Chapter 566: Spring Banquet
Qin Niang knew what Old Man Gu was worried about, and she also had the same worries, now, the east is embattled, and almost all the capable people have been sent out, and most of the people left behind in Beijing are some old people, if something goes wrong at this time, the consequences will be unimaginable.
"Grandfather wants to test a person, like this situation, naturally he has to put her in a crowded place, so that she can be observed, she is restless, just see if she will do something at the spring banquet." Qin Niang's idea was also well thought out.
After all, there are not only many high-ranking ladies and nobles at the Spring Banquet, but also many harem concubines, in case something goes wrong, she will be responsible for the Gu family before.
However, if they didn't take the initiative to provide her with the most favorable conditions, how could they know if this Bu Shuyuan, who suddenly appeared to recognize her relatives, really had some kind of purpose?
Not to mention whether her identity is true or not, let's just say that she has lived in the south for so many years, and in these years, Gu Ping has never been in contact with the capital, what did she and his husband, their family do in the south, and what has become like, who knows?
People are changeable, besides, this Gu Ping can betray her relatives and leave her hometown for the sake of a man, she can't use common sense to speculate.
There was a moment of silence in the study, and Old Man Gu seemed to be carefully considering her proposal, and after a long time, he sighed and said: "You are right, we must try to provide her with favorable conditions, so that no matter whether she has a purpose or not, we can relax as soon as possible, otherwise, there will be trouble." ”
In today's situation, they are not allowed to observe a person slowly, and the most effective way is to make the other party unable to sit still and hurry to the next step.
"Then, my granddaughter-in-law will go back to the house and prepare to go." Qin Niang said, Chong Gu blessed the old man, and was ready to leave.
"When the time comes, let your sister-in-law go with you, and many people will watch." Old Man Gu said in a deep voice.
Qin Niang nodded: "Sister-in-law is thick and fine, and it is just right for her to help on the side, so the granddaughter-in-law will go back first." ”
This time, Old Man Gu didn't stop her again, just nodded and waved at her.
After coming out of the Gu family's old house, Qin Niang went back to the house directly.
The time was just right, she went home with her front foot, and her sister-in-law Qi led the two children back.
"Mother~" As soon as the little girl entered the yard, she twisted her body and got off Qi's body, and ran into the house with a smoke, screaming crisply, "My third brother went to see the circus, but it was fun, Ying'er also bought a lot of fresh gadgets for her mother, mother, you see." ”
As soon as the little girl entered the house, she threw herself into Qin Niang's arms, and then took out the same gadgets from the small cloth pocket hanging on her body, and held them in front of Qin Niang like a treasure, and her mouth did not stop for a while from the moment she entered the door.
Qin Niang only felt extremely satisfied in her heart, in her previous life, this little girl still looked timid when she saw her, and she had never called her mother so affectionately as at this time.
Thinking of her previous life, Qin Niang's heart was sour and astringent, and then she felt extremely lucky, fortunately, they still have the opportunity to be mother and daughter again.
"Ying'er, did you make trouble with your aunt after you went out?" Qin Niang put the little girl on the ground, looked at her and asked seriously.
"No, Ying'er is very well-behaved, the third brother has been holding Ying'er, and Ying'er has not run around." The little girl carried her precious bag and shook her cute bun, her little face full of seriousness and innocence.
"Really?" Qin Niang asked.
The little girl nodded again.
Qi Shi led the little boy in from outside, and hurriedly said: "Really no, this child is very well-behaved, I want to take it back to the house to raise, alas, I also want to give birth to a daughter, but unfortunately, I gave birth to three boys in a row." ”
As soon as this was mentioned, Qi's face was regretful, originally she didn't believe in evil, and she wanted to make further efforts to have another one, but her husband said that their Gu family is more men and fewer women, let her stop tossing, if she turns around and has another son, she will have to turn this mansion upside down.
Qi thought about it, so he stopped.
It's just that seeing that Qin Niang had a daughter in her first child, she was really envious and jealous in her heart, and she really wanted to have a daughter......
"Mother, why don't you change with your aunt? I'll stay at my second uncle's house in the future, and you will bring my sister back? The little boy beside Qi shook off her hand and suggested with a serious face.
Qi glared at him angrily and said, "Your second uncle doesn't look down on you!" ”
After speaking, Qi snorted at his son in disgust.
Gu Yun pursed his lips, he had long been accustomed to his own mother's dislike that he was not a daughter, and he didn't bother to argue with her, so he ran directly to Ying'er's side, and said with a courteous face: "Sister, is the third brother good to you?" ”
The little girl tilted her head, looked at him innocently, and nodded, "The third brother is the best." ”
Gu Yun smiled so much that she couldn't see her teeth, took her little hand and said, "Then, if the eldest brother and the second brother come back, they will ask you, you have to say that the third brother is the best, you know?" ”
The little girl thought about it, and it wasn't a big deal, so she nodded kindly.
Seeing this, Gu Yun immediately laughed like a fool, and almost jumped up.
Qin Niang silently shed tears of sympathy for this silly boy, he thought that he would be able to come to his sister from time to time to brush his favorability in front of his brothers, but unfortunately, her family is a villain.
Don't look at her being so well-behaved now, whatever you say is what, when the two young masters of the Gu family really come home from vacation, whoever can make her happy at that time will naturally be good for everyone.
Qi Shi watched the two little babies having fun, and didn't care about them, but just pulled Qin Niang aside and whispered: "I heard, you just went back to the old house?" ”
Qin Niang nodded, this matter needed Qi's help, so she didn't hide it, and told Bu Shuyuan's appearance from beginning to end, and finally said that she planned to lead people to the spring banquet.
"Sister-in-law, I think my grandfather means that when the time comes, we will enter the palace together." As soon as Qin Niang's words came out, Qi Shi understood.
Qi is a smart person, don't look at her, she doesn't look like a celebrity lady, she doesn't look like a daughter raised by a civil official's family at all, but she is very thoughtful and observant, and sometimes many details, often others don't find out, but she notices them first.
Old Man Gu asked her to enter the palace together, and the Qi family understood, and immediately patted Qin Niang's hand and said: "Don't worry, we are all a family, if something really happens to the Gu family, we will not be happy, you and your grandfather are right, it is a camel or a horse, you have to pull it out for a walk, at this time, we can't afford to wait." ”
Yes, at this time, the east is facing enemies on all sides, and there will be a large influx of foreign population in all states and counties, which is very difficult to control.
But this is the capital, and the capital is the last line of defense of a country, and there is no room for error.
"People are now living in the old house, and I have to work hard to keep an eye on my sister-in-law, and I really can't be separated from this side, tomorrow I will have to go to the city to go to the iron shop to see, and then send a batch of new weapons to the border gate, and the family affairs, there will be a lot of fatigue for the sister-in-law." For this, Qin Niang is still quite guilty.
is also the daughter-in-law of the Gu family, Qin Niang has not done anything for the Gu family since she married into the Gu family, and even in the three years when she had the best relationship with the Gu family, she has not shared any responsibilities for the Qi family, on the contrary, she lives separately from Gu Chen, and lives freely and smoothly.
"What do you say! I am an ordinary woman, what I can do, is also very limited, but you are different, what you do is a big thing, Achen goes out to fight, you are his strong backing, he is triumphant every day, and you also have a part of your efforts in it, in the future, the war will be calmed down, and you will also have your credit, we are just showing our strengths. ”
Qi Shi thought a little bitterly, her strength is what all the nobles and nobles can do, but few of them understand the major national affairs.
"We are all a family, needless to say politely, I don't understand about weapons, what I can do is to take care of the backyard of the Gu family, and don't let those Xiao juniors take advantage of the loopholes, do whatever you want to do, no matter what else you want." Qi patted the back of Qin Niang's hand and said encouragingly.
The two of them talked for a while, and then the Qi family led the reluctant youngest son out of the Gu house.
In the blink of an eye, the day of the spring banquet has arrived.
When Qi's carriage arrived, Qin Niang was already waiting there, as the wife of the generalissimo of Zhengxi, on the day Gu Chen was sealed Zhengxi, she also carried the title of Mrs. Yipin.
In the past, when entering the palace for formal occasions, she needed to wear her cumbersome and cumbersome command clothes, but today's Spring Banquet is just a competitive banquet hosted by the queen, not a state banquet, so just dress dignified and don't need to wear too many headdresses.
Therefore, Qin Niang wore a jade flower-sprinkled crepe skirt with lake blue today, wore a pair of red phoenix wing satin shoes on her feet, and simply inserted a golden peach hairpin on her head, which looked very springy.
After seeing each other, Qin Niang got into Qi's carriage, and after the carriage drove out of the Yimen, she ran straight in the direction of the palace gate.
"The two cousins-in-law are really good-looking today." Bu Shuyuan sat in the carriage, looked at Qi's family, and then looked at Qin Niang and said, "If Shuyuan has the temperament of two cousins, I'm afraid she will look good in anything." ”
Originally, Qin Niang didn't plan to talk to her more, but when she heard this, she felt very strange, and it looked like she was praising them for their good-looking looks, but in fact, it seemed to be saying that they were born and raised in a blessed land like the capital, so they were raised with such temperament, even if they were not good-looking, they would be a little more noble.
She couldn't help but glance at her and said, "My cousin was born not badly, since she returned to the Gu family, her cousin has an outstanding temperament, and today she will definitely be able to be picked by those high-ranking ladies and choose a good family." ”
