Chapter Forty-Three: Mobao
Gu Jinxian and Ye Liang had dinner at the Jin Dynasty, and then walked to the wing room in the outer courtyard, where they rested for the time being, and then went to Xicui Mountain with Gu Dezhao tomorrow to sweep the tomb.
When he arrived at the wing, Ye Yuan pushed open the window of the study and looked at the locust tree full of new leaves outside and pondered.
Gu Jinxian walked around and came to talk to him.
"Uncle, why do I think you're a bit targeting the lobby sister?"
Ye Liang said without replying: "I didn't target her." β
Gu Jinxian walked up to him and wanted to admonish him: "Although the lobby sister has a bad reputation outside, I think those are all fallacies, we have met the lobby sister a few times, and I think she has a gentle personality and is knowledgeable." If you want me to say, it's much better than the average lady of the family......"
Ye Liang snorted: "You've only met her twice, so you're sure?" Uncle and nephew, if you are so gullible in the future, you will definitely be played to death by others. He reached out and patted Gu Jinxian's shoulder.
Gu Jinxian stared at Ye Liang for a long time, and couldn't spit out a word on his lips.
Mother said that Changxing waited for the old man to have a son, and he loved his uncle very much. Almost to the point where Ye Liang said that the people of the Eastern Mansion would not dare to go west, plus he was born frail and sickly, and he was released to wander around when he saw that he had recovered from his illness over the years, and his family took pity on him even more. He likes his uncle's casualness and gets closer to him, and others avoid him like a femme fatale...... Now he understands why others avoid him like a femme fatale!
He's a femme fatale!
"You...... The last time you were in our house, you also took someone else's Jinpa to blame her, if you didn't make it clear at the time, the reputation of the lobby sister would be over. Besides, today, other people's kittens are sleeping under the porch, you can tease it, and it hurt the cat...... It's because the lobby sister is well-educated that she is not angry, if it is another young lady, you have to cry endlessly and ask you to compensate! Gu Jinxian was a little excited, and he didn't speak very politely.
Ye Liang explained very blandly: "I was really helping her ...... that time"
"Help! What kind of help are you! Gu Jinxian didn't choose to speak.
Ye Liang sighed and added: "Actually, I didn't want to hurt that cat so badly, just a little punishment for it, you know that my subordinates can't handle it well......"
Gu Jinxian listened to his explanation, and his face finally improved: "Since it wasn't intentional, then you apologize to others, the lobby sister's cat was indeed hurt because of you...... Even if you don't apologize, you can at least do something to compensate others."
Ye Quan continued: "Actually, don't be deceived by her, where is your lobby sister as gentle as she seems, she is scheming, she knows how to press without sending, and she is a person who can do great things......"
Gu Jinxian said with a headache: "Uncle, don't tell me this, you can apologize to your cousin!" β
Ye Liang looked at him silently again, and finally nodded reluctantly: "Okay, I know, you go out first." β
He threw the man out of the study, and continued to stand alone in front of the window in contemplation.
It wasn't until the evening that Bai Yun brought the cat back.
Hug Pu curled up in the basket, his front paws wrapped in bandages, causing it to be unable to lick its wounds even if it wanted to, it was anxious and uncomfortable, and kept screaming.
"I used medicine and bandages. The little maid in the stable said that although its injury did not reach the bone, it would not affect the ability to walk and jump in the future, but it would definitely be difficult to move in the past few days...... Bai Yun said.
Jin Chao could only sigh, she couldn't do anything about Ye Quan, she could only reach out and touch Pu Pu to comfort it. But now it was very wary of people, and when it felt Jin Chao's hand reaching out, it immediately shrank into the pile of cotton cloth.
Jin Chao could only let Bai Yun take the cat down and change it to a softer cushion cloth, so as not to touch the wound.
"Miss, Mother Tong wants to see you." Qingpu reported outside the curtain.
Tong's mother came in for tomorrow's Qingming business. In the past, during the Qingming Festival, the female dependents of the Gu family did not go to Xicui Mountain, and they knelt down to worship the ancestral ancestral hall at home. However, this time my father specially instructed that since the ancestral family sent the fifth lady and two cousins, it could be regarded as wanting to repair the relationship with them, and everyone went to Xicuishan together this time.
Aunt Song was already preparing wine and food, as well as ingots and paper money, and she sent someone over to say that if the Jin Dynasty was not busy, she could help her prepare for the sacrifices in the house. At most, it is a small thing such as offering melons and fruits, cooked food, and inserting wicker.
Tong's mother still felt strange: "Aunt Song always likes to bring your ...... when doing things"
Jin Chao smiled, she didn't think it was strange. I instructed Tong's mother to explain the things in charge everywhere and prepare the things.
When I got up early the next morning, Jin Chao still dressed like yesterday. A few girls took pestles, snacks, fans and other objects, and followed Jin Chao to the shadow wall.
There were six blue-curtained carriages parked in the shadow wall, and the little guy stood in front with the reins. It was still early, and the thin sunlight sprinkled on the concave and convex reliefs on the shadow wall, but there were already people standing there, Jin Chao took a closer look, and found that it was Gu Lan and Ye Quan, Gu Jinxian, and a group of girls and scholars who surrounded them.
When Gu Jinxian saw her first, he said happily: "The lobby sister is here!" "Pull her over and talk.
Gu Lanzheng said to Ye Quan: "I heard that my cousin went to Ciguang Temple to see the monkeys yesterday......
Ye Quan said lightly: "It's Jinxian who wants to see it...... Nor did they go up the mountain. β
Gu Lan was wearing an eggplant-colored Yingluo pattern satin shirt with eight light green Hunan groups, looking radiant. She didn't bother Ye Quan's love at all, and continued to smile: "I also go to Ciguang Temple often, but I don't like to see monkeys. I heard that the monks of the temple kept it for pilgrims to see, and it was fat and chubby, and it hid in a cage and remained motionless unless you had to feed it......"
Ye Liang didn't pay much attention to it, and hummed casually. Then his eyes turned to Gu Jinchao and said to her, "You came too slowly. β
Gu Lan also saw Jin Chao coming over, and after greeting Jin Chao, he smiled and didn't say anything more, and got into his carriage.
Gu Jinchao looked at his second sister until the muslin curtain of the carriage closed. She still wants to fight the idea of Changxing and waiting for the world, can she please others? She felt that ignoring a person like Ye Liang was the biggest flattery to him.
Ye Liang told her: "Sister Ling is really good at talking. β
Jin Chao smiled: "She just thinks that she is in love with her cousin." β
Ye Quan laughed and stopped talking.
Gu Jinxian desperately glanced at him, he apologized for the apology he said yesterday, he couldn't forget it after a sleep!
Ye Liang was sluggish, and the saw-mouth gourd was silent for a long time, and he turned his head to see the unicorn carved on the shadow wall stepping on the clouds. Jin Chao didn't want to stand here, father, they should be coming out, it was better to go to the car and wait. She was about to turn around and get into the car, but Ye Liang grabbed her sleeve again.
A long scroll slipped out of his cuffs, and Ye Liang placed it in her hand.
Gu Jinchao asked him suspiciously, "What is this?" β
Ye Liang replied simply: "Mobao." After a pause, he added, "My painting is for you to apologize." β
Gu Jinchao laughed and laughed, how could he send his own paintings to apologize to others! He is not a master of calligraphy and painting, Jiangnan celebrities, his paintings can be worth a few dollars, it is better to dump the Persian cat for her!
Gu Jinxian also smiled.
Ye Quan looked at them very strangely, and said slowly: "Sending gold and silver is too cheesy, sending jade is too hypocritical, and sending goodbye is not worthy of the identity of our cousin and niece, I think that my calligraphy and painting are the most suitable." β
Gu Jinxian leaned next to Jin Chao: "Cousin, open it up and take a look, I want to know what he painted." β
Jin Chao didn't want to tear down the painting in front of Ye Quan, if the painting was extremely ugly, he would lose face and hate himself. Helplessly, Gu Jinxian wanted to see it, so she unfolded the picture scroll, and two frolicking furball-like cats were drawn on it, fluttering butterflies under the melon vines.
The cat looks at the butterfly with its head sideways, vividly. There are also three words written next to the cat fun picture, which is not the pavilion style used by ordinary readers, but a neat and rigorous seal. The pen is powerful, but there is a kind of pale taste.
Ye Liang said: "I'll give you two cats to use as companions with yours." β
Jin Chao didn't know whether to be angry or laugh, she rolled up the picture and gave it to Qingpu next to her, and saluted: "Thank you cousin for your kindness, since you have your Mobao, Hupu is accompanied by a cat, I shouldn't blame you." β
After saying that, he ignored him and turned to the carriage.
Gu Jinxian leaned over and looked at him directly, and Ye Liang glanced at him: "What else are you going to do?" β
Gu Jinxian scratched his head and asked him: "Didn't you learn to paint with a bachelor of high, and you can draw so well...... "Bachelor Gao is a bachelor of Hanlin Academy, Ye Quan's grandfather, a rare longevity, and now he is more than seventy. Ye Limit didn't learn to paint, the Xixi at home is a proud protΓ©gΓ© of the high bachelor, and now Shi Yuan, the Shaoqing of the official residence in Dali Temple, teaches him, he is three days of fishing and two days of drying nets.
"What's so hard about tracing things!" Ye Quan stopped talking to him and turned around and got into the carriage.
Gu Jinxian thought for a while, and then said: "Don't talk about the problem of painting, are you apologizing!" β
