Chapter 1: Entering Beijing
In late autumn, the sky is as blue as a wash, and a few white clouds pass by, slowly changing shape with the autumn wind.
In the silent Buddha hall, the kind old woman looked at the girl who had just passed her sixteenth birthday next to her, and said softly: "Go and put incense on your mother, and then carefully pack up the tablet, it seems that we need to leave today." ”
Gu Qiluo agreed softly, and the old woman sighed, patted the girl's shoulder, turned around and walked out.
Two plainly dressed women outside the door were waiting there, and when they saw her come out, they hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Old lady, the weather is gradually getting colder, you and the eldest girl should also set off, the old lady is looking forward to it day and night, if it is a few days later, the sky will be colder and colder, and it will be difficult to walk on the road." ”
Mrs. Zhou glanced at the two servants, and said lightly: "I know, let's leave today, the girl and I have already packed up our things, you go and prepare the carriage." ”
"Ouch, this dare is good, the carriages and horses have been prepared, and the slaves and maids will arrange it." The two servants said with a smile, and one of them looked into the room, and said respectfully, "The old lady and the eldest girl's things have been packed?" Didn't you miss anything? Do you want the slave to go in again and help take a look? ”
"No need. I'm a poor old woman, how many things can I have? Didn't you say that the capital is ready? ”
Listening to Mrs. Zhou's voice, it was a little cold, so the two servants hurriedly laughed and said: "This is natural, the master is now a five-grade official, even if he can't be as fine as the prince's mansion, he will never lose the old lady and the eldest girl." ”
"That'll do." Mrs. Zhou waved her hand after speaking, and the two servants turned around and left, and went to arrange the carriage and horses. She stood outside the house, looking at the two laurel trees in the yard, and for a long time, Fang sighed softly.
"This time I went to the capital, I don't know if it is good or bad. Ming Yang is lenient, and although he is an official now, he will not ignore Qiluo, he is afraid that that woman will make some trouble, no matter how he thinks about it, he feels that she has no good intentions. But what can I do? The girl is getting bigger, I'm a lonely old woman, how long can I take her? A serious illness a few days ago almost killed her. Besides, she has also reached the age of marriage, went to the capital, and has her father, a five-grade official, maybe she can marry a child of an official eunuch, and she will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life. Alas! Su'e, you have to bless Kira, this kid's life is miserable......"
Mrs. Zhou muttered to herself, and she didn't know how long it took, when she suddenly heard a "squeak" behind her, she looked back and saw Gu Qiluo holding a small bag in her hand, knowing that it contained the tablet of the girl's mother, so the old lady nodded and said softly: The carriage will come in a while, go and take out all the baggage we have packed up in the past few days, there are still a few pieces of myself in it, you know it, don't look at it, don't let those two daughters-in-law get their hands dirty. “
"Got it." Gu Qiluo agreed softly, feeling a little funny in her heart: those grandmother's bodies are said to be antiques from the previous dynasty, but she doesn't look like anything valuable, but the old lady is afraid that she will be calculated.
Gu Qiluo, I'm going to go to the capital for you, I don't know the bad luck this time, your stepmother doesn't seem to be a fuel-efficient lamp, and the sisters don't know what their temperament is? But no matter what, I will live well for you, I will protect my grandmother for you, be filial to her, and never let her suffer in Nafu.
After packing up her things and coming out, looking at Mrs. Zhou's kind eyes, Gu Qiluo sighed in her heart: The old man didn't know that her real granddaughter had died of a serious illness three months ago, and now in this body, there is just a wisp of ghosts from different time and space. Fortunately, she inherited the memory of the original Gu Qiluo, and the old lady is also old, so she doesn't know many things, otherwise it is really easy to show her stuff in front of her grandmother who gets along day and night.
The carriage slowly drove into the courtyard, Gu Qiluo picked up the few personal burdens of Mrs. Zhou, and got into the carriage with her grandmother with the support of the two servants. She had only lived here for three months, but she still couldn't help but look back at the courtyard, then got into the car and sat down gently next to Mrs. Zhou.

Gufu in the capital
In the main hall, Mrs. Lu slowly dialed the lid of the teacup, and asked the middle-aged woman standing in front of her without raising her head: "Have all the rooms in the West Cross Courtyard been cleaned up?" I calculated that the old lady and the eldest girl should be here in a few days. ”
"Mrs. Hui's words, everything has been packed, according to your instructions, the bedding is brand new, the finest materials are used, and the furnishings are also fine ...... taken out of the warehouse."
The woman who respectfully reported was Mrs. Lu's dowry, because she was married to Zhou Hong, the housekeeper in the house, so she was called Mrs. Zhou, but she was Mrs. Lu's confidant, and she was the two aunts in the house, and she had to be given three points.
But she was extremely respectful in front of Mrs. Lu at the moment, because she knew the character of this master, and she liked people to fear her the most.
"Okay, don't say so much, I don't have to worry about you."
Mrs. Lu slowly put down the teacup and expressed her satisfaction with Zhou Hong's cousin. She was about to say something more, when she heard Aunt Han on the left hand side smile and said: "Mrs. is really filial, but this is too careful, the old lady and the eldest girl have lived in the countryside of Hangzhou for more than ten years, and they are used to living a simple life, and now you are planning for them like this, I am afraid that they will not know your kindness, but will say that you are too luxurious." ”
Mrs. Lu smiled: "Nonsense, the master is just a fifth-grade official, where can he be luxurious?" It's just that since the old lady and the eldest girl are here, I have to do my part. Don't forget, the eldest girl is the daughter of the house. ”
Another Aunt Zhuang also hurriedly laughed and said: "Look at what Mrs. said, our three girls are also daughters, and they are still born to Mrs. Zhuang, why don't you see you so careful?" ”
Mrs. Lu's smile deepened, and she shook her head and said, "I gave birth to Jinxiu, I treat her well, she can still pick my mother, isn't it?" Even if she is wronged, who is she not affected by? The big girl is different, alas! The child also had a hard life, and his mother was gone just after birth, and he grew up with the old lady to such a big age. The old lady misses the old again, so many years, I don't know how many times the old man and I have said, to pick up their grandparents and grandchildren, but the old lady refuses to move the place, if only the eldest girl is taken over, is the old lady left to live alone in the countryside? So in the end, thank goodness, the old lady has finally turned this corner. When they arrived, they told her about the family affairs set for the eldest girl, and sent the eldest girl out of the cabinet next year, and the old lady could enjoy the blessings with peace of mind. ”
Aunt Han hurriedly laughed and said, "Isn't it?" Mrs. Zhenzhen is the most filial. The eldest girl has been lonely since she was a child, but now she can have such a family affair, isn't it the heart of the wife Bodhisattva, and she really thinks about her, can she have this luck? Speaking of which, this time the second son of Xiao should also come back from the border pass, right? ”
Aunt Zhuang glanced at Aunt Han quietly, gave a thumbs up in her heart, and said secretly: You are still powerful, so that you can say anything, I am still inferior to you. This family affair is that the wife took the life of the eldest girl to the Xiao family, but let you say that it is a good relationship, and reversing black and white is not such a reversal.
Even Mrs. Lu, the smile on her face was slightly sluggish, but she immediately smiled: "It's not a bodhisattva's heart, it's just that I think that the eldest girl is a motherless child, I don't worry about her, who cares about her?" The lord is so focused on business that he doesn't care about his children's marriage, what should I do if I don't come out? ”
Although Aunt Zhuang disdains that Aunt Han doesn't even want her conscience in order to pat herself on the back, she has to praise a few words against her will at this time, lest the limelight be robbed by Aunt Han. Everyone was talking lively, when they saw the curtain of the door lifted, a girl walked in, and said respectfully to Mrs. Lu: "Madam, the carriage of the old lady and the eldest girl has arrived outside the house. ”
***********************
This is Gu Fu? It doesn't look good.
Helping Mrs. Zhou all the way to the back house, Gu Qiluo secretly looked at the mansion of the five officials in the capital, and found that compared with the Jia Mansion that Daiyu entered by the Dream of Red Mansions, he seemed to be much shabby.
But after thinking about it: This is also normal, what kind of force is Jiafu? Gu Mansion is afraid that it can't even compare to a finger of others, not to mention that it is not a peaceful and prosperous era now: the border has been fighting for many years, the treasury is empty, although the people are not poor to make a living, but they are also struggling to make a living, Gu Mansion can have such a big house with three entrances in the capital, which is already good.
Mrs. Lu and Aunt Han and Aunt Zhuang were already waiting at the bottom of the steps, and when they saw her grandparents and grandchildren entering the gate, they all came forward to greet them, and immediately snatched Gu Qiluo's work, looking at Mrs. Zhou who was surrounded by everyone, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but have a mocking smile, and secretly said At this time, they all put on such an affectionate and filial appearance, I hope you really have a filial piety.
Entering the hall, everyone let Mrs. Zhou sit in the first place, and Mrs. Lu led the concubines and children to salute Mrs. Zhou, and then stood up, pulled the three girls next to her and said with a spring breeze on their faces: "Old lady, this is the second girl Lan Xuan, who is fifteen years old this year. This is the third girl, who has just passed her fourteenth birthday. The fourth girl is vegetarian, and she will be thirteen in the New Year. ”
After speaking, he took the hand of a little boy beside the girls, and said with a smile: "This is your old little grandson, called Qingfeng." Qingyun is studying in Guozijian, and he can't go home until he is resting, so when he comes back, let him come to see you. Over the years, you have been living in Hangzhou, and you are not willing to enter Beijing, except for the big girl, the children can not be under your knees to do their filial piety, and now it is easy to look forward to you, and you will have to hurt them more in the future. ”
This Mrs. Lu is really a character, and her words make people feel very ironed. Gu Qiluo glanced at Mrs. Zhou's face out of the corner of her eyes, but saw that the old lady only smiled slightly, and said indifferently: "What you said made my old woman a little ashamed." Where is it that I refuse to enter Beijing to hurt them? I know your situation, Mingyang is just a five-grade official, you are not rich in Beijing, if I come, I will have to make a big fanfare, it is better to be in the countryside, I will also be clean, you don't have to settle the province in the morning and dusk, but you can concentrate on serving Mingyang. ”
