The little daughter-in-law of the palace

Chapter 11
The ancestors of the Jiang family were educated, although the most promising ancestor was only a fifth-rank official in the capital. After several generations of accumulation, the family is not considered rich or wealthy, but it can be regarded as having a small amount of money. The ancestral house is located The street is also the best in Wutong County, only a few households away from the Gu family's main house.But after the Gu family fell, the old lady Gu's newly rented house was far away. From the west of the city to the east of the city, the mule cart drove for nearly two quarters of an hour.

"Girl, get out of the car." Chun Liu stood in front of the car and called softly.

Hanzhu straightened her clothes, bent down and went out.

The front of the Gu's house was cleaned up, and two luxuriant camphor trees were planted on the left and right, which added a bit of elegance to the obviously old house.Grandma Sun, the loyal servant beside Mrs. Gu, was already waiting in front of the door. When she saw Hanzhu, she eagerly came up to her, "Young lady is here, the old lady is looking forward to you wholeheartedly."

It was inconvenient to talk on the street, so Hanzhu walked quickly through the door, walked around the screen wall, and asked concerned: "What's wrong with the old lady? Have you invited a doctor?"

Grandma Sun said fearfully: "Please, it was said to be a stroke. Fortunately, it has recovered. As long as you can rest well in the future, there should be no major problems. Hey, the girl didn't see it. The old lady's mouth was crooked when she got sick, and the madam was so anxious that she almost fainted." , the old lady also has lingering fears, and sent us to invite the girl when she woke up."

Hanzhu recited the Bodhisattva's blessing, "Fortunately, it was just a false alarm."

Nanny Sun glanced at her sincere face, but said nothing.

The yard is not big, the front is reserved for Gu Heng to study and entertain guests, and the three old ladies live in the backyard.

Gu Heng's mother, Dong Shi, led her daughter by the bed. When she heard that her prospective daughter-in-law was coming, she turned her head and squinted her eyes to look at the door: "Hanzhu is here, come here quickly, the old lady misses you."

The voice is kind and natural, obviously he likes Hanzhu from the bottom of his heart.

Hanzhu's heart is also warm.She lost her mother when she was young, and after she got engaged to Gu Heng, Dong Shi treated her like her own daughter, Hanzhu's good female celebrity was taught by Dong Shi.It's just that Dong's eyes were squinted because he couldn't see clearly, and Hanzhu couldn't help but feel sad. During the years when Gu's family lived in the country, Gu Heng wanted to study when he was young, and his family relied on Dong's embroidery work for their livelihood, working day and night, It hurt my eyes.

"Is the old lady better?" Hanzhu walked to Dong's side and greeted the old man on the bed softly.

The old lady Gu nodded, motioned her to sit down, held her hand and said, "It's much better, I just took a walk at Naihe Bridge, and when I came back, I wanted to meet the person I was thinking about. Ziyan didn't come back until two days later. Seeing you makes me feel a lot better."

Speaking of her fiancé, Hanzhu couldn't speak, she blushed slightly and lowered her eyes.

Mrs. Dong got close, saw the shyness on the little girl's face, and smiled with satisfaction, such a good girl who is educated, rational and gentle, her son was blessed by the deceased husband to get this marriage.

"Okay, I have something to say to Hanzhu alone, you all go down." After a few pleasantries, Mrs. Gu started to push people away.

Mrs. Dong led her daughter out, and Grandma Sun Chunliu followed suit.

Hanzhu sat on the embroidered stool beside the bed, looking at the old man suspiciously.

Old Madam Gu took out a folded veil from the bed and handed it to her, "Open it and have a look."

Hanzhu took it with both hands, opened the veil, and saw a pair of green emerald bracelets wrapped inside, the whole body was clear.

The old lady Gu said to herself, "This is a family heirloom of our Gu family. When the Gu family encountered a catastrophe, I hesitated again and again, but I was not willing to pawn this pair of bracelets. I would rather take Ziyan and the others to the countryside to live a hard life." I was ill today, and I suddenly felt that I was really old, and I might go away at any time..."

"Old lady, don't say such unlucky things," Hanzhu quickly persuaded, "Old lady will live a long life."

The old lady Gu smiled wryly, looked at her and said, "You don't need to coax me with nice words, I know very well in my heart, don't mention that, just in case, I will leave this pair of bracelets to you for safekeeping. Your aunt is soft-tempered, I have no idea when something happens, your sister can't count on her, and Ziyan is not suitable for safekeeping when she is away from home. I can only rest assured if I leave it to you. Anyway, you will get married in two years, and I will give it to you sooner or later. .”

Hanzhu blushed anxiously, and refused without thinking: "Old lady, this is too expensive, you still..."

"It's a gift from the elders, I dare not say it, it's disrespectful, I deserve it, Hanzhu has read so many books, don't you even understand this truth?" Mrs. Gu said displeasedly while coughing, "I woke up the last time I woke up. What you are thinking about is this pair of family heirlooms, if you don't accept it, do you want me to die in peace when something happens again?"

"Old lady!" Hanzhu couldn't hear the elder's unlucky words the most. Seeing that the old lady was determined, she had to agree, looked outside, and reminded in a low voice: "Did the old lady tell auntie?"

For such a big matter, let's mention it to Mrs. Dong, in case something happens to the old lady. The Gu family will definitely be in a hurry when they can't find the family heirloom when packing up. Even if she takes it out, she will not be able to explain it clearly a feeling of.

The old lady Gu held her hand and smiled: "I told you, you said it before you came, but Hanzhu, don't tell outsiders, especially your sister Alan, she is not sensible, and I have a headache when she makes a fuss."

She is Gu Lan's biological grandmother, so it can be said that her granddaughter is wrong, but Hanzhu is not easy to follow her, and she even defended Gu Lan softly.

The old lady Gu shook her head, and asked her kindly what she had done at home these days, and Jiang Jizhou's physical condition.

Her family was coerced by the villain, and Hanzhu was full of unspeakable melancholy, but they couldn't be explained to outsiders. However, the old lady changed her previous dislike for her, and her words became gentler. Hanzhu was really flattered.

At noon, the old lady Gu asked her to have dinner here, but Hanzhu refused. After the meal, she served the old lady to drink the medicine, and then went out with the pair of heirlooms.

Back home, walking to the backyard, Hanzhu glanced at the door of the wing room quietly, but didn't see the person, just about to breathe a sigh of relief, the door of the wing room suddenly opened, and a tall figure walked out, dressed in black, even if the sun was bright at noon He couldn't dispel the chill from his body.

Anticipating that he would not allow her to see her sister, Hanzhu quickly withdrew her gaze and went straight to the servant's room.

"stop."

After walking a few steps, a man's cold voice suddenly came from behind.

Hanzhu stopped involuntarily, but still looked ahead.

Cheng Yu walked to her side and asked her in a deep voice, "Why did you come over there?"

Hanzhu lowered her eyes and said, "The old lady is sick and wants to see me."

Cheng Yu stared at her pale face from fear, "Didn't you say something that shouldn't be said?"

Hanzhu bit her lip, looked sideways, "No."
