Chapter 1198: Difficult to Calm (1)
By August, the weather starts to get cooler.
Old Madam Gu felt shallow, and got up early every day. This day is no exception, and after washing up, go for a walk in the garden.
The big trees in the garden are still there, and Shen Shaozhou sent people to transplant a lot of flowers and plants in the first two months, so the garden is also a thriving scene at this time.
Walking on the stone path, Old Madam Gu listened to the crisp calls of the birds in the trees and said with a smile: "It's still practical to live here." ”
This is her roots, whether it is in the capital or Pingzhou, her heart is empty.
After walking, Mother Hua brought her a bowl of bird's nest porridge.
As soon as he finished eating, Steward Kong came over and replied: "Old lady, the eldest girl asked Huzi to send a letter back." Old lady, Huzi said that our eldest aunt has been promoted to three levels in a row, and now he is the Shaoqing of Dali Temple. ”
Jiang Fangfei's mother was sick, and Jiang Fangfei couldn't leave by himself, so he was ready to let Huzi go back to his hometown. After returning to Qingshu, she asked Huzi to send a letter back by the way.
Old Madam Gu was stunned for a while, and it took a while to come back to her senses: "Quick, let Huzi come in." ”
Sure that this was true, the old lady Gu was overjoyed, and everyone else was also smiling.
However, soon Old Madam Gu felt that something was wrong, and she asked, "What kind of credit has Jing Ene made to be promoted to three levels in a row." ”
Huzi didn't think much about it, and said all the things that Fu Jingene had made a great contribution.
Old Madam Gu was angry and annoyed, and said: "You dare to hide such a big thing from me, this stinky girl sees that I don't go back to Beijing to clean her up." ”
Huzi felt that he had made a mistake and didn't dare to say anything.
Shen Shaozhou and Gu Xian got the news and hurriedly came over. Gu Xian was the first to ask: "Mother, mother, I heard that Jing Ene has been promoted, is it true?" ”
Old Madam Gu said angrily: "It's true, but it's all Jing Ene who exchanged his life for it." Qingshu, this kid is really good, why don't you know how to stop it! What if Jingene has one, what if the orphans and widows have to do it then? ”
Shen Shaozhou said: "Mother-in-law, His Royal Highness the Grand Sun asked Jing Ene to follow, and they can't refuse!" However, Qingshu said that Jing Ene has martial arts in his body to protect himself. ”
At this time, Old Madam Gu still didn't understand something, she covered her chest and said, "Wow, you all know your feelings and hide them from me." ”
Gu Xian persuaded: "Mother, aren't we afraid that you will worry?" Mother, before Qingshu wrote to us to say that Jingene would be fine, I was afraid that we would be anxious after hearing the rumors. Mother, don't you see Jing Ene is fine? Not only is it fine, but I've also been promoted three levels in a row! ”
Shen Shaozhou also said: "Mother-in-law, Qingshu is also afraid that you will be in a hurry. Otherwise, she would never have sent a letter to tell us the good news in such a hurry. ”
Gu Xian said: "Mother, whether you are an official or in business, it is dangerous. Shaozhou used to take ships to sea, and there would not only be natural disasters such as hurricanes, but also pirates. However, as long as you have the ability, even if there is danger, you can save the day. Jing Ene has good martial arts, and those little villains can't help him. ”
When Old Madam Gu heard this, she said with a cold face: "You are not worried at all. ”
Gu Xian's face froze. If I was afraid of playing with my face before, but now I can't help but say: "Mother, it's not that I'm not worried, but it's useless to worry!" But I have asked the Bodhisattva to bless Jing Ene safely. ”
Old Madam Gu's face softened a little.
Shen Shaozhou said with a smile: "Mother, are we going to set up a banquet for these big happy events and invite relatives and friends to have a glass of wine!" ”
Old Madam Gu didn't want to be so public.
Gu Xian said: "Mother, we must set up this banquet, and we have to let the people of Taifeng County know that we are back." ”
Although it is said that Qingshu is married to someone else's family, Gu Lin is the heir of the Gu family. Jingene will definitely carry Gu Lin with him if he has a good future, so the Gu family is also going to get up.
After being persuaded by the two of them in turn, Mrs. Gu finally agreed to make a drink, and the two of them quickly sent out the invitation the next day.
Lin Chengzhi held the red invitation, his face was a little complicated, and he sighed after a long time.
Zhang looked at his expression and couldn't help but say: "They just live back in the old mansion and don't think it's a housewarming, and they don't know why they want to hold this banquet." If you don't want to go, don't go. ”
Lin Chengzhi smiled bitterly: "What do you know? This banquet of the Gu family was said to be a housewarming, but it was actually held for Jing Lene's promotion. ”
"Jing Ene has been promoted again? How do we not know when. ”
Lin Chengzhi said: "What happened more than half a month ago ......"
Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Zhang frowned and said, "Even if Jing Ene is promoted, there is no need to be so public, right?" ”
Lin Chengzhi shook his head and said: "Jing Ene has been promoted to three levels in a row, and now he is the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, such a big happy event is not an exaggeration to put on a three-day flowing water banquet." ”
Zhang was a little stunned, and asked after half a sound: "Promoted to three levels in a row?" I remember that he was a five-rank official before, and what level is it now? ”
"Now it's the official of the fourth grade. Our prefect of Pingzhou is the fourth grade, and the Beijing officials of the same rank are actually half a cut higher than the local officials. ”
What's more, Jingene still has to be relied on by his grandson, and his future is unlimited.
For the Zhang family, the county orders are all remarkable, and the prefect is even more official. Fu Jingene was even more powerful than the prefect, and she was in a trance for a while.
But soon she came back to her senses and said in a panic, "How can that be done?" Qingshu is the girl of our Lin family, they take care of the family to hold this wedding banquet, what will others think of us at that time? ”
As soon as the news spreads, others will definitely talk about them.
Lin Chengzhi said very unpleasantly: "Qingshu is the girl of the Lin family, yes, but she was raised by the Gu family, and this news was also written by Qingshu to tell Mrs. Gu." ”
Qing Shu didn't even write to tell him about such a big happy event, which showed that in Qing Shu's heart, Mrs. Gu was the most important. Of course, Lin Chengzhi also knew that he was incomparable with Old Madam Gu, but he was still a little disappointed after knowing this.
Zhang thought of the past, smiled bitterly and said, "Master, let's not go then!" Otherwise, others will make fun of us. ”
If you want to blame it, blame the old lady and the old lady for going too far before, so that Qingshu has no feelings for the Lin family.
Qingshu set up a women's school to let the girls in the clan study for free, and everyone thought that she was Gu Nianlin's family. But Lin Chengzhi and the Zhang family knew very well that Qingshu was not interested in the Lin family, and the establishment of this women's school was just to sympathize with the girls in the clan and give them a chance to change their names.
Lin Chengzhi said: "This banquet is for housewarming, if someone says about it, you can go over." ”
"If I still don't go, then let Le Wei's daughter-in-law go." She didn't want to be asked, and she couldn't do anything to please someone.
Lin Chengzhi knew her temperament and didn't embarrass her. The Zhang family was not good at socializing in the first place, so now the entertainment at home is basically Le Wei's daughter-in-law.
