Looking at the towering and tall city walls, An An said with a smile: "Grandma, I finally rushed back before the Mid-Autumn Festival." ”

Old Madam Gu said, "Yes! Otherwise, our grandparents and grandchildren will have to go on the road again for the holidays. ”

When the two returned home, they realized that Qingshu was not at home, and they had not prepared anything for the holiday.

Old Madam Gu frowned and asked, "An An, I didn't ask you to write a letter to tell you Qingshu that we would come back for the Mid-Autumn Festival." ”

"Grandma, I wrote. But now it seems that my sister should not have received the letter. An An smiled and said: "But it doesn't matter, it's not too late to prepare for the festival tomorrow." ”

Old Madam Gu nodded, sat down and asked Chen's mother, "Tell me what happened at home during this time?" ”

Chen's mother shook her head and said, "There is nothing to do at home, but there are many things to do with the eldest girl." ”

"What's wrong?"

Mother Chen said with a bitter face: "The eldest girl went to the Ministry of Rites on an errand, and now she is the secretary of the Department of Rites. ”

"Old lady, I persuaded and persuaded the girl not to take this errand, but the girl did not listen to me. I was so worried that I hadn't fallen asleep for most of the month. ”

An An was surprised and delighted: "My sister is so powerful, she is an official." ”

Old Madam Gu has a black line.

Mother Chen continued: "Not only that, the girl also appointed the Duchess of Zhenguo as her godmother. Just ten days ago, the Guogong Mansion set up a drink for this matter. ”

Compared with the previous news, the old lady Gu didn't feel anything. Mrs. Wu had already told Mrs. Gu that she wanted to recognize Shu as her goddaughter, but at that time, Mrs. Gu said that as long as Qingshu nodded, she had no opinion.

An An inevitably thought a little too much and asked, "Why did my sister agree to admit her marriage?" ”

Before, her sister never let go, thinking that it was not good to recognize her relatives, and she would make people say that they should cling to the powerful and not their biological parents.

Mother Chen couldn't help but sigh: "It's all the merry son of the Xiao family, who drank two glasses of wine and teased my girl like crazy." The girl was furious and asked the Jiang guards to beat him. The Xiao family wanted to take revenge on the girl, so the girl hid in the Guogong Mansion. Then the girl agreed to confess her marriage. ”

"Is there anything else?"

Chen's mother told the previous rumor: "I don't know which one who killed a thousand knives actually made up and ruined the reputation of the eldest girl." That Xiao Wuye didn't know who instigated him, so he molested the girl in public. ”

An An scolded angrily: "Bastard, why didn't you beat him to death!" ”

Originally, she was in a very good mood when she returned to Beijing, but this old lady Gu felt very bad: "You go to the Guogong Mansion and call the eldest girl back." ”

Chen's mother answered.

Old Madam Gu said: "This kid is really getting more and more bold. I've only been in Beijing for two months, and she made such a big deal for me. ”

An An stood on Qingshu's side and said, "Grandma, it's the eldest sister of the eldest father who went to work in the Ministry of Rites. The eldest princess takes a lot of care of her sister, and she can't refuse? ”

"If it's not good, you have to refuse. You are so good at being a female official, she is pulling out her beard. Those rumors are just the beginning, and I don't know what awaits me in the future! ”

An An was taken aback: "Won't it?" In any case, the elder sister was assigned by the eldest princess. ”

"What about the eldest princess assigned to it? They don't do anything on the surface, but they can do it behind their backs. Like this time, your sister can't say that she is suffering. Old Madam Gu said: "Once or twice, Jingene can be tolerated, but how many times?" In case Jing Ene withdraws, your sister will not have to marry in her life. ”

An An hesitated a little and asked, "Grandma, shouldn't it be that serious?" ”

"It's more serious than I said, but as long as your sister quits this errand, it will be fine."

An An hesitated and said, "Grandma, it's up to my sister to make up her own mind about this matter!" My grandmother and sister are not three-year-olds, and I'm sure she'd thought about them when she took on this errand. ”

Old Madam Gu categorically refused: "No, I can ignore other things, but she must listen to me in this matter." ”

An An persuaded for a long time but couldn't get Old Madam Gu to change her mind, so she had no choice but to give up. I secretly said in my heart, I hope my sister can resist the pressure of my grandmother.

When Chen's mother arrived at the Guogong Mansion, Qingshu was presenting the finished mooncakes to Mrs. Wu to taste.

Old Madam Gu ate a ham mooncake, and after eating, she nodded and said, "Well, sweet and salty, the taste is very chic." ”

Qingshu made many flavors, in addition to ham mooncakes, he also made many flavors of mooncakes such as egg yolk, bean paste and tea.

Mrs. Wu ate a bean paste mooncake, and after eating, she said with a smile: "Qingshu, your hands are really skillful, the taste of this mooncake is not inferior to that in the Daoxiang Garden." ”

Qing Shu said a little humbly: "Godmother, you have won the award, how can I compare with the master of Daoxiangyuan." ”

Mrs. Wu smiled and said, "It's really cheap, Jing Ene's kid." My family is not only talented and beautiful, but also has good cooking skills. ”

As she was talking, her grandmother replied, "Old lady, madam, someone from the Gu family said that Old Madam Gu is back." ”

Qingshu was pleasantly surprised: "Grandma is back." Grandmother, godmother, I have to go back. ”

Mrs. Wu stood up and said with a smile, "Qingshu, I'll go with you." ”

First, it is to make amends, although it is a matter of urgency to recognize relatives, but in the end it did not ask for the consent of Mrs. Gu; Second, I also went to invite Mrs. Gu to the Guogong Mansion to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival together.

Old Madam Gu originally saw Qingshu and asked her to resign from the errand of the Ministry of Rites. But seeing that Mrs. Wu was also here, she could only press this matter down temporarily.

Mrs. Wu said: "Auntie, I should wait for you to come back and get your consent, and then choose an auspicious day for the zodiac to hold a banquet." It's also that I'm too anxious, and I ask my aunt not to blame. ”

Old Madam Gu hurriedly said: "I thank you for being too late, how can you blame." If it weren't for you, I don't know if I would have been able to see this girl! ”

When Mrs. Wu heard this, she said: "Don't blame Qingshu, it's all those people who have bad intentions and don't see people's good, so they use these three indiscriminate methods." ”

If it were anyone else, she would have said that women should not be officials. But the Wu family is different, the title of Zhenguo Mansion was earned by the eldest princess back then.

Mrs. Wu smiled and invited the old lady to the Guogong Mansion for the Mid-Autumn Festival: "Qingshu has recognized his relatives, we are a family." Don't shirk it, or you'll treat me as an outsider. ”

Seeing Mrs. Wu's warm invitation, and thinking about the Wu family's care for Qingshu, Mrs. Gu still nodded and agreed.

Taking advantage of the time when the two were talking, An An pulled Qingshu and walked out: "Sister, grandma opposes you being a female official, you have to deal with it." ”

Qing Shu had already known that Old Madam Gu would object, so he was not surprised to hear this.

An An whispered: "Sister, grandma is worried that my brother-in-law will have a dislike with you because of this matter, so she will withdraw from your marriage. Sister, brother-in-law also opposes you becoming an official? ”

Qingshu shook his head and said, "No, he supports it." He also said that once you have done it, you must do a good job and don't give up halfway, let alone care about those gossips. ”

An An was relieved: "That's good, that's good." ”
