Chapter 083 Jealousy
Gu Jinzhi has got out of the sedan chair, and Aunt Cheng helped her in person.
Chang Gonggong stood in front of them.
Gu Yantao came in a hurry and bowed to Mr. Chang.
Chang Gong also returned the gift with a smile.
In a moment, the eldest lady, the second master, the second lady and Gu Yanzhen, the brother and sister-in-law in the lobby, all welcomed out, and everyone's faces were stunned.
Mr. Gu didn't come.
Gu Yantao asked his family to salute Grandpa Chang and Aunt Cheng.
Grandpa Chang quickly stopped: "The maidservant and Aunt Cheng sent the princess back to the house. If they receive the gift, the empress dowager will not forgive the two of them. It's almost free."
Everyone squatted down, or bowed. It was not easy to stop halfway, but they saluted one after another.
Grandpa Chang and Aunt Cheng had to return the gift in general.
Song Pan'er looked at her daughter carefully through the crowd. I have not seen her for only 20 days. My daughter seems to have grown a little taller. I don't know if it's an illusion or real, and she has lost a lot of weight.
Serving the empress dowager in the palace must be careful everywhere.
Song Pan'er was heartbroken, and there were tears in her eyes.
Gu Yanzhen looked at Gu Jinzhi's return, his mood touched, and his eyes were a little astringent. He is an old man. If he shed tears, won't he make people laugh to death? He quickly put his eyes away.
It's just, the princess...
What princess?
Song Pan'er frowned slightly.
She hasn't been in Beijing for more than six years, and she doesn't know a lot of things. The emperor's brothers, since the emperor ascended the throne, have been sent to the fiefdom one after another; and the emperor's sons were too small. The emperor's uncle, a few idle princes without fiefs...
What princess? Where on earth did the princess come from?
The second master and the second lady also looked at each other, and they were surprised at each other: Gu Jinzhi went to the palace and came back with such a beautiful scenery...
Master Gu Yantao greeted him and invited everyone inside.
He wanted to invite Grandpa Chang and Aunt Cheng to the main hall.
However, Aunt Cheng was ordered to come here. She wanted to help the Empress Dowager see where Gu Jin lived.
What the Empress Dowager rewards is not for the Gu family, but for Gu Jinzhi.
A group of people gathered again and went to the third room.
Gu Yantao was anxious: Although the yard of the three rooms is exquisite, it is very small. It was originally used by the third brother Gu Yanzhen when he was married. The young couple lived there. It's really good. But for a family, it seems too tight.
When they arrived at Jingyuan, everyone hugged each other, and there were more than 30 palace people from Kunning Palace such as Aunt Cheng, the Gu family, and the maids who served in the yard. There were nearly a hundred people.
Jingyuan was flooded for a while.
Aunt Cheng's eyebrows were heavily locked.
The Empress Dowager is indeed foresight. Let her have a look.
It's too aggrieved to live in such a small place!
The whole garden is very small.
It was a great grace to give it to the Duke of Cheng in those years.
Nowadays, the Duke of Cheng's family has become a family of four generations. Can it not be crowded?
However, the rules of the nobles are that their parents are not willing to separate when their parents are still there.
"Princess, I'll go back first." Aunt Cheng put down her things and saw that everyone in the room couldn't turn around, and she didn't drink tea. She smiled and wanted to leave.
Gu Yantao quickly winched at the old lady and asked her to keep her aunt to sit for a while.
The eldest lady looked at Gu Jinzhi's face.
Gu Jinzhi smiled and said to Aunt Cheng, "Thank you for your hard work. On the other side of the Empress Dowager, I can't leave you for a moment, so I won't leave my aunt.
Then he saluted to Chang Gonggong.
Gu Yantao asked Gu Chenzhi to go to the long house to seal some silver.
When the group of people in Kunning Palace left, everyone in Gu Yantao arrived.
Those palace people all praised Gu Ge's boss in their hearts.
After sending away the people from Kunning Palace, the Gu family was still in Jingyuan. They asked Gu Jinzhi what was going on: "Is that aunt in charge of the Empress Dowager? She called you princess. What kind of wealth did Sister Jin get?
Gu Jinzhi smiled and didn't know which answer to pick up.
The servants outside hurriedly came to inform again. When the imperial edict arrived, it was the minister of the Ministry of Ceremonies who personally issued the decree and asked Miss Seven to take the order.
Gu Jinzhi just sat down and followed his uncle and parents to the front hall to receive the order.
The imperial edict gave the marriage, and Gu Jinzhi was given to the Empress Dowager's youngest son, King Luyang, as the imperial concubine.
King Luyang...
The second lady's eyes are red: the king of Luyang is the most favored by the empress dowager, and he loves him more than the emperor. His fiefdom is in Luzhou Prefecture, which is the richest of the kings today.
He is also the only prince among the princes who are compatriots with the emperor.
And Luyang Wang Junmei is known all over the world.
The girl with three rooms, how can she be so lucky?
Song Pan'er's eyes turned slightly. She thought of the rumors that the king of Luyang was a half-stupid, and her heart was scratched.
What others think of is only wealth and fame, but what Song Paner thinks of is the happiness of her daughter.
Except for Song Pan'er, everyone is either happy, envious, or jealous.
Gu Jinzhi calmly came forward to receive the imperial edict.
Everyone's eyes wished to nail a hole in her body, and asked her what was going on. Gu Jinzhi all smiled and looked like he didn't want to talk more, which made everyone angry and scratched their hearts.
After the imperial edict, the eldest lady said, "The Empress Dowager rewarded Sister Jin with such things and put them in Jingyuan. It's messy over there. Let's break up. I will go to congratulate Sister Jin tomorrow.
Everyone said yes.
After everyone dispersed, the eldest lady ordered the servants to remove the incense case that had just been ordered.
As a result, the keeper on the door came to inform him that there was another imperial edict, and asked the seven girls to take the edict.
The old lady can't close her mouth.
She was dizzy.
All day long, her heart went up and down.
This time, the person who personally passed the order was the secretary of the Ministry of Household.
Gu Jinzhi was given to the King of Luyang. All marriages were handled by the Ministry of Ceremonies, and the Gu family was not allowed to interfere.
The household department is the wealth and food in the world. Why are they here again? Is it a reward?
If you seal the princess, do you still have a reward?
While thinking about it, the old lady asked the servants to invite Gu Yantao and the people of the third room to take the order.
——*——*——
After two days of snow, the courtyard is muddy, but the preserved plums are getting thicker and mellow, and the fragrance is lingering.
The second lady followed the third room twice, and the skirt was slightly wet. Although wearing cuffs, the snow still fell on it and wet the embroidered shoes.
The feet of the second master's trousers and robe were also stained with snow.
The couple changed their clothes separately.
The second master is crooked in the inner room. He didn't sleep well last night.
The second lady was also tilted in the kang between the east, holding the stove to warm up.
Before I was clean for a moment, I heard the footsteps outside. The curtain was picked up, and her three beautiful flower-like daughters came in one after another.
"Mom, what's going on?" The fifth girl sat next to the second lady and asked her mother, "I just heard a lot of noise in Jingyuan. What did the maid say that the empress dowager rewarded the seventh girl with a lot of things?"
The second lady nodded.
"Not only things, but also the princess." The second lady said jealously, "Princess Luyang! In this world, except to go to the palace to be a queen and a noble concubine, I'm afraid there is nothing more noble than this! There are no second-grade concubines in the palace. The fiefdom of the King of Luyang, which is the richest fief in the world, and it is also the birth of the Empress Dowager's mother... You haven't seen it. How many things have been rewarded!"
The five girls' eyes are red.
She clenches her fingers fiercely.
Why do the seven girls have such good luck when they come from the same origin?
It's all because of my grandfather that I sent her to the palace!
The fourth girl also showed an expression of envy. She is a middle-looking person and has known herself since she was a child. She can't become a superior person. Therefore, she doesn't feel lost.
Unlike the five girls, they have been better than people since childhood.
The girl always thinks that she should be like her. Someone surpassed her, and she was jealous.
"...I heard that the king of Luyang is very handsome!" The sixth girl looked yearning, "That look is simply the reborn of Pan An. In the whole world, there is no better-looking man than him.
The fourth girl also nodded, and she had heard of it.
The fifth girl was even more angry: "It's just good luck! If her grandfather hadn't let her go to the palace, would she have achieved so? If we had gone south with our grandfather in those years, we would now be rich. Where can I get that little hoof? The ugly girl from the countryside is all blessed by her grandfather!"
Then, she said to the second lady, "In those years, why didn't you and your father go to Yanling with you?"
I actually blamed my parents.
The second lady was so angry that her face changed.
"I gave birth to you once, raised you once, and now I still want to eat your slap!" The second lady shouted angrily, "You go out, just think I don't have you as a daughter. If you are developed in the future, my mother won't take advantage of you!"
The five girls suddenly flashed.
Alas?
The seventh girl entered the palace not to be a nobleman, but to seal the princess?
So, is the share of entering the palace still there?
"Mom, mother!" The fifth girl didn't seem to see that she was half angry with her mother. She looked excited and took the second lady's arm. "Mom, the seventh sister is not a noble. At the beginning, my uncle said that I could go to the palace. Now the seventh sister didn't go. Is that share still there?
The second lady is also looking forward to her daughter entering the palace.
Her mood is even more eager than that of the fifth girl.
She has no son and is always looked down upon by others. She urgently needs a daughter to show her face so that she can raise her head in front of people.
Among her three daughters, the five girls are the most beautiful. In the future, she has a great chance to marry a prince, so the second lady has spoiled her since she was a child. She has the best in everything, which is to hope that her daughter will have the best future in the future.
In order to cultivate this daughter, the second lady even ignored the fourth girl and the sixth girl.
So much so that the fourth girl and the sixth girl are not close to their mother and the fifth girl.
"Let your father ask!" The second lady was also excited, "The quota to enter the palace must be there! This time, I can't toss around anymore!"
She went into the inner room by herself and went to call the second master to get up.
As soon as the second master fell asleep, he was suddenly awakened by the second lady and sat up angrily: "What's going on again!"
The second lady said what she had just said.
As soon as the second master heard it, he was not sleepy at all.
Why didn't they think of it? Because their family lost the opportunity to send their daughter to the palace, they hated the big room and the third room to the bone and were also depressed.
Now, the words of the five girls seem to have thrown into the boulder and ripples in the silent lake.
The second master was busy dressing up and wanted to ask his uncle.
As a result, the servant who was listening to the news in front of him ran in and said to the second master and the second lady, "... The Ministry of Household ordered us to reward our seven girls with 500 catties of gold!"
The second master and the second lady suddenly settled down, and their mouths were wide open, shocked!
