Chapter 12: Suspicion
Gu Jinrong's face was not good-looking when he thought about it carefully, what Jin Chao said, he really didn't care. The second sister said that he came, and she didn't think about the truth of this matter at all, nor did she consider the faces of the two. It is indeed a bit reckless to act on his own, and if it reaches his father's ears, he will be reprimanded again.
Jin Chao looked at him and didn't speak, his still immature and delicate face was red and white for a while, she felt that Gu Jinrong should think about it herself, and said in a relaxed tone: "Mother is still sick, if she hears that you and I are not in harmony and make trouble again, how can her health be better?" If you don't like me, you can't care less about your mother, no matter what, the blood we shed is the same. ”
Gu Jinrong asked after a while, "...... Then, eldest sister, is this girl really what you forced from your second sister? ”
Jin Chao only said: "This girl is outside the door now, I'll let her come in and answer." ”
She walked straight out of the study door, and after a while, Gu Jinrong saw a very tall girl walk in, kowtow to him first, and then began to say: "The slave Qingpu was originally the personal maid of the eldest lady, and then the slave and maid made a mistake, and the eldest lady punished the slave maid." A few days ago, I saw the slave maid at the second lady's place, and I also felt that I missed it, and I thought that the slave maid had changed herself, so I let the slave and maid come back and continue to serve. ”
Qingpu spoke steadily, not even raising his eyelids.
Gu Jinrong saw that this girl was indeed what Jin Chao had always taken with him.
I saw that she was wearing a jade bracelet on her hand, and two gold silk beads were used in her hair bun, although the style was simple, but the things were not ordinary, I thought this girl was doing well here.
He continued to ask, "Did you follow the eldest lady voluntarily?" ”
Qingpu smiled lightly: "The slave maid is the person of the young lady, and she has done rough work in the second lady's small kitchen for a year, and her hands are also scarred, so she naturally wants to continue to follow the eldest lady." At least the eldest lady treats me very well. ”
Gu Jinrong's brows moved slightly: "You are doing rough work in the small kitchen?" ”
Qingpu spread out her hand, and her voice was still steady: "The slave maid was originally pampered, but let the second lady practice a thick skin." The rough work is the most tempering person, chopping wood with your hands, the eldest young master must not have seen the girl do it, right? ”
A pair of originally thin white hands, with scars crisscrossing the palms, deep and shallow, even the palm lines are blurred.
It's a bit shocking.
Gu Jinrong left Qingtong Courtyard and immediately went to Cuixuan Courtyard. He wanted to ask the truth, he didn't believe that the second sister, who had always been gentle, would treat the person who originally served the eldest sister harshly. If so...... The second sister's intentions can be imagined.
Gu Lan didn't expect him to come back so quickly, and said in her heart that she didn't know if she had a falling out with Gu Jinchao, or if she really asked him to bring Qingpu back, of course, she liked both of them. However, Gu Jinrong's face was very ugly, but he came to her......
Was Gu Jinchao angry? Still is...... What was found?
Gu Lan thought of Gu Jinchao, who she had become more and more impenetrable recently, and was on guard for a while, and as soon as her mind turned around, she settled down to meet her.
"What's wrong with our brother Rong, in such a hurry!"
Gu Jinrong saw Gu Lan's gentle smile, his heart calmed down a little, and he said in a low voice: "Second sister...... I have something to ask you, go into the study and tell it. ”
After listening to what Gu Jinrong said, Gu Lan was also surprised: "I didn't know that the people in the small kitchen treated her so harshly!" Originally, Gu Jinchao drove her out and didn't give her anything, but I saw that she was pitiful, so I stayed in Cuixuan Courtyard...... I wanted to treat her better, and if I found a lover, I would be worthy. How did such a thing happen to me......" her little face turned white, and there were tears in her eyes, "I'm sorry for her, and I'm afraid that my eldest sister will not like her when she goes back." I just want to keep her......"
Gu Jinrong saw that the second sister blamed herself so much, and the doubts just now were also eliminated.
After all, the two have had a sister-brother relationship for so many years, and he doesn't know how the second sister behaves, and he is reluctant to step on an ant to death, how can she have the intention to abuse the girl. After feeling slightly relieved, Gu Jinrong comforted her: "Second sister, don't cry...... You want to save her after all, you are kind, you can't blame you for this matter, if you cry again, Aunt Song will be distressed when she sees it...... If you're afraid to be sorry for the eldest sister, I'll prepare something to send to that girl, and the eldest sister shouldn't blame you. ”
After Gu Jinrong left, Jin Chao ate the dim sum he made, the dim sum was already cold, but it still tasted good.
Qingpu helped her pinch her leg, and after standing in the snow for a long time that day, her leg has been a little painful.
"Do you think the eldest young master will be suspicious of the second young lady?" She asked.
Jin Chao said: "I don't know...... Since Gu Jinrong is so easy to be moved by my words in three or two sentences, it must be easy to be moved by Gu Lan's words. After all, he is still young, how can he really tell the difference. I just hope that he has doubts in his heart and that it is okay at all. ”
Then he said, "I made two portions of pastries just now, and you put the other one in the food box, and we will bring it to my mother." ”
Carrying the food box to the Xiexiao Garden, the mother was sleeping, and the mother woke up half an hour later, lying on the Luohan bed and talking to the Jin Dynasty.
The end of the year is coming, last year it was still the mother's main middle school feeding, and this year it should be Aunt Song. However, Ji also told her to help Aunt Song more, she should also learn to do these things, and if she goes to her mother-in-law's family in the future, she will not be at a loss.
"It's time to put two more pairs of silver buns for you, look at your recent plain clothes, are you the ones you didn't like before?" Ji asked her with a smile.
Jin Chao knew that his mother doted on him, and he also said with a smile: "It's just that I think it's too luxurious, and my daughter's treasury has a lot of things, so I don't need to do it anymore." ”
Ji said: "The Ji family has a gold and silver shop in Changzhou Mansion, where there are many skilled craftsmen, and the craftsmanship of playing gold silk buns is also very good...... There are often relatives of princes and ministers to order, you have been in the house for half a year, but you don't like to dress up, this is not good...... Mother has a box of rubies, translucent and ruddy, rare and excellent products, give me two pairs of gold silk bun face for the Jin Dynasty, plus a pair of gold delicate grass insect head face. "It's very interesting to say, and the spirit is much better," ...... With twelve taels of gold, the lotus pattern auspicious cloud pattern ......"
Jin Dynasty is a little ridiculous, twelve taels of gold, on the head is not too heavy to panic! But seeing that his mother was so interested, he did not refuse.
Jin Chao didn't see Aunt Song, so he asked Xu's mother about her.
"In recent years, it has been closed, and the lord has less to do in the court, and Aunt Song is mostly with the lord." Mother Xu replied with a smile.
Gu Jinchao's heart sank. If you get along with your father day and night according to Aunt Song, it will be a matter of time before you conceive a child. If there is really something wrong with her mother, and Aunt Song gives birth to a boy, it will be easy to become a housemother, and at that time, it will be difficult for her to bring her down!
But this is not something she can stop...... It would be nice if I could think of a way to make the two no longer face each other day and night.
Ji didn't care: "...... The master also needs someone to serve him, and Aunt Song's temperament is still very good. She doesn't have to come here often...... Mother Xu, you can go to Juliu Pavilion to spread the word in a moment. said that it has been closed in recent years, and Aunt Song will stay with the master to serve, so she doesn't have to come to me. ”
Jin Chao's eyebrows moved, he held his mother's hand, and said, "Absolutely not." ”
Ji was a little puzzled, she was sick and couldn't serve in person, this concubine served the master, it was a matter of course.
Jin Chao asked Xu's mother to take the girl out and close the door first, and then said in a low voice: "Mother, if you want you to take a room for your father, do you have a candidate?" ”
Gu Jinchao left after evening.
After Xu's mother sent Jin Chao, she asked the little girl to come in to change the charcoal stove that had already been cold, and saw Ji's expression stunned.
She was a little worried, and walked to Ji's side and tucked the brocade quilt for her: "Madame is difficult to be divine." ”
Ji laughed: "Sister Chao has also grown up, and she knows that things are ...... man-made."
Xu's mother heard that this was what Ji was going to tell her, and sure enough, Ji continued: "Jin Chao asked me to help her father choose an aunt again, I don't have to think too much about my net worth, I am obedient and obedient, and my appearance is the most important." ”
Mother Xu was shocked, the eldest lady was really brought up by her grandmother, and she acted so boldly, others couldn't do it! Where is the reason why a child proposes to help his father choose a concubine, or a young lady who is waiting to be out of the cabinet, this will have an impact on the girl's reputation.
But she didn't look like she was angry when she saw Ji's expression, so she asked, "What do you think?" ”
Ji closed his eyes a little tiredly: "I don't believe in Aunt Song, but I also believe that she is gentle and kind, and it is rare to be delicate and know how to take care of her." But the Jin Dynasty didn't believe in Aunt Song, but it was a completely guarded embankment...... I don't know if this kid listened to what others said in private, or if she thought it herself......"
Mother Xu said: "Do you think ...... Someone gossips around the eldest lady? ”
Ji nodded: "She has a much gentler personality recently, but she is smarter and knows how to strategize." If it weren't for someone next to her, how could it have changed so much, my child I still understand. ”
Mother Xu hesitated a little and said, "Then do you want to be a slave......
Ji said, "No, this is what I would like to see...... The steward that Sister Chao'er wants to see, you can help her choose it. ”
