What the third member of the Gu family did shocked the entire government and the public.

The value of those four hundred kilograms of gold would be a huge loss if replaced by a non-hereditary Fengguo general.

But he also donated money for marching and used it as military supplies. His heart was pure and kind, and he only wanted to benefit the people.

This kind of self-sacrifice for the common good touches all the people.

There were praises everywhere in Beijing.

Uncle Gu Yantao also said repeatedly: "Winning such a good reputation will greatly help my Gu family's reputation. The third child has been dull since he was a child, but this time he did something bright! This time, I also showed my face in front of the emperor and all the officials.

!”

The eldest aunt smiled after hearing this, but she was also surprised in her heart.

She prides herself on being a little more knowledgeable than others, but she can't do anything as big as Sanfang.

So much money was donated to the court...

Just thinking about it makes me feel heartbroken.

The Fengguo general who was exchanged for it only had an estate of 600 shi a year, and could not be hereditary.

This is a personal affair, so naturally it cannot be brought out. At this moment, everyone in Beijing is praising the Gu family for their understanding of righteousness, and the eldest lady also wants to do the same: "The actions of the third room this time are really unexpected. However, the treasury is empty due to the march to the middle of the country.

These are plans for the world, and they are also their benevolence."

The old man doesn’t care what the third wife’s intentions are.

The purpose is reached.

The third room made the Gu family feel embarrassed this time!

The second room also heard about it.

The second master had a toothache: "There is so much gold, if you say you want to donate it, just donate it..." If you give him some money through your fingers, he can alleviate the family's financial difficulties.

If he had known that Sanfang was so generous, he would have asked to borrow some flowers. It would have been better than wasting money like this.

Why not the second lady?

"A bunch of losers!" She also covered her chest, wishing she could cry.

That much money is gone if you say no.

It's okay to give them some.

"That prodigal bitch of the Song family!" the second lady scolded angrily, "With so much money, she would be a general of the country, and she herself would be appointed by a lady. With so much money, even without the commission of a lady, she would be

I can walk sideways!"

She only talks about profit, not reputation.

Sanfang is also happy.

After listening to Gu Jinzhi's analysis of the pros and cons, Song Pan'er felt that the money in her hands would be a disaster.

She didn't expect to get anything in exchange for donating it.

This was originally a reward from the emperor and was not earned by the Gu family themselves. Song Paner was not very distressed.

Now that she could relieve Gu Yanzhen's pain of studying and get a job from a lady, she felt that she had made a profit.

The happiest person is Gu Yanzhen.

Reading is nothing more than finding a way out.

Now that he has a title and can be a carefree general, he no longer wants to study.

"...It's just that it can't be hereditary." Although he was happy, he was also a little worried. "Although I can marry my wife, I can't protect my son. In the future, my children..."

Song Paner fell to the side and laughed.

She never thought that one day Gu Yanzhen would be able to shine on the family tree and become his wife and son.

In the past, they only expected him to pass the Jinshi exam and prove his family background, so that his children would not be found guilty of making big mistakes when they get married. Now that she has a title, Song Pan'er's ambition has been fulfilled. What else does she expect?

"If a good man doesn't split up his family, his children will have no future. Even if you give them a hereditary title, they will be ruined sooner or later." Song Pan'er said with a smile, "Besides, you have four sons.

Who? Will you not break your head in the future? If you don’t, there won’t be anything, but it will cause no trouble!”

Even if they study, very few can earn a title.

Gu Yanzhen laughed.

He liked Song Paner's attitude very much.

People always look at the distance in front of them and find it difficult to be satisfied.

Gu Yanzhen didn't have any lofty ideals, he was very content. Fortunately, Song Pan'er was not greedy either.

After receiving his wife's affirmation and comfort, Gu Yanzhen put this minor disappointment behind him and began to entertain a few familiar friends outside for drinks.

After all, a state-owned war is not suitable for a big banquet.

The Gu family was not doing anything at home, but Song Pan'er was not alone. Gu Yanzhen was celebrating with friends outside.

Two days later, the eldest aunt took the first cousin's sister-in-law and the third cousin's sister-in-law to personally deliver a congratulatory gift.

Song Pan'er left them to eat, and deliberately asked: "Why doesn't the second sister-in-law come? I don't dare to go out, my health is not very good. The second sister-in-law also refuses to come down to your honor..."

The eldest lady, eldest grandma, and third grandma all just laughed.

Later, Hu Zeyu's wife Jiang also brought Hu Jie and brought congratulatory gifts.

Mrs. Hu looked at it and felt quite unhappy.

In the past, in Yanling Mansion, the situation of their two families was almost the same. Why did the Gu family reach heaven in one step after arriving in Beijing?

First, he gained the favor of the Empress Dowager and was rewarded with living in such a precious land; then, he was granted a title, and Song Pan'er also received imperial orders, and she was no longer the same person as Mrs. Hu.

When returning, Mrs. Hu murmured to Hu Jie.

Hu Jie looked hot and sighed, "Gu Jinzhi is capable. She has good medical skills, and she deserves this."

This is a fair statement.

Gu Jinzhi was kind to Hu Jie.

Although Mrs. Hu was jealous and jealous, she did not say any unpleasant words and took her daughter back home.

Looking at the narrow courtyard of her home, and seeing that her son was not even a scholar due to bad luck, Mrs. Hu felt so disappointed that she went home and fell asleep without eating dinner.

I feel quite uncomfortable.

Hu Zeyu drank with Gu Yanzhen and came back late at night.

Within two days, the Princess of Nanchang next door also sent a small gift to congratulate the Gu family on winning the reward.

This is a sign of goodwill.

The Princess of Nanchang did not want to lower her status, so she came to visit Song Pan'er first.

After receiving the congratulatory gift, Song Pan'er could no longer feel arrogant and took Gu Jinzhi to visit the Princess of Nanchang the next day.

Zhu Zhongjun insisted on following him.

The Princess of Nanchang is also from the south of the Yangtze River, and her accent is very similar to that of Song Pan'er. She is used to listening to the Beijing dialect, and when she suddenly hears the local accent, the expression of the Princess of Nanchang becomes friendly.

She is only in her twenties this year, but she is very calm in her work.

"I haven't been in Beijing long." Princess Nanchang said with a smile, "I lived there for half a year before and then went to Jiangxi with the prince. I wasn't familiar with everyone, and the prince didn't like me walking around very much. Our two families lived together, and we often

Come and have a chat."

"I am also new to Beijing." Song Pan'er smiled and hurriedly recounted her own experience.

Princess Nanchang was surprised that her and Song Pan'er's experiences were so similar.

The two of them talked a lot.

Gu Jinzhi sat aside and listened.

Zhu Zhongjun was a fool in front of others. He ate snacks, pulled Gu Jinzhi's sleeves, and stayed quietly beside Gu Jinzhi.

"My son-in-law liked the shortcakes that Miss Gu sent over last time." Princess Nanchang said with a smile. "My prince tasted one piece and said it was delicious. After the New Year, when you have some free time, you can teach me."

"Why wait until the New Year?" Song Pan'er was very enthusiastic, "That shortbread was made by my serving girl over there. You have a maid here who is good at pastries. Send her over and learn how to do it.

…”

Princess Nanchang didn't expect Song Pan'er to be so straightforward.

She was stunned for a moment, then said yes.

Sure enough, she sent a mother-in-law to make shortbread and other snacks for Mu Qingxue that day.

Mu Qing's craftsmanship is passed down from family to family.

Her maternal grandfather opened a small pastry shop. The craftsmanship was well-known. However, after her maternal grandfather passed away, her uncle did not learn how to learn, and the business fell into despair. Mu Qing's mother knew how to do it, but she did not want to do that business and would rather

Go to a wealthy family to find a job.

Mu Qing learned this from her mother.

She handed over the making of plum blossom cakes and several other snacks to the wife of the King of Nanchang.

The old woman was the dowry of the Princess of Nanchang and came from the south of the Yangtze River. She also taught Mu Qing several small crafts from the south of the Yangtze River.

After going back and forth, we developed some friendship.

When they arrived in Laba, the Queen Mother finally found an excuse to invite King Luyang and Gu Jinzhi into the palace.

The emperor also thought about his other brother in Beijing, so he issued an order for the King of Nanchang to bring the princess and the prince into the palace to eat Laba porridge with the queen mother.

Concubines of second rank and above also came.

There is no need to go to court today, the emperor arrived early.

The five-year-old eldest prince, the three-year-old eldest princess, and the one-year-old second princess were also accompanied by their nannies from their respective palaces and sat down quietly.

Gu Jinzhi met his sixth sister Gu Wanzhi.

She is a second-grade virtuous concubine, and her makeup is exquisite, making her more beautiful than when she was at home.

Gu Jinzhi's identity was awkward and he didn't know how to sit down.

Zhu Zhongjun just held her hand and wouldn't let go.

In this era, the hierarchy is strict enough. Since he wants to pretend to be a fool, he should get all the benefits of being a fool, such as making Gu Jinzhi disobey the rules and do whatever he wants.

Finally, Gu Jinzhi sat next to King Luyang just like the Princess of Nanchang.

It's not surprising to everyone.

King Luyang took Gu Jinzhi, who in the palace didn't know?

Once you get used to it, you won't be surprised.

The Queen Mother said yes, who dares to say no?

Even if I felt it was inappropriate, I would only dare to mutter in my heart and not dare to show it on the surface.

After drinking Laba porridge, we sat with the Queen Mother for a while before leaving.

The Queen Mother kept Zhu Zhongjun again.

"...The emperor has told the Ai family about your family's affairs." The Queen Mother mentioned the matter that Gu Jinzhi's family had handled, her tone was full of relief, "This is good, it has taken a good lead! But, those

The gold was originally awarded to you by the emperor, but you sent it back..."

"The family is not short of food and drink." Gu Jinzhi said with a smile, "In the state-owned war, we should spend all our money to contribute. We are just borrowing flowers to offer Buddhas and donating the emperor's rewards. It is not worth anything. Instead, we get a title. We are all emperors."

The grace is mighty.”

The Queen Mother knew that Gu Jinzhi was very aware of the situation between herself and King Luyang, and she sighed endlessly.

The Gu family doesn't know who is behind the plan.

Is it Gu Shifei?

With this wisdom, the King of Luyang will be considered a good wife, and he will be able to live in a stable position in the future.

The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction.

The Queen Mother asked Zhu Zhongjun if he was okay.

Zhu Zhongjun agreed to get into the Empress Dowager's arms.

The Queen Mother liked it so much that she kept them for lunch and didn't let Zhu Zhongjun and Gu Jinzhi go home until the afternoon.

The Gu family delivered Laba porridge from many people.

There are also rewards from the palace.

Song Paner also sent them back one by one.

"...Mrs. Hu and Hu Jie came today and talked for a long time." Song Pan'er told Gu Jinzhi, "I heard that Marquis Yongxi had dysentery and he has not recovered for almost half a month. Mrs. Hu came to tell me

, do you expect me to tell you after listening to it, you went to see it?"

Gu Jinzhi smiled.

Song Pan'er took Gu Jinzhi's hand seriously and said, "You haven't remembered anything about the Ning family in Yiyan? These people in the capital are all fine people. Unlike Yanling Mansion, the folk customs are simple and simple. Even if he is cured, it is rare for him to say thank you, but he will get into trouble, which is not worth it!"

"Mom, I've written it down," Gu Jinzhi said, "I'll listen to you."

Only then did Song Paner smile with satisfaction.
