Chapter 644: Housework (three shifts)

Gu Jiu counted the days and went to the palace to ask for peace.
As soon as they met, Queen Pei asked Gu Jiu, "The palace heard that there was a lot of noise in your yard a few days ago, and the guards shut down the entire upper room. Is it possible that something was missing, or someone Offense?"
Gu Jiu pursed her lips and smiled, "The news about the queen is really good, and the little things in the palace cannot be hidden from the eyes and ears of the mother."
After finishing speaking, he glanced at several concubines with a smile.
Several concubines: This is the fact, and I can't blame others for secretly telling the palace.
Empress Pei looked serious, "My palace is asking you why you are making such a big noise, so don't talk about irrelevant things."
Gu Jiu gave a light cough, "In fact, there is nothing serious, but the child is naughty, turning boxes and cabinets, and the house is turned upside down. The purpose of driving people out is to prevent people from seeing their daughter-in-law teaching the children. As for asking the guards to block the yard, it is actually for Give the child a dignity so that no one can hear the child’s cry."
Queen Pei frowned, she didn't believe Gu Jiu's words.
"It's just that simple?"
Gu Jiu smiled, "Naturally it's that simple. Could it be that someone put a slander in the ear of my mother, saying that I was doing some shameful deeds behind my back?"
"Ahem... Don't guess, no one is slandering in my house. Don't listen to wind or rain."
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "..." The person who listens to the wind and rain is the deity of the mother, right? I have to ask questions without investigating the matter. Are you really afraid of being killed?
This lady has always been prudent in her work, when will she leave someone with a handle?
Gu Jiu glanced at a few wives and wives again, "Dear brothers and sisters, are you dissatisfied with me?"
"Sister-in-law can really laugh, we can only admire you, there is no dissatisfaction. Everyone expects you to make some pocket money to use." Ouyang Fu said first.
Gu Jiu opened his eyebrows and smiled, "You brothers and sisters are not dissatisfied with me, so I can rest assured. Empress, you see, this is obviously a misunderstanding. It is time to beat the person who spread the news."
Empress Pei said, "Okay, this palace just cares about you, and asked casually, it caused so many complaints. Isn't it possible that this palace won't be able to deal with you in the future?"
"The mother's queen misunderstood, the daughter-in-law just doesn't want to be wronged." Gu Jiu looked respectful.
"Huh! If you do things more securely, how can there be all kinds of rumors. Don't forget, Liu Zhao is still locked in Zongzheng Temple. As his wife, you should stay on your own during this time and don't always think about it. There is a big movement."
Gu Jiu nodded in response, "What the queen taught is that the daughter-in-law will not make any big movements in the future."
Then, she glanced at the three concubines.
Do you really think Mrs. Ben doesn't care about making small reports all day?
Three concubines: head down together, all silent.
Empress Pei looked at the three daughter-in-laws, very upset.
She said impatiently: "Okay, okay, let's get out of it if nothing happens. My palace is running out!"
"The mother and the queen have a good rest, and the daughters-in-law will leave."
Everyone filed out of Weiyang Palace.
Gu Jiu walked in the front, she turned her head abruptly, her eyes swept across everyone's face.
"Several brothers and sisters, they all seem to have a guilty conscience!" She seemed to smile.
"Sister-in-law can really laugh, we don't have any guilty conscience." The third wife, Cui Shi, smiled, and replied with carelessness.
Gu Jiu glanced at the belly of the third wife Cui Shi, "The third siblings are about to give birth."
The third wife, Cui Shi, nodded, "I will have a baby in one month."
"The third younger siblings are so convinced. Married to the third prince, she became pregnant soon. Among us, only the fourth younger siblings can compare with you."
The third wife Cui looked at Xiao Qin'er subconsciously.
She looked down upon Xiao Qin'er a little, and didn't want to be as blessed as Xiao Qin'er.
Xiao Qin'er was unhappy, "What is the look in Sansao's eyes that is not pleasing to my eyes?"
The third wife, Cui's complexion, said calmly: "The fourth younger siblings have misunderstood, how can I see you not pleasing to your eyes. There will be no contradictions in harmony between you and me."
Ah!
Xiao Qin'er directly let out a sarcastic laugh, embarrassing Cui Shi to the point.
Cui rubbed his eyebrows, and the biggest unaccustomed thing about marrying into the royal family was that several concubines spoke and acted too unpretentiously, and they all went straight.
Let's say it's unintentional, it's better than anyone when fighting for it. Speaking of being mindful, you never look at people's winks, and you don't seem to know what is hard to hear.
Girls from big families married into the royal family, and she didn't believe in the maids of all the wives and wives, they all taught this way.
So there is only one conclusion, the three concubines are all deliberate.
The unique atmosphere of the palace has allowed everyone to develop a domineering character.
The third wife, Cui Shi, took a peek at Gu Jiu, and she estimated that the source of this strange atmosphere was the old lady.
The lady is too strong.
Do not!
To be precise, it is too powerful.
It was so powerful that even the most important ministers in the court could not ignore it.
This is great.
There is such a strong role model, living under the same roof.
It is conceivable that the atmosphere in the palace will be aroused, and everyone is not afraid of encounters.
The master is domineering, and the subordinates are equally domineering.
Gu Jiu broke the embarrassing atmosphere, "Since all of you brothers and sisters treat me as a joke, then I'll just talk nonsense. Everyone lives their own lives, and don't take trivial things to the palace. If you are bored, Then find something to do by yourself. Or I can find something to do for you."
Xiao Qin'er asked aloud: "Then, according to my sister-in-law's words, can we take important matters to the palace and talk about it?"
Gu Jiu looked at her with a faint smile, "I don't know what kind of big things are in the hearts of the four younger siblings?"
Xiao Qin'er pursed her lips and smiled, "It depends on what the sister-in-law meant."
Gu Jiu smiled, "I mean, things that didn't involve your four rooms are not considered major issues. Are the four younger siblings satisfied?"
Xiao Qin'er was upset, "His Royal Highness is being Guan Zongzheng Temple, according to the sister-in-law, is it not a big deal?"
Gu Jiu said lazily: "It's a big deal to me, but it's not a big deal to you Sifang."
"My sister-in-law said that, my cousin should be sad. My cousin has been worried because his Royal Highness is being taken by Guan Zongzheng Temple." Xiao Qin'er fights for Liu Yi.
Gu Jiu snorted, "Thank you for your concern, but his concern is purely redundant. If you can say it all, you brothers and sisters can do it for themselves in the future."
After putting down these words, Gu Jiu took the lead to leave the palace.
The third wife, Cui Shi, patted her chest, "My sister-in-law is so temperamental that she doesn't even care about others. I don't know what to do to satisfy her."
Xiao Qin'er was dissatisfied, and angered directly at the third wife Cui, "Why do you want her to be satisfied? Is it because she is a sister-in-law? It's ridiculous!"
Ouyang Fu came forward to make the rounds, "Okay, okay, let's just say a few words. In the future, everyone should be careful when speaking and doing things, and don't provoke the sister-in-law. The majesty is in Guan Zongzheng Temple. She is now angry and considers her. "
Xiao Qin'er snorted, "I think my sister-in-law has a very chic life. I go out in two days, no one can tell that she is angry. Knowing that the second sister-in-law is good with the sister-in-law, I also hope that the sister-in-law's business dividends will earn some pocket money. You can't open your eyes and tell lies."
Ouyang Fu stomped, "Fine, that's all, everything I say is wrong, it is nothing to please. Let's talk, I'll go to see the mother concubine."
After speaking, she flung her sleeves and left.
Xiao Qin'er chuckled and turned to Cining Palace.
The third wife, Cui Shi, was left alone, and no one greeted her.
The third wife, Cui, stomped her feet, and then went out of the palace.
She walked in behind, as if she had become a bag.
Gu Jiu returned to the palace in the carriage.
As the weather heats up, she is a little irritable and does not like to move.
After washing, I changed to the house clothes, and I was lying in the soft collapse and flipping through the book.
Even the books that I love most are thrown aside.
Girl Xiaoyu fanned her.
This season, it hasn't been hot enough to put an ice basin, but it doesn't feel cool. It's a bit stuffy and irritating.
Green Bamboo boiled half a pot of mung bean porridge and served a bowl for Gu Jiu.
"It was specially placed in the well water, and it is just right now. Madam, would you like to taste it?"
Gu Jiu sat up, took a spoon and took a sip, "Well, it tastes just right. Green Bamboo, your cooking skills are getting better and better."
Qing Zhu pursed her lips and smiled, "These days, the lady has a lack of appetite, and the servants are too worried. The lady told the servants not to worry about outside affairs, so why is the lady worried?"
Gu Jiu smiled, "How can I be worried? You must be dazzled. I think the weather is hot and my heart is very irritable. Your Royal Highness is not at home, and there is not even a venting person."
The maids laughed.
"Madam regards Your Highness as an inflator, Your Highness should be sad."
"His Royal Highness will not be sad, I'm afraid I will be happy."
"Go, go, dare to make fun of Madam and Your Highness, one by one is fat!"
Qing Zhu sent all the little maids out to replace Xiao Yu and fan Gu Jiu.
"The slave servant went out to visit Qingmei yesterday."
When Gu Jiu heard it, his spirits came, "How is Qingmei now? I have only seen her once since she got married."
On the day Qingmei married, Gu Jiu rode a carriage back to the palace and was ambushed.
Some people say that the marriage of Qingmei is unlucky, and it is also unlucky to extend it to this person.
Qingmei was so worried, she was so worried that she was worried about her own bad luck and did not dare to visit the palace.
Later, Gu Jiu learned of the situation and asked Qingmei to speak in the palace.
Qingmei also came that time.
Said that he was afraid of bringing bad luck to Gu Jiu. If anything happens, let Qingzhu pass the word.
Gu Jiu didn't force her either, for fear of increasing Qingmei's psychological burden.
Planning to spend a year or two, this kind of argument gradually disappeared, and then let Qingmei enter the palace.
Qing Zhu said: "Sister Qingmei is very good. She has been pregnant for more than a month. Because the month is too short, she told the slave and maidservant to keep it secret, so keep quiet. The slave and maid would naturally not be able to keep her secret here."
Gu Jiu laughed and was very happy, "Qingmei is pregnant, this is a good thing. Zhao San is afraid to die with joy."
Qing Zhu pursed his lips and smiled, "I'm so happy."
Gu Jiu said: "I will open the warehouse later, pick up some medicinal materials and cloths that she can use, and send them to her. Tell her that she will have a good baby and don't worry about the palace. When she has a baby, I will visit her."
Qing Zhu nodded, "I listen to my wife. Sister Qingmei is worried about his wife, and the majesty is imprisoned in Zongzheng Temple. I don't know what happened."
"Tell her not to worry. I will solve this little matter. The most important thing for her now is to take care of her baby, don't think about it, worry about it all day long."
"The servant girl will try to persuade her."
Green Bamboo opened the warehouse and picked up medicinal materials and cloth.
Wang Yi yelled to go too.
"The slave servant hasn't seen Sister Qingmei for a long time, so I miss her."
Gu Jiu waved his hand, "Go all. I will give you a half-day holiday, go early and return early. Do not stay outside, pay attention to safety."
"Madam, don't worry, the slave and maid must be back before dark."
After dismissing the two maids, Gu Jiuwo slept on the soft collapse and had a weird dream.
When I woke up, I couldn't remember the scene in my dream.
"When is it?"
The maid, Xiao Yu, said softly: "Return to Madam, when I first arrived."
"Are Qingzhu and the others back?"
"Not yet. But Father Qian came back, seeing his wife resting, he left again."
"Has Qianfu come back? Send someone to see if he is still there? If he is still there, ask him to come and see this lady."
Gu Jiu hadn't seen Qian Fu for many days.
She knew that Liu Zhao must have sent Qianfu out.
She didn't ask about specific things, but in her heart, she couldn't help but feel a little worried.
And she was still thinking about what Qian Fu said last time, saying that she had found out Wang Jieyu's background.
Xiao Yu called a little maid to invite Father Qian.
Qian Fu was taking a break, and when he heard that Gu Jiu woke up, he rushed to the room.
"Old slave pays homage to Mrs."
"No ceremony, sit down and talk."
Qianfu was not polite, and sat down on the round stool.
Gu Jiu opened the door and asked straightforwardly: "It stands to reason that I shouldn't inquire about that. You just need to tell me it went well?"
Qianfu nodded, then shook his head, "Things are still under control."
Although there is no clear answer, it is good news in the control.
Gu Jiu was obviously relieved, "Well, I won't bother about this matter. Last time you said that Wang Jieyu's background was checked, did the news reach the capital? What's the situation?"
Qian Fu straightened his back, "I don't want to ask the lady, but the old slave also intends to talk about this. Speaking of which, Wang Jieyu and his wife can really have a relationship."
"Involved with this lady? Are you sure?" Gu Jiu looked surprised.
Qian Fu nodded, "How dare the old slave make jokes about this kind of thing. Wang Jieyu, originally a daughter of a local rich man, is not eligible to enter the palace draft.
But Wang's family has a relative in his own family. This family is an official family, and there is a girl in the family who is among the candidates. Wang Jieyu took the place of this girl and entered the palace to run for the election. Actually told her to have your majesty's blue eyes. "
Gu Jiu asked casually, "Does this have anything to do with my wife?"
Qian Fu said softly: "It is Wang Jieyu's elder brother who is involved. Wang Jieyu has a brother who is a female compatriot, who is called the fifth king. Wang Wu is idle, relying on his relatives to be a family of officials and officials, and he is a bit domineering in the local area. Usually the neighbors avoid him.
This king has loose hands, and his family is just an ordinary little rich man, who can't afford him such a big spend. In addition, Wang Jieyu entered the palace, and the family spent a large sum of money, and Wang Wu became more nervous. He became ill-tempered, and started the idea of ​​nearby toll booths and rest stops. "
It turns out that Qianfu's so-called connection can be a little bit related, does it mean toll stations and rest stations?
