She yawned, first glanced around a little blankly, and subconsciously shouted: "Baizhu." ”

But hearing that no one responded, she realized in hindsight that she was not in the mansion, but came out with Qin Zheng.

The earth dragon in the house was extremely hot, she sat on the bed with the quilt in her arms, and as soon as she raised her eyes, she saw Qin Zheng walking in from outside the door.

"Awake?"

He was still carrying a food box in his hand, and when he saw that Gu Jiu was awake, he put the food box on the table, and he entered the inner room: "Why don't you sleep for a while?" ”

The man's voice was warm and gentle, because he was afraid that the cold on his body would give Gu Jiu too much, so he didn't go to her side, but went to the cabinet next to him to get a change of clothes.

Gu Jiu shook his head with a smile and said, "Don't be sleepy." ”

As she spoke, she got up and put on her clothes, Qin Zheng had already put the meal on the table.

The simple four dishes and one soup are not as exquisite and luxurious as those made in the house, but the taste is good, and because it is a rural thing, the taste is more natural.

After eating, Qin Zheng took her around for a while, and when they came back, they were chilled and happened to go to the hot spring in the soup pool.

It was a natural spring at the beginning, so the courtyard was built and a hot spring pool was dug to create such a small world.

The temperature of the pool water was just right, and the chill dissipated from his body, Gu Jiu couldn't help but sigh comfortably.

In the next two days, no matter how chaotic the capital was, Qin Zheng and the others stole half a day of leisure in Beizhuang, and their lives were very comfortable.

It was not until the fifth day of the first lunar month that the two returned to Beijing from the other courtyard.

The winter wind is cold, although it is the New Year, but because of the great purge in Beijing in the past two days, even the people are closed and the number of times they go out is reduced.

Gu Jiu and Qin Zheng have been in the courtyard for the past few days, and they don't know what happened in Beijing at this time, but looking at the situation on this street, they can't help but feel a sinking in their hearts.

She suddenly remembered that although Qin Zheng had been in the suburbs with her for the past few days, the carrier pigeon that carried the message had never stopped, flying in and out without stopping.

Thinking of this, she subconsciously looked at Qin Zheng, but saw that the other party's eyebrows and eyes were also a little more dignified.

"Husband."

Gu Jiu called him, Qin Zheng turned around, and after seeing Gu Jiu's expression, it was instantly clear what she wanted to ask.

He coughed lightly and said, "Don't worry, it's all over." ”

As soon as these words came out, Gu Jiu's heart sank, and his eyebrows condensed and asked, "What does the husband mean?" ”

The next moment, I saw Qin Zheng make a hand-turning movement in the direction of the imperial city.

Jingzhong has really changed.

Seeing Gu Jiu's worried expression, Qin Zheng chuckled lightly and said, "Madame, rest assured, the overall situation has been decided, and there is nothing to worry about." ”

He comforted Gu Jiu, but Gu Jiu was always a little worried, after returning home, seeing that Qin Zheng was busy, she herself called someone to ask about the changes in Beijing these days.

The news in Beijing these days is clearly visible even if you don't deliberately inquire about it.

What's more, it is still Su Che who is returning the news now - Qin Zheng stayed to do things for himself.

Gu Jiu listened to Su Che's reply, and after hearing the news of "The Great Prince Supervising the Country", he was slightly stunned, frowned and asked, "You say, the emperor ordered the Great Prince to supervise the country?" ”

Hearing this, Su Che nodded and said softly: "On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the emperor made this will, it stands to reason that it should not be so urgent, after all, the court will only open on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year." ”

But the emperor seemed to be impatient.

Or rather, someone can't wait.

The deep meaning of his words, Gu Jiu naturally understood.

She nodded and said, "What about the other than that?" ”

Su Che pondered for a moment before he said: "In addition, the four princes are disrespectful to their superiors, and all the people related to them have been imprisoned. ”

Originally, matters related to the royal family should be under the jurisdiction of Dali Temple. I don't know if it was because Qin Zheng was not in Beijing in those days, so he was all handed over to the Criminal Department.

Naturally, for this New Year, which could have been a peaceful rest, but was called up for a temporary office, the people in the Criminal Department did not dare to be angry or speak.

After Gu Jiu listened, he felt more and more that the sense of disobedience in his heart was aggravated.

It can be regarded as a coincidence, Qin Zheng happened to be not in Beijing.

In those days, did he anticipate it in advance, so he took himself out?

She thought so in her heart, and when she saw that Su Che was still standing in place, she waved him out.

After Su Che left, Gu Jiu exhaled a breath of turbid air faintly. 62

No wonder Qin Zheng said that the sky is going to change in Beijing.

Among the four sons who have reached adulthood today, the second prince and the third prince were the most promising. But now, one of these two people has died and one has been demoted to concubines, and the remaining four princes and one party have also completely declined.

Only the eldest prince stood on a high place unexpectedly, and now he has taken care of the power of the state.

To know...... Throughout the ages, only the crown prince could supervise the country!

It seems that after the sixth day of the new year, there will be big news in the near future.

……

Gu Jiu guessed well, on the tenth day of the first lunar month, the emperor made a decree to canonize the eldest prince as the crown prince, and at the same time, because his illness has worsened recently, everything in the capital is handed over to the eldest prince.

He took charge of the affairs of the court, although he was assisted by the nominal three courtiers, but anyone with a discerning eye could see who was in charge of the house in this capital now.

Fortunately, those treacherous situations do not include Qin Zheng.

Even compared to before, Qin Zheng was more idle.

For example, in the past few days, he has been tired of being by Gu Jiu's side day by day, and he has gone with her to help decorate the new house.

Because of that marriage proposal, Zhuangzi not only got a beauty, but also set the wedding date directly on the fifteenth day of the first month.

Shangyuan Festival Lantern Festival, a good day of the year.

The Earl's Mansion in the Zhuangzi period has been renewed, from the inside to the outside, and everywhere you see is a happy color, just waiting for the newcomer to enter.

Not far from the plain Bofu, it is also full of joy.

The auspicious time has not yet arrived, and the dealer has not yet come to marry, but the happy house is busy.

From the night to now, Cheng Zhilan has not closed her eyes, and on the third watch, the bridesmaidens came to comb her hair and change her clothes, and her younger siblings are even more busy, and she can be seen coming in and out from time to time.

Cheng Zhilan was used to worrying about it in the past, but today she has become the idler, and when the happy ladies clean up for her, she waved her hand to let people go down to rest, and she leaned back on the chair in a daze.

Who would have thought that just as he was about to close his eyes, he heard footsteps outside.

"Didn't my brother and sister just go out, but what's ......?"

Before she finished speaking, she laughed for a while: "Why is my brother here?" ”

The person who came was none other than Pingyuan Bo Qian Zixiao.

"Sister-in-law, I'll come and see you."

He pursed his lips, the calm and majesty of the past was gone, and if you look closely at those eyebrows, you can still see a few ...... Grievance.

Yes, grievances.

Seeing him like this, Cheng Zhilan smiled and said, "Sit down." ”

As she spoke, she ordered someone to bring tea.

When he turned around, he saw the blue and black circles under Qian Zixiao's eyes, and said again: "You haven't slept all night?" ”

It wasn't just one night, in fact, he hadn't slept well for a few days.

With Cheng Zhilan's marriage imminent, Qian Zixiao is more nervous than her.

However, in front of Cheng Zhilan at this time, he couldn't say anything, just handed her a box: "Sister-in-law, please accept it." ”

The box is simple and heavy, and it has been looking for some years.

Cheng Zhilan smiled in surprise and asked, "What is this?" ”

Qian Zixiao didn't say, just motioned for her to open the box.

After opening it, when she saw the things inside, the smile on Cheng Zhilan's lips became stunned.

Immediately, she handed the box back and said, "I can't ask for these." ”

This is the title deed and other things, she has been in charge of the house for many years, and it is clear at a cursory glance that at least half of the family properties of the Plains Bofu are contained here.

She couldn't take it.

But Qian Zixiao refused, and said, "Sister-in-law, this is what you deserve." ”

Seeing that Cheng Zhilan was still refusing, he approached her a little closer, and said in an astringent tone: "Over the years, if it weren't for your struggling support, the Plains Bofu would have dispersed long ago, where would there be today's scenery?" Now that you are going to get married, I have nothing to give you but the money I can get. Sister-in-law ......"

When he said this, he raised his head to look at Cheng Zhilan again, and said, "Although you and I are not related by blood, you treat me better than your closest relatives." If you get married today, you will be my sister Qin in the future, and Pingyuan Bofu will always be your maiden home. No matter what happens, I just want you to know that this is not only open for you, but also for you. ”
