Chapter 241 Offering
Out of the palace, Gu Jinzhi and Zhu Zhongjun went to the old house again.
Gu Yantao is not at home.
The lady came out to greet them and was a little surprised.
Gu Jinzhi came yesterday and came again today, which is unusual.
"But what's the matter?" The old lady invited Gu Jinzhi and Zhu Zhongjun to sit in the upper room. After the maids had tea, they came straight to the point.
Zhu Zhongjun ignored it and drank tea in one gulp, looking very thirsty.
Then he took the tea cup to the maid.
The maid was so clever that she hurried to add tea to Zhu Zhongjun.
Gu Jinzhi answered the lady with a smile, "Can't I sit here if I have nothing to do?" I miss you..."
The old lady smiled and gently shaved her face: "Is this mouth smeared with honey today? Let's talk about it. What's going on? Did your eldest brother ask you to do something?
She didn't think about the court, but just thought of Gu Chenzhi.
"No." Gu Jin said, "Uncle, when will uncle come back? I have something to discuss with my uncle..."
The old lady was slightly surprised.
She looked at Gu Jinzhi puzzledly.
Gu Jinzhi asked again, "It's already down. Is uncle in the palace or in the government?"
The old lady was confused. Seeing that Gu Jinzhi refused to say anything, she looked like an adult and wanted to laugh.
"Is there really something urgent?" The eldest lady coaxed Gu Jinzhi and said with a smile, "Shall I send someone to look for it?"
Gu Jinzhi said it was good.
The lady didn't know why, but she also took it as a joke. She smiled and told the maid to go to the second door to find a codant and find the old man back.
As he was talking, the fifth girl Gu Pozhi came in.
She was also shocked and asked, "Why is the seventh sister here again?"
The old lady coughed.
The fifth girl also regretted her mistake and stood there with some embarrassment, thinking about how to make up for it.
Gu Jinzhi usually doesn't come to the door. Yesterday came, today came again, which inevitably makes people think that the first lady is sick.
The fifth girl was with the eldest lady for half a year, and she also knew that the eldest lady really loved her and had some feelings, so she lost her words.
Although she was still teased about her future mother-in-law yesterday...
"I'll take a look at my uncle." Gu Jinzhi smiled and said, "Where did the fifth sister come from? My head is sweating..."
The fifth girl just left in a hurry, and her forehead was indeed sweaty.
She sent food to the third grandmother for the eldest lady.
"I went to the third sister-in-law's side." The fifth girl replied.
The old lady took the opportunity to ask about the situation in the pharmacy.
Knowing that he didn't do much business recently, Gu Chenzhi was just learning some basic skills, and the old lady nodded slightly.
Then he asked about the old man's body again.
Song Pan'er came yesterday, and the old lady had already asked.
Gu Jinzhi still answered one by one.
After saying about two tea kung fu, Zhu Zhongjun began to pull Gu Jinzhi's sleeves and looked very impatient.
He has beautiful facial features, but he looks stupid, which reduces his handsome appearance. The fifth girl looked at him foolishly playing with Gu Jinzhi's sleeves and couldn't help sighing in her heart.
For such a fool, Gu Jin's life has been involved. What a pity!
If you change yourself, you would rather not be rich.
"What's wrong?" Gu Jinzhi was not bored. He coaxed the king of Luyang in a low voice and asked him what was going on. He looked very patient, so that the eldest lady and the fifth girl praised her sensible from the bottom of their hearts.
"When are you leaving?" The king of Luyang asked in a low voice.
The lady took the opportunity to say, "I'm afraid the prince is bored. What's wrong with Sister Jin? Tell your aunt, and tell your uncle later?"
Gu Jinzhi did not hesitate. He immediately said, "I'd better talk to my uncle in person..." Then he turned his head, gently pinched the hand of the King of Luyang, and said, "I'll go back in a while, okay?"
King Luyang's expression was a little hurt. Although he was a little reluctant, he still nodded.
When he was unhappy, he pouted, which was very distressing. No wonder the Empress Dowager loved the youngest son so much that the eldest lady couldn't help thinking.
The thought flashed by and turned to Gu Jinzhi.
The old lady finally paid some attention to her intention.
Looking at her like this, it's a very important thing to tell the old man.
What's the matter with the third room? Can a little girl from Gu Jinzhi come forward and talk about it?
It's only about the old man.
The old lady remembered that the old man's longevity was coming to an end during the Spring Festival. She couldn't help but thump in her heart and looked at Gu Jinzhi with a slightly uneasy look: "Sister Jin, does your grandfather have something to say to let you bring it to your uncle?"
Gu Jinzhi was slightly surprised and hurriedly said, "No...no..."
Her expression made the old lady more sure of her guess. It must be the old man's business.
The old lady sat next to Gu Jinzhi, took her hand, and asked her earnestly, "What's wrong with your grandfather?" Good boy, you tell your uncle, isn't it the same as telling your aunt? No matter what happens to my grandfather, I will have to help my aunt do it later..."
The fifth girl is thinking, the old man can't do it, right?
Thinking of this, she was a little happy.
If her grandfather dies, even if they are the second wife, she can also have a biological father who is the prince of the country, which is more glorious.
The fifth girl has not been familiar with the old man since she was a child, except to meet her during the Spring Festival.
Every time we meet, the old man says that it is lonely and difficult to get close to.
The fifth girl is not an affectionate person.
The old man is a stranger to her.
She heard from her mother that once the old man was gone, it was their second house, and she was a little attentive to the grandfather.
Unlike Gu Jinzhi, he has learned from the old man since he was a child and has a good relationship with the old man.
Although she was happy, she knew that she could not show it, otherwise her aunt would be angry, so the fifth girl lowered her head.
When she covered up her emotions and raised her head, she found that the king of Luyang was looking at her.
This made her a little uncomfortable, as if her thoughts had been seen through.
She stared at the King of Luyang.
The king of Luyang pulled Gu Jinzhi's sleeves uneasily and looked very scared.
Gu Jinzhi was pulled by the King of Luyang before he could answer the lady's words...
She had to answer the question of King Luyang first.
The king of Luyang timidly pointed to the five girls and said, "She...she stared at me. Xiaoqi, she bullied me..."
The five girls are indistinguishable.
The old lady was shocked and got up quickly and said, "Sister Po, hurry up and accompany the prince!" Fearing that the king of Luyang would go to the empress dowager to complain, he said to the king of Luyang, "The prince misunderstood, and her eyes are not very good..."
"She just stared at me..." The king of Luyang did not give up.
When he made such a scene, the old lady only coaxed him and was not in the mood to ask Gu Jin's purpose.
The King of Luyang didn't listen.
The eldest lady and the fifth girl had to keep making amends to him.
His temper didn't stop until the maid came in and said that the old man came back.
Gu Jinzhi got up quickly and went to the gate of the courtyard to meet the old man with the eldest lady.
The old master didn't have a good impression on Gu Jinzhi, because he was scolded in the court and was not in a good mood. He nodded to her coldly and moved into the room.
The old lady was busy serving him to tithe and change his clothes.
After grooming, the maid brought tea. The old man sat down to drink tea, and then asked the lady, "Send someone to find me. What's the matter?"
"What's wrong with me?" The old lady smiled and pointed to Gu Jinzhi, "Sister Jin said, I have something to tell my uncle."
The old master frowned slightly and looked at Gu Jinzhi with a little puzzlement.
Gu Jinzhi stood up and said, "Uncle, I have something to say to you..." Then he looked at the eldest lady and the fifth girl and the maids who served in the room, and said, "Can I talk to you alone?"
The old man frowned deeper. It was expected that Gu Jinzhi was not a big deal, and he was a little unhappy.
Like the eldest lady, when he saw Gu Jin's arrival, he thought it was the old man's business.
The old man has no good impression on the old man.
"I went to the palace with the prince today." Seeing that his uncle had also misunderstood, Gu Jinzhi smiled and reminded, "Come out of the palace and come to you."
The old man's eyes were stunned.
The eldest lady was also stunned.
The fifth girl also thought to herself, is it about the de concubine or the third princess? She couldn't help pricking up her ears.
The old master did not hesitate any more. He walked to the small study, and Gu Jinzhi hurriedly followed.
The small study is on the east side of the main courtyard, next to the east room, two small rooms, full of books, and some insignative chapters...
Two little maids serve here.
Gu Yantao sat behind the bookcase, and Gu Jinzhi stood in front of the bookcase.
A begonia in the yard happened to be at the window, climbing and stretching, almost into the study.
"What's the matter?" The old master asked Gu Jinzhi.
"I went to the palace today to give my mother and the empress dowager a comm. I heard from the Empress that the emperor has not been very happy recently. Because of the commander-in-chief of Annan, Zhang Shufei asked. The emperor not only scolded Zhang Shufei, but also Tan Guifei, who was present. Gu Jinzhi was not slow and said slowly, "The emperor should be very angry, right?"
Is it just that you are very angry?
The emperor was furious.
It's useless for anyone to fall in love. They have to catch the leader of the chaos and behead him, and re-select the general...
The cabinet disagrees and is deadlocked with the emperor.
Gu Yantao is almost out of power.
The road is far away, and the midway cut will further affect morale. No matter how big the coach's fault is, it's good to be dismissed. It's the right way to deal with it after the war.
Gu Yantao also has a headache.
"What else did the mother say?" Gu Yantao did not answer Gu Jinzhi's words, but asked.
"The Empress said that she had just had a confinement, and her body was not very good. She was too lazy to deal with the affairs in the palace, so she didn't meet her. Now that she is alone, uncle can rest assured..." Gu Jinzhi said again.
Gu Yantao thought that Gu Jinzhi was just talking for Concubine De.
The impatience appeared on his face again.
"She knows how to take care of herself, which is good." Gu Yantao said coldly and didn't care much, "Is that all?"
He kind of wants to get angry.
"No." Gu Jin said, "On the way back, I thought about it. The emperor was not very happy, and my uncle should not be able to do things in the cabinet. Can I contribute to my uncle..."
Gu Yantao looked up and stared at her.
"...The prince listened to me like this. If I asked him to agree to reinforce the guard, and the grain and fodder were also taken out of the taxes of Luzhou, wouldn't it be to relieve the emperor's worries and let the uncle feel relieved?" Gu Jin's way.
Gu Yantao was stunned.
The smile slowly came out of his eyes.
"Is this what you mean, or what did your grandfather tell you?" Gu Yantao finally smiled.
"I mean it!" Gu Jin's way.
Gu Yantao thought that it must be the old man who instructed Gu Jinzhi.
With such words, I'm afraid even Gu Yanzhen doesn't have the ability to think of it, let alone Gu Jinzhi, who is young? To think of this, except for Gu Yantao, the Gu family is an old man.
