Chapter 9: The Father-in-law Arrives

In the flower hall in the front yard, Gu Qianqian was accompanying Gu Zhenglin to breakfast, and when she saw Gu Lanting coming, she didn't get up, put a crystal dumpling in her mouth and chewed it elegantly.

She is now the quasi-concubine of the Hou Mansion, and her status is noble!

"What's the matter?" Gu Lanting sat down casually, his eyes swept over the triumphant Gu Qianqian, and then looked at Gu Zhenglin.

Gu Zhenglin felt a little weak-hearted, he lowered his head and drank the porridge, and said in a muffled voice: "You pack up, today, you will move to live in another courtyard in the suburbs of Beijing." ”

"Why?"

Although Gu Lanting had expected that it was not a good thing, when he heard Gu Zhenglin say this, the five fingers that were supporting his knees slowly retracted, and then loosened again.

"Lan Ting, it's not that my father said you," he put down the porridge bowl and let out a long sigh: "Think about what you did yesterday, can I still rest assured that you will stay in the mansion?" ”

"So, is my father ready to abandon my daughter?" She chuckled, her eyes twinkling slightly.

"Eldest sister, my mother's body can't stand the fright anymore, my father is doing this for the sake of the Gu family's successors, can't you understand Dad's hard work?"

"It's still Qianqian sensible," Gu Zhenglin nodded: "Besides, it's not that you will live there all the time, and when Rongfang finishes giving birth, you can still go back to the house." ”

"This is easy to do," Gu Lanting twisted his fingertips lightly, looked at Gu Qianqian and said slowly: "The courtyard is quiet, it is very suitable for people who want to give birth to recuperate, you can move over with Chen Rongfang." ”

"The place in the annex is secluded and simple, is it inhabited?" Gu Qianqian's face showed disgust.

"Since you know it's not a place where people live, why do you still let me go?"

Gu Lanting actually said this to Gu Zhenglin.

"Ahem," Gu Zhenglin knew that he owed a little bit in terms of reason, and he embarrassedly pulled up a smile: "Lan Ting, you are leading the troops to fight, and your body and bones are naturally stronger, in this way, I will send more people to follow you, what do you think?" ”

"No, no." Gu Lanting stood up, his face indifferent.

"You, presumptuous......" Gu Zhenglin also stood up: "Gu Lanting, your wings are stiff, you don't even listen to my words, do you still have my father in your eyes?" ”

"Eldest sister, don't be stubborn with your father, you responded to your father's request, and there are a lot of pieces of meat, don't let your father be angry anymore."

The three of them were in a stalemate, and the door of the Hou Mansion hurriedly came to report, saying that the palace had sent a herald father-in-law, and he was dismounting at the gate of the mansion and preparing to come in.

Gu Qianqian's heart jumped, isn't this what Gu Zhenglin said last night?!

She was overjoyed, and suddenly she was indescribably excited, and followed Gu Zhenglin out quickly to greet her.

It was the emperor's chief eunuch Pei Gonggong who came, which showed that the emperor attached great importance to this matter.

Gu Zhenglin stepped forward and greeted him with a smile on his face: "Early in the morning, Gonggong Pei came in person, it was really hard. ”

"Gu Hou is serious, our family is doing things for the emperor, what kind of hard work is this little thing?" Gong Pei pushed Gu Zhenglin away fairly: "Gu Hou, when our family left the palace, the emperor specially instructed you to accept the order with General Gu." ”

"Let Lan Ting take the order together?" Gu Zhenglin said strangely, and after thinking about it, yes, the emperor may want to give Gu Lanting a deterrent, so that she will not be so arrogant in the mansion in the future!

Gu Qianqian, who was standing not far away, suddenly stepped forward at this time, she first politely bowed to Father-in-law Pei, and then whispered to Gu Zhenglin: "Dad, announcing such a big matter, my daughter thinks that her mother should be present." ”

"Yes, yes! Look at me, I almost forgot! Quick, go and help your mother out. ”

Gonggong Pei on the side smiled silently when he heard this: "Gu Hou, you might as well call everyone in the house to this courtyard, such a big matter, our family thinks that everyone in the house should listen to it." ”
