Chapter 653: Worry (three shifts)

With the approval of Emperor Wen De, under the auspices of Gu Jiu, the Gu family quickly made a marriage appointment with the Luhou Mansion and was hired.
Even though Mrs. Luhou was dissatisfied with this marriage, especially dissatisfied with the family of Xie, she could only hold her nose and endure it.
Fortunately, Xie is not Gu Ling's biological mother, but a stepmother.
Otherwise Mrs. Luhou would have to vomit to death.
She whispered to the maid privately, "I don't know what Master Gu thought back then that he would straighten a concubine."
The maid pursed her lips and said with a smile: "The slave and maid listened to the old man in Gu's house saying that when Xie was young, he was outstanding in appearance and good at serving people. Mr. Gu was very satisfied.
When the original partner passed away, Xie's eldest brother was valued by Donggong, and Master Gu was impatient to correct Xie's.
Everyone in the Gu family opposed Master Gu's decision to strengthen the Xie family, but still failed to stop the determined Master Gu. "
Mrs. Luhou joked casually, "You can inquire clearly."
The maidservant smiled and said: "The slave and maid should share the worries for the wife. Taking advantage of the last meeting between the two families, the slave and maid deliberately befriended some of the maids in the Gu Mansion, and also agreed to go out shopping together in a few days. Please allow her permission!"
Madam Luhou hummed and nodded, "Go ahead. Inquire more about Gu's situation. I'm really worried about Man'er marrying into such a family. It's a pity that Gu Ling can't separate and live alone."
The maid gave an idea, "After the little general Gu married the girl, he will definitely return to the Northwest. Can the girl also go to the Northwest?"
Mrs. Luhou shook her head slightly, "The generals who have always been stationed at the border cannot bring their families. This is the court law."
The maid lowered her voice and said, "Can I ask Mrs. Zhao for help? Because our Hou Mansion had married with the Gu family before, your Majesty was so angry that he went to Weiyang Palace and beat the empress.
Later this matter was settled by Mrs. Zhao, which shows that Mrs. Zhao's influence in front of His Majesty is extraordinary. If Madam Zhao came forward, maybe the girl could really follow General Gu to join the army in the northwest. "
Mrs. Luhou still shook her head, "This will break the rules. It will be used as a handle to attack Master Hou, so you can't do this."
The maid sighed, "I can only wronged the girl to live in Gu's house after marriage, and do her filial piety in front of her in-laws."
The thought of her daughters going to do their filial piety in front of Master Gu and Xie, Mrs. Luhou vomited.
Her darling girl, she doesn't have to put people like Xie in her eyes. After marriage, he has to show his filial piety in front of the Xie family.
Thinking of the scenes of her mother-in-law treating her daughter-in-law harshly, Mrs. Lu Hou could not wait to rush to Gu's house and swear shamelessly at Xie's nose.
She rubbed her eyebrows, "After Man'er returns to Beijing, we will discuss the matter again. But Madam Ben should visit Madam Zhao. Take my famous post and hand it to the palace."
"Slaves obey orders!"
...
When Gu Jiu received Mrs. Luhou's greeting, he knew it clearly.
She was there the last time the two met.
Although Madam Luhou was very good at covering up, Gu Jiu could still tell that Madam Luhou was not satisfied with the marriage. The most dissatisfied was Xie's, followed by Mr. Gu.
Only because of Luhou's decision, Luhoufu did not object to the marriage and agreed to the marriage.
Gu Jiu said to the servants of Luhou Mansion: "Please report to Mrs. Hou, three days later, I will welcome you by sweeping the couch!"
...
Three days later, Mrs. Luhou came to the palace with the maid.
Gu Jiu personally greeted him at the second door.
"Mrs. Met!"
"Mrs. Zhao is too polite, don't be polite."
Gu Jiu said with a smile, "I only talk about relatives today, regardless of status, okay?"
Mrs. Luhou nodded again and again, "A family, that's what it should be. This lady has not come to the palace less often, but since the mother entered the palace, this lady has come less often."
"Aunt here, please! The palace is a bit deserted compared to before. I hope my aunt will not dislike it."
"How can this lady dislike it."
The two talked and laughed and entered the eastern courtyard.
Bong tea, greetings.
Between the two, the atmosphere is very harmonious.
Mrs. Luhou took Gu Jiu's hand and said with great joy: "Before you did not have much contact, I always thought you were arrogant and clean. But I don't know that this lady misunderstood you. This lady has never seen you like you. A wise and sensible junior."
Gu Jiu pursed her lips and smiled, "I'm satisfied if my aunt doesn't think I am vulgar."
"Who would think you are vulgar. It must be that the person's eyes are wrong."
Gu Jiu said with a smile: "My family's family background is not obvious. In recent years, many people have said that the juniors came from small households, and it is understandable that the rules are not good."
"It's all nonsense. The fact that your family background is not obvious does not mean that the rules are not good. The person who said this is obviously jealous of you."
"Thank you for your understanding."
Gu Jiu solemnly thanked him.
Mrs. Luhou quickly grabbed Gu Jiu. Immediately after regaining consciousness, she found that she had jumped into the pit that Gu Jiu had dug.
Isn't she coming here today because she dislikes Gu's family?
Now that the words are out of the mouth, what should I say next?
Mrs. Luhou is sad!
It is said that Madam Zhao is a shrewd and powerful master, as expected.
People had long anticipated her purpose for this trip, and had already buried a hole in her words.
Suddenly, Mrs. Luhou was a little unhappy.
This is too calculating.
Gu Jiu smiled sharply and filled Mrs. Luhou's teacup with water.
"Madam doesn't know anything, and I am extremely happy to learn that my brother is about to marry a wife. I have seen girl Man'er a few times, and she is a wonderful girl. It is his blessing that my brother can marry her, and it is also his high level."
When Mrs. Luhou heard that Gu Jiu took the initiative to admit that Gu Yu was climbing high, she felt a little more angry.
She coughed slightly, "My wife will never object to the marriage made by Lord Hou, and will only be picky at most."
"Thank you for your tolerance, Madam. If you want to marry a baby girl, you should be picky about being a parent," Gu Jiu said with understanding.
Mrs. Luhou nodded secretly, Gu Jiu was still reasonable. You can forget the blame for the previous digging.
Gu Jiu continued: "My brother Gu Yu has only three months of wedding leave. Once the holiday is over, he will return to the northwest."
Mrs. Luhou suddenly frowned, "It's a pain for my family to keep the vacant house alone. If it is possible to conceive smoothly, it is okay, if not to become pregnant, how can we survive this day?"
After speaking, Mrs. Luhou wiped her tears.
She is so sad.
As a mother, daughter-in-law, and mother-in-law, her multiple identities make her very clear that a woman has left her husband without children by her side, and the life is difficult.
The thought of her own daughter's suffering made her feel uncomfortable.
Gu Jiu took out a handkerchief and wiped Mrs. Luhou's cheeks, "Madam, don't cry. My eldest sister has suffered this kind of suffering. Although I can't empathize with it, I can understand the difficulty."
"Just know where is enough! Have mercy on my Man'er. Lord Hou is really cruel. He knows how much hardship he will have to endure as the wife of a general who is stationed at the border, so he will be married to your brother Gu Ling. If Gu Ling can return to Beijing This lady will not complain. However, he is destined to return to the Northwest Border. I don’t know how many years will it take to return."
"Madam, don't cry in a hurry, there is always a solution to anything."
Mrs. Luhou shook her head repeatedly, "The border generals are not allowed to bring family members. This is the court law. For the sake of Lord Hou, we can't break the rules."
Gu Jiu nodded, "I know, I didn't intend to break the rules."
Mrs. Luhou was stunned, her face puzzled.
Gu Jiu smiled softly and said: "I have some industries in the Northwest. Over the years, I have been lacking a person who can take charge. If the Man'er does not give up, I would like to ask her to help take care of the industries in the Northwest."
Mrs. Luhou was overjoyed, "Do you really have an industry in the northwest?"
Gu Jiu nodded, "There is a small industry located in the northwest, and Master Hou knows it. It's just that the northwest is bitterly cold, and many people can't stand the weather and food there."
"It's okay, it's okay! Man'er is here now... Hahaha, I mean Man'er has always been looking forward to the northwest, and has always said that he will go to the place where his father and brother are errands. Is it just possible to do this? Will there be in the palace? opinion?"
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "It's okay! Just take it as a tour of the industry for me, and a trip to Beijing in a year or two can be considered an explanation to the palace."
"If this is true, after Man'er and General Gu are married, they can stay together for a long time without having to endure the pain of long-term separation."
Gu Jiu reminded in a low voice, "Man's went to the northwest and can only live in Jinzhou City."
Madam Luhou laughed, "My Madam understands. The military camp is heavy, so naturally there is no female family accompanying her."
But Lu Hou, as Pei Man's father, only needs him to speak, Gu Ling can often go out of the barracks to meet Pei Man. You can even build a house outside the barracks.
In short, the emperor is far from the sky in the northwest, how to operate it depends entirely on Luhou's words.
The premise is that Pei Man can leave the capital openly.
As long as I leave the capital, all problems are no longer a problem.
Mrs. Luhou never expected that she would be surprised if she came to the palace today.
The problem of Pei Man staying in the capital alone was immediately solved by Gu Jiu.
She said: "As long as the palace does not ask about this matter, this lady will solve the follow-up questions. All in all, this lady wants to thank you, but you have helped a lot."
Gu Jiu hurriedly said: "Your aunt is polite. Thinking for Man'er is for my brother. We all hope that both of them will be well."
Madam Luhou left contentedly.
After Pei Man and Gu Ling returned to Beijing and solicited their opinions, the matter could be handled.
