"Grandma." The girl walked towards Mrs. Gu with a smile on her face, her voice was as sweet as the first cry of an oriole.

"Sister Kuang, why are you back so early?" Mrs. Gu's complexion turned from gloomy to clear, she looked at Gu Yunkuang with a smile, and the aura around her became softer.

Gu Yunchuan was sent to the capital by Su Niang when she was a few months old. Mrs. Gu personally named her and raised her personally, watching her grow from a pink and jade-like baby who was babbling to a bright-eyed girl.

White teeth, a graceful cardamom girl.

They have had a true relationship with each other for more than ten years. She loves Gu Yunchun, and Gu Yunchun is the most filial to her.

In comparison, that girl is just a stranger and has no relationship with the Hou Mansion at all. She is so noisy, maybe she has a grudge against the Hou Mansion!

A sinister look flashed across Mrs. Gu's eyes.

Gu Yunzhuang walked to Mrs. Gu and sat down, took her arm affectionately, and said coquettishly: "I miss my grandmother."

Mrs. Gu seemed to have been fed a mouthful of honey. She felt extremely at ease and asked lovingly: "Is the flower banquet at Prince Jing's Mansion fun?"

When she talked about Prince Jing's Mansion, Mrs. Gu smiled so much that wrinkles appeared at the corners of her eyes.

Since the death of the eldest son, the position of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion in the court has been a bit awkward, with no one in charge. The late emperor was somewhat cold to the Gu family. The royal family in Beijing has always been powerful and has rarely given any favor to the Gu family in recent years.

Half a month ago, when Gu Yunkuang said that Princess Changqing of Prince Jing's Palace invited her to attend the chrysanthemum appreciation banquet, Mrs. Gu was overjoyed. Princess Changqing's chrysanthemum appreciation banquet has been held for three consecutive years. Those who are qualified to attend the banquet

All the gentlemen and girls came from noble and powerful families.

"It's fun. My pot of 'Phoenix Zhenyu' was selected as the second choice for today's flower banquet." Gu Yunkuang nodded with a smile, with a smile as bright as a flower, and stretched out his hand to show Mrs. Gu the jade bracelet on her wrist, "This bracelet was given to me by the princess.

Grandma, am I good at winning prizes?"

"It's amazing. Our sister Kuang has a sharp eye for pearls. Grandma will reward you with a jade pendant." Mrs. Gu reached out and tapped Gu Yunkuang's nose, smiling from ear to ear.

Mrs. Gu also knew the origin of Gu Yunchuan's pot of "Phoenix Zhenyu". This pot of chrysanthemums was accidentally picked up by Gu Yunchuan by a flower farmer who was in trouble in the suburbs last month.

Gu Yunkuang has been kind-hearted and lucky since he was a child.

When she was seven years old, she picked up a masterpiece from a down-and-out scholar who sold off his property;

When she was nine years old, she dug up a two-hundred-year-old ginseng plant during an outing and brought Mrs. Gu, who was seriously ill, back from the gate of hell;

When she was thirteen years old, she went to Qinglian Temple to offer incense and accidentally saved the injured King Kang. King Kang fell in love with her from then on.

There are countless such incidents.

Mrs. Gu once took Gu Yunchun to Bailong Temple to seek approval from the presiding master. The presiding master said that her fate was extremely precious.

"I'm not looking for a reward from my grandmother." Gu Yunkuang tilted his head and smiled sweetly, "Next time the chrysanthemum I raise beats His Highness Prince Kang, grandma, you can reward me again."

"His Royal Highness Prince Kang is also here?" Mrs. Gu's eyebrows moved, and the smile on her face deepened.

"Yes, it was the prince who sent me back." Gu Yunkuang nodded, his eyes moving and moving, "Grandma, the prince recently got a few cans of high-grade Longjing. I heard that my grandmother likes to drink tea, so I asked me to bring a can to my grandmother.

"

Gu Yunchuan's maid quickly presented a cloisonné enamel Three Gentlemen tea jar.

"Your Majesty is interested." Mrs. Gu sighed happily, her mind racing: Prince Kang is sincere to Gu Yunkuang, there is no doubt about this, the problem is the Queen Mother.

If he wanted to pass the test of the Queen Mother, Gu Yunchun had to cut off his relationship with Fang Mingfeng as soon as possible.

"Aunt Xu, you're back." Gu Yunchuan looked at Aunt Xu who was kneeling on the ground, as if he had just noticed her existence, and said with surprise and concern, "Is the second sister also back?

?”

Only then did Nanny Xu raise her head and respectfully replied: "Go back to Third Miss, Second Miss is still in Danyang City."

Facing Gu Yunchuang's puzzled look, Nanny Xu continued to explain: "Third girl, you don't know, the second girl is really outrageous..."

Aunt Xu kept talking about Gu Yanfei's misdeeds.

Mrs. Gu's expression darkened again, and anyone could see that she was very unhappy about this.

"Grandma, the second sister has had a hard time since she was a child. She came all the way from Huaibei to a place she is not familiar with, so she is inevitably uneasy." Gu Yunchuang comforted Mrs. Gu in a good voice and leaned against her affectionately.

On her shoulder, she said, "Grandma, you are always kind to us juniors. Don't argue with your second sister."

"Okay. Grandma, why don't I go to Danyang City to pick up my second sister?"

Gu Yunzhuang suggested thoughtfully. Both his tone and his sweet and obedient smile made people feel indescribably comfortable.

Mrs. Gu's face softened slightly after Gu Yunkuang's few words. She patted the back of her hand kindly, but still shook her head and objected: "No. In two days, don't you have to go to Huangjue Temple with Princess Changqing to offer incense?"

?”

Mrs. Gu weighed the pros and cons and quickly made a decision in her mind.

She sighed and said in a deep voice: "That's all. I think the second girl is full of grievances and her children and grandchildren are all debts. It's better for me, an old bone, to take care of it myself."

"Grandma..." Gu Yunchun wanted to say something else, but Mrs. Gu raised her hand to interrupt her.

"Sister Kuang, grandma knows that you are filial." Mrs. Gu touched her head and said, "Okay, just do as I say. You stay in the capital and I will ask your eldest sister to accompany me."

"..." Nanny Xu was stunned and pinched her thigh. The pain told her that this was not a dream: the madam actually agreed to the second girl's rude request!

Mrs. Gu would naturally not be careless when traveling. The servants of Cihetang hurriedly packed their bags and were busy all night.

Early the next morning, the carriage from Dingyuan Houfu left the capital and headed south along the official road.

Walking and resting along the way, it took four days to reach Danyang City.

"Tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk..."

"Old Li, please open the door quickly, Madam is here!"

A rough lady knocked on the door heavily, and the bronze door knocker made the door vibrate.

Old Li Tou responded and ran to open the door. At the same time, he sent a little maid to go to the inner courtyard to report to Gu Yanfei.

Mrs. Gu in the carriage closed her eyes and slowly twisted the beads in her hand.

It was quiet inside the carriage, but the street outside the carriage was quite lively. In addition to the vendors setting up stalls and shouting on the street, there were also passers-by passing by from time to time.

"The government officials are here to patrol again. Let's go another way." Not far away, a rough and mature male voice shouted, his tone full of resentment.

Immediately afterwards, another younger male voice spoke: "I don't know what happened in the past two days. The government officers were patrolling everywhere, and they even checked at the city gate. I was blocked at the city gate for almost an hour before I came in."

Their voices were particularly loud, and Mrs. Gu in the carriage could hear them clearly.

She waved to Nanny Xu and said, "Go and find out what happened in the city."
