Chapter 425: Steps

In the courtyard in the depths of winter, it was white.

Gan Peilin wore a peach-pink skirt gown, like a blooming plum blossom standing in front of the court. The white snow, reflecting her slim figure, will make people feel that the years are quiet, and there is also such a warmth in the ice and snow.

"Grandpa Cao." She bent her knees slightly, smiling sweetly: "You came here in person, could it be done?" ”

"It's finished." Cao Yixun nodded neatly. "Everything is as you expected."

The big stone in Gan Peilin's heart finally landed.

Gan Yuntian heard the voice and walked out quickly: "Cao Shibo is here, please sit inside." ”

Cao Yixun nodded: "Jiang Xiang's contribution to successfully convincing the Queen Mother this time is indispensable." If it weren't for his reluctance to stand up and fight, I'm afraid this matter would have fallen on him as the Queen Mother wished. ”

Gan Yuntian nodded neatly: "When the first emperor was here, he wanted to dismiss his little nephew many times. This time, the Queen Mother finally teamed up with King Huiqing to find an opportunity to marry her little nephew, how could she be willing to use it again. Thanks to Shi Berken for the little nephew. ”

"Huh!" Cao Yixun shook his head: "Da Sima is a good general, the big war is just around the corner, how can the old man let anyone abolish the public for personal reasons." ”

"What Shi Bo said is very true." Gan Yuntian said solemnly: "The new emperor is young, and the power in the DPRK and China is in the hands of the Queen Mother alone. No matter how much prejudice she has about Ganfu, before the war, everything must be in the interests of the DPRK and China. The little nephew promised Shibo that he would do his best to fight the enemy army and protect his family and country. ”

"Very good." Cao Yixun smoothed his beard and said, "Da Sima is the most blessed to have such a good girl as Peilin." Not to mention being smart, but also sharp-eyed. If she hadn't come to me, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to do it. ”

"Grandpa Cao is so complimentary, where do I understand so much. It's just that he knows Grandpa Cao's prestige in the palace. Gan Peilin smiled lightly.

"Shibo, let's study the next step." Gan Yuntian was obviously respectful.

"It's fine." Cao Yixun nodded in response.

"Then Peilin won't bother Grandpa Cao and his father to discuss the matter, and retire first." Gan Peilin got up and saluted, and then instructed the maid waiting under the corridor outside the study to prepare tea and pastries to be delivered.

Out of this courtyard, I met Wang Qingchan's mother and daughter.

Gan Yawen was as timid as ever, and buried her head very low when she saluted Gan Peilin.

Wang Qingchan had a smile on her face: "It's still Peilin, you have the best way." The lord can go out of the mountain again and fight for the imperial court, it is all your credit. ”

Gan Peilin smiled slightly: "Where do I have any credit, I just hope that no one is making trouble behind my back." ”

Some can't get off the stage, Wang Qingchan wants to defend herself.

But before he opened his mouth, Gan Peilin had already left quickly.

"Mother...... Big sister is so scary. Gan Yawen looked at herself with a trembling look at Wang Qingchan.

"Scary what?" Wang Qingchan pretended to be calm and said: "Don't talk nonsense in children's families. ”

"Isn't it?" Gan Yawen walked a few steps quickly, passed through the fan-shaped arch, and looked at Gan Peilin's distant back: "Although she didn't say anything, every word drilled into people's ears like a needle." I don't know what she wants to do......"

Wang Qingchan walked over and took Gan Yawen's hand: "Don't do much." ”

said this, but she agreed with her daughter's words in her heart. "Your eldest sister is the most prominent daughter in our Gan Mansion."

"Not necessarily." Gan Yawen muttered dissatisfiedly: "Isn't my daughter still growing up?" Mother is in a hurry. ”

Wang Qingchan leaned over and pinched the tip of her nose: "It's fast, it's fast, you're ten years old." In another three or five years, it's time to find a good in-law. Mother doesn't ask you to fly on the branches and shine on the lintel, I just hope that you can be safe and smooth, find a good in-law, and be prosperous and rich for a lifetime. ”

Gan Yawen didn't like this plan a little, she frowned, followed Wang Qingchan and walked forward slowly, and suddenly asked, "Isn't my mother looking forward to me being able to go past my eldest sister?" ”

"Don't talk nonsense." Wang Qingchan hurriedly leaned over and covered her mouth: "Let people hear it carefully." ”

After observing the surroundings and finding that there were no outsiders, Wang Qingchan said earnestly: "Your eldest sister is now the prime minister's wife, and there are few people who are more beautiful than her." If you want to get past her, it's either the imperial concubine or the ......"

"It's to take her place." Gan Yawen said with a smile: "The new emperor is not yet a year old, I can't wait." ”

"You kid ......" Wang Qingchan had a shuddering feeling: "How can you use such a brain." If your big sister knew, she wouldn't spare you......"

"Mother, don't worry, I won't let her know." Gan Yawen cleaned up the color on her face and became cautious again: "Big sister only knows that I am afraid of her, and my heart is just talking to my mother." ”

Wang Qingchan looked at Gan Yawen with complicated eyes, and she was in favor of her fighting. Can...... Gan Jilu and Gan Wanyun are the best examples, no one has ever fought for Gan Peilin.

"Let's go." Wang Qingchan took her hand and left slowly.

At this time, Gan Peilin had already arrived at the outer courtyard of Gan Mansion and was ready to get into the carriage.

It was a familiar figure that surprised her slightly. She hurriedly let go of Liulan's hand that was holding her, and turned to meet her. "You're here."

Her saluting movements maintained a characteristic detachment, and she did not stand too close to Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu let out a "hmm" and asked, "Mrs. Cao is here?" ”

"Yes." Gan Peilin said calmly: "I am discussing with my father in the study. ”

Jiang Yu wanted to say something, but the little servant hurriedly came to report that His Royal Highness King Qin had arrived.

Gan Peilin dared to call the housekeeper to greet him, and Su Qizhe had already walked in.

"Yo, the prime minister is also here. That's right, let's study the war in the west together. Su Qizhe strode in, nodded at Gan Peilin, and directly took Jiang Yu's hand and walked in. Ask someone to lead the way. ”

"Go ahead." Gan Peilin instructed the little guy to lead the way: "Prepare some and almost send it." ”

Jiang Yu originally wanted to say something to Gan Peilin, but he was dragged away by the reckless Su Qizhe in such a daze, and he was unhappy. "King Qin, can you let go?"

"Loose what loose." Su Qizhe looked anxious: "You don't know how chaotic the situation is outside." The person who played the music must have been worried that the emperor was young and the queen mother was a woman, so he deliberately understated it. My spies came to a different story. We can't take it lightly, this battle will have to fight for ourselves. ”

Jiang Yu was extremely dissatisfied in his heart, he was in the same Xiangfu, Gan Peilin handled the affairs of the mansion every day, and he would never go around in front of him if he had nothing to do.

It was easy to find an opportunity to come to Ganfu to see her, and let Su Qizhe cut off his beard without a head.

He wasn't worried about the war at all, with Da Sima staring, what could be the difference.

But this Su Qizhe just couldn't understand things, which made him depressed.

"Miss, shall we go home?" Liulan asked Gan Peilin, who was stunned in place.

Gan Peilin thought for a moment and nodded: "Naturally, I want to go back." ”

"The slave thinks, don't go back." Liulan smiled and said, "It's rare that Xiangye is also here, so it's better to prepare a sumptuous dinner here and use some together." Miss, since Xiangye recovered from his illness, the slave thinks that you are unfamiliar with him. It's okay on weekdays, this person is here, it's better for you to go back first......"

"......" Gan Peilin thought for a moment, and only nodded: "Okay, go see what is in the small kitchen and prepare some." ”

"Okay." Rulan was very happy.

Seriously, these days, Gan Peilin and Jiang Yu are like two parallel lines.

Obviously living in a mansion. When he went to court, she got up for breakfast. By the time he returned home, she had already rested.

It's rare that when he came back early, he either went to see Princess Zhen or went to the study to discuss with people.

And she, even if she is not busy, has to spot check the accounts of the house, calculate the taxes of the grange, to put it bluntly, is to find something to do, and not let herself be idle to think about him.

Neither of them took a step forward.

"Where's Madame?" Swallow came in quickly, and saw Liulan directing the servants in the courtyard to clear the snow.

"Madame is preparing dinner for Xiangye and them in the kitchen." Liulan said with a smile: "The eldest lady hasn't cooked in person for a long time!" ”

Yanzi nodded, and said worriedly, "This meal may not be edible, I have to go in and find Madame now." ”

Liulan grabbed her: "Why can't you eat it?" What's wrong? ”

"Hei Yan has already determined one thing, Princess Qingning's child did fall into the hands of the Queen Mother." The swallow's face is particularly bad.

"Isn't this already a real hammer? Why do you only think about it now? "Rulan doesn't quite understand.

"That kid just fell into the hands of the queen." Swallow hung his head dejectedly: "If we take a step faster, maybe it won't." ”

"Yesterday?" Liulan couldn't help but be stunned.

"If it falls into the hands of the Queen Mother, I don't know his life and death." Yanzi thought for a while and said, "With your and my understanding of Madame, will she enter the palace to see the Queen Mother?" ”

"Don't talk about that." Liulan lowered her voice and said, "I'm going to have this dinner first." ”

"How's that going to work?" Yanzi also hopes that the lady and the master can reconcile. But the child is innocent. "It doesn't matter if we delay this for a while, but who can guarantee that the Queen Mother will not attack her young son?"

"yes." Gan Peilin suddenly appeared behind the two, and when he heard such a conversation, he felt uncomfortable. "I'm going to the palace."

"But Miss." Liulan took a step forward, frowned, and said, "Even if you go now, the Queen Mother won't hand over the child to you, right?" What's more, it won't do us any good if this matter gets out. ”

"Then ...... It can only create another crisis for the Queen Mother. Gan Peilin sighed heavily: "That's it, Liulan, you prepare dinner." The swallow goes out with me, and I will come back when I go. ”

Liulan knew that she couldn't stop her, so she could only nod: "Then Miss, you must be careful." ”

"Okay." Gan Peilin and Yanzi left in a hurry, did not enter the palace, but went directly to the silk village of Qingniang.
