Chapter 2 The little girl of the Gu family who crossed over
Gu Hou Mansion
When Gu Nian woke up, she couldn't open her eyes because of a burst of headaches. If you don't apply for the annual leave you have saved up for a long time, you won't have time to sleep lazy.
I must have slept for too long and was dizzy. Gu Nian thought to himself, after waking up, you can order any takeout to eat, anyway, I am really hungry when I sleep this night.
Suddenly, a pleasant voice like a silver bell completely interrupted Gu Nian's confusion: "Miss, why is Miss still sleeping?" It's early for the lord to go down today, it's time to wait. ”
Gu Nianqian opened his eyes: "What the hell, who is talking?" ”
She lifted the plain curtain of the bed and saw the antique room. The room furnishings are excellent, gorgeous but unassuming. She was half-stretched, touching the footstool on the edge of the bed, tsk, is it mahogany? So rich, where is this?
An unrealistic thought burst into her mind, "Isn't it Gu Nian, I usually follow the director to pick up a book and read too much, right, are you dreaming of crossing?" She didn't bother to put on her shoes and jumped out of bed barefoot.
The whole room was very neat and spotless, she picked up a vase casually, and then let go, the vase fell freely, and fell to the ground with a bang.
"Shhh With such a real pain, Gu Nian began to wonder if this was a dream or not.
"Miss?" The door creaked open, and a little girl dressed like a costume drama ran in, "Miss, are you okay?" ”
Gu Nian's eyes widened, could it really be a crossing?
"Holy!" She quickly picked up a sharp shard and scratched it on her hand, blood dripping out with pain.
"Ahh The little girl screamed in shock, "Miss, what are you doing!" She snatched the fragment from Gu Nian's hand, and in a panic, she took out a handkerchief and covered it on the scratched wound.
This real pain made Gu Nian have to seriously consider the current situation, she pushed away the little girl's hand and took the wound into her mouth: "It's not a big problem, I recognize you, you are you..."
Gu Nianxu began to stutter halfway, the little girl in front of her looked like she was clear and beautiful, but she was only fifteen or sixteen years old, but she really couldn't name it.
"Miss, Qiu Tong will go and ask you for a doctor immediately." This little girl named Qiu Tong squatted on the ground and bothered to clean up the pieces.
Okay, good, this self-reported home is good. Gu Nian thought to himself, it would be better if he introduced himself again.
She stopped Qiu Tong, "The doctor doesn't have to call, it's not a big deal." She was glad that her brain was still there, and she didn't dig too deep.
"No, Miss, this wound is bleeding, it's a little later..."
Gu Nian covered Qiu Tong's mouth: "If you delay a little later, the wound will scab off, stop it." ”
Qiu Tong nodded as if he didn't understand, "Miss, I just freshened up for you, why did you lie down and fall asleep again?" The master is still waiting for you to have breakfast. ”
"I'm hungry, let's go." Gu Nian became perfunctory.
There is a small pond in the courtyard outside the boudoir, and there are a lot of koi in it, Gu Nian looked up at the sky, blue and clear. She took a deep breath, it's so good, the air here is so good, there's no pollution.
"Miss?" Qiu Tong looked back at Gu Nian suspiciously.
"This is coming, lead the way." Gu Nian waved his hand, not hiding his curiosity at all, and looked around.
In the side hall, the old man of the Gu family was drinking tea with the second son of the Gu family.
At the same time as Gu Nian entered the door, fresh refreshments were also put on the table.
Gu Nian learned the impression that the etiquette teacher taught the actors to salute during filming. She looked up and saw a kind-faced middle-aged man reading a book, and she guessed and greeted, "Father." ”
Gu Houye raised his head: "Why did you get up so late?" His voice was low, but he couldn't hide the care hidden inside.
"Snooz for a while." Gu Nian replied, but his eyes were fixed on the refreshments on the table.
Fried fritters, meat-filled buns, crystal clear shrimp dumplings, small and delicate pastries, such as mung bean cakes, hawthorn cakes, steaming red bean porridge, and fresh grapes, this breakfast is so fragrant.
Gu Nian sighed, people in this era are too happy, they have to eat first, and it's not too late to study the current situation when they are full.
"Early today, the ministers proposed that His Majesty draft the draft, Gu Duo, what do you think?" Gu Hou put down the book in his hand and pressed the teacup in Gu Duo's hand.
"Your Majesty is at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period," Gu Duo clasped his hands into fists and gestured to the sky, "There are only three mothers in the harem, although the harem is all out, the eldest prince, the third prince and the fifth prince have also become mansions one after another, but the back seat is vacant." The courtiers are also for His Majesty and for the sake of the country. ”
"What about Qi Yuan?"
"The daughter of Qi Guogong is the concubine of His Majesty today, although the three princes she raised are not biological, but they also have more than ten years of nurturing feelings, if Qi Guogong openly opposes His Majesty's draft in the court, I am afraid it will arouse His Majesty's suspicion." Gu Duo got up and poured tea for Gu Hou.
Originally, Gu Nian was not interested in their conversation, but when Gu Hou said about the draft, the cake in Gu Nian's mouth almost squirted out. Gu Nian thought to himself, sure enough, the emperors in ancient times were all old hooligans, how old they were and their minds were full of drafts, and their grandchildren were about to have them.
Gu Hou snorted, took a sip of tea and said, "That old guy Qi Yuan, it really took a lot of effort to get his daughter on the throne. ”
"If it's just to prevent His Majesty from being suspicious, then you just need to agree, why is it the one with the highest voice?" Gu Duo was puzzled, "Could it be that he still wants to recommend other show girls to compete with his daughter for favor?" ”
"Qi Yuan is not old and confused." Gu Hou rolled up his finger and slapped it on Gu Duo's head, "He proposed that all old ministers with daughters of appropriate age should be recommended to the top and participate in the draft, which can not only win the hearts of the courtiers, but also dispel His Majesty's suspicions about him a little." ”
Hearing this, Gu Niangang squirted out the water in his mouth.
"Nian Nian!" Gu Duo glanced at Gu Nian, "A woman should have the appearance of a woman." ”
"I don't want to go to the draft. I'm young, so I guess it's none of my business, right? Gu Nian hugged the bowl, staring at his eyes and trying to pretend to be pitiful.
Gu Hou didn't look surprised, he closed his eyes and tidied up the cushions, "If you don't go, you have to go." ”
"Father, what good can my daughter do when she enters the palace and compete with those women for favor, I won't go! Send me away, it's still too late. Gu Nian couldn't cry or laugh, people crossed through with the handsome and cold prince who had a story-like beautiful and moving emotion, how did he get here, he was going to be a stepmother to a group of children who might be as old as himself?
Gu Nian's brain made up for the appearance of the current emperor who was over half a hundred years old, and shook his head frantically. "Send me away."
"When you're done eating, you go down, don't continue to make noise here and disturb your father's rest." Gu Duo got up and took Gu Nian out, and walked to the end of the corridor, he saw that there was no one around, and asked in a low voice: "Nian Nian, do you really want to participate in the draft?" ”
"I really don't want to, brother," Gu Nian took Gu Duo's hand and was about to cry. She felt that the current Gu Duo was eight feet tall.
"Brother will give you a way, don't worry. Recently, there have been a lot of things in the DPRK and China, so don't bother your father. Gu Duo patted Gu Nian's shoulder, turned around and walked towards the side hall.
