Chapter 010: Dark Gap

"How could the master be in Prince An's Mansion?"

The family had a lively dinner, and sat together to eat tea, and the Qinghe County Lord saw that it was not early, so he sent Qi Jinzhi and his wife back to rest. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

In the early winter, when night fell, the once flowery courtyard became a little depressed, Gu Jialuo held the hand stove and chatted with Qi Jinzhi in a whisper.

Qi Jinzhi was not surprised that Gu Jialuo would ask this, just now during the banquet, Qi Huizhi's voice was so loud, he would not be able to hear it if he was deaf.

"I was about to tell you about this, but I forgot about it in a moment's time,"

Qi Jinzhi looked ahead, and while walking slowly, he said: "Half a month ago, the Queen Mother occasionally felt unwell, as if she had a cold. Originally, it was just a very ordinary illness, but I didn't want the queen mother's body to be well, and the soup was constantly taking medicine all day long, and the saint and the queen naturally had to be around. In this way, the master is a little overwhelmed—"

There are many nobles in the palace, but there are only a few who can be counted. Fortunately on weekdays, three 'serious illness numbers' were suddenly added this time. Whether it is the Queen Mother, Master Miaozhen, or Concubine Liu Xian, they are not inconsequential little people, and the queen, as the master of the harem, must take care of them.

But there is only one queen, and she lacks skills and can't do everything at all.

The same is true of saints. Although according to his heart, he cares more about his aunt sister, but the Queen Mother is his biological mother in the end, no matter how many gaps and feuds there are between mother and son, at least face work still has to be done.

But the sage knows better that if he and the queen both go to Cining Palace, there will inevitably be people on Ah Yan's side who are slacking off, not because the people below see the wind and steer, but because the resources are limited. There are not many top chefs in the palace who know how to eat medicinal diets and are familiar with the way of health preservation, the Queen Mother VS Xiao Wei, Xiao Wei will definitely suffer a little grievance.

The saint didn't want to wronged Xiao Yu.

Originally, the sage intended to send Xiao Yu back to Jingyue Nunnery, after all, it was Xiao Yu's territory, and all the slaves and maids, medicinal materials and everything were very complete.

But the eldest prince and a few other juniors who came to serve the sick said that although Jingyue Nunnery was good, it was outside Beijing, and if there was a mistake, it would be too late for the palace to support.

Prince An's son, Xiao Xuan, entered the palace at this time, and earnestly begged the saint to allow him to take Xiao Yu back to Prince An's mansion to recuperate.

No matter what kind of conflict Xiao Yu has with her parents and brothers, in the eyes of the world, she has always been the daughter of Prince An's mansion, and now she is still in the high hall and has all her brothers, she is a childless and daughterless 'widow', it is best to go back to her parents' house.

The sage thought about it and felt that it was not bad to let Xiao Yu go to the palace to recuperate. In order to thank or show kindness, he gave Prince An a large number of mansions around the old site of Prince An's Mansion to Prince An, and specially appointed the Ministry of Internal Affairs to allocate funds and supervise the construction of the Ministry of Industry, and repaired Prince An's Mansion beautifully.

Subsequently, whenever the saint received any good things or capable people, he would choose a part and give it to Prince An's mansion.

After more than ten or twenty years of accumulation, Prince An's Mansion is second only to the palace in terms of residence, people in the door and various supplies.

The saint was a little moved, Xiao Xuan behaved extremely sincerely, and moved the elderly Prince An out, saying that his father was worried about Ah Yu and hoped to see Ah Yu come home in his lifetime.

Xiao Xuan mentioned Prince An, and faintly mentioned the old case more than ten years ago in his words, the sage didn't say anything, and after thinking about it again, he agreed to Xiao Xuan's request.

"The Queen Mother is sick? Such a coincidence? Gugaro's tone was full of mockery.

It's not a 'coincidence', not long after Miaozhen returned to the palace, the Queen Mother and her old man were 'sick', a small wind chill, and she dragged on for more than half a month.

A moment ago, she was still sick and crookedly leaning on the bed half dead, and after hearing the news that 'Prince An's son took the eldest princess back to the palace to recuperate', the Queen Mother actually 'struggled' to get up. When she drank the medicine again, she didn't vomit, and when she had dinner at night, she actually drank a big bowl of japonica rice porridge and several exquisite side dishes.

By the next day, the Queen Mother's condition began to improve.

After Miaozhen completely settled in Prince An's mansion, the queen mother's phoenix body was also restored to its original state!

What a 'coincidence', the Queen Mother's obvious action is seen by everyone in Beijing with eyes - the rumors are true, the Queen Mother loves Miaozhen on the surface, but she doesn't like this cheap eldest princess much in her heart. It can even be called an abomination.

Think about it, the queen mother is obviously today's biological mother, and she is also the mother of the main palace who is married by the first emperor Ming Media, but in the palace, the queen mother has been living in the shadow of Mu Guifei for the first half of her life, and it is easy to wait for her son to ascend the throne in the second half of her life, but she was robbed of all the scenery by a Xiao Yu.

The Queen Mother is aggrieved.

is now her son, but she can't easily get her wish if she wants to find a future for her mother's son and nephew.

On the other hand, when Xiao Wei was still a princess, she often recommended talents and interfered in government affairs, but the hateful saint was an eccentric, and he believed everything Xiao Wei said.

Even if she left home and Xiao Yu became 'Miaozhen', her status in the palace and even the capital has never wavered.

Many noble ladies used to chat in private, thinking that the master's signboard was better than the queen mother, if there was really something at home, if you could ask for a good word from the master, it would be more useful than the Buddhist language.

Lunyin naturally refers to the holy decree, and the Buddhist language is a metaphor for the queen mother's decree, the queen mother advocates Buddhism the most, and every time she hears others compliment her as the reincarnation of Guanyin and the rebirth of the Buddha, she is extremely happy.

The words of the ladies are just private jokes, but the speaker is unintentional, the listener is intentional, and some words are passed on and the taste changes.

When it reached the ears of the Queen Mother, it became the most noble woman in the Great Qi Dynasty was none other than Xiao Wei, the Queen Mother or something, but she was just good-looking.

It's just enough to listen to such words once or twice, the Queen Mother has been through ups and downs for a long time, and it is not something that can be affected by one or two rumors.

But after a long time, I have heard a lot of similar rumors, even if the Queen Mother has a King Kong heart, it will be melted and eroded bit by bit.

Therefore, when Miaozhen is healthy and fine, the Queen Mother can still maintain the superficial 'grace', but once Miaozhen has an accident, the first person to fall into the well is the harem supreme.

"What's even more coincidental is that after Xiao Xuan welcomed the master back to the palace, his eldest son received an order from the commander of the Jingwei Commanding Envoy, and he was promoted from a rank of honor in the name of the Tunshu Mausoleum to the commander of the fourth grade."

Qi Jinzhi's tone couldn't help but carry a hint of sarcasm.

Xiao Xuan, as the future heir of Prince An's mansion, inherited Prince An's bloodline and appearance, but did not inherit the old man's shrewdness and ability. This prince of An is a well-known gentleman in Beijing.

piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, I don't know anything; Arched horses ride and shoot, everything is sparse; Only eat, drink and have fun, but it is easy to come by.

Coupled with thirty or forty years of depression, he simply found a reason for his inadequacy: the old man pressed him, and the sister pressed him, no matter how hard he tried, others couldn't see it, and he would only say that he relied on Lao Tzu and his sister.

It's just a matter of relying on Lao Tzu, from ancient times to the present, it is all about fighting fathers and ancestors.

Reliable Girl ...... This hurts his self-esteem too much, Xiao Xuan, who has nothing to do, fell directly, and ran all the way on the road of gentleness more and more, and in a few decades, he was successfully promoted from a young gentleman to an old gentleman.

has such an unreliable father, Xiao Xuan's sons have all been raised without exception.

Although it is not as unscrupulous and decadent as Xiao Xuan, he is also mediocre in qualifications, relying on the shade of the door and the grace of the saint, but he has done nothing all the year round, except for the promotion of all the staff on major festivals, almost what kind of official position was it when he entered, and what kind of official position is it now.

Xiao Xuan's eldest son has been in the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army for nearly ten years, and he is only a petty official of six or seven grades when he goes around.

Now that he has been suddenly promoted, you say there is no problem here, who believes it?!

"The Jingwei Command Envoy is subordinate to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, if I'm not mistaken, the current Governor seems to have been recommended by the master."

Gu Jialuo frowned and said lightly.

The master was recuperating in Prince An's Mansion, no matter what the specific reason was, but in the eyes of the world, it was the fact that 'Miao Zhen is the daughter of Prince An's Mansion'.

And Xiao Xuan, as the successor of the palace, is the eldest brother of the master's relatives, and now the master has been personally welcomed back to the palace by Xiao Xuan, this information makes people who are biased towards Master Miaozhen can't help but think more.

"Yes, now the door of King An's Mansion is wide open, and the banquets continue all day, although nominally the visitors are here to 'visit', but-"

Qi Jinzhi shook his head, and said sincerely, he didn't like Xiao Xuan's style very much, his eyelids were too shallow, there was no pattern, and he was too eager for quick success!

"Hmph, what a visit, the master is unconscious, he, they do this to her!"

Gu Jialuo bit his lower lip, feeling very distressed for the master. Suddenly, she understood why the master was at odds with her mother's family. Ahh

Qi Jinzhi didn't want to discuss this topic, so he turned his head and asked, "Let's accompany you to the Gu family tomorrow." The old man and father are very fond of you, and after three years apart, you will also go to greet your grandmother and mother. ”

Gu Jialuo nodded. She really misses the people in her family, too.

Qi Jinzhi said cautiously: "After we come back from the Gu family, we will take the time to go back to our hometown, okay?" "The ancestral grave of the Qi family is in his hometown, and Brother Ji is buried there.

Gu Jialuo's heart was suddenly pinched, her breathing was a little short, she gasped a few times, she said slowly: "Don't worry, next month is the Winter Clothes Festival, we haven't been in Beijing for a long time, and we haven't been able to go back often, now that we have returned to Beijing, let's go back to our hometown to worship our ancestors together." ”

Qi Jinzhi's kindness, Gu Jialuo didn't want to live up to it, since no one outside knew about Brother Ji'er's existence, she didn't want to publicize it with great fanfare.

It is saved to let people with intentions grasp the handle and give birth to right and wrong for no reason.

Especially right now, there is a weirdness everywhere in Kyochu, Gu Jialuo is standing on the edge of the storm, she doesn't want to put herself and her family in danger because of any negligence.

It is too eye-catching to worship Brother Ji alone, so I took the opportunity of the Winter Clothes Festival to go back and change my name to make sense.

Qi Jinzhi held Gu Jialuo's hand and said softly: "Okay, then let's go back on the Winter Clothes Festival." "His Ah Luo is really the most knowledgeable person who takes the overall situation into account, and now the Qi family is indeed not suitable for another incident.

Early the next morning, Gu Jialuo returned to the county lord of Qinghe, and after getting the permission of the county lord, together with Qi Jinzhi, took two children and a group of servants, and went to the mansion of Zhao Guogong.

After not seeing each other for three years, the family reunited, and naturally they were excited and confided.

Compared with the last time they met, the Song family was a little thinner, but they were in good spirits, and they were so happy that they wiped their tears when they saw Gu Jialuo.

"Good, good, good, it's good to come back, it's too bitter outside, it's still convenient in Beijing."

Song personally helped Gu Jialuo, who was saluting, pulled her to sit down beside her, looked at her with a pair of eyes, and kept saying: "Your complexion looks fine, it shows that your uncle treats you very well." I heard that it was a bit difficult to give birth, how is your body recovering now? ”

Gu Jialuo said with a smile: "Mother, don't worry, everything is fine with me, and I have been taking care of myself since I gave birth." Yesterday, the doctor also checked the pulse and said that it was no longer in trouble. ”

Song patted the back of her hand and said with relief: "That's good, I'm relieved to see that you are doing well." ”

Gu Jialuo raised his eyes and looked around, and asked, "Are you okay at home?" Younger siblings are still obedient, right? I heard that the fifth brother is going to study in the clan school? ”

At the mention of his son, the smile on Song's face brightened a little, "Yes, that little leather monkey should also be taken care of, when I go to the academy, I will always be able to settle down when I have a gentleman watching." I don't want him to be as competitive as Brother Jue, I just hope he doesn't eat and play all day long. ”

The Song family gave birth to two sons and a daughter, the eldest son Gu Jue is the second in the Gu family, but he is the eldest son of the prince, and he has been raised by the grandfather of the country since he was a child. This year is only sixteen years old, and he has already been admitted to Xiucai, and he is a well-known 'talent' in Beijing, of course, in private, Grandpa Guo has also personally taken him to Liaodong, and he has been beaten in the camp for two years. He is an outstanding boy who is both civil and military.

The second son, Gu Jing, is the fifth oldest in the family, because he is the youngest son, and he was raised by Gu Ze'an and the Song family, he is inevitably arrogant.

However, the Gu family's tutor has always been strict, even if he is arrogant, Gu Jing has not grown into a gentleman, just a somewhat naughty bear child.

But for parents and elders, children are more lively than children like 'little adults', so don't look at Song's screaming of a bastard boy and a monkey, but his eyebrows and eyes are full of doting on his young son.

Gu Jialuo smiled and echoed a few words, and then followed the Song family to greet the old lady.

In the Daoxiang Courtyard, Mrs. Zhao pulled Gu Jialuo to her side, looked her up and down, and said with a smile: "Okay, it's actually fatter than in the past, so it's good, blessed!" ”

The aesthetics of the elders, Gu Jialuo can only hehe.

The second lady Gu looked at it coldly, with an exaggerated smirk on her face, "What my mother said is that our second lady is the most blessed, and she has added two great-granddaughters to you at once, and the people outside praise our Gu family's daughter for being so childlike." ”

Gu Lin, the daughter of the Gu family, was pregnant a few months earlier than Gu Jialuo, and she was also a twin, but the younger one died just over 100 days.

Gu accompanied Gu Lin to cry several times, and the day before yesterday, she had just gone to see her daughter and granddaughter, and her eyes were red and swollen from crying before coming back. As a result, seeing Gu Jialuo leading her husband and her two daughters back to her parents' house with a red face today, Gu couldn't help but feel a little angry:

Why are they all twin flowers, and her sister Lin is going to suffer the pain of losing her daughter? And Gu Jialuo's mother and daughter are safe?

Why are they all giving birth to daughters, and the Xu family's broken family still dares to dislike it? But the Qi family praised Gu Jialuo as a pearl in the palm of his hand?

Gu Shi tore the handkerchief in his hand, his dissatisfaction with Dafang over the years reached its peak, and he also had a little jealousy towards Gu Jialuo. Perhaps, she should promise that person to tell some old things about the past...... (To be continued.) )
