Chapter 13: Auntie

Mother did not agree to Jin Chao's suggestion and gave Gu Dezhao a room for his aunt.

Jin Chao was tending to the begonias he had planted, while thinking quietly.

It's normal for a mother to be unwilling, who wants her husband to take a lot of concubines, not to mention that the two used to be so affectionate. And in the mother's opinion, there is no need to marry another aunt, and now several aunts in the family can be regarded as obedient, and if the new aunt is disobedient, it will be a headache.

Although Ji thought so, Gu Jinchao couldn't.

She can't let Aunt Song conceive a child, with a child to rely on, Aunt Song's future road will be much easier, and in the case of Gu Jinrong facing Gu Lan, she can be said to have lost the opportunity. I had to make my mother aware of the horrors of this, and she couldn't say it yet.

Ruka helped her hand her scissors, and after repairing the flowers and plants, she served her to wash her hands with the newly made rose juice in the conservatory.

Gu Jinchao asked Qingpu to carry a few pots of orchids to his father and Gu Jinrong, orchids are rare in winter. She has a lot of them in her conservatory, and most of the people who read cherish orchids, and presumably her father and younger brother also like them.

Today is the twenty-second, and the house is already lively. The shopkeeper and the steward who accompanied the mother to marry came early to pay New Year's greetings, and there was no time to come on the first day of the new year, and the things were also brought a lot, and the mother just asked the shopkeeper of Changzhou Mansion to help her play a silver silk bun, saying that it was necessary to step up and do it, and it was best to do it before the Lantern Festival. Jin Chao listened to the ridicule, during the Lantern Festival, the Yongyang uncle's family was going to hold a lantern festival, and her mother was looking forward to her finding a wishful husband to come back.

Her mother introduced her to Baodi's Song Chuan Song shopkeeper and Luo Yongpingluo's shopkeeper. Song Chuan is very thin and has a goatee. Luo Yongping was wearing a satin robe with a treasure pattern, looking white and chubby, smiling, and his mother said Luo Yongping: "My hometown is in Xinxiang Mansion, and my grandmother is from the same township." ”

When Jin Chao heard Xinxiang Mansion, he glanced at this person again. She has an impression of this man.

When she began to take care of her dowry, the original shopkeeper had already been replaced by Aunt Song, but this Luo Yongping has always been there, he is very eloquent with a mouth, and his tongue is like a spring. Originally, when my mother was there, I didn't like this kind of flamboyant person very much, and I kept him because he was quite neat, but he never reused it.

But Gu Jinchao's silk shop went wrong, and it was all brought back to life by his clever mouth, and later the silk shop was also run by him, and he also bought exquisite Shu embroidery and Hunan embroidery from Sichuan, Hunan and other places through the Ji family's merchant ships. It's a pity that she was seized of power, and even the dowry was collected, and later these shops fell into the hands of the second sister-in-law.

After several shopkeepers retreated, Jin Chao asked Xu's mother to bring the gift prepared by Luo Yongping.

“…… It is a pair of jadeite jade bracelets, and the color is excellent. Mother Xu looked at the light and replied to Ji's.

Ji Shi frowned: "Sister Chao thinks this person is available?" I think Song Chuan is more reliable, and he was a talented person back then, and he was amiable. She doesn't like Luo Yongping very much, but she is also the person her mother gave her, and she sees that she is a fellow villager, so it is not easy to send it away.

Gu Jinchao knew that his mother was not good at this, and said with a smile: "This business is different from learning, mother don't judge people by their appearance." ”

Gu Jinchao met this person in the eastern power, he was the shopkeeper of his mother's marriage, and he was her domestic slave, and there was no need for men and women.

Luo Yongping didn't expect the eldest lady to see him, so he was flattered, kowtowed and said a lot of compliments. Jin Chao asked him to get up, asked him about the silk shop in Baodi, and explained the matter of Brother Liuxiang, Luo Yongping happily agreed, and the matter explained by the eldest lady would naturally be done.

The days go fast, twenty-three sacrifice stove days, twenty-four write couplets, and put three livestock cooked food, melons and fruits and wine in front of the ancestral tablet, waiting for the first day of the New Year. These things are now done by Aunt Song, and the Jin Dynasty also assists.

Aunt Song thought that she was young and unskilled in doing things and would be in a hurry, so she handed over the matter on the stove to her. The Jin Dynasty originally managed a huge backyard of the Chen family, and this little thing was naturally easy, but Aunt Song was so busy that the person who served her father was replaced by Aunt Guo.

Jin Chao came to Tong's mother again, it was about to be the New Year, and she wanted to prepare a new set of winter clothes and jewelry for the girls in Qingtong Academy, and then divide some silver coins.

At this time, Bai Yun walked in and passed the message: "Miss, the aunt of Zhenzhou Mansion is here." was talking to Madame, and Mother Xu asked Pinmei to come over and tell you. ”

Mrs. Aunt? Jin Chao frowned, she couldn't remember for a while that there were still people in Zhenzhou Mansion and the Gu family.

Qingpu reminded in a low voice: "...... It's the elder sister who married into Zhenzhou Mansion. ”

As soon as Qingpu said this, Jin Chao remembered. 's father is the sixth, but there is only one sister above, who married into the Xu family of Zhenzhou Mansion.

What to do at this time? At the end of the year, she was in the middle of the main feed, and she was busy to death.

Jin Chao's mind changed, and she went to visit her mother first...... I guess I heard something outside, and I came to see my mother's condition. My mother has been sick for more than half a year and has not improved, but her body has not deteriorated, but she is dragging on sickly. The Gu family had to come and see it, but they didn't know why they asked the married aunt to come over......

"Are you going now? The slave and maid will serve you to change your clothes. Ruka asked her.

Jin Chao shook his head: "Wait a minute, my father will send someone to let me go, I don't have to change clothes, it's good to wear this." She was wearing a white embroidered crane and orchid dress, and a water-blue twig-patterned woven satin jacket, although it was a little plain, but it was also generally solemn. However, it can't be too simple to see Mrs. Gu in the past, Jin Chao faded the hollow silver bracelet that he often wore on his wrist, replaced it with a pair of jadeite with a transparent color, and decorated it with three gold silk gemstone beads.

Sure enough, after a while, the Biyue girl next to her father came to pass the word.

Mrs. Gu was in the reception room of Juliu Pavilion, because her mother was unwell, she called Aunt Song and Aunt Du to talk to her, and Gu Lan and other three younger sisters were here.

Gu Jinchao stepped into the room, and her father beckoned her over: "Jinchao, come and meet your aunt!" ”

Gu Jinchao looked up, and saw a woman wearing a red makeup unicorn mending silk velvet coat, a silver silk heart, and a golden longevity sideburns, looking at Gu Jinchao with a smile: "Our sister Chao has grown so big, and she is becoming more and more beautiful and moving!" ”

The father was also very happy: "The last time you saw her was when she was eleven years old, but she hasn't grown up. ”

Jin Chao saluted politely, and her father asked her to sit down with her sisters, Gu Lan took her hand and whispered, "Eldest sister, I have to apologize to you for the matter of Qingpu......" She was wearing a crimson satin jacket, which was more colorful than usual.

Jin Chao laughed quietly: "What did the second sister say?" I don't even remember. ”

Gu Lan was choked for a while, if she made it clear, wouldn't she have made it clear that she had a close relationship with Gu Jinrong, and even knew that Gu Jinrong went to Jinchao to question.

"It's my sister who forgot." Gu Lan smiled, "Qingpu still has some jewelry from her sister, waiting for Ming'er to send it to her." ”

Jin Chao sat up straight, a smile on his lips. Rao is Gu Lan is smart and resourceful, but he is still too young to hold his breath.

Mrs. Gu talked to her father: "My niece, one is beautiful, Sister Chao is bright, Sister Lan is beautiful, Sister Xi and Sister Yi are also beautiful embryos. If you choose a son-in-law in the future, you will definitely be a talented person with a full stomach. ”

Gu Lan smiled and said, "It is said that nephews are like uncles, and we are also like yours." ”

Everyone was amused by her, and Mrs. Gu praised her: "This child is clever and smart, and he is so excited that he praises people." ”

Gu Jinchao noticed that Aunt Song's smile stiffened, others were happy, she, as a biological mother, was definitely not happy when she heard her daughter say this.

At this time, Gu Jinrong also came over to ask his aunt for peace, and his aunt's favorite was obviously Gu Jinrong, praised him a few times, and rewarded him with the peace charm he wore all year round: "At this time, my aunt asked for it from the Great Country Temple, and it was very effective. ”

Jin Chao couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, Gu Lan's habit of begging for rewards was probably coming again. Sure enough, Gu Lan immediately took his aunt's hand and said, "My aunt is partial, Brother Rong is polite, and the four of us sisters also want it, which can be regarded as New Year's money." ”

She is coquettish, not only is not annoying, but pitiful.

But when it comes to what they do, she doesn't want to make money, and besides, they are all good people. Jin Chao said: "A few sisters just want it, I'll forget it." ”

Mrs. Gu was a little embarrassed, she came in a hurry and did not prepare a gift. It's not good to give away what you have in hand.

Aunt Song also found out, and secretly said that Gu Lan's habit of begging for gifts had to be changed, so she played a round and said: "I don't think it's better for the master to send it, and the house just sent some gold and silver jewelry, which is very exquisite!" ”

Mrs. Gu glanced at Aunt Song gratefully, and her father said, "The newly sent gold and silver jewelry books from the house are also for you, and if you see anything you like, go and get it." "He doesn't care about that.

Gu Lan said with a smile: "I think the two sets of gold silk buns sent from Changzhou Mansion are very good, the ruby embedded on them is translucent and clear, one is a baby play lotus pattern, and there is a hollow green jade inlay." One is a lotus-patterned auspicious cloud, twelve taels of gold, and a golden delicate grass insect head......"

Jin Chao's heart moved slightly, this is her head sent by the shopkeeper of Changzhou Mansion, I didn't expect it to be sent like this. Why did Gu Lan mention this, did she want it too? Although she didn't value these, her mother made them for her, and she took out the ruby at the bottom of her box, and her mother thought of all the accessories on it and personally instructed Ge to be the shopkeeper.

My father said, "Changzhou Mansion Ge shopkeeper...... That's what Xiang Jun made for the Jin Dynasty. ”

Xiangjun is the word for mother.

Aunt Song smiled and said: "Look at our Sister Lan, you haven't been able to wear those yet, and you can't wear those, the eldest sister's things are naturally the eldest sister's." If you want, my mother still has some sapphires there, and I can make you a silk butterfly love flower hairpin? ”

Gu Lan was also a little ashamed: "I didn't know that it was the eldest sister's, but it was also, I saw that the ruby on it was so beautiful, and the workmanship was exquisite, naturally my mother made it for the eldest sister......"

Gu Jinchao's hand clenched.

Gu Lan was so young, and her words were so poisonous, she was clearly saying that her mother was partial. If you don't give it to her, you'll be stingy.
