Chapter 285: Back to Suzhou
Gu Juan told Zhang's mother about leaving, and asked Zhang's mother to choose whether to follow them or stay here, if she stayed here, this small courtyard would be given to her. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Zhang's mother thought for a while, and then decided to follow Gu Juan, she is a childless and daughterless person, even if she has more money, she feels empty, it is better to follow Gu Juan, she finally has half a relative.
Zhang's mother followed Gu Juan, and Gu Juan was naturally very happy, so she simply began to pack her things.
But this Xiuzhu is a little reluctant, she likes the place of Yingtianfu very much, and she really doesn't understand why she moved away when she said she would move away.
Gu Juan was a little amused for a while, and then said to Xiuzhu: "The place we are going to is more beautiful than Ying Tianfu, there are rivers everywhere, and it is the most authentic Jiangnan water town." ”
When Xiuzhu heard this, she was naturally very happy.
Since Xia Shi still had some things to deal with in Ying Tianfu, Gu Juan and his party left first.
At this time, it was a spring day with a gentle breeze, and the group took a boat along the Yangtze River all the way to the south, which made Xiuzhu, who had never been on a boat, excited.
As soon as the little guy Ruduan woke up, Gu Juan took the little guy to the deck for a walk, but before he could stay long, the little guy was hungry, and Gu Juan had to bring people back. Let Zhang's mother take it down to feed, Xiuzhu stood on the bed, curious about the scenery on both sides of the Yangtze River, the scenery on both sides of the Yangtze River is beautiful, and the customs are completely different from the northwest, this Xiuzhu is like a hundred thousand whys, asking questions along the way makes Gu Juan a little unbearable.
Just when Gu Juan was a little overwhelmed, a very familiar figure walked not far away, Gu Juan looked at it and found that it was Li Shizhen.
Li Shizhen was followed by a beautiful lady, who was Yulan.
This is a bit of a coincidence, Gu Juan stepped forward and said, "Shi Zhen, Yulan didn't expect to meet you here, what a coincidence?"
Li Shizhen smiled and said, "It's not a coincidence. ”
It turned out that this Pan Lao also invited this Li Shizhen to Pan's house to see a person.
In the evening, several people had dinner together, and Gu Xuan's sharp eyes naturally saw Yulan's belly bulging slightly, as if she was pregnant, and immediately quipped: "Shi Zhen is really blessed." ”
Li Shizhen smiled embarrassedly, and said: "Yulan is pregnant, naturally she can't run around with me, naturally she wants a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to have a good life and recuperate, and I am optimistic that this Shaoxing is a good place, so I simply agreed to Pan Lao and went to Shaoxing." ”
Gu Juan smiled, a little stunned in his heart, if Wang Kai had even the slightest concession from Li Shizhen, Gu Juan would not have been so difficult at this time.
Because Li Shizhen was in a hurry to see a doctor, the weaving machine left by boat after arriving in Suzhou, but Gu Juan seemed to stay in Suzhou for a few days, consciously wanting to meet Sun and Li Fengfeng, and secondly, he also wanted to take Ru Duan to see his original home.
Gu Juan specially took Ru Duan to visit the Sun family, this Sun family looks much older than before, maybe this prefect's wife is really not easy to do, but after the Sun family saw Gu Juan, he was extremely happy, and personally cooked a few meat dishes, which was already commendable for this extremely thrifty prefect's wife, and Gu Juan's heart was naturally very moved.
This Sun said to Gu Juan with three points of wine: "If I can do it again, I will never marry him again, you may not believe it, until now, I haven't even collected my daughter's dowry, and the official ladies of other families are generous, and my family, because they are too poor, has never participated in any banquets, so they cower all day long, and they don't even have a decent dress, if I still marry a poor family in the future, what should I do?"
The Sun family is really hard, there is a family behind Li Fengfeng to support, and this is still a clean official, so Yu Lu is often overstretched, which has become more and more obvious in recent years.
After listening to Sun's words, Gu Juan naturally sighed in his heart.
This Sun said to Gu Juan again: "After you left, Lord Wang wrote several letters, all asking about your whereabouts, there is something between husband and wife that cannot be passed, my family is already like this, but I am still guarding him, even if it is hard, I am willing, sister, you are so young don't live up to your youth in vain." ”
Gu Juan smiled and said to Sun, "Thank you sister for reminding me, I'm awake." ”
Gu Juan said some words to this one again, and left a very valuable calligraphy and painting before leaving, saying that it was a gift to the prefect.
This calligraphy and painting was given to Gu Juan by Riwang Ji some time ago, saying that it was a gift for the full moon banquet for Ruduan, and Gu Juan accepted it.
If you give this money directly, I'm afraid that Sun and Li Fengfeng will not feel good in their hearts, but Gu Juan can also see that the two of them are indeed in financial difficulties this time, Gu Juan doesn't want such a good official to end up living in poverty because of his integrity, after all, there are too few good officials like the Ming Dynasty, and if you can help one, you naturally have to help.
In the next few days, Gu Juan took a group of people to Suzhou to go around, and when he passed by Hangzhou, he played in Hangzhou for a few days, but Xiuzhu was so happy on the way that he kept shouting that he was looking for a son in Jiangnan and stayed in Jiangnan forever.
When Xiuzhu said this, Gu Juan looked at the amazingly beautiful scenery of Hangzhou's West Lake, and softly echoed: "Jiangnan is a good place. ”
It took a lot of time for a few people to stop and go like this, and it had been about a month since they arrived in Shaoxing.
Shaoxing Wharf, naturally someone picked it up, only to see that the person at the head was a handsome young man, this young man dressed as a scholar, but there was a noble son's temperament, Gu Juan only felt that this child was familiar, but after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't think of a reason.
This young man walked up to Gu Juan very affectionately and called his aunt very affectionately.
Gu Juan was stunned for a moment, and then said, "You are Pan Xiaosi?"
The young man nodded, six years have passed, Pan Xiaosi has grown into a teenager, but I have to make people feel that the years are like a shuttle.
This Pan Xiaosi said to Gu Juan: "Auntie, my official name is Pan Mingrun. ”
"A gentleman is clear by nature, gentle as jade, and not bad. ”
"Thank you, aunt, aunt has worked hard all the way, and first come with me to the house to rest for a good life, and my grandfather is waiting for my aunt at home. ”
"Good. Gu Juan and his party stepped off the boat, and Pan Xiaosi continued: "Auntie doesn't know, grandfather has been talking about my aunt all these years, but he has never had the opportunity to see him, so don't leave this time when he comes to Shaoxing." ”
Gu Juan smiled and secretly said that this little guy is really good at talking.
