076 Accident

On the day when Brother Qiao was 100 years old, the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion was very lively, and the inner courtyard was busy early in the morning. Gu Qingwan was going to leave the cabinet after the New Year, and she should have lived in a simple house during the preparation for marriage, so she was left alone in the house.

Not to mention anything else, even if the eldest lady asked her to personally manage the He family's dowry industry, it was enough for Gu Qingwan to be in a hurry. She has only studied with the eldest lady for a few months, and it has been a little difficult to read the account books at the beginning, but now she can see the hands and feet on the accounts, and it has taken a lot of effort.

At the end of the year, the stewards from all over the country had to go to the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion to pay the accounts, and it was not easy for her to read all the account books of the previous years before.

After Mama Tian and Mama Zhang returned to the palace, Gu Qingwan didn't even go to the Humble Administrator's Hall, but only according to the wishes of the eldest lady, she was locked up in the Yuanxiang Pavilion to read the account books, and when she had free time, she also embroidered a dowry.

In December, the stewards came to pay the accounts, even if Gu Qingwan looked at the accounts of previous years, she still felt a little powerless. Fortunately, Guan expected that Gu Qingwan would be tired of coping, so he sent a female account room earlier.

The female bookkeeper's family name is Jin, and she was invited by the Guan family in Jiangnan when he followed He Chengyang to take up his foreign office. Later, He Chengyang returned to Beijing to report on his work, and the Guan family sold a lot of properties in the south, and wanted to buy property nearby in Beijing. In the past, the Guan family hired a bookkeeper in Beijing to help take care of the industry in Beijing, but now when the Jin family comes, it seems that there is no use.

However, the Kim family was widowed at a young age, and with a five-year-old child, the uncles and uncles in the family were not happy. Guan Shi saw that she was pitiful, so he simply took her to Beijing together. Seeing that Gu Qingwan was in charge of the accounts at the beginning, he did a favor and gave the Jin family a favor and introduced it to Gu Qingwan.

Gu Qingwan naturally believed in the Guan family. Therefore, he did not hesitate to agree, and begged the eldest lady to find an empty house in the back street of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion and let the Jin mother and son live.

Kim is a skilled handful, cautious and patient. With her help, Gu Qingwan suddenly felt a lot more relaxed. But there are a lot of industries left by the He family, and the people below have changed owners. is a young girl again, so she is naturally a little deceitful. Gu Qingwan and the Jin family could only be more cautious, and finally finished the account, and it was already the twenty-third day of the lunar month.

The smell of the New Year became heavier and heavier, and Gu Qingwan remembered that this was her first New Year after coming to the Great Zhou Dynasty.

It's a pity that she finally finished the account, and she can't be idle. Because Gu Cunyu, the uncle of the Gu family, will take the county exam after the year. The eldest grandmother Zhou only took care of Gu Cunyu alone, and the eldest lady proposed to let Gu Qingwan and Gu Qingyan assist her as housekeepers.

In fact, it is much easier for the housekeeper to reconcile the accounts, at least the eldest lady Yu Wei is there, and the subordinates in the house dare not be lazy and slippery. And the eldest lady didn't completely throw off her hands, and there was Mama Yan staring at her. You don't have to worry about what you're doing wrong.

For Gu Qingwan, who is trapped in the deep boudoir, this year is boring, that is, the girls of the Gu family can go outside to enjoy the lanterns on the Shangyuan Festival, and because she will be out of the pavilion after the New Year, she can only stay in the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion in peace.

The imperial court was "sealed" on the 23rd day of the first month, and the first holy decree was to canonize the five princes as princes, that is, the six princes who were only twelve years old were all crowned princes. After canonizing the prince, in addition to the second and third princes who could have gone to the court to discuss politics, even the fourth prince can also go to the court to discuss politics.

It's just that the six princes are too young. The Five Princes is a special case, so it is naturally not included.

This move caused an uproar in the court, and before the prince was decided, the saint canonized the prince, and the most beneficial move was the four princes. To know the Tao, it is much better to be able to go to the court to discuss politics than to be an idle prince.

Moreover, there was some turmoil in southern Xinjiang a year ago. It was also General Zhenwei, the maternal ancestor of the four princes, who led the army to pacify and made great contributions. For a while, there was a lot of speculation, and there were not a few courtiers who secretly took refuge in the Four Princes and General Zhenwei.

Of course, the undercurrent in the court was treacherous, and Gu Qingwan naturally didn't have to worry about it. She only knew that the five princes had been crowned King Rui, and she had changed from the future five princesses to the future Princess Rui. The princess's dowry specifications are naturally different from those of the princess, so Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Gu have to make other plans.

This time, the little Sun family was not happy, just to make up for the He family's dowry, their second room was greatly damaged. There are regulations for the dowry in the public school, even if Gu Qingwan wants to give more, she still has to make up for the second room. There is still Gu Qingyan in their second room who is not married, and there are six girls and seven girls underneath. Although the concubine's dowry cannot be compared with the concubine's, it is more or less necessary to give a dowry.

Gu Qingwan took too much, so Gu Qingyan naturally couldn't take much advantage.

It's just that since the dowry incident, the eldest lady didn't care much about the little Sun family, and directly asked the Marquis of Dingyuan to discuss with the second master Gu Mingli. Gu Mingli knew that he would rely on the big house in the future, and he didn't dare to refute Gu Mingde's meaning, so he added an extra property and some silver at the bottom of the box to Gu Qingwan.

After Xiao Sun's knowledge of the Dao, he made trouble for a while, and after seeing that Old Madam Gu was not partial, he could only end it. However, she walked more diligently with the Duchess of Liguo, and she wanted to say a good kiss for Gu Qingyan to slap Gu Qingwan's face.

On the second day of February, the dragon raised its head, and at this time of year in Jingguo Temple, a tent was set up to distribute vegetarian cakes, and Mrs. Gu would also go to Jingguo Temple to do alms on this day.

It's just that this year is different from previous years, in previous years, when the eldest girl returned to Ning on this day, the mother and daughter would accompany Mrs. Gu to Jingguo Temple together. But this year, Gu Qingshu came back with Brother Qiao, even if it was spring, it was warm and cold, so it was naturally not good to take Brother Qiao to run around. Xiao Sun was sick again, and the Xue family also wanted to take the second girl, Gu Qingya, back to Ning, but no one could accompany Mrs. Gu.

Gu Qingwan took the initiative to invite Ying and accompany Mrs. Gu to Jingguo Temple.

He's death day is the twenty-eighth day of the first month, if it weren't for the fact that she still has the memory of the third girl, I'm afraid that only Gu Cunke will remember it in this mansion. He is the original match, and after her death, the tablet is enshrined in the ancestral hall of the Gu family, and Gu Qingwan is afraid that she will not have the opportunity to go in and pay respects.

Gu Qingwan thought that at least burning a stick of incense for the He family before leaving the pavilion would complete her friendship with the mother and daughter of the three girls. It was not her wish to live instead of the third girl, but since she became Gu Qingwan, she at least would not let her sister and brother turn against her, and did her best to support Cunke.

Besides, she hasn't stepped out of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion for more than half a year, and she can't move the needle and thread today, so she stays in the mansion and has nothing to do. It is when the grass grows and the warbler flies, and it is better to scatter the heart.

Old Madam Gu was a little hesitant, but the eldest lady tried her best to facilitate it, and in the end, Old Madam Gu still took Gu Qingwan out together. It's just that Gu Qingwan didn't expect that Gu Qingyan also begged Old Madam Gu to come with her.

During this period of time, Gu Qingwan was preparing for marriage behind closed doors, but Gu Qingyan went to Mrs. Gu's house every day to wait. Old Madam Gu likes juniors to be funny in front of her, and Gu Qingyan naturally replaced Gu Qingwan and became the proud person by her side. Therefore, seeing that Gu Qingyan got into Old Madam Gu's carriage by herself, Gu Qingwan just smiled and turned around and got into the carriage behind.

Today, Gu Qingwan was followed by Peach Branch and Gui Ye, compared to Baodian and Jin Hai, Gu Qingwan felt that Peach Branch was more reliable. At least the peach branch's deed, but it was in her hand.

After Taozhi got into the car, he said in an unkind tone: "The five girls take themselves too seriously, obviously the girl wants to accompany the old lady to Jingguo Temple to offer incense, but the five girls just came up temporarily, and they took the girl's seat without saying a word, which is really annoying." ”

The peach branch is still the same, the heart is fast, and most of the year has passed, and it seems that the memory has not risen at all. Gu Qingwan didn't speak, just closed her eyes to recuperate, and Taozhi was very bored, so she could only find a seat next to Guiye and lean on.

The carriage was out of the city, and it had just rained a few days ago, and even if I sat in the carriage, I smelled of grass and trees. Gu Qingwan was very interested, and when she saw that the car was on the outskirts, she asked Guiye to lift the cotton curtain on the right side of the carriage. There is only a layer of gauze curtains, and you can see it clearly.

After watching and walking for half an hour, the carriage stopped where it was. Gu Qingwan waited patiently for a while, but there was no movement.

Seeing this, Guiye lifted the curtain and looked outside, and said, "Girl, I have arrived at the mountain pass of Jingguo Temple, and the mountain wall in front of me seems to have collapsed, and the carriage can't pass, so it's being cleaned up." ”

Gu Qingwan's brows furrowed.

Jingguo Temple is built on the mountain, and there is only one path leading to the mountain, and the mountain wall has collapsed, so it must have been a long time to wait.

The carriage stopped in place for a quarter of an hour, and Gu Qingwan felt a little irritable in her heart, and she always felt a little uneasy in her heart. She paused, and when she saw Taozhi looking around, she said to Gui Ye: "You go and see what the situation is outside, and then ask the old lady, whether to wait a little longer, or go back to the house first." ”

Cleaning up the collapse is not a matter of time and a half, if the collapse is serious, I am afraid that this day will be spent here.

Guiye nodded, lifted the curtain and got out of the car.

The mountain wall has just collapsed in one place, presumably the mountain received the news early and sent someone to clean it up, and now it is doing the finishing work. Gui Ye handed a message to Old Madam Gu, and Old Madam Gu told her to be patient and wait, and the road would be open in a quarter of an hour.

Guiye answered, and as soon as he turned around, he heard a hissing sound from behind. It turned out to be the carriage that Gu Qingwan was, and for some reason the horse suddenly went crazy and was spinning in place.

The road into the mountain was not spacious in the first place, and everyone avoided it, and even so, many people were injured by mistake.

The groom of the carriage was called Chen Liu, he was a veteran of driving the car, and he knew that the three girls of the Gu family were sitting in the car, and his face was already pale with fright, and he only shouted loudly: "Uncle Qian, this beast has suddenly gone crazy, come and help." ”

Uncle Qian in Chen Liu's mouth took a few steps forward, but he couldn't get close at all, and was hit hard by the rafters of the carriage.

"Girl......" Guiye exclaimed, and wanted to step forward but was stopped by the person in front of him, so he could only watch as the red horse raised its front hooves and neighed, turned around and ran down the mountain.
