Chapter 011: It's up to you
"Sister-in-law, I received a letter from my eldest brother a few days ago, and he will be back soon?"
Yang Qing said as she winked at Gu Jialuo, her eyes full of banter of 'The lover is back, Gao is not happy'. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Glad? Gu Jialuo can be happy to have a ghost.
At first, Gu Jialuo didn't understand the meaning of Yang Qing's words, and muttered that Yang Qing's brother returned to Beijing and had a relationship with him, why did Yang Qing come to tell her?
But soon Gu Jialuo noticed the ** and banter in Yang Qing's tone, and coo~~ Gu Jialuo swallowed a mouthful of foam with difficulty, and couldn't help but have a weird idea in his mind, oh my God, it's not what she guessed, right?
Yang Qing saw that Gu Jialuo didn't react, and she didn't think much about it, just thought she was happy. Others don't know, but Yang Qing knows very well Gu Jialuo's 'love' for his eldest brother.
She looked left and right, and the little maids in Chunhui Hall were coming and going, and it was not a good place to talk. Especially when it comes to intimate topics, it's safer to find a more hidden place.
"Sister-in-law, I heard that you have some new good spices, and I want to learn how to blend with you, you see-"
Yang Qing grabbed Gu Jialuo's arm and made a naughty face at her, with a look of 'you know and I know'.
Gu Jialuo just wanted to confirm the guess in his heart, followed Yang Qing's words, and said with a smile: "Speaking of spices, I just mixed a new fragrance, if Sister Qing doesn't dislike it, come with me to enjoy and enjoy." ”
"Don't dislike, don't dislike, the fragrance of the eldest cousin has always been excellent, I'm not afraid of my cousin's jokes, I've been looking forward to my cousin's return for a long time."
Yang Qing's words were quite against her will, although Gu Jialuo's milk name was called 'Xiang'er', and he was not good at blending incense.
And the crossing woman was even more impatient to toss these incense powder rouge, although the Gu family's boudoir was taught by a special female gentleman, 'Gu Jialuo' didn't learn much.
On the contrary, Yao Xiruo, who learned a lot from Mr. Woman, also has some experience in perfumery.
At that time, 'Gu Jialuo' and Yao Xiruo were good sisters, so the incense pills used in 'Gu Jialuo' were all made by Yao Xiruo himself.
Gu Jialuo also used these incense pills to pit Yao Xiruo a little.
But he was willing to listen to good words, Gu Jialuo accepted Yang Qing's compliments with a smile, and the two sisters-in-law went to the Agarwood Courtyard with a smile.
"Cousin-in-law, let me tell you, my eldest brother may not leave the capital this time."
As soon as he entered the West Room, Gu Jialuo sent the left and right maids out, and Yang Qing said impatiently.
"Not leaving? Oh yes, the cousin of the Yang family is going to study in Beijing! ”
Gu Jialuo tried hard to think about it, her predecessor didn't have much memory of Yang Qing's eldest brother Yang Min, she only knew that Yang Min was the eldest son of Qi Ling, the only daughter of the eldest princess.
When the eldest princess gave birth to Qi Ling, she was already in her thirties, and she and Qi Keng and her husband and wife both doted on this daughter very much.
After Qi Ling's concubine grew up, the eldest princess almost took a microscope to carefully observe the noble son of the family in Beijing, and finally picked Yang Mingyi, the second son of Yang Yannian, a cabinet scholar.
The Yang family is a scholarly family in Shandong, with strict family rules, and the children and grandchildren in the family are all motivated to study. Yang Mingyi has the name of 'prodigy', he was admitted to Xiucai at the age of twelve, he is handsome and elegant, he is a good boy with both talent and appearance, and was once praised as 'Little Yulang', and is often compared with Gu Jialuo's amazing Uncle Feng.
However, this is not the main reason why the eldest princess chose Yang Mingyi, what makes the eldest princess most excited is the family rules of the Yang family: a man can only take a concubine if he has no children at forty!
I want her to be safe, the dignity of a princess, and there is an Aunt Qin at home, not to mention Qi Ling.
Qi Lingfei is not a noble daughter of the clan, if she marries into a family with no rules, won't she suffer a lot of grievances?
Okay, it's Yang Mingyi!
The eldest princess fell in love with her son-in-law, so she hurriedly looked for someone to deliver a message to the Yang family.
Yang Yannian is a scholar, but he is not sour and dull. Come to think of it, the Yang family can be inherited for hundreds of years, and the family history is longer than the history of Daqi, and it must have its own uniqueness.
At that time, the eldest princess was the most noble princess in Daqi, and there was no one. Qi Keng is the Marquis of Pingxi who holds the power of the army, and Qi Ling, as their only daughter, is worth a lot.
Yang Yannian weighed it and felt that it was a good choice to marry the Qi family.
In this way, Qi Ling's concubine and the queen married into the Yang family. After marriage, the young couple was very sweet, and gave birth to a son and two daughters one after another, namely the eldest daughter Yang Zhao, the eldest son Yang Min and the second daughter Yang Qing.
The only regret is that the eldest princess is on the wrong side in the battle between the princes, and the current emperor Xiao Ye ascends the throne, and the eldest princess is disgusted by the new monarch, and even her son loses the title of Marquis of Pingxi. Yang Mingyi's career was even more blocked.
Until a few years ago, the sage's resentment towards the eldest princess and others had diminished a little with the passage of time, and the Yang family had a timely operation, and finally made a plan for Yang Mingyi to be released, and the family went to Qingzhou to take up their duties together.
The eldest princess was reluctant to give up her daughter and grandson, so she took the youngest Yang Qing to the Qi family to raise her personally.
The fifth day of May this year is the 66th birthday of the eldest princess, the Qi family held a feast, and Qi Ling, who was far away in Qingzhou, was worried about her mother, so she sent her eldest son to the capital to pay homage to the eldest princess.
At that time, 'Gu Jialuo' had just married into the Qi family, and on the wedding night, he was thrown in the cave room by Qi Jinzhi, and all kinds of beautiful imaginations that were originally about Qi Jinzhi were instantly disillusioned. It wasn't until that moment that she knew that marrying the heir of the Guogong Mansion who was resolute and resolute and held military power was not as good as what she saw in the novel. The position of 'military wife', whether in modern times or in ancient times, is a very hard existence.
…… For a while, 'Gu Jialuo' was full of confusion about feelings, marriage, and future life.
Just when 'Gu Jialuo' doubted whether his original choice was correct, Yang Min appeared.
Yang Min is sixteen years old this year, and he has combined the advantages of his parents, and he is picturesque and handsome. Coupled with his strong bookish atmosphere, he looks more and more warm as jade, elegant and dusty, like a beautiful man who came out of calligraphy and painting.
This made the 'Gu Jialuo', who was disappointed in the general, very excited.
There was Yang Qing beside him who tried his best to condense it, and 'Gu Jialuo' and Yang Min went back and forth.
However, Yang Min was very cautious, or very smart, and kept hanging 'Gu Jialuo' as a humble gentleman, until he left the capital after his birthday, and there was no substantial progress with 'Gu Jialuo'.
However, 'Gu Jialuo' has a deep affection for him and secretly helps him a lot.
"Yes, the eldest brother is about to enter Beijing to study," Yang Qing's tone was full of joy, "Speaking of which, this matter is thanks to the eldest cousin, if it weren't for you, the eldest brother wouldn't have been able to enter Jinghua Academy so smoothly!" ”
Yang Qing said as she thanked Gu Jialuo.
Gu Jialuo's smile was a little stiff, and he said in his heart, this dead predecessor really left her a mess. The Qi family said that 'Gu Jialuo' Hongxing went out of the wall, and she really didn't wronged her. She didn't have a personal relationship with Qi Mianzhi, but she was 'in love' with Yang Min.
"It's nothing, my cousin is my own family, so it's right to help each other." Gu Jialuo said dryly, and between her words, she tried her best to clear up her relationship with Yang Min.
Yang Qing's eyes flashed with a flash of alertness, and after talking to Gu Jialuo for a while, she finally discovered Gu Jialuo's abnormality. If it had been before, Gu Jialuo would be extremely excited when he heard about Yang Min, and his eyebrows and eyes were full of spring.
Can be ...... today Yang Qing wasn't sure if it was her own delusion, and Gu Jialuo in front of her didn't seem to want to have anything to do with her brother.
Could it be that as the rumors say, Gu Jialuo was taught a lesson in the Iron Threshold Nunnery, and even his temperament has improved?!
Yang Qing is only thirteen years old this year, but she is smart and clever, otherwise the eldest princess would spoil her so much. She grew up in the Qi family, although she was favored by her elders, but in the end it was not her own home, and she was sent under the fence, which made her more and more precocious. At a young age, she knows how to control her emotions and not let people see through her thoughts.
Yang Qing smiled sweetly and said, "What the eldest cousin said is that you and my eldest brother are not 'our own family'." Don't hide it from my cousin-in-law, after my eldest brother returned to Qingzhou, he was very worried about his 'own family' in Beijing, and he just wanted to stay in the capital for a long time to protect her. Otherwise, the eldest brother would not have wanted to come to Jinghua Academy to study, after all, we also have excellent gentlemen in Qingzhou. ”
This is true or false!
Gu Jialuo sneered in his heart, yes, there are indeed good gentlemen in Qingzhou, but the teachers are not as good as the capital. Not to mention that an academy like Jinghua Academy, which has the great Confucianism of the time, has no way, no qualifications, and no opportunities, and ordinary people can't come at all.
Although the Yang family is a scholarly family, there was once a scholar, but the Yang scholar has been a scholar since he ascended the throne, although there are a few officials in the family, but the official position is not big.
Moreover, the Yang family is noble, the name is not the profit, and after a hundred years of accumulation, the biggest wealth is piles of books, and there are not many gold, silver, yellow and white things.
If Yang Min wants to study at Jinghua Academy, he must be recommended by someone, and he has to do a lot of work. If it weren't for 'Gu Jialuo' and asking Uncle Feng for help, and paying money and things, Yang Min would not have been able to be admitted to the academy smoothly.
"Sister Qing is joking again, Cousin Yang is dedicated to learning and wants to be admitted to Jinghua Academy, I just look at the face of my relatives, and I want to be good friends with Sister Qing, so I helped a little, my cousin just needs to study hard after entering the school, and I don't have to worry about this matter."
Gu Jialuo's smile faded, and his tone was detached.
At this moment, Yang Qing finally determined that Gu Jialuo really wanted to draw a line with his eldest brother!
How can this be?
Although the eldest brother was admitted to the academy, he still needs to give a gift when he meets his husband, and he can't be thinned down or anything. Several of the gentlemen of Jinghua Academy are great Confucians, and if they want to touch the hearts of these people, ordinary greeting gifts are useless.
After Yang Qing received the letter from his brother, he began to inquire about the preferences of several great Confucians: Mr. Cheng likes to collect inkstones, Mr. Fang prefers 'Li Mo', and Mr. Liu loves to collect ancient paintings...... Anyway, let's put it this way, what several great Confucians like are very expensive treasures.
Their Yang family is a noble family, and they can't take out so much money at all.
Even if he can get it, Yang Qing doesn't want to use the family's property easily, after all, the Qi family still has a stupid Gu Jialuo with a lot of money......
