: Being scolded

Not long after Yan Shao woke up, Gu Jinzhi's two younger brothers also came back with Yan Ying.

Two children gathered around Gu Jinzhi.

No matter what they want, they come to Gu Jinzhi.

After following their wet nurse to Beijing, they stayed in the palace annex and did not follow them into the palace. When Zhu Zhongjun and his family left the palace, the wet nurse still took care of the children, but the children troubled Gu Jinzhi in everything.

Gu Jinzhi is not like a mother, but more like a wet nurse.

Song Pan'er saw this and turned her eyes several times on Gu Jinzhi.

Gu Jinzhi seemed unconscious.

It was approaching the end of Shenshi time, and the sky outside began to darken, and the slanting light of dusk dyed the courtyard golden.

Zhu Zhongjun also took Yanshan back to the Gu family.

The father and son walked in the front door, and Gu Yanzhen, who had gone out to pay New Year greetings, also returned home.

When Song Pan'er saw that everyone had returned, he arranged to have dinner in the flower hall and sent his maid to the outer courtyard to invite Gu Xuanzhi and Gu Xiuzhi.

Gu Xiuzhi came, but Gu Xuanzhi didn't come. He said he had gone out and went to Xuanpinghou's mansion. The fourth young master of Xuanpinghou's Li family had the best friendship with Gu Xuanzhi, and they often interacted with each other.

"The prince and Sister Jin are both at home, why did he run out?" Gu Yanzhen was a little unhappy.

"He's such a big kid, why are you holding him back?" Song Pan'er said. Although she was smiling, her words were a bit heavy.

She didn't like Gu Yanzhen's bad remarks about Brother Xuan very much.

Especially after Brother Xiu entered school, Song Pan'er felt that Gu Yanzhen was partial and was very dissatisfied with Brother Xuan. He always found fault with Brother Xuan. Only when Gu Yanzhen said a bad word about Brother Xuan, Song Pan'er immediately got angry.

.Just like now.

She could say it herself, but Gu Yanzhen couldn't.

Zhu Zhongjun and Gu Jinzhi were present. Gu Yanzhen frowned slightly and did not refute Song Pan'er's words.

Gu Xiuzhi on the side secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was very afraid that his father and aunt would quarrel in front of outsiders, because if they quarreled, he would probably be mentioned. He was the source of quarrels in the family.

As for Zhu Zhongjun and Gu Jinzhi, it was even more difficult for them to answer the conversation rashly, so the situation was a bit embarrassing.

Seeing this, Song Pan'er explained to Gu Jinzhi and Zhu Zhongjun: "Since June last year, the curfew has been banned in Beijing. The city is very lively most of the night. Brother Xuan and the others know the rules when eating and drinking, and never forget to check the bars.

I feel relieved to go inside. The family tradition of the Li family of Marquis Xuanping is strict. Besides, most of his young men are always kept at home like daughters. They have no future..."

Zhu Zhongjun smiled.

Curfew rules were very popular before the Sui and Tang Dynasties. After the Sui and Tang Dynasties, most prosperous cities canceled curfews.

Beijing has also abolished curfew before.

In the 21st year of the late emperor's reign, two bandit troubles occurred, and the curfew was reset.

Then, because of the unrest in the north, the curfew was originally planned to be implemented for one year, but it was not considered to be withdrawn. When he came back, the first emperor passed away, and the new emperor could not change the previous emperor's policies for three years.

It has been delayed again and again for more than thirty years.

Now that the country is prosperous and the world is at peace, the Tatars and Oara people in Mongolia in the west are fighting each other and fighting fiercely. The border of the imperial court is peaceful. The capital is living and working in peace and contentment, and the houses are not closed at night. The curfew is again banned and freedoms are relaxed.

Young boys eating and drinking outside comfort themselves by saying that they will behave themselves.

Everyone has a time when they are young...

Zhu Zhongjun didn't want to talk more about this. He knew that Song Pan'er didn't like it, so he just talked about the curfew: "... In the eleventh year of Shuntian, Luzhou abolished the curfew and added two night patrol teams. This

In the past four or five years, there hasn’t been any big trouble. On the contrary, things are better than before.

It is several times more prosperous. Apart from that, the palace treasury is even fuller. The capital is an important place, so naturally it cannot be compared with that of Luzhou. The capital is several times larger than Luzhou, and the people are many times as many, so it is easy for troubles to happen. However, if the night guard guards are properly guarded, they can be banned.

Curfews are beneficial..."

This view coincides with Gu Yanzhen's.

"The emperor advocated the abolition of the curfew, saying that the capital was too depressed and lacked the singing and dancing life that should have been expected in the prosperous times. The curfew should be lifted and the night market should be made lively. Many cabinet ministers and ministers opposed it, and it took several months before it was settled.

....." Gu Yanzhen said.

He also likes to talk about politics, which is probably a common trait among men.

Most of Gu Yanzhen’s views come from Hu Zeyu.

Zhu Zhongjun followed Gu Yanzhen's words and talked a lot about the curfew.

The conversation didn't stop until the table started.

After dinner, Gu Yanzhen still had some thoughts and took the initiative to mention it.

Zhu Zhongjun then talked with him.

Everyone was listening.

After a while, several children yawned again and again.

Song Pan'er saw this and felt sorry for her grandson, so she interrupted their son-in-law's conversation and said: "It's late, the prince has been tired for a day, and the children are sleepy, so let's go first. Let's talk tomorrow when we have free time.

....."

Gu Yanzhen laughed and stopped talking.

Song Pan'er wanted to personally escort Gu Jinzhi to the corner gate.

Gu Jinzhi refused again and said: "It's cold outside, the road is frozen, and it's dark. Don't slide on you. Are we still afraid? There are people like us. You should rest first. I'll come with you tomorrow morning.

meal."

Song Pan'er just sent her to the entrance of the hospital.

Gu Yanzhen and Brother Xiu went to the outer courtyard and sent Zhu Zhongjun and others to the corner gate on the way.

Listening to the sound of footsteps getting farther and farther away, and gradually disappearing, and the surroundings were silent, Song Pan'er returned to the house.

Sitting on the kang, Song Pan'er frowned.

In front of Zhu Zhongjun and Gu Jinzhi, it was hard for Song Pan'er to tell Brother Xuan's fault. After all, such an old son must save him enough face in front of his sister and brother-in-law.

Privately, Song Paner was furious.

Brother Xuan is getting more and more outrageous.

There was an important guest at home, so he ran out without saying a word, and it was at night. This seemed very frivolous and uncultured.

Song Paner does not restrict her children from going out.

But there are etiquettes when going out. Such ignorance of etiquette shows that she has not been educated properly, which makes Song Paner lose face. Moreover, Brother Xuan's recent performance is nothing worthy of making Song Paner proud, so Song Paner decided not to be tolerant anymore

He, I need to talk about him tonight.

It's been a long time since I scolded him directly.

Doesn’t it mean that if you don’t scold, you don’t understand the truth?

The more Song Pan'er thought about it, the angrier she became. She snorted coldly, brought tea and drank it slowly, and ordered Haitang beside her: "Send someone to find Master Ninth. If you find him, ask him to come back immediately and come to me. I have something to ask him."

.”

Song Pan'er's mother, Song's mother, returned to her hometown in Yanling Prefecture last year to take care of her old age. Now the married Haitang is beside Song Pan'er and is the mother in charge.

Haitang smiled and said: "Let's go find him now. It's so late, why don't you take a rest first and ask me more questions tomorrow morning."

Song Pan'er waved her hand and said, "You ordered people to find it, I have a reason. This time is too outrageous. If it were normal, I wouldn't bother to say it. The older you get, the less polite you are. If things go on like this, you will be killed by Brother Xiu.

My son is so crushed that he will never be able to get ahead in this life."

Haitang did not dare to say any more.

Mentioning Brother Xiu is a taboo for Song Pan'er, so it's best to be less persuasive and let her vent, otherwise more people will be implicated.

Song Paner sat on the kang and drank tea.

After Gu Yanzhen saw off Gu Jinzhi and Zhu Zhongjun, he turned back to the inner courtyard.

Seeing Song Pan'er's aggressive look, he must be waiting for Brother Xuan again. Gu Yanzhen was afraid that the city gate would catch fire and damage the fish in the pond, so he couldn't avoid it. He hurriedly went to the clean room to wash his hands, then went into the back room and lay down, pretending not to know.

Song Pan'er has been sitting in the East Room waiting.

She had three cups of tea replaced.

About half an hour later, Brother Xuan came back.

Song Pan'er smelled it specifically and found that Brother Xuan's body was not strong in alcohol. Song Pan'er's anger dropped by two points.

With a cold face, she asked Brother Xuan: "Who did you go to have a drink with?"

Song Pan'er knew that he had gone to Xuanping Marquis Li's house, so he still asked.

"With Li Huai and the others..." Gu Xuanzhi's voice was a little low, and he lowered his head. He seemed very reasonable.

Li Huai is the fourth young master of Xuanpinghou Mansion.

When he was ten years old in Shuntian, Gu Yantao bought a new house. During the housewarming ceremony, the house was full of guests.

It was at that time that Gu Xuanzhi met Li Huai, the fourth young master of the Xuanping Hou Mansion.

The two soon became close friends.

Five or six years have passed in a flash.

"...Your seventh sister hasn't been back to Beijing for how many years. She just left the palace today. It's her first day back. Is it appropriate for your brother to be absent?" Song Pan'er's voice couldn't help but scream.

Gu Xuanzhi remained silent.

"...You are young, there are guests at home, but you go out to meet with friends at night, is it appropriate?" Song Pan'er's voice raised another level. Gu Xuanzhi's bleak look angered Song even more

Pan'er.

She doesn't like the child being so useless.

Gu Xuanzhi's head dropped lower.

Every time Song Paner talked about him, he responded silently.

"Say something!" Song Pan'er looked at him like this, her blood was boiling and her voice was louder, "Think about what you have done, which one is appropriate? Are you now a Hanlin master or a marquis?

Worship me, are you enjoying yourself like this?"

Mentioning this, I couldn't help but mention Gu Xiuzhi, "...Are you stupider than him? He just crawled out of the belly of a cheap concubine. He has been elected. No matter where he goes, everyone respects him.

How much does he deserve, and what do you get? Could it be that the person who crawled out of my belly is worse than a cheap concubine? Over the years, is it that your husband is not as good as him, or that your food and clothing are not as good as his..."

Song Pan'er's voice was so loud that Gu Yanzhen in the back room could hear it.

The maids and women were too proud to show off.

When it comes to Gu Xiuzhi, the topics are endless.

Brother Xuan is such a big kid, it's not good to scold him like this.

The whole room of ministers could hear it.

Gu Yanzhen stood up and walked to the East Room. Seeing Song Pan'er's face turning red, Gu Xuanzhi lowered his head in silence. He said, "It's so late at night. If the child is not tired, you should rest..." Then

Then he said to Gu Xuanzhi, "Brother Xuan, please go back first."

Gu Xuanzhi stood without daring to move.

Song Pan'er didn't speak, and Gu Xuanzhi didn't dare to move his feet.

Song Pan'er glared at Gu Yanzhen and said: "Why are you pretending to be a good person! If you keep a few more words, why do you want me, a mother, to worry about you? A young man of seventeen or eighteen years old wants me, a mother, to teach you, so let's talk about it.

It’s all a joke. Now you just say a few words and you don’t care whether the child is good or not. Anyway, if you have many sons, there will always be one who will support you!"

The fire just burned Gu Yanzhen.

Gu Yanzhen regretted it endlessly.

If he didn't get involved, Song Pan'er would have stopped cursing a few more times. Now that he's better, he probably won't be able to stop for a while.

"Mom, it was my fault." Gu Xuanzhi, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "I went out today for a reason."

Song Pan'er stopped immediately and looked at Gu Xuanzhi.
