The husband who forced her to marry her couldn't keep her warm, and she didn't want him to

He You stood beside the green-curtained carriage and lifted the curtain for his master. He felt that the Fifth Master was in a good mood today.

It should be said that ever since his wife came into the family, the Fifth Master has been in a good mood every day when he comes out of Yuanyuan Hall.

In the food box was the breakfast that Gu Jinchu had ordered the small kitchen to prepare.

Every morning there is a different soup cooked in a different way. The quantity is not much, but it is enough to soothe the body and mind on a cold morning.

Master Jiang Wu looked at He You and Jiang Fei beside him and said, "When you get married, your wife will prepare meals for you."

These words made He You feel a little uncomfortable, but he couldn't show it.

His wedding with Bai Zhi was originally scheduled for the sixth day of the first lunar month, but after the death of the late emperor, the wedding had to be postponed, otherwise tonight should have been his wedding night.

In Yuanyuan Hall, Gu Jinchu and the maids were also talking about this matter.

Although Bai Zhi and He You's marriage was scheduled hastily, the preparations did not require much effort.

She had previously given the Gao family a house, and at the end of the year they had already cleaned it up and hung up red lanterns, creating the atmosphere of marrying off their daughter.

Gu Jinchu gave Bai Zhi two hundred taels of dowry, and Gao De and his mother prepared twenty loads of dowry for her, which had already been sent to He You's private courtyard in the mansion.

This was the grace given by Fifth Master Jiang after he knew that He You was getting married. It was unique among the stewards in the mansion.

All preparations were made, but the emperor passed away suddenly, so they had to wait until a hundred days later to find a good day to hold the wedding.

Gu Jinchu was not affected at all when he saw Bai Zhi. He smiled and said, "By then, you will no longer be Sister Bai Zhi in their mouths. You will belong to the He family."

Bai Zhi smiled indifferently, "I have not left Yuanyuan Hall and am still serving Madam."

Bai He and Bai Tao stood together, looking at Sister Bai Zhi with envy.

Mr. He Youhe is one of the most trusted people around Master Wu.

Sister Baizhi married Mr. He. As a couple, one worked for the Fifth Master, while the other served the Madam personally. They went home together at night. It was the maids' dream life.

Mother Cheng looked at Bai Shao who was silent, and was about to say something, but when she saw the lady gently shaking her head at her, she changed her words and said:

"Bai Zhi and Mr. He's engagement was kept secret. If the maids in the mansion knew about it, they would be very envious."

He also wanted to tell Bai Shao that she was already past the age for marriage, and if she delayed any longer she would become an old maid, and people would gossip about the lady behind her back.

Bai Shao held the dried fish and teased Dou Bao, who was lazing in the sun, and said with a smile, "I swore in front of Madam Zheng and Madam Zheng that I would stay by their side and serve them forever."

Although Bai Shao is a chatterbox, she is the most loyal. She is the prettiest girl around Gu Jinchu, but also the most stubborn one.

In the future, bring the two little girls Baihe and Baitao out and let them be housekeepers like Baizhi, which will integrate their relationship as master and servant.

At this time, Mother Xu walked in with an envelope in her hand and handed it to Gu Jinchu to read.

It was written to her by Wan'er.

Wan'er followed her elder brother to the border, and the letter was all about the local customs and practices.

Looking at the date at the end of the letter, it has been more than half a month since Waner sent this letter.

The previous emperor passed away and the new emperor ascended the throne. Wan'er should have arrived in Shengjing City by now.

They probably have a chance to meet each other.

She stuffed the unfinished letter into an envelope and placed it on the table in front of her.

Gu Jinchu suddenly thought of something and stood there in a daze.

The death of the late emperor had caused her recent days to be a bit chaotic, so she had forgotten that today was the day her mother had an accident in her previous life.

I don't know if it's a psychological effect, but I became a little flustered. I couldn't help but think of the indescribable grief I felt after losing my mother in my previous life.

Bai Zhi saw that Madam's face suddenly turned pale, so she quickly walked to her side and asked softly, "Madam, are you feeling unwell?"

Gu Jinchu didn't want to scare herself, so she raised her hand and let Bai Shao help her stand up. She then gave the order, "Go get the carriage, let's go to the Qin family!"

The Qin family is the house that my mother bought in Daxing after she married Qin Lang.

Bai Zhi murmured in agreement and then asked, "Madam, do you want to inform the Fifth Master? He You said that Jiang An is not at home today."

Gu Jinchu thought about it. It was only half an hour’s drive from Gu’an to Daxing. If everything went well, she would be able to come back after lunch.

The new emperor ascends the throne today, and the entire Shengjing city is on high alert. No one will do anything at this critical juncture.

......

In the 20th year of Jianyuan, Zhao Yu, the third son of Emperor Jianyuan Zhao Houde, ascended the throne.

Emperor Jianming Zhao Yu changed the reign title to Jinghe.

As soon as the reign title was announced on the imperial edict, the civil and military officials kneeling below, as well as the princes who had rushed back from far away places, looked at each other in surprise.

Everyone knows that the new emperor Jianming grew up in the Huguo Temple since childhood, so this reign title is a bit... too uncontested.

After the chief eunuch Huang Tong finished reading the edict of accession to the throne of Emperor Jianming, he read out the empress dowager's decree.

One was the imperial decree granting marriage to Princess Yongle and Zheng Kaicheng. Because the decision was made when the previous emperor was alive, the wedding date could be chosen a hundred days later.

The second imperial decree was that Imperial Noble Consort Chen decided to become a nun to pray for the late emperor and the new emperor.

Chen Hang and Chen Zhengde were shocked when they heard this, especially Chen Hang, who felt humiliated at being toyed with by his eldest daughter.

So when he came out of the palace gate, he looked at the newly appointed Minister of War Zheng Wenyang who was being escorted forward in front of him, and the anger in his chest was about to burst out.

The Chen family placed all their hopes on Noble Consort Chen in the palace, but unexpectedly she gave up all her splendor and became a nun.

Fortunately, the third master of the Chen family, Chen Zhengde, successfully entered the cabinet.

Master Wu Jiang bowed slightly, his eyes closely following the figures of Zheng Wenyang, Minister Zheng, and Jinyiwei Qin Lang.

Watching the horses galloping away from them until they disappeared from his sight, Master Jiang Wu slowly withdrew his gaze.

Jiang Fei came over and put the fur cloak on his master, "Fifth Master, where are we going?"

Master Jiang Wu stood beside the carriage and said slowly, "Send the Second Prince to where he should go."
