Chapter 10: elder sister

Views:

In the small half-month after the earthquake, the weather has not been very good, it is either raining or gloomy. The DPRK and China were worried that people would suffer from dysentery due to drinking dirty water, so they sent patrols to the streets every day to publicize that the water must be boiled and drink, and don’t kill the family in order to save some firewood money.

The Ministry of Industry also sent people to sprinkle quicklime everywhere, posted various precautionary notices, and even imposed strict rules on what people could do and what they could not do.

Fortunately, this is the boundary of the capital. Whenever people have diarrhea or fever, no official dares to save the trouble and put these patients aside to die. Instead, they are all kept in a secluded place on the outskirts of the city, and they are given free medicine every day. Going down, it saves a lot of people.

The vigorous post-disaster arrangements in the capital once again gave the little emperor a boost of prestige. In the eyes of the common people, he seems to be a virtuous and virtuous king, who has more than eighteen streets behind the previous emperor.

The people of the Dafeng Dynasty are also very pragmatic, they praise whoever is good, and they will never feel distressed.

The little emperor got the most benefit from this incident. Gu Changling, who dared to speak out, also gained a great reputation. In the eyes of the common people, he was a good official who dared to take risks for the lives of the people; in the eyes of scholars, he was a representative of high moral character and integrity.

In the eyes of the aristocratic family... The aristocratic families said that they were very heartbroken, and they were not in the mood to think about the beauty of others, but they were unlucky.

Therefore, when the news that Gu Changling's second daughter was appointed as a county magistrate came out, no one was surprised, but felt that it should be the case. Half a month later, Gu Changling's second waiter was promoted to first waiter, and his wife was also named as a county wife. For a time, the Gu clan in the capital was unexpectedly beautiful.

Many people are both envious and jealous of the Gu family, but thinking that if they meet this matter, they may not have the courage of Gu Changling to report the matter. So this envy gradually became convincing. Others can do things that they can't do. If they are not convinced, is it still pantothenic

There may be people with pantothenic acid, but when Gu Changling has won the hearts of the people, no one will show any dissatisfaction with the Gu family. Upright.

The image of the aristocratic family has always been upright and lofty, so after their sincere or insincere praise, the "good official" label on Gu Changling's body has almost been firmly nailed.

The most important thing in the family is face. Now that Gu Changling has such a good reputation, even the image of the entire Gu family seems to be raised a lot.

After the capital was completely restored to its former prosperity and tranquility, Gu Rujiu's sister Gu Panqi took her uncle Zhang Shao back to her parents' house.

Hearing that the eldest sister was back, Gu Rujiu deliberately changed her clothes before leaving the yard. As soon as she entered the main yard, she heard laughter from inside the house. She stepped into the house quickly, not bothering to salute her parents, brother and sister-in-law, so she walked towards Gu Pan. beside Qi.

"Sister," lifted the skirt, Gu Rujiu trotted to Gu Panqi, and quickly scanned the other person from head to toe, turned her head and smiled and saluted Zhang Shao who was sitting next to Gu Zhiyu: "Brother-in-law, well."

"Hello auntie." Zhang Xun got up and returned the gift, and then gave Gu Rujiu another gift.

"Thank you brother-in-law, sister," Gu Rujiu took the gift box, sat down beside Gu Panqi, and whispered, "Is sister okay recently?"

Gu Panqi smiled and nodded slightly, "Zhang Jiaren is very good to me, your brother-in-law is a gentle person, don't worry about me." She has a deep relationship with her sister. Red eyes and nose.

After arriving at Zhang's house, she was always worried that the maids serving her sister were not careful enough, and that her sister would be lonely without her company, although many times, she knew that these worries were unnecessary. But she only has one sister for Jiujiu, and Jiujiu only has one sister like herself, so how can she not worry

"I'm relieved to see my sister like this." Gu Rujiu was not lying. Although the status of men and women in the Dafeng Dynasty was not as harsh as that of the Ming and Qing Dynasties in her previous life, the status of women was not comparable to that in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. on the man. In case the mother-in-law of Zhang's family is mean, the brother-in-law is not caring enough, and the sister-in-law is not harmonious enough, these will affect the quality of the marriage.

"Half-old child, what do you worry about?" Gu Panqi laughed when she saw the appearance of little adult Gu Rujiu, "Your sister, am I the kind of person who doesn't say a word after being bullied?"

Gu Panqi can be sure that if the Zhang family dares to treat her badly, her parents and elder brothers will definitely lead someone to smash the gate of the Zhang family, instead of letting her get angry at the Zhang family.

With such a family behind her, what is she afraid of

Gu Rujiu covered her mouth and snickered. Her sister's appearance was as gentle as water, but her temperament was not like that.

Seeing the two daughters sitting in the corner talking and talking, Mrs. Yang observed her son-in-law's reaction by raising a cup to drink tea. Seeing that Zhang Xun was not unhappy, and even had a little indulgence in it, she nodded with satisfaction.

It seems that the decision to agree to the Zhang family's marriage proposal was very correct. Whether the relationship between husband and wife is good or bad can be seen from the eyes.

"Master Taishan told his son-in-law in advance before the earthquake, so that the son-in-law's family could be spared. Lord Taishan's kindness, the little son-in-law is so grateful that he can't repay it." Zhang Xun respected Gu Changling, his father-in-law very much, and then It's nothing more than a door-to-door son-in-law.

"Although you are only half of my son, but in my eyes, you are no different from my own child. It is natural for a father to tell his son in advance if he has something to do, so why be grateful?" Gu Changling waved his hand and said, "You If you say these words again, you will be seen outside."

Hearing this, Zhang Xun was so moved that his eyes turned red, and he didn't say any more words of thanks. It was only after dinner and tea that Gu Rujiu discovered that her brother-in-law was really filial to her father as his own.

It seems that in the eyes of her brother-in-law, her father's status is indeed not low.

Zhang Xun accompanied Gu Panqi at Gu's house until the evening before leaving. Gu Rujiu watched as her brother-in-law supported her sister's hand into the carriage and left, with a smile on her face.

Knowing that her sister was happy, she was relieved.

Zhang Xun and Gu Panqi came this time, firstly to see their family members, and secondly to express their gratitude to Gu Changling on behalf of the Zhang family.

Before the earthquake, Gu Changling had sent a servant to inform Zhang of the incident. Although the Zhang family didn't quite believe it, they still made some preparations in order to save face for their relatives.

Who knew that these preparations saved the Zhang family, and soon no one was injured or killed in their entire family, and even the important things in the house were basically protected, so they were very clear about how big this favor was. That's why the old man of the Zhang family specially let the husband and wife go on this trip, in order to make the relationship between the two families closer in the future.

Time always flies, summer goes to winter, and after New Year's Eve, it's spring again.

Spring returns to the earth, when the flowers are in full bloom, it has always been the favorite season for the young ladies of noble families, because at this time, they have countless novel play tricks.

In recent years, every time this time, Gu Rujiu has received many invitations, but this year's invitations are extraordinarily large compared to previous years.

Turning over the flower drawing invitation card in her hand, Gu Rujiu smiled. The Sima family invited her to go to the outskirts of the city to see the flowers on horseback, and she naturally would not refuse. He wrote a reply letter by himself and asked him to send it to Sima Ling. Gu Rujiu played with the delicate invitation in his hand, recalling what the Queen Mother had said to her a few days ago.

The pictures of Sima's family are not small.

What can you picture? It's just a post and a future position.

An emperor who was already firm and resolute at the age of thirteen, would let the Sima family calculate

I'm afraid the Sima family knows it in their hearts, so they are so shy, but they are not willing to give up like this.
