Chapter 111: Gu Clan
The eldest princess of Huiyang has always been generous, especially to reward these people who serve her son, the jade version is from the Xianrong Academy, and it is the same as Aunt Jia: four horses of various colors of Su satin, two pieces of Shu brocade, a pair of red gold agate bracelets, a pair of silver leaf hairpins inlaid with beads, and ten beeswax rings of various colors.
The jade version had already seen Lingzhi and said with a smile, "Then thank you sister,"
After Ge Jin left, only the jade version lived in the back cover room, Lingzhi helped the jade version carry the things into the room, put them on the table, and quickly closed the door, "My aunt asked me to bring a message to my sister." ”
Lingzhi was serving by Aunt Li's side, and Yuban glanced out the window, "Sister just said,"
……
Ning Yanwan had no intention of hating Aunt Jia and the jade version for winning the eyes of the eldest princess of Huiyang, she quietly accompanied Aunt Jia and the jade version of the calligraphy and painting to receive the reward, and helped Qingdai back to the east chamber.
"Danxia, go and tell Mama Jing, I want to go back to Ning's house," and when she entered the East Chamber, Ning Yanwan breathed a long sigh of relief and said.
Qing Dai and Danxia followed Ning Yanwan from the Ning family to the eldest princess's mansion, it has been more than ten years, seeing Ning Yanwan like this, how can there be anything not distressed, Danxia immediately straightened her dress and was about to go out, "Slave maid will go." ”
Ning Yanwan wanted to go back to her parents' house, but Mama Jing didn't even return to the eldest princess of Huiyang, so she directly sent her a carriage and horse.
But when Ning Yanwan took Qingdai Danxia to the gate, when she saw the black-painted flat-head car, Qingdai couldn't help crying.
"Auntie, they're too bullying!"
Usually Ning Yanwan went out, but she took a Zhu Lunhua covered car, but now it has become a simple black painted flat-head car, "I'll look for them!" ”
"It's nice to come back and have a car,"
The eldest princess of Huiyang is the same as the princes and kings, in addition to the eldest princess's guard of honor, there is also a three-driven apricot yellow hanging canopy covered red wheel carriage, and Ding Huiniang, who is the wife of the prince, because it is a one-product order, goes out is a two-driven green curtain bead eight treasure car, such as the same scholar.
In ordinary families, serious wives and wives usually use a Heiqin flat-headed car, but Ning Yanwan is deeply favored by the eldest princess of Huiyang and Zhao Yi'an, and the people at the bottom are tricky, even if they don't use Ding Huiniang's carriage, they also arrange a Zhu Lunhua cover car for Ning Yanwan.
looked at the carriage in front of her, and understood that this was Mama Jing telling her that without Zhao Yi'an's favor, she would be nothing.
Their master didn't speak, Qingdai and Danxia could only endure their anger, helped Ning Yanwan into the carriage, and went to Ning's house.
Ning Yanwan's mother's surname is Gu, the Gu family was originally from Qinghe in the suburbs of Beijing, and they have been farming and studying for a living for several generations, and in the Gu family's generation, the Gu family has produced a well-known prodigy, that is, Gu's own brother Gu Chen Gu Peizhi.
Gu Chen was sixteen years old in the Shun Tianfu Xie Yuan, twenty-four years old in the third Jinshi Tanhua, awarded the Hanlin Academy to edit, but the sky is jealous of the talent, Gu Chen entered the Hanlin Academy less than a year, he died young, his wife was gone, and the Gu family cut off cigarettes.
Ning Yanwan's mother Gu was not lucky, she was ruled by Gu Chen, married Ning Congzhe in the same year, Ning Congzhe and Gu Chen were the same people, but they did not have the same literary luck as Gu Chen, and then fell one after another, until the time of his death, he was just a lifter.
However, the Ning family is also a small property in the capital, and the Gu family has a son Ning Lin and daughter Ning Yanwan, and their lives are peaceful.
When Ning Yanwan's car drove to Saltwater Lane in the west of the city, Gu was talking to her daughter-in-law Xu Shi teasing her youngest granddaughter Ning Ruixue.
"What's going on? If you want to come back, don't send someone to say it first," Gu Shi heard that the maid outside was coming, so he hurriedly got off the kang and greeted him.
"Mother," Seeing her mother, Ning Yanwan couldn't hold it anymore, and suddenly threw herself into Gu's arms and sobbed.
Seeing this, the Xu family didn't care about greeting Ning Yanwan, so he hurriedly hugged his daughter and retreated.
"What's going on?" Gu waited for her daughter's crying to stop before stroking her back and said, "But you were angry in the eldest princess's mansion?" Or the son of the world,"
The Gu family didn't dare to say any further, the Ning family was now also pointing to the eldest princess's mansion.
"Mother, what do you say? The prince is fine," Ning Yanwan took the handkerchief in Gu's hand and wiped the tears on her face, Gu saw that she looked embarrassed, and hurriedly called the maid next to her to serve Ning Yanwan to refresh, and the two sat down to talk again.
Hearing that Zhao Yi'an didn't do anything, Gu's heart was finally put down, "You came just in time, I was about to tell you, this time your brother is going to participate in the Autumn Festival, this time you have to tell the prince, my mother has already inquired, the chief examiner of this hometown examination is Mei Xianian, the deputy chief examiner is Master Cheng of the Inspectorate, and the other is you Huo Shibo,"
Gu lowered his voice, "Your brother is already a big man, do you want to be a showman all the time?" ”
Ning Lin is Gu's only son, but he is neither like his uncle nor his father, he is already twenty-four years old and just a showman, although the showman in his twenties is not bad, but for Gu's sister who explores flowers, it is far from enough, but she is also from a scholar's family, and after a few years, she also knows that her son is not enough, and now she can only think of other ways.
"Mother, do you want to ask Lord Huo?" Ning Lin's future Ning Yanwan was also very concerned, and when she heard Gu Shi say this, she couldn't care about her sadness, "Does my mother feel sure?" ”
Ning Yanwan is a boudoir woman, and she also knows that this imperial examination is a national ceremony, and if she wants to get through the favors, I am afraid it will not be easy, even if it is a friend of her father before his death.
"It's naturally not enough for us to beg you Uncle Huo alone," Gu Shi frowned.
The Huo master in Gu's mouth is Ning Congzhe's living friend Huo Jingxiang, and he is also the same year as Gu Chen's palace test, although he is not as beautiful as Gu Chen at that time, but he has lived safely and smoothly until now, and now he has become an official to the household department, because he has a close relationship with Gu Ning, and he has also taken care of the orphans and widows of the Ning family over the years.
"What are you going to do?" Ning Yanwan knew that the Gu family had an idea, otherwise she would not have forced her to be a concubine for Zhao Yi'an.
Although Gu Shi is over forty years old, there are no fine lines on his fair skin, his slender willow eyebrows are gently raised, Shui Xing's eyes are full of sorrow, even in front of his daughter, he is like a girl who needs someone to care for him all the time, "I don't know what to do, I just think about it in private, it's better to ask Shizi to come forward and mention it to Master Huo, and then let's give him some more silver,"
Seeing that his daughter was silent, Gu Shi said again, "I listen to your Uncle Huo, the current Lord Shangbu Jiang will be Zhishi next year, and the position of this Shangshu is between him and Cheng Shilang!" ”
