Chapter 199 Sharing worries

From the moment Gu Huayu entered the house, she never gave Mrs. Wang a serious look.

Wang wanted to talk to her several times, but Gu Huayu pretended not to see her and regarded her as nothing.

Before Chaoyang could reply, Mrs. Wang smiled and said to Gu Huayu, "Hello, Xiaoyu. I haven't seen you for a few years. Xiaoyu looks better than before."

Gu Huayu sighed secretly, she still underestimated Wang's shamelessness.

Gu Huayu twitched the corners of her lips and said with a dry smile: "Since the second sister-in-law is here, just stay here peacefully."

Wang responded with an apologetic smile: "Yes, stay in peace."

Gu Huayu said to Gu Chengnan: "Second brother, you go and have a rest first. If you have anything to say, we'll talk about it tomorrow."

Gu Chengnan nodded, held Chu Yi's hand and said, "Ji Yi, say goodbye to my sister-in-law."

On the first day of the new year, he bowed his hands to Gu Huayu and said goodbye, "Sister-in-law, I'll see you tomorrow."

Gu Huayu rubbed Chuyi's head and said warmly: "See you tomorrow, have a good sleep tonight. My sister-in-law will give you sweets tomorrow."

  The first day of the month said ok with a smile.

Gu Chengjiao, Wan Xiaoshuang, and Wang followed Chaoyang out.

Gu Chengnan led Chu Yi and fell behind. When Wang went out, Gu Chengnan turned around and looked at Gu Huayu.

Gu Huayu asked: "Second brother, is there something wrong?"

Gu Chengnan scratched his head in embarrassment and asked: "Xiaoyu, is there an empty room in the outer courtyard? I want to take the first grader to sleep in the outer courtyard."

Gu Huayu was stunned for a moment, then asked: "You and your second sister-in-law sleep in separate rooms?"

Gu Chengnan nodded and replied: "Yes! After she gave birth to the first grade of junior high school, we slept separately."

"Why? Because of the family separation? Is the Wang family still making trouble?" Gu Huayu asked.

Gu Chengnan looked at Chu Yi, smiled bitterly, and shook his head, "No, because of other things."

Seeing that Gu Chengnan didn't want to say more in front of the first grader, Gu Huayu stopped asking and replied: "There are many empty rooms in the outer courtyard. Second brother, come with me."

Gu Huayu took Gu Chengnan to the west wing and said as they walked: "The east and west wings of this house have the same structure, each with six rooms.

 The seventh brother lived in the east chamber, and the sixth brother also lived in the east chamber from now on.

 From now on, the second brother took Chu Yi to live in the west wing. The first year of junior high school is already over four years old, and it’s time for enlightenment. I have already given instructions to invite a gentleman to come back and teach the first grade students. "

Gu Chengnan said gratefully: "Xiaoyu, thank you."

Gu Huayu smiled and said: "My brothers and sisters, I just said thank you and went away. Have you been the one to take care of the first grade students all these years?"

Gu Chengnan looked back at Gu Huayu, nodded and said: "I will keep your words in mind. I am afraid that she will take the first grade of junior high school astray, and I dare not let her take care of the first grade of junior high school. I will take the first grade of junior high school with me wherever I go."

"It's hard to do things and take care of children at the same time, isn't it?" Gu Huayu held Chu Yi's hand and walked forward side by side, asking as she walked.

Gu Chengnan smiled and shook his head, "It's not bitter! Watching the first year of junior high school grow up makes my heart sweet."

 Gu Huayu saw the satisfied smile on Gu Chengnan's face and smiled.

After settling Gu Chengnan and his son, Gu Huayu returned to his small courtyard. Seeing Gu Chengjiao standing at the door of the courtyard, she asked, "Sister, what do you want from me?"

Gu Chengjiao nodded. Gu Huayu stepped in and said, "Sister, please come to the room."

Gu Chengjiao followed him into the room. Gu Huayu poured a cup of tea for Gu Chengjiao and said, "Sister, sit down and drink tea."

Gu Chengjiao sat down, holding the teacup in her hand, and said apologetically: "Xiaoyu, if Mrs. Wang comes here, will it cause you any trouble?"

Gu Huayu smiled, shook her head, and said, "It's okay. It's just a matter of multiple pairs of chopsticks for more than one person. Sister, please relax."

Gu Chengjiao lowered his head and said, "If it were someone else, it might be a matter of having multiple pairs of chopsticks. But Mrs. Wang is too trouble-making, and I'm worried that she will cause trouble for you.

She is coming to the capital. If she is not allowed to come, I am worried that she will disturb the peace in the family, so I have to let her come with her..."

Gu Chengjiao’s brows were knotted with guilt.

Gu Huayu held Gu Chengjiao's hand and said comfortingly: "Eldest sister is right. If the Wang family is coming, eldest sister should bring her here, so as not to cause her to act like a monster at home and make her grandfather and the others uneasy.

 Sister, what happened to the second brother and the Wang family? The second brother took the first grade of junior high school to live in the front yard instead of living with Mr. Wang. "

There were some things that Gu Huayu couldn't ask Gu Chengnan, so she turned to Gu Chengjiao to ask.

Gu Chengjiao sighed and said, "It's a long story, I only found out about it after taking Hu three times.

The first night Hu San and I rested at home, Mrs. Wang made trouble with Brother Nan and wanted to live in Brother Nan's room. Brother Nan bolted the door and let Wang smash the door loudly, but did not open the door. .

I asked my mother-in-law, and she said that after the birth of Chu, Brother Nan and Mrs. Wang slept in separate rooms.

Because of this, Mrs. Wang had many quarrels, but Brother Nan was determined to ignore her and let her make trouble. When Mrs. Wang saw that Brother Nan ignored her, the trouble stopped after a while.

Later on, whenever guests came to the house, Wang would make a fuss. She thought that Brother Nan would pay attention to her for the sake of face, but he still ignored her. "

After hearing this, Gu Huayu frowned and said, "Second brother won't do this for no reason. Did something happen between them?"

Gu Chengjiao said: "I asked my mother about this, and she said that the Wang family was dissatisfied with the separation of the family, saying that there were so many brothers and sisters, but you were the only one who was special.

He also scolded Brother Nan for not fighting or grabbing, for living a useless life and letting others take advantage of him.

 Wang scolded her all day long during confinement, and her mother came to see her. She watched her mother cry, and her mother gave her advice, telling her to stop nursing the baby and leave the baby behind and go home with her.

Wang listened to her mother and left the first grade of junior high school to follow her mother back.

Brother Nan stopped her from going back, so she couldn't leave during the day. At night, Mrs. Wang secretly ran back to her parents' house while everyone was sleeping.

 Brother Nan went to pick her up the next day, but she avoided seeing him.

 Brother Nan had no choice but to come back.

The second aunt was very angry and forbade Brother Nan from picking up the Wang family again.

 Looking around for any wives nearby who have breastfed children, and then holding Chu Yi in his arms, he went to beg someone to give Chu Yi a sip of milk.

The second aunt and the others found three families nearby that had a baby. Nan Geer carried Chu Yi around in the three houses every day. He had a few bites at this house, and then went to the next house with Chu Yi in his arms.

Wang stayed at her mother's house for more than ten days. When she saw that Brother Nan didn't go to pick her up, she panicked, so her mother sent Wang back. "

Gu Hua was breathless and asked, "It's like this, why don't you just give her up?"

Gu Chengjiao sighed and said, "I said the same thing." Aunt Wang said that when Mrs. Wang came back, she knelt down to admit her mistake to her second uncle and second aunt.

The second uncle and second aunt ignored her, so she went to beg Brother Nan again, but Brother Nan ignored her. Mrs. Wang became angry and threatened that if Brother Nan divorced her, she would die with the Gu family with a packet of medicine.

Brother Nan was afraid that she would hurt her family, so he had to let her go home.

 Sigh, Brother Nan will have a hard life when he meets such an unreasonable person. "

Gu Huayu poured herself a cup of tea and drank several sips in one breath before suppressing the anger in her heart.

Gu Chengjiao took a sip of tea and continued: "She learned that Hu San and I were coming to the capital, and she clamored to come to the capital. Brother Nan didn't agree, so she repeated her old tricks and cried and made trouble at home.

You said, the first year is so big, she rolled on the ground, what is it like?

Aniang said that if Brother Nan didn't let her come to the capital, she would have to suffer a lot in the future.

 Brother Nan decided to come to the capital for the first year of junior high school.

The villagers said that Brother Nan was too honest and too soft-hearted, so the Wang family dared to be so presumptuous.

If Brother Nan beat Ms. Wang as hard as Xing'er's father beat Xing'er's mother, Ms. Wang would not dare to go crazy. "

Gu Huayu said: "Domestic violence is not advisable. Ms. Wang has indeed gone too far. I know about this matter. Don't worry, eldest sister, I will handle it."

"Okay, it's getting late. I'm going back. Xiaoyu, please rest early."

Gu Chengjiao stood up and said goodbye.

  After sending Gu Chengjiao away, Gu Hua had to practice concealed weapons in the courtyard. After throwing away a set of silver needles, the anger she was holding in her heart was still there.

"What's wrong, Miss? You're full of rage. I was almost stabbed." Hua Da came in from outside the courtyard.

Gu Huayu stopped her hand, turned her head and looked over, and asked, "Why are you here?"

 Hua Da bowed and replied: "I received a tip-off that Hua Ruiming and the second master of the British government are inquiring about the whereabouts of the young lady."

Gu Huayu walked towards the hall, Hua Da followed behind.

"Nothing, let them inquire. Keep an eye on the horse trading at the gambling house and Taipu Temple."

"Yes, I understand. Is the young lady encountering something troublesome?" Hua Day asked after answering.

Gu Huayu told Wang's story and took a sip of tea in great boredom.

Hua Daqian said: "This person is so ignorant."

Gu Huayu nodded and said, "Second brother's heart is too soft, it's really pitiful."

Hua Da comforted him and said, "Miss, don't feel sad for such villains, let me handle this matter.

 It won’t be long before Mr. Wang will take the initiative to ask for a letter of divorce from his second master. "

"Really? What's the solution? Uncle Hua is sure?" Gu Huayu raised her head and looked at Hua Da, her eyes filled with earnestness.

Hua laughed and said, "It's just some unflattering tricks. Miss, you don't need to ask, so as not to taint your ears."

Gu Huayu nodded and said, "For Chu Yi's sake, let her live first."

Hua Da bowed and said, "Okay, I will follow the young lady's instructions."

Lu Ziqin went to the palace. The emperor was discussing matters with his ministers in the imperial study. Eunuch Gao took Lu Ziqin to the side hall and said, "Sixth Master is waiting here. The emperor's side is almost over."

Lu Ziqin bowed and thanked him.

Eunuch Gao said: "Sixth Master will sit down first. Our family will go to the Emperor's side first. After the Emperor's side is over, our family will come over and call Sixth Master."

Lu Ziqin leaned forward and said, "Thank you, father-in-law."

After Eunuch Gao left, Lu Ziqin took a book and looked at it. Before Eunuch Gao came to call him, he waited for the wise king.

 “Zi Qin has come to pay his respects to his father?”

Hearing the voice, Lu Ziqin put down the book in his hand and stood up to pay homage to the wise king.

The wise king nodded and sat down next to Lu Ziqin. Said: "Is Ziqin okay?

 You didn't go to see the dragon boat the day before yesterday, so I learned that you were banned by your grandfather.

I wanted to break up the morning court and go see you, but I didn’t know that my mother-in-law has a headache today. No, I just came out of Yongning Palace and met Ru’an at the gate of the palace, and I didn’t know that you had entered the palace. "

As soon as the wise king sat down, he could explain everything.

From the moment King Xian entered the side hall, Lu Ziqin had a vague smile on his face.

 After the wise king finished speaking, Lu Ziqin leaned forward and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Lu Ziqin seemed to be respectful and courteous, but Xian Wang felt a bit alienated, not as close as he had been a few years ago.

The wise king tried to eliminate the sense of distance between us, waving his hands and saying, "There is no need for this word of thanks between us."

Lu Ziqin bowed slightly and said, "It is Ziqin's fault that the prince is worried about Ziqin."

"Hey, the wise king is here too. The emperor is done with his work. Please come with us." Eunuch Gao came in and said with a smile.

 The two of them got up and followed Eunuch Gao to the imperial study room.

After the two of them bowed, the emperor turned his attention to the wise king and asked, "Is your mother and concubine feeling better?"

The wise king leaned forward and said, "Go back to my father. My mother and concubine are much better after taking the medicine prescribed by Dr. Xu."

The emperor nodded and said, "That's good. I'll come to the palace to talk to your mother and concubine more when I have time."

The wise king bowed and responded: "Yes, I have recorded it."

The emperor turned his attention to Lu Ziqin and asked, "What are Ziqin's plans when he returns from his travels?"

The wise king said before Lu Ziqin could do it: "Father, after Ziqin returned to the capital, he first held a crown ceremony, and then discussed marriage with the third lady of the Wang Xiangfu. One big event that shocked the capital was one after another. Now, Ziqin But he is a man of the hour in the capital."

 The emperor glanced at the wise king coldly.

The wise king lowered his head in embarrassment, bowed and said, "I'm sorry, I have overstepped my bounds. Please punish me, Father."

The emperor returned his attention to Lu Ziqin.

Lu Ziqin leaned forward and said: "Back to the emperor, I plan to spend my life studying for my homework and take part in the scientific examination next year."

The emperor nodded and asked Wen Yan: "I remember, you are already a child-raiser? I remember correctly, right?" The emperor looked at Eunuch Gao after saying this.

Eunuch Gao leaned forward and said, "Your Majesty has a good memory. Mr. Liu passed the examination five years ago."

The wise king interrupted: "Is Ziqin going to end? Aren't you going to the military camp?"

 “Zi Qin plans to go to the military camp?” the emperor asked in surprise.

Lu Ziqin didn't understand why the wise king mentioned the matter of leaving the military camp before the emperor, so he leaned back and said: "Back to the emperor, when my grandfather died, my grandfather mentioned this matter to Ziqin. It was only mentioned, but it was not finalized.

Grandfather was also worried about Ziqin's future and wanted to see which path was more suitable for Ziqin. "

The emperor frowned slightly and said, "You have been weak since you were a child and have never practiced martial arts. How can you go to the military camp? What a nonsense!"

Lu Ziqin lowered his head and did not answer.

The King Xian said: "I think it is not appropriate for Ziqin to go to the military camp. I think it is more appropriate for Ziqin to go to the palace of King Xian to be a long history officer."

The emperor looked at the wise king and said: "There are too many trivial things in your palace. Ziqin went to you to be a long history, how could he have time to write books?

Since Ziqin has decided to die, he should be well prepared. From now on, those in the literary and flower clubs in your house should call Ziqin less and don’t delay him. "

The King Xian wanted to seize the opportunity to take Ziqin over, but his father refused him on the spot and told him not to disturb Lu Ziqin in the future.

The wise king regretted it very much. If he had known this, he should not have mentioned the matter of the military camp.

The wise king leaned forward and said, "Yes, I have written it down."

After finishing speaking, the wise king looked at Lu Ziqin and said, "I heard from my grandfather that your wedding is scheduled for the twelfth lunar month, and you have a big wedding and a scientific examination. Aren't you very busy?"

Lü Ziqin was worried about how to mention this matter to the emperor, but he didn't expect the wise king to hand him over.

Lu Ziqin sighed with a sad face and said, "My grandfather decided on this marriage with the Prime Minister.

 According to Ziqin's opinion, the marriage should be discussed a year later.

Grandfather's greatest wish during his lifetime was that Ziqin would succeed in his studies, be named on the gold medal list, and be used by the imperial court in the future to relieve the emperor's worries.

 This year, Ziqin just wanted to live a good life and study and fulfill his grandfather's last wish. "
