Chapter 739: Figuring Out (2)
Gu Guanning led a pair of children back to the house, and the Dingbei Hou Mansion heard the news, and the Zhenghe Hall quickly became lively.
There are too many people, and some words are inconvenient to speak.
Gu Wanning was not in a hurry, and accompanied everyone to gossip with a smile.
Mrs. Tai smiled and asked, "I came back this time, but how many days do I want to stay in the house?"
Gu Wanning nodded: "I plan to stay for three days and then go back." ”
When Mrs. Tai heard that she was going to stay for three days, she was quite comfortable and immediately sent someone to Luo's house to deliver the letter.
Yao Ruozhu was just three months pregnant, and when she heard that Gu Wanning was back, she was also full of joy. and his mother-in-law, and went back to the Hou Mansion. Anyway, it's next door, just a few steps away.
As soon as I entered the Zhenghe Hall, I heard the laughter of everyone. Yao Ruozhu was in a particularly happy mood and entered the inner hall with a smile.
Gu Wanning, who was sitting beside Mrs. Tai, turned his head, half-jokingly and half-jokingly: "It's good to marry closely." If you want to come back, you can lift your feet and arrive, and you don't miss lunch at all. ”
Everyone laughed together.
Yao Ruozhu's temperament was more lively than before he got married, and he smiled when he heard this: "Isn't it? As soon as I received the news, I hurried back." I'm afraid I'll miss lunch!"
Mrs. Tai smiled and beckoned to Yao Ruozhu: "Come and sit next to your aunt and grandmother, you are a person with a double body now, you have to be careful when you sit, stand, and lie down." Don't stand for long. ”
Mrs. Tai seems to be stern, but in fact she is the most generous and considerate.
Yao Ruozhu's heart warmed, and he answered, walked to Mrs. Tai and sat down.
Wu was seriously ill, described as emaciated, and people were silent and settled a lot. In the past, the younger generation sat on top of him, and he had to say a few sour words, but today he didn't say anything.
Fang's family has always been good-natured, and sat on the side with a smile, without any displeasure.
Gu Guanning glanced at Yao Ruozhu carefully.
Yao Ruozhu was originally slender, but now he has been raised, his eyes are soft and calm, and he has a slight smile on his lips. She was wearing a loose dress that slightly covered her bulging belly.
"You're good-looking. Gu Wanning smiled: "It seems that the past few months have been good." ”
Yao Ruozhu pursed her lips and smiled: "I see that your complexion is also very good." Originally, I was worried that you would be wronged and emaciated in Jingyun Nunnery, but now it seems that I am too worried. ”
Isn't it?
Gu Guanning's face was ruddy and energetic, not at all like being "banished from Beijing".
Mrs. Tai's eyes also looked over, and she smiled: "I'm worried about not eating well and sleeping well in the house." I didn't expect you to be chubby. ”
Gu Wanqi immediately rushed to interject: "Grandmother, my third sister and I went to live in the mountains for half a month. The second sister eats and sleeps well every day, and she is very leisurely. ”
Everyone talked and laughed, quite lively.
At noon, two tables of family banquets were set up in the house, one for men and one for women. It's all a family, and there is no need to put any screens, just sitting next to each other, which is very lively.
Mrs. Tai was in a very good mood and drank a few glasses of fruit wine.
Gu Wanning saw that her grandmother was in a good mood and was in a very happy mood, so she drank several glasses of fruit wine in a row. Or Mrs. Tai stopped her in disgust: "If you are drunk, what should Gillian and Ah Yi do?"
Gu Wanning had to obediently put down the wine glass.
……
After the luncheon, Yao Ruozhu returned to Luo's house, and Gu Wanning accompanied Mrs. Tai into the inner room. The grandparents and grandchildren finally had time to be alone, and they could also say something private.
"Yesterday, the third child returned to the house and talked about the fact that everyone in the court asked for Concubine Sun Xian to be the latter. He also said that the emperor was quite angry about this matter. No matter how unwise the prince is, he shouldn't be so impatient. Mrs. Tai frowned and asked, "What the hell is going on with this?"
Gu Wanning didn't hide it, and said calmly: "This matter was done secretly by His Highness. ”
Mrs. Tai was so shrewd and wise, she immediately heard that something was wrong, and her brows furrowed more and more: "In this way, isn't there a gap between their father and son?"
It's not just a gap in the heart. The illusion of father-son harmony that could barely be maintained has also reached the point of precariousness.
Gu Guanning replied lightly: "Sooner or later, there will be this day, grandmother doesn't have to worry." ”
In just one sentence, Mrs. Tai's heart was shocked: "Sister Ning, what are you going to do with Your Highness?"
Gu Wanning glanced at Mrs. Tai deeply: "Grandmother, I have already thoroughly figured out the matter of passing through Jingyun Nunnery. In this world, no one can be relied on all the time. Only by standing above 10,000 people can we truly control our own destiny. ”
"Your Highness and I have made up our minds. Our destiny will never be decided by anyone!"
The meaning of killing revealed between the lines is as sharp as a blade.
Mrs. Tai's temples jumped a few times, and her face was almost bloodless.
Gu Wanning didn't say anything more, only held Mrs. Tai's hand.
Mrs. Tai's hands are slightly larger than ordinary women's hands, wide, strong and warm. This hand, which once held her hand gently and carefully, accompanied her all the way to adulthood.
Now, the skin on the back of this hand is loose and full of wrinkles, and the palm of the hand is slightly cold, and it has lost its former temperature.
Grandmother, now I'm holding your hand.
……
I don't know how long it took for Mrs. Tai to gradually calm down.
"Sister Ning," Mrs. Tai shouted softly.
Gu Wanning raised his eyes and looked over.
Mrs. Tai took a deep breath before she said, "What you said today is only known to you and me, and you must not let a third person know." Even if it's your third uncle, you can't reveal half a word. ”
When it comes to the last sentence, the tone is very harsh.
Gu Wanning was not frightened, a smile appeared in his eyes, and he responded softly.
Mrs. Tai said: "The Gu family is a loyal minister and a good general, since the founding of the Great Qin Dynasty, the Gu family has guarded the border passes, defended the country, fought bloody battles, and guarded the safety of the people of the Great Qin River. In the battle for the throne in the palace, the Gu family will never interfere. And so it will be in the future, and you will write it down. ”
Gu Guanning smiled, and said with a straight face: "I understand what my grandmother said. ”
Mrs. Tai sighed and said in a low voice, "You have to take care!"
"Grandmother, rest assured, we will plan carefully, slowly, and will not rush forward. ”
Gu Wanning said in a low voice: "There is one thing I also want to tell my grandmother." The eldest uncle is now guarding the border and always leading the troops to fight. When he left Beijing that day, he brought a military doctor with him. However, the medical skills of the military doctors are not particularly sophisticated. For the sake of the safety of the eldest uncle, my grandmother should spend a lot of money to invite two famous doctors to the border!"
Now the holy family of Dingbei Houfu is far less than before, but the status is still as stable as Mount Tai. Most of it was because Gu Song led the troops at the border pass, Gu Song stayed at the border pass for a day, and the Gu family was stable for a day.
Mrs. Tai responded without thinking: "What you reminded was." I'll call the third uncle over later, and I'll leave this matter to him to arrange. ”
Gu Hai acted shrewdly and carefully, and it was safest for him to handle this matter.
Gu Wanning smiled and nodded.
