Juliu Pavilion planted a lot of willow and locust trees, but at this time they were all bare, three houses of seven frames, piled up with rockeries made of Taihu Lake stone, and many green bamboos were planted next to it. There was still a gilt plaque hanging in the main room in front of her, and my father's two little maids were entering with big red lacquered discs, and another maid in the room, Biyue, saluted her: "...... The eldest lady came by chance, and the old man was having breakfast. ”

Jin Chao nodded, Biyue helped open the curtain, and she stepped in.

My father had breakfast in the east room, and there were mackerel breasts, crispy honey cakes, and a plate of duck gizzards and cured goose meat on the table. Aunt Song was standing next to her and waiting for Gu Dezhao to use the soup. Aunt Song was wearing a blue lotus-colored skirt embroidered with cloud and water patterns, wearing a pair of jade bracelets on her wrists, her skin was as white as frost and snow, and a pair of phoenix eyes on her white jade-like face were full of smiles.

It is not dignified and pure, but also delicate and just right.

She was talking to her father, Gu Jinchao lowered her head when she saw it, but a smile quickly rose on her lips.

Gu Dezhao is Chinese New Year's Eve seven today, he is in the prime of life, his face is upright and delicate, he is wearing an official uniform embroidered with cloud and goose patterns, with a silver leather belt, and he will go to the court after a while. Seeing that Jin Chao came to ask for peace, let her also sit down and ask: "...... I was busy with court affairs a few days ago and didn't have time to see your mother, is she getting better? ”

Jin Chao said gently: "It's always not good, but the cough has stopped a lot." ”

Gu Dezhao nodded: "Well, you are serving in front of your mother, and others are always not as dedicated as you to serve her." But you've been in the middle of the year for half a year, and you can't waste the female celebrity. I heard Xue Shiji, who taught you, say that you haven't been to her for many days...... The daughter's family still has to do a good job of embroidery. ”

Gu Jinchao agreed one by one, and his father's eyebrows softened: "This is the best, your character should also be more restrained." Your mother dotes on you, and blames me for being too careful. But you are the eldest daughter of the Gu family, and you must pay attention to your words and deeds. ”

My father is a scholar, and he pays the most attention to the virtues of women, and he always has to say a few more words when he sees her on weekdays.

She had been impatient to hear this. But I remembered that the last time I saw my father, when he was seriously ill, he came back to visit, and my father was already too thin at that time, and when he looked at her sideways, he gasped with anger and asked the maid next to him to blow her out. His Gu family doesn't have such a daughter!

It hurts to think of the scene of that day, and it is better to be able to speak calmly like this now.

Gu Dezhao didn't continue to ask, and Aunt Song smiled and said, "...... Today I specially boiled Chuanbei yam porridge, the eldest lady also tasted it, Chuanbei moistened the lungs and coughed, the eldest lady was sick for a long time ago, but she should drink an extra bowl. ”

Gu Jinchao's heart tightened when she heard this, she didn't tell her father about her illness.

secretly went to the flower party of the Guogong Mansion, and had an illness, and her father would definitely be dissatisfied with her if he knew.

Sure enough, my father asked, "Sick?" Why didn't anyone come to me? Why are you sick? ”

Gu Jinchao sneered in his heart, in his previous life, he actually felt that Aunt Song was gentle and peaceful, and people would provoke trouble with a word.

Her expression was gloomy: "My mother is seriously ill, and I am too worried to sleep well day and night...... I wanted to go to the flower party of the Guogong Mansion to calm down, but who knew that the snow was cold that day, and I was hurt by the wind and cold. The daughter also felt guilty in her heart, she couldn't serve in front of her mother a few days ago, and she didn't want her father and mother to worry about it, so she didn't let the maid around her say that as soon as she got well today, she hurried to ask her father for peace and then went to visit her mother. ”

Aunt Song looked stunned, and Gu Jinchao said this without leaking.

Father hummed, cared about her a few words, and asked Biyue to find some tonic herbs for her.

Gu Jinchao looked up at Aunt Song, her eyes were full of smiles, and Aunt Song naturally smiled back and said, "The eldest lady serves Madame very dedicatedly, I really feel good when I look at it." The hour is near, so I will greet Madame with the eldest lady. ”

Jin Chao said: "Naturally, I also want to say something considerate to my aunt." ”

She was not in vain in the Chen family's more than ten years. Gu Jinchao's hand hidden under his sleeve rubbed his carved silver bracelet, thinking that she would like to see if Aunt Song could make waves in this life.

After Gu Dezhao went out, Jin Chao and Aunt Song took their respective maids through the path planted with tall luan trees, and there was a small lake in front of them, and the lake had already frozen. The water pavilion winds on it, and there is a paulownia pavilion on it.

Thinking of what happened just now, Aunt Song felt a little strange. It doesn't look like Gu Jinchao said it, and it's definitely not like it.

Aunt Song glanced at the pale red embroidered lotus petals and branches of the Jin Dynasty's golden jacket skirt, she was as radiant as ever.

"Auntie has worked hard to serve her mother these days, and I thank you so much." Jin Chao withdrew his gaze and smiled and spoke to her.

She said softly: "It is also my duty to serve my sister, and the eldest lady is out of sight when she thanks me like this." Sister Lan is as good as you, and you don't have to be too polite with me. ”

Gu Lan is different from Gu Xi and Gu Yi, her biological mother Aunt Song has a good family, and she was raised next to Aunt Song since she was a child.

Gu Jinchao said: "You are my aunt and my second sister, how can I be polite to you!" ”

She was still smiling, and she didn't think anything was wrong. Aunt Song felt a little uncomfortable in her heart when she heard this, even if Sister Lan was born to her, she had to be called Aunt in front of outsiders, and her identity was always just someone else's concubine. Gu Jinchao's words opened her and Sister Lan's identities for no reason.

While the two were talking, they had already arrived at their mother's sloping garden, and several aunts had already arrived.

The mother was lying on the bed of the arhat, her face tired. Moyu brought her a small pestle, brought a peony stool to Aunt Song and sat down, and Aunt Song asked Moyu's mother about her living and diet.

Mother's voice was soft: "...... You have a heart. ”

Aunt Song said: "I'm used to serving Mrs., I didn't have time to come over last afternoon, but I was very ashamed in my heart." I personally boiled the black chicken soup for you, and the kitchen staff will bring it to you in a while......"

Aunt Du smiled and said, "It's still Aunt Song who is considerate." ”

Gu Jinchao glanced at Aunt Du, his father had three concubines, Aunt Du and Aunt Guo were his original girls, and after his mother got married, he raised them as aunts, wanting to compete with Song Miaohua. However, she saw that no one could suppress Aunt Song from these two people.

Later, her mother also gave her dowry girl Yunxiang to her father to make a room, and soon carried her aunt. Jin Chao didn't have a very deep impression of this Yun Xiang, this person seemed to have died in childbirth when she was eight years old, but she was very loved by her father during her lifetime.

After sitting for a while, Gu Lan, together with Gu Xi and Gu Yi, came to ask the Ji family for peace.

Gu Jinchao heard the sound of the girl talking, but lowered his head and slowly turned the bracelet on his wrist.

“…… I met the third and fourth sisters on the road, so they came together. Is my mother feeling better? The woman's voice was soft, and Gu Jinchao looked up.

Gu Lanwu wore a small bun, only wearing a light blue pearl flower, a satin jacket with lotus lotus persimmon pattern, and a water-blue folded branch pattern skirt. The little face was as white as jade, the chin was pointed, and the pair of curved eyes seemed to be about to laugh immediately.

She will be in time for another six months.

Gu Yi is twelve years old this year, but her temperament is different from her biological mother, Aunt Du, she doesn't like to talk much. Gu Xi tugged at Gu Yi's sleeve, looked at Gu Jinchao timidly, and when she saw Gu Jinchao looking at her, she actually showed a small smile.

Gu Jinchao was taken aback for a moment, wasn't she still scared when she looked at her yesterday, how could she dare to smile at her today.

When he came back to his senses, he smiled at her.

Gu Lan sat next to Gu Jinchao and asked with a smile, "...... Look at the eldest sister and the fourth sister just now, what intimate things do you have, you actually carried me behind my back, I don't rely on it! ”

Gu Xi whispered: "Eldest sister asked Liuxiang to give me a box of pine nut zongzi candy yesterday......"

Only then did Gu Jinchao know that it was because of the box of sugar.

However, seeing her tightly tugging on Gu Yi's sleeve, I'm afraid I'm still a little scared in my heart.

Aunt Guo didn't seem to see her daughter pulling Gu Yi's sleeve and drinking tea from a teacup.

Gu Lan took her hand and looked at her with some resentment: "The eldest sister is partial to the fourth sister now, and the third sister and I also want pine nut zongzi candy!" ”

Several aunts laughed, and the mother also showed a faint smile.

Gu Xi looked at Gu Jinchao, thinking that she had said the wrong thing, and her face was flushed with shame, she didn't know that it was just that she had sugar.

Gu Jinchao said: "I just had such a box, and I remembered that the fourth sister loves candy, so I sent it to her." I remember that the second and third sisters liked to eat some delicate pastries, so I will let the small kitchen make some and send them to the two younger sisters. ”

"As for pastries, I just made some powdered fruits there, and if my sisters and aunts are willing, I'll pack some and send them to everyone's place later." Gu Lan said with a smile.

Ji listened to them quietly, she was always worried about Jin Chao, Jin Chao's temperament was too arrogant and reckless, compared to Gu Lan, it was far inferior, she also felt guilty now, if she hadn't sent Jin Chao to her grandmother's house at that time, how could she develop that kind of temperament. In recent days, she seems to be more disciplined, and she hopes that her illness can make Jin Chao more sensible.

"I'm tired too, let's go back first......" Ji said finally.

The aunt and several younger sisters walked out of the room first, and Aunt Song stayed to talk to her mother. Gu Jinchao got up and walked to his mother's side, and said softly: "Mother, I'll go to the second sister's Cuixuan Courtyard to sit down first, and then I'll come to accompany you in the evening." ”

Ji shook her hand.
