"I didn't look at the people who sent them, it seems that they have taken everything. Qing Glaze looked outside the door for a while, then turned around and said to Gu Anning, who was sitting in front of the table and practicing calligraphy.

Gu Anning nodded without raising his head.

But Qing Glaze felt strange before, and couldn't help but speak at the moment. "Aunt Xu has always been the master of soft and hard, usually give a gift, you send it with the front foot, and she will send someone back with the back foot, if it is not so, how can the dowry of the seven girls be used by Aunt Xu herself, but this time it is different. ”

The eldest lady of the north courtyard is not ignorant of this matter, according to the rules, the girls who did not enter the main courtyard, the main mother has never raised a dowry, and more than half of the good thoughts have been given face, and the thoughts are not good and harsh, and it will be hasty to prepare some that is not presentable, otherwise why do those aunts sharpen their heads and want to go to the main mother, not all for the sake of the children to start a family in the future.

Gu Anning couldn't help but chuckle when she heard this, took the finished rice paper aside, and looked up at the green glaze.

On the contrary, the laughing green glaze was a little puzzled, and only after half a sound did he hear his own girl say unhurriedly.

"How can I say that Aunt Xu's maiden family is an official in Beichuan, and as a concubine, the Gu family is concubine, and the mother's family came a few days in advance just to see how the dowry is, but it is related to the importance of the mother's family in the future. "If the girl who marries out often goes to her mother's house to send some autumn breezes, her days will be forgotten for a long time.

If this is the case, wouldn't there be no support in her husband's family, and without the support of her mother's family, her life would be as good as she was back then.

Having said this, Qing Glaze also understood, after all, she had never served in front of her aunts when she was an errand in this mansion, although she was smart, she couldn't think through anything if she didn't listen to humanity.

As he was talking, Qingyuan ran in with a big grin, bringing a gust of wind to Gu Anning's face, and even the corner of the rice paper touched the pen and ink.

Gu Anning didn't raise his eyebrows and glanced at her.

"On weekdays, the frizzy ones have said that you have said you several times, but last time I didn't punish you, and I lost my memory. "Even if you are used to the maid in the yard, you can't do this, and if you go down more and more, you will hurt yourself in the future.

Qingyuan hurriedly took a step back. "The slave knows what is wrong. With that, he handed the letter over. And then he said. "It's a letter from the Jiang family!"

Gu Anning took the letter and opened it to take a look, the letter mentioned that the old lady of the Jiang family would be 60th birthday this year, and asked her to take this opportunity to live in the Jiang family for a few days, in addition to this, it also pointed out the preferences of the old lady Jiang on weekdays.

The old lady of the Jiang family celebrated her sixtieth birthday. It was at the end of July, so there was still a month to come!

"Girl, does this letter say something important?" Qing Glaze leaned over and took a look, then saw the word "Dashou", and patted his head at the moment. "How did the slave and maid forget this? A few days ago, I heard Miao Lin mention this, and I wanted to tell the girl, but I didn't know why I forgot it. ”

"It's not too late to remember. ”

The old lady of the Jiang family likes to taste tea and play chess on weekdays, and the so-called tea is the king of tea, but Gu Anning has never liked to drink tea, but loves to drink flower tea.

Thinking of this, I felt a little difficult in my heart, tea art is not a sidedoor, but it is also what those young masters should learn, learn how to behave from tea, this is what the tea master taught. And the woman. It is broad but not proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but it does not have any contact with such a manly way of learning.

Not to mention the calligraphy and painting of qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, Gu Anning is not very good at drawing, and the handwriting is quite beautiful, this qinqi does not understand the rhythm at all and has never played chess with others.

After thinking about it, he immediately said to the green glaze. "Go to the treasury and bring the chess pieces and chessboard, and let Qingzhu make a pot of good tea, remember not to use flower tea. ”

Hearing this, Qingglaze and Qingyuan are not rubbing. The one who went to get the chessboard chess pieces went to the warehouse, and the one who went to ask Qingzhu to make tea went to the kitchen.

When the matter was ready, Gu Anning took a seat with the green glaze. "You play against me, and today you will explain to me how to play this chess. I'll figure out the rest. ”

Qing glaze nodded, the letter just glanced at it and naturally didn't look at it, and now seeing that the girl suddenly had a whim, she was also a rare chess player, and then said. "Black and white alternately to besiege and defend. He said. Placed black and white on the board.

Gu Anning looked at it seriously and wrote down the words one by one.

Qingzhu made tea and put it on the low table aside, and a fresh fragrance of tea wafted out, although Gu Anning didn't like to drink tea, it was not that he hadn't drunk it.

But the taste of tea, she has always felt faintly bitter, although the smell is fragrant and pleasant, but the bitter taste in the mouth can not be concealed, only bitter, it is better to drink flower tea.

After playing chess all afternoon, I drank tea and went to the toilet several times, and listened to Qingzhu explain the origin of some tea, as well as how it tasted, and listened to Qingxiang talk about the realm of chess.

The whole afternoon passed, and people seemed a little dizzy.

"Mrs. Jiang is really versatile, she can play chess and enjoy tea, and I am afraid that I will not be able to cope with it now. Gu Anning said and quickly stood up, walked a few steps, and then felt that the numbness in his legs eased a little.

"It turns out that the girl is learning these things today to go to the Jiang family to celebrate her birthday!" said Qing Glaze with a smile. "This old lady Jiang's chess game is strange, two or three years ago, the slave maid was fortunate to go to the Jiang family with the second lady, and the old lady of the Jiang family played chess with the old lady Yang and flipped the chessboard in a hurry. ”

As soon as he said this, Qing Glaze couldn't help but laugh. "Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Jiang have been in-laws for many years, and the two of them must play chess whenever they see each other, but the one who loses every time will definitely turn the plate. ”

Hearing this, Gu Anning couldn't help laughing, but he didn't expect that the old lady Yang who he saw that day would have such a thing.

"Therefore, no matter whether the girl can play chess or not, as long as she does her best, Mrs. Jiang is not a harsh person. Gu Anning, who said this, stabilized his mind.

When the night was approaching, people also put away the chessboard but did not take it to the warehouse, thinking that they would have to learn to play chess these days.

As for tasting tea, she still gave up, drinking tea is a state of mind, and she can't drink more tea in her heart now, so it's better to be as simple as it is true.

On the seventh day of the seventh month, it is the day when the seven girls get married, and this day is indeed meaningful, and the day is also set by the Yuan family, the mother of the Chen family in Yaocheng.

The Yuan family was quite satisfied with the seventh girl, and after hearing that the ninth girl was going to the eldest young master of the Jiang family, her heart was sour for many days. I thought that these nine girls were all divorced by her Chen family, why did Mrs. Yang go to propose marriage in person.

After thinking about it, the ninth girl is a person from the Southern Courtyard, and the Gu Jiang family is the Gu family that the Jiang family's concubine married, and it is understandable to set people to their own mother's family. (To be continued.) )
