I had a great time during the Mid-Autumn Festival of the Gu family.

Yan Ying and her two uncles also shook hands and made peace.

Brother Xuan knew that his sister really regarded Yanying as a big child. When she got along with Yanying, she could not fool him as a little devil.

But Brother Shu thought his sister was weird.

As long as he can remember, Gu Jinzhi went to Luzhou.

Xiao Shiyi and Gu Jinzhi don’t have that deep relationship.

So after Gu Jinzhi forced him to apologize, he was a little angry.

Fortunately, they are all brothers and brothers, and blood ties are constantly blocked. Xiao Eleven is a child again and he doesn't hold such a grudge. He will forget it in a few days. This is a story later.

****

On the Mid-Autumn Festival, Gu Jinzhi was always in Gu’s house.

After dinner, it was dark and Zhu Zhongjun still did not come back. Gu Jinzhi's uneasiness increased a lot.

Song Paner and Gu Yanzhen also looked at Gu Jinzhi in confusion and asked Gu Jinzhi: "Do you know when the prince will come back?"

"Maybe the Empress Dowager has been kept to watch the moon, and I don't know when I will come back." Gu Jinzhi said with a smile.

Her silly look made everyone feel relieved.

As the moon enters, the full moon hangs on the blue sky, illuminating the world like daytime. The Gu family also offers moon cakes and fruits.

Gu Jinzhi and his two sons stayed at the Gu family to enjoy the moon.

As soon as he arrived at Xu Zheng, Yan Shao became sleepy. He was sleepy and had no bed to sleep. He started crying like a tantrum. Gu Jinzhi coaxed him and said goodbye to his parents and wanted to go back.

Song Pan'er called out to Brother Xuan'er and a few of them: "Send your seventh sister to you..."

Brother Xuan and Brother Xiao Shihuang stood up and gave Gu Jinzhi.

Xiao Eleven was a little angry. Ignore it.

Gu Jinzhi took the children back to the palace villa.

Brother Xuan held Yan Shao, who was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes, and Brother Xuan was about to hold Yan Ying.

Yanying didn't let Xiao Shiqiang, but ran over to hold Gu Jinzhi's hand.

Brother Xuan walked in front with the child in his arms, and Xiao Shi walked side by side with Gu Jinzhi.

Gu Jinzhi didn't speak.

She knew that Brother Wang was taciturn.

Or I have to talk, for fear that he will feel uncomfortable.

"My mother often says that the first thing I say is my sister." Xiao Shi suddenly said.

Gu Jinzhi was slightly surprised, turned his eyes slightly and looked at him. He smiled and said, "Yes, we were really surprised at that time. Mom told you too?"

"I often say..." Xiao Shi said, "Mom often mentions Sister Qi."

Gu Jinzhi felt a little sad.

My mother must have missed her very much.

"I saw Sister Qi, and I felt particularly friendly at first sight." Xiao Shi said again.

When he said this, he looked calm.

Gu Jinzhi laughed: "You are my younger brother. If I hadn't married far away to Luzhou, you would have grown up with me. Just like your ninth brother, the eldest sister is like a mother, her blood is thicker than water, no matter how long it takes,

Still kind, that's what it should be."

Xiao Shi nodded.

Brother Xuan, who was walking in front, stopped and smiled and said, "Xiao Shi said to me. There has not been so much in a year. He really likes Sister Qi."

He spoke very softly, for fear of waking up Yan Shao on his shoulders.

Yan Shao is already asleep.

Xiao Shi didn't feel embarrassed either. His expression remained unchanged.

He is much cooler than Little Eleven.

Gu Jinzhi remembered that he had never cried or made a fuss since he was a child and was extremely quiet.

Now that I see him like this, it’s not a big surprise.

When he arrived at the palace villa and put down the child, Brother Xuan saw that Zhu Zhongjun had not come back yet, he said, "Sister Qi, I have something to say to you. Are you tired?"

He wanted to accompany Gu Jinzhi and Zhu Zhongjun to avoid Gu Jinzhi's random thoughts.

He could see that Gu Jinzhi was a little worried about Zhu Zhongjun's visit to the palace this time.

Gu Jinzhi nodded.

Xiao Shize said: "Sister Qi, I'll go back first."

Gu Jinzhi did not force him to keep him, and told him to be slower.

After Xiao Shi left, Gu Jinzhi settled his two children to bed and sat on the kang and chatted with Brother Xuan.

"...Is it still uncomfortable?" Gu Jinzhi suddenly asked Brother Xuan.

Brother Xuan was puzzled and looked at Gu Jinzhi.

Gu Jinzhi's eyes are deep.

Brother Xuan immediately understood that she was talking about Cai Lian.

She asked Brother Xuan if he was still hurt by love.

Xuan Ge'er's first love Cai Lian married Jieyuan Fangyu from Zhejiang on June 15th. At that time, Xuan Ge'er was quite negative.

However, no one at home seemed to notice it.

Speaking of this, it is a thorn in Brother Xuan'er's heart.

He was stinged hard, and even hated Gu Jinzhi for mentioning this. He would rather no one mention it again and let the thorn rot in his heart.

"Sister Qi, let's not mention this..." Brother Xuan'er's voice suddenly became hoarse, "I...I don't think much about it anymore."

"Brother Xuan, you will be the one who wants to be a husband." Gu Jinzhi said, "Soon, you will be your father. Are you ready? If you don't let go of old things, you will not be able to get in the hearts of newcomers. You will be tortured for the rest of your life.

”

She wanted to say that she had experienced it, but when she said that, she swallowed it again.

At that time, it was Zhu Zhongjun who forced her to let go.

If no one forced me, I would never have the heart to lift the wound to see it. I would have covered the wound and gradually become suppurated. Maybe I would not be able to heal for the rest of my life and I would have lost my life.

Brother Xuan will not die, but it will have an impact on his future life, which is certain.

Gu Jinzhi was also forcing him to lift the wound and face it calmly.

Brother Xuan'er's eyes were a little astringent after hearing Gu Jinzhi's words.

He also understood Gu Jinzhi's intention.

He nodded and said, "Sister Qi, I can let go, I will be a husband, father..."

Gu Jinzhi gently held his hand.

The siblings were silent for a long time.

The night was getting darker, and the sound of drums came at the third o'clock, knocking into the eardrums.

Brother Xuan and Gu Jinzhi came back to their senses and were slightly stunned.

"Sister Qi, please rest first, don't wait for the prince." Brother Xuan said to Gu Jin, "I'm afraid the prince will rest in the palace tonight."

Gu Jinzhi nodded and said, "You go back. I'll take a break now."

Brother Xuan knew that Gu Jinzhi would still wait.

He wanted to say something, but his heart seemed to be heavy and pressed down. He was in a state of declining interest and got up and went back.

****

Gu Jinzhi has been waiting for Zhu Zhongjun.

She had no sleepiness.

She thought about a lot of things.

Was there something wrong with the emperor of the Western Expedition, or did something wrong with Zhu Zhongjun?

Zhu Zhongjun had a business opportunity not long ago. He asked his adviser Zhang Shuhe to do it. Gu Jinzhi was always worried that the matter would be exposed.

Zhu Zhongjun once told Gu Jinzhi many times that he found that the current coins have a high proportion of copper in them, higher than lead.

The price of copper ware on the market is much higher than that of coins.

Two thousand coins are exchanged for one tael of silver.

If there are fewer coins in the market, the circulation of coins will be more expensive than money. At that time, one tael of silver can only be exchanged for 700 copper plates.

But the money handed over to the treasury was all silver. One tael of silver was still exchanged for two thousand copper coins.

The difference between this is the loss of the treasury.

Because copper is mined by the state.

No one has noticed this yet, just because the capitalist economy has not yet begun.

Zhu Zhongjun sent people to hoard copper plates, melted the copper in it, used it to refine copper ware, and then sold it to the market at a high price.

The price of copper products is far dozens of times higher than that of copper ore.

Zhu Zhongjun used this economic method of later generations to make money by making money. He raised the real value of copper coins in exchange for profit.

The only loss is the treasury.

He is stealing money from the country.

Sooner or later, some people will see the tricks about this matter. There are too many talented people in the world. At that time, the treasury will flow into the private hands and the country will be empty. It will also lead to the administration of officials.

Zhu Zhongjun just wanted to disrupt this country so that the emperor and the prince could not control it.

Gu Jinzhi knew that he had this ability.

But the court officials are not fools either.

Was the matter exposed?

If this is exposed, it is not an exaggeration to kill the whole family.

After about half an hour, Gu Jinzhi finally heard the sound of footsteps.

She got up quickly and wanted to open the door in person.

The maid rushed in front of her.

It was Zhu Zhongjun who was back.

Gu Jinzhi stood up and greeted him.

"Are you anxious?" He took Gu Jinzhi's hand into the house and asked him.

He didn't ask why he wasn't sleeping yet.

He knew that Gu Jinzhi would definitely wait for him.

"Fortunately, I just came back from my mother." Gu Jinzhi replied.

After entering the house, Zhu Zhongjun didn't care about changing clothes and washing up. He took a windbreaker from the closet for Gu Jinzhi, and then said, "Let's go, let's watch the fireworks."

Gu Jinzhi was slightly surprised: "Where to see?"

She has such a big belly, how can she go out?

Zhu Zhongjun laughed and said, "In Chenxiang Tower."

The Agarwood Tower was smashed into the outer courtyard, and it was the tallest building in the royal palace. It was originally used to enjoy the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival, set off fireworks during the New Year, etc.

Zhu Zhongjun prepared fireworks a few days ago to celebrate Gu Jinzhi's birthday.

I don’t know, today was delayed.

The atmosphere was very good, and Gu Jinzhi didn't want to disappoint him, so he didn't ask him what he was doing in the palace.

She followed Zhu Zhongjun's hand and put on a windbreaker.

The couple went out.

Gu Jinzhi walked very slowly, for fear of falling.

Zhu Zhongjun supported her arm aside.

If it weren't for her inconvenience, Zhu Zhongjun would have wanted to pick her up and leave.

The two walked slowly.

Today is a sunny day, and the Qionghua is as fragrant as silver frost. The path is covered with petals and the skirt is dyed with fragrance.

When we finally arrived at the Chenxiang Tower, the servants had already put the fireworks on. Not far away, there were two musicians holding flutes in their hands and preparing to play the flute.

There was a brocade quilt on the railings in the attic.

Zhu Zhongjun helped Gu Jinzhi sit down, and then ordered the servants to start setting fireworks.

After a moment, the gorgeous light illuminated the sky, and the colorful fireworks bloomed one by one, making it a gorgeous and short feast.

Gu Jinzhi looked up.

She smiled at the corners of her eyes and asked Zhu Zhongjun: "Why did you suddenly think of setting off fireworks? Doing such bloody and numb things is really not like your style."

"But you like it." Zhu Zhongjun said.

Gu Jinzhi stopped talking.

The long and soft sound of flutes came from afar, embellishing the fireworks feast even more luxuriously.

"...I was not good enough to you in the past." Zhu Zhongjun said in her ear.

These words made Gu Jinzhi panic.

"You have always been very nice to me." Gu Jinzhi said, "It's me, I'm not good to you enough."

Zhu Zhongjun shook his head and gently hugged her in his arms.

"I always forcefully add things I think are good to you." Zhu Zhongjun sighed, "It was only in this life that I realized it."

Gu Jinzhi felt a little alert.

Why is Zhu Zhongjun suddenly so sad?

"...I'm going to go to war, Gu Jinzhi." Zhu Zhongjun said finally.

Gu Jinzhi's body suddenly froze.
