Chapter 1207 Closeness

My aunt was busy preparing to enter the palace to thank her.

At the same time, the Gu family brothers and Yun Wu also received gifts sent by Yun Dai.

Naturally, Yun Wu is only happy.

Gu Chengan's emotions were a bit complicated.

This time, in addition to the festive gifts sent by the queen, the emperor also received many Mid-Autumn gifts.

The emperor's gifts are usually given to ministers who are close to the royal family or have meritorious service.

But the Gu family only received rewards from the queen, not from the emperor.

Gu Chengan was not unhappy.

For him, the Queen's reward was a surprise.

But there were only rewards from the queen, but not from the emperor. This only showed that the royal family still did not regard the Gu family as relatives. It also shows that the rewards given by the Queen are not based on family ties.

It was because he and Chengning were stewards of the glass workshop.

To put it bluntly, the Queen regards them as subordinates, not brothers.

It's different at Hou Mansion and Yun Wu.

Not only did they receive mooncake boxes from the Queen, but they also received food boxes from the Emperor.

Comparing the two, the closeness and distance can be seen at a glance.

Gu Chengan looked at the mooncake box and felt uncomfortable.

With her belly full, Mrs. Sun broke the moon cakes into pieces and fed them to Xiao An. She said, "Speaking of it, my husband is the Queen's biological brother, and we have a closer relationship than anyone else. But now, he is no better than a stranger." Where to go."

Gu Chengan said nothing.

This is all his own fault. He didn't take care of his sister when he was a child. When he grew up, he bullied her even more and never looked good to her.

When she was driven away, she didn't ask to help.

If you were someone else, it would be fine if you weren't an enemy.

The Queen finally gave the Gu family a way to survive.

There is nothing else to say except regret, guilt and gratitude.

Gu Chengning walked over waving his hands, picked up a piece of mooncake, took a bite, and raised his eyebrows: "Our queen is amazing. They say that Xinghualou's dim sum is the best in Kyoto. In my opinion, it is far worse than the queen's. ”

"Who says otherwise?" Mrs. Sun said with a smile, "The Queen is really smart and capable. If nothing else, just this glass business, if it continues like this, it will be incredible."

Gu Chengning bit into the mooncake and said vaguely: "Thanks to the Queen, we can have a good year this year."

They managed the workshops and shops and made Yun Dai a lot of money, so Yun Dai would not treat them badly.

The wages given to them are very generous, and there will be a certain commission based on the amount of glass sold.

Nowadays, there is no need to worry about food and clothing at home.

Mrs. Sun stroked her belly and said with a smile: "Before, I was really afraid that the child would be hungry and unable to feed him. Now it's better. I'm thinking about hiring a wet nurse."

Gu Chengning said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, even if I hire two more, my brother will earn much more now than when he was an official."

"He was unhappy in every possible way at first." Mrs. Sun glared at her husband.

Gu Chengan ignored her words and said, "After you finish eating, go back to the house and take care of yourself. I will go to the palace early tomorrow morning to thank you and discuss the workshop with the queen."

"What are you busy with? I'll put the child to sleep and then clean up."

Sun struggled to stand up while holding Anhao.

The only maid in the family quickly took it over.

Anhao is almost one year old. One leg is fine, but the other leg cannot stand up straight. Children her age are learning to walk, but she can only rely on crutches her whole life.
