Chapter 41: This Can't Help Her!
Although Gonggong Cao didn't know Gu Nanyan, it would never be wrong for Gu Jianyuan to pick him up in person, he took two steps forward and smiled very kindly, "Presumably this is Miss Gu Wu, right?" ”
Gu Nanyan is actually no stranger to this Father-in-law Cao, in her previous life, as Fu Yanzhou's wife, she had a lot of dealings with this Father-in-law Cao for Fu Yanzhou.
But at the moment, she couldn't show anything, she only replied with a smile, "The little girl is Gu Wu, dare to ask who you are?" ”
Gu Jianyuan hurriedly smiled and said to Gu Nanyan: "Little Wu, this is Gonggong Cao who came to announce the decree for you in the palace that my father just told you!" ”
Gu Nanyan obediently saluted to Father-in-law Cao, "Father-in-law Cao is good!" ”
Seeing that she was well-mannered, Gonggong Cao smiled even more on his face, "Okay!" Good! Miss Gu Wu is so good at knowing the etiquette and good fortune! It's not too early, hurry in, and the miscellaneous family will announce the decree and return to the palace to resume his life! ”
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said, Gu Nanyan, the fifth daughter of the right prime minister Gu Jianyuan, was smart and clever, and saw through the villain who abducted the little prince of Xuanping Houfu on the street.
Seeing righteousness and courage, the outwitted villains sent back the little prince of Xuanping Houfu, so he gave a thousand taels of gold, ten pieces of southern pearls, and a hundred horses of brocade...... As a reward, I admire this! ”
After Gong Cao finished announcing his decree, he asked the little eunuch to open those rewards to Gu Nanyan.
Gu Nanyan was okay, but when Zheng saw this box of gold, he was so excited that his hands under his sleeves trembled a little.
Although the Zheng Guogong Mansion sounds glorious, the Zheng family actually started from Zheng Guogong's military career, and the foundation of the Zheng family is actually very shallow compared to other families.
Especially in terms of money, in order to support the field of Zheng Guogong's mansion on weekdays, Zheng Guogong's family spends a lot of money, and even many times the Zheng family needs to take silver to subsidize his mother's family.
The Zheng family would have given Gu Nanyan to Hu Dahai, who was far away in Jinzhou, before, but he also had the idea of giving a heavy dowry from Hu Dahai.
After Gu Nanyan took the order, he took some silver taels from his body and gave them to Father-in-law Cao, "Be careful, I hope that my father-in-law will smile!" ”
The silver taels are not much, and Gonggong Cao did not refuse, and smiled with crooked eyebrows, "Then the miscellaneous family will be touched by the blessing of Miss Gu's fifth!" ”
Zheng looked at the boxes of gold, and the depression in his heart was dissipated a lot, and after Cao's father-in-law and his party left, he said to Mama Lin: "Don't you move these to the warehouse soon!" ”
Hearing this, Gu Jianyuan's eyelids raised slightly and glanced at Gu Nanyan, but in the end, he acquiesced to Zheng's behavior without saying a word.
Bai Yu watched that his young lady's life was almost caught in and the hard-won reward was carried away like this, and he was so angry that his whole body trembled.
Gu Nanyan patted her hand lightly and comfortingly, and then said loudly: "Slow! ”
"Little Five! What are you doing? Although these are given to you by His Majesty, you are also a member of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and your rewards should naturally be included in the Prime Minister's Mansion!
Do you still want to swallow it yourself? Do you still have a little self-consciousness as the daughter of the Prime Minister? ”
Zheng thought that she was reluctant to accept these rewards, and hurriedly spoke up.
"Mother's words are wrong! The daughter has the consciousness of being the daughter of the prime minister's house, so she feels that these cannot be classified into the public middle school for two reasons.
First, in the past two days, there has been a lot of uproar because of the marriage between our prime minister and Hu Dahai.
When my daughter went out to eat today, I heard many people whispering that our Prime Minister's Mansion is already in the waning mountains, and we can't make ends meet, so I don't care about Hu Dahai's character, so I sold my daughter because of the covetousness of Hu Dahai's heavy dowry!
If today, our Prime Minister's Mansion even did not let go of the reward given to his daughter by the Holy Lord and was included in the public school, wouldn't that confirm the words of those people?
Second, when her daughter sent Xiao Shizi back to the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, Xiao Shizi said that she would come to her daughter in person to see what reward His Majesty had given her daughter.
If you put these into the public school, will the daughter of the little prince come and wait for him to see the treasury of my prime minister's mansion? ”
"Ridiculous! Outsiders ......" Zheng's words were interrupted by Gu Jianyuan in a deep voice,
"Enough! These rewards were originally given to Xiao Wu by His Majesty! Send her to the Light Smoke Pavilion! ”
Zheng wanted to say more, but he was stunned by Gu Jianyuan's eye, and he turned to Gu Nanyan and whispered: "You still have injuries on your body, just go back and rest first, and Dr. Xu will go to show you in a while!" ”
"Yes! Daughter, thank her father," Gu Nanyan saluted Gu Jianyuan and returned to Qingyan Pavilion.
Gu Youyao watched the boxes of rewards being carried in the direction of the Light Smoke Pavilion, and almost couldn't hold back the noble and indifferent look on her face.
When she saw these boxes just now, she thought the same as Zheng's, thinking that these were hired by Fu Yanzhou.
But the fact was Gu Nanyan's reward, thinking of the words she said to Gu Jianyuan and the Zheng family at that time, these rewards made her look even more like a joke.
Zheng didn't care about comforting her at this time, and hurriedly followed after watching Gu Jianyuan go to the study,
"Sir! How can you really give all those rewards to Xiao Wu!? What is the situation in our public middle school, you don't know? In a few days, the eldest brother will return triumphantly, and we will have more places to use silver! ”
During this time, because Zheng Linyuan gave the Zheng family some ideas, and because Gu Youyao was useful again, the relationship between Gu Jianyuan and the Zheng family eased a lot.
Gu Jianyuan sat in front of the bookcase and listened to Zheng's chatter, and couldn't help but reach out and touch the secret grid of the bookcase, and those who were familiar with him would know that his small action was actually something he would do if he was very impatient.
He watched Zheng's lips open and close, and it felt like countless bees were buzzing in his ears, but he didn't say anything to interrupt.
It wasn't until Zheng finished speaking that he spoke: "Madame, don't be impatient, Xiao Wu's words do have some truth, Hu Dahai's incident is in an uproar, maybe Zhuo Bufan is waiting to see my jokes!" ”
"But... But that can't really give the silver to Xiao Wu! ”
"Madame is confused! Xiao Wu's daughter's family is usually in the house, can she still transport the boxes of rewards out?
Although it is now placed in her light smoke pavilion, isn't it still our prime minister's house after all?
What is the difference between the light smoke pavilion in her and the treasury in the public middle school, wait until this limelight has passed, and then let her take out the reward! ”
Zheng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and then he was worried:
"It's easy to say, sir! Didn't you notice that Xiao Wu, this girl has been evil lately! I'm afraid that when the time comes, it won't be so easy for her to take out! ”
Gu Jianyuan remembered her cold posture and voice when he saw Gu Nanyan in Jingzhao Yin Mansion, and his voice suddenly became a little colder,
"It's up to her!"
Zheng got this before leaving happily, after she left, Gu Jianyuan didn't know what she was thinking, and sat quietly in the study for a long time before asking Uncle Wu to find a reason to bring Furong over.
After a while, Uncle Wu brought Hibiscus with a food box to the study.
