Chapter 2: The Divine Decree
"Old lady Jun'an." The decree was made by the father-in-law in front of His Majesty, the old man who had lived in the palace for decades, even if he was dissatisfied with the old lady's neglect, he would not show it on his face, but greeted him respectfully.
"Father-in-law Liu is tormenting his old body." The old lady owes her body and gives her father-in-law enough face, "The old body is not satisfied with the old man, and it is the fault of the old body that he is greedy for rest after a long journey, and he fails to wait for the holy decree in advance." ”
Gonggong Liu glanced at the gray-haired and tired old lady, and sighed in his heart: After all, she is over seventy years old, and she is no longer the majestic female general she was back then.
"The old lady is polite, our family first congratulates the old lady on the fact that there is going to be a great nobleman in the family, please ask the daughter of the Gu Mansion to enter the hall to receive the order."
Why did this decree come so quickly, we are all back, and we are afraid that people will not be able to fly?
The old lady was very puzzled, but she didn't dare to ask, so she had to respond with a smile: "There is a father-in-law who runs this trip in person, and my father-in-law is the first guest to enter my Gu Mansion, so take a break." Chamberlain! Look at the tea and give the ceremony. ”
Gonggong Liu stopped: "The old lady is not busy, our family has a will......
"Father-in-law Liu, take a sip of tea." The old lady interrupted Gonggong Liu, and motioned to the housekeeper to stuff the silver prepared in advance into his hand, pretending to be helpless, "It's embarrassing to say, my granddaughter grew up in a small place, and the capital dazzled her eyes, and she actually took advantage of my rest to sneak out to play, and I have sent someone to find it." ”
Father-in-law Liu secretly weighed the weight of his purse, put it in his sleeve, said that it was not a big deal, and sat down to drink tea.
A moment later, a maid came out of the curtain and whispered a few words in the old lady's ear.
I saw that the old lady's face changed, and she apologized to Gonggong Liu: "Gonggong Liu, please allow the old man to be absent for a moment." ”
In the inner room, the old lady saw that the Gu family and his party had solemn faces, and asked in a low voice: "Didn't you receive Fenghua?" ”
"Yes. Looking at the horse's hoof marks on the ground, the young lady should have taken a shortcut over the mountain. ”
"That mountain is not easy to turn!" The old lady sighed, "I'll delay the time of another stick of incense, if Fenghua has not arrived, Mei Ying will play Fenghua like the first to receive the order." ”
"Old lady, Miss is a royal daughter-in-law, it is inevitable to meet Gonggong Liu in the palace in the future, and there are also housekeepers in the Seventh Prince's Mansion, what will I do in the future?"
"Well, how did I not know? It's just that if it is not solved in the present, how can we talk about the future? After receiving the order, everyone went to search the mountain! ”
The old lady dropped the order, walked back to the hall quickly, and played Tai Chi with Father-in-law Liu: "The next person came to report that my granddaughter saw that the woods behind the courtyard were spacious, and she actually rode out on a horse, and the old man had sent someone to catch her back, and asked Father-in-law Liu Haihan." ”
Although the Gu Mansion is not spacious and magnificent, the backyard is connected to a forest, which is the reason why the second elder of the Gu family took a fancy to this mansion at the beginning.
Unexpectedly, decades later, it was used to fake a shot.
I can't really find fault with this reason. The Gu family has been a military general for generations, and Gu Fenghua was personally brought up by Gu Laotaijun, and I heard earlier that the daughter of the Gu family does not like red clothes and loves arms.
Although Gonggong Liu didn't like it, he also waited patiently, who told him to accept the money first.
It's just that the silver also has a time limit, and after a stick of incense, Gonggong Liu straightened his face and said sharply: "Old lady, where is the daughter of the Gu Mansion?" Our family still has to go back to the palace on time to reply to the decree, don't make it difficult for our family. ”
When the time came, the old lady knew that he couldn't delay any longer, so he could only let people pretend to appear.
She turned to the butler and shouted, "What's going on?" Immediately shouted Fenghua to come out to receive the order! ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw a slender figure break out of the curtain and kneel directly in front of the old lady and kowtow.
"There is no grace, it should be punished, grandmother should not be angry!"
After speaking, the person kneeling on the ground raised his head and grinned at the old lady.
The old lady saw the face of the person who came, her eyes lit up, and the one in front of her was her granddaughter Gu Fenghua, who kept her mind all the time.
However, the old lady immediately covered the secret joy in her heart, and scolded coldly: "It's getting worse and worse, I'll punish you later, and do the important thing first." ”
Fenghua got up seriously, walked to Gonggong Liu's seat in three steps and two steps, bowed quite unskillfully, and said loudly: "The courtier Gu Fenghua is late to receive the order, and the crime deserves death." ”
At this time, Fenghua did not apply powder, dressed in a red ink suit, with a tall and slender figure, looking heroic.
However, she has changed to a simple bun, so she is a little more handsome, and what is more attractive is her black and white almond eyes, clear as a pool, and her eyes are burning.
Gonggong Liu is an old man in the palace, and he has seen many beautiful harem beauties and maidens, but the moment he saw Gu Fenghua, he still had a sense of amazement, and secretly said in his heart: "If the military general's family is as prosperous as before, such a look and bearing, it is enough to be a queen, it's a pity." ”
Gonggong Liu restrained his impatience at first, got up and said a few words, and then began to announce the decree, and the Gu family knelt down straight to listen to the decree.
"Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says: Ye Yanqi, the seventh son of my son, has a valuable character, loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, and one in twenty is suitable for marriage. Today, there is the daughter of the Gu family, the general of Zhenxi, who is seventeen years old, dignified in appearance, both civil and military, and the Gu family also has merit in guarding the northwest, so I decreed that she was the concubine of the seventh prince Ye Yanqi, and chose September 16 to get married. ”
"Courtier, thank you for your grace." Fenghua kowtows to the order.
The Gu Mansion, which had been quiet for more than ten years, turned on the lights.
The people under the Gu Mansion shuttled back and forth briskly, regulating everything in the mansion.
The breeze was blowing, the lights were full of shadows, the shadows of the trees were swaying, and the return of the master injected the long-lost vitality into the Gu Mansion.
After the grandfather and grandson rested, they went to the back room to talk.
As soon as she entered the back room, the old lady held her granddaughter's hand tightly, looked up and down, and said distressedly: "Girl, you've lost weight again!" ”
Feng Huaqiang held back the emotions that surged up his head, and responded with a smile: "Grandmother, I'm strong!" You used to be a general, and you've seen round soldiers? ”
"You're always justified!" Tai Laojun frowned, "What's going on today, the road is not going well?" ”
"I was taught by you, what can go wrong." Fenghua hugged the old lady's shoulder and coquettishly, "It's just that people are not as good as the sky, the lightning and thunder startled the horses, and they were delayed for a long time." I wanted to be there before you and surprise you! ”
"It's getting more and more pizzy!" The old lady pretended to be angry and pushed away Fenghua, "The mountains are steep and dense, wild beasts come out, no one sets foot on them, you actually dare to turn over, I don't know how thick the sky is!" ”
Fenghua pretended to be surprised, "How come?" I saw that the grass was tall and dense, but there were traces of it falling on both sides, and someone must have passed by! After I have made a choice, I will observe the route before I march. ”
The old lady was laughed at angrily, and there was no way to take her granddaughter.
"I'll put gold on my face! That's it, just come back safely. I haven't seen you for half a year, do you know that your grandmother wants you tightly? ”
Fenghua looked at her grandmother's wrinkled face, her nose was sour, and she responded with a slight choked voice: "It's Fenghua who is not good, which makes my grandmother worried, but I will be able to accompany you in the future." ”
"You can coax me, I'm going to get married, how can I accompany me?" Speaking of her granddaughter's marriage, the old lady sighed, "Actually, if you don't want to get married, whether we are in Jiangnan or going to the northwest, I will always think of pushing it off." ”
