Chapter 309 The Ground Is Paved with Gold

Although she had to leave her parents, what Niu Niu was thinking was that this was not because her parents had abandoned her, but because the whole family had no choice.

After the little girl thought about this clearly, she acted very considerately.

But the more well-behaved and considerate she was, the more distressed Gu Mingda and Zhang Yunniang felt.

At this time, Niu Niu racked her brains to comfort the uncomfortable family members, and said: "I haven't been to the palace yet, and I don't know if it is like they said, even the ground is paved with gold!"

Gu Mingda was the first to calm down. Compared with the discomfort of his daughter entering the palace, the most important thing now is to teach her how to protect herself.

"Don't rush into places where you can't go. Say less and do less. The palace is not like your own home. There are strict rules. If you do something wrong, just tell the Queen Mother honestly..."

Gu Mingda was talking, but his words were not as sharp as before. He almost hit his head here and there with a hammer, telling his daughter whatever came to his mind, for fear of missing something.

In this way, the other Gu family members gradually recovered, but this night seemed destined to be a sleepless night.

After Liu Xiaoru was so anxious that she walked around the room, she said: "Money! You must bring enough money! They say that money can make the world go round, and it is said that people in the palace are also blind to money!"

Zhang Yunniang thought of something and asked, "Shopkeeper Luo's cousin, how is she doing in the palace now?"

Liu Xiaoru shook her head and said: "The Luo family only knows that she was named a beauty, but she was not very favored. The imperial concubine and her family are still the only ones in the palace."

Zhang Yunniang had also met shopkeeper Luo's cousin before, and she was surprised when she heard this: "Luo Mei is so beautiful, but she is not favored?"

Luo Meiren entered the palace not long ago, she is very good-looking and very young. Logically speaking, the emperor is at his most fresh, so why does his words now seem to indicate that he has fallen out of favor.

Liu Xiaoru sighed after hearing this and said: "The palace is strictly forbidden, and the news inside is not very easy to spread. I only vaguely heard that it seemed that Concubine Li violated her taboo, so the emperor gradually ignored her."

Zhang Yuniang burst into tears when she heard this. If such a breathtakingly beautiful woman were not in the palace, she would be held in the palm of her hand and cherished by any man she married. It is a pity that she went to that place where no one can see her. .

Zhang Yunniang originally thought of taking the path of shopkeeper Luo and asking Luo Meiren to take care of Niuniu. Seeing that Luo Meiren seemed to be in trouble, she had no choice but to give up this idea.

Liu Xiaoru called Qi Dashan and his wife to accompany her out.

"Where are you going so late?" Zhang Yunniang was puzzled.

Liu Xiaoru replied: "I don't have enough money on me, I'll ask someone to borrow it!"

Who else could she find, it was naturally her fiancé.

Zhang Yunniang didn't like to owe people money, but after hearing this, she didn't stop her. She just wanted to use the dividends from the marinade workshop to pay back in the future, and just pay more interest.

Compared with the older people who were as anxious as ants on a hot pot, Niu Niu was still thinking about playing: "I have to leave home tomorrow. I originally agreed with Brother Changfeng to go to the Beast Garden tomorrow. It's a pity."

She didn't even need to send someone to the Duke Xian's Mansion to greet Qin Jingshu, because her good friend was also on the palace list.

The little girls on the palace list are all between six and ten years old. They are younger than six years old, because they are not sensible and it is more troublesome to take care of them.

As for those older than ten years old, it is easy for the outside world to misunderstand and think that they are entering the palace as concubines.

The child will enter the palace the next day, and the entire Gu family is busy. According to the eunuch who announced the previous decree, once the child enters the palace, he will not come out until at least the end of the month.

However, the royal family seems to be aware of the mistake and has repeatedly promised that it will not delay the children's learning. The palace has hired a master to teach the children piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

According to the eunuch who passed the order, they will be trained according to the standards of a princess.

The lights were on in the Gu family's house for most of the night, and they had been packing Niu Niu's luggage. Even after spending so much effort, the couple still felt that the preparations were not complete enough, and they always felt as if they had missed something.

Niuniu was young and was coaxed to sleep early.

At this time, with the dim light, the couple sat by the bed and looked at the little girl sleeping soundly on the bed.

"When this child was brought home the year before last, he was as thin as a kitten. He finally managed to gain some flesh on his face, but he has to leave us again..." Zhang Yuniang said softly.

Gu Mingda patted his wife's shoulder comfortingly and said, "Niuniu has a special constitution. Maybe after staying in the palace for less than a month, the queen will be pregnant, and she will be sent out at that time."

Zhang Yunniang sighed: "Your Majesty has not had a son or a daughter for so many years. Who can say for sure about this kind of thing? It's not that easy."

Gu Mingda saw his wife sad, and felt uncomfortable himself.

"Although Niuniu is an adopted child, I don't know why, but I always feel as if she should be my daughter." Gu Mingda tried to divert his wife's attention.

But Zhang Yuniang said: "This child is lovable. Not only do you think so, but her godfather and godmother also think so. Even Xiaoru treats Niuniu as her own daughter."

Gu Mingda patted his wife on the shoulder and said, "She is a lovable person. Maybe the queen in the palace will be like others and really love this child."

Zhang Yunniang smiled bitterly and said, "I hope so."

Zhang Yuniang stretched out her hand and gently covered her daughter with the quilt. She carefully looked at her daughter's sleeping face for a long time. Then, under her husband's persuasion, she lay down next to her daughter and tossed around for a long time before falling asleep.

Little did Niu Niu know that her parents were so worried that they couldn't sleep well all night, but the little girl still had a good night's sleep.

"Mom, I can dress myself, I don't need your help." Niu Niu softly stopped her mother from helping her dress.

Zhang Yunniang's eyes turned red, and then she said: "You are going to enter the palace soon, and mother wants to accompany you more."

After she said this, Niu Niu naturally had no reason to refuse, but after putting on her clothes, the little girl pressed her face tightly against her mother again.

"Mom, you will always be my best mother."

Zhang Yunniang's nose was sour when she heard this, and she turned her head away, not letting her daughter see the tears that burst out of her eyes.

Zhang Yunniang not only helped her daughter dress, but also helped her daughter wash, and she looked like she would never see her daughter again after entering the palace this time.

Niu Niu always cooperated with her mother obediently. The little girl used her silent actions to comfort her mother who still couldn't accept the fact after a night of psychological construction.

There was another person who couldn't accept this matter either.

The crazy girl was waiting in the yard early in the morning. Her eyes were red at this time, and a big package was placed beside her.

"Sister Shuying, didn't you sleep all night? Your eyes look so red, and your complexion looks bad!" Niuniu said with concern.

The crazy girl and Zhang Yunniang had the same crying expression on their faces.

She cried and said, "Why do you want to go to that damn place again? What's so good about that place? That stinky man didn't protect you all the time! You are a clean person, why do you have to go to the palace and get contaminated by dust?"
