Chapter 41 The Lu family is happy
Gu Yao gave a three-month probationary period, but Le Yan didn't understand. When Hanxiang explained and said that if she didn't do well, she wouldn't be wanted in three months, and the little girl immediately looked like an alarm clock that had just been clockwork, making Gu Yao dizzy. Gu Yao ordered Han Xiang to teach Le Yan the basic rules within three days. Han Xiang took the little sister, and it was also the eldest girl who got on the sedan chair, for the first time in her life, two little girls who were not a few years apart, and they were serious and careless.
Standing under the eaves of the corridor, Gu Yao suddenly thought about the winter snow and the Meng family. has seen the Meng family's study, Gu Yao doesn't look down on her father's small study. The family affairs asked from Han Xiang's mouth were not troublesome, Gu Yao had to find something to do for himself - continue to write.
After making up his mind, Gu Zhixian went down, Gu Yao pestered him, and he was coquettish for a while, Gu Zhixian not only promised to change the south room into a study, but also went to do it immediately! personally led Gu Xi to the alley of Xinghua Temple, carried back a case and two bookshelves, and picked a group of four seasons hanging paintings from his inner study, and simply arranged a study for Gu Yao.
The study room was already in place, and Gu Zhixian said with a smile: "I heard that your handwriting is good, but my father hasn't seen it yet."
Gu Yao smiled, put down his pen, and said, "What did Zheng Shizi say?"
"Where has Daddy seen him? Said by a colleague. However, the source of this word is indeed the Marquis of Wu'an. ”
While speaking, Gu Yao had stopped writing, one Gu character, left and right two ways to write, Gu Zhixian looked at it, and was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth.
It is strange to say that the Marquis of Baoding takes a fancy to his daughter's granddaughter who only recognizes the words - the regular script of his little daughter, indeed, too good! Gu Zhixian's own book, so he knows more about Kai. A Gu in black and white, he wrote from childhood to adulthood, Gu, it turned out to be really beautiful, so suitable for practice - regular, arbitrary, and deep pen power.
To have such a word, one is talent, and the other is hard work, both of which are indispensable. The hard work during the period is self-evident. Looking at Gu Yao's bright eyes, Gu Zhixian thought of the promise he had made, a promise that had long been a promise that was not a promise......
Gu Yao didn't know what he was thinking, but he just remembered something: "My aunt seems to have read a lot of books, and Qin Niang is also literate and hyphenated, all of which were taught by my father?" ”
"Your aunt was taught by her father, and Qin Niang would have been."
Gu Yao asked again: "Can my mother be literate?" ”
Gu Zhixian said: "She naturally doesn't recognize it." The Gu family started from the end of Weimo, several daughters-in-law, only your three aunts are from a scholarly family. Your third aunt is our little junior sister, she is the pearl of Xie Shanchang's palm, and she asked your third uncle to marry back. ”
Before the father and daughter finished talking about Taikang's old story, Han Xiang came over and said to Gu Yao: "There is a little girl named Song Haitang who brought a few baskets of persimmons and said that the girl wanted them." ”
"I want it. I'll take a look, Daddy, you wait for me for a while. ”
Gu Zhixian was anxious to get acquainted with his daughter, so he naturally followed. Gu Yao saw it and acquiesced in what he was following.
In addition to persimmons, Song Haitang steamed a lot of chicken cakes in the morning, made a total of three pots, the first two were flawed, they left it to eat by themselves, only brought the last one, a total of more than a dozen, each is the size of a wine cup. There was really no other utensils, so she had to use wine cups to make molds.
Gu Yao wrapped it in a handkerchief, twisted one and tasted it slightly, nodded with satisfaction, twisted another one with Gu Zhixian, and said: "Eat one quickly, let my grandfather taste it, we can't eat it." ”
The girl was partial to herself, and Gu Zhixian was so happy that she learned from Zhu Bajie, swallowed the small cake in one bite, and forgot to taste it.
Gu Yao was speechless for a while.
Gu Zhixian asked Song Haitang where he was from, and Song Haitang replied: "Ruanjiazhuang." ”
Gu Zhi turned around and said to Gu Yao: "But it just so happens that our family's field is on their Zhuangzi." When summer comes, Dad will take you there to escape the heat. ”
In Song Haitang's envious eyes, Gu Yao replied yes.
Five baskets of persimmons totaled 222 catties, and Song Haitang gritted his teeth and wiped the change: "Just give me two hangings and 200 yuan." ”
Gu Zhixian saw that she was only a little older than her own daughter, and she was alone, so she felt pity and asked her carefully: "Do you want money or silver?" ”
Song Haitang thought for a while and said, "If it's convenient, pay me two taels of silver and two hundred dollars." ”
Gu Zhixian instructed the little servant: "Take three taels of silver and two hundred coins to her." ”
Song Haitang hurriedly said: "Thank you, sir, you don't need to give more!"
Gu Zhixian said with a smile: "I didn't give much, but the extra money was the money for this pastry." ”
Thinking of the things he wasted, Song Haitang no longer shirked, and only said: "Those few pieces are not worth it, I'll make some more at home and send them tomorrow." ”
Gu Zhixian saw that she was neither humble nor arrogant, and she was very good at getting things done, and after Song Haitang left, he said to Gu Yao: "Yao'er is lucky, that girl is one in a hundred." ”
"Although I am lucky, the people who were full of people on the street yesterday only picked her, which proves that my daughter's vision is really good."
Gu Zhixian became interested and asked her, "How do you know that she is good?" ”
She is in rags, which shows that life is not easy, but she has no shame in her speech, and she is not angry at all, she can only be open-minded. Those who are not beaten by difficulties will surely defeat difficulties. ”
Gu Zhixian was surprised by his daughter's maturity, and couldn't help but feel dissatisfied with her father.
When the sun was falling, Old Man Gu and Meng Xuan's uncle and nephew returned. Except for Old Man Gu, the remaining teenagers, including Meng Xuan, all drank too much, and were helped back to the room after getting off the carriage, leaving Old Man Gu alone to sulk.
Today, he followed Meng Xuan to have a meal.
It's not that his official position is low, but that the people who were left by King Zhao are all young people who have not yet reached the crown. King Zhao is a boy with a square crown, and he loves to read, so it is reasonable to only make friends with a teenager like Meng Xuan. It's just that after reading the children of other people's families, and then thinking of his own family, Old Man Gu is depressed.
The son doesn't mention it, the eldest daughter-in-law of the grandchildren only gave birth to a son, and he is embarrassed to raise it himself; The two sons-in-law of the second son, the eldest is too poor, and the second is good, but he has a higher talent for reading. The second brother told him that he couldn't waste a good seedling, so he had to give up.
There are two grandsons left, and the second son is not necessarily an adult. The old family's concubine, he wanted to discipline him strictly, but no one cooperated, and his fists and feet were not up to par, let alone studying, alas...... A copy of the "Three Character Classic", which has not been memorized yet.
Only this one, Old Man Gu knew that his grandson was not good, it was better to raise his face than his granddaughter! Such a grandson, really brought out, it is not a long face, but it is a shame.
The more the old man thought about it, the more angry he became, and he almost threw the teacup again, but asked Gu Yao to stop him.
The person stopped, and before Gu Yao had time to ask the reason, someone from the back office came to report: "Girl, the prefect's wife sent someone from her side to see you."
Gu Yao was stunned for a moment and asked Han Xiang: "Didn't you say that we didn't have anything to do with the prefect?"
Han Xiang immediately swore: "I really have no contact, at least, the female dependents have no contact!"
Female ......
There are few women in Wanping County, where are the female dependents? Gu Yao thought so, and went to meet the people sent by the prefect.
"The Lu family has a happy event, I learned that Miss Gu's family was coming, and my wife learned that the girl was back, so I asked the slave to come and send a letter to the girl."
