As for Sifang and Wufang, let alone making soy sauce, Gu Tingxuan's eldest son is more than enough to see a soy sauce shop, and Gu Tingyang's eldest daughter is old enough to be a soy sauce shop owner.

Gu Tingye's eyes gradually brightened, and the corners of his mouth were smiling. Minglan looked at him and sighed: "I think the father must have a deep affection with the first wife, 鹣鹣, and the affection is extremely deep."

Gu Tingye's face slowly sinks. This sentence is not casual, deducing its meaning. If the old Houye has a deep affection for the first Mrs. Qin, he will not be very close to Mrs. Bai who married in immediately. Accept, and for the present Mrs. Qin, I will love the house and the black.

Gu Tingye lightly hugged Minglan, put her arms in her arms, and whispered softly: "When I was a child, I heard the fifth aunt talk about the first wife, saying that she and her father’s childhood sweetheart, love and affection, because she is weak and sick, father asked herself The Holy Order went to guard the side, so as to avoid the long-winded interference of the elders in Beijing; nowadays, the lady too often puts her on her lips, saying that she is beautiful and noble, elegant and gentle, tender and tender, which is beyond the world's reach Good girl; father, remember her for a lifetime."

Ming Lan pouted, she leaned into the man's arms and said lightly: "The second thing I don't understand is the age of Mrs. Tai." She obviously felt that the man's muscles were tight, and then said, "Cong Tai According to the madam’s zodiac sign, she is forty-four years old this year. When you were born, she was nineteen years old. One year later, she married into the Hou Mansion at twenty. In other words, when the first Madam Qin died, she I'm also sixteen years old. What's this...?"

If the old man really has such a deep affection for the first Mrs. Qin and wants to find the daughter of the Qin family to continue to take care of Gu Tingyu, then he can marry Mrs. Qin, why is there a Mrs. Bai in between?

Ming Lan sensed the stiffness of Gu Tingye's body, slowly got up, looked into his eyes, and said firmly but softly: "At that time, what reason did the father-in-law have, should he marry the mother-in-law?" This question is a bit embarrassing. It is the root of all problems today.

Gu Tingye stared at Minglan for a long time, not knowing what to say; these years, Gu Tingye's heart was sinking, but the family affairs were still hard to say, and when it was true, he didn't know where to start; Minglan didn't ask for a while. , But seeing Weizhi writing, I can see some things clearly.

Ming Lan had never seen Gu Tingye's expression. Her stern eyebrows were raised high, her eye sockets were plunged into the shadows, her eyes were gloomy and dangerous, but she was faint, she seemed helpless, after a long time. , He slowly spoke: "My grandfather is the Haining Bai family, have you heard of it?"

Ming Lan wanted to express her admiration, but she had never heard of the Bai family. The most famous one in Haining was the Chen family of seven scholars, the Zhao family of the father and son Sanhanlin, and the former patron Xu At home, there are also some family members who live there. There is no Bai family anyway, so Ming Lan had to shake her head honestly.

Gu Tingye laughed at himself: "Naturally, I have never heard of it. The Bai family is neither a clan nor a scholar, but a salt merchant."

Ming Lan was stunned. Shi, farmers, commerce, and his mother is from the lowest merchant. Anyway, there are Confucian merchants and righteous merchants, but they are the salt merchants that people look down upon. This... How to pay respect to the Bai family is quite difficult.

Gu Tingye continued: "Do you know what the salt merchants have the most?"

"Salt." Minglan blurted out without thinking, and immediately attracted a knuckle to knock on her forehead. She immediately covered her forehead and whispered, "Silver! The most silver!"

Gu Tingye bent down her slender index finger and middle finger, and stared at Ming Lan with a smile. Can't she be more serious and sad.

Ming Lan looked at the two still curved fingers with a lingering fear, and said timidly: "Don't say, your father married your mother for money!" The merchant's low status, how can he threaten the powerful.

"It was for the sake of silver, and no one believed it. Later I checked it carefully, and then I knew the front and back." Gu Tingye sank the hole, put his fingers on his knees, his eyes were cold: "Queen Jingan that year After passing away, Emperor Wu became overwhelmed and angry, and his temperament suddenly turned violent and suspicious. He shot many imperial concubines and maidservants. He also gave the imperial concubine to death at that time, and wanted to punish her whole family. At that time, the clan of the imperial concubine was in charge of the family and was liquidated. Below, it was found that the household department owed a deficit of more than three million taels, which was the result of many years of meritorious deeds; originally it was not a major event that would shake the country’s foundation, and it was only necessary to gradually return the money. But at that time, When Emperor Wu turned his anger, he imposed heavy punishments and ordered those who did not pay off within half a year to seize the title!"

Ming Lan was completely stunned, and said after a while: "How much does Ningyuan Houfu owe?"

"Not much." Gu Tingye's mouth was sarcastically, "A total of eight hundred eighty thousand taels of silver."

Ming Lan almost took a breath, eight hundred eighty thousand taels of silver? This group of prodigal sons! Is there such a fancy one?

Gu Tingye let out a long sigh, looking up at the roof of the carved and painted building, with an obscure expression: "The Gu family settled all the ancestral properties overnight, but it is not enough. Seeing that the deadline is approaching, the Rongguo Palace has been The family was ransacked without property, and the family was demoted to common people. The situation was miserable. The Gu family went crazy; at that time, I don’t know who... mentioned the Bai family."

Ming Lan was stunned. She listened to Gu Tingye dumbfoundedly. "My grandfather is also a human being. He was born in a boat at sea. After saving some capital, he went ashore. I don’t know what way I went and got through. After the officialdom, he became a salt merchant! After 20 years of accumulation, his family property is extremely rich. In his early years, he did not kiss his brothers, but only my mother and daughter."

Ming Lan didn't want to speak anymore, she just sighed long—without brothers, from a humble background, but with a wealth of wealth, the white lady only had the word ‘fatty’ written on her forehead.

"So, the father-in-law married the mother-in-law?" When she said this, even Minglan didn't realize that she was sarcastic.

Gu Tingye smiled bitterly, but couldn't overcome the coldness: "The next thing, ten people have ten kinds of opinions, I hear too many, and I don't know it; but...the one that says most is At that time, his father suggested to the Bai family to marry his mother as a partial house, hehe, thinking that she, a daughter of a merchant, could enter the Hou Mansion as a partial house. It was a blessing from the sky. But the Bai family refused to agree and decided to be the main house. Under the coercion, Mrs. Qin, the leader, was forced to death."

Ming Lan took a deep breath, stood up immediately, straightened the rocker, and categorically said: "Nonsense! Nonsense! Which lunatic turns black and white like this?"

Gu Tingye raised his head to look at Minglan, his eyes were cold, and the corners of his mouth had a mocking smile: "How do you know? Maybe it's true."

Ming Lan took a deep breath and said loudly: "Yes, it is the women of the wealthy businessmen who entered the rich and powerful houses as concubines. But what is this for? It's just for in-laws to exchange money for power! Letting out a daughter, The merchants can do things more conveniently, the rich and powerful get the money divided, and both sides are good. But the Bai family is not the case. The Bai family has only one girl. Who else will continue the salt trade, so he does not need to borrow from the powerful, and because there is no brother To help, he wants to find a reliable son-in-law! How could he'coerce' the Gu family to marry his daughter? Still'live and die' Madam Zhengtou? Isn't this a vengeance? Nonsense! Dream talk is more credible than this!"

Ming Lan still feels angry, and secretly said: With such a large dowry, who can't marry Mrs. Bai? Is the world man dead? Do you have to take care of your father? To be honest, this is not the Bai family picking up the Gu family, it is precisely the Gu family who is in desperate situation begging the Bai family.

Bring money to save lives and want someone to be a concubine? Pull it! The Arabian Nights is more realistic.

Gu Tingye leaned on the chair, sneered several times, quietly looked at Minglan, his eyes became clear: "Because of this rumor, my eldest brother hates me the most since I was a child, and I don't blame him, anyway. Getting into trouble is the most unsavory thing in the family. Until many years later, my mother's nanny Chang Chang came to the capital to see me and told me the cause and effect. It turned out that Mrs. Qin was frail, and there were rumors in the house that we would marry me. The Bai family’s daughter could be relieved. She was worried about her sorrow and died in childbirth. The Bai family didn’t know this, so my maternal grandfather married her mother. Since then, I have often confronted my father and my temper has become more and more serious. Broken..."

Ming Lan stared at Gu Tingye with a stare, feeling that he was pitiful for the first time in her life. Marrying a business woman as Mrs. Hou was a shameful shame for the Gu family. Mrs. Bai’s existence was a sign that the Gu family was in desperation. For this reason, Lord Hou allowed the spread of rumors that slandered Mrs. Bai, but he never defended her and looked at Gu Tingye. Angrily and desperate, degenerate step by step, but never frankly explained.

Of course, the Da Qin clan is also very pitiful, but in the end she has enjoyed a good life, and a catastrophe is coming. As Mrs. Hou, she should have been together, but she also attracted Gu Laohou. It is enough for the Lord to anger the Bai clan and Gu Tingye in the future.

"...My father missed his former wife, and his mother was impatient and unhappy everywhere in the house. The two became even more at odds. When the mother was pregnant with her second child, she had a fight with her father. "Death." Gu Tingye narrated calmly, as if it were someone else's business, and his expression was unusually flat. "Now I think about it, my father is not bad to me, it is indeed that I am unsatisfied; now I treat his wife, children and brothers so slowly, I am afraid it is. He doesn't look at him underground, right?" He said, sneered again and again, his eyes were full of cynicism.

"What?" Gu Tingye looked at Minglan in a daze, and raised his lips, "I shouldn't have it?"

"Why shouldn't it?" Minglan finally came back to her senses. The Gu Mansion's past is too legendary. Betrayal, deceit, conspiracy, rumors, and the counterattack of the Count of Monte Cristo are not easy to digest for a while.

Ming Lan asked inexplicably and actively cited reasons: "Everyone is good in this matter, but your mother and child are not good. The Gu family is decent and considerate, and the Qin family’s in-laws are as old, but what can the Bai family do? Mother, a pot of sewage was poured on her body, and she was not peaceful after she died. As a son, he was forced out of the house, alone, and drove into the rivers and lakes alone. Have you ever thought, if the four princes did not seek rebellion? How about accepting the three princes as the reserve?"

Gu Tingye suddenly looked like fire, and instantly burned out all self-deprecating sarcasm. He was determined to look at Minglan, and burst out a sneer from his heart: "If the four princes do not seek rebellion, the third princes will take the throne, and there will be no eight princes. What's wrong. Then, everything in Ningyuan Hou Mansion remains the same. Those who survived eating the flesh and blood of the Bai family are still prosperous and prosperous, and those who stepped on our mother and son continue to enjoy the honor. My father has passed away, and I am not here again. Niang’s tablet will be removed from the ancestral hall, and I will continue to mix in the lower nines."

Ming Lan nodded and looked straight back: "So, if you resent, you are absolutely right." Her tone was more sincere and sincere than when she asked to join the party.

Gu Tingye laughed inexplicably, and Mother Chang also cursed Ningyuan Hou Mansion with an anxious expression on her face, but he did not feel that there was sympathy, but was a little bored; in his opinion, the Bai family was also improper, knowing that Qi Dafei, still Greedy climbed this marriage, hoping for a miracle to happen, Madam Bai knew that the future was awkward and didn't plan to plan much, so she died early.

Every time he thinks of these, he is more sneer and indifferent.

The anger and grievances in my youth are not so enthusiastic today. After seeing the glory and shame of life and death, it is not so easy to get excited. It seems that after the blazing flame burns, only some ashes are left. Now, he only feels unwilling, is it because he came into this world because it was a sum of money?

To this day, after listening to Ming Lan Shicai’s words, Gu Tingye’s long indifferent memories heat up again. Yes, in fact, he has been secretly hating, but he hates him but he can’t vent it, so he can only laugh indifferently. Something happened.

Gu Tingye sighed. It turned out that it was not that difficult to admit that he hated his relatives. The Xin Mi, which has been difficult to tell for many years, has been said so simply today, even though I feel so happy.

It seems that it is really nice to have a wife who can help him find reasons to hate relatives.

"That's right." Minglan twisted her finger and asked a little hesitantly, "That... mother-in-law, how much dowry did she bring?"

"About one million taels of silver, there are some farm shops." Gu Tingye said smoothly.

Ming Lan stayed, almost wanting to beat her chest and yell—God, earth, a million taels of silver! If she has the money, and an old man who loves him, why don't she do anything wrong, hire a team of guards, find a loyal and reliable master, travel overseas, hunt for wonders in the Western Regions, what a beautiful world! Even if she killed her, she wouldn't marry such a widower who dragged oil bottles and loved his ex-wife!

Ms. Bai, Ms. Bai, Daddy White, Daddy White, what do you want everyone to say about you?

Finally——

"It is true that everyone is innocent, and he is guilty of his crime." Ming Lan said softly, with a sad expression, and stood by her hands.

Gu Tingye gently pulled Minglan and hugged it in his arms, feeling quite moved in his heart. After holding her to soothe for a long time, he said: "Don't be sad, it's been a long time."
