Spring Girl's Notes

Chapter 452 Stirring

Gu Jinzhi stayed with Yanying for a whole day.

The boat hall was quite shady, but it couldn't stand the scorching heat of the hot summer.

In a short while, sweat broke out on Yanying's forehead.

After half an hour, his back was soaked.

Gu Jinzhi always thought that a five-year-old child should have no stamina.Ke Yanying is very good, he doesn't complain when he squats boringly, Master Chen also likes him very much.

Gu Jinzhi was very happy.

Persistence is a rare character.

After the end, Gu Jinzhi wanted to give Yanying a bath.

Yanying is very happy.

He didn't know if he liked playing in the water or if he liked Gu Jinzhi to accompany him like this, he was so excited that he slid around in the tub, splashing the water all over the floor and wet Gu Jinzhi's skirt.

Gu Jinzhi thought of Rongnan.

Rongnan also loved playing with water when she was a child.

Every time he takes a bath, he has to wet Gu Jin's body.

When he was in elementary school, he refused to let Gu Jinzhi bathe him.At that time, Rongnan knew how to be shy.

The past suddenly came to mind, Gu Jinzhi's eyes were a little sore.

She was stunned for a moment.

Yanying thought that she had wet her mother's clothes, and her mother was sad, and said quickly: "Mother, it will dry in a while, it's not cold."

Gu Jinzhi laughed.

Yanying really likes to play with water, and she refuses to come out after washing for a long time.Gu Jinzhi wanted to pull him, but he played tricks and said, "Mom, wash up before going out."

Gu Jinzhi couldn't hold him anymore, so he had to lift Zhu Zhongjun out, saying: "Your father said that children can't play with water. They've been washed, get up quickly."

Zhu Zhongjun's words, Yanying regards them as imperial edicts.

He admires Zhu Zhongjun very much.

This kind of reverence made Yanying like to imitate Zhu Zhongjun's words and deeds.

Sure enough, after hearing Gu Jinzhi's words, Yanying crawled out of the tub.

Gu Jinzhi wiped his body for him, and he giggled.

He is ticklish.

His son Rongnan from his previous life was also ticklish.

Gu Jinzhi knew that Yanying had always been ticklish.But today is very strange, I can't help but think of Rongnan.

She hadn't thought about Rongnan for a long time.

She helped Yanying get dressed, and led him to wait for Zhu Zhongjun in the main courtyard.

It was dusk.The sunset slanted down and dyed the courtyard in bright gold.

Zhu Zhongjun came back quickly from the outside, carrying a wave of heat all over his body.

The back of his clothes was soaked with sweat, and his temples were also soaked with sweat.

Yanying cried out excitedly, rushed towards Zhu Zhongjun with all her strength, and called out to her father.

Zhu Zhongjun stood there.With slightly moist eyes, he picked up the rushing son and held him tightly in his arms.

"I've grown taller." Zhu Zhongjun carried Yanying into the house, then let him go, looked at his son carefully, and said to Gu Jin. "It's only been more than four months, and he has grown a lot taller."

Yanying has grown taller.

When making summer shirts.Mother Song Pan'er knew that children would grow taller, so some of the pants made for them, especially those made by Yanshan and Yanying, were somewhat longer.

Yanying's longest pair of pants is no longer long, but just right.

In terms of these details, Song Pan'er was very careful.

"Maybe it's because of martial arts." Gu Jinzhi said.

Yanying took Zhu Zhongjun's arm.He interrupted his chat with Gu Jinzhi and asked Zhu Zhongjun, "What fun did you bring me?"

Zhu Zhongjun brought it.

He brought many toys to the children.They are all on the side of the guards in the outer courtyard.

Yesterday I hurried back to see Gu Jinzhi, and because I was exhausted, I slept from dusk until the next morning, and forgot to bring it in.

"Bring it, bring it." Zhu Zhongjun laughed and asked someone to bring it to Yanying.

Yanying was very happy.

What Zhu Zhongjun brought back were all kinds of gadgets.There are miniature wooden weapons, complete with knives, forks, bows and arrows; there are also small clay sculptures of soldiers and generals, and a sand table.

This is for Yanying.

In addition, I brought some ink cartridges and books to Yanshan.

The youngest, Yan Shao, brought some delicate and interesting playthings.

Yanying saw it, and she really liked it, and refused to let go.

Holding the little gift, he played vigorously and stopped caring about Zhu Zhongjun.

Zhu Zhongjun patted his son's head, looked aside for a long time, and then came in and sat down to talk with Gu Jinzhi.

"Have you returned to Luzhou?" Gu Jinzhi asked him.

Zhu Zhongjun nodded and said: "I went back, Luzhou is very good. You are in Beijing these days, are you okay?"

Gu Jinzhi shook his head, saying that she is fine too.

Zhu Zhongjun asked Yanshan again: "Where are Yanshan and Mr. Lin, and when will they be back?"

"Last time Mr. Lin sent a letter, saying that he went to Shandong and paid homage to the Confucius Temple. They will go south, and they probably won't come back until the end of the year." Gu Jinzhi said, "I am very relieved to have Mr. Lin following Yanshan."

She seemed to be deliberately emphasizing that she was relieved.

Zhu Zhongjun understood that Gu Jinzhi was also uneasy.

He gently held Gu Jinzhi's hand, and said: "Mr. Lin often travels in the rivers and lakes, he has a lot of experience. Boy, he should see more of the world. Mr. Lin's proposal won my heart. You don't have to worry about Yanshan..."

Gu Jinzhi nodded.

She changed the subject and asked Zhu Zhongjun: "Is the flood season serious?"

Zhu Zhongjun shook his head and said, "It's okay. The Yellow River broke its embankment several times. Fortunately, it was expected. There were not many casualties, and the disaster relief was timely."

Gu Jinzhi was quite relieved, and said to Zhu Zhongjun, "You're too busy to lose weight..."

Zhu Zhongjun glanced at her.

His eyes were burning, and he was a little embarrassed to see Gu Jinzhi.

After the couple rested at night, Zhu Zhongjun and Gu Jinzhi talked about a secret matter in the tent.

"When I was in Luzhou, I had one thing in mind. In those days in Beijing, I figured it out. When I go back this time, I will tell Uncle Zhang to do it."

Zhang Shuhe was a counselor in Luzhou and one of Zhu Zhongjun's many counselors.

Gu Jinzhi thought for a while, then asked Zhu Zhongjun in a low voice: "Is it about the coins?"

Zhu Zhongjun mentioned this matter many times, and Gu Jinzhi also persuaded him many times.Don't act rashly.

Zhu Zhongjun nodded.

Gu Jin didn't speak for a while.

After a moment of silence, Gu Jinzhi continued: "What if we get caught up in the trouble, what should we do? This is a big deal."

"Nowadays when the war starts, how much the national treasury spends will be counted on the war." Zhu Zhongjun's voice was very soft, "This is an excellent opportunity. Gu Jinzhi, if this matter becomes serious, we can steal most of it." The treasury. It can also make the government of the world into a mess. Not to mention the prince is so willful and incompetent, even the emperor can't deal with it..."

"It's the common people who are suffering." Gu Jinzhi sighed.

Gu Jinzhi always thinks of the word morality subconsciously.

Even if she has done immoral things, she cannot be as relaxed as Zhu Zhongjun.

Zhu Zhongjun felt that we should talk further.The sense of resistance in Gu Jinzhi's heart will be even stronger.

He gently hugged Gu Jinzhi in his arms and kissed her temples.

Gu Jinzhi didn't sleep well that night.

Zhu Zhongjun slept soundly.

He was already working on the coins.

Gu Jinzhi just opened and closed his eyes.

She was still uneasy.

If Zhu Zhongjun continued to make trouble like this, sooner or later the world would be muddied by him.He just wanted to rely on this turbidity to build his great cause.

His great cause was connected with Gu Jinzhi.

Gu Jinzhi also expressed his support.

give up halfway.Not only will all previous efforts be wasted, but it will even invite death.

Gu Jinzhi is compassionate now.It all looks ridiculous and useless.

She put her hand lightly on her chest.

It took a long time for the depression in her heart to slowly fade away.

*****

After Zhu Zhongjun returned to Beijing, he had to go to court every day.

The prince still disliked him.

There is still no big deal in the court.

The matter of the three princesses choosing a son-in-law has been submitted to the Ministry of Rites.

Near the capital, not the son of civil and military officials.People with good looks and clean family background can report to the Ministry of Rites for selection.

The Ministry of Rites will make a preliminary screening.Then ask the emperor for an order, and the emperor will order the eunuch who is in charge of ceremonies to be selected in the palace of the kings.

The eunuch who is in charge of ceremonies will select three people.

These three people have to receive education, and wait for another auspicious day before sending them to the emperor, who will choose one of them to be his son-in-law.

Those who fail the election are treated well, and can get a tribute student from the local Confucianism, as well as other rewards.

Now that the emperor is not in Beijing, the prince is in charge of this matter.

Concubine Gu De, the biological mother of the third princess, was worried.

She knew that the eunuch of the Supervisor of Rituals would control her daughter's future fate.It is very important to go to Zhuwang Pavilion to be the eunuch for the second screening.

Concubine De didn't know who to send.

She didn't dare to bribe her rashly.

So these days, she scratched her heart and lungs, felt uneasy for a moment, and then pretended to be sick, trying to invite Gu Jinzhi to the palace and let her pass on a message to the Gu family.

At this moment, the Gu family and Concubine De must not interfere.

It's not good for Concubine De to openly want to see Mrs. Gu's family, the purpose of this is obvious.

The current Concubine De is cautious in every step, not daring to be arrogant.

The Empress Dowager heard that Concubine De was ill, and insisted on inviting Gu Jinzhi by name. The Empress Dowager understood somewhat.

She didn't stop Concubine De either, and invited Gu Jinzhi for her.

The queen mother also wanted to see Gu Jinzhi often.

Gu Jinzhi was about to enter the palace with a big belly.

Zhu Zhongjun was very unhappy about this.

"The weather is hot, and you have such a heavy body. If you suffer from heatstroke, a minor ailment will become a major problem." Zhu Zhongjun said, "You don't care about Concubine De, it's not worth it to work for her like this."

"It's my sister after all." Gu Jinzhi said with a smile, "Walking a few steps won't cause any heat. Besides, if you do more activities, both my child and I will be healthy..."

Zhu Zhongjun knew this was an excuse.

He didn't force Gu Jinzhi either, but just told her: "Don't agree to embarrassing things for Concubine De. You might have to make an offer one day, and you won't be able to help at that time, and it will add to her resentment."

Gu Jinzhi nodded: "I know..."

Zhu Zhongjun accompanied her into the palace.

Gu Jinzhi first went to greet the Queen Mother, and then went to Concubine De.

Concubine De lost weight.

It's not a big deal to lose a few points in summer.

"...The Ministry of Rites has already issued the list, and I heard that there are already as many as 50 children to be selected. The Ministry of Rites will select 20 people and send them to the princes' halls for selection." Concubine De said in one breath, "Please let uncle pay attention , The Ministry of Rituals should have people from the uncle. The 20 people selected in the preliminary round must be strictly investigated, but we must not let those people who pretend to be fakes."

"Okay, don't worry." Gu Jinzhi agreed, "I will tell my aunt after I leave the palace, so that she and my uncle can be careful."

Concubine De is still worried.
