Chapter 461 The Female Supporting Character Who Was Reborn as a Female Cannon Fodder 6
Sheng Huan knew that Gu was worried about her, so she didn't stop her.
After giving the order, Gu remembered something and said, "Just now, mother went to Jinglan Garden. Your grandmother asked mother to bring back some bird's nests. Mother also has blood bird's nests. If you want to drink it, ask the kitchen to make it for you."
Gu didn't care about a little blood swallow. She was from a wealthy family. If her fiancé hadn't died and others thought she was unlucky, she wouldn't have married Minister Gu as his second wife.
"Thank you, mother." Sheng Huan remembered something and was a little curious: "Mother, my two sisters are under house arrest. Tomorrow's snow-viewing banquet..."
Gu smiled softly and stroked her daughter's hair, her eyes cold and expressionless: "They are all under house arrest by your father, so they can't go."

Jinglan Garden.
After Gu left, Gu Yuexi couldn't wait to walk into the inner room. She looked at the old lady hesitantly.
"Grandma, did mother agree to talk to father?"
The old lady looked at Gu Yuexi and said in a heavy voice, "Yuexi, tell grandma the truth. You must go to the Snow Viewing Banquet tomorrow. Are you going to see Wang Yeling?"
When Gu Yuexi heard the name, he was startled and couldn't help but feel resentful again.
The old lady didn't hear her and was in a headache, thinking that was it: "Yuexi, Wang Yeling is not a good match for you, why are you still so stubborn! Listen to grandma and don't go out tomorrow!"
Hearing this, Gu Yuexi finally came back to his senses from his suppressed thoughts.
"No, Grandma, I don't like Wang Yeling, and my going to the Snow Viewing Banquet has nothing to do with him!"
"Grandma, I must leave the house tomorrow."
The old lady didn't believe it, and felt that her granddaughter was becoming more and more crazy for Wang Yeling, so she made the final decision.
"Well, if you don't go tomorrow, grandma will believe you."

Yesterday's snowfall made the capital even colder, and the howling wind made people's faces hurt. However, as the year draws to a close, the capital is not less lively because of the cold.
There were many vendors on the street, and lanterns with various patterns were hung up before it got dark.
"Miss Ji Le, the busy market is ahead and the carriage cannot go in." The coachman who was doing shopping in the mansion tightened the reins.
"I'll get off right now." Ji Le was glad that she was wearing thick clothes. Besides, she didn't want to sit in the carriage all the time, otherwise she would not be able to meet anyone who needed help.
Ji Le believed in gods and Buddhas very much, and also believed that doing good deeds would be rewarded. Therefore, she walked slowly along the way. When she met ragged beggars begging, she would give them a few coins and also helped a few children who fell down due to playing.
With such a Majesty at the foot of the capital, the city is naturally prosperous.
Finally, when he turned a corner, Ji Le saw a person squatting on the ground with his head down in front of him. The person's posture was a little bit wrong.
At the foot of the capital, the New Year is approaching and the guards are patrolling, but Jilan is not afraid.
"Sir, are you feeling unwell?"
Pei Jin, who was squatting on the ground with stomach discomfort, subconsciously looked up. His face was pale and cold sweat was still coming out of his forehead.
Ji Le was shocked when he saw this: "You look very bad. I will take you to the clinic right now."
Pei Jin nodded with difficulty: "Thank you, Miss."
Neither of them noticed that some white fluff was flying around Ji Le's body and even fell on Pei Jin.
In the clinic, Pei Jin looked better after taking the medicine.
The doctor said, "My dear, you have caught a cold. If you wait any longer, it will be serious. Fortunately, you came in time."
Pei Jin nodded repeatedly, turned around and bowed to Ji Le: "Thank you for saving me, young lady. I will return the silver to you right away. Pei Jin will remember your kindness today."
"No need." Ji Le hurriedly shook her head, and solemnly said in her heart that if she wanted to thank someone, she should thank her young lady. The Buddha would bless her young lady to get well soon, so she said: "If you want to thank someone, thank my young lady. If it weren't for my young lady, I wouldn't have saved you today, and the silver also belongs to my young lady."

evening.
Ji Le came back with Tinglanji's pastries. She looked very happy. She waited in the outer room to shake off the snow on her body, and then roasted the fire for a while before going into the inner room.
"Miss, I'm back. Tinglanji has released new walnut cookies today. Many people bought them, so I bought some."
Jilan brought the plate over, and Ji Le put the food on the plate and brought it over.
Sheng Huan smiled at the two maids, picked up a piece of walnut cake and ate it: "It tastes good."
Of course, what’s even better is that Ji Le really met Pei Jin.
Ji Le couldn't help but laugh as well: "Miss, I helped a lot of people today. I gave a few coins to a few beggars, helped a child who fell down, and I also met a scholar who caught a cold. I also sent him to the clinic."
"Well done."
In the original novel, Pei Jin fainted on the roadside due to a cold. Now he has taken medicine and taken measures in advance. Even if he still has to go out for something tomorrow, he should not faint.
Moreover, Sheng Huan thought to himself, he didn't know what method the heroine would use to go out if she couldn't leave the house.

Linfeng Garden was exceptionally quiet at night, with a few candles flickering. Gu was sitting at the table wearing a cloak, looking at something.
"Runiang, why aren't you asleep yet?"
Minister Gu strode in. He was the Minister of Justice and was very busy. He had to deal with an important matter tonight, so he was a little angry and came back very late.
"The master is back." Gu quickly stood up and stepped forward.
Minister Gu came over.
After a while, they both lay on the bed.
Gu couldn't help but confide in her husband: "Master, I went to see Tang'er today and found that she was still very weak and her hands were very cold. Later, I learned from the maid that Tang'er's feet were also very cold when she slept at night, and several hot water bottles didn't help much."
She buried her head in Minister Gu's arms: "Master, I'm scared..."
She only has this one daughter, and her suffering is undoubtedly tearing her heart out. The New Year is almost here, and she is afraid that her daughter will not have a good time this year.
Minister Gu patted Gu on the back and said, "I asked the imperial physician in the palace today, and he said that if a woman has a cold body, she can soak in a hot spring to recuperate."
Gu's eyes lit up: "I have a farm in the suburbs of Beijing that has a hot spring. In a few days, when Tang'er has recovered, I will take her there."
Gu said that the girl was almost recovered and was talking about her daughter's daily life.
Minister Gu nodded, thinking of something, and said, "Tang'er has reached the age of marriage, and Ru Niang can look at the candidate privately. Although there is no need to rush, it is right to look at the candidate in advance, so that your husband can also observe it privately."
"That's what the master said."

Imperial Palace, Qianyuan Hall.
The man threw the sword with one hand, and it easily pierced into the pillar, breaking it into pieces.
The eunuch who just came in from outside had sweat on his forehead: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager sent someone to invite you to have dinner tonight."
The emperor's eyes were calm and unmoved, and he uttered two words lightly.
"Don't go."
He was not interested in listening to the Empress Dowager's theory on marrying a wife. The Empress Dowager was too idle, so he had to find something for her to do.
What's more, he hadn't left the palace for a long time and was planning to go out and practice some skills. The palace was too boring.
