Spring Girl's Notes

Chapter 430 The Old Study Room

After three or four days, Song Pan'er realized something was wrong with Brother Xuan.

Brother Xuan didn't talk much when he was young.But after Gu Jinzhi left Beijing, he made some friends himself, and gradually became lively, playful and full of energy.

But in the past few days, every time he eats, brother Xuan is listless and can't swallow the food.

Song Pan'er didn't know why, so she called Brother Xuan's servant girl, Zi Yuan, to come over and ask, "Young Master Ninth, have you been feeling unwell these days?"

Ziyuan didn't know either, she was even more worried than Song Pan'er.

Song Pan'er only knew that Brother Xuan was not active, but Ziyuan had seen Gu Jinzhi send someone to guard their yard, afraid that Brother Xuan would go out.

At night, Ziyuan is on duty, sleeping on the couch in the back room, and keeping Brother Xuan company.

She sleeps lightly, and has to wake up several times at night, afraid that Brother Xuan will wake up at night or get thirsty, so she has formed a habit.In the past few days, she would wake up at night, and then she heard sobs crying on the bed, low and low, very sad but did not dare to cry out loud.

Gu Xuanzhi's personality is not strong enough, and he is usually gentle and gentle, but he seldom takes things to heart, let alone cry secretly at night.

This is something big.

Ziyuan has been worried these days.

However, Ziyuan did not dare to tell Song Pan'er.

She is very loyal to Gu Xuanzhi, so Ziyuan always picks up unimportant things about Gu Xuanzhi's room and never reveals the secrets.So these years, Gu Xuanzhi valued her very much.

Song Pan'er gradually became a little dissatisfied with her, and felt that she was fooling around with Gu Xuanzhi and was totally ignorant.

so.Ziyuan also had to say something appropriately to satisfy Song Pan'er.

"...Master Ninth is not feeling well." Zi Yuan replied to Song Pan'er, "I just drank some wine the day before yesterday and said I had a headache and couldn't sleep at night. I haven't been able to sleep well for the past two days. The servant girl said, go to the doctor for a prescription." Take some medicine, Master Ninth said it's all right, don't bother. It will be fine in two days."

Song Pan'er heard this, half-believing.

She knew Zi Yuan's heart.Leaning towards Gu Xuanzhi, he refused to tell the truth in front of her.

But Shion rarely lied.

She usually doesn't say anything, but she can tell the truth.

Because of this, Song Pan'er also forgave Ziyuan's inclination and let her continue to serve Gu Xuanzhi.

Song Pan'er thought to herself, the child ate too much outside.It is normal to feel uncomfortable for a few days.She told Ziyuan: "...Persuade him more, and persuade him not to come back drunk after going out. At a young age, if he becomes addicted to alcohol, it will be a lifetime disaster."

Ziyuan quickly said yes.

"Let the small kitchen outside make some bird's nest porridge at night. If Master Ninth comes back late, serve him to eat before going to bed." Song Pan'er said again.Then I called the servant girl to find out two catties of bird's nests she treasured, "The bird's nests here are better than yours. You take them first, and come and tell me after you finish eating."

Aster Road is.

Taking the bird's nest, Zi Yuan held it in her hands.Out of the gate of the main courtyard.

The mother in charge, Haitang, was on the side, and said to Song Pan'er with a smile: "This Ziyuan is a little bit stupid, and she is so focused on Young Master Ninth that she dares to fool even Madam..."

"Who doesn't have a few loyal people around?" Song Pan'er didn't care, "Ziyuan was clever when she was young, and I'm quite happy that Brother Xuan can subdue her. Besides, what kind of waves can they make? I My son, I am still at ease..."

Haitang pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "What Madam said is that Young Master Ninth has always been sensible."

The topic is over.

In the afternoon, Gu Yanzhen came back very early.

Song Pan'er took the opportunity to talk to him about media protection.

The husband and wife were discussing who would be more honorable to invite to Zou's house to talk about the matchmaking.

"...When Old Shangshu Zou was in the court, he had a close relationship with the old Lu Guogong and the Wang Shangshu of the Hubu. Now that the old Lu Guogong passed away, Wang Shangshu also returned to his hometown, and the eldest son of the Wang family also served as the servant of the Hubu. The Wang family and Zou The family is a family friend, you still have a little contact with Wang Shilang, what do you think of asking him to be a matchmaker?" Song Pan'er said.

Ever since she fell in love with a girl from the Zou family, Song Pan'er has been thinking about it all day long.

If Gu Yanzhen's words hadn't annoyed her last year, all the girls from the Zou family would have come in now.

In Song Pan'er's heart, she had a plan for this matter, and she had already made various plans.

Even the mediator, she was optimistic about the candidate, but she just told Gu Yanzhen.

Gu Yanzhen nodded and said: "I have a little relationship with Wang Shilang. His younger sister is married to the Zou family, and the Zou family also has a daughter to marry his cousin. The two of them are in-laws, so it is most suitable. I will talk to him tomorrow. Go to pay a visit to Wang Shilang..."

Song Pan'er paid people and money for Gu Xiuzhi's trip to Yanling Mansion, and she was very happy, which moved Gu Yanzhen quite a bit.

So these days, Gu Yanzhen obeyed Song Pan'er.

On weekdays, when Song Pan'er asked him to do something, he always disliked trouble. Even when Song Pan'er started talking about Luoxuan's brother's marriage, Gu Yanzhen was not enthusiastic enough.

Now that he has agreed so simply, Song Pan'er is also happy.

The husband and wife discussed things until the children came in for dinner.

Gu Jinzhi also brought his sons over.

The conversation between Gu Yanzhen and Song Pan'er stopped.

At dinner time, Gu Xuanzhi didn't come.Song Pan'er sent a maid to invite her, and the maid came back and said that Young Master Ninth had dinner outside at noon, and he had some accumulated food, so he was not too hungry.

Song Pan'er recalled that she had told Ziyuan to cook bird's nest porridge for Gu Xuanzhi at night so that he would not starve him, so she said, "Then let's not wait for him..."

After dinner, Gu Jinzhi and the children went back to the annex.

She sent the children back first, and handed them over to the wet nurses, and told them to pick them up, then turned back and went to Brother Xuan's yard.

Brother Xuan locked himself in the back room and lay down to sleep.

When Gu Jinzhi came in, his footsteps were a little heavy. He knew it wasn't his maid, so he turned around and took a look.

Seeing that it was Gu Jinzhi, he was a little embarrassed to neglect her, so he could only sit up and call Seventh Sister weakly.

In Gu Jin's hand, he took a saving box.It contained the meals made in the other hall, and said with a smile: "I personally brought you the meals..."

"I... I'm not hungry..." Gu Xuanzhi lowered his head, not wanting Gu Jinzhi to see the decadent expression on his face, and said, "I ate too much at noon..."

"Nonsense, you didn't go out today." Gu Jinzhi said, "Get up quickly and see what I brought..."

She asked the servant girl to open the saving box.

The storage box has three layers.

On it are two bowls of vegetables and a bowl of roasted chestnut pheasant.A bowl of fried shrimp.There are also two bowls in the middle, one bowl of rose tofu, one bowl of braised fish, and the bottom is a bowl of steaming rice and a bowl of ham and fresh bamboo shoot soup.

Brother Xuan likes fried shrimp and rose tofu.

Seeing these two things, his stomach moved slightly.I'm a little hungry.

Gu Jinzhi asked Yuan to use a small bowl, scooped up half a bowl of rice, put it in Brother Xuan's hand, and said, "Eat some..."

Brother Xuan wanted to get up and get out of bed, but Gu Jinzhi didn't let him move.

She ordered the maids to carry the kang table to the bed.

This made Gu Xuanzhi find it interesting.

He smiled to himself.

This smile.The mood suddenly became brighter, and I didn't drink a drop of water for a day.There was a dull pain in my stomach, and I was so hungry.

He took the bowl and began to eat slowly.

He finished a bowl of polished round-grained rice, ham and fresh bamboo shoot soup, and only moved his chopsticks slightly for other dishes.

The cooks in the other palace of the palace are a bit out of Gu Xuanzhi's taste.

He is a picky eater.It has been like this since childhood.Even if it is the same dish, the method is slightly changed.He doesn't want to eat more.

After eating, Gu Jinzhi asked him again with a smile: "Do you want to go for a walk in the yard to digest food?"

Gu Xuanzhi looked outside, it was completely dark.

At night, the Gu family didn't release the key until the second watch drum, so it's okay to carry a lantern and go for a walk.

Gu Xuanzhi said yes.

Ziyuan hurried over to help him change his clothes.

While changing clothes, Gu Xuanzhi suddenly remembered that his sister was still pregnant, so he said, "It's so dark, what should we do if we accidentally slipped our feet? Let's not go out."

"I want to go to my grandfather's study." Gu Jinzhi said, "I've always wanted to go back these days, but I can't let go of it in my heart, so I dare not go. You can go for a walk with me..."

Grandfather's study is at the west end of the west garden of the outer courtyard.

Brother Xuan lived in the southeast corner of the East Garden, from his place to his grandfather's study, it would span the entire Gu residence.

Seeing that Gu Jinzhi really wanted to go, Gu Xuanzhi had no choice but to accompany her.

On the way, Gu Xuanzhi said to Gu Jinzhi: "The house over there is unoccupied now. But mother sends someone to clean it every month, and two old family members are left to guard over there. Let's go over there, don't As for the gloomy..."

The study on the grandfather's side has a complete yard.

It is located in the westernmost part of the West Garden, close to the Nanchang Palace.There are only a few house slaves who look after the house in Nanchang Wangfu, and it is deep in the trees, so it is very remote and cold.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is gloomy.

Gu Jinzhi nodded.

The siblings carried the lanterns and went to the grandfather's study.

The yard was cleaned very clean, and the furniture in the house was also spotless. As expected, there were two elderly family members living in the side room of the yard.

Gu Jinzhi and Gu Xuanzhi came, and they served tea to Gu Jinzhi's siblings.

Gu Xuanzhi didn't drink.

He can't drink the tea here.

And Gu Jinzhi was pregnant, so she didn't drink tea.

"You guys go down and rest, I'll just sit and go with Ninth Young Master." Gu Jinzhi said with a smile to the family watching the yard.

The two said yes.

Gu Jinzhi and Gu Xuanzhi entered the study.

The maids stood at the door.

The study room is tidy and clean, and there are no calligraphy or paintings on the walls, which is the style of my grandfather.Thinking of the past, vividly in his mind, the appearance of his grandfather clearly appeared in Gu Jinzhi's mind.

Tears welled up in her eyes.

Gu Xuanzhi hurriedly comforted her: "Seventh sister, grandfather has been gone for so many years, don't be sad anymore..."

Gu Jinzhi gently wiped away his tears, sighed and said, "You were still young at that time, and you didn't understand the relationship between my grandfather and me. No matter how long my grandfather has been away, my heart hurts when I think about it."

Gu Xuanzhi gently took Gu Jinzhi's hand, nodded: "I know, Seventh Sister..."

His mind was touched, and he choked up.

Gu Jinzhi hugged him lightly, just like when he was a child, although he is now a head taller than Gu Jinzhi.

"Brother Xuan, Seventh Sister will tell you a story..." Gu Jinzhi patted his brother on the back and said to him.
