Chapter 4: Lingering Fragrance

After returning to Qingtong Temple, Liuxiang also came back early, waiting for Jin Chao to come in, smiling and holding Jin Chao's hand, Cai Fu was squeezed to the back without a trace, and could only stand aside silently.

Liuxiang is one year older than Gu Jinchao, sixteen this year. She looks quite beautiful, because the young lady likes her, and she is better dressed than other maids, and she wears a gold-painted hairpin on her head, a pink phoenix tail skirt, and a woven satin jacket outside. A pair of eyes are smart and delicate.

On weekdays, the young lady always looks pleasant when she sees her, but now her face is as calm as water, and after sitting on the big kang by the window, she tells Cai Fu to make tea for her.

Liuxiang was a little apprehensive, could it be that she blamed herself for going for too long? Miss doesn't like it the most when people delay things.

When Caifu's tea came up, Liuxiang smiled and said, "Miss, do you know what I've been going for so long?" ”

Jin Chao lifted the lid of the tea, and said lightly without raising his eyelids: "How do I know what you did." ”

Liuxiang pursed her lips in a sneer, but she thought that she was really angry, and glanced at Caifu again, feeling that she had lost face in front of this second-class maid. He lowered his voice a little and said, "I asked the slave to inquire about the last time. My brother works as a groom in Yu's house, and today he happened to come to see me and brought a box of tempeh. I asked him about it......"

Gu Jinchao put down the tea cup, although the Gu family is not one of the top nobles in Shi'an Mansion, but it is definitely one of the best, this Wanchun silver leaf tea is originally one of the Sichuan tribute teas, which is very rare. I don't know where my father found it.

She looked up at Liuxiang, and couldn't remember what she had told her.

Seeing that she looked like she probably wanted to ask for credit, Jin Chao also asked, "What did your brother say?" ”

Liuxiang said: "My brother didn't know about it, but Miss Yu Jiayan still had March to meet her, and the matter was told by the mother-in-law." said that in the early years, Mrs. Yu Jiatai and Mrs. Chen Jiatai were friends, and when Miss Yu Jiayan was four years old, she set a baby kiss for her and Chen Qigongzi. I heard that the token is a pair of jade pendants of Mrs. Yu Jiatai......"

Speaking of this, he paused again, "Although there is a fixed marriage, but now the two families do not have much contact." At that time, the Chen family and the Yu family were also between the two sides, but now Chen Erye and Chen Sanye are both prosperous officials, Chen Erye is the political envoy of Shaanxi, and Chen Sanye is the Zhan Shifu Zhan Shi, which is no longer comparable to the Yu family back then. The slave maid thought to herself, I'm afraid this family won't be able to make it......"

Chen Sanye is Chen Xuanqing's father, Chen Yanyun, the husband of the Jin Dynasty in his previous life.

Gu Jinchao recalled the events of that year.

Chen Xuanqing ranked seventh in the Chen family, and everyone called him Chen Qigongzi. At that time, not only did she not see Chen Xuanqing at the flower party, but she also accidentally heard that Chen Qigongzi had a family affair for a long time. After returning home, I had a big breath and smashed a few vase makeup boxes. He also punished a few little maids for kneeling in the snow for an afternoon. After thinking about it again, I felt that I was angry in my heart, so I called my eldest maid Liuxiang to inquire about what was going on with this marriage.

The fragrance is quite fast, and a brother will come to the door so soon.

Jin Chao smiled and said, "Thanks to your careful heart, otherwise I would definitely be sad." What did your brother bring over with tempeh? ”

Liuxiang was stunned for a moment, but she didn't expect the young lady to ask about this, and hurriedly said: "The newly made tempeh is not worth the money." If the young lady wants it, the slave will go back to the room at once and give you half of it. ”

Jin Chao waved his hand and said, "I don't like to eat those, I'm hungry after sitting at my mother's place for a long time, you go to the small kitchen and bring a few plates of snacks." ”

Liuxiang took the order and left, just at this time, Bai Yun had just stepped into the corridor of copying hands, and when she saw her, she hurriedly smiled: "My sister is also back." ”

Liuxiang is the eldest girl of the young lady, and of course they have to flatter her carefully. Although Liuxiang is very arrogant on weekdays, she will also bow her head and agree, but her face is not good-looking today, so she ignored her and walked out.

She felt really uncomfortable, first in front of Caifu, Miss embarrassed herself, originally thought that she could get Miss's reward by inquiring about the news, but who knew that Miss just laughed. He also sent her out to get snacks, she was a personal maid, why didn't Caifu go, but she went. The more I thought about it, the more annoyed I felt, and after thinking about it, I thought that maybe it was the thing that said something to her in front of the young lady.

When she didn't see anything, she lowered her hands and stood beside the young lady.

Jin Chao asked softly, "What do you think of Liuxiang?" ”

Tsefu's heart jumped, why did the young lady ask her that?

Liuxiang is Miss's eldest girl, and it's not her turn to say anything. But Miss asked you politely, is there any dissatisfaction with Miss Liuxiang? She pondered for a moment before saying, "Sister Liuxiang is exquisite, very likable to Miss, and she is clever and smart, and she can know a few words, which is also rare." ”

This has a different meaning when understood. Liuxiang is just flattering in front of the young lady, and she usually talks to these second-class maids, which is very arrogant.

Gu Jinchao smiled, Caifu has a good temperament. She touched the uneven pattern on the edge of the teacup and said flatly: "The tempeh is newly made, and it has to be summer." In winter, there is always less flavor. ”

Caifu was a little puzzled, and the young lady also knew how to make tempeh?

Jin Chao is the eldest daughter of the Gu family, these things are just ordinary snacks, how does the young lady know, and why do you want to say these words to her?

Jin Chao didn't say anything more. When she was in the decline of her previous life, she had nothing to do all day, so she learned to pick up leaves to do these things, she was originally from Tongchuan, Sichuan, and then her family was poor and was sold, all the way to Baoding Mansion. Gu Jinchao has developed a good cooking skill, she was originally a female celebrity who was very clumsy, and she even has a good embroidery after many years. It's fun to learn these things.

Liuxiang is indeed smart and clever, but it is too easy to forget her righteousness, if it weren't for her handwriting skills in her previous life, I'm afraid Chen Xuanqing wouldn't have knocked her down so easily. When she was almost forced to die, Liuxiang had already received a silver ticket from Chen Xuanqing and a three-entry house, and never came to see her again.

Jin Chao looked at the snow outside the window and thought to himself.

Liuxiang's brother came to the Gu family if he wanted to, and she didn't even need to say goodbye to her to see her brother herself. It can be seen that in this Gu family, she gave her eldest girl a lot of privileges. It doesn't matter if her brother runs away to send her tempeh, if it's because he specifically inquired, then it's worth thinking about, Liuxiang doesn't have this kind of vision, she is afraid that someone is behind her.

Gu Jinchao woke up very early on the second day, and when she opened her eyes, she saw the mahogany Qiangong bed carved with magnolia unicorn auspicious clouds, and she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, she felt that her spirit was getting better and better now, and she was still a little weak the day before yesterday, and she always felt that she couldn't control her hands and feet, but today she didn't feel this way.

Liuxiang served her to wash and dress, and changed into a pale red gold jacket skirt embroidered with lotus petals and branches, and wore three gold silk inlaid gemstone flowers on her head. Jin Chao did this as she did this, and did not say anything.

Liuxiang asked, "Miss got up so early today, do you want to go to wait for Madame first?" ”

Jin Chao said: "I haven't been to greet my father for several days, and I want to go there once today......" Seeing her take out a pair of earrings, she frowned and said, "This gold pendant is not needed." ”

The rule of the Gu family is that the aunts must say hello to the housemother every day, and the children greet their father first and then their mother every day. But it is common for Jin Chao not to ask his father for three or five days, and his father always has to say a lot when he sees her, asking her to watch more "Female Training" and "Female Ring".

Today she went to greet her father first.

Jin Chao needs to be familiar with the current situation of the Gu family, after all, the time has been too long, and there are some things that she can't remember clearly.

Bai Yun came in with a large lacquer square plate, on which were placed milk porridge, a plate of flower and fruit puff pastry, a plate of manna cake, and a plate of dried bamboo shoots. Jin Chao saw that the sky was already a little bright, and only drank milk porridge, and went to his father's Juliu Pavilion.
