Chapter 708: Presiding over the housework
Zhu Wangye handed over all the affairs of the family to Gu Zizhong, and specially explained: "The nurse is old, just enjoy her old age." Leave the affairs of the family to the young lady. ”
People say that the prosperity of the family is a symbol of wealth.
But there was no way, Zhu Wangye's original partner died of illness shortly after giving birth to Zhu Changxi.
Zhu Changxi's nurse also gave birth to several children for the master, but they were all daughters.
Zhu Wangye gradually lost his confidence, feeling that this was fate, and God let him give birth to a son like Zhu Changxi.
Therefore, Prince Zhu loves his son even more, and Gu Zizhong, as the only young lady of the Zhu family, naturally attracts much attention.
Gu Zizhong later heard that his father-in-law still had a few concubines, but they were not in Jinling.
Zhu Wangye placed them in his hometown, because he was afraid that the wives in the family would have any problems and affect Zhu Changxi's growth.
However, Zhu Wangye still loves his wives very much.
Gu Zizhong knew about it, and asked the housekeeper to take out some silver from the account room, divide it, and send it to the old lady in the countryside.
Those concubines are now all old men, at least forty years old.
None of them had any children in the Zhu family.
It's quite uncomfortable for a woman.
Gu Zizhong also specially instructed: "Do we have any idle fields at home? There must be a male in their mother's family, and they need land to farm and harvest grain. ”
This decision reached the ears of Zhu Wangye, and Zhu Wangye was very surprised, Zizhong was so young that he could have such a mind, and he was a material for doing great things.
Zhu Wangye has already handed over all the affairs of the family to Gu Zizhong, so naturally he will not take care of it.
Gu Zizhong arranged several old ladies, collected some fields for the family, and hired some people from Shantang to farm.
Spring has already begun, and the people have begun to sow seeds.
Gu Zizhong specially went out to arrange the sowing of seeds, and gave those people some silver taels and asked them to buy more sowing tools.
The south is not as good as the north, all of which are planted with rice, and some sowing methods and tools are different.
In his previous life, Gu Zizhong was also busy with these things in the capital.
But this life is different from the previous life.
The same thing is that she is busy every day.
Gradually, three months passed, and in the summer, the grain was planted well.
Qing'er is also getting bigger and bigger.
When Gu Zizhong wrote a letter to Brother Zishan, Qing'er would stare at the sidelines, watch, and sometimes think about pointing fingers.
Gu Zizhong held Qing'er's hand and wrote on the letter, "Father, Qing'er misses you." ”
Qing'er turned around and stared at Gu Zi with a curious look.
Gu Zizhong put his head on his head and said, "When you grow up a little more, my mother will let you write your own letters, how about it?"
Qing'er followed the "huh", still bouncing around in Gu Zizhong's arms, looking elated.
Gu Zizhong was even happier, and everyone said that the child would be able to walk on the ground when he was about one year old.
Gu Zizhong was looking forward to Qing'er walking on the ground.
Li Nanyu's child, Baoyu, can now walk on his own.
is also a mother, Gu Zizhong is looking forward to it.
When she didn't, she squatted on the ground and put Qing'er on the ground.
Qing'er's legs were jumping around, and sometimes her legs were in the air, and her body suddenly lost her sense of balance.
Gu Zizhong had a headache and wanted to let go of his hands, but he was afraid that Qing'er would fall.
When she hesitated, Aunt Cui advised her: "As a mother, you have to be ruthless." You've been holding him, when will he be able to walk on his own?"
Gu Zizhong usually believed this sentence, but when it was really time for him to become a mother, he was really unwilling.
She was distressed.
Qing'er's legs are always in the air on the ground.
Feng Ming sent them a letter from Xi'an, which was written by Zhu Changxi to Gu Zizhong.
Gu Zi took it apart and received good news from Brother Zishan.
From the southwest, they are about to come back, and Zhu Changxi and the others have a good conversation with King Kang Mian.
King Kang Mian agreed to return the military power to the imperial court.
This is indeed good news.
Brother Zishan will be able to come back soon.
It was indeed tiring enough to let Gu Zizhong work at home alone for the past two days.
She also asked: "Did the messenger say when Brother Zishan will come back?"
Feng Ming shook his head: "This person didn't say it, they left after sending the letter, and they didn't even drink saliva." ”
So anxious?
Gu Zizhong was in a hurry, for fear that something would happen to Brother Zishan in Xi'an.
She thought, pondering, her face a little ugly.
She told Aunt Cui what she was thinking.
As a bystander, Aunt Cui said: "It's nothing, a woman will be like this." It's just a matter of overthinking. After all, King Kang Mian has already handed over all the military power to the imperial court, and King Kang Mian has no requirements at all. So isn't the whole territory of our Daming Dynasty peaceful, what else can happen?"
The more Aunt Cui said this, the more anxious Gu Zizhong became.
While waiting at home, Gu Zizhong also went to ask the governor.
The governor said that when the judge Sun left here, it had already shown that the contradiction between the imperial court and King Kang was poor.
Now that the issue of military power has been resolved, and Lord Sun is coming back.
Gu Zizhong listened to some of the governor's words, and went to chat with the Wang family again.
Later, Brother Zishan kept writing to her.
She was very happy and held the letter to Qing'er.
In the past two days, Qing'er will be able to walk.
In the summer, it's always hot outside, and even the bandits who have been running around outside have retreated back into the mountains.
In the past two days, the people of Shantang have started to do some ice cube business, and they have specially sent some to the Zhu family and the Gu family.
Gu Zi went to get to know Li Nanyu and Sister-in-law Li.
My brother is also very good in the cabinet, and he has a good relationship with those cabinet elders.
Li Nanyu specially mentioned the emperor's recent situation: "The holy dragon is not in good health, and the queen mother washes her face with tears all day long. It is rumored that the emperor has not presided over the affairs of the court for a long time. ”
Gu Zizhong reacted, and his face was full of confusion: "Brother Zishan, who did it when they sent them to the southwest? A few big men were turned around, not to mention the safety along the way, and the body alone couldn't stand the pain of running. ”
Li Nanyu was also very uncomfortable, and persuaded the county lord Gu: "This negotiation with King Kang Mian is the emperor's personal will. The emperor's body is no longer good, and the imperial court has begun to select from the direct descendants of the surname Zhu, ready to choose a virtuous and capable person to inherit the throne. The emperor has never done anything big in his life, so he always wants to do something. This negotiation is very important to the imperial court, so we can only let it go. ”
Really.
Gu Zizhong's face was full of displeasure.
And Li Nanyu also emphasized: "Zhu Lequan, the king of the Liangguang Domain, is also in the imperial court." ”
