Zhu Zhongjun was ill for seven or eight days.

  He has lost a lot of weight, and so has Gu Jingzhou?

  On March 1st, Gu Jinzhi went to the palace to take the pulse of Empress De. The empress dowager asked Gu Jinzhi: "Why are you so thin?"

  The Empress Dowager smiled and said: "I'm tall but I don't have a big appetite!"

  The empress dowager took a look and saw that it was indeed higher than before, and couldn't help but laugh.

  "When you were growing up, you should have eaten more..." The Empress Dowager said with a loving smile, "If there's anything you want to eat that we don't have at home, just let me know..."

  Gu Jin thought for a moment indeed.

  She really thought of a dish and smiled at the Empress Dowager: "Fresh Lotus Root Black Chicken Soup."

  The empress dowager smiled again.

  At this time, fresh lotus root is not hard to come by, and black chicken is also cheap.

  Thought for half a day, just thought of this ordinary one.

  "Go to the imperial kitchen and say a word, then turn back and have it delivered to the Gu's residence." The empress said to Ji Gui beside her.

  He said goodbye and left immediately.

  The Empress Dowager then asked how Consort De's body was doing.

  "It's all right this time." Gu Jinzhi said.

  Last time when Empress Dowager entered the palace, I don't know what she said to Consort De, but now she can eat normally again.

  She loves spicy food, and everyone in the palace knows about it.

  Some people were naturally delighted about this.

  Some people firmly believed that De Fei would give birth to a princess in the future and relaxed their vigilance against her.

  The empress dowager also breathed a sigh of relief.

  The emperor also rewarded some things.

  Gu Jin's visit to the palace this time also improved De Fei's attitude a lot.

  Her mother-in-law served her and felt more at ease.

  The Empress Dowager asked De Fei and then asked Zhu Zhongjun: "How is the King recently?"

  Gu Jinzhi immediately told the Empress Dowager about Zhu Zhongjun's acute intestinal abscess. She explained: "I was confident that I could cure the king, but I was afraid that you and His Majesty would worry, so I didn't say anything in the palace. Now he has recovered."

  The Empress Dowager's face suddenly changed color.

  She also knew why Gu Jin had lost weight.

  The more anxious you are in your heart, the slower you should speak; otherwise, the more mistakes you will make. This is a habit that the empress dowager has cultivated over decades.

  Even if it was Dui Mian Gu Jinzhi, she calmed down for a moment.

  After the emotions in her heart had passed, the Empress's worries also lightened a bit.

  "Tell me carefully... " she said to Gu Jinzhi, "Is it really all right?"

  "I've lost some weight." Gu Jingzhi said. "I haven't been able to eat for four or five days, and I've become a bit thinner. The illness is gone, and there's no major problem now."

  Gu Jin himself also followed suit and reduced his weight.

  It can be seen that she is also very worried.

  The empress dowager let out a soft sigh.

  "Bring him with you tomorrow, I want to see for myself." The Empress Dowager said finally.

  She also did not blame Gu Jin for hiding and not reporting until now.

  The way of Gu Zhen is righteousness.

  The next day, she took Zhu Zhongjun into the palace.

  Zhu Zhongjun has indeed lost a lot of weight.

  The empress dowager held his hand, her eyes moistening as she asked him: "Was it painful at the time?"

  Zhu Zhongjun blinked the corner of his eye. He pouted and said, "It hurts. Xia Qi hugs me, it doesn't hurt anymore. Xia Qi has been with me all along. She didn't sleep either..."

  The Empress Dowager knew that Gu Jin's clothes were not untied and took care of Zhu Zhongjun for four or five days.

  Gu Jinzhi has obviously lost more weight, which shows that Zhu Zhongjun did not lie.

  She gently wiped the corner of her eye, smiled and said to Gu Jinzhi: "Good child. You take care of Wang Ye, I am most at ease! Just don't hide things from me in the future. I'm not someone who can't handle things. If you tell me, I'll have a number in my heart and be more at peace."

  Gu Jin hastily said: "Next time I dare not deceive the Empress Dowager again."

  The empress smiled when she heard the two words "deceive" and asked her to come closer, holding her hand and saying a few comforting words: "I don't blame Xiaoxi for deceiving me. You thought of me in your heart and deliberately didn't say it. I understand your kindness."

  Gu Jin smiled and lowered his head.

  The empress saw that she was wearing a double bun, with only two simple rubies on her head, so she smiled and let the palace staff bring over her own jewelry box, personally selecting two gold-inlaid jade flowers to bestow upon Gu Jinzhi.

  He even personally helped her put it on.

  Gu Jinzhi hastily got up and thanked him.

  On his way back, Zhu Zhongjun leaned against the wall of the car and dozed off.

  "Does it look good?"

  Zhu Zhongjun slightly raised his eyes, glanced at him casually, and then nodded and said, "Uh-huh."

  Although he was no longer angry in his mouth, his expression was still dull. When he was with Gu Jinzhi, he didn't say much.

  The silent and taciturn appearance is just like before.

  Gu Jingzhou said he "does not recognize his six relatives", probably hurting his heart deeply.

  He never seemed to have thought that Gu Jinzhi would evaluate his life like that.

  In her past life, Gu Jing had complained about him being cold and unfeeling, but she had never said it to his face.

  It was the first time he knew...

  His silence was not just sorrow, but also carried a few reflections.

  He even subconsciously acknowledged Gu Jinzhi's point of view: thinking carefully, he seemed to have walked to the end, with only himself left.

  His father was defeated by him, his mother died; his son did not want to care for him, and his daughter went to the mountainous area to teach, also being chilled by his words? His wife... apart from a marriage certificate, their marriage of twenty years was in name only.

  Since Director Chen's incident, Gu Jin scolded him for selling his wife for fame, they never slept in the same bed again...

  Although he was unwilling to admit it, his previous life could be described as "six relatives not recognizing him", which was a bit harsh but also apt.

  With this realization, Zhu Zhongjun suddenly had a new understanding of his past life.

  This new realization made his heart ache with difficulty.

  ——*——*——

  Back home, Gu Jinzi first went to her mother's place and told her about entering the palace.

  Song Pan'er saw that the Empress Dowager did not blame her, but instead rewarded Gu Jin with two pearl flowers, and she was also delighted.

  It can be seen that the empress dowager is not a person who uses her power to bully others, but rather someone who understands and sympathizes with others.

  Having such a mother-in-law is quite good.

  Song Pan'er smiled and said to her: "The Empress Dowager's reward, be careful with it, don't let them mess around, or they'll lose it somewhere..."

  The way of Gu Zhen is righteousness.

  She took Zhu Zhongjun back to her room.

  Zhu Zhongjun reclined on a large pillow, reading a book.

  Gu Jin also changed into men's clothing and prepared to go to the shop.

  Wish mom a happy hair combing day.

  All her hair stood on end and was secured with a white jade pin, dressed as a young boy.

  Combed her mother's hair and helped her pass the crane cape.

  "...I vaguely heard Haitang say yesterday. Is the mistress going to buy a new maid again?" Zhu's mother suddenly asked in a low voice, Gu Jinzhi.

  Gu Jinzhi knew about this matter.

  The maids in our house were added after last year's Dragon Boat Festival.

  Song Pan'er always says it's not enough.

  The house gradually took shape, and the number of servants increased. The little maids who could serve properly were all assigned to various places.

  The maid at home sweeping the floor, watching tea and feeding sparrows was still a bit short.

  "Yes, I also heard Mother mention it yesterday." Gu Jinzhi said. "Why did Mom ask this?"

  Wishing her mother's relatives were all in Jiangnan, she definitely wasn't someone who would be stuffed in, so Gu Jingzhou didn't understand why she suddenly asked this...

  "If we're going to add a little sister at home, what about the older ones?" Mother Zhu's voice was even softer, "Like Mu Qing and Hai Tang, aren't they almost twenty already? Are you still not letting them go?"

  The marriage of Hai Tang, Gu Jinzhi knew.

  The outer courtyard had a small servant, Song Pan'er had hinted to him early on that he would be paired with Hai Tang in the future. So all these years, Song Pan'er has been promoting that small servant.

  Song Pan'er had several capable people around her who understood each other's minds. Hai Tang herself also knew.

  Last year went to Beijing. That little official also came.

  Song Pan'er will only pair up with Hai Tang after everything around her is settled.

  Nian Lu is very gentle and considerate. In the future, it's estimated that she will be given to Gu Jin as a dowry; Peony and Ao Fu are slightly younger and haven't been considered yet.

  As for Mu Qing, she was a newcomer and Song Pan'er hadn't figured out how to pair her up yet.

  "What's Mother got to say?" Gu Jinzhi smiled and said, "There's no one in our courtyard who is almost twenty years old, why are you worrying about the lady on their behalf?"

  Happy Mother's Day.

  "What's on your mind? Tell me." Gu Jin asked with a smile.

  Wish mom would give Zile a signal and let them all go out.

  The only ones left in the house were Zhu Ma and Gu Jinzhi. After helping Gu Jinzhi put on his boots, Zhu Ma whispered: "I've set my sights on someone. His age is just right for Wei Ruo. However, none of the people brought over by the family have mentioned marriage, so I didn't dare bring it up casually, and I'm also afraid that Madame has already arranged a match with someone else. That's why I asked Hai Tang and Mu Qing. If Madame has matched Hai Tang, I'll take the opportunity to ask and see what she means."

  Have you found someone?

  Gu Jin thought of the steward or young servant at home.

  Those who usually run in the inner courtyard, Si Lian is the most diligent.

  He is clever and capable, and also a filial son...

  "Is it Si Lian?" Gu Jinzhi asked.

  "Mother was shocked: 'Girl... how did you know?'"

  She never mentioned it to anyone else.

  Gu Jinzhi smiled: "You said you've found the one, didn't you? You don't like to go out and about, so the person you've found is naturally someone who often comes to my place, that's why you noticed. Besides Si Lian, who else could it be?"

  Mother suddenly enlightened, smiled and said Gu Jin's mind is meticulous.

  Xie Yan is quite good, Gu Jin also likes him.

  In the future, he will definitely be given to Gu Jinzhi as a concubine.

  It's also lush and luxuriant.

  This match is quite good.

  "I'll ask for you," said Gu Jinzhi with a smile, "I think it's great too."

  Mother smiled and said: "Do you think it's good too, miss?"

  "Hmm." Gu Jinzhi smiled and said, "Although Si Lian's appearance doesn't match up to Wei Ruo, he is clever and intelligent, and can get things done."

  Mother smiled and said: "Let's keep it in mind for now, we'll ask when there's a good opportunity."

  Like Si Lian and Wei Rou, these few years will also not let go.

  Wish mom isn't thinking of marrying now either.

  She simply took a moment to express her thoughts to her husband, and he made arrangements early on.

  Don't make mistakes with Mandarin ducks.

  Isn't it just like Haitang's case, wasn't it also looked good four or five years ago?

  Although Wei Ru is not as good as Hai Tang, she is also Gu Jinzhi's milk sister and has a higher status than other maids.

  Gu Jin smiled and came out of the inner room. Seeing Zhu Zhongjun reading a book in the eastern study, he asked him: "I'm going to the pharmacy, are you coming or not?"

  Zhu Zhongjun shook his head and continued reading.

  Gu Jin left as soon as he went out the door.

  She went to her mother's place first, said hello and asked about buying a little maid for the family.

  "It's rare for you to care about this," Song Dang'er said with a smile.
