Chapter 519: In-laws
Zheng Ying's questioning made General Zhenguo speechless. He can't say that it's because the people in the north always detain him, so he is angry and embarrassed, right? It was the emperor's idea to use Jin Lingwei's armor to make up for the northern camp, and his face was clearly presented to the general Mu in the north, but he was actually looking for the emperor to gamble.
Therefore, General Zhenguo couldn't say this anyway, so he could only hold back and keep his mouth shut.
And Sun Shangshu of the Ministry of War had a plan in his heart as soon as he saw Zheng Ying's rather tough attitude. Although Zheng Ying, the king of letters, does not talk much on weekdays, he has always been respectful to the courtiers, and now he treats the general of Zhenguo like this, and his attitude has changed so much, I am afraid that the root is still on the emperor's side.
I'm afraid that the emperor is already preparing to punish General Zhenguo?
Sun Shangshu suddenly trembled in his heart when he thought of this, and he suddenly didn't dare to open his mouth to explain himself.
In fact, Sun Shangshu thought too much. The emperor really didn't say much, Zheng Ying's attitude towards General Zhenguo was mainly angry, and when it came to the root, it was still for Mu Hongsheng. However, what Zheng Ying was thinking in his heart, of course Sun Shangshu and General Zhenguo could not know, and even Zheng Jin, who ran out to listen to Zheng Ying and General Zhenguo, had the same idea as Sun Shangshu, thinking that Zheng Ying represented the emperor's attitude.
However, the truth is really simple, Zheng Ying accidentally didn't suppress her temper, that's all.
Before Zheng Ying left, he personally went to the duty room to deliver a message, asking the chief officer of the Three Law Divisions to go to the imperial study to see the emperor, but Xie Xiang and Gu Daxue were not summoned, and they did not dare to leave casually. These adults are all a little older, and none of them have very good looks.
Xie Xiang closed his eyes and rested on the chair, waiting patiently, his face tired but calm. Regarding today's events, of course Xie Xiang has his own thoughts in his heart, but he has not returned home since he went out to the court in the morning, so he naturally does not know about Jiang Wenbin's visit. Therefore, Xie Xiang didn't expect that there might be a problem on the side of the household, and his son might accidentally eat and hang up.
Compared to Xie Xiang, Senior Scholar Gu was obviously not so calm. As the in-law of the Anguo Mansion, he is still quite concerned about the progress of things. Scholar Gu was standing at the gate of the duty room, watching his granddaughter enter the palace with his in-laws, so since Zheng Ying was summoned, the old man ran to the door again very calmly, wanting to wait for his in-laws to come out and ask about the situation.
Of course, Scholar Gu's worries were simply from the attention of his in-laws, and he also didn't expect the possibility of an accident in the household.
When Zheng Ying entered the door, Scholar Gu originally wanted to inquire a few words, but Zheng Ying didn't have time to say anything, and left in a hurry. This made Scholar Gu even more uneasy, he was still quite worried about his in-laws and granddaughter.
Fortunately, not long after Zheng Ying left, the ladies of the Anguo Mansion came out. It was Chen Quanli who personally sent the Mu family ladies out of the palace, and Scholar Gu saw Chen Quanli half-bowing from afar, raising one arm horizontally, letting Mrs. Mu support her, and personally make human crutches for the old lady.
And Duchess Anguo walked behind Mrs. Mu with a few concubines, she didn't sleep in the middle of the night last night, and Duchess Anguo, who entered the palace early this morning, was obviously blue under her eyes, and her eyes were slightly sunken, but she didn't show fatigue in her expression, and the same was true for several ladies behind her.
Because Chen Quanli was present, Scholar Gu didn't greet him casually, but Gu Yilan, who was walking at the end, saw her grandfather standing at the door of the duty room, and after she whispered to Second Lady Mu, she greeted Scholar Gu.
"Lan'er," the old man didn't pay attention to any rules at this time, he hurriedly walked a few steps to greet his granddaughter, and asked eagerly, "How is the family?" What did the emperor say? I originally wanted your grandmother to come to greet you, but I also felt that the whereabouts of the fifth and sixth sons were unknown at the moment, and the matter was confusing and inconclusive, and your mother-in-law and family members probably didn't want to be disturbed. ”
"Grandfather." Gu Yilan had a little obvious anxiety on her face, she secretly glanced at the door of the duty room, and said in a low voice, "Tell grandmother not to come." I'll have to go back to my parents' house in two days. ”
Gu Yilan's secretive and panicked attitude made Scholar Gu a little uneasy, he grabbed his granddaughter's arm, and asked in a low voice: "There is such a big thing in your mother-in-law's family, why do you want to go home?" ”
"Hmm." Gu Yilan nodded affirmatively: "It's too late to talk to you about it now, grandfather." I...... The granddaughter will go first, and after asking the elders in the family in two days, she will go home to say hello to you. ”
After saying these two sentences, Gu Yilan suddenly raised her voice slightly: "My granddaughter thanked my grandfather for the greetings of the elders in the family. ”
"Hmmm! Good. Although Senior Scholar Gu didn't look back, he nodded understandingly, and raised his voice: "Remember, if things make progress, go home and talk about it, so that your grandmother and I can worry less." If there is something at home, you, as a granddaughter-in-law, must be more careful to serve and comfort the elders. ”
"The granddaughter wrote it down." Gu Yilan gave a blessing to Scholar Gu, then looked back over Scholar Gu's shoulder, smiled and nodded, and then turned to leave.
Scholar Gu didn't look old, the play was quite sufficient, he turned his head, with a little surprise on his face, as if he had just discovered the person behind him: "Li Xiang, why did you come out too?" But tired of sitting? ”
Li Xiang did not answer Scholar Gu's question directly, but said with emotion: "You are a grandfather, you are really worried. Your granddaughters have been married for a few years, and if something happens, you're still worried. ”
"Alas! The ninth sister is not in the capital when she was a child, and she grew up under the knees of our old couple, and I really feel a little bit of pain for her. Senior Scholar Gu sighed: "I am married, I am a daughter-in-law, everything has to look at the eyes of my mother-in-law, where can I rest assured?" Now that something has happened in the Anguo Mansion, Mrs. Mu and several ladies are in a bad mood, I feel sorry for my granddaughter, and I am afraid that she will make a punching bag. ”
"Where is it so serious." Li Xiang shook his head: "Old Madam Mu is reasonable, where would she abuse her granddaughter-in-law." ”
"That's what I said." Scholar Gu replied, "But I'm still worried about my granddaughter. It's not in front of me, it's not angry, I can't see it. In a few days, let my wife find an excuse to take her back for a few days! ”
"If you're like this, you're not afraid of your in-laws!" Li Xiang shook his head: "How can I take my granddaughter home at this time." ”
"If so, I'd like to think about it." Scholar Gu snorted coldly, looking a little angry: "My granddaughter has been married for several years, and the total number of times she has never returned to her parents' home. It is human nature for us to miss our granddaughter and take her back for a few days. ”
