Chapter 463: "Good News"
The courtiers speculated privately one by one, but no one could figure out what the emperor thought.
Of course, the news also reached the Xie Xiang Mansion and the Gu University Scholars' Mansion. After Xie Xiang knew, he found Xie Changjing over, and the father and son locked themselves in the study and chatted for a long time, but they didn't know what to say.
And when Scholar Gu received the news, Gu Yilan was packing her things and preparing to go home. She stayed at her mother's house for a few days and talked to her grandfather. Scholar Gu is so cautious, of course he won't promise anything directly to Gu Yilan, but after all, the Anguo Mansion is Gu Fu's in-laws, so compared with Xie Xiang, Gu University's attitude is more inclined to support the Anguo Mansion.
He told Gu Yilan that she didn't have to worry, he would definitely help the Anguo Mansion find a way. But he doesn't plan to take a clear stance in support of An Guogong now, because Scholar Gu obviously has his own concerns, especially if he clearly expresses his support for An Guogong at the moment, then the position of the third son in the household department may be more embarrassing.
After all, if the emperor really approves An Guogong's recital, then most of the burden in the future will be on the head of the household.
However, Scholar Gu was much more honest with his own granddaughter Gu Yilan than Xie and Mu Hongsheng. He made these reasons clear without concealment, and solemnly warned Gu Yilan that although she was already the daughter-in-law of the Mu family, she was still the daughter of the Gu family, and hoped that she would not be too biased, and she would also consider the position and difficulties of the Gu family.
"Ninth sister, it's right to take your husband as your heaven after getting married," Scholar Gu told Gu Yilan with a serious face: "But you have to know that after all, you are the daughter of the Gu family, and you can be better if your mother's family is good." As your grandfather and as the in-laws of the Mu family, I can understand An Guogong's difficulties, but you should also be considerate of me and your father. It has been less than two years since he was transferred to the household department, and his foundation is still shallow, so don't let him be too difficult. ”
Although Scholar Gu was inclined to support the Anguo Mansion, he also promised Gu Yilan to help her as much as possible. But when Gu Yilan heard these words, her mood was still extremely complicated, and her tears almost fell, but she finally held back.
Yes, as the daughter of the Gu family, she should be considerate of her father and grandfather and repay their nurturing kindness. But in this situation, she really didn't know how to answer her grandfather's words.
Gu Yilan felt very aggrieved, but not for herself, but for Mu Zhengyi in the north. She really wanted to ask, who would be sympathetic to her husband who was born and died on the front line in the north? Her grandfather wished for the good of the family and a better political future for her father, and this was right, as her grandfather said, and it was also good for her.
But can she take care of it? Is her current request really excessive? She just wants her husband on the battlefield to have more security, so that he can come back alive and smoothly in the future!
She just wants the northern soldiers to be strong and strong, so that she can not be afraid of the threat of the northern Rongdi people. Her husband is an excellent general, but he also has to have food and soldiers to successfully hold on to the battlefield!! She really knows which is more important than her husband's life-saving needs and her father's political future.
Life is more important! So she really doesn't feel partial! 5200
Since the spring drought in the north, Zhengyi has not carried a letter home for two consecutive months, she is so worried that she can't sleep every day, but she is afraid that the elders in the family will worry, and she doesn't dare to show the slightest clue during the day, and only the red dress with a heart as fine as a hair has found out, and can still be by her side, comforting her all the time.
She didn't dare to say it, she was really, really scared, afraid that one day she would open her eyes and receive bad news from the north. Her current wish has become very simple, in the past, she would worry about some trivial things, such as worrying about whether Mu Zhengyi would not eat well in the north, not dress warmly enough, and whether she would be injured, but now, she only hopes that Zhengyi will live well, live smoothly, as long as she lives, everything else is easy to say.
Scholar Gu looked at his granddaughter who bowed her head and was silent, he was also a little unbearable, he sighed slightly, reached out and patted his granddaughter's shoulder, and comforted him for the first time: "Ninth sister, don't worry too much, everything will be fine." Since my grandfather has promised you to deal with you for the Anguo Mansion, I will definitely do my best, you can go back with confidence, I have already made an appointment with Lord Wang, and I will make a decision after I have discussed it with him in detail. ”
Gu Yilan is not an ignorant person, she naturally knows very well that with the character of Gu University, it is not easy to be willing to say this. She bowed to Scholar Gu, silently left the study, went back to pack her things, and prepared to go home.
When Gu Yilan returned to the room, she found that her mother was already sitting in the room waiting, looking beaming, as if something good had happened.
As soon as she saw Gu Yilan coming in, Grandma Gu San immediately beckoned to her: "Lan'er, come on, let Mother take a good look." Alas! Or my daughter is the most promising, she is only a few years old, and she has already been sealed, among the few girls who have married in our Gu family, you are the first one. ”
"What is Mother talking about?" Gu Yilan, who had been busy working on Scholar Gu and Mrs. Gu for the past few days, didn't know about the queen's decree, so when she heard Grandma Gu San say this, she was confused.
"Oh, you don't know yet." Grandma Gu San smiled proudly: "The news has spread!" The emperor intends to seal your five-grade edict. ”
"Where did you get the news from my mother?" Gu Yilan was slightly stunned: "It's a false rumor, right?" The daughter herself doesn't know. ”
"How can it be a rumor." Grandma Gu San replied happily: "The queen's decree came to your house yesterday, but your family was silent, and the news came out from the palace today." Not only did you get the five-grade seal, but your mother-in-law was also sealed with a first-grade edict. That's a great thing! ”
"Empress Yizhi?" Gu Yilan was even more stunned: "Isn't it the edict of the Ministry of Rites?" Mother, have you heard me? The sealing of the edict is a matter of the Ministry of Rites, and what does it have to do with the queen. ”
"How can you listen to it?" Grandma Gu San replied with a smile: "The queen mother is really kind and benevolent, this time I want to hold a ceremony in the palace for the concubines of your Anguo Mansion, so that the families of the important ministers in the court will enter the palace to watch the ceremony every day!" Our family also received an invitation, just now a small eunuch came to the palace, passed on the queen's mother's message, your grandmother said, take me into the palace to watch the ceremony. Oh, that's a big face, Lan'er! You're really giving your mother a long face. ”
"Oh." Gu Yilan lowered her eyes, and there was no surprise on her face: "It's good that my mother is happy." ”
