Yuwen was speechless, "I have no friendship with her, so where did she get into this trouble?"
Zhulan also couldn't understand the little girl's heart, especially the arrogant little girl, so she asked, "Are you going?"
Yuwen looked at the snowflakes outside the window and said, "My granddaughter is not crazy."
She doesn't care what Wen Ling wants to say, she doesn't want to hear it, and she won't let herself suffer for irrelevant people. How comfortable is it to sleep in the bedroom and eat snacks
Zhulan, "Then can you bring me the post?"
Yuwen, "My granddaughter heard that Mr. Gu thanked his uncle for taking care of him and sent him a new year gift?"
Zhulan thought that Yuwen was no longer interested in Gu Sheng. Since the last time she talked with her granddaughter, her granddaughter never mentioned Gu Sheng again, so she let it go. Unexpectedly, Yuwen mentioned Gu Sheng again, "Tell grandma. , what are you thinking?"
Yuwen blinked, "I want to live a leisurely life."
Her thoughts have not changed. With the title, she has more confidence.
Zhulan said, "Master Gu is not young anymore."
Zhuo Guyu had a purpose, so he would wait for Yuwen to get the hairpin, but Gu Sheng would not. They were expected to get married after spring next year. She heard from her son that an official was asking about Gu Sheng, and he obviously fell in love with him.
Yuwen's smile did not change, "Grandma, I'm still young."
Zhulan couldn't figure out her granddaughter's thoughts, so Yuwen stood up and said, "Grandma, I'm going to see my little uncle."
Bamboo orchid, "... .."
In the palace, Zhou Shuren held the list and felt very complicated, "Your Majesty, is this list for An He?"
There are not only young men from the capital, but also families from various states, there are quite a few, slowly one piece of paper.
Your Majesty, "You are overthinking this. This is what I chose for Zhenyue."
Zhou Shuren exhaled. He really didn't like being a matchmaker in the royal family. She just wanted peace and harmony. He said in a surprised tone, "Didn't the emperor say that he would keep the princess for a few more years?"
How long ago did you change your mind
Your Majesty, "Some people have been saying to me recently that it's time for Zhenyue to get engaged at her age. I have thought about two things: getting married and getting engaged. I can get engaged first, as long as I get married a few years later."
He was so moved that he was afraid that the good man would be chosen away, and he would not be able to choose the best one for his daughter. This was not okay.
Zhou Shuren said at a loss for words, "Why did the emperor show me the list?"
He didn't want to pick the rest for his granddaughter. Besides, the men on the list all had good family backgrounds. Not only that, they were also from families with prosperous heirs, which meant trouble.
The emperor was very sincere this time, "I don't believe what they say, I believe what you think."
Zhou Shuren thought to himself that the emperor disliked some people's selfish motives. He did not want to continue to rely on the royal family. The evaluation was indeed fair, "There are people on the list who will participate in next spring."
The emperor has investigated and found that the people attending the Spring Festival are all the youngest in the family and do not need to bear family responsibilities. "Yes."
Zhou Shuren was familiar with several young masters in the capital, but not so well with the aristocratic families in various states. He did not comment on the young masters, but focused on the back house. Which old lady had a strong desire to control, and whose back house had more fights.
The emperor was a little lost in thought, "Are you still paying attention to this?"
Zhou Shuren, "My daughter-in-law has agreed that the relationship between mother-in-law and mother-in-law will lead to a better life in the future."
The emperor was confident that no one would dare to embarrass his daughter, but he could avoid trouble and avoid it well, so he crossed out a few names with a pen.
Zhou Shuren is really confused inside. The emperor really trusts him and is not afraid of his nonsense!
Zhou Shuren was not surprised that the emperor did not consider students from poor families. This was not a drama, and not everyone could be the consort. Thinking of the list, he felt mixed. Even if the emperor was good to his daughter, the princess's marriage was still tainted with calculations.
In Zhouhou Mansion, Zhulan didn’t see anyone from the Duke’s Mansion, so she asked Qingxue, “They haven’t left yet?”
Qingxue shook her head, "I haven't left yet."
Zhulan was not happy. Giving New Year's gifts was a matter of favor. Zhouhou's Mansion and the Duke's Mansion had no friendship, so a sudden visit to give New Year's gifts was very annoying.
Seeing that the old lady looked unhappy, Qingxue went out to explain.
At the door of the Marquis's Mansion, the steward of the Duke's Mansion looked at the closed door and rubbed his hands that were red from the cold. The Duke of Zhou's Mansion did not give him any face.
The small door of the Hou Mansion opened, and Butler Ding came out with a cold look on his face, "Stop blocking the door of the Hou Mansion, please come back."
The steward of the Duke's Mansion said, "This is the sincerity of our Duke's Mansion. Please help."
As he was about to hand over the purse, Butler Ding took a step back and said, "If you don't leave, it will be ugly. It's my fault for being rude."
The steward of the Duke's Mansion had a stiff expression. He couldn't believe that the Zhou Hou Mansion didn't give him any face. He looked at the door that was closed again and said with a burning face, "Let's go back."
Today the Duke's Mansion has lost its master.
Zhou Shuren heard about it when he returned home from the palace, "It's a good idea."
This was a gift while he was away at the house. As long as the daughter-in-law let the people into the Marquis's Mansion, the Duke's Mansion could reconcile with the Zhou Hou's Mansion. However, he didn't expect that the daughter-in-law would block the people outside the house.
Zhulan said, "Humph, you are treating me as a short-sighted person."
"I'll see how long they can keep going."
Zhulan asked, "You are already resting and I invite you into the palace. What happened?"
Zhou Shuren told the story of the eldest princess's marriage, and Zhulan became worried, "Will the emperor interfere with Linxi's marriage?"
Zhou Shuren said, "Rong Chuan will not agree."
Zhulan felt a lot more at ease, "That's good."
The New Year is here in a blink of an eye. Eight years of prosperity have passed smoothly. After the new year, we have entered the ninth year of prosperity. The big event after the new year is spring.
It's the first lunar month, the weather is still cold, the wind is biting, and the day of spring has been postponed.
It was a good thing that spring was postponed. It gave me a lot of extra days to read. As spring approached, the capital became quieter, and no one could be seen in the bustling teahouse.
On this day, Zhulan was sorting out Zhuangzi's account books. Qingxue came in and said, "Old madam, there is Mr. Gu outside the door asking to see you."
Zhulan closed the account book and said, "Please come in and send someone to ask for Chang Zhong."
Qingxue went out, and Chang Zhong came over first, "Mother, did you hear that Mr. Gu asked for an audience?"
Zhulan, "I should be here to find you."
While they were talking, someone had already come in. Zhulan saw that it was not Gu Sheng. This person was walking with a slight limp. He was Gu Sheng's eldest brother.
Chang Zhong did not receive the courtesy from Gu Yan, so he quickly asked, "Why did Mr. Gu come to the Hou Mansion?"
Gu Yan's face was anxious, "I really have no choice, so I came to the Hou Mansion rashly and asked the young master to save my brother."
Chang Zhong was shocked, "What happened to Gu Sheng?"
Because of Chunwei, he hadn't seen Gu Sheng for a long time. Shouldn't Gu Sheng prepare for the exam well
Gu Yan said, "My brother is sick. We have looked for a doctor but can't find a cure. I really can't do anything, so I have the courage to beg you."
He felt powerless and powerless. He really had no choice but to see two or three doctors, but nothing improved.
Changzhong looked at his mother, saw her nodding, and then stood up, "I'll send someone to ask for the doctor."
Gu Yan thanked him profusely, "Thank you, madam, thank you, sir."
He could see clearly that the old lady nodded.
Chang Zhong pulled up Gu Yan, who was kneeling down again, "Let's go take a look first. The doctor will arrive soon."
Gu Yan's eyes were all red, "Okay, thank you, madam, for your kindness, and thank you, sir."
Zhulan waited for her son to take the people away and said to Qingxue: "Do you think it was an accident? Or man-made?"
