Chapter 339: Relatives and Friends of the Gao Family
PS: The third watch, the time sent was a little late, however, it is still yesterday, and today's second watch! I'll send it later!
Miss Gao's zoo, that is simply worthy of its name, has been more than ten years, pine trees, bamboo forests or something, growing very well, sedan chairs in the forest path, surrounded by snowflakes, not a single animal has ever been seen. Everyone's hearts couldn't help but be a little disappointed. When Xiao Tang was anxious, Yuzhu on the side lit up: Monkey! Everyone looked in the direction she pointed, in front of a huge stone mountain, the highest stone peak, engraved "Huaguo Mountain" three people, this mountain is surrounded by a circle of deep ditches, and there are fine fences, a monkey saw someone coming, scratched his ears and cheeks and ran over, and then quickly jumped on the rockery, his butt pouted at the ladies of the command, and from time to time turned back to make a grimace. Everyone looked at the red monkey buttocks, deep and shallow, and couldn't help but blush, but the best thing was that a monkey next to him seemed to feel that this was very boring, and sat on the rockery and watched. For a while, it was unclear whether it was a person visiting it or a person visiting it, and several monkeys were lying on a piece of swept snow basking in the sun, and when they saw people coming, they all stood up. Mother Du hurriedly handed an apple to Yuzhu, and across a wooden fence, Yuzhu threw the apple in, and a monkey was quick to take it with one paw and ate it with relish. The other monkeys were so greedy that they flocked to the fence and looked begging at the rare ladies and ladies, whose mothers had brought a basket of fruits and other food when they entered the garden, and here they also brought out apples as usual. It was handed to the master, and the apples were all in the hands of the monkey, and he looked anxious. The drooling appearance made people laugh and couldn't help but look at the monkey, and was silent for a while, and at the end, he said to his grandmother:
"Grandma, in the future, don't call me any monkey!" Everyone was stunned. Then the group laughed. Straight to the soup laughed into a big red face. The crowd threw over a few apples, and they picked them up, ate them, and spit them out. I couldn't help but wonder, but a monkey quickly turned the apple in his hand in a circle. A layer of skin fell one after another. Actually peeled the skin, everyone was stunned, is it a monkey or a monkey spirit?
"Ladies and gentlemen, there is a leopard in front of you. Don't be afraid, everybody. Shut it tight! ”
The housekeeper of "The Garden of Beasts" reminded everyone in front, and everyone soon came to the iron cage of the golden leopard. The huge iron cage was not a good one, the weather was very good, the sun was good, and several leopards stayed outside in groups of three or five, enjoying the warm winter sun, and their backs were covered with spots. It's like copper coins, shining in the sun. Glittering and radiant. To the group of people who came over, they all owed a look! With the reminder of the steward, everyone is also psychologically prepared for this leopard, and they are not afraid, but they still urge the sedan chair driver to go as fast as possible~
Then he walked for a while, and came to the edge of a meadow by a shallow lake, where the snow was half melted and half melted, and all the animals moved freely. A few peacocks are pacing leisurely; On the water, a flock of wild ducks, mandarin ducks, and unnamed waterfowl are playing; However, the two long-legged cranes were recognized by everyone at a glance, and a group of sika deer in the distance were speeding freely in the forest. The ...... of the liver of the teapot body in the Xianxian Cave
A few people turned around and looked at the elephant. I saw it shaking its huge ears and fanning itself like a fan. This is a baby elephant brought by Marshal Gao Yuan from the south a few years ago, and now it has grown so big.
We turned around and saw the Bactrian camel, the natural dromedary also made a wonderful appearance, and by the way, there were also alpacas, and the red and green macaws were talking loudly, a natural painting circle.
The little girls of the Tang and Cai families have seen such a big bird in the world for the first time; I also saw egrets, golden monkeys, peacocks, swans, mandarin ducks, takin, antelope, golden pheasants, and Yuyue's hairless fighting cocks......
The exclamation was louder than the other, and Miss Gao said on the side:
"It's winter, and a lot of animals are asleep, and when the weather warms up, they come back to play, and then there are more animals."
"It's eye-opening enough, oh my God, this little lamb is so cute, it really looks like a camel on this side"
"Who could have such cruelty and actually eat it!"
……
Xiao Tang and Xiao Cai looked at the animals in Miss Gao's house, and at the same time their eyes opened wider and wider, they set up a big ambition, they must build one as they are, this is much more interesting than a garden, this is nine cold days, flowers and plants, there are no shadows, can the animals still be alive and jumping here? The two want to be the director of the zoo, this ambitious Yuyue thinks it's okay, it's better than thinking about marrying a good family all day long, but the two of them like the white rabbit the most, Yuyue sighed in her heart, I really haven't seen the world. How much to do to build a zoo from a rabbit to the ground.
Both of them are children who like animals, and they have repeatedly promised that they will not harm their little lives. So, Yuzhu took the lead and gave each of them a pair of little white rabbits and a pair of little flower rabbits, and the little black rabbits refused to accept it, saying that it was too ugly, and Yuzhu felt that these two people were hopeless, and said again and again: "If you don't like it anymore and don't want to feed it, please return it, don't eat it." ‘
'It's so cute, how can you eat it, and from then on, we don't eat rabbits!' The two swore an oath.
The two villains are satisfied, this visit, not only set, the three sisters of the Fan family went to the house to play, but also got a cute rabbit, the corners of the mouth have been upward, it has not been flattened, on the contrary, the two ladies regretted it, they knew that they would not go to any zoo, they were really dizzy, and actually proposed to go to the "Hundred Beasts Garden", hehe, did anyone tell me, is the big bird called sea holly not very easy to get, this little girl actually has two. Three months later, can the master of his family give each of these two girls one? I'm worried!
Lunch is naturally soup, and the Cai family's hearts are bubbling, if there is no good taste on the table, this trip will be a big loss.
After eating, the two ladies took their granddaughters away, and the Gao family then waited for the three little girls who were scheduled to come, and waited until the lights were on, but there was still no news.
"Sleep, I'm talking tomorrow, maybe it's snowing on the road!"
Yuyue thought to herself, the letter they sent was inappropriate, how could there be a deliberate put this Lantern Festival on the road, three little girls, impossible.
Therefore, it was not until the end of the eighteenth day of the first lunar month that a few delicate guests arrived.
The first to arrive was Zuo Congshuang at the third uncle's house, and then Zhu Yehui and Xiang Chunyang. The three uncles' families are not related, but in dealing with this incident, they have the same idea, the same thing happened to the three families, that is, they couldn't bear it until the end.
The little guests, who were in their own clan, gritted their teeth and found out, had no intention of coming to Beijing, so they naturally had a very uncooperative attitude, but the three families did not expect this.
The original intention was to figure out that Guò would accompany the three girls of the Fan family this time, so that the Gao family would be more fond of their aunt and grandmother. Unexpectedly, it had the opposite effect.
During the three-day journey, the three of them were on the road, all of them dragged as much as possible, two mothers, four big girl rings, plus the housekeeper of the outer courtyard who sent people to them, and the mighty cars, horses, and sedan chairs were extremely pompous. When he entered the Gao family, the faces of the master and servant were unsatisfactory.
Yuyue didn't say anything, and didn't have any hope for the little girl who was ordered to accompany her.
Friend, it's not imposed like that!
The aunt's maiden family is the local Wang family, and the Zhu family is also considered to be deeply rooted, and the uncle's family is naturally the best developed, after the aunt and grandmother got married, more than ten years, and actually became a Mrs. Yipin! It is a lot of help to the mother's family, and the elder brother's brother has been promoted to the experience department of the six-grade Metropolitan Procuratorate, a six-grade civil official, which is not very big, but this is the biggest official in the junior division of the Zhu family. Moreover, the experience of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is not an ordinary official.
Therefore, this time, he chose Zhu Yehui to come to Beijing in his house.
Miss Yehui, her temper is too big, and she is not willing to do what she is asked to do, so from the moment she enters the door, her face is not a face, and her nose is not a nose, which makes her aunt have a headache! This ancestor, it's better not to come!
I wish the girl, I occasionally felt a cold wind on the road, and when I entered the "Moon Reading Academy", I was bedridden and no longer came out.
And the Chunyang girl of the second aunt Xiang's family, her health is better, after entering the door, she only said that she was tired and could recover tomorrow, but her mother who came out of "Seven Star Courtyard" to explain was indignant.
Zuo Congshuang of the third uncle's mother's family has nothing to shirk, and she is also the only one who can hold up and come out to have dinner with her aunt's niece, and she calls her cousin's cousin and cousin about three little girls on the night of her arrival.
Zuo Congshuang, grandpa is a member of one party, the original Tongzhi who transferred salt from the four products is naturally not a childish person, so the arrival of Zuo Congshuang is after the grandfather's reminder, so that you must not offend the girl of the Fan family, if it is violated, it naturally cannot be recorded in the name of the mother, and you can still be a concubine!
It's hard to be a woman, it's even harder to be a concubine, I've always fantasized about becoming a concubine under my mother's name, knowing the hardships of life, I naturally don't dare to slack off, and I came out to meet people at dinner. Bet on it, just bet that this girl is lucky, and she won't stay in the capital for too long, just bet that this little girl is just her aunt's sister-in-law for the façade, and she doesn't really take it to heart, otherwise, one of her concubines will do things to play with her sister-in-law, and it will become the failure of the Zuo family.
Dinner at "Sword Qi Hall" This is the largest scale to receive junior guests. It's a pity that no one knows, and only a little girl came to the guest. Brand new leather jackets, new jewelry, all show that this is a favored concubine, but Yuyue doesn't see it that way, although you have to pick up good ones when you go out as a guest, but all new things also explain a lot of problems.
Yuyue's eyes looked at this cousin's maid-in-law, and after only a few glances, she saw a patch on the corner of a little girl's skirt, a small fabric of the same color, which was not conspicuous, and the soles of the nurse's shoes were also thinner! (To be continued......)
