Powerful

Chapter 23
When Gu Chong'an came back from the Secretary's Department, he heard the good news and was stunned for a moment.

"Congratulations, master, congratulations, master, old slave... this old slave is so happy!" Gu Xiang, the chief steward beside him, bowed slightly, and said to Gu Chong'an, his eyes were slightly moist.

He has been by Gu Chong'an's side since he was a servant, and now he has become the chief steward. After decades, he has always been loyal to Gu Chong'an.

When Gu Chong'an heard the news, he felt his heart tremble for a while, then he returned to calm, and asked, "Dr. Zhou's diagnosis is correct?"

For so many years, he has been looking forward to having an heir, but he has been disappointed. When he refused to adopt him in the Pine Age Home, he only had a glimmer of hope.

Unexpectedly, this meager hope was realized.His wife is pregnant, and Dafang may have a son!This... is something that he never thought of, not something that he can think of now.

His first reaction was the same as Fu Shi's, more cautious than surprised.

"My lord, I've been diagnosed. In addition to Dr. Zhou, my wife also ordered my slave to invite Dr. Chen from Dongzhao Street to come for a diagnosis. They are all happy pulses!"

Gu Xiang replied, his voice was higher than usual.

In fact, except for Gu Zhan, Gu Chong'an and Gu Chongting, who were in charge of the court, they didn't hear the news until evening, and the rest of the Gu family knew the good news before noon.The joyous event of Diezhangyuan cannot be hidden even in Tibet.

After Dr. Zhou left, the Diezhang Court issued an order to ask Gu Xiang to see the doctor again. He was very clear about the doctor's visit.

Hearing this, Gu Chong'an quickened his pace, and in the end he almost ran to the Zhangzhangyuan, like a kid, who never remembered the famous saying "A gentleman is not powerful if he is not serious".

When he saw Fu who was leaning against the head of the bed, with a gentle smile on his face, stroking his belly as if nothing, his originally calm heart beat violently, and his eyes couldn't help but heat up.

"Jinniang..." Gu Chong'an called hoarsely, but didn't know what to say.

No matter what you say, it's hard for Gu Chong'an to express his joy and excitement at this moment. The joy and joy of the Diezhangyuan are all here.

In Gantang courtyard, Gu Chongting and Lian's couple were also silent, but their expressions were not very good-looking.Especially Lianshi, her expression was gloomy, her brows were raised, and she looked extremely sinister.

"A few years ago, the Zhangzhangyuan was renovated, and all the furniture and furnishings were cleaned and refurbished. I was afraid of being exposed, so I removed all the medicines and put them back a few days ago. I don't want to..."

Frustrated, Lian explained to Gu Chongting that it was only a short period of one month, but Fu became pregnant during this gap, what a blessing!

After Lian heard the news about the Diezhangyuan before noon, she was shocked and regretted all the time, and several veils were torn.Mrs. Fu is pregnant, if she gives birth to a son-in-law, then sooner or later the Gu family will be the eldest.

Then her more than ten years of planning were ruined, what about her two sons?Like the previous practice of the Gu family, the second room and the side branches are divided?

The more Lian thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became, and he looked at Gu Chongting anxiously, hoping that he could have an idea.

Gu Chongting's expression gradually calmed down, and under the light of the candlelight, he looked handsome and handsome.It was just the tight lips, which showed that he was in a bad mood.

After a long time, he let out a sigh of relief and said: "The opportunity has been lost, and there is no use regretting it. Mrs. Fu is already pregnant, and the medicine in the Zhangzhangyuan should be taken away quickly, otherwise it will be bad if she is found out. Don't worry too much, Mrs. Fu has only been pregnant for more than a month..."

Gu Chongting didn't finish his words, but Lian suddenly became cheerful.That's right, Mrs. Fu has only been pregnant for more than a month now, and the pregnancy in October is too long, and there are too many things that can be done. It is hard to say whether the baby will be born smoothly.

Where did Fu Lu's business come from luck?She wanted to see if Mrs. Fu was really lucky!

Seeing Lian's expression, Gu Chongting knew that she had figured it out.Lien Shi is a very clear person who can understand a little bit.Now, he was just frightened by the good news of the Zhangzhangyuan and panicked.

A person who has been in peace for a long time, even with a bit of drizzle, thinks it is a stormy sea, and Lian's is like this.

However, Erfang has the ability to make Dafang have no children for more than ten years, and he has the ability to make Fu's child unable to be born.Lian's method is enough to deal with Da Fang.

Most of his mind was on the imperial court, but he would never ignore the inner house in the backyard. He didn't think there was anything wrong with the privacy of the inner house.

Back then, wasn't that prominent family also destroyed by the privacy of the inner house?As long as it is used properly, it is not impossible for the building to collapse.

As long as you can achieve what you want, how about insidiousness?So what about Yangmou?
"The eldest son of the big house, from the old man to the servants, will be extremely caring. If they make a careless move, they will be afraid of future disasters. During this time, don't rush to do it, wait until they relax. The most important thing now, It is to take the power of stewardship."

Gu Chongting said again.He served in the court, so what he saw and planned was naturally not the immediate gain or loss.It's not good news for Erfang that Mrs. Fu is pregnant, but it's not bad news if she retreats.

The power of stewardship is what he values.

At Fu's age, and it took more than ten years to conceive, she can only raise her baby with peace of mind. Of course, she has to entrust others with housekeeping.

There is no one in the Gu family's backyard who can be a big deal, and Lian's is the best candidate.

As long as the housekeeper of the Lian family, it is a matter of raising one's hand to drive back someone, promote someone, and install someone.As long as most of the servants of the Gu family are from the second household, even if Mrs. Fu is the housekeeper again, she will be taken out of the picture.What else can a master who has been emptied out do?
Dafang's order not to stay out of the Diezhang Court is like Shangyi's order not to stay out of the Zichen Palace, it has no effect at all.

The dispute between one family and one country is actually a dispute between ministers and servants.

Gu Chongting is very clear about these twists and turns.Although it is quite overkill to use the heart of the court to deal with the affairs of the inner house, but when dealing with the Gu family, Gu Chongting doesn't care about the big and the small.

After listening to Gu Chongting's words, Lian nodded repeatedly.The most important thing is to seize the power of housekeeper. As long as she is the housekeeper, is it difficult to play tricks in the big room?
She looked at Gu Chongting who was getting more and more stable and sophisticated, and she couldn't hide the love in her eyes.Even though they have been married for more than ten years, when she sees Gu Chongting giving advice, she can't help but her heart beat faster.

The first thing she liked was Gu Chongting's handsome appearance, but what she valued more was his scheming mind.Such a person will never give in.

As Gu Chongting's official position got higher and higher, Lian knew that he was right in his judgment, and became more confident in his own vision.

"Tomorrow, I will go to see my sister-in-law in the Zhangzhangyuan. As for the matter of the housekeeper, the old man will naturally consider it. I am just waiting. I have the right of housekeeper, and I will never let it go."

Lian said with a smile, his mood gradually brightened.

She was right, Gu Zhan in the Pine Age Home was indeed thinking about the housekeeper.
