Spring Girl's Notes

The emperor granted Gu Wanzhi the title of Concubine Virtue, and rewarded Gu Yantao severely.

The Marquis Xiping he conferred not only has a title, which is hereditary forever, but also ordered to bestow 500 taels of gold, three thousand fertile land, and one thousand households in the city.

Since the founding of this dynasty, such rewards have been given to famous generals who have made great achievements in battles.

In the hands of the first emperor, only five were sealed.

The emperor's succession to the throne was short, and Gu Yantao was the first to be granted the title of Marquis.

There was an uproar in Beijing.

The emperor also granted him a huge and beautiful garden.

Zhu Zhongjun said to Gu Jinzhi: "...if he can know how to reject that garden, he will still be saved. Otherwise, your family should really find a way out."

Why didn't Gu Jinzhi know?

But the uncle is strong and cruel, except for the auntie, everyone in the family doesn't believe him, so what if he knows?

Persuasion is not daring, moreover, it cannot be persuaded.

All I could do was watch him jump into the fire pit and bring his brothers and relatives into it by the way.

As a result, the next day, Gu Yantao wrote a letter, resigned Yuanzi, and only accepted the reward.

Zhu Zhongjun smiled and said, "It's still saved! You can rest assured first."

Gu Jinzhi smiled.

At Cheng Guogong's mansion, Gu Yantao went back to the inner courtyard to talk to the eldest lady: "Mr. Luo asked me to turn down the garden, and I was reluctant at first. But the emperor is really happy. Mr. Luo is very knowledgeable!"

Mr. Luo's name is Luo Quan, and he is Gu Yantao's disciple.

Luo Quan is a talented scholar at the age of 15.

The family is poor, and there is an old mother.

After that, he never went to study again.Instead, he taught in the countryside and earned some money to support himself and his mother.

Because of his filial piety, everyone in the township knew him, so he was recommended to the county as a teacher.The teacher of the county yamen originally wanted to give his wife and brother the position of mentoring.Because Luo Quan took the name of the county magistrate's wife and younger brother, the master was not convinced, so he asked someone to secretly hide Luo Quan's school seal.

The county government lost its seal. This is a very serious matter and you will be imprisoned.

Luo Quan doesn't want to go to jail, he still has a mother to support.He fled from Jiangnan to the capital.Met Gu Yantao.

Although Gu Yantao treats political opponents viciously, he likes to support scholars.Whoever is knowledgeable, he likes to be kept under the door.

It cost a lot of money to keep a nurse, which was one of the reasons why he was always in a pinch.

I don't know whether he admires learning.Or fill in the facade.

Before Luo Quan met Gu Yantao.I fled for seven or eight years.

In fact, no one is chasing him anymore.He is a mentor.For an unqualified official, who has the leisure to arrest him and put him in jail?Just run away.

Luo Quan has always loved reading during the days when he was wandering around.Having seen different things again, the experience is far beyond what those nerds can match.

And his reading articles are solid and beautiful.

He has deep experience, can analyze his speech to the bone, and is full of poems and books, citing classics and allusions.

Gu Yantao believed Luo Quan's words very much.

The lady also smiled and said: "I also think what Mr. Luo said is reasonable. I have never read the books of sages, and I don't know much about the truth. It's just that the tall tree attracts the wind, and the moon is full. When suffering."

Gu Yantao nodded.

He thought to himself, if this is the Ye family from the second room and the Song family from the third room, I'm afraid they don't have such insight.Seeing the yard let out, I must grumble.

The eldest lady is really the most virtuous.

The more Gu Yantao looked at it, the more satisfied he became.

On the side of the first room, not only the title was granted, but also the husband and wife were in harmony. It was a happy time, but the second room was like a bolt from the blue.

The second master originally didn't expect the sixth girl to have a great future when she enters the palace, after all, the sixth girl's appearance is really not outstanding, and being able to be named a fourth-rank nobleman is also the virtue of her ancestors.

As a father, it is also the greatest grace for the second master to be named a general of the country.

At first, he was very calm and didn't have much extravagant expectations. It was the second wife's non-stop chatter and fantasies that also aroused the desire in the second master's heart.

If he can really be knighted, he will walk with dignity in the future.

But now that the reward has come down, there is nothing wrong with the Second Household, and the Second Master also feels quite ashamed.

He hid in the outer study in embarrassment, and then simply hid outside to drink flower wine.

The second wife is not as good as the second master.

She is mad.

Her forehead was wrapped around her head, and she was so sick that she had no strength at all, and she couldn't even swear.

"... After giving birth to her, it was a waste of time to fetch water from a bamboo basket! How can she have any conscience after all the hardships?" The second lady cried, "Her parents are ashamed of stepping on low hoofs every time, and she has no conscience at all!" What's the glory?"

In the palace, others would not ask about the concubine's parents, but only about her family.

The emperor bestowed rewards on the head of the Gu family, which was the one who really praised Gu Wanzhi.

Where does the second lady understand this truth?

Ever since the sixth girl entered the palace, she began to have sweet dreams, fantasizing over and over again that she would gain power in the future and go public in front of Song Pan'er. Seeing Song Pan'er's face that dared not speak out, she felt extremely refreshed.

The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. The second wife seemed to fall from a high place.

She was completely broken.

It wasn't the second wife who collapsed the most, but the fifth girl, Gu Pozhi.

When the news came back that Gu Wanzhi had sealed the second-ranked concubine, she was so angry that she spat out blood.

He vomited blood at a young age, and his life was not long. The servants in the house were frightened, and they didn't dare to tell the second wife, because the second wife couldn't get angry.

Not to mention telling the eldest lady.The fifth girl was picked up secretly by the second master. The eldest lady opened her eyes and closed her eyes, happy to show her kindness.Now that Baba is going to tell her, isn't it telling the eldest lady to start a family law again?

Fifth girl choked her neck and cried all night.

Jingyuan and Zhuifang Pavilion were close, and the second lady herself was not going well, and when she heard the second girl crying, she immediately called someone to tell her to shut up.

The fifth girl scolded the second wife for being useless, instead of fighting for her, she let the sixth girl take what she deserved.

The mother and daughter also turned against each other.

The fourth girl hid with the third brother and the third sister-in-law,

The third young master Gu Qingzhi is also the biological son of the second master.Although he doesn't like his stepmother Ye Shi and the second master very much, he loves the honest and innocent fourth sister very much.

The third grandmother, Xia Shi, is Xia Shoufu's little granddaughter, who was brought up by a famous family.He reveals a bit of family integrity.Seeing her husband kissing her sister-in-law, she was also very affectionate to the fourth girl.

The fourth girl simply stayed with the third grandmother all day long.

The two of them were doing needlework together, and occasionally went to see sister Xi, the eldest daughter.

They also turned a deaf ear to the noise from the second room.

The eldest lady even pretended not to hear.

Taking advantage of other girls, why are they not allowed to cry?

What's the use of crying?

The marquis and the imperial order were not asked by the elder, but directly given by the emperor.Although the eldest lady could tolerate the noise from the second bedroom, she didn't feel that she owed them.

The eldest lady just strictly forbids the family members to spread it.

But Song Pan'er knew that there must be a joke.

But she was pregnant with a child, so she didn't have time to inquire about the affairs of the first and second bedroom.

It's just that the big house is so tight.He also rejected the garden rewarded by the emperor.Song Pan'er was surprised by this.

She said to Gu Jinzhi: "Your uncle has been ill for a while, has he changed his temper?"

It is difficult to change one's temper, but it is true to have expert advice around you.

On the tenth day of May, Song Pan'er received a letter from Mrs. Song of Yanling Mansion.Said that the entrusted matter has been done.

The Song family sent several strong men.Send thirty or so servants from the Gu family to Beijing.I will be able to arrive in the capital by the end of May at the latest.

Song Pan'er liked it.

She said to Mu Qing, Shao Yao and Nian Lu: "When Mama Song and Haitang come, you will have less work."

Shao Yao and Nian Lu hurriedly said yes, with joy on their faces.

They also miss those sisters in Yanling Mansion.

Mu Qing also laughed.

Shao Yao glanced at her.

Ever since Mu Qing came to the house.As soon as she came to be favored, Shaoyao felt very unhappy, and always murmured to Nianlu: "She must be sent by the Da Furen. If there is anything going on with us, she must tell the Da Furen to know. Let's act carefully, don't worry about it. Tell that hoof to laugh at us."

Nian Lu didn't think much about it, she said yes with a smile, and didn't dare to refute Shao Yao.

Now that Haitang, Mother Song, and Aofu are all coming, Mu Qing's position will definitely be squeezed out.

Peony is very happy.

Nianlu doesn't matter.

After dinner at night, Gu Jinzhi went back to the yard, and Zhu Zhongjun followed her every step of the way.

Gu Jinzhi asked him what he was doing, and he said, "I'm a fool. If I don't follow you, I'll get lost."

Gu Jinzhi was furious to death.

He seems to enjoy being a fool, and the more he plays it, the more he plays it.

Gu Jinzhi couldn't hold back against him, so he had to take him back to his yard.

She told Mother Zhu, Wei Rui, and You He: "A letter came from Yanling Mansion, saying that the family members will be arriving this month, and more than 30 people will be sent up. I specifically told them to ask for Nishang and Zhilei."

I wish my mother and others all laughed.

Youhe breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Nishang loves to be troublesome and splashy. When she comes, we are relieved. These little girls newly bought in this house, we and my mother can't handle them, and they are all naughty and exquisite. You can't beat them, you can't scold them either. Wait for Nishang to clean them up."

Then he smiled at a little girl serving tea beside him and said, "Your good days are over."

The little maid was not afraid of You He, giggled, and went out again, not taking what You He said to heart.

I wish my mother and Wei Rui just laughed.

Zhu Zhongjun also laughed foolishly.

The people in their yard were just that stupid prince, and they didn't see outsiders.

Zhu Zhongjun sat for a while, and Gu Jinzhi asked Wei Rui to send him out of the corner door to sleep in the outer courtyard wing.

Wei Rui took several little maids and a rough envoy, and took Zhu Zhongjun out with a bright horned palace lantern.

When she came back, she looked at the sky so early, and remembered the last time she asked Nianlu next to Madam how she should look, and she needed a small coat for Gu Jinzhi.

Nianlu was busy all day, so she probably forgot and never delivered it.

Wei Rui remembered it now, if she didn't take it, she might forget it again.

She was always bold, so she went to the main courtyard with a bright corner lamp, and said to the other maids and women who followed: "My mother asked later, and said that I went to Sister Nianlu's place to make a show."

"I'll go with my sister." A clever little maid said.

The yard is huge, with rockery and bushes everywhere.At night, the shadows of the trees are dancing, which is a bit scary.

Wei Rui said no.

She took a shortcut by herself, entered a corner gate, and rushed towards the madam.

Just after bypassing the rockery, I saw Nianlu hiding behind another rock.

Wei Rui was puzzled.

Nianlu has always been quiet, who is she playing hide and seek with?

She asked a question, but saw Nian Lu dodging forward again.

Wei Rui stood on a higher ground, looking into the distance, Mu Qing was looking around by himself, and went to the corner gate on the other side of the second gate.

Wei Rui hurriedly turned around and went back.

Nian Lu was following Mu Qing, and Mu Qing went to the outer courtyard again, for some reason.

Wei Rui hurriedly went back to Gu Jinzhi, and told Gu Jinzhi what he said.She dared not cause trouble.

Gu Jinzhi frowned.
