My daughter usually stays at her parents' home for three days when she returns home, and Zhang Jusi is no exception.
She walked on a carriage on the fourth day, and was with Pan Xu who came to call him back.
Gu Han accompanied Wang and Ning to see her off, and did not turn back until she reached the screen wall.
When he arrived in front of the gate of Guihuayuan, Wang said, "You all take a break... I haven't been asleep for the past two days and nights. I'm very tired, so I have to lie down and take a break."
Ning and Gu Han looked at each other, and both nodded and said "Yes".
"Mother is too worried about the fourth sister..." Ning shook her head and took Gu Han's hand to the direction of the back garden: "The eyes are blue."
Gu Han smiled: "I feel sorry for parents in the world. Who doesn't want their children to be happy?"
"But that's the reason."
Ning clapped Gu Han's hand: "Nothing else is said, I am just a throat disease that Brother Chun must suffer from in autumn and winter. I am so worried that I can't sleep all night..."
Gu Han touched his stomach, his expression softened a lot.
The light blue sky is extremely clean, without any impurities, like a high-quality gem.
The breeze blows, and the air brings a faint fragrance of chrysanthemums.
When the day was at the end of the month, the Zhang family received an invitation from Danei.
The dates are all stated.
On the sixth day of the tenth lunar month, the Empress held a flower-welfare at Prince Yu’s mansion where she had lived. All the officials and relatives of the fourth rank and above in Kyoto were invited by her.
The Empress arrived in person, and the situation was really big... After receiving the news, Wang immediately summoned the eldest daughter-in-law Ning and the third daughter-in-law Gu to discuss.
"Mother, I'm so terrible."
Ning sighed: "Chun Ge'er's throat disease has not yet healed, and she often makes trouble. I dare not leave him for a moment."
Wang was also worried and asked her: "Didn't you let the doctor treat you?"
Why haven't it improved yet?"
"The throat disease is a chronic disease and needs to be cured slowly."
Wang waved his hand: "Well, you can stay at home to guard Brother Chun... Otherwise, I will always be concerned about it."
Ning leaned over and agreed.
"Mother, my daughter-in-law's belly is getting bigger and bigger. It's been more than eight months. She is really inconvenient to move. She feels pain in her back after walking for a while..."
Gu Han smiled and said, "I'm afraid I can't go."
"From the third family, if you don't go, will your mother have to go there alone?"
Wang looked at her belly and said, "You don't want to walk too much. We ride in a sedan chair back and forth, and there will be no bumps.
Furthermore, the mother-in-law may have to go, and you may be able to see her... The mother and daughter have not seen each other for a long time, so it is also good to sit in the same place to talk.
My mother-in-law must be worried about you too.”
Gu Han thought about it and thought Wang's suggestion was OK, so he nodded: "Everyone follows my mother's arrangement."
Dr. Song took her pulse these two times and said that she was well-reared. He also told her to walk more often when she was energetic.
Just be careful not to get tired.
"Good boy."
Mrs. Wang held a bowl to drink tea, and was very satisfied.
Gu Han's identity is different now. She led the elder's wife to the banquet, and her face was also glorious.
When he went to the Queen's flower viewing banquet, Gu Han naturally wanted to say something to Zhang Juling.
She just waited until he was at home and told him clearly.
"Um?"
Zhang Juling's expression was a little shocked. After a while, he asked, "Are you going too?"
Gu Han looked at him for no reason, "Yes", and joked with him: "Why are you becoming a big official, why are you stupid again?
If I don't go, I won't tell you..."
Zhang Juling lowered his head and thought, as if he was hesitating about something.
"Are you unhappy?"
Gu Han put down his work, went to his side, and sat down on the couch of Xiangfei: "If you don't want me to go to the banquet, I won't go."
"No."
Zhang Juling hugged her in her arms: "The Queen must have invited many people to the flower-watching banquet.
It must be a lot of people and I’m afraid you won’t adapt.”
"I just follow my mother to meet her, and I don't wander around elsewhere... I don't think it will be a problem."
Gu Han reached out to hug his neck, and said in a small voice: "Maybe mother, grandmother and others will go, I haven't seen them for a long time..."
Zhang Juling responded, lowered his head and kissed his wife's forehead, "You can sit at home all day and go see the flowers and plants, and you will feel a little more open."
At worst, he secretly sent more secret guards to protect her safety.
Gu Han kissed his left cheek affectionately to express his joy.
Zhang Juling rhythmically stroked his wife's back and thought about his own affairs.
The flower-welfare banquet held by the Empress was actually agreed upon by him and the Emperor, and it was a case that deliberately led Zhu Gaozhi to appear.
He had evidence that Zhu Gaozhi contacted the bureaucrats in Nanjing's yamen intended to rebel again, but he was struggling to see no one... There should be a master behind Zhu Gaozhi, so that he got the news that he had settled in Kyoto, and he would go there and be no one.
This has been the case twice.
The so-called "no matter" is just three. If Zhu Gaozhi cannot be caught this time, the emperor will probably blame him for his ineffective work.
He has to do this with a dangerous move, for the sake of public and private... He has to do this! At that time, he can only act according to the opportunity.
On the sixth day of the tenth lunar month, the sky is as clear as the sun is shining, and the weather is really good.
Early in the morning, Gu Han was screamed by Taohong. After washing, he sat in front of the dressing table to apply jasmine powder.
"Taohong, has my face become bigger?"
Gu Han stared at himself in the mirror suspiciously.
"No."
Taohong took a red sandalwood comb and served Gu Han to comb his hair. She smiled and said, "I look right, but my face is too thin and I don't have a blessing."
Gu Han sighed: "Your mouth is getting more and more coincidental, but I can't be happy when I hear it."
Taohong put her cross bun on her face and put on her nodded face, "What do you think Madam?"
“It looks pretty good.”
Taohong has good skills, and her hair makes her look very dignified and generous.
Gu Han got up and went to find the dark-colored wool. She had a big belly and it would look more obvious when wearing a light-colored one.
After everything was done, Gu Han held Taohong's hand and went to Guihuayuan to find Wang.
On the way, she asked, "Did you leave anything when the Third Young Master went to the yamen?"
Taolu thought for a while, "…The Third Young Master said that today I will let my servants guard the young lady without leaving the steps."
Gu Han didn't say anything, it was like Zhang Juling's usual style.
He was worried about himself.
She arrived at the Osmanthus Garden and happened to meet Wang who was about to go out.
After a few gossips, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talked a few words and left the Zhang Mansion together.
The sedan chair was prepared, and it was a warm sedan chair covered with curtains around it, carried by four people.
Wang and Gu Han were respectively in the warm sedan chair, with girls and women gathered around, and more than a dozen other guards leading the way.
The group walked towards Shengyuan Hutong in a mighty manner.
It took about an hour to stop the warm sedan chair and stop leaving.
Gu Han heard Taohong's voice: "Young lady, we're here."
Then the curtain of the sedan chair was lifted, and the light appeared in front of him.
Gu Han got out of the sedan chair and looked up and saw the open, round red vermilion door. There was an ebony plaque hanging on the top, with three large characters carved on it - Prince Yu's Mansion.
Two majestic stone lions lie on both sides of the gate.
Very majestic and spectacular.
There are traffic in front of the door and it is very lively.
Wang took a few steps forward and showed the invitation in his hand. Immediately, a decently dressed girl invited them in.
The Yu Palace is very large in scale and has a particular layout, and there are dedicated people to take care of every mountain and water.
