Chapter 21: Leaf Limit
When Jin Chao heard Aunt Song mention the name of Changxinghou, his eyebrows suddenly jumped.
She is very familiar with this Changxing home! Chen Sanye studied under Zhang Julian, who was a leader among the civil ministers, and has always been incompatible with Changxinghou and others. Later, Zhang Julian once controlled the government, and Changxinghou used military power to suppress him. Even Chen Sanye's death is inseparable from Changxinghou.
But these all happened a few years later, and now that the emperor is in good health, these chaotic governments will have to wait until the Wanli year......
After talking for a while, Mrs. Tai sent her mother-in-law to deliver the message. The group returned to the banquet place, the father was no longer there, Jin Chao saw that Mrs. Tai's expression was quite peaceful, and secretly thought that the two of them had a good chat, and it would be beneficial to the father to have a good relationship with the ancestral family, not to mention that Gu Wuye also married the daughter of Changxinghou......
Although no one knows, how could Chang Xinghou's concubine fall in love with him!
Mrs. Tai specially beckoned Jin Chao over: "...... The last time I saw Sister Chao, you were so tall. She compared it with her hand and said with a smile, "If you have to go to the rockery to play, no one can hold you, and you fell from it, do you remember?" ”
Jin Chao naturally smiled: "Grandmother is tolerant, she is just young and stubborn and ignorant." ”
"The eyebrows and eyes are also open, what a delicate beauty." Mrs. Tai praised her, "She is also sensible, what the outside world says...... I think seeing is believing, and our sister Chao'er is also a dignified and beautiful girl. What she didn't say, Gu Jinchao naturally knew what it was, in her previous life, her bad things spread all over Shi'an, but he didn't expect Daxing to be the same.
Mrs. Tai beckoned Gu Lan again: "Your father said that your female celebrity is very good, and you are friendly, and I think you are also a wonderful person." Can you talk about your family? ”
Gu Lan's face turned slightly red when he heard this, and he said, "...... Although some said they were married, their father refused. ”
Mrs. Tai said: "Our Sister Lan naturally wants to pick a good one, and I will also pay attention to it for you, Sister Pian has already said that she is married, and she is talking about the sister-in-law of Lord Yao, a scholar of Wenhua Palace, and everyone praises me for saying that I am a good family!" "Master Yao, a scholar of Wenhuadian University, that's a cabinet minister! Sure enough, it's a good family affair.
It's just that mentioning these things in front of Gu Jinchao is not good after all...... The second lady thought to herself, Gu Jinchao had already reached the court, but she had not yet decided on a marriage. Girls are generally twelve years old when they say they are married, and the marriage is set before the marriage. Gu Jinchao is notorious, and those who come to propose marriage either want to continue the strings, or have low official positions, or the objects have various problems, and they have never found a suitable person.
The second lady glanced at Gu Jinchao and found that she still had a faint smile on her face, and she didn't seem to feel anything.
But she was calm, and the second lady nodded unconsciously, and wanted to change the topic.
“…… Mother, just now the fifth brother and daughter-in-law sent someone to say that the stage is already good. You see, is it now in the past? ”
Mrs. Tai thought for a while: "It's okay, after listening to the play, you should be at the table, and in the afternoon, you will get together to play the tag Shuanglu, and it will be more interesting." ”
The group went to the stage again, and the Gu family invited the troupe of Fangwu Society to sing, and the stage that had been repaired a long time ago was newly arranged, and it was very festive to paint red and gold. The five ladies were waiting for them there, the concubine of the Changxing Hou family, wearing a crimson twig gown and a tooth-white skirt, looking beautiful and slender. The fifth lady invited them all to take a seat, and gave the booklet to Mrs. Tai to let her play.
Fangwu Club started singing after a while, and sitting next to Jin Chao were Gu Lan and Gu Lian. Gu Lian is pampered, Gu Lan is best at dealing with this kind of person, the two of them quickly got acquainted, chatting and chatting to "The Story of the Jade Hairpin", Gu Lian listened to the drama with Mrs. Tai's taste, and suddenly heard Gu Lan say "The Story of the Jade Hairpin", and was attracted to attention for a while.
Gu Jinchao sat in the corner position, and only one cold plum tree on the left hand side was blooming well, the flower shadow was slanting, and the dark fragrance was floating. No one noticed her, but she liked it.
Mo Xue spoke to her softly: "...... Unexpectedly, the second lady actually watched "The Story of the Jade Hairpin". "The Story of the Jade Hairpin" tells the love story of the nun Chen Miaochang and the scholar Pan Bizheng, which not only violates etiquette, but also violates the religious abstinence regulations. Jin Chao smiled and said, "It's good to watch the play." ”
I don't know what kind of drama she is talking about.
"Grandmother, I'm looking for you, I'm listening to a play here!" A young man's voice suddenly caught in his ears.
Everyone watching the play looked over, and it was a young man wearing a royal blue tuan-patterned straight jacket who spoke. There were two other people behind him, one was a man with straight hair wearing a crane pattern. A young man wearing a straight shirt with azure black lines.
Everyone's eyes fell on the young man again, he was wearing a straight jacket with dark embroidery, you can see the faintly floating silver embroidery, the body is thin and slender, but a face is more beautiful than a woman, the face is like a crown of jade, the lips are red and the teeth are white, the hairpin with the bamboo pattern hosta on the head, standing quietly behind the young man with his back hand, the cold wind blows his clothes and belt, and there should be a cold plum dark fragrance floating around, and the style is unparalleled for a while.
Gu Lan was also stunned for a moment, and asked Gu Lian in a low voice: "Who is this young man......"
Gu Lian didn't answer yet, but Mrs. Tai spoke first: "And said where you went, the cousins of the fourth uncle's family are here, come and see you." Looking very happy, the three of them came over, and Mrs. Tai grabbed the young man who was the first to speak, but first pointed to the young man who was more beautiful than a woman: "This is the eldest son of the Changxing Hou family, Ye Liang." Ye Liang bowed to them lightly, and he was a little elegant.
"This is Brother Xiao, the eldest son of the second family." Mrs. Tai pointed to the man with her hair tied up, and finally patted the young man she was holding: "This is Brother Xian, the eldest son of the fifth family." The four of them saluted one by one, and Mrs. Tai briefly introduced Gu Jinchao and the others.
The three of them talked to Mrs. Tai, and everyone's eyes couldn't stop falling on the young man, he turned out to be the eldest son of Chang Xinghou! Isn't it the most powerful one here, no wonder Mrs. Tai specially put him in front when she introduced. It's just that Chang Xinghou is a military general, but how did he give birth to such a beautiful and beautiful woman, a beautiful son. It is better to say that he is the beloved son of a military general, but it is better to say that he is the eldest son of a scholarly family.
The fifth lady also sat next to Mrs. Tai, took her brother's hand and asked him with a smile, "Where did you go with your two nephews?" ”
Ye Liang said slowly: "I went to Hengxiju to see the plum blossoms, I don't know if the plum blossoms here bloom better." ”
Although Gu Jinxiao and Gu Jinxian are about the same age as Ye Yuan, they are a generation apart, and when they heard this, Gu Jinxiao said with a smile: "Where did my cousin go to see plum blossoms, and he slept in Hengxiju for most of the day, not our name, I'm afraid I don't want to come yet!" ”
Ye Liang replied: "It's just a spring sleep." ”
Gu Jinxian patted his hand: "This is a cold winter, my uncle is already sleepy in spring, and when it comes to spring, I don't know what to do!" ”
Mrs. Tai said to Gu Jinxiao: "...... You can take your brother and cousin to look around, and find the nursing home to follow, and don't make any mistakes. "Gu Jinxiao is the oldest, and he has already won the lift.
When Gu Jinchao heard this, he was puzzled, walking in his own house, why did he have to follow the nursing home.
Seeing them walking down from Mrs. Tai's side, Gu Lian greeted her first: "Big brother, second brother, let me introduce you to you, this is Sister Lan, the second daughter of the fourth uncle." "Just now, Mrs. Tai only said the ranking of a few people, and did not say the names.
Sister Lan saluted respectfully, quite restrained.
Gu Jinxiao and Gu Jinxian said a few words to her, Gu Lan seemed to want to talk to Ye Quan, but he just hummed and ignored it.
Mo Xue looked at this scene and was a little anxious for a while, such a good opportunity, why didn't the eldest lady go to talk to Changxing Hou Shizi, it was good to be able to catch a sentence. But she watched the stage with her chin propped up like no one, and even Qingpu didn't squint.
The two masters and servants are one in a temper.
Gu Lan still didn't give up, if she could get acquainted with Changxing Hou Shizi, it would be too helpful for her.
"The prince just said that he looked at the plum blossoms, but I don't know where the plum blossoms are, I want to see them too." She smiled lightly and looked at Ye Liang softly.
Ye Liang said lazily: "Next time." He put his hand on Gu Jinxiao's shoulder again, turned his head sideways and asked him in a low voice, "Who is under the plum blossom tree?" ”
Gu Lan's smile stiffened.
Gu Jinxiao frowned and said, "Just now my grandmother said that it was the eldest daughter of the fourth uncle...... That's Gu Jinchao. ”
He naturally doesn't like Gu Jinchao, rumors about her are circulating a lot among the official eunuchs and disciples of their families, and it is not that an arrogant and domineering eldest daughter has such a wide spread, and more is actually on her appearance. Even if she was dressed and sat in the far corner, she could be instantly noticed at a glance.
The appearance is like the most delicate and incomparable begonia, but it is pure and pure wearing green lotus white tea, and the temperament of the whole body is quiet and tranquil, an extreme contrast, but it makes people itch in their hearts. It should be a delicate face in a gorgeous costume, how can you wear an extremely light color?
"She's Gu Jinchao." Ye Liang nodded, and then stopped asking.
Gu Jinxian said to him with a smile: "Uncle, forget it, I think that when I was in the Dingguo Mansion, a little girl standing next to her was just blocking her view, so she had to pull someone over and slapped her several times herself, and the girl didn't dare to cry when she cried, so pitiful......"
Ye Quan smiled lightly: "It's just curiosity." And he said, "It's boring to watch a play here, so why don't you go to your father and lead the horse out to play." ”
Gu Jinxiao hurriedly stopped him: "This is not good, but there are a few mules in the inner courtyard, and you can ride a ......."
The three of them said and left. Gu Lian was a little dissatisfied, and the eldest brother and second brother didn't accompany her for long, so she sat down angrily and asked Gu Lan casually: "Did your eldest sister really beat the girl like that?" ”
Gu Lan's voice was soft: "You haven't seen her more powerful." ”
