Chapter 19: Master Gu Qi
"I didn't expect to ask my grandmother to see it, Tang'er just wanted to play with dough. When I was at home, my mother always detained me and didn't let me do these things. Now that I've finally come out, isn't my grandmother going to satisfy me? Gu Yutang looked like a little adult, and said righteously.
Accustomed to Gu Yutang's pitiful and weak pathology, it was rare to see her so lively and cute, Mrs. Lin couldn't help laughing as if she had been poked in the laughing spot. "You, you, grandmother is satisfied with you, let your grandmother Feng accompany you to play with dough."
After laughing, she realized that Gu Yutang and Bai Ge'er were the same age, Gu Yutang was only one year older than Bai Ge'er, Bai Ge was still like an ignorant naughty boy, but Gu Yutang was much more mature and sensible than him.
If Gu Yutang had been raised in her house earlier, she had not been affected by such a bad thing as the boss and the eldest daughter-in-law, and had been carefully taught and cared for by her, maybe she would have been better off now. You must know that Gu Yujia, the first lady of the Gu family she taught, married to the Dong family of Houma, Shanxi, one of the famous wealthy businessmen in Shanxi.
Gu Yutang originally just wanted to get some words out of that Zijuan's mouth, but he didn't expect that Zijuan to even know that Grandmother Feng knew how to make noodles. Such an old thing, Lao Huang Li, if it weren't for the Lin family accidentally mentioning it to her in the previous life, she wouldn't know that her grandmother Feng, who had a kind face and couldn't see her eyes when she smiled, was actually a famous pastry chef in ten miles and eight towns when she was young.
She had never eaten the pastries made by Grandmother Feng, but she knew that every fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, Grandmother Feng would lead the maids and women in the yard to make godly snacks together, and Grandmother Feng was all from the side, worshipping God's snacks, and everyone who tasted them stretched out their thumbs to praise.
While still talking, Zijuan had already led everyone to the Gu family's second house in the countryside of Pengpu, Tongyuan.
Tongyuan is composed of three three-entry houses and two two-entry houses, two towering plane trees are planted at the gate, the ground is scattered full of sycamore leaves, next to the plane tree are two lifelike stone lions, the stone lion's mouth also bites two carved stone balls.
Bypassing the long verandah, and bypassing two or three courtyards, finally came to the Hanbi Courtyard, where Feng Lao'an lived, as soon as he stepped into the door, he smelled the fragrance of flowers in the courtyard, the long corridor was full of spider plants, each spider plant bloomed small white flowers, and there were excellent daylilies planted under the seats under the corridor.
Zijuan led the way in front, and Old Lady Lin, Gu Yutang and others followed behind. As soon as I walked to the three forks in the corridor, I saw a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man, who looked like a scholar, tied up his long hair, held a book, stood under the corridor and shook his head and read, "Confucius Yun, threesome, there must be my teacher." Choose those who are good and follow them, and change those who are not good. ”
Zijuan saw the young man, and then saluted and greeted: "Seventh master, the slave maid took the old lady Lin and the third lady from the long room, and the fourth young master went to see the old lady, and the old lady is now waiting for us in the hall." ”
Gu Yutang felt a little strange! That scholar-like young man turned out to be her seventh uncle, the seventh master of the Gu family? How could he look so young?
In her past and present lives, she has only had a few encounters with her seventh uncle, and has never had any dealings. I only know that she is the person on the tip of the second room Feng Lao'an's heart.
Before Gu Yutang and the others walked over, Gu Liming, the seventh master of the Gu family, had already walked towards them, and after bowing to Mrs. Lin, he straightened up, "When did the eldest aunt come?" If the nephew had known that the eldest aunt would come, he would have waited for the eldest aunt at the gate of the city, but it was the nephew's poor hospitality this time that made the eldest aunt smile. ”
Lin smiled, this kid was still the same as in his mind, and he didn't feel much change. The character is also equally respectful and polite, "When I came, I only wrote a letter to your mother, and then I came." Maybe she didn't know when I was coming, so she didn't tell you. What book are you reading this time? This year's Spring Wai, have you registered?"
"Aunt Yu, my nephew is reading Confucius's "Analects", and Chunyu's mother has already registered for her nephew. During this time, my mother was urging me so tightly that she was reluctant to let me out of the courtyard, so she hoped that I would be able to take the first place in the examination, and then find a petty official in the sixth department to deal with paperwork. Mother said that our Gu family is from a businessman's background, and it can be regarded as a glorious lintel if one or two scholars can be produced, and a jinshi is blessed by the Bodhisattva. When Gu Liming spoke, there seemed to be light in his eyes, which made people look very comfortable.
"If you think so, my aunt will be very pleased. If our Gu family can be like your eldest brother, fourth brother, and fifth brother, and have another Jinshi, it will be truly glorious to the ancestors. Save others from always making a fuss about our family and businessmen. Old Mrs. Lin looked at the book Gu Liming was holding in her hand, and said, "This time, I came to bring you two knives of Chengxin paper and a box of lake pens, and eight or nine pieces of inkstones, in order to hope that you can be inscribed on the gold list." ”
Gu Liming said "yes" again and again, suddenly glanced at Gu Yutang behind Mrs. Lin, and asked, "Auntie, is this little girl the pearl of the eldest brother's family?" That little face is so cute. ”
Gu Liming said, three steps and two steps came to Gu Yutang's side, and before Gu Yutang could react, his two hands pinched her little face tightly, "This looks so good, it looks seven or eight points similar to my sister-in-law." Auntie, didn't my eldest brother and sister-in-law come with you this time? ”
Gu Liming said, still pinching Gu Yutang's little face with one hand.
Gu Yutang looked at his seventh uncle helplessly, and could only hope that he would raise his noble hand and let himself go. However, Gu Liming still pinched Gu Yutang's little face as if she didn't see Gu Yutang's eyes, and sure enough, she couldn't escape the fate of being pinched by her uncle and uncle in this life, which was really uncomfortable.
Mrs. Lin didn't want the ugly things of Gu Lichi and the Yang family in her family to spread out, so even if it was her own family, she didn't tell the truth in the end. "Wenshan has been doing good business in Sanqi in recent years, and your eldest brother went to Wenshan to investigate. Something happened to the grange where your sister-in-law married, and she went down to deal with it, and Yuli was sick and kept at home, so I brought Sister Tang here. ”
"Why don't you see Brother Bai of the second brother's family, I heard that he is also a big fat boy, and he is still the demon king of the family, which often makes the second brother and sister-in-law angry." Gu Liming asked again.
Gu Yutang felt that Gu Liming seemed to have 100,000 whys? East asks a question, West asks a question, just like a problem teenager.
"Brother Bai'er! When we passed by the front yard just now, he found a group of butterflies in the front yard, but he was afraid that he was still fluttering butterflies. Old Lady Lin sighed.
"Brother Bai is still a child, children are playful by nature, as long as the eldest aunt is carefully raised, he can still be like the eldest brother, a jinshi, and glorify the lintel of my family."
"Brother Bai has reached the age of enlightenment, I want to find a teacher to enlighten, but your second aunt is reluctant, even if I have the ability to reach the sky, I have no problem with your second aunt." Mrs. Lin said and sighed again.
Her second aunt, Lord Liang, was born in an unusual place, with the blood of the royal family flowing in her body, and Brother Bai was her heart, how could she be willing to give Brother Bai to the Lin family to upbring? So this matter is over.
Gu Yutang looked at the two who wanted to continue, and interrupted: "Seventh Uncle and Grandmother continue to talk like this, I'm afraid that Grandmother Feng will be in a hurry." In order to stop Gu Liming from pinching her face, she had to interrupt Gu Liming and Lin's talk.
