qiao looked at the fan in his hand, and saw that the purse of Yuanyang playing in the water was still there. She felt sweet in her heart. She pointed her finger at Guizhuang's forehead and said angrily: "You are sweet!"

Qiao is half a head taller than Guizhuang and has a big skeleton. She looks a little bigger than Guizhuang. She is not very beautiful, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, only her straight nose and small cherry mouth look a bit charming.

Guizhuang was confused by his wife's nose and small mouth. Seeing that the red mouth was right in front of him, he forgot the unhappiness in his heart. He raised his feet slightly and kissed him.

"What are you doing? It's broad daylight. If Mrs. Gu sees it, wouldn't you be so funny?" Qiao turned his head and refused to let him kiss him.

"Sister Gu doesn't care. Come on, just take a bite of incense." Guizhuang refused to do it, and he had to marry him.

"Don't mess around! Let's talk about the main business." Qiao pressed Guizhuang's shoulders with both hands and pressed them down, and Guizhuang fell down and could no longer reach them.

"Oh, don't mention it, it's so sad." Guizhuang sat back in disappointment and sighed again. Seeing his wife sitting on the other chair, he hurriedly said, "Come on, come here, come here."

Qiao gave her husband helplessly, brought the chair over, and sat beside Guizhuang. Guizhuang held his wife's hand in his hand. Only then did she be satisfied, so she told the situation of the Queen.

"Are you talking about 'beloved wife'?" After hearing this, Qiao asked a question.

"Ah, that's what I said." Gui Zhuang was stunned, but he didn't expect that his wife was concerned about this.

"People say 'Cuzzling', but you call it 'beloved wife'. Maybe the emperor is laughing at you in his heart. You are so... so timid!" In front of the emperor, the husband did not hide his love for him. Qiao's heart was as sweet as honey, and his eyes narrowed with a smile, but he was still complaining about his husband.

"What's the matter? You're the beloved wife. If you think too much, the emperor not only didn't laugh at me, but also said I was a weird guy. Don't think about this anymore. Tell me, why don't the emperor allow me?" Gui Zhuang said.

Only then did Qiao recall the sweetness, her face showed a solemn look. After thinking for a while, she said, "It's right that I can't guess the emperor's thoughts. If you can guess the emperor's thoughts, then is it called the emperor? Don't think about it, Brother Gu will come back later and ask him?"

"You can't ask. You don't understand. Brother Gu is in charge of the emperor. Is it okay to be unhappy? We can't make things difficult for him." Gui Zhuang shook his head and said.

"Then..., I guess, the emperor may be worried about you, a strange person. Think about it, what an important position is the editor-in-chief, how could he feel at ease to let someone who doesn't like to deal with people sit on it?"

"What should I do? I really like this matter. All my life has learned and my life's ambitions are all about it!" Guizhuang said in a crying voice.

"Don't worry, I have a solution." Seeing that her husband looked like a child, Qiao quickly touched her husband's head and comforted her.

It’s strange that when she touched her, Guizhuang stopped making trouble immediately, and looked at his wife with hope in her eyes: “Tell me quickly, what can you do?”
