Blissful Days After Widowhood - Chapter 101

    In the early morning of the second day, after Gu Ye got up, he had to go to Prince Lie’s mansion next door.

    The mansion has been repaired for several months, and it has long been able to live in it.

    Gu Ye chose a yard that was only separated from the British government by a wall, and then let people open a small door on the adjacent wall to come and go freely.

    In this way, he can stay at the British public mansion at night, touch it in the morning to wash, and change clothes and leave the mansion from there, which is very convenient.

    Before going to bed last night, he set a small goal for himself, wanting to be a prince first.

    He didn’t forget to get up this morning.

    This kind of thing is often said in the book of the prince, anyway, it is usually the emperor who says which is which.

    Gu Ye thinks that the prince wants to be the emperor in the future, he must not be so playful, the emperor’s father likes only one aspect, and he has to be excellent, otherwise they are all brothers with the same surname, and the only one is good If something is given to him and not given to others, those younger brothers will definitely not be convinced.

    Emperor Zhengyuan told him the day before that since he regained his identity, he was not the only one in Wenhua Hall. Those who want to go, plus Feng Yu, who has been appointed as the eldest son’s companion, have a total of three people who have to attend classes together.

    Feng Yu arrived earlier than him, and the two hadn’t seen each other for several days. Gu Ye entered the Wenhua Hall while yawning and yawning, and when he saw Feng Yu, he immediately recovered.

    The two sat together, Gu Ye came up and asked first, “How are you doing these days? Your grandmother didn’t embarrass you, right?”

    Feng Yu and he spoke at the same time and asked, “How is my mother? And my two grandparents…”

    Although they asked together, Feng Yu must be more worried, Gu Ye said first: “Aunt Pearl is now working in my restaurant, and she is also a deputy shopkeeper! My mother said those ladies and wives I really like her. Grandpa Ge’s family has returned to the town to pack up and will settle down in the capital. There is no need to choose another place to settle down. My grandma bought a few small yards and can live there first. “

    In addition to the stipends issued by the imperial court during the Chinese New Year, there will be more than 40,000 taels of silver on the account of the British government.

    Half of them were borrowed by Wu Qingyi and Wang for the purpose of going out to sea and purchasing goods.

    There are 20,000 taels left, and Mrs. Wang originally wanted to buy something for Gu Yin.

    But Gu Yin is really not short of money, and now the restaurant is completely self-sufficient and even has a lot of surplus.

    Wang used that money to buy property, and the court rented and sold it for such a big bargain that she couldn’t find it, so she bought some fields and small yards and leased it out.

    Like the mother and son Xu and Xu Qingchuan who just came to Beijing.

    Although Wang wanted to keep them in the mansion, but once the golden den and silver den are not as good as their own dog kennel, no matter how good the relationship is, it is inconvenient to live in someone else’s house. Second, Xu Qingchuan is a scholar , Those who want to go to work in the future will live in the British government for a long time, for fear that people will say that he is dependent on honors.

    So the mother and son of the Xu family only lived in the British public mansion for a few days. They turned around and suggested that they should leave. Mrs. Wang did not persuade Mrs. Xu any more. , I chose the quietest place to stay.

    Xu had to refuse at that time, because the rent given by Wang was much lower than the market price. Back then, she rented the yard to Wang Shi and Gu Yin, but she also charged a lot of rent, just a fair price.

    Wang said to her: “Wait for your Qingchuan High School, and naturally you will have your own mansion in the future. The house he lived in at that time was the champion’s house, and I just raised the rent. At ten times the market price, there are people rushing to rent it! Unless, you have no confidence in Qingchuan…”

    Xu Shi scolded her for farting, saying that she could not trust her son?

    Of course, Mrs. Xu also reacted, Mrs. Wang was using the aggressive method, but after thinking about what Mrs. Wang said was not bad, when Xu Qingchuan passed the exam, the two would be a win-win situation, so there was no Refuse Wang’s kindness.

    There are still a few of those yards that have not been rented out, which can be used to house the old couple of the Ge family. They don’t need to be looking for a place to live in a situation where they are not familiar with the place.

    My mother has a job, and my grandfather has a place to stay. Feng Yu exhaled and said ashamed: “I am a son and a grandson, but I can’t make any effort, I have to trust I’m really ashamed of your family for taking care of me, I don’t know how to repay…”

    Gu Ye said: “You are too polite, aren’t you? My mother said when she was at home that the Ge family’s grandmother always took care of her, she is half of Sister Pearl’s family. We In the future, the two will also study together, stay together every day, just like brothers, you are so grateful.”

    Gu Ye is now a prince, but he is still the same as before, Feng Yu smiled and nodded: “Okay, then I won’t say more.”

    Seeing that the others hadn’t come yet, Gu Ye lowered his voice again: “Anyway, you stay with me during the day, and I still have the badge to enter and leave the palace, and I will take you during the afternoon break in the future. Go out and meet Aunt Pearl. But it won’t work today, there is a banquet in the palace today, and there are many people in the palace, so it’s easy for people to see.”

    Feng Yu has not seen his mother for several days. Although he fully supports the separation of his parents, he is not too old, and the separation has been missed these days. Hearing that, he opened his mouth and wanted to thank him again, but thinking of what Gu Ye said earlier, he swallowed the words of thanks and nodded again with a smile.

    Then Feng Yu talked about his situation in the mansion these days.

    In the past, he might have covered up for his grandmother and father, but now he really regards Gu Ye as his own, and naturally he will not hide it from him.

    “My grandmother found out that I had sent a message to your family. Although she didn’t punish me, she beat the people around me. Later, my aunt came back to the house and called me forward to say let me I read as a companion to my cousin… I don’t hide it from you, although I promised you at the time, I saw that both my aunt and grandmother were very unhappy. I was afraid that my grandmother would do something to the people around me again. In fact, I felt some regret and retreat But fortunately, the imperial decree came down yesterday.”

    Gu Ye also said apologetically: “It’s my fault, I’d better get through with you earlier. It’s the emperor’s father who said that he can’t talk to others until after the ceremony… Fortunately, it’s not harmful. the people around you.”

    Feng Yu shook his head, “How can I blame you, this is a big matter, if you tell me, it would be against the emperor’s order.”

    If you want to blame, of course, you can only blame Qin for being cruel and not taking the lives of the servants seriously.

    The two were talking, and Lu Xu came over after a while.

    The nanny and the palace servants escorted him to the Wenhua Hall, and stopped.

    He came in alone, without any stage fright, twisting his neck to look around.

    Lu Xu is three and a half years old, a little smaller than children of the same age, but he looks black and thin, like a little leather monkey, very energetic.

    “Cousin!” Seeing Feng Yu, Lu Xu first called him with a smile, and then saw Gu Ye, instead of calling, he raised his chin and snorted.

    Recalling the day before, the palace staff were talking about the birth of an extra eldest son in the palace.

    He is very happy, because he heard from the palace maid and **** earlier that they have brothers and sisters in the family. , It’s like a person, but it’s interesting.

    Lu Xu has no shortage of food, drink, and play. He is not afraid that others will divide it up. He just wants someone to play with him.

    He thought of playing with Lu Zhao before, but he secretly went to Kunning Palace, and found that Lu Zhao, who was about his age, was still like a baby, and it was meaningless.

    Afterwards, he also let Queen Zhou find out, and immediately sent him back to Yonghe Palace.

    His mother and concubine got angry because of this and told him not to go there again. He also felt that a brother like Lu Zhao was boring, so he obediently agreed.

    Yesterday I heard that there was an older brother, and Lu Xu was overjoyed. If the palace servants said that Emperor Zheng Yuan was busy, he would have touched him long ago.

    Afterwards, he waited for Emperor Zhengyuan and his brother whom he had never met to finish their work, and then looked for him.

    Unexpectedly, in the evening, his mother-in-law came back.

    He was debating whether to ask his mother concubine for a gift from outside the palace first or go to see his brother first, his mother concubine cried, and while crying, he said: “My son, mother concubine is right I can’t live with you. What will you do in the future…”

    Lu Xu was confused, asked her if she was not returning to her grandfather’s home, and asked her why she was crying.

    Concubine Feng said: “My son, you are still young, you don’t understand. Your cousin is now accused of being the companion of your eldest brother, and today your father is still For him, he ruthlessly kicked me out… In this palace, where is the place for our mother and son to stand…”

    Concubine Feng cried and rambled about a lot. Lu Xu, who was three or four years old, couldn’t understand a lot, but he understood one thing, because this brother who had never met, his own cousin I no longer read for myself, and my mother and concubine are not happy.

    So he deliberately didn’t call anyone. After humming, he chose a seat next to him.

    But he was really curious about Gu Ye’s brother, so he sat down and picked up the bookend face, but secretly looked at him again.

    He thought that what he was doing was very secret, but he didn’t want Gu Ye and Feng Yu to find out.

    Let’s not say that Lu Xu is so old and has yet to open his eyes, and he can’t read at all, he said that he only covered half of his face with the book, and his eyes were looking at the book, wanting to make people It’s hard not to find it!

    Although Feng Yu is closer to Gu Ye, Lu Xu is his blood cousin after all. He was about to mediate, but Gu Ye had already passed by.

    Gu Ye pulled the book out of Lu Xu’s hand and asked him with a smile, “Why did you read the book as soon as you came here? Can you read?”

    Lu Xu snorted again, “I know, what’s the matter!”

    Gu Ye said, “Then why did you take the book down when you knew how to read?”

    Lu Xu blushed and said hesitantly: “I…I…I don’t want you to care!”

    Gu Ye smiled again, “Okay, I lied to you, but you didn’t take it down, I came to talk to you on purpose.”

    Lu Xu’s face turned a little red, looking at Gu Ye’s infectious smile, he pressed down the corner of his mouth that he wanted to follow, and asked him, “I don’t I’ve ignored you, aren’t you angry? Why are you still talking to me?”

    “What’s so angry about this, we haven’t seen each other. I’ll formally introduce myself to you. My name is Gu… Lu Lie, and I’m your eldest brother.” Gu Ye said again. : “But even if we know each other this time, if you don’t call someone next time, I’ll be really upset and ignore you.”

    Lu Xu thought about it and said, “Then you have a good temper, but why did you rob my cousin and bully my mother-in-law?”

    “Your cousin is not an object, and he did not promise you first, but me first. How can you say grab it? Besides, the three of us will study together in the future, whose companion is there what matters.”

    Lu Xu glanced at Feng Yu, thinking that he was right, my cousin wasn’t here, he smiled at him, and he was not taken away.

    Gu Ye continued: “When did I bully your concubine?”

    “Then she said yesterday that because of you, the royal father drove her away.”

    Lu Xu couldn’t hide his words, and immediately sold Feng Guifei.

    Gu Yexin became more and more displeased with that Feng Guifei.

    Then Feng Guifei said this to the three-year-old Lu Xu, didn’t she mean to alienate their relationship?

    It was also due to Lu Xu’s young age that he couldn’t hide his words, so he just said it. Otherwise, if you change your mind, you will already have a vengeance before you know each other.

    Gu Ye listened to his mother’s words the most, so he didn’t put it on Lu Xu’s head and said, “I was there yesterday, but it wasn’t because of me…”

    In the face of Lu Xu, Gu Ye could not say that it was Concubine Feng who made a mistake, so he said: “But I was busy all day and was exhausted, so I didn’t say a word. It was Concubine Feng. Niangniang made the father unhappy by herself. That’s why.”

    “You are talking nonsense!” Lu Xu interrupted him angrily, and then argued: “My father loves my mother and concubine so much! It has never been like this before, and you are different when you come! “

    The two were about to fight, and Feng Yu said, “Why don’t you ask Eunuch Qian to ask?”

    Qian Sansi was Emperor Zhengyuan’s personal eunuch, and he was inseparable. There was nothing in the palace that he did not know.

    Lu Xu snorted: “Why do we ask such a person about our master? My mother-in-law said that the previous dynasty was a fool who believed in a neutered dog by mistake, and let the neutered dog do bad things… I don’t want to listen to him!”

    Gu Ye lowered his face and patted his mouth, “How can you say that, Eunuch Qian?”

    “You dare to hit me?” Lu Xu was slapped on the lips by him. Although Gu Ye didn’t exert any force, Lu Xu grew so big that Emperor Zhengyuan never touched his finger, even more so, Concubine Feng. Treating him as a darling pimple made the others even more afraid, and immediately he ran out of the Wenhua Palace crying.
