There is Room For the Poor Daughter - Chapter 650
[Chapter 650, Guard]
Gu’s spirit was buried for seven days, and she was buried in the ancestral grave of the Gu family. These were all discussed by her and Gu Jian a long time ago.
After Granny Gu was buried, Mrs. Yan was going to return to Ningmen Mansion with Yan Zhigao, Mrs. Li, and Yan Wenxiu.
With Sister Gu gone, it would be difficult for her to stay in Peach Blossom Temple any longer.
However, Daohua and Xiao Yeyang stayed behind. They wanted to keep their filial piety, and they were worried about Gu Jian.
“Father, mother, why don’t I stay here too, it’s not good to let the eldest sister stay here alone.”
On the way to the ferry, Yan Wenxiu, who was kept in the dark, looked at the people behind him walking side by side with a worried expression. Daohua and Xiao Yeyang.
Yan Zhigao glanced at Mrs. Li, and Mrs. Li looked at Mrs. Yan again.
Mrs. Yan shook her head: “Master Gu has a weird temper. He definitely doesn’t want to see outsiders at this time. Wen Xiu will come back with us.”
Yan Wenxiu didn’t expect his grandmother to say that, he didn’t believe that she didn’t understand himself It meant that it would be bad for her reputation to let the eldest sister stay alone with Ye Yang.
Seeing what the eldest son wanted to say, Yan Zhigao said directly: “Okay, just listen to your grandmother.”
Yan Wenxiu frowned, with more and more questions in his heart.
My father put down his official duties and stayed here. Together with his mother and grandmother, he personally guarded the spirit of the ancient mother-in-law for seven days.
This confuses him.
Although Master Gu is the elder sister’s master, and Granny Gu can be regarded as a relative, but it is enough for their family to pay homage, and there is no need to guard the spirit in person.
Now at this moment, knowing that letting the eldest sister stay with Ye Yang would harm her reputation, her grandmother, father, and mother did not stop her.
This is so abnormal.
Soon, a group of people came to the ferry.
Mrs. Li pulled Daohua: “Take good care of your master, and send someone to tell the family if there is anything.” Daohua
nodded: “Mother, I know.”
She stopped talking, she still couldn’t digest the fact that the other party was her son-in-law.
Seeing him, Xiao Yeyang took the initiative to ask: “What did Auntie tell Yeyang?” His attitude was very respectful.
Mrs. Li: “Take care of Daohua.”
Xiao Yeyang nodded with a smile: “Don’t worry, Auntie, I will.” Then he looked at Yan Zhigao and asked with a smile, “What orders does Uncle have?”
Yan Zhi Gao couldn’t adapt to the change of identity for a while, thinking that he was now Xiao Yeyang’s father-in-law, he shook his head with a sullen face pretending to be majestic.
Yan Wenxiu stood aside and watched silently, feeling that they were all very strange.
After Mrs. Yan told Daohua a few words, everyone boarded the boat and left.
Watching the boat go away, Xiao Yeyang and Daohua turned around and returned to Peach Blossom Temple.
On the boat, Yan Wenxiu looked at the closed door and wanted to knock on it to get in, but he gave up after holding back.
Grandma told her parents that she didn’t want to call him, probably because there was something she didn’t want him to know, so he couldn’t force him to ask. Thinking of this, he went to the deck.
In the room, Mrs. Yan handed the dragon-shaped jade pendant given by Gu Jian to Mrs. Li: “You should keep this token.”
Mrs. Li took the jade pendant, looked at Mrs. Yan and Yan Zhigao, and said uncertainly: ” Is this the marriage between our daughter and the young prince?”
Looking at the jade pendant, Yan Zhigao felt very complicated, he really couldn’t help but sigh “that’s great” for the eldest daughter’s luck, to save someone casually, but to save someone It went to the head of the emperor’s mother.
“I have worshiped in front of the old lady, so it is naturally settled.” He said, motioning to Mrs. Li to put the jade pendant away.
Mrs. Li felt that this jade pendant was a bit hot, and her heart was very complicated. On the one hand, she was happy that her daughter had a good home, and the little prince could be regarded as the one she had watched grow up. In the future, even if it is based on the friendship with the Yan family over the years, she will treat her daughter well.
But on the other hand, she was a little worried. The identity of the little prince was there. It was not so easy for a daughter to marry into the royal family. It was not easy to be a royal daughter-in-law. If her daughter was wronged in the future, they would not be able to intervene.
The old lady Yan said again: “Let’s know the identities of Sister Gu and Master Gu, and don’t tell others. There is also the marriage between Daohua and Yeyang, after all, the royal family has to make it public, so it can be considered justified. ”
Yan Zhigao and Mrs. Li nodded seriously.
When she returned to Yan Mansion that day, Mrs. Li ordered the housekeeper to remove all bright things in the mansion, and told the concierge that any invitations to the banquet would be rejected.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t know the identity of Granny Gu, but if you know, then their family will have to guard it.
According to the law, when the empress dowager and the concubine passed away, the officials had to observe the festival for three months.
After arranging the house, Mrs. Li took a break and took a sip of tea. Thinking that her daughter had paid homage to Xiao Yeyang, she felt mixed feelings, and she didn’t know whether to be happy or sad.
She gave birth to two sons and a daughter. Who would have thought that she would not be able to intervene in the marriage of the three of them.
At the same time, the capital, the imperial palace.
After the emperor learned the news of the death of the ancient mother-in-law, he locked himself in the Qianqing Palace and did not go to court for three consecutive days.
In an instant, the court was full of rumors that the emperor had not recovered from his injuries and was seriously ill.
Several older princes from the sub-fufu became active and began to make friends with ministers.
Eunuch An looked at the princes who came to inquire about the news with fear, and felt a cold sweat for them.
On the fourth day, the emperor went to court.
Seeing that the emperor’s expression was indeed not good, all the officials and the princes who had received errands couldn’t help but change their expressions.
The emperor saw the expressions of the people below, and the coldness in his eyes became deeper and deeper.
In the subsequent court meeting, the emperor scolded several officials, and the depression in his heart finally vented a little.
However, after coming down to court, the emperor saw his wife go to the Palace of Compassion and Peace to pay her respects, and the anger in his heart burned again.
His biological mother passed away, and only Yan’s family went to mourn and guard the spirit, but the Empress Dowager Jiang could accept greetings from her mother every month. At this moment, the emperor’s hatred for the Jiang family reached its peak.
Especially thinking that as the emperor, he could not openly guard his mother, and he was even more annoyed.
After a period of time, the ministers and concubines found that the emperor’s temper became more and more irritable. Whenever an official’s home held a wedding banquet, or the concubine wore red and green, he would be severely scolded.
The fifth prince, who was planning to marry on February 20th, was directly canceled by the emperor. After that, several officials were demoted, and several concubines were demoted.
Although the officials and concubines were somewhat puzzled by this, they still began to restrain their behavior with discernment.
After all, the emperor’s preferences are everyone’s preferences, and no one wants to make trouble.
At the end of February, the eight kings fled to the northern border, joined forces with the Tatars, and seized three cities in the frontier. The news spread back to the capital and shocked the whole country.
