Spring Girl's Notes

In a blink of an eye, it's March.

The Beijing capital in March is not like the misty rain and painting boats in the south of the Yangtze River, the bright and warm of light flowers and weak willows, it is still very cold.

A few days ago, the weather was warm, and the winter jasmine had just emerged. The light yellow flowers were soft and tender; a strong wind, the flowers fell like rain, and all withered.

Song Pan'er has been pregnant for more than four months, and her lower abdomen is slightly enlarged.

Her emotions were a little difficult to control, and with the weather, it also changed from hot to cold.

On the third day of March, Mu Qing and Zhu's mother made spring pancakes.

According to the rules of the capital, in the days before and after the third day of March, all prominent families and big households have spring banquets.

Song Paner's mother and daughter also received many invitations.

Many people's families are very high, and Song Pan'er feels that she can't climb up.They sent invitation cards because they heard that Gu Jinzhi and King Luyang were talking about marriage, and looked at the empress dowager behind Gu Jinzhi.

Song Pan'er likes the days in Yanling Mansion.Although we come and go, they are facing each other, and people will not look down on her or ask her deliberately.

Going with a purpose made Song Pan'er feel very uncomfortable. She refused many spring banquets on the pretext that she was not feeling well.

Just like on the day of the third day of junior high school, it was a banquet hosted by the eldest aunt, and the invitation was issued early in the morning.

Song Pan'er didn't go out for a month, but actually wanted to catch up with the fun.

It happened that it rained last night, and it was bitterly cold.

Gu Jinzhi said: "When my mother is pregnant, she is the most delicate. If she catches a cold, the medicine will not work well. Why don't you come to the door to apologize another day, and push it away."

Song Pan'er didn't go.

Mu Qing and Mama Zhu made spring pancakes with shallots and toon sprouts, and brought them up.

Song Pan'er and Gu Jinzhi's siblings called to their side.They ate cakes together, and asked someone to send a few yuan to the outer courtyard for the old man, the third master and the eighth young master.

The house rewarded by the Queen Mother is located in Yuanbao Hutong, next to Nanchang Palace and Luyang Palace.

These two mansions are just the places where the two princes stayed when they entered the palace. Apart from the housekeepers, the family has no family members, so it is actually very cold.

After the queen mother rewarded Gu Jinzhi, the people from the Ministry of Industry immediately changed the plaque.White marble is engraved with big black characters.The letter "Gu Zhai".

The house is cleverly designed.

There is a pond at the entrance, and a gazebo is built as a screen, which is different from other houses.There is a nine-curve corridor on the pond, bypassing the long corridor.It's a serious concierge.

There are two gatehouses on the left and right.High arches were erected.

Go around the arch.It is the outer courtyard of the Gu residence.

There are study rooms, guest rooms and wing rooms in the outer courtyard.

After moving here, his younger brother Gu Xiuzhi was sent to the outer courtyard by Song Pan'er.

In the inner courtyard, only Gu Jinzhi and Brother Xuan were Song Pan'er's companions.

In the past two days, Song Pan'er was looking for someone everywhere, and hired a gentleman to teach Brother Xuan and Brother Xiu to study.

It's a pity that Song Pan'er was not very satisfied with the gentleman recommended, so he kept procrastinating.

Brother Xiu is in the outer courtyard, studying with his father; brother Xuan is studying with Gu Jinzhi.

Song Pan'er bit the spring pancakes, and surrounded the stove to recall Jiangnan with everyone: "... During the Qingming Festival, renting a painting boat, swimming in the river, drinking wine, and listening to music is really a beautiful thing in the world. If I were a man, I wouldn't I'm thinking about studying, fortunately the third master can sit still."

Everyone who said it laughed.

Gu Jinzhi also took a bite of the spring pancakes, squinted his eyes, and recalled the spring in Yanling Mansion, where the grass was luxuriant, the peaches were red and the apricots were green.The wind blows on the face, warm and harmonious, like a pair of warm hands passing by.

As for the capital, it seems that there are no two seasons of spring and autumn. When it is cold and cold, it becomes hot; when it is hot, it suddenly becomes cold again.

"I don't know when Mother Song and the others will arrive." Song Pan'er sighed again.

Ever since she moved, Song Pan'er asked someone to deliver letters to Yanling Mansion immediately, and asked her natal sister-in-law, Mrs. Song, to help her. All the servants in the family, who she needed by name, would be sent to the capital.

The others still stay in the house, and they will go back after a year or so.

"Hurry up to deliver the letter, they can arrive in Yanling within a month, I'm afraid they have already received the letter." Gu Jinzhi said with a smile, "It's slower to go to Beijing by boat. Fortunately, spring is here now, so hurry up If it is, it can arrive in two months. Around the Dragon Boat Festival, it should be able to arrive, right?"

Song Pan'er nodded.

Now in her yard, the internal and external servants are very tight.

Where is the newly bought maid?

Besides Mu Qing, Song Pan'er also asked the eldest lady for two wives.

Shao Yao, Nian Lu, and Gu Jinzhi's nanny, Zhu Mama, used to be in charge of each yard.No matter how heavy the burden is, they don't do it by hand.

But the outer court soon lacked people.

Fortunately, Si Jian's boy is very clever, and the newly bought boy is handed over to him for treatment, and he will be able to serve him soon.

Song Pan'er liked Si Jian even more, and simply promoted him to be the third-class steward.

Si Jian is only 15 years old and is the youngest steward of the Gu family.

He thought it was Gu Jinzhi interceding, so he specially bought a new and clever plaything, and quietly sent it in to thank Gu Jinzhi.This made Gu Jinzhi dumbfounded, and asked Wei Rui to reward him with a purse of silver coins.

The spring rain was pattering outside, and the chill was everywhere.

After eating the spring pancakes, Gu Jinzhi and Brother Xuan still stayed in their mother's yard.

Brother Xuan's maid brought a book and gave it to Brother Xuan.

Gu Jinzhi lectured to him.

She spoke very bluntly, easily understood, but not very serious.

Song Pan'er laughed straight after hearing this: "If you go to take the exam for talents like this, you will be mad at the chief examiner first."

Gu Jinzhi smiled and said: "Brother Xuan will have a serious teacher to teach serious articles in the future. I just explain it and let him remember it. It will be easier to recite in the future."

Song Pan'er naturally knew, and still couldn't help laughing.

Looking at their siblings, Song Pan'er stroked her slightly raised belly again, feeling at ease and peaceful in her heart.

It was quiet all the time, except for Gu Jinzhi's soft voice from time to time.

Just when it was quiet, a voice was heard outside: "Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi!"

King Luyang is here.

Every time he came, he would rush in without waiting for the boy in the gatehouse to report.

He must have gone to Gu Jinzhi's side first, but when he found that he was not there, he rushed to Song Pan'er's side again.

Song Pan'er rushed out to greet her.

It was cold and rainy outside, and the drizzle was like weaving.

I saw King Luyang wearing a jade needle coir raincoat.Wearing a golden rattan hat and clogs, he walked as if flying to Song Pan'er's main courtyard.

The slanting wind and drizzle hit his smiling and joyful face, he was hazy and elegant and handsome, as if he came out of a figure painting.

Shao Yao and Nian Lu beside Song Pan'er were both pursing their lips and smiling, their faces were a little red.

King Luyang is very handsome, and even young girls like it.

Gu Jinzhi and Brother Xuan also put down their books and greeted him.

He has entered the main hall.

Song Pan'er was supported by the maid.Salute him.

He often runs to Gu's house.Gu Jinzhi told him many times that Song Pan'er was her mother, just like the Queen Mother was his mother.

King Luyang respected Song Pan'er very much and bowed to her.Call the third lady.

"...Xiaoqi. The queen mother announced me to enter the palace. You go with me." King Luyang said to Gu Jinzhi with a happy face.

He no longer held Gu Jinzhi's hand very much.Because Gu Jinzhi told him that it was not good.King Luyang smiled at her.She likes it more than pulling her hand.

So, Luyang Wang believed it was true, and then he stopped pushing her so much. He just tried his best to smile at her every time, and never cried again.

He is very obedient.

None of Gu Jin's later sons was as obedient as King Luyang.

"Okay." Gu Jinzhi smiled.

After Gu Jinzhi moved to this house, King Luyang also came out of the Qionglan Hall in the palace, and lived in Prince Luyang's mansion, where he was next to Gu Jinzhi.

Seeing that King Luyang's face was wet by the rain, and crystal drops of water fell on his eyebrows and eyelashes, she took the beater and wiped his face herself.

King Luyang smiled brightly.

All the maids in the room turned their heads away.

Song Pan'er wanted to say something, but she didn't say anything.

Gu Jinzhi went back to his yard, changed his clothes, and also put on a coir raincoat and bamboo hat.

Luyang Prince's Mansion sent a car, and it stopped at the gate of Gu's house.

Song Pan'er told her a few words, then let the servant girl take her out, and let the servant follow her, and accompanied Luyang King into the palace.

The weather is changeable, but the Empress Dowager is in good health, but she is lazy, lying on the Arhat bed in the sleeping hall, she just wants to see King Luyang.

How did he know that King Luyang brought Gu Jinzhi along.

The Queen Mother showed a loving smile.

"Queen mother, are you sleepy?" Seeing the queen mother lying down, King Luyang threw himself into her arms and asked.

The Empress Dowager half sat up, hugged him in her arms, stroked him lightly, and said with a smile: "Seeing Zhong Jun, the Empress Dowager will not be sleepy anymore."

Zhong Jun just laughed.

His smile is particularly beautiful, like the warm sun, which always puts the Queen Mother in a good mood.

When she was pregnant with him, the Empress Dowager was always in poor health and worried about the Six Palaces.How do you know that his stupidity is not caused by the Queen Mother not taking care of herself?

The queen mother always felt that she owed him something, and she loved him more than the emperor.

Then he beckoned to let Gu Jinzhi also sit by her bed.

Gu Jinzhi sat down as promised.

The Queen Mother asked how her family was doing.

"It's all good." Gu Jinzhi said with a smile.

The queen mother nodded and asked her old man again.

"It's still the same." Gu Jinzhi replied again, "Grandfather writes books every day, starts at five o'clock, and only rests at the beginning of his life. He works very hard. We can't persuade him..."

The queen mother sighed: "Your old man, no matter what he does, he always seeks the best. When he grows old, he still has this temper..."

While talking, Eunuch Chang hurried in to report that the emperor had arrived.

Together with Aunt Cheng, Gu Jinzhi helped the Queen Mother get up.

The emperor not only came by himself, but also brought two beautiful ladies with him.

After everyone saluted, the emperor joked to the two concubines beside him, "This is Miss Gu Qi, the genius doctor, my future sister-in-law."

After hearing the emperor's words, the two concubines looked at Gu Jinzhi with burning eyes.

Of the two of them, the tall and slender one was Tan Guifei, the younger sister of the former empress.It is said that she and the first queen are twins, and they look exactly alike.

The other one is Concubine Zhang.She came from Hangzhou, a beauty from the south of the Yangtze River, and she was soft and petite.She is about seventeen or eighteen years old, her eyes are full of water, and when she moves her eyes, she seems to be able to catch people's hearts and make people's hearts itch.

"...The concubine has been feeling a little uncomfortable for the past few days." Concubine Tan said with a smile, "Do you want to show the concubine Gu Miracle Doctor?"

She also followed the emperor's joking words to Gu Jin.

The Queen Mother here, she dares to joke, which shows that the Queen Mother always likes her.
