Chapter 997: I Don’t Want to Kneel

No one came from my uncle and aunt's house this time.

My uncle managed the official salt business for Gu Zhang. Now that Gu Zhang is the Marquis of Changping, it is not easy for him to do business in person, so the official salt business was given to my uncle to manage.

With half of the profit a year, there are still 10,000 or 20,000 silver coins.

My uncle-in-law and his two sons are in charge of the sea vessels, and they also get half of the profit per trip.

Now several families have bought houses in Ping'an City, and all the officials in Ping'an City are respectful to them.

This is the family.

When one person succeeds, all the family members will rise to heaven.

The reason why the old lady went to Beijing this time was that she heard that Xiao Yu ascended the throne and Gu Fei became the queen.

The old lady thought about it for a few days at home. She had never seen what the palace looked like in her life. Now that her granddaughter became the queen, she should be able to go into the palace to take a look.

It is not in vain to be able to see the palace and walk around in it in this life.

The old lady was clamoring to go to Beijing at home, and Gu Zhong had no choice. Fortunately, the rent from the land had been collected, so he took the old lady to the capital.

When Qian heard about it, she also clamored to come.

Enter the palace, broaden your horizons, and brag to others when you go back.

Gu Zhong had no choice but to take them along.

The old lady was satisfied after putting on her golden hairpin, and was supported by two maids as she trembled out of the door.

Li Chunhua looked at the old lady's back and thought secretly that when she fled from famine, she looked like she would collapse at any time, but she walked thousands of miles and nothing happened.

It seemed that a few years had passed, and the old lady was still the same.

She was in great health.

The family got on the carriage and went to the palace.

The old lady sat in the carriage and stretched her neck to look out.

This capital is different from Jiangnan, everything seems to be one size bigger.

Qian's neck stretched longer than the old lady's, and she kept clicking her tongue as she looked.

The carriage stopped at the palace gate, and the maid helped the old lady get off.

The old lady looked up at the high palace wall, and a sense of oppression came over her.

Chen showed the token to enter the palace to the guards, and then the group entered the palace gate.

Lian'er was waiting at the palace gate with a little palace maid. She came forward to pay her respects and took everyone to the Qianqing Palace.

In the palace, except for the imperial garden, there were very few flowers, plants and trees.

It is said that this was to prevent assassins from hiding inside.

The old lady looked around and felt that except for the house being a little taller and bigger, there seemed to be nothing special, and it didn't look as exquisite and beautiful as the Marquis' Mansion.

It took more than a quarter of an hour to walk to the Qianqing Palace.

The old lady was a little out of breath.

Gu Fei sat in the hall, smiling as everyone came in from the door.

Chen bowed her head and knelt on the ground first.

When Gu Zhong saw this from behind, he was so flustered that he knelt down in a flash, as fast as a gust of wind.

Just as Gu Fei was about to ask everyone to excuse themselves, she saw the old lady standing there blankly, looking around, and seemed to have no intention of kneeling down.

Gu Fei was amused by the old lady's expression and forgot to say excuse themselves for a moment.

Gu Zhong saw that everyone had knelt down, only the old lady was still standing, and he hurriedly pulled his mother's clothes.

The old lady was reluctant to kneel on the ground.

Gu Fei smiled and said, "No need to be polite, everyone stand up."

"Look."

The old lady stood up as soon as she bent her knees, and whispered to Gu Zhong, "Why do I have to kneel? I am the grandmother of the queen."

Gu Zhong lowered his head and moved his lips slightly, "Mother, this is the queen, how can I not kneel."

Gu Fei had sharp ears and heard what the two said, but she didn't say anything, just smiled.

Although she didn't like her grandmother, there was no need to embarrass an old country woman.

It was boring.
