Chapter 21: The King's Reward

There is a lot of noise in Jiankang City.

Fortunately, Helian Hongyishe was able to do it, and before the rioters could react, the enthronement ceremony was over.

The new emperor ascended the throne and was named Wu Yuan.

Emperor Wuyuan Helian Hongyi followed his father Helian Bai to fight in the east and west since he was a child, and he had a high status in the army, and he was the crown prince canonized by Helian Bai himself, so although there was a small episode when he ascended the throne, he also passed it safely.

When everyone was surprised by Emperor Wu Yuan's quick action, the Gu family was secretly happy, who let Gu Fengmao marry his daughter to Helian Hongyi, who was still the crown prince, he had already labeled Helian Hongyi.

The current Gu family is a staunch supporter of the new emperor.

A few days ago, I was still complaining that my daughter married the prince as a side concubine, and the Wang family, who was wronged, is now in full bloom.

It's only been a long time, with Helian Hongyi's ascension to the throne, Gu Nianshu's tide has risen, and a small side concubine has become a first-class imperial concubine in seconds, and after a while, if she is loved by the emperor, she will be fortunate enough to conceive a dragon seed, give birth to a man and a half girl, enter the East Palace, be crowned the queen, and Fengyi will not be hopeless.

In this way, the Gu family did not take advantage of this shareholder wind and soared.

With Helian Hongyi ascending the throne as the emperor, the three side concubines of the original prince also followed into the palace, Gu Nianshu of the Gu family was named the concubine, Zheng Erpin, Pingwang Zhao Zhao Nanzhen was the concubine of De, the same is the second product, and Xie Xia of the Zhenguo Mansion is Zhaoyi, from the second product.

Gu Nianshu sealed a concubine of the right grade, which is the same as Shu in the name, but the Wang family was happy for a while, and the originally gloomy face also dissipated, and it was rare to show a long-lost smile to the people in the house, and he also treated the concubines who were unappetizing on weekdays.

On the day Gu Nianshu officially entered the palace, the Wang family received special treatment and was taken to the palace to see many unseen daughters, but Gu Banqin didn't know the specific situation.

But after returning from the palace, the corners of Wang's raised mouth couldn't be suppressed, and as soon as he returned to the mansion, Wang's rare opening of his own private treasury and gave a reward to the Gu Mansion, commonly known as buying people's hearts.

Even in the small and transparent Cuiwei Courtyard in the mansion, the income of the people under them is not counted, and Aunt Duan and Gu Banqin each received a reward of eighty taels of silver.

Eighty taels add up to one hundred and sixty taels, which is more than the silver taels that Gu Banqin and his mother can save without spending anything in a year.

Needless to say, when she received this money, Gu Banqin came to this world, and she had never seen so many silver taels at one time, but before she could see enough, she was put away by Aunt Duan under the pretext of keeping it for her as a dowry and put it in the treasure wooden box.

Gu Banqin looked at Aunt Duan's smile with big white teeth, and felt that her teeth were sore.

Aunt Duan couldn't help herself in the house, and insisted on taking Gu Banqin to thank the Wang family in person, but Gu Banqin couldn't stop her.

When they arrived at Wang's main courtyard, all the aunts were there, and everyone said good things about Wang's in a different way.

Seeing the Wang family, Aunt Duan also rarely abandoned her wooden temperament, stepped forward, and said a few good words, and the Wang family was also very applauded, nodding again and again when she heard it, and was extremely happy.

Only Gu Banqin glanced at the aunts in the room, and listened to the praise of the aunts over and over again, I don't think the Wang family is too happy.

Gu Banqin's probe was suspicious here, which immediately attracted Wang's attention, so Wang beckoned, and said to Gu Banqin in a rare kindness: "This is Sister Qin, come, take a step forward, let your mother take a good look at you." ”

In the ancient mansions, the raw wood of the concubine's children could only be called aunts, and the lady of the main house was the mother of all the concubines, and she could only be called mother.

When Gu Banqin heard Wang's call, the alarm bell sounded in her heart, but her face was not obvious, she just maintained her usual personality, was stunned for a moment, and then pretended to be at a loss, and moved forward.

Beside Wang, Aunt Duan was also stunned.

Gu Banqin walked in front of the Wang family and called out in a low voice: "Hello mother, the sixth lady has seen her mother, I wish my mother a long life than Nanshan and a blessing like the East China Sea." ”

As soon as these words of congratulations were spoken, everyone in the room turned their eyes to them.

Aunt Zhou, who was fast-talking, immediately laughed and said, "Sister Qin'er's words are good, but today is not Madame's birthday, so why use greetings indiscriminately." ”

Aunt Duan naturally wanted to defend her daughter, and immediately said to Wang: "Madame, forgive me, I am an uneducated and rough person, this greeting is what I teach Sister Qin on weekdays, this is not such a good day today, Sister Qin still thinks that everyone is congratulating Madame, so she will say it casually." ”

Wang's smile remained unchanged, as if he didn't see the small struggle between the two aunts, but he just stretched out his hands and held Gu Banqin's hands in his hands and rubbed them carefully, looking through them.

Then Wang's gaze was fixed on Gu Banqin's face and he didn't move.

Gu Banqin looked at Wang's blazing gaze and squeezed out a smile.

"Okay, good, Sister Qin is really handsome, she deserves to be the young lady of our Gu family, and her mouth is also sweet, I like it very much."

As soon as Wang opened his mouth, he gave Gu Banqin's fault for saying the wrong thing just now, and lightly revealed it.

Of course, Aunt Zhou below looked angry, but no one paid attention to her.

Wang let go of Gu Banqin's hand, and Gu Banqin could sense the satisfaction in Wang's eyes.

Satisfied with what?

Why satisfied?

Before Gu Banqin could figure out the meaning in Wang's eyes, Wang spoke again.

"Sister Qin'er, I like it very much, I remember that there is still a pair of pearl earrings from the South China Sea in the warehouse, right? Ding's mother"

The mother Ding in Wang's mouth is the mother who has served the Wang family for many years, and she has won the trust of the Wang family, and the aunts have to be respectful when they see Ding's mother.

The pearl of the South China Sea is a precious thing, although the quality is good and bad, but a good quality Pearl of the South China Sea is worth a thousand gold.

Gu Banqin didn't think that what could make Wang's mouth hang would be an ordinary bargain.

Mother Ding in the crowd walked out, thin and tall, with deep nasolabial folds on her face, and a dignified look.

Ding's mother saluted the Wang family and said, "Madame has a good memory, that pair of earrings was originally a congratulatory gift from the Mo family in Yucheng when Madame got married, and it is still in the warehouse." ”

The Yucheng Mo family and the Fuyang Wang family of the Wang family are both family members.

After listening to this, Wang said with a smile: "You said this, I remembered, which pair of earrings is in the shape of a lotus, inlaid with the pearl of the South China Sea, the color is too bright, I am no longer suitable for such a bright color, just suitable for a young and beautiful girl like Sister Qin." ”

Mother Ding knew the meaning of the song when she heard the song, and immediately said: "What Madam said is that the earrings have been in the library for a long time, and God can't see it, so I want to come out to meet the sixth lady." ”

"As long as you can speak, okay, quickly, take that pair of earrings and give them to Sister Qin'er."

Ding's mother bowed down and went to the warehouse to get the earrings.
