After greeting the Feng family, Jin Chao accompanied Gu Jinrong to the wing room of the West Cross Courtyard. Gu Jinrong lives in the easternmost part, and there are Gu Jinxiao and Gu Jinxian in the west. Guozijian also just finished class a few days ago, and the two of them happened to be in the West Cross Courtyard.

Gu Jinrong's wing room was dotted by the second lady, the bookcase, a long table, two Dongpo chairs in the study, a plum vase with blue glaze and blue enamel on the window, and a half-old purple bamboo pen holder, with a large and small brush. Jin Chao said to him, "When you have put your things in order, go and ask your father and two uncles to say goodbye." And don't forget the two cousins who are studying in the country, they are much older than you......"

Gu Jinrong smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for a few months, why does the eldest sister talk too much." ”

After Ji's death, everything about him was in the hands of the eldest sister. In the past few months in Shi'an, the eldest sister has arranged Zhang Luo everywhere, and she has arranged things like his winter clothes, bedding, food, and even knee pads to protect herself from the cold. Gu Jinrong remembered the good of Jin Dynasty in his heart, and he thought about coming back to see her. Fortunately, she was also doing well in Daxing, and the people were not cleared, so he was relieved when he looked at it.

Gu Jinchao said: "You still think I'm verbose......" She looked at Jin Rong's somewhat similar face to his mother, and brushed the snow on his leather jacket, "Then I won't say more, you remember to go to the East Cross Courtyard for a while, and then go to your grandmother to say goodbye." ”

Gu Jinrong smiled and didn't want her to go: "I haven't asked the eldest sister yet!" I heard that you are going to marry your second cousin? ”

Jin Chao shook his head: "There is no matter about the eight characters, where did you hear about it?" ”

Gu Jinrong avoided answering, and said seriously: "Second cousin is good, worthy of my eldest sister!" He took Jin Chao's arm and begged again, "I want to eat the Yunzi hemp leaf fruit cake that the eldest sister made before...... Did you do it for me? ”

Jin Chao felt that Gu Jinrong had become like a child, so she nodded in agreement. Gu Jinrong went to see his father, uncle and others. I couldn't wait to come to Gu Jinchao here, and followed her around. Ask her to put more sugar in the fruit cake, and add raisins and dried longan to the hawthorn cake.

The kitchenette is indispensable. Jin Chao thought he talked too much, so it didn't take long for him to go to the study to sit.

Gu Jinrong just sat down and drank a cup of tea. I casually took a book that Jin Chao put on the bookcase and read it.

The girl came to report that the second lady had come to see him.

Gu Lan then entered the study, where there was a fire.

Gu Jinrong looked at her coldly, she was carrying a food box in her hand, and said with a smile: "...... The second sister made you a snack. ”

Gu Jinrong pointed to the bookcase and motioned for her to put it down. He said again: "Thank you second sister." ”

Gu Lan looked at Gu Jinrong, thinking that he was so dependent on himself, spinning around behind him like a little tail. He has always been good only with himself. will argue with Gu Jinchao in order to help herself, and learn ivory carving in order to please her......

Gu Lanqiang smiled and said, "Brother Rong, why are you so separated from the second sister now." Even if the second sister did something wrong, she is still your second sister...... If you still hold a grudge against the second sister, can't I apologize to you? I'm like this now, and you're going to dislike me......"

When she said the emotion, tears fell down her face.

Gu Jinrong frowned, now seeing Gu Lan like this, he only felt disgusted.

He smiled: "Does the second sister think you are pitiful?" I also think you're pathetic, what do you want to do to please me? Because you don't have anyone to back you up now. Are you unsettled? He sympathized with Gu Lan, who would sympathize with him? When Ji first died, he was alone and couldn't live in fear. Because he indirectly killed his mother, the eldest sister ignored him, and he couldn't forgive himself.

As long as I think of the scene of my mother's death, I think of the tears on my eldest sister's face. Gu Jinrong felt that Gu Lan in front of him was extremely hateful.

Gu Lan was stunned.

Gu Jinrong continued: "Second sister-I still call you second sister, then please be a good sister!" The eldest sister is about to marry her second cousin, and I want the eldest sister to be fine. Don't bully her! If you don't come to me, I'm going to say this to you. If you dare to be unfavorable to my eldest sister, I will not let you go. ”

Gu Lan sneered: "Can I bully her?" She knows her best! Thinking of Gu Jinchao's words threatening her, Gu Lan still didn't continue. She finally whispered. "Gu Jinrong, you didn't care about our sister and brother first. Don't blame me for completely tearing my face! ”

Gu Jinrong still looked at her with a smile. Gu Lan left Yanxiu Hall.

Jin Chao heard Caifu talk about this at night, and she thought about it for a long time.

Brother Rong is much better at dealing with people than before. And it's more responsible. His mother's death did change him too much. He was even afraid that Gu Lan would bully her and ruin her family affairs. I want to knock on Gu Lan for a few words.

"He is also in the mature ......" She thought about it and asked Xu's mother to prepare the New Year's goose and chestnut cake to send to the Yu family. Looking at Brother Rong, you know that the Yu family treats him very well.

Mother Xu promised, and asked Gu Jinchao again: "Miss, what about the young master of the Ji family...... What do you think? ”

Gu Jinchao smiled unconsciously: "What can I think?" Thinking of Ji Yao's gentle eyes looking at her swearing, she couldn't say anything to refuse. She still let it go, if this family business can be successful, it can only be regarded as conforming to the will of God.

On the side of the Marquis of Changxing, Li Xianhuai had just arrived in Shi'an and found out the foundation of the Ji family. According to what the prince said, he went to the eight generations of his ancestors to check. also made Ji Yao clear. When he came back, Ye Liang was talking to the old marquis in the study.

The two grandchildren secretly talked about the Shanxi political envoy Yuan Zhongru in the study, and talked about Fan Chuan's embezzlement of silver. The old marquis was very much in favor of Ye Quan's approach: "The first emperor died, and your father was seriously injured...... The Marquis of Changxing Mansion is the time to recuperate. We can't get involved in this mess...... Let Zhang Julian go, there is no way to do it......"

Ye Liang thoughtfully.

The old marquis glanced at his grandson, and slowly began: "You just turned sixteen last month, the young master of an ordinary family, even if you don't marry at this time, you will already be married." I don't think your marriage has been settled yet. ”

Ye Liang glanced at his grandfather and raised his eyebrows. Said slowly: "Sun Tzu is not in a hurry. ”

The old marquis said to him: "Of course you are not in a hurry! "Ye Liang is so lazy, he is in a hurry! That's the anxiety of my heart. The old marquis cleared his throat, and then said, "I have discussed it with your grandfather...... I think the eldest daughter of Wuding Hou is acceptable, and your grandfather thinks that the second daughter of He Wenxin, a scholar of Wuyingdian University, is acceptable. You go back and discuss with your mother, and when you see which one you have chosen, you can invite your grandfather to come to your door. ”

The old marquis didn't like literati, and he didn't have a good impression of his in-laws, who were the head of the Hanlin Academy. said that it was a discussion, but in fact, the two disagreed after discussing and discussing, and they blew their beards and stared at each other unhappily.

Gao Daren thinks that the eldest daughter of Wuding Hou has not even read the enlightened "Three Character Classic" and "Disciple Rules", which is too unsubstantial. The old marquis disliked that the second female son of the Wuyingdian scholar was too quiet and dead.

Ye Liang was silent, the two people that his grandfather said were undoubtedly the best among the women of the family. Wuding Houzu was a general who followed the founding emperor to fight the country, and his favor has not faded for a hundred years. Wu Dinghou's eldest daughter is only fourteen years old, but the reputation of the beauty has already spread.

And the second daughter of the scholar of Wuyingdian University is not only outstanding, but also commendable because she was born in a scholarly family and has extraordinary learning. When he first arrived, the person who proposed the marriage broke through the threshold of the He family, but the He family never looked at it.

As the son of Changxing Houjia, he should bear the heavy responsibility of making Changxing Houjia continue to prosper. It is certain to marry a wife who is a good family member and can help their family.

Ye Liang suddenly thought of Gu Jinchao.

He is nominally Gu Jinchao's cousin, and the difference in status is too great. He can seek the best among the women of the family, because he is the prince of Changxing. What about Gu Jinchao...... She's going to marry her cousin in the future? After marrying, he could not see her as much as he wanted, talk to her, or give her the cacti he had raised, as he had done before.

Ye Liang came out of his grandfather's study, looked at the dark night, and pursed his lips.

He is the only son-in-law of the Changxing Hou family, and he was named the prince of the world shortly after he was born. What he did not only represented himself, but also the Marquis of Changxing. He can't really do what he wants.

But he didn't want to marry the eldest daughter of Wudinghou, the second daughter of a scholar of Wuyingdian. How can they be like Gu Jinchao and like her...... Ye Liang didn't know what Gu Jinchao was in his heart. He looked into the night and exhaled softly.

Li Xianhuai walked over, "Lord Shizi...... Everything you asked me to look up was clarified. ”

Ye Liang hummed unconsciously, letting him continue.

Gu Jinchao wants to marry someone, he always has to understand it clearly. I can't pay her so much favor, so I help her take care of her family affairs.

In his selfish heart, he really hoped that Gu Jinchao, his cousin, would not be good.

He didn't want Gu Jinchao to marry someone else. (To be continued)
