Gu Lan was looking at Gu Jinrong's letter in the study.

Jin Rong studied in Qifang Hutong and often wrote to her, telling her some interesting stories about his time in Daxing. Similar to the debate between him and Mr. Zhou about Zhu Shengren's science, Mr. Zhou praised him for his great work in science. Or he and the son of the Yongyang uncle secretly went to watch the cockfight, and the son of the Yongyang uncle lost ten taels of silver and lost his temper with the little guy. The second son of his classmate Dali Temple Shaoqing Xu likes to gamble on stones, which really made him cut out the best jade...... However, after he went to Qifang Hutong this time, he rarely wrote to her, and this was the first one.

Jin Rong told her a lot of interesting things as usual, and asked her how she is getting along with her eldest sister now, how she is doing, and so on.

Gu Lan breathed a sigh of relief after reading the letter, since he was willing to write a letter, he must have forgiven himself, young people always can't bear to snub others.

Just thinking about what her mother said, she still couldn't be happy.

…… Her father now intends to marry her to Mu Zhizhai.

Gu Lan set her eyes on a cluster of small leaf privet that was in full bloom outside the window, small white flowers were dotted between the leaves, and the rich fragrance was originally what she liked, but now it smelled too strong, and the smoke made people a little bored.

Mu Hibiscus has just become Gu Lan's personal girl, and she is cautious and careful in everything. Seeing that Gu Lan was bored, he quietly went out and fetched a sour plum soup for her. said in a low voice, "Second Miss, the sour plum soup from the well water town is very cool. ”

This girl is much stronger than Ziling, and Gu Lan now feels that her mother is right to send Ziling away.

She took a sip of the sour plum soup, remembering that she went to the Ji family today to ask for peace, and saw the third lady of the Fan family of Dingguo Gong coming to visit, and the third lady also gave Gu Jinchao a string of carved red coral bracelets as a meeting gift, but only gave her a jade bracelet of ordinary color. I talked to Ji for a long time, and even Ji's two personal girls stood under the corridor and didn't listen inside.

Mrs. Fan San is her father's cousin-in-law, but her father's mother was originally a concubine in the Gu family's ancestral family, and she didn't say so openly. But the relationship between the two families has always been very good, and when they were together, although the Fan family did not come in person, they also gave gifts.

If it's okay on weekdays. Third Lady Fan would not come to the Gu family.

Gu Lan thought for a long time before asking Mu Hibiscus: "Have you heard, what is the purpose of Mrs. Fan's coming?" ”

Mu Hibiscus hurriedly said: "Mrs. Fan San went to find the master later, and the two talked for a while in the flower hall. Listening to the girl who brought tea in the flower hall, Mrs. Fan San came to tell the third lady about her family affairs this time, and she was talking about her nephew in the Du family in Wuqing. The old man was very happy to hear this, and asked Aunt Du to talk again, as if he wanted to settle this family in advance. ”

The Mu family has just come to propose, why did the Fan family come to join in the fun again! Thinking of the marriage proposal, she felt bored for a while, so she stopped asking about it. Instead, she took the letter that Jin Rong gave her and went to Aunt Song. Every letter between her and Jinrong must be read by Aunt Song.

Jin Chao also heard about this, so he asked Tong's mother to inquire about the situation of Wuqing's Du family. Tong's mother came back and said that the Du family had a two-list jinshi two generations ago, and he was a waiter in the Ministry of Officialdom and Labor at that time. However, since then, the Du family has never produced a person who is good at reading, and the second master of the Du family has been promoted, and there is no benefit in addition, all of them live by the shadow of their ancestors. Mrs. Fan San is the eldest daughter of the second master of the Du family.

It is Du Huai, the grandson of Du Si, who is fifteen years old this year and passed the hospital examination last year. The Du family has already declined, and the fourth master Du is one of them. This is not a good fact. However, my father is the most fond of people who have the ambition to study, I heard that Du Huai was admitted to the old tribute, so he got the opportunity to enter the country to study, and his father had a good impression of Du Huai, and felt that this family business was very good.

Jin Chao really has no impression of this Wuqing Du family, and she is only an important person in the court. Or maybe the officials related to the Chen family are very familiar. However, since he can take the annual tribute exam by himself, instead of relying on Second Master Du to be a shadow eunuch, he should also be an ambitious person.

When Jin Chao went to ask his mother for peace, it happened that his mother was talking to Gu Yi.

Gu Xi also sat on the side, his little face slightly red. She took Jin Chao's hand and asked in a low voice: "The third sister is only thirteen years old, do you have to decide on a marriage first?" ”

Girls are usually approached from the age of twelve. Their family situation is just special, Gu Jinchao is no one dares to propose marriage, Gu Lan is afraid that the identity of the person who came to propose marriage is not enough, and she doesn't want to be someone else's concubine. So the two of them have not yet decided to marry, but they gave Gu Xi an illusion.

Jin Chao also pitied her very much when she thought about it, Gu Xi grew up under her mother's name, and Aunt Guo didn't dare to get close to her at all, for fear of making her mother unhappy. I just made something for her during the New Year's holidays. 's mother couldn't spare the energy to take care of her, she and Gu Yi were both brought up by her grandmother. There are many things that Mama is inconvenient to say, or dare not say, and they don't know.

Mother smiled and glanced at Jin Chao, which was regarded as a greeting. continued to talk to Gu Yi: "Your mother usually worries less about your affairs, and she also feels guilty. If you think this family business is suitable, I will talk to your father and settle the family business......"

Although Gu Yi had a calm temperament, he was still young after all, and said with a flushed face: "Mother...... I...... I don't know ...... either."

She had never heard of this man and had no idea what he was like.

Ji Shi also came over at this age, so he naturally knew what she was worried about, so he glanced sideways at Mother Xu and said, "Why don't we let Mother Xu talk to Mrs. Fan, and bring her nephew to the master to see, if you want to see it, hide behind the curtain......

Gu Yi bit her lip and didn't speak, her face was so red that she was about to drip blood. Such a thing...... How can she do it!

Jin Chao smiled: "I think it's just right, Mrs. Fan is still in the wing room now, why don't we go to her immediately." ”

Gu Xi also nodded in agreement: "...... It's good to see the third sister! "She's young, and she always likes to have fun like that.

Gu Yi stopped talking, Mother Xu said to Mrs. Fan, and her nephew Du Huai came to visit her father three days later.

Father prepares to meet Du Huai in the main hall.

On the day of the visit, his three daughters were pushing and pushing behind the curtains, Gu Dezhao saw it for a while and smiled bitterly: "You have to see, hide in there too......

Jin Chao was a little helpless, she was pulled over by Gu Xi. Mother Xu next to her smiled and didn't speak, she helped Ji come to see. Gu Xi is the most interested one, it's rare for her to be so happy, and she can't say anything unruly. No one can see it anyway.

Du Huai's greeting post was quickly handed over, and Gu Dezhao nodded secretly when he saw that he called himself Geng's nephew...... He knows etiquette very well.

When the others walked in, there was not even a little scholar behind them. Du Huai was wearing a very spiritual lake blue straight jacket, and a white jade pendant with a double fish pattern was hung on his waist, and he was tall and handsome, with a modest bearing. He respectfully met Gu Dezhao again, Gu Dezhao told him about the art of making, and tested him "Spring and Autumn", although he answered very brilliantly, but he did not exaggerate, and his father was even more satisfied.

Gu Yi also thought about it, and this family member settled down, chose a day to exchange Geng posts, and invited Mrs. Fan San to have a day of wine, Gu Yi officially made a marriage with Du Huai.

When Aunt Song heard that Du Huai's knowledge was very good, and when she was handsome again, she was making a shirt for Gu Lan and sewing banana leaf patterns to the cuffs.

After listening to this, he said lightly: "There are more than 3,000 prisoners in the country, and there are more than 100 people who can be promoted to more than 100 people in each court examination, and there are more than 100 people in the court examination. It is better to ask his second master to donate a small official, and slowly go up, with the Dingguo family to rely on, and not worry about the career without benefit. ”

Gu Lan originally listened to the girl's words, and his heart was still a little difficult. Mu Zhizhai who came to propose to her is that kind of person, although this Du Huai's family background is not as good as Mu Zhizhai, but he is several times better than Mu Zhizhai. But as soon as her mother said this, she also thought about it in her heart, anyway, she would not marry Mu Zhizhai, Du Huai's future future is really uncertain, Gu Yi accompanied him to become a weapon, I am afraid that everyone is old, where is there any rich years.

Aunt Song felt that this family was in general, but after thinking about it, she said to Gu Lan: "...... It's enough for Gu Yi. ”

While the mother and daughter were talking, Yuxiang walked in, she saluted, and whispered: "Auntie, Mrs. Chen, who sent Miss Ziling to Baoding Shulu, is back, and she said that she has something important to see you." ”

Could it be that there was something wrong with Ziling's relatives, Aunt Song frowned and thought about it, and still invited her in.

Mrs. Chen had just come back from Baoding, and she was dusty, and the little clutches on the back of her head were crooked. She shouted hello, but her eyes were very bright.

"What are you anxious to see me for?" Aunt Song asked her.

Mrs. Chen hurriedly smiled and said, "...... Coincidentally, the slave maid sent the Ziling girl to Baoding Shulu this time, and met a familiar mother-in-law, she used to do chores in our house, and then when she was older, she was put back to her hometown to care for the elderly. Her son was working in the Song family's grange, or did she recognize the slave and maid, and pulled the slave and maid to talk for a while......"

Aunt Song nodded and motioned for Mrs. Chen to continue. These words are really insignificant.

Mrs. Chen continued: "That mother-in-law was originally a ...... serving Aunt Yun."

The movement in Aunt Song's hand stopped, and Gu Lan heard that Aunt Yun was also cautious and looked at Mrs. Chen.

Aunt Song waved her hand for Qiao Wei to take the things away first, and asked the mother-in-law carefully: "What did this mother-in-law who served Aunt Yun say, you have to come and tell me in a hurry?" ”

When Mrs. Chen heard it, it was estimated that there was a drama, and she continued: "This mother-in-law was originally just sprinkled and swept at Aunt Yun's place, and she couldn't be on the stage, but she told the slave maid that the two personal girls who were serving Aunt Yun at that time, the one who didn't die, talked to her, saying that Cuiping was wronged, and the medicine was not made by her." Is there someone who wants to harm Aunt Yun......"

"You can't guess it, she said the man was Madame."
