Chapter 261 Lethargy
Gu Jinzhi has a headache about needlework.
"Are the nanny in the palace very strict?" Gu Jinzhi asked his mother.
Song Pan'er smiled and said, "The nannies in the palace may not be strict. But the empress dowager said that the master at home did not teach you with care. I am afraid that it is because of your girl status and is afraid of your master's ability.
I am the one who sent me should be strict.”
Gu Jinzhi frowned even deeper.
Song Pan'er smiled again, patted her hand gently, and said, "What's the difficulty? Are you frowning like this? Girls frowning is not elegant, so don't do this."
"It's not a difficult situation, I just feel that there is no need." Gu Jin's words.
She went to the pharmacy to help, and the empress dowager and the emperor knew about it.
Therefore, when she showed up in public, the royal family did not criticize her for keeping her in the boudoir like a famous lady.
Now, because of the trivial matter of embroidery, she specially sent a nanny to her.
I can only say that the Empress Dowager must have seen her embroidery work.
Her only finished product is the incense bag she gave to Zhu Zhongjun.
"What's the need?" Song Pan'er looked stern, "You should also use your snacks. For your needlework, the Empress Dowager is worried..."
Gu Jinzhi had no choice but to know that.
Although she knew that no matter how hard she tried, she might not be able to learn well.
She was not interested in needlework, this was the source. For example, when she was a child, her mother forced her to learn piano, which killed her; but when she studied medicine with her grandfather, her parents felt that it was very boring and afraid that she would not be able to stand it, but she was interested.
"I will do my best." Gu Jin's way.
Song Pan'er then regained her smile.
In the afternoon, Song Paner also took Gu Jinzhi out to pay New Year's greetings.
They went to the old house first.
The aunt gave Gu Jinzhi a big red envelope as New Year's money.
Song Paner was more concerned about the fourth girl Gu Shanzhi. Last time he was busy with the New Year, he didn't ask him what happened to Gu Shanzhi.
The eldest lady didn't know.
She said, "I should come back tomorrow to pay New Year's greetings. From the fourth to the seventh day of the day, I will start the banquet here, and you all will come."
Song Paner said yes.
Then, she and Gu Jinzhi went to greet the second wife again.
The second wife is quite cold.
In this family, the eldest lady is a first-rank imperial edict. Song Paner is a third-rank, and they are all more glorious and decent than the second-rank lady.
The second wife's daughter went to the palace to become the imperial concubine. She should be the most prominent, but she was the only one who did not have an imperial title, which made her feel very unbalanced.
I can't remember it on weekdays and I don't bother to care about it.
But during the Chinese New Year, if you don’t have a title, you can’t go to the palace to pay New Year’s greetings. Every year when Song Paner and the eldest lady enter the palace, the second lady feels angry.
So Song Paner and Gu Jinzhi came to pay New Year's greetings on the first day of the first day, and they happened to be angry.
With such an attitude, Song Pan'er naturally didn't want to talk to her. She said a few words on the scene and took Gu Jinzhi back to the main courtyard to go to the room.
The second wife didn't even give Gu Jinzhi the New Year's money.
——*—*——
When he returned to the upper room of the main courtyard, the eldest lady asked about the old man.
"I'll take the children and follow you here to wish you a New Year?" said the eldest lady.
The old man did not attend the ancestor worship on New Year’s Eve last year.
The eldest lady was a little worried about her.
Song Pan'er sighed and said, "I don't have to go there, I can't see you even if I go there. Sister Jin and I came to pay New Year's greetings. Huaqin said that the old man was still sleeping. He has slept a lot recently..."
The eldest lady's heart was slightly sank.
The old man’s prophecy last year is probably coming true.
On the one hand, the eldest lady was reluctant to part with the old man, and on the other hand, she was also worried about the eldest lady.
Once the old man goes, the old man will resign and return to his ancestral home to observe the system for three years.
Now he is in his prime, and he is afraid he is unwilling to leave.
At that time, the master will definitely get angry again and the house will be in a mess again.
"You look at the old man's complexion?" asked the eldest lady, "He was very healthy last time I met him."
"I met him the day before yesterday. He was stronger than before. Maybe he slept a lot recently and looked better." Song Pan'er said.
But I was wondering, is it a rebirth?
But she didn't say this in front of the eldest lady.
The eldest lady thought of...
The sisters-in-law looked at each other for a moment and didn't know what to say.
In the end, Song Pan'er silently took Gu Jinzhi away and went home.
Song Pan'er did not go back to the room and took Gu Jinzhi to the old man's yard.
Huaqin said again: "The old man hasn't woken up..."
Song Paner lowered his voice and said anxiously: "Why aren't you awake yet? When did the old man sleep last night?"
Yesterday, the old man did not go to worship his ancestors, nor did he have New Year's Eve dinner with everyone.
Huaqin stopped him and said that the old man had told him not to disturb him.
"I just slept in the first half of Hai." Huaqin thought for a while and said.
It's almost done now.
The old man slept for nine hours today...
It's almost a day.
Gu Jinzhi was very worried.
She wanted to go in and take a look.
Huaqin said, "Miss Seven, don't disturb the old man. The old man wants to sleep a little longer, so you can let him sleep more. The young man went to see him just now. The old man is fine, he just slept..."
Gu Jinzhi's steps stopped.
"The old man is awake, remember to tell us." Gu Jin's words.
Then she pulled her mother and the two returned to the main courtyard.
Song Paner's heart kept beating.
At the beginning of the new year, don't have any trouble.
Gu Yanzhen took Brother Xuan and Brother Xiu out to pay New Year's greetings. Only Song Paner, Gu Jinzhi and two youngest sons who had just turned one year old were at home. She was full of words at the moment and didn't know who to discuss with.
What if the old man is really gone...
Many things need to be prepared in advance...
There are many other things that need to be put aside first. For example, the first thing that happened between Gu Jinzhi and Gu Pozhi, a second wife and fifth girl, had to be put on hold.
Gu Jinzhi sat for a while, and saw that his mother had nothing to say, so he went back to his house first.
She took out the needle and thread to practice her hands, so that the nanny in the palace would not come. She had her hands on her, and she was scolded for the first time.
But I can't calm down no matter how hard I go.
Disturbed, she had to call Zhilei to polish the ink again, and she was ready to write.
The ink was ground, and she broke three of them in one breath.
Zhilei knew that she must be in a bad mood now, so she was silent and waiting quietly.
Gu Jinzhi wrote a few more times in a row, but it was still not good.
She simply threw away the pen and sat on the kang a little weak. Her heart felt sour. She remembered the feeling of grandpa leaving her in her previous life.
When my grandfather passed away in his previous life, Rongnan was two years old. Although he was reluctant to leave, his grandfather finally saw his beloved granddaughter getting married and having children.
What about now?
Gu Jinzhi is not married yet.
Even if the old man leaves, he will feel regretful, right?
Thinking of this, my eyes get wet.
Zhilei hurried over to comfort her, gently held her hand and asked, "Girl. Where did you feel wronged? The girl told me, I'll help the girl with an idea..."
Gu Jinzhi gently touched the corner of his eyes.
She shook her head and said, "I'm fine, I'm just worried about my grandfather. Huaqin said that he had slept for nine hours today, and I felt a mess."
Zhilei also heard the old man's death in a year.
Now, it's exactly one year.
Zhilei couldn't even say anything at all. She had to put her arms around Gu Jinzhi's shoulder and gently hug her like an older sister.
The old man never woke up after sleeping like this.
When Gu Yanzhen came back in the afternoon, he heard about it and was very anxious. He and Song Pan'er went in and watched it twice, but Huaqin didn't dare to stop him anymore.
At noon on the second day of the lunar month, the old man was still not awake, so Gu Yanzhen sent someone to tell the old house that the eldest lady and the eldest master were prepared.
The master is not at home, so he goes out to pay New Year's greetings.
The eldest lady was stunned for a moment.
With the predictions from last year and the abnormal sleep in the back, I am afraid that the old man will be really bad this time. The eldest lady doesn't care about the sadness.
The old man's funeral naturally fell on her again.
She needs to make plans early to avoid being in a hurry, which is really disrespectful to the old man.
The most urgent task is to have a good coffin.
The eldest lady asked her to go to the outer courtyard and called the general manager and two guests to come in and asked them to do the matter: "First go and make a great board and ask for the best water nanmu."
The chief manager and the two disciples could guess that something happened to the old man.
The three of them hurriedly said, and turned around and went.
It was evening that the general manager and two guests came back and said that for a while, there was no excellent water nanmu in the timber shops in Beijing.
"...I know a timber businessman, and he is a little privately." The chief executive said to the eldest lady quietly, "He has a privately hidden piece of golden nanmu. I heard that it will not rot for a thousand years. It only costs five thousand taels of silver to carry it.
I came back. I made a birthday board and applied a layer of paint, but I couldn’t see it.”
The eldest lady was furious.
"Shameful things! Can we afford that?" the eldest lady scolded, "You are becoming more and more brainless now."
In this dynasty, golden nanmu could only be used by the royal family, and ordinary people would be usurping.
This is what has been spread in recent years and has not yet been included in the law.
But everyone knows it.
The eldest lady didn't know what arrogance had learned from the chief executive and followed the eldest master, and now she is so bold and arbitrary.
This made the eldest lady frightened.
Has the master done this outside that he could obviously be held in the handle?
"It's okay, the Tan family and King Shen each got one." The chief manager didn't care. "Since the Tan family and King Shen can afford it, we can also afford it."
The eldest lady was furious and stared at him suddenly, saying, "If you say this, we can't keep your big Buddha in this small temple."
The chief manager then realized that the eldest lady was really angry, so he knelt down and said wrongly: "The little one is talking nonsense, the lady is a lot of grandma, so go around the little one."
The eldest lady didn't want to compete with the housekeeper, so she let him get up.
"Let's look for it again. Without excellent water nanmu, you need fragrant nanmu." The eldest lady said, "Nanmu does not rot, and longevity board must be nanmu."
The chief manager and his servant left after order.
The eldest lady sent someone to the third room to inquire about the news.
The person who came back said that the old man still didn't wake up. Gu Yanzhen called him twice, but the old man didn't respond.
Now, the three-bedroom people are guarding the old man’s house...
"Go to the shop and tell the eldest master that he will go to the third room too." The eldest lady said.
Then, she asked someone to inform the second room.
After everything was explained, the eldest lady was about to go to the third room, and the eldest master was back.
He ate wine today and was covered in alcohol.
