Zheng County was only a few hours away from the capital, Wang Linzhi and the others sat in the carriage, and the Gu brothers rode horses, and soon arrived.

Now that it is the autumn harvest, there are many people harvesting crops in the fields on the side of the road, but in a large family like the Gu family, the fields are rented to others for planting, and there are special village heads to manage, even if these village heads come to the Gu family, most of the time they can only see the Gu family's stewards and accounts. The master of the Gu family doesn't care about these chores.

Master Gu is still the patriarch, and he is a patriarch who was once made an earl by the emperor, although he is not now, he is still the object of envy of everyone in Zheng County. However, he is not as ignorant as before now, and when he learned that Gu Yue was coming back, he specially discussed it with Gu Yan.

"The county lord returns to his hometown for the first time, should we hold a banquet to entertain you?"

When he first went to the capital, Gu Yue happened to be an official in the Ministry of Officials, although the grade was not high, but he had real power, and he had opened the door for several brothers, but since they offended Wang Linzhi, the good days came to an end, not only did the old lady begin to look at them coldly, but the emperor also punished them, not to mention the children of those wealthy families in the capital, and their eyes were often full of disdain.

Master Gu is also a person who loves face very much, the more he thinks about it, the more he feels bad in his heart, and the old lady beats on the side again and again, and now he is finally not so reckless and unmeasured, and he will always discuss with Second Master Gu first if he has something.

Gu Yan saw that he knew that he could change his mistakes, so he smiled and said: "Although she is the county lord, she is also the daughter-in-law of my Gu family, and it would be good for her aunt to arrange these things." ”

I don't have to say that they are fathers-in-law who make a special trip to pick up their daughter-in-law.

Mrs. Gu is smart this time, "We villagers don't have much knowledge, let's do what the second brother and sister say." ”

In this way, even if something happens, it can be pushed to the Xiang family, and it has nothing to do with them.

Xiang only pursed his lips and smiled, and waited for Mrs. Gu to finish speaking, before he glanced at the old lady, "What do you say, let's do it, the county lord has always liked your old man the most." ”

If these words were in the past, there was some moisture, but since the old lady saved Brother Ren with home remedies, Wang Linzhi really respected the old lady as a grandmother, and always sent some good things to the old lady every ten days and half a month.

For example, the pastries in the palace, the jewelry made inside, and the fabrics were all sent to the old lady.

The old lady's favorite thing to do is to take out the pastries given by Wang Linzhi and invite her relatives to taste them.

As soon as you taste these pastries, you can't help but praise the person who delivered them.

"I thought that Erlang would definitely put on a shelf when he came back with a county lord, but I didn't expect it to be so filial, and the first child is a man, and there are four at a time, you are really blessed."

The old lady smiled happily when she said this.

"The county lord is really good, otherwise my old wife would not have made a special trip to Wuchang to live for a period of time, her family background is good, she is beautiful, she treats people modestly, she is filial to the elderly, virtuous and generous, and she is very attentive to a few small ones, let alone my old woman, her aunts and aunts like her, and my daughter-in-law is even more painful to treat her as a daughter, and even Erlang has to be behind."

The old man chattered, but everyone listened with great interest.

Because these people in her hometown have never seen Wang Linzhi, but her former reputation has spread far and wide, and there are also those who have a sour heart, so she said: "I heard that she is two or three years older than Erlang, and Erlang seems to be eighteen when he got married, and the county lord didn't marry until he was twenty." Then he gave an example, saying that the daughter of a certain family was engaged at the age of eight or nine, engaged at the age of twelve or thirteen, and married at the age of fifteen.

The old lady smiled and listened, and then laughed, "The eldest princess loves her the most, I heard that it hurts more than the two sons, not to mention the first emperor, let us go up to the emperor to marry, this is the treatment of the princess!" If it weren't for the fact that the first emperor and the princess loved her so much, kept her in the eldest princess's mansion for a long time, and married her early, how could there be anything to do with our Erlang! ”

That's true.

However, this old lady used to laugh at everyone, and she generally didn't offend people easily, but she didn't expect her granddaughter-in-law to become tough immediately as soon as she got married!

But today's Gu family is not what it used to be, not only Da Lang has arrived in Hanlin Academy, but also Erlang has become the general of Zheng Sanpin, where can they afford to offend these ordinary people?

Seeing that the old lady was unhappy, she immediately began to say something nice, "It can be seen that Erlang is blessed, and you are also blessed." ”

The old lady loved to hear this, and her face slowly eased.

As the old lady's daughter-in-law, Xiang has been with the old lady's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law for so many years, so she naturally has already felt her temper clearly.

So as soon as Mrs. Gu opened her mouth and talked about Wang Linzhi's return, Xiang handed over the handling power to the old lady.

If some words are spoken by her, they will inevitably attract the dissatisfaction of several concubines, but the old lady's words are different!

Compare goods and throw them away, and people should die better than people.

People like the fourth wife and the eldest wife, I don't know where they got the courage to argue with a county lord at the beginning!

The Xiang clan didn't take them to heart before, and now they won't.

She didn't say anything, but she knew in her heart that Wang Linzhi would definitely give the best when she came back, whether it was food or housing, and it was estimated that the eldest lady also understood it in her heart, so she wanted to indulge in it, pretending to let her open her mouth and bring it up, and then let her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law take care of her as a clan woman and the housekeeper.

She thinks it's beautiful, but she's not a fool, how can she easily let her get her wish?

As soon as the old lady heard Xiang's words, she said with a smile: "Then invite a troupe to come to the house to sing for half a month, I remember that the county lord seems to like to listen to the opera, and then invite two better cooks to make a dish of our local cuisine, let her change the taste, and then the few of you will not be busy with other things during this time, and you will coax her to be happy when you have time, and other things, I will tell you when I think of it." ”

When the eldest lady and the others heard this, they felt more and more unfair in their hearts.

Even if the other party is the county lord, he has been married to the Gu family for so long, and a group of children have been born, and going home once is like a queen going out on patrol!

also let these elders, let go of other things, just to make Wang Linzhi happy!

If this spreads, what kind of face will they have?

The eldest lady was unhappy in her heart, but she didn't dare to show it on her face.

When she was still Mrs. Bo, Wang Linzhi never gave her a good face, let alone now, if she really upset the county lord of Langya again, the Gu family might really divorce her!

"Everything is done as the old lady tells it to do." Mrs. Gu said with an enthusiastic face, the children in the family are like a day by day, if they want to have a good future in the future, they have to rely on Wang Linzhi and Gu Yue.

As soon as he finished speaking, the henchmen next to the old lady came over and said happily: "Congratulations to the old lady, our second master has been promoted!" “
