Chapter 138: Ji Mei
The Ji family's carriage will hang hollow silver incense balls in front of it, and pedestrians will avoid it far away when they see it. After walking through the canal carriage and turning again, and going up along the bluestone road, there is the Kulan Fang, where the shops gather.
Seeing the Ji family's carriage coming, the chief steward of the Ji family restaurant came out to greet him, and invited the three of them into the private seat on the second floor, and then a guy brought a pot of pine nuts and almonds to make tea, and put honey cakes, dried peanuts, crispy fish, crab roe steamed buns and other refreshments. Although Jin Chao came over with Ji Cang, in fact, she could sit here at most and look at the scenery outside the window. If you want to go and see, it must be surrounded by a large group of mother-in-law guards, which is very inconvenient.
The three of them hadn't had breakfast yet, just enough to have a refreshment.
The big shopkeeper wanted to talk to Ji Yao again, and the two stood behind a pot of beauty pines, Ji Yao stood straight with his hands behind his back, listened attentively, and instructed the big shopkeeper to say: "...... It's time to enter the wax moon, and it is also necessary to prepare more materials, plus the feast in the house, fish lips and abalone things cannot be missing. You've drawn up a list, and you'll show it to me tomorrow......"
The big shopkeeper agreed very respectfully, but after a while, a young man came up: "The second young master of the owner, the third young master is gathering outside to see things, I heard that you are here, let me come over and say, they will come over later!" ”
The Jin Dynasty remembered that the last time they saw Ji Yun, they were about to visit Xuezheng of a Guozijian.
Ji Cang told her: "...... It was indeed to visit Mr. Zhang and come back. I don't know why I've been using it for so long, it's been more than two months, I think Ji Yun is going to fight the autumn wind! Wait for him to come up later, and you can laugh at him. ”
Ji Yao was a little hesitant, there were still two sons of the family with Ji Yun, and Gu Jinchao seemed to want to avoid it.
Before he could say anything, Ji Yun and his party went upstairs.
The three of them brought a few scholars, who were dusty.
"Received a letter from my grandmother. I rushed back. Ji Yun said with a smile, "How can I miss your marriage." I just saw that there were a few new inkstones in Jushanju, so I went and picked one for your congratulatory gift......"
Ji Cang's eyes widened in anger: "Do you want to be shameless!" "Jushanju is the study under his name. Several young masters of the Ji family never pay for things there. It has always been bookkeeping, bookkeeping. No one ever paid him back.
An Songhuai, who came up later, smiled: "...... are all people who are going to get married, and they are so unkind to their brothers. ”
Ji Cang's face flushed. "Then he has to pay back the money he owes me......"
An Songhuai's eyes fell on Gu Jinchao, seeing her sitting by the window, drinking tea quietly with a teacup, and looking at the Gulanfang where people were coming and going downstairs outside the window, the mist rising from the teacup was thick, and she was hanging her slender eyelashes. The face is as tender as jade.
Ji Yun said to him: "...... This is my second brother. An Songhuai told him that he wanted to meet Ji Yao.
An Songhuai came back to his senses and scolded himself secretly. If the girl doesn't speak, that is to avoid suspicion. How can he still look at people.
He then greeted Guillau, "...... I didn't see each other last time, but it's a pity. "Ji Yao is very famous among the sons of the family, when he was twelve years old, he reconciled accounts with the big shopkeeper of Huizhou Commercial Bank, and his pen was fluent and clear, and his mental calculation was faster than the account room next to him with beads. At that time, the big shopkeeper of Huizhou Commercial Bank was forced by him to break out in a cold sweat.
Although An Songhuai is a person, he sneered at the set of Shinong Industry and Commerce. In his opinion. A person like Ji Yao is a really smart person. That Chen Xuanqing, who is in the north and is in the scriptures, is just rotten wood who can read!
Ji Yun was about to talk about Chen Xuanqing.
“…… Aren't they following us? How did it disappear in a blink of an eye. ”
An Songhuai retracted his mind and stopped looking at the window. Said with a smile. "He said he was dressed too shabbyly, and he didn't listen. No, when our Chen Qigongzi entered the door just now, he was stopped by the guys downstairs, thinking that he was a poor talent from somewhere. ”
Ji Yun couldn't cry or laugh: "...... You don't see it and don't help him! Just as he was about to go down and bring someone up, he heard Chen Xuanqing's voice, "My clothes are still given by Mr. Zhang, where is the cold." ”
The voice is always flat and gentle.
Gu Jinchao sighed, how could the people he didn't want to see come to the door one after another. But you can't avoid it yet.
Chen Xuanqing's cloth shoes stepped on the stairs. Light and fast, when he came up, the crowd saw it. He wore a green cotton robe. It is knotted with a wooden hairpin, which looks very simple. There wasn't even a single scholar behind him. The person is tall and thin, and he looks like a poor talent.
When Ji Yao learned that this was the famous seventh son of the Chen family and the eldest son of the third master of Chen, he also took a closer look. Although Chen Xuanqing is inconspicuously dressed, his temperament is as warm as the distant mountains, and he is very handsome. This kind of bearing is also extraordinary, like a young master of a scholarly family who has not gone through the world.
Chen Xuanqing smiled and greeted Ji Yao, but when he turned his eyes, he saw Gu Jinchao drinking tea next to him, and his smile was sluggish.
He pursed his lips, feeling that he shouldn't have come up at all.
Ji Yao invited a few people to sit down, and An Songhuai talked about the past few months. That Zhang Xuezheng's home is not easy to find, he does not live in any alley, but on a mountain in Tongzhou Miao County. The mountain road is steep and difficult to walk, and there are no people around, but there is a small temple on the top of the mountain, and Zhang Xuezheng's residence is based on this small temple.
They worshiped Chen Sanye's name, and Xuezheng entertained them very warmly, and heard that Chen Xuanqing was the leader of Beizhili, and he also wanted to pull him to talk about Shiwen. In a broad sense, this is the most profound course in the Guozijian course, and Mr. Zhang gives them lectures or takes them to the depths of the mountains to travel and sleep in the open air. He and Ji Yun took the scholar with him, but Chen Xuanqing was alone, and even his clothes were torn and had to be borrowed from Mr. Zhang.
This is what he looks like now.
After a few people spoke, Chen Xuanqing spoke: "Why don't you go downstairs and take a look at the things in Gulanfang City, I see lanterns and cannons for the New Year on the street, which is very lively......
Ji Cang said: "What's so good about this, when you come to Gulanfang City during the Lantern Festival, the lantern festival will be lively." ”
Ji Cang saw that Gu Jinchao had not spoken, so he smiled at her: "Cousin, did you say?" ”
Chen Xuanqing wanted to avoid Gu Jinchao, but when Ji Cang said this, he couldn't speak.
Jin Chao was originally looking at the nose and nose, but when he heard Ji Cang talk about it, he thought about it and said: "I still came here often when I was a child, but I don't remember it very much now." However, the style of lights is the most, and there are toad lights, hibiscus lights, hydrangea lights, and snowflake lights on the road. The bigger ones are, and the Shipo lamp falls the feather fan to subdue the evil god, the bangs and the lantern back the golden toad plays to swallow the treasure, and the green lion lamp carries priceless treasures, all of which are very delicate ......"
Jin Chao said slowly, her fingers rubbing the rim of the teacup. An Songhuai listened very carefully, and had to talk to Gu Jinchao: "Although they are all good-looking...... But I like the green lion lantern the most, and I had one when I was a child, and I hung it in the yard for a month. ”
Ji Yao glanced at An Songhuai. An Songhuai and Gu Jinchao spoke very seriously, but their tones were a little cautious.
He felt a little strange, this An Songhuai ...... seems to care about Gu Jinchao very much.
Since they met Ji Yun and the others, they didn't have much delay, and returned to Ji's house after buying things.
Ji Yun and the others went to greet Ji Wu's family first, and happened to meet Ji Mei, who had just returned from Jizhou. Ji Mei is the eldest daughter of the Ji family, and now she is married and has children.
Ji Wu smiled and said to Ji Yun and the others: "...... Look at a few of you, look like a beggar called Hanako, go down and come back after you finish cooking. ”
asked Song's mother to arrange a long-term stay in the wing room of the West Cross Courtyard for Chen Xuanqing and An Songhuai, and only went back after the wedding banquet.
Gu Jinchao looked at Ji Mei on the side, she was wearing a green weave gold makeup gown, combing a smooth bun, a little oil gold hairpin and bead hoop on the bun, and a pair of blue and gemstone earrings on her ears, which looked a little similar to her aunt. Brother Yi was playing with her fingers on the side, he looked even smaller and chubby than Brother Chun.
Ji Wu and Ji Mei talked about her aunt's death, Ji Mei was very embarrassed, took Jin Chao's hand and said, "...... A gentle man like my aunt went so early...... Cousin, this is not easy, and if there is anything difficult in the future, just tell me. ”
Ji Mei was brought up by his aunt Song, and he has always been a very polite person.
Jin Chao was not impressed by Ji Mei, but vaguely remembered that this cousin often liked to give himself something to eat, and he was smiling every time, and he was very good. She didn't appreciate it at that time, and felt that her eldest cousin had robbed her grandmother of her love, so she cut the rabbit she gave and threw it into the brazier. As soon as Ji Mei entered the door, he saw a little rabbit lying on the burnt hair, but he never said half a word to her.
She said, "Don't worry, eldest cousin, Jin Chao has nothing to worry about...... I see that Brother Yi is good-looking, I don't know how old he is? ”
Ji Wu asked his mother-in-law to hug Brother Yi over, Brother Yi looked at Ji Wu blankly, and then turned around and timidly called Ji Mei 'mother', and Ji Mei smiled at him to comfort him.
Ji Wu said to Jin Chao: "Brother Yi is only two months younger than Brother Chun...... I only hugged him when he was born, but now I can't hold it! As she spoke, she put Brother Yi between her and Jin Chao, and said to Brother Yi, "Hurry up and let your aunt hug you." Brother Yi bit his fingers, and looked back at Ji Mei and called 'mother', still looking timid and annoying, but he hesitated and didn't dare to move.
Ji Mei said: "If Brother Yi is disobedient, there will be no amber candy to eat at night." ”
When Brother Yi heard this, he stretched out his hand aggrievedly and said, "...... Aunt hugging. Everyone laughed at him.
Jin Chao smiled and hugged him.
Somehow, she vaguely remembered...... In the end, Brother Yi didn't seem to have lived past the age of five. (To be continued)
