Chapter 266: The Father-in-law's Giving
Gu Muqing and Gu Muqi knelt on the ground and took the holy decree from Gonggong Li's hand, looked at each other, and said happily: "Great, this day has finally come." ”
Gu Muqi compounded Gu Muqing on the side and said, "Yes, yes." It's been a long time since we've been out together. ”
Gonggong Li looked at Princess Xuan and Mu Guiren in front of him with a kind smile on his face. Gu Muqing glanced at Gonggong Li, according to common sense, if this Gonggong Li finished reading the holy decree, he would return to the palace with his people. But today, looking at the two sisters with a smile on the side, there must be something to say to her.
She stood up and walked to Grandpa Li's side, and said to Grandpa Li, "Thank you Grandpa Li, I have to bother you to come and run in person for this little thing." ”
"Where, where, to be able to come to your Xuanwang Mansion often, it is also a blessing for the old slave." Gonggong Li clasped his hands, shook the dust and said to Gu Muqing, "I don't know if Mrs. is free, can I talk to the old slave?" ”
Gu Muqing looked at Gu Muqi, turned around and shouted to Gu Muqi at the top of his voice, "Sister, I have to talk to Gonggong Li about something first, you take Chunyu and them back first." After speaking, he took Gonggong Li to the side of the gate of the Xuanwang Mansion and asked Gonggong Li, "Gonggong Li, what's the matter, it's so grand?" ”
Gonggong Li pointed to Chunyu's back and asked, "Princess, this maid, is this a joy?" ”
Gu Muqing nodded and replied, "Yes, this is the maid who married the foreign cook invited by the emperor, and our master and servant have a good relationship on weekdays, so I cleaned a side courtyard for them and let them live here now." I don't like to change people, and I don't use others, so she's always been in this house. ”
"The princess is really a person who values love and righteousness." Gonggong Li waved at Gu Muqing, stretched his neck again, looked around, and said, "I don't know if Madame's other maid is there?" ”
Gu Muqing looked at Gonggong Li with a concerned look, and thought that Zhinan could successfully escape from the palace, Gonggong Li's help must have been a lot more, and he guessed a few points about the relationship between Gonggong Li and Zhinan.
She patted Gonggong Li's arm, asked him to focus on herself, and said to him, "Gonggong Li, don't look for it here, today, even if you tear your neck, you won't be able to find Zhinan." ”
"Miss Zhinan, is this in your mansion?" Gonggong Li asked with a sad face.
Since Zhinan returned to the Xuanwang Mansion from Yongbao Pavilion, Gonggong Li really couldn't see this righteous daughter of himself, and he didn't have any chance to see him. The words that Zhinan said to himself before he left made Gonggong Li's old heart a little more comforted. Every time I think about it late at night, I can still feel the heat in my chest.
I thought that today, I would take the opportunity to read the holy decree and come over to meet Zhinan to see how she is doing recently, whether she has any difficulties in life, or whether she lacks anything, a lot less, or something. I also secretly took some silver tickets that I had saved privately for so many years, put them in my cuffs, and thought that when I saw Zhinan, I would give her more, she was out now, and there were many new things, so I would buy more things for myself.
Gonggong Li read the holy decree in the Xuanwang Mansion this time, which can also be regarded as a lot of effort. Originally, this kind of small errand was naturally done by the little fathers-in-law under him, and he served the emperor in the hall on weekdays. He was able to come over today, but he still took sick leave with the emperor before he could come to this Xuanwang Mansion to choose the holy decree.
"yes." Gu Muqing replied to Li Gonggong, "Gonggong Li has something to do with Zhinan?" ”
Gonggong Li smiled bitterly, waved his hand, and said to Gu Muqing, "It's nothing, you also know that Zhinan recognized me as my father-in-law in this palace, this little girl, your princess, you really didn't see the wrong person, you are the same person who values love and righteousness, originally, during that time, I actually estimated that you and this concubine Niangniang, you and this concubine must have been working hard to investigate this case behind your back." Sending this Zhinan into the palace is nothing more than to facilitate the transmission of a word and a message between the two of you. ”
Gu Muqing touched the back of her head embarrassedly, sure enough, Jiang is still old and spicy, Gonggong Li has been in the palace for so many years, she thought it was a seamless plan, but she was still skewered by Gonggong Li.
Gonggong Li's eyes were sharp, and he saw what Gu Muqing was thinking, so he hurriedly said to her, "Princess Niangniang, the old slave is telling you these things now, either to blackmail you, or to tell you about this child Zhinan." ”
Gu Muqing nodded and let out a sigh, since Gonggong Li said so, she was relieved.
Gonggong Li went on to say, "I thought that ah, that Zhinan entered the palace and recognized me as her father-in-law, and I also helped her a lot back and forth, after this incident, I thought she might just leave, all when I was a tool in her scheme, I didn't expect this child, before leaving, in the Yongbao Pavilion, knelt in front of me, and told me a lot of heartfelt words, so that the old slave was very moved." ”
"That's why I want to come today, look at this child, I, who is a father-in-law, give some of my usual pocket money to the girl outside the palace, she is out of the palace The world outside the palace is colorful, Zhinan is smart by nature, kind and spiritual. Thinking that this money is given to her, if she is willing to buy something strange and like, she will buy some for herself, or if she wants to use the money to go out and do something, let her go and break in. ”
After speaking, he took out a stack of silver tickets from his sleeve pocket and handed them to Gu Muqing's hand.
Gu Muqing looked at a small dozen thick silver tickets in his hand, counted them several times, and was very shocked in his heart. The money that Gonggong Li gave to Zhinan may be a trivial matter for their Xuanwang Mansion, but in ordinary people's homes, this is an astonishing amount of money.
Gu Muqing looked at Gonggong Li with a shocked face and asked, "Gonggong Li, are you sure you want to give Zhinan so much money?" ”
Gonggong Li nodded and said, "Madam, it's not the first time you've dealt with the old slave, and I'm also Zhinan's father-in-law, so I won't see you here." I have been in the palace for so many years, and I have followed the emperor again, and this little has come and gone, and there are a lot of small favors given by various officials to the old slaves. But I don't have much to spend, so I've been saving, thinking that one day I can buy myself a good cemetery, and I can go peacefully. ”
After saying that, he looked at the silver ticket and smiled again.
