Section 064 Farewell
The old man sent letters urging again and again, as a son and daughter-in-law, it would be a little unfilial if he refused to go north against the old man's wishes.
Besides, the old man is not harming them.
But if the family goes north, what should I do with the house here in Yanling Mansion?
The inner and outer courtyards of the whole family, hundreds of people, how can people who are not controlled?
If Gu Yanzhen's family moves back to the capital, these subordinates can be sold, or they can be dismissed to Zhuangzi, but they are not bothered.
But they are only going to visit relatives, and they will be back in six months at most.
Either they are sold, or they are sent, and where do they go to buy these things when they come back?
Song Paner and Gu Yanzhen mean the same, none of the people in the family want to disperse.
"Let Mother Song and Haitang take care of ......" Gu Yanzhen gave Song Pan'er an idea, "Didn't they always help you in the past?" ”
He only studied, and the affairs of the inner and outer courts, the fields and the shops had nothing to do with him, and he naturally did not know the difficulties in the middle.
Song Paner is very clear.
She shook her head: "You see that Mother Song and Haitang are amazing, because I have my support behind them." I sit on the flag, and the two of them do things, and there is always some gossip. If I'm not at home, and they're not the masters, where will those tricky people obey them? ”
You need a master in charge.
Gu Yanzhen thought of Hong Lian.
"It's better to take Aunt Hong back and take care of the family's affairs for the time being......," Gu Yanzhen blurted out.
After saying that, he regretted it a little, and his eyes were a little cautious.
Song Paner's heart was cold at first, but her face was quiet, and she was rarely calm, and explained to Gu Yanzhen: "She herself is a fool, what can she do?" She's lucky if she doesn't get into trouble, and you still count on her? You've forgotten Brother Xiu'er......"
"Yes, yes, I'm confused too. You shouldn't have said that. Gu Yanzhen remembered Gu Xiuzhi's illness and hurriedly said.
Hong Lian denied it.
Song Paner's mother's brothers and sisters-in-law are not bad, but if they hand over their family wealth to others, Song Paner will feel uncomfortable.
After all the calculations, there is no one to trust.
"When I come back from the capital, I will first say goodbye to Brother Xiu, and marry a daughter-in-law as soon as possible, so that no one can be used at home." Song Paner sighed.
Gu Yanzhen smiled and said yes, but he was thinking in his heart, Brother Xiu'er was not born in your belly. Are you relieved of his daughter-in-law?
The couple discussed for a long time, but they still couldn't come up with a clue.
It was almost evening, and Gu Jinzhi's sister and brother came over to say goodbye.
Song Paner made the decision to go to Beijing. Sue them.
Then he said to Gu Jin: "Mother's yard, your two younger brothers' yards, and your father's outer study are all managed by my mother, but I'm afraid I can't be busy." I'll leave all the business of your own yard to you. It's up to you who you take and who stays to see the portal. Collect what should be collected. The belt of the belt, just pay me an account. ”
Gu Jinzhi said yes.
The decision was a bit sudden.
She responded first, and then asked, "Why don't we wait for the beginning of spring next year, when the glacier freezes, before heading north?" In this cold winter, the road is inconvenient, and it will be the end of the year. ”
"Just because of your third brother's big day. Your grandfather wrote to us to go back. Song Paner said, "I flipped through the yellow calendar." Twenty is suitable to travel, if the road is fast, we can rush to the capital on Chinese New Year's Eve. ”
Gu Jinzhi smiled and didn't say anything more.
She knew her mother was optimistic.
They can get to the capital at the end of the first month, it depends on the weather along the way. Not before Chinese New Year's Eve.
The further north you go, the more wind and snow there will be; Those who went to Beijing to report on their work, those who sent New Year's goods to their masters in the south, and those who were officials from other places rushed back for the New Year. Cars, horses, and boats are afraid that they will be very crowded, and it will be difficult to travel by water and land.
It is impossible to arrive before Chinese New Year's Eve.
After everyone had dinner and dispersed, Song Paner left Gu Jinzhi to speak.
“…… Your grandfather sent a letter quickly, two in a row, urging us to go to Beijing. She showed the letter to Gu Jinzhi, "Today is already fifteen or twenty departures, and time is in a hurry."
You put your homework aside tomorrow, and all the things in the yard must be arranged, and you can't put it off. Eighteen or nineteen, we have to be individual with our relatives and neighbors, so that others don't guess indiscriminately for some reason. ”
Song Paner didn't want to be told by outsiders that it wasn't at all.
Gu Jinzhi's gaze fell on his grandfather's letter, and he didn't move away for a long time.
In just two letters, the content is almost the same, but she has read it for a long time.
She studied with her grandfather for two years and knew him better than anyone else in the family.
Her grandfather's handwriting is even more familiar to her.
Judging from his grandfather's handwriting, when he wrote, he was in a very uncalm mood, even a little impatient, and the subtleties of the words were revealed.
Gu Jinzhi thought of his grandfather in a hurry to Beijing.
There is really something big going on in Kyori.
After a while, Gu Jinzhi's mind turned around, and he said to his mother with a smile: "Don't worry, I will do it." ”
Song Paner patted her hand gently.
To go to Beijing, the family is going, and the time is in a hurry, Song Paner has to set aside two days to visit relatives and friends, and sent a New Year's gift in advance.
The whole family was so busy that their feet didn't touch the ground.
There was no suspense in Gu Jinzhi's yard.
Ni Shang's face was broken, and she was still cultivating, it was impossible for her to follow Gu Jinzhi. Even if she didn't break her appearance, Gu Jinzhi was not ready to take her. Ni Shang has a pungent personality, and she can calm the people in the hospital, and when Gu Jin leaves, she needs something like Ni Shang in her yard even more.
I wish my mother is old, she has seen a lot of the world, and if she can take care of Gu Jinzhi on the way, she will definitely go with Gu Jinzhi.
I also have to bring two big girls.
Zhilei, Youhe and Wei Rui are a little difficult to choose.
"Girl, I'll stay with Ni Shang as my companion." Zhilei took the initiative to say.
She has a deep relationship with Ni Xiang.
Gu Jinzhi agreed.
The rest, except for a few books, what to bring and what to put away, are all regulated by Zhu's mother, and Gu Jinzhi doesn't care.
On the mother's side, because of Mother Song and Begonia, she is vigorous and resolute, faster than Gu Jinzhi.
Regarding how to take care of the courtyard, Song Paner also thought of a way.
The accounts in the Zhuangzi and the shop are managed by their respective managers in advance, and they are not counted before the year, and they will be talked about when Song Paner comes back.
The affairs of the family are also separated.
There are kitchenettes in each yard. Firewood, rice, oil and salt were divided, and each room ate and lived separately, and each had nothing to do with it. Each courtyard has a steward, and one qiē obeys the instructions of the steward of each courtyard.
In addition, please ask the eldest aunt, Mrs. Song, and the chief steward Sun Yutang, and take care of the affairs of the house.
Such an arrangement is also Song Paner's good intentions.
Gu Jinzhi thought of the contracting responsibility system in later generations......
Divide the things in the house into pieces, specific to each courtyard. It is indeed easier to take care of only a few people in his own small yard.
Her mother was very good at managing people.
After the affairs of the family are dealt with quickly and effectively. Song Paner took the whole family and went to the Song family's New Year's ceremony first.
Mrs. Song set up a table of banquets for them to practice.
Second cousin Song Yanzhao heard that Gu Jinzhi was leaving. Quietly tugged at her sleeve and asked her to follow him into the yard to talk.
Gu Jinzhi got up and went out with him.
Mrs. Song saw it in her eyes, but she didn't know.
Everyone pretended not to see it.
Song Yanzhao sent a monkey carved from sandalwood to Gu Jinzhi: "...... During the Lantern Festival, let's talk and laugh. You say you like wood carving. I thought you were a monkey, and I wanted to learn wood carving to make your birthday gift. Who knows, this thing is very difficult to learn, and my husband has a tight homework, and it took a year of hard work to do such a ......"
Actually, he did a lot of them.
He learns things and has a lot of talent.
I made one in April. Ready to give it to Gu Jinzhi.
It's just that when the words come to my mouth, I feel that it is not perfect enough, and I need to refine.
Carving. And it was broken......
I had to do it all over again.
After all, this was the first gift he gave to Gu Jinzhi.
If she accepts it, then it will be regarded as accepting his heart, right?
So he wanted to talk a few days ago, and he always wanted to send something to Gu Jinzhi, but then he didn't say anything, which made everyone look at it.
Song Yanzhao was very nervous at the moment. Hand the wood carving to Gu Jinzhi.
The sun of the winter moon was sparse, and a light chill flowed through his fingers.
He didn't realize it. But my fingers were still shaking, and I didn't know if I was nervous or frozen......
Gu Jinzhi sneered, wrapped his palm, wrapped the wood carving in his own palm, and then pushed his hand back.
"You don't know, I can't smell sandalwood?" She lied and said, "I am indeed a monkey, but I can't look at monkeys!" Your heart has arrived, I am grateful, thank you second cousin. ”
Then he took two steps back, blessed his body, and bowed to him.
"It's too cold outside, so I've just eaten hot food, and it's not good to eat from the cold. I'll go back first. Gu Jinzhi said with a smile, and turned around and went back first.
was crisp and neat, without the slightest fear that Song Yanzhao would be sad and hesitate.
Song Yanzhao was stunned and didn't move his feet for a long time.
The lifelike carved monkey of sandalwood in his hand stabbed his palm.
He could understand what Gu Jinzhi meant.
Gu Jinzhi rejected him.
His eyes were a little astringent.
In the end, the banquet dispersed, Gu Jinzhi followed his parents home, and his appearance was the same as usual, without the slightest abnormality.
Song Yanzhao did not come back.
Song Pan'er looked at it and didn't say a word, for fear that Gu Jinzhiyuan wouldn't understand this, but would be hooked by what she said.
Mrs. Song's side was a little distressed.
"Sister Jin'er is a daughter-in-law, she is not that exquisite, but she is not stupid. Silent, I knew in my heart that it was a good one. Mrs. Song muttered to Mother Sun beside her, "It's just Pan'er, this aunt is strong in everything, and I can't stand her as an in-law with her." ”
"Miss Cousin didn't mean that either." Mother Sun said with a smile, "Miss Biao probably knew that the second young master was going to take the exam next year, but she didn't delay him ......."
Although it is not good to look at this family business, but her son was rejected, and Mrs. Song was not happy.
Mother Sun's words made her even more uncomfortable.
She silently took her tea.
Sun's mother also regretted that she had said the wrong thing and stood aside in embarrassment.
Song Paner didn't know this.
She has been excluded from her choice of son-in-law by the children of the Song family.
On the nineteenth day of the winter month, the day before leaving, Song Paner took Gu Jinzhi to visit the princess.
When the princess heard that they were going to Beijing, she smiled and said, "Such a coincidence? Chen Gongzi is also going, and he is also scheduled to leave in the next few days. But you can get together and be with you on the way. ”
