Although Ye Liang is Changxinghou's son-in-law, he was born weak and does not like to dance knives and guns. He was extremely gifted, and he had a grandfather who was a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, and he heard that he could write poems casually at the age of seven, but he didn't like to be famous. Until the age of twenty, Changxinghou's son has nothing to stand out.

Later, Shenzong ascended the throne, and Changxinghou was repeatedly suppressed by Zhang Julian, and the prince entered the officialdom. The official position has risen all the way, this person is particularly good at conspiracy and calculation, many old and refined people can't play him, his personality is uncertain, he doesn't play cards according to the card, Chen Xuanqing is a decent person, and he hated this person very much at that time.

Jin Chao still remembers a few things about him.

When Emperor Taizu conquered the country, in order to advocate frugality and simplicity and never forget the style of his roots, he formulated the rule that every meal of the palace meal must have a dish of tofu. Later, when I came to Shenzong, I was impatient that there was a faint dish of tofu on the banquet table every day. The prince gave him the idea, this tofu can be made with the brain marrow of a bird, and it is still white, tender and smooth tofu on the surface, but it tastes like the best delicacy.

Shenzong appreciated this idea very much, and instructed his subordinates to do it, and each plate of tofu would use hundreds of bird brains. The palace people followed suit, and even the princes and nobles, and the families of ministers also popularized this dish of thousand bird tofu. All of a sudden, the birds of Yanjing were overwhelmed.

Another time, in the seventh year of Wanli, when Ye Quan was in charge of Dali Temple, he wanted to study how many knives could be cut at most in Ling Chi's punishment, and used his power to transfer the prisoners out, so he tried it himself with great interest, and killed thirty-seven people at that time, so that he could study the most cutting methods.

This incident shocked the government and the opposition, and many officials said that they wanted the emperor to convict Ye Yuan, but the emperor loved him very much, saying that Changxinghou had fought for the country for several years and defended the frontier, how could he convict his son because of a few prisoners. When Chao asked Ye Liang how to cut the most knives.

Ye Liang shook his head slowly and said, "Don't use a knife, tie people to wooden beds and water boiling water." Then use an iron brush to brush until you see the bone ......"

…… Thinking of the things that Ye Liang had done later, Gu Jinchao's face was ugly for a while. Don't mess with this living Hades, otherwise you won't know how you'll die when the time comes!

After nightfall, eight sheep's horn glass lamps were lit in the weeping flower hall, and a night banquet was set up.

Mrs. Tai was served by the fifth lady and took a seat, but she didn't see Ye Liang when she looked up, beckoned Gu Jinxiao to come over, and asked him, "Why isn't your cousin at the table?" ”

Gu Jinxiao replied respectfully: "Grandmother, my cousin said that he was bored and panicked when he stayed here, and he wanted to walk around. ”

Mrs. Tai frowned: "Why are you so uneasy!" Your cousin is not well yet, what if he falls ill in this house! ”

The fifth lady comforted her on the side: "Mother, you don't have to worry about him, after inviting Xiao Qishan from Puding, Guizhou Province for treatment, his health has improved a lot...... You drink this bowl of Chuanbei lotus seed white fungus soup first, and I will send someone to find it. ”

Since it was the fifth lady who spoke, Mrs. Tai's expression was a little gloomy. Thinking of what the second lady said about this afternoon, she looked at the beautiful and clean side face of the fifth lady, but she didn't know how to ask, or whether she should ask. Although she is the mother-in-law of the fifth lady, she is also the daughter of Changxinghou......

Mrs. Tai swallowed back the words.

The fifth lady summoned several nurses to come over, and before she could tell where to look for them. I saw a thin and slender young man walking over, his clothes fluttering, and the light gradually gathered on him, and his side face was white and flawless, glowing with a warm jade shimmer. Hurriedly rushed up and grabbed his hand, and was also a little worried: "Where have you been, why haven't you come back for so long......?"

Ye Quan smiled lightly and said, "Second sister, don't worry, I'm going fishing." "He was carrying a straw rope in his hand, and he was holding a yellow koi, and he was still alive. He shook it in front of the fifth lady, as if he wanted to ask her for a compliment.

The fifth lady couldn't cry or laugh: "This fish was raised by Mrs. Tai!" Forget it, don't bother to talk about you. ”

Ye Liang collected his fish and said, "This fish is rare, other fish gather to grab food, but it doesn't move." You see - the fish have a temper too! Know not to eat what comes from it...... But I don't think this fish is smart. ”

The fifth lady said: "What kind of mess! You're about to wash your hands and get into the table. ”

Ye Liang handed the fish to the scholar standing on the side and instructed him: "Put it in the big porcelain jar in my study and raise it with the turtle." The scholar was afraid that the fish would die, so he immediately ran back with the fish, trying to find a tank to raise first.

The fifth lady talked to Mrs. Tai again, and after the banquet, Gu Siye's family should also go back, I don't know who should send it.

Mrs. Tai said: "I should also send it, after so many years, there are still grievances that I can't understand, and the Ji family is already sick like that...... You find two hundred-year-old ginseng plants in the warehouse and bring them back to the fourth child......"

The fifth lady nodded: "The daughter-in-law knows, I'll go and see the fourth sister-in-law when I'm free." ”

After the feast, the night was already dark.

Gu Jinchao finally left his ancestral house in a carriage with a blue curtain and a canopy of flowers, and his father wanted to ride in the same car as her.

“…… Or Sister Lan told me, I didn't even know before, why didn't you tell me? ”

Gu Jinchao suddenly remembered that Aunt Song wiped the hoarfrost on his eyebrows just now, and said softly: "Father, if you want to win others, don't let others know what hole cards you have." ”

The father frowned: "Who are you going to win?" What hole cards are not hole cards, who will harm you? ”

Jin Chao smiled and stopped talking.

The next day, she went to say goodbye to her mother, and the two ginseng plants had been delivered, and Xu's mother boiled a thick ginseng black chicken and fed it to her mother.

Jin Chao took the small bowl of green glaze diamond pattern to feed his mother personally, and his mother's spirit has not been very good after that illness, so he leaned on the big pillow and listened to Jin Chao talk to her slowly. After drinking the soup, she beat her mother's legs again, fearing that she would be uncomfortable if she didn't move her legs for a long time.

Ji said to her: "Your brother came to accompany me for a day yesterday, and I told him about you...... Somehow, that kid isn't close to you at all. When you go back to your grandmother's house for the twelve, take him back with you, and he doesn't go to his grandmother's house to stay......"

Jin Chao nodded, she also knew that Gu Jinrong didn't like her. Anyway, Gu Lan has been instilling this concept with him for more than ten years, and he can't change it for a while. I'm afraid she will have to find some way to make Gu Jinrong and Gu Lan a little stranger, now her mother's illness doesn't know when it will attack again, if Gu Jinrong still listens to Gu Lan in everything...... I'm afraid it will be difficult in the future.

Ji Shi took a light breath and said slowly, "Do you remember your second uncle?" ”

Jin Chao smiled: "Of course I remember, the second uncle likes to raise crickets and birds, and he also gave me a pair of thrushes......"

My grandmother only gave birth to an uncle and a mother, and the second uncle was a concubine, so she lived a very leisurely life, liking to play with flowers and plants, and also liked to raise some birds and fish.

Ji said: "Your second uncle has a room of aunt, named Yun Jin, who was originally his room, and your second aunt only raised it after she got married." Yun Xiang is Yun Jin's younger sister, and the two look very similar...... Your father liked Yunxiang very much. ”

Jin Chao didn't know why his mother suddenly mentioned the second uncle's aunt, and looked at her suspiciously, but Ji's expression was very flat: "Yunxiang should have two sisters, and one was released from the mansion in the early years and married the son of a county Cheng as a concubine." Yun Xiang went to see her at the time, and she gave birth to a daughter......"

Jin Chao suddenly had a premonition that her mother was going to say something, she held her mother's hand and looked at her tightly: "Mother ......"

Ji continued: "That kid should be fifteen this year, the same age as you. She said that she couldn't help it anymore, her voice tightened, gradually weakened, and her eyes were already red, "You go to Aunt Yun and ask, that child has no ...... to marry"

Jin Chao was quiet again, and she looked at the shadows of the branches outside the window in a daze, casting on the small surface of the black paint, and the smoke in the furnace rose straight up, slowly dispersing. The room was gloomy ...... There was no fire, the cold eaves blocked the sunlight, and there was only a faint shadow on the mother's face.

She thought for a moment and asked softly, "Miss Moxue, did I tell you everything that happened to my ancestral family?" ”

Ji Shi nodded lightly, if it weren't for this, she probably wouldn't have made up her mind...... She didn't know that Gu Lan's courage was so big, although her Jin Dynasty was not easy to bully, but looking at the scene of listening to Mo Xue talk about that day, she couldn't help but throb in her heart...... What mother would have seen her daughter being bullied like this. If it weren't for Aunt Song, would Gu Lan dare to do this to her?

Gu Dezhao dotes on Aunt Song, and she knows it. It's just that so many years have passed, and the relationship between the two has long been gone, and what can't be kept can't be kept after all, Gu Dezhao was bent on leaving the ancestral family in order to marry her, and then she didn't care about the concubines one after another, and she didn't care anymore.

…… However, if Aunt Song dares to harm her daughter with her love, it will be unbearable!

She should be happy knowing that her mother agreed to this. But Gu Jinchao was really not happy, why her mother agreed, she knew better than anyone else, if it wasn't for her and her younger brother, how could she agree.

She continued to rub her mother's legs and said softly, "Mother, don't worry, I know how to do it." ”
