Wanfu, the Reborn Empress

Chapter 82
As the New Year's Eve drew closer, almost all the governments and institutes became busy.

Mrs. Lin is in charge of the entire Gu Mansion. Whether it's the human relations with other mansions in the capital or the income from inspections of various Zhuangzi shops at the end of the year, almost all of them go through her hands. Therefore, Mrs. Lin is so busy these days that she hardly touches the ground. He didn't even have the time to sit down and drink tea quietly.

Every time Gu Yanxi went to pay his respects to his mother, he could see his mother struggling to check the books with her exhausted body. Whenever she saw this place, Gu Yanxi couldn't help feeling distressed.

The mother's body is delicate, especially after giving birth to her, she has regained her vitality. Although she has been pampered well over the years, every time it comes to the end of the year, the mother will be so busy that she doesn't even have time to catch her breath. After the festival, my mother almost always falls ill.

Although physical fatigue can be recovered after a few days of rest, but seeing her mother so tired that she didn't even want to move after eating, Gu Yanxi finally bit the bullet and stood up after some mental struggle. After paying respects to my mother, I took the initiative to do work for myself, and said, "Mother, why don't you let my daughter check last year's harvest in Zhuangzi for you?"

When Lin suddenly heard her precious daughter say such words, she immediately raised her head from the account book, looked at her daughter's worried expression, and then looked at the unmoving breakfast in front of her, Lin immediately understood.

Putting down the account book in her hand, she showed an apologetic smile to her daughter, and said, "Jiaojiao is worried that mother is busy with the work at hand and won't remember to eat? Okay, mother, can you eat well?" Shi put a piece of crystal shrimp dumpling on Gu Yanxi's plate for Gu Yanxi, and continued: "Jiaojiao, you should eat more, this is your favorite."

Looking at the crystal clear shrimp dumplings on the plate, it is indeed very tempting, but right now, no matter how greedy Gu Yanxi is, he will not forget the real purpose of coming to find his mother today.

She put down the chopsticks in her hand and said to her mother seriously: "Mother, I know you heard what I said just now, and I'm also telling you seriously, let me help you, you see you are tired and thin; If this continues, you will fall ill again before the end of the New Year."

Knowing that her daughter is filial, but Lin also loves her precious daughter, doesn't she?

Besides, this child has just turned 11 years old this year, and she is only a half-grown girl. She has never learned how to manage accounts, so how can she understand the things in the account book.

Therefore, in the face of Gu Yanxi's initiative to invite Ying, Lin did not even hesitate, and refused: "Mother knows that Jiaojiao is worried about Mother's body, it's just Jiaojiao, Mother's body Mother knows that these days are quite I'm tired, but after a few days I'll be fine."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Lin couldn't help sighing, and said: "Actually, if you want to blame, you can blame your elder brother. Even if a man as old as him in the capital is not married, he is already engaged, but he is lucky. Now he still looks like he is not interested in women; usually, when I talk a little more, he finds me annoying, so he simply moved to live in the barracks of Jinwuwei. You said that your elder brother is like this, is it because you are angry with me? If he is really sensible, he will quickly find me a well-behaved and sensible daughter-in-law, so that he can also share the burden on me."

At this point, Lin couldn't eat anymore, put down the chopsticks in his hand and turned his head unhappily, it seemed that he was angry with his only son.

Looking at such a mother, Gu Yanxi could only laugh helplessly, walked to her side, hugged her arm and said coquettishly: "Mother, my brother and I are both your children, why? You are really like your own Is the child angry?"

Lin opened her mouth and was about to say something, but when she saw Gu Yanxi's fawning and obedient appearance, she immediately swallowed the angry words in her mouth; yes, these two children are her eyeballs. She couldn't bear to scold her loudly, so how could she really be willing to fight against the son who made her angry?
Seeing that mother's heart softened, Gu Yanxi continued to act coquettishly and said: "Mother only saw that elder brother didn't bring you a well-behaved and obedient daughter-in-law back, but why don't you take a look, among the children of the aristocratic family in the capital, elder brother is the most promising, The eldest brother's current reputation is all based on his own real ability. First, he did not rely on the relationship between his grandfather and father, and second, he did not flatter others. You almost give a thumbs up, don't you? Mother, when you go out as a guest and hear the wives of other family mansions discussing your elder brother with you in an envious tone, don't you feel proud at that time? Don't you feel proud? Are you proud?"

Gu Yanxi's words can be regarded as speaking to Lin's heart. Yes, her son is indeed her greatest pride. Every time she goes out to be a guest, the wife of any family will envy her when she mentions it; The son has both ability and good looks, which is really enviable.

However, right now, she was embarrassed to show her small thoughts in front of Gu Yanxi, so she reached out and patted the head of this quirky little girl, and said, "You're a big kid, who taught you to talk like this?" you?"

Gu Yanxi let out a wailing pretending to be hurt by being photographed, and looked at his mother pitifully with his watery eyes: "Is it necessary to be taught by others? Because I have heard this kind of talk a lot, The little sisters who play well with me almost secretly envy me for having such a powerful big brother, and mother, do you know? There are also many ladies who secretly admire the big brother, and are vying to be my sister-in-law .”

"I'm really shameless, you dare to say such things." Lin Shiming knew that her daughter was pretending to be delicate, but she still stretched out her hand to rub the place where she was slapped just now, "Don't think that mother didn't see it, you I'm protecting your elder brother. Mother knows that your brother and sister have a good relationship, but they are just Jiaojiao. We must face the problems we have to face. I have also heard a lot of rumors and rumors that have been circulating a while ago. I also love Miss Li from Li's mansion. Heard of the reputation, I thought she was a rare lady, but I didn't expect to be such a shameless villain; although we despise this kind of person, it can be seen from this that we have to think about your elder brother's marriage ; and I also heard that Princess Huayi in this palace seems to have some thoughts about your elder brother."

Suddenly hearing her mother mention Liang Huayi, Gu Yanxi wanted to know her mother's thoughts, and asked: "Mother, if the eldest brother is really favored by the emperor in the future, and he is pointed out to Princess Huayi as a son-in-law, what do you think about this marriage?"

When Lin heard this question, she almost became worried from the bottom of her heart.

She took Gu Yanxi's hand and patted it lightly, sighed, and said: "Jiaojiao, if your brother really married the princess, this marriage may be the glory of my Gu family in the eyes of outsiders, but in my opinion Come on, it’s a lot of pressure.”

"It's not that mother is picky, but mother sincerely hopes that your eldest brother can marry a woman who can take care of him, considerate him, and care about him, instead of marrying a golden phoenix to go home and accompany and serve him carefully every day. I am afraid that if there is a slight mistake, the whole family will be affected; it is not that simple to marry a princess into the house, and I am afraid that it will not work to get along with the way of getting along with the daughter-in-law and mother-in-law of ordinary people; when the time comes , the whole house must be careful to serve that little ancestor, for fear of being neglected or wronged, you say, if such a daughter-in-law gets married back home, can our family still have a good life?"

Gu Yanxi could tell now that the emotional mother-in-law is 1 people who don't want the glory of clinging to the royal family.

Gu Yanxi couldn't help but look at his mother with a sad face, covered his mouth and laughed a few times, and said: "Mother, why is this a good marriage that I would like to share in someone else's house, but when it falls into your mouth, it becomes a 'suffering' '? You don't like Princess Huayi that much?"

"It's not that mother doesn't like the princess, it's that mother loves your elder brother more." Lin said: "My son, I know best what kind of character he is. Why has your elder brother tried so hard to show himself all these years? Is it just Do you just want this enviable position now? No, what he longs for is to get rid of the title of the grandson of the grand master who has been on his head since he was born. Being able to rely on his own ability to create a world of emperors, instead of being favored by others because he is the grandson of the old grand master, and because he is the son of the servant of the Ministry of Officials; How could such a proud man think of gaining nepotism by currying favor with the princess, so as to make his career even higher?"

"If your elder brother really favors the princess, I am afraid that no matter how capable he is in the future, others will say that he is relying on his status as a consort to rise to the top. How unfair is it to treat him like this? Besides, I can see that you Eldest brother doesn't like princesses, marrying a woman he doesn't like, and making others doubt his ability in the future, isn't that cruel to him?"

Listening to her mother's analysis, Gu Yanxi knew that her mother had already considered so much in silence.

And everything is considered from the perspective of the elder brother. Such a sensible and kind mother, she and the elder brother are really lucky in three lives to meet.

Gu Yanxi looked at her mother's slightly wrinkled eyebrows, stretched out her index finger to gently push her away, and said something to comfort her: "Mother, don't worry, with such a good mother like you by your side, big brother will definitely not be wronged in the future, He will definitely marry back a smart, clever and filial daughter-in-law who will honor you; as for the Princess Huayi you are worried about, she has no fate with the eldest brother, so don't worry about her coming into our house."

Lin took Gu Yanxi's words as an ordinary joke of the youngest daughter's family, reached out and poked her daughter Bai Nen's forehead, and said, "You know the most, don't you? You're already a half fairy now, so forget it if you can pinch it." Are you talking about no fate, then you tell mother, where is your brother's fate? Who is it?"

Gu Yanxi knew that Lin would not believe her words, so he hugged her arm with a smile and said, "Anyway, it won't be long before eldest brother will get married, and what you worry about, mother, will not happen; mother, let's get married first Put it aside, your business is the most important right now, look at you, you look ugly when you look at the account book, if you continue like this, you will turn ugly in a few days; so mother, let me help you read the account book Bar."
