Chapter 2
Before the emperor collapsed, no matter whether he was an official, a noble or a trafficker, the upper and lower capitals of the capital should keep their filial piety for the emperor on the 27th and stop marrying for half a year to show respect for the emperor.
The family and nobles who have always enjoyed it had to stop their usual entertainment activities, closed the door and secretly ate some meat and teeth, but when they went out, they were all dressed in burlap and grief.
Emperor Xian stopped in the palace for twenty-one days, and finally shouted, slammed, and buried his emperor’s mausoleum in the courtiers’ sleeves and whimpering.
The new emperor was young and did not know how to cook national affairs, so Zhou, who was promoted to the empress, began to accompany the young emperor to deal with the government, and taught him carefully with several emperor teachers. Filial piety and respect, soon the two received the honorary medal of “Mother, Son, and Filial Piety” recognized by the Dafeng courtiers.
As the second young girl in Ningpingbo Mansion, Gu Rujiu heard not much about the political affairs of the dynasty. He only vaguely heard that the two elders mentioned that the body of the new emperor did not seem to be very strong. Others rarely mentioned it.
In fact, this is also very normal. The new emperor was young and did not have strong forces to support him. The right to speak up and down in the middle of the court was in the hands of Empress Zhou. This new emperor seemed less important.
This point can be drawn from the fact that the fathers and brothers usually mentioned the frequency difference between the New Emperor and the Empress Zhou.
It is difficult for a young emperor who is not very healthy to survive to pro-government. Who would rush to show his loyalty to him at this time? These families in the capital have always been suffocated and will not easily bet. This is why even if the dynasty changes, the family can still stand.
Because of the filial period of the first emperor, this year has been a bit boring, and the little sisters that Gu Rujiu made good can not play together, which is really regrettable.
From the beginning of the Enlightenment, the noble ladies of the family have to learn a lot of things. Needless to say, the art of riding the poems and paintings is not indispensable. Grooming is also indispensable.
Compared with his current life, Gu Rujiu felt that he had lived a bit rough in his previous life, so he was impressed by the rich and talented women in the family.
“Girl, the old man and your wife invited you to dinner in the main courtyard.” Baolu entered the house and waited for Gu Rujiu’s last word to close before she smiled and said, “Girl’s words are getting better and better.”
“Every day you said the same to them, I didn’t see it.” Gu Rujiu put aside his pen and felt that his handwriting looked okay, but he was a bit lacking in style. Other crossing women have always been proficient in playing poems, singing, singing, and poems. When she came to her, she simply pulled the hind legs for crossing colleagues.
Muxiang and Qiuluo stepped forward to clean up the book case for her. Qiuluo also persuaded: “How old are you girls? Although we don’t know how to write, but even the master said that your words are spiritual, it can be seen that really good.”
Several other close-fitting girls laughed in unison, even holding the copper basin to wait for Gu Rujiu to wash his hands and other girls, and also nodded.
Gu Rujiu allowed them to coax themselves and smiled and walked towards the main courtyard with four close-fitting girls. When she entered the main courtyard, she saw that the family was there. She stepped forward to see her parents and sister-in-law before sitting down next to the Yangs. “Dad and brothers are full of joy, but what good things happened?”
“It is indeed a good thing,” Gu Changling caressed his not-so-beautiful beard. “In a few days, the emperor wants to reward the meritorious minister. Our family is fortunate to receive the emperor’s respect, and one or two rewards.
Gu Rujiu knew clearly that a reward that would allow his father to show obvious joy would definitely not be a gold and silver jewelry, but more likely a real title or official position.
The Gu family was barely considered a second-class elite, and there were no particularly prominent people in the last two generations. Even his father, the first-class uncle, was also promoted from the third-class uncle after the Zhous entered the palace and let Xiandi value his painting and calligraphy.
Now that Queen Mother Zhou is in power, it may be possible to take care of her maiden family, but it is also a benefit of the Zhou family to discuss the distance between the relatives. How does it relate to the Gu family?
Do not understand, Gu Rujiu was too lazy to think again, with a white and tender soft bun face, smiled at Gu Changling, “Dad, please tell me, what will the emperor want to reward our family?”
If the two sons were so calm, Gu Changling reprimanded him early, but he was the daughter he loved most. He could n’t afford to sell Guan Zi to his daughter ’s black-and-white eyes, and he unconsciously brought two smiles: “To the Queen Mother ’s mother today, the Queen Mother wants to be an emperor for her father, teach emperor painting and calligraphy, and enter Two wait. ”
Gu Changling’s paintings and calligraphy are highly respected among literati, especially his calligraphy. Even several hermit celebrities in the Dafeng dynasty boasted that “a rare style, a dragon and a phoenix” can be seen. It is for this reason that among the Gu family, they are most respected and respected in Beijing.
“Really?” Gu Rujiu’s eyes suddenly smiled like a crescent moon. “This is really good. After the emperor’s pro-government, you will fight for a duke to come back.”
“This is good or bad,” Yang sighed. “The husband has seen the emperor?” No wonder she poured cold water at this time. It is true that her husband is naive and born to be a optimist. Of the four children, only the younger daughter is quite following his temperament. If the father and daughter are allowed to imagine this way, their Gu family will become a first-class family in Beijing tomorrow.
Empress Zhou and the emperor are not biological mothers and children. The emperor is young and physically weak. This emperor’s teacher seems to have a beautiful scenery.
“How could I not see it, but I only watched a few times in the past, and only talked a few words in private today,” Gu Changling said with praise, “Although the emperor is young, he has a very good manners and looks It ’s like a jade race month, it ’s unforgettable and pleasant to talk about. ”
“The emperor looks good?” Gu Rujiu heard the words Ruyu Saiyue, and suddenly came to the spirit, he asked, “Is it really that good?”
“Naturally this is the case. More importantly, the emperor was a child who knew how to be kind and benevolent. The Queen Mother taught him very well,” Gu Changling said with emotion, “It’s a pity that Princess Cheng died early, otherwise the emperor I ’m afraid I ’ll be even more shocked.
The birth mother of the emperor comes from the Sima family. The Sima family is a first-class family. The people from their family have always been the objects of imitation and respect.
The Yang family watched with some consternation, the husband and daughter, the two “face-seekers”, chatting happily about the appearance and grace of the young emperor, but sighing helplessly. Fortunately, the other three children are not as innocent as their father. , Otherwise she really has to break her heart.
“Ma’am, don’t worry too much, things are a foregone conclusion. It’s no use thinking too much,” Gu Changling, who was chatting with her daughter, took the time to tell Yang, “not to mention I just taught the Emperor’s painting and calligraphy, what’s worrying about.”
Yang’s startled, glanced at his husband, could not help but laugh, and do not know whether he is really naive or knows, these years seem naive, but I do not know if it is a will or a coincidence, but their days have passed The better.
Gu Zhiyu and his brother Gu Cunjing silently listened to their father and younger sister chatting from Emperor Yirong to the pastry shop on East Street. Gu Cunjing said bitterly, “Mother, when will you have dinner?”
The Yang family had no choice but to pass on the meal, and turned to Gu Changling: “Wash your hands and eat, the daughter is still young, don’t tell her this.” To the young daughter, how does another teenager look good?
Gu Changling was also aware of this and coughed dryly, shifting the topic stiffly: “How long has it been since the last word practice?”
Gu Rujiu looked at Gu Changling silently. Gu Changling was stared at by her daughter, and said with a smile: “Eat, eat.”
Although Gu was quite particular about being outside, but after closing the door, he didn’t have those troublesome rules. The Yangs have always been gentle and do n’t like to be that evil mother-in-law, so the two daughter-in-laws are not at the table, and they do n’t have to set up unnecessary rules.
After lunch was over, Gu Changling suddenly said: “Yes, I just forgot to say one thing. When I left the palace today, the queen mother mentioned the girl for a long time and said that she had not seen it for several years. . ”
“Which day can the Queen Mother say?” Yang was not surprised to hear that, but just asked.
“I didn’t say that, just for a few days, you have to prepare the things you need to use when you enter the palace for a long time, and then the queen mother will call it, and you won’t be too busy.” “The queen mother is a gentle elder. You don’t have to be nervous. It’s just like going to the palace as usual.”
Gu Rujiu blinked and looked at his dad. What does this mean is that they do n’t have to hold the empress dowager?
Seeing what the maiden was thinking, Gu Changling blinked and made an expression that she knew but didn’t say.
Gu Rujiu understood that her father was optimistic about the young emperor, but she still had concerns, so she would not rush to stand, but she would never let the emperor misunderstand him.
Knowing her own position, Gu Rujiu was relieved. She was still a bit worried. Because of her relationship with the older generation, she became a firm queen mother party.
It was not how much she understood North Korea’s politics, but that she had seen too many **** crimes in the history she learned in her previous life.
The **** tears of history tell us the truth. Do n’t be a man for a while. Long-term prosperity is the right way.
Thinking of this, Gu Rujiu couldn’t help but think that if this little emperor really had a father to say so well, it would be better to live longer.
Gu Changling was right, two days later, the Empress Zhou in the palace sent two five-rank female officials in the palace to pick up Gu Rujiu into the palace.
I don’t know if it was the Queen Mother who deliberately lifted or had any deep meaning. The frame that the Queen Mother arranged for Gu Rujiu was not an ordinary horse and horse, but a county rule.
