Chapter 647: Letter from Home
The crown prince has been away from Beijing for a few days, and every day a report from the palace will be sent to the palace. It was the first time to send a letter to the prince's mansion.
The crown princess was slightly surprised, and there was nothing flattering or surprised.
Gu Wanning got up with a smile: "My father sent a letter to my mother, and my daughter-in-law didn't bother me and retired first." ”
The crown princess smiled: "Since it is a family letter, it doesn't hurt for you to pass by, where you need to avoid it." I haven't seen Gillian and Ah Yi for many days, so you will take their sisters and brothers to stay in Xuemei Courtyard today. ”
The crown princess insisted so much, Gu Wanning was inconvenient to go again, and responded with a smile.
Soon, the maid brought in the guards who were delivering the letters.
When the guards entered the house, they did not dare to look up, but knelt down honestly and saluted, and then presented the prince's letter.
The crown princess didn't rush to read the letter, and opened her mouth to ask, "Where is Your Highness now?"
"Back to Niangniang's words, His Royal Highness has arrived in Jizhou. Ping Xibo's father and son led 50,000 elite soldiers to guard His Highness's side, His Royal Highness is safe, and please rest assured. ”
The crown prince is the prince of Great Qin, and he goes out on patrol on behalf of the Son of Heaven, so naturally he can't be negligent. Ping Xibo led 50,000 elite soldiers to accompany him, and he wanted to protect the prince all the way. Even if it is a bandit, there will be enough soldiers to guard the prince's side to keep the prince safe.
The crown princess hummed and asked a few more questions before letting the guards retreat and rest.
Gu Wanning ordered the nurse to carry the two children to play under the eaves, and the room was finally cleaner.
The crown princess opened the letter and read it hurriedly.
As expected, the whole article is official, and there is no private talk of half a husband and wife.
The crown princess didn't feel disappointed, she only pouted invisibly, and then said to Gu Guanning: "Your father said that this trip went smoothly, but the situation in Jizhou is quite unstable. I'm afraid I'll have to stay longer. ”
Gu Wanning's eyes flashed slightly, and he hummed casually.
……
In the following two months, the prince sent several letters back home intermittently.
In fact, Gu Wanning knows the prince's movements in Jizhou better than the crown princess.
The grandson had already placed eyeliner next to the prince, and the prince knew every move. Whenever he received news, Taisun would order someone to send the news to Gu Guanning as soon as possible.
The civil unrest in Jizhou was even more serious than previously expected.
Almost all the officials in Jizhou, big and small, were killed. Ten households and nine empty people. Either they voted for the rebels, or they fled to other places.
The prince just wanted to appease the people, but he couldn't find a few to appease. The top priority at the moment is to first pacify the people and bandits who have fallen into the grass and are the kings of Kou Zhanshan.
The imperial army had sufficient food and grass, was well-equipped, and its strength was several times that of the people and bandits.
However, Jizhou has many mountains and complex terrain, and the people and bandits have taken advantage of the geographical advantage and cannot shrink out. I couldn't find out where their nest was.
The situation is stalemate, and the stalemate is deadlocked.
The prince knows how to take advantage of this great opportunity to add glory to himself. often led thousands of elite soldiers around the streets and alleys of Jizhou, patrolling and pacifying the people...... Of course, the prince hid in a carriage with three layers of steel plates and was impermeable, and he had no worries about his life.
However, this kind of behavior is enough to give the prince a good reputation of worrying about the country and the people.
For a time, the courtiers praised the prince's behavior, and the prince became a model for the praise of the court.
As for the officials offering beauty along the way, or the prince "encountering and rescuing" the lonely and helpless girls of the people, it is natural that the past is ignored.
Even the crown princess was accustomed to this, and even said to Gu Wanning: "With your father's temperament, you have to bring back at least three or four beauties when you return to Beijing." ”
Even the crown princess didn't mind, and Gu Wanning didn't bother to pay attention to the matter of the crown prince Namei. The prince also secretly ordered that the dark line around the prince did not have to return to the prince's affairs.
At this time, Gu Guanning didn't expect that this small negligence would lead to endless troubles.
These are all later words, so I won't mention them for the time being.
……
Cui Junyao gave birth to a son in the hot June day.
Mrs. Tai ordered her confidant Ziyan to come to report the good news.
“…… The young grandmother gave birth to a young man for a full night, and only gave birth to a little boy in the early hours of the morning. Zi Yan's face was full of joy: "The little boy weighed eight pounds after he was born, he was born white and cute, and his crying was particularly loud. Mrs. Tai was very happy in her heart, and specially sent slaves and maids to report the good news to the princess. ”
When Gu Wanning heard the good news, he was also very happy, and immediately smiled and said, "If you go back to your grandmother, you will say that I will go back early for the three baptisms." ”
Zi Yan smiled and took the order, and retired and left.
After the crown princess knew about this, she smiled and told Gu Wanning: "This is the first great-grandson of the Gu family, and the three baptism rites must be prepared more heavily." ”
Mrs. Tai lifted the long house everywhere, obviously wanting the long house to inherit the family business. Gu Jinxing's eldest son naturally has a different status.
"That's what the concubine said. Gu Guanning smiled and said, "I've already prepared everything." ”
The crown princess said again: "You can leave both Gillian and Yi's sister and brother, and it will be easier for you to go back to your parents' house alone." ”
Gu Guanning nodded.
The next day, Gu Wanning left a pair of naughty bags in the house and returned to the house alone.
The female relatives who came to the Dingbei Hou Mansion to congratulate were like crossing the river, and the Wu Fang family was so busy that their feet did not touch the ground.
Especially the Wu family, who was happy with his grandson, was beaming with joy. The previous dissatisfaction and resentment against his daughter-in-law were thrown out of the clouds. Holding the hand of Mrs. Cui, the mother of the family, he smiled and said, "The Cui family is really blessed, and he got a son in one fell swoop." ”
Mrs. Cui responded with a few words with a smile, but she was extremely unhappy with the Wu family in her heart.
This Wu family, one set on the face and one set behind the back. The mouth is good, I haven't done a good thing, and I find fault all day long. was so angry that Cui Junyao moved the tire......
If it weren't for Mrs. Tai and the Hou Mansion, where would she be willing to marry her baby daughter who had been pampered for many years to the Gu family's house?
Fortunately, his son-in-law Gu Jinxing is studious and progressive, and he treats his daughter very well. Now that her daughter has given birth to a son-in-law, she can be regarded as having a firm foothold.
At this time, Gu Wanning was sitting on the edge of Cui Junyao's bed.
A woman who has just given birth is always extremely weak.
The fetus in Cui Junyao's womb is too big, and she has suffered enough. He lay on the bed for three days and two nights, and at this time his face was still pale and he was weak to speak.
"Sister-in-law, you have suffered a lot and lost your body, so you have to take care of it in the future. Gu Wanning looked at Cui Junyao, with a trace of pity in his eyes.
Cui Junyao smiled weakly: "Whoever I lose, I won't treat myself badly, you can rest assured!"
This is the real famous lady.
Born in a noble background, he was carefully raised since he was a child, self-respecting, self-reliant, arrogant and strong. will never pin all his joys, sorrows, and sorrows on his husband.
A smile flashed in Gu Wanning's eyes, and he didn't say anything more, but said with a smile: "What about my little nephew, hurry up and let the nurse bring the child over for me to see." ”
