Child Bride’s Peaches and Plums Are All Over the World

The New Year's Eve is approaching, and the academy's final exam will also be held, which is the busiest time of the year.

When Li Baolu yawned and got out of the carriage, she was startled when she saw Hou's servant in the yard, and hurriedly walked two steps, "Strict internal officer?"

Eunuch Yan, who had been waiting for a long time, smiled, bowed and said: "Mrs. Gu, the Empress Dowager has given you something, please welcome me."

Li Baolu: ...Why is there another empress dowager added to the rewarding team?

However, Li Baolu was very happy when someone gave away something for free, and hurriedly led Eunuch Yan into the main hall, and knelt down to accept the gift list.

"Reward one Dendrobium of the Li family's Dongzhu, ten pieces of Shu brocade, one red sandalwood carved begonia embroidered screen, one set of colorful gemstone jewelry..." Eunuch Yan handed the gift list to Li Baolu respectfully, and said in a low voice, "Take it, Mrs. Gu."

Li Baolu stuffed a purse to Eunuch Yan, and asked hesitantly: "Why did the empress dowager think of rewarding me? There was no reason given in the decree."

Although the emperor and empress rewarded her from time to time, they all found various reasons for her, and only the queen mother rewarded her as soon as she came up.

Eunuch Yan laughed and said: "Mrs. Gu, don't worry too much. The Empress Dowager knows that you and Gu Shi are about to talk about good things. This is to congratulate the two of you in advance. There will be more rewards later."

Li Baolu blushed a little, this matter seemed to be a big deal, why did the Queen Mother know about it.

"Your Majesty, there is one more thing I want to tell Gu Shi to talk to Mrs. Gu." Eunuch Yan paused, then lowered his voice and said, "My Majesty said that if you want to get married, you should make it as perfect as possible, and then all the masters in the palace will come to join in the fun." Mrs. Gu and Gu Shi said that it is time to prepare according to the etiquette system from now on."

Li Baolu had an ominous premonition in his heart, "So?"

"That's why the Empress Dowager ordered Mrs. Gu to either live in the Qin family or the palace, and not to meet Mrs. Gu for the time being. After all, it is not suitable for unmarried couples who are about to get married."

Li Baolu nodded embarrassingly, "It's not bad according to Li, but I can't handle this matter alone. When my husband comes back, I'll tell him what the Empress Dowager thinks."

Eunuch Yan smiled in satisfaction, and said goodbye.

Gu Jingyun, who was busier than Li Baolu, received this disaster as soon as he returned home under the moonlight, but he was only stunned for a moment before looking at Li Baolu, "Do you want to move to live with your aunt?"

Li Baolu shook her head repeatedly, and looked at Gu Jingyun anxiously.

Gu Jingyun smiled with satisfaction, took her hand and said: "No hurry, I will enter the palace tomorrow to see the empress dowager."

He paused and said, "But we should live separately, but not now."

"When should that be?"

Gu Jingyun nodded her nose and said: "Of course it's when you reach Jiji. I have decided that your Jiji ceremony will not be held in Gu's Mansion, but in Qin's Mansion. The Eldest Princess is recovering from illness, and I have asked her to be your female guest." , I will give you a wedding ceremony, presided over by my aunt, how do you think?"

"Okay!" Li Baolu responded immediately, "But when did you invite the eldest princess?"

"When the two academies decided to combine the questions together, I mentioned something when I saw Huang Shanchang. Who knew that he agreed after he went back and asked the eldest princess." Gu Jingyun stroked her hair and said, "The eldest princess is a very Blessed person, I still want to invite her to be your Blessed Person."

The eldest princess is a well-known blessed person in Da Chu. Although she and the first emperor are half-brothers and sisters, she is extremely precious because Emperor Qianyuan only has one daughter, and she is not much different in age from the first emperor. Very fun.

In the palace, she was like an overlord, she had the right to speak, and when she grew up a little, she ran out to attend women's school. The first emperor loved her sister and didn't care, and the Qin Taifu who was in power at that time was even more indulgent, so the princess It can be said to grow up willfully.

And when he grows up, he chooses his son-in-law by himself, he has both sons and daughters, he honors his parents-in-law, his sister-in-law is harmonious, his husband and wife are loving...

Concubine Lan Gui could not look down on her when she was the most arrogant, and she fought with her frequently. The eldest princess fought back without any fear. Going out of the palace and her submission is over.

Afterwards, the eldest princess didn't see Concubine Lan, and Concubine Lan didn't dare to provoke her again. Such a powerful person is recognized by the aristocrats in the capital as the most blessed person.

Plus she has a long life, who in Manjing can compare to her?

Even the empress dowager, who is the most honored in the world in the imperial palace, cannot be said to be more blessed than her. Think about what kind of life the empress dowager has lived in the past ten years, and what kind of life has the eldest princess lived?

The female guests at the Jiji ceremony and the Quanfu people at the wedding usually invite such lucky people, but who dares to invite them in Manda Chu, and who can invite the eldest princess?

The eldest princess has only been a female guest for one person in her life, and one person has been a Quanfu person.

One is her granddaughter, she was a female guest during Jiji, and the other is the current crown prince, the grandson concubine back then.

It is said that the reason why the Eldest Princess would do Quanfu for the Crown Princess is to slap Concubine Lan Gui in the face. Anyway, no matter what the reason is, she seldom takes action, especially now that she is still old.

Li Baolu didn't know if Gu Jingyun's ability to please her was really an understatement as he said, or if he made a lot of effort, anyway, she didn't ask if he didn't say anything, but just pressed him on the bed at night and gave him a massage, so that He had a good night's sleep.

The next day, he entered the palace in good spirits to see the queen mother.

Gu Jingyun has a pass to enter the palace, so he doesn't need to queue up slowly, just ask the servant to inform the palace of compassion.

Soon Eunuch Yan from the Empress Dowager's palace came out to pick him up in person.

The queen mother looked at the solemn Gu Jingyun and laughed, "Yesterday, I made a bet with the queen. He said that you would definitely come to see me today. I still laughed at her, but they were separated for a few months and they were in the capital together. How could you do that?" I came to the palace specially for this reason? But now it seems that this palace underestimated the bond between you and your husband."

"Ma'am, you forgot, my wife and I are still teaching at Qingxi Academy and we meet every day, so it doesn't make much sense to observe etiquette or not. Besides, when the new year is approaching, if my wife goes to the Qin Mansion, the family will There are only Weichen and a group of children left, and there is no one to take care of them this year, and I am afraid that I will not even be able to eat a bowl of hot rice." Gu Jingyun said pitifully, and there was a hint of sadness on his face, "I just hope that the mother will take pity on you, let me take care of you." The wife and ministers will talk about it after the first month."

The queen mother asked curiously, "Will you live apart after the first month?"

"yes."

Seeing that he deserved it, the queen mother couldn't help asking with interest, "Can we separate after the first month?"

"Go back to your mother, after the first lunar month, all the gifts that should be given have been delivered, all the people that should be visited have also been visited, and all the guests that should be picked up have been received, and the academy is about to start, but she is not at home. We are in the academy. Even if you eat in the cafeteria, you won’t die of starvation..." It means that Li Baolu will be useless after the first month.

The Empress Dowager intuitively felt that this matter was not that simple, but seeing what he said frankly, and then thinking that the Chinese New Year is indeed very busy, many things need to be handled by the head of the house.

She thought for a while and nodded, "Alright, let's separate after the new year."

Gu Jingyun breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly thanked her.

The queen mother asked with a smile, "Have you chosen the time?"

"Hui Niangniang, the second day of April is a good day."

The queen mother nodded slightly, "If I remember correctly, your daughter-in-law's birthday is on the fifth day of March, right?"

"yes."

"Planning to post after finishing the ceremony?"

"yes."

The Empress Dowager nodded slightly, "That's good too, so as not to post prematurely to cause heated discussions and affect your mood. You don't have to worry about the comments of those people in front of you. The most important thing is to live your own life well."

"That's exactly what Weichen thinks."

The Queen Mother joked: "Don't you dare to hold a make-up wedding four years after you get married because you don't care about other people's eyes?"

Gu Jingyun just smiled. He really doesn't care about other people's gazes, but he will definitely not let Li Baolu be disturbed by these gazes. His eyes are vivid, and the preferences of the superiors can affect the thoughts of the subordinates. Now his camp has included The most distinguished members of Da Chu, would the people below still think that his wedding was not justified?

Gu Jingyun bowed and stepped back. The queen mother watched his back gradually drifting away, and sighed slightly with Eunuch Yan: "This child is not as handsome as his grandfather, it's a pity..."

It's a pity that he didn't go far in his official career in his life.

Eunuch Yan served tea to the Empress Dowager, and said with a low laugh, "Everyone has his own aspirations, maybe Gu Shi said that he is just as happy with it as his grandfather?"

The queen mother lowered her eyes and remained silent.

Eunuch Yan stepped aside respectfully, and only after a while did he hear the Empress Dowager sigh, "I remember that the Empress said that when the Zhongyonghou Mansion was divided, they were given some loss-making properties?"

"Yes, but I heard that after Gu Shidao took over those properties, they turned losses into profits."

"Nevertheless, the family's wealth is a bit thin. No matter how many jewels and utensils are rewarded, they are not as beneficial as the land. I remember that my dowry includes a villa with two hills. You go and take out the land deed and let me have a look. "

"Your Majesty?" Eunuch Yan was puzzled, and said in a low voice, "That's your dowry, if Uncle Guo knows..."

"You also said it's my dowry, go get it."

Eunuch Yan could only bow down and get the land deed that the queen mother said. He has been with the queen mother for more than 30 years. When the Wang family gradually declined, she didn't take out the dowry. A lot, but it is also an industry.

Eunuch Yan took it and offered it with both hands, the queen mother only took a look and said: "After two days, I will choose some jewels to reward, so I don't need to remember this."

"yes."

Gu Jingyun has already prepared more than half of Li Baolu's dowry, including two land properties in the suburbs of Beijing, both newly bought.

Thanks to the approaching New Year's Eve, some families in need sold some land, but it was not large.

Gu Jingyun also wanted to buy two shops for Li Baolu as a dowry, and asked Erlin to go to Baoding to look for someone from the tooth shop. The shop hadn't been bought yet, but he bought two big houses. The land in Baoding was cheaper, but he couldn't bear it. It's big.

These real estates are of high value, so Gu Jingyun has already spent more than half of the money he prepared, but he still wants to prepare some more land for Baolu. He doesn't plant it himself, or he can rent or hire long-term workers.
