Chapter 18: The Mysterious Mr. Gao V

+++++++++++++++++++++ the dividing line of the mysterious Mr. Gao V

Estimating that it was time to wake up in the morning, the woman should go to see Mrs. Donald, and as a guest, she should also go to have fun, so she followed her grandfather to Mrs. Donald's courtyard again. Tang Lan and Tang Xinjie are here, but they don't see other women.

Tang Lan accompanied Mr. Gao to talk about some of the old people in the court, and the allusions to the border pass, but he did not touch on the topic of the abolished prince. It is also difficult for Mrs. Tang to come to the old lady's courtyard, Today it happened that she talked with Gao Lingmo with great interest, greeted Mrs. Gao warmly, and kindly chatted with Gao Lingmo about her favorite jewelry and clothes. I always feel that the girl who has been in and out of the capital and the palace is pleasing to the eye, knows how to please people, understands the fashion and elegance of the capital, unlike the niece of the Bai family, except for talking and laughing in front of the old lady on weekdays, she rarely speaks in front of others, and she doesn't know fashionable clothes and jewelry. The small family is ignorant, and Mrs. Tang despises her 120,000 points. But it's such a person, and he often blocks himself, seducing the boss and Xiao Jiu, and now he hooks up with the hateful third child, helping the third child check the accounts in Baicaotang, and kicks his nose more and more. Looking at Gao Lingmo's eyes at Xinjie, Mrs. Tang suddenly felt that she also had to block the little fox spirit, and couldn't let her go smoothly. The third child is a flower, with Miss Gao here, I'm afraid that she can't compare to an orphan girl?

Xinjie sat quietly next to the elders and listened to the conversation, politely answering some elders' inquiries from time to time. He is humble and elegant, and the answer does not lose his own insight, reflecting his knowledge and knowledge.

Gao Lingmo never felt that she was a water-based Yang Hua person, but at this moment her confidence in herself was a little shaken, and she seemed to be a little tempted by this man other than Brother Xiang. Soon she told herself that this was not an impression, it was an appreciation, and she felt that it would be very helpful for Brother Xiang to include such a man under Brother Xiang's command for his use.

Xinjie has seen a lot of women who are fascinated by him, but he thinks that Gao Lingmo is a woman who is rational and disdainful at first, and can even be said to look at him condescendingly, and then looks at him shyly and enviously. The vast majority of people will be attracted by his appearance, and at the beginning there is a look of surprise and shyness in his eyes.

"Virtuous nephew, I didn't see the third prince when I was the mediator for the third prince last time, I didn't know that your son was such an outstanding talent, it was really abrupt. If the old man had such an outstanding son, he would not casually hire a daughter-in-law for him, he had to choose from a thousand choices. ”

"Deqing Gong has a good reputation, but the dog is naughty and tight. And he has indeed made a marriage with his cousin, so he can only live up to the good intentions of the boss and Lord Wu. ”

"The virtuous nephew is polite, this is also Miss Wu's lack of this blessing. And from the old age's point of view, Tang Gongzi must be a woman with both talent and appearance to be worthy. ”

"Don't hide it from the boss, this daughter-in-law and little brother don't ask for Shih Tzu Diao, just for being gentle and virtuous, and it would be good if I could take care of my wild child."

Gao Lingmo saw that he heard others mention his fiancΓ©e, and his attitude was unremarkable, and Tang Lan didn't mention his talent, only mentioned gentleness and virtue, could it be that he couldn't make a move, and let out the wind first to pave the way? Also, most of the wives of this kind of people are married to a person who takes care of housework, respects their elders, and lives in the subordinate, often with mediocre appearance. Those who are good-looking are often considered by their elders to be too outstanding, not stable enough, and unable to be a housewife. Men are also willing to do as their elders will, and marry such women back home to serve their in-laws. Anyway, if you meet someone who looks good, you can also bring it back as a concubine after marriage, and if you have a noble family, you can be a flat wife. The Tang Lord in front of him is a precedent, and it is very possible for Tang Gongzi Xiao and his father. Thinking of the rumors that this woman had only accompanied the old lady in the village all these years, and lived in a simple house, he was even more convinced that this was stuffed to him by the elders.

Gao Lingmo herself is a well-known talented woman whether she is in the capital or in Xianyang City with her grandfather, and many Confucians have praised her poems and paintings, so she naturally feels that no one in the boudoir can excel in talent. And she is also quite conceited about her appearance, her grandmother is a well-known Zhongzhou peony, when she married Zhuangyuanlang, she envied countless people for her talented appearance. The mother has the appearance of a shy flower in the closed month, and has a weak and boneless demeanor, and the son of the high family who is courting in the capital has broken through the threshold, and finally the father is envious of the status of the Gao family, and concludes that his daughter will not hand her mother-in-law Qi Feng when she goes to this kind of scholarly place. Gao Lingmo inherited the advantages of her grandmother and mother, and she was quite a sinking fish. Although there are many beauties in the palace, Yixiang was really amazed when he saw Gao Lingmo standing among the azaleas in the palace for the first time, so he took the initiative to approach her. Now she is not afraid that the other party is a beauty, but she is afraid that the other party will not come out to compare with her, She believes that only when she stands together can she see superiority.

"I think this betrothed young lady must be outstanding, why don't you invite me to meet, so that Mo'er can also get to know one more sister. ”

Chen Biyan looked at the ancestors and grandchildren of the Gao family with a smile, she had experienced so much, where would she not be able to see through. Is this Mr. Gao unable to sit still? Or is Yixiang behind him finally unable to sit still? It stands to reason that both Yixiang and Yiyi are the grandsons of their sisters, but their qualifications and temperaments are too far apart, and even the people who plan under them are very different. The first emperor is really a childish person, In order to be angry with his sister, he must designate Yixiang, the eldest grandson, to succeed him before he breathes. At that time, Yixiang was already five years old, and his temperament and weakness had already appeared, but the first emperor ignored these, as long as he could fight against the Empress Chen. Ignoring the government and the people of the world, the people who escorted Yi Xiangxuan have gradually withered away over the years, and only Mr. Gao, who was placed in the dark, is still intact. If Gao Deqing hadn't been a wise person and didn't act rashly, he might have been cleaned up a long time ago. He has not been touched for so many years, and he also hopes that with Yixiang being demoted, he will sit back and watch rationally and save some manpower and material resources for the court to do what should be done. But it seems that the wishes are always good.

As Yiyi's right-hand man, Xinjie is not inferior to Mr. Gao, a veteran of the Three Dynasties, in terms of mentality, momentum, and insight, and the only thing that is inferior is Mr. Gao's reputation and status among Confucian students. Gao Lingmo's affection for Yixiang may not be known to outsiders, but the Queen Mother, who controls every move in the harem, does not know. With Lian'er leaving the palace to avoid disaster in Tangmen, and last summer, Mr. Gao gave up two lecture halls for online students in Jiangnan and Beijing and moved back to Xianyang's former residence, The Queen Mother has exchanged various details of the Gao family with her in detail. It is also possible that Mr. Gao wants to start with the Tang family, or separate the children of the Tang family, thereby weakening the strength of the queen mother.

Looking at Xinjie's disregard for Gao Lingmo's admiration, Chen Biyan is very satisfied that her grandson has become more mature and stable in the past few years. When Gao Deqing was waiting for the first emperor in the palace, Lian'er had not yet entered the palace, and the first emperor died, and Gao Deqing rarely entered the palace, and turned to wander between the court and the opposition Confucianism, accumulating contacts for Yixiang. In the years when Lian'er entered the south study to accompany the prince, Gao Deqing was lecturing in Jiangnan, convening protΓ©gΓ©s and students, and all forces in the network. Even if they saw Lian'er, they wouldn't recognize this as the former right-hand man of the Queen Mother's old man's side, but if they can't see it, they won't see it. It's hard for that girl's demeanor to not want to find out more about her background. She glanced at Tang Lan lightly, and Tang Lan immediately realized: "Miss Gao made fun of me, how can my cousin girl compare to Miss Gao's demeanor." I heard that Miss Gao's piano, chess, calligraphy and painting have won the praise of the old lady Gao in the palace, and she is a well-known talented woman in the Beijing girl. It's not like my girls are very vulgar. ”

Chen Biyan scolded with a smile: "How can you be such a father, looking down on your daughter so much." Our Xinyu is a good girl. Do you say that the girl followed me, and that I, the old woman, had taught your daughter badly? ”

She gave Chen Momo a look: "Go and see what Yu'er and the others are doing, and let them come out to talk to Miss Gao." Mama Chen naturally understood that this was to call Miss Yu and several young ladies of the family, not Miss Bai.

"Everyone says that the Tang family, whether it is a son or a young lady, can be literate and martial, unlike these weak scholars such as me, who have no power to restrain the chicken, so that Mo'er can make a few Tang family ladies, so that she can study hard. Now in Xianyang, just one of her juniors follows, and she is spoiled. If the old lady is willing, Deqing is willing to send Mo'er to you, please help**. ”

"The old man made fun of it." Chen Biyan put down the tea bowl and said with a smile: "But now everyone is in Kansai, and it is not far from the city, if the adults don't dislike it, they can let the girl come and walk around often, and have a companion." ”

When Gao Lingmo heard this, he stood up and walked to Chen Biyan's side and half-squatted, holding her arm affectionately: "Grandma Tang is the most kind and kind, if you don't dislike it, From now on, I will live in the village, talk to your old man, and teach me when your old man is free." ”

Chen Biyan doesn't like outsiders to touch her, let alone such a hypocritical person, which makes her feel a chill. But she still smiled softly without changing her face: "It's too late for the old woman to be happy, where can I dare to dislike it." Miss Gao doesn't dislike our country place. Hengzhu Deqing Gong now lives in this Xianyang, our Zhuangzi is not far from the city, and we will often come and walk when we have time in the future, and we can also let our children here see the demeanor of the emperor, and you will not hesitate to mention the children's knowledge. This obviously means that he values Mr. Gao's knowledge, so he made friends, and it has almost nothing to do with Gao Lingmo's set.

"I heard that all the sons of the Tang family are very outstanding, especially the four young people of the Tang family, all of whom are knowledgeable and brilliant. And the eldest son and the third son are even better. In addition to visiting the old lady and visiting Master Tang today, Gao also wanted to get to know the third prince and see our young talents today. Looking at such a brilliant character as the third prince now, it is far beyond my youth, which makes the old man envious. ”

"The younger generation is really embarrassed, the old gentleman still says that he is a new master, and the younger generation still has a lot of knowledge to ask Mr. for advice in the future." Do you want to set closely? He was also trying to get closer to observe this opponent.

"Okay, Xinjie. I heard that you have studied a lot in history and medicine, what classics have you studied recently? "Exams? Xinjie was a little depressed and ridiculed in his heart, could this be an ordinary way for Confucianism to interact with people? Is it because I have been in the rivers and lakes for a long time and don't know how to deal with these readers? But since he talks about what he's doing, he's going to have it at his fingertips.

After Lian'er discussed the matter of Luoyang with Xinjie and her grandmother at noon, she began to get busy. Xinjie also transferred his manpower in Luoyang Yuehuaxuan to her. One million 8,000,000 taels, you can do a lot of things. According to the records of Baicaotang, Xie Tang is the son of Mrs. Tang's companion Mrs. Xie. When he was young, he followed Tang Wen to be a long-term follower in Beijing, and then entered the branch hall of Baicaotang in Beijing, because of his outstanding performance, he was promoted to the branch master, in charge of Hanyang, and the Hanyang branch was tripled in three years, and transferred to Luoyang, where he was in charge of the largest branch of Baicaotang in addition to Gyeonggi Province. My father died five years ago, and I had a younger brother who died at an early age. His wife, Liu, from the Luoyang Poetry and Book Family, adopted a son at the age of six and a daughter at the age of eleven due to infertility. After the man adopted his son, his temperament became more somber and melancholy. This is quite rare. Xie shopkeeper's annual salary is rich, and there is also a five-cent dividend from the Luoyang branch every year. With such a high salary, it is difficult for anyone to take a risk. And it's a lot of money, even if it's a weapon, it's enough to pile up a hill.

The dinner menu in Tangzhuang is decent, most of them are local specialties and fresh food produced in Zhuangzi, and the guests and hosts have a good conversation. Several sisters of the Tang family came to accompany Gao Lingmo to dinner, but her attention was not on these women. But Mrs. Tang deliberately teased Gao Lingmo to speak, which was close to Xinjietao. If it's too obvious, its purpose is obvious. It was quite surprising to the sisters of the Tang family, when did Mrs. Tang look at Rejie so much?

Gao Lingmo is naturally not stupid, she can win the favor of her grandfather among the Gao sisters, when Yixiang can call the wind and rain, at various palace banquets and when he comes to visit his grandfather, he often accompanies him when he travels to Jiangnan, although there are grandfather's reasons, but Yixiang can promise to only marry the side concubine, and has always waited for the position of the concubine, not just by piano, chess, calligraphy and painting can win, she spent countless efforts to win. She knows when to seize the moment, and if she misses it, she doesn't have it anymore.

"Tang Gongzi, grandfather said that the Tang family's collection of books is the largest in the northwest, and many classic books are only afraid that they cannot be found in the palace. Mo'er heard that the lone book of the Xiangzhu word collection of the previous dynasty was treasured in the mansion. I heard that the third prince has added a lot to the collection of the house in recent years, and has collected a lot of good books and sent them back to the village for preservation. This time, Mo'er pestered her grandfather to visit with Mo'er just to see the treasures, I don't know if it's convenient? ”

"Xinjie, since Miss Gao likes it, why don't you take Miss Gao to the small study in the inner courtyard to have a look? Mo'er, don't you know, the third child in our family, don't look at wandering the rivers and lakes, but he is also a book lover, and every time he comes back from outside, he brings the classics collected from all over the world. He was reluctant to put many good books in the big study room in the outer courtyard, and they were all stored in the small study of his Zhufeng Pavilion. The brothers each occupied a room in the Bamboo Wind Pavilion. Everyone else's is gone, but in this new master's room, there are a lot of books, good and exquisite. ”

"Oh, that's it, Brother Xinjie," when did you call yourself a brother, Xinyu listened to Gao Lingmo's title with disdain, but people are guests, and she is not familiar with her, so it is difficult to say anything, so I just heard Gao Lingmo continue: "Can you take me there now, I really can't wait to see your treasures." ”

Xinjie glanced at Mrs. Tang gloomily, at this time Lian'er was dealing with things in the main hall of the Bamboo Wind Pavilion. She deliberately found Lian'er and him unhappy.
