Gu Xiang's eyes flickered, sighed slightly, and said in a low voice: "It's careless, the situation between the DPRK and China is changing rapidly, and you can't relax for half a minute until the last moment." ”

King Qu and Gu Qian both nodded.

Peng Zhan ignored the complicated wind direction in the court, and went all the way back to the house after leaving the court.

Lotus Garden.

"Mother, do you think these congratulatory gifts are okay?" Zhou took the gift list sent to the Jin Palace, and handed it to Peng.

Peng took it, glanced at it roughly, and nodded, "Well, it's good." "The etiquette is not light or heavy, and the proportions are very good.

Zhou was praised and in a good mood, poured a cup of tea for Peng with a smile, and asked, "Is Tomorrow's Mother really not going?"

"I'm not going, you can take Mo'er for a walk. Peng shook her head, over the years, she didn't want to socialize more and more, or in the Buddhist hall, chanting scriptures, writing scriptures to calm down.

"Yes, my daughter-in-law knows. Zhou put away the gift list, thinking of Qi Yu who was about to become a side concubine, she frowned and said, "Has my mother seen the second lady of the Qi family?"

Peng thought for a moment and said, "I just took a look at it from a distance at the palace banquet." ”

Zhou frowned and said, "Does my mother think she looks like a person?"

After meeting Qi Yu in Zhucuizhai that day, the more she thought about it when she came back, the more she felt that Qi Yu was like rain, if it was just two people who looked alike, how could they do the same tone and demeanor?

Peng was puzzled and asked, "Like whom?"

She just glanced at her from a distance, and she didn't even see her nose and eyebrows clearly, so how could she know who her portrait was?

Zhou felt that this matter was a little weird, and couldn't help but lower his voice and said, "Mother, my daughter-in-law thinks that Qi Yu, the second lady of the Qi family, looks very much like Ruyu. ”

"Ruyu?" Peng was stunned, remembering Ruyu's escape from prison some time ago, and muttered in a low voice: "Didn't she be taken in by the Qi Mansion after she escaped from prison?" Thinking about it carefully, the time when the second lady of the Qi family appeared was exactly the right time for Ruyu to escape from prison, and the guess in her heart was a little more verified.

"What did my mother say?" Zhou didn't hear Peng's murmur clearly.

Peng frowned and said, "Perhaps... Qi Yu is like rain. ”

Zhou Shi was shocked, dumbfounded, and said in disbelief: "How could it be? Ruyu is not in prison?" As she spoke, she suddenly remembered the amnesty some time ago, and said, "Isn't Ruyu in the amnesty list?"

Peng shook his head and said, "Ruyu escaped from prison before the amnesty, and until now the Jingzhao Yin Mansion has not been able to catch her. ”

Before, she had thought that with the strictness of Kyoto, Ruyu would definitely not be able to escape from Kyoto even if she escaped from prison, but she didn't expect that the Jingzhao Yin Mansion, who acted quickly, never found Ruyu.

If Qi Yu is like rain, then it is reasonable, who would have thought that the daughter of the cabinet minister is a fugitive? Who would dare to come to the door to verify it?

"Then what should I do now? Do you want to inform Jing Zhaoyin?" Thinking of Qi Yu's appearance of commanding Peng Moyi that day, Zhou frowned for a while.

Peng Shi thought for a while, shook his head and said in a low voice: "I was confused by Wu Xiaorou that day, and I was indeed a little radical in dealing with Ruyu's affairs, and later I heard that she had escaped from prison, and I also prayed in front of the Bodhisattva that she could find a stable place to hide for the rest of her life." ”

Saying that, he sighed lightly, recited a Buddhist saying, and said: "It's just that Jingzhong is not a good place for refuge, if Qi Yu is like rain... It's also a good place to be. ”

Zhou listened to Peng's words, and thought about Peng's meaning, Peng's this is not to let her say more, knowing that Peng's heart is kind, so he nodded and said: "Daughter-in-law understands, mother rest assured." ”

"What are you talking about?" Peng Zhan strode in from outside the door and said with a smile: "My son asks my mother to say goodbye." ”

"Get up. When Peng saw his son, the smile in his eyes was overflowing.

When Zhou saw Peng Zhan, he pursed his lips shyly and smiled, stepped forward to pour him a cup of tea, and said, "Why did you come back so early today?"

In the past few days, there has been an endless stream of officials who have come to visit, and Rao is Peng Zhan has rejected a lot, but he still continues to entertain, and it is really rare to come back early like today.

Peng Zhan didn't plan to take political affairs home, took a sip of tea, and said with a smile: "I have nothing to do today, so I came back early." ”

Now, the government and the opposition are in turmoil over the affairs of the new King Zhe, and who will come to him to talk to him, but he stole a moment of leisure because of King Zhe.

When Peng heard this, he answered: "Since there is nothing to do, let's take your daughter-in-law out of the house to go shopping, I have been busy every day in the past few days since I came back." The words were uttered with resentment.

Peng Zhan listened to Hao Ran, before returning to Beijing, he also promised Zhou to take her to visit all over Beijing, but as soon as she came back, she was riddled with trivial matters, and she didn't have any free time for a while.

Zhou looked at Peng Zhan's appearance, he couldn't help but cover his mouth and chuckle, and the warmth flowed in his heart, who is not warm to have such a mother-in-law who supports herself?

Peng Zhan listened to Zhou's laughter and looked at her, and the husband and wife glanced at each other with affection.

Then the son listened to his mother. Peng Zhan stood up and bowed.

Peng was also happy to see that his son and daughter-in-law were in a harmonious relationship, and patted the back of Zhou's hand with a smile and said, "Go ahead." ”

"Well, my daughter-in-law is leaving. Zhou's heart was sweet, and he retreated with Peng Zhan.

Peng walked to the Buddha shrine, closed his eyes and recited the scriptures for a while, then he was a little calm, accepted the Buddha beads, and said with a smile: "Go and find Mo'er and Li'er, it's strange and boring to stay alone like this." ”

Qiao Si said yes with a smile, and hurriedly went out to find someone.

"You go and ask the kitchen to make some snacks that they like. Peng instructed Qiaoyun, and said that she remembered Jin Roujia again, and said, "Go and see where Hao'er is?"

Qiaoyun smiled smartly, "belched", and ran out to order.

Mohe Garden and Xiacai Courtyard are very close to Lotus Garden, so in less than half a cup of tea, they invited Peng Li and Peng Mo to come.

Peng Shi hugged Peng Li, pouted and asked, "What did Li'er do, why didn't you come to Grandmother?"

Peng Mo smiled at Peng's "old child" posture, picked up a seat and sat aside, watching his grandparents speak, and picking up a few words from time to time, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Qiaoyun came back with refreshments, and after placing them one by one, he replied softly: "Madam, the third young master has gone out to meet friends." ”

Peng nodded, thinking to himself who this "friend" is?

Peng Mo knew that Peng Hao went out to find Jin Xiuchen, and at this moment, seeing Peng Hao ask about Peng Hao, he couldn't help asking: "Is there something wrong with my mother looking for the third brother?"

"It's okay, I just remembered that Princess Roujia likes the snacks in our house, so I thought about asking the cook to make some and let your brother send them. ”

When Peng Mo heard this, he laughed out loud and quipped: "My mother is really a good mother-in-law, this daughter-in-law has not passed the door yet, so you are worried about eating." ”

As soon as these words came out, the maids in the house covered their mouths and chuckled, and the fourth lady dared to say such a joke.

Peng's face was stiff and he said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, you're going to get married, and you don't have a right line." ”

Hearing the word "marry", Jin Xiuchen's appearance floated in her mind, and the smile on her lips deepened, and she said: "Tomorrow, the third brother will go to the Jin Palace's mansion to attend the banquet, and I can't say that Princess Roujia will also leave the palace, if we meet, let the third brother give it to her." ”

Peng nodded and instructed Qiaoyun: "You go and tell the kitchen, so that the snacks can be prepared early tomorrow." ”

Qiaoyun said yes and gave orders.

Peng remembered the conversation he had just had with Zhou, looked at Peng Mo, and asked, "Have you seen the second miss of the Qi family?"

Thinking that it was the sister-in-law who told the story of Qi Yu's portrait like rain, she replied softly: "I've seen it, it's her." ”

Although Peng Mo did not directly say who "she" was, Peng Shi understood, sighed, and said: "Everything is created by karma." ”

Peng Li twisted his body and jumped out of Peng's embrace, stood up straight, and said, "Grandmother, the time has come for Li'er to practice calligraphy." ”

"Oh, my good grandson, today he actually proposed to practice calligraphy?" Peng was surprised, in the past, in order to persuade him to practice calligraphy, she didn't know how much effort it took to persuade him to practice calligraphy, today the sun is rising from the west, right?

Peng Mo smiled and learned what Peng Hao said to Peng's family, and when he heard Peng's laughter, he rubbed Peng Li's head and said with a smile: "What your third uncle said is good, how can you arrange troops and arrange troops if you can't do a good job?"

Peng Li nodded and said solemnly: "Li'er knows, Li'er practiced two large characters on paper yesterday. ”

Peng's eyes widened: "Really?"

Zhou's personal maid Jingyun smiled when she heard this: "Madam, Young Master Sun really practiced two big characters yesterday, and the uncle even praised it." ”

Jingyun is Zhou's confidant, these days she has been personally taking care of Peng Li's daily life, Peng listened to her words, no longer doubted, hugged Peng Li's heart and boasted: "Oh, what a good child." ”

Peng Mo saw that Peng's was happy today, and he didn't want her to be disappointed, so he said, "Li'er, why don't you practice calligraphy here with your grandmother?"

Peng Li looked at the pear blossom wood carved round table, nodded, and said, "I didn't take the post, my aunt wrote a few words for Li'er, right?"

Peng Mo smiled and nodded.

The maid hurriedly went to prepare the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, Peng Mo spread out the paper, pinched the wolf's hair, wrote the word "Peng" on the white paper, turned his head and asked Peng Li: "Do you recognize this word?"

Peng Li stared at the big characters on the paper and said, "It's Peng." He added: "I recognize it, but I can't write it well." ”

"Then let's practice this word today. Peng Mo wrote a few more simple words and spread them out for Peng Li to see.

Peng Li stood in front of the table and looked at it before he picked up the brush, which was soaked in ink, and wrote decently.

Peng Shi took a closer look, nodded secretly, and said with a smile: "It's the same as his father when he was young." ”

Here, when the holy decree of the king arrived at Jin Zhe's small courtyard, he was stunned and at a loss, and he still knelt on the ground by Prajna on the side to remind him to complete Jin Zhe's first edict.

Gonggong Su personally came to read out the will, and after greeting him and sending people away, he came to Jin Zhe, knelt down and said solemnly: "The prince is very happy, and the slave and maid pay a visit to His Royal Highness King Zhe." ”

Whether she came because of the emperor's dictation or for that letter, now, Kim Chol is the object of her service, and respect is essential!

King Zhe Jin Zhe held the bright and shaking holy decree in his hand, and listened to the sound of Prajna's greeting, his mind flew a little far away, and he hurriedly got up and pulled Praruo up after returning to his senses: "Auntie, get up quickly." ”
