"died?"
Gu Jiu was obviously taken aback.
Deng Cunli bowed and said, "It's confirmed that he is dead. On the first day of imprisonment, the former Shaofu Tong Cheng Wen Guangren tried to swallow poison and committed suicide. He was found in time and saved. I didn't expect that he died in the end."
Gu Jiu frowned, "How did you die?"
"It is said that he died from his injuries."
Gu Jiu sneered.
"He died from his injuries, who believes?"
Deng Cunli said: "The prince does not believe that Wen Guangren died from his injuries. This is going to be very irritating. Several of the laid-off people disturbed the prince because of the noise, and the prince ordered the prince to hit the board."
Gu Jiu said softly: "The prince's temper is really big enough, why bother to take people out. What can Wen Guangren explain before his death?"
Deng Cunli shook his head, "I didn't explain anything. I kept saying that I was wronged."
Gu Jiu frowned, "Could it be that Wang Zhao moved his hand?"
Deng Cunli has nothing to do with the imprisonment, so I can't find out the specific situation.
He said: "The prince's planning is in vain. Zhao Wang just lost a Wen Guangren, but he will always be wary of the prince from now on."
Gu Jiu suddenly asked: "The prince worked so hard to overthrow Wen Guangren with the opportunity of the Ministry of Household to clean up his debts. Is it really to target King Zhao?"
Obviously, the most important thing now is to pull the Prince Donggong down.
At this time, King Ning needs to cooperate sincerely with King Zhao to pull the prince down together. After that, the two brothers will fight again and decide a victory or defeat.
Why was the prince still sitting steadily in his position, so that King Ning could not bear to tear his face with King Zhao?
unreasonable!
King Yining’s resourcefulness would not do this kind of thing that would steal the chicken and lose the rice.
Unless Wen Guangren is behind Wang Zhao, there are others. For example, the Prince of the East Palace.
Thinking of this, Gu Jiu took a deep breath.
Is it true that King Ning’s goal is to point his sword at the East Palace?
Unfortunately, Wen Guangren is dead.
No wonder King Ning was so angry that he took people to vent their anger.
After finally catching a big fish, it was killed by someone, who would be willing?
Gu Jiu said: "Order to go down, don't run out if there is nothing to do these days. If you hit the prince's hand, the will not be able to save."
"Old slave obeyed."
After a pause, he asked, "When does Madam plan to tidy up the kitchen?"
Gu Jiu looked at Deng Cunli, "What's the matter? Could someone ask you to intercede?"
Deng Cunli laughed, "It's not just the old slaves, but Mother Fang, Qingmei and others are all looking for them. They are all interceding with each other."
Gu Jiu laughed, "I'm useful to register all the people who intercede with others."
"Yes!"
After that, Gu Jiu summoned Mother Fang, Xiao Cui, and Qing Zhu to the front.
"Next, I will start to reorganize the kitchen and abolish the kitchen staff. Starting today, you will go to the kitchen to stare at me every day. Regardless of the size of the incident, write it down and I will look at it one by one. If I encounter something that I don’t understand, You go find rich and rich."
"Slaves obey orders."
"Do you want to move the kitchen?" Mother Fang asked.
Gu Jiu nodded, "Everything must be moved. Since the princess and concubine handed over the kitchen to me, I would naturally do my best."
Madam Fang hesitated for a moment, "Mrs. Qi, the person responsible for purchasing the kitchen was arranged by the princess and empress. If the purchase is really going to happen, the princess and empress will probably not agree."
Gu Jiu smiled, "I know about this. On the side of the princess, you don't have to worry about it, just follow my instructions."
She would like to take this opportunity to test the bottom line of Princess Pei.
Mother Fang and the others led the way.
Gu Jiu was thinking about the Shanghai Festival a few days later.
The palace will be frugal this year and show it to the palace. You can't travel the whole government with fanfare like in previous years.
However, Gu Jiu wanted to take advantage of the good spring to go out and walk around.
She called Qingmei to the front, "Go back to Gu Mansion for me and ask Gu Yu and Brother Gu to find a way to give me the next post. On the Shangsi Festival, we will go out for spring and watch young unmarried men and women go to the spring bath."
When Qingmei heard it, she became excited.
The Shangsi Festival in Beijing is rumored to be extremely lively.
Unfortunately, last year's Shanghai Festival was missed. I thought that this year's Shangsi Festival would also be missed, but I didn't expect my wife to have planned it a long time ago.
She said with an open eyebrow, "The slave maid will go back to Gu Mansion."
...
East Palace, shabby room.
Crown Prince Sun was sitting in front of Fang Shaojian.
Her expression was extremely cold, "Wen Guangren is dead."
Shaojian Fang looked calm, "Isn't the empress willing to die?"
The crown prince Sun snorted, "He died too late. At the beginning, you kept saying that she would definitely die on the day of imprisonment. But it took so many days. Maybe someone has touched him to the East Palace."
Shaojian Fang smiled, "The empress is worried about the sky. Wen Guangren has been unconscious these days, what can he explain?"
"Then why did Your Majesty suddenly cancel the Shanghai Spring Festival Outing?"
Fang Shaojian smiled, "Naturally because there is no money."
Crown Prince Sun stared at Shaojian Fang with gloomy eyes, "Don't forget your plan. Your Majesty canceled the Spring Festival outing on the Shanghai Festival, so we have to wait until then? There is not much time left for the East Palace."
Shao Jian Fang said calmly: "Your Majesty stays safe and restless. Your Majesty canceled the Shanghai Spring Festival Outing. I estimate that until May, when the weather gets hot, your Majesty will definitely go to the palace to escape the summer heat. Your Majesty and your Majesty will accompany you and have the opportunity to do it yourself."
Crown Prince Sun chuckled, "I hope you will do what you say, and don't let this palace down. If you don't, this palace won't end well, but this palace will definitely break your corpse before you die."
Shaojian Fang nodded slightly, "Our family received the threat from the mother. Even if it is not for the mother, our family will fight for this life for the sake of the majesty. It will not let your majesty have the opportunity to make an order to abolish the majesty."
"You better do what you say."
The prince Sun stood up, flung her sleeves and left.
Fang was left alone in the shabby room.
He chuckled, the louder he laughed, the crazier he laughed.
...
The Gu Mansion posted a post to Gu Jiu, inviting Gu Jiu to go out for a spring trip on the day of Shanghai Festival.
While asking for peace, Gu Jiu told Princess Pei that she was going out on the previous festival.
Pei frowned, "The house is so busy that you have to go out?"
Gu Jiu said: "Originally, I should go back to my natal house on the second day of the first lunar month, but I couldn't go back because of an accident. This time, when my natal post left a post, the sisters would go out for a day.
The daughter-in-law thought of going to join in the fun too, getting close to her mother's family.
As for the kitchen, the mother and concubine can rest assured that the daughter-in-law already has a look. After the Shangsi Festival, the rectification regulations will be handed in, and the mother and concubine will have a look. "
Pei asked, "According to you, the girl from the Hou Mansion will also go out?"
Gu Jiu nodded, "Exactly."
Pei said: "Since you are going back, I will meet the old lady of the Hou Mansion and give my greetings to the princess."
Gu Jiu readily agreed, "My daughter-in-law obeys."
It's still the face of the old lady.
Xiao Qin'er's eyes were hot, and she also wanted to leave the house.
How could she not expect her mother's family to make a post beforehand.
In these two months, one thing after another, she felt very depressed. The spring is great, if you don't go out, wouldn't it be a disappointment?
She tried to ask: "Mother concubine, daughter-in-law also wants to go out on the Shanghai Festival."
Pei throws a look at her, "Don't just play around all day, have you finished your errands? On the Shanghai Festival, unmarried men and women have a spring bath, what do you do?"
Xiao Qin'er was anguished, and felt bored and uncomfortable.
When she returned to the room, she complained to Liu Yi.
"On the day of the Shanghai Festival, my sister-in-law can go out to play, why can't I. Speaking of being unmarried, is the sister-in-law also unmarried? The mother and concubine are too partial."
Liu Yi laughed, "It's appropriate for my wife to say that it's partial, but it's inappropriate for you. Think about it for yourself, since you walked in, has the mother and concubine always looked after you?"
Xiao Qin'er sternly asked, "Since I took care of me, why didn't you let me go out during the Shangsi Festival? Why don't you go and talk to your mother and concubine that we will go to the Weishui River to play in the water on the day of the Shangsi Festival."
When Liu Yi heard it, he was also moved.
It’s beautiful that unmarried young men and women get along.
He said: "I tried to talk to my mother and concubine, and strive to go out and play together on the Shanghai Festival."
Xiao Qin'er immediately became happy.
"Then you go quickly. There are two days to go before the Shanghai Festival, so we can settle this matter as early as possible."
Liu Yi was urged to go out and came to Chunhetang to ask Pei for instructions.
Pei stared at Liu Yi with hatred of iron and steel.
"Being bewildered by Xiao Qin'er doing this and that all day, you have no idea?"
Liu Yi laughed, "Don't hide from his mother and concubine, my son also wants to go out to play."
"No money!" Pei's categorically rejected Liu Yi.
Liu Yixian said: "We pay for ourselves, and we don't have to pay for it."
Pei looked at him with a faint smile, "This wouldn't be poor."
Liu Yi smiled awkwardly.
Pei said: "Since you pay for yourself, then go."
Liu Yi went contentedly.
Pei thought for a while, and called the maid lychee, "Order to go down, whoever wants to go out during the Shanghai Festival, he will pay for himself, and the public school is not responsible for a penny."
Lychee asked, "Do you have to bear all kinds of expenses for food, carriage, and all kinds of expenses?"
Pei nodded, "Exactly!"
Litchi took the lead and went to various courtyards to spread the word.
Ouyang Fu heard that as long as he paid for it, he could leave the house. How could he not agree?
She has a dowry. After marrying into the palace, he also saved a lot of money.
She can afford to go out and play.
Xiao Qin'er was not happy.
She complained to Liu Yi, "How much money can be spent on a trip. Qian Mu and Concubine are not willing to pay this point. I don't believe that the palace is really poor for this."
Liu Yi was impatient, "You say a few words less."
Xiao Qin'er leaned close to him, leaning on him, "I'm not thinking about our little family. Now that you have an errand, you have to have extra expenses every month, won't this be cut for you too?"
Liu Yi shook his head, "Don't worry. Fuzhong will give me the full amount of the errands."
Xiao Qin'er pursed her lips and smiled, "It's almost the same. It has reduced the cost of our yard by 30%. In the future, you still want to eat chicken tongue, that's not good."
Liu Yi likes to eat chicken, but he only eats chicken tongue.
Every time you eat a serving of steamed chicken tongue, you have to kill hundreds of chickens.
In the past, the palace opened up the supply, anyway, Zhuangzi raised enough chickens.
Now that the cost is cut, Liu Yi still wants to eat delicious chicken tongue, so he has to pay for his own pocket and ask the kitchen to make reservations in advance.
In Xiao Qin'er's eyes, what's so delicious about that chicken tongue.
It's laborious and expensive, and it tastes like that.
After eating it once, she no longer likes it.
Liu Yi never tire of eating.
Liu Yi hugged Xiao Qin'er, "Next time I want to eat, I will take the money out."
"How much money do you have? Could it be that you saved private money without telling me?" Xiao Qin'er pinched Liu Yi's arm.
The spring clothes are thin, and Liu Yi frowned at this pinch, "You always love to pinch people. This habit has to be changed."
Xiao Qin'er smiled beautifully, "Does it hurt you?"
"nonsense!"
"I will rub it for you."
Xiao Qin'er was really gentle and considerate.
Liu Yi hugged her and pressed it down.
...
Shangsi Festival.
Weishui River.
On this day, unmarried men and women came to the river to play and bathe together.
Of course, it is not the imagined men and women bathing together.
The young unmarried man took off his shirt and scrubbed his shirtless, revealing his tendons.
The older girls are not far away, washing their faces and stepping on water. If you are more courageous, just put down your hair and wash it in the water.
The big girls gathered together, pointing at the shirtless young man not far away, laughing and talking.
The young men also secretly looked at the big girl not far away, who was beautiful and who was ugly at a glance.
If anyone sees it right and makes a look, he will go to a small wood not far away and find a quiet place to communicate in private.
On this day, such behavior is supported, and no one will stop it.
The Shangsi Festival is also the only day of the year when there is no need to pay attention to men and women.
Young men and women, let out their youthful enthusiasm.
If you see the right eye, tell both parents, the man chooses auspicious day to come to propose marriage.
Of course, the prerequisite is to be right.
When Gu Jiu came to the Weishui River and saw the passionate men and women, he sighed with emotion, "This is clearly the ancient version of the large-scale open-air blind date scene."
In ancient times, men and women were worried about getting married.
There are many unmarried men and women, but not every one is suitable for you.
It also needs to be right, it needs to be a lover and concubine, and it needs to be a man and a woman. Where can I get accurate if I don’t go on a blind date?
Gu Jiu sighed again, "The atmosphere in the capital is even more open than the northwest."
In the Northwest Festival, there are no such famous halls.
When he came to the capital, Gu Jiu heard people say what was going on during the Shanghai Festival.
Originally last year's Shanghai Festival, Gu Jiu had already planned to go out to see and see.
As a result, she was accused of marrying Liu Zhao, who was not an unmarried man and woman, and she was afraid of accidents and refused to let her out.
Anyhow, this year, she finally saw the ancient carnival day of single men and women with the reason of going out.
Royal family members, high-ranking officials and nobles, occupy the best section of the upper reaches.
People of other identities can only play in the river dozens of miles away.
In this way, it effectively isolates people who do not match their family background from appearing in the same river section.
"Second sister, we are here."
Gu Shan excitedly waved at Gu Jiu.
Gu Jiu laughed. It's been a long time since I saw everyone so happy.
She carried the skirt and ran over regardless of the rules or irregularities.
Not far away, Xiao Qin'er saw this scene very contemptuously, "It's because of her that she talks about the rules every day, and she is the most unruly person."
Ouyang Fu smiled secretly, "My family is here. Four younger siblings, play by yourself, I will leave first."
Xiao Qin'er looked around for the Xiao family, and she didn't laugh until she saw her mother's family.
Gu Shan, Gu Lin, and Gu Jun play in the water with the sisters in the Hou Mansion.
Everyone giggled, pointing to the shirtless young man in the distance, "Those men have whiter skin than women. Are they still men?"
"Those are all scholars. They don't have the power to bind chickens, they can only care about them."
"My brothers look better."
The men from the Gu Mansion and the Hou Mansion were all dispatched. I am about to find my marriage in the Shangsi Festival.
Gu Jiu found Gu Yu among those men.
Gu Ling has been training in the military camp for more than a year.
The whole body's tendons are very punchy.
Even Gu Teng, a scholar, has muscles.
She also saw Su Zhengsu's cousin.
Cousin Su was standing on the shore without getting into the water.
He seemed to sense Gu Jiu's gaze, and when he turned his head, the two eyes met.
Su Zheng hesitated and walked over.
"Come, here, someone is coming."
The big girl was too excited.
"Don't talk nonsense, that is Young Master Su." Qingmei hurriedly introduced.
When I heard it was Young Master Su, everyone suddenly lost interest.
Gu Jiu laughed, and when Su Zheng approached, he joked: "Cousin Su should also be in the water to perform, so as to attract more people's attention."
Su Zheng was a little embarrassed, "I didn't get any fame, so I didn't dare to talk about marriage. I didn't expect the cousin Xiao Jiu to also come."
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "I just came out to join in the fun."
"It's a great spring, I really shouldn't be disappointed."
After a pause, Su Zheng asked with concern: "Is there nothing wrong with the son?"
"Cousin Liesu is worried, the son is okay, the officials of Zongzheng Temple dare not embarrass him."
"That's good. Recently, the Ministry of Household has cleaned up the debts, and there is no peace in the capital. Is your palace important?"
"The first hurdle was passed smoothly. It's just that I don't have money and I can't pay off the remaining debt."
