Guo Song has agreed in principle that there are still a lot of detailed things to be done, including the repair of the court's house, preliminary preparations, the distribution of official rooms, the relocation of documents and a series of things to do.

Especially for the repair of the house, many official rooms in the Daming Palace leaked rain and water leakage seriously, so they took this opportunity to repair together.

After a while, everyone discussed for a while, and soon reached a consensus that without two or three months, these trivial chores would definitely not be completed, and the overall relocation of the imperial court would not be until at least autumn, and the newly appointed officials could only handle official business in makeshift tents and survive the summer.

When Guo Song returned to the inner palace, night had quietly fallen, Xue Tao brought him dinner, Guo Song picked up the wine glass and asked with a smile: "Did you go to find Yu Niang today?" ”

Xue Tao sighed lightly and said, "Let's talk about this matter after my husband finishes dinner!" ”

"It doesn't matter! You just say yes. ”

Xue Tao had to smile bitterly and said: "I looked for Yu Niang this morning, and she also went to inquire, and then came back at noon to tell me the result that our precious son actually went to help the poor." ”

"Is it a student with the surname Joe?" Guo Song asked with a smile.

Xue Tao was surprised: "Husband has already inquired?" ”

"That's not true, I saw a little clue in the school that day, and I really don't know the specific thing."

"It is a student named Qiao Shuigen, his father used to be a soldier of the Jin Army, and later returned to his hometown with injuries, but when the family was repairing the house, he fell off the roof and became paralyzed, and he came to Chang'an to seek medical treatment and was deceived, and the family of four lived in a small house, relying on the student's mother to wash the dishes for the restaurant, and wash the clothes for people at night, and earn about three times a month."

"And then?" Guo Song asked again.

"Then our children were kind-hearted, and they gave them a hundred taels of silver."

Guo Song felt that his wife's tone was a little unhappy, so he smiled and asked, "Isn't this a good thing?" Why is the lady a little angry? ”

Xue Tao shook his head and said: "Although I don't leave home, but I also read the "Chang'an Express" every day, the newspaper tells in detail about the monthly income and expenditure expenses of the people at the bottom of Chang'an, it stands to reason that the income of three yuan a month, the basic life should be guaranteed, the wheat is only 30 wen a bucket, the coarse cloth is only 20 wen a horse, the salt family is enough for a bucket a month, plus cheap turnips, weeds (bean leaves, the lowest vegetables in the Tang Dynasty), you can occasionally buy some cheap fish and shrimp, like a two-pound crucian carp is only a dozen yuan, small fish and shrimp are cheaper, A few pennies a bunch.

As long as a family member spends money on food and clothing, as long as they are frugal and simple, do not go to restaurants, do not buy expensive meat and melons and fruits, they can save up to a consistent amount of money a month, plus 500 yuan per month for rent, and then remove some miscellaneous expenses, their family can save consistent money in a month! Why do you want Cheng'er to give them the savings she has worked so hard to save for several years? ”

Guo Song thought for a while and said: "I estimate that their family still has to treat the child's father and take medicine, which is a big expense, and the money can't be stopped for a month." ”

"He's already paralyzed, what's the point of taking medicine to see a doctor?"

Guo Song shook his head, "Paralysis in bed, if it is not treated, it will slowly spread to the whole body, and it will only be a few years of life, if you want to live longer, you still have to take acupuncture and medicine, they must have asked a lot of doctors, and this money can change the fate of their family, in fact, it is also a kind of merit." ”

"But ....."

Xue Tao sighed, "I just think that Cheng'er is still too simple, he actually said that it was a subsidy given by the government to disabled soldiers, and he went to help collect it on his behalf, such a simple lie, the family actually believed it, is the government so stupid, if you don't come to see it, you will be given a hundred taels of silver?" If it is not a relative, how can the city receive it on its behalf? With such a simple truth, I think the family is a little unconscionable, and they feel that Cheng'er is young and easy to bully. ”

Guo Song waved his hand, "We must not interfere in this matter, this is the growth process of Cheng'er, no matter whether this money is worth it or not, it is a kind of compassion for the people in Cheng'er, this is the purpose of I arranged for him to go to Ju'anfang to teach, I don't want him to grow up in brocade clothes and jade food, I don't know the hardships at the bottom, let him judge, let him experience, we don't know anything." ”

Speaking of this, Guo Song asked again: "The lady didn't let Yu Niang interfere in this matter, right?" ”

Xue Tao shook his head, "I would like to, but Yu Niang said that the husband had a strict order before, except for safety, they were not allowed to interfere in anything in the city." ”

"Don't blame Yu Niang, they are the Jin Wei Mansion, the Jin Wangfu is ironclad and invulnerable, Yu Niang can tell you about the city, and it is also because you are the princess, she will not divulge anyone except you."

Xue Tao nodded silently and said, "Actually, I know, I don't blame her, I just hope that she can protect the safety of the city." ”

After dinner, Guo Song looked at today's newspaper, but he was thinking about his son's affairs in his heart, in fact, he also knew that his son was a little impulsive in this matter, as the saying goes, 'Shengmien, fighting Mi Qiu', 'saving the emergency but not helping the poor', the son gave this large amount of money to the other party, but the other party did not return it to his son, in fact, he was already greedy, which may not be a good thing for this family.

Do you want to educate your son through this?

Guo Song pondered for a long time, and decided to pretend that he didn't know anything for the time being, and wait to see the follow-up development of this matter.

.........

In the afternoon, Guo Jincheng came to the school as usual, and as soon as he entered the gate of the school, he eagerly looked at Qiao Shuigen's seat, Qiao Shuigen had not come to school for two days, which made him a little worried.

Qiao Shuigen's seat was still vacant, Guo Jincheng's heart tightened, could it be that something happened to his family?

At this time, another student, Zhang Dakui, ran up and said, "Sir, I already heard about Qiao Shuigen yesterday. ”

"Tell me, what's wrong with him?" Guo Jincheng asked eagerly.

Zhang Dakui scratched his head and said, "Their neighbor said that Qiao's family moved out overnight two days ago. ”

"Moved out?"

Guo Jincheng was stunned, "Where did they move to?" ”

Zhang Dakui shook his head, "I don't know, it seems that I hired an ox cart and left." ”

Guo Jincheng was a little unsettled in class in the afternoon, as soon as school ended, he hurried to Qiao's house, and there were still more than 20 steps away from Qiao's house, and he saw many people standing at the door of Qiao's house, and a banner was erected on the roof, and a white cloth was hung on it.

Guo Jincheng was really stunned, this is a sign of a funeral! Who died in the Qiao family?

He walked forward slowly, the door was full of people, surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, not like someone who came to help, but like a group of idlers who came to see the excitement, Guo Jincheng couldn't see the situation in the house clearly, and faintly heard crying from the house.

An old man shook his head and squeezed out of the crowd, Guo Jincheng hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "May I ask my uncle, what's going on with the Qiao family?" ”

The old man sighed and said, "Qiao Si is dead, it seems that he was killed." ”

Guo Jincheng was shocked and asked anxiously, "How could he be killed?" ”

"I don't know the specifics, but I don't think it's too bad, he's dead, and their family is relieved."

"Why do you say that?"

"He's paralyzed! It can't be cured at all, but he still has to take medicine and see a doctor every month, how much money is spent in vain, and the family's money is not even enough to eat, but Qiao Si only thinks about himself, but he doesn't care how much he drags the lady and the two children down......"

Speaking of this, the old man waved his hand, "Forget it, the deceased is the greatest, I won't say more, my two dollars should be thrown into the water." ”

The old man shook his head and left, Guo Jincheng slowly walked to the door, and vaguely saw Qiao Shuigen, his younger brother and mother wearing linen and filial piety, kneeling beside the bed and crying bitterly?

Guo Jincheng was about to squeeze in, but he felt someone tap him on the shoulder, and when he turned around, he saw Wang Yue, the leader of the internal guard, standing behind him.

"Wang Tong... Brother Wang, why are you here? Guo Jincheng asked in surprise.

Wang Yue smiled slightly: "What do you say? ”

Of course, Guo Jincheng knows his identity as the son, and there will definitely be someone to protect his safety, but he hopes that the people who protect him will not interfere in his life, and it is best not to show his face.

The two walked to the side, and Guo Jincheng asked in a low voice, "Commander Wang has been following me?" ”

Wang Yue shook his head, "That's not true, the internal guards don't care about the personal guards, just now a subordinate told me that there was a homicide here, because you are also in this area, I don't worry, so I rushed over to check the situation in person." ”

Guo Jincheng hurriedly asked, "Have you checked the situation clearly?" ”

Wang Yue nodded lightly, and said, "This is not the place to talk, let's change places." ”

Guo Jincheng glanced at the room again, and then hurriedly left with Wang Yue.......

In a small teahouse, Wang Yue poured a cup of tea for Guo Jincheng and said, "Their family suddenly got a sum of money, does it have anything to do with the son?" ”

Guo Jincheng's heart sank, could it be that Qiao Si's murder had anything to do with that money?

He nodded, admitting that the money had something to do with him.

Wang Yue said: "This incident happened yesterday evening, the place of the accident was in Baqiao, someone has reported to the official, the official of Chang'an County has been interrogated in detail, early this morning, or the official sent them back." ”

"Tell me, what's going on?" Guo Jincheng asked anxiously.

"Childe, don't worry, listen to me slowly."

Wang Yue pondered the wording and said, "Son's money has caused a lot of disagreement in their family!" ”
