Chapter 295: The Second Room with a Great Background
readx;? Chapter 295 has a great second room
Hearing He Changan mention to himself about Second Master Bai marrying the second room, Lu Cheng was not the slightest surprised, in fact, this matter also had the credit that he secretly promoted. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info but he was afraid that He Changan would say that he was okay and foolishly, so he didn't tell her, and when he talked about it, he said: "Don't underestimate that young Aunt Gu, today she has to be an aunt in distress, and when her nephew has a chance one day, her good days will come." ”
This aunt even has a nephew?
It turned out that this Aunt Gu's name was Xufen, and she was a native of Puzhou, Pingyang Prefecture, where He Jiaqing was about to take office. The Gu family can be regarded as a scholarly family in Puzhou, and Gu Xufen's father is also a well-known local son in Qizhou. It's just that Gu Xufen is her father's old daughter, she lost her father when she was three or four years old, and her mother didn't accompany her for many years. She was basically raised by her brother and sister-in-law, who were more than ten years older than her, and her brother-in-law's only son was only five years younger than her. Although she is a girl, her brother and sister-in-law still help her to hire a husband, teach her to read and hyphenate, embroidery women, and it stands to reason that she is also a well-known good girl in the local area. It's a pity that three years ago, my brother and sister-in-law had an accident and drowned in the Fen River on the boundary of Pingyang Mansion, and my aunt and nephew had nothing to rely on all of a sudden.
There are also local squires in Puzhou who proposed to give Gu Xufen a large amount of dowry money to welcome her as a second room, but Gu Ziheng, the only son of his brother and sister-in-law, is at the age of studying, and is quite talented in schoolwork, Gu Xufen's biggest request is that she can not have too much dowry, but she must be able to live with her nephew Gu Ziheng. Such a half-sized child, in anyone's house, is in the eyes of the housemother, as soon as her condition is opened, whether she wants to accept her as a second room, or who really has the heart to marry her, they are all discouraged.
However, Gu Xufen didn't care, sold the only remaining family property in Puzhou, and only took this twelve-year-old nephew and a little entanglement, and came to the imperial capital. When she came here, Gu Xufen only made a living by washing people's pulp, and the meager income she received in exchange not only had to pay the rent of her aunt and nephew, but also provided daily expenses, and she was stunned to be able to save a sum of money for Gu Ziheng to study. A weak woman, at the feet of the Son of Heaven who is not familiar with life, can do this, which is really awe-inspiring.
This person was noticed by Huang Shiyu's father, Huang Shangshu, at first he just heard that this woman's life was not easy, and he was willing to help, so he sent money to Gu Ziheng. The child was young, but he accepted the money bag without humility or arrogance, and replied with a straight look: "I accept your money today because I don't want my aunt to work too hard for me." When I come to Japan to be the top student in high school, I will definitely repay this kindness. I just hope that the benefactor will not think that if I accept this money, you can hit my aunt's idea at will, if so, I, Gu Ziheng, will be the first to rush up and fight with you!"
Lu Cheng told He Changan what Gu Ziheng said to Huang Cheng at that time, and Chang'an laughed when he heard it: "This child is not very old, but he is a child with insight and ideas, if he is cultivated, he will become a great tool in time." ”
Lu Cheng nodded: "You are right. I also think that if this child is nurtured well, he will have a bright future in the future. At that time, Lord Huang also thought so, and later considered that their aunt and nephew were not very old, if they rented a house alone, it would be fine in the short term, and they were afraid that they would be beaten by bad people in the long term, so after obtaining the consent of this Gu girl, Lord Huang asked his mother-in-law to help her find a future, even if she could go to any house to be a maid, as long as she could bring her younger brother into the house together, her livelihood would always be better than helping others wash clothes. And going to other people's homes to be a maid is a package of food and housing, and renting a house and eating expenses can save a fortune. ”
Speaking of which, He Changan understood. This Gu girl is the second room hired by her grandmother Mrs. Liang Guogong to her second uncle, but she still remembers that Lord Huang's wife Chu and her mother were close friends in the boudoir back then, and the relationship between her grandmother and Mrs. Chu will not be bad, this must be when Mrs. Chu is helping this girl find a future, she was listened to by her grandmother, thinking that her son can not be without someone who knows hot and cold, so she moved such a thought.
"It's just that making a second room for the second uncle is still different from being a maid in the Liang Guogong Mansion. That girl Gu has read books, and she has a bit of integrity when she thinks about it, can she be willing to go to the Guogong Mansion to make a second room?"
Lu Cheng only said one thing, and He Changan understood that in addition to giving a generous dowry, the biggest benefit that the Duke of Liang Guo gave to Gu Xufen was that he was willing to help Gu Ziheng enter the famous official school in the imperial capital. Gu Ziheng is talented, but what he has learned before is in a mixed place, if he has been studying in such a place, it will inevitably be a waste of his talent, and when he has a bright future, I am afraid that he will be delayed until he is forty or fifty years old. But with Gu Xufen alone, how can she have the ability to send her nephew to the official school? Not to mention that the imperial capital is quite famous, and the people who go to school are all the children of the powerful.
This is just the same thing, which means that Gu Xufen's mind has been moved. She refused to marry before, on the one hand, she was keeping filial piety for her deceased brother and sister-in-law, and on the other hand, she was thinking that once she got married, Gu Ziheng would no longer have anyone to take care of her. Now that Gu Ziheng can enter the official school, he can eat and live there, which is naturally a good thing. And she has been born to the age of twenty, it is impossible not to marry for the rest of her life, even if she marries a small family in Pingmen as a wife, her life may not be very good, so it is better to repay the kindness of the Duke of Liang. It is impossible for the wife of the second master Bai to return to the Guogong Mansion in this life, and the two daughters born by the Du family, one has already been married, and the other is about to get married. When Bai You really went out, in the courtyard of Bai's second room, she would be able to do the master.
Lu Cheng naturally didn't say that there was his impetus in this matter, but he invited several old gentlemen who read poetry and books to try Gu Ziheng early, and they all said that this child would definitely be able to enter high school in less than five years. Such a young and capable person, because he is from a poor background, is not easy to provoke the gossip of others, and now he will not be gathered early, but when?
The old lady of Liang Guo fell in love with this Aunt Gu, in addition to her innocence, there is also her appearance. The round face, although it is not a charming posture, but it can be regarded as a clear eyebrow, and the figure is still good, especially the plump buttocks, according to the old saying, it is like being able to give birth to a son. The youngest son has no son, which has always been a great pain in her heart, and now that she has made up her mind to hire a second room for her son, if she can get another little grandson, when she sees the old man underground after a hundred years, she will have an explanation. Therefore, the Liang Guogong Mansion almost did not hesitate and operated with great fanfare, and it was less than ten days before the Du family was sent away, and this Aunt Gu was married into the door.
The Bai family was worried about He Chang'an's affairs in the palace all day long, and when Lu Cheng returned to the mansion every night, he had to return to his room to accompany Brother Fan'er. However, Bai didn't feel hard, he just felt that this son-in-law was too good - how could ordinary people have wives who could give their mother-in-law such an opportunity to take care of their daughter?
More often, when the Bai family chatted with He Changan, it was the Bai family who said it again, and He Changan was listening. As Bai gets older, she likes to recall the past more and more, many things still happened to the original He Changan, and she couldn't answer, just listened silently, and couldn't help but laugh when she heard the funny places. When Bai Shi went back, she looked at the sky outside the window in a daze: sometimes she always felt that she had invaded the original He Chang'an's body, and now it seems that if she lived as sick as the original He Chang'an, she herself would not be happy. Now, it is she who has helped the original body to live a little different color to this life.
As time passed, by May 16, He Changan's stomach was getting bigger and bigger, and his feet were so swollen that it hurt to walk on the ground. On this day, I saw that Bai received a letter from the Duke of Liang, and after reading the letter, he smiled from ear to ear. It was difficult for He Changan to see his mother so happy, so he hurriedly asked Liang Guogong's Mansion what was the happy event.
When asked, I couldn't help but laugh along with my face. It turned out that this Aunt Gu really lived up to expectations, and after marrying Bai Wenting for just over a month, she was diagnosed as pregnant, and she was so happy that the old lady of the Liang Guogong Mansion was like something, so she hurriedly wrote letters to her relatives to report the good news, as if Aunt Gu would be able to add her a white and chubby grandson tomorrow.
In the evening, when Lu Cheng came back, He Changan also told Lu Cheng about it with joy, Lu Cheng's first reaction was naturally to feel happy for the foreign family, and then looked at He Changan's face but began to be informal: "The second cousin should be in his forties now......, right?
He Changan glanced at him, his eyes narrowed deliberately, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, and with just one sentence, he extinguished Lu Cheng's prestige: "Does my Royal Highness the King of Qin also want to learn from his second uncle, and when his princess Lao Zhu Huang Sheng does not move, find a side concubine to show that he is old and strong?"
Lu Cheng was anxious, and flattened his mouth: "There is only one in my heart, and you don't know it." Besides, I'm five years older than you, and when I'm like my second cousin, where will you be old? I've heard that there are some secret techniques over there that can make women take good care of themselves, and even if they reach their forties, they can still have children, and I will definitely ask someone to find that method for you in the future. When I go out in the future, I will let people say that King Qin and his favorite princess are a pair of beautiful people made in heaven, whether it is now or when we have lost all our teeth......"
Lu Cheng was immersed in his tenderness and sweetness for Chang'an, when he suddenly heard He Chang'an cry of pain: "Ouch, I seem to be about to give birth to ......"
