Chapter 427: The First Day After the New Year
On the day of the Shangyuan Festival, the curfew is lifted in the capital, and the lantern festival will continue until dawn, so everyone can play all night and have an extreme carnival on the last day of the new year.
After the guests went out, Bai Ko told the girls to clean up the aftermath, she and Shui Zhen sent Gu Hui back to the back of Jicheng Hall, Aunt Rong learned from Shui Zhen that Gu Hui had the opportunity to go out as a guest to contact the outside world, and she was overjoyed, and hurriedly gave Bai Ko a reward of one hundred taels of silver.
Bai Ko thanked the reward, quit the house, and walked out of the corridor when he heard Aunt Rong's happy sobs coming from the room.
There are only two unmarried young masters on the side of the long house, and the prince can't directly invite the female relatives to come to the house as guests in his name, just like today, he has to borrow his buddies to bring his sisters, if Gu Hui can raise her well, she is the young lady of the long house, and if there is anything, it is good to ask her to come forward.
Bai Ko returned to the small kitchen, ate something casually and went back to his room to rest, and tonight he promised to give her a holiday, so he boiled hot water and took a comfortable bath, and climbed into the bed early.
Gu Yun and his brothers didn't come back until midnight, and when they sent their younger brother back to Jicheng Hall, they heard the girls talk about the grandfather and Mrs. Guo had only arrived home not long ago, and after dinner, the couple also went to the street to have a good time, and guessed several lantern riddles and brought back a bunch of prizes.
Tell the girls to wait well, Gu Yun went back to his own courtyard to wash and sleep, he was going to Fuxue at dawn, and the first day after the end of the New Year was the day of Fuxue's class.
Bai Ko slept comfortably, made a hearty breakfast early in the morning, and everyone busily sent the young master out to school.
The eldest lord arrived at the official office, and after being busy for half a morning, his subordinates suddenly hurriedly walked in, and presented the official documents of the Ministry of Officials with a smile.
The original old man returned to his hometown at the beginning of last year, and has been the post of the old man acting for more than a month.
The subordinates in the government office learned the news one after another and rushed to congratulate them.
"Congratulations to my lord, congratulations to my lord, today's happy event will help you rise step by step in the future, six servants, six books, there will be a place for adults."
The eldest lord was coaxed by his subordinates to be happy and invited them to have a feast at home on a day off.
The officials of this department did not know that there was a good cook in the Yeguo Mansion, and they were overjoyed, and laughed for a while, before they dispersed one after another.
The room slowly regained its quietness, and the eldest man reorganized his spirits and devoted himself to official duties, and the good news for the family was done by others, without his special orders.
When the people who reported the good news rode to the Yeguo Mansion in Tianshui Fang, in the Fuyang Palace in the harem, Concubine Zhao Xian also welcomed her granddaughter Shi Tianqi in the warm pavilion.
"It's really rare, you have to play until the second half of the night every year for the Lantern Festival, and today you can actually get up early and enter the palace, is it really grown up and sensible?"
Concubine Zhao Xian was naturally a kind-looking and kind elder in front of her child, holding the child and sitting with her.
"Grandma, I heard an interesting story at the Lantern Festival last night, and I specially went into the palace to tell my grandmother, so that I wouldn't forget it after a long time." Shi Tianqi looked like a girl, leaning on Concubine Zhao Xian to be coquettish, and put away her usual momentum of opening her teeth and dancing claws.
"Okay, what's the interesting story? Shall I hear it? ”
"Grandma, you also know the protagonist of the story, on the day of the emperor's grandson's accident, it was Bai Ko who really saved him, not the three emperors and grandsons who escaped on their own as mentioned in the announcement."
"White Kou?!" Concubine Zhao Xian's kind eyes instantly swept away when she heard this name.
"The truth of the whole thing is that Bai Ko is facing the enemy alone, and the two dead crutches are her hands."
"Where did you hear that? Reliable messaging? ”
"Grandma, you don't believe it, Ye Junting said it herself when she watched the lanterns last night, and the maids and servants present at the time heard it, and the content of the notice in the palace was actually written by Bai Ko, she adapted a story according to the truth, and the palace took her story and released it like this."
"It is worthy of being a child of the Bai family." Concubine Zhao Xian's eyebrows showed murderous intent, "I really have the ability, I was still thinking about who killed two people in a row and did a good thing for me, but I didn't expect it to be such a little hairy girl as Bai Ko." ”
"Grandma, don't move over there in the East Palace for the time being, but the prince and his wife can't stay, otherwise they will betray us sooner or later."
"You don't need to say this, I've already arranged it, but I didn't expect this originally foolproof plan to be intervened by Bai Ko, I can't see that she is quite powerful, teenage girls have the ability to face the enemy head-on."
"Grandma, what should I do with this white carda? Now because of her merits, the East Palace and the Yeguo Mansion are directly connected, and we have suffered such a big loss, we can't count it. ”
"If she is a girl who doesn't go out all day, she really can't do anything about her, but I heard that she takes care of Gu Yun's business single-handedly, since she often has to go out, life and death can't help her."
"Send a powerful one this time, you must find a ruthless master, but you can't show mercy just because she's a little girl. Bai Ko is a good talent, if she were my subordinate, I would use her well, but unfortunately she is not, then I can only get rid of her before she gets into big trouble, but I can't let her rise to the rank of staff and military advisor. ”
"She can be regarded as Gu Yun's right-hand man now, she really got rid of her, who will fill her vacancy? It would be nice if one of our people could stay by Gu Yun's side. ”
"Gu Yun is sixteen or seventeen years old this year, and the Yeguo Mansion doesn't worry about his marriage at all, grandma, how about giving him a marriage?"
"Marriage?" Concubine Zhao Xian scratched the bridge of her granddaughter's straight nose, "Yes, I forgot, you are only one year younger than Gu Yun, you are going to be in time this year, it's time to find your mother-in-law." ”
"Oh, grandma, what about Gu Yun, what are you talking about me?" Shi Tianqi squirmed.
"Didn't you just say that you would give marriage? The daughter of our eldest princess and the concubine is also the same as the prince of the Guogong Mansion, and the family is right. ”
"Grandma~~~~" Shi Tianqi blushed and went straight into Concubine Zhao Xian's arms.
Concubine Zhao Xian laughed, patted the child lovingly, and her face changed again.
"Don't be too happy, if you are willing to marry, people must not want to marry."
"Grandma?!"
"You sue me first, there are so many princes and princes in the capital, where do you like Gu Yun?"
"Among the existing founding princes, the Yeguo Mansion has always been low-key, but last year, Gu Yunqiu was on the list, although he was the third on the top list, but he was the first in the circle of candidates in the capital. He is not ugly, so far the backyard is quiet and there is no room, and he also puts the girl to marry, just this point, the sisters say that he is a rare good man. ”
"Hey, little hairy girl, I think so much."
Concubine Zhao Xian nodded her granddaughter's forehead and scolded with a smile.
