Chapter 879: Entering the palace in the name of business
The content of the chapter begins - > Gu Xu is now a close minister of the Son of Heaven, and his sister's marriage is naturally told to the sage, and the sage heard about it and didn't talk to Gu Xu about it, but Bai Ko received a letter from the palace, the palace wanted to build a greenhouse for planting orchids, and set a date and time for her to enter the palace to see where such a big glass house was built, and calculate the materials, construction period and cost.
Bai Ko hurriedly sorted out the materials used in the workshop to build the greenhouse, packed it in a bookbag, and arrived outside the palace gate at the appointed time.
The gardener in the palace had prepared several empty gardens that were large enough, and Bai Ko looked at them one by one, measured the land, considered the size of the foundation, and whether there was room for stacking building materials, and carefully recorded each place, and before he knew it, he walked to the imperial garden, ready to cross here to the next place.
But when I entered the imperial garden, I knew that the saint was resting in the pavilion here, and it was too late to quit, so Bai Ko hurriedly stepped forward to salute and say goodbye.
The saint sat in the pavilion feeling the cool breeze with the fragrance of flowers, enjoying a cold drink that had been chilled, holding a book in his hand that he didn't know what it was, and when he saw Bai Ko kowtowing to the steps, he put down the book with great amusement and gave her a flat body, and called her to the pavilion to talk.
"Did you come in today to check out the greenhouse? Which garden do you like? ”
"Back to your majesty, you haven't finished yet, and there are still a few gardens that haven't measured the land."
"Well, I hope this greenhouse will be built as soon as possible, and a few pots of good bluegrass will be planted, and if I can catch up with Gu Xu's sister to get married, the palace will send her a few pots as a congratulatory gift."
"Majesty?!" Bai Ko was taken aback, and suddenly realized that today was not simply called in to prepare to build a greenhouse, and subconsciously looked at both sides, only to notice that the palace maids and eunuchs were all standing under the pavilion, and they were several steps away, and there were only saints and Xi Gonggong on it from the beginning, and now there was one more her, a total of three people.
"What's going on with the second room in your house? Before, the non-clan didn't marry, and there was a big circle, and he married Yang Mi again? Did he take the handle? ”
"Yes." Bai Ko nodded honestly.
"Huh?!" The saint said it so casually, and when he saw that Bai Ko really responded, he was stunned for a moment, and his father-in-law couldn't help but stare at the beads on the side.
"It's true, I was taken by the handle, and I had to marry."
"What about Gu Yunkuan? As the head of the family, he recognized it as such? ”
"Our second master has also been taken by the handle."
"What's going on?!" The sage immediately sat up straight, raised his hand and patted it lightly on the case, "Come here, come here, come here, how much do you know, come through the passage!" ”
Bai Ko then walked to the case and whispered everything she knew in chronological order, making only a statement and not commenting.
After hearing this, the saint was silent for a long time.
"Gu Yunkuan wanted his little daughter to marry into the clan, but in the end, he didn't expect that the father and daughter were both grabbed by others, hum, they did it themselves."
Bai Ko bowed her head and was silent, she was not qualified to take this conversation.
"Gu Chan played hide and seek with others, why did she meet Yang Mi by the pond so coincidentally? Have you thought about this? ”
"Back to Your Majesty, according to the results of our Shizi investigation, this is all a deliberate bureau, the male owner who invited Yang Mi to the other courtyard, and the young ladies who played hide and seek with our fifth miss Gu are cousins of the family, and they have a good time playing hide and seek, those young ladies saw the opportunity and deliberately ran away, and our fifth miss didn't know, so they walked to the pond in order to find someone."
The sage was taken aback, "Use your sister's reputation to accompany others to make a game?" If this gets out, will those girls still get married? Whose boy is so brainless? I'm going to write down the names. ”
"It's Lu Yiqing, the second son of the Zhongshan uncle's family, and those young ladies are his cousin and his aunt's uncle's cousin."
"Uncle Nakayama?" The sage's finger tapped lightly on the case a few times, "Okay, I've made a note."
It's none of your business, you can go ahead and go about your business. ”
"The slave and maid are gone."
Bai Ko bowed and retreated, and continued to work elsewhere through the Imperial Garden.
The saint had no intention of sitting in the pavilion any longer, setting himself in the queen's palace and whispering to the queen.
Bai Ko ran around the palace for a long time, and only returned to the house at dinner time, and after washing her hands and face and changing her clothes, she went into the main hall, and with a wave of her hand, she sent the girls away, and she served the prince alone to dine, and retold to him the conversation with the saint.
Gu Yun chirped and chewed the green vegetables, rolled his eyes to the sky, and asked Bai Ko to go down to eat, and when they had rested after the meal, the two of them went to Jichengtang and repeated it to the eldest lord and the eldest lady as it was.
Mrs. Gu is really helpless, since the sage let Bai Ko pass the word back like this, it is obvious that he is dissatisfied with this sudden change, and the second brother and sister have no explanation at all, which will aggravate the anger of others, and the face of the clan is not something that the family members of the five grades in the second room can afford.
"What exactly does a second room mean? The younger brother and sister pretended to be deaf and dumb, and didn't care about her for the sake of her being a woman in the house, but Gu Xu was doing errands by the side of the Son of Heaven all day long, didn't he know the stakes in this? Even now, he hasn't said a word?! "Mrs. Gu is not only dissatisfied with her concubine, but also complains about this eldest nephew.
"Okay, don't be angry, since the saint already knows what's going on, let the second room suffer by himself, I really think that the Son of Heaven and the ministers will not be able to take others in their eyes, last time because of the concubine, I was warned by the saint, and even lost a good errand once, and I still haven't learned a lesson, and now it's coming again, I think Gu Xu's future is like this."
"Dad, mother, should we remind them again?"
"Remind what? Bai Ko entered the palace to work to make money, when did she see the saint? The eldest lady rolled her eyes.
The eldest lord sneered twice at the corner of his mouth, waved his hand to let Gu Yun and Bai Ko go down, and when the two young people went out, the couple discussed for a while, and the eldest lord asked his wife to spit out to the old lady tomorrow to make some preparations for the separation, the long house has a great future, and I don't want to be affected by this ignorant second room.
Since the eldest lady said that Bai Ko had never seen the saint, Bai Ko naturally would not take the initiative to talk about it, in the next few days, in addition to being busy with the housework in the house and the business of the workshop, she was also busy with the matter of building a greenhouse in the palace, and found the craftsmen who built the greenhouse for the workshop to discuss and discuss repeatedly, they could not enter the palace to see the scene, and they all relied on Bai Ko to come back to draw a schematic diagram, according to the length and width of the size she measured back to come out of various style schemes, assembled into a book, and then submitted to the palace for selection, different sizes have different costs, all written clearly.
If it can be negotiated in the end, think about the number of glass plates to be used in the greenhouse, even if it is only the smallest one, it can make a lot of money. End of chapter - > remember after reading it: easy to read next time, or.
