Chapter 365
"Since this Di Long has a weak brain, why does he still take it with him every time he goes out?" Gu Fuyun asked Chu Rui.

Because such a single-minded person really shouldn't be brought with him as a guard.The words are also very poignant. Chu Rui, a person who is used to being aloof, can still be so tolerant, and there must be something unique about him.

Chu Rui said: "He has an advantage that others can't have. That is, this kid has a bit of luck. In the past, when Xiao Liu was in charge, I often encountered plots, but as long as Di Long was by my side, I could save myself from danger every time. Before When I was the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, as long as Dillon was with me, everything would be fine, and the job was very easy. As long as he was not with him, six out of ten times, he would encounter an assassin."

Gu Fuyun was dumbfounded: "Born with a lucky star?"

Chu Rui laughed and said: "It should be, maybe it also has a certain psychological effect. Take the last time at the Great Buddha Temple, the emperor was assassinated, and thanks to Di Long's side, there are so many assassins, all of whom are highly skilled in martial arts, far more than the ones I brought. People and horses. But with Di Lon around, the danger was saved."

Gu Fuyun hurriedly said: "Then you should take him with you when you go out in the future. Regardless of whether it's psychological or not, as a mascot, it will be my peace of mind."

Chu Rui nodded.

……

The days were so busy, and in the blink of an eye, it was the twenty-eighth day of the Lunar New Year, and all the people in the Duke's Mansion went out to have a reunion banquet at the house of Zongfang Yi's old man in Yushu Hutong.

According to the rules of the Chu clan, every year on this day, all members of the Chu clan have to have a reunion banquet in the clan house.And worship the ancestors under the leadership of the clan house.

For every clan, the year-end ancestor worship is a great event.Even a person like Tian who has been weak and sick all year round has to appear in the ancestral hall with his sick body.As a daughter-in-law, she has to arrange the offerings, set up the incense table, and clean the ancestral tablets by herself.

Although the direct branch has a title, money and power, it still has to respect the clan house, not only to listen to the clan house's orders, but also to take the lead.Therefore, the lineage of the direct branch was not only dispatched collectively, but even came first.

Gu Fuyun is a bride, so she has to roll up her sleeves and work.Together with Tian, ​​Aunt Yong, Aunt Qiang, Aunt Gang, Aunt Qian, Ding, and other daughters-in-law in the house, they arranged the sacrifices and wiped the utensils used for ancestor worship.

Gu Fuyun is a junior, so he can only clean up the sacrificial utensils together with Qian Shi and others, while chatting and joking with his sister-in-law, while looking at Si Shi.

Tian's complexion was as sallow as before, his body still smelled of ginger, and he seemed weak when he spoke.

Everyone knows that Tian's health is not good, and it is not good for her to do heavy work, but let her sit at the altar and clean the utensils.

Because of doubts, Gu Fuyun looked at Tian Shi all the time, and Tian Shi noticed something strange, so he asked: "Daughter-in-law, is there something wrong with my face?"

Gu Fuyun quickly withdrew his gaze and said with a smile, "No, it's the body of Fourth Aunt, which is really worrying."

Tian laughed at herself: "It's just an old problem of having children."

Gu Fuyun didn't take it seriously. Although it was indeed dangerous for women in ancient times to have children, it would be a hell of a journey, but because of giving birth, they would fall into the root of the disease, which is too nonsense. It's okay to lie to others, but it's impossible to lie to her, a doctor.She believes that if a woman does not sit properly during confinement, she will suffer from confinement disease.But it is impossible to get rid of the root cause of the disease after having a child.

So Gu Fuyun said strangely: "I've heard that the root cause of a woman's disease will be caused if she doesn't sit well during the confinement period after giving birth."

Tian smiled weakly: "Having a baby will also cause the root cause of the disease. The husband said that I am weak and weak. This can only be treated with medicine. It is impossible to get rid of the root."

Gu Fuyun looked sympathetic: "The fourth aunt has to take care of herself." Suddenly pointing at her table, she shouted, "Ah, there are snakes!"

Tian Shi was startled, immediately jumped up from the stool, and ran away neatly.

The other daughter-in-laws were also taken aback, and later found that Tian's feet were just a grass rope.

Gu Fuyun also found out that he had made an oolong, so he quickly smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry, my eyesight is blurred, I was bitten by a snake before, and I've been afraid of grass ropes for ten years."

Everyone didn't doubt it, after all, the rope was lying there, if you don't look carefully, it really looks like a snake.

Tian patted his chest and sat down weakly, and said: "Daughter-in-law, you scared me to death this time."

Gu Fuyun apologized again.

When the time came, Mrs. Yi led a large group of people from all ethnic groups, and packed the large five-door ancestral hall to the brim. Some young people could only kneel outside the building.

After offering sacrifices to the ancestors, Mrs. Yi, the head of the clan, led Mrs. Cheng, Mrs. Xu, Mrs. Qing and other elders of the clan. Mrs. Chu, the sixth aunt, the seventh grandmother and others sat in front of the hall, and the younger generations lined up in a long queue. , Qiqi kowtowed to the elders.Several elders threw the little silver bull made of silver from the basket in front of them to the children.

Next, there are meals and entertainment.Men and women sit at separate tables, separated by a screen. They eat and drink while listening to operas, and they don't leave until midnight.

On the next day, on the twenty-ninth day of the Lunar New Year, Chu Rui received the New Year gifts from various households in the outer courtyard. For dinner, he entertained the staff of the Duke’s Mansion, households, and various small families attached to the Chu family, subordinates, and Female dependents.

On the day of New Year's Eve, Mrs. Chu and Gu Fuyun had to put on heavy makeup and enter the palace to worship.When I got home, it was already time to apply, and the family of the Chu family had a banquet... At night, I had to stay up late to watch the new year.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the family had to enter the palace again. The emperor brought all the civil and military officials, and relatives of the emperor to participate in the Taimiao sacrifice, while the women worshiped the queen in the harem to congratulate the new year.

The crown prince has already decided that after paying homage to the empress, he has to go to the East Palace to kowtow to congratulate the princess.

The Crown Princess Yin has been married into the East Palace for two months, and she has gradually adapted to the life in the palace. Every word, every action, every action is graceful, luxurious, dignified and generous.

"The imperial palace really raises people. Look at our princess, how long has it been since she entered the palace? She has become more and more energetic. Look at her demeanor, she is really a god among gods." Someone took the lead in flattering , and the rest of the wives also followed suit.

It is true that the princess was not outstanding in her boudoir period. She looked ordinary, with a square face, wide lips and single eyelids, not the oval or oval face that is popular nowadays, but this appearance, after the baptism of time, has three points of temperament and five points of dressing An awe-inspiring and inviolable sacred majesty, but also a unique charm.

Gu Fuyun propped his chin with both hands, and carefully looked at Yin Moli. Not to mention, compared with when he was in the boudoir, her skin has become better, and her temperament has also undergone earth-shaking changes.

Seeing Gu Fuyun staring intently at the Crown Princess, someone joked: "County Master Anhe is so obsessed with seeing the Crown Princess."

Everyone could think of Gu Fuyun's poem "The sunset glow and the breeze know me best, Fairy Zhaozhao came to the moon", and they laughed along with them.

The princess also thought of the situation when she first met Gu Fuyun. When she was at the lowest point in her life and felt helpless, it was Gu Fuyun who rectified her name and repelled the rumors.Under her publicity, outsiders stopped criticizing her appearance, and even called it "beautiful personality".After she became the crown princess, Gu Wu did not publicize the friendship between them, and never even made any requests.

In the main hall, the most blatant people who fawned on her, it must be hard for outsiders to believe that this group of people had stepped on her the most fiercely before.How could she have the nerve to curry favor with herself after she became a princess?

With this group of people for comparison, Gu Wu's low-key made the Crown Princess like him even more.

……

Although she and the princess are best friends, Gu Fuyun is still very self-aware and keeps a proper distance in front of people.In order not to make people look sour, and then do something.

After the banquet, the Crown Princess summoned Gu Fuyun privately, and couldn't help complaining, "I've been in the palace for two months, and you haven't even come to see me."

Gu Fuyun yelled wronged: "I want to enter the palace even in my dreams, but you know the situation of my family. I am a bride, and I have to be a housekeeper as soon as I enter the house. Such a big business in the Duke's Mansion has to be on my shoulders." , I'm really exhausted."

The princess didn't believe it: "I've heard that you are very strong in the Chu family. Other brides are keeping a low profile and being cautious, but you have established your foothold and presided over the ceremony."

Gu Fuyun said: "That's all outsiders' exaggeration. In fact, I was very panicked inside. Outsiders see my appearance, but in fact they are walking on eggshells."

"Don't be modest. Before Mrs. Chu's birthday banquet, people all over the imperial capital praised you for your impressive performance. After the banquet, you didn't even have a single strand of hair messed up, which shows your ability."

Gu Fuyun said embarrassingly: "That's because I found a helper."

"As a bride, you can find someone to help you, and they are willing to help you. That's your ability." The princess looked at Gu Fuyun, with her rosy skin, bright almond eyes, and always smiling lips. Cherry red lips, this is a very delicate face.Probably due to the fact that he is in charge of Zhongfu, all the jewelry and clothes are dignified and generous.Squirrel fur inlaid with opals on the forehead, hair pulled high, Danyang spreads its wings and hangs a large hairpin, ginger yellow long jacket with gray sable fur collar painted with rich and dark patterns, collar and cuffs are drawn with colorful borders with woven gold thread , the lower body is orange-red painted with folded branches of plum blossoms and inlaid with gold silk beads, and the skirt is covered with a pattern of brocade pheasants strung with gold thread. During the movement, the golden light flashes and shines brightly.Then he asked with a smile, "Your embroidering skills on this skirt are really good. Is it made by the embroiderer of the Duke's mansion, or by the garment workshop?"

Gu Fuyun looked down at the gold and silver embroidery patterns used on the skirt. Each pair of lotus flowers was inlaid with pearls. After arranging things casually, she said with a smile: "It was made by the embroiderer of the Duke's Mansion." She thought It was too extravagant. It took the four embroiderers half a month to make such a set of clothes, and the cost cost thousands of taels of silver. It was too extravagant.

The Crown Princess praised: "It's really good-looking, and it looks much more majestic than when it was a girl. The Duke's Mansion really supports people." It also proves that the Chu family is really good to Gu Wu, otherwise they wouldn't be able to raise such a good skin.

Knowing that Gu Wu is in charge of the family now, the new year will not be too easy, and the Crown Princess did not keep her for too long, and rewarded her with a basket of gifts to bring back to the Chu family.

The day of the second day of junior high school is the day when I go back to my mother's house.In the third day of junior high school, the government hosted banquets, and in the fourth day of junior high school, they began to visit families.It didn't stop until the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar.

No wonder the Chinese New Year is called "New Year's Pass". This Chinese New Year is really not for human beings.It's no wonder that women's diseases in ancient times were listed as the seven crimes, and now she finally understands.Dare to love every year and holidays, it all depends on women to take care of it.When the mistress of the family suffers from a serious illness and cannot participate in the sacrifice, this is a great disrespect to the ancestors, and she cannot take care of the housework. It is an unforgivable sin for a large family to greet and send her off.

The Tian family is lucky, neither the clan wife nor the eldest daughter-in-law, so she doesn't need to be a housekeeper, her condition just happens to be able to participate in the sacrifice, and there is still a certain distance from the serious disease, and Mrs. Chu is generous, so there is such a thing Blessing.

These days, Gu Fuyun eats banquets every day. Even though he has delicacies from mountains and seas, his appetite is so good that he has to stop eating after eating for a whole month.So much so that after I stopped eating banquets, I ate millet porridge with pickles at home for three days to get rid of the greasiness all over my body.

After I really calmed down, I started to clear up all kinds of expenses for the New Year.

For a top family like the Chu family, the New Year's expenses are naturally quite huge, but the Chu family is prosperous and there are many people who burn the stove.The amount received was much higher than the amount sent out. After half a day of liquidation, it was suddenly discovered that the public warehouse had increased by a full [-]%.

Previously, Zhang Youcheng's family stole a lot of things from the warehouse and went out to sell them. They even bought two large houses outside, and bought thousands of acres of fertile land and three large shops. The family lived a decent and wealthy life outside. .

Gu Fuyun asked Chu Rui to deal with the family.

Chu Rui was naturally not polite, and immediately ordered the whole family to be beaten to death.

Gu Fuyun felt that it would be too cruel to directly beat him to death, if he was beaten up, he would be sold far away, so why bother to kill someone?

But Chu Rui said: "If you make such a big mistake, shouldn't you be killed?"

"But after all, it's more than ten lives." Gu Fuyun couldn't bear it.

"They are all slaves, death is not a pity." It was the first time that Chu Rui showed a cruel and powerful face in front of Gu Fuyun,

"You're being kind now, aren't you afraid that they won't bear their grudges and will take revenge on us?"

"This..." Gu Fuyun stopped talking.

The fate of Zhang Youcheng's family is extremely powerful. Although Gu Fuyun, the hostess, has been busy during the New Year this year, all the stewards have worked hard to show off, and the servants did not dare to cheat. Got a full range of operations.

Even the three sisters of Chu Yu were taken out to dinner by Gu Fuyun, and they also received excellent training, and their dealing with people and affairs also improved significantly.

But Chu Yu also has the habit of time-traveling women, that is, no matter where she goes, she always wants to show off.The noble ladies are reciting poems, and they obviously don't know how to compose poems, so they have to take part in it. Naturally, they are plagiarizing the poems of the ancients.But her plagiarism did not have any technical content. The poems she plagiarized were either wrong or unsuitable. Not only did she fail to become famous in the first battle, but was rejected by the ladies.

The noble girls were painting, and she was also very skilled. She painted ink and wash paintings, but was despised by others as a three-year-old child.

When others play chess, she has to point and brush her presence.
