Gu Jinchao walked out of the door, Gu Lan was standing under the plum tree in the courtyard, and her maid Ziling was helping her pick red plums from the branches.

Seeing Gu Jinchao coming out, Gu Lan came over: "...... It's still the best red plum in my mother's yard, pick some back and insert them in a plum bottle. The eldest sister has been sick for so long, and I was learning embroidery with the master again and didn't go to see you, so I had to ask you to go to my place to eat some pastries to make amends. ”

Gu Jinchao said lightly: "Don't get in the way, you have a heart, I know." ”

Gu Lan pursed his lips, but quickly laughed again.

Cuixuan Courtyard is far away from Qingtong Courtyard, and next to it is Tongruo Building, where the two aunts live. Passing through a lake, we went up the stone path and planted a lot of green bamboos and many flowers and trees. Cuixuan Courtyard is a courtyard of three rooms and five frames, the east and west wings, the backyard has an ear room, a corner of the yard is planted with four seasons begonias, and a corner is actually set up and planted with honeysuckle flowers.

After Jin Chao sat down, Ziling brought the powder fruit up, and the four powder fruits were placed on the white porcelain plate with a light red peony, and the fillings such as the dew and bamboo tire could be seen inside, in addition to the yellow cake, white sugar pear crisp and other pastries.

Gu Lan personally placed silver chopsticks and blue and white bowls for Jin Chao. said to Ziling: "I'll say something considerate to my eldest sister, you go down first and close the door." ”

The two little maids in the house also went out, and Gu Lan smiled and said, "...... I always feel that you have something hidden in your heart, and you might as well laugh as usual. If the eldest sister is upset about anything, you can tell me about it......"

Gu Jinchao raised her eyebrows slightly, she originally thought that Gu Lan was her good sister, and she would tell her everything, and Gu Lan was simply clear about herself and Chen Xuanqing. Speaking of which, Gu Lan must have known her better than herself in her previous life.

Gu Jinchao also knew that Gu Lan would most likely be suspicious. I used to be very intimate with her, but she really can't be intimate now. And Gu Jinchao's personality when she was fifteen years old, she couldn't show it, she couldn't pretend to be her original appearance.

It's better to cover up the past.

I made up my mind to pay attention. She sighed and whispered, "Chen Xuanqing...... He is already engaged to another woman! I only learned the news at the flower party in the Guogong Mansion a few days ago, and I was really angry, but at this time, my mother's illness was always not getting better, and I was so worried that I couldn't sleep well day and night, not only to worry about Xuanqing, but also to worry about my mother's ......."

The corner of her eyes glanced at Gu Lan, and her expression was very calm.

Gu Lan also sighed, held her hand and said, "The eldest sister is really in love with Chen Qigongzi, he has already made a marriage...... What is the eldest sister going to do? ”

Since she was not surprised, she knew that Chen Xuanqing had already made a marriage? Gu Jinchao glanced at the fragrance beside him.

Gu Lan smiled again: "It's just a marriage contract, as long as people haven't passed the door, this marriage contract can't be counted!" There is only one Chen Qigongzi, and he is the eldest sister's beloved, so don't be shaken by the words of others! ”

Gu Jinchao smiled: "You don't need the second sister to mention it, of course." Since Gu Lan hopes that she will continue to pester Chen Xuanqing, she has to act like this now, so that Gu Lan can relax her vigilance.

To provoke her to like someone who can't like her at all, Gu Lan really has a heart. Back then, didn't he think that Chen Xuanqing could only like himself. It's pathetic and ridiculous to think about it now!

Gu Lan's smile was a little unbearable for a while, and he sandwiched a white sugar pear cake for Jin Chao, and said intimately: "Eldest sister try this." ”

The white sugar pear crisp tastes sweet, has the fragrance of pears, and melts into slag in the mouth, which is very appetizing to her.

She often ate white sugar pear crisp at her grandmother's house when she was a child, and she liked it very much, but she always felt that the taste was wrong in other places, and she hadn't eaten it for more than ten years. That's right! Jin Chao's heart moved slightly, although Gu Lan learned from the female red and learned the piano and music, he did not learn from the master. This white sugar pear crisp is naturally made by the maid......

Gu Jinchao suddenly thought of Qingpu. When Qingpu was at his grandmother's house, he often made white sugar pear cakes for his young self, and the taste was exactly the same as this.

Qingpu is a girl brought back from the Ji family by Gu Jinchao.

Speaking of why Jin Chao was fostered in the Gu family, I also have to talk about Gu Jinchao's father.

Gu Dezhao is very convinced of Taoism, and there are often Taoist leaders in Yanqing Taoist Temple at home, among which there is a Qingxu Taoist chief, who is very profound, Gu Dezhao treats him as a guest, and the two have a very good personal relationship.

When Gu Jinchao was born, his father only had an eldest daughter when he was twenty-two years old, so he naturally loved her like a treasure, and he also asked Qingxu Dao Chang to make a divination. Qingxu Dao Chang said that she was a fire life, and the divination hexagram had a 'shock' hexagram, and her father was a wood life, if she raised the Jin Dynasty by her side before the age of eight, I am afraid that she would be born and restrain each other, and the 'shock' hexagram would be hindered, which would have an impact on his official career.

The father believed it and after discussing with Jinchao's mother, he sent her to his grandmother's house for foster care, and he did not pick her up until she was nine years old.

Before the Jin Dynasty was nine years old, he spent all his time in the Ji family.

She will be returning home when she turns nine. Grandmother was relieved, and personally helped her choose a good-natured, smart and calm girl among the people who served her, that is, Qingpu, to accompany her to return home.

Jin Chao originally treated Qingpu very well, but Qingpu was not as good as Liuxiang and would be clever and good, and she was taciturn, Gu Jinchao inevitably felt that she was dull and didn't like her. What's more, in Chen Xuanqing's matter, others were afraid of her, so they naturally said in a good direction, but Qingpu dissuaded her three or four times. Jin Chao really didn't like her anymore, so he simply got annoyed and threw it into the kitchen in the outer courtyard. I never wanted to see her again.

Thinking of Qingpu, Jin Chao sighed lightly.

She looked up at Gu Lan and said with a smile: "I don't know whose craftsmanship this white sugar pear cake is, wouldn't it be troublesome for you to send it to me three times a day, it's better to give this girl to me directly, and I don't have to think about it every day." ”

The girl who makes white sugar pear cake is Qingpu!

Gu Lan was shocked, didn't Gu Jinchao dislike Qingpu, why did he suddenly want to take her back? She must have been selfish when she asked Qingpu to come, how could she return it to Gu Jinchao! She was afraid that this girl would be used by Gu Jinchao again if she saw the opportunity.

Gu Jinchao slowly closed the tea lid and said, "Could it be that this girl's second sister likes it tightly, since it is placed in the small kitchen, it shouldn't be the one who serves the second sister closely." He smiled and patted her hand and said, "If the second sister feels that she is unwilling to let people go, wait a minute, I will ask Liuxiang to bring you the pair of black jade bracelets, don't you like those jade bracelets very much." ”

Gu Lan's face didn't look good, but he just said hesitantly: "...... It's just that this person turned out to be the eldest sister, called Qingpu, and I saw that she was good at making dim sum before bringing it back. What if the eldest sister wants to go back and makes the eldest sister angry? ”

Jin Chao's heart was really Qingpu, so he directly asked Gu Lan for someone.

"I'm going back, and I don't want to put it in front of me, I don't know where this person is now?"

She is the eldest daughter, and she directly asks for someone, and Gu Lan has no reason to refuse, since she has this identity, she naturally has to make good use of it.

Gu Lan usually regards herself as the concubine of the Gu family, and she always has to take the shelf of the concubine in front of outsiders. Gu Jinchao asked her directly for a girl like this, but it was as uncomfortable as hitting her in the face, and her face was ugly for a while and she couldn't recover.

Gu Jinchao naturally understands Gu Lan, she is the strongest, and she usually refuses to lag behind herself by half a point.

But Gu Jinchao is the eldest daughter of the Gu family, not her Gu Lan.

Jin Chao didn't seem to be oppressive at all, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, I feel much better when I come to the second sister, you can let Qingpu come to me later." He said to Liuxiang again, "You go to see Qingpu Ke if there is anything you need to help, I can go back with Bai Yun." ”

Gu Jinchao returned to Qingtong Courtyard, called Caifu in again, and told her that she wanted a new girl: "...... I want the original Qingpu back. You took Yutong and Yuzhu to help clean up a room in the lower room, opened my storeroom to find a pair of silver spoons engraved with begonias, a few plum bottles, and decorated her room well, where to put what is the best, as long as you have an idea. ”

After Cai Fu agreed, she took the two little girls to clean up. But her heart turned quickly, a few days ago, the eldest lady asked Bai Yun to inquire about Qingpu, but today she has already asked for someone back, but she doesn't know what the young lady is planning. and asked her to decorate the room...... Sister Liuxiang doesn't know where to go. Miss treats her well these days, it seems that this is to reuse her?

Tsef was a little apprehensive. It was not easy for her to get to the second-class maid, but the young lady never paid attention to her. When this kind of maid is old, the master can be casually matched with a maid or guard, and even given to a housekeeper to be a concubine. But the first-class maid in front of the young lady is different, if the master is willing, then he can be a good match, or he can also follow the master, be loyal and conscientious, and be prosperous.

Her palms were slightly sweaty, thinking that this matter had to be done very properly.

Gu Jinchao found Tong's mother to come in again. Tong's mother is the housekeeper mother of Qingtong Courtyard, and she was selected by her mother from the grange under her hand in her early years. Originally, the housekeeper's mother was a bigger level than the big girl, but the original Jin Dynasty trusted Liuxiang more, and many of Tong's mothers, such as disciplining the maid and arranging some things in the lady's daily life, were taken over by Liuxiang.

Tong's mother doesn't live in Qingtong Courtyard now, she helps manage some eight or nine-year-old girls in the inner courtyard in Qinglian Ju. Hearing Bai Yun say that Miss was looking for her, she couldn't help but ask her all the way: "What's the important thing about Miss?" Or, "How is Mademoiselle, ma'am?" ”

Bai Yun was also a housekeeper mother before, so she respected her more and replied patiently: "It's all okay, I don't know what's wrong with Miss." ”

Mother Tong could see that Bai Yun didn't seem to want to talk to her, so she didn't continue to ask. When she arrived at Qingtong Temple, Jin Chao was already waiting for her in the eastern period.

Jin Chao glanced up at her first, Tong's mother was in her forties, her complexion was darker than that of the women in the inner courtyard, and she wore a pair of small red gold-eared cloves, and there were no other ornaments.

Tong's mother said hello, and Jin Chao said, "...... I came to you today to ask if the register in this hospital is yours? ”

This sentence made Bai Yun and Tong's mother jump in their hearts.

The registration books in the courtyard, those are all things on the lady's account, given by the house, brought by the Ji family, and sent by others, and the register has always been collected by the housekeeper's mother, and the girl Liuxiang has not taken the register, and the things in this courtyard have not been recorded for a long time.

If the matter is asked, it must be the responsibility of Tong's mother, after all, although she is not in charge of her mother, her position is still there. Although she is indeed not to blame for this incident, Miss Liuxiang is troublesome with the registration book, so she has not been to her to get it back. But if the responsibility is put on Miss Liuxiang, the young lady will probably reprimand her for favoring the girl.

Tong's mother had to kneel down and say, "Please punish the young lady, it was the slave and maid who were negligent, this register is in the slave maid, but it has not been cleaned up for a long time." ”
