After Gu Jinzhi wrote a reply to King Jian's mansion and had breakfast with Zhu Zhongjun, he went over from the corner gate and went to Gu's house to be Song Paner's company.

Song Pan'er took Gu Jinzhi's hand and asked her, "Is the maid and lady of the annex calling conveniently?" How is the cook's craft? ”

She was worried that Gu Jinzhi was not used to eating and living.

Gu Jinzhi said with a smile: "I only ate two meals over there, the food was delicious, and the cook was probably transferred from the palace to serve; The maids, except for Qiu Yu and Konoha who are the old men of the annex, the others are carefully selected, and no one is unsatisfied. ”

When Song Pan'er heard this, her heart moved.

A hand-picked maid?

Will anyone take the opportunity to put eyeliner in the palace?

Even if you choose it yourself, you don't feel at ease, let alone someone else?

If you are not your own, how can you rest assured?

Song Pan'er glanced at her room full of maids, and said to Gu Jinzhi and Zhu Zhongjun with a smile: "The cook said that the maids have not served since childhood, but I am afraid that it will not be easy, and the people with you will go to Luzhou again." There are many people I serve here, and there is no shortage of one or two, so why don't you bring the begonias over......"

Haitang is the first person next to Song Paner, which is equivalent to Song Paner's right-hand man.

Zhu Zhongjun has been in the Gu family for many years, knows the situation, and it is not easy to win people's love, so he was about to refuse, when he heard Gu Jin's words: "Okay, thank you." Sister Begonia passed, and I was a hundred happy. I thought that my mother relied on her for everything here, and I didn't dare to speak. Since my mother said it, I'm not welcome. ”

Song Pan'er smiled, called Haitang forward, and asked her to kowtow to Gu Jinzhi: "You go over to serve for a few days first......

Begonia is the most clever and sees Song Paner's expression in her eyes. Naturally, she understood Song Pan'er's intentions, and hurriedly came over to kowtow to Gu Jinzhi, and said, "The blessings that the slave and maid have cultivated for several generations can serve the prince and princess?" Thank you for your love and love. ”

Gu Jinzhi hurriedly called her up.

After being polite to each other, they decided that Begonia would go to the palace annex to take care of them for a few days.

Begonia's errand, Song Paner asked all of them to be handed over to Peony and Aofu.

Begonia, peony, Nianlu, and Aofu are the four big girls that Song Paner cultivated single-handedly.

When sending Gu Jinzhi to get married, Nian Lu followed him to Luzhou. Song Paner said in her early years that she would call Gu Jinzhi in the future.

Now Begonia is also serving Gu Jinzhi, the most powerful one by Song Paner's side. Only Peony, Aofu and Mu Qing remained.

Mu Qing was the girl rewarded by the eldest lady a few years ago.

Although Mu Qing's ability is comparable to that of Begonia. Far above Peony and Aofu, but everything comes first and comes later, and it is impossible for Mu Qing to cross Peony and Aofu.

Begonia leaves temporarily, and Peony and Aofu share Begonia's errand. Mu Qing's errand remains the same.

A few maids immediately retreated. Explain to each other.

Mu Qing stayed in front of him to serve.

Gu Jinzhi raised his eyes. I didn't see Mother Song, so I asked my mother curiously: "Mother Song, I didn't see her last night......"

Song Paner sighed. Said: "I have contracted the wind and cold, and I have been sick for three or four days. Her body is getting worse day by day. She didn't have any energy, so I simply told her to rest, don't come to you, the sickness rushed at you. ”

Song's mother is Song Paner's nurse and is very caring. She was sick, Song Paner was very reluctant, and she had to ask for medical medicine in person.

It was Qin Shensi who was invited.

Qin Shensi said that Song's mother was fine, but it was just a little cold, and Song Paner was relieved.

"Mother Song is also old, I should have let her go out to enjoy her life a few years ago, and she would have taken care of me in vain." Song Paner sighed with Gu Jinzhi, "It's just that she has been with me for many years, and I am always reluctant to let her go." If you stay like this, you will stay for so many years. ”

Children of this era are born with nurses.

Song Paner grew up eating Song's mother's milk.

From babbling to today, Mother Song is by her side, and it is normal for people to be reluctant.

“…… Let Mother Song go to Zhuangzi or go back to Yanling Mansion, although there are people to serve, it is not as good as talking to you in front of you. She's hilarious, and so are you. Gu Jinzhi smiled, "I think this is a grace." Mother Song must be reluctant to leave. ”

Mother Song is in the house and is the chief steward of this inner courtyard.

went out, she was cold, and there was a big gap in her heart, but it was not good. In previous lives, many elderly people were not in good spirits after retirement.

In the eyes of people of this age, fifty years old is already very old; In the eyes of Gu Jinzhi and Zhu Zhongjun, fifty years old is the golden age.

"You're right." Song Paner said with a smile.

The topic shifted from Song's mother to Gu Jinzhi's younger brothers.

Gu Jinzhi and Song Pan'er talked about homely things, Gu Jinzhi was afraid that Zhu Zhongjun would be bored, so he interrupted his mother's words first, and turned to Zhu Zhongjun and said, "It's better for the prince to go out for a walk." It doesn't matter where to eat at noon, we will wait for you to eat in the evening. ”

When Zhu Zhongjun heard this, he couldn't wait.

He's not bored, he's got something to do.

He got up and greeted Song Pan'er: "Mother-in-law, the son-in-law will go to ask his father-in-law for peace first." ”

Song Paner nodded.

After Zhu Zhongjun left, Song Paner and Gu Jinzhi chatted further.

"A few days ago, Mrs. Hu came to sit in front of me, and when she talked about their children, Hu Jie was eighteen years old, and her family affairs had not yet been decided, and she was sad to death." Song Paner's topic went from the children at home to the children of relatives and friends, and then she thought of Hu Jie.

Gu Jinzhi was also stunned.

She didn't expect that Hu Jie's marriage had been delayed so far.

"Don't have the right people?" Gu Jinzhi asked.

It is said that Hu Zeyu has done a good job in the Criminal Department. Now although he is only a fourth-rank official, he is connected with the Yongxi Marquis Mansion, and he is capable, and it is only a matter of time before he is promoted.

Mrs. Hu is a little shrewd, but people who are not familiar with her can't see it, they only feel that she is gentle and polite, and she is the most amiable.

Hu Jie is even more beautiful and dignified, and there is no bad word outside.

She is a well-behaved girl, why hasn't anyone said kiss so far?

"I listened to the meaning of Mrs. Hu's words, it was the Hou Mansion over there who took care of this matter. Mrs. Hu asked a few times, and Mrs. Hou over there said that there was no need to worry, they wanted to find a good family for Hu Jie. Song Pan'er's voice was slightly low.

The Hu family said that the Hou Mansion over there refers to the Hu family of the Yongxi Hou Mansion.

Hu Jie once cried and sued Gu Jinzhi. The mother next to Mrs. Marquis of Yongxi Mansion said that she wanted Hu Jie to be the steproom.

Then, the matter was over.

“…… There is no urgency over there, but Mrs. Hu is in a hurry. Song Pan'er continued, "You and Hu Jie were born on the same day, the same year, the same month, and the same day, and when she saw you coming out of the cabinet, she was even more anxious, and she couldn't help but bring out one or two in front of me." I asked a few more questions, and she sued me. ”

"Mother, why don't you be a matchmaker for Hu Jie?" Gu Jinzhi said with a smile. "The second cousin of the eldest uncle's family hasn't gotten married yet, right? He's been lifted. In a few days, we will arrive in the capital. Hu Jie is interested in her second cousin, and she is right. ”

Gu Jinzhi's uncle's two cousins were both selected for Xiucai three years ago.

In this year's township test, the eldest cousin's name fell to Sun Shan. The second cousin, Song Yanzhao, was lifted.

He is going to participate in the Spring Festival in February next year. The uncle and aunt were worried about delays on the road. or can't adapt to the water and soil in Beijing, after the township test list, let the second cousin go to Beijing and live in Gu's house temporarily. Adapt first, and then prepare for the exam with peace of mind, ready to win the jinshi in one fell swoop.

A few days before Gu Jinzhi's wedding, Song Paner received a letter from Yanling Mansion, and she was both happy and surprised.

At the beginning, even Song Paner said that Song Yanzhao's reading was a gag, who knew that he was so promising.

It's really unexpected.

"Nonsense." Song Pan'er said with a smile, "Your aunt is the most difficult to speak, and Mrs. Hu is not a fuel-efficient lamp, what am I mixing with?" ”

Gu Jinzhi was slightly silent.

She thought for a while, and then said: "Mother, Hu Ze is more than a thing in the pool, and sooner or later it will be developed." The second cousin got married to this family business, and he couldn't suffer a loss. ”

Song Paner was still reluctant.

"Your second cousin's marriage, wait for your uncle and your aunt to worry about it, let's meddle, it's thankless." Song Pan'er smiled, "You didn't like to mess with these things before, what's wrong now?" ”

"The prince often says that Hu Zeyu is good." Gu Jin said, "If our family befriends him and has a deeper relationship with him, maybe we will ...... in the future."

Gu Jinzhi's voice was very low.

Song Paner's heart jumped.

The vassal king was not allowed to befriend the king.

From the beginning of the dynasty to the present, there is no shortage of people who secretly interact with Jingchen. As soon as something happens, someone has to say something nice in front of the emperor.

This is the way to save your life.

Song Paner has always thought that in the future, the king of Luyang will rely on his uncle Gu Yantao.

But Gu Yantao's ambition is clearly not in King Luyang.

Better do it than wish it done. Secretly befriending some Jingchen with a little status now will not attract attention, and it can set up some guarantees for the future.

Gu Jinzhi's mind turned quickly.

“…… Also, your father is not an official, so who will you ask for the origin of your younger brothers in the future? Song Pan'er immediately misinterpreted Gu Jinzhi's words, "If Hu Zeyu can be developed, bring your second cousin." When the time comes, it will be easier for your second cousin to bring your younger brothers than your uncle. You have a lot of nobles. ”

Gu Jinzhi smiled knowingly.

"Your second cousin should be here these days." Song Pan'er smiled, "I'll go tomorrow to find out Mrs. Hu's tone." ”

"Why tomorrow?" Gu Jinzhi smiled, "You go now." ”

Song Pan'er was also anxious, how could she stand Gu Jinzhi's pampering?

She really went in to change her clothes, took the maid Muqing, and went to the Hu family.

Gu Jinzhi went back to the palace annex.

Begonia went back with her.

Gu Jinzhi introduced Begonia to Qiu Yu and Konoha: "...... Sister Begonia has served my mother since she was a child, and she is the most diligent in her work, so you can learn more from Sister Begonia. ”

These words are to imply that the autumn rain and Konoha will be in charge of begonias in the future.

How dare Qiu Yu and Konoha have an opinion? Both of them hurriedly came to salute Begonia and called out to their sister.

Begonia also returned the gift.

Before it was time for lunch, Gu Jinzhi picked up the book and read it for a while.

Begonias serve on the side.

Autumn Rain and Konoha follow behind Begonia.

The other little maids and Begonia were sent to do some rough work, and they were not allowed to enter the inner room.

As if Gu Jinzhi suddenly remembered something, he put down the book and said to Haitang: "I remembered that there was something to say to Mrs. You go to the mansion over there, arrange a carriage, and ask the secretary to follow, and I will also go to the Hu family. ”

Begonia was slightly surprised.

How do you go out and use the carriage in the house over there?

But she didn't hesitate at all, hurriedly said yes, turned around and left.

Both Autumn Rain and Konoha bowed their heads and didn't dare to say anything.
