Changxing Hou Mansion.

As soon as Gu Jingxi returned home, he went to Shou'an Hall to pay his respects to his old mother. Mother and son had not seen each other for nearly three months, and her mother must have missed him very much.

Mrs. Gu received the news this morning that her son was back, but she went to the palace to meet the saint again early in the morning. She didn't care. Business was important, so it didn't hurt that mother and son met later.

In the Buddhist hall, sandalwood scent lingers.

Mrs. Gu was knocking the wooden fish with one hand, gently moving the rosary beads with the other hand, and reciting scriptures in her mouth.

Aunt Feng quickly stepped in and reported, "Old madam, the Marquis is here."

Hearing this, Mrs. Gu stopped knocking on the wooden fish and turned to look at Nanny Feng: "He is back from the palace?"

Aunt Feng nodded: "Exactly, I have invited the Marquis to wait in the hall."

After hearing this, Mrs. Gu smiled and said, "I'll be there right away." After saying that, she stood up, left the Buddhist hall with Aunt Feng, and went to the hall to see her son.

After entering the hall, Mrs. Gu looked towards her son. At this time, his son also stood up. She looked carefully. She had not seen him for nearly three months, but there was no change in his son. He just looked a little tired. It seemed that he was tired from traveling on the road. Yes, it was not easy when I was in Hangzhou.

Gu Jingxi stepped forward and saluted: "My son wants to say hello to my mother. How is your mother lately?"

Mrs. Gu nodded gently and smiled lovingly: "I'm fine. A-Yao is a filial child. Look at the clothes I'm wearing. That child A-Yao made them for me. I told her not to do these things before, so as not to I was tired, but I couldn't bear the filial piety of this child, so she made me two more sets. Not to mention these clothes, even the shoes and socks I wear now were made by her. When I go out to meet those old ladies, they are so cute. I envy that I have a filial daughter-in-law."

Hearing this, Gu Jingxi looked at his mother's clothes, and the smile on his face grew stronger. When he was not at home, his mother and A-Yao's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law got along very well. He said warmly: "A-Yao is filial to you, just accept it." .”

Mrs. Gu replied: "I'm just worried that she'll be tired. She's still pregnant. But luckily she didn't have any reaction during the pregnancy. The doctor also said the fetus is fine when checking the pulse." She said, and then said, "Stop standing. , let’s sit down and talk first.”

Gu Jingxi responded, took two steps forward, helped his old mother to sit at the top, and he sat at the bottom of her.

Mrs. Gu asked with concern: "Yao Ling, did you encounter any trouble when you were in Hangzhou?"

"No." Gu Jingxi responded without hesitation, "Everything goes well, mother doesn't have to worry."

Hearing this, Mrs. Gu glared at him: "You always report good news but not bad news. Even if the sky falls, you will tell me that nothing happened. You must ensure that you are safe no matter what. , you are not alone now, you also have Ayao and the child who need your care. If anything happens to you, I, a person who has only half stepped into the loess, will not be able to take care of you for a long time. "

Gu Jingxi comforted him in a warm voice: "Don't worry, mother, don't you understand your son? He always does things in a measured way and will not put himself in danger."

Mrs. Gu disapproved and said, "I don't think so. You can scare me out of my wits when you don't have any sense."

Gu Jingxi choked and coughed twice to relieve the embarrassment: "Mom, this is all in the past. I used to be young and frivolous, but now at this age, how can I act so carelessly?"

Mrs. Gu glared at her son again. Her son had been smart since he was a child. He was a favorite student of his husband. He learned everything quickly, but there were also troublesome times. He often secretly went out with friends, drank and raced, and even went deep into the forest. She was very courageous in hunting. When she found out that her son disappeared in the forest, she was frightened to death.

As a result, she and her husband were scared to death and went to look for Yao Ling themselves. When they found Yao Ling, Yao Ling ran towards them covered in blood and said that she was not lost and was just hunting a black bear. Then she went deeper and finally returned. They actually discovered a black bear, fought with it, and hunted a black bear. The blood was also from a black bear. Her son said it easily, but she and her husband were horrified to hear it.

After returning home, she and her husband severely punished their careless son. The son then calmed down. They say that like father, like son, and she doesn’t know if her grandson will be like this in the future.

Mrs. Gu asked: "What is the specific purpose of the Emperor sending you to Hangzhou this time? I asked you before, but you didn't say anything. Now that the matter has been resolved, you should be able to tell me, right?"

Gu Jingxi replied: "The governor of Zhejiang has been corrupt and accepted bribes, and many of his officials are also involved."

Mrs. Gu was surprised: "Governor of Zhejiang, isn't that Han Jin, the uncle of the Duke of Zhenguo?"

Gu Jingxi nodded lightly: "Exactly, the Han family is going to fall this time. When the emperor sent me to Hangzhou Mansion, he had already made up his mind to attack the Han family."

Hearing this, Mrs. Gu sighed softly. The Gu family has a relationship with the Han family. The father of the current Zhen Guogong is friends with her husband. The old Duke is very good, but his son is not so good and his behavior is a bit... Arrogant, otherwise Yao Ling would also have contact with the current Lord Zhen Guo. Now Han Jin, the most promising person in the Han family, is like this, and the Han family will completely collapse.

Mrs. Gu said: "Yao Ling, in educating future generations, ability is secondary and character is primary. In this way, even if you are mediocre, you will not bring down the family."

Gu Jingxi replied: "Don't worry, mother, my son understands."

Mrs. Gu suddenly remembered something and asked lovingly: "By the way, Yao Ling, do you have enough money?"

Gu Jingxi was confused: "???"

Does he look like someone who is short of money? They have been mother and son for thirty years. Doesn't the mother still understand him?

Mrs. Gu was afraid that he would be embarrassed, so she continued: "My mother has saved a lot of money over the years. Your grandfather and grandmother also gave me a generous dowry back then. If you are short of money, just tell your mother that there is no need." Be polite to mother."

Gu Jingxi shook his head: "Mother, my son is not short of money. He usually has nothing to spend money on, and he still has private property. How can he be short of money?"

After hearing what her son said, Mrs. Gu believed it. In the past two months of raising a daughter-in-law, she had experienced what it meant to spend money like water, but she spent the money happily and it was worth it.

Even though Gu Jingxi said that there was no shortage of money, when he left, Mrs. Gu still thrust the banknotes she had prepared in advance into his hand without refusal, and said, "Mother knows that you have enough money to spend, but this is my mother's money." It’s given, you don’t need to spend money, then spend it on A Yao and the child.”

Gu Jingxi couldn't refuse, so he had to accept it. After leaving Shou'an Hall, he was still a little confused. Ever since he was a child, his mother never tried to give him money. She always taught him not to be extravagant and wasteful, but to be frugal. He was not a prodigal, so The monthly routine is enough for his expenses.

Now that he has grown up, he not only has private property, but also has rewards from the emperor for meritorious services. His family is rich, and his mother gave him ten thousand taels. What is the reason for this?

His mother always loved him, but this time her love made him a little confused.
