Chapter 977 The Queen Is a Thousand Years Old
But now, his body smelled sour, his hair was disheveled, and his face was swollen from drinking.
He looks no different from a drunken scoundrel on the street.
Yun Dai looked back at Tian.
Tian lowered his head and said, "Since last time...Ye was arrested and Gu Yunxiang left home, my father has been drinking all day long, and it has become like this."
The step-brother was the murderer of his first wife and his legitimate daughter, and even the youngest daughter, whom he always doted on the most, was a cruel and vicious woman.
He couldn't stand the continuous blows, so he drank and became anxious.
Bao Xing pushed Gu Hongmiao and said, "Mr. Gu, wake up. The Queen is here!"
Gu Hongmiao's ears were buzzing, and he vaguely heard the last few words.
He raised his heavy eyelids and glanced at the top of his head.
Um?
He shook his head, rubbed his eyes, and took a closer look at the familiar face in front of him.
"Is it...Yundai?"
"It's me." Yun Dai said in a cold tone, "Gu Hongmiao, you are really worthless. You are over 40 years old, and you rely on your daughter-in-law to wash clothes for others, and you drink all day long, and you are still alive. What?"
Gu Hongmiao's mind was buzzing.
He struggled to get up, knelt on the ground, and said with a smile: "It turns out that the daughter of the queen of the grass people is back..."
He bowed his head and bowed, with his head on the ground, shouting: "Gu Hongmiao, a common man, pays his respects to the Queen! The Queen is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old!"
Yun Dai looked at him coldly: "Who do you show this look to? Do you think I will be angry because of this, or will I pity you?"
Gu Hongmiao slowly straightened up, wiped his face with his dirty sleeves, and said: "The common people have a life now... I wonder whose crime the Queen will punish when she comes here? Last time it was Ye's family And Yunxiang. Who is it this time? Chengan, Chengning? Or the common people?"
"Presumptuous!" Bao Xing shouted, "The Gu family has fallen into this state all because of themselves. How dare you blame the Queen?"
Gu Hongmiao chuckled, and then started crying again.
He laughed and cried, laughed and cried, and finally stopped slowly and said: "The common people dare not blame the Queen. All this is the common people's fault, hahaha!"
Yun Dai took out the imperial edict and said, "Gu Hongmiao, I didn't come here today just to hear you feel sorry for yourself. There is an imperial edict here for the Gu family. If you don't want to hear it, keep it for Gu Chengan."
Hearing the word "imperial edict", Gu Hongmiao suddenly woke up completely.
He immediately raised his head and said eagerly: "Imperial decree, the common people accept the decree, the common people will go to bathe and change clothes, set up tables and burn incense!"
"Stop being so vain." Yun Dai handed the imperial edict to Bao Xing, "Bao Xing, read it to him."
Baoxing took the imperial edict with both hands and read the contents.
Imperial edicts are all drawn up by the cabinet, so the literati naturally have to use some elaborate words that are incomprehensible. But Gu Hongmiao listened very seriously.
He was a little dumbfounded when he heard the end.
"Your Majesty...let the common people go into business?" He couldn't believe his ears.
"That's right. This is the emperor's order, not a negotiation with you. You have no other choice but to accept it." Yun Dai said, "However, this imperial decree does not let you do business, but your son Gu Chengan does business."
The expression on Gu Hongmiao's face seemed to be crying or laughing.
He murmured to himself: "What's the difference between letting the sons of grassroots people do business and letting grassroots people run business themselves?"
