Spring Girl's Notes

Chapter 412 Thoughts

The maid opened the curtain for Gu Chenzhi.

A gust of cold wind also sneaked in, and was quickly fused by the heating in the room, making it tasteless.

"I was going to visit you in your annex yesterday, but I was afraid that you would not be at home. I thought, you just left the palace, and you have a lot of work, so I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it. I thought I'd go hastily, and disturb you too. Today you It's here. I really didn't think about it..." Gu Chenzhi laughed loudly.

He untied his soaked cloak, handed it to the grandma beside him, and sat on the kang by himself.

The robe inside was also damp.

The temples can drip water.

There is too much snow outside.

"It's not mine. I should have come here yesterday. It's just that my mother is going out to pay New Year's greetings, and the prince is not at home. The children will only be handed over to the wet nurse. I don't feel at ease, so I took care of the children at home all day." Gu Jinzhi explained with a smile.

Seeing that Gu Chenzhi had already sat down and was about to speak first, she said again, "Brother, your clothes and hair are all wet, why don't you change your clothes first, so as not to catch the wind and cold. It's not easy to recover from the wind and cold in this extremely cold day... ...."

Gu Chenzhi also felt a bit of coolness seeping in from the top of his head.

Walking all the way, he only cared about getting into the yard without even holding an umbrella.The heavy snow was poured on the head and melted into the black hair, so that it had turned into cold water, which slowly penetrated into the scalp.

If you catch a cold on your head, you are most likely to get sick, Gu Chenzhi knows that.

He didn't try to be brave, and said with a smile: "Then Seventh Sister sit down again, I will come as soon as I go."

Grandma Lin Manjing also stood up with a smile.

Gu Chenzhi and the eldest grandma went back to the room first to change clothes.

Gu Jinzhi took the opportunity to say to the eldest lady: "Auntie, I'm going to sit with my second aunt and third sister-in-law in the afternoon..."

"I know you're busy. I won't delay you. I'll let the kitchen open half an hour earlier." The eldest lady smiled, "Your third sister-in-law always misses you too."

Gu Jinzhi thanked you.

Then she asked her aunt: "How is Uncle? The prince also wanted to come to pay New Year's greetings to Uncle, but he was afraid that Uncle would not have time to see him due to his busy schedule."

"Where are you talking?" said the auntie, "The prince is the most expensive guest. Your uncle also said that he would go to pay you New Year's greetings."

Gu Jinzhi smiled, and said, let the prince come over first to pay New Year's greetings to uncle.

Then, she asked her second sister, Gu Yuezhi.

The second sister who married into the Tang family.She is the only daughter of my aunt.She seems to be doing well.

"...She is fine. Her father-in-law passed away the year before last, and now your brother-in-law has succeeded Chuan Ningbo, and has made your second sister his wife, and your child his son." said the eldest aunt.

Gu Jinzhi nodded.

She remembered her second sister's father-in-law, who was the best at dealing with people.

And her mother-in-law is relatively short-sighted.

"Second sister's in-laws wife. Is she still healthy?" Gu Jinzhi asked.

"She is healthy and healthy, and now she eats vegetarian food and recites Buddha's name, and doesn't care about family affairs." The aunt said.

While talking, Gu Chenzhi quickly folded back after changing his clothes.

The homely conversation between Gu Jinzhi and his aunt was interrupted.

He and Gu Jinzhi didn't know each other well, and there was something to talk about as soon as they met.

He first asked Gu Jinzhi how he was doing in Luzhou in the past few years.How kind is the prince to her, and how are Gu Jinzhi's children waiting for family matters.While chatting, the topic turned to various medical records.

During these seven years in the capital, Gu Chenzhi has accumulated a reputation.

He worked very hard and kept asking people for advice.Everyone in Tai Hospital looked at Gu Yantao's face and was willing to teach him.Although Gu Chenzhi didn't have a teacher, he was also the leader of all the families.

His medical skills advanced by leaps and bounds.

He himself has many profound insights.There is an urgent need for someone with higher medical skills to compete with me.

He regarded Gu Jinzhi as that person.

The two chattered on and on about medicine for an hour, but neither the eldest lady nor the eldest grandma could get in the way.

Lunch was supposed to be half an hour earlier.It was half an hour late.

After lunch, both Gu Chenzhi and Gu Jinzhi were a little bit unsatisfied.

But after lunch, it was three quarters before Zhengzheng.

In winter, it gets dark earlier, and it's snowing heavily again. Gu Jinzhi wanted to go back before dark, and also wanted to talk to the third sister-in-law, so he had to leave.

Grandma and Gu Chenzhi sent Gu Jinzhi to the door of Chuihua.

Gu Chenzhi still wanted to let Gu Jinzhi speak.

Gu Jinzhi said, "I probably won't leave Beijing this year. Let's talk when I'm free."

Gu Chenzhi was slightly surprised, glanced at her, and asked: "Not leaving the capital, are you and the prince?"

"My lord went back..." Gu Jinzhi said.

Gu Chenzhi still wanted to ask, but Gu Jinzhi had already saluted and left.

After Gu Jinzhi left, the grandma asked Gu Chenzhi, "What does Seventh Sister mean when she says she won't leave Beijing this year? Are they going to stay in Beijing like Prince Jian's Mansion?"

Gu Chenzhi glanced at her, he didn't like the word "Lai" used by grandma very much.Whether he doesn't like it or not, he doesn't like talking about his wife about trivial matters, so he just shook his head and said, "How would I know? When I have time later, I'll ask her again..."

Gu Chenzhi doesn't care much about the affairs of the court, he really doesn't know.

Grandma didn't ask any more questions.

The couple went back to the room.

The children's nurse showed the grandma the purse that Gu Jinzhi gave to the children.

In each purse of Gu Jinzhi, there are four eight-leaf peach blossoms made of gold.There are small holes on the edge of the eight-leaf peach blossom, which can be played alone or worn as jewelry.

The petals are as thin as cicada's wings, and you can even vaguely see the slight trembling in the breeze, just like newly blooming tender stamens.This lifelike craftsmanship has caught up with the best goldsmiths in Beijing.

Grandma couldn't put it down, she was amazed, she looked at it for a while, and said: "This is too precious. Luzhou has such a skilled goldsmith..."

"It's rare to see, but there are many craftsmen with high skills in the market." Gu Chenzhi said, "Things are precious, but Luzhou is rich, and Seventh Sister has always been generous, so she can afford it. She gave it to the children, and you collect it for them. Just leave it alone. When Seventh Sister and her children come over, you will also make a backup gift and send it back.”

Grandma said yes.

She asked the big maid to put away the gift from Gu Jinzhi carefully.He said again: "After the new year, I'm just worrying about not having any good things for my sister Xi. Now I got this..."

She is in a good mood.

When her mind turned back from the jewelry, the eldest grandma thought of something again.

She hesitated for a while, and tentatively asked Gu Chenzhi: "You said, Seventh Sister gave birth to three sons in a row, but what is the secret recipe?"

Gu Chenzhi's complexion suddenly tightened.

Grandma knew that she had asked something she shouldn't have asked.

This topic is a taboo for their husband and wife.

After giving birth to five daughters in a row, the eldest grandmother Lin Manjing was under a lot of pressure.The same goes for Gu Chenzhi.

Gu Chenzhi's pressure was even heavier, but the eldest grandma didn't know it.

Gu Chenzhi is Gu Yantao's only son.

If he, Gu Chenzhi, had no son, their lineage would be cut off.

Before the old man left, he left two last words, one is that the daughters of the Gu family must not remarry secondly, and the other is that they can only take concubines when they are forty and childless.

Gu Chenzhi has already burned the ancestral precept of "women should not be married twice".He caused a lot of trouble for his father, Gu Yantao, and people still say that Gu's son is not filial.

Filial piety is the foundation of loyalty.

To be unfilial is to be disloyal, and a non-filial son cannot be a loyal minister. This is the mainstream concept in the entire society.

Unfaithful and unfilial, a man has no place to gain a foothold in society.

Gu Chenzhi burned the ancestral precepts and remarried for his fourth younger sister Gu Shanzhi.He argued for Gu Shan's dispute, but caused the Gu family and Gu Yantao to be criticized to this day.Wait for the other brothers to become officials in the future.It will definitely be affected.

This thing is too bad.

Even if Gu Yantao is in a high position and the Gu family gets the name of "unfilial", they will still be ridiculed by the world, and the children will rarely be valued by the emperor.

The consequences of this incident are irreparable.

Therefore, Gu Chenzhi didn't dare to burn the second one.

Father Gu Yantao did not dare to disobey.

The father was very dissatisfied with Lin Manjing's inability to have a son, but he was also unwilling to openly violate the ancestral precepts.Take a concubine for Gu Chenzhi.Therefore, Gu Chenzhi can resist for a while.only.He is already 36.In four years, he will be forty.

At that time, he would not want to take a concubine, not only his father, but also his mother who had always supported him would not agree.

But, Gu Chenzhi really doesn't want to take concubines.

It's one of his stressors.

The relationship between him and Lin Manjing is not comparable to that of an ordinary couple.

He didn't want to hurt Lin Manjing's heart and make the relationship between husband and wife look different.What is the meaning of life without someone who loves deeply in the soul?Gu Chenzhi has always believed in this way.

His father didn't have a concubine either, so his mother lived more comfortably.

This had a great impact on Gu Chenzhi.

He has never loved money and power, let alone fame, status, fine wine, and beauties.

He just wants the family to be warm and harmonious.

People always have the same pursuit.When you grow up, Gu Chenzhi wants to help the world and save the people; when you grow up, Gu Chenzhi wants to love his wife and daughter, be filial to his parents, and love his brothers and sisters.

If Lin Manjing did not have a son, this harmony would be forcibly broken.

Therefore, when the topic of his son was brought up every day, Gu Chenzhi had a headache.

"I remember Seventh Sister once said that it has nothing to do with women whether they can have boys or not. It's the man's fault." Gu Chenzhi said.There was a little pain in his eyebrows, "Seventh sister never said she missed it. She said back then that Yuan Yuye was barren and fourth sister was fine. After so many years of trouble in the Yuan family, finally fourth sister remarried and gave birth to two sons in one breath, which shows that There is something wrong with Yuan Yuye."

"Nonsense." Lin Manjing tightly grasped her husband's hand, "Women are pregnant with children, can they give birth to boys? It's because women don't live up to expectations. How is it your fault?"

Gu Chenzhi held his wife's hand instead, not wanting to argue about this issue any more.

He also had some doubts about Gu Jinzhi's point of view.

Because he can't understand the cause and effect in the middle.

"Or, you can ask Seventh Sister another day to see if she has a good remedy." After a moment of silence, Lin Manjing said cautiously, "Seventh Sister's medical skills may be better than yours. If she says no, I will die too. Be careful..."

Her plump and beautiful face was covered by dark clouds.

Gu Chenzhi also felt uncomfortable.

He had no choice but to agree first, and said: "Okay, I'll ask her next time. Let's make a plan early. I've thought about it, and at the end of this year, I will tell my parents that the third brother's second child will be adopted under my name. I raised him like a son."

Lin Manjing remained silent.
