hugged Brother Chun and teased her, and her grandmother seemed a lot happier.

Jin Chao watched from the side, but there was a slight emotion in his heart. Ji Yao is almost eighteen years old, and he doesn't even have a room around him, let alone a child. Generally, at his age, there are several children who are blessed. My grandmother would have been able to hold my great-grandson's ......

She felt that she should think about it as well. Ji Yao didn't like her, and she was even more reluctant to let others reluctantly marry her. And her marriage is also a problem, after all, after the Mid-Autumn Festival, she will be sixteen.

If she wants to stay in the Gu family and not marry, she has to have capital in her hands, but her mother's dowry does not count, as long as she doesn't get married, those dowries can't really belong to her. There is also a person who can be relied on, it is impossible for a father not to marry a stepfamily for the rest of his life, and when the steproom has a child again, she may not be at ease today. If she relied on Gu Jinrong, she felt that he was really unreliable......

And her reputation is really not good in Yanjing.

Jin Chao felt a headache when he thought of these problems, and now he can only take one step at a time. At least take care of your mother's dowry first, and put the proceeds into your own private treasury, and you don't have to be afraid of so much if you save money in your hands.

After talking to my grandmother for a while, the two went to the West Cross Courtyard together. Her grandmother wanted to take her to meet Mrs. Xu.

Jin Chao has an impression of this Mrs. Xu, but not because she is the wife of the general political envoy Lord Xu, but because of her daughter.

After she married into the Chen family, there was a Luo Xian Hutong Luo family across an alley from the Chen family, the Luo family was an imperial merchant in the early years, and the company trafficked silk, and every year he had to enter the palace into Shu Jinhang silk. When the Luo family reached his son, it began to gradually decline, and the imperial merchant could not do it, and became an ordinary big businessman. The grandson of the grandfather is even more unsuccessful, he likes to linger in the fireworks and willow lane, and finally dies on the woman's belly, which makes people carry it back from the Spring Building. It's ugly.

And Mrs. Xu's daughter married this grandson of the Luo family.

Mrs. Xu is a shrewd and capable person, and her daughter is naturally not bad. It's just that his appearance is mediocre, and he is arrogant. I was dissatisfied with the refusal to marry for many years, and I didn't know that I was in a hurry until I was nineteen years old, but no one came up to propose marriage. The Xu family had no choice but to let her marry the grandson of the Luo family, after all, the Luo family was an imperial businessman in the early years, and the children and grandchildren also had officials, it should not be bad, who knew that the grandson of the Luo family was such a person.

When the grandson of the Luo family died, the neighbors always had to go to a stick of incense, and the Jin Dynasty saw this Mrs. Xu's daughter. She only remembered that her eyes were red, but her expression was extremely calm, and the Luo family's funeral was very secure. She sighed that she was sorry for such a person.

Dongkuan heard that Ji Wu had come over with the Jin Dynasty, and the eldest aunt, second uncle, second aunt and others all came to greet him. Everyone went to the main hall to sit first, and Ji Cang had just made a marriage. As soon as Ji Wu asked, his face flushed with shame. Jin Chao remembered that he and Chen Xuan were also very harmonious, and smiled at him.

It took a long time for Ji Yao to step into the main hall. He was wearing a stone blue Hangzhou silk jacket, with a pair of white jade pendants hanging from his waist, and there was no expression on his handsome face. Ji Wu called him over and asked him what he was doing.

Ji Yao replied: "I talked to the shopkeeper of Xiangguilou for a while just now. He smiled at Jin Chao again, "My cousin is here too." ”

Ji Wu frowned. Looking at Ji Yao's appearance, it seems that he is still not salty or indifferent to the Jin Dynasty.

She took Jin Chao's hand and said to her: "Your second cousin is now learning to manage affairs with me, don't you have something to do in business, so ask him." He only went to the grange in Tongyi for a month two months ago, and I asked him to learn to serve farmers, do you think everyone is a lot darker? ”

Jin Chao could only smile. She didn't remember whether Ji Yao was black or white, and it didn't look the difference.

Hearing Ji Wu's words, Ji Yao pursed his lips. The eldest aunt Song saw it on the side, and she felt even more sorry for her son, so she smiled and said, "I guess our cousin can't remember clearly...... Mrs. Xu is still in the wing. Let's take a look first. ”

Jin Chao also understood in his heart when he heard this, and the eldest aunt didn't want her son to be wronged and marry him.

Why not be an adult's wish. Jin Chao thought about it and said to his grandmother: "Can you get rid of me, tomorrow you go to Shexian Tower, I will also go." Cousin Ji Yao learned from you, so you won't teach your sister? Sister Chao is not much stupider than Cousin Ji Yao......" After speaking, he looked at Ji Wu very pitifully, but made Ji Wu laugh.

Ji Yao was relieved when he heard this.

Mrs. Xu drank tea in the room on the eldest aunt's side, and the eldest aunt and second aunt accompanied them.

The eldest aunt said to Jin Chao on the way: "Your third cousin Ji Yun went to Wanping, and he won't be able to come back until a few days, otherwise he can see you." ”

Jin Chao asked, "...... What did the third cousin do in Wanping? "Isn't it time to study in the country?

The eldest aunt smiled: "He is now in prison, so he doesn't have to stay in the national prison all the time." The gentleman he taught said that he would read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles, and let him go and travel back. He has a classmate in Guozijian, and this time he took the third place in Beizhili in the township test, and he followed others to do learning! ”

My grandmother smiled and said to Jinchao, "...... He is the seventh son of the Chen family. When your grandfather was still there, he and Mrs. Chen were close friends. Their family, like their grandfather, started from Baoding Mansion, and Baoding now builds roads and temples, all of which are donated by us and the Chen family. Therefore, the relationship is also exceptionally better, and the marriage between your fourth cousin and the second lady of the Chen family has been mentioned earlier. Otherwise, with the current prominence of the Chen family, how could your fourth cousin get the second miss of the Chen family. ”

Jin Chao couldn't help but be silent when he heard this. The relationship between the Chen family and the Ji family, she is naturally clear.

It's just that she has some emotion, Chen Xuanqing's spring in this life is still the third place in the exam, and when he participates in the autumn and palace examinations in the second year, he will be hand-picked by the emperor to explore the flowers, give the Jinshi and the first, and grant the Hanlin Academy to revise it. Although there is definitely the influence of the Chen family in it, Chen Xuanqing himself is also extremely intelligent. He was born in Tanhua, and Chen Sanye was backed, and later his career was smooth, and in the year of the Jin Dynasty's death, Chen Xuanqing was already a scholar of Dongge University and a household servant of Zhengsanpin.

Jin Chao sighed, anyway, she didn't want to have anything to do with Chen Xuanqing in this life, so why bother with him in the future.

The little girl passed the word, and Mrs. Xu came out to greet them in person, and behind her stood a woman wearing a silver-red makeup gown and eight dark green moonflower skirts, who could only be regarded as delicate, combing a round bun and hairpins with a pair of gilt hairpins inlaid with yellow tourmaline. The person smiled slightly and bowed to Ji Wu.

Ji Wu smiled and pulled Gu Jinchao over and introduced to Mrs. Xu: "...... It's my granddaughter, the eldest daughter of the Gu family. ”

Mrs. Xu praised Jinchao with a smile: "...... People are really like flowers, and I like them when I see them. ”

Ji Wu introduced Mrs. Xu again, and Jin Chao bowed down to greet him. Ji Wu introduced the woman behind Mrs. Xu again, "...... It's the second miss of the Xu family. "The Xu family had a concubine before her.

Jin Chao smiled at her and shouted "sister". Xu Jingyi, the second lady of the Xu family, naturally knew each other, and she had dealt with her in her previous life.

Xu Jingyi also called her sister, and several people entered the house to talk.

Jin Chao secretly thought to himself in his heart, it seems that Mrs. Xu is really desperate. Now that he is attending the banquet with his daughter, he must have seized the opportunity to tell his daughter about a marriage. Also, Xu Jingyi is nineteen years old this year.

When Mrs. Xu talked to her grandmother, she kept asking about Ji Yao, whether he had a small marriage, or what he was doing now. Rao is Xu Jingyi is calm, and she is also so ashamed that her face is flushed and she pulls her mother's sleeve. Mrs. Xu turned a blind eye.

…… This is also too obvious to ask, and Jin Chao also felt uncomfortable for Xu Jingyi while listening.

Ji Wu smiled slightly, but answered Mrs. Xu's question without leaking: "...... Although he has not yet decided on a marriage, I think he has intentions, but the child is embarrassed to say. I'm afraid that if it's convenient at that time, I'll ask you to be a matchmaker. She had already thought about letting Ji Yao marry Jin Chao, and she would definitely not let other women have a chance. And even if you don't marry Jin Chao, it won't be Xu Jingyi's turn...... She is two years older than Ji Yao, and she doesn't know if there is any hidden disease, so she has never married. Ji Wu naturally didn't want his grandson to pick up the leftovers.

Mrs. Xu was a little disappointed, and she used her identity to help Ji Cang talk to the matchmaker, didn't she just want to have a good relationship with the Ji family, she had already seen Ji Yao. It is rare for a disciple of the family to be so calm, and none of them have a room until now......

She smiled, no longer mentioned Ji Yao's matter, and saw that Gu Jinchao had a linen sewn on his chest, so she inevitably asked. I heard that it was Ji's death, and I was very sorry.

Gu Jinchao and his grandmother had dinner in the West Cross Courtyard before returning. My grandmother told Jin Chao about Xu Jingyi: "...... The girl's family, it's not good to be too arrogant, and it's not good to marry if you want to marry until you are old. ”

Jin Chao thinks about it, Xu Jingyi is not arrogant, I'm afraid she is just stubborn, she is also a person with strong means. In her previous life, her husband died, and the Luo family was not under her control, although the widow showed up with her young son and had a bad reputation. But the master of the Luo family didn't say anything, and others were at most muttering behind their backs, and they never dared to say it in front of Xu Jingyi.

On the second day, Jin Chao got up early in the morning and went to Shixian Tower. My grandmother was already dealing with it. Now the affairs of the inner courtyard are in charge of the eldest aunt's mother, and the maternal grandmother is the steward of the grange with a head and a face, and the shopkeeper of the commercial house. After all, the Ji family is a huge merchant family, and the housekeeper comes in like a stream, Mr. Zeng is holding an abacus by the side, and there are several account rooms next to him to keep records.

Jin Chao liked to see his grandmother busy with this, and the girl brought her a brocade pestle to sit behind the curtain, and she listened to how her grandmother explained to the shopkeeper.

"The Lu Silk Village in Xianghe, although the place is good, but there are also ready-to-wear, clothing estimation, and Hangzhou silk shops next to it, which is really not prosperous enough, and such a good Zhuangzi is wasted in vain." My grandmother told the shopkeeper that she thought about it and said, "It's better to change the Lu Silk Village to a shop across the street, where it will be converted into a restaurant." The boundary of the Xianghe River is now going to be repaired, and when the canal is connected, business will definitely be good......"
