The eldest lady loves flowers, and when she married into the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, she also brought a lot of strange flowers as a dowry. Yiyuan has also hired a special person to take care of it, and the cost of filling in Yiyuan at the end of the year is unknown. It's just that these accounts have never been taken from the public school, and they are all used in the private room of the eldest lady, and naturally no one in the mansion dares to put a beak.

Every year, there are "Douhua" in Beijing before and after the Flower Dynasty, with the odd number of winners, the eldest lady in the boudoir and just married into the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion in the years still do not know how to converge the limelight, but also love to join in the fun when the Douhua. Imagine that she is a dignified county lord, there is such a girl in the royal family of her generation, and there are naturally countless genuine products in her hands, who can beat her?

Later, the eldest lady gave birth to the eldest uncle Gu Cunyu and the eldest girl Gu Qingshu, and the old lady Gu successively handed over the affairs of the Gu family's inner courtyard to her, and her temperament was a lot more restrained. Since Gu Qingshu was born, the eldest lady no longer participates in the "Flower Fighting Meeting" in Beijing, and only takes care of the affairs of the house wholeheartedly.

Even so, the eldest lady has collected a lot of treasures over the years, and the ladies outside will all sigh as long as they see the scenery of Yiyuan.

In the first few years, the eldest lady would put spring wine in Yiyuan, and invited the ladies and girls in the mansion who were close to the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion to eat wine and enjoy the flowers, and Princess Huai, who did not like to go to other mansions to join in the fun, would also be invited to come. It's just that such an occasion is full of too many unpleasant memories for the three girls.

She, the girl from the main room, will always be like an inconspicuous green leaf around Gu Qingyan, and the girl who came with those ladies also said some sarcastic words in secret words. Although the third girl was a little impulsive, she listened to a lot of cynicism, her mind was extremely sensitive, and she would always quarrel with others when she was not in harmony.

In Gu Qingwan's memory, the number of times the three girls attended such a banquet was only a handful.

However, in this year's Flower Dynasty, the eldest lady did not post to the mansion outside, but only said that her family would get together and have a lively time.

Gu Qingwan naturally understood that the biggest reason for this was because of the prince's violent death.

The matter of the prince was only recalled intermittently by Gu Qingwan after Mrs. Gu withdrew Gu Qingwan's grounding order. The death of the prince in Jiangnan, whether it is for the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion or for the officials of all sizes in the court, it is tantamount to a bolt from the blue, and it is that these women in the boudoir who ignore the affairs of the court can hear the news in the inner house.

The biological mother of the eldest prince is the middle palace, and he has been made the crown prince since he ascended the throne, and he has high hopes for him to teach him personally. As long as the crown prince does not kill the king and seize the throne, the future throne will inevitably be the prince's. It is precisely because of this that the DPRK has been calm in the past 20 years, and there has been no obvious partisan dispute.

But if the crown prince dies, it is not certain which prince the throne will fall on. Although the DPRK and China are calm on the surface, there are turbulent waves hidden inside, and there are not a few who stand in line in private.

If King Huai wins the support of King Huai, it will undoubtedly add a powerful boost to his camp. But King Huai is a drip-perched, since the news of the prince came back to Beijing, King Huai was ordered to patrol the border, and before returning to Beijing, he fell seriously ill, and the prince's violent death in Jiangnan could only be handed over to King Duan to continue to investigate.

Since then, King Huai has closed the door to thank guests by recuperating from the beginning, and when he went to court after the year, he also came and went in a hurry, but King Huai's Mansion was still closed. Because of this, the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, which was related to King Huai, naturally became a rafter.

The Dingyuan Marquis Mansion naturally can't be as tough as King Huai, and no one is seen, but several masters in the fourth room seem to be busy with their feet from the opening of the government to the present. The more critical the moment, the more cautious the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion can only be.

And the eldest lady is the prince's cousin, and she doesn't have to keep filial piety for the prince during the New Year's Festival, but the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion still eats vegetarian food for half a month. Although it has already been out of the filial piety period, the eldest lady does not dare to invite the ladies of various provinces in Beijing to eat spring wine. Jinshang is very saddened by the death of the prince, why didn't the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion take this into account, so he had to make an appearance for today.

But she was thankful for the fact that it was on the verge of breaking out. Otherwise, the three girls did something to meet the man privately, if it was in normal times, with the old lady's temperament, she would definitely send the three girls to the family temple, how could she wait until the eldest girl received the news to intercede for her.

Now that the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion can't withstand the wind and rain, the situation in the court is treacherous, and the elders of the Gu family don't have the heart to care about the three girls in the house. Otherwise, with Xiao Sun's means of adding oil and vinegar, her cheap father would not have shown his face.

Taozhi, who knew the situation of the road when she was grounded, also used the excuse of "vegetarian" to instigate the three girls to go to the old lady and the little Sun family to make trouble, Gu Qingwan felt a bad breath surging up every time she thought about it, but she sent the peach branch away, and the little Sun family was definitely going to send in more difficult cloves, so Gu Qingwan dismissed the idea of Taozhi.

"Girl, I see that this folded branch pile of flower skirts is not bad, it is neither bulky nor too cold to wear at this season." Taozhi picked out a skirt and compared it in the air, and said to Gu Qingwan with a smile on her face.

Gu Qingwan suppressed her tired look, glanced at the dress in Taozhi's hand, and then nodded lightly: "You put it there, why hasn't Hongjin come back when she went to the kitchen to ask for water?" ”

"The two of them rarely go to the kitchen, and the mother-in-law in the big kitchen is the most bullying, so I think I must embarrass her." Taozhi smiled proudly, Yuanxiang Pavilion was not powerful, and the mother-in-law in the kitchen was the most tricky. The maids in the entire Yuanxiang Pavilion, they only sell their face.

Gu Qingwan was silent for a while, and then said: "Since this is the case, you can go and urge it, if you continue to rub it off, I am afraid that it will be too late." ”

The smile on Taozhi's face was closed, and her face was a little sad: "Girl...... The slave and maid will also help you build jewelry. Then he stole a glance at the locked box on the cabinet.

Some time ago, Gu Qingwan asked her to give the key to the box to Guiye to manage, saying that she was no longer in the daytime, and it was inconvenient to take things in the cabinet. But she didn't go to Jinhui Hall all the time these days, Gu Qingwan seemed to have forgotten to ask Guiye to return the key to herself, and she never mentioned this matter again at all.

Guiye is also a tricky person, and Momozhi has hinted to her many times, and she has acted as if nothing has happened, which makes Momozhi's liver hurt.

Taozhi didn't dare to mention it in front of Gu Qingwan now, for fear that as soon as she said it, Gu Qingwan said by the way that Guiye guards the yard on weekdays, and it would be better to hand over the key to her.

"You go to the kitchen first and take a look, I'll look at it myself later." Gu Qingwan said lightly, picked up the skirt that Taozhi had just picked and looked at it carefully.

Taozhi still rubbed in the room for a while, and seeing that Gu Qingwan didn't seem to see her embarrassment in her eyes, she pouted and lifted the curtain and walked out quickly.
