Chapter 108: True and False
The Jin Dynasty returned to the Gu family on the second day, and the Ji Wu family brought her a lot of things, the specialties that Liu Min brought back from Hebei, the private room that Ji Wu gave her, or all kinds of food, and the four treasures of the study that the Ji family uncle gave to Gu Jinrong.
After she came back, she went directly into the Hanging Flower Gate, Mother Xu hurriedly came to greet her, and Gu Yi and Gu Xi were waiting in the shadow wall early in the morning. Jin Chao glanced at it and didn't see Gu Lan and Gu Jinrong. Mother Xu said: "The eldest young master went to the Yu family, and the second lady said that she had a headache and it was inconvenient to come to greet ......."
Jin Chao is the eldest daughter, and it stands to reason that Gu Lan is going to pick it up. But with her character, Gu Jinchao didn't bother to pay attention to her.
She instructed Xu's mother what things her grandmother gave her privately, a few pure Shu brocade and silk satin. My grandmother said that she would use it after she kept the system, and the other was to give things to each room, Gu Yi and Gu Xi were also keeping filial piety, and my grandmother was not good at giving valuable things, so she gave exquisite food.
Jin Chao talked to the two for a while, and then began to deal with some things at home that Xu's mother couldn't make up her mind.
"Aunt Song is crazy, saying that she accidentally fell off the Taihu Lake stone a few days ago, and her leg is not good...... A few mothers-in-law discussed and came to tell me to see if they didn't live in Tingtao Pavilion. "The terrain of Tingtao Pavilion is higher than other places, and it is between bamboo forests.
Jin Chao looked at Mother Xu's smiling appearance, and seemed to understand a little, and asked her in a low voice: "Aunt Song...... Is it pretending to be crazy? ”
Mother Xu said in a low voice: "Several mothers-in-law are watching, if she is really delirious, she can sneak out like this, and she broke her leg...... Although she didn't show her feet, what she wanted to do was her biggest flaw. ”
Jin Chao smiled and asked, "Does Father know?" ”
Mother Xu shook her head: "The master has been with Qingxu Daoist all day, and he went to Baiyun Temple not long ago, and after coming back, Qingxu Daoist made a furnace, saying that it was alchemy, but the furnace caught fire and almost burned down the east wing...... The old man asked the Taoist chief to move to the back cover room to live temporarily. I'll talk about it when the West Wing is cleared. ”
The back cover room is generally where the next person lives. Jin Chao didn't know whether to cry or laugh when he heard it, so he said about Aunt Song: "Since you are crazy, there is a way to be crazy." If she wanted to run, she would be tied to the kang near the window day and night. When she doesn't want to run around, let her go. Now that the Gu family is in charge, Aunt Song's actions are undoubtedly a clown, not to mention breaking her leg, even if she breaks her neck, Jin Chao doesn't want to pay attention to her, and no one will say anything.
Mother Xu promised, no longer talking about these trivial matters, but talking about the silver donated by Gu Dezhao: "...... Miss, you also persuade the master, this is four thousand taels! ”
Four thousand taels. Throwing it into the water was good enough to make a loud noise, and it was given to the Qingxu Dao Chief, which was worse than hitting the water and drifting away.
Jin Chao also knew in his heart that she groaned for a moment and asked Mother Xu to cut the Caohe donkey meat she brought back. I packed a plate of tangqi tangerines, made a plate of peach crisp and a plate of molasses dates, and went to my father with a food box.
Gu Dezhao was naturally extremely happy to see his eldest daughter come back. I pulled her over and sat down, and asked her if it was fun to go to her grandmother's house.
Jin Chao wanted to laugh a little, it turned out that in Gu Dezhao's opinion, she was there to play.
Biyue laid out the things that had brought her back. Shui Ying went to get the bowl, and Jin Chao ordered a pot of wine to be scalded.
"Why didn't you see my father with the Taoist chief?" Jin Chao asked with a smile.
Gu Dezhao sneered: "He is reading the Taoist books in the room......"
Looking at the appearance of the eldest daughter, he was not sure if she knew about the Qingxu Daoist who had burned down the east wing.
Jin Chao immediately instructed Xu's mother to go to the back cover room to have a look, Gu Dezhao couldn't stop it, and when Xu's mother came back, she said to Jin Chao: "...... The Taoist chief is alchemy, and there is a lot of smoke in the room. There is no need for slaves to go in, saying that they are afraid of revealing his Danfang. ”
Jin Chao smiled, didn't say anything about Qingxu Dao Chang, but pointed to the plate of donkey meat: "Father, this is the brother of my third cousin-in-law Liu brought back from Hebei. People say that dragon meat in the sky and donkey meat on the ground. Father also tried it to see if it was. ”
Gu Dezhao couldn't figure out what the eldest daughter was paying attention to, but he understood that he couldn't hide the burning of the east wing.
Gu Dezhao sandwiched a piece of donkey meat, he was in a heavy mood and chewed wax, put down his chopsticks and said to Jin Chao: "This is also my father's fault, the Taoist chief said that it is not good to refine the pill in the wing, we have to find a ventilated and bright attic, our family does not have such an attic, so we will temporarily live in the east wing......"
Jin Chao put down the chopsticks in his hand with a snap, and said to his father with a smile: "Listen to what you mean, do you want to build another attic for the Taoist chief to come out and let him burn and play?" ”
Gu Dezhao's face was inevitably ugly, and he whispered: "Jin Chao, what are these words!" ”
Jin Chao nodded and smiled: "What is it to build an attic, my father donated four thousand taels of silver to the Taoist Sanqing Palace, that is a big deal!" ”
Gu Dezhao was even more embarrassed, he paid four thousand taels of silver, and he told the department that he would not keep accounts. But this matter is so big, how can it be hidden from Mother Xu, who has many ears and eyes now!
He coughed, and said to Jin Chao in a soft tone: "My father has done so many wrong things, and it is nothing to donate some silver to the Taoist temple to repair the Sanqing Palace, money is something outside the body, and it is not brought to life or death." Besides, the Taoist chief said, after repairing the Sanqing Palace, it is also good to give your mother a long-term arch tablet. ”
Jin Chao was a little disappointed, and whispered to him: "Father, you know that our family's silver is flowing like water, don't you want to think about it, if it weren't for the help of the Ji family, would we have so much profit." How can you get four thousand taels of silver by your money? I ask you, if someone asks you where the money comes from, what do you say? Qingxu Daoist wants to build a Sanqing Palace, does he know less other princes and ministers, why let you pick the big head. You are neither a high-ranking official nor a knighthood, and this is spread out to others what they say! ”
Gu Dezhao was stunned, he didn't expect this. It's just that seeing that the Qingxu Daoist has the best relationship with himself, he came up with this money and it's nothing, it's just for cultivating the Taoist Temple......
Jin Chao continued: "Liu's elder brother Liu Min, in his early thirties, is already a Hebei Xuanfu envoy, and he has no family shade, and there are no rich businessmen to support him. I don't ask my father, you and the elder brother of the Liu family, at least don't make trouble for the Ji family and the Gu family......"
The eldest daughter's words really poked at Gu Dezhao's weakness. He can achieve his current official position, and he has an inseparable relationship with the Ji family and the Gu family's ancestral family. Gu Dezhao felt a little guilty in his heart, four thousand taels of silver...... Now that I think about it, it is indeed that he is too impulsive!
Qingxu Daoist knows so many people, and there are many who are either rich or expensive, it is really inappropriate to let him come out on top, and others may think how rich the Gu family is!
The more Gu Dezhao thought about it, the more he felt that what the eldest daughter said made sense, so he went to find the Qingxu Daoist in the afternoon.
The Taoist chief put the elixir he had refined in a brocade box and said to him, "...... This is the elixir that King Yanping asked for for his eldest son, and I first refined a furnace and gave it to him. The boy with his hair combed next to him put away the pill box.
Qingxu Dao twisted his beard, invited Gu Dezhao to sit down in the corridor, and said to him with a smile: "If your eldest son wants, I can also refine a furnace for him." With our friendship, we naturally use the best for everything, and you don't have to pay for it. ”
Gu Dezhao also wanted to talk about the silver, but he didn't expect the Qingxu Daoist to suddenly say that he would help Gu Jinrong alchemy for free, and he couldn't open his mouth for a while. Who in Yanjing doesn't know that the elixir of Qingxu Dao can prolong life, and it is difficult to find a pill. He could only shirk and said: "Jin Rong's health is okay, but he still doesn't have to worry about it." ”
King Yanping begged for pills for his eldest son, because his eldest son was weak and bedridden all year round.
Qingxu Dao Chang waved his hand: "You are polite, the pill is not to cure the disease, it is also to strengthen the body." I will make a furnace for your firstborn son, and send it to him tomorrow. ”
Gu Dezhao smiled and talked about building the Sanqing Palace: "...... You say that many people have gone into the money, and they do not know who they are. ”
Qingxu Daoist looked at him and reported a long list of names, all of them with heads and faces. When he asked about the silver, the Qingxu Daoist was a little unhappy, and said lightly: "Aren't you worried that the silver will be bad, I will let you give more, that is because I want your merit to be greater, and you will be meritorious in the future." ”
Gu Dezhao was even more embarrassed when he heard him say this, so he said, "...... I didn't mean anything else, but I just wanted to hide it. After all, I have given so much silver, and others will always be suspicious when they hear it. ”
Qingxu Dao Chief's face finally relaxed: "Don't worry, how can I say this outside." I still have something to do, you can go back first. ”
After all, he was a little unhappy, Gu Dezhao didn't ask for money, and he could be regarded as begging for a word. secretly thought that he would not be able to do such a thing in the future, so he gave it away.
As soon as he left, the Qingxu Daoist snorted, and his little boy hurriedly came over, and the Qingxu Dao raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is it their eldest lady coming back?" ”
Xiao Tong hurriedly smiled: "Exactly! I heard that I went to talk to Master Gu in the morning. Master, we are in the Gu family, we live in the back cover room, let Master Gu donate some silver, he is the boss is reluctant, why should we stay here! Didn't King Yanping invite us to go? ”
Qingxu Dao Chang twisted his beard and smiled: "What do you know! Other people, how can they be so happy as Master Gu when they pay money! Yanqing Temple will soon be able to have one more Sanqing Palace. But this eldest lady of their family is really annoying, I think this Gu family is smoky, and she is also destined to restrain her......"
Qingxu Daoist thought for a while, and felt even more uncomfortable, he was courteous everywhere. Why does the eldest lady of the Gu family have to be like this. Isn't it just four thousand taels of silver, it's not a dime a drop in the bucket for their Gu family!
Qingxu Dao Chang thought about it for a long time, but he still felt that this Gu family couldn't live for a long time, and he would leave when he got the money.
