Chapter 595: Limelight
When I came to Yancheng, the heavy snow in winter was so heavy that no one went out of the house. The snow in the courtyard of the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info can be piled up thick to half a door high overnight. Two days ago, Gu Shinuo's letter arrived, and he said that he would come back in time for the New Year. Ji Anning was in a good mood, and the Gu family was naturally happy, and everyone had forgotten some things that were not very clear about the news in Shuzhou City.
Two days later, an urgent letter from the city of Shuzhou arrived, and the atmosphere of the Gu family immediately dropped. Gu Meinuo hurriedly went to inquire if there was any news of the dart team's trip, and the news he got was that unless the army was dispatched at the moment, the dart team would generally not work on such a day. Gu Meinuo has filial piety to the seventh old lady of the Gu family, not to mention that in this family, only he can come back.
And Gu Shinuo didn't know where to go at this time, Gu Meinuo was very anxious, the seventh old lady of the Gu family was seriously ill, so he, the eldest grandson of the seventh house, could rush back, that is, he would have to go back no matter what. As for what Grandma Gu said about walking with him, he would not allow it, on such a cold day, she was running outside with him.
Gu Meinuo quietly inquired about the news with people who had a good relationship in the official mansion, and he wanted to go with the people in the official mansion who specially sent urgent messages. But he was warned, and the man told him to take a break from talking about it in the future. The man looked at his disappointed expression, and he couldn't bear to whisper to him.
An ordinary person like him is a person who can't keep up with the news from the government no matter what, and he will block the progress of others. Gu Meinuo is not an uninteresting person, after he was reminded, a thin cold sweat appeared on his face. He quickly thanked and apologized, saying, "Thanks to you, the person who met you today would have made a mistake out of ignorance." ”
The man looked at him with a smile and said, "You are just filial piety, and for a while, you didn't think too much about it." Gu Meinuo naturally understands his level, he can't go through the official road, and at most he can only send urgent letters to people with heavy money. Gu Meinuo was full of anxiety, he still wanted to do a better job in filial piety, but God was obviously unwilling to give him such a great opportunity.
Grandma Gu Da Young looked at Gu Meinuo's rapid weight loss, she was in a hurry and didn't dare to speak easily. She said to Ji Anning in private: "If my grandfather and grandmother treat the little ten brothers kindly, I will still feel very relieved to see him like this." But in the eyes of those two old men, there have never been only sons and grandchildren, and there have never been two grandchildren.
I just think it's a little too unworthy for your brother to think about them like this. Ji Anning understands Grandma Gu's intentions very much, she will never be able to be sincere in filial piety to the old lady Ji, in the past, in her mother's house, looking at the face of the two uncles and her father, she is willing to listen to them and be filial to the old lady of the Ji family in face.
Ji Anning thought of Ji Jieyue because of this, in her letter not long ago, she mentioned the old lady Ji to her for some reason, and she told her with some feelings, now that she can finally look at the old lady of the Ji family with a normal heart. She sometimes misses the old-fashioned old grandfather, and misses the clear grievances he has with his children and grandchildren.
Ji Anning understood what she meant very well, Ji Shuli specially explained to her that the husband's family that Ji Jieyue married was only a medium-sized family in the capital, but the rules of this portal were quite good, and the children in the family had good conduct, especially the family rule that no children were allowed to accept concubines at thirty, which was considered to have entered the hearts of many people.
The Ji family's choice of such a family for Ji Jieyue can be regarded as well-intentioned. In such a family, a little daughter-in-law like Ji Jieyue with a simple experience has to face a group of advanced family members, she has too many places to learn, and no one can help her, so she can only slowly grope forward. Fortunately, the elders of the Ji family, when teaching women, have always guided them to keep a low profile.
Ji Anning believes that in such a family, with Ji Jieyue's character, as long as her husband is good, her life will slowly get better. Ji Anning believes in the vision of Ji Shuzheng and his wife, they will not compromise Ji Jieyue. Because of Ji Anning's reply, she naturally described to Ji Jieyue that the four seasons in Yancheng are distinct.
Ji Anning felt that compared to the old lady of the Ji family, the seventh old lady of the Gu family and his wife looked a little passable, at least they had brothers and sisters-in-law on their heads to suppress them, and they still had scruples about some things. Grandma Gu Da Young was only afraid that she would understand this in her heart, she was just worried that the seventh old lady of the Gu family would take the opportunity to give someone to Gu Meinuo.
Ji Anning sighed very much and said to Gu Da Shao's grandmother: "Sister-in-law, my brother is a gentleman, I heard that my grandfather and grandmother are seriously ill, so don't you worry." Alas, it's a pity that the children are too young, the wind and snow are so big, and the road is so far. Otherwise, we would have to hurry back to serve the two old men in a hurry. ”
Grandma Gu looked at Ji Anning with a smile and nodded, "Yes." "Since General Ma's family affairs have spread one after another, they have been very careful when they speak. The two looked at each other, there were people in the family in the officialdom, and they still had to be cautious in what they said and did.
Grandma Gu now feels that in the activities in Yan City, she still has to learn from Ji Anning, and she should not move around easily. Gu Meinuo whispered to Gu Da Shao's grandmother in private: "In the future, my younger brother is only afraid of a great future. With such a quiet temperament as her younger siblings, she does not like to socialize with others, but is the best protection. ”
Grandma Gu looked at Ji Anning, who looked quiet, and she said with a smile: "Fortunately, the tenth brother is coming back, and our family will be lively." Your brother really can't find a way back to serve the two old men, so he can only ask someone to send a letter back to explain the reason. "Grandma Gu has already made up her mind, she will follow Gu Meinuo home no matter what.
Grandma Gu's life is so comfortable now, she will not give anyone a chance to ruin her life. Ji Anning looked at Gu Da Shao's grandmother's expression, she was very grateful to the two uncles for thinking so thoughtfully for her before, with that document in hand, as long as Gu Shinuo was unintentional, he had the right to refuse the gift of the elders in the family.
After Gu Meinuo was busy for several days, all the dart teams in Yancheng told him that in such bad weather, it was easy for wicked people to get in the way, and they would not gamble their lives to double the silver taels. Gu Meinuo could only go home disappointed, and most of the people who came to Yancheng witnessed Gu Meinuo's anxiety and filial piety.
Gu Meinuo could feel the comfort of everyone, and he was very moved in his heart, in the end, people's hearts were still warm. He turned back to Grandma Gu and sighed and said: "The reason why I went back is because I know that my father can't bear the heavy responsibility, and with me, at least our family's seven rooms will not look weak." ”
Grandma Gu was a little disapproving, she smiled and said: "Husband, I heard that my father was also a person with the demeanor of a beautiful jade gentleman back then, how can he not be able to bear the heavy responsibility now?" You and the little ten brothers are so good, it proves that my father's mind must be quite adaptable. ”
Gu Meinuo was embarrassed to tell his wife that in the years after Gu Qi got married, all his wisdom and talents were used to make the old concubine happy. And now, according to the news from the younger brother in the family, he has put a lot of effort into making the young merchant girl happy.
Gu Meinuo felt that the biggest achievement of Gu Qi in his life was not how many children he had, but that he coaxed the limelight of the two concubines far better than the main room. (To be continued.) )
