Chapter 50: Seeing Through
After saying that, Mrs. Wen took a sip of tea, feeling a little puzzled in her heart.
Gu Jinchao let herself come to see the flowers, but for some reason she took her to the west to drink tea and talk to herself, she didn't have much time...... Just as I was thinking about whether to say anything, I saw a tall girl enter through the curtain.
"Miss, you let Yuzhu move into the flower room a few camellias. A few of the plants in the flower hall have not moved. ”
Jin Chao glanced at Qingpu and understood.
She asked Yuzhu to continue to watch outside Mrs. Li's wing, and if Gu Lan went, she would immediately come and tell her.
Gu Lan's personality has always been high and low, just like she wants to trample Jin Chao into the soil in order to praise herself. I don't know how she will appease Mrs. Li, Jin Chao really wants to hear it, and he will also take Mrs. Wen to listen to it by the way.
"Since the flowers have been moved, it is better to ask Mrs. Wen to take a look at the greenhouse." Jin Chao smiled and invited Mrs. Wen to the conservatory.
Mrs. Wen breathed a sigh of relief and asked Gu Jinrong again: "...... I wonder if the eldest young master also wants to see it? ”
Although Gu Jinrong still couldn't pull his face to please this Gu Jinchao, he stood stiffly to the side, but he would not be cold to Jinchao's scene, so he said: "I didn't know that the eldest sister raised camellias, so I went to open my eyes." ”
Jin Chao took them to the conservatory, and the camellia in the conservatory had already been grateful, but the other flowers were blooming just right. When many Jianlan and Huilan are in full bloom, the jasmine flowers she raised are adorned with branches, and the petals are layered like hydrangeas.
Mrs. Wen was surprised: "Don't say anything else, this jewel jasmine blooms so well." ”
Jin Chao smiled and said to Mrs. Wen: "It likes to be warm and humid, and it is not easy to feed in Yanjing. I originally had three pots, but even if I served them carefully, I only had this one left, otherwise I could have given them to my wife. But when it comes to blooming well, a white orchid behind your and Mrs. Li's residence blooms well, the fragrance is quiet and elegant, and the fragrance of the flowers can be smelled from a long distance. ”
Mrs. Wen said, "I like the fragrance of white orchids very much...... But it's strange how I didn't see this white orchid. ”
Jin Chao said with a smile: "It's just at the back of the wing, maybe you haven't been to the back to see it." Why don't I take you to see it! ”
Mrs. Wen really likes white orchids, which are rare on weekdays, and she also wants to go with Jin Chao to see them.
Jin Chao turned sideways to Gu Jinrong and said, "If Jin Rong is not busy, it is better to come and see the white orchid." ”
Gu Jinrong's lips pursed slightly, he had just met the second sister, and he still had a lot to say to the second sister.
Seeing him hesitate, Jin Chao smiled lightly: "If you don't want to, forget it......"
"It doesn't hurt for me to see." When Gu Jinrong saw her smile, he seemed to remember the disappointment she was tearing up at herself that day, and the words she said changed.
Jin Chao brought his own girl, and Mrs. Wen was also accompanied by a personal girl. Gu Jinrong was alone, walking in front of them.
"There are a lot of Xiangfei bamboos planted behind the wings, my mother likes the high purity of bamboo, and I think it is better to use the mountains to accompany her, so I let people pile up the Taihu Lake stone rockery, and lead the spring water to flow down from above, do the sound of high mountain flowing water." Jin Chao told Mrs. Wen about the rockery, "Later, my father personally wrote the word 'Jiuzhi' on it, and invited a craftsman to carve it, which matched with Xiangfei bamboo." ”
Legend has it that Emperor Shun's two concubines, Empress E, sought to chase Emperor Shun for thousands of miles. After arriving at Jiuzhi Mountain, Emperor Wen Shun has collapsed, the two concubines hugged the bamboo and cried bitterly, shed tears into blood, and fell on the bamboo to form spots, so it is also called "tear bamboo", or "Xiangfei bamboo".
Mrs. Wen praised this Taihu Lake rockery: "...... Stacked superbly! ”
Along the rockery, the stone path leads to the Xiangfei bamboo forest, and the Xiangfei bamboo forest is the wing, and there is a path leading to the flower hall next to the wing. The flower hall is blocked by a half-wall, and the wall is made of a leaky window, so you can see the plantain or weeping willow planted next to it, and the scenery is excellent.
Mrs. Wen couldn't see the white orchid tree, and asked Jin Chaodao, "Could it be that ......it has been moved elsewhere?"
Jin Chao thought about it for a while, and suddenly realized: "I forgot, this white orchid is behind the flower hall, next to the leaky window!" ”
A few people turned a clump of Xiangfei bamboo, and when they arrived at the back of the flower hall, they saw a white orchid.
It's just that now is not the time to bloom, and the pale green buds are dotted between the leaves.
Mrs. Wen inevitably felt a pity: "It hasn't bloomed yet......"
Gu Jinrong said in a low voice: "It seems that someone is talking inside!" ”
Madame Wen looked at him in disbelief, and she listened intently, and sure enough, she heard a clear voice coming from the wall.
“…… The eldest aunt doesn't need to be surprised, isn't Mrs. Wen such a person. She loves to be lively and flashy, and always likes more money, and you don't have to mind her flattering face in front of Ji Wu. Actually, to tell you the truth, when she talked about me at the time, I was also very unhappy......"
When Mrs. Wen heard this, the corners of her mouth tightened. She motioned for Jin Chao to get out of the way, and she personally brushed aside the leaves of the white orchid and looked into the leaky window. But seeing Gu Lan and Mrs. Li sitting opposite each other, Gu Lan turned his back to herself, and she could see the expression on Mrs. Li's face clearly.
"I know in my heart that my aunt is good, not to mention who in Yanjing doesn't praise my two cousins for being virtuous and virtuous. In fact, I also belong to you, after all, the official position of the eldest uncle is higher than that of the second uncle, if you can give me a flute, I feel even more honored. It's just that Mrs. Wen found my aunt first, saying that she wanted to give me a flute, so that you wouldn't have to fight with her...... My aunt is also helpless! ”
Mrs. Li had a mocking smile on her face: "She always likes to scramble...... Who has the energy to be in the limelight like her! ”
Mrs. Wen was confused when she heard this, and a feeling like a fish in her throat made her very aggrieved, what was Gu Lan talking about?
When she reacted, the grievance turned into anger.
Good for you, Gu Lan! Did I have to go to your mother and tell me I was going to plug you in? It's not that you and your mother said in front of me how it is not easy for you, and how you are oppressed by Miss Gu, I agreed to help you out of sympathy! He also said that he would find you a good family! It's good for you to play with me in front of me and behind your back, and talk to Song Miaoying, a villain, saying that mine is not!
Jin Chao's heart said that this was indeed the case, Gu Lan really wanted to separate Mrs. Wen and Mrs. Li.
She whispered to Mrs. Wen: "What is Sister Lan talking about, why does it look like she is slandering you...... Why don't I go out and say a word to her! It's a bit of a no-brainer......"
Gu Jinrong was also surprised when he heard what Gu Lan said, but he didn't understand the truth and couldn't judge right or wrong. But looking at Mrs. Wen's expression of gritting teeth, she knew that what Gu Lan said was probably not a good thing...... He was shocked and puzzled.
After all, Mrs. Wen has also been a person who has been floating in the inner courtyard for more than ten years, so she immediately pressed Gu Jinchao's hand and said coldly: "Don't worry, I want to hear what she wants to say about me again......
"Mrs. Wen also talked to my aunt about you, and I was embarrassed to say that...... It's nothing more than about the eldest uncle, saying that the eldest uncle has already had a concubine and a son in Shaanxi, and he hasn't wanted to come back to see you......" Gu Lan said this, and Mrs. Li's face changed.
"That's what she said?" Mrs. Li was so angry that her voice trembled, the world is like this, she is most afraid that others will talk about her sore spots, if she really talks about it, she will jump her feet like a cat that has stepped on its tail, and she will go crazy.
Gu Lan's voice was extremely soft and calm: "My aunt also persuaded her, the rumors in the market are not credible, and you and your eldest uncle have always respected each other." Let Mrs. Wen not think about it, but you know Mrs. Wen's personality, she likes to talk about these things with her mother-in-law, and she likes to provoke right and wrong, take things on your body, and you can talk about it everywhere......"
Mrs. Li gritted her teeth and said, "I know, she did this!" "Mrs. Wen is notoriously lively and chatty with other people's parents. Although others didn't mind, she never liked Mrs. Wen's behavior in her heart. She couldn't help but scold her: "...... Gossip! ”
Gu Lan hurriedly held her hand and said, "Don't be angry, my aunt said that I persuaded her." It's not worth it to be angry with her! ”
……
Outside the window, Mrs. Wen stared at Gu Lan, so angry that the tendons in the corners of her forehead kept beating!
It's just a scheming femme fatale who likes to tell right and wrong.
Yesterday, she pretended to be a weak and pitiful person in front of her, but today she has changed her face and played right and wrong in front of others!
She actually felt that Gu Lan was too innocent, and she still defended her in front of Gu Jinchao! still believes that she was bullied by others, and she promised to help her find a good family, she is simply blind!
Although she was extremely angry, Mrs. Wen held back and didn't make a sound at all, listening to the movement inside.
Gu Lan comforted Mrs. Li, and she finally calmed down.
Mrs. Li took a sip of tea and said, "...... I don't care about her, I know that she is that kind of person, I still care so much, it is I who hurts my spirit. Just niece...... I still have one fact on my mind, you...... Your father, why did you choose Gu Jinchao as your admirer? Her virtue and character, which point is worthy of being your praiser? ”
Speaking of this, Gu Lan couldn't help but sigh: "Aunt thinks I volunteered? This is what her father had to do for her. Of course I know that Gu Jinchao has a bad character, look at it, she has been going to live for a year, and who has a serious family background dares to come to the door to ask to marry her, she has become the laughing stock of the Gu family, even if she is good-looking, what can she do...... None of the things she did were chilling. ”
Mrs. Li inevitably asked her: "I just heard about it, but I don't know what she did......
Gu Lan said helplessly: "I can't talk about her." It's okay to bully me on weekdays, and I don't care about that...... Because of a little mistake, she beat her girl crazy and drove her out of the house. and did not force his father to take a concubine. My younger brother didn't want to study in Qifang Hutong and had to take care of his seriously ill mother, but she couldn't see my brother at home and drove people away from my mother's sickbed......"
