Chapter 88: Entering Beijing (two more)

From Tianmen Temple back to Cishi Mansion, got off the carriage at Ermen.
The servant got the news early and carried the soft sedan.
The maid helped Gu Yue sit on the soft sedan chair.
Xie's exhorted: "Take care of the three girls. If you have any needs, let someone go to the room and talk."
"Slaves obey orders." Several little maids bowed to take the order, accompanied Gu Yue, and went back to the room together.
Xie turned his head and looked at Gu Jiu.
"You guys should go back to your room and rest too. A few days before you return to Beijing, you should pack everything out quickly. Don't wait until the time to set out, and you will be in a mess."
"Yes!"
The crowd dispersed.
Xie returned to Shangfang with a gloomy face.
She was worried.
Although Mother Ping denied everything, Xie's heart was still unreliable.
Fortunately, we will leave for Beijing soon.
As long as you are far from the northwest, the things you worry about the most will probably not happen.
at night.
Master Gu came to the room for dinner.
"I heard that Yueer wrestled at Tianmen Temple today, or Pei Dalang sent her back to the room?"
Xie nodded, "I was about to talk to the master about this. When Yue'er went down the steps, she said she slipped under her feet and fell off accidentally. At the time, Master Pei was just nearby and she saw that Yue'er had injured her ankle. Walking, so I took the initiative to send Yue'er back to the room."
Master Gu asked blankly: "Does Yue'er's injury matter?"
Xie said: "You can raise it for two days."
Master Gu nodded.
Xie’s seated next to Master Gu, "Master, my concubine is thinking about how to thank Master Pei. Please make up your mind about this matter."
Master Gu said with a serious face: "You don't have to worry about this, I will arrange for someone to deal with it. Remember, don't do more contact with Luhou Mansion."
Xie's heart panicked, "Is there a problem with Luhou Mansion?"
Master Gu stared at Xie's. He hasn't forgotten that at the banquet last time, Xie tried to calculate Luhou's daughter.
Being stared by Master Gu's eyes, Xie's heart was not guilty, but also became guilty.
She asked carefully: "Master, do you have something to say?"
Master Gu solemnly reminded the Xie family, "Just treat the matter of Yue'er as an accident and don't mention it in the future."
Xie nodded again and again, "The concubine also thinks so. When he was in Tianmen Temple, he had already issued a seal to his servants, and no one was allowed to mention this."
Master Gu nodded in satisfaction, "It is very good for Madam to deal with it like this."
After a pause, Master Gu said again: "Luhou Mansion looks infinitely beautiful, but I don't know that it is already burning with fire. People like us can't take the initiative to interact with Luhou Mansion. Now the capital The situation is unknown. At this time, it is better to do more than to do less. Does the madam understand what it means to be a husband?"
Xie nodded, "The concubine understands. Master, don't worry, the concubine will not take the initiative to interact with Luhou House, let alone any unrealistic ideas."
Master Gu stared at Xie and could see that Xie did not tell lies. She really didn't want to have anything to do with Luhou Mansion.
Master Gu nodded secretly, and let out a sigh of relief.
The unstable backyard will only hinder his career.
It's so good for Xie's to be one mind with him.
Master Gu said to the Xie family: "The departure date has been set, the 16th of this month, the auspicious day. At that time, we will go to Beijing with officials from Taipu Temple."
When Xie heard this, he smiled.
"Before sixteen, there are still more than ten days. Master, don't worry, with so much time, all the luggage must have been packed by then."
Master Gu said: "I'll leave these things to you. Take back to the capital if you need to take them, and stay in the northwest if you don't need to take them."
"Master, don't worry, my concubine knows it."
Xie's happily, the last worry in his heart also disappeared with the wind.
After the departure date was set, the backyard of the Cishi Mansion became more and more busy.
People are busy packing their luggage.
The large luggage has already been sent to the capital first.
In Zhilan courtyard, boxes and cages were neatly placed on the ground.
After a while, the women will come over to carry these cages and transport them to the capital in batches.
Ome is still cleaning up.
"The weather is cold, so I have to prepare a few more winter clothes for the girl to wear on the road. I heard that the winter in Beijing is extremely cold."
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "No matter how cold the winter in Beijing is, it won’t be cold in the northwest. Qingmei, you don’t have to worry about my freezing. For clothes on the road, three or five pieces are enough. Leave all the other luggage to her mother. Son, transport it to the capital early."
Qingmei shook her head repeatedly, "That won't work. What if the girl is frozen on the road."
With a sigh of relief, Qingmei prepared ten pieces of clothes for Gu Jiu to wear on the road.
Gu Jiu shook his head and smiled. Forget it, let this matter depend on Qingmei.
"Qingmei, don't forget my book. The road is boring, so bring a few more books to read on the road."
Qingmei responded, "Don't worry the girl, the servant girl prepared a box of books for the girl. Enough for the girl to read on the road."
Gu Jiu nodded, so good.
Xiaocui came in from the outside, "Sister Qingmei, my wife is here. Ask which cages to take away?"
"The cages in the yard have to be taken away. Forget it, I will tell them personally. These women, if they don't stare at them personally, the luggage in the cages will be ruined by them."
After Qingmei finished speaking, she hurried out.
Gu Jiu sat by the window, and Qingmei's voice came from outside.
She laughed. During the recent period, Qiaomei really broke her heart.
While busy making winter clothes for her, he was busy packing her luggage.
The little maids of Zhilan Academy, doing ordinary things is fine. To make them as capable as Qingmei is really incapable.
Therefore, Ome has more things to worry about.
Dozens of cages were carried away by the women one by one, loaded into the car, and transported to the capital.
Qingmei also deliberately followed out and watched the women put the cages on the carriages with their own eyes, before returning to Zhilan Yard with confidence.
Qing Zhu came back from the outer courtyard and ran into Qing Mei when he came in.
She asked casually: "Are you all finished?"
Qingmei nodded, "All the luggage has been removed. The remaining luggage, go with the girl."
Qingzhu and Qingmei walked into the study together.
Qing Zhu said, "Girl, the slave girl took the words to Ms. Gui according to your instructions. Ms. Gui said that Erya's rules have been learned almost, and asked the girl, when will Erya come and serve? In addition, Mother Gui wanted Er Zhuang to follow the girl to the capital. She asked me to ask the girl’s opinion."
Gu Jiu put down the book and said, "Erya needs a sales contract before she can come to serve me. As for Erzhuang to go to the capital with me, is Ms Gui really willing?"
Qing Zhu nodded again and again, "Mother Gui has repeatedly confessed to the slaves and must ask the girl. It can be seen that Ms. Gui hopes that Er Zhuang will follow him to the capital."
Gu Jiu thought for a while and said, "Then let Er Zhuang follow me to Beijing. After a few years, the industry in the northwest will be formalized. Then I will receive Mother Gui to the capital for retirement."
Qing Zhu smiled and said, "Mother Gui would be very happy if she knew."
The move is proceeding quickly.
On the sixteenth day, almost the entire Cishi Mansion had been evacuated.
The luggage has been loaded into the carriage.
Standing in the empty Zhilan courtyard, Gu Jiu felt a bit of reluctance in his heart.
The flowers and plants here are all familiar.
Then, as soon as I left today, I would never have a chance to come back in my life.
Soon, there will be a new owner here.
Qingmei waited by Gu Jiu, "Girl, it's time to go."
Gu Jiu nodded, "Let's go."
She is going to the capital to start a new life.
Arriving at the second gate, get in the carriage.
Qingmei, Qingzhu, and Xiaocui sat with her in the carriage.
The second door is noisy, moving is a big project, and on the day to go, there are still many things that have not been handled properly.
Xie's face was stern, extremely unhappy.
Especially when she saw Aunt Bai Shi Shiran, who was supported by a maid, her face was so gloomy that it could drip.
Aunt Bai came to Xie's, "The slave and maid had met his wife, and she has worked hard."
Xie stared silently at Aunt Bai's abdomen.
Aunt Bai has been pregnant for three to four months, and her belly is slightly pregnant.
Xie said indifferently: "Get in the car. You have a double body, so you must be careful on the road. If you feel uncomfortable, remember to tell it. It doesn't matter to you, but the child is very tight. The master has always hoped that you can add imports to the family. "
Aunt Bai looked weak and said, "The humble concubine will remember his wife's instructions and dare not be careless."
Xie made a hum from his nose.
Auntie Bai got into the carriage supported by the maid.
Gu Lin was next to Aunt Bai, and asked in a low voice: "Auntie, are you okay?"
Aunt Bai smiled and comforted Gu Lin, "Don't worry about me. Remember what I said, on the way back to Beijing, talk less and watch more, don't get ahead in everything. We don't ask for anything else, just ask for peace and safety to reach the capital."
Gu Lin nodded, "Don't worry, my aunt, I will remember everything you say."
"Good boy."
Aunt Hu also arrived at the second door.
Xie glanced at her.
Aunt Hu bowed her head slightly and bowed to Xie's.
Xie pulled her up, "Sister, I trust you the most. You will not let me down, will you?"
Aunt Hu knew that Xie was reminding her that the best time to do it was on the way back to Beijing.
Never let Aunt Bai back to the capital with a big belly.
Aunt Hu lowered her head, avoiding Xie's compelling gaze, "Don't worry, Madam, the maids understand."
Xie laughed with satisfaction, "It's so good. I know you have always been reassuring."
Aunt Hu bowed her farewell and got into the carriage.
Gu Zhen asked curiously, "Auntie, what do you mean by what your wife said?"
Aunt Hu said calmly: "It's all trivial things, you don't have to worry about it."
Gu Zhen pestered Aunt Hu, "Auntie tell me."
Aunt Hu smiled, and said: "My wife is worried. After returning to the capital, someone will send a concubine to the master. I specifically told me that if a new person comes in, I must pay more attention."
Gu Zhen looked curious, "Will someone really give it to his father or to a woman?"
Gu Zhen was a little embarrassed to say the three words to give a woman, feeling very ashamed.
Aunt Hu nodded, "After the master returns to Beijing, he will serve as the capital of the capital. Capital, that is a rich and noble place. By then, someone will definitely send a concubine to the door. Some can refuse, some can't. That's it!"
Aunt Hu sighed with emotion, feeling very complicated.
Gu Zhen said: "Don't worry about how many women your father has. Auntie, you have me and your fourth brother. If we go, those women don't want to be wild in the house."
Aunt Hu laughed and patted the back of Gu Zhen's hand, "You have a heart. It takes ten or twenty days to go back to the capital. The road is very hard. Stop talking and keep your spirits up."
Gu Zhen nodded, "Daughter listens to my aunt."
No matter how chaotic the trip, or how many accidents occurred, it was finally time to set off.
The convoy came out of the governor's mansion.
Many people stood on both sides of the road watching, pointing and pointing.
Master Gu walked ahead and said his final farewell to his colleagues in Wuliting outside the city.
Gu Jiu raised the curtains of the car and looked outside.
"got windy."
Qingmei said, "The weather is getting cold. Fortunately, the girl's winter clothes are ready."
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "These days, you have worked hard."
"What the girl said, these are all slaves should do."
Master Gu said goodbye to his colleagues, and the convoy continued on.
It was getting farther and farther away from Jinju City and soon disappeared.
Gu Jiu put down the car curtains and took out a book to look like.
The journey is far away, and only books can dispel loneliness.
Walk at sunrise and rest at sunset.
The journey was exhausted, getting closer and closer to the capital.
During the period, I encountered heavy rain and stayed at the station for seven or eight days.
Xie's expressly hinted several times to remind Aunt Hu to do it quickly.
However, in the days when she was trapped in the post, Aunt Bai kept herself locked in her room, and even if she ate, she sent the maid to the room.
From the day she entered the station to the time she left the station, Aunt Bai didn't take a step outside the door. Everything is settled in the room.
Aunt Hu was willing to work, but couldn't find the opportunity.
In front of Xie's face, Aunt Hu also told the truth.
"Madam, Auntie Bai seems to be wary and has been reluctant to go out. The maidservant has never found a chance."
Xie frowned, "This Auntie Bai is rather cautious. Since she doesn't go out, then find another way."
Aunt Hu hesitated, "Madam, concubine thinks that the best time to do it is when Aunt Bai gives birth."
Xie stared at Aunt Hu, "What do you mean?"
Aunt Hu nodded, "Any accident will happen when a woman has a child. Even if the child is gone, no one will doubt it. If you do it at this time, it is easy to leave a handle, which will attract the master's dissatisfaction and suspicion."
Xie nodded secretly, "You have some truth."
If you really want to do it when Aunt Bai is giving birth, then prepare now.
From the diet, from the fetus, from the doctor, start little by little.
Directly make Aunt Bai's child difficult to give birth.
No need to do extra things by then, you can get what you want.
Xie's laughed, "It's the road. Aunt Bai is pregnant with her master's child. She has to tell the kitchen to make more supplements for Aunt Bai. Eat more and the child will grow stronger."
Aunt Hu secretly looked at Xie's, it seemed that his wife had already made up her mind.
Aunt Hu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and finally didn't have to use her hands to get her hands dirty.
The seven or eight days of staying at the inn were spent safely.
Except for Gu Yue, Gu Yue felt bored and made a lot of noise. Everything went well.
When the weather cleared and the road was half dry, Gu's family set off for the capital.
There are only a few dozen miles away from the capital.
Seeing that the capital was in sight, Master Gu suddenly made a decision not to go directly to the city today, but to stay at the post for one night and enter the city tomorrow morning.
The convoy entered the station.
Everyone settled down.
After washing, Gu Jiu and the sisters came to greet Xie's family.
Gu Yue took the lead to ask: "Mother, it's still early, why don't you go directly to the city, but instead stay at the post for one night?"
There are only a few dozen miles away from the capital, and if you rush, you will definitely be able to enter the capital before the gate is closed.
Xie said: "We were exhausted and exhausted all the way. How can we meet people when we go back to Beijing like this? It's better to take a rest at the post station for a night, get enough energy, and enter Beijing tomorrow morning."
That's it!
Gu Yue asked again: "Mother, are you going to the Hou Mansion tomorrow?"
Xie shook his head, "You don't need to go to the Hou Mansion tomorrow. I will take you to the Hou Mansion to greet you in the future. When you arrive at the Hou Mansion, you must cheer up."
Gu Yue laughed, "Mother don't worry, my daughter will behave well and will not shame you."
Xie smiled and said, "It's not enough to behave well. I have to leave a good impression on the old lady and the ladies of the Hou Mansion."
Gu Yue nodded heavily.
Xie said again: "I wonder if your elder aunt has cleaned up the yard of our second room."
Master Gu is ranked second in the house, and there is also an older brother who is a female compatriot.
Master Gu is a military commander, serving as an official in the capital.
Over the years, all things in the Fuzhong were taken care of by the Gu family.
The courtyard of the second room has not been inhabited for many years.
Xie's heart was still a little worried, worried that his sister-in-law had never cleaned up the courtyard of the second room.
Back then, when she was righting her body, she and the sister-in-law were quite dirty.
