When this happened, Zhu Zhongjun said goodbye to the Empress Dowager the next day and wanted to leave the palace.

This time, the Queen Mother did not try to keep them again.

The Empress Dowager reflected that she was indeed too fond of Zhu Zhongjun's children.

This favor made King Jin feel jealous.

If this continues, it will add to resentment.

The Empress Dowager decided to alienate Zhu Zhongjun's family.

The child's jealousy is uncovered and expressed; while the jealousy of others may be hidden deep in the heart and not revealed.

****

These days, Gu Jinzhi's discomfort in the early stages of pregnancy has slowly faded.

She has some morning sickness every morning, but it does not affect her condition throughout the day.

She is very energetic.

Zhu Zhongjun sent a letter to Luzhou and asked Chen Dingwen to lead people north.

Chen Dingwen kept stopping day and night, and rushed to the capital.

On the first day of the second month, Chen Dingwen arrived.

In addition to asking him to arrange the defense of other museums, Zhu Zhongjun also gave him an important task: to teach children to practice martial arts.

In this way, Yanshan and Yanying have something to do, so they won’t bother Gu Jinzhi every day, and Gu Jinzhi will have time to take care of the baby.

Gu Jinzhi was very satisfied with this arrangement.

She spent almost every day with her mother when the children were not around.

Song Pan'er also refused all social engagements and stayed with Gu Jin all day long.

On the third day of the second month, it is a good day for travel.

Gu Xiuzhi set off today and returned to Yanling Mansion.

The day before leaving, Gu Jinzhi gave him a thousand taels of silver bill as Cheng Yi. He also gave him a letter of recommendation, which was written by the famous scholar Cheng Surong.

Cheng Surong once won three consecutive years and has a very high reputation among scholars.

Sanyuan refers to the first place in the provincial examination, the imperial examination and the palace examination.

This is a top genius that has only been produced in hundreds of years.

With his recommendation book, Gu Xiuyi traveled south and visited many famous scholars to increase his reputation and fame, and also learn some experience.

Gu Xiuzhi happily accepted the recommendation letter, but refused to ask Cheng Yi. He said, "Dad and mother have given enough silver, so Sister Qi doesn't have to spend money."

"My parents belong to parents. Sister Qi belongs to sister Qi." Gu Jinzhi smiled, "Besides, Sister Qi is not short of this money. Don't put on a broad range along the way, but don't save when it's time to eat and live in a comfortable place."

Gu Xiuzhi refused again and again.

Song Pan'er said from the side: "...You take what your seventh sister gave you. On the way, you have to get some gifts to come to your door. You need money everywhere. Besides, when you return to Yanling Mansion, go

Look at Aunt Hong and buy some gifts to go there."

Gu Xiuzhi looked at Song Paner in disbelief.

He was not sure whether Song Paner was lies or was sincere.

He secretly looked up and glanced at Song Paner.

Song Paner had a little smile on his face.

Gu Xiu's way is.

Then he kowtowed to Song Pan'er.

Brother Xiu was about to leave Beijing, and Song Pan'er asked him to go to his uncle and second uncle and talk to him.

My second uncle didn't say anything, just told him to be safe all the way.

The uncle asked: "If you don't study at home, why are you going to Yanling Mansion?"

My uncle also said that those who came from a career in the officialdom valued study more seriously. However, among the descendants of the family, none of them loved to study, including his son. Only Gu Xiuzhi was fine, and he was willing to take studying as his responsibility.

My uncle has never spoken to Gu Xiuzhi. He doesn't want Gu Xiuzhi to be proud and complacent, but he pays great attention to this nephew.

Now I heard that he was going to travel far, I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

"... My nephew remembered that a gentleman had established himself, read thousands of books, and traveled thousands of miles, so he wanted to travel south, visit famous scholars in the south of the Yangtze River, and give guidance to educate and guide him." Gu Xiuzhi said respectfully.

After hearing this, my uncle didn't say anything for a long time.

He did not agree with Gu Xiuzhi's behavior.

But Gu Xiuzhi's words also make some sense.

After a while, the uncle said coldly: "Since that's the case, go."

Gu Xiuzhi could also find out his uncle's dissatisfaction.

He was a little disappointed and went home.

By the third day of the second month, Gu Xiuzhi's luggage had been collected. Song Pan'er sent him a little old manager who had seen the world, and sent two clever servants to take care of Gu Xiuzhi along the way.

Gu Yanzhen and Xuan Ge'er sent Gu Xiuzhi all the way to Tongzhou.

****

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Xiao Shi and Xiao Siyi's husband have already arrived at the mansion to attend the hall. The two brothers have to get up early every day to study, and they are also in the outer courtyard for lunch, so they can eat with their husband. The father and Brother Xuan sent Gu Xiuzhi to him but did not return.

Song Paner was a little lonely.

Gu Jinzhi accompanied her.

During this period, someone also visited Song Paner.

Song Pan'er is not arrogant either, and almost everyone will meet him.

She also went out to visit other people.

Gu Jinzhi can take the time to go home to see the children.

But most of the time, Song Pan'er was at home and took care of Yan Shao for Gu Jinzhi.

Song Pan'er also often reads the almanac.

There is no good day in February, so when she gets engaged to Brother Xuan, it will be as early as March.

Gu Jinzhi said something, but he didn't know how to speak several times.

Seeing that her mother was no longer so harsh to Gu Xiuzhi and had a much gentle personality, she wondered if she could tell her about Brother Xuan.

The girl from Cai that Brother Xuan liked was already married. The one she got engaged was a juren from Jiangnan. The student's surname was Fang and named Yuli. He was born in a prominent family in Zhejiang. He has been famous since childhood, and he is

Jie Yuan of Zhejiang Provincial Examination.

Enko was not banned before, and Fang Yuyan was the student with the highest call for the top scorer this year.

Many powerful families have won him over before he has won the top scorer.

Somehow, he fell in love with Cai Lian.

The Cai family has no title, and someone once served as a third-rank official, who was considered lonely among the nobles in the capital.

Cai Yanneng stood out among the crowd and was attracted by Fang Yuxi. Gu Jinzhi thought that she must be a beautiful woman.

And she was so bold and contacted Brother Xuan for so many years but had not been discovered. She should be smart and capable.

I don’t know if she had heard that Brother Xuan was going to talk to the Zou family and then changed her mind, or if she had always chosen Brother Xuan as a spare tire.

As Xuan Ge'er's sister, Gu Jinzhi would rather be the first one.

Brother Xuan didn't know.

Neither the Cai family nor Fang Yulin made a big announcement about this matter, and they were probably waiting for the palace examination to be released before mentioning it. In this way, the title of the golden list and the wedding banquet is an excellent gimmick.

Not many people know about it now, Gu Jinzhi’s third sister-in-law knows it.

So, last time Gu Jinzhi asked her, she said she had no cousin and was unmarried.

And Brother Xuan, he definitely doesn't know.

He must have been full of confidence in Cai Lian. He thought that no one could disperse his affection since childhood. He thought that Cai Lian would definitely be loyal to him.

Now that the spring examination is banned, I heard that the Cai family will marry Cai Yan in June.

This matter will be said sooner or later.

"Mom, what if Brother Xuan doesn't like the girl from the Zou family? What should I do?" Gu Jinzhi said again. She remembered this question and asked her mother once.

Her mother's answer was the same as last time: "What does Brother Xuan understand? The relationship between husband and wife is slowly getting along..."

Gu Jinzhi smiled.

My mother is already actively looking for someone to match.

And Cai Lianling's marriage cannot be changed.
To be continued...
