Chapter 264: Coming for us

Wang Qin, Ruan Wu and Han Shi entered the room.

Gu Huayu stood up and greeted: "Aunt Wang, Uncle Five, Uncle Han."

Wang Qin raised the boiled peanuts in his hand and said, "Princess, would you like to have two drinks? We will bring back some food."

Su Er smiled and said, "Have you got the money from Guiyun Pavilion?"

Han Shi responded with a smile: "Shopkeeper Huang from Guiyun Pavilion personally delivered it to the door and said many kind words."

Gu Huayu saw three people holding food in their hands. Said: "Okay, where to eat? Pavilion?"

Wang Qin looked around and said, "The pavilion is cool. How about going to the pavilion?"

Gu Huayu nodded in agreement, "Okay!"

Wang Qin handed the food in his hand to the maid and asked her to put it in the pavilion.

Ruan Wu explained: "Ask the kitchen to cut more **** and get more rock sugar."

The maid replied: "Okay, I understand."

 A few people moved to the pavilion.

Wang Qin walked beside Gu Huayu and said, "Princess, please go to Zhuangzi to discuss the marriage between Qingzhu and your cousin with your second uncle and his wife. Your second uncle and your second uncle's wife have no objections. Let us decide the marriage." , no need to be extravagant.”

 The second uncle and the second aunt are both diligent and frugal people, and their responsibilities are real. But the more this happened, the less Gu Huayu wanted to wrong them.

Gu Huayu nodded and said: "Listen to my second uncle and don't be extravagant and wasteful. We will prepare a dowry for the young couple as the people in the capital marry their daughters.

How we prepare for Qingzhu how people in the capital marry their sons. Marriage is a major event only once in a lifetime, so don't wrong them. "

Wang Qin leaned forward and said, "Everything else is easy to talk about. How should we arrange the wedding house? Should we buy a house now? Where to buy it? How big should we buy it?"

There is no extra yard in Wutong Lane for a wedding room. The house over Mingyue Pavilion is Xiao Shuang's natal family, so it is not suitable for a wedding room.

Gu Huayu thought for a while and said, "Although Qingzhu has lost his citizenship, he will still work in the government in the future. We will move to Yongchun Road next year.

Qingzhu’s house needs to be bought near the old house on Yongchun Road. How big should it be? Just buy a three-bedroom house. If you buy a small house, they might not have enough room to live in when they have children. what do you say? "

Wang Gu said with a smile: "The princess has thought carefully. I will do as the princess said and go there tomorrow to have a look.

By the way, this morning, when Eunuch Gao came to the mansion to deliver the fish charm to the princess, another chamberlain beside the emperor went to the Prime Minister's Palace to declare the imperial edict. The emperor granted marriage to the wise king and Miss Wang San of the Prime Minister's Mansion. "

Gu Huayu discussed this matter with Lu Ziqin, and now that he heard the news, Gu Huayu was not surprised.

Gu Huayu said calmly: "It's expected."

Wang Qin asked: "Do we need to continue to keep an eye on the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

Gu Huayu thought for a while and said: "Take the people back. Before Miss Wang San marries into the Xian Prince's Mansion, the Prime Minister's Mansion should not dare to cause trouble again. They are also afraid that extraneous matters will disturb the marriage."

“That’s right, many women would never dare to think about marrying into the royal family. The people in the prime minister’s palace will definitely cherish this marriage.”

Gu Huayu didn't want to talk more about Wang Peiyun, so she changed the subject and said, "We're here, let's go over."

A few people arrived at the pavilion. The maid and mother-in-law had already warmed up the wine and arranged the food neatly.

Gu Huayu looked around and asked Lonicera beside her, "Where's Shi Niang? Didn't you tell her we were drinking here?"

Ling Dong bent her knees and said, "Back to the princess, Shi Niang heard that everyone was going to have wine in the pavilion, so she immediately ordered Chunmei and the others to slice the meat, prepare charcoal fire, and roast it for the princess to eat."

“Wow, we have barbecue today, perfect!” Gu Huayu said.

After a while, Shi Niang came over with her maid and mother-in-law. The women quickly set up the barbecue grill.

Gu Huayu was so excited that she rolled up her sleeves and went to the battle in person to grill meat for everyone.

Qingzhu came over to help, "Princess, let the little one come, you go and have a rest."

Gu Huayu sprinkled cumin on the barbecue and said, "Go and see if Xiaoshuang and the others have returned home? When they come back, let them eat barbecue together."

After Qingzhu turned around and left, Shi Niang came over with a handful of meat skewers and stood beside Gu Huayu to grill them. "Has their wedding date been set?"

Gu Huayu replied: "Not yet. I'll find the master to choose an auspicious day in the past two days and settle their affairs before the end of the year."

Shi Niang took the cumin bottle from Gu Huayu's hand and sprinkled it on the meat skewers while saying, "The cousin's marriage is completed. You have to worry about the second lady's marriage."

Gu Huayu thought about it, nodded and said: "Yes, the second sister is not young anymore. Let's talk to Aunt Ping some other time and ask Aunt Ping to help take a look."

"Where is the princess herself? When will the matter with Mr. Lu Liu be decided?" Shi Niang asked.

Gu Huayu raised her head to look at Shi Niang, then lowered her head to grill the meat seriously, "My marriage will be discussed after I find out what happened to my father and mother."

"What if we can't find out after a while? Your marriage will also be delayed? There is no conflict between discussing the marriage and finding out the truth, so why can't it be done at the same time? Or does the princess have other concerns?"

Gu Huayu hesitated and said, "Sixth Master is busy with the scientific examination and has no time to think about anything else."

Shi Niang turned the meat skewers over and said, "Then let's wait until the scientific examination is over. Princess, when you meet a good person, you must hold it firmly in your hands. Otherwise, you will miss it for the rest of your life."

Gu Huayu looked up at Shi Niang and asked, "How do you know Lu Liu is a good person?"

Shi Niang said: "The people from Chengguo Duke's Mansion can't be missed."

Gu Huayu stopped what she was doing, stared at Shi Niang and asked, "Are you familiar with the people in the Chengguo Palace?"

Shi Niang’s hand that spread cumin paused and said, “The men in Chengguo’s palace are dedicated and affectionate. Who in the capital doesn’t know that? The princess’s flesh is going to be burnt.”

Shi Niang looked at the meat skewers in Gu Huayu's hand and reminded.

Gu Huayu hurriedly lowered her head and concentrated on the barbecue.

“Xiaoyu, why are you grilling meat tonight?” Gu Chengjuan jumped to Gu Huayu’s side.

Gu Huayu gave some of the roasted meat to Gu Chengjuan, "You guys have worked hard in the shop, let me grill you some kebabs to reward you."

Gu Chengjuan took the meat skewers and started eating. While eating, she said, "Thank you, but I really deserve a reward today."

Gu Huayu roasted the remaining meat and handed it to Qingzhu, asking him to share it with everyone. She picked up a handful of meat skewers and grilled them. While grilling, she asked, "Did you break the record again today?"

 Gu Chengjuan brought a meat skewer to Gu Huayu's mouth. Gu Huayu took one look at it and took a bite from Gu Chengjuan's hand.

Gu Chengjuan took back her hand and continued to eat. As she walked, she said, "Xiaoyu, how many bottles of fragrance do you think I sold today?"

 Gu Huayu looked up at her and asked, "How much?"

"you guess?"

 Gu Huayu thought for a while and said, "Twenty bottles?

Gu Chengjuan shook his head, "No, keep guessing."

Gu Huayu said casually: "Thirty?"

 “No, please continue!”

Gu Huayu looked up at Gu Chengjuan and saw her looking at him with bright eyes. So he said: "Sixty!"

Gu Chengjuan shook his head with a smile.

Gu Huayu was also curious and asked: "How much?"

Gu Chengjuan said with a smile: "Fifty bottles of Nuanyang, thirty-two bottles of Wangyou, a total of eighty-three bottles, including the ones bought by Xiaoshuang, Hongxia and others, today we sold a total of one hundred and fifty-two bottles of incense." Lu. How about it? Isn’t it great? Give me a compliment!”

Gu Huayu smiled and gave her a thumbs up, "Awesome!"

Wan Xiaoshuang said: "In addition to perfume, there are also foundations and rouges. Chengjuan sells the most foundations of various colors. She is the salesperson. She is so amazing. Between the few of us, there are no more." She sells more on her own.”

Gu Huayu gave Gu Chengjuan a thumbs up again, "Awesome!"

Gu Chengjuan bumped Gu Huayu's shoulder with her shoulder, "Master, would you consider giving me a reward?"

Gu Huayu asked while busying with her work: "What do you want? Tell me."

Gu Chengjuan whispered: "I want a skin care product, the kind you gave to your aunt last time."

Gu Huayu turned to look at her and said, "That's anti-aging. You're so young, you can't use it."

 “It’s not for my own use, I use it to give to others.”

 “To whom?” Gu Huayu asked.

Gu Chengjuan said vaguely: "You don't recognize it, is that okay?"

Seeing that Gu Chengjuan didn't want to say more, Gu Huayu nodded and said, "Okay, I'll give it to you tomorrow."

 The group of people played until the time was set and then dispersed.

 The next day, Gu Huayu was awakened by the urgent cry of honeysuckle.

Gu Huayu opened her eyes and saw Lonicera's anxious look and asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"

“Princess, Wu Jun from Uncle Mi’s side is here to report that in the early hours of this morning, the eldest lady accidentally stepped on her foot when she got up to go to the toilet, and then fell down, as if she had fetal force.”

Mi Chen is responsible for security affairs at Mingyue Villa.

When Gu Huayu heard this, she sat up and said, "Go and wait outside and let them prepare the car. I'll be out in a minute."

 Landong nodded in agreement, "Okay, I'll give you the instructions now."

After Lonicera left, Gu Huayu went into the space to get some tools and came out carrying a medical box.

Wang Qin asked: "Princess, do you want me to go with you?"

Gu Huayu shook her head, "No, you can't help if you go, just stay and do your work."

Before getting into the car, Liandong stuffed two buns and a jug of water into Gu Huayu's hands, "Princess, let's eat on the way."

Gu Huayu took it casually and said, "Okay."

Qing Yu was driving. It was still early in the morning and there were not many people on the street. He left the city gate smoothly.

More than a quarter of an hour after the car left the city, Gu Huayu heard the rapid sound of horse hooves heading this way. Where were these people rushing to go so early in the morning?

 Gu Huayu had a bad premonition in her heart. She lifted the curtain and looked outside. She said to Wu Jun, "We won't take the official road anymore. Let's take the small road instead."

Wu Jun looked at Gu Huayu in confusion, "Princess, how can the carriage take the narrow road?"

Gu Huayu jumped out of the car with the medical kit and said to Qing Yu: "Drive the car into the forest, then abandon the car and ride on horseback."

Qingyu had long developed the good habit of obeying Gu Huayu's orders. He immediately followed Gu Huayu's instructions and drove the car into the forest.

Gu Huayu folded some branches at the edge of the forest to cover the traces of the passing car.

 Wu Jun and Qing Yu dismounted the chariot from the horse together.

Gu Huayu walked over and Qingyu handed her the reins of a horse, "Princess, you ride this horse. This horse is more docile."

Gu Huayu nodded and said: "Okay." Gu Huayu took the reins, stuffed a bun into the horse's mouth, and patted the horse with his hand.

 “Let’s go.” After saying that, Gu Huayu got on her horse.

Wu Jun asked: "Princess, why do we take the small road? The main road is not far away."

Qingyu said: "Why do you ask so many questions? The princess said to take the small road, so we just have to obey."

Hearing what Qing Yu said, Wu Jun stopped asking any more questions and rode forward to clear the way.

The three of them walked halfway up the mountain, and the sound of galloping horse hooves could be heard on the official road.

Through the gaps between the trees, you can vaguely see the dark shadows of galloping horses.

Wu Jun asked with a panicked face: "Princess, are these people coming for us?"

Qingyu also looked at Gu Huayu, he also wanted to know the answer.

Gu Huayu shook her head, "I don't know. Seeing that they are moving in such a hurry, it's a good idea for us to make way for them. Let's go."

The three of them followed the path over the mountain and walked forward for about a quarter of an hour. From a distance, they watched a column of people and horses on the official road go and return.

Qing Yu said: "Princess, they seem to be coming for us."

Gu Huayu glanced at the people and horses in the distance and said calmly: "Maybe, let's go. Let's go back early and take the back mountain road into Zhuangzi."

 The three of them walked to the foot of Mingyue Villa, went around the back mountain and entered the village.

Mi Shen got the news and rushed over. After seeing the ceremony, he asked, "Did the princess encounter an accident on the road?"

 Gu Huayu didn't bother to reply to his words, and said as she walked to Gu Chengjiao's yard, "Wu Jun will tell you in detail. Be careful. It's very uneasy outside recently."

Gu Huayu walked to the door of Gu Chengjiao's yard and saw Gu Dechang running around in circles in a hurry.

Gu Huayu shouted: "Dad!"

Gu Dechang turned to look over and breathed a sigh of relief, "Xiaoyu, you are finally here. Hurry up and see your eldest sister."

Gu Huayu stepped into the courtyard and saw that the yard was full of people. When everyone saw her, it was like seeing a savior, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Gu Huayu nodded to everyone and entered the room carrying the medical box.

Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Wan, and Mrs. Jiang stayed in the room, while Hu San knelt beside the bed, held Wan Chengjiao's hand and burst into tears.

Seeing Gu Huayu come in, Mrs. Wan hurriedly said, "Xiaoyu, please show Cheng Jiao quickly."

Gu Huayu stepped forward to check Gu Chengjiao's pulse and said, "Aniang stays here to help, while the others go out and wait. Qingyu, put the medical box on the table and take them out."

Hu San cried and said, "Princess, please let the little one stay, okay?"

Gu Huayu didn't have time to persuade him, so she directly ordered: "Qing Yu, take Hu San down."

Seeing Gu Huayu taking her pulse, Mrs. Wan asked, "Xiaoyu, how are you doing?"

Gu Huayu didn't answer. She took out her stethoscope and listened to the fetal heartbeat. She felt relieved when she saw that the fetal heartbeat was normal. Said: "The child is fine."

 Gu Chengjiao felt relieved after hearing Gu Huayu's words.

“Thank you Xiaoyu, I have a stomachache and thought I had hurt the child.”

Gu Huayu smiled and comforted: "It's okay, the stomach pain started in advance, and the child was anxious to think out the pain caused by uterine contractions.

 In a moment, you have to listen to my instructions and we will welcome the arrival of the little one. "

Gu Chengjiao nodded.

 “You didn’t have breakfast, right?” Gu Huayu asked.

Wanshi took over the words: "I was so scared that I forgot about eating."

After Gu Huayu checked, she said: "It will be a while before the baby is born. Auntie will go and get some food for the eldest sister first. Let me tell you that the eldest sister is fine and is giving birth normally. Let everyone go back first and don't have to stay outside. When eldest sister gives birth, I will go and tell everyone the good news.”

Wanshi felt relieved and went out according to Gu Huayu's instructions to let everyone go back first. She also told Ma Liu to bring some food over.
