Section 412 thoughts

The maid played the curtain for Gu Chenzhi.

A cold wind also crept in, and soon it was mixed with the heating in the house, and it became unpleasant.

"I was going to see you at your annex yesterday, but I was afraid that you would not be at home. I thought, you have just left the palace, and there are a lot of people, but I am afraid that I will not be able to keep busy. I thought about going hastily and disturbing you. You're here today. It's really inadvertent," Gu Chenzhi laughed.

He took off the soaked big hat, handed it to the grandmother on the side, and sat down on the kang himself.

The robe inside is also damp.

Sideburns can drip water droplets.

The snow outside was too heavy.

"Mine isn't. I should have come over yesterday, but my mother was going out to pay New Year's greetings, and the prince was not at home, and the children were only handed over to the nurse, and I was not at ease, so I took the children at home all day. Gu Jinzhi explained with a smile.

Seeing that Gu Chenzhi had already sat down and was about to speak first, she said again, "Big brother, your clothes and hair are wet, it's better to go and change your clothes first, don't get caught in the cold." It's a very cold day, and it's not easy to get well when you get caught in the wind cold."

Gu Chenzhi also felt a slight coolness sink in from the top of his head.

Walking all the way, he only cared about making progress into the yard, and he didn't even hold an umbrella. The snow is poured on the head, melted into the green silk, and so that it has all turned into cold water, slowly allowing the scalp to penetrate.

If you have a cold on your head, you are most likely to get sick, Gu Chenzhi knows it.

He didn't recklessly, and said with a smile: "Then the seventh sister will sit down again, and I will come when I go." ”

The eldest grandmother, Lin Manjing, also got up with a smile.

Gu Chenzhi and the eldest grandmother went back to the room to change clothes first.

Gu Jinzhi took the opportunity to say to the eldest lady: "Auntie, I have to go to the second aunt and the third sister-in-law to sit in the afternoon."

"Knowing that you are busy, I won't delay you, I will let the kitchen open half an hour early." The eldest lady smiled, "Your third sister-in-law also thinks about you from time to time." ”

Gu Jin thanked him.

Then she asked her aunt, "How is your uncle doing?" The prince also wanted to come to the uncle to pay New Year's greetings, but he was afraid that the uncle would have a complicated personnel and would not have time to see him. ”

"Where?" The eldest aunt said, "The prince is the most expensive guest." Your uncle also said that he would go to pay you New Year's greetings. ”

Gu Jinzhi smiled and said, go back and let the prince come over to greet the uncle first.

And then. She asked her second sister Gu Yuezhi again.

The second sister who married into the Tang family is the only daughter of the eldest aunt. She seems to be doing well.

"She's fine. Her father-in-law died the year before last, and now your brother-in-law has attacked Chuan Ningbo, and asked your second sister to be named Mrs. Decree, and also asked for the son of the child. "The eldest aunt said.

Gu Jinzhi nodded.

She remembered her second sister's father-in-law, who was the best at dealing with people.

Her mother-in-law, on the other hand, is short-lived.

"The second sister's in-laws, Mrs. Tai, is she still healthy?" Gu Jinzhi asked.

"She is healthy, and now she eats fasting and recites Buddha, and she doesn't care about anything at home." The eldest aunt said.

Talking. After Gu Chenzhi changed his clothes. Soon it folded back again.

Gu Jinzhi and his aunt's homely conversation was interrupted.

He and Gu Jinzhi are not strange. As soon as we meet, there will be topics to talk about.

He first asked Gu Jinzhi if she had a good time in Luzhou in the past few years, the prince was good to her, and how Gu Jinzhi's children waited for family trivialities, chatting and chatting. The conversation then turned to various medical cases.

Gu Chenzhi has accumulated prestige in the past seven years in the capital.

He was very hardworking and kept asking people for advice. The people in the Tai Hospital all looked at Gu Yantao's face and were willing to teach him. Although Gu Chenzhi did not have an apprenticeship, he was also the director of the family.

His medical skills improved by leaps and bounds.

He himself also has a lot of profound insights, and he urgently needs a person with higher medical skills to learn from him.

He regarded Gu Jinzhi as that person.

The two talked about medicine for an hour, and the eldest lady and grandmother couldn't interject.

It was supposed to be half an hour early for lunch, but it was half an hour late.

After lunch. Both Gu Chenzhi and Gu Jinzhi are a little unsatisfied.

But after lunch, it was not just three o'clock.

In winter, it gets dark early, and it is a heavy snowy day, Gu Jinzhi wants to go back before it gets dark, and he wants to go to the third sister-in-law to talk. I had to say goodbye.

The eldest grandmother and Gu Chenzhi sent Gu Jinzhi to the door of the weeping flowers.

Gu Chenzhi still wanted to keep Gu Jinzhi talking.

Gu Jinzhi said: "I probably won't leave Beijing this year." When we're free, we're talking. ”

Gu Chenzhi was slightly surprised, glanced at her, and asked, "Don't you leave Beijing, are you and the prince?" ”

"The prince went back" Gu Jin's way.

Gu Chenzhi still had to ask, Gu Jinzhi had already bowed and said goodbye.

After Gu Jinzhi left, the eldest grandmother asked Gu Chenzhi: "What does the seventh sister mean when she says that she will not leave Beijing this year?" Do they also want to be like King Jian's mansion, and stay in the capital? ”

Gu Chenzhi glanced at her, he didn't like the word "Lai" very much for his grandmother. If he doesn't like it, he doesn't like it, and he can't talk about his wife or anything about a trivial matter, so he just shook his head and said, "How do I know?" Let's go back and ask her again."

Gu Chenzhi didn't care much about the affairs of the imperial court, he really didn't know.

The eldest grandmother didn't ask any more.

The couple went back to their room.

The children's nurse showed the purse that Gu Jinzhi gave to the children to the grandmother.

In each of Gu Jinzhi's purses, there are four eight-leaf peach blossoms made of gold. The eight-leaf peach blossom has small holes on the edge, which can be played alone or worn as jewelry.

The petals are as thin as cicada wings, and you can even faintly see the subtle tremor in the breeze, like a new bloom. This lifelike craftsmanship has caught up with the best goldsmiths in Beijing.

The eldest grandmother couldn't put it down, her mouth was amazed, she looked at it for a moment, and said, "This is too precious." There are such good goldsmiths in Luzhou."

"It's rare and weird, and there are many craftsmen with high craftsmanship in the market." Gu Chenzhi said, "Things are precious, but Luzhou is rich, and the seventh sister has always been generous, and she can also take it." She gave it to the children, and you can keep it for them. When the seventh sister and children come over, you will also back up and send back the generous gifts. ”

Big Grandma said yes.

She asked the eldest girl to put away the gift given by Gu Jinzhi carefully, and said: "After the New Year, I am worried that there are no good things for Sister Xi'er." I've got this now."

She's in a good mood.

When her mind turned back from the jewelry, the grandmother thought of something again.

She hesitated, and asked Gu Chenzhi tentatively: "You said, Seventh Sister, she gave birth to three sons in a row, but what is the secret recipe?" ”

Gu Chenzhi's face suddenly froze.

The eldest grandmother knew that she had asked something she shouldn't have asked.

This topic is a taboo for their husband and wife.

gave birth to five daughters in a row. The eldest grandmother Lin Manjing was under a lot of pressure, and Gu Chenzhi was the same.

Gu Chenzhi's pressure was even heavier, but the eldest grandmother didn't know it.

Gu Chenzhi is Gu Yantao's only son.

If he Gu Chenzhi doesn't have a son, their vein will be broken.

Before leaving, the old man left two last words, one was that Gu's daughter would marry the second time, and the other was that only forty childless concubines could be accepted.

Gu Chenzhi has already burned the ancestral training of "women do not marry twice", which has caused a lot of trouble for his father Gu Yantao, and people still say that Gu's son is not filial.

Filial piety is the foundation of loyalty.

Unfilial piety is disloyalty, and non-filial sons cannot be loyal ministers. This is the mainstream concept of the whole society.

Disloyalty and unfilial piety. A man's foothold in society is simply gone.

Gu Chenzhi burned the ancestral training. remarried for the fourth sister Gu Shanzhi, and fought for Gu Shanzhi, but let the Gu family and Gu Yantao be attacked so far. When other younger brothers become officials in the future, they will definitely be affected.

It's too bad.

Even if Gu Yantao is in a high position again. The Gu family has a reputation of "unfilial piety", and they will be ridiculed by the world, and the children will rarely be valued by the emperor.

The consequences of this incident are irreparable.

Therefore, Gu Chenzhi did not dare to burn the second one.

His father, Gu Yantao, did not dare to disobey.

The father was dissatisfied with Lin Manjing's inability to give birth to a son, but it was not good to openly violate the ancestral teachings and take a concubine for Gu Chenzhi. Therefore, Gu Chenzhi can resist for a while. It's just that he's thirty-six. Four more years. and he turned forty.

When the time comes, he doesn't want to take a concubine, not only his father, but also his mother, who has always supported him, will not agree.

However, Gu Chenzhi really didn't want to take a concubine.

That's one of his pressures.

His relationship with Lin Manjing. Non-ordinary couples can be compared.

He didn't want to hurt Lin Manjing's heart and make the relationship between husband and wife uncomfortable. What is the meaning of life without a person who loves each other deeply in the depths of his soul? Gu Chenzhi has always believed in this way.

His father did not have any concubines, so his mother lived more comfortably.

This had a great impact on Gu Chenzhi.

He has never loved money and power, and he doesn't care about fame, status, wine, and beauty.

He just wants a warm and harmonious family.

People always have the same pursuit. To put it bigger, Gu Chenzhi wants to help the world and save the people; To put it mildly, Gu Chenzhi wants to love his wife and daughter, be filial to his parents, and love his brothers and sisters.

If Lin Manjing doesn't give birth to a son again, this harmony will be forcibly broken.

Therefore, when the topic of his son is mentioned every day, Gu Chenzhi has a headache.

"I remember that the seventh sister once said that whether or not you can give birth to a boy has nothing to do with women. It's the man's fault. "Gu Chen's way. Between his eyebrows, there was a slight pain, "Seventh Sister has never said that she missed it." Back then, she said that Yuan Yuye couldn't have children, and the fourth sister was fine. The Yuan family has been in trouble for so many years, and finally the fourth sister remarried and gave birth to two sons in one go, which shows that Yuan Yuye has a problem. ”

"Nonsense." Lin Manjing grabbed her husband's hand tightly, "A woman is pregnant with a child in her belly, can she give birth to a man, is it a woman who is not angry, how can it be your fault?" ”

Gu Chenzhi held his wife's hand instead, not wanting to argue about this issue anymore.

He was also a little skeptical of Gu Jinzhi's point of view.

Because he can't understand the cause and effect in between.

"Or, you can ask Seventh Sister another day to see if she has a good solution." After a moment of silence, Lin Manjing said cautiously, "Seventh Sister's medical skills may be above you." If she says no, I'll die too."

Her plump and beautiful face was covered with dark clouds.

Gu Chenzhi's heart was also uncomfortable.

He had to agree first, and said, "Okay, I'll ask her next time." Let's plan ahead. I thought about it, and at the end of this year, I told my father and mother that the second child of the third brother's family would be passed under my name, and I would raise him as a son. ”

Lin Manjing was silent and did not answer.
