This happened, and Zhu Zhongjun resigned to the Queen Mother the next day and wanted to leave the palace.

This time, the Queen Mother did not keep them again.

The Queen Mother reflected that she was indeed too fond of Zhu Zhongjun's children.

This favor made King Jin jealous.

In the long run, there was resentment.

The Queen Mother decided to alienate Zhu Zhongjun's family for a few points.

The child's jealousy, without concealment, came out; And other people's jealousy may be hidden deep in the bottom of their hearts and not revealed.

****

These days, Gu Jinzhi's discomfort in the early stages of pregnancy has slowly faded.

She had a little morning sickness every morning, but it didn't affect her state throughout the day.

She's very energetic.

Zhu Zhongjun sent a letter to Luzhou and asked Chen Dingwen to lead people north.

Chen Dingwen worked day and night, and hurried to the capital.

On the first day of February, Chen Dingwen arrived.

In addition to asking him to arrange the defense of the annex, Zhu Zhongjun also gave him an important task: to teach the children to practice martial arts.

In this way, Yan Shan and Yan Ying have something to do, so that they don't bother Gu Jinzhi every day, and Gu Jinzhi has time to raise the fetus with peace of mind.

Gu Jinzhi was very satisfied with this arrangement.

The children were not in front of her, and she spent almost every day with her mother.

Song Paner also resigned from all social interactions and stayed with Gu Jin all day long.

It's the third day of February, and it's a good day to get around.

Gu Xiuzhi set off today and returned to Yanling Mansion.

The day before leaving, Gu Jinzhi gave him a silver ticket of 1,000 taels, and as Cheng Yi, he gave him a letter of recommendation, which was a handwritten letter from the famous Confucian Cheng Surong.

Cheng Surong once won three yuan in a row, and his reputation among scholars was very high.

Sanyuan refers to the first place in the township examination, the meeting examination, and the palace examination.

This is the best genius that only comes out in hundreds of years.

With his recommendation, Gu Xiu traveled south, and he could visit many famous Confucians to increase his reputation and fame, and he could also learn some experience.

Gu Xiuzhi happily accepted the recommendation, but refused to ask Cheng Yi. He said, "Daddy and Mother have already given enough silver taels. The seventh sister doesn't have to break the bank. ”

"Parents belong to parents, and the seventh sister belongs to the seventh sister." Gu Jinzhi said with a smile, "Besides, Seventh Sister is not short of money. Don't be swaggering along the way, but don't save when it's time to eat and stay. ”

Gu Xiuzhi repeatedly refused.

Song Pan'er said on the side: "...... What your seventh sister gave you, you will take. On the way, I have to take some gifts to the door, and I have to use money everywhere. Moreover, when you return to Yanling Mansion, you will go to see Aunt Hong. Buy some gifts to go over. ”

Gu Xiuzhi was surprised. looked at Song Paner in disbelief.

He couldn't be sure if Song Pan'er was lying or sincere.

He looked up stealthily. glanced at Song Paner.

Song Pan'er smiled a little.

Gu Xiu's way is.

Then, he kowtowed to Song Paner.

Brother Xiu'er was about to leave Beijing, and Song Paner asked him to go to the uncle and the second uncle to talk to the uncle and the second uncle.

The second uncle didn't say anything. I only told him to have a safe journey.

The uncle asked: "If you don't study at home, what are you going to Yanling Mansion for?" ”

The uncle also said that he was born in a career and took reading more seriously. But none of the heirs of the family love to read, including his son. Only Gu Xiuzhi is okay and is willing to take reading as his own responsibility.

Uncle has never talked to Gu Xiuzhi, and he doesn't want Gu Xiuzhi to be proud and complacent, but he pays close attention to this nephew in his heart.

Now that I heard that he was going on a long journey, I couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

“…… The nephew remembered the establishment of a gentleman. Read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles, so I want to travel south, visit the famous Confucians in the south of the Yangtze River, and give guidance to education. Gu Xiuzhi said respectfully.

The uncle listened and didn't speak for a long time.

He did not agree with Gu Xiuzhi's behavior.

But Gu Xiuzhi's words. There is some truth to it.

After a while, the uncle said coldly: "In this case, let's go." ”

Gu Xiuzhi could also find out the uncle's dissatisfaction.

He was a bit disappointed and went home.

By the third day of February, Gu Xiuzhi's bags had been packed. Song Pan'er sent him a steward who was a little old and had seen the world, and sent two clever servants to take care of Gu Xiuzhi along the way.

Gu Yanzhen and Brother Xuan sent Gu Xiuzhi all the way to Tongzhou.

****

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the husband of Xiao Shi and Xiao Shi has already gone to the house to sit in the house, and the brothers have to get up early every day to study, and lunch is also in the outer courtyard, and they eat with the husband; Father and Brother Xuan sent Gu Xiu to not return, and Song Paner was a little lonely.

Gu Jinzhi accompanied her.

During this period, some people also came to visit Song Paner.

Song Paner is not arrogant, almost everyone will see it.

She also went out to visit other people.

Gu Jinzhi was able to take the time to go home to see the child.

But most of the time, Song Paner was at home and took care of Yanshao for Gu Jinzhi.

Song Paner also often turns over the yellow calendar.

There are no good days in February, so when she marries Brother Xuan, it will be March at the earliest.

Gu Jinzhi had some words, but he didn't know how to speak a few times.

She saw that her mother was no longer so harsh on Gu Xiuzhi, and her personality was a lot gentler, and she didn't know if Brother Xuan'er could tell her directly.

The girl from the Cai family that Brother Xuan fancied had already made a marriage. She was married to a person from Jiangnan. The student's surname is Fang, called Yu Yu, born in Zhejiang Wang, he has been quite famous since he was a child, and he is the Xie Yuan of the Zhejiang Township Test.

Enke was not banned before, and that Fang Yuyu was the student with the highest voice for this year's champion.

Many powerful families have wooed him when he has not yet won the champion.

Somehow, he took a fancy to Cai Wei.

The Cai family does not have a title, and someone once served as a third-grade official, and among the nobles in Beijing, he is lonely.

Cai Wei can stand out among the crowd and be favored by Fang Yuxuan, Gu Jinzhi thinks that she must be a beautiful woman.

And she is so bold to contact Brother Xuan for so many years without being discovered, she should also be smart and means.

I don't know if she changed her mind when she heard that Brother Xuan was going to talk to the Zou family, or if she always chose Brother Xuan as a spare tire.

As Brother Xuan's sister, Gu Jinzhi would rather be the first.

Brother Xuan didn't know.

This matter, neither the Cai family nor Fang Yuyu made a big deal about it, and they probably mentioned it after the palace test list was released. In this way, the title of the gold list and the candle in the cave house are excellent gimmicks.

Not many people know now, but Gu Jinzhi's third sister-in-law knows.

So, the last time Gu Jinzhi asked her, she said that she didn't have a cousin who was unmarried.

And Brother Xuan. He certainly didn't know.

He must be full of confidence in Cai Wei, thinking that no one can break up the love with Cai Wei since he was a child. He thought that Cai Wei would definitely be loyal to him.

Now that Chunfu has been banned, I heard that the Cai family is going to marry Cai Wei in June.

This matter, sooner or later, has to be said.

"Mother, what if Brother Xuan doesn't like the girl from the Zou family?" Gu Jinzhi said again, she remembered this question, and she asked her mother once.

Her mother's answer. Same as last time: "What does Brother Xuan know?" Husband and wife. It's all about getting along slowly......"

Gu Jinzhi smiled.

Mother is already actively looking for a matchmaker.

And Cai Weiling married. It is also unchangeable.

On her mother's side, Gu Jinzhi didn't plan to say it.

Gu Jinzhi planned to talk to Brother Xuan in person.

On the eighth day of the second lunar month, Brother Xuan came back from Tongzhou, and Gu Jinzhi invited him to his home.

This thing. Sooner rather than later, she should sue him before others sue him.

Gu Jinzhi's words did not add oil and vinegar, and Brother Xuan could know about this matter more objectively.

Gu Jinzhi knew it before the Shangyuan Festival, but he was not sure in his heart, how to tell Brother Sù Xuan was appropriate.

Now that I think about it, there is no point in being fancy. The best thing to do is to tell the truth.

She was blunt and told Brother Xuan about Cai Wei: "...... Not much knew about it before. Nowadays, more people are knowing. You have to know that I will sue you. Even if Cai Wei and Fang Yuyu retreated. The mother is also reluctant to marry her, and it is impossible for the Cai family to withdraw from her family. Brother Xuan, this road is not going to work......"

Brother Xuan'er's eyes widened and he looked at Gu Jinzhi in astonishment.

He couldn't believe it.

Fang Yuyu has become famous in Beijing, and it has also been in the past few months, Brother Xuan has heard of it.

He always thinks that it is none of his business.

But in a blink of an eye, this kind of tragedy happened, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

"What...... What the? For a long time, his face was colorless, and he asked Gu Jinyi.

Gu Jinzhi repeated the words again.

Brother Xuan'er's face turned pale.

"Why?" Brother Xuan murmured meaninglessly, "How come? ”

Gu Jinzhi got up, walked to Brother Xuan'er and sat down, and held his hands.

"Brother Xuan, there is no grass at the end of the world......" Gu Jinzhi said.

Before she finished speaking, Brother Xuan stood up with a pout and broke free of Gu Jinzhi's hand.

He was at a loss, his lips were white, and he said in a little panic: "Seventh sister, I'll go out." ”

He didn't want to listen to Gu Jinzhi's comfort.

"You're going to Cai's house?" Gu Jinzhi asked him.

Brother Xuan didn't answer, just looked outside.

The guards blocked the way.

Gu Jinzhi followed, pulled his arm, and said, "Brother Xuan, don't be confused. The matter of the Cai family's girl's marriage is already a cook. If you come to the door and make a fuss, not only will you become a joke, but she will also be suspected of being unchaste. Do you think, will your mother allow you to marry her?

Even if your mother loves you, your uncle and aunt won't allow you to spoil your style like this. You go to the door now, you can't marry her, and you ruin her marriage, are you going to force her to death? ”

Brother Xuan suddenly stopped.

His eyes became unfocused, and he just muttered, "I'm not going to kill her." It's her, she's going to kill me....... why is she trying to kill me? ”

His voice grew louder.

Gu Jinzhi twisted it the back of his hand.

It may be that the pain is terrible, Brother Xuan came back to his senses, and his eyes finally became a little focused.

He looked at Gu Jinzhi, and tears welled up: "Seventh sister, I can't believe it." Don't all the promises in this world count? ”

"Promises, it's all bullshit." Gu Jinzhi said rudely, "If you want to live well, you need to look at a man's future and family." Brother Xuan, the Cai family's sister-in-law is a smart person. She's not bad, you're not wrong, you're not fated, you have to accept this reality......"

Brother Xuan'er's tears burst out of his eyes.

He shook off Gu Jinzhi's hand and ran out.

Gu Jinzhi asked the guards to follow and did not allow him to leave the house.

The guards soon came back and said that Brother Xuan had returned to his yard.

He locked himself in the house.
