When Gu Yin and Gu Ye returned to the British government, Wang Shi and Wu Zhong had already eaten their evening meal and were accompanying Wu An to do their homework.
Seeing their mother and son coming back together, Mrs Wang smiled and said, "Little monkey boy, I heard from your mother in the morning that you will come home and live in the future. I specially asked the cook to cook an elbow again, but I didn't expect you to come back again. Have a meal."
Gu Ye hurriedly got tired of going to Wang's side and said, "I know that milk hurts me the most. Today, I encountered something outside the palace. After leaving the palace, I was delayed for a while, so I came back late."
When Wang asked anything, Gu Yin naturally didn't hide it from her, and told her about the encounter with Chen's mother and son.
Wang Shi sighed after hearing this, and then looked at Wu Zhong.
Wu Zhong nodded and said, "It's okay, let's talk."
The Wang family first let the two little guys do their homework together, and then closed the door.
When only the three of them were left, Mrs Wang said, "That daughter-in-law is also pitiful. Last time, your father listened to me for a while and told me something old."
Back then, when Mrs. Chen arrived at the barracks as a cook, she wasn't someone who was ambitious and wanted to climb up the ladder.
Just because her craftsmanship is better than the average person, she caught Feng Yuan's eyes and often let her cook alone.
After going back and forth, the two gradually fell in love.
At that time, Feng Yuan wanted to accept her because of the rumors in the army, but because of their different identities, Chen Shi refused to be a child and never accepted him.
Once Feng Yuan was poisoned, the doctor said it was impossible to live.
It stands to reason that the Chen family has not started with him yet, and it is time to distance himself from him.
But at that time, she was willing to take care of him in a disorganized manner.
Later, the rebels fought another victory. Feng Yuan accidentally got an antidote and recovered, and immediately held a lively wedding in the army. It didn't take long for Chen to be pregnant with Feng Yu.
This story in the army is almost unknown to the veterans.
At this moment, although others don't know how Qin Shi treats his daughter-in-law at home, but watching her go out to dinners every time, she doesn't bring Chen Shi, and when she mentions her, she is sneered, and you don't need to think about it to know that this good story may not continue. , Chen's life will not be easy.
It's also sad to think about.
Gu Yin didn't dislike Chen Shi originally, but she didn't expect her to have such a strong side under her gentle and gentle appearance.
If this is a well-connected family, seeing this kind of injustice, Gu Yin and Wang Shi will naturally come to help.
However, the two families are incompatible, and if they intervene, it will be even more difficult for the Chen family.
Not long after, Wu An and Gu Ye finished their homework.
Wu An's face was still normal, but Gu Ye rubbed his brows, as if he was tired.
Seeing Mr. Wang, he asked, "Xiaoye is only on the first day of school, so he has so much homework? Look at our Xiaoye's tiredness, can't we make up for it?"
Before Gu Ye spoke, Wu An burst out laughing.
Wang asked you why you were laughing, Wu An glanced at Gu Ye, Gu Ye blushed, and said, "If you have something to say, just say it, what do you see me doing?"
Wu An then said: "No laughing, it's just that Ono's homework is to memorize a section of the "Three Character Classic". He has already finished memorizing it, and he is tired because he just wrote a new outline for the play."
Wang Shi couldn't help laughing and said, "Why are you tinkering with drama again?"
"Hey!" Gu Ye waved his hand like a little adult, "I don't know about it. This drama is like the food in the Niang Restaurant. It has to be constantly innovated. I'm starting to write now, it will be ranked this month, and it will be available next month. Watching a new play!"
"Okay, what story are you going to write this time?"
Mrs. Wang loves to watch dramas, and she likes the dramas made up by her grandson even more. She has watched "The Love and Flow" no less than ten times, and she will memorize many of the arias.
Gu Ye said: "This time, I'm going to make up a story about an evil mother-in-law abusing her daughter-in-law."
Wang Shi and Gu Yin looked at each other, if it wasn't for their cubs who didn't like to listen to corners, they would all doubt what he said just now and let him listen.
However, it is not difficult to understand that this kind of drama is quite conventional. When he was in Hanshan Town, Wang had heard a similar one, and his daughter-in-law also entered the palace to be a concubine.
So the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law did not speak up.
It was also getting dark, Gu Yin urged everyone to rest, she stayed for a while, and asked people to wait in front.
Later, she heard that Wu Qingyi had also returned, so she went back to the house to rest.
The next day before dawn, Wu Qingyi waited for Gu Ye for a quarter of an hour. He didn't see him passing, so he came from the front yard to arrest someone.
The weather was still freezing. Gu Ye woke up two days early, but he couldn't get up that day. He was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes. If you don't come, I won't go today!"
Of course, Wu Qingyi had the strength to dig him up, but he was afraid that his attack would be heavy and hurt him.
In the stalemate, Gu Yin held the small padded jacket, pushed the door open, and said with a smile, "I knew that there was a brat who had to stay in bed today, let me see which unreasonable little guy it is?"
Gu Ye giggled under the quilt.
Gu Yin walked to the bed and said, "Get up quickly, your clothes are making you feel hot."
Gu Ye then let go of his hand holding the quilt, and with a sleepy voice, he said in a stern voice, "Mother, let me wear it."
Gu Yin dressed him, he was fully awake, and got out of bed to wash himself.
Waiting for his time, Gu Yin asked someone to bring food, and said with Wu Qing: "You came back late yesterday, and you got up early again today, bring something to eat."
The food was not made by the cooks in the house, it was the Roujiamo that Gu Yin tinkered with.
Baked white-faced buns that are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, plus minced diced meat with sauce, the diced meat is fat and thin, and the gravy is overflowing. Pack it with oiled paper. It is the most hungry thing to eat in the morning.
Wu Qingyi took two oil paper bags and said with a chuckle, "Okay, I'll take it to eat on the road."
Gu Ye washed up and ran over, clutching his hairband in his hand, urging Wu Qingyi to set off, moving his little nose again, and sniffing: "What's the smell, it smells so good!"
"Puppy's nose, so smart?" Gu Yin nodded his nose, "I've prepared it for you too."
Hearing that it was new, Gu Ye took two and asked his mother, "Is there any more? I'll bring some to the palace as well."
Gu Yin prepared it for the rest of the family, but it was still early, and there was still time to do it again for Wu Zhong and Wang Shi, so Gu Yin said, "Yes, yes, that is..."
She didn't know that Gu Ye often brought food into the palace for a long time, thinking that it would be bad to bring things from outside to the palace, and she was afraid of causing trouble for Gu Ye.
Gu Ye waved his hand, "Mother don't think so much, Uncle said that His Majesty likes straight people, I just take it with me, it doesn't matter if I eat it or not."
Wu Qingyi can become Emperor Zhengyuan's right-hand man, and his understanding of Emperor Zhengyuan is naturally comparable to that of ordinary people, and today's food is all handled by Gu Yin herself to ensure that there is no problem, so she gave Gu Ye a few other meat buns that she had prepared. All brought.
After leaving the British palace, the sky was green with crab shells. Wu Qingyi took the crane cloak that Emperor Zhengyuan gave to Gu Ye, wrapped him from head to toe, wrapped it into a fluffy ball, and held him in the deserted street. Horses run wild.
Hurry up and hurry, the two finally entered the palace before the court.
Emperor Zhengyuan just came out of Wenhua Palace, and when he saw him, he pretended to be angry and said, "I have replaced you with a new gentleman. I was thinking of introducing it to you before the court, but I didn't expect you to come at this hour."
Gu Ye quickly begged for mercy: "I was wrong, I was wrong, this is not the age of a long man, greedy!"
This is what Wang often said about Gu Ye, and it is also what the older generation would say, but I have never heard a child say that.
Emperor Zhengyuan couldn't help laughing, "You are quite reasonable."
"No," Gu Ye smiled flatteringly again, "I really knew I was wrong. I came here in the morning without anything to eat, have you eaten yet?"
"I will wait until the end of the morning before eating. If you are hungry, let me get you something to eat first. You don't have to wait for me."
Gu Ye took out an oiled paper bag and handed it to him, "Then put it on first."
Emperor Zhengyuan laughed and said, "I'll go to the front of the court now. You want me to eat it when I go to court?"
Gu Ye said what's the point, "Your sleeves are so big, you just need to stop. And who dares to look up when you go to court?"
After speaking, the eunuch came over and said that all the officials had arrived, and Emperor Zhengyuan immediately went over.
When he sat on the dragon chair, he realized that the oil paper bag was still in his hand. Fortunately, as Gu Ye said, his sleeves are so wide that no one else can see him.
Today, the last court is talking about the backlog of affairs from years ago. Since those affairs will be backlogged, each has its own difficulties.
The mess that followed has not yet been sorted out, and the two courtiers are unwilling to let the other argue.
Emperor Zhengyuan heard one and two big ones. At first, he persuaded them a few words from both sides. Later, when he saw that the two of them didn't listen to the persuasion like a cockfight, he saved his words.
Being an emperor is a hard job, but Emperor Zhengyuan only slept for two or three hours and didn't eat anything, so he couldn't hold it any longer.
The oil paper bag in his hand was still warm, and Emperor Zheng Yuan covered his face with his big sleeves as if he had a headache, and started eating.
That Roujiamo is the size of a palm, and for an adult man, it's just a few mouthfuls.
However, he had just eaten half of it when suddenly a censor who attached great importance to the rules and regulations said: "What's the taste? Who dares to eat on the Golden Temple, are there any rules?"
Emperor Zhengyuan's face was ashamed, he hurriedly wrapped the paper bag, and put down his sleeves.
Fortunately, the imperial censor did not suspect that Emperor Zhengyuan was on his head, but just checked other ministers with his eyes.
"That's enough," Emperor Zhengyuan waved his hand helplessly, "Let's retire from the DPRK today, we will discuss it tomorrow if we have something to do!"
The new dynasty still follows the old system of the previous dynasty, one dynasty every five days, but if there are unfinished affairs, the dynasty will be attended almost every day.
After retreating from the DPRK, Wu Qingyi deliberately stayed for a while.
Emperor Zhengyuan thought he had something important to report, and asked the palace servants to go down first. I didn't expect him to be fine, so he just pointed to his lips and said, "Your Majesty, here."
Emperor Zhengyuan reached out and touched it, and he really touched the crumbs.
Fortunately, he just saw it, and Emperor Zhengyuan wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and then acted as if nothing had happened.
There was no one else in the hall, Wu Qingyi simply took out an oiled paper bag and started eating.
Emperor Zhengyuan had just stole food in front of civil and military officials, and it was hard to tell him, but he smiled helplessly and glared at him, telling him to go to the top after eating.
Back at Wenhua Hall, Gu Ye had already spoken to Mr. Xin.
There are two new gentlemen in total. One is the Master Wen, whom Emperor Zhengyuan said before, and the other is also a Hanlin bachelor who helped Emperor Zhengyuan to write plays. He is less than thirty years old and is the champion of the previous dynasty. It's called Xun Minxue.
There are three gentlemen in total, including the old, middle and young generations, and it is also the consideration of Emperor Zhengyuan for Gu Ye.
When Emperor Zhengyuan came over, Gu Ye was muttering to Master Wen.
As soon as he saw him, Gu Ye immediately stopped and said with a smile, "I'm waiting for your morning meal, I'll start class after I finish eating."
In private, Gu Ye said "you" one at a time, but it was impossible for him to be close, but he still knew how to call him "you" in front of others.
Emperor Zhengyuan asked Master Wen and Xun Minxue to go to the side hall to eat and prepare lessons, and he and Gu Ye used it together.
"Can you still eat it? I just gave me that sandwich, and I'm almost done eating half of it."
Gu Ye chuckled, "Is it delicious? My mother made it. It's not called Jiabing, it's called Roujiamo. But I didn't eat it, so I sent it to Grandma and Niangniang."
Emperor Zhengyuan had already heard people say that when he went back the day before, he also knew that he went to the two palaces of Cining and Kunning. Hearing him again, he felt even more anxious.
At present, who is the identity of the family, who would actually be short of a bite to eat? But it's hard not to make one's heart soften when this kind of behavior puts the family at ease.
The two ate snacks and porridge together. Emperor Zhengyuan said to him: "There is something for you to decide. You choose a companion to come to the palace."
Gu Ye immediately smiled, and Emperor Zhengyuan said again, "It's better not to belong to the Wu family."
Gu Ye, who was the first to think of Wu'an, immediately fainted, and Emperor Zhengyuan rubbed the top of his head and analyzed it to him: "It's not that I don't like the children of the Wu family, but that there is only one place for you to accompany you, this person, or even this one. The family standing behind the person will be used by you. I know that you grew up with the children of the Wu family, and the love is incomparable to outsiders. But it is precisely because of this, so don't choose him, understand?"
Gu Ye understood. Companion reading is to give him the opportunity to cultivate his own people. Wu An is already in his camp, and he said that he should give this opportunity to others.
Moreover, Gu Ye thought that Wu An is more shy and introverted, and he is more lively when he is at home. He will be uncomfortable outside. If he is allowed to enter the palace, he may not be able to get used to it for a while.
Although Gu Ye had not been in contact with Emperor Zhengyuan for a long time, Emperor Zhengyuan thought about everything for him. Gu Ye knew that he was good to himself.
"Can I think about it?" He was no longer unhappy, leaning on Emperor Zheng Yuan as if he had no bones.
He is not yet seven years old, but he understands the truth, unlike other children of this age who only cry when things go wrong.
Emperor Zhengyuan said naturally: "Of course you can, around the end of the first month, I will order to restore your identity, you think slowly."
Gu Ye nodded. In fact, he has another candidate, Feng Yu.
Although we have known each other for a short time, Feng Yu misunderstood him for stealing things at first. He first gave him money, and then followed him out to persuade him, asking him if he had encountered any difficulties, and later told him so many allusions.
When borrowing the playbook from him, Feng Yu was still thinking of reporting on his family, and he did not deliberately conceal the identities of the two rivals.
Whether it's a person or literary talent, Feng Yu can't pick out mistakes, it's excellent.
The bad thing is that he belongs to the Duke of Lu, and he is also a companion. He must be his cousin. Where is his turn? Very sad.
…
Gu Yin sent away one big and one small, and went to the kitchen to make roujiamo for the rest of the family before going to Shiweitian.
It was almost noon, and there was a sudden noise outside. Gu Yin went outside to see that it was a convoy delivering things.
Taibai Street was already bustling, and the convoy transported large items, which blocked the road.
Gu Yin asked people to inquire, only to find out that these things were delivered to Wangtianlou - the location at the end of the street is not as easy as the street where Shiweitian is located, and if you transport large items, you can only pass through the entrance of Shiweitian. .
It was Da Sun who inquired about the news. She was so shrewd in her heart that she not only heard about this, but stopped talking, "Master, I have something to say. I don't know if I should say it or not."
Gu Yin asked her to speak, and she said: "I think those things are both gold and jade, not like those used in ordinary restaurants. They are like things used by women's nobles, and I'm still looking at Tianlou. Seeing that there are craftsmen coming and going, his guy also told people that the top floor is not open today and needs to be repaired. Do you think they are…”
The Chen family had only been here the day before, and today Wangtianlou started beating, buying things for women.
Naturally, he wanted to copy his own Light Food Yashe.
The speed was faster than Gu Yin expected, but it was not surprising enough.
"I see." Gu Yin nodded, "It's okay, let's take a look."
Not to mention that her own Light Food Yashe is blessed with desserts made by Gu Yin herself, just looking at the decorations, she feels that Wangtianlou can't understand - how should I put it, the things they transported are expensive and beautiful, but the feeling to her is, It's not something that a young woman would like, it's something that a man thinks a woman likes.
And the tables and chairs are also mainly mahogany, mahogany is naturally more expensive, and it looks better in the store.
But this kind of color is actually not conducive to opening a store and retaining customers. It is easy to make people anxious after looking at it for a long time, not to mention that kind of hard chair, which cannot be compared with the sofa in terms of comfort.
Gu Yin couldn't help thinking of the Chen family. She spent a whole day in the Yashe yesterday, did she notice that the sofa was more comfortable than ordinary wooden chairs
Things like sofas are cheaper than mahogany tables and chairs, and the practice is not complicated. Tell the craftsmen, and they can do it right away.
Wangtianlou didn't copy it, it should be because she didn't mention it at all when she went back.
He is indeed a very good person. If the two families were not opposed, Gu Yin would have wanted to be her friend.
…
Yueban'an outside the city is the place where the incense flourishes in the capital.
It is also the place where Wu Zhong set up a memorial tablet for his family before and sent Shen Hanchun over to recuperate.
This day, Mrs. Wang listened to the imperial doctor's message, saying that Shen Hanchun felt a little lonely outside, so she came to visit her on behalf of the whole family.
Since Shen Hanchun's recuperation, his body has improved a lot, at least he can get out of bed.
But when she heard Wang's coming, she still said that she was not in good health, and that she would not be able to see her because of her illness.
She herself said that she felt lonely, and it was strange that she was no one at the moment.
But Wang's heart was guilty—the former family almost killed her by accident, and at that time, Gu Ye was asked to visit her every day, and only later did she realize that the most valuable person in this life was Gu Ye. So Wang Shi didn't get angry, and only told the maids to serve with all their heart, and then turned around and went to burn incense.
The weather was a bit gloomy that day, few people left the city, and there were only three or five pilgrims in the nunnery.
Mrs Wang knelt in front of the futon and prayed for the family.
When she opened her eyes again, she found a person kneeling on the futon beside her.
"Chen Shi, a faithful girl, was kidnapped at a young age and sold into a juggling class. She has a difficult life. I don't dare to look forward to myself. I just ask the Buddha's blessing, bless my parents and my mother, and I won't suffer from the wind and the sun on the pier, bless me. grow up safely..."
The young woman had a pious face, and even Wang shi looked at her for a long time without realizing it.
Wang saw her for a reason, because she heard her voice familiar, and when she recalled it carefully, she remembered that it was Qin's daughter-in-law whom she met in the theater that day.
Her voice is gentle and soft, and the emphasis in Mandarin is different from that of ordinary people. Even worse than his own daughter-in-law.
So Wang was deeply impressed by her.
Chen opened her eyes and saw Wang, she said apologetically, "Is my voice too loud to disturb Madam?"
Wang shook her head and said no, and then she didn't know what to say, so she couldn't help but sigh, "You are good. Sigh..."
Seeing that Mrs. Chen was still with someone, Mrs. Wang was afraid that she would talk to her and let Mrs. Qin know that she was going to punish her, so she didn't say any more and left immediately.
In the wing room, Shen Hanchun was asking a little nun, "Are you sure the two of them are praying together?"
"Yes." The little nun nodded, "but why did Sister Shen ask me to lead the two ladies to one place? Do you want them to become friends?"
This little nun was eleven or twelve years old and was one of the abandoned babies adopted by the nunnery owner in the troubled times.
She grew up in this nunnery since she was a child. Although she was not particularly young, she had a clear mind and didn't understand the dangers of the world at all, so she asked Shen Hanchun to help her run errands just by coaxing her.
A sneer appeared on Shen Hanchun's lips, are you making friends? Of course not, she wants to make the two families enmity!
That Chen family is not a powerful person, and even the entire Lu Guogong mansion will not be a big person in the future.
But Feng Yu, the heir of the Duke of Lu's mansion, was the most powerful.
Before the Lie Emperor ascended the throne, although Emperor Zhengyuan loved his son, his road to the throne was not smooth.
The biggest opponent is Lu Xu, the prince born to Feng Guifei.
It's not that Lu Xu is amazing and talented, but that he has a very powerful cousin, Feng Yu.
That Feng Yu was an all-rounder in both civil and military affairs, and with his assistance, Lu Xu could compete with Prince Lie in court.
Feng Yu's defeat in the back is not because he is inferior to others, but because the prince lied behind him and grabbed him - he killed his relatives!
It wasn't anyone else who was killed, it was the old lady of Lu Guo's mansion, his own grandmother!
After he became the heir, he had people give Qin Shi a chronic poison, which caused Qin Shi to suffer from stroke-like symptoms in his later years.
This fact is appalling and unbelievable. What did he do to kill his own grandmother
Only later did he find out that it was because his mother let the Qin spar to die when he was in his teens. Qin Shi also followed the practice of the ancients, covering his face with hair and stuffing his mouth with chaff, preventing his mother from going to Huangquan Road to complain.
He was avenging his mother.
Although it is excusable, this kind of thing is indeed unacceptable. Emperor Zhengyuan sentenced him to be executed. Lu Xu also had no hope of winning the succession because of such a bad family.
On the day he asked about the beheading, Lu Xu, Feng Guifei and others didn't go to see him, only Prince Lie went to see him.
I heard that the two of them enjoyed each other on the Dharma field and cherished each other.
At that time, the case involved poisoning, so Emperor Zhengyuan sent all the people who knew medical skills in the palace to conduct a thorough investigation, and Shen Hanchun was also among them, so he knew a lot about the whole case.
Despite knowing that in a few years, the two will become sworn enemies.
But Shen Hanchun couldn't wait, and she couldn't wait, she was going to drag the British government into the water.
After leaving the little nun and maidservant, Shen Hanchun went out of Banyue Nunnery on the grounds of exercising his sick body and contacted some people of the three religions.
After today, everyone in the capital will know the origin of the Chen family—an orphan who was kidnapped by kidnappers. Earlier, she made a living by selling jokes and juggling skills in the juggling team.
Many people now know that Mrs. Chen used to be a cook in the military camp, but before she became a cook, she was naturally only someone who was really close to Mrs. Chen, or, like Mr. Wang, heard her from the side. Only those who pray for blessings will know.
The dignified lady of the country, let people know this background, I am afraid that it will soon become a joke in the whole capital.
The old lady in the Duke's Mansion of Lu was most concerned about her face, but as soon as the rumors came out, she knew that she would be furious and scolded the Chen family more and more.
Feng Yu attaches great importance to his mother, and will definitely not forget the rumor that he has harmed his mother.
Will he also regard the British government as an enemy
Shen Hanchun couldn't wait to know.
