"Great news, ma'am. Master is out of prison."
Gao Sanfu came to Furong Courtyard full of excitement.
When Xie heard the movement, he suddenly stood up from the chair.
Dizzy, almost fell.
Chunhe quickly supported Xie Shi, "Miss, be careful."
"It's okay, I'm fine."
Xie's face turned red, unable to hide his excitement. She thought that there was no hope, and she almost gave up. Already thinking about how the family will live if Mr. Gu can't come out.
Unexpectedly, Master Gu was released in the blink of an eye.
So, so incredible.
Xie asked excitedly: "Is the master really released?"
Gao Sanfu nodded heavily, "This matter is absolutely true. The younger one accompanied the third young master and the sixth young master to see the master in the imperial prison. He saw the master released from the imperial prison with his own eyes. The two young masters will accompany the master now. The youngest, Mr. Come back and report the good news to your wife."
"Thank God! Thank you Bodhisattva for your blessing, thank you Taishang Laojun for your blessing..."
Mrs. Xie fiddled with the prayer beads in her hands, and thanked Mantian God and Buddha.
Then she asked: "Where is the master now? Are you back?"
"Master has to rush into the palace to meet Saint Xie En, and he will not be able to return until dark."
Xie's heart skipped a beat when he heard that Mr. Gu was going to the palace to face the saint.
She hadn't forgotten that the last time Mr. Gu went to the palace to face the saint, he ended up in jail.
Will this be the case again.
"Master, why don't you come back to get rid of the bad luck first, and then go to face the saint. If this offends His Majesty, what should I do?"
Xie was terribly worried.
He was afraid that Mr. Gu would be rejected by the emperor because of his poor image, so he would throw Mr. Gu into the imperial prison and lock him up.
The emperor's temper was cloudy and cloudy, and sometimes he couldn't figure out where the taboo was violated, and the officials were thrown into prison.
Similar things are not uncommon in these years.
It is said that the older the emperor is, the more eccentric his temper becomes.
This statement is absolutely wise.
Gao Sanfu comforted Mrs. Xie, "Madam, don't worry, the master is sure to be fine this time. Madam, do you know who came to the prison to welcome you?"
"Who is it?" Xie Shi asked nervously.
Gao Sanfu said excitedly: "It's Shen Changshi next to His Majesty. Don't look at Shen Changshi's young age, he is a real celebrity around His Majesty. There are rumors in the palace that in a few years, Shen Changshi will definitely be promoted to the Internal Supervisor servant."
"Really?" While Mrs. Xie was happy, there was still a hidden worry in her heart.
Gao Sanfu nodded again and again, "This matter is absolutely true. Shen Changshi personally went to the prison to welcome the master out of prison, and then escorted the master into the palace to meet the saint. Ma'am, this is a good omen. From now on, the master will be very happy and rich. .”
Mrs. Xie breathed a sigh of relief, completely relieved, "It's so good! Thank God. Why haven't Liulang and the others come back?"
Gao Sanfu hurriedly said: "The third young master and the sixth young master are waiting at the gate of the palace. After the master leaves the palace, they will return to the mansion together."
Mrs. Xie nodded, "It's right to do so. They are all filial children."
Mr. Gu was released from prison, allowing Mrs. Xie to let go of her prejudice against Gu Ting for a while, and praised Ting when she looked back.
The news of Mr. Gu's release from prison quickly spread throughout the entire government. All the people in the house were waiting, all smiling, and the lanterns hanging under the eaves looked very festive.
Thank God, the master is safe and sound. This year is finally going to be a good year.
The eldest wife, Mrs. Zhang, came to the Furong Courtyard and congratulated Mrs. Xie in person.
Mrs. Xie was smiling, in a good mood, and her spirit also improved.
She greeted Mrs. Zhang to take a seat, feeling both emotional and grateful.
Mrs. Zhang said with a smile: "I have already said that the second brother is auspicious and has his own natural appearance. You see, I have hit the mark. The younger brothers and sisters can now feel relieved and take good care of their bodies."
Xie's face was flushed, she was too excited. The mood has not been calmed down.
She said to Mrs. Zhang: "Thank you sister-in-law. These days, brother and sister-in-law have worked hard, and you are tired of running around."
"It's too outlandish for younger brothers and sisters to say this. Change to a treat tomorrow, and the younger brothers and sisters can drink two more glasses."
Xie smiled and said, "Then it's settled."
The maid Dongmei came in from the outside, "Qi Madam, the Hou Mansion next door sent someone to bring some jars of wine to congratulate the master on his safe release from prison."
Mrs. Zhang reminded Mrs. Xie, "This time the Hou Mansion has helped a lot. The old Mr. Hou is running around every day, and he has lost a few laps. After the second brother comes back, the younger brother and the younger brother have a good discussion. Go to the Hou Mansion next door to say thank you, and say hello to the old Mrs. Hou Ye."
Mrs. Xie nodded again and again, "Sister-in-law is right. When my master comes back, I will discuss it with him. I must thank the Hou's next door. This time, thanks to the old master who is running around, my master can come out so quickly."
"Who says it's not. Thanks to our frequent visits, the relationship has been maintained. When something goes wrong, the Hou's Mansion will help. If it were another family, the six relatives would have long since denied the relationship, and the relationship has been wiped out."
Mrs. Zhang sighed with emotion.
After all, the Hou Mansion is still very humane.
Therefore, the people in the Gu family should also be courteous. Don't take the help from the Hou Mansion for granted. If you offend someone, next time others will not try their best to help you.
Mrs. Xie thanked her again, and discussed with Mrs. Zhang what gift to send to the Hou's mansion.
Before the two of them finished discussing, the girls came to the Furong Court together.
Gu Yue's face was full of smiles, his face was full of vigor, and his eyes were shining.
Mrs. Gu was released from prison safely, the happiest person is her.
"Greetings to mother and auntie. Mother, when will father come back? I miss my father."
Mrs. Xie said cheerfully, "Your father will be consecrating in the palace right now, and he will be back in the evening."
Gu Shan said: "Should I ask the kitchen to prepare two tables of banquets, and wait for my father to come back?"
Mrs. Xie nodded, "Prepare a few more tables. Our second room and the first room will have dinner together tonight. Sister-in-law, what do you think?"
The eldest wife, Mrs. Zhang, said with a smile: "How can I not give face to my brother and sister's invitation. Just prepare four tables of banquets, which is enough."
Mrs. Xie immediately asked Chunhe to go to the kitchen to prepare the banquet.
Chunhe took the order and left.
Gu Yue blushed, and asked excitedly: "Mother, over there at Haixibo Mansion..."
Xie's original good mood was instantly destroyed by Gu Yue's words.
She put away her smile and stared at Gu Yue indifferently.
Gu Yue was at a loss, not knowing what he did wrong again.
Mrs. Xie gave a "hmm" at first, and then said: "In two days, I will send someone to Haixibo Mansion to give the New Year gift."
If Haixibo House accepts the new year's gift, the marriage of the two families will naturally continue.
If the Haixibo House refuses the annual gift, then their marriage will be in trouble.
Although Gu Yue didn't understand why Mrs. Xie was unhappy, she still laughed happily when she heard that she was going to give a new year gift to Haixibo Mansion.
She smiled sweetly, "Thank you mother."
The eldest wife Zhang looked at this scene with a half-smile, but didn't make a sound.
The others, too, watched their eyes, their noses, their noses and their hearts, and did not speak.
Where Gu Yue was happy alone, she was full of thoughts that soon she would be able to marry Zhao Erlang as his wife.
Gu Jiu didn't go to Furong Courtyard, she sat in the study of Zhilan Courtyard and read a book.
Knowing that Mr. Gu was released, Gu Jiu nodded and muttered to himself that Liu Zhao really kept his word and moved fast enough.
Gu Jiu was also very curious, what method did Liu Zhao use to impress the empress and save Mrs. Gu
Or is it a drama in itself that the empress is targeting Mrs. Gu
Gu Jiu made random guesses, but if he couldn't think of an answer, he stopped thinking about it.
As the sky darkened, lanterns were hung at the gate of the Gu Mansion.
In just a few days, Mr. Gu fell into the dust from a high place, and returned from the dust.
It's like having a dream. After waking up from the dream, everything is the past.
Looking at the plaque on the gate, Mr. Gu couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion, and at the same time made a deep talk.
Just a few days is enough for Mr. Gu to understand many truths. The whole person, from body to mind, has been sublimated.
"Master, come in quickly. Everyone is waiting for you."
Master Gu nodded, stepped into the gate, stepped over the brazier, and took another bath to wash away the bad luck.
After that, he came to the flower hall.
The banquet is already on the table, and everyone is here, just waiting for Mr. Gu.
The old man stepped forward and patted Mr. Gu on the shoulder, "I'm finally back. It's good to be back."
Xie cried again, "Master!"
She looked at Master Gu eagerly.
Gu Jiu and the others also stood up and called out to their father.
The children of Dafang also stepped forward one after another to greet Mr. Gu.
Mr. Gu looked excited, and there seemed to be tears in his eyes, "Okay, everyone is fine. Sit down."
Elder Master pulled Mr. Gu to sit beside him and poured the wine himself, "Second Brother, come, let me toast you a glass. This time you turn bad luck into good fortune, which indicates that the future will be very prosperous. From now on, you will be rich and powerful."
"Brother, please give me a good word."
Master Gu picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.
Next, the atmosphere in the flower hall gradually became lively, and everyone said auspicious words.
Gu Jiu noticed that it was rare for Mr. Gu not to attend the banquet tonight.
No one mentioned Mr. Gu, everyone seemed to have forgotten about him.
Gu Jiu lowered her head and smiled, it doesn't really matter whether Mr. Gu is pretending to be absurd on purpose.
But is he pretending? In everyone's mind, he is just a ridiculous old man.
Gu Jiu picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
Gu Yue drank a lot of wine tonight, her face was flushed, but her eyes were shining, she looked very excited.
She pulled Gu Jiu to talk.
"Second sister, something happened to your father this time, and it's hard for you. It's a pity that the Luhou Mansion didn't propose at the right time. If you wait until the new year to propose marriage, it will be a different situation. Second sister, don't feel sad, there will definitely be more in the future. A better marriage."
Gu Jiu looked at Gu Yue with a half-smile, "Third Sister has a heart. You don't need to worry about my affairs, you just take care of yourself."
Gu Yue smiled and said: "Second sister, we are real sisters, you don't need to see me. Don't worry, when I marry in Haixibo Mansion in the future, your marriage will be covered by me. I will tell you something A suitable marriage."
Gu Jiu laughed mockingly, "Father and wife are still alive and well, when will it be your turn to worry about my marriage, third sister, and even said that it will be on your shoulders. Third sister, you are really big."
Pooh!
Gu Zhen, Gu Lin, and Gu Jun all laughed secretly.
Gu Yue blushed, this time she was ashamed.
She looked angry, "Second Sister, why are you doing this? I've shown my kindness, but you don't appreciate it, and you even made a mockery of me."
"Yes, I just don't appreciate it. So please don't worry about it in the future, third sister. I really don't need your kindness. "
Gu Jiu didn't show any sympathy.
Gu Yue snorted coldly, picked up the wine glass, and drank it in one gulp. Mad at her.
She thought secretly, with Gu Jiu's reputation as a sick child, even if she didn't work hard, Gu Jiu would not be able to talk about a good marriage.
Thinking of this, Gu Yue became happy again, and turned to talk to Gu Shan.
Gu Shan dealt with her patiently, listening to what Gu Yue said most of the time, and rarely speaking by herself.
A banquet, drinking until midnight.
Qingmei was lighting a lantern in front, "Miss, be careful."
Gu Jiu drank a little too much wine today, a little too much.
But she remained awake and her steps were steady.
When she returned to Zhilan Courtyard, she was paralyzed on the bed, unable to move.
A few maids were waiting for her to wash and change her clothes. Gu Jiu turned over and fell asleep with the quilt wrapped around her.
Qingzhu covered her mouth and smiled, "It's good that the girl doesn't make a fuss when she's drunk."
Xiao Cui nodded repeatedly, "Gu Jiu looks really good when he's drunk."
"Do you know what good-looking is? When a girl dresses up, that's the real good-looking."
This evening, everyone in the Gu residence was filled with joy.
Mrs. Xie was especially happy, Master Gu came back, and she had a backbone again.
Mr. Gu was lying on the bed, and Mrs. Xie personally wiped his face.
In the middle of wiping, Mr. Gu woke up, grabbed the hot towel, and wiped his face.
"The master is awake. The concubine has prepared sober soup, and the master will drink some."
Master Gu sat up from the bed and said, "Bring it here."
The servant girl brought the hangover soup, Mr. Gu took it with one hand, and drank it all in one gulp.
Wiping the corners of his mouth, he really cleared his mind.
Xie asked with concern: "Is the master feeling better?"
Master Gu nodded, patted the seat beside him, "You sit here."
Mrs. Xie smiled shyly, and sat down next to Master Gu.
The maids understood, and all consciously exited the bedroom.
Mr. Gu took Xie Shi's hand and said, "It's been hard for you these days."
Mrs. Xie shook her head, "I don't have to work hard. For the master, I don't even have to give up my own life."
Master Gu smiled with a meaningful smile, "I know what you mean. If there is an emergency, you don't have to. The children's marriage needs to be decided by the elders. If something happens to me and you are not here, what will the children do? "
Xie suddenly burst into tears, "Master?"
She thought of the torment of the previous few days, and her heart was in a panic.
Master Gu patted the back of her hand, "Okay, don't cry. I'm fine."
Mrs. Xie wiped away her tears, "My lord has returned to his post, I haven't congratulated you yet."
Mr. Gu laughed at himself, "There is nothing to congratulate. If I hadn't been sitting in that position, I wouldn't have suffered this disaster."
Xie was tongue-tied, not knowing what to say properly.
Lord Gu said again: "I heard that Xie Mao resigned?"
Mrs. Xie was nervous, she nodded and said, "On the second day after Master's accident, Eldest Brother submitted his resignation form, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince agreed. Now Eldest Brother is at home, reading books and listening to music every day."
Master Gu smiled sarcastically when he heard the words, "He's living a leisurely life. He plotted against me behind his back and wanted to get away with nothing. There's no such good thing in the world."
Mrs. Xie grabbed Mr. Gu's sleeve suddenly, "Master, is it true that elder brother hurt you? How could he have that ability?"
Master Gu smiled, "Madam also underestimates Xie Mao's ability. Not only does he have this ability, but he also wants to get out of his body and find a chance to recover after the matter subsides. With the prince's nostalgic character, if he recovers, at least Promoted to a higher level."
Mrs. Xie was flustered, her face was pale, "This, this, why did the eldest brother harm the master."
"Because he is Xie Mao, is that enough reason?" Master Gu stared at Xie Shi indifferently.
Xie was at a loss.
In a blink of an eye, Master Gu laughed again, "Okay, don't think about it too much. You don't need to worry about official affairs. You just need to manage the internal affairs well.
In addition, on the first day of the first lunar month, women in Beijing will go to the palace to congratulate them. You are ready to prepare. In the early morning of the new year, together with the Hou Mansion, bring the three children Xiaojiu, Yueer and Shaner into the palace. "
Xie was taken aback, "The concubine also wants to enter the palace to congratulate her?"
Master Gu nodded, "You are a married woman, you should go to the palace to congratulate me."
Mrs. Xie was nervous, she never expected that she could still enter the palace to congratulate her.
But soon, Mrs. Xie became happy again.
After so many years, I finally made it to today. God has eyes.
It doesn't matter if Su Shi is the original wife, now she is the one who enjoys the honor of husband and noble wife, not Su Shi.
Xie's ambition is full of ambitions, it seems that he has completely overwhelmed Su's head.
Who made Su Shi die so early.
Mrs. Xie asked, "Master, why did you bring three children with you?"
"This is the rule in the palace, you bring all three of them with you."
Xie Shi bit her lip, she was really unwilling to bring Gu Jiu into the palace.
"Master, Xiao Jiu is not in good health, what should I do if I enter the palace and bump into the nobleman?"
Master Gu looked at Mrs. Xie with a half-smile, "Madam still cares about Yue'er, to prevent Yue'er from getting into trouble in the palace. As for Xiao Jiu, don't worry about it. If you encounter something that you can't decide, listen to Xiao Jiu's advice." Opinions can't be wrong."
Xie was stunned.
The master asked her to listen to Gu Jiu's opinion, did she make a mistake
