Chapter 41: Holding Pu
His mother's illness was repeated, and Jin Chao was even more vigilant about his mother's diet.
The meals cooked in the small kitchen were all cooked by her own eyes, and they were given to her mother only when they were mild and nourishing. Aunt Song was no longer busy serving her father, and went to serve her mother's sickbed, and Jin Chao didn't say anything. In private, he found the girl from Xiexiao Garden to come over and told Aunt Song to report to her no matter what she said to her mother.
As for the food she brought, it was all read by Mother Xu's mother, so there should be no problem.
She herself asked Dr. Liu for a few good medicinal foods to make for her mother. Her craftsmanship is good, the medicine is bitter and the taste is not pleasant, and it is much better when it is made into a medicinal diet, and my mother has eaten more, and the cough has been somewhat reduced after a few days.
Jin Chao breathed a sigh of relief.
Mother Xu disliked her coming every day, and specially asked her to go back to rest: "...... Don't worry, the slave knows how to do it! ”
Ji Shi saw that Jin Chao's originally round chin had been reduced a little, and his eyes looked dark and faint, which made him even more distressed.
The two masters and servants drove her back to Qingtong Temple.
Jin Chao had no choice but to go back, and asked Qingpu to move a chaise longue and put it under the corridor, and she sat in the courtyard to blow the wind.
The cat could barely walk, and its basket was placed under the porch. The cat spun around the nest a few times, came out of the basket on short legs, and walked tremblingly to the railing, and fell with its round body, and snuggled up to the sun-soaked black lacquered wooden stake.
Yutong and Yuzhu both like this cat very much, and they both take care of it on weekdays, and the Jin Dynasty has never taken care of it.
Jin Chao looked at it for a while and thought it was funny, and the kitten lay next to the pillar and didn't move, occasionally leaning down and licking its paws. Yuzhu saw it, so he took out a handful of dried fish from his purse to tease it, and the kitten stretched out his head to bite, if he couldn't bite it, he didn't care, and lay back and continued to doze off.
"Miss, look how lazy it is!" Yuzhu said with a smile, "You give it a name, and when you listen to its name in the future, it will also know that it is calling it, so maybe it won't be so lazy." ”
Jin Chao smiled and named the kitten and puppy, that was when a little girl would do it, she wouldn't ...... Thinking about it, she was stunned, she was only fifteen years old. She stood up and reached out to tease the cat, which flipped over and spread out her belly to tickle it.
Jin Chao said: "It's better to call it Baopu." ”
Yuzhu tilted his head: "It sounds very strange, we named the cats, they are all rhubarb or little white ......"
In "Lao Tzu", it is said that seeing simplicity and simplicity is less selfish.
Jin Chao felt that he should be calm, and his mother's illness could not be urgent. It's better for this cat, basking in the sun calmly, waiting for someone to feed it.
Zefu walked over from the verandah.
"Miss, the fifth lady of the ancestral family, the eldest young master, and the second young master have come to our house. I'm in the outer courtyard right now. She whispered.
Jin Chao thought about it, it was reasonable for the fifth lady to come to visit his mother, what did those two cousins do?
Cai Fu said again: "Tomorrow is Qingming, I heard that the two young masters went to the mansion to ask the master to go to Xicui Mountain tomorrow to sweep the tomb and worship." ”
The rules of the ancestral family, every year the day after the Qingming to the ancestors to sweep the tomb, although the father has less contact with the ancestral family over the years, but the tomb sweeping of the Qingming is also to go, otherwise it is to turn his back on the ancestors, that is a big unfilial thing.
"The slave maid also found out, followed by the younger brother of the fifth lady, the son of Changxing Houfu."
When Jin Chao heard that Changxing was waiting for the prince, he almost sat up from the chaise longue. "What did he come to do, this is just clear! How not in your own home. ”
Tsefu was surprised that the young lady reacted so much, and replied: "The slave doesn't know, this is still from the people in the attendant's office." ”
That little Hades actually came to her house!
Ye Liang later leaned towards the government and the opposition, but he had a perverse personality, he would kill whoever he wanted, without panting, if the Gu family treated him badly and provoked him, he would not let him take the Gu family in the future!
Gu Jinchao thought about it again and again, and felt a little headache, she hadn't even seen Ye Quan's face in her previous life, and she didn't know how to get in touch with him in this life.
She told Qingpu to wash her, and when the fifth lady was going to her mother's place, she would definitely want to see her.
Jin Chao personally pointed out a water-blue satin coat, a plain white threaded skirt, no makeup on his face, and two plain silver inlaid emerald lotus hairpins on his temples. This dress looks extremely plain, she looks delicate, and her clothes should be matched with more delicate ones. Qingpu originally followed Mother Song, who was next to her grandmother, to learn this, and at a glance, she knew that the young lady was so picky, although she didn't say anything, she secretly attached importance to Changxinghou's son.
After a while, the Moyu girl came to report, but instead of inviting her to the Xiexiao Garden, she was invited to the flower hall of Juliu Pavilion.
The flower hall had already set up a table and served tea, melons and fruits and snacks, the fifth lady and Aunt Luo were talking, and Aunt Guo and Aunt Du were sitting around. Father was talking to Gu Jinxiao, the lobby brother, but he didn't see Ye Limit and Gu Jinxian.
"We're coming to my sister, come to the fifth aunt!" The fifth lady, Ye Shi, smiled and welcomed Jinchao to sit beside her.
Jin Chao saluted the Ye family, and then asked his father to say goodbye, and called Gu Jinxiao 'Brother Lobby'.
"The eldest sister is finally here, and we are talking about you." Gu Lan smiled and took her hand, and said affectionately, "But hiding in the house is lazy?" ”
The corners of Jin Chao's mouth curled, pulling her like this, Gu Lan didn't think he was uncomfortable. She also covered Gu Lan's hand with a false gesture, and said with a smile: "It's not that I'm lazy, it's just that the second sister knows that my mother has been in poor health recently, and I've been waiting for me to be busy." ”
She came late, and when Gu Lan said this, the Ye family might think that she had neglected her.
…… However, Gu Lan's speed is really fast, and Gu Xi and Gu Yi haven't come yet.
Ye didn't mind at all, but asked about Ji's condition with concern: "...... During the Chinese New Year, your grandmother remembered it and asked me to come and see it, but the day before yesterday I heard that your mother was seriously ill, and she was even more anxious for me to prepare something and rush over. I don't know if it's going to ease up now? ”
Jin Chao nodded and said, "It's been much better recently, I'm awake every day, and my appetite is good." ”
Russell smiled softly beside him: "It's still the eldest lady who forgets to sleep and eat, otherwise Madame's illness won't get better so quickly." ”
Gu Lan's face was not good for a while, but he immediately continued: "Every time I go to visit my mother, I see the eldest sister and Aunt Song waiting, and it is really not easy, if I am not good at serving people, I can't wait to serve my mother day and night......"
The fifth lady refugee wanted to answer her: "Your mind is enough...... I don't care about that. ”
Gu Lan stood up and handed Ye Shi fresh cherries: "...... The fifth aunt also tasted the cherries produced in Nanjing Linggu Temple, which was the most watery and sweet. ”
Ye Shi thanked and took it, and Gu Lan also took the opportunity to sit next to her, and asked casually: "I heard that cousin Jinxian also came with you on this trip, but I don't know where the people went......
Ye Shi smiled: "Where is he who can sit still, and he and his uncle went to Ciguang Temple in Shi'an County to buy incense." ”
Jin Chao felt puzzled, Ye Quan still believed in Buddhism? He did those things like a person who believed in Buddhism.
She was thinking so in her heart, but Gu Lan had already asked, "Does my cousin also like Buddhism?" I read more scriptures at home on weekdays, and maybe I can ask for a sentence or two. ”
Ye Shi smiled and shook his head: "...... He hates these the most, saying that he can't believe in cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods, and he doesn't even want to go to the tomb sweeping at home, I don't listen to what I say, and when he goes back this time, he has to be taught a lesson by his father. It was Gu Jinxian who heard that Ciguang Temple had a group of monkeys, and he was very curious, so he had to take his uncle to take a look. ”
Jin Chao frowned lightly when he heard this, Qingming didn't go home to worship his ancestors, did Changxinghou just teach him a lesson? He is not afraid of being impeached by the imperial history...... Or the emperor is particularly tolerant of Changxing Houjia, and this prince is the object of the Changxing Houfu's doting. only to develop his character of having no one in his eyes and not abiding by etiquette.
Gu Lan stuck out his tongue: "I also think that Buddhism calms people's hearts, so I read more...... Cousin also likes monkeys? ”
"He doesn't like this. Animal Words...... He likes to raise things that don't grow hair. There are two big turtles and a group of koi fish in the celadon fish tank at home, and if I hadn't stopped him, he would have had to raise a few bamboo leaves bought from the market......
Gu Lan was puzzled: "Isn't Zhu Yeqing tea......
Ye Shi felt that her puzzled look was also cute, and laughed: "Where is tea, there are a few poisonous snakes with emerald green colors!" ”
Everyone laughed, but Jin Chao deliberately glanced at Gu Lan, she was wearing a goose-yellow persimmon pattern engraved silk shirt today, a deep and shallow green moonflower skirt, the wind blew like ripples, and she used gilt silver steps to shake her hairpin, and she wore a jade rabbit pendant on her earlobes. The face is as beautiful as jade and feminine.
Dress up very carefully.
A faint smile tugged at the corners of her mouth, and it would be funny if it was as she thought.
Ye said that Ye restricted the turtle: "...... I bought it from a peddler, and one of the turtles had words engraved on its shell. Ye Liang liked that one the most, and looked through his grandfather's book to find the meaning of this word, and when he walked, the turtle liked to follow him and walk slowly along the river, and we all thought it was strange......"
Everyone laughed again. Jin Chao thought that when the treacherous and suspicious minister was still young and raised turtles, it didn't seem so terrible...... After all, Ye Liang is only sixteen years old now, and his family is at its peak and has not changed, so he can't do those things.
