For Princess Jian's illness, Gu Jinzhi prescribed twice and went to see her twice. As a result, Princess Jian didn't want to take the medicine prescribed by Gu Jinzhi at all.

Even though Gu Jinzhi was a doctor practicing medicine, she still did what a doctor should do, and besides, she was not a doctor...

Prince Jian's house always kept a low profile, but when it came to treating Gu Jinzhi and Zhu Zhongjun, he seemed to be able to satisfy them with his excessive demands.

Gu Jinzhi wrote a reply and continued reading without thinking much.

But the more Zhu Zhongjun thought about it, the angrier he became. Immediately, he got out of bed and walked a few steps, and found that his legs didn't hurt much. He said to Gu Jinzhi: "I'm going out..."

Gu Jinzhi looked up and asked him in surprise: "What are you going out for?"

In the twelfth lunar month of winter, the water dripping outside turned into ice. Although there was a thin sun, it did not feel any warmth when it shone on me.

Zhu Zhongjun's legs are not suitable for going out in this kind of weather.

"I'm going to Prince Jian's Mansion." Zhu Zhongjun said matter-of-factly, "Last time you rejected the visit of their princess, and now you come again, isn't this forcing someone to do something difficult? If I never come forward, they will still think you and I are soft persimmons. I want to

Go see King Jian and tell him clearly."

"I don't think so." Gu Jinzhi said, "What's such a big deal that you should go and question it like this? Is it more important to them or to your legs?"

"You are also a royal concubine, with the same rank as Princess Jian. They don't take you seriously like this. You clearly refused but came again and again. This is treating you lightly." Zhu Zhongjun said, "You are not doing anything wrong.

,Why should I be treated lightly?"

Zhu Zhongjun couldn't swallow this breath.

He would have trouble with anyone who had trouble with his wife.

Gu Jinzhi's heart felt slightly warm. She smiled and pulled Zhu Zhongjun back to the kang, letting him lie down under the quilt to keep warm.

"I don't think you are as protective as you." Gu Jinzhi smiled and said, "You go. If King Jian repeatedly talks about the princess's illness and you still refuse, wouldn't it mean that you don't care about your family? Pretending not to be at home and not seeing them,

In the future, there will be excuses. Saying that I didn’t know at the beginning. It’s only natural to ask for money again..."

Zhu Zhongjun was still unhappy.

But I had just stood in the room, and my legs were a little cold.

You can't go out after all.

It's bitingly cold outside and the carriage is bumpy. If the root of the disease is left behind in this leg, it's ultimately the result of the hardship.

Zhu Zhongjun was thinking about how the lion would open his mouth and lie back on the kang obediently.

The couple each took a book and read it.

The earth dragon was burned in the house. It was warm as spring, so there was no open fire. Haitang moved two pots of wintersweet bonsai from Gu's house and placed them in the house, where the fragrance lingered.

When it was almost noon, Song Pan'er sent someone to ask if they were going over for lunch.

Gu Jinzhi thought about Zhu Zhongjun's legs and decided not to walk so much in the cold. He asked Haitang to tell him that he would stay at the Wangfu Annex to eat today and was too lazy to run.

Haitang rushed over and told Song Pan'er truthfully: "The princess said that it would be better for the prince not to be cold..."

Song Pan'er nodded, feeling a little disappointed.

Even though Gu Jinzhi was the only one missing, it felt like half of the excitement in the house had suddenly died down.

After Song Yanzhao came, in order to make it easier for him to study quietly, Song Pan'er asked a small kitchen to be opened in the outer courtyard to cook for him, so that he would not come back and run around in the morning and evening.

Gu Yanzhen and Brother Xuan were also afraid of the cold, so they followed Song Yanzhao to eat in the small kitchen in the outer courtyard.

The only people eating inside were Song Paner, Xiao Shi and Xiao Eleven.

The two boys are almost three years old.

Little Eleven is weak and sickly, and loves to cry. Although he can talk, he is very noisy. Little Ten is silent and can't speak a word so far. It's useless to teach him.

After lunch, the two little ones were taken down by the wet nurse to take a nap. Song Pan'er met some women in charge and talked about the New Year.

Just because the family has not yet given up their obedience, everything will be simple during the Chinese New Year, and nothing major will happen.

It only took half an hour to handle it.

Song Pan'er was a little bored and too lazy to pick up a needle and thread. She thought she hadn't been to the old house for a few days, so she wanted to talk to the eldest lady.

She called Mrs. Song and asked her to take care of things at home: "If there is anything, if it's not too important, you can help with it. The two children can watch..."

Song's mother said: "Don't worry."

Song Pan'er took her maid Mu Qing to the old house.

The eldest lady came to greet her in person.

"...I heard that your natal nephew entered the provincial examination, won the imperial examination, and went to Beijing to take the examination?" The eldest lady asked Song Pan'er, "Why didn't you come and tell me? I planned to send someone to ask.

I invite you to your home for a meal, but you are afraid of delaying your children's studies."

Speaking of this, Song Paner was very proud.

But she said humbly: "What a big deal, how dare you send someone to see him? These days, he is really immersed in studying. In two months, when the Spring Festival is over, I will bring him to kowtow to you."

"Isn't this a big deal?" The eldest lady said with a smile, "Of all the children in the world, if they are not prodigies, who can win the prize at such a young age?"

It is rare to win the examination at a young age.

But Song Yanzhao was also nineteen years old.

Although there are not many candidates of this age, there is no shortage of them. There are several every year.

The eldest lady said it in such an exaggerated way, but Song Pan'er was very happy in her heart.

"You praise him." Song Pan'er said to Yourong Yan.

"I have always been honest and told the truth." The doctor said, "When I am appointed as a Jinshi and enter the Hanlin Academy, our family should also get rid of the service and make a lot of fun for the children."

Song Paner thought so too.

She also told the eldest lady about her role as a matchmaker for Song Yanzhao: "...she is Hu Zeyu's daughter."

When the eldest lady heard that she was Hu Zeyu's daughter, she was stunned for a while and didn't remember who Hu Zeyu was, and looked confused.

"Hu Zeyu is a side brother of Yongxihou Mansion." Song Pan'er explained.

"Oh, their family..." The eldest lady suddenly realized. In fact, she was pretending, she still didn't know.

There are so many officials in the capital, and Hu Zeyu is a small fifth-rank official. He has no interests or conflicts with the eldest lady. Mrs. Hu is not from the eldest lady's circle. How could she know?

Song Pan'er looked at the eldest lady's eyes and expected that she must be perfunctory. Thinking about it, it makes sense. There are so many people in Beijing, and the eldest lady doesn't go out often, so it's impossible for her to know them all.

Song Pan'er carefully explained to the eldest lady: "When we were in Yanling Mansion, Hu Zeyu was the prefect and had frequent contacts. Later, the year we entered the capital, Hu Zeyu also went to the Ministry of Punishment and relied on Yongxi Marquis to seek advice.

He is a doctor of the fifth rank. His girl was born in the same year, month and day as Sister Jin..."

"Oh, their family!" The eldest lady really remembered it this time.

There are indeed many people and things in Beijing. But Song Pan'er mentioned it more than once that he lived in the same year, month and day as Gu Jinzhi, and the eldest lady had an impression.

She also met Hu Jie twice at the banquet hosted by the Hu family of Marquis Yongxi.

"That girl from the Hu family is very well-born. In terms of appearance, only Sister Po in our family can compare with her. Yes, she is a talented man and a beautiful woman. They are a match made in heaven." The eldest lady said with a smile.

"No, Hu Jie is the most beautiful." Song Pan'er said.

Song Paner, the future nephew and wife, is not stingy with words of praise.

She complimented her, and the eldest lady followed up with another, and they talked for a long time.

Then, the eldest lady suddenly thought of something. She asked Song Pan'er: "Does their family have close contact with the Yongxi Hou Mansion?"

"Hu Zeyu was supported by Marquis Yongxi," Song Pan'er said. "They are just side branches. There are so many side branches of the Hu family, just because Hu Zeyu is smart and clever, and he pleases the old lady of the Hu family.

His family supported him everywhere, and he was able to achieve the dignity he has today..."

The eldest lady's eyes darkened slightly.

Song Pan'er saw this and asked her: "Why, have you heard something?"

"That's not true..." The eldest lady paused for a moment and continued to smile, "Maybe I'm overly concerned. A few years ago, the eldest princess in Chongqing married her daughter-in-law at her house. I went to have a wedding banquet with Mrs. Xuanpinghou, Yong

Mrs. Xihou was at the same table. Mrs. Xuanpinghou was at odds with Mrs. Yongxihou. Then Mrs. Xuanpinghou visited me, and I asked her if there was any quarrel between her and the Hu family.

She said that Mrs. Yongxihou was a decent person, but the old lady of the Hu family was someone not to be messed with. She even hated Mrs. Yongxihou. She also said, let us not deal with the Yongxihou Mansion in the future.

, that old lady looks down upon us the most, those who have risen halfway..."

The Marquis of Xuanping, whose surname was Li, followed the late Emperor in his personal expedition to the desert, won four battles, and was granted the title of Marquis.

In the past, Marquis Xuanping was just a soldier.

There are many such newly wealthy families in Beijing.

The Gu family also counts.

"...I met that old lady once. She was kind and kind, but I didn't know her temperament." Song Pan'er said.

"I don't know either." The eldest lady said with a smile, "Mrs. Li said it, who knows whether it's true or not. If you hadn't mentioned the Hu family, I would have forgotten about it. But I'm telling you, keep it in your heart.

Be careful. Since Hu Zeyu's family relies on the Yongxihou Mansion, it is impossible for the Yongxihou Mansion to keep silent about the marriage of Hu Zeyu's daughter. When the time comes, you have an idea in your mind and take your time to measure it."

Song Paner smiled.

She was thinking about the eldest lady's words and was no longer in the mood to chat.

Seeing that Song Pan'er was not in a good mood, the eldest lady said that it was getting late.

Song Pan'er was about to stand up and say goodbye when she saw a little maid at the second door running in hurriedly and said, "People outside said that the mother next to Grandma Fourth Aunt is here and wants to see the eldest lady."

Gu Shanzhi, the fourth girl who married into the Yuan family, was the biggest headache for the eldest lady.

Hearing that she sent someone back and only asked for the eldest lady, the eldest lady couldn't help but sigh.

She said helplessly: "Please come in."

Song Pan'er was also curious about what happened to the Yuan family, so she sat down without saying anything about leaving.

It's not easy for the eldest lady to drive her away.

After a while, a mother in her forties ran in quickly. She was Gu Shanzhi's roommate.

She first knelt down and kowtowed to the eldest lady, and then saluted Song Pan'er.

The eldest lady asked someone to move the brocade for her to sit down, and asked her what was going on.

"Grandma Si Gu said that the house is very stuffy and she asked you to take her back to stay for a few days..." the mother said.

Song Pan'er frowned.

The eldest lady also knew something was wrong.

But she didn't want to worry about it anymore. It was the Chinese New Year, and the Gu family was still busy with their own affairs, so the eldest lady didn't have the time to worry about the fourth girl.

She smiled and said: "Little New Year will be here in five or six days. If you pick her up at this time, you have to send her back again. Tell Fourth Aunt Grandma that I will send someone to pick her up after the New Year..."

The eldest lady didn't even bother to ask anything, so she simply refused.

The mother looked embarrassed.

The power was out for a whole day yesterday, and it didn't come back until after 6 p.m. Then it was disconnected due to the power outage, and the router at home was damaged because of the outage. The power and network were just restored.

After dinner, I have to go to the hospital to get the report of the last examination. I hope it is benign. If I come back early in the evening, I will try to update two more chapters. If it is malignant, I may not be in the mood to type words anymore. Then the chapter
