Chapter 246: A False Alarm
Gu Zizhong walked down the corridor directly to the crescent moon gate, turned around, and was bumping into his parents who came back.
Gu Zizhong couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Father, mother, are you back?"
Gu Wangye looked very relaxed, waved his hand casually, and said, "Well, I'm back." ”
Gu's mother looked at her daughter with a kind smile on her face.
Gu Zizhong was a little surprised, and he also guessed in his heart.
This is not the place to talk, though.
Gu Zizhong welcomed his parents back.
After arranging the fruits in the east wing, Gu Zizhong personally poured tea for his parents.
Brought to his parents, Gu Zizhong said very childishly: "This is the tea that Zizhong made early this morning, and now it is also cold." Father and mother quenched their thirst with two sips. ”
Gu Wangye and Mrs. Gu were still very pleased, and took the teacup and took a few sips.
Gu Zizhong smiled, grinning like a three-year-old child, and immediately sat down beside his father, staring at his father's face and said curiously: "Father and mother didn't come back for half a day today, what are you doing?"
Gu's mother also had to look at Gu Wangye's face.
Gu Wangye said very casually: "This is our business, and it has nothing to do with you, a child." You're still young, why are you asking so much?"
Gu Zizhong was very unconvinced, pouted, and hurriedly defended: "It is said that my daughter will marry at fifteen." I'm fifteen or sixteen years old now, and I'm an adult. Can't my father and mother look the other way at me?"
Gu Wangye looked at his daughter with pride, but was amused by his daughter's appearance: "Good daughter, you have really grown up now." Actually, it wasn't anything, we just went to visit old friends. ”
Gu's mother then smiled and said, "Yes, our Gu family has been in the capital for many days, but we have never had free time to visit others. ”
The parents were serious, but Gu Zizhong didn't understand that this was just an excuse for his parents.
The Gu family has been in the capital for so many days, Gu Zizhong is not at home many times, and his mother is even more idle at home.
So to say that you are not available, this is just an excuse.
If you don't come to the door for three years, you can't kiss or kiss.
The Gu family and other people should be far away.
This time, my father and mother came to visit, and I guess I really didn't have a trick to make this decision.
But looking at the parents' complexions, they must be very polite.
It's a good relationship, isn't it?
Gu Zizhong laughed happily, deliberately looking very childish, and said, "I heard my brother say, the two of you went to the house of the cabinet scholar, what is the origin of the family, and who is in the family, I don't even know yet!"
Gu's mother said patiently: "The family members of the cabinet scholars have been officials under the Gu family, and this has to be said to be fifty years." At that time, your father was still a son, just like your brother. ”
As she spoke, Gu's mother couldn't help laughing.
Gu Shizi was just a listener on the side, why did his mother suddenly talk about herself again?
Gu Shizi immediately said: "Sister, she forced me to ask, so I had to tell you where you went." Father and mother, don't blame me, no one can do it in this situation. ”
Gu Wang Ye shook his head: "Who is to blame you? Your task is to accompany your sister at home, and now your task is completed." ”
Gu Shizi also smiled.
Gu's mother suddenly asked solemnly, "Zizhong, I heard that your old friend Tang Xiannan also came to our house, where is she now?"
Gu Zizhong pointed out the door and said, "She was having lunch just now, and when I heard that you were back, I ran over directly and didn't pay attention to her." ”
Gu's mother pointed to her daughter and said, "You child, you don't distinguish between thick and thin." Anyway, you should think about other people, too. ”
Gu Zizhong felt guilty, let out a soft "oh", put his hands in front of him, and clenched each other, looking like a child.
Gu's mother looked at her daughter, and she also felt helpless, shook her head slightly, and took two sips of the teacup.
Gu Wang Ye and Mrs. Gu gasped for breath, and they both came back to their senses.
Gu Wangye looked at Gu's mother, the eyes of the two met halfway, and there seemed to be something, but they couldn't say anything, they could only look at each other.
Gu Zizhong always felt that he was being kept in the dark.
Although she was a little unconfident, she still asked tentatively: "Father and mother went to someone's house, did they just give gifts or something?
Gu Wangye was stunned.
Gu Mu solemnly smiled, sighed, and said, "You are still reluctant to ask." ”
Gu Shizi suddenly walked over, pulled up his sister and was about to pull her out.
Gu Zizhong became more and more worried, and said, "Brother, what are you dragging me for?"
Gu Shizi had no choice but to let go.
Gu Mu said: "Okay, since Zizhong wants to know, then it doesn't hurt for me to tell you." In fact, this time we went over to ask about the situation of the poisoner in the palace. ”
Haven't you figured out the situation of this matter?
Gu Zizhong's face was full of doubt.
Gu's mother looked at her daughter's expression and knew that she couldn't prevaricate by saying a few words, so she continued: "In fact, after this incident has passed, there are still some rumors in the palace that the emperor wants to ...... us The Gu family started. But the prince didn't know any news, and he didn't know. ”
Gu Wang Ye said: "The emperor still smiled when he saw me, or said a few words of gossip." But there are rumors in the palace that the Gu family has annoyed the emperor, and the Gu family is in danger. Your mother and I went to visit the Cabinet Ministers and inquire about the situation. ”
That sounds like a lot of sense.
The cabinet often participates in the affairs of the emperor and participates in the discussion of politics, which is a role of the cabinet.
If the emperor has anything on his mind, he will naturally discuss it with the cabinet members.
Gu Zi looked at her parents sighing, not like they were telling a lie.
Gu Zizhong said, "Oh, what did that person say?"
Gu Wangye waved his hand: "It's all gossip, it's just groundless." In the cabinet, the emperor only talked about the disaster situation in various places and the harvest situation in various places, and did not say anything about the palace at all. ”
And so it was!
Gu Zizhong has been thinking about it in his heart, do you understand the matter of poisoning?
It's time to understand, too.
There are too many people involved in this matter, and there are too many relationships involved.
It's better to make the big things small, and the small things small.
Gu Zizhong said: "That's good, that's good." ”
Gu's mother smiled and said, "At first, your father and I thought it was a big deal, who knows if it was just a false alarm." People still comfort us, and the gossip stops at the wise. This was not true, so it was passed on twice and no one passed it on again. ”
Oh!
In this way, Gu Zizhong was much more relieved.
Gu Zi smiled again, as bright as the sun behind the dark clouds.
Gu Zizhong said: "That's good, as long as it's okay at home." I'm still worried about my parents at home!"
