Without further ado, Jin Chao asked his grandmother to resign the next day and prepared to take Russell back.

My grandmother also knew what she was thinking about, and she didn't keep it. Jin Chao asked Russell to dress up as an ordinary girl and followed him into his carriage, Gu Jinrong didn't notice, he took a lot of books and inkstones from his uncle and second uncle, and went straight to the car in front.

When he arrived at Gu's house, Jin Chao took Russell to see his mother.

Ji looked at Russell for a long time, asked her to retreat and closed her eyes and nodded: "The person is still good, have you arranged a place to live?" ”

Jin Chao smiled: "Mother don't worry, I will first arrange a quiet residence next to Juliu Pavilion, and I plan to tell my father tomorrow." ”

Ji pondered for a moment: "Her mother's side, can she give a gift?" ”

Jin Chao replied: "I sealed 1,000 taels first, and when my father officially accepted her, I will seal dozens of dowries." Although she is an aunt, she is also the niece of the original Aunt Yun, she has been serving you for more than ten years, and her niece should be more beautiful when she gets married. ”

Ji sighed: "Yun Xiang was also loyal to me back then. He also instructed Xu's mother to go to Jing'an House to teach Russell etiquette, and the women who came out of small households were always not as thoughtful as everyone's ladies.

Jin Chao saw that her mother was no longer talking, so she asked Mo Yu to bring her mother's medicine and feed it herself, she had only been gone for a few days, and she felt that her mother had lost some weight, and her chin was so sharp that she could cut through paper. Knowing that she must be sad and bitter at home, except for the two aunts, who will talk to her. After drinking the medicine, she took her mother's hand to trim her nails, and polished the burrs for her.

Ji Shi saw Jin Chao lowering his head and cutting his nails very carefully, and his heart softened.

Her Jin Dynasty is now more sensible. Do these things thoughtfully, and don't need her to bother to give advice.

She looked up at the window, it was a blue sunny day, and the soft sunlight was shining on the snow. “…… Whoever your father likes, it seems that he is sincere, and he likes it with all his might. Back then, they liked me, Yunxiang, and Aunt Song, all like this. But this kind of liking gradually fades with time, the one who died early...... Instead, he became the person who was most engraved in his heart. She certainly hadn't thought of it......"

Jin Chao's hand paused, why did her mother tell her this?

"Yun Xiang is your father's favorite person, because if he got her when he wanted her the most, and died when he liked her the most, his liking for Yun Xiang would never change......" Ji Shi muttered, she turned her head to see Jin Chao looking at her. Holding her hand, "Jin Chao, guard against Aunt Song, she may not care about other things, she will definitely stop this." ”

"She can't tolerate anyone else taking away her ...... favor"

Gu Lan was learning needlework with Song Miaohua in the pavilion, she took her mother's hand and told her about the events of the ancestral family that day.

After hearing this, Song Miaohua shook her head and smiled: "I didn't expect our eldest lady to know how to play tricks...... It's a lot smarter than before. ”

Gu Lan frowned, and said softly: "Mother, aren't you in a hurry, Gu Jinchao is getting more and more unpredictable now...... What is her idea, is there something capable around her, that Qingpu, or Mother Tong? ”

Song Miaohua took the small bandage, and there was a pair of yellow carp embroidered on the small bandage, and the head and tail of the fish were connected, which was very cute.

She continued to embroider lotus buds next to the carp, and said lightly: "You don't care what she does, people will not be stupid for the rest of their lives...... Now that Mrs. has been ill for a long time, if she accidentally dies. I am most likely to be corrected, and by that time, Rao is Gu Jinchao is capable of everything, and she can't make waves. ”

Song Miaohua was calm, touched the pair of carp with her fingers, and said with a smile: "When you were a child, I made you a belly pocket, and you loved the carp pattern the most, and you didn't like anything else." The carp is good, do more embroidery samples, maybe it will be useful in the future......"

Gu Lan thought for a while, and only said after a while: "I understand my mother, the current situation is the best." I'll just have to wait. ”

Song Miaohua turned to the side and was about to say something to her, but saw her eldest maid Qiaowei hurriedly walking over from the corridor.

“…… Auntie, news from the attendant. The eldest lady came back from Tongzhou and brought back two strange girls, one fifteen or sixteen and the other twelve or thirteen. ”

Gu Lan sneered: "Xu is her grandmother who sees that the fragrance around her is gone, so she will reward her girl again!" ”

Song Miaohua frowned: "Her grandmother wants to reward her girl, can she use a twelve-thirteen, she still needs everything!" He looked at Qiao Wei again and said, "I ask you, but you are in a carriage with her?" ”

Qiao Wei thought for a while: "The woman didn't say it, but she said that fifteen or sixteen girl was born extremely beautiful." ”

Song Miaohua's face changed, and she stood up suddenly.

Gu Lan looked at his mother: "What's wrong?" What's wrong with this girl? ”

Song Miaohua closed her eyes and thought about it, and after a while, she instructed Qiaowei: "Prepare a few plates of snacks, let's go wash the dust and catch the wind for the eldest lady." ”

Qiao Wei also knew that the matter was urgent, so she hurriedly agreed to retreat, and Song Miaohua saw that her daughter was still looking at her, so she said: "Your brother has just come back from Tongzhou, go talk to him." You don't have to worry about it beforehand. ”

Gu Lan pouted: "You don't have to worry about him, he is disgusted with Gu Jinchao now, and he can't wait to have this sister!" ”

Song Miaohua looked at the lake and said coldly: "That's not necessarily, you, the eldest sister, are about to turn the sky upside down now." ”

Song Miaohua soon went to Qingtong Courtyard with Qiaowei.

Gu Jinchao came back from her mother, and Bai Yun was waiting for her on the way, telling her that Aunt Song was coming.

Cai Fu was a little surprised: "Aunt Song heard the wind so soon?" ”

Jin Chao smiled: "Do you think she is joking to manage the inner courtyard for most of the year?" "Up and down this inner courtyard, I don't know how many girls have been dotted by her and have been used by her. She can't spare her hands to rectify it now, after all, Aunt Song is in the limelight.

Jin Chao is not in a hurry, since the person has arrived, Aunt Song is weak.

Song Miaohua saw Gu Jinchao walk in, stood up and said with a smile: "...... Send a few plates of pastries, the eldest lady just came back, and she must have been tired. ”

He also instructed the girl to open the food box and put out a plate of raw flowers, fruits, puff pastries, muffins, and Buddha jackfruit.

Jin Chao instructed Yutong to serve tea to Aunt Song, and Aunt Song was not in a hurry after sitting down, she drank tea slowly and talked to Jin Chao: "...... The eldest lady came back at the right time, the lord will soon return to the court, and the house has been busy recently, so I don't have time to serve the lady every day. It's best if you can help serve Madame...... However, the lord's mentor Lord Lin estimates that he will be promoted at the beginning of the year, and the lord has been busy recently, and he is afraid that something will go wrong in his career, so he is cautious in his words and deeds, and the house has not even invested money in the Shi'an Lantern Festival this year. ”

Every year, the Lantern Festival in Shi'an is paid for by several large families in Shi'an, and the Gu family generally pays 3,000 taels.

Aunt Song came to persuade her, afraid that she would not be able to see the current situation clearly, do things indiscriminately, and annoy her father's mood.

Gu Jinchao knew in his heart that his father's mentor, Lin Xian, would not be promoted. By June of this year, the current Emperor Mu Zong is about to die, after his death, the government and the opposition will be chaotic, and then the first auxiliary minister of the cabinet Zhang Julian and the eunuch Feng Cheng of the ceremonial supervisor Bingbi control the government, and the household department is also the second master of the Chen family who has a deep relationship with Zhang Julian, and Lin Xianzhong was transferred to the governor of Zhejiang.

Although his father is not a person under Zhang Julian, he is not a military general or a person from the Guixun family, and he barely managed to protect himself in this chaos between the government and the opposition, but he was not promoted until the Jin Dynasty married into the Chen family.

Jin Chao smiled and said slowly: "It's a pity, the lantern festival in Shi'an is the most lively every year." ”

Aunt Song's face was a little unsightly.

She thought that with Gu Jinchao's mind, she could understand the meaning of her words. Did she really not understand, or was she playing dumb with herself? Or don't give up, you have to show the person to the master?

Aunt Song knew in her heart that even if Gu Jinchao really found a stunning beauty to come back to Gu Dezhao as a concubine, it would be difficult for Gu Dezhao to agree. She stopped her now, just to think about the master, don't let this reckless eldest lady make trouble for her everywhere!

I don't know if this was instructed by the Ji family, this person is really getting sicker and more confused!

Since Gu Jinchao didn't listen, she didn't want to say any more. The big deal is to help her clean up the mess and wipe her ass, and she used to help do these things. Aunt Song smiled and said, "Yes, seeing that the eldest lady and Lu have been together for more than half a year, it's time to think about marriage, and you must pay attention to yourself at this time." I still have some things to do, so I'll take my leave. ”

Jin Chao picked up the teacup and said slowly: "Yuzhu, send off guests." ”

The little girl stood behind the curtain and quickly responded, and Aunt Song's face froze...... actually called a third-class girl to send her.

"Miss, I don't have to, I still know the way." Aunt Song gritted her teeth and smiled, and left with Qiaowei.

Yuzhu opened the curtain and jumped in, Bai Yun saw it and whispered to her: "It's not ...... look"

Yuzhu stuck out her tongue, she gave birth to a round bun face, and her eyes were also round, which was very cute.

"Miss......" Yuzhu sat by the fire and turned over the silver silk charcoal, and whispered to Jin Chao, "How do I think, Aunt Song laughs strangely, not like a good person......" Her expression was very serious.

Bai Yun was a little annoyed, this little girl usually belongs to her**, and she is not careful when she speaks in front of the young lady!

Gu Jinchao asked her with a smile: "Why doesn't she look like a good person anymore?" ”

Yuzhu tilted her head: "She only has a layer of skin on her face laughing!" The other layers of cheeks are angry! ”

Gu Jinchao laughed out loud after hearing this, and even Bai Yun and Qingpu couldn't help laughing, this girl was really funny when she spoke.
