At this time, there are many funeral customs, which are more elaborate than happy events. After a funeral, it is not uncommon for busy people to fall ill. Fortunately, Gu's funeral was simple and he was buried after three days.

In the past three days, everyone in the Hou Mansion was tired.

Xiao Zou was busy with his feet and did not touch the ground, and handled the funeral neatly and properly. Ji Ze stayed in the mourning hall for three days, and his whole person lost weight. Even if the Gu family wants to find fault, they can't pick it up.

Gu's short life? That's Gu's life, no wonder her husband, let alone her mother-in-law. Besides, the dead are buried in the ground, and the living must look forward!

The Gu family didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and they didn't take Gu Caiping, who had an "unhealed foot injury", back home. As a result, Miss Gu Si has been living in Qingzhi Courtyard.

Ji Yu soon couldn't bear it anymore, and said indignantly to Xiao Zou: "Mother, how long will that Gu Caiping live in our Hou Mansion." I look at her face every day, and I'm so annoyed. How can there be such a cheeky person! My sister-in-law has died of illness and is buried, so what's the matter if she doesn't leave? ”

Xiao Zou also felt unhappy in his heart. Although Ji Ze promised that he would never marry Gu Caiping, Gu Caiping's reliance on the Hou Mansion always made people feel embarrassed.

Ji Yu said again: "Mother, I don't want to see her anymore." Tell her tomorrow and let her go home sooner."

"Nonsense!" Xiao Zou came back to his senses and glared at Ji Yu unhappily: "The person who came is a guest, how can you let people go." Your sister-in-law has just been buried, and her bones are not cold, so we treat her sister like this, do you want people to poke the backbone of our Hou Mansion in the back? Such a big person, he doesn't even have a little brain. It's been a waste of my time teaching you! ”

Ji Yu was full of grievances when she was scolded by Xiao Zou, and her mouth was flattened, but she didn't dare to say anything more.

Xiao Zou couldn't help but feel a little distressed when he saw Ji Yu's appearance, and softened his tone and coaxed: "Okay, don't be angry." The prince has been in the mansion for the past few days, so Gu Caiping has the cheekiness to stay in our Hou Mansion and refuses to leave. After a few days, Shizi returned to the barracks, and she would naturally return home. Endure it a few more days. ”

Ji Yu nodded reluctantly.

At this moment, Hanyu came in with a smile and reported: "Madam, the prince and the second lady are here." ”

A hint of joy flashed in Xiao Zou's eyes, and his face was still reserved and indifferent: "Please let them in." ”

Ji Ze saw Xiao Zou and saluted respectfully. Ji Yu also saluted with Ji Ze.

Xiao Zou said kindly: "It's all a family, why bother so much courtesy." Sit down and talk. ”

Although the Marquis of Weining is not in the mansion all the year round, the prince respects his stepmother very much and never loses the slightest courtesy. People are used to watching people cook, where do they dare to have any other thoughts.

Xiao Zou held the Hou Mansion tightly in his hands, and when Gu was alive, he was aggrieved everywhere, and he couldn't fight Xiao Zou at all. As soon as the Gu family died, Ji Yu was about to get married again, and this Weining Marquis Mansion would become her world in the future

As soon as he thought of this, Xiao Zou's heart felt extremely happy. She glanced at Ji Ze quickly, and the two looked at each other for a moment, flashing a secret joy that only each other could understand, and quickly looked away as if nothing had happened.

"Concubine Xian's birthday is coming soon." Ji Yu opened her mouth and said, "My eldest brother and I plan to enter the palace together to celebrate Niangniang's birthday." I wonder if my mother wants to enter the palace together? ”

Xiao Zou said with a smile: "On Niangniang's birthday, I want to enter the palace to celebrate my birthday." ”

As soon as Ji Yu heard this, she immediately threw aside the annoyance and unhappiness she had just been reprimanded, and said hurriedly: "Mother, I'm going too." ”

There are many rules in the palace, Ji Yu was still young a few years ago, and Xiao Zou was afraid that Ji Yu would walk poorly, and he never refused to take Ji Yu when he entered the palace. Ji Yu is also thirteen this year, and it is time to lead her into the palace to see the nobles for a long time.

Xiao Zou thought for a moment, then nodded in response.

Ji Yu's heart was overjoyed, and she begged again: "Concubine Xian's birthday is still half a month away, and there is enough time to make a few new clothes." I also want new bead jewelry. ”

There is no young girl who does not love beauty.

Xiao Zou was very indulgent to Ji Yu, and said with a smile: "Since you want to enter the palace, of course you have to make some new clothes and buy some new jewelry." Later, I will send someone to the embroidered pavilion to say, and let the shopkeeper of the embroidered pavilion come to the house in the afternoon. Then tell the treasurer of Zhenpinzhai to come over too. ”

Embroidery Pavilion is the most famous embroidery village in the capital, known for its novel embroidery workmanship, and an ordinary Luo skirt also has 20 taels of silver. Zhenpinzhai is a specialty of jewelry, and the style is exquisite and gorgeous. Of course, the price is also expensive.

Ji Yu responded happily.

Next, Xiao Zou discussed the birthday gift with Ji Ze: "Should this year be more expensive than last year's?" ”

Ji Ze replied disapprenosingly: "Concubine Xian Niangniang has never seen anything good in the palace, no matter how valuable we give it, Niangniang may not be in the bottom of our eyes." The important thing is that we have this heart. Moreover, in the hindrance of the queen's mother, it is inconvenient for the birthday of the virtuous concubine to be too grand. Let's just prepare according to the congratulatory gifts of previous years, and I don't think the mother will be blamed. ”

Xiao Zou responded with a smile.

Ji Ze suddenly said again: "When you enter the palace, bring Xu Zheng's brothers and sisters with you!" ”

What the? Bring Xu Zheng brothers and sisters?

Xiao Zou was stunned, and was about to say something, Ji Yu had already taken the first step to open her mouth dissatisfied: "The two of them are just relatives who have come to our Hou Mansion, what are they doing with them in the palace!" Why let them be in vain, it's too cheap for them"

Ji Ze frowned slightly.

Seeing Ji Ze's unhappy face, Xiao Zou immediately scolded Ji Yu: "Shut up!" Since the prince said so, he naturally has his considerations. You don't understand anything, don't shout here! ”

Ji Yu retorted unconvinced: "What I said is the truth, where is the nonsense." Their brothers and sisters are all from that small place in Lin'an, and they are childish in their gestures and actions, and they have never seen a big scene at all. What if they follow us into the palace and collide with the nobles in the palace? ”

Ji Yu thought what she said made sense, but she didn't expect that even Xiao Zou showed a disapproving expression.

Xu Zheng and Xu Jinyu are two brothers and sisters, one is handsome and gentle, the other is beautiful and gentle, and their appearance and temperament are very outstanding. Treat people with words and behaviors that are neither humble nor arrogant, and even if you use the harshest eyes to find thorns, you can't find anything wrong. When Ji Yu said this, it was obvious that she was extremely prejudiced

Ji Yu is indeed angry. Because of Chen Yuanqing, she had a quarrel with Xu Jinyu, and she hadn't spoken for two days - mainly because Ji Yu had a unilateral tantrum and was awkward. Xu Jinyu was not affected by anything, she still ate and slept well, and her face was ruddy.

Thinking of this, Ji Yu felt even more angry, and thought with hatred that this time she must think of something to prevent Xu Jinyu's brothers and sisters from entering the palace

"I have my own intentions when I bring their brothers and sisters into the palace." Ji Ze didn't look at Ji Yu's ugly face, and made a decision: "That's it." ”

Ji Yu was anxious and wanted to open her mouth to object, but was glared back fiercely by Xiao Zou.

Ji Yu was stunned suddenly

In the afternoon, Hanyu came to deliver a message with a smile: "Madame asked Mrs. to lead the young master to Tinglan Courtyard, saying that there is something important to discuss." ”

Do you want to discuss something?

Zou was stunned for a moment, then immediately smiled in response, and couldn't help but secretly speculate in his heart about what the "important matter" would be. Could it be that the prince of the world wants to introduce the great Confucianism of the dynasty for Xu Zheng? Or did you ask someone to inquire about the examiner of this year's autumn season?

The more Zou thought about it, the more beautiful it became, and he hurriedly called Xu Zheng Xu Jinyu over: "Your aunt specially instructed the two of you to go to Tinglan Courtyard together, and go with me now." ”

Xu Zheng nodded in response, but Xu Jinyu frowned slightly.

What did Xiao Zou specifically ask them to do?

At this time in my previous life, nothing special seemed to happen

Wait, if I'm not mistaken, Concubine Ji Xian's birthday in the palace should be approaching. Xiao Zou and Ji Ze brothers and sisters will enter the palace to celebrate their birthdays. But these have nothing to do with their mother and son at all-

Question: What is Ji Ze trying to do? Everyone is idle, and guess what~O(∩_∩)O~
