Spring Girl's Notes

Chapter 442 Going Crazy

The Dragon Boat Festival is just around the corner.

Song Pan'er was preparing to hold a banquet, and invited wives and grandmothers who were acquainted with her and whose natal families were not in the capital, to the mansion as guests.

She invited the eldest lady and the second lady, as well as the second girl Gu Yuezhi and the fifth girl Gu Pozhi.

For other people, she made more than 30 posts in total.

Except for one lady who was unable to come because of a minor illness, everyone else came, which was very embarrassing to Song Pan'er.

Song Pan'er said to Gu Jinzhi: "Whether it's good or bad, everyone has a snobbish eye. If you weren't in Beijing, where would all those people come from?"

She didn't think it was bad to follow others, but it had become a trend.

The people invited this time, more or less have some status, so they can't guarantee that they have something to do at home.

But they all came.

Song Pan'er knew that she didn't have such a big face, and they all looked at Gu Jinzhi.

She wasn't unhappy either.

In the past few years in Beijing, Song Pan'er has also learned to be a philistine, and can better understand the philistines of others.

She just sighed.

"They are looking at Mother's face. Mother is very popular in Beijing." Gu Jinzhi smiled.

Song Pan'er also smiled.

Originally, she just said something casually and didn't take it to heart, and she didn't bother to argue with Gu Jinzhi, so she smiled and passed it.

For the Dragon Boat Festival banquet, Song Pan'er sent people to clean the courtyard, trim flowers and plants, prepare ingredients, set up a troupe, set up a stage, and the family got busy.

Gu Jinzhi didn't bother to bother, and raised her baby in the other hall with peace of mind.

She really missed Zhu Zhongjun in her heart.

Zhu Zhongjun has been away for more than half a month, and there is no news of his return...

She is also worried.

Zhu Zhongjun acted steadily.He should be fine.

On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, Gu Jinzhi took the child to his mother's side early.

The fragrance of mugwort leaves can be smelled from a distance.

Gu Jinzhi came early, and there was no guest at home yet.

Song Pan'er teased the children for a while.

"Today, I asked my husband to take a vacation too. Brother Xuan and Xiaoshi and Xiaoshi don't have to go to school. I asked their brothers to take Yanshan and Yanying, and Yanshao to the wet nurse, and sent a capable maid to take care of you. You Let's have fun for a day too," Song Pan'er said.

Gu Jinzhi said yes: "I will listen to you."

Song Pan'er was very happy, so he sent someone to the outer courtyard to find brother Xuan.

Brother Xuan came in with his younger brothers, and said to Song Pan'er first: "Daddy said. Today, Imperial Physician Qin asked them to besiege and went to the western suburbs. If you can't come back at night, you can rest outside. Don't worry."

Song Pan'er was astonished.

Gu Yanzhen didn't talk to her, and only let Brother Xuan talk.I ran out to play around.

Was it because he was afraid that she would disagree, so he ran away first?

Song Pan'er got angry for a while, and said, "Old boy, the older you get, the more ignorant you become."

Brother Xuan said with a smile: "Mother, my father is not old..."

Song Pan'er glared at him.

Brother Xuan didn't dare to answer.

"Don't be angry." Gu Jinzhi also said, "The house is full of female guests today. Daddy can't help even if he's at home."

"I'm not angry either. Tell me, why don't I let him go?" Song Pan'er said.His tone was not kind, and he was very dissatisfied with the children's attitude toward Gu Yanzhen.

Gu Jinzhi didn't dare to answer.

Song Pan'er was a little disappointed.

But soon, the servant girl on the second door came to report that the eldest lady and the eldest grandma had arrived with all the young ladies.

The unhappiness in Song Pan'er's heart disappeared immediately, and she hurried out to greet her.

Gu Jinzhi followed suit.

The eldest lady was wearing a dark green embroidered gown, with a plump and fair face.With a gentle smile, he said upon meeting: "I know you are busy today. Sister Jin is pregnant again, and she doesn't even have a helper. I brought Manjing and the children over, and you just do what you want."

Song Pan'er laughed and said, "I'll take it seriously when you say that."

Everyone laughed.

Grandma Lin Manjing is also dressed up today.She combed a high bun, and inserted a pair of gold butterfly white jade wings at a slant. In the mouth of the gold butterfly, there are two rows of necklaces, and the corners are made of transparent gemstones, swaying and shining when walking.

Her face also became brighter, she was completely different from the sister-in-law who came to see Gu Jinzhi last time.

Her smile is also bright, not forced.

Following the eldest lady and Lin Manjing were Lin Manjing's eldest daughter, Gu Xi, and second daughter, Gu Tan.The two sisters are 12 years old and the other is [-] years old. They are both slim and graceful.

Gu Xi and Gu Tan have very similar faces, and they both wear the same color beanie, like twins, which is even rarer.

Everyone greets each other.

Song Pan'er pulled Gu Xi and sighed, "Sister Xi has grown taller again. I'm afraid I'll be as tall as your Seventh Aunt in the future."

Among the sisters in the family, Gu Jinzhi is the tallest.

Gu Xi smiled shyly.

Song Pan'er led the crowd into the flower hall of the main courtyard and sat down first.

The maids served tea.

Then, guests arrived one after another.

Da Furen, Lin Manjing, Gu Xi, and Gu Di all went to help greet her.

Instead, Gu Jinzhi was free.

She greeted the female guests who came in one by one, and exchanged a few polite words.It's just because Gu Jinzhi is not familiar with him, and there is nothing to talk about.

After a while, Hu Zeyu's wife Jiang Shi also came.

Mrs. Hu's daughter, Hu Jie, is Gu Jinzhi's cousin.

She and Gu Jinzhi had something to say.

Gu Jinzhi also knew that Hu Jie had returned to Yanling Mansion not long ago, saying that she was taking care of her in-laws, but no one knew what the meaning was.

"Has the second cousin already arrived at Yanling Mansion?" Gu Jinzhi and Mrs. Hu talked about Hu Jie.

The smile on Mrs. Hu's face suddenly brightened, and she said: "It's been a long time ago. She is filial. She said that she has been married for many years and has never served her uncle. It is her filial piety to take the child back."

She was proud of her daughter's behavior.

Gu Jinzhi also praised Hu Jie for being filial.

Then, people came in one after another.

Gu Jinzhi's second and fifth cousins ​​also came.

Gu Jinzhi then confessed to Mrs. Hu and asked the second and fifth cousins ​​to go there.

The sisters hadn't seen each other for many years, but they all greeted each other.Then we talked about the baby in our belly.

Gu Jinzhi's stomach.Already obvious.

The second cousin and the fifth cousin naturally have to ask her children.

At three o'clock in the morning, all the guests had arrived, and Song Pan'er ordered the banquet to begin.

Gu Jinzhi sat down with the two cousins.

From time to time, someone came to ask questions, and Gu Jinzhi quickly stood up to socialize.

I was a little tired from this meal.

After dinner, while everyone was watching the play, Gu Jinzhi took the opportunity to sneak away to the wing room of his mother's main courtyard to see Yan Shao.

Yan Shao didn't cry.The nurse and maids brought him playthings to coax him to walk, and he was just happy.

Seeing Gu Jinzhi coming, he ran quickly towards Gu Jinzhi.

Gu Jinzhi was afraid that he would fall, so he hurriedly called the wet nurse to help him.

The wet nurse hugged Yan Shao.

"He runs so fast now..." Song Pan'er took the child from the nurse and carried him to the kang.Seeing that his little face was a little sweaty, he took out a handkerchief to wipe it off for him, and then talked to the nanny, "I couldn't walk steadily two months ago."

The wet nurse smiled and said, "Yes, the third young master speaks a little more fluently now."

"It's almost two years old, so I should be more agile." Gu Jinzhi smiled. "Has he eaten today?"

"I just ate a bowl of beef noodle soup. I filled half of the bowl and finished it. The servants are also afraid that the third young master will accumulate food. That's why I teased him to run away." The wet nurse replied.

From March, Gu Jinzhi asked the wet nurse to give Yan Shao some stewed meat or drink some broth.

Yan Shao loves to eat.

These days, the family has been making soup for him to cook noodles, or serve dumplings.

He still breastfeeds, but only once a day before bed.

Gu Jinzhi planned to wean him after he learned how to eat rice.

so.In the past few days, she also ordered the wet nurse to feed Yan Shao rice.

Yan Shao has a soft spot for pasta.

"I still have to feed him some rice tomorrow," Gu Jinzhi said.

The wet nurse said yes.

How well they speak.Yan Shao yawned, a little weak and fell on Gu Jinzhi's shoulder, he was sleepy.

Gu Jinzhi put his hand into his back and felt it was a little wet, so he whispered to the nurse: "Order the little maid to get some hot water and wipe Yan Shao's back, he was sweating just now."

The wet nurse said yes.

The hot water was brought, and the wet nurse wanted to wipe Yan Shao herself, but Gu Jinzhi took the towel and said, "I'll do it."

"Princess, you have worked so hard." The wet nurse said, "It's still a servant. Don't worry about serving the third young master."

She meant that Gu Jinzhi had a big belly and worked harder.

Gu Jinzhi shook his head and said, "It's my duty as a mother."

She insisted on helping Yan Shao wipe his body, and changed into a clean undershirt.

Yan Shao was too sleepy to keep his eyes open.

Gu Jinzhi put him on the bed.

This wing room was once lived in by Gu Jinzhi's two younger brothers, Brother Xun and Brother Xun.Now that Gu Jinzhi's children are here, Song Pan'er asks someone to prepare clean bedding.

Yan Shao soon fell asleep.

Gu Jinzhi himself was a little sleepy.

She said to the nurse, "Look at him..."

The wet nurse said yes.

Gu Jinzhi went to the next room, undressed and lay down to sleep for half an hour.

When she got up, Yan Shao woke up too.

And the banquet did not end.

Song Pan'er sent someone to look for Gu Jinzhi.

Knowing that Gu Jinzhi was resting, he didn't say anything.

When Shenzheng arrived, the guests gradually dispersed.

Grandma Lin Manjing helped see the guests off.

After seeing off the guests, leaving the rest to Haitang, Song Pan'er returned to the main courtyard.

Gu Jinzhi and Yan Shao are in the wing room.

Song Pan'er came in and saw that Yan Shao was lying on Gu Jinzhi's shoulder, and Gu Jinzhi patiently said what he was talking about, so he smiled and hugged Yan Shao over.

Yan Shao didn't know that he was afraid of strangers, so Song Pan'er was happy to hug him.

Slowly, Yan Shao became a little reluctant.

The nurse said he was hungry.

Song Pan'er taught someone to serve a dish of sweet-scented osmanthus syrup, and she broke it bit by bit, and fed it to Yan Shao.

Sure enough, Yan Shao stopped making trouble.

"I heard Mrs. Wu and the others mutter that Princess Jian is crazy..." Song Pan'er casually mentioned while feeding Yan Shao some pastries, "I didn't expect that. I thought she was dead."

Gu Jinzhi was slightly taken aback.

"Why do you think she's dead?" Gu Jinzhi asked Song Pan'er, "Why do you say she's crazy?"

"It was rumored a few years ago that she died. She didn't show up for many years. There are all kinds of rumors, and I heard it too. This time it was said that she was crazy, and it was also heard by Mrs. Wu. Who knows? ?”

Song Pan'er didn't care, she was just an interesting gossip.

Gu Jinzhi didn't answer for a while.
