Chapter 69: Jade Screen
Aunt Song's hands were clasped together, put them in her sleeves, and she also walked over with a smile.
Jin Chao stood up and saluted: "This is natural, not only me, Sister Xi and Sister Yi have also prepared birthday gifts, you have to take a good look." ”
A few people were talking, and there was a rumor outside: "Master, the second lady is here." ”
Gu Lan came in, followed by the little guy who was carrying the screen, with a gray cloth on it, and he couldn't see what was inside.
She saluted one by one with a smile and said to Jin Chao: "The eldest sister and the two younger sisters came so early, but I was too lazy to sleep." ”
Jin Chao didn't say anything when he smiled, Gu Yi and Gu Xi didn't say anything when they saw Jin Chao, so naturally they just saluted and didn't speak.
Gu Dezhao sat down and said, "Sister Chao brought a birthday gift, I want to see it." He didn't pay attention to Gu Lan's meaning.
Gu Jinchao asked Qingpu to hand over the scroll in his hand to her and unfold it for his father to see. Cao Ziheng chose Mr. Cao Youxuan's "Ancient Song Picture of Cold Mountain", and Gu Dezhao praised it after reading it, "...... Cao Youxuan's pine pictures are ambitious, and his works in his later years are even more beautiful and simple, with a sparse and clear style. ”
Gu Jinchao knew that his father was intent on currying favor with him, but he only smiled. If you want to say that she has the right appetite, it was Cao Ziheng who helped her choose this painting, but if you want to talk about her heart, she can be regarded as the least attentive of the sisters.
When Gu Lan presented the gift, she uncovered the gray cloth, and everyone saw that it was a screen embroidered with words. Jin Chao skimmed one or two sentences, and knew that Gu Lan embroidered the first twenty articles of the Tao Te Ching. Gu Yi also saw it, and felt a little in her heart, fortunately, the eldest sister pushed "Peng Niao Fu" to her, otherwise how could her hand-copied Tao Te Ching compare to Gu Lan's stitch embroidery?
Gu Dezhao was also quite moved when she saw it, not to mention anything else, her heart was rare. He also chose the "Tao Te Ching" to embroider, because he wanted to vote for his preferences.
"It's very serious about embroidering, it's hard for you." Gu Dezhao smiled and bowed his head with Gu Lan.
Gu Lan breathed a sigh of relief and secretly winked at Song Miaohua.
Gu Yi just got married, and Gu Dezhao saw her more recently, so he also asked her with a smile: "What does Sister Yi have to give to her father?" ”
Gu Yi said softly: "I'm not as good as the eldest sister and the second sister, I just copied an article for my father." "She unfolded the words framed into hanging scrolls, and the small seal was neat and beautiful, and there was no lack of simplicity." It's "Peng Niao Fu", and my daughter likes it very much. ”
Gu Dezhao was very surprised when he saw it, and couldn't help but praise her repeatedly. "Our father and daughter's minds are together, I also appreciate this "Peng Bird Fu", the small seal you wrote is also very good, I remember that your pavilion style is written in general, but it is difficult to bother to practice the small seal......"
This is one of his favorite fu. Although it seems that the intention of writing is not as good as embroidery, Gu Yi has never been good at calligraphy, and he is actually very attentive after practicing such a small seal writing. And "Tao Te Ching" as a Taoist holy scripture, it is really a bit slanderous to make the embroidery of his daughter's house, but it is difficult for him to say that his daughter made it. Only when you write it properly and rigorously can you hang it out.
From his father's expression, it could be seen that he really liked it, and Gu Lan saw that he was full of praise when he looked at Gu Yi's words, and his heart sank slightly.
Obviously, she is the one who does it hard, why is it that Gu Yi gets more appreciation......
Father accepted Gu Xi's gift again and praised a few words. took the little maid to the outer courtyard to meet guests, and Aunt Song knew at a glance that Gu Lan did not really do what she liked, and released her suspicions with Gu Dezhao, but added a little disgust, and her heart was very unhappy.
She glanced at Gu Yi's words, what "Peng Niao Fu", Gu Yi just asked Mr. Kaimeng to teach him for a few years, and he knew a few words, and he liked "Peng Niao Fu" the most, can she read it?
If someone hadn't told her, she would have figured it out?
She looked at Gu Jinchao, who was drinking tea unhurriedly, raised her head to meet Aunt Song's gaze, and said with a light smile: "Aunt looks like she is going to eat me raw, I'm afraid." ”
Gu Lan also understood, smiled, looked at Gu Yi and said, "The third sister's endowment was chosen by the eldest sister, right?" I love it too. ”
Jin Chao put down the teacup, pressed Gu Yi's hand, and said softly to Gu Lan: "The embroidery of the Tao Te Ching will inevitably stain the holy name. Of course you have to like Sister Yi'er's writing. "It turned out to be to defend Gu Yi.
Gu Yi's heart moved slightly, and he unconsciously took Jin Chao's hand.
"The second lady is visiting at my mother's place, I'm going to go first." After Jin Chao finished speaking, he left Juliu Pavilion with Gu Yi and Gu Xi.
On his father's birthday, Gu Wuye of the ancestral family came over to eat and drink, and the second lady also came to see her mother. When Jin Chao arrived at Xiexiao Courtyard, the second lady was talking to her mother. When her mother saw her and her two younger sisters coming, she hurriedly asked them to come over and greet the second lady.
The second lady smiled and asked them to get up, and each of them gave them a gift, which was packed in a sandalwood box. "The last time you came to see Mrs. Tai, I didn't give you a meeting gift, but now I have to make up for it."
Jin Chao thanked him, Gu Yi and Gu Xi also thanked him, and the second lady pulled Gu Yi over: "I heard that you and the sixth son of the Wuqing Du family are married, and the sixth son is a talent, and he is good at studying, and he will definitely have ......a future in the future."
Ji Shi also smiled and said: "It's good for me to look at it, Sister Yi is married, our Sister Lan doesn't know when it will be ......" She took Jin Chao's hand and smiled a little gloomily.
Jin Chao's heart tightened slightly, and he held his mother's hand. After not taking rhubarb, she didn't cough anymore, but her health did not get very better.
"Sister Chao looks as good as a flower, so naturally she won't worry." The second lady comforted Ji, "I also pay attention to the appropriate one for our sister." ”
Jin Chao smiled and said, "I want to stay with my mother all the time and not get married." ”
Speaking of getting married, somehow, she remembered Chen Xuanqing's indifferent face.
Ji sighed and said to her: "I still want to talk like I haven't grown up." ”
Aunt Song returned to the Yanxie with a calm face, and Qiao Wei was standing under the corridor waiting for her. Seeing her coming over, he bowed down and said, "Auntie...... The man was found. ”
Aunt Song raised her head in astonishment, she really found it! She was trying to let Qiaowei find it, in case this girl died, married somewhere else, or had changed her name to marry, no one knew. Who knew she found it.
The latest chapter of the Jianghu Survival Handbook She took a deep breath to suppress the excitement in her heart, and said, "Come in and say." ”
Entering the inner room, Qiao Wei closed the door. and Aunt Song said that this is how she found this jade screen.
"There are only three Li Ji fried chestnuts in Shuntian Mansion, and the slave maid has inquired about it, all of them are time-honored brands that have been open for more than ten years. The slave followed her and found her near one of them. The names of the girls are all taken by the master, and most of them will call back to their original names when they return to their hometowns. But this Yuping is different, her parents died early, and after she went back, her brother sold her again, to an old widower as a wife, and she was also called Yuping. ”
"The widower was originally a nearby groomi seller, who knew everyone who walked the streets and alleys, and later met the son of the local county master, so he made a fortune and bought Yuping as his wife. After Yuping gave birth to a daughter for him, he bought a fourteen-year-old girl as a concubine, this person has a very big temper, and often beats and scolds Yuping and this little girl. Therefore, everyone in the vicinity of Yuping knew about it, and they asked as soon as they inquired. When the slave and maid went, Yuping was beaten and scolded for a trivial matter, and the slave and maid gave him twenty taels of silver, so he was willing to let Yuping follow the slave and maid back. ”
Aunt Song nodded again and again: "This thing is well done...... Where is she now? ”
Qiao Wei smiled: "The slave maid asked her to freshen up, and Yuxiang led her to see you, and it was almost there." ”
Yuxiang really quickly led Yuping over, Yuping can't Chinese New Year's Eve today, but it looks like he is forty years old. Seeing Aunt Song, she hurriedly bowed and said that she was grateful to her for saving herself, and said a little incoherently.
Aunt Song put down the teacup in her hand, stood up and looked at her carefully, she looked really familiar, but she couldn't remember the appearance of Yuping very well, so she asked her: "You served Aunt Yun back then, do you remember what Aunt Yun likes to eat?" ”
Yuping nodded hurriedly, wiped her tears and said, "I still remember...... Aunt Yun likes to eat osmanthus sugar crisp and milk poria paste. ”
Song Miaohua was sure in her heart when she heard this, this person was really the person who served Aunt Yun back then!
She continued: "When you came, Qiao Wei should have made things clear, are you willing to stand up and expose Mrs. Ji?" ”
Yuping hesitated slightly.
Song Miaohua frowned.
Qiao Wei looked at it and said on the side: "We are all good on the road, if you expose Madame, we will help you ask your master for a letter of resignation, you can take your daughter back to her parents' house, and you don't have to be tortured by him anymore." ”
Yuping stroked her hair and asked in a low voice, "He...... Will he really give? Can he know the son of the county lord......"
Qiao Wei smiled: "We are the Gu family in Gu Langzhong, your master only knows the son of a small county master, how dare you not listen to us!" When the time comes, I will give you a few dozen taels of silver, and buy some land in your hometown, and your life will be passable. ”
Yuping whispered again: "Actually, what happened back then...... I'm also guessing, after all, besides Madame, it's possible for others to sneak in. When I talked to Mrs. Zhang, I also talked about it as a guess, who thought that when she said it, she really became a lady and a aunt......"
Song Miaohua sat down again and said with a smile: "That's not what you said, you have to think so." You were Aunt Yun's maid, you have to redress her grievances, otherwise wouldn't she and the child in her womb die too miserably, you dreamed at midnight, haven't you seen Aunt Yun come back to you with the child? ”
Yuping shrank for a moment, and Song Miaohua stopped talking, picked up the teacup and continued to drink tea.
