Chapter 976 The Gu Family Now
Although Tian is the daughter of a butcher and has been used to working since she was a child, she is pregnant and has to carry a large basin of clothes, which makes walking very difficult.
"Baoxing." Yun Dai said.
Baoxing nodded, stepped forward quickly, and took the big wooden basin from Tian's hand.
A man suddenly appeared in front of Tian's eyes. She was startled and looked up to see Yun Dai.
She was a little dazed.
The woman in front of her was wearing a light and soft skirt and a jeweled butterfly hairpin. She had a beautiful face and a pure temperament.
Although she has given birth to three children, she still looks no different from a boudoir girl. On the contrary, she has added a bit of splendor and nobility.
Tian lowered his head and looked at himself, feeling ashamed of himself.
She is almost the same age as this sister-in-law who lives in the royal family, but she looks like a woman in her thirties or forties, and she looks like a person a generation apart.
She wiped her hands on her apron and knelt down to salute with some restraint.
"A commoner's wife has met the Queen."
"Get up." Yun Dai said, "You are inconvenient, so you don't need to salute."
Mrs. Tian straightened up and held the corner of her apron with both hands. She felt uneasy and didn't know why the Queen had suddenly arrived.
Since the last incident, the Gu family has completely transformed from a noble class to a commoner class.
Relatives and friends who came from before were also completely missing.
Gu family, no guests have come to the door for a long time.
Yun Dai walked in, looked at the ruined courtyard, and asked, "Why are you alone?"
Tian said hurriedly: "Father is in his study. My husband is teaching in a private school and will come back in the afternoon. Yu An is sleeping. The peasant woman is taking advantage of this time to wash some clothes."
"It turns out there are still a few old servants waiting for you? Are they even gone?"
"There are a few loyal people who are willing to stay, but the family is really unable to support us. The money my husband-in-law earns is only enough for the few of us to eat. Fortunately, my aunt is helping me... My husband-in-law made the decision and dismissed all the old servants. "Tian Shi said nonchalantly.
Yun Dai nodded: "Since Gu Chengan is not at home, please take me to see Gu Hongmiao."
Mrs. Tian hurriedly said: "Queen, please follow the civilian woman this way."
Yun Dai and the others followed Tian to Gu Hongmiao's study.
As soon as I walked in, I smelled the strong smell of alcohol.
Tian frowned.
She was pregnant, so the smell was unavoidable and uncomfortable.
Yun Dai said: "You go take care of the child."
Tian thanked him gratefully and turned around.
But she was still thinking about it, wondering why the Queen had come.
It's certainly no small matter.
Otherwise, there would be no need for the Queen to make a trip in person.
She returned to her room, hugged Yu An, who was still awake, and waited outside the study.
Yun Dai stood at the door and did not go in.
The strong smell of alcohol filled the room, making people dizzy.
Baoxing walked in and saw that the study was in a mess, with torn papers everywhere and pen and ink thrown on the floor.
He turned around and found Gu Hongmiao buried in a pile of books.
He was holding a wine bottle and pouring wine into his mouth.
"Gu Hongmiao!" Baoxing stretched out his hand to pull him out and brought him up to Yun Dai.
Gu Hongmiao was like a puddle of mud, paralyzed on the ground, holding the wine bottle, mumbling with drunken eyes, no one could hear what he was saying.
Seeing Gu Hongmiao like this, Yun Dai didn't know what to say.
In the past, Gu Hongmiao cared about face the most, and he was well-dressed. In addition, he was elegant, so in terms of appearance, he was very decent.
