Chapter Three Hundred and Ninety-Eight

Gu Shan was so angry with Xie that she cried.

Fortunately, today is not the first day of the new year, otherwise Xie Shi would have an excuse to scold Gu Shan.

Gu Shan cried and ran out of the flower hall, feeling like she was redundant.

As long as Gu Yue is willing to turn around, Xie will always have her place by her side. Why?

How could Gu Yue be forgiven for doing so many cruel things.

Gu Shan is dissatisfied!

Gu Jiu refused to give Xie's face, which made Xie hold back her anger and naturally wanted to vent on Gu Shan.

As soon as Gu Shan left, Mrs Xie also left angrily.

"Madam is confused." Gu Zhen muttered.

Hu said, "My wife is not so confused on the first day. It is too fair to say that my wife is partial. If my wife is not partial to the third aunt."

Gu Zhen was curious, "Why does my wife want to see Gu Yue?"

Gu Jiu smiled and said, "I just want to ask if Gu Yue is okay, and whether he has won over the King of Chu. By the way, he will teach some boudoir methods and help Gu Yue to rise to the top."

"She is a prince of the palace and wants to ascend to the throne. Is it possible that she can still be a princess?"

"Maybe you really have this idea." Gu Jiu smiled indifferently.

Gu Zhen felt unbelievable, "Gu Yue's ambition is really irrational."

Gu Jiu said, "Since it's ambition, where's the rationale?"

To attack the ultimate goal of desire, this is Gu Yue.

Gu Zhen said firmly: "Gu Yue will definitely suffer the consequences."

...

Gu Jiu heard from the maid that the Xie family has become more and more irritable in the past six months.

Maybe it's menopause.

Qingmei said, "The Sixth Young Mistress took away the housekeeping right of the wife, and now the wife does not care about anything, she just picks up her faults. No one is pleasing to the eye."

Gu Jiu laughed, "My wife is willing to be seized by the sixth sister-in-law? No trouble?"

"Master speaks in person and asks Sixth Young Mistress to take care of the housekeeping of the second room, and it's useless for the wife to make a fuss."

Sure enough, it is necessary for the Lord to come forward,

To be able to suppress Xie Shi.

Hu's methods are good, and he can actually suppress Xie's.

This marriage was chosen by Gu Chen himself, and he has a good vision.

Gu Jiu asked Qingmei, "Where is my brother?"

As a younger sister, she also has to fulfill her responsibilities and urge marriage.

Gu Xun was married when he was younger than him, so Gu Xun was in no hurry.

Qingmei said, "The third young master is in the outer courtyard. The servant heard that the third young master, together with the other young masters, wants to drink the young master's wine. He said that the young master will be drunk."

Hearing this, Gu Jiu laughed, "I really don't know how the young master's drinking capacity is. You go and tell Lin Shuping to take care of the young master and prepare the hangover soup in advance. Just stare, don't make too much noise."

"The slaves obey."

During the lunch banquet, Gu Shan still had red eyes and was very aggrieved.

She ignored Xie Shi.

Shi Xie was so angry that she wanted to curse, but she was stopped by Mrs. Zhang.

"It's rare for aunts to come back, so the second siblings should be kind. Even if it's not your own, they'll call you mother."

Xie wanted to say it was not uncommon, but the words came to his mouth and swallowed. Because she was afraid of being slapped in the face by Gu Jiu.

Because Gu Jiu never called her mother, but always called her wife.

Courteous, but contemptuous.

Yes, Mr. Xie felt Gu Jiu's contempt.

It hurts her more than killing her.

A stepdaughter, who has the right to despise her?

What's even more irritating is that Gu Jiu, a sick child, can still marry into the palace, and he is very prosperous in the palace.

Her own daughter, Gu Yue, could only be a concubine in the palace.

For countless nights, the more Xie thought about it, the more unwilling he became.

She felt that everything Gu Jiu had now should belong to Gu Yue. Gu Jiu should go to the palace to be a concubine.

Gu Jiu didn't know what Xie was thinking.

If she knew, she would have to give her a big ear shave.

Gu Yue was willing to degenerate, and rushed to become a concubine, but she was shameless and said she was not willing.

Not reconciled to a fart.

However, the Xie Shi had been making a fuss for a long time, and Gu Jiu also thought she was annoying.

So she had an idea in her heart, which I won't show here for the time being.

After the banquet, Gu Jiu went to the Hou residence to greet him.

She heard a message in Hou Mansion.

Miss Wei San is sick!

He was so sick that he couldn't get out of bed, and the imperial doctor was helpless.

The Wei family in the Duke's Mansion of Zhu State was discussing to withdraw from the family of the King of Chu.

"The marriage between the third sister Wei and the third son of the Chu palace is based on your Majesty's instructions, and your Majesty should agree to break off the marriage."

Gu Mei nodded, "I heard that Jiang Shuyi is pregnant, Your Majesty is in a very good mood. The Duke of Zhu Guo's residence intends to withdraw from the relatives while they are very good."

Gu Jiu's mood was a little complicated at this moment.

At first, she just casually thought of a solution for Wei San, that is, to die and then live. Unexpectedly, Wei San not only listened to it, but also persuaded his parents to break off the marriage on the grounds that he was about to die.

It's only been a few days, it's less than a month, it's decisive enough.

From this, it can be seen that Wei San's idea of ​​breaking off the marriage is very firm.

She said: "I hope that the Duke of Zhuguo's government can smoothly retire from relatives."

Gu Mei didn't know the truth, she thought Wei San was really sick.

She was very worried, "I'm very worried about the third sister Wei. I'm afraid that she has three strengths and two weaknesses. She is still so young."

"Sister Mei, don't worry, Sister Wei Sanji has her own good looks, and she will definitely get better."

Gu Mei was worried, "If it wasn't for me being pregnant, I would have gone to visit her for fear of getting sick."

"Sister Mei, don't worry too much, trust the imperial doctor."

I believe that Duke Zhu and his wife would not let Wei San die in order to retire from their relatives, so Wei San must have been a little surprised this time. When he successfully withdraws from his relatives, Wei San's "illness" will get better.

After saying goodbye to everyone in the Hou Mansion, Gu Jiu returned to the Gu Mansion.

Liu Zhao was joined by the brothers of the Gu family to drink alcohol.

Lin Shuping waited by his side.

Gu Jiu went to the wing to take a look, and when she walked to the door, she smelled the stench of wine, which almost killed her.

She clutched her chest, distressed.

I can't stand the smell of wine, I feel a little sick and feel sick.

She didn't force herself, "I won't go in first. Lin Shuping, take good care of your son, and don't leave him for half a step."

"Old slave obey!"

Gu Jiu hurriedly fled away, and after walking far, did he catch his breath.

Qingmei was worried, "Madam, what's wrong with you? Does it matter?"

Gu Jiu shook her head and waved her hand, "I'm fine." She just felt a little nauseated.

It turned out that after being pregnant, I couldn't even smell the alcohol.

She checked the pulse for herself, and the pulse was quite obvious. She was indeed pregnant.

In eight or nine months, she will give birth to a baby.

Gu Jiu felt a little embarrassed when she thought that she would also be a mother.

She is still confused now, and she doesn't know how to take care of the child after the child is born.

Gu Jiu also planned to visit Mr. Gu.

In the end, Mr. Gu was even more powerful. The yard was full of alcohol, and she didn't dare to step in. It was too uncomfortable.

She ordered Ma Xiaoliu to go in, and told Mr. Gu to take medicine on time and pay attention to health.

She smelled alcohol, and Mr. Gu's alcohol dependence was getting worse.

When Old Man Gu heard that Gu Jiu was coming, he put on his robe and ran out.

"Second girl, why didn't you come in?"

"Master, please forgive me, I'm not feeling well and can't smell alcohol."

Old Man Gu was very worried, "What's wrong with your body? Why can't you smell alcohol. Did that kid Liu Zhao bully you?"

Gu Jiu shook his head, "It's none of Liu Zhao's business, it's my problem."

"What's the problem, you and the old man make it clear."

Gu Jiu covered her mouth, pantothenic acid in her stomach and almost vomited it out.

"Father, one day you don't drink, I'll visit you again. I'll go first."

She was afraid of spitting it out in front of Mr. Gu, so she hurried away.

Mr. Gu was messy in the wind.

He whispered, "Is it because Xiao Jiu looks like she is pregnant? Well, I guess the month is too shallow, so I don't want to make a statement."

Old Man Gu's turbid eyes flashed with a ray of light, the light of an old man.

He called his old subordinate and said, "Give this envelope to the second aunt, and say that the old man congratulates her in advance."

The old subordinate was a little stunned, "What's in here?"

"Don't worry about what it is, just leave it to her and tell her to take good care of her body."

The old subordinate led the way.

Gu Jiu originally wanted to find Gu Jun, do her sister's responsibility, and urge the marriage.

But after passing by Liu Zhao and Mr. Gu, she immediately dismissed the idea.

Gu Jun must have been drinking too much.

She didn't expect that she couldn't stand the smell of wine.

During the banquet, the sisters were drinking fruit wine, and she didn't feel the smell at all.

It seems that it is still a matter of the type of drink, or the man has drunk and the wine has become stinky.

Qingmei and several maids were very worried about Gu Jiu's body.

On the contrary, it was Mama Fang, her eyes were inquiring, and her expression was strange.

Gu Jiu turned her head and faced Momo Fang's gaze, then smiled at her, indicating that she could see through and not speak.

Mother Fang's always serious and mean expression suddenly revealed a big smile. The smile is a little stiff, but it looks really, really happy.

Qingmei's maids were a little horrified, "Mother Fang, are you alright?"

Momo Fang put away her smile instantly, and returned to her serious and mean look.

"Of course it's fine," she said coldly.

Qingmei and several maids had some snacks.

Because Madam and Fang mama are not normal.

...

When Liu Zhao woke up, Gu Jiu ordered someone to help him into the carriage.

She said goodbye to Master Gu and the others, and was about to leave for the palace.

Just when she was about to get into the carriage, a servant in the house ran over, "Second aunt, this is given to you by the old man. He said that he congratulated you in advance and told you to take care of your health."

Gu Jiu was stunned for a moment.

Congratulations to her in advance?

Is it difficult?

She took the envelope and looked at it. It was filled with silver bills. Other than that, there was nothing.

She asked, "Did the old man say anything else?"

Jiading shook his head, "The old man only asked his wife to take good care of her body."

Gu Jiu laughed.

Older gingers are more spicy.

Unexpectedly, just a little clue, the old man guessed that she was pregnant.

She smiled and said, "Tell the old man that I received the gift, and I am very satisfied. Tell him to drink less, take the two prescriptions on time, and move around when you have time."

"The younger will tell the old man what the second aunt said truthfully."

Gu Jiu was still a little worried, "If the old man has any difficulties, remember to tell me."

"Little understands."

Gu Jiu was a little reluctant to give up, but in the end she got on the carriage and set off back to the palace.

Liu Zhao was so drunk that he walked staggeringly.

Gu Jiu directly ordered his servants to carry the soft sedan chair and carry him back to the East Courtyard.

She couldn't get close because she couldn't smell the stench of wine on Liu Zhao's body. He instructed the servants to serve him, and after taking a shower, he threw himself on the bed and fell asleep.

Gu Jiu rubbed his brows, his brother Gu Shu must have gone crazy today, let Liu Zhao drink like this.

When Liu Zhao woke up, it was already midnight and everything was quiet.

Everyone was asleep, but he was awake.

He had memories of being drunk, and it was the first time he was so drunk, and the first time he knew that he was drunk and even knew what was happening around him.

He shook his head and smiled bitterly, Gu Shu, the elder brother-in-law, really looked at him as unpleasantly as always. He even joined all the brothers to drink him.

He doesn't even drink.

The son-in-law came to the door, how could he take Joe.

Uncle brother toast, how can you refuse.

He still remembered Gu Jiu visiting him when he was drunk and lying in the wing. As a result, the smell of wine smoked people away.

He got out of bed and went to Gu Jiu's bedroom.

The man slept soundly, as if he had dreamed of something funny, with a smile on his face.

He also laughed, feeling warm in his heart.

Leaning down, he gently placed a kiss on Gu Jiu's forehead.

Sleeping in a familiar environment, surrounded by his own people, Gu Jiu slept soundly, without the slightest defense.

She didn't know that Liu Zhao was standing beside the bed looking at her at the moment.

If she wakes up and sees a figure in the dark night, she must be scared of a heart attack.

Liu Zhao stayed for a while, then got up and went to the small study.

In the second half of the night, he held a book and spent it in the small study.

...

Throughout the first month, Gu Jiu and Liu Zhao have been visiting relatives and friends for a banquet.

Today, the king's uncle treats guests, tomorrow's princess aunt treats guests, and the day after tomorrow, Pei's family treats guests...

Feasts that can't be eaten, people that can't be entertained.

In such a scene, Gu Jiu was at ease. It's just that it's a little tired to come here every day. The gifts sent out are like running water.

When it was Prince Ning's turn to treat guests, he was so busy that his feet didn't touch the ground.

If Gu Jiu wanted to have a chat with Gu Jun, he had to be lazy to spare time.

The servant invited Gu Jun to the wing, and Gu Jiu arrived shortly after.

"younger sister!"

Gu Jun grinned, very happy. That is, people get tanned, grow taller, and become stronger. Already have a man's physique, no longer a teenager.

Gu Jiu slumped on the chair, "Brother, don't laugh so stupidly."

Gu Jun scratched his head, "Are you stupid? I think I'm pretty handsome."

Gu Jiu laughed, "How is your brother doing in the military camp?"

Gu Jun said excitedly: "Very good. The military camp is my home."

"Isn't brother planning to get married?" Gu Jiu asked casually.

Gu Jun said: "I don't plan to get married yet. I have to make achievements first. In my sister's words, after I have the capital, I have the right to choose."

Gu Jiu rubbed his eyebrows, feeling a little pain.

Did she fool her brother into lame?

"But building a career and starting a family are not in conflict."

"That's different. Now the people I look up to, others look down on me. People look up to me, but I don't look down on them. When I make merit and get promoted, I can naturally choose better of."

Gu Jiu asked curiously, "After so many years, has my brother didn't like anyone?"

Gu Jun smiled and answered very simply, "No!"

Gu Jiu couldn't help laughing, "Okay, I'm just urging me to get married and do my duty. Since my brother plans not to get married for the time being, I'll rely on you. It's not an easy thing to just want to make a living."

"I know that. I was about to tell you about it today. I already told Shangguan. When the spring begins, I will go to the northwest border to switch defenses. I want to make a fortune under the command of Luhou."

Gu Jiu was stunned.

"What did you say? Are you going to the Northwest Frontier Army? Are you crazy?"

The Northwest Frontier Army fought the most battles and suffered the most battle losses. Especially under the command of Marquis Lu, they fought hard battles, and every time they suffered heavy casualties. Of course, it is also the fastest army to get promoted.

Gu Jun said resolutely: "My sister, do you remember that when I was in the northwest, I said I was going to join the army, what did you say?"

Gu Jiu was speechless.

What she said at the beginning was that since she wanted to join the army, she had to practice her skills well and be a good boy with both civil and military skills. He also forced Gu Jun to study cultural courses and study military books of past dynasties.

Gu Jun said, "I've been preparing for three years, and I've been training in the barracks for two years. Time waits for no one. I think it's time for me to go to the battlefield and see what a real war is."

Gu Jiu was a little sad, "I'm worried about you."

Gu Jun grinned, "Don't worry, little sister, I'm dead, I can't die."

Gu Jiu bared his teeth, still laughing, and could still laugh.

She was a little excited, her heart was stuffy, and she was uncomfortable.

She tried to ask: "Can't you change places, have to go to the northwest?"

"If you want to go to the strongest army. Sister, don't worry about me. In three or five years, I will make everyone admire you. I will support you at that time, and whoever dares to bully you, I will beat him."

Gu Jiu turned her head, wiped the corners of her eyes, and then asked, "Does your uncle know about this?"

The eldest uncle is also in Beijing camp.

When Gu Jun joined the army, it was arranged by his uncle.

Gu Jun felt a little guilty, "I haven't told my family about this yet. My sister was the first to know about it. You keep it a secret for me."
