Chapter 68: Birth
Jin Chao was leaning on the bamboo tower and talking to Gu Yi.
Leaning on the bamboo building, there are clusters of slender green bamboos, which are very clean. When the wind blows, there are thousands of green bamboos. There is a stream that flows through the bamboo forest into the lake, and a bamboo house was built next to the stream, which was originally built by my father to be used as a study, but after it was repaired, it was never used again.
Jin Chao rarely came to Yizhulou, but Gu Xi pulled her to Gu Yi's inner room, she was not afraid of Jin Chao at all now, not only was she not afraid, but she liked her very much. After Gu Xi pulled her over, she lifted the embroidery pier for her, turned over and sat on Gu Yi's kang, and the grandmother who followed her would not say anything on weekdays, but today she saw that the eldest lady was also following, she was already very frightened, and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Fourth Miss, you can't do this!" ”
Gu Xi smiled and said, "Mama, you go out first." We're going to talk privately! ”
Gu Yi was a little embarrassed, and got up again and saluted Jin Chao and said, "Eldest sister, my house is simple, if you think it's not good, let's go to the bamboo forest outside to have a look......"
When Jin Chao came in, he took a look, Gu Yi's furnishings were naturally not as good as her. However, the furniture is made of pear blossom wood, which has a faint fragrance. Two simple blue and white lotus petal pattern plum bottles, with a pot of jasmine on the high table, are very elegant. It also used a lake-blue curtain with a twig pattern, behind which was a sandalwood table, and next to it were two red-lacquered Taishi chairs. However, there was a string of flat cloth tigers hanging from the tent, which was a little out of place.
Seeing that Jin Chao's gaze stopped on the cloth tiger, Gu Xi said to her: "That's the cloth tiger I made, will the eldest sister think it's not good-looking?" I had to hang it in the third sister's room, she didn't like it very much, and said a few words to me...... At that time, the third sister always couldn't sleep well, I hung the tiger here, no ghosts dared to come, and the third sister slept well. ”
When she was young, she didn't have a sister who made a cloth tiger to drive away ghosts for her. The three cousins will not play with her in the defense of men and women, and the cousins who are out of the house dare not play with her, except for their grandmother, she can only talk to the girl's mother-in-law.
Gu Xi took Jin Chao's hand and said in an extremely low voice: "Does the eldest sister know about the Du family, so I can tell the third sister about it, she always thinks about ......"
Gu Yi couldn't help glaring at Gu Xi, and said to Jin Chao again: "Eldest sister, don't listen to Sister Xi'er, I didn't have ...... Thinking. ”
She wanted Gu Yi to understand the situation of the Du family first, and also learn these things. Don't wait a few years to marry into the Du family, nothing will be in vain.
After saying this, Jin Chao mentioned his father's birthday again and asked them what birthday gifts they had prepared.
Gu Xi said: "...... I cut a paper-cut of the five bats for their birthday, and the third sister has seen it. ”
Gu Yi smiled and said, "Sister Xi'er is much better cut now, and it looks good." I practiced Xiao Seal for more than a year and copied a volume of "Tao Te Ching" for my father. I asked the little girl to find it again, and sure enough, it was a dignified and delicate little seal, which was very neatly written.
Jin Chao praised Gu Yi's words and said to her: "If you had come to me earlier, I would have suggested that you write "Peng Bird Fu", and my father liked that Fu the most." ”
Gu Yi smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, the body is not long, and it is not difficult to copy it." Anyway, my father's birthday is four days later, so it's okay for me to copy it. She was not sure of her father's preferences, but she only knew that he liked Taoism, so she chose the Tao Te Ching to copy.
Several people talked, and when the sun sank in the west, Jin Chao and Gu Xi left.
Gu Yi went to the study, found "Peng Niao Fu" and asked the girl to lay paper on the bookcase for her, and slowly copied it.
She wrote for a while, and the girl lit a lamp for her on the bookcase, and there were bean-sized dots of light in the dark night, which were really not bright.
"It's so late, what are you still writing?" A voice came from the door of the study.
Gu Yi put down his pen and looked over, frowned, and said softly: "Aunt Du, why did you come here?" ”
Du Jingqiu wore a cloak with dark patterns of autumn fragrance and flowers, and stood quietly at the door looking at Gu Yi. It's so late at night, she's still copying books, and she's only lit a lamp, and she's not afraid of ruining her eyes.
She walked in and found Gu Yi looking at her quietly, the expression on her face was not very pleasant, and she wanted to say again: "I...... I just came to see you and made you a cup of rock sugar pear water, I heard that you had a cough a few days ago......"
"Thank you aunt for your concern, it's just that the cold evil has entered the body, and I'm already too good." Gu Yi replied very politely.
This kid has always disliked himself, but Du Jingqiu has never experienced it so deeply. Gu Yi doesn't like her kitsch, she doesn't like her pandering to others, she prefers people like Ji who have read books and are gentle by nature. She knew all of this, and she didn't want to blame her.
Du Jingqiu looked at Gu Yi and smiled slightly: "You are all married, and you will go to Du's house in two years." I didn't pay attention, you're so old...... This is very good, or is it well taught by Madame. She said to Gu Yi again, "You have to learn to feed the Lord now, follow the eldest lady more, don't contradict her, and be polite to the second miss......"
She babbled on and on, and she had said these things many times.
Gu Yi knew everything in her heart, so she was a little impatient to hear it, but she didn't say anything. Aunt Du lives in Tongruo Building, and Aunt Guo, who lives with her, doesn't care about others. She has nothing to do, so she will naturally be lonely.
After Du Jingqiu finished speaking, she put the food box in her arms on a wenge wooden table next to her and said that she was leaving.
Gu Yi watched her slowly walk to the bottom of the corridor, and then made up her mind to call her: "Auntie." ”
Du Jingqiu looked back at her, as if waiting for something.
Gu Yi whispered, "You go to bed early." ”
Hearing this, Du Jingqiu seemed to be relaxed, nodded and smiled, and then hurriedly walked into the night.
On the side of Cuixuan Courtyard, Gu Lan received a reply from Gu Jinrong.
Gu Jinrong doesn't remember much about his childhood, and when he heard Gu Lan ask about his childhood maidservant, he thought about it for a while. said that he probably remembered that Yuping was a person from Shuntianfu, and when her mother died, she once went back to the funeral, and when she came back, she brought him a bag of Li Ji's fried chestnuts with sugar. But Mama was afraid that he would have a bad stomach, so she quietly threw it away, and he still remembered that he had cried for a long time.
Speaking of childhood events, he became interested again and wrote a lot. His childhood years were spent with his mother and Sister Lan. He also said that there was too much schoolwork recently, so that he couldn't rush back on his father's birthday, so he asked someone to bring a birthday gift and asked Gu Lan to spend his father's birthday well.
Gu Lan was a little disappointed, but also, who would care where a girl's hometown was.
She took the letter to Song Miaohua.
After Song Miaohua saw it, she asked Qiaowei to come over: "...... You take Mrs. Chen, go to Li Jitang fried chestnuts in Shuntian Mansion, and inquire about Yuping nearby. ”
Gu Lan took Song Miaohua's hand and asked, "Mother, Shuntianfu is so big, it is really a needle in a haystack to find a shop for sugar-fried chestnuts." ”
Song Miaohua smiled: "The things that the girl brought over should be very famous in the local area." Just ask. ”
Gu Lan secretly admired her mother in her heart, but she was still not as comprehensive as her mother.
Song Miaohua said of her birthday ceremony: "...... You haven't spoken to your father in a month, so take the opportunity of your birthday to behave well. Have you framed the Tao Te Ching? ”
Gu Lan smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, I'm done." ”
In a blink of an eye, it was Gu Dezhao's birthday.
There were several tables of wine in the outer courtyard. After sixty years, the birthday can be celebrated, this is just inviting Gu Dezhao's colleagues to eat and drink.
The Jin Dynasty got up early in the morning, and Qingpu served her to change into a satin dress with a rhombic pattern of the Hunan concubine, a plain skirt with a raised line, and hung a sachet with a stone blue treasure pattern pattern on the orchid grass. Then he whispered to her: "Today, Mother Tong came to say, the eldest young master and the second miss corresponded again." ”
Jin Chao looked at the jade gourd pendant hanging from his ear in the mirror, and sighed after a long time: "He is really ...... Anyway, I'm afraid that only when Gu Lan really endangers him will he know how to take precautions, what am I. ”
was dressing up, Gu Yi and Gu Xi came to her, and they said that they would go together to congratulate their father.
Jin Chao asked them to sit in the west room first, and she freshened up. Seeing Gu Yi's girl holding the framed words, she took a closer look and found that it was Gu Yi's new copy of "Peng Niao Fu", which was copied very well, in addition to the softness that a woman should have, there is no lack of simplicity and elegance.
Gu Xi's paper-cut of the five bats for longevity was folded by her and put into a sachet, and the sachet drooped a blue and purple tassel, which was very beautiful. Jin Chao saw it and said with a smile: "You make such a fancy job, my father won't wear it!" ”
Gu Xi didn't mind: "I just did this, it's too late to change it!" ”
When the three of them arrived at Juliu Pavilion, Aunt Song was waiting for Gu Dezhao to dress, and Jin Chao and the others were waiting in the east room. When Gu Dezhao came out, he wore a royal blue Hangzhou silk jacket, and his spirit was flying. Aunt Song glanced at Jin Chao and smiled with her eyebrows: "The eldest lady came so early!" ”
Jin Chao's heart sank, and he smiled quietly: "Where can I be earlier than my aunt." Then he looked at his father.
Gu Dezhao clenched his fist to his mouth and coughed, just to hide his embarrassment.
Because of Sister Lan'er's affairs, Sister Chao was estranged from him a lot, and the Cheng Wangxi he invited to Sister Chao was really out of bounds, but he made Sister Chao angry. I reconciled with Aunt Song at this time, and Sister Chao must be even more dissatisfied with herself.
He waved Aunt Song's hand, walked over and said with a smile: "Sister Chao'er came so early, she must have prepared a birthday gift for me." ”RS
