After lunch, the old lady wanted to rest as usual, so she instructed Doudou to send Yuan Xiang and the others to the study in the outer courtyard.
The officials haven't had too many official duties recently, and Yuan Zheng usually returns home at the end of the day, and Yuan Xiang shouldn't hide Yuan Zheng's pregnancy.
Doudou and the others said goodbye and left, and Wu's mother and Frangipani waited for the old lady to loosen their hair, change their bedclothes, and lay on the bed.
The old man slept lightly, and in less than half an hour the old lady was woken up by a low voice.
"Aunt Cui, who is talking outside," the old lady said in a daze.
Mother Wu heard the old lady calling her, and hurriedly pushed the door and walked in: "Old lady, it's the second lady who is here." ” "Didn't Ah Chao enter the palace early in the morning, why did she come at this time" The old lady sat up with the help of Mother Wu.
Mother Wu poured a cup of hot tea, put the big pillow behind the old lady, and then said, "Why don't the slave maid invite the second lady in."
The old lady is not the kind of person who likes to put on a stand in front of her daughter-in-law, so she took a sip of tea and said, "Let her in." ” Gu Chao pays the most attention to maintenance, and he has already gone back to his room to sleep at this time on weekdays, and today he has encountered something.
Recently, the old lady thought that she was quite reliable, but she didn't think much about it.
After a while, Gu Chao came in, and his pretty face was full of joy that he couldn't hide.
The old lady's heart that she had just put down tightened slightly, she had been with Gu Chao for nearly twenty years, and it was probably not a good thing when she showed such a look on her face.
Or in Gu Chao's opinion, it is a good thing, but in fact, it always makes others a little unbearable.
After saluting the old lady, Gu Chao sat down on the chair next to the bed.
The old lady handed the teacup to Wu's mother and said with a smile: "Didn't you say that you came back after dinner?"
Gu Chao smiled: "Guess who I met in Ci'an Palace today" Seeing that she was smiling so brightly, the old lady couldn't bear to splash her cold water.
Fortunately, Xiang'er is pregnant, and Gu Chao is also a person who wants to be a grandmother, so she should be given some face.
The old lady just smiled, but did not answer.
She knew her daughter-in-law too well, even if she didn't speak, Gu Chao could happily finish speaking.
Sure enough, Gu Chao only smiled and said: "On the sixth day of the seventh month, aren't we going to give Yuan'er a ceremony, I've been worried that Zhengbin doesn't know who to invite, but I didn't expect to meet Mrs.
Lu in the palace today." ” The old lady also showed some surprise on her face: "You mean the second assistant Lu Mingcheng's wife, Mrs.
Meng's old lady?"
Gu Chao smiled even more happily: "Isn't it her, I remember that when I was a child, Gu Fu and Lu Fu had a lot of contacts, and she liked our sisters the most." ” The old lady said in her heart that Gu Chao Bacheng had made a mess again, and said quietly: "I remember that she also left Beijing seven or eight years ago and returned to her hometown, when did she return to Beijing?"
Gu Chaodao: "Eight years ago, Lu Ge's old mother died of illness, he took the whole family back to his hometown to keep filial piety to his old mother, and then the old man recovered, but the old lady did not return to Beijing with him.
I was surprised to meet her in Ci'an Palace today, she returned to the capital three days ago, and also entered the palace to ask the Empress Dowager to say goodbye, I looked at her complexion is very good, and she is as good-tempered as in the past, and she talked to me for a long time. ” The old lady glanced at her daughter-in-law who was talking with her eyebrows, and the people were so good-natured and pulled you to talk for a long time, and you gave Sister Yuan and the guests at the ceremony by the way If only I had such a plan in my heart, it would be a pity I don't know if she hinted at it in front of others, or if she had already said it to death.
If the words are already dead, it's going to be troublesome.
Aside from other factors, Meng Shi is indeed a good candidate for Zhengbin, with a high status, a good reputation, and a well-blessed person, who in the capital does not want to invite such a Zhengbin is also an old Fengjun, and the old lady knows the psychology of Mrs.
Lu very well.
When others invited her to be a guest, Mrs.
Lu would probably not agree.
But Yuan'er's identity is too special, although these elderly first-class ladies are not enough to please, they will not refuse to have such an opportunity to get close.
The Lu family is a scholarly family, and it is not as good as the Gu family in terms of foundation, but it is much stronger than the Dong family.
But Lu Mingcheng is a good old man who handles things smoothly, and he has never easily offended people in the court, but he has not made any achievements.
Whether it is age or seniority, he surpasses Gu Ge Lao, but whether it is the first emperor or the current majesty, he has never been there when considering the first and auxiliary candidates.
Now that he is in his sixtieth year, it is time to speak.
People walking tea and cool are the most obvious in the court, what should his sons do, where is the future of the lu family Mrs.
Lu can come to be the guest of honor for Sister Yuan's ceremony, although the Pei Yuan family has face, it is not a good thing for the Lu family Not to mention having a good relationship with Huo Peiyuan's three families, he can also raise the status of the Lu family in front of the nobles.
Moreover, speaking of this old lady Lu, the Meng family, it is the descendant of Yasheng, and it is really noble.
It's a pity that Sister Yuan is not a person who cares about this, and the only person she recognizes is her master.
The second granddaughter has such a wish, and she has already sent a letter to the county lord Yanwan, she will never let Sister Yuan lose face.
The old lady stroked the embroidery on the brocade quilt and said with a smile: "Ah Chao, you shouldn't be talking to death?"
She knew in her heart that it must be like this, but she inevitably had some luck.
Gu Chao said with a smile: "As soon as I said that Yuan'er was going to hold a ceremony, but the candidate for the guest of honor has not been decided, can you ask her to work hard, Mrs.
Lu will respond very simply."
The old lady stroked her forehead and sighed, she knew it would be like this Where did the elm pimple come from?
It's rare that she really thought about it for Yuan'er, but she did something bad with good intentions.

People like Meng Shi love face the most, and if you don't invite her, she will naturally not rush to take the initiative to ask for help.
Once she is invited, she will definitely take this matter seriously, who would dare to pour cold water on such a face-loving person It seems that she has to give up this old face, but even if she does, the Meng family may not give her this face.
Gu Chao finally found that the old lady's face was pale.
She frowned and said, "Mother, do you think Old Madam Lu is inappropriate?"
The old lady smiled bitterly: "Suitable is naturally suitable, but Sister Yuan has already invited her master to be the guest, what do you say?"
Gu Chao said disapprerovingly: "Isn't Yuan'er's master just an ordinary old woman, this matter is easy to solve." ” The old lady said: "Don't you know Sister Yuan'er's temper, even if Granny Yi is really just a common man in cloth, she will definitely invite Granny Yi to be a guest, not to mention do you know what Granny Yi's identity is?"
Gu Chao looked at the old lady with puzzled eyes.
Doudou has never been intimate with her, and the identity of the master will not be told to her, of course, even if she does, she may not be willing to listen.
The old lady stroked her forehead again: "Granny Yi is the granddaughter of the first generation of King Shu, and the lord of Yanwan of my Great Zhou Dynasty. ” Gu Chao exclaimed in disbelief: "Lord Yanwan" She secretly calculated to herself, so that the old woman's rank was as high as that of the Queen Mother There are almost no nobles of that generation of clan nobles, and the identity of the county lord of Yan Wan is very noble.
