Blissful Days After Widowhood - Chapter 120

    The palace exam is over, and it’s almost May.

    Gu Ye is finally idle – although he is the same as before, he still goes to Wenhua Hall every day for classes.

    But compared to the closed “remedial class” that gathered imperial examiners before, for Gu Ye, the courses in Wenhua Palace were almost the same as vacations.

    Emperor Zhengyuan said before that when he was busy with errands, he should not miss his homework, and then he would naturally have to let Master Wen and others test him.

    Living up to expectations, Gu Ye’s cultural level has risen instead of falling. Although he can’t compare with Feng Yu and Wu’an who have studied books for a few years and are talented, but he is comparable to Lu Meng, who opened his door at about the same time. Compared with Xu Yi, it is completely one in the sky and one in the ground.

    In any case, since Gu Ye’s birthday banquet and his coordinator’s palace exam, the people in Beijing and the civil servants who have contacted him have gotten better and better comments on him.

    Feng Guifei is naturally the one who can’t sit still, but Lu Xu is helpless now.

    People, as soon as they start reading, they will gradually have their own ideas.

    Lu Xu’s learning is not fast, but he is not stupid, and it is not the milk doll that the adult said in the past.

    And when everyone around him said his eldest brother was good, only his mother-in-law asked him to beware of his eldest brother, little Lu Xu already had reservations about his mother-in-law’s words.

    Lu Xu didn’t listen to her, and the relationship between the emperor and the empress became more and more harmonious.

    Speaking of which, the Feng Lu family had set a three-month wedding preparation period, which was already in a hurry.

    Behind the scenes, Lu Yuanqi smashed through Feng Yuan and the maid, and the trouble was well known and spread all over the capital.

    People are always tolerant towards men, Feng Yuan at most loses a romantic reputation.

    Lu Yuanqi, who is not yet married, sees such a thing, and it is not so good. If it weren’t for Feng Yuan or his married husband, then her reputation would also be ruined, not just the end of the person who was regarded as a laughing stock in front of her.

    The Feng family left the outfield of the city early on the last day of the Spring Hunting. On the day they returned to the capital, they sent Lu Yuanqi back to the Lu family who was crying.

    The servant who sent him back didn’t leave a word at that time, and later Qin didn’t let anyone come to apologize or comfort him.

    Lu Yuanqi was really aggrieved. She cried several times in front of Mrs. Lu, saying that she accidentally heard that Feng Yuan was depressed because of losing two games in a row, so she wanted to comfort him. Fan. How did you know you would see something like that when you walked in?

      Thus forgetting that it was in the camp in the paddock, not in the high gate compound.

    How can she be blamed?

     Mrs. Lu also felt sorry for her, but at the same time she was distressed, Mrs. Lu also clearly knew that this marriage can only be done quickly, not too late!

    In the past, the first two were considered equal trading relations, but now the initiative has been vaguely in the hands of the Feng family – not to mention the 50,000 taels of silver that have been sent to the Feng family, the current Lu Yuanqi is not only married For Feng Yuan, what other good people dare to ask for?

    Although Lu Yuanqi is Madam Lu’s only daughter, Madam Lu has the ability to take care of her for a lifetime.

    But if there is another daughter in the family who can’t marry, the Lu family will become a joke in the shopping mall, and there will be the third generation of the Lu family in the future, there are many in the family who can’t marry Old aunts, grandchildren say that kissing will be the biggest problem.

     Mrs. Lu made a decisive decision. While appeasing Lu Yuanqi, she had someone prepare a gift and send it to the Feng family.

    How about disregarding what Yin said in private that Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Qin look alike?

    This kind of shameless work, Mrs. Lu did not do it herself, but let her daughter-in-law Mrs. Lu go out.

    Mrs. Lu had no choice but to go to the door of Feng’s house with a cheeky gift prepared by Mrs. Lu.

    Those gifts worth thousands of taels are on the one hand, and Mrs. Lu also relayed another thing through the mouth of her daughter-in-law. two.

    The Qin family was not prepared to regret the marriage. Although she was annoyed by Lu Yuanqi about the incident in the camp, if she regretted the marriage, shouldn’t she return the 50,000 taels sent by the Lu family earlier?

    The money had already been divided into two for her, one for Feng Guifei and one for Feng Tao to run Wangtianlou.

    It is impossible for their sister and brother to spit out the silver money when they know their son Mo Ruomu!

    And if the Qin family used the money from the Feng family to make up for it, it would really hurt the bones, and they had to sell their ancestral property.

    So Qin just took Joe on the shelf.

    After the goal was achieved, Qin Shi was happy, and said to Mrs. Lu: “Your old lady is really polite, Yuan Qi and my A Yuan have engaged, and that is my daughter. It’s my A Yuan’s fault, I’ve scolded him after I came back, but you know, I’m getting old and poor, and I’ve been running around for a while, and I’ve been sick at home for the past few days.”

    Mrs. Lu looked at Qin Shi’s red face, and said with disgust, “You are the most kind, and we old ladies know it in our hearts.”

    After talking about the wedding date, Mrs. Lu continued to convey the meaning of Mrs. Lu, hoping that the wedding date would be earlier, Qin Shi did not say anything else, and after discussing with Mrs. Lu, the wedding date was set at the end of April.

    Mrs. Lu brought the news back to Lu’s house. After Mrs. Lu left, Lu Yuanqi cried even more fiercely, and questioned Mrs. Lu: “His family bullies people like that, and now I often think of that camp. I feel sick to my stomach in the pictures, why did my mother let me marry in advance?”

     Mrs. Lu had been coaxing her for several days, even her own daughter, she was a little impatient, and said with a cold face: “You said that you would marry a high-ranking family, and change our family’s. Men Ting. I gave you such a generous dowry. Why do I have to say anything? Besides, isn’t it normal for a man to be romantic? It’s just a maid in the house.”

     Mrs. Lu has been in power for decades. After she turned cold, Lu Yuanqi was also afraid and did not dare to be troubled loudly. Under my nose, doesn’t that ignore me at all?”

    The old lady Lu softened her tone again and persuaded her: “You are not the lady of the country right now, when you are married, the concubines and concubines are not up to you. ? And don’t say that the mother doesn’t mention you, there are two such things, that the maid has become the man in the room of the Duke of Lu, it is impossible to guarantee that there will be no other thoughts. Then the Duke of Lu’s mansion is already fast. The grown-up eldest son, is it possible that you still want to have a second son?”

    The words of Mrs. Lu are to remind Lu Yuanqi, let her not forget the original intention of this marriage – Lu Yuanqi and Feng Yuan are not lovers who are in love with each other, the two are purely One wants money, and the other wants a chance to climb higher, just for their own benefit.

    Lu Yuanqi was stunned by what Mrs. Lu said, “No wonder the mother wants to advance the wedding date…”

     Mrs. Lu touched his head and said, “My son, you can understand the painstaking efforts for my mother.”

    So at the end of April, Feng held a grand wedding with the money of the Lu family.

    Feng Guifei also successfully left the palace and became the officiant of the wedding.

    The Feng family was not as particular as when Gu Ye held the birthday banquet before.

    Weddings, co-twilight, are held at dusk.

    Concubine Feng presided over the wedding.

    A couple of newlyweds entered the bridal chamber, and Feng Guifei and Qin Shi were finally able to talk properly.

    Feng Guifei is still chattering about her sufferings, although she is now well-off and can drive the palace servants, but it can’t change anything!

    Qin told her not to worry, and said, “I heard what you said in the paddock last time. After I came back, I thought about my mother for a few days, but I had a little thought.”

    Concubine Feng asked her to speak quickly, and Mrs. Qin continued: “Look at your eldest brother, it seems like a different person in front of you and Mrs. Ge. He even lost his temper at me, Yelling, I talk to him, but he doesn’t seem to hear it. What happened next, the spring hunt in the paddock happened. Although that incident made people laugh, but since your eldest brother has that maid, he has a bad temper. It’s much better. It’s the same as before, listening to my mother-in-law.”

    The girl’s name is Chun Xing. After being trained by Qin’s, she was placed beside Feng Yuan with confidence by Qin’s. Naturally, she is very beautiful, not demonic, and gentle and small, very knowledgeable. to please people.

    Feng Yuan didn’t have any feelings for her at first, but it was just a long time, and she had **** after drinking.

    The back was smashed by Lu Yuanqi, Feng Yuan was embarrassed, and before he could turn his anger on Na Chunxing’s head, Na Chunxing pleaded guilty to her, saying that it was all her fault, because she admired him for a long time Well, that’s what made that stupid thing.

    Feng Yuan felt even more sorry when she saw her crying pear blossoms with rain – he always had a good drinker, and although he was drunk at the time, he was not unconscious. Entering the inner room and getting on the bed, he actually realized that the person in front of him was not Ge Zhuer.

    In the end, he was in charge of the absurdity.

     Naturally, he didn’t blame Chun Xing anymore, and he talked to Qin Shi, and when Lu Yuanqi entered the door, he would carry her into a concubine.

    Before Lu Yuanqi entered the door, the future aunt, the current maid Chun Xing, had already begun to greet Feng Yuan, and she really caught Feng Yuan.

    Chun Xing also remembers Ge Zhuer’s lesson, but she doesn’t dare to confront Qin Shi, and she has always only spoken to Qin Shi in front of Feng Yuan.

    Feng Yuan was always soft-hearted, and a Qin family coaxed him into a roundabout way. Now that there are many people in the account, he is more obedient than when Ge Zhuer was still in the Feng family.

    Feng Guifei frowned upon hearing what Qin said, “Mother’s meaning, let me add a new love to Your Majesty?”

    The Qin nodded, “That’s what it means. Now the empress is so passive, because there is no one of our own in front of the royal family, let’s find a person like Chun Xing to win over His Majesty, from time to time Helping our family speak, it will naturally be even more powerful.”

    The matter has come to this point, although Feng Guifei is reluctant, she can only agree to this method.

    But soon she was worried again, where to find such a person?

    Feng Guifei knew both Emperor Zhengyuan and Feng Yuan. Feng Yuan was not an opinionated person, but Emperor Zhengyuan was different. If he was really the same as Feng Yuan, then this new dynasty The dragon chair is out of his wheel.

    So to be able to fascinate him, it is much stronger than Chun Xing.

     Qin thought for a while, and then said: “Didn’t our family send someone into the palace earlier? A Qing woman from Yangzhou, surnamed Chu, is very good at dancing ribbons. Even His Majesty praised her earlier. It’s hard to find her with such a beautiful figure.”

    Concubine Feng said: “Mother, did you forget that before Your Majesty rewarded the trickster, then Chu Manrong sent her daughter to the British government. At that time, she was expected to be fascinated by Wu Qingyi. It seems that he went to work at the Shiweitian restaurant, and helped that restaurant to steal a lot of business from our family.”

    “I remember it. But since Chu Manrong was not hired, he is still innocent. Isn’t His Majesty close to the Wu family now, she should have the opportunity to face the Holy Spirit again and let someone go Send her a letter and say that our family will help her go back to the palace. Working in food for the sky, and being a concubine in the palace, a fool would choose it? Besides, she concealed the palace where she came from at the time. In our family’s hands, she can’t help it.”

      .”

    “The mud leg surnamed Wu just doesn’t have the eyesight to see.” Qin Shi snorted, “You don’t know how to enjoy the lively and fragrant beauty in front of you. This kind of Liuxia Hui can produce one. , can they be all of them? Just help her try it first, and then I will send someone to Yangzhou to find a few thin horses.

    Feng Guifei didn’t say much, only said: “Then rely on mother.”

    …

    Gu Yin went to eat food in the afternoon, and it was time to call her home in the evening.

    But before she could go back, Gu Ye came to pick her up.

    Gu Yin was still making up the bill, so she told him to wait.

    Gu Ye stretched out his hand on tiptoe to put the account books on the counter together, and said, “Mother will settle the account tomorrow, too. I have something to do at home today.”

    In more than two months, Gu Yin and Yao Wu Qingyi got married.

    All arrangements for the wedding have been put on the agenda, and today is the day when the embroidered lady will cut the wedding dress.

    She and Wu Qingyi had to go back and try them on. If they didn’t fit, they had to modify them in advance, and then they had to decide on the pattern of the wedding dress – so that the embroiderer would have time to embroider two wedding dresses in two months. .

    Gu Yin said with a smile: “Why are you more nervous than me?”

    Gu Ye said with a small chest: “Last time my mother and uncle got married, I wasn’t here, this time I’m here, and I’ve been idle lately, so can’t I supervise it? Not only supervising other people, but also supervising Mother!”

    Gu Ye knows Gu Yin well. When she cooks, no matter how troublesome and laborious the steps are, she is very patient and will not find it difficult. But for other things, she wasn’t so willing to bother.

    Gu Yin couldn’t help being urged by the little brat, so she raised her hand to surrender, packed up the things on the counter and went home with him.

    As soon as the two walked out of Shiweitian, they saw Chu Manrong coming out of a small alley near the store.

    And as soon as she came out of the front foot, a middle-aged man who was dressed much more elegantly than the common people came out on the back foot, looked around to make sure that no one found or followed her, and then went to Chu Manrong Went in the opposite direction.

    Gu Yin felt a little surprised when she saw it, Gu Ye pulled her sleeves and pulled her back to the restaurant, and then whispered: “I know the person behind, it’s Lu Guo. People from the government.”

    Gu Yin looked at him with some surprise, and Gu Ye said again: “Earlier, when my emperor was marching to fight, didn’t he take back many troops from different sides, so I decided at that time. After the new dynasty was established, this rule was also preserved by each family. Like those in our family, there will be a small badge on the cuff. The flame emblem. The Feng family is more ostentatious, and the emblem can be seen from half a mile away.”

    Gu Yin couldn’t help sighing in her heart that her little brat had learned a lot recently, and laughed: “Is it really that ostentatious?”

    The Feng family came to look for Chu Manrong, it must be no good. Or in other words, as long as the Feng family is sneaky, it will definitely not be good!

    Do bad things and wear your own emblem, isn’t it for fear that people will not see it?

    Gu Ye winked slyly and said, “The last sentence is that I exaggerated a little bit, it’s really not that ostentatious, just half a street away I can’t see whether the person is wearing an emblem on his clothes. So …mainly because I recognized him, when Feng Yu didn’t live in the palace for a long time, the butler came to pick up Feng Yu.”

    The mother and son were about to continue talking, and Chu Manrong, who was thinking about it, returned to the restaurant, passed them, and went up to hug him.

    It didn’t take long after that, Chu Manrong hurried down again, ran to Gu Yin in one breath, and said, “It’s fine before the owner returns, I have something to tell you. “

    Gu Yin let her enter next to the wine rack in the counter.

    The counter is set near the stairs, quite a distance from the tables where other guests are dining. If there is a wine rack, then naturally no one will notice.

    Since Chu Manrong took the initiative to talk to Gu Yin, he didn’t hide it, and straight to the point, the housekeeper of the Feng family found her and offered to help her return to the palace to serve Emperor Zhengyuan The ins and outs have been said.

    Gu Yin and Gu Ye were both very surprised, after all, in their perception, Chu Manrong was very high-spirited.

      Turn around and sell them?

      “

    When she first came to eat for heaven, Chu Manrong really felt bitter, she had never experienced such suffering in her life!

    But later on, she didn’t know how to change her mind. In the past, whether in a brothel or in the palace, the cost of food and clothing was good, but she was not really a person, she could only It’s a plaything for fun.

    Here, she sells her own craftsmanship and ability.

    For example, if she encounters an unruly, squinting customer, she doesn’t need to scold them, but Gu Yin and the shopkeeper Zhou will be beaten out with big sticks.

    The money was really earned, and the small yard was bought, and two of the little girls who were sold by her relatives served her.

    And since she became the heroine of the drama, she really has a lot of admirers. Although there are still many men, there are also many women who laugh at her as a “big fox fairy”. Give her flowers and gifts.

    No one looked at her with the eyes that looked at the plaything.

    As for this person, now that her waist is hardened, it will be very difficult to make her turn into the cartilaginous head she used to be.

      After talking, Qin Shi didn’t pay attention at all.

    Now that she is used, she ignores her wishes and threatens her.

    With this kind of people, who would be at ease in a boat with them?

    “The Feng family has my handle, so I probably didn’t think I would disagree. The owner save me.” Chu Manrong held Gu Yin’s hand tightly, as if grabbing a life-saving straw.

    What is Gu Yewen?

    Chu Manrong’s beautiful face flushed, and Gu Yin pushed him away a few steps, letting Chu Manrong just tell her.

    After whispering a few words, Gu Yin understood, and she said: “It’s nothing, you didn’t want it back then, and you were forced by the situation. And don’t be afraid, it is certainly a deception. It’s a crime, but it was manipulated by the Feng family behind the scenes, and if I really sued you, doesn’t that mean the Feng family didn’t take it upon themselves?”

      A few words, only let me bear the guilt.”

     “The Feng family said that you lied to them, so you will bite at their instigation? The Feng family has a deep relationship with His Majesty, but His Majesty is not faint.”

    Gu Yin said and looked at Gu Ye. Although Gu Ye missed the passage about Chu Manrong’s handle, he nodded and said, “Yes, my father, the emperor, is very careful.”

    Gu Yin continued: “And don’t worry, you are not an orphan, you are our employee. If it really reaches that point, I will come forward to distinguish it for you.”

    Gu Yin is a person who counts, so Chu Manrong was relieved, she put Gu Yin’s hand away, and slidly supported her bun, “Then It’s alright, I have another game tonight, I have to go get dressed first.”

    And then walked away, just like the usual stinky fart.

    “This person is really…” Gu Yin and Gu Ye laughed speechlessly.

    But Chu Manrong’s words did bring them a piece of news, the Feng family is going to make trouble again, not the British government, but want to make trouble in the palace!

    Based on her understanding of the Qin family, she certainly cannot pin her hopes on Chu Manrong alone, and she may have to arrange others later.

    Gu Yingang wanted to help think of countermeasures, but Gu Ye pulled her out and said, “Let’s go, if it’s later, I should blame me for my poor supervision. Lienniang will go back early to try the wedding dress. Little things like this don’t work.”

    Gu Yin was pulled all the way to the carriage by him, so she had a chance to speak: “Feng’s house…”

    “My mother doesn’t care, I can handle it.” Gu Ye vowed to be authentic, “In the past, my mother always helped me to find a way, now that I am old, I can’t let my mother stand for me in everything, and In fact, this matter has nothing to do with the British government, the Feng family is obviously here for me.”

    Gu Ye said and smiled at her again, “Mom, just watch, I won’t let them succeed.”
