When it comes to buying things for Ji Cang, the Jin Dynasty naturally has nothing to add. It's just a good way to join in the fun.

Wait until tomorrow, the bronzing wedding cards will be sent out one after another. The Ji family began the final preparations again. It was when it was snowing lightly, the house was decorated with lights, paper-cuts were pasted on the fans and windows, red gauze lanterns were hung everywhere, and the subordinates also changed into crimson armor or cotton robes.

The Jin Dynasty helped Ji Wu's seal the red, and the red paper wrapped the silver nude or a silver ticket of eleven taels to reward the girl with a face or the child who came to ask for peace. These days, there are many old relatives of the Ji family who have come from Baoding, as well as big businessmen who have good friends with the Ji family in Yanjing, and colleagues of the Ji family uncle and the second master of the Ji family. The guests are full of people, and it is very lively. You need to prepare some red seals.

The day before the greeting, Ji Cang and his party changed their clothes, and the people carried the whole pig and sheep in a red gold paint makeup box to Wanping Chen's house to urge makeup. Ji Cang was very awkward, but he was put on the horse by Ji Yun and An Songhuai.

And the Ji family began to build sheds, test stoves, and invite relatives and friends who came to congratulate.

It was at this time that Gu Dezhao came over, bringing a gift of five hundred taels of silver, another red coral bonsai, and a pair of mutton fat jade like jade. After saluting at the back office, he talked to Uncle Ji again, and came to see Ji Wu.

When Ji Wu saw him, he thought of Ji's death, and naturally he didn't have a good face.

In the end, the little servant came to call him and said that the uncle invited him over to eat and drink. He got up to say goodbye, and said to Gu Jinchao: "After eating, you don't have to rush back in a hurry, but you have to rush before Layue." He paused again: "Honor your grandmother!" ”

Gu Jinchao said goodbye to him: "You go to have a bar with your uncle." Just enough to help out. "Many guests and friends are either rich or expensive, and the Ji family has to be cautious, but there are not many men in the Ji family. Ji Cang and Ji Yun also went to make up. Now Uncle Ji and Ji Yao are entertaining in the outer courtyard.

As soon as Gu Dezhao came out of the East Cross Courtyard, Mrs. Xu brought Xu Jingyi over.

Ji Wu asked the girl to come over with a pestle. He took Mrs. Xu's hand very enthusiastically and spoke. "Just wondering when you're coming! We'll have a table here in a while, so as not to go to the west courtyard to crowd. Mrs. Xu also smiled, but she couldn't hide her sadness. Ji Wu glanced at Xu Jingyi again, but looked at her with red eyes, as if she had cried.

Ji Wu's voice lowered: "Sister Yi'er, what is this?" ”

Mrs. Xu sighed, feeling that it was really difficult to say: "It's not for Sister Yi'er's marriage, I heard that the sister-in-law of the Luo family is an indiscretion, and the girls in that room are all open-faced, forget it, yesterday his carriage walked on Qingfengfang Road." There was a guy in front of him who blocked his car and didn't have time to get out of the way. The sister-in-law of the Luo family rushed out of the carriage and was a whip, beating people to the point that half of their lives were lost."

Gu Jinchao raised his head when he heard this, it turned out that the Xu family knew about the Luo family.

Knowing that he still married his daughter, it was clearly desperate

Ji Wu's family already knew what kind of person this Luo family's sister-in-law was, and he also felt a little helpless: "Their family is like that, it is crooked at all, and the seedlings that grow are not the same as the old sister, if you listen to me, no one can marry someone from the Luo family!" ”

Mrs. Xu couldn't stop crying: "There's no way." Sister Yi'er will never marry again, so she can only be an aunt at home. She doesn't have a brother-in-law, and you don't know who will support her when I'm old in the future. Now it's rumored everywhere that our sister Yi has a bad temperament, so I haven't been able to find my in-laws' family, I went to talk to Mrs. Luo, she seems to be like their family is still at a loss."

The bad thing is that Mrs. Xu didn't give birth to a son, and Xu Jingyi couldn't marry for the rest of her life.

Mrs. Xu wiped her tears when she said this, and said with a smile: "This is the festive day of the old lady's family, how can I talk about this!" ”

Ji Wu was a little helpless, and said to Jin Chao: "Why don't you accompany Sister Yi to go outside, and I will say a few words to Mrs. Xu." ”

Jin Chao was also trying to go out for a walk. It was the time when the West Cross Courtyard was lively, and it was the day of the greeting. She can't get past it. took Xu Jingyi's hand and said with a smile: "Sister Yi'er, why don't you go to the West Cross Courtyard with me." A shed was erected over there. Let's go well, and we can get some food. ”

Xu Jingyi nodded and smiled at Jin Chao and thanked him in a low voice.

She has a fair face, and although her facial features are not good-looking, she still smiles gently.

Jin Chao hadn't seen her smile much in his previous life.

The two took the girl to the West Cross Courtyard, and it was the time to open the banquet. The second aunt came to invite them to sit in the huā hall, and brought walnuts and huā stickers. Xu Jingyi looked at the scene of people coming and going outside, and felt a little distracted.

The second aunt smiled and said to them, "Today's cooking is a bird's nest mat, and there are two flavors. The salty one is stewed with shredded ham and bamboo shoots, and chicken juice. The sweet ones are stewed with rock sugar or steamed pigeon eggs. If you want to eat, I'll have someone bring it."

Some guests come a few days in advance, and the table may be different every day. But it is quite rare to make a bird's nest mat with so much money like the Ji family.

The second aunt went to ask someone to bring two bowls of sweet bird's nest up.

Xu Jingyi praised this bowl of bird's nest for being extremely well done, tender and smooth in the mouth, sweet but not greasy.

Gu Jinchao looked outside the huā hall, his uncle was greeting a person, that person looked a little familiar, she should have recognized it, but she couldn't remember it for a while. Seeing that the uncle is very respectful to this person, but that person is dressed like a guard, no matter how bad the uncle is, he also has an official position of the same governor, how can he be so respectful to a guard?

Gu Jinchao asked the second aunt, and the second aunt said, "It's someone from the Chen family, it seems to be Chen Ge's guard." The seven officials in front of the prime minister, these people can't be offended. ”

After saying a few words, the uncle's face became cautious. I found my second uncle again, and the two went to the front yard together.

Someone awesome is coming.

The second aunt took Jin Chao's hand and said with a smile: "It's better to take you to see your fourth cousin's new house, and it's boring to sit here." Why don't you go and see Miss Xu? ”

Xu Jingyi shook her head with a smile, it was not appropriate for her to go, just sit here for a while.

Gu Jinchao has not yet gone to see Ji Cang's new house. I only heard from my grandmother that it was very well decorated. left her mother-in-law here to accompany Xu Jingyi, and followed her second aunt to see Ji Can's new house.

Ji Cang's new house is next to Uncle Ji's house, a courtyard with three rooms and seven frames, and the verandah used to be the uncle's yard. In this courtyard, the window sash and corridor pillars were repainted with black paint, hung up, and replaced with a maule fan. Outside the leaky window, a plum huā that bloomed just right. The girl was busy in the yard, arranging lanterns with big red letters.

Jin Chao followed his second aunt to see the east corner room, which was renovated, and put a pile of lacquer nuts and thousands of workers pulling out wooden beds, red four happy ruyi pattern bed curtains, hanging gilt lotus huā flower with five-legged silver lavender furnace. The west room is covered with emerald blue four-season group huā happy satin mattresses, two east slope chairs, and a variety of huā bottle bonsai are placed on the Duobao Pavilion.

"This is the grandmother of the Chen family, who came to help with the arrangement." The second aunt pointed to a mother-in-law wearing a purple satin bikin, and the mother-in-law saluted the Jin Dynasty.

This mother-in-law is wearing a bracelet with bamboo patterns and red gold on her hand, and her conversation is not ordinary, she should be the nurse or housekeeper of Miss Chen's second lady. Come over to help decorate the new house, generally according to the habits of your own lady in her mother's house, so as not to live inconveniently.

This mother-in-law happened to have something to say to her second aunt and pulled her aside.

The Jin Dynasty took Qingpu out of the main hall, and it snowed lightly outside, and a layer of fluffy snow fell on the huā grass and trees outside the corridor. Qingpu handed the stove in his hand to Jin Chao, looking at the light snow outside, he was a little worried: "This snow is going to fall big."

Jin Chao shook his head: "I still don't need a hand stove, there should be a fire burning in the west room." Just go inside and have a look, and you can also get warm. "The west corner is the study, Ji Cang's habit is that in winter, the study is always warm, and he likes to read idle books. In the Jin Dynasty, several books on gold and stone appreciation were taken from him.

Jin Chao stepped into the study, and there was indeed a stove lit inside. A bookcase, several Duobao pavilions full of books, and a long table near the window, with incense burners and a cloisonné huā bottle. There is also a painting on the wall, which depicts the mountains and the rivers flowing eastward. Very atmospheric.

"It's so good for the slave to look at this painting, I didn't expect that in addition to the third young master who can paint, the fourth young master's painting is also so good." Qing Pu and Jin Chao talked.

Jin Chao laughed, "This is not like a painting by the fourth cousin, let him read the book, let him write, but it will be a headache!" ”

She still remembered that Ji Cang's original Mr. Xixi was an old scholar who retired from Hanlin, and taught several people in his life, and once said that Ji Cang was 'more than smart, but not enough diligent" Ji Cang was often scolded by Mr., but no matter how much he played, it was useless. The writing is average, and the painting is even more mediocre.

Jin Chao glanced at the inscription next to it, 'At a glance at the mountains'. It is used in the cabinet body commonly used by readers, which is neat and powerful, and it is atmospheric. You can't practice it without decades. Presumably he got the painting from some old pedant.

After reading it, Jin Chao said softly: "Although the painting is atmospheric, this kind of 'will be at the top of the mountain, a glance at the mountains' spirit, if it is placed on an ordinary reader, it seems too vain, I don't think it is as elegant as a painting of ink and bamboo." ”

After she said this, she heard a slight cough behind her, which seemed to be a man's voice. (To be continued)
