488 Making Friends
Xiaocai took back the gift items written by Jia Xibei's grandmother from Jia's house, and introduced two dim sum shops near Gao's house, saying that if you are busy and don't win, you can go there to buy them.
Gao Cui packed two bamboo baskets of home-cooked food and asked Jia Xibei and Yuqingwa to take home for the family to taste.
After they said goodbye, Gao Zhao took the list to find his aunt, called Yu, and read her several snacks on the list, Yu said that she would make two, Gao Zhao asked her to prepare these two, and be sure to rush out more than a dozen copies tomorrow morning.
The Gao family's house is in the west of the city, called Xishao Hutong, which is a road and laneway into it, and then extends on both sides, with a total of five lanes that can be extended, and Gao's house turns left at the second lane, which is an alley called Willow Lane, and there are about six or seven families extending on both sides of each lane.
This area looks very neat and quiet, Gao Zhao hasn't been out a few times, but he almost didn't see any idlers when he went out.
The two brothers are currently at home, and they will be different from those in Wucheng County when they come to Beijing. In the past, there were few brothers who walked into the door when they went home, most of them were when you chased me in, and sometimes when I went to the backyard, I also shouted that the eldest sister rushed in.
Coming here to enter and go out are all rules and regulations no one asks them let happy rong said that he didn t dare to speak out involuntarily although there was no one standing around the door, but he had to behave up.
After dinner in the evening, when the family was talking together after dinner, Gao Wenlin said that he had found a good academy for his son, which was in the west of the city.
There are two official academies in the capital, one is in the east of the city, called Yueling Academy, and the other is in the west of the city, called Songshan Academy.
Gao Zhao was also about to ask his father about this matter today, but he didn't expect it to be done, it was really easy for someone in the court to do things.
"It's good that this big deal is solved, tomorrow morning, my aunt and I will go to the neighborhood to send house gifts, so that we can get to know each other. Today Jasibe came to say that her grandmother wanted to invite her mother to be a guest, and I pushed it, saying that I would not go out this year, and that I would just take care of my temperament so that I could be a quiet lady. ”
Gao Zhao sat upright, and kept smiling after speaking, Gao Wenlin's eyes showed suspicion, Gao Cui nodded vigorously, Jiang smiled with satisfaction, Qiaoyun glanced at the eldest sister, and lowered his eyes. A sentence that her eldest sister once said came out of her heart: Whoever believes is a fool!
"Zhao'er housekeeper is perfect, and if you don't talk when you go out, it's also perfect, and then change this fast mouth in the future, and change this love to jump, that is perfect!" Gao Cui's expression indicated that she said these words sincerely, without a little exaggeration.
The thick-skinned Gao Zhao was a little embarrassed at this time, but he was also moved, this is true love! When my brother also had such true love for me, I was satisfied.
Thinking of my senior brother, I also remembered that he hadn't been here twice for a while, what was this busy, I always said that I would tell you when the time came, when was the time!
The next day, Gao Cui and Gao Zhao Qiaoyun went to give gifts to the neighbors, and Wu Yuma gave a list in advance, which family did the neighbors live in and what they did, Gao Zhao looked at it in advance, and knew that next to it was Dr. Leak's house in Qin Tianjian, Dr. Yan lived here with his two sons, and his grandson also got married.
Gao Zhao muttered in his heart, maybe he and his grandfather can become friends and walk together.
Several families in the neighborhood are also about the same, and there is an ancestor who was a Hanlin, and now he has long been down, but fortunately, he has not sold the house, but the descendants have not risen and have not taken the wrong path.
Gao Zhao knocked on the door of Dr. Yan's house first, and after the porter opened the door and asked who it was, he immediately replied to the master, and returned after a while to take them into the second door.
Gao Cui was a little nervous, she walked in front with her head, and the Gao Zhao sisters followed.
Entering a courtyard, the person who received them was an old woman, estimated to be about sixty years old, kind and kind-eyed, listening to Gao Cui's introduction as Mrs. Gu, she was surprised, and immediately replied to her look, beckoned with a smile, pulled Qiaoyun and praised her, and gave Gao Zhao a meeting gift.
Gao Cui tactfully explained that it was inconvenient for her younger siblings to go out if they were pregnant, and Mrs. Yan immediately said that she would let her daughter-in-law go to Gao's house tomorrow to send gifts and visit Mrs. Gao.
In this morning, I visited all seven houses in Willow Lane, received a warm reception, and said that they would send back gifts another day, and they were also surprised by Gao Cui, and they were congratulated after listening to the explanation.
However, I muttered in private that the Gao family's inner house was decided by this aunt's wife, Gao Cui's appearance was tall and neat, who had such an aunt's wife, and the housewife should not be angry.
Mrs. Yan, who was just received by the Yan family with her mother-in-law, thought so.
"The daughter-in-law sees that this Gao family has no rules, even if the housewife is pregnant, but the eldest lady is in harmony, she can come out to socialize on behalf of her mother, and she can still let an aunt and wife come forward? With such an aunt wife, it is difficult for the daughter-in-law of the Gao family to be a daughter-in-law. ”
Mrs. Yan's face was cold, she thought that her daughter-in-law was targeting her daughter, because her daughter rejected her eldest daughter-in-law's marriage a while ago, and she knew that her daughter-in-law was a little resentful.
"I don't think so, this aunt and wife look timid, at first glance, she has never been out, but the two little ladies look calm, I heard that the Gao family is from Wucheng County, and it was a master book before, and the wife married from the countryside, and it is good to be able to raise such two little ladies."
Mrs. Yan looked at her eldest daughter-in-law and sighed, this daughter-in-law is not crooked, but she is a little lacking in heart, and she gave birth to a daughter, who is still the youngest, the same as her mother.
Gao Cui's aunt and nephew went home and told Jiang about the situation in the neighborhood.
"Brother and sister, don't worry, just like in Wucheng County, they are all good people, the old lady Yan next door is kind, and she looks the same as Mrs. Qian."
Gao Zhao: Obviously the same as the sixth old lady of the Qian family, my aunt just looked at people and smiled, why didn't she see the light in her eyes?
Qiaoyun: The innermost yard is the largest, and there is a little lady who wants to be friends with her.
"Mother, they all said to send back gifts, the Yan family said that they would come tomorrow, and when the mother received them, they also got to know them, and they all worked in the court, and they could also hang out or something when they got acquainted with each other, and my sister will also get along with little sisters when she arrives."
"Mother, can I send a post to the little lady of the Tao family to invite her to come to the house to play?"
Gao Zhao was surprised, the Tao family was the ancestor of Hanlin, and now he is down, except for the big house, the other people who obviously look very poor.
The person who received them just now was an old woman and a thin woman, very thin, with a little lady, looking younger than her sister, I don't know how my sister met her, this is never a thing, that is, in Wucheng County, Miao Jinju also got along a few times before making friends.
Jiang said gently: "Okay, you write your own post, and invite you to play at our house then." ”
