Gu Jinzhi and a few people accompanied the eldest lady and Mrs. Yuan for lunch.

During the meal, Gu Pozhi, the fifth girl who was doing needlework in the house, also came out.

Together with her grandmother, she stood in front of the desk, looking gentle and quiet.

Gu Jinzhi was stunned.

And the third grandmother is not surprised, Gu Jinzhi knows that the fifth sister is often like this.

She was even more surprised.

She hung her head and disguised her affection.

When I looked up again, I found that the fifth sister was looking at her, and she looked at her inexplicably.

After lunch, Gu Jinzhi wanted to get up and say goodbye.

She knew the purpose of Mrs. Yuan's coming, and it was more appropriate to let Mrs. Yuan talk to Mrs. Yuan alone.

The eldest lady did not leave her in vain, and said to the eldest grandmother and the third grandmother: "You send Sister Jin." ”

Grandma is going to get up.

The third grandmother was quick-eyed, grabbed the eldest grandmother, and said to the eldest lady with a smile: "Auntie, under the sun, you will let the seventh sister go back?" The heat broke her. Wait for the first day to be softer, and then send the seventh sister. ”

The grandmother couldn't hold back a laugh and sat back.

The eldest lady had long known what the two daughters-in-law were thinking.

Seeing that they insisted on refusing to go, the eldest lady was no longer reluctant.

Gu Jinzhi laughed and laughed.

She had to sit back down.

Gu Pozhi was very well-behaved, and he went back to the pavilion to do his work.

The eldest lady nodded in satisfaction.

Everyone sat down again, and the maid served tea.

Mrs. Yuan kept smiling.

It wasn't until everyone sat down that she reopened her mouth and said something trivial.

turned over from the earth dragon and talked about the building and storage ceremony.

Speaking of the building and storage ceremony. Naturally, we talked about the newly built Prince's Mansion.

“…… I heard that the attendants of the prince's mansion said that they should use the Shujishi of the Hanlin Academy. The emperor's meaning is that the young Shu Jishi is more self-motivated and can guide the prince. Mrs. Yuan said with a smile, "In the past few days, I have been talking about this matter everywhere, and Yuye has said it a few times when he goes home." ”

The third grandmother suddenly realized.

She finally understood what Mrs. Yuan had come to do.

The eldest grandmother frowned slightly, she was a little confused.

The eldest lady saw it in her eyes and sighed softly in her heart.

If only the eldest grandmother was half as clever and clever as the third grandmother. That's it......

As the eldest son. The big grandmother is more than loyal, not clever enough, and always has shortcomings.

"The fourth brother-in-law also wants to enter the Prince's Mansion?" The third grandmother knew that the eldest lady was embarrassed, so she pierced the window paper when she opened her mouth. Mrs. Yuan's Tai Chi can't go on. "How. The prince's attendant talked about how to choose, whether to take the essay exam, or to take the exam in front of the Taihe Palace? ”

Mrs. Yuan smiled. "Neither." It was recommended by the people of the Ministry of Officials, and four or five people were recommended, and the emperor personally selected ......"

"I see." The third grandmother didn't wait for the eldest lady to speak, and answered, "The fourth brother-in-law is very talented, if he can serve the prince, it will also be a place for him to show his talent." However, according to me, such a talented fourth brother-in-law, if he is put down to be a county official, but for the benefit of the people, he is the real pillar of the country. ”

This made Mrs. Yuan's indifferent expression unbearable.

What is the purpose of the Yuan family's camp?

Yuan Yuye studied so hard and passed the test, and today, there is a foreigner like the Gu family, and he is put outside to be a petty official, isn't it a failure?

Mrs. Yuan originally planned to let Yuan Yuye stay in the Sixth Division.

Now, there is the beauty of the princess's attendant.

As long as the Gu family makes a little effort, there is no suspense that the number of places for the prince's mansion to speak will fall on Yuan Yuye's head.

"Loyal to the monarch to protect the state, loyal to the monarch first." Mrs. Yuan smiled and said to the third grandmother, "I can be a waiter for the prince, accompany the prince to study, and it is not in vain that I have studied hard for all these years, and I can finally contribute to the prince......

"yes." The third grandmother said, "It turns out that you want the fourth brother-in-law to be the prince's attendant?" ”

Mrs. Yuan was stunned.

The third grandmother spoke quickly and straightly, like a ball, crackling.

Mrs. Yuan is accustomed to being slow and in control of the situation.

She knew that the third grandmother was Xia Shoufu's granddaughter, and she was also jealous of her. So the third grandmother was so anxious to ask, so Mrs. Yuan took it smoothly and said what she was thinking so bluntly.

“…… Yesterday, Sister Shan came back and talked about it for a long time, and I didn't understand what she meant, so I just said that I should go and see my mother. The eldest lady understood at this time, and then slowly spoke, "It turns out that you mean, let her go and dredge with the mother?" ”

Mrs. Yuan's scalp is slightly numb.

The eldest lady asked this too tricky.

If Mrs. Yuan admits that she uses her daughter-in-law, the Gu family, or even her mother, she will be sure.

If he denies it, he will put the blame on Gu Shan's head. The Gu family must have thought that Mrs. Yuan would hide if she had something to do, and let her daughter-in-law stand up to the thunder.

No matter how you answer, you are all inferior.

Mrs. Yuan is a person who is not willing to fall behind.

She didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Admit it or deny it, it's not right.

"Since you have spoken, I'll talk to the eldest master." The eldest lady smiled and said, "You also know that the palace is not allowed to ask about court affairs, and letting the mother dredge it won't give her a problem?" The eldest lord is worried again. He has not been in the court for so long, although he has been crowned the crown prince and prince, it is just a false position. Whether his words can be used or not depends on Yuye's fate. If my in-laws dislike it, I don't dare to say it. ”

Mrs. Yuan had mixed feelings in her heart.

She smiled a little forcefully: "What are you talking about?" We are grateful for your consideration of Yuye for this. You accept my salute. ”

As she spoke, she hurriedly got up and blessed the eldest lady.

She said that this was for the sake of Yuan Yuye, and said that her request for help from the Gu family was that the Gu family felt sorry for her niece and son-in-law and took the initiative to help.

The big grandmother now understands.

Hearing this, the eldest grandmother and the third grandmother had a slight expression on their faces.

The eldest lady's expression remained unchanged, and she said with a smile: "Isn't this how it should be?" Yuye is the son-in-law of the Gu family. You've spoken, and we're going to do our best. ”

The eldest lady punched her fist back again.

Gu Jinzhi felt that in this conversation, someone had to admit defeat. Otherwise, it's endless.

"Yes, thank you." Mrs. Yuan is very aware of current affairs, she admitted defeat first and did not continue to compete.

None of this is important compared to his son's future.

Mrs. Yuan wanted to make a gesture of marrying the Gu family rather than the Gu family, but now, the investment should be rewarded.

As a businessman, the Yuan family has no psychological burden.

Mrs. Yuan smiled kindly: "I asked Yuye to kowtow to you." ”

The eldest lady's expression was full of expression, and she said sternly: "Kowtow will be spared." The eldest lord and we are both straightforward personalities, what will happen to Yuye next time. Let him speak for himself. Let the daughter-in-law go back to her parents' house and say something that doesn't matter. It's not like reading the books of the sages. ”

Mrs. Yuan's face suddenly turned red.

######

After Mrs. Yuan left, the third grandmother said to the eldest lady: "Why is this little thing so troublesome?" ”

The eldest lady knew in her heart.

But there are some words. There's no need to say it.

She smiled faintly. said to the third grandmother: "The Yuan family wants to fight. Pull oneself up by one’s bootstraps. It's all trivial, and what does it do? ”

The third grandmother immediately understood.

The Yuan family wanted the Gu family to help, but they didn't want others to say that their family relied on their daughter-in-law's mother's family. This is looked down upon.

The third grandmother pouted.

"In the end, the fourth sister is too soft." The third grandmother said, "If she has a position and can distinguish right from wrong, why do you agree?" ”

She knew that the eldest lady finally agreed, not because she was looking at the Yuan family, but because she was afraid that Mrs. Yuan would ask Gu Shanzhi to beg someone else.

Be more passive when the time comes.

For the Gu family, it's just a gesture, so why bother to repay Gu Shanzhi's debt to people.

The eldest lady glanced at the third grandmother.

The third grandmother's brain turned quickly.

She walked ten steps, and the grandmother didn't finish a single step.

"Every man has his own life." The eldest lady smiled and said, "It's okay for your fourth sister to be like that." If others treat her well, she will be happy. Why do people live, not to be happier? Compared with people who are always dissatisfied, your fourth sister is so worry-free......"

The third grandmother nodded.

The eldest grandmother really didn't follow the train of thought of the eldest lady and the third grandmother, she didn't speak.

Gu Jinzhi didn't speak.

The eldest lady looked at the eldest grandmother and Gu Jinzhi, the two of them were silent, and couldn't help but smile again. One of them knows how to hide clumsy, and the other is naturally calm and doesn't say much.

Everyone in this family has a different personality.

Fortunately, they all have merit.

Just like Gu Shanzhi, she also has merits.

People don't need to be full of merit. As long as you have a little strength, you can live well.

In the evening, the eldest lady invited the eldest lady to the inner courtyard for dinner.

After dinner, she told the eldest master about Yuan Yuye.

The eldest master smiled and said, "I had this intention in my heart. Since the Yuan family also has this meaning, I will ask someone to say hello to the people in the ministry. In front of the emperor, I will also ask someone to reveal a thing or two. The emperor is most disgusted with the Tan family now, and he will use it for my people. ”

The eldest lady smiled with relief.

#####

Gu Jinzhi returned from the old mansion, and Zhu Zhongjun was waiting for her in her room.

Zhu Mom sat on the side doing needlework and watched them.

Zhu Zhongjun scolded Gu Jinzhi and asked her to send Zhu's mother out, but Gu Jinzhi couldn't see it, bowed his head and snickered.

“…… When I went to the old house today, did you ask about the incident I said? Zhu Zhongjun saw that Zhu's mother refused to leave, so he had to ask Gu Jinzhi.

I wish my mother to prick up her ears and listen.

Gu Jinzhi shook his head and said, "Today's eldest aunt is also annoying, and the topic can't go around that." I'll talk about that next time. ”

Zhu Zhongjun didn't dare to press her tightly, for fear that she would be disgusted, so he said: "No matter when you ask, ask me if you ask." ”

Gu Jinzhi nodded.

The days slowed down to July.

The situation in Juyongguan has gradually stabilized.

Relief food has been delivered, and a bit of a plague has appeared, but it has not expanded.

The emperor praised Zhu Zhongjun again.

On the tenth day of July, it was only two months before Gu Jinzhi and Zhu Zhongjun's wedding.

Early in the morning of this day, the people from the Ministry of Rites accompanied the people from the palace needlework bureau to Gu's house to measure Gu Jinzhi and Zhu Zhongjun's measurements, and to make auspicious clothes for them.

Zhu Zhongjun glanced at Gu Jin, his eyes full of smiles.

Their wedding date will not change again.
