First Lady of the Crown Prince

  Chapter 109 Little grandson and grandson (two more in one)

  Gu Jiao returned home, Gu Yan was already up, and was sitting in the main room with the old lady eating sweets and eggs.

   Seeing Gu Jiao enter the house, the old lady quickly pushed the sugar-water egg in front of Gu Yan, and said awe-inspiringly: "I said I won't eat it! You have to honor me!"

  Gu Yan: "..."

  Who is the one who divides his sweet egg in half?

The sugar-water eggs were made by Xue Ningxiang. Of course, the old lady didn't show up, so she urged Gu Yan to ask for it. Xue Ningxiang couldn't resist Gu Yan's little charm at all, so she cooked a big bowl without saying anything. Xiaojingkong and Gu Xiaoshun were also divided into separate parts. Small bowl.

  Gu Xiaoshun ate fast. He had already returned to the house to study his own wood carving. Xiao Jingkong had still practiced exercises on the tree, but he had not started to eat.

  Gu Jiao decisively confiscated the old lady’s sweetened eggs.

  In fact, the old lady who had already eaten a bowl and a half wiped her lips and went back to the house.

  As long as I eat fast enough, Jiaojiao can't catch me!

  Gu Jiao gave the three gifts from the man to the three younger brothers, and displayed the things. Without her asking, the three accurately found what they liked.

  Small Clearance picked up the glittering Huarong Dao and couldn't put it down!

  Gu Yan picked a jade finger made of a thousand-year-old cold jade, which is better than the original one.

  Gu Xiaoshun has a dagger that cuts iron like mud. This dagger is smaller than ordinary daggers, is convenient to carry, and can be used as an excellent carving knife.

  All three are very happy!

  Xue Ningxiang is helping Gu Jiao clean up the backyard.

  Xue Ningxiang would often come to help. In return, Gu Jiao would help Xue Ningxiang to work on the ground, and the old lady would occasionally help Xue Ningxiang look at the children.

  The main reason is that the doggie doesn’t talk much. If you give him a candied fruit, he can lick it all morning. The old lady’s ears are very clean and she naturally feels that the doggie is easy to carry.

  Small headroom is—

  "Auntie! You stole the candied fruit again! Jiaojiao! Auntie ate the candied fruit again! She has eaten five of them today!"

  The small clearance where the old lady grabs the bag just after the exercise: Auntie is too bad! Speaking of not letting you eat, you always eat secretly!

  The old lady shook her hand, the smelly monk...

  Xue Ningxiang came over today to find Gu Jiao for something.

   "Jiao Niang, the second uncle of the dog and baby wrote to the family again, you can read it for me." Xue Ningxiang handed a folded envelope to Gu Jiao.

  Since Gu Jiao followed Xiao Liulang to learn to read, Xue Ningxiang never asked Xiao Liulang to read the letter.

  Gu Jiao opened the letter and glanced at it: "Huh?"

   "What's wrong?" Xue Ningxiang asked.

  Gu Jiao said: "Oh, this letter is different from the previous handwriting, it looks like the second uncle Gouwa wrote it himself."

  Xue Ningxiang’s eyes lit up: "Really? His second uncle can also write?"

Gu Jiao looked at her with a proud look, and couldn't bear to tell her why he could tell that he wrote it himself, because the writing was so ugly, uglier than her writing brush, and the words were very immature. The level of elementary school students is appropriate, but it is enough to be able to express clearly.

  The letter said that the second uncle Gouwa was promoted and became a personal soldier under the lieutenant. Although only a small soldier, it is a great honor to follow the lieutenant.

  It’s just that, in this way, the original plan to visit relatives in the hometown this year will have to be cancelled, and he will follow the deputy general to return to Beijing to report on his work.

  "The lieutenant only brought a hundred soldiers. He is one of them. The opportunity is rare." Gu Jiao said.

However, these words did not comfort Xue Ningxiang, and Xue Ningxiang's expression dimmed: "After the death of his father, the girl most talked about was the second uncle of the dog. Looking back at him, I heard that he might pass by our village this year. Mother is very happy. Lao Han's legs are almost healed. Now he is not coming back. How can you tell me to explain to my mother?"

  Xue Ningxiang is only two years older than Gu Jiao. She was still a young high school student in her previous life, but now she is a wife, mother, and daughter-in-law.

  Gu Jiao didn’t know how to comfort her, so she continued to look down: “Second Uncle Gouwa also sent you the silver, saying that your birthday is coming soon, so you can take the silver to make two sets of jewelry, a total of twenty taels.”

  Xue Ningxiang worried: "Why did he send so much? Did he not eat well? All the money is given to the family!"

  This Gu Jiao knows how to comfort: "Don't worry, he can't be hungry in the barracks, but he has no money to spend, so he sent it all back."

  Xue Ningxiang relieved a little.

  Gu Jiao looked down again: "The dog and his second uncle said that he doesn’t want you to plant the land. The money he gave is enough for you and the aunt and the dog’s flowers. You can rent the land cheaply to the villagers to plant."

  Xue Ningxiang hurriedly said, "How can it be done? You have to save these money and use it for him to marry a wife in the future!"

  Gu Jiao thought, a man wants to make you jewelry, do you really have no other ideas?

  After lunch, Xue Ningxiang went to the bank to fetch the money. The dog hugged her thigh and did not let go. Xue Ningxiang couldn't, so she had to take the dog with her.

  There are not many people in the bank. Xue Ningxiang waited for a while and got twenty taels of silver. She took the silver and put it in the bag. The dog was on her back and the bag was in her arms.

   Coming out of the bank, she was hit by a young man dressed as a scholar.

   "Do you have eyes? How did you walk?" The scholar impatiently patted the arm that was touched by Xue Ningxiang.

  Xue Ningxiang apologized embarrassingly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

  The scholar's companion said: "Forget it, ignore her, and rush to the exam. I can't afford to pay for the delay."

   Xue Ningxiang's face turned pale when she heard that she had to pay.

  Wanxing scholar was persuaded by her companion to leave, Xue Ningxiang breathed a long sigh of relief, but soon she found that her baggage was a little bit wrong, it seemed to be much lighter.

  She was so busy with her hand that she was dumbfounded.

  Her twenty taels of silver are all gone!

  Xue Ningxiang thought of the scholar who was just now, and his eyes changed to catch up: "Wait!"

  The two young men took a step.

  The scholar who hit her turned around and looked at her impatiently: "What are you doing?"

  Xue Ningxiang became bold and said: "You...you stole my silver!"

   "What?" The scholar looked inexplicable, and there was a hint of embarrassment of being wronged.

Xue Ningxiang was always in a nest, eating soft and afraid of hard, it really made her a little scared to confront the two big men, but it was twenty taels of silver, such a large sum of money, the dog’s baby and his second uncle took his life. Earned, she can't let anyone steal it!

   "Just, it's you!" She forced herself to muster her courage, "I just came out of the bank, and I was covered tightly all the way, only when I was hit by you...the money is gone!"

  The scholar rolled up his sleeves to get angry, and his companion grabbed him: "What are you doing? Why bother with an ignorant woman?"

  The scholar hummed: "It's not that I want to care about it, it's someone else who is fooling me!"

  The companion sighed: "Forget it, the exam is important, ignore her."

   "Look at your face, you won't report to the official!" The scholar hummed coldly, and turned to leave with his companion.

  Xue Ningxiang dashed forward and grabbed the scholar's arm: "You give me back the silver!"

   "You're crazy!" The book jumped angrily and flicked her hand away.

   Xue Ningxiang rushed over again.

  The two pulled the tugging room, and the surrounding people gathered around.

The scholar filled in with righteous indignation: "You said that I stole your money, can you show me the evidence? If you abuse me again, I will report to the official! Thinking you are a woman, and carrying a child on your back, it's still as honest as you. Bring a child. Don't you feel ashamed to do such abusive things?"

   "You...you..." Xue Ningxiang turned green when he said that.

  The people around began to point and point.

  In today's world, men are superior to women, not to mention that everyone is inferior only to study high. If a little widow meets a scholar, no one will believe in Xue Ningxiang at all.

  The scholar said with grief: “I’m kind enough not to report to the officials. First, I think you are a woman, and second, it’s also because we are going to the township exam in a hurry, so I don’t have the time to talk to you!”

   "It's too much, why did she even mistaken the students who rushed for the exam? Is there any conscience?"

   "Isn't it? People studied hard for ten years, just to be mistaken by her?"

   "It's not a good thing to look at her!"

  Passers-by accused Xue Ningxiang of coming, and Xue Ningxiang’s grievances burst into tears. She didn’t blame them. She really lost her money...

  Gouwa was originally asleep, but was also woken up now.

  Seeing that he and his mother were surrounded by a bunch of people, he burst into tears in fear.

  Director Li just came out of the dim sum shop and was about to go to the town’s medical clinic when he heard a heart-piercing cry.

  This sound is a bit familiar, Dean Li paused and walked over.

  Xue Ningxiang was poked at the backbone by everyone, and no one believed what she said.

   Dean Li quickly recognized her, the neighbor of Aitu's house! Then I recognized the dog baby, the little fat man named his dad.

   Dean Li walked into the crowd. He was the dean of Tianxiang Academy. Even if he didn’t wear the clothes of a master, the scholarly and extravagance of that suit still suppressed the scene in an instant.

   "What happened?" he asked.

  Xue Ningxiang was already crying.

  The scholar said: "This little woman is false to me!"

   Dean Li asked: "What did she false to you?"

  The scholar replied angrily: "She said I stole his silver!"

   Dean Li said again: "Then you stole it?"

  The scholar exploded: "What are you talking about? Of course I didn't steal it! She said that she was false to me. Didn't you hear?"

  An aunt who watched the excitement said: "Yes, the two of them are students who are going to the provincial capital to rush the exam. It's really unlucky, and this lady has taken it up."

Dean Li looked up and down the two of them: "Which private school do you belong to?"

  The scholar straightened up and said: "We are from Tianxiang Academy!"

   Dean Li's eyes squinted slightly: "Really? What's your name? Which class?"

   "What are you doing?" the scholar asked impatiently.

   Dean Li smiled faintly: "I am the dean of Tianxiang Academy. I don't remember that the Academy accepted you two students."

  The faces of the scholar and his companions changed drastically.

  The people around were surprised.

   Dean Li calmly said to a young guy next to him: "I bother my little brother to report to an official, saying that someone here pretends to be a student of Tianxiang Academy to slander and bully women and children."

  Those two yelled a lot, but they didn’t report to the official for a long time. He reported to the official as soon as he came. Seeing who is true and who is false will immediately know the answer!

  The young boy was full of words floating in his head: Dean Li talked to me! Dean Li talked to me!

   "Please, little brother." Dean Li said gently.

  The young guy solemnly responded, and rushed towards the county government.

  This is the big water rushing into the Dragon King Temple. When the scholar and his companions saw something bad, they ran away.

   Dean Li said unhurriedly: "Thank you two strong men to stop them."

  His words did not have a semi-commanding tone, but they were inexplicably convincing.

  Two brawny men who watched the excitement captured them in one go.

  "Me, my silver..." Xue Ningxiang cried.

Dean Li nodded slightly, stepped forward, and found Xue Ningxiang's silver on the two of them.

   Seeing the lost silver, Xue Ningxiang cried and became excited, but he started to hiccup: "Much...hiccup! Thank you...hiccup!"

   "Father!" Gouwa saw Dean Li.

  Xue Ningxiang was so shocked that she stopped belching.

  This baby, confessing her father randomly!

Dean Li is a mature and experienced man. Of course he won’t get angry because of such trivial matters. He has asked the experienced master in the college. When a child is just learning to talk, he will call his mother when he catches a woman, and he will call his father when he catches a man. What a rare thing.

   "Father." The dog asked him to hug.

  Xue Ningxiang was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a place to sew in.

   "You are injured." Dean Li saw the inch-long opening in her wrist, bleeding violently.

  Just then he just wanted to get the money back, but didn't notice that his wrist was scratched on the other party's accessories.

   Dean Li said politely: "Give me the child. The hospital is nearby. I will take you to bandage it."

  Xue Ningxiang hurriedly covered his wrist with his sleeve: "No, no, no minor injury."

   Dean Li sternly said: "It still depends. The weather is hot and it is easy to get infected."

  Xue Ningxiang thought for a while: "I will go by myself."

   "I happen to be going to the hospital too, just on the way." Dean Li said, and hugged the dog who kept reaching for him.

  The dog baby has a father, and immediately becomes a mother. Her little fleshy hands encircled Dean Li’s neck and buried her head in his arms to act like a baby.

  Xue Ningxiang is not good enough.

  The two went to the hospital one after another.

   Dean Li sent his old mother to the hospital. The reason was that when the young man was cleaning the yard, he found that the old mother had eaten half of the mulberry and suddenly fainted on the wicker chair.

  Old Mrs. Li is getting older. This situation is very dangerous. Dean Li can’t wait to invite the doctor to the house and send the people over.

  After reading it, the doctor said, “It’s okay, the old lady just fell asleep.”

   Dean Li on the spot: "..."

  He was worried that Mrs. Li would be hungry when she woke up, so he hurried to a nearby dim sum shop and bought some sweet-scented osmanthus cakes that the elderly loved.

  After entering the hospital, Dean Li found a doctor to treat Xue Ningxiang for the injury, and the dog was pushed on the chair by Xue Ningxiang.

   Dean Li took a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake for the dog.

  Gouwa feasted on it.

  He was eating, and when he looked up, he found that Dad was gone.

  He climbed down from the chair and went to look for his father sloppily, only to follow him into a wing room.

  The old lady Li woke up faintly, and when she opened it, she saw a small beanie.

   Xiaodouding is chubby, round and cute.

  The old lady Li waved to Xiaodouding.

   Gouwa was timid, and she backed away in fright. It happened that Dean Li walked out from behind the Bisha cupboard, and the little doggie slipped over and hugged his thigh: "Father...Father..."

  Father?

  The old lady Li looked at her son, and then at Xiaodouding, her muddy old eyes brightened.

  Bodhisattva manifestation!

  She has a grandson!

  Because Gu Jiao refused to return home, the return of Gu Houye and Gu Jinyu to Beijing was also delayed.

  Originally Gu Houye planned to bring Yao and Longfeng Tire back to Beijing at the end of June at the latest. However, Yao and Gu Yan are staying here for Gu Jiao, which makes Gu Houye very distressed.

   Gu Jinyu is even more troubled.

Concubine Shu promised to hold the ceremony for her, and canonized her as the county head at the ceremony.

  The county owner is a rare honor. As long as you become the county owner, you won’t lose your value even if you don’t have the flesh and blood of the Gu family in the future.

   But if she can’t go back, what about the gift?

  Gu Jinyu was anxious to get angry, and a bubble formed on her mouth.

  Master Gu Hou came to visit her, and saw that she became so upset that she was very distressed: "How do you serve the young lady? The weather is so hot, don’t you know how to cook less spicy dishes?"

  The little maid said: "I’m wronged, Lord Hou, the lady’s recent diet is very light, and the lady got caught up with her feelings of depression."

  Gu Jinyu sighed: "Don't talk nonsense, you guys, get back."

"Yes."

  The maids retired.

  Gu Jinyu said to Master Gu Hou: "Daddy, my daughter is really fine."

  Gu Houye frowned and said: "Nonsense, you just have something on your mind, you haven't laughed anymore recently."

  Gu Jinyu lowered her eyes: "Daughter just missed her grandmother. Grandmother was too old and fell down again a year ago. Although she was cured, her body and bones don’t have to be before. My daughter doesn’t know how much filial piety she can still do with her grandmother."

  This talked about the heart of Master Gu Hou, Master Gu is usually filial, not to mention that the old lady has only two children left in her life: he and Concubine Shu.

Concubine Shu entered the palace. It is rare for the old lady to see her once a year. Her own son can't serve his mother in front of her, and it's not filial to think about it.

  Gu Houye frowned and decided to put some eye drops on Yao's.

  I don’t know that Yao’s heart is like a rock: "If I don’t go back, Yan'er won’t go back either."

  Master Gu Hou sighed: "How many years have my mother seen Yan'er?"

  Yao said: "Left but she doesn't wait to see Yan'er."

  Gu Houye retorted: "When will my mother not wait to see Yan'er? Yan'er is her grandson, and it is too late for her to love him."

  It’s just not as good as hurting the first three grandchildren.

  The former Madam Hou and the old lady are of the same clan and family, and the old lady must be called to her aunt according to seniority. The marriage of the two families is considered to be a pro-superior pro-mother, and her child, the old lady, naturally feels a little bitter.

  In addition to the fact that the three sons had lost their mothers early, the old lady was too distressed.

  The third is that the old lady doesn’t look down on Yao’s origin. Yao gave birth to a sick Gu Yan, and the old lady felt that Yao’s own body was ill, which affected the children and grandchildren of the Gu family.

  The old lady was not lukewarm to Gu Jinyu at first, but Gu Jinyu was so good, she gave the Hou Mansion a face, and Concubine Shu also valued her, and the old lady gradually changed her outlook on Gu Jinyu.

  Gu Houye didn’t have much confidence in those rebuttals. He cleared his throat and said, “But Jinyu is about to make the gift. What if her mother is not by her side when she is ready for the gift?"

  Yao said: "That's the same in the villa."

  Gu Hou Master said: "I can't stay in the villa all the time, mother is here, dad must be there too."

  Yao thought for a while: "Why don't you go back to the capital first and come back later on that day?"

  Gu Houye: "..."

  Why is it so difficult to abduct your wife and children back to the capital?

  Gu Houye used eighteen martial arts, and Yao did not let go.

  Gu Houye: "How on earth are you willing to return to the capital?"

  Yao seriously said, "Jiaojiao will return, and I will return."

  Gu Houye: How could that girl come back!

  Gu Jinyu came over to give Yao’s ginseng soup, and inadvertently heard the conversation between the two outside the door.

  The little maid is also there.

  The little maid serves Gu Jinyu personally, and she already knows the life experience of her and Gu Jiao.

  The little maid expressed injustice for her master: "Why does the eldest go back to the capital and the husband returns to the capital? Isn’t the second lady’s child? It’s the second lady who has been doing his filial piety in front of the lady these years, the lady is too partial!"

  Gu Jinyu held the ginseng soup in the tray without speaking.

  The little maid said aggrieved: “It’s a hot day. The second lady even went to the kitchen to boil ginseng soup for his wife, and her hands were burned. What did that lady do? It made her so partial...”

  "Don't say it, she is my sister. She has suffered a lot, and it is right for my mother to love her." Gu Jinyu said, leaving with a dim look.

  For a few days, no one in the mansion mentioned the matter of returning to Beijing, and the villa seemed to have returned to a peaceful and peaceful day.

  Until the end of the month, a pair of carriages and horses came to the villa, which broke the tranquility of the villa for many days.

  Gu Houye put on his official uniform, arranged his appearance, and personally went to the gate of the villa to welcome him.

  Dozens of guards lined up, and a young man dressed in white slowly walked down from a carriage pulled by four horses.

  A young boy in white clothes is like snow, and he is so pure and precious.

  Master Gu slapped off the wide sleeves of the official uniform, stepped forward, and said, "Chen, see King An!"

The young man called the King of County An raised his hand slightly, and said coldly and politely: "Ding'an Hou don't need to be polite. My sister and I traveled all over the country. This time I hurried back to Beijing to try out. Passing by, Suddenly coming to the house to harass, I hope Ding Anhou don’t blame it."

  Gu Houye smiled and said: "The King of Anjun is serious, and it is an honor for the King of An and his sister to come to the humble house! It is hot, it is better for the King of An and Miss Zhuang to move to the villa and talk in the house."

  Anjun Wang nodded, turned his head slightly, and said to the carriageway behind him: "Don't get out of the car soon?"

  The car curtain was lifted, and an eccentric little girl stretched her head out, her eyes rolled around twice, seemingly curious, and then she jumped down with the help of her servant.

  She came to King An Jun: "Brother! Is this the villa with hot springs?"

  "I have seen Ding'anhou." King Anjun said to his sister.

  The little girl pouted her lips and made a gesture to bow to Master Gu Hou.

  The title of Lord Gu’s Lord is under the King of Anjun. Although the little girl is his sister, she has no rank. According to the rules, she should indeed salute Lord Gu.

  It’s just that, regardless of etiquette, the little girl’s identity is really precious. Although her elder brother’s dignity salutes her, her attitude is not much respectful.

  Gu Houye smiled, as if he hadn’t seen him, and happily led the brother and sister into the villa.

  In the villa, the Yao family and Gu Jinyu also got the news. They are female relatives and it is inconvenient to go out to meet each other, so they waited for the Anjun King to drive in the flower hall of Tingtao Pavilion.

  Yao has been away from Beijing for many years, and he is indifferent to the situation in Beijing. He has never heard of the Anjun king. Gu Jinyu patiently told her about the legendary life of the Anjun king.

  "He is the grandson of Taifu Zhuang, only 18 years old this year."

   "Has the eighteenth enshrined the king?" Yao's family was surprised, even the prince and prince rarely canonised it so early.

  Gu Jinyu shook his head: "He is not the eighteenth person who canonized the county king, he was canonized when he was eight years old."

  However, this canonization is not his luck, on the contrary, it is his misfortune.

  Ten years ago, Zhao Guo fought against Chen Guo. Zhao Guo lost. Chen Guo proposed to use Zhao Guo's prince as the hostage. The emperor was reluctant to bear his son, and the court officials also all opposed. At this time, Mrs. Zhuang stepped forward and was willing to let one of his best grandchildren go to Chen Guo as a proton for the prince.

  If it were the sons and grandsons of the ministers next to him, Chen Guo would probably not agree, but the dealer is the mother of the queen dowager, Taifu Zhuang is the empress dowager’s elder brother, and his grandson is the empress dowager’s grandnephew.

  Everyone knows that Empress Dowager Zhuang has been listening to politics for many years, and her power is in the hands of the ruling party. She has a higher real power than the emperor. She is indeed not inferior to the prince with her grand-nephew as the quality.

  The emperor then canonized the grandson of Taifu Zhuang as the king of Anjun, and entered the country of Chen as the prince.

   Until more than three years ago, the two countries fought again. This time Chen Guo lost, and King Anjun finally returned to Zhao Guo.

  There are many stories about King An Jun in the capital. Gu Jinyu has heard about it, but has never seen him personally.

  She is curious in her heart, but on the face she is polite and respectful.

  After Gu Houye and his party finally arrived at the Flower Hall, the Yao family and Gu Jinyu saluted King An.

  Yao's eyebrows were drooping from beginning to end. Gu Jinyu was young, and no matter how well he did his face, he couldn't hold back his curiosity and glanced at the other party.

   Then she was stunned.

  How could there be such a handsome man in the world?

  Clear and noble, not arrogant, elegant and deep, all gestures are expensive, and there is also a hint of immortality.

   "This is my wife Yao, this is a little girl." Gu Houye introduced.

  Anjun Wang nodded slightly: "Mrs. Gu, Miss Gu."

  Ms. Zhuang came up: "You are Gu Jinyu? I know you!"

  Gu Jinyu was taken aback for a moment.

  Yao and Gu Houye also looked at Ms. Zhuang in amazement.

  Ms. Zhuang raised her eyebrows and said: "My fourth uncle praised your handwriting, saying that among people my age, your handwriting is the best!"

  Ms. Zhuang’s fourth uncle is exactly Zhuang Xianzhi, the governor of Pingcheng Mansion.

  Ms. Zhuang smiled coldly: "Heh, get a pen! I want to compare with you!"
