Section 266 Afraid
It was quite pleasant to get along with Jiang Xin.
Jiang Xin is half a problem girl, she doesn't pay attention to so many rules, sometimes she has a black belly and a poisonous tongue, and she speaks crisply, and she has a temper towards Gu Jinzhi.
Jiang Xin had also heard that the ladies of the wang clan in Beijing called Gu Jin's mother and daughter barbarians from the countryside, so he asked her: "Your grandfather died, don't you have to go back to Yanling Mansion?" ”
In this era, filial piety was kept, and the filial son had to build a small shed in front of his father's grave, so the officials of Ding Wei had to return to their hometowns and return to the place where their father was buried.
But the old man of the Gu family did not send him back to his ancestral home for burial.
Gu Jinzhi explained to Jiang Xin seriously: "When I returned to Yanling Mansion, my grandfather also remembered the customs of the south of the Yangtze River, and I missed it a little. My grandfather was not born in Yanling Mansion, and the Yanling Gu family is also out of the bloodline of five generations. Our family's ancestral grave is in the capital, what are you going to do when you go back? ”
Jiang Xin smiled.
She knows.
She just wanted to test and see if the topic of her grandfather's death was taboo in Gu Jinzhi's heart.
Seeing that Gu Jinzhi was willing to say so much, her sadness should have passed a little.
Jiang Xin was also relieved.
"I see." Jiang Xin smiled, "You are not from the countryside of Yanling?" ”
Gu Jinzhi smiled and teased her: "You even know this? Didn't your mother say that you never ask about the world, how can you know all the gossip? ”
She secretly scolded Jiang Xin's mother-in-law.
Jiang Xin pretended to be displeased and said, "I don't care, but I know." I know most of the things in Kyosato, but I don't think it's interesting and don't bother to talk about it. You forget, I have a better memory than you. ”
Then he felt puzzled, and added, "You can't even remember simple Tang poems." ”
Gu Jinzhi laughed again. She felt that stepping on Jiang Xin hurt her feet. Jiang Xin's angry appearance is very funny.
The two laughed and walked around the temple.
Jiang Xin even wanted to go out and play.
Outside today's fair, there is a temple fair, delicious and fun, dazzling.
Gu Jinzhi didn't want to cause trouble, so he said: "Messy and coaxing, if I collide with you, your mother should scold me for being ignorant, and you will not be allowed to play with me in the future." Forget it. ”
"Cowardly." Jiang Xin despised her. But he didn't insist that he had to go out to play.
Jiang Xin doesn't like to be lively either. She wanted to try her best to arouse Gu Jinzhi's feelings and make Gu Jinzhi happy, but she didn't want to make it too obvious, and Gu Jinzhi would fall short when she saw it.
The two walked back slowly, and the maid behind them followed not far away.
When they returned to the room where Song Paner and Mrs. Jiang were resting. Two men were met at the door.
One of them also wore an official uniform.
The flying fish suit he was wearing should be a brocade guard.
Gu Jinzhi doesn't have a deep study of history, and only knows a little scratching the surface. She didn't have a good impression of Jinyiwei.
Jiang Xin also saw it, so he stopped slightly, waiting for the man and his attendant to go in first.
The man was very perceptive.
He seemed to notice someone not far away.
Turning slightly, he looked straight at Gu Jinzhi and Jiang Xin.
His gaze flashed on Jiang Xin's body and fell on Gu Jinzhi's face.
He has a high brow bone. It seems that the eyes are deep and bright, as if it can see through people's hearts.
Gu Jinzhi's scalp was a little numb, and his face changed suddenly.
Seeing Gu Jinzhi's face change, the man raised his lips and smiled slightly. There was a sudden increase in tenderness in his eyes.
Jiang Xin secretly squeezed Gu Jinzhi's hand.
Gu Jinzhi's palms were full of sweat.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Xin was stunned, "Do you know him?" ”
She felt that Gu Jinzhi's reaction was to be scared......
Gu Jinzhi breathed a sigh of relief for half a day.
She shook her head slightly, but her expression betrayed her. She wasn't that easy.
Jiang Xin, Gu Jinzhi and the man all stood in place. Looking at each other, it's a little weird. Jiang Xin saw that Gu Jinzhi was scared, so he took her hand and returned the same way without entering the wing.
"You're afraid of that man?" Jiang Xin asked Gu Jinzhi, "It's okay, he is wearing the official uniform of the commander of the Jinyi Guard." I heard my father and my brother say that there are two fellow acquaintances of Jinyiwei, one of whom is Tan You, the eldest young master of the Tan family, and the brother of Tan Guifei. If we didn't meet Mrs. Tan just now, then there must be no doubt that it must be Tan You. ”
If you know your identity, you know yourself and your opponent.
Jiang Xin hoped that Gu Jinzhi would not be so afraid.
She didn't quite understand what Gu Jinzhi was afraid of.
She didn't get along with Gu Jinzhi for much, but she also knew Gu Jinzhi's character, she wasn't so afraid of things, and her face changed when she was looked at.
Gu Jinzhi took a deep breath, smiled at Jiang Xin, and said, "I'm fine, it's not that I'm afraid of him." It's just that he looks like an old man......"
"Annoying people?" Jiang Xin asked.
Gu Jinzhi laughed and said, "A very annoying old man." ”
The two of them knew that Mrs. Tan was also resting in the wing, so in order not to meet Tan You again, the two simply didn't go back until Song Paner sent someone to look for them.
It was Mu Qing who came.
Gu Jinzhi asked Mu Qing: "...... Are the people of the Tan family gone? ”
Mu Qing said: "I haven't left yet." However, Madame was a little unhappy and wanted to go back early. ”
Last time, the little girl of the Tan family hugged Gu Jinzhi's leg and called Gu Jinzhi aunt, and Song Paner was still angry.
Then, Mrs. Tan promised to apologize, but broke her promise.
Song Paner has never been a person who is good at hiding her feelings.
She didn't have a good face for Mrs. Tan.
"Let's go, let's go back." Gu Jin's way.
She took Jiang Xin's hand and went back to the wing.
The eldest lady of the Tan family was resting in the next room, and occasionally heard the voice of talking.
Song Paner and Mrs. Jiang were in the house, waiting for Jiang Xin and Gu Jinzhi to come back.
Then they got up and went back to the city.
When they went out, someone in the next room poked their heads out to look, Gu Jinzhi and Song Pan'er both noticed it, but they didn't look back.
Song Paner and Mrs. Jiang each took their daughters, got into their own carriages, and left Yuanxing Temple.
On the way, Mrs. Jiang thought of Song Paner and couldn't help but smile.
Jiang Xin asked her mother: "What are you laughing at?" ”
"The third lady of the Gu family, her personality is really strong." Mrs. Jiang said with a smile, "She doesn't like Mrs. Tan very much, so she puts it on her face, and she doesn't even want to laugh." ”
Jiang Xin has also heard that Song Paner is spicy.
“…… When I was a girl, I was also short-tempered. Mrs. Jiang sighed.
She likes Song Paner's love-hate character.
When Mrs. Jiang was at her mother's house. The character is also strong. Her mother wanted her to be dignified and gentle, and repeatedly warned her to be restrained. Gradually, Mrs. Jiang's personality became more depressed.
Then, she married Jiang Liang again.
Jiang Liang's personality is even worse.
Young couples, the two are also-for-tat and quarrel. The princess persuaded many times in the middle, and then there was a faint dissatisfaction with Mrs. Jiang in her tone.
Only then did Mrs. Jiang make up her mind to change it.
She was afraid of annoying her husband and colding her mother-in-law's heart.
Over the years, her temper has been very different from when she was a girl.
Song Paner has not changed her personality so far. Probably because she had a gentle husband who would let her when they were bickering; And there is no mother-in-law......
"I'm not like you." Jiang Xin said, "Gu Jinzhi is not like her mother. ”
Then remembering Gu Jinzhi's changed face just now, Jiang Xin was silent again.
"You're not like your daddy either." Mrs. Jiang said.
After that, when I think of my daughter, there is only gray in my eyes. I felt sad for a while, and I was afraid that I would say the wrong thing and make Jiang Xin feel a lot of money, so I added, "You and your second brother have waxy personalities, and your sister and your eldest brother have ......strong personalities."
"The second brother is not glutinous." Jiang Xin said, "He is ruthless in his heart." The eldest brother and the eldest sister lost the second brother a big part. If I'm going to be ruthless. My sister is not as good as that. Do you just think that you can lose your temper? ”
Mrs. Jiang was speechless for a while by her.
Seeing that Jiang Xin was not sad, but could talk back, Mrs. Jiang breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and she didn't bother with Jiang Xin.
The mother and daughter fell silent.
Mrs. Jiang felt very sorry for Jiang Xin in her heart. But she and Jiang Xin really had nothing to say.
"Mother, that Tan You, how is he?" Jiang Xin asked suddenly. "Are there any rumors about him in Kyori?"
This shocked Mrs. Jiang's heart.
"Why did you suddenly remember to ask him?" Mrs. Jiang said.
Before the eldest young master of the Jiang family followed his father on the expedition, he served in the Fifth Military Camp.
They are all guards of the capital. They are also familiar with each other. The eldest young master of the Jiang family admired Tan You very much and mentioned him many times. Yuan Pinghou also felt that Tan You was a talent, and occasionally said a few words.
Jiang Xin is deeply liked by his father and brothers, sometimes they talk and do not avoid Jiang Xin, Jiang Xin's memory is good, and he remembers it after hearing it once.
"We saw him at the door." Jiang Xin said, "Gu Jinzhi's face changed at that time. She was scared and her palms were wet. Mother, Gu Jinzhi and the Tan family, is there anything else to say, isn't it Tan You's daughter who hugged Gu Jinzhi and shouted aunt? ”
Jiang Xinyun said lightly about that incident.
Mrs. Jiang smiled and said, "You have a big heart, this is not a big deal?" Mrs. Gu San is still angry. ”
Jiang Xin sighed.
Mrs. Jiang also thought about it seriously, and there seemed to be no rumors.
Mrs. Jiang knows all the big and small things in Beijing. A court like the Jiang family needs to be vigilant and well-informed at all times.
Mrs. Jiang said no, it should be no.
Jiang Xin was thinking all the way that something was wrong with Gu Jinzhi.
She was very afraid of that Tan You.
Why be afraid?
If it was because Tan You's daughter called her aunt, she should be angry.
Could it be that the child is really Gu Jinzhi's daughter?
But Gu Jinzhi is only fourteen years old and less than fifteen, how can she have such a big daughter?
"Mother, that Tan You......" Jiang Xin asked again.
"How does my mother know?" Mrs. Jiang was reluctant to talk about it.
Jiang Xin has had a strange personality since he was a child.
What she wants, even Hou Ye can't stop her. In case she takes a fancy to Tan You and has to marry Tan You as a stepfamily, wouldn't it make the princess, Hou Ye and the Jiang family lose face?
The Jiang family is not a down-and-out Houmen like the Su family of the Marquis of Jianzhao......
But if you don't say it, Jiang Xin will definitely ask someone to inquire.
It's better for Mrs. Jiang to say something nasty and preconceived.
“…… I heard about one thing: Tan You made the eldest grandmother kneel in the snow for the sake of the concubine, and smashed the small ancestral hall of the eldest lady of the Tan family. I heard that he was locked up in the ancestral shrine that time, and in the cold winter, he stripped off his clothes and knelt in front of the ancestral tablet for a day, and then he was frozen and fainted before he was brought back. Mrs. Jiang said.
Jiang Xin pursed his lips, and his eyes were a little disdainful.
Mrs. Jiang breathed a sigh of relief.
