Like Pearl and Jade - Chapter 46

“Master Gu, please wait.” He Ming trot forward and saluted Gu Cunjing.

“Grandpa He,” Gu Cunjing stopped and bowed to him, “What’s the matter with you?” He was just about to go home after changing his class, and he didn’t know what He Ming told him to do.

“Disturb, disturb,” He Ming smiled, “Your Majesty, please come to Zichen Hall for tea, and please don’t give up.” If it is someone else, He Ming just needs to say His Majesty summoned, but this is the future The queen’s brother is also very important to His Majesty.

“It turned out that there was a father-in-law who made this trip deliberately.” Gu Cunjing smiled politely at He Ming and walked towards Zichen Hall.

Although Gu Cunjing has a hearty personality, he has always been fine-grained and well-mannered. Even in the face of such eunuchs like He Ming, he would not put on the spectrum of the family’s noble son, which embarrasses the inside.

As the **** serving Yu Qian, He Ming was accustomed to all kinds of mouths and faces, some of them were polite and disdainful, some had slaves and knees to please him, and they didn’t look at them from beginning to end. It’s actually that the aristocrats of the Gu family did not pose any deliberate gestures towards these inferiors, but instead made people feel at ease.

Gu Shangshuling, Mrs. Gu, Gu Family Shizi and Gu Jiaerlang, Changyan County Master, he personally went to greet him. After welcoming him, he understood why there are not many people in the Gu family, but they have always stood up.

Being able to be human is also a great advantage.

Entering the Zichen Hall, Gu Cunjing just gave Jin Yang a half ceremony, and he was called up by him, but he still insisted that the ceremony be finished before saying: “Your Majesty, I don’t know if you called Weichen, is …”

“Gu Qing uses tea first,” Jin Yang asked Gu Cunjing to sit down, and asked the maid to serve him tea. “Today, Gu Qing was asked to come over and want to talk to you about family matters.”

Gu Cunjing put down the teacup that had been put up and said with a serious face: “Your Majesty please say.”

“Gu Qing doesn’t have to be so serious. According to the folk call, you are my uncle. My family doesn’t need to be so particular.” Jin Yang coughed. “I just want to ask, has it been fine for a long time? Last time she entered the palace. When I lived, I saw that she lost a lot of weight, did she not take a good rest? ”

Gu Cunjing’s heart, my sister hasn’t married you yet, don’t hurry to climb the relationship?

However, it is just a matter of thinking about this kind of words, which cannot be said on the mouth.

“Sister, she’s been pretty good lately,” Gu Cunjing raised his head, seeing that His Majesty was still staring at himself, and added, “Maybe it’s because I’m in a good mood, so I use more food.”

Jin Yang suddenly smiled, and then said: “Recently, the feudal tribute has made a batch of fruits. If brother-in-law doesn’t want to give up, he will bring some to try.”

Bai Xian walked in with a packaged fruit and bowed behind Gu Cunjing.

It is now winter, and there are not many fresh fruits and vegetables. Gu Cunjing is not stupid. He knows that he likes to eat foods such as fruits and vegetables for a long time. Now His Majesty let him take these things back, let him taste the fake, and it is true to give fruits to Jiu Jiu for a long time.

It is good that Your Majesty can remember her sister. After Gu Cunjing Xie En, he returned to Gu’s house with a huge bag of fruit, and went straight to the small courtyard where his sister lived.

“Second brother, what are you doing?” Gu Rujiu saw Gu Cunjing coming in with a huge cloth bag, which made him somehow inexplicable.

“It’s delicious for you.” Gu Cunjing put the cloth bag on the table, opened it, and it contained fragrant pear, orange, longan and two fragrant grapefruit.

“Where can I buy so many fruits?” Gu Rujiu walked to the table in surprise and picked up a longan. “Is there still this in the capital?”

“I am a trustworthy person,” Gu Cunjing sat down on the stool. “These things may not be there outside, but there is a place that is not lacking.”

“It was brought by your majesty?” Gu Rujiu immediately understood that there were vassals of the vassal in the past few days. Needless to say, gold and silver jewelry, the local wild treasure and fruit also sent two vehicles, although most of them were in transit and Damaged, but there is always a small part intact.

These fruit royal families still have to reward some, and really can be left to Jin Marting, I am afraid there is not much.

“It must be that your majesty knows that you like to eat fruit, so I sent it deliberately,” Gu Cunjing took a sip of the tea sent by Qiuluo and smiled, “Your majesty can have this kind of heart, it’s not bad.”

Gu Rujiu reached out and touched the two big pomeloes, and smiled.

On the second day, Gu Erge went into the palace with a small bag of things and met Jin Yang.

Jin Yang opened the small bag, which contained a food container with four cakes in it, and a sour plum in the center of the cake. From the perspective of sales, it can only be regarded as general.

But these sour plum cakes made Jin Yang smile without any worries. He picked one and tasted it. The cake in his mouth was soft and delicious, and the sweetness was moderate. Even his heart became sweet and soft.

Seeing His Majesty, he ate the cake directly into his mouth. Gu Cunjing was taken aback. What about the eunuch?

After waiting for a baby’s fist-sized pastry to run out, Jin Yang said, “There is a brother-in-law.”

“Weichen dare not.” Gu Cunjing was stunned by Jin Yang’s behavior. After leaving Zichen Hall, there was still some reaction.

“Brother Gu, what’s wrong with you?” Hu Yunqi asked him in a low voice after seeing that he had something wrong with his expression.

Gu Cunjing shook his head and hung the dragon guard’s saber around his waist: “It’s nothing.”

Seeing that he did not intend to say, Hu Yunqi stopped asking and said another thing: “Did you hear when you came?”

Gu Cunjing put his hand on the cold scabbard, with the patterns of flying fish and auspicious clouds tattooed on the scabbard, but it was a special weapon for the Dragon Guard, “You said it was Cao Lingwei”

There are a total of three hundred dragon guards in the palace. Most of these dragon guards are of noble origin and have extraordinary skills, otherwise they cannot afford to protect the emperor in close proximity. All the Dragon Guards belong to the Dragon Guards, Cao Lingwei is the head of the Dragon Guards, and is in the position of the third rank Lingwei.

“He has committed a lot of things this time,” Hu Yunqi glanced around and whispered, “Ling Wei’s post is afraid that it can’t be guaranteed.” The matter hadn’t been worn out yet, many people didn’t know yet, and he happened to get some news. .

The Cao clan had been in the scene for more than a decade ago, and it was regarded as a new upstart in North Korea. However, it has declined in recent years, and it only relies on Cao Lingwei to serve in the palace. It’s a pity that Cao Lingwei is not very smart. He was at ease to be the leader of the emperor’s servant. He just wanted to go to the family of Baha’i, and he also revealed that he was missing. Isn’t this death?

As a Dragon Guardian, the first priority is the safety of His Majesty. His hobbies about the whereabouts of His Majesty ca n’t be disclosed at all. If he ca n’t even do this, what else can he do?

“He hurries to trouble himself, and others can’t stop him,” Gu Cunjing noticed that someone was coming, raising his voice, “Then I will go out first, and I will change shifts soon.”

Hu Yunqi nodded happily, if it seemed to others, he thought these two good buddies were chatting casually.

During dinner, Jin Marting specially ordered Yufanfang to prepare a bowl of vegetarian porridge, and then served the vegetarian porridge and ate all the remaining three sour plum cakes into his stomach.

When the eunuchs stepped forward to clean up the table, Jin Yang took the box containing the jujube cake in his hand and handed it to Bai Xian: “Put it away.”

Bai Xian held this food box, which was not much bigger than an adult slap, and bowed back.

The food box is very ordinary, but the pattern on the box is very beautiful, and the flowers and branches are entangled, bringing out a bit of entanglement and gorgeousness.

The emperor ’s private library is very large, and ordinary people cannot come close at will. As a close eunuch, Bai Xian and the **** guarding each have a key. If any one of them is missing, and there is no emperor ’s order, whoever comes, The door of this warehouse will not open.

Entering the storeroom, Bai Xian glanced at the food box in his hand, thought about it, and put it into the cabinet in the left corner.

This cabinet is very large, and there are neatly placed precious or ordinary things in it, and there is even a longevity purse that is not washed by white embroiderers.

The **** in charge of the lantern glanced at the things in the cupboard, and he was a little puzzled. How did your majesty and Grandpa Bai treat these worthless things as treasures? Anything in this room is more valuable than this poplar food box.

Although he was curious in his heart, he did not dare to say more. After sending away Bai Xian, he muttered to himself: “The thoughts of noble people are really strange.”

Days are in the expectation of Jin Yang, passing day by day. From time to time, because of the specifications of the post-war ceremony and the debate with the officials, his life was full and busy.

Half a month later, he investigated Cao Lingwei, relieved him of all his duties, and then named Gu Cunjing as Lingwei, making him the head of the Dragon Guard.

Although this job transfer caused a lot of attention, nobody jumped out and said anything. Since your majesty wants to marry Gu’s daughter, she will naturally give her mother a little grace. For example, the marquis in Gu Shangshuling’s body, waiting for his daughter to become a queen, I am afraid that he will become a duke.

Dafeng’s knighthood can be downgraded to hereditary, so no matter whether it is an upstart or a family, the knighthood is still very important. Even some upstarts are desperately struggling to survive, bleeding and crying, hoping to earn a knighthood and go back.

So how can we not say that the emperor of Dafeng hundred years ago was cunning, rearranging family genealogy, Daxing Imperial Examination, and the title can be lowered to hereditary heredity, everything seems to be well arranged, but in fact behind these things, All have a purpose, that is, to centralize power and weaken the influence of the family.

If you want the title awarded by the royal family, no problem, first of all you have to make the emperor happy and satisfied. These two visits invisibly enhanced the influence of the royal family.

Regardless of how many policies the Dafeng emperors had put in place at the time, at least from now on, those policies were useful.

However, in just a few years, Gu Cunjing changed from an ordinary dragon guard to Zheng Sanpin Lingwei. For some people, the speed of promotion is still envious and jealous. As soon as there is jealousy in this heart, gossip will inevitably come out.

What kind of nepotism, what depends on the woman to climb up the clouds, not many people behind the back, but unspeakable.

If you are a person with a strong temperament, this will probably be greatly dissatisfied. But for Gu Cunjing, these rumors are nothing.

Gu Rujiu was originally worried that he would be affected. How could he be more open than Gu Rujiu?

“Those who said gossip behind me were really disdainful about this kind of thing. They were jealous that others could get what they could not get, so they put on a high profile and let others pay more attention to them. “Gu Cunjing shook his head and said quite complacently,” What is not being said is mediocrity, what I do with these people. ”

To make it harder to say, these people are just looking down on others to find a sense of presence. In fact, the sour taste is almost overflowing.

The words of persuasion were blocked immediately. Gu Rujiu peeled an orange and put it in Gu Cunjing’s hand. “Yes, yes, you make sense.”

“It’s you sister, don’t affect your mood for these gossips,” Gu Cunjing threw a tangerine into his mouth, and the result was almost sour that even tears fell. “Sister, where did you find this?”

“The ones in my backyard,” Gu Rujiu wiped the citrus oil on his hand with a handkerchief, and smiled, “What’s wrong, isn’t it delicious?”

If it can be said to be delicious, it is simply a conscience.

“The oranges you sent to the palace last year and this year, wouldn’t this be the same?” Gu Cunjing stared at Gu Rujiu with wide eyes, but he saw his majesty eating the whole mandarin. Why did you persevere to swallow them?

“The ones sent to the palace, I chose the ones on the branches, which should not be so sour,” Gu Rujiu took an orange and rolled it around on the table. “The oranges I picked were bad and could be saved. It ’s not easy, you do n’t think it ’s not sweet enough. ”

Gu Cunjing put the rest of the citrus in his hand back to the table and drank two big sips of tea. He said in earnest: “Sister, I think your majesty is a good husband-in-law, and it is good to marry him.”

You can eat such oranges if they are sour, it must be true love.

Gu Rujiu heard the words and smiled while covering her mouth, her eyes were extremely soft.

Then the time came to the New Year Pass silently, the ministers of North Korea and China began to write pens, the streets of Beijing were filled with all kinds of new year’s goods, and the streets and alleys were full of the atmosphere of the New Year.

Gu ’s holiday was extremely busy this year. The annual gifts received were several times that of last year. Some people who did n’t have enough identity to enter the door of Gu ’s home tried to put in gifts as much as possible. sense.

At this time in the past years, Gu Rujiu will follow the Yang family to visit the family, but this year she will not go anywhere except her grandparents.

Gu Rujiu’s grandfather Yang’s family, like the Gu family, used to be a prosperous family in other places before moving into Beijing.

My grandfather and grandmother are very gentle old people, and I didn’t deliberately care about Gu Rujiu’s attitude towards her. Although the two aunts became more restrained, their concerns about her remained genuine, and she and her cousins ​​did not become rusty.

Because Yang Wenji and Hu Xi had a close relationship, Gu Rujiu also specially expressed joy to him, causing Yang Wenji, who had a mild personality, almost blushed.

When Mrs. Yang saw that the junior relationship was still very close, she smiled and said to Yang’s: “It’s a lot calmer to watch for a long time than before.”

After looking at her daughter who was chatting with several nephews and nieces, Yang sighed: “If she is like that character in the past, I am really worried.”

“I think you are good in everything, even if you care about it, it can’t be changed for decades,” Mrs. Yang knows her daughter very well. “Children and grandchildren have children and grandchildren. You have caused trouble and made you sad? ”

The Yang family was stunned. Since the birth of a long time, this child has always been very pleasing, cute and cute, sensible and sensible, which caused her and her husband to love each other, raise her carefree, and hope that nothing bad at all Don’t let her touch it. But indeed, as my mother said, although Jiu Jiu Zi was naive and pure, she has never done anything that embarrasses her family.

Seeing her daughter’s sudden look, Mrs. Yang smiled kindly: “So rest assured, this child is smarter than you think. Instead of worrying about her needlessly, it is better to think about things in the future.”

Yang understood what his mother was worried about. She said: “The family has already thought about it. After a long time, she became queen, and her husband resigned as Shang Shuling.”

“Well, that’s fine.” Mrs. Yang thought for a moment and nodded. “Although he has retreated, his Yuen and Cun Jing have done a lot, and retreating to advance. This is the way to longevity.”

If Gu Zhiyu and Gu Cunjing are two young children, the Gu family may not dare to make a decision, but both brothers have real skills. Although Gu Changling is a bit risky in this step, in the long run, it is indeed Baili Without harm.

The Queen Mother is too prominent, and it is not a good thing.

Yang Shi smiled and turned to look at her daughter’s direction. A little bit of power, he spent his days in a flourish, which is the upstarts of upstarts.

As the year passed, the imperial court was enlightened, and several men of the Gu family began to get busy again.

At the end of the first month, Sima’s parents’ daughter-in-law married and the bridegroom was Sun Yiqing, the eldest son of Princess Deyi.

The dowry of the Sima family girl can be regarded as a ten-mile red makeup, which is extremely remarkable. The dowry first entered the door of the Shen family, and the dowry behind was still placed in the Sima family, making the crowd watching the lively people astoundingly surprised, even saying that even the queen was not the case.

Shen Qinghe looks handsome and extraordinary, and the people who know Sima Ling have met, but they just think he and Sima Ling are truly a match made in heaven.

Sima Xiang stood in the courtyard of the big house of Sima family, and watched Mr. Shen, who was extraordinary, made several poems of makeup, and finally let the cousin open the door, and left the cousin out of the yard. .

The moment Sima Ling was carried away from the yard, the sound of firecrackers never stopped. Everyone’s face is full of smiles, red paper everywhere, showing that the host’s house is holding a happy event.

After seeing the lively guests walking out of the inner courtyard, after Sima Xiang saw the cousin sitting in the sedan chair, the son of the Shen family turned his head to look at the flower sedan for several times, and his eyes were full of tender affection.

The crackling sound of firecrackers sent away the sedan chair. Sima Xiang stood at the gate and watched the people running around. Suddenly she felt like she was separated by this picture, only she was locked in a square place. At the time.

Looking at a box of dowry lifting out the door, she suddenly thought that with the grand scene when the cousin got married, could Gu Rujiu, the future queen, be comparable to it?

One month’s time is not long, and short is not short, at least for Gu Rujiu, one month’s time passed. When she was yelled by the maidservants when it was dark, her mind was still a little bit out of hand.

Knowing that the superwoman in the palace held the wedding dress embroidered with the phoenix pattern in front of her, she opened her eyes, which were a bit confused.

Today is the day of her marriage.

Then there is bathing and dressing. The queen’s hi-robes are extra particular, one layer after another, each piece is very delicate, and wear several pieces on the body, but it will not appear thick.

The bun was pulled up, and then the wig was used as a decoration to fix the bun. As soon as the Feifeng Hanzhu gold tassel gold crown was put on, Gu Rujiu felt that her head was a little bit sinking, but when she looked at herself in the mirror, she was a little surprised.

Is this woman full of nobleness her?

The Qiankun Palace was already covered with red silk at this time, and even the Zichen Hall was affixed with large words of joy. However, all objects or colors that were sullen were removed.

Originally, the happy room should be arranged in the emperor’s palace Luanhe Palace, but hesitant Jin marting felt that the husband and wife were one. The three days before the bride married, they should live in the husband’s main house. Because Dafeng had no precedent for this practice, it led him and the people in the Libe Department to spend a few days before finally placing Xifang in the Zichen Hall.

As a groom official, Jin Yang did not sleep well this night. He woke up several times in the middle of the night and only hated the night. He could not pick up the bride earlier.

It was hard to get to dawn, and he let people wait for a bath, and then put on the groom’s suit embroidered with dragon patterns.

“Why isn’t it yet?” Jin Yang walked around the hall several paces, “If it’s late, will it miss the auspicious time.”

“Please rest assured, Your Majesty has cleared the water today, no one can wait on the street, so you wo n’t miss the auspicious time.” If you go too early, would n’t it bother Gu ’s family. ”

Hearing the words “Queen Empress”, the anxiety in Jin Yang’s heart suddenly eased a few points, and then said, “You are quite right, I thought it was inappropriate.”

Hu Yunqi said with a smile: “Your mind thinks that the night before the brother became married, he was so excited that he couldn’t fall asleep, and only hated the passage of time too slowly. If it was not persuaded by his family, I might run to meet the bride early in the morning.

Jin Yang nodded and said, “Yeah, I just hate that the night is too long.”

With Hu Yunqi accompanying him, Jin Yang finally stayed quiet for a while, until the official of the bureau said that when he could travel, Hu Yunqi only felt the flowers in front of him, turned his head and looked, and the emperor had already rushed out.

Does n’t it mean that His Majesty is weak, this is not slow.
