General Mingwei's wife Cao Shi was very busy, and she had to greet the guests in person, and she had to order people to arrange a banquet for tea and fruit cakes, as well as things that made people take care of the ceremony, and she couldn't wait for the invited Sizan and others, and she was dizzy for a while, so she could only cheer up and deal with it.

But this is just her youngest daughter's courtesy, and she originally just invited a few relatives to make friends, who would have thought that there would be so many people who came uninvited, crowding the not very big General Mingwei's mansion.

While spinning like a top, she remembered what her husband had said to her before, saying that in a short time, their Sun family would not only be like this, but also have greater wealth.

As for where this wealth came from, she was not stupid, and naturally knew that it was stained with the light of her in-laws, the Han family.

She glanced at the eldest lady of the Han family, Wang, who was surrounded by ladies in the flower hall, if she hadn't given birth to a good daughter, she would have been a concubine now, and she would not be the queen of the middle palace in the future, how could her family be so lively.

At this time, she felt more and more that she was smart, otherwise how could she have thought of marrying her daughter to the Han family and forming such a good family, would she still be afraid that the house would not be rich in the future.

Thinking of this, she was overjoyed, and she had the energy to deal with the many chores in front of her, after all, nothing else matters, as long as she can greet the Han family well, she will not worry about no one coming to the door to please and give all kinds of generous gifts.

"Madam, the county lord of Lingling has arrived, saying that he is here to congratulate the fourth lady and Lu."

Cao Shi stared, it took a long time to come back to his senses, and he hurriedly rushed out with his maidservant to meet him, but he didn't understand it for a long time, the lord of Lingling County was not from the hussar general's mansion, and he was still the most valued and favored one around the queen of heaven.

But why did she come too?

Gu Mingzhu smiled and helped the Cao family, who was curtsied, up: "I was reckless and came uninvited to cause trouble to the house." ”

Cao Shi was flattered, and hurriedly said: "The county lord is really tormenting me like this, it is a great honor for the little girl and Lu to invite the county lord to come to the door, how dare you say the word trouble, and invite the county lord to sit in the house, so as to do our best." ”

Gu Mingzhu said with a smile: "Today, I'm afraid that I will have to disturb the house for a while, and I want to add a gift to the fourth lady." ”

The Cao family was busy accompanying Gu Mingzhu to the mansion in person, saying polite words as he walked, but he became more and more puzzled in his heart, his own mansion was regarded as the Han family's in-laws, and the Han family was crowned a concubine, but the lord of Lingling County was a person next to the queen of heaven, why did he come to her mansion, and he was so polite and kind, he really taught her to wonder what she could not understand.

When Gu Mingzhu arrived at the flower hall, the eldest lady of the Han family, Wang, did not dare to slack off, and brought a group of female relatives out to greet her, and was about to salute but was pulled by Gu Mingzhu, and smiled affectionately: "The eldest lady is tormenting me, the eldest lady is an elder, how dare I be a gift when I am young, I am afraid that I will disturb the comfort of the ladies by coming uninvited." ”

Wang is also a delicate person, his eyes rolled, and he smiled extremely humbly: "The county lord is lifting us, the county lord can come to us and we are very happy, in the past, there was no chance to get close, but today can be regarded as a blessing." ”

She personally accompanied Gu Mingzhu to sit at the upper seat, and spoke enthusiastically.

Gu Mingzhu smiled and thanked him, and first instructed Abi to send the congratulatory gift, it was a gold-inlaid jade-inlaid treasure collar, not to mention that the eight treasure pearls embedded on it were all dazzling, that is, the fine warm and flawless mutton fat jade in it looked very valuable, even the Cao family was shocked, he never thought that Gu Mingzhu would shoot so hard, and he didn't know whether to take it for a while, so he glanced at the Wang family who was sitting next to Gu Mingzhu.

Wang blinked, his heart was suspicious, but his face was not revealed, and he said with a smile: "The county lord is really loved, even I look at such a good thing, this is Yi Niang's honor, the in-laws and the lady thank the county lord quickly." ”

Cao Shi thanked him uneasily, let the maid accept the congratulatory gift, and hurriedly ordered someone to serve tea and soup and snacks to Gu Mingzhu, greeting,

The Wang family sat and talked with Gu Mingzhu, and several ladies who had been friends with the Han family in the past were also alongside, and it was inevitable to talk about the things in the palace, and the Wang family was also frank, and asked about the queen's condition with sincerity: "...... These days have been thinking about entering the palace to the queen of heaven Niangniang, but they have been blocked back, saying that Niangniang is still recuperating, do not summon foreign women to see, I am worried and dare not disturb more, so I have to go to Mingguang Temple with a few ladies to incense for Niangniang to ask for peace, I think it should be soon. Gu Mingzhu heard the mention of the queen's condition, but her face darkened a little, and her smile was a little reluctant: "Niangniang used the prescription of the Imperial Doctor's Department, but I don't see anything bad, I want to raise it again." ”

If you don't see bad, you don't see good.

The faces of several ladies were a little meaningful, and one of them stepped forward with a smile: "The queen of heaven values the county lord the most, and she used to stay by her side, but the county lord was rare to be able to leave the palace today, and she also came to the house to congratulate the little lady." ”

Gu Mingzhu sighed lightly and looked at the Wang family: "It was the mother who ordered me to come, first, to congratulate the little lady, but secondly, I have something important to talk to my wife." ”

Wang didn't expect her to be so straightforward, so she said her intentions, and even made it clear that it was the meaning of the queen of heaven, she was stunned for a while, and said busily: "The county lord has something to say, please say." ”

Gu Mingzhu looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "It's just that there are many people right now, I'm afraid it's inconvenient, so let's ask Mrs. to go to the garden with me." ”

Wang was also neat, got up and said with a smile: "I'm afraid the county lord doesn't know, although this mansion is not as spacious and luxurious as the county lord's mansion, there are also a few places where the scenery is quiet and pleasant, and the wife of the in-law family is afraid that she will not be idle, so let me accompany the county lord to the garden to take a look and enjoy the scenery." ”

Gu Mingzhu looked up at the Wang family, smiled lightly and got up, Concubine Han is a smart and powerful person, this Mrs. Han will not be confused if she wants to, she is willing to deal with such a smart person, and she is on a par with each other, so she doesn't have to worry that she doesn't understand her own wit.

After turning around in the garden of General Mingwei's mansion, Wang listened to Gu Mingzhu's words, but his face changed: "...... Is this what the queen of heaven means? ”

Gu Mingzhu looked at her with a complicated face and a look of disbelief, and chuckled: "Madam also knows about Niangniang's condition now...... The prince's injury is not very good, if there is any change in the future, after all, there is still King Xian and Her Royal Highness the Princess, how can Niangniang put her mind at ease, after all, she has to plan for them. ”

"Previously, Niangniang had personally pleaded with the saint and asked for the promotion of Han Duwei to the Duke of the First Rank Country, so that the concubine Niangniang could also be justified in the future, which is also a little bit of Niangniang's heart, I want the concubine Niangniang to remember her kindness, and to be able to take care of a few His Royal Highnesses in the future, and also make her feel at ease."

When Gu Mingzhu said this, he sighed lightly, "It's just that the saint hesitated, and he didn't agree after all." ”

Wang's face changed, and his smile was a little far-fetched: "Thunder, rain and dew are all Jun's grace, and the saint wants to think about it differently." ”

Gu Mingzhu took a step closer and said in a low voice: "Madame also knows, since the mother family of the Middle Palace will be rewarded as a first-class national prince, the sage is afraid that he still has concerns, and the queen of heaven can not rest assured that she will let me come out of the palace and send a message to Madame when she is congratulating." ”

Wang's eyes flashed, and his smile remained the same: "Thank you for the love of the Queen of Heaven, but the fact of this court is not known to us women, and we can only listen to the holy will." ”

Gu Mingzhu looked at her and smiled lightly: "Madame will know these things if you ask about them, not to mention that the time is running out, after all, there is more than one noble person in the palace, some time ago, the sage made an exception to promote Mu Zhongcheng to Shangshu Zuocheng, and Mu Zhaoyuan has just been promoted to the position of Zhaoyi, and no one can say what will happen next." ”

Wang's face couldn't help but tighten, and he pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled dryly: "Then if it is according to what the county lord said, what should I do?" ”

Gu Mingzhu pursed her lips and smiled, whispered a few words, and then said: "When the time comes, the Queen of Heaven will also make a statement to the sage, and ask for the title of Duke of the Kingdom for Han Duwei, which can be regarded as leaving a favor and the concubine Niangniang, I just hope that the concubine Niangniang and Mrs. will be able to read this idea and treat several highnesses kindly." ”

Wang's eyes rolled, but his words were lively: "The Queen of Heaven is relieved, and several highnesses are noble, so they should naturally do their best to take care of them." ”
