Chapter 430 Old Study
Section 430 Old Study
After three or four days, Song Pan'er realized that something was wrong with Brother Xuan'er.
Brother Xuan didn't talk much when he was a child. But with Gu Jinzhi's departure from Beijing, he made some friends by himself, and gradually became lively, playful and energetic.
But in recent days, every time I eat, Brother Xuan is listless and can't swallow the meal.
Song Pan'er didn't know the reason, so he called Brother Xuan's maid Ziyuan and asked, "Master Jiu has been uncomfortable these days?"
Ziyuan doesn't know. She is even more worried than Song Pan'er.
Song Pan'er only knew that Brother Xuan was not energetic, but Ziyuan saw Gu Jinzhi sent people to guard their yard, afraid that Brother Xuan would go out.
At night, Ziyuan was on duty at night, sleeping on the couch in the inner room to accompany Brother Xuan.
She slept lightly and woke up several times at night. She was afraid that Brother Xuan would get up at night or become thirsty, so she developed a habit. In the past few days, she will also wake up at night, and then she hears the sound of soping and crying. She was very sad and did not dare to cry loudly.
Gu Xuanzhi's personality is not strong enough. He is usually gentle, but he seldom takes things to heart, let alone secretly cry at night.
This is a big deal.
Ziyuan has been worried these days.
However, Ziyuan did not dare to tell Song Paner.
She is very loyal to Gu Xuanzhi, so Ziyuan picks up some irrelevant things in Gu Xuanzhi's room and never reveals secrets. So over the years, Gu Xuanzhi valued her very much.
Song Pan'er gradually became a little dissatisfied with her, feeling that she was fooling around on Gu Xuanzhi's side, and she was ignorant at all.
Therefore, Ziyuan also has something appropriate to say so that Song Pan'er can also be satisfied.
"... Young Master Jiu is not uncomfortable." Ziyuan answered Song Paner, "It's just that I drank a little wine the day before yesterday and said that I had a headache and couldn't sleep at night. I couldn't sleep well these two days. The maidservant said, go to the doctor to prescribe some medicine, and the ninth young master said it was okay. Don't bother. It will be fine in two days."
When Song Pan'er heard this, she was skeptical.
She knew Ziyuan's heart, leaned towards Gu Xuanzhi, and refused to tell the truth in front of her.
But Ziyuan seldom lies.
She usually doesn't say it. If she can, she can tell the truth.
Because of this, Song Paner also forgave Ziyuan's bias and asked her to continue to serve Gu Xuanzhi.
Song Paner thought that it was normal for the child to drink too much outside and feel uncomfortable for several days. She told Ziyuan: "... persuade him more and don't come back drunk outside. At a young age, he was infected with the problem of alcoholism, which is a lifelong scourge.
Ziyuan hurriedly said yes.
"Let the small kitchen outside you cook some bird's nest porridge at night. If the ninth young master comes back late, serve him to eat before going to bed." Song Paner said again, and then called the maid to find two catties of her treasured bird's nest, "The bird's nest here is stronger than yours outside. Take it first and tell me when you're done.
Ziyuan Road is.
took the bird's nest, Ziyuan held it in his hand, and went out of the main courtyard.
The master's mother, Begonia, was beside her and said to Song Paner with a smile, "This Ziyuan is a little stupid. She is focused on the ninth young master, and even his wife dares to fool her..."
"Who doesn't have many loyal people around?" Song Pan'er didn't care, "Ziyuan was smart when she was a child. I was very happy that Brother Xuan could subdue her. Besides, what kind of waves can they make? My own son, I'm still relieved..."
Begonia smiled and said, "What Madam said is that the ninth young master has always been sensible."
The topic has been revealed.
In the afternoon, Gu Yanzhen came back very early.
Song Pan'er took the opportunity to tell him about the media.
The couple are discussing who to go to Zou's house to say that the matchmaker will be more decent.
"... When Zou Lao Shangshu was in the court, he once had a lot of friendship with Lao Lu Guogong and Wang Shangshu of the Ministry of Household. Now, the old Duke of Lu has passed away, Wang Shangshu has also returned to his hometown, and the eldest son of the Wang family is also a servant in the household department. The Wang family and the Zou family are good friends. You still have some relationship with Wang Shilang. What do you think of asking him to media? Song Pan'er said.
Since I fell in crush on the girl of the Zou family, Song Paner has been thinking about this matter all day long.
If Gu Yanzhen hadn't annoyed her with one sentence last year, I'm afraid that the girls of the Zou family would have entered the door now.
In Song Pan'er's heart, she had all kinds of plans for this matter for a long time.
Even the media, she is optimistic about the candidate, but she just told Gu Yanzhen.
Gu Yanzhen nodded and said, "I have something to do with Wang Shilang. His sister married to the Zou family, and the Zou family also has a daughter to marry his cousin. The two families are in-laws, which is the most suitable. I'm going to visit Wang Shilang tomorrow..."
Song Paner was very happy to pay for Gu Yanzhi's trip to Yanling Mansion, which made Gu Yanzhen quite moved.
So these days, Gu Yanzhen is obedient to Song Pan'er.
Usually, Song Pan'er asked him to do something. He always disliked the trouble. Even when Song Pan'er started Zhang Luoxuan's marriage, Gu Yanzhen was not enthusiastic enough.
Now that he has promised so simply, Song Pan'er is also happy.
The couple had a good relationship until the children came in for dinner.
Gu Jinzhi also brought his sons here.
The topic of Gu Yanzhen and Song Pan'er stopped.
During dinner, Gu Xuanzhi didn't come. Song Paner sent a maid to invite her. The maid came back and said that the ninth young master had eaten outside at noon. He had some food and was not very hungry.
Song Paner remembered that she had told Ziyuan to cook bird's nest porridge for Gu Xuanzhi at night and would not starve him, so she said, "Then let's not wait for him..."
After dinner, Gu Jinzhi still went back to the other restaurant with the children.
She first sent the children back, gave them to the wet nurse, asked them to take them, and then turned back to Brother Xuan's yard.
Brother Xuan locked himself in the inner room and lay down to sleep.
When Gu Jinzhi came in, his footsteps were a little heavy. He knew that he was not his maid, so he turned around and looked at him.
Seeing that it was Gu Jinzhi, he was a little embarrassed to snub her, so he had to sit up and shouted the seventh sister in a powerless voice.
In Gu Jinzhi's hand, he took a saving box, which contained the food cooked by the other restaurant. He smiled and said, "I brought you the meal in person..."
"I... I'm not hungry..." Gu Xuanzhi lowered his head and didn't want Gu Jinzhi to see the decadent expression on his face. He said, "I ate more at noon..."
"Nonsense, you didn't go out today." Gu Jin said, "Get up and see what I brought..."
She asked the maid to open the saving box.
The saving box has three layers.
On it are two bowls of dishes, a bowl of roasted pheasant with chestnuts, and a bowl of fried shrimp. There are also two bowls in the middle, a bowl of rose tofu, a bowl of braised fish, a bowl of steaming rice and a bowl of ham and fresh bamboo shoot soup.
Brother Xuan likes to eat fried shrimp and rose tofu.
Seeing these two things, his stomach moved slightly and he was a little hungry.
Gu Jinzhi asked the resources to use a small bowl, scooped half a bowl of rice, brought it to Brother Xuan's hand, and said, "Eat some..."
Brother Xuan wanted to get up and get out of bed, but Gu Jinzhi didn't let him move.
She told the maids to carry the kang table to **.
This makes Gu Xuanzhi feel interesting.
He smiled at himself.
With this smile, I suddenly felt a little more cheerful. In addition, without dripping water for a day, my stomach was faintly painful, and I was too hungry.
He brought the bowl and ate it slowly.
He finished a bowl of japonica rice and drank the ham and fresh bamboo shoot soup. The other dishes just moved his chopsticks slightly.
The cook of the palace is a little out of line with Gu Xuanzhi's taste.
He is very picky about food, and he has been like this since he was a child. Even if it's the same dish, if the cooking method changes a little, he doesn't want to eat more.
After eating, Gu Jinzhi asked him with a smile, "Would you like to go for a walk in the yard and eat?"
Gu Xuanzhi looked outside, and it was completely dark.
At night, the Gu family didn't drop the key until the second watch. It's okay to take a lantern and go out for a walk.
Gu Xuanzhi said it was good.
Ziyuan hurried over to serve him to change his clothes.
When changing clothes, Gu Xuanzhi suddenly remembered that his sister was still pregnant and said, "It's so dark. What should I do if I accidentally fall down? Let's not go out."
"I want to sit in my grandfather's study." Gu Jin said, "When I come back these days, I always want to go, but I can't give up in my heart and dare not go. You go for a walk with me..."
My grandfather's study is in the westernmost part of the west garden of the outer courtyard.
Brother Xuan lives in the southeast corner of the East Garden. From his place to his grandfather's study, he has to cross the whole Gu house.
Seeing that Gu Jinzhi wanted to go very much, Gu Xuanzhi had to accompany her.
On the way, Gu Xuanzhi said to Gu Jinzhi, "No one lives in the house over there now. But my mother sends someone to clean it every month, leaving two old families to guard there. Let's go there so that it won't be gloomy..."
The study on my grandfather's side has a complete yard.
It is located in the westernmost part of the West Garden, near the Nanchang Royal Palace. Now there are only a few domestic slaves in the Nanchang Palace, and they are in the depths of the trees, so they are very remote and cold.
It's not too much to say that it's gloomy.
Gu Jinzhi nodded.
The sister and brother picked up the lantern and went to their grandfather's study.
The yard is very clean, and the furniture in the room is also spotless. If there are two elderly family members, they live in the ear room of the yard.
Gu Jinzhi and Gu Xuanzhi came, and they also served tea to Gu Jinzhi's sister and brother.
Gu Xuanzhi didn't drink it.
He can't get used to the tea here.
And Gu Jinzhi is pregnant. She doesn't drink tea.
"You guys go down and have a rest. Master Jiu and I will sit down and leave." Gu Jinzhi said to the family looking at the yard with a smile.
The two of them said yes.
Gu Jinzhi and Gu Xuanzhi entered the study.
The maids stood at the door.
The study is neat and clean, and there are no calligraphy and paintings on the wall, which is my grandfather's style. Thinking of the past, it is vivid in my mind, and my grandfather's appearance clearly appears in Gu Jinzhi's mind.
She burst into tears.
Gu Xuanzhi hurriedly comforted her: "Seventh sister, my grandfather has been there for so many years. Don't be sad anymore..."
Gu Jinzhi gently wiped his tears and sighed, "You were still young at that time and didn't understand my feelings with my grandfather. No matter how long my grandfather went, I feel a lot of pain when I think of it.
Gu Xuanzhi gently took Gu Jinzhi's hand and nodded: "I know, Sister Seven..."
Touching his mind, he choked.
Gu Jinzhi hugged him gently, just like when he was a child, although he was now a head taller than Gu Jinzhi.
"Brother Xuan, Sister Seven tells you a story..." Gu Jinzhi gently patted his brother on the back and said to him.
I'm sorry that I didn't update it yesterday. I'll make it up today. RS
