Although a few dignitaries in the capital knew about the Queen Mother's illness, no one dared to speak openly about it.

Ning E was angry with Gu Jinzhi, so she smoothly told the story about the Queen Mother being sick and being saved by Gu Jinzhi.

Some people who didn't know it suddenly realized it.

For a time, Gu Jinzhi was good at medicine and cured the Empress Dowager's cough that lasted for a year and a half, and the news spread throughout the capital. She was not satisfied, not only wanted the Empress Dowager's favor, but also wanted to get the favor of Yiyan Hou Ninghe, and used excuses to threaten her.

Ningcai is known to everyone in Beijing.

About Gu Jinzhi, rumors spread all over the place, with mixed reputation and reputation.

When the emperor found out that Ning E had told the truth about the Queen Mother's illness, he was furious. He called Ning E into the palace and scolded her severely: "...You should shut yourself up and reflect on your mistakes. You are not allowed to go out for two months!"

The Queen Mother also heard about Ning E's misdeeds and became angry.

She said to the emperor: "Your uncle has been incompetent since he was a child. Now that he is getting older, he is becoming more and more unreliable in his work. You can't let him know about anything. Fortunately, the Ai family is getting better. If it is not better, I don't know how much more he will add."

trouble."

The emperor smiled and reassured the queen mother: "I have ordered him to shut up and think for two months, so that he can calm down a little."

The Queen Mother sighed deeply: "Back then, the late emperor thought that he was useless and would not interfere in politics to make things difficult for you. Now, the emperor is wise and powerful, and it is the right time to employ people, but he is useless..."

"Having no merits is also a strength." The emperor smiled, "There is no need for the queen to criticize him harshly."

The Queen Mother smiled bitterly.

He called Gu Jinzhi into the palace again and comforted Gu Jinzhi once more.

The Queen Mother was afraid that Gu Jinzhi would be wronged, so she didn't ask anything about Yi Yanhou.

Gu Jinzhi didn't mention it either.

——*——*——*——

The second roommate of the Gu family finally knew why Gu Jinzhi was so favored.

"...How can the old man teach Sister Jin instead of teaching Brother Qing? Brother Qing is still a grandson." The second lady was very dissatisfied and said, "I have never heard of anyone whose daughter will inherit the mantle in the future."

The second master said: "The old man's own craftsmanship can be passed on to whomever he likes. The third son and his family will accompany him to Yanling Mansion, and they must give him some benefits. Don't bother. When the old man returns to the west, the order will be determined. In the future

I am the one inheriting the title. If you make the old man unhappy, write a memorial and give the title to the third son, and we will have hard days ahead."

Ever since the sixth girl entered the palace and became a concubine, and the first wife was rewarded, the second wife has always been unbalanced, but she didn't dare to make a fuss openly.

Then, the two masters and their husbands came to a conclusion: the eldest family has been granted another title, and in the future, the master's title of Duke of Chengguo will not be passed down to the next generation.

The second bedroom can also accommodate a prince of the country.

"...I don't know how many more years we have to wait. I am too old to die." The second lady cursed in a low voice. "We are also sons and daughters-in-law, and we will never get the slightest benefit..."

The second master stopped talking.

It was he who stole the money from the drug store's public account, so the old man closed the drug store. Otherwise, the drug store would be his!

If there was still a medicine shop, and the palace's offerings were made every year, how could the second wife be so at the mercy of the first wife?

Back then, his father also thought about his future, right? It was because he failed to live up to his expectations and let down the old man's hard work. Thinking about it this way, the second master's hatred for the old man was suddenly reduced by most.

Now, the more he thinks about it, the more he feels that he is useless and has fallen into this situation. He finally raised a promising daughter, but it has nothing to do with him.

Weirdly boring.

He thought and went to the outer courtyard sadly.

——*——*——

Gu Jinzhi came back from the palace and heard her mother Song Pan'er's laughter.

The east room of the main courtyard was full of people.

Song's mother and Haitang were chatting and laughing around their mother.

"...I said back then that he was very good." Song Pan'er said with a smile, "It's really a great marriage. According to this, the uncle's wife will marry the third cousin first?"

"Isn't it?" Song's mother said.

Gu Jinzhi stepped in and asked what was going on.

Song Pan'er showed the letter to Gu Jinzhi.

It was written by the second uncle of Yanling Mansion. The letter sent greetings to everyone in the Gu family.

Then it was said that the eldest cousin Song Yanmao and the second cousin Song Yanzhao were both selected as scholars; the third cousin arranged marriage with the Qin family of Ningjiang Prefecture and let Xiao Ding go.

The Qin family is the second aunt's natal family.

The man they proposed to marry was Qin Zhi, his second aunt's nephew, and her second aunt had arranged a match for him with Gu Jinzhi back then.

Qin Zhi also became a scholar.

"How happy is this?" Gu Jinzhi was also very happy, "The third cousin has also left the court? Mother, is this Qin Zhi the same Qin Zhi we met last time?"

She remembered this happening.

Last time my cousin was in Yanling Mansion, people from the Qin family happened to be there too, and they both treated guests to dinner separately, so I had a bit of an impression.

But Qin Zhi couldn't remember anything about his character and appearance.

"That's him." Song Pan'er said with a smile, "That child has a lot of talent, but now he has to go to school again, and his future is limitless. Your third cousin is loyal and can marry into the second aunt's family, and others will not bully her. It's really great.

It’s a wedding. I have to rush back for the wedding banquet.”

Mother Song and others hurriedly said: "...We haven't decided on a good day to leave the cabinet yet, so you should be anxious first."

Gu Jinzhi also laughed.

She also likes her third cousin very much.

The third cousin was born prematurely. Although she has a strong body, her brain is extremely simple. She is like a crystal figure, with a transparent and clean heart.

"... Brother Subaru and Brother Zhao have just entered school. They will definitely make further progress and strike while the iron is hot to take the Jinshi exam. The marriage is not discussed for the time being." Song Pan'er said, "But Sister Fan is older.

, I couldn’t afford to wait, so I married my daughter first.”

Everyone nodded.

It is estimated that Song Yanfan will get married before Gu Jin.

"Mom, third cousin is getting married, shall we go back?" Gu Jinzhi really missed Yanling Mansion.

Song Pan'er kept snacking, but she didn't have high hopes in her heart.

When Song Yanfan gets married, the child in Song Pan'er's belly is likely to be one year or half old, which is the time when she can't live without her. How can she get away?

The marriage of the third cousin and the fact that one of the two cousins ​​was a scholar dispelled the gloom in Song Paner's heart.

She was no longer angry about Yi Yanhou Ning'e.

Although Ning E spread Gu Jinzhi's reputation throughout the capital, making people talk about Gu Jinzhi in the streets and alleys of the capital.

Gu Jinzhi was no longer angry.

Yi Yanhou likes beauty the most. Just like some people like antiques or delicious food.

He is always worried that his health will be in short supply, so he spends a lot of money every year on various supplements and even folk remedies.

But Gu Jinzhi said that half of his body was lost.

How can he not be angry?

He was angry but blamed the doctor. He even refused to show dignity to Gu Yanzhen and Song Paner in public and walked away, stepping on Gu Jinzhi's bottom line.

Her bottom line is actually very simple and very low: don't let her family feel wronged because of her.

Yi Yanhou happened to step into the most taboo thing of Gu Jinzhi.

In the blink of an eye, it’s mid-July.

During this period, Zhu Zhongjun had been living in Gu's house. He refused to return to the Luyang Palace on the pretext of the hot weather.

The King of Nanchang only visited him once.

Wang Ying of Nanchang was tough and not used to socializing, so he returned to his palace without going into the inner courtyard to talk to Gu Jinzhi and Song Pan'er.

The two families are only separated by a wall, but they have no contact with each other.

On July 20th, after a rain, the scorching heat in the capital finally slowly faded away, and a cool breeze blew.

The palace in Nanchang. The King of Nanchang was sent his princess, three concubines, two concubines and four children.

When Zhu Zhongjun found out, he curled his lips and said, "Second brother is very lucky. I am in Luzhou. Do I have any concubines, concubines, or children?"

Then, regardless of Gu Jinzhi's disdainful eyes, he stood up and returned to the Luyang Palace to ask about the guards he had brought over.

When he learned that it was all gone, he lay in Gu Jinzhi's arms and said sadly: "Xiao Qi, I'm so lonely. My second brother has such a big family, but I only have you! You have to be good to me in the future.

"

Gu Jinzhi grabbed his ears and pushed him aside.

He screamed in pain, then crawled over, put his arms around her waist, and acted like a fool.

He was pretending to be a fool, already very much like the King of Luyang; it was just that Gu Jinzhi had never seen this kind of shameless coquettishness before, and he was both surprised and dumbfounded.

The two of them were pushing and shoving around on the kang in Toji's room, and they got into a fuss.

Brother Xuan was watching from the side and was very jealous. He ran over and pushed Zhu Zhongjun: "Don't bully my seventh sister." Then he competed with Zhu Zhongjun for Gu Jinzhi's embrace.

Gu Jinzhi pushed the two of them back and forth. He smiled softly at first, then lay down on the kang, letting them hold his waist one by one.

Such days, quiet and peaceful, soon arrived on the sixth day of August.

It took two months for Gu Jinzhi to see Yiyanhou Ninghe.

In the past two months, Ning E had been banned, and Gu Jinzhi had no news about him.

Marquis Yiyan told her jokes everywhere and was laughed at by people in the capital, but now he gradually stopped.

Gu Jinzhi can also understand: some theories are far ahead of their time and will be considered ridiculous. In the era of horse-drawn carriages, if Gu Jinzhi talked about airplanes, he would probably be regarded as a madman. Even in later generations, he would be considered crazy.

Developed, if Gu Jinzhi suddenly said, instantaneous transfer would be possible in the future.

Even if you can come up with reliable speculative data, you will be laughed at.

It's just human nature, she doesn't take it to heart.

In the afternoon, Gu Yanzhen hurried back to the inner courtyard and said to Song Pan'er and Gu Jinzhi: "Something big, something big has happened!"

His face looked very ugly.

Song Pan'er hurriedly asked: "What's the matter?"

There was a sudden thought in her heart: Is it about Yanling Mansion?

"Annan Kingdom...three hundred elite soldiers, led by Wei Ge Lao, escorted King Yu back to the country. As soon as they entered the court, they were detained by the Hu family. King Yu and a few guards ran away. Wei Ge Lao and most of the others,

They were all killed by the Hu family. The Hu family is really going to rebel. The emperor is furious and may start a war." Gu Yanzhen said.

Song Pan'er's heart tightened.

Now that the world is peaceful and they live and work in peace and contentment, they are most afraid of war.

"... When I was sent as envoy to Annan, I was originally destined to be my eldest brother! If not for that illness, he would have died in Annan Kingdom." Gu Yanzhen continued.

For a moment, you could hear a needle drop in the room.

Song Pan'er was full of words and didn't know which one to pick.

She clutched her chest tightly.

Fate, many times, just one turn can ruin a person's life.

No one can take chances when it comes to accidents.
