Hua Li was pregnant, so she had no choice but to put her face in her husband's house with her face open, and she didn't care about the flowers and flowers, and she left the "Yellow Girl" behind her head after tasting the freshness. In his eyes, his wife has changed from a shining colored pearl to a dull dead fish eye, and the same room with Duxue is even more boring, this day in the morning dew hit a nail, Yi Xing Shan passed Gu Lao Taijun's greetings, and walked to the gate of Rongqing Hall and happened to collide with a weak and slender maid.

After seeing the confession, he carefully examined his eyebrows, and was even more delicate than the morning dew that looked like Zhiqing, and he couldn't help but stare at people in a daze and ask: "What house are you from, and what is your name?"

The maid saluted and replied, "The slave and maid are serving in the house of the prince." ”

Gu Bufan nodded and asked, "What's your name?"

The maid couldn't, so she lowered her head and replied: "The slave's surname is Liu, and her name is Chu Rui." ”

"Chu Rui! Chu Rui!" Gu Bufan chewed and praised, "The surname is good, and the name is good!"

The maid was cramped, and Liuli opened the curtain and came out of the side room: "Sure enough, it's the second master, it's cold outside, and the old lady just talked about you." ”

Chu Rui took advantage of the situation to get out, Bufan felt a little lost, greeted Liuli and went to the upper room.

Gu Kui was chatting with his great-grandmother, and when he saw that Uncle Cong came in, he got up to salute, Gu Lao Taijun asked his grandson Han Nuan and pointed to the case and said with a smile: "This is the citrus brought by Brother Kwai from the palace, it is bigger and sweeter than usual, you take two back to the room and let your daughter-in-law taste it too." ”

Bufan thanked him, and praised his nephew in a few sentences before asking Gu Kui: "Fang met a sister at the door, saying that it was the maid in your room, named Chu Rui, is it our family's son?"

Gu Kui was a little confused: "Yes, Chu Rui's mother is now in charge of the small kitchen in the wife's courtyard, and she is called Sister-in-law Liu." ”

Old Mrs. Gu smiled: "Isn't it that she offended you without rules?"

Bufan hurriedly explained: "That's not the case, I was in a hurry just now, and I almost hit her." ”

Gu Kui originally remembered to go back to the room to warm the book, who would have thought that the cousin, who had never been close, would find all kinds of topics to lead him to talk, so he had to endure perfunctory maneuvers, countless detours, and finally led the topic back to Chu Rui: "It's rare that the aura around the body is revealed, my study is a short night maid who holds the lamp, good Brother Kui, you give her to me, how about the people in my courtyard choose as you choose?"

Old Taijun Gu frowned slightly, because of the blame: "How can an uncle ask his nephew for a reason to call a girl? Don't say this again! It seems that our family has no rules!"

Bufan only agreed, Gu Kui said with a smile: "Ancestor, a maid is worth nothing, when my mother returns to Beijing, I will teach the second uncle to take it." ”

Gu Lao Taijun's face was a little pale: "Although Brother Kui is kind-hearted, after all, he doesn't know how to speak well, and if he teaches that villain to make up lies and spread them, the reputation of both of you and your sons will be hindered." ”

Gu Kui has reached the age of knowing about personnel, if you want to talk about the rules of the old times, at the latest, you should pick four well-known Tongfang and put them in the house to serve, Qin Siyue (Longxi) has strict family laws, and she said cruelly half a year ago: "If anyone has a big heart to hook Kui'er Hu Wei, I will first cut off the master with a blunt knife, and throw her three relatives and six relatives to Java for hard labor." Not only did the maids in the house dare not try to speak to the "Tang monk meat", but even Gu Yin and Mrs. Zhang had no intention of interfering in the affairs of the grandchildren's room, even so, Gu Lao Taijun had to guard against people's mouths after all, and to a large extent, it was also for the sake of Bufan: if Gu Kui's reputation was damaged and the eldest granddaughter-in-law was alarmed, whether his life could be saved was also in between.

Although he touched a nail in front of Old Lady Gu, Bufan could not easily give up, taking advantage of the Chinese New Year's Eve reunion, and quietly found his cousin's door.

"Brother Kui'er's maid?" Sister Qing frowned, "It must be the eldest sister-in-law who personally ordered the general, where can I be allowed to be the main dispatcher?"

Bufan pleaded: "Kui'er is willing, I beg the eldest mother, you can help me say a word." ”

Sister Qing was pestered by him, and reluctantly agreed: "Mrs. can't help me." ”

"Which one is Chu Rui?, why did it fall into your eyes?" Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Gu thought much better, "You have a short person in the house, just ask your sister-in-law to send you two more proudly." ”

Bufan snorted: "Somehow, my son looks at her the most pleasing to the eye, with her serving in front of her, I will definitely study more attentively on weekdays, and I beg my aunt to love me!"

Mrs. Zhang shook her head: "Although it is nothing to add a few maids to the house of people like us, but your daughter-in-law is pregnant, one is to remember her hard work, and the other is that you should cultivate yourself now, and focus on your studies!"

"Auntie...... "Bufan still does not give up, "If you fulfill your son, your son will ......"

"No!" Mrs. Zhang interrupted, "You fancy the side, even if the antique Tang and Song Dynasty calligraphy and paintings of Qin Han, as long as I and your uncle have them, there is no reason to be reluctant, but I can't go past your wife to arrange a room for you, and you need to go into the palace to congratulate you when you get up early, and I will talk about it after I discuss it with the old lady." ”

Sister Qing knows the current affairs best, and when she saw this, she couldn't persuade Fan: "You have patience, Mrs. and the old lady should talk to the old lady, the old lady should also discuss with the second wife Hua Li, don't be reckless in the New Year, in case it enters the ears of the second master, be careful about your suffering." ”

Bufan couldn't help but be stupid: "Yes." ”

Qin Siyue (Long Xi) is not in the capital, the battle of the female dependents of the Gu Mansion has not been reduced a lot, Gu Xuan's rank is the same as the princess of Fengyi, she was partnered with her mother earlier, and basically put aside the car and drive, just because the news of the assassination of Princess Chaoyun Yangzhou came to Beijing, the emperor deliberately issued an edict to inspect Gu Kui, Gu Xuan, Gu Mao, Gu Ming, Gu Ying's grade guards, and the deputy deacon entered the palace with five drums.

Mrs. Zhang was startled when she saw the two daughters in Kunning Palace: "Why are you so careless, you should have given birth and dared to go out!"

Mei Jun is also fine, one comes to the abdomen, the other month is slightly shallow, and there are two layers of mother-in-law to take care of her; Mei Jun's delivery period is only in this month, in case there is a mistake, I am afraid that it is too late to cry.

Mei Jun said with a smile: "Don't worry, the Taiyi and Wen Po have seen it, and now that the activity is open, the production will be smoother!"

"You ......," Mrs. Zhang said angrily, "Your sister-in-law also said this when she was a child, and she doesn't remember it for long." ”

"Madame Ronghou. Queen Shi smiled and relieved her daughter-in-law, "Don't worry, from now on, I will keep her in the palace to take care of her nearby, and promise to add a big grandson to you smoothly." ”

Mrs. Zhang smiled and pleaded guilty: "It is naturally foolproof to have a master. ”

Queen Shi pretended to be angry: "If the Qin girl is in the capital, I will take her as a hard labor and move into the Zongwang Mansion to take care of her for a few days, but she is clever and clever, and there is no other way to be thoughtful!"

For a while, Queen Shi led two classes of women inside and outside to pay homage to Ningshou Palace. The queen mother has a capable and filial daughter-in-law, who has no idleness at home, and blindly purifies her heart, but has some old and strong meanings, seeing that Gu Xuan is extremely happy, she asked the recent Xi Xuefang and said: "I have received your mother's peace letter yesterday, and I also sent a lot of rare things, you will take it after a while, and give it to Su Ge'er." ”

Gu Xuan smiled and thanked her, and the little princess approached left and right to support the queen mother who stretched out her hand to greet her, ready to drive to Daming Palace to receive congratulations.

There is no lack of red-eyed women in the middle of the heart: "Your mother is domineering, the first emperor can overpower the east and west six palaces in the day to assist in managing the inner court, she is the granddaughter of Prince Kang Huan, she really has two brushes, and you have to endure it if you can't bear it, which famous brand are you counted?

It's okay to think about it, but the noble lady with a "straightforward temperament" accused her in the court: "Lord Zhucheng, that's not the seat you can stand on." ”

Everyone raised their eyes to look, but the person who spoke was Princess Huangshi, the concubine of Taizong, who was born with Prince Heng and the king of Wen County.

The empress, the crown princess and Princess Xingguo in front saw it clearly, it was clear that the empress dowager beckoned to Gu Xuan and asked her to help, Princess Huangshi actually attacked Gu Xuan on the spot, but it was the queen piano face that was hurt, and the atmosphere of Chinese New Year's Eve, which should be jubilant, suddenly became tense.

To be fair, Princess Huangshi didn't dare to disobey the queen mother's face no matter how dissatisfied she was, and the disadvantage was that her position was biased towards the periphery, and she couldn't notice the small movements of her mother-in-law raising her hand at all, and Princess Xingguo and Princess Liangguo, who were standing in front, were dumbfounded: "The fourth sister is crazy." ”

Gu Xuan's hands were loosened, and the Queen Mother had already moved her liver: "She can't, can you!"

Princess Huangshi has repented of her words, and Princess Shenguo, who is behind the early teaching, pulled down the guilt: "The queen mother forgives, I think the fourth sister drank too much wine on Chinese New Year's Eve yesterday, and now she is taking the risk of saying something wrong in front of the car, and I hope that the queen mother will forgive." ”

Concubine Guo was so angry that she took her crown dress and went out of class to salute: "The concubine and the daughter have no way, please punish the master." ”

"Punishment?" "The Queen Mother snorted coldly and returned to her seat, "I know, if you see which one is truly filial to me, you don't say anything on your face, and you don't know how to hate her in your heart." Looking at the fact that the girl is not in the capital, how much I hurt the girl is in the way of your eyes? This is still in front of me, or outside, how much calculations and grievances have a few children suffered from you, and they can't call your heart, do you want to set a big fire in the Shenlong General's Mansion again? I forgot, the Yangzhou Prefect is not exactly the talent who walked out of your Huo family. ”

These words were extremely weighty, not only Concubine Guo's mother and daughter, but also the two eldest princesses and Prince Heng knelt down. Queen Shi was inconvenient for her daughter-in-law and sister-in-law, and the Yue family smiled closely: "Old lady, you only look at Xuan'er with all your eyes, your daughter is still her grandmother, the fourth sister must mean to give me the lead, let's not delay, carefully the second brother is waiting in front of him in a hurry to ask." ”

The queen mother's face was slightly pale: "Your grandmother is jealous of your granddaughter, and you are not afraid of the juniors looking at the jokes." ”

The princesses and princesses came to persuade in unison, and finally said that the queen mother was promoted to the throne, and Princess Huangshi was stained with the light of the New Year's Festival, and followed the guard of honor without squeaking, and she was so annoyed that she didn't even dare to look at the face of the concubine.

After returning home from the banquet in Daming Palace, Mrs. Zhang asked Mrs. Gu: "Although Princess Huangshi does not notice the holy will, the introduction is on Sister Xuan, do we want to go to Xifu to make up a festival?"

"How could the well-behaved Princess Huangshi say such a thing?" Huang looked at the eldest sister-in-law and pointed meaningfully, "Are you still uncomfortable with King Zhongwen's case?"

Mrs. Zhang said lightly: "There is another story, the brother of the enemy family instigated the prince of Cheng Wang to fight against Fan, and Liang Zi always got married. ”

The Huang family was speechless, Gu Lao Taijun shook his head and sighed: "Our family can't bully people, we can't teach people to bully, they don't care about the friendship of three or four generations to embarrass the children, what else are we worried about, although the princess is not in the capital, can the in-laws watch their granddaughter being bullied in vain?"
