Chapter 251: Illness Arises
According to the practice of the imperial court, on the day of the 23rd day of the lunar month, everything in the court and the central government stopped. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 The official offices also began to give officials a holiday, and the holiday did not end until the first day of the Lantern Festival next year.
Of course, holidays are not a quiet day for officials. To greet the boss for the New Year, to walk around with colleagues and friends, banquets, drinks and socials are indispensable.
As soon as he was on vacation, Gu Hai went to Cui's mansion.
Gu Jinxing was worried about the result of this trip, and he was quite uneasy, and he frequently wandered all morning. It wasn't until the master reprimanded him with a straight face that Gu Jinxing forced himself to calm down and restrain his mind.
Mrs. Tai also thought about it in her heart, but she was quite a city government and did not reveal it.
Gu Wanning accompanied Mrs. Tai to gossip without saying a word.
Wu, who was sitting on the side, endured and endured, but in the end he still couldn't help it: "It's been half a day since the third brother went, why haven't you come back yet?"
Mrs. Tai frowned: "Look at you, I can't hold my breath for this little thing." The third child went to Cui's house to visit him today, and Cui Shilang had to leave him for lunch and come back. If you talk speculatively, it is inevitable that you will not come back until the evening. ”
Wu Huo Ran was cheerful.
Oh, yes!
If Gu Hai came back early, it would mean that the Cui family was angry and unwilling to marry again. If there is still room for turnaround, the Cui family will definitely keep Gu Hai from coming back.
Wu immediately smiled: "Yes, yes, it's that I'm too anxious." The third brother should come back in the evening. ”
Mrs. Tai: "......"
The corners of Mrs. Tai's mouth twitched, and she glanced at Gu Wanning, her eyes showing patience.
At this moment, the big butler Gu Song walked in.
……
In the mansion of the Hou Mansion, all the maids and maids are under the control of the Wu family.
The guards of the family are led by Gu Bai, the head of the family generals. Gu Song is specially responsible for dealing with various prefectures, and all the shop managers and grange managers under the name of the Hou Mansion are also in charge of Gu Song.
Gu Song has been the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion for 20 years, and he has a lot of face in front of Mrs. Tai, and he is also very prestigious among the people of the Hou Mansion. It is no exaggeration to say that Gu Song's words are much more effective than Wu's.
"The little one has seen Mrs. Tai. Gu Song saluted respectfully: "I've seen Mrs. Second Miss." ”
Mrs. Tai was also extremely gentle and tolerant to this loyal and capable butler: "Don't be polite, just speak flat!"
At the end of the year, Gu Song was also the busiest time. In the affairs outside the house, the Wu family just opened his mouth, and it was Gu Song who really ran errands. It is also thanks to Gu Song's shrewdness and ability to take care of everything in an orderly manner without any chaos.
"Mrs. Qiyu, the little one went to the Qi Palace's Mansion and the Prince's Mansion today to give New Year's gifts, and I heard that His Royal Highness the Taisun is sick. Gu Song subconsciously glanced up at Gu Wanning while making a report.
Gu Wanning's brows frowned slightly.
Knowing that her grandson would be sick like this, she was mentally prepared. But when this day really came, my heart was particularly unpleasant.
In her mind, a weak and pale face suddenly floated, and a pair of eyes that were dull from the pain.
There was a sudden sorrow in my heart.
Mrs. Tai also frowned: "Why did His Royal Highness Taisun suddenly get sick again?"
Not long ago, Taisun was sick once, and he was sick again. This body, it is too reluctant to describe it as healthy!
Wu was also muttering in his heart, saying that the grandson was weak and sickly, and it was true. In case the grandson is a short-lived ghost, Gu Wanning marrying into the prince's mansion may not be a good thing.
However, this kind of thought is just a thought in the heart, and it is absolutely impossible to say.
Gu Song replied: "Why His Royal Highness is sick, the little one is not clear. However, listening to the porter of the prince's mansion, the prince seems to be very sick this time. The crown princess had no intention of asking about the trivial matters in the house, and handed everything over to Concubine Yu to take care of. Only take care of the body of the grandson wholeheartedly. ”
Mrs. Tai's heart sank.
The prince is so beautiful and well-known.
It is no secret that the crown princess is not favored by the prince.
Fortunately, with the grandson, the position of the crown princess is safe. Although the prince favored the side concubine, he never treated the princess lightly. All the affairs in the prince's mansion have always been in charge of the crown princess.
Without the favor of her husband, a woman will undoubtedly take the right to the house more seriously and grasp it tighter. Now the crown princess can't even take care of these, and it can be inferred from this that the grandson is really sick.
Wu wanted to please Mrs. Tai, and hurriedly said, "I didn't know before. Now I know that His Royal Highness is sick, and I still have to prepare a generous gift to visit. ”
Although the Dingbei Hou Mansion and the Prince's Mansion are not close, there is still this affection.
What's more, the grandson has always been in love with Gu Guanning, if there is no accident, Gu Guanning is going to marry into the prince's mansion. Taisun's illness, Dingbei Hou Mansion can't help but express it.
Mrs. Tai immediately nodded: "Okay." You immediately have someone prepare, and I have two centennial ginseng sticks with me. ”
Giving two hundred-year-old ginseng as a gift for visiting the sick also looks better.
Wu Shi was busy.
As for the candidates for visiting the sick, we also have to consider one or two.
Gu Hai is not in the mansion today, and it is not appropriate for the Wu family to visit the grandson as a female dependent.
Mrs. Tai thought for a moment and said, "Let Brother Xing'er go back! Brother Xing'er is seventeen years old after the New Year, and at this age, it is time to learn to move around in foreign affairs." ”
Wu's spirits perked up, and he said with a smile: "Mother-in-law has thought it through, so I'll send someone to call Jin Xing over." ”
……
Gu Jinxing came soon.
Mrs. Tai said succinctly: "...... You will go to the Prince's Mansion in the afternoon to visit His Royal Highness. Your Highness is willing to see you, of course, it is best. If there are too many people visiting the patient to see you, you should wait an hour or two longer to show your sincerity. ”
"Thank you grandmother for your advice," Gu Jinxing arched his hand, "Grandson has written it down." ”
Filial piety and obedience are also a major advantage of Gu Jinxing.
Mrs. Tai's eyes showed satisfaction.
At this moment, Gu Wanning suddenly opened his mouth to speak: "Grandmother, I'll go with my eldest brother." ”
Mrs. Tai was stunned for a moment, and asked meaningfully, "Sister Ning, do you really want to visit the patient?"
Gu Jinxing represents the Dingbei Hou Mansion, and it is the proper duty to visit him.
Gu Wanning went to visit the patient, and the meaning was very different!
She herself should know that if she goes to the prince's mansion this time, she will only have one way to marry the grandson in the future.
Gu Jinxing and Wu obviously also guessed something, glanced at each other, and then looked at Gu Wanning together.
Gu Wanning raised his head and met Mrs. Tai's deep gaze: "Yes, I am going to the Prince's Mansion to visit His Royal Highness the Grand Sun." ”
"Have you thought about it?" asked Mrs. Tai lightly.
Gu Guanning snorted.
Mrs. Tai didn't say much, only nodded: "Okay, you can go with your brother in the afternoon!"
After that, Gu Wanning didn't say a word, and his brows kept frowning slightly.
