When she returned to the Chengguo Gongfu, Song Xiang'er was in a good mood.
Although Luoyang Wang is ill, he is still a noble and aristocratic family member. It's not up to people from humble backgrounds like theirs to criticize him.
Although he is not as good as others, he sticks to Gu Jinzhi and is more obedient than his own brother.
He looks very handsome, if he doesn't speak or make a sound, you can't tell that he's foolish. It's just that his actions are somewhat silly, like a child.
Song Pan'er sighed in her heart.
This matter will be of no use if it continues to drag on, so I turned my mind to the garden.
Back home, gave Gu Yanwen the house deed and keys.
Gu Yanzhen followed Hu Zeyu to see several houses in the past two days, and they all looked good at first glance. But upon closer inspection, he could always find some flaws and none of them were perfect.
He was also in a dilemma, which one to choose.
Hu Zeyu came up with many ideas for him.
Gu Yanwen is a scholar by origin, how could he make a living like this? He has been running for two days, his legs are sore and his brain is swollen.
Now Empress Dowager has granted the garden, this matter is considered settled, and Gu Yanwen also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Tomorrow I'll go with you to take a look," said Song Pan'er, "The garden rewarded by the Empress Dowager will surely be good. If everything is fine, we'll choose an auspicious day and move there."
Gu Yanzhong agreed.
Gu Jinzhi then went to her grandfather's place.
She wanted the old man to help her make Zi Xue Dan. The new method she spoke of was actually also obtained by later generations, and it was created by a highly skilled doctor during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. Later, it was also a national first-class prescription.
The old man took the prescription she wrote, looked at it and said: "Zixue Dan was originally from Qianjin Yifang, but even if you modified the formula, you wouldn't dare to be so bold. The medicine can be made, but how about its efficacy? Are you confident?"
Gu Jin nodded: "I'm confident. The Empress Dowager has been coughing for a long time and hurt her lungs, she needs to nourish and moisturize them the most. This medicine is specially made for her."
The old man said no more and said: "Let Huajun take the prescription to fetch medicine, I will make it for you overnight."
Gu Jin made his thanks.
She again mentioned the matter of Empress Dowager rewarding her with a house.
The old man listened, and his heart was slightly moved.
"I know that place, in the west of the city, originally called Yuanbao Hutong, I don't know what name it has been changed to now. It was once given by the previous emperor to Nanchang Wang and Luyang Wang to build their mansions, with some leftover courtyards, which were also beautifully landscaped. So an extra courtyard was added." The old man smiled, "The two brothers of the previous emperor, Shen Wang and Jian Wang, asked for it several times. Because the place was built very well. The previous emperor refused to give it to them. Unexpectedly, the empress dowager rewarded you..."
These, Gu Jin did not know.
"She smiled and said: 'That should be good, right?'"
She had also vaguely heard about the Mu family's affairs back then. It was an old story of treacherous officials dominating the imperial court and later being exterminated after a quarrel.
The old man nodded.
The next day, after breakfast, Song Pan'er and Gu Yanjun went to Yuanbao Hutong to look at the house.
Gu Jinzhi then took the Zi Xue Dan and brought her father's servant, Si Jian, to the palace.
Luyang Wang was still there, specially waiting for her at the gate of Kun Ning Palace, holding a small warmer in his hand. He remembered that Gu Jin was afraid of the cold yesterday and said: "This is for you. Holding it will keep you warm! If you're cold in the future, just tell me!"
Then puffed out chest, wanting to protect Gu Jin like manner.
Gu Jin suddenly had a very strange feeling in his heart.
She handed the medicine box to Sheng Auntie. As a result, Luoyang Wang's hand warmer, made a bow and thanked her.
The Prince of Luoyang hastily said: "No need to thank! The Empress Dowager said that Xiaoxi will be my queen in the future, and I should care for her."
The elder sister-in-law smiled with pursed lips.
Gu Jinzhi really wanted to squeeze out a calm smile as he usually did.
That smile. When it reached his lips, there was a hint of bitterness.
She held a small hand warmer in one hand and took his hand with the other, walking inside.
The King of Louyang looked at her hand holding his own, and smiled with a wide grin. His smile was clean and radiant, like that of an infant's pure innocence. Gu Jinzhi suddenly saw the cherry blossoms dancing in the sky, their fragrance falling gently, carrying a warm and cozy scent.
She took a deep breath, as if she really smelled the fragrance of flowers.
The two of them entered the inner chamber.
At this age, Gu Jinzhi and Lu Yangwang have already reached the stage where men and women do not interact intimately.
Ke Luoyang Wang always held Gu Jin's hand whenever he saw her, being very affectionate.
The Empress Dowager never thought it was disobedient.
Luoyang Wang has already become like this and can't get any better. It's useless to teach him. In that case, it's better to just let him have his way and do as he pleases.
"Take the Zi Xue Dan I've prepared for you, and take it on an empty stomach every time you wake up early, the effect will be better." said Gu Jinzhi.
The empress nodded, although the imperial physician had always told her that medicine should not be taken on an empty stomach, or it would harm her body.
Ke Gujin said so, and Empress Dowager believed her.
The thin sunlight in the morning gradually disappeared behind dark clouds by noon.
It's getting colder and colder.
The Empress Dowager ordered the retention of Gu Jin's meal.
In the afternoon, when he came out of the palace, Lu Yang Wang almost cried again, and was very reluctant to part with Gu Jinzhi.
The charioteer whipped up the horses and the two of them soon passed through the palace gates.
The carriage suddenly came to an abrupt halt.
Gu Jinzhi was sitting in the carriage thinking deeply, when the horse carriage stopped, her thoughts were interrupted, and she hurriedly asked what was going on.
"Miss Gu?" someone outside laughed and said.
It was the voice of a young man, gentle and low, most familiar.
Gu Jin lifted the curtain of the carriage and saw Chen Gongzi. She smiled and said, "It's Chen Gongzi. You've also arrived in the capital?"
He looks like he's going into the palace.
Qin Shenshi stood beside him.
Behind them was a man in his forties, tall and powerful, with a thick beard and bushy eyebrows, exuding an air of majesty.
Just by looking at him, you can tell he's not an ordinary person.
Gu Jin got off the carriage.
Qin Sheng made a bow and shouted "Seventh Sister".
Gu Jinzhi smiled: "Qin Taizheng." Her attitude towards Qin Shenshi was completely different from her polite courtesy to Chen Yuanchao, "My father has mentioned you many times, I don't know if you've arrived in the capital. After finishing your official business, come visit us at our mansion."
Qin Sheng hurriedly replied in the affirmative.
Then he respectfully said to the tall middle-aged man beside him, "This is the seventh young lady of the Gu family of Chengguo Gongfu. At that time in Yanling Fu, the princess's insomnia was also cured by Miss Gu Qi."
He also said to Gu Jin, "This is Yuan Ping Hou Ye."
He is the only son of Princess, Yuanping Hou Jiang Liang.
He doesn't look like a prince and princess at all.
It may also be due to the dense sideburns covering his face.
Gu Jin also paid his respects to her.
Yuan Ping Hou burst out laughing: "I've long heard Mother mention Miss Gu Qi many times. She highly praises Miss Gu's medical skills. I didn't expect Miss Gu to be so young, truly a hero emerges in youth."
Gu Jin smiled slightly.
Yuanping Hou could not have been unaware that she had cured the Empress Dowager.
It's taboo for the Empress Dowager to fall ill, and everyone is pretending to be deaf and dumb, not daring to mention it.
Gu Jinzhi and Luoyang Wang were bestowed with a marital relationship, but they had not yet formally gone through the wedding rituals. It was also not suitable for outsiders to call her Princess Wang just yet.
So Yuan Ping Hou only mentioned her kindness to the princess, without mentioning her behavior in the capital.
"Your Excellency is overpraising me." Gu Jinzhi said, "The princess's illness was all thanks to Qin Taigong, I don't deserve it."
They exchanged a few pleasantries and then hastily took their leave of each other and entered the palace.
Chen Yu Chao rushed forward and smiled at Gu Jinzhi, falling behind a few steps, and explained to Gu Jinzhi: "That day..."
Gu Jin turned around and got on the horse carriage.
She didn't wait for Chen Yu to finish speaking.
Xia Lian returned the whip, and the carriage slowly passed by Chen Ye's side.
On the carriage. She thought that Chen You was certainly the only royal family of Annan's Chen Dynasty who escaped to Central Plains for help because of the usurpation by Chancellor Hu in history.
It had nothing to do with him, and soon faded from Gu Jin's heart.
She went home.
Song Pan'er and Gu Yanjun have returned, the courtyard is in a mess. They are all packing their things, indicating that tomorrow is a good day. Plan to move out tomorrow.
"Needn't be so anxious?" Gu Jin said with a smile.
Song Pan'er tapped her forehead: "You're lazy again and don't want to clean up? You think it's messy, go sit in your grandfather's study first. Your things, Zhu Ma and Yu He, Ai Ruo will clean up. You have no idea about that garden. It's simply..."
She described Gu Jinzhi for half a day, and later became somewhat speechless, only repeating over and over again that he was majestic to the extreme.
Gu Jin smiled.
If her mother wasn't pregnant, she would have given up on her.
Now, nature cannot be lazy. Then, supporting her mother, she entered the house with Peony and Nianlu, etc., to help pack up the boxes.
Mu Qing instead stepped back and stood aside.
She bit her lip, wanting to say something, but ultimately didn't open her mouth.
Song Pan'er really liked Mu Qing, thinking that she was just like Hai Tang who stayed in Yanling Fu, an excellent and capable person, two points better than Yu Ruo.
She wanted to take Mu Qing away, but didn't know how to bring it up with Madame.
After dinner, everything was settled, and Huan'ge and Xiu'ge were sent to bed. Gu Yanjin was waiting to read a book, while Song Huan'er said to Gu Jin, "I really miss Muqing. Although she served me for a short time, she did everything according to my wishes."
"Ask your aunt for it." Gu Jinzhi smiled and said, "You like it, can't your aunt give it to you?"
Song Pan'er shot her a glance: "What good thing are you going to? Maybe Mu Qing is also your aunt's heart's desire?"
"Besides, she's willing to give it to you." Gu Jing said with certainty, "You're pregnant."
Song Pan'er's heart was moved by Gu Jinzhi's words.
She called Mu Qing over and asked if she was willing to follow them to the new house: "...... I'll send someone to tell Madame that it's because I couldn't bear to part with you."
Mu Qing hurriedly knelt down: "I'm willing."
Song Pan'er's one sentence made Mu Qing extremely moved.
Song Pan'er smiled slightly.
The next day at dawn, Gu Yanwen and the steward first took their gold to the mansion on the other side of Yuanbao Hutong. Song Tan'er and Gu Jinzhi were in charge of the household affairs.
The madam also had breakfast and threw away her household chores to come over and help.
Song Pan'er took the opportunity to talk to her about Mu Qing's affairs.
The lady hesitated for a moment before hastily saying: "What's the big deal? Even if you like a maid, or even if you like this house, what's wrong with moving in?"
Very gladly agreed to let Mu Qing be given to Song Pan'er.
Song Pan'er's lips curled up into a joyful smile.
"She will go again later." As she was leaving, the madam detained Mu Qing, "She also served by my side for a while, I have something to reward her."
"Me too, I want to bid farewell to the sisters here..." Mu Qing said.
Song Pan'er smiled: "Then there's no hurry, I'll send someone to pick you up tomorrow."
He bowed his knees in gratitude.
