She turned around and went to her room.

The work at home was done in less than the evening.

Her mother also came to her in advance and said with a smile: "Zizhong, Zhu Shizi has sent a gift again." Guess what?"

Gu Zizhong felt that these dowry gifts were enough, why did he have to send them again?

She shook her head, a little reluctant: "Mother, you tell people, don't let people send it anymore." These things that were sent today ......"

It's not good to return it, since they sent it, just accept it.

She waved her hand, very upset: "Just keep it." ”

Gu's mother stared at her daughter with a smile, holding her hands in front of her, her eyes unmoving, staring at her daughter non-stop.

Gu Zizhong felt uncomfortable, and he couldn't speak confidently: "Mother, what are you looking at me for?"

Gu's mother had a slightly mocking tone: "Yo, this person hasn't married yet, and you started to turn your elbow out?"

What does this mean?

Gu Zizhong was so anxious that her legs moved: "Mother, what do you mean by this?"

Gu's mother smiled helplessly: "Mother knows, you are here to save money for the Zhu family." But after all, it is the son of their family who wants to marry the county lord of my family, and it is appropriate to spend some money. ”

Gu Zi pouted heavily: "Where is spending some money, this money has been spent so much, and people's families are about to be emptied." ”

Gu's mother sighed, and sighed deliberately in frustration: "The water spilled by the daughter who got married." His family is short of money, and our family is also short of money. The silver given by the imperial court is not enough for our family's expenses. ”

"How come?" Gu Zizhong was very serious, his brows furrowed, "With such a big mansion as ours, will we be short of money to buy rice and noodles?"

Gu's mother stared at her daughter for a long time.

Gu Zizhong stopped talking.

She was so emotional that she didn't even think about it.

Only now did she realize that this was what her mother said on purpose.

So she began to feel ashamed of herself, lowered her head and did not speak.

Gu Mu said: "Okay, mother, can I open my mouth?"

Gu Zizhong still didn't give up: "Mother, our family tradition is courtesy......

Gu Mu interrupted her: "Then you still need to say it?"

Gu Zi pursed his lips again and said no more.

Gu's mother was helpless, pointed to her daughter's nose and said, "You haven't married yet, so you just talk about your mother's family." Alas, this was sent by someone, and it was not what our family insisted on. You, protect your future husband, my mother has no objection. But don't forget, the Gu family is the home where you grew up. ”

Gu Zizhong no longer refutated, and gently admitted, "I know, mother." ”

After Gu's mother was serious, she suddenly snorted, like a sunny day after a dark cloud: "Okay, my mother deliberately wanted to hook you." Zhu Shizi sent some happy cakes this time, and they were eaten by our family, so as to celebrate. ”

Oh!

Gu Zi's heart was also put down, and he clapped his hands and said, "It's so good." ”

Gu's mother stared at her daughter, looked at her smiling appearance, and then smiled even more happily: "Don't you feel sorry for your husband?"

Gu Zizhong said coquettishly: "Just say it once." Besides, what does it have to do with whether I care about Zhu Shizi or not? I still know that my surname is Gu and not my surname is Zhu. ”

Gu's mother said with a little sarcasm: "I'm afraid it won't be like this in the future." ”

She no longer has a serious relationship with her mother.

In her previous life, since she entered the palace, there were very few days when she went home.

At that time, his parents died of illness, and his brother was also unknown, and he did not have a career at all.

Gu Zizhong really forgot his surname Gu.

She only knew that if she didn't use skills in the palace and didn't take precautions at any time, she was likely to die in Huangquan.

So evoking the memories of her previous life, she also understood her mother's words.

Now she may be able to swear that Gu Mansion is her home.

But what about five years from now? Ten years from now?

At that time, my brother was also going to be the prince of the Gu family and the leader of the Gu family.

As a younger sister, she must always think about her brother, think about her brother's kindness to her, and think about her brother's interests.

So at this time, she switched from passively agreeing casually to nodding very actively.

Walking over a few steps and hugging his mother's waist, Gu Zizhong said squeamishly: "Our Gu family will not suffer, don't worry, mother, there is me." ”

Gu Muquan didn't refuse when her daughter was telling a joke, just nodded lightly.

Gu Zizhong said seriously: "I'm serious, mother, don't believe it." Maybe I can't see it now, but in a few years, maybe ten years from now, maybe not necessarily. I'm not the kind of girl who just wants to be comfortable. ”

Gu's mother nodded with satisfaction, she also saw that her daughter was different from other people's children.

After all, Gu Zizhong was a woman who survived the great changes in the palace in her previous life.

To put it bluntly, for the sake of power, for the sake of making a living, what has she not done?

She patted her mother on the shoulder and said, "Let's go, let's go over and have a look." ”

Gu's mother turned around: "Zhu Shizi also came in person." ”

"What?" Gu Zi shouted loudly, "Then why didn't he come to me?"

Gu's mother didn't answer.

She couldn't help but wonder in her heart, wouldn't it be because of Wu Yicheng?

Hasn't Zhu Shizi been relieved yet?

She let go of her hands and prepared to go over on her own.

Gu Mu called, "Zizhong, where are you going?"

Gu Zizhong hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Let's go, mother, let's go over and have a look." ”

Inside and outside the hall, there were people standing.

Gu Zizhong and his mother squeezed in from the crowd.

In the hall, Gu Wang Ye was discussing with Zhu Wang Ye with tea.

Not far away, she saw that the smiles on the faces of her father and Zhu Wangye became stronger and stronger.

It seems that these two people are quite speculative.

She and her mother came over.

Zhu Shizi on the side was also chatting with Gu Shizi, chatting happily, and he didn't notice Gu Zizhong.

Gu's mother went over and sat next to the master.

When Zhu Wangye saw Mrs. Gu, he naturally noticed Gu Zizhong as well.

Zhu Wangye took the initiative to greet Gu Zizhong.

Gu Zizhong responded casually, with a casual smile, but this simple answer was somewhat inappropriate.

She didn't go to chat with Zhu Wangye again.

Zhu Wangye didn't take it to heart, turned around and continued to talk and laugh with Gu Wangye and Mrs. Gu.

It's just that Gu Zizhong sat beside Zhu Shizi alone, and he had a feeling of being left out.

Gu Shizi saw his sister, but he didn't react immediately, and continued.

Gu Zizhong listened to the words of the two of them, as if he was talking about things in the palace.

Inside and outside the palace, Jinyiwei and the people from Dongchang, and then there is the Criminal Department of the Military Department......

The two of them also talked about a lot of people.

It's as if they all know each other.

Gu Zizhong's heart couldn't help but tighten.

Because she saw Wu Yicheng standing in the crowd, staring at Zhu Shizi and her brother.

It's just that Wu Yicheng didn't enter the hall.
