Chapter 19: The First Year of Junior High School
Gu Lan was sitting in the room thinking, since she discovered Gu Jinchao's abnormality, she had not been very stable. I told my mother yesterday, and my mother only told her that if she comes, she will be safe, after all, the advantage is still in her hands, as long as she uses it properly, what is Gu Jinchao afraid of!
With her mother's comfort, she also felt relaxed. As long as Gu Jinrong is grasped well, as soon as the Ji family dies, won't this Gu family be the world of their mother and daughter!
Tonight, he was invited to keep the New Year, and he originally agreed, but he sent someone to say that he would not come. He has always cared most about her second sister, she said that she likes ivory carving, and he can waste most of his time studying for her! Why did you miss your appointment?
Gu Lan knew that Gu Jinrong ate soft or hard, since she missed the appointment, then she would wait, she didn't believe that this younger brother she had grasped since she was a child was not soft-hearted.
Hearing that Gu Jinrong was coming, she secretly said in her heart that she really felt sorry for her sister, so she hurriedly greeted him and invited him in for tea and snacks.
The two sisters and brothers talked for a while, and Gu Jinrong suddenly asked: "Second sister, you said, if you hear the poem 'Chang'e should destroy and steal the elixir, the blue sea and the blue sky and the night heart', how do you feel in your heart?" ”
Gu Lan said with a smile: "Chang'e stealing the elixir is naturally her punishment. It was supposed to be. ”
Gu Jinrong felt that Gu Lan shouldn't understand this poem very well, and soon Ziling came in and put on a small flower fruit crisp, Gu Jinrong saw that her face seemed to be injured, and he could see the high swollen palm marks, and he was shocked, so he asked her what was wrong.
Gu Lan sighed softly: "I didn't want to tell my brother...... Ziling offended the eldest sister and was called by her to slap her mouth, I couldn't stop it while I watched, and I was helpless. Forget it, don't go to the eldest sister to ask questions like last time, it's not good if you sister and brother are not happy! She specially instructed Ziling not to apply ointment to eliminate bruises and redness first, and waited to show it to Gu Jinrong.
Gu Jinrong frowned: "...... The eldest sister really shouldn't have beaten her face like this. For some reason, he suddenly remembered the expression on Jin Chao's face when he read that poem just now, and felt that Gu Jinchao should not be such a person. But thinking about her temper of scolding and punishing the girl in the mansion before, he said: "The eldest sister has a bad temper, just don't offend her." ”
Gu Lan smiled and served him vegetables, and when he heard this, his smile froze for a moment, and then he laughed again.
"I also know, it's just that she punished her girl the day before yesterday, do you know about it?"
Gu Jinrong naturally nodded, this matter is quite big, he heard about it, but the punishment is only a girl, how can he care.
The girl had been serving her for a long time, and her brother was seriously ill and had no money for treatment, so she asked the eldest sister to lend her a little money. But the eldest sister refused to borrow it, saying that she ate her own and used her own, so it was possible that even her brother was sick, and she still had to rely on her. The girl had no choice, she felt sorry for her brother, so she stole a jasper wrench that her eldest sister had not worn for a long time to save her brother, but she was arrested on the spot......"
Speaking of this, his voice lowered, and Gu Jinrong unconsciously raised his tone: "How is it?" ”
Gu Lan said: "The five flowers are tied up, and the fight is not good!" People are crazy! He sighed slowly, "When I heard about this, I thought that girl is usually a kind person, and she has always been honest and responsible, but this time she just watched her brother fall ill too urgently." You won't be killed...... I just want to dissuade it," smiled faintly and bitterly, "It's that I can't do my best, and I can't dissuade it, but I provoke Ziling to be beaten, or I'm useless......"
Ziling said: "Miss, don't say that, if you don't stop the eldest lady and beg her to let Miss Liuxiang live, I'm afraid Miss Liuxiang will be beaten to death!" Now it is just released from the government and handed over to the government for punishment, which is also a good result. ”
After Gu Jinrong listened to Gu Lan's words, half of his body was cold.
She ...... Is it really so vicious and unkind? ”
Gu Lan pulled him again and whispered: "Don't ask her again this time, the last time you asked that girl, she was suspicious that I said it, she never gave me a good face in private, I'm afraid she also resented me, so she beat Ziling......" Tears welled up in her eyelashes as she spoke, "I just pity Miss Liuxiang, if it wasn't for her brother who wanted to save her life, how could she end up like this......"
Gu Jinrong immediately stood up and walked around the house twice, not knowing what to say for a while, his hands were shaking with anger: "It's really like a snake and scorpion......" Seeing Gu Lan look at himself worriedly, he comforted her again, "Second sister, don't worry, I won't ask her again!" ”
He only hated himself for having such a sister-in-law! I still have to pretend to be in harmony with her every day, and I can't tear my face with her in front of my mother! It's better to tell your mother about this and let her take care of Gu Jinchao...... No, my mother is seriously ill, how can I let her know about Gu Jinchao's! Isn't that angry enough to get sick, even when he hears it, he looks like this.
Gu Jinrong hurriedly returned to Jingfangzhai, thinking about it and couldn't sleep, thinking that today was Chinese New Year's Eve, this was the juncture of the New Year, Gu Jinchao almost beat her girl to death! It's because people want to save her brother! He sat up again, the last time he misunderstood Gu Jinchao, what about this time? He should also ask clearly, so before dawn, he asked Qing Xiu to find a girl near Qingtong Courtyard.
This girl is a sweeper, and she is in the stable. When she heard that the eldest young master was looking for her, she was so frightened that her hands and feet were trembling.
Gu Jinrong asked her directly: "...... Do you know what happened when Liuxiang was beaten out of the house? ”
The little girl's voice was also shaking: "The slave doesn't know very well...... I heard from the grandmother in the stables that the brother of Miss Liuxiang was sick, so she came to steal it...... Stealing Miss's gold, I was caught......"
Gu Jinrong's heart was a little cold, and he continued to ask her: "And then?" ”
The little girl was about to cry: "No...... I don't know, Miss Liuxiang is crazy, where can I say it clearly...... Kicked out anyway. ”
Gu Jinrong continued to ask her: "How did Liuxiang go crazy and be beaten crazy?" ”
The little girl doesn't know anymore, she is a sweeper, and Mama is willing to say a few words to her, that's a great gift, right...... Sausage! The little girl vaguely remembered that she had eaten a piece of sausage, which tasted very fragrant and fragrant, and remembered the words that Mama boasted, and said according to the gourd: "I was beaten...... Miss Qingpu is terrible at beating people! The grandmother of the stable also helped, and the young lady also rewarded the sausage and sauce goose! ”
Hearing this, what else did he not understand, Gu Jinrong's heart was completely cold. She is indeed such a person...... He even thought that Gu Jinchao might not be that kind of person, it was really ridiculous!
He asked Qing Xiu to reward the girl with a few big bucks, and the little girl happily took the money and left. He stood in front of the window lattice of the study, looking at the flickering lanterns, and his heart was shrouded in disappointment and hatred.
Jin Dynasty returned to Qingtong Temple, and got up after sleeping for most of the hour. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the longevity lamp under her eaves was still on, and Caifu said, "...... The slave and maid watched all night, and it was very bright. "The face is red, it must have been blown by the cold wind.
It's really not easy to show her the longevity lamp. Jin Chao praised her with a smile, and rewarded her with a pair of earrings in red gold. Caifu was praised by the Jin Dynasty, but she seemed clumsy: "Slave...... The slave just wants the young lady to be safe and live a long life...... "The longevity lamp is lit to pray for blessings."
These days, she watched the young lady behave, and felt that she liked the eldest lady more and more, and she was very kind to them, and she was calm and resourceful in trouble. I didn't close my eyes for the longevity lamp for Miss all night, and I felt that I was happy in my heart.
It's been six years since Longqing.
Since it was the first day of the Lunar New Year, it was natural to dress more festively, so Qingpu found her a light red makeup fairy crane satin jacket, and used a gemstone-inlaid lotus golden hairpin that is not usually used. Qingpu looked at the face of the young lady in the makeup mirror, and sighed in her heart that she was just dressed up casually, even if she didn't use rouge, she had delicate red lips, her complexion was like jade, and the water in her eyes was shining, like a colorful streamer, and she was fascinated by it.
Jin Chao saw that Qingpu hadn't put on earrings for her for a long time, and said with a smile: "Why are you stupid?" ”
Qingpu couldn't help but blush when she came back to her senses: "Miss is so good-looking, the slave maid lost her mind for a while." ”
Jin Chao just smiled and didn't speak, she really didn't care much about her appearance.
At the time of Chen, the ancestral tablet put three cooked animals in front of it, put the fruit and vegetarian food in front of the statue of the god, and there were paper money and gold leaf ingots. The father led the whole family to worship. After worshipping their ancestors, the children have to kneel down to worship their father and mother, and when the etiquette is over, Gu Xi pulls Gu Yi to find the Jin Dynasty and wants to do 'noisy yelling' together.
The father laughed at them: "You have never liked to play with your sisters." ”
Gu Xi whispered: "Eldest sister is skillful, she must do it well!" ”
Gu Lan was standing beside her father, she was wearing a blue and gold makeup satin jacket, and her little face was as bright as the moon. Seeing Gu Xi pulling Jin Chao's sleeve, he felt a little strange.
Gu Xi was timid, except for Gu Yi, who had never dared to get close to anyone, but now he dared to pull Gu Jinchao's sleeve.
Gu Lan asked Gu Xi with a smile: "The second sister hasn't made any noise for a long time, does Sister Xi want the second sister to play together?" ”
Gu Xi is the youngest, and she has a shy personality, and everyone likes to joke with her.
"Second sister can naturally come to ......" After she finished saying this, she felt that Gu Lan's expression was not quite right, and even her father's smile was put away. She was nervous again, wondering if she had said the wrong thing.
Jin Chao patted her hand comfortingly, and said with a smile: "Second sister should hurry up if you want to come, otherwise we won't wait for you!" He said goodbye to his father again, and the three of them went back to Qingtong Courtyard to make a fuss, and made butterflies, moths, and grasshoppers with black gold paper, which were as big as fists and as small as copper coins, and they looked very festive when inserted on their heads. Jin Chao put a lot of noise on Gu Xi's bun, and she smiled very crisply.
Gu Yi was silent, and he also bent the corners of his mouth to look at them. The three of them made a lot of distributions for the girls in each courtyard to wear, and after making trouble for a while, Gu Xi pulled Jin Chao's sleeve and asked her: "Didn't the second sister say that she was coming, why hasn't she come yet?" Did I just say the wrong thing......"
Jin Chao shook his head: "Maybe there is something else...... Don't think about it. ”
