Chapter 807 The Rest of My Life Is Safe
"Let's go for the humble job." Xu Hu immediately went out and pulled Gu Chengan in.
Sure enough, Gu Chengan's nose was bruised and his face was swollen from the beating, and the cotton robe on his body was torn, exposing the cotton wool.
There is still a little bit of the appearance of a literati.
Speaking of which, he is still serving in the court.
Although Gu Yunxiang was not welcome in the yamen after his downfall, he was still a decent official anyway, how could he be reduced to such a point?
Even Zhao Yuanjing couldn't help frowning upon seeing her.
"If all the court officials of my Great Zhou looked like this, they would not be far from subjugation."
Gu Chengan was beaten so dizzy, his head turned black, and he couldn't see clearly who was in front of him for a while.
It wasn't until he heard the emperor's voice that he suddenly woke up.
He hurriedly looked up, and sure enough, he saw the emperor and Yun Dai sitting beside the emperor.
He was taken aback, knelt down and kowtowed in panic: "My minister is guilty, my minister is guilty!"
Yun Dai picked up the teacup and looked outside with an indifferent expression.
Zhao Yuanjing asked: "Gu Chengan, what's the matter with you?"
Although Gu Chengan was extremely ashamed, the emperor dared not answer the question, so he spoke intermittently.
Ever since Gu Hongmiao was dismissed from office, the late emperor passed away, and Gu Yunxiang fell into disrepair, the Gu family has been going downhill, and the decline is almost irreversible. Up to now, the Gu family has almost become a problem even eating.
Gu Cheng'an had no choice but to borrow money from others, and until now, his relatives and friends all looked at him and hid.
He had no choice but to borrow usury, so he was being chased for debt.
Zhao Yuanjing said: "The salaries I give to the officials, although I don't say that they will make you rich and rich, it is always not a problem to have food and clothing. The Gu family still has ancestral property, so it won't be to the point where you can't eat?"
Gu Chengan said in shame: "It is said that it is difficult to change from extravagance to frugality, and the family expenses are high...plus you have to support Xiao'an, and Gu Yunxiang..."
After hearing this, Yun Dai turned to look at him: "Who is Anhao?"
Gu Chengan bowed his head and said, "Anhao is Gu Yunxiang's child..."
"This name..."
"I chose the name for the child. I hope she will be well and safe for the rest of her life." Gu Chengan said in a low voice.
Yun Dai curled her lips slightly, revealing a smile of unknown meaning, but did not speak.
Zhao Yuanjing asked: "How is that child doing now?"
Gu Chengan hurriedly said: "Well, this child is born with a disabled leg, and can only use crutches for the rest of his life. Fortunately, everything else is normal, he can eat and sleep."
Zhao Yuanjing pondered.
Speaking of which, this child is a member of the royal family after all. Although he was rejected by the Empress Dowager because of a birth disability, this child is pitiful after all.
Yun Dai glanced at Zhao Yuanjing, and said with a smile: "Second Lord, isn't he thinking about taking the child back to the palace to raise?"
Zhao Yuanjing's beautiful Danfeng eyes blinked.
He was really thinking about it.
the fool.
It's time for him to know the truth.
Yun Dai put down her teacup, stood up, and said, "Second Master, it's still early, why don't we go to Gu's house to see that child?"
Zhao Yuanjing was a little surprised: "Dai'er willing to go?"
He thought that Yun Dai hated the Gu family so much that he was unwilling to step in again.
Yun Dai smiled slightly: "I'm not a petite person, if someone offends me, as long as I apologize and try to make up, I will still forgive."
Zhao Yuanjing inexplicably felt that this sentence seemed to be talking about himself...
Was his apology sincere enough?
He asked himself quite sincerely.
But what does this compensation mean?
He looked at Xu Hu.
Xu Hu coughed lightly, and said in a low voice: "When the humble officer offends the child's mother at home, as long as she buys some fabric or jewelry, she will be happy."
