It's just that the one who went to Yanjia Hall on the second day was not Ah Bi, but the palace maid who served in the Qianqiu Palace, holding a lot of tricks in her hands, all of which were rare in fashion.

Concubine De didn't look at those tricks, but just stared at the palace maid who sent the tricks: "Why are you here, the person who is serving next to the Lord of Lingling?" ”

The palace maid bent her knees with the trick and whispered: "Tomorrow is the death anniversary of the eldest princess of Xuanyang, and the queen of heaven has already asked Xu Siyan to send the palace car to send the county lord out of the palace and return to the house. ”

Concubine De frowned, and quickly showed a smile: "It's hard for her to remember this little thing about me when she wants to leave the palace, and I will invite her to talk when she comes back." ”

She nodded, let the palace maid beside her follow the tricks, and instructed her to go back and thank Gu Mingzhu well, so that she could go out.

The Lingling County Lord's Mansion was already red at this time, and the red lanterns that had been hung high in front of the mansion had also been replaced, and the servants were busy preparing the sacrifices and fruit wine and chariots and horses that would go to Anling on the second day.

Gu Mingzhu, who was dressed in a plain dress and tied with a flat bun, was looking at the account books sent by the shops everywhere, but in a short period of time, the accounts of the shops in the grange were already making a lot of profits, and the spice workshop and the silk weaving factory had made a lot of money, counting the more than 20,000 gold left before, Gu Mingzhu's net worth now is really a lot.

Gu Mingzhu looked at the account book and her eyebrows stretched, although she heard that Steward Li and they had a genius, she never thought that she really had such ability, and in a short period of time, she could take care of a lot of money and earn a lot of money, as long as time passed, Gu Mingzhu could be a rich lady at ease even if she was not accompanied by the identity of the county lord.

She finished reading the account book, closed it and said with a smile: "I ordered someone to send a message to shop the Zhuangzi everywhere, but if you can make a profit and return to the original capital, you will add 10% of the monthly salary to the steward Zhuangtou, and if you can make more money for the house in the future, you will add another 10%." ”

Mama Han looked at Gu Mingzhu's smile, and also laughed, and stepped forward to add tea soup: "The county lord treats them very well, and he will definitely do his best to make a good deal for the house." ”

Gu Mingzhu nodded, and looked up at Mama Han with a smile: "Are all the things to be taboo for tomorrow ready?" ”

Mama Han nodded: "The fasting food and fruit wine are ready, and the carriages and horses are also ready, just waiting for tomorrow's departure." ”

Gu Mingzhu bowed slightly: "The snacks that A-Niang likes to use, Mama should let people prepare them well, and send them to have a good taste with A-Niang tomorrow." ”

Gu Mingzhu said plainly, but Mama Han listened sadly, obviously she was a mother and daughter, but she had never seen it, Gu Mingzhu could only know a little about her preferences from the old people who had served the eldest princess Han over the years, and she kept it in her heart since then.

She held back her sadness and bowed her knees.

Anling is on the northwest side of the emperor's tomb, looking across the water from the emperor's tomb, and the five princes who died under the knees of the first emperor are buried, two princesses who died before they got married, and there is the tomb of the eldest princess of Xuanyang.

Gu Mingzhu is not without suspicions, according to the regulations, her mother Xuanyang eldest princess has married into the Gu family, so she should be buried in the Gu family's ancestral land, or another garden mausoleum, no matter what, she should not be buried in the royal mausoleum.

However, the tomb of the eldest princess of Xuanyang broke the rules, not only was buried in the imperial mausoleum, but also the funeral was done by the royal family, just like the identity of the unmarried princess, but the funeral was even more grand, not only the thick burial but also the word "loyalty".

When she asked Gu Qing, Gu Qing's face was complicated, and she said vaguely that it was the emperor who favored her eldest princess Xuanyang, and the saint and the eldest princess Xuanyang had a deep brother and sister relationship, so they would make an exception and bury her.

But now that she thinks about it, I'm afraid that there is a more secret reason in it, which she can't know now.

Gu Mingzhu's carriage left Chang'an early in the morning and galloped towards Anling, and it took most of the day to bump before approaching Anling.

Anling is not as good as the emperor's mausoleum, there is no Ming Palace and the soldiers who guard the mausoleum, only a few palace people who guard the mausoleum live in the dilapidated Ming Hall, occasionally come out to clean up, and put a few pillars of incense on the tomb of the prince and princess in the mausoleum, and there are no other sacrifices.

The carriage entered the stone road in the mausoleum, looking at the stone statues guarding the mausoleum on both sides are a little incomplete, the tall plane tree has begun to drop the yellow leaves, the stone road is already full of fallen leaves, the place where the wheels pass makes a rustling sound, and I feel desolate.

Gu Mingzhu opened the curtain and looked at the scenery outside, her face was as calm as water, her eldest princess Xuanyang had been sleeping in this deserted place for many years, and she might have been able to stay in the eldest princess's mansion to live a peaceful and comfortable life, enjoying the joy of family, all this was broken.

It didn't stop until the deepest part of Anling, a tall bucket-shaped sealed earth tomb, and the tall stone tablet was engraved with several big characters on the tomb of the eldest princess of Tang Zhongmu Xuanyang.

Gu Mingzhu helped Abi's men get off the horse, looked at the mausoleum, and was reluctant to look away for a long time.

Auntie, I'm here to see you.

It's just that the tomb that should have been deserted was already full of fruit cakes and fasting at this time, everything was exquisite, and it looked like it had just been put on the table, and it was obvious that someone had just come to worship and left.

Gu Mingzhu saw the pot of tea and plum on the side at a glance, and there was fresh dew hanging on the delicate petals, just like every year.

Her expression was a little complicated, and she pulled the corners of her mouth lightly after a long time: "Father has been here." ”

In the past, Gu Qing brought Gu Mingzhu with him every year, and in addition to fasting fruit cakes, there must also be a pot of the eldest princess's favorite tea plum, Gu Mingzhu would inevitably be a little moved when he saw it before, thinking that his father was thinking about his mother after all, but now Gu Mingzhu can't say what he feels like in his heart, maybe it's more suspicious and puzzled.

What did A-Niang die for, was it really a difficult birth? Or are you forced to be helpless?

As for the father, what role does he play in this, and does he have anything to do with A-Niang's death?

Gu Mingzhu was full of suspicions, and finally pressed it down, and instructed the maidservant: "Put the sacrifice, I want to kowtow with A-Niang for incense." ”

It's just that before the sacrifices are placed, there is a sound of horses' hooves on the stone road in the distance, and someone is coming this way, but who will come to the deserted Anling at this time, but it is on this day.

Gu Mingzhu straightened up, took Abi's hand and looked over, but saw an oil-walled carriage coming from afar, followed by two attendants, but they were all strangers, and they couldn't see the way.
