Chapter 279 Gathering

This year, the palace moved to the warm pavilion by the garden lake, and the preparations were more abundant than any year, singing small songs, performing miscellaneous dramas, and all kinds of hundred plays, all the same did not fall all over again, all prepared, just to see which one the old lady likes to see, summoned at any time, and the prince asked people to prepare all kinds of bucket flowers and box flowers, ready to use a small boat to set off fireworks on the lake for the old lady to see.

After all, the old lady was old, yawned a few times, and was sleepy, so she was going back to rest, the prince was busy waiting for the old lady to put on her shoes, watching Cheng Ke and Li Xiaonuan send the old lady back, turned around and couldn't see it, and then turned back, let people open the window, smell the cold breath that seeped with the smell of gunsmoke, slowly drank wine, gossiped with the princess, and kept until dawn.

Early the next morning, after sacrificing the ancestors, Cheng Ke and the prince were together, Li Xiaonuan waited for the princess, and went to the palace to congratulate the New Year's Day.

Zhou Jingran got off the sedan chair, smiled and greeted everyone all the way into the hall, stood in front of the nearest grade pillar to the hall, turned his head left and right to look for Cheng Ke, Yao Guogong had already entered the hall, looked at Zhou Jingran from a distance, saw him standing still, hurriedly walked a few steps over, respectfully greeted the salute,

"Lord Jing, Happy New Year."

"Yao Guogong is lucky."

Zhou Jingran hurriedly smiled and politely replied, Yao Guogong smiled all over his face, glanced left and right, leaned a little closer to Zhou Jingran, and pleaded straightforwardly:

"Master, please save my girl, this year ago, the Xu family gave a New Year's gift according to the example of the son-in-law, although he didn't say anything, but the master knows...... Sir, you have to save our family no matter what. ”

Zhou Jingran's face froze, frowned, and turned his head to look at Yao Guogong, Yao Guogong looked at Zhou Jingran with pleading eyes, looking like that, if there were not many people, I was afraid that I would have knelt on the ground and kowtowed, Zhou Jingran sighed helplessly, and said in a low voice:

"You hurt the child too much, you ......"

"Sir, please."

Yao Guogong's body bent down, and pleaded in a low voice, Zhou Jingran frowned, looked at the gate of the extremely far palace, King Runan and Cheng Ke who were walking over here, his heart moved slightly, turned his head to look at Yao Guogong and said:

"Don't beg me, I don't have the time to take care of this marriage between a man and a woman, I'll show you a clear way, the princess of Runan, your wife should always know her, go and beg her."

Yao Guogong was stunned, his face became even darker, he cried with a sad face, looked at Zhou Jingran and pleaded:

"Master, that girl in my family, where is she worthy of the world's master! Ask the master to show me another way. ”

Zhou Jingran blocked his throat in one breath, and raised his hand to point at Yao Guogong with a smile,

"You! Where do you want to go!? The prince is worthy of the princess, you think! I have shown you the way, please ask for it or not. ”

Zhou Jingran raised his feet and was about to greet King Runan and Cheng Ke, Yao Guogong didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly reached out to grab Zhou Jingran's sleeve.

"Master, I'll go, I'll go, and I'll give me some pointers, what kind of things can I send to meet the princess's wishes?"

Zhou Jingran paused,

"I heard that the princess loves to read, what rare books and ancient books, it is about appropriate."

Yao Guogong let go of Zhou Jingran, bowed down and thanked him, looked left and right, retreated to the side of his grade column, and looked at Zhou Jingran and Cheng Ke who were laughing casually and affectionately from a distance, pondered carefully for a while, and gradually understood in his heart, and his face was also soothed and relaxed.

The second day of the Lunar New Year is the day when the married daughter returns to the door, and the night before, the princess personally watched Li Xiaonuan's return ceremony, thought about it, and made people add a few things, before nodding with satisfaction.

Early the next morning, Cheng Ke accompanied Li Xiaonuan to the main courtyard to quit the princess, got into the car, and went to the ancient mansion.

Gu Xiao and Zheng Jiyu had already greeted at the gate, Cheng Ke jumped out of the car, greeted the two of them, and let them enter the house, Li Xiaonuan's car continued to go inside, and stopped in the second gate, Yan Shi came up, stretched out his hand to help Li Xiaonuan get out of the car, and said with a smile:

"The eldest sister and the second sister have just arrived, so I'm waiting for you."

Li Xiaonuan responded with a smile, talked with Yan all the way, and walked towards the Chunzhu Courtyard where Mrs. Zhou lived.

Gu Yunshan and Gu Yunhuan received the door of Chunzhu Courtyard, Yan'er also followed behind, happily following the salute, Li Xiaonuan and Gu Yunshan and Gu Yunhuan saw the salute, stretched out their hands to hold Yan'er, and the group went into the main house lively.

In the main room, Mrs. Zhou sat on the couch, holding the half-year-old Zheng Zhetian in her arms, Zheng Zhetian drooled, desperately kicked his legs and feet, danced his hands, and tried his best to pounce on Zheng Zheyuan and Jin Yushu, who were giggling, chasing Zheng Zheyuan and Jin Yushu in the house, Mo'er's brother followed behind Yushu with a full appearance, shouting while running:

"Yuyu, Ah Yuan, you run again, run again, my brother is angry!"

The room full of girls stared at the three children nervously, afraid of bumping into a star.

Zheng Zheyuan, who was running ahead, saw Gu Yunhuan who came in with the curtain lifted, and pounced on him with a smile.

"Mother!"

Gu Yunhuan hurriedly squatted down, stretched out his hand to hug Zheng Zheyuan, and Yushu, who was running behind, also giggled, and threw himself into Gu Yunshan's arms with his hands open.

Mo'er's forehead was full of beads of sweat, she ran to Gu Yunshan, bit her fingers and looked at the jade book writhing in Gu Yunshan's arms, turned her head to look at Yan'er, Yan squatted down, opened her hands and said with a smile:

"Come, let my aunt hug Mo'er!"

Mo'er shook her head, took her fingers out of her mouth, looked at Yan and said seriously:

"When I grow up, I don't want you to hug me, and I don't want my mother to hug me."

Yan laughed so much that he could barely stand up, and nodded his head in praise hurriedly:

"Mo'er is so sensible, worthy of being an elder brother, really a good brother."

Mo'er straightened her chest and tried to hold her uncontrollable smile, Mrs. Zhou hugged Zheng Zhetian, who was struggling and about to pounce on Gu Yunhuan, and stood up a few times without standing up, Li Xiaonuan hurriedly grabbed in front of Mrs. Zhou and helped her stand up, Mrs. Zhou gently patted Zheng Zhetian's back, and said with a smile:

"You're naughty, so much so that your grandmother can't hold you."

The nurse standing next to her hesitated and wanted to step forward to take it, Li Xiaonuan gently waved her hand to stop it, Mrs. Zhou walked to Gu Yunhuan with Zheng Zhetian in her arms, but she was reluctant to hand the child to her, only relying on her, Zheng Zhetian reached out to grab the velvet flower on Gu Yunhuan's head.

A few people were too busy to greet or talk, just staring at the few children running around the house, shouting, laughing, worrying, and laughing with the children's giggles and shouting, so lively that the house and yard seemed small.

The lively time passed very quickly, as if in a blink of an eye, the kitchen sent the food, the meal was also messy and lively, several children took turns or at the same time, the room full of girls and mothers-in-law were busy, and finally waited for everyone to finish eating.

The tired children didn't eat for long, and they yawned sleepily one by one, and Mrs. Zhou was also tired, watching the children fall asleep one by one by the nurse, and sent Li Xiaonuan and others to Yan's courtyard to talk, and fell asleep on the couch.

Yan led Li Xiaonuan, Gu Yunshan, and Gu Yunhuan all the way to his yard.

The three of them sat comfortably on the couch in the east wing, the little girl came up with tea, candied fruit and other snacks, Yan Shi withdrew the girl's mother-in-law, stood in front of the couch, let everyone, Gu Yunshan stopped her with a smile,

"Don't be so busy, sit down and let's talk, just eaten, who can eat these things? Sit down. ”

Gu Yunhuan and Li Xiaonuan also followed Yan's, Yan's answered, sat on the couch, Li Xiaonuan took two cushions for her, Yan sat down comfortably, several people gossiped, Gu Yunshan smiled and said the business to be done in partnership with Cheng Minying, Li Xiaonuan twisted her eyebrows slightly, thought carefully and asked:

"How many are you sure of?"

"Seventy or eighty percent, her shop, although the hospitality is too arrogant, but it is better than selling things to the extreme, buy a catty and get half a catty, but it is really the grandeur of the palace and the Hou Mansion,"

Gu Yunshan said, shaking her head with a wry smile,

"Besides, the medicinal materials in the shop are all bought with the help of the Runan Palace, they are all excellent medicinal materials, and the first-class goods are sold at the second-class price.

Li Xiaonuan raised her eyebrows, laughed, straightened up slightly, looked at Gu Yunshan, and said with some tears and laughter:

"If this is a grocery store or a dim sum shop, it is a good thing to do this business, but this medicinal herb shop pays attention to accuracy, what is the use of giving more medicine? Can I take more of that medicine? ”

When Yan heard this, he laughed, and Gu Yunhuan also shook his head with a smile,

"I'm a person who doesn't know how to do business, looking at it like this, Sister Cheng is just a person who doesn't care, the more she cares, the more chaotic it becomes!"

Gu Yunshan laughed for a while, and then said:

"Her shop, the location is good, over the years, the reputation is also good, that is, the hospitality is too arrogant, and the second is too small, if you can top the tea shop next door, open up, and then find a smarter doctor to sit in the hall, this business is not afraid of not getting better."

Li Xiaonuan thought carefully, nodded, looked at Gu Yunshan, and came up with an idea,

"You said that there is still a three-entry courtyard behind the tea shop, it's a pity not to get up, you look at this Dongcheng silver child pharmacy, that throat medicine, how much silver has been sold, it's better to go like this, I'll go back to ask Cheng Ke to think about ideas, see if I can ask for such a prescription from the Tai Hospital, you find some people, just make it into a medicine in that courtyard to sell, and sell it for half a year and a year, it's not better than anything!"

Gu Yunshan's eyes lit up, clapped her hands and said:

"This is a good thing that can't be begged for, if I have this again, this business, I will have ninety percent certainty!"

"I'll tell you again."

Li Xiaonuan was also interested,

"Your doctor sitting in the hall, the consultation fee is up, you make up half of it, and, you, you spend one day or two in a month to do free consultation, and you pay for the doctor's consultation fee, especially for those poor and destitute people to diagnose the disease, this pharmacy, if the reputation of compassion is there, this silver will follow."

It's finally a double shift today, but it's still ten minutes late, I want to powder, and I'm a little embarrassed, after all, it's late, alas, what do you want to be free? Or do you want it? Or do you want it?

It's so tangled.
