Gu Qinghuan took the heavy money bag and walked out of the palace gate, in a very good mood.

"Girl."

Ah Shuang followed behind Gu Qinghuan, holding Gu Qinghuan's arm with her little hand, looking left and right for a while, and then said, "Let's... Where to go first? ”

"Hmm..."

Gu Qinghuan looked around, pointed to the stall selling sugar gourds in the distance and said, "Of course, I went to buy sugar gourds first." ”

…

Ah Shuang was silent, there was no choice but to hurry forward to catch up with Gu Qinghuan.

Aunt Yuehua asked Gu Qinghuan to leave the palace to buy some things and send them to the Fourth Elder Brother's Mansion. By the way, I helped my aunt bring back a bottle of perfume that is now fashionable in the capital.

Half a day is enough for these things.

"Boss, I want two sugar gourds."

After Gu Qinghuan finished buying the sugar gourd, he turned around and stuffed a bunch for Ah Shuang, and said, "Come, it's for you." ”

Ah Shuang hurriedly took it, followed Gu Qinghuan's example, removed the paper on the outside of the sugar gourd, and ate one.

It's so delicious.

It's sweet, and it's the sour of hawthorn when you take a bite.

When she was a child, her family was poor, but she didn't have the opportunity to eat these.

"Is it delicious?"

Gu Qing looked at Ah Shuang happily and said, "When I was young, I liked to eat the sugar gourd that my brother bought for me. Sweet and sour, it's the taste of childhood. ”

"It's delicious."

Ah Shuang ate and nodded as if a chicken pecked rice.

"Fool." Gu Qinghuan chuckled, leaned over to Ah Shuang's ear again, lowered his voice and said, "I want to go home." ”

"Let's go back and have a look first, then go to the Fourth Elder Brother's Mansion to check, and finally buy incense and then go back to the palace."

"Uh-huh." Ah Shuang didn't have any opinions.

She's a one-size-fits-all figure. If you can go out of the palace, you can go anywhere.

Gu Qinghuan touched Ah Shuang's head with a double bun again, and said in his heart that this little girl is really cute and lovely.

Following his memory, Gu Qinghuan walked through the streets and alleys and came to the front of Gu's mansion.

The courtyard is cold.

"Is this Miss Qinghuan's home?"

Ah Shuang looked at the plaque at the entrance of Gu's mansion, then looked at the two stone lions that were clean, and said, "It's really good." ”

She doesn't have a home.

"Hmm."

Gu Qinghuan cleaned up his thoughts and went to knock on the door.

This house was still purchased by her Ama when she was the secretary of Honglu Temple. Afterward... Amma lost his office, but the mansion is still there. It's just that the mansions that used to be endless are now full of people.

Few people come to the Gu Mansion now, and the housekeeper felt strange when he heard the knock on the door, and when he opened the door, he was directly stunned when he saw that it was Gu Qinghuan.

"Girl, how are you..."

The butler's eyes immediately turned red.

"Madame... Madame, she..."

Gu Qinghuan hurriedly grabbed the butler's arm and asked, "What's wrong with Eniang?" ”

"Madame has been sick for the past few days, and she is sick with fever, and she has always been talking about you, girl. Girl, aren't you on an errand in the palace? How..."

Before the housekeeper's words could be finished, Gu Qinghuan hurriedly stepped forward and went towards his own mother's house.

In the main house.

Mrs. Gu leaned on the cushion and let Gu Qingxu feed herself medicine.

"Ahh Mrs. Gu drank half a bowl of medicine, and said weakly: "My body is fine, you still have to study, so let's go to the school first." ”

"Nope."

Gu Qingxu refused, and said righteously: "Eniang is sick, as a son, he should serve by the side." For the son of man, the filial son is the head. ”

“…”

Mrs. Gu glanced at her stubborn son, not knowing what to say.

Gu Qinghuan entered the house at this time.

Looking at Eniang's pale face in illness, Gu Qinghuan's heart suddenly twitched.

"E-niang!"

Gu Qinghuan shouted, and pounced directly.

Mrs. Gu and Gu Qingxu were stunned, and when they came back to their senses, Gu Qinghuan was already holding Mrs. Gu's hand and asking about the situation.

"The weather has turned cold these days, and E-Niang has caught a cold and is sick."

Gu Qingxu gritted his teeth and said, "It's cold, and the charcoal fire in the house is limited. Therefore..."

"Shut up!"

Mrs. Gu interrupted Gu Qingxu's words and said, "Now that the house is tight, your sister can easily come out of the palace, don't talk about this." ”

Gu Qinghuan immediately understood.

Today's Gu Mansion is just an empty shell. Even the charcoal fire in winter is not enough.

She, Amma, has now been demoted to an official position, and her income is limited. If it weren't for Gu Qinghuan's help over the years, I'm afraid it would have been a problem for Gu Qingxu to study in the school.

"It's fine."

Gu Qinghuan hurriedly took out his purse and said, "My daughter has done a good job on errands these days and has received some rewards. In recent days, my family has been able to be more comfortable. ”

She found out when she got her purse back.

There are more gold leaves.

Coupled with the silver hidden in the jacket that time, Gu Fu will really be able to have a slightly more prosperous winter this year.

"You keep some."

Gu Qingxu took most of it, lowered his head and said, "It's all useless for me to be an elder brother, and I want my sister to help." I... It's really shameless for you. ”

"Brother, don't be presumptuous."

Gu Qinghuan said: "Seventeen-year-old sons, there are not many since the founding of the Qing Dynasty. My brother is good at studying, and my sister will rely on you in the future. ”

"Yes." Gu Qingxu nodded firmly and said, "I won't let you down." ”

…

There was only a little talk in the house, and because Mrs. Gu still had to rest, Gu Qingxu took Gu Qinghuan out of the house and sat down in the pavilion in the courtyard.

"Pea yellow."

The maid put a snack up, and Gu Qinghuan saw the pea yellow, so she hurriedly took a piece.

Pea yellow is not a precious snack, but she has always liked it.

"Sister."

Gu Qingxu suddenly opened his mouth. When he looked at Gu Qinghuan, his face was sad.

"What's wrong?"

Gu Qinghuan's heart for eating dim sum paused slightly, and he couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in his heart.

Could it be that there is something wrong with Eniang's illness?

"There's something I want to ask you for."

Gu Qingxu said: "Do you remember when Ama was demoted? ”

Gu Qinghuan's face froze and nodded.

Four years ago, a certain prince of the Li Dynasty came to the Qing Dynasty and was arranged by Honglu Temple for reception.

Gu Qinghuan's Amma, as the secretary of Honglu Temple, has always held these banquets very well. But that time... But something went wrong.

After taking a sip of soup at the feast, Shizi's lips immediately swollen and his abdomen hurt unbearably.

After examination, the imperial doctor found that it was because the prince could not eat bean food. And before the banquet, the people of the Li Dynasty informed the prince of his eating habits in advance.

Unfortunately... Legumes were still present at the feast.

Shizi was so badly injured that time that he almost died. After getting better, he made a lot of noise, so Kangxi Ye must give him an explanation.

As a full-time department for receiving foreign guests, Honglu Temple naturally bore the brunt.

Gu Qinghuan's Ama is also Honglu Siqing, and it is even more difficult to escape the blame.

Li Chaoshizi's matter, he couldn't argue. If it weren't for his conscientious work as an official for many years, I am afraid that this matter would not only be lost and demoted, but it would be justified.

Speaking of the past, Gu Qinghuan bit his lip and felt wronged for Amma.

There was no way she could have made such a simple mistake.

"The cook who was in charge of the feast was put to death. But I found out afterwards... His wife is young, but now he has bought fertile land and a house in the suburbs of Beijing. ”

Gu Qingxu looked around, lowered his voice and said, "Our Ama was harmed by someone. ”

Hearing this, Gu Qinghuan's head went numb, and he immediately clenched his fists.

She has tasted what it is like to be framed, and she must not be forgiven!
