Chapter 401: A Chance Encounter in the Study
Mrs. Shizi is not stupid, how can she not know her husband's intentions? However, to tell the truth, even if she is old, an old husband and an old wife, Mrs. Shizi still likes this feeling of being cherished and cared for by her husband. This feeling will never get tired, and the feeling is different at different ages.
While enjoying it, Mrs. Shizi naturally wants to reciprocate. So, in the next few days, as long as Zheng Shizi was at home, Mrs. Shizi would accompany him. The son doesn't have to bother, and the family affairs are left to the younger siblings...... The prince will have the advantage of discovering Gu Yao's presence, and his daughter-in-law will be idle! When he saw Gu Yao again, he didn't kick his nose so much.
There are very few people who can detect the change in the mood of the prince, but King Han is one of them. When he met Zheng Shizi on this day, King Han smiled and asked, "In a good mood?"
Shizi said conservatively: "It's okay."
Isn't it just good? The daughter-in-law has been super spoiled lately, especially ...... When.
King Han saw through it and suggested: "Drink two cups?"
Zheng Shizi nodded indifferently, and said generously: "I'll treat you, you can choose the location at will." Even if it is the most expensive restaurant in the capital, I don't blink, I do what I say! β
"How's your house?"
King Han just said it casually, just like before. It is often said that it is never answered. Because of the identity of King Han, he went to the Zheng family to drink, and it was Mrs. Shizi who suffered, and Shizi was a daughter-in-law who never agreed.
This time, King Han also did not report his expectations, but Zheng Shizi hesitated for a moment, and said, "Then, my family."
In the eyes of Zheng Shizi, he will be very good to you, good and dead. King Han knew that he had a place in the heart of the prince, and it was difficult to say how big the place was, at least it couldn't compare to his family. Hearing this answer, King Han didn't know that it was because Gu Yao was in charge of the kitchen that Shizi agreed, he only thought that Shizi and his wife were finally not so sticky. In other words, in Zheng Shizi, his status has improved. Either way, King Han was very happy.
"Then the king is not welcome. Speaking of which, the last time I went to your house was when your son was born. In the blink of an eye, more than ten years, right? β
Zheng Shizi gave him a blank look and said, "You are old when I am old, and your brain is not good?" The last time you went to my house, it was clearly the winter of the twelfth year of Yongle. β
King Han's little plan succeeded, and said with a smile: "I haven't been there for ten years." If you don't prepare wine and good food today, the king will be with you. β
"Childish!"
Zheng Shizi, who saw through the careful thinking of the Han King, after making a conclusion, stopped worrying with the naΓ―ve ghost and led him to his house.
Mrs. Shizi was discussing the etiquette of each family with Gu Yao in the study room of the East Courtyard.
His Majesty moved the capital, and many families who had already decided to marry were unwilling to do family affairs in the two places, so they simply advanced the family affairs. Of course, there are also those who were originally going to get married, but chose to postpone it. What kind of heart is played, you can see it at a glance.
None of this has anything to do with the Zheng family.
They only need to prepare the money, and the family who decides to have a wedding feast. The gift money has to be followed, as much as it is, in the past, it was taken by Mrs. Shizi, but now it is discussed between the two, and the rest is whose house to go to. There were a bunch of them in front of her, not much, only a dozen wedding cards, and Gu Yao was the first to judge: "The Xu family still has to go."
The Duke of Wei only got a baby girl, who was the niece and granddaughter of Mrs. Shizi's mother's family, and she still had to drink the full moon wine. Mrs. Shizi had no opinion on this, and only asked another pile: "Where is the Jian family, will you go by yourself or will I go?"
Yes, Jian Jia, Gu Yao must go. The emperor has decreed that Princess An Hui will marry the youngest son of Jian Shangshu, Jian Quan. Normal meritorious people are willing to give a gift, and that is already a good relationship. As for going to the wedding banquet, to put it mildly, the civil and military are in a line, how can the emperor sleep peacefully?
This is a big deal, but Gu Yao crossed out this matter in the surprised eyes of Mrs. Shizi.
"It's a family affair that was only done in September, so what does he do now! I'm just a sister, and I don't need to be married. β
In September, I didn't know if the emperor was there, so I was in a hurry.
Without waiting for Mrs. Shizi to ask, Gu Yao said again: "If you sort out the post today, deduct some monthly money." Out of a total of seventeen posts, only five are for the next month. β
Mrs. Shizi knocked Gu Yao with the post and said, "They just take it, how to classify and deal with it, that's our business, don't you deal with it like this?"
Not really.
Gu Yao pointed at Bai Yun and said, "Say it to Mrs. Shizi."
Bai Yun smiled and said about Bofu's approach: "Xifu first has a book to record these posts in order. The third lady only needs to look at the catalog and directly decide whether to go or not. Go, and pick up the post again. β
"You're too lazy enough!" Mrs. Shizi sighed with emotion.
However, this also requires capital, and you have to be in charge of literacy. There are not many stewards of the Hou Mansion who have this talent, and the people around Gu Yao, just like the eunuchs around the emperor, are all specially studied before they can be raised. The situation of the two provinces is completely different, and there is no point in comparison. It's a comparison, and it's not something that can be compared in a day or two.
Mrs. Shizi knew in her heart that she didn't plan to learn, so after looking at the sky, she said, "Let's stop here today."
Gu Yao immediately had to pack up his things, and said in his mouth: "Obey!" Clean up the little ones immediately, and never delay your date with the son! β
Mrs. Shizi was about to fight, Gu Yao slipped away, and said in a loud voice: "Bai Yun put away the things, I'll go first." β
Gu Yao's original intention was to dodge, but he didn't expect someone at the door, and when he turned around, he almost bumped into it. However, she was diligent in running, her hands and feet were quite nimble, and the person opposite was even more flexible, and the two of them separated without touching their clothes.
Automatically entering and leaving the East Courtyard, there is no need to tell it, except that the son of the world does not think about it as a second person. Gu Yao didn't raise his head, and complained directly: "Big brother is getting more and more distracted, I live at home, and it doesn't take much to spread the word!" β
The complaining voice of the coquettish voice is in the ears of the elder brother, or in the ears of Zheng Shizi, who doesn't like this style, it is not cleaned up: "You live in my house, and take care of me, be careful that I drive people away." Hurry up and act like a person and give a salute to King Han. β
Saying that, Zheng Shizi said to the people around him: "Lord Wang, this is a younger brother and sister, a naughty child. β
King Han? Gu Yao was startled, and glanced at it quickly, bearded, he couldn't tell his age, he could only see that a pair of eyes were very shrewd. At this moment, those eyes were full of smiles.
Gu Yao put away Pi Lai's appearance, his face turned white, and he was polite and polite, and retired. Before leaving, he didn't forget to glance at Mrs. Shizi with resentment.
Mrs. Shizi was also very helpless, and after Gu Yao left, she stepped forward to greet King Han and said to the prince: "The prince is coming, why don't you say it in advance?" I also have time to prepare, don't I? β
King Han took the initiative to say: "Brother and sister don't have to see outside, just prepare according to family routine." β
If you don't prepare the food in advance, isn't it home-cooked? Mrs. Shizi originally meant this, seeing that King Han was interested, she said apologetically: "I have wronged the prince so much." β
After the politeness, Mrs. Shizi got up and went back to the backyard.
King Han asked Zheng Shizi curiously: "Why are your younger brothers and sisters afraid when they see this king?" β
"Oh, she's at odds with your daughter."
There is only one of his daughters in the capital, Anqing. Coincidentally, An Qingcai complained to himself about Jing Anbo's wife in the previous paragraph. So, the woman just now was Zheng Zhi's wife? It's strange that the road is so wild and spicy, the corner of King Han's mouth is smiling, and he said in his heart, what a coincidence.
