Chapter Eighty-Six: Lady Picture
The old ancestor had no choice but to look at Gu Wanniang, "That's it, I let Mrs. Shizi enter the palace and ask the queen for advice." ”
"It's still the ancestor who is the best for the late mother." Gu Wanniang slapped the old ancestor on the shoulder, and when she saw that the old ancestor was not in a hurry, she reminded the old ancestor of the time again.
"Ancestor, it's just that this mother's death day is coming soon, I don't know if Sister Lian will be able to catch up with this Chang'an City......"
Seeing Gu Wanniang's wrinkled little face, the old ancestor was helpless, and called out to the door, "Eight returns? ”
Bagui is naturally gone, and it is Basai who lifts up the curtain and comes in.
Basai: "Ancestor, Bagui went to the small kitchen to get something from the warehouse steward, and the ancestor called Basai again." ”
Hearing that Bagui was not there, the old ancestor was silent, and after a pause, he said a little uncertainly: "I went to invite Mrs. Shizi to come to my place, I have something I want to tell Mrs. Shizi." ”
Basai saluted, "Basai will go and invite Mrs. Shizi." ”
"Are you satisfied with this?"
Although the old ancestor was still joking with Gu Wanniang, Gu Wanniang noticed that the old ancestor obviously looked wrong.
Could it be that the old ancestor had already suspected Basai?
Gu Wanniang didn't wait for Mrs. Shizi to come over at the ancestor's place, after all, it was a conversation between the elders, if Gu Wanniang was here, Mrs. Shizi would definitely think more.
Gu Wanniang stepped out of the gate of this Meilan Courtyard just now, and said to Mama Yu: "Mama will clean up the west wing of my courtyard when she goes back, I think Sister Lian and Aunt Lian will be here soon." ”
As long as the letter arrives in Jinling, I am afraid that Zhao Wanlian will leave immediately without packing her bags.
Mama Yu: "Girl, why don't you arrange Miss Cousin and Mrs. Uncle in the guest room, but in the girl's courtyard?" ”
Although Gu Wanniang also lived with Zhao Wanlian when she was young, after all, they are now two big girls, and besides, there is an uncle's wife.
"It's been a long time since I've seen my mother's relatives, so it's good to be so close."
Gu Wanniang still didn't make it clear to say to Mama Yu, Mama Yu lowered her eyes, but she was obedient and didn't ask more.
Gu Wanniang looked at Mama Yu's etiquette, and she had never made any mistakes, even with this momentum, she was not inferior to the old grandmother in the noble family, and even comparable to the grandmother in the palace.
In this way, it is not at all like a mother-in-law who has been in a farmhouse for many years. Speaking of which, no one knows where Mama Yu settled down after leaving the Nanyang Hou Mansion, only that she was in the south.
"Mama Yu......"
"What's the matter with the girl?"
Gu Wanniang: "After my mother passed away, I was really heartbroken when I saw Mama Yu, saying that I was going to ask for a decree to go home, but I didn't know that Mama Yu was from the south? ”
Mama Yu: "The old slave ancestor was from the south, and he was also in the south when he was young, but he later followed a family into the Zhao family as a slave. ”
"Speaking of the Zhao Mansion at that time, it was not the Zhao Mansion today, it was the Xunbei Hou Mansion."
Xunbei Hou, this title is too long, even in this Chang'an City full of nobles, I am afraid that no one remembers Xunbei Hou. It is different from the Nanyang Hou Mansion and the Zhen'an Hou Mansion to assist the founding monarch of the Jokhang to open up the country.
The title of Marquis of Xunbei was awarded by the emperor of the previous dynasty and was a relative of the emperor of the previous dynasty.
The first Marquis of Xunbei was the youngest son of the emperor of the previous dynasty, but he opened the gate of Chang'an City, so that the Marquis of Nanyang led the army into Chang'an City without a single soldier, and handed over the jade seal in front of Emperor Zhao, and took the palace to kneel down to worship the new emperor.
Since then, the founding monarch has been all the remnants except for the emperors of the previous dynasty, except for the Xunbei Marquis family.
Although he retained the title, he was not a former dynasty in the end, and he was a rebel minister, and the Marquis of Xunbei was in great decline. When it came to Gu Wanniang's father's generation, he only got the official position of Lieutenant General Wupinlang.
Although it was a temporary peace, but in the end it was not long, in the ninth year of Jian'an, General Xue Zuo mutinied, assisted the prince to seize the heir, and was defeated and executed.
At that time, it was rumored that General Xue Zuo wrote a letter before raising his troops, which was written by General Xue Zuo to a beautiful woman, a full ten pages. Sprinkled with joy, the sky and the landscape, the mountains and rivers are thousands of miles, there has never been love and hatred, nor has there been the righteousness of the family and country, let alone signed to say who it is written to.
But all the people are sure that it is the Xunbei Hou Mansion, even if the Xunbei Hou Mansion was only one Zhao Wanlian who was only eight years old at the time, the Xunbei Hou Mansion did not avoid sitting together.
Gu Wanniang: "Xunbei Hou Mansion is a taboo in Chang'an City. ”
Mama Yu was silent, the so-called taboo, there are still people who dare not mention it, that is, they avoid it.
It is said that if it weren't for the nine-year battle for the heir of Jian'an, there would have been no current saint at all, and naturally there would be no current King Qin.
Gu Wanniang said that she would meet the Changmei Courtyard, and seeing that there were few people in the courtyard, she let the stunned guard the door and not let people in.
Seeing Gu Wanniang's serious appearance, Mama Yu came to the door carefully, "I don't know what the girl has to say?" ”
Gu Wanniang didn't know what she was looking for, so she stood on tiptoe and was looking for something in one of her bookcases.
"What are you looking for?"
"A calligraphy and painting."
"It's a portrait of my mother, my father has always disliked it, and when I cleared my mother's relics, I wanted to lose this portrait, if I didn't think I had an association, I'm afraid my father would have burned it a long time ago."
Mama Yu walked to a painting tube and found a calligraphy and painting from the innermost, all of which were dusty, and her hands were dirty when she picked them up.
"Mama, I have something that has been bothering me for a long time, I don't know if Mama can tell me?"
"What does the girl want to ask?"
Gu Wanniang saw that Mama Yu was holding the portrait full of ashes, she never spread it out, nor touched the ashes, but she deliberately held it in her hand, not wanting Gu Wanniang to take it.
"Mama spread out."
Mama Yu: "Girl, this is Madame's relic, the third master doesn't like it, and the girl doesn't like it, even if it's like this, it's lost." ”
Gu Wanniang really didn't like this calligraphy and painting, because when Gu Wanniang was young, Mrs. Gu San would spread out the calligraphy and painting every time she quarreled with Gu Sanye, and she would cry alone.
And Gu Sanye would always go to drink after arguing, and when he returned home after drinking, he saw that Gu Sanye took out this calligraphy and painting, and she still cried, so she would become more and more angry.
One day at a time, one at a time, over and over again.
Gu Wanniang hated this painting, naturally because it was Mrs. Gu San's tears that she didn't know how much, and Gu Sanye's anger that she didn't know how much.
But Gu Wanniang seemed to remember something, as if something was wrong.
"Mama Yu, spread it out."
Gu Wanniang's tone was cold, and her face became more and more unsightly, yes, it must be so.
Mama Yu had no choice but to get Gu Wanniang's order to spread out the calligraphy and painting.
