Chapter 42: Cat Wounds

After having lunch at the banquet, the fifth aunt went to Ji's with a few aunts.

Although Gu Jinxiao is a Confucian student, he is interested in Taoism, and his father rarely meets a bosom friend, so he has to go back to the study with him and take the Taoist classics to talk about it in detail.

In the memory of the Jin Dynasty's previous life, there has never been much contact between their family and their ancestral family, and the only few intersections were after she married Chen Sanye. Jin Chao only remembered that Gu Jinxiao was obsessed with Taoism, and he was only promoted at the thirty-fourth level, and he was no longer beneficial when he became a petty official.

However, Gu Jinxian chose the same path as his father.

At that time, after Mu Zong's death, Changxing Hou and other forces were suppressed, and many civil officials involved with them were either exiled or degraded, and the Gu family's ancestral family did not interact with Changxing Hou's family in order to protect themselves, and even took the five aunts in the ancestral family to suffer cold eyes, and finally took poison because of the humiliation. Gu Jinxian left the house independently, colluded with Ye Quan, disrupted the court, and later served as the secretary of the criminal department, and the official residence was the second grade.

If the later Ye Yuan was a wolf, then Gu Jinxian was one of his sharp minions.

So much so that after Gu Jinxian's career, the Gu family's ancestors were terrified all day long, for fear that he would avenge his mother. At that time, the second master of the Gu family, who was already old, still had to be supported by others, and went to his house to ask him for forgiveness.

Jin Chao slowly walked towards his courtyard, thinking about the things of his previous life as he walked. Before he reached the steps, he saw two people standing in front of his door.

It's Gu Jinxian and Ye Quan!

Gu Jinxian was wearing a royal blue straight jacket, but he wore a six-in-one melon skin hat like a secular reader, which looked very funny. Ye Yuan was wearing a wide-sleeved shirt with tooth white trim, the sleeve robe and drape fluttering, his facial features were very exquisite, his face was like beautiful jade, and he looked very dusty.

The temperament is like a fairy, but the heart is a bad belly.

Didn't these two people say that they went to Ciguang Temple to see the monkeys, how did they come to her! Jin Chao couldn't help but slander.

"The lobby sister is back!" Gu Jinxian quickly caught up with him, smiling very attentively, "We've been standing here waiting for you for half an hour." ”

Jin Chao also smiled, but was a little intimidated by his enthusiasm. "Didn't the second cousin go to Shi'an County, why did he come to me?"

"Don't mention it! I took my uncle to see the monkeys, who knew that the Ciguang Temple was built on the top of the mountain, and there were many steps, and halfway through the climb, my uncle shouted that he was tired and wanted to come back, and we didn't even see a single monkey hair! ”

Ye Liang followed with his hands behind his back, and his tone was very soft: "If it weren't for me, you would have wanted to turn around and leave at the foot of the mountain." ”

Gu Jinxian didn't care about Ye Quan's demolition, and continued, "Let's go to Shi'an County to watch the cockfighting again...... I haven't eaten anything yet! ”

Jin Chao invited them in and instructed Qingpu to find someone in the small kitchen to cook for the two little ancestors. The two of them sat on the stone pier under the grapevines, looking at Gu Jinchao's courtyard and feeling very fresh. "It's not like the lobby girl's temperament, this looks like a hermit's courtyard."

Ye Liang didn't look at Gu Jinchao, and drank his own tea.

Jin Chao first asked the girl to bring them two plates of salty crisp and honey cakes, and a plate of fruits.

Gu Jinxian seemed very interested, but Jin Chao couldn't help but think of his previous life when he stood in Chen Sanye's study with his hands behind his back, with a gloomy expression. She sighed to herself, not knowing if he would become like that in the future......

She spoke to Gu Jinxian: "Did you come to me just to ask for something to eat?" ”

Gu Jinxian shook his head and said, "Cousin forgot, I said I was going to come to you to ask for an orchid." ”

Jin Chao smiled bitterly, what she spent time in the side courtyard in her previous life is quite effective now. No wonder Gu Jinxian is so kind to her, and she still owes the blessing of orchids.

Ye Quan asked her, "What kind of tea are you?" ”

Jin Chao said: "It's last year's Wanchun silver leaf." ”

He nodded: "No wonder it tastes a little astringent...... "The tea is still better in season."

How can there be such a thing, when he goes to someone's house as a guest, he still dislikes the astringent taste of tea...... There is no problem with storing this Wanchun silver leaf for a few years! This son of the world is indeed weird. Jin Chao thought secretly in his heart, but said softly on his face: "There is no good tea in the small family, the prince forgives me." ”

Ye Liang glanced at her and said softly: "Don't be angry, I didn't say you." After thinking about it, he added, "You forgot, you want to call me cousin." ”

He has a keen sense of others.

Jin Chao couldn't say anything for a while.

Gu Jinxian said to Jin Chao: "Don't mind, cousin, my uncle is very casual, and don't take what he says to heart." I want to see those orchids you raise, I don't know where to ......" looks very much looking forward to it.

Jin Chao said: "In the conservatory, I also said that I would go to see it after dinner." It's not a rare breed either, don't be disappointed, cousin......"

"What are you doing when you eat, it's important to look at the flowers!" Gu Jinxian urged to see it.

Jin Chao couldn't resist his eagerness, so he asked Ye Quan: "I don't know...... Do you want to go with your cousin? ”

Ye Liang raised his head, looked at her with a pair of dark eyes, and was a little interested: "I'm not interested in those, I want to rest first......" After speaking, he leaned lazily against the stone pillar, plucked those fruits with his white fingertips, and was so elegant that he picked out cherries and put them in his mouth like picking strings.

Since he didn't want to go to see it, Jin Chao naturally didn't force it, and took Gu Jinxian to the warm house behind the inner room.

The greenhouse is full of flowers, the Jin Dynasty loves camellia more than orchids, and seven or eight out of ten camellias in the flower room are all kinds of camellias, which are in full bloom. Orchids are placed on another shelf, which is still a more common type of spring orchid, Jianlan, and Huilan. The lotus petals and green clouds bloomed just right, and the remaining butterflies were also full of fragrance.

Gu Jinxian looked at it and was amazed: "Although it is a common variety, it is rare for flowers to bloom so well, and now that the flowering period of the lotus petal green cloud is almost over, why is it still blooming so luxuriantly?" ”

The Jin Dynasty's skill of raising flowers was explored by himself, but he just passed the time, and he didn't care about telling Gu Jinxian about it.

"When it sends out its earliest flower buds, pinch off some of them, and put them in a cool and shady place when the weather is warm, so that the flowering can be delayed."

Gu Jinxian asked a lot more, he was really thirsty for knowledge. He saw that the few pots of camellia raised by the Jin Dynasty were also good, and he was thinking about whether he could ask her for two pots, but he heard a sharp cat meow outside!

It's the voice of Hug Pu!

Jin Chao glanced at Gu Jinxian, and the two of them immediately walked out. Under the corridor, Caifu, Bai Yun, Yuzhu, and Yutong were all standing beside them, Ye Liang was half-squatting, but Baopu was so frightened that he jumped behind the pillar and looked at them vigilantly.

Jin Chao saw a drop of blood coming out of Ye Liang's tiger's mouth, frowned and said to Caifu, "Go and get the wound medicine and bandages." He turned his head and asked Bai Yun, "What's going on?" ”

Bai Yun choked up in a hurry, this scratched son is the son of Changxing and the world, what can the two little girls Yuzhu and Yutong do, this kind of thing is not for her to stand up! "Yes...... Be...... The slave maid didn't know that the slave was pruning the begonias at that time. ”

Jin Chao looked at Yuzhu, this cat has always been Yuzhu watching.

Yuzhu was also very aggrieved: "My cousin said that there was no need to wait, let the slave and Yutong play with the rope on the side...... The slave and the maid ...... I played with Yutong and turned the rope, and I didn't see my cousin being caught by Baopu......"

Jin Chao saw that they were still holding a circle of colorful strings in their hands.

"Don't ask them, I'll tell you." Ye Liang stood up, took the bandage brought by Caifu and wiped the blood, and threw it to her again.

"I see your cat sleeping under the eaves, just curious and want to tease it, but I don't want to be grumpy."

Yuzhu hurriedly shook his head: "Miss, you also know how old Hug Pu is, it won't hurt people......"

Jin Chao whispered to her: "Don't talk yet!" She walked towards the guarded Baopu, who shrank behind the pillar again, but Jinchao quickly grabbed its ribs and picked it up, and found that blood was oozing from between its front paws, almost dyeing its hair red.

She carefully held up Bao Pu's injured front paws, Bao Pu meowed in pain, stretched out her claws and wanted to grab Jin Chao, but its claws were no longer flexible because of the injury, so they didn't scratch her. Caifu next to him immediately brought over the basket and asked Jin Chao to put Baopu inside.

Jin Chao was a little angry, so he hugged Pu and grabbed him, it was just a kitten, why did he hurt it? She calmed down for a moment and asked Ye Liang softly: "Hug Pu's injury...... I don't know what my cousin said? ”

He looked at Jin Chao with dark eyes and explained, "It hurt me, I just want to punish it." ”

Gu Jinxian didn't listen well, and what his uncle did never felt that he was wrong, but it was a kitten raised by Gu Jinchao...... Why didn't he weigh it, it was good now, he didn't dare to ask Gu Jinchao for flowers. "Uncle, that cat doesn't care about people in the first place, so why should he get along with animals. Are you ......" He could only give Ye Liang a look, he was a junior, and he couldn't say that the elders apologized for such trivial and heavy words.

Ye Liang slowly put his injured hand into his sleeve and said, "It's just a cat, wait until I go and buy you ten or eight purebred Persian cats tomorrow to ......come over," he paused, and said to her: "But it's not good to raise these." ”

Although Jin Chao was angry, he also knew that he couldn't offend Ye Quan, so he only said calmly: "Didn't my cousin also raise these at home?" ”

Ye Quan shook his head and said, "It's different, everything I raise lives by myself." Cats and dogs are different, they will have feelings for their owners...... Why would you want a brute to like you? ”

What a word!

Gu Jinxian tugged at Ye Liang's sleeve and wanted him to shut up.

Jin Chao smiled slightly: "Everything has a spirit. My cousin and my second cousin will have dinner first, and I will go to my mother's place once, so I will say goodbye first. He also instructed Bai Yun and Yuzhu to take Baopu to heal, and he and Yutong went to Xixiao Courtyard together, leaving Caifu to serve these two masters.

Ye Quan watched her leave, his lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it.
