"Madam, I didn't expect to see Madame again in the capital after many years."

When only Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Jin were left in the pavilion, Mrs. Gu stood up and bowed deeply to Mrs. Jin.

"It's rare to be able to meet again." Mrs. Jin accepted her salute with a smile on her face, and pointed to the stool on the side: "You can also sit, so that people can see that it is not presentable." ”

"What if you see it." Mrs. Gu sat down and said with a grateful face: "If I hadn't met Mrs. back then, the lives of our mother and daughter would have been gone, and over the years, I have always wanted to thank Mrs. well, but Mrs.'s whereabouts are erratic, so we don't know where to look." ”

Mrs. Jin poured a cup of tea and handed it over: "I have only practiced medicine all these years, and sometimes I also go to the mountains to collect some medicine, where can you find it, besides, I treated you back then, and your family also paid for the consultation, so there is no need to say thank you." ”

"Anyway, we owe it to Madame." Mrs. Gu said neatly: "Otherwise, what will happen to us." ”

But it turned out that when Mrs. Gu gave birth to Gu Xin, she had a difficult birth and almost lost two lives, and it happened that Mrs. Jin was practicing medicine in the local area, and by chance she saved the lives of the Gu family's mother and daughter.

When Mrs. Gu gave birth to Gu Xin, Uncle Gu offered a generous consultation fee, and originally said that he would prepare a generous gift to thank Mrs. Jin, but when he went to the hospital to look for it, Mrs. Jin was gone.

Although many years have passed since this incident, because she was so impressed at the time, Mrs. Gu still recognized Mrs. Jin.

"I don't care if you want to thank you." Mrs. Jin waved her hand helplessly: "This matter is also our fate, I saved you back then, and now the two families are neighbors, what a coincidence." ”

"Not really." Mrs. Gu also laughed as she spoke: "I originally said that I would visit the Li family, where did I think that the Li family still has your big Buddha, I would have known earlier, I would have come over earlier." ”

"By the way, why did you move your family north?" After laughing for a while, Mrs. Jin asked, "When did your uncle not have it?" ”

Speaking of which, Mrs. Gu was sad for a while: "It was gone three years ago, we have been filial piety in Jiangnan for three years, and now we are full of filial piety, so we moved to the capital with our children to live." ”

"Let's mourn." Mrs. Jin patted Mrs. Gu's hand: "Now that they are neighbors, they will have more contacts in the future." ”

Mrs. Gu smiled, and Mrs. Jin looked up at the edge of the pond: "These two girls are also in love, and they can't stop talking." ”

"Tell their little sisters to go, let's talk about ours." Mrs. Gu laughed as she spoke.

The two of them recalled the events of the year in the pavilion, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and after a while, Mrs. Gu asked: "I heard that your little lady is going to enter the palace?" ”

Mrs. Jin nodded: "If it weren't for her, where would I come to the capital." ”

"It's not easy to stay in this palace, you have to do it all around, madam, we don't have anything next to the Gu family, there is still no shortage of money, if the little lady needs it, our Gu family is willing to give money and help the little lady."

Mrs. Gu thought about it for a long time before she said this, if she didn't recognize Mrs. Jin, she wouldn't dare to put forward this meaning, but now she knows that Mrs. Jin is an acquaintance and has a life-saving grace for her, and seeing that the Li family is also a kind family, she thinks that instead of cheapening the family's money in the future, it is better to be with the Li family, at least if the little lady Li gets the favor, she can also pull her family.

Mrs. Jin shook her head: "You also know that I have been practicing medicine for many years, and I don't even know how many people I have cured under my hands, so many years, I have saved a lot of money, which is enough for my daughter to spend in the palace, so you don't have to bother with it." ”

"Your daughter, this ......" Mrs. Gu didn't expect it, and was shocked for a while.

Mrs. Jin smiled: "I am a childless and daughterless, I was lonely and helpless, I didn't expect that last year in the deep mountains called Luan Yatou to save her life, in order to recuperate from her injuries, she lived in her house for many days, her brothers and sisters are honest people, good people, after a long time, I am reluctant to these three children, they also have no father and mother, and there is no teaching in ordinary affairs, often ask me for advice, Brother Chun and Feng Yatou are even more intimate with me, like a family, after a period of time, I recognized my goddaughter, Feng Yatou became my goddaughter, I have lived for most of my life, and I have such a girl, it hurts or something, she enters the palace, and I don't plan for her. ”

Mrs. Gu pondered in a low voice and said softly: "There is a lady who plans for the little lady, and the little lady will definitely get better and better in the palace." ”

"I hope so." Mrs. Kim laughed.

When it was time for lunch, before Li Luan'er came over to invite the two of them to the hall for dinner, Mrs. Jin suddenly looked at Mrs. Gu: "Although your uncle has gone, you still have a pair of children, I think the girl is a good one, and it is not bad to want to come to your brother, and after the two children marry a wife and marry in the future, you will also wait to enjoy the happiness of your children." ”

"I've borrowed your kind words." Mrs. Gu was not very happy in her heart, but she forced a smile on her face: "You can be regarded as having children and daughters now, and you will naturally have a future blessing in the future." ”

"I can't compare to you." Mrs. Jin waved her hand: "Our brother Chun has few eyes, although his face is not bad, but he can't set up a household after all, whose good daughter is willing to marry him, but if he asks for something that he can't do, we are worried that the life of the two of us will not be able to live in the future, no, I and Luan Yatou are worried about this matter." ”

Speaking of Li Chun, Mrs. Jin is actually quite worried.

If you want to find a poor and honest girl for Li Chun, it will be possible with the current conditions of the family, but Mrs. Jin always feels that Li Chun has been wronged in this way.

Li Luan'er thought more, she wanted to find a shrewd and capable bride for Li Chun, Li Chun's brain is not good, please a smart bride, and in the future, the two of them can still live a life, if they can't beat a fart with those three sticks, or they don't have knowledge, I'm afraid that the two of them won't be able to live a life.

"Speaking of asking for a bride, I have a good candidate, but I don't know your brother's ......" Mrs. Gu thought about staying in the Li family, and when she heard that Mrs. Jin was worried about Li Chun's wife, she naturally racked her brains to help her think of ideas.

"I'll call Brother Chun to come over and give you a salute when you eat later, just take a look." When Mrs. Jin heard this, she rejoiced in her heart: "We don't hide what Brother Chun'er is, we don't need to praise you as a matchmaker, just tell the truth, if the girl is willing, we will be good to her when she marries, but the girl is unwilling, and we don't force it." ”

"That's right." Mrs. Gu smiled and complimented, and the two of them got up and went to the hall together.

When the dinner was set, Mrs. Jin called someone to find Li Chun to come over to greet her.

Mrs. Gu began to look at Li Chun as soon as she entered the house, and when Li Chun got closer, she observed it more carefully, and she found that this Li Chun was not as stupid as rumored, just looking at the surface, this was a handsome and good young man.

I saw Li Chun wearing a royal blue robe, with black hair coiled on the top of his head, wrapped in a handkerchief, and a thin silver wire rope wrapped around the handkerchief, just embellished with a pearl, and his face was like a spring flower, his eyes were like an autumn moon, and he looked really clean and good-looking.

Li Chun always smiled when he saw people, and when he smiled, the two dimples appeared, which made people look even more pleasing.

didn't listen to Li Chun's words, just looking at him, Mrs. Gu liked him a little, and when he got closer, Li Luan'er came over to introduce: "This is our neighbor Mrs. Gu, you call Auntie." ”

Li Chun hurriedly made a gesture and said clearly: "Aunt Gu is good." ”

Li Luan'er pointed at Gu Xin again: "This is the aunt of the Gu family, just call me sister." ”

"Sister Gu." Li Chun smiled very happily: "I heard the eldest sister say that you like it, like the dim sum I make, I, I'll make it again, bring more." ”

Gu Xin hurriedly got up: "Thank you, Brother Li." ”

"No thanks, no thanks." As soon as Gu Xin gave a salute, Li Chun, who was coaxing, hurriedly waved his hand and retreated: "I, I'll go to the kitchen to take a look, you eat, eat well." ”

As he spoke, he had slipped out the door.

Mrs. Jin looked at Li Chun's back and smiled kindly: "This kid is afraid of seeing people, and he can't even speak well when he sees unfamiliar people." ”

Mrs. Gu felt strange in her heart, she only said that Li Chun was stupid, but now she is not stupid, looking at the child's dress, she knows that she is a clean-loving person, and she looks like a little joyful, although she is not very clever in speaking, but there is no lack of etiquette, where is it like those fools I have seen before, dirty and smelly, and always noisy and crazy to beat people.

Li Luan'er asked Mrs. Gu to sit down, and gave Mrs. Gu two dishes for her to taste, and after tasting it, she said: "My brother actually had a fever when he was a child, and he burned his brain a little confused. ”

"I'll see." Mrs. Gu smiled: "Now I also look at the people, when I am free, I will help ask the family, if it is successful, I will decide this thank you matchmaker." ”

Mrs. Jin nodded and said, "This is natural, if you say a good daughter-in-law to our brother Chun, we will naturally prepare a heavy gift to thank you." ”

Li Luan'er thought for a while and asked, "I just don't know which one Madame is talking about?" ”

Mrs. Gu knew that this Li Dalang must be valued in this family, thinking about it, this woman picks up the man, and the man naturally picks the woman, although the Li family has some problems, but people are afraid and unwilling to say that a saltless woman is a bride.

Thinking about it this way, she can also see it: "The woman is a distant cousin of my mother's family, speaking of which, her ancestors are also scholarly, but after several lifetimes of repeated failures, so defeated, to my cousin's generation, anyway, my cousin was in the examination openly, and later did not get the entrance examination, so he did not have that thought, and began to drill into the officialdom. ”

"It's still an official eunuch, this ...... Are people willing? Li Luan'er gasped when she heard this.

Mrs. Gu smiled: "Although he is said to be a Beijing official, he is only a six-rank official of Qingshui Yamen, plus the ancestral family business has long been defeated, my cousin's family has no money, and the family is very hard, I want to talk to your eldest man about his family's concubine." ”

"Concubine?" Li Luan'er was a little curious: "According to you, her family is hard, how can she still talk about a concubine." ”

"Alas!" Mrs. Gu sighed: "My original cousin-in-law was also from a scholarly family, only weak and weak, after giving birth to a daughter, she couldn't serve my cousin, so she had no choice but to raise her dowry girl as a concubine, and this concubine gave birth to a son and a daughter, and later, when my cousin's daughter was four or five years old, she went, and my cousin was unwilling to wronged three children, so he never remarried." ”

Seeing that Li Luan'er and Mrs. Jin were silent, Mrs. Gu said again: "I said that I was not happy to marry a wife, but in fact, the family conditions were really bad, and I couldn't get my favorite stepfamily." ”RS
