The Queen of Qing Dynasty is beautiful and kind

Chapter 122
When the twelfth lunar month comes, the pleasant fragrance of wintersweet flowers can be smelled everywhere in Si Age's mansion.

When Gu Qinghuan got up early in the morning, he heard the sound of Ah Shuang sweeping snow outside.

"A Shuang?"

Gu Qinghuan pushed open the door, and saw that the snow on the road outside the door had been swept away by Ah Shuang.The road has been exposed, and it is obvious that walking on it will not slip.

"Sister Qinghuan is up." A Shuang looked at the ground that had been swept almost, put down the broom in her hand, and trotted towards Gu Qinghuan.

By the way, I rubbed my hands.

It's a bit colder, the weather.

"You got up so early..." Gu Qinghuan looked at Ah Shuang's bright eyes, and said, "Did you sleep well?"

"Sleep well."

Ah Shuang said seriously: "Grandpa Su ordered that the snow should be cleaned in time. Otherwise, if you walk on it after it freezes, you will fall."

"It's okay to get up early."

"Thank you." Gu Qinghuan patted Ah Shuang's head, and said, "I'm going out to buy some things later. Is there anything you want to buy? Let me buy it for you?"

As soon as Ah Shuang heard that Gu Qinghuan was able to leave the house, she immediately became interested.

"I..." Ah Shuang thought about it seriously, and then said, "I want to eat roasted sweet potatoes..."

Sweet roasted sweet potatoes are perfect for winter.

"Okay." Gu Qinghuan immediately agreed.Immediately after finishing the morning's work, he went out of the house.

A few days ago, Gu Qinghuan sent a letter back home, saying that when she went out to buy things today, she would just catch up with Gu's lunch.By the way, I can go back home to eat.

It's been a long time since she had lunch with her family.

In front of the gate of Gu's mansion, the manager, Ah Fu, has been waiting for a long time.

Seeing Gu Qinghuan coming back, he immediately greeted him.

"The girl is back." Ah Fu took several large and small paper bags from Gu Qinghuan's hand, and said, "I'll come back when I come back, and bring so many things back."

"They are all snacks that may be used during the New Year's Eve."

Gu Qinghuan hurriedly asked: "I heard that Ama was transferred to an official position, did she do the posting?"

In the early years, Gu Qinghuan's Ama was the secretary of the Honglu Temple, and was mainly responsible for some diplomatic matters.Because he made a mistake, he was dismissed from his official position and did some miscellaneous things in the Ministry of Rites.

The function of Honglu Temple was originally similar to that of some in the Ministry of Rites.It's just that there is no way out after all to do chores.

Earlier, Gu Qinghuan heard from her mother-in-law, Mrs. Zhang, that Ama was praised by the Minister of Rites.Now it seems that Shi Que has been transferred to the pen post style.

Although the pen post style is just an official of the sixth rank, it is actually very important to collect, organize, register and archive the work.

And... the pen post style has an advantage, that is, it is easy to get promoted.Therefore, Gu Qinghuan felt that the future of her Ah Ma might gradually get better.

"That's right, the master is doing the post-writing in the Ministry of Rites."

Ah Fu was in a good mood when he mentioned this.Of course he is very happy to see the club he has been with for decades getting better and better.

"Yeah." Gu Qinghuan also nodded in agreement, and quickly entered the room.

Inside the house, Mrs. Zhang was also waiting with Gu Qingxu.The two of them were at the bottom of the veranda, and when they saw Gu Qinghuan coming back, they rushed up to greet him.

"My sister is back."

"Qing Huan is back."

The two pulled Wanwan one left and one right, and they entered the dining hall together.

Gu Qingxu was originally going to take classes in the academy.It's just that, since Gu Qinghuan is back, she will naturally take a break at noon to see her sister.

"What are you having for lunch today?"

Just after Gu Qinghuan finished asking, he saw a figure from behind in the dining room.

The back looked broad, and the braids hung neatly behind.After hearing Gu Qinghuan's voice, he turned his head and looked at Gu Qinghuan.

This is Gu Qinghuan's Ama.

"Ama?" Lu Qinghuan was startled, never expecting to see Ama here.

She, Ama, has always been a conscientious person.In the past, when Gu Qinghuan came back, it was when her Ama was on duty, so the father and daughter had never met each other.

"When you come back, sit down and eat."

Ama Gu Zhaohui said with a gentle smile.Although there were not too many words, Gu Qinghuan could already tell from his eyes that, as an Ama, he cared about his daughter.

This lunch, unexpectedly, had hot pot.

The kind of pot used to boil mutton in a copper pot, but the things cooked are meat, vegetables and so on.

"Sister, it's popular to eat these in the capital recently."

Gu Qingxu took a piece of mutton and put it into Gu Qinghuan's bowl, saying: "Winter is coming, it's just right to eat something warm. When you go back later, you will be warm."

"Isn't that right?" Mrs. Zhang also said: "The fourth elder brother's mansion is no different than other places. You have to be careful in everything. If you come back rarely, eat more."

"Yeah." Gu Qinghuan agreed forcefully, and ate a lot.

In fact... when she was in the fourth elder brother's mansion, she had a good life.

After lunch, Gu Qingxu was going back to the academy, and Gu Zhaohui was going back to the Ministry of Rites to continue busying with his own affairs.After the father and son go out, they will part ways.

At the door, Gu Zhaohui stopped Gu Qinghuan.

"I know everything about foreign languages."

Gu Zhaohui had no expression on his face, but he took out a book from his sleeve and said, "This is about foreign language. You may need it, so take it back and read."

"Ama is at this age, and there is nothing she can do for this family. The situation is a little better now. If you have money in the future, try to keep as much as possible for yourself!"

All these years, licking his face and relying on his daughter to live... He is actually very guilty.

"I know."

Gu Qinghuan silently accepted the books, and said: "Si elder brother told me that Ama is talented. As long as he works hard in his job and keeps his duty, there is actually a great chance of being promoted in the future."

Gu Zhaohui nodded, noncommittal, but still said: "It's nothing to do with promotion or anything. Ama, I just want to contribute to the court."

This is also his lifelong wish.

"Well, take care, Amma."

After Gu Qinghuan finished speaking to Gu Zhaohui, he said to Gu Qingxu: "Brother, take care too."

"Sister, you too." Gu Qingxu was very reluctant to part with Gu Qinghuan, bit his lip, then waved to Gu Qinghuan, watching her go away.

After Gu Qinghuan left, he helped Ah Shuang buy roasted sweet potatoes, and naturally returned to Si Age's residence.

Surprisingly, Yinzhen also came back early today.

Gu Qinghuan saw Xiao Shunzi in the courtyard, and heard that Yinzhen was already reading in the study.When he was busy, he gave the roasted sweet potatoes to Xiao Shunzi and asked him to hand them over to Ah Shuang.

Myself, I went to Yinzhen's place.
