The newcomer pays homage and is then sent to the bridal chamber.
Gu Jiu joined in the fun and went to the new house to watch the ceremony.
When she lifted the hijab, she saw the face of the bride. She looks gorgeous with bridal makeup.
The corners of Gu Cheng's eyebrows and eyes were full of joy, obviously very satisfied with this marriage and the bride.
After the two of them drank the wine, someone took Gu Teng out to drink.
The groom must be drunk today.
The young lady Zhang introduced the present to the bride.
The bride nodded one by one, smiling.
When Gu Yue was introduced, the bride's expression was as usual, but she just took a second look.
Gu Yue felt angry, what does it mean for the bride to look at her more? Just because she is a widow, do you want to treat her differently
The bride, Mrs. Hu, didn't know that she just looked at Gu Yue twice, and she was hated by Gu Yue.
She was just curious about Gu Yue.
After all, there are too many rumors about Gu Yue, and most of them are not good rumors.
After recognizing the relatives, Gu Jiu left the wing.
Gu Shan thumped her shoulders and walked together with Gu Jiu.
"Is the fourth sister exhausted?"
Gu Shan nodded, "I got up before dawn to help with the cooking, and I haven't had a sip of hot tea until now. This is the first time I know how tiring it is to hold a wedding reception."
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "Fourth sister will eat more later, and reward her."
Gu Shan hummed, not very interested.
Gu Jiu calmly glanced at Gu Yue who was behind her. Could it be that Gu Shan and Gu Yue had another conflict
She didn't ask any questions, and went straight to the flower hall to have a banquet.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Mrs. Xie brought the two sisters, Gu Yue and Gu Shan, toasted the wives and wives, and promoted their daughters by the way.
Gu Shan felt a little ashamed and looked very embarrassed.
Gu Yue was generous and let others judge her.
I have to admit that Gu Yue has matured and is more than a hundred times more stable than before.
In the past, Gu Yue wrote all his thoughts on his face, and his emotions were clear at a glance.
Today's Gu Yue doesn't show his emotions and anger, and always looks dignified and polite in front of people.
Gu Lin whispered to Gu Jiu, "Third Sister is really good at pretending."
Gu Jiu laughed, "How do you know she's just pretending? After going through so many things, she has matured."
Gu Lin whispered: "I saw with my own eyes that the third sister was kind in front of others, but disgusted by her queen. I was shocked."
"You didn't provoke her, did you?"
Gu Jiu was a little worried about Gu Lin, worried that she would accidentally provoke Gu Yue.
Gu Lin was not Gu Yue's opponent at all, so it would be unlucky to provoke Gu Yue.
Gu Lin said: "I was very careful not to let the third sister find out. Before the third sister came back, the wife had been handling the fourth sister's marriage, and took the fourth sister out to see her several times. When the third sister came back, the wife left The fourth sister's marriage was decided, and the third sister's marriage was started. The fourth sister was very angry because of this."
Gu Jiu didn't even know what to say about Mrs. Xie.
She seemed to use her favor as a bargaining chip, rather than a mother's concern for her children, in order to blackmail the two daughters.
She pampers whoever is obedient, and neglects whoever is disobedient.
As a result, the two daughters turned against each other and were full of complaints.
Mrs. Xie really likes to be clever when dealing with things.
Before she went on a blind date for Gu Shan, even if Gu Yue came back, she should continue to take care of Gu Shan's marriage.
As for Gu Yue, she is married for the second time, so it doesn't matter if she is a year or two late, it won't delay things.
Gu Shan is from a girl's family, and seeing that she is about to grow old, the marriage must not be delayed.
As a result, Mrs. Xie actually put aside Gu Shan's marriage and turned to take care of Gu Yue's marriage.
Just because she felt sorry for Gu Yue's widowhood.
Gu Jiu didn't even know what to say about Mrs. Xie. A person who seems to be shrewd and powerful on weekdays is blinded by emotions time and time again, swinging back and forth between the two daughters-in-law, with no position to speak of.
Gu Jiu picked up the wine glass and took a sip, reminding Gu Lin: "Don't meddle in their affairs, remember to be wise and protect yourself."
"Thank you, Second Sister, for reminding me, I know."
Gu Lin couldn't protect herself, and she didn't have the confidence to get involved in the fight between Gu Yue and Gu Shan.
After toasting, Gu Shan returned to her seat, while Gu Yue continued to follow Xie Shi to seize every opportunity to show her face.
Gu Jiu looked at Gu Shan, "Fourth sister, drink some tea to calm down."
Gu Shan smiled wryly, picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp.
"Second sister, you're still welcome. As a big sister, you know that you care about us as a sister. Unlike someone who just wants to snatch everything from us, and wishes to give us half a way to survive." Gu Shan complained .
Gu Jiu filled her teacup with water and said, "Calm down, there must be a way for the car to reach the mountain."
Gu Shan shook her head, "I'm not as well-bred as my second sister, and I was almost pissed off by her. I really don't know what ecstasy soup she poured into my mother, and now my mother's heart is all on her.
I just can't figure it out, she set fire to murder and committed all kinds of crimes, can a man be forgiven just because she died at a young age? Mother also always said that she had suffered a lot in Haisib Mansion, and she should be sympathetic to her difficulties. But who will understand my difficulties? "
When Gu Shan talked about her sadness, tears rolled down her face.
Gu Jiu quickly took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears.
"Today is Sixth Brother's happy day. You can't cry, just wipe away your tears. When the new sister-in-law comes in, the wife can't spare the energy to manage your marriage, so let the new sister-in-law find a way for you."
Gu Shan was stunned, "Is the new sister-in-law really capable?"
Gu Jiu said softly: "Don't forget that the father of the new sister-in-law's family is the servant of the Ministry of Rites. He has a list of previous imperial examination candidates in his hand. The new sister-in-law is willing to help, so you have nothing to worry about."
"I'm worried that my new sister-in-law won't meddle in my affairs."
"Not always."
Gu Jiu has inquired about the new bride, Hu Shi, who helped the housekeeper when she was in her natal family, and is a person with her own opinions.
When she married into the Gu family, she must find a way to divide the power in Bo Xie's hands and control the second house from top to bottom.
Gu Shan asked her for help, which was tantamount to sending the opportunity of seizing power to the Hu family.
As long as Mrs. Hu is not stupid, she will not reject Gu Shan. Not only will she not refuse, but she will also try her best to help Gu Shan find a good marriage, and use this as an opportunity to win power from the Xie family.
Gu Shan didn't think so deeply, she regarded the Hu family as a way out. If it doesn't work, she will go to Mrs. Hu for help.
Gu Jiu comforted her again, "Don't think so much, everything will be fine."
After the banquet, Gu Jiu went to visit the old man and check his body.
The old man is an alcoholic and has severe alcohol dependence.
Alcohol was eating away at his body bit by bit.
Gu Jiu took the pulse and frowned, "The old man should take care of his health anyway, and drink less alcohol. The prescription I prescribed for you, you have to take it consistently, you can't spend three days fishing and two days drying the net, just take the medicine when you think about it, don't think about it." Do not take medicine when you wake up.
Also, the old man should not stay in the room all day, he should go out and walk around when he is free, to exercise his muscles and bones. "
Mr. Gu said with distaste, "Oh, you're nagging even more when you're married. How can Young Master Zhao stand up to your nagging."
Gu Jiu rolled his eyes, "Don't change the subject, old man, have you remembered everything I told you? If you want to live a few more years, you have to do what I say."
"What are you doing for so many years? This old man has already lived enough, and now every day he lives is earned."
Gu Jiu smiled and asked, "Don't the old man want to hug his great-grandson?"
"What kind of great-grandchildren are you holding? All of them are very disgusting. They are all unfilial sons and idiots. The old man is not happy to see them."
When Mr. Gu talked about future generations, he hated it from the bottom of his heart.
Gu Jiu smiled, picked up a pen, and wrote a new prescription for hangover.
It is impossible to expect the old man to hangover, why not think about how to take care of his body.
Old Master Gu stared at her, "Li Zhaoyi gave birth to a little prince, so King Ning's life will be difficult."
Gu Jiu smiled and said: "The old man never leaves home, but he knows the world's affairs."
Mr. Gu snorted, "You can imagine this kind of thing with your toes. No one knows your majesty's temper better than this old man. I guessed that your majesty is afraid."
"afraid?"
It was the first time Gu Jiu heard this kind of statement, it was very novel.
"Your Majesty is rich all over the world, and the wrath of the emperor has laid down millions of corpses. How can he be afraid?"
Mr. Gu waved his hands again and again, "He is really afraid from the bottom of his heart. He is afraid that he will grow old day by day and have the title of emperor, but he will not be able to control the court or the world.
He was afraid that the adult princes would be strong and form cliques for personal gain, and they would take him out of the picture. I'm even more afraid that a certain prince will be bold and overthrow him in one fell swoop.
Do you know what he saw when he was sitting on the dragon chair facing the grown prince? "
Gu Jiu shook his head.
Mr. Gu said loudly, "He saw the threat."
Gu Jiu asked, "Is there nothing else other than threats?"
"Of course there are only threats. That's why he has to make more troubles while he can still move. He loves the little prince as much as he is afraid. Because the little prince is the only person who will not hurt him, the only one who can make him feel at ease." people."
Hearing this, Gu Jiu was thoughtful.
"I thought His Majesty hated grown-up princes and their scramble for power and wealth. But I never thought that Your Majesty might be afraid."
Mr. Gu stroked his beard and said, "Of course he is afraid. He is not young anymore, and his body is aging day by day. The princes are watching and can't wait to replace him. Let me ask, who is not afraid?"
Gu Jiu shook her head, "The throne makes everyone crazy."
Old Master Gu reminded: "Prince Ning's situation is not good, and even Mr. Zhao will suffer along with him. As Mrs. Zhao, you have to be careful."
Gu Jiu nodded, and then asked: "How many years does the old man think His Majesty can last?"
Old Master Gu looked in the direction of the palace, "I'm not sure about this question. I heard that King Ning sent a woman to His Majesty?"
"yes!"
"Prince Ning can't wait to hollow out His Majesty's body."
"Your Majesty regards adult princes as enemies, and the princes will naturally not sit still and wait for death."
Mr. Gu shook his head and sighed, "Now that I think about it, the most dangerous thing is the son's edict."
Gu Jiu's heart turned cold, and he thought of the key point, "Liu Zhao is currently working in the Beijing camp, he, he probably can't."
Rebelling with the little troops at hand is simply a dream.
Liu Zhao is not that confused, so he probably wouldn't really raise troops to rebel and hit a stone with an egg.
Mr. Gu reminded her: "Don't forget the Pei family."
"Granddaughter dare not forget the Pei family. However, from the standpoint of Marquis Lu, he will not easily raise troops to help King Ning ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor. And when His Majesty's deadline is approaching, he will definitely give Marquis Lu a decree to suppress Lu to the greatest extent. Hou died trapped in the northwest, and Lu Hou is not allowed to participate in the battle for the succession of the capital. Unless Lu Hou wants to be a traitor."
Old Master Gu didn't say much, but just reminded her: "You should pay more attention to the movement of Young Master Zhao. You say he is in the Beijing camp, but he may not really be in the Beijing camp."
Gu Jiu was confused, "Old man, don't scare me."
Old Master Gu laughed, "I can't scare you. If Prince Ning and his son really planned for the worst, then you should have planned for the worst."
Gu Jiu nodded, "Thank you for reminding me, old man, I, I will keep an eye on Liu Zhao."
She still didn't believe it, and Liu Zhao left the capital camp.
Such a big man, such an eye-catching target, if he took someone out of the Beijing camp privately, wouldn't anyone in the camp notice it
The King of Chu has been staring at Liu Zhao. If Liu Zhao dared to leave the capital privately, the King of Chu would definitely go to the palace to complain immediately.
Gu Jiu said goodbye to Mr. Gu with something on his mind.
Next, she was going to visit Luo Fuzi.
Because of his serious illness, Luo Fuzi was afraid of getting sick, so he moved out of the Hou's mansion and lived in a small courtyard in the back alley.
The Hou Mansion arranged for two little servant girls to wait on them.
Gu Jiu came to the door and knocked, but no one answered for a long time.
Is there no one here
Qingmei pushed the door hard, and the door opened.
The gate was not locked at all.
The yard was quiet, and no one could be seen.
Coughing came from the bedroom.
Gu Jiu took three steps in parallel and hurried into the bedroom.
Lifting the door curtain, the bedroom has an unpleasant smell.
"Mr. Luo?"
When Gu Jiu walked in, she couldn't believe that the thin and elegant woman back then had become skinny, her face was sallow, and her hair was disheveled.
There is a foul smell on the body, obviously it has not been washed for a long time.
"How could this be? Didn't the Hou Mansion send someone to take care of the Master?"
Luo Fuzi looked at Gu Jiu and recognized it after a while, "It's Xiao Jiu, sit down quickly."
Gu Jiu held Luo Fuzi's wrist and took the opportunity to check his pulse.
Qingmei led the people, opened the windows to let in air, and cleaned up the filth in the bedroom.
Luo Fuzi had caught a cold at first, but later he developed a cough.
After taking the medicine, the cough has not improved, but the condition is getting worse and worse.
After moving out of the Hou's mansion, the little maid will serve her attentively at first. After a long time, no one came to visit Luo Fuzi, and the little maid also became negligent.
Luo Fuzi became ill like this, partly because of his weak body and wrong medicine. Half are angry.
After Gu Jiu's pulse diagnosis, he said to Luo Fuzi: "Don't worry, master, I will definitely cure your illness, and I won't let you suffer like this again."
Luo Fuzi smiled, and finally there was light in his eyes.
"Tired you to visit me, this place is filthy, how can you easily set foot on it."
"Master, why bother with me. When I was in my mother's house, I was always grateful for my master's teaching. I just didn't expect that my master was abused by two little maids. I will not let this matter go. I will definitely report to the old lady." , Madam please punish those two servant girls severely."
"Why do you do this. I am a useless person now. I am already grateful that the Hou Mansion is willing to spend money to support me. How can I cause trouble for the Hou Mansion because of my affairs?"
"But someone said nonsense in front of Master?"
Luo Fuzi shook his head, "I know my body well. In my current state, I am satisfied to have a tile to cover my body. I don't want to bother the Hou Mansion, and I don't want to be looked down upon by others. Xiao Jiu, please respect me." My thoughts, let me fend for myself."
"Master, why do you think so? If ants are stealing their lives, Master should cheer up. Master, don't worry, I won't disturb the Hou Mansion. I will send another person to take care of my diet and daily life. I promise not to let Master suffer any grievances."
"Why are you bothering? Why do you have to worry about me. I'm already very happy that you can visit me. I've lived enough in this life, so I might as well take this opportunity to end it. "
Luo Fuzi had been ill for such a long time, and he was so depressed that he already had the idea of committing suicide.
Gu Jiu knew that Luo Fuzi was not someone who could be persuaded to come back with a few casual words.
She didn't continue to persuade, but ordered someone to boil hot water to wash Luo Fuzi's body.
She went outside and took a pen to write down the prescription.
Give the prescription to Xiao Huangmen, "Go to the pharmacy to find Er Zhuang, and tell him to take the medicine according to the prescription. From now on, send someone to decoct the medicine every day, and serve the master to take the medicine. In addition, find one or two honest, busy and loyal women to take care of the master. If there is any negligence, tell the mother-in-law, not only will my wife not pay the wages, but she will spit out all the money instead."
The reason why Gu Jiu didn't send someone from the palace to serve him was mainly because he was afraid that the slave would bully the master and make Luo Fuzi feel wronged.
With Mr. Luo's character, even if he was wronged, he would not complain in front of her.
It's better to hire people from outside, settle wages on a monthly basis, and be supervised by Er Zhuang.
If it doesn't fit, just replace it. In this way, a lot of trouble is saved.
