Chapter 38: Could this be Yingsleeve's family?

At 5 o'clock in the morning on the second day, the light of day broke.

Steward Jiang was already guarding the gate of Sanfang Street.

Seeing that Gu Mengping was going out to play again, Ying's sleeved mouth pursed.

Jiamu was funny and funny, pinching Yingsleeve's little face and rubbing it for a long time, until Yingsleeve puffed out in pain, and then reluctantly let go.

She has been lonely since she was a child, with no brothers and no sisters, and she has long been envious when she sees that the neighbors are all elder brothers leading younger brothers, and older sisters leading younger sisters to play.

Knowing that Gu Mengping was going to inherit the heir to the outer three rooms, she was rejected at first, but when she knew that Gu Mengping was the pure master who recited scriptures for her parents, she slowly began to accept it.

Gu Mengping can recite scriptures and pray for her parents, and her nature is good.

It's better to find a younger brother with a good personality than to know nothing.

What's more, it also comes with a younger sister.

Kamu simply loves Yingsleeve.

Seeing that the two of them could play together, the old monk and the old man had a smile on their faces.

Just then, there was a knock at the street door.

The old monk was impatient to entertain people, so he let Yijing help him back to the upper room, leaving Lao An alone in the courtyard.

The people who came were the mother and daughter-in-law of the ninth house, and as soon as the two of them entered the door, they stuffed the things in their hands into Lao Anren's arms, smiling with crooked eyebrows.

"I heard that Brother Ping was invited by Taishou? This is the glory of our outer rooms, and we don't have any good things in our ninth room, so we took a little ruler and tea, and showed a little heart. Grandma Nine smiled so much that she couldn't see her teeth, and she took Jia Mu's hand vigorously and praised her for her good needlework.

If there was no quarrel a few days ago, Lao An would have laughed and laughed.

But with that quarrel, Jiufang seemed a little unwelcome today.

However, Grandma Nine and her daughter-in-law obviously didn't care much about Sanfang's attitude, and their eyes looked at Yingsleeve one by one.

"Whose daughter is this, so handsome?" Grandma Nine wanted to pull Yingsleeve's little hand, but Yingsleeve avoided it, and her face couldn't help sinking.

Lao Anren pulled Yingsleeve to his lap and hugged it, and smiled faintly, "This is an orphan girl adopted by the master." ”

Grandma Nine said 'hmm', staring at Yingsleeve with blazing eyes.

Then he exchanged glances with her daughter-in-law.

In Runing Mansion, in the prefect's back house, Gu Mengping had a very happy conversation with Jiang Sixian.

The population of the prefect's back house is simple, only Jiang Sixian's wife Kong Shi led a few servant women to live, and the children stayed in Beijing.

Kong is tall and plump, with a goose egg face and willow eyebrows, and is a typical Shandong woman. Wearing a stone blue gourd double happiness pattern sprinkled with gold gown, the surface looks weak and quiet, but a pair of eyes are blazing, which makes people dare not underestimate it.

Being able to see Mrs. Uchioku proves that Jiang Sixian treats him as a good friend of the family.

Gu Mengping is even more energetic.

Jiang Sixian didn't ask him about the Gu family, only asked about the old monk's body, and then asked him about his habits of living in the outer third room, and the topic began to turn to learning.

The two of them talked about the "Analects" from the "Book of Songs" here, and from the "Spring and Autumn Period" to the "Dizang Sutra", and the more they talked about Jiang Sixian, the more frightened they became.

How could a child who grew up in a temple have such insight?

In fact, Gu Mengping didn't mean to be handsome, but the old monk told him to do so.

Before coming, the old monk told him, "If there are gentlemen in the court, then Jiang Dongyang, the first assistant of the cabinet, can be called one." The son he taught was naturally different. How do you usually talk to me, just show eight points of sincerity to him. ”

Jiang Sixian intended to test him, so he talked about the water governance of the house, "When it comes to Runing Mansion, there are only three words: rushing, complicated, and difficult." Rushui west out of Luyang County of the big Yu Mountain Huangbai Valley, the rock is deep and high, the mountains are dense, the stone path is rugged, and the people are cut off. However, because of this natural danger, whenever there is a heavy rain, it will flood the road and destroy the village. The government is overwhelmed with worries, but there is no good law. ”

It stands to reason that the matter of water governance should not be talked about with a twelve-year-old boy, but Jiang Sixian intends to test him today, no matter whether Gu Mengping is right or wrong, as long as he can say that he is ugly, Jiang Sixian will already be satisfied.

When it comes to water control, it is nothing more than dredging, plugging, and leaking.

But Gu Mengping came from later generations, so he naturally knew that there were many hydrological stations in Boshan Reservoir and Suyahu......

However, the construction of reservoirs and the digging of lakes did not happen overnight, nor did they happen to one prefecture or one county, so he picked up unimportant things and said a few words.

Xiao Ke believes that the disaster of Runing lies in Suyahu Lake, which is low-lying, vast and sparsely populated, and has rivers and ditches. Several tributaries of Henan Province flow through here. Due to the slow terrain, the flood is slow, and the overflow is often overflowing, and the slope water accumulates, flooding the crops, and it becomes a disaster in case of heavy rain, and it is an ocean. If you can send manpower to dig Suyahu Lake to dredge the waterway, its work will be in the future. ”

Jiang Sixian smiled, but did not answer.

Can it be so easy to excavate Suyahu Lake? There are not a few million taels of silver to think of starting construction. He had thought about it before, but his father reprimanded him.

Seeing the young man in front of him talking eloquently without showing fear, he couldn't help but feel that the newborn calf was not afraid of the tiger.

Back then, he used to be like that......

So, he diverted the topic, "Let's not talk about these things first, let's talk about what the Marquis of Jin made Han wear to say that Wenyang Zhitian is attributed to Qi......

This is the official story of "Spring and Autumn......

"Jin Luan's handsome master invaded Cai. Gongsun baby Qi Ruju. Minister Song envoy Hua Yuan came to hire. In the summer, the Song envoy Gongsun Shou came to pay the currency...... "Gu Mengping continued to backslide.

Listening to Gu Mengping's voice that had not yet changed his voice and reciting it in a frustrated tone, Jiang Sixian couldn't help but stroke his beard and jaw.

Kong, who was doing needlework next to him, couldn't help but turn his head to listen.

After sending Gu Mengping away, Kong sighed, "It's a pity! ”

Knowing what his wife was sighing about, Jiang Sixian also sighed slightly, "What is the surname Gu!" ”

Kong glanced at her husband, took Jiang Sixian's hand lightly, and gently persuaded him: "We have been staying in Runing Mansion for several years, and it is time to move the place." The world is so big, why not? Why can't we find one more desirable in the future? ”

Jiang Sixian just shook his head, his face was stunned, "If you don't have the surname Gu, how good it would be......"

Gu Mengping, who walked out of the prefect's back house, was also embarrassed.

If he doesn't have the surname Gu, if Jiang Sixian doesn't have the surname Jiang, how good would it be?

Where can I find such a good teacher?

But this sigh disappeared after he returned to the outer third room.

When Jia Mu saw Gu Mengping coming back, he hurriedly pulled him into the street door, and said angrily: "Brother, why are you only coming back now?" Something big happened at home, you know? ”

What can happen in the family?

Gu Mengping first turned around and thanked the coachman who sent him back to Suiping, rewarded the coachman with ten copper coins, and watched the coachman drive away, and then re-entered the street door.

Seeing him unhurriedly, Jia Mu couldn't help but complain, "When is it, are you still pretending to be old here?" Did you know that Sister Yingsleeve's family came looking for her? ”

'Poof', Gu Meng squirted out the tea he had just poured into his mouth.

A family member of the sleeves?

Yingsleeve is an orphan brought back by the old monk from Chengdu, Sichuan, and her family came to recognize each other?

Gu Mengping believes that the old monk knows the true identity of Yingsleeve, otherwise why would Yingsleeve kneel down and worship a piece of Liuyun Baifu jade pendant on the first day of the new year every year? The jade pendant has a delicate texture, as white as fat, and it is a high-quality mutton fat white jade.

Where can ordinary people afford it?

He guessed that Yingsleeve's parents were either rich or expensive, and they should have been orphaned by the family and entrusted to the old monk.

Seeing his expression, Jia Mu was angry and angry, and pointed at Gu Mengping: "Okay, I've done all my useless work, I'm worried about Sister Yingsleeve in vain, it's funny in your eyes?" ”

Seeing that she was angry, Gu Mengping hurriedly lost several of them.

It wasn't until Lao Anren sent a pair of middle-aged couples with obscene appearances out that Jia Mu snorted and didn't get angry with Gu Mengping.

"This is Yingsleeve's 'parent'?" Gu Mengping pointed to the man and woman and asked.

Jiamu nodded hatefully and spat heavily.

Gu Mengping's face turned strange.
