Chapter Ninety-Seven: Zhongyuan
Several mothers-in-law carried Aunt Song back to the inner room. Gu Dezhao summoned Gu Lan and Jin Chao over and said, "Aunt Song killed the housemother, I wanted to send her to Jingmiao Nunnery but she died. The green lantern ancient Buddha accompanied her, so that she could atone for a little sins......"
Before Gu Dezhao finished speaking, Gu Lan burst into tears: "Father, my aunt is like this, how can I live when I go to Jingmiao'an!" ”
Gu Dezhao sighed: "Sister Lan, you always have to listen to me...... Looking at Aunt Song's current appearance, she can't go to Jingmiao Nunnery. There is a Tingtao Pavilion built in the pine of Huashan behind Tongruo Building, although the place is small, but it is clean. Sister Chao, you choose two or three more stable mothers-in-law and girls to serve Aunt Song in Tingtao Pavilion, and then move over after she has a little moon...... This can be regarded as a Qing repair. ”
Gu Lan was still unwilling, but looking at Gu Dezhao's appearance, she knew that there was no room for maneuver in this matter.
…… It's better to endure this time for now, and I'll talk about it later. After all, my father was angry. Gu Lan stopped talking when he thought of this.
Jin Chao couldn't have imagined that Aunt Song would suddenly go crazy, she still wanted to send Aunt Song to Jingmiao'an. She glanced into the inner room, but she was a little suspicious in her heart, and she didn't know if Song Miaohua was really crazy or pretending to be crazy...... If it's really crazy, it's nothing, if it's pretending, she's also very smart, all the things she did were exposed by herself, if she didn't pretend to be crazy and stupid, she wouldn't be so easy to mess around.
Jin Chao agreed, Gu Dezhao nodded, and went back with the girl in charge.
Jin Chao got up and walked to the main hall, knelt on the futon and muttered a few words, and offered incense to the Bodhisattva.
Gu Lan followed her out, stood behind her and asked coldly, "Are you telling the Ji clan that you helped her take revenge?" ”
Jin Chao shook his head, sighed and said, "I just put a pillar of incense on the Bodhisattva." This Bodhisattva invited in, my aunt has not worshiped for a day, and the Bodhisattva knows that people are sincere or insincere. She turned her head and found that Gu Lan looked at her with resentment that she had never seen before.
"You have harmed my unborn brother and sister, and you have made my mother crazy...... Gu Jinchao, your heart is really vicious. Gu Lan whispered, "Don't forget, you still have a handle in my hands." I'm afraid no one knows more about you and Chen Xuanqing than me......"
She smiled lightly: "Gu Lan, there is no such statement. ”
Gu Lan bit his lip and looked at Gu Jinchao coldly, and after a long time, he asked in a low voice, "You...... What did you do? ”
Jin Chao ignored her and turned to walk out the door.
If Gu Lan knew that the medicine pillow that harmed her aunt was sent by her own hands, and she took it out and destroyed it in front of her just now, it would definitely be very exciting.
But forget it.
The next morning, the news of my aunt's miscarriage was known. But no one dared to look at her, Gu Dezhao asked her to move to Tingtao Pavilion with a clear meaning, this is not going to see her again at all, who will touch the mold. Gu Yi and Gu Xi came back and said a few words to Jin Chao, Aunt Song really couldn't turn over now, they were happy for the eldest sister.
Gu Jinchao invited them to lunch, and Xu's mother came to see her with a few mothers-in-law: "...... It was the one who had served his wife before, and it was most convenient to look at Aunt Song. ”
Gu Jinchao looked at them one by one, and the three mothers-in-law were very calm. She told these three mothers-in-law to be optimistic about Song Miaohua, no one knows whether Song Miaohua is really crazy or pretending to be crazy, but if she can keep 'pretending' like this, it doesn't matter to her.
Mother Xu and Jin Chao said to Gu Lan: "...... She asked the lord for her life, and also offered the Bodhisattva in her yard, and now she doesn't like to go out, practicing calligraphy and copying scriptures all day long, or being a female red needle, very quiet. Gu Lan still couldn't go to see Aunt Song, so she simply closed the door to recuperate.
Jin Chao nodded to indicate that she understood, and after a while, Steward Li came to Gu Jinchao and said that Gu Dezhao wanted to discuss with her about Gu Jinrong's study.
He is now serving filial piety and cannot go to Qifang Hutong to study.
Gu Dezhao also asked Gu Jinrong to come over, asked him what he meant, and said, "...... It's better to invite Xixi to come over and teach the class. After all, you will take the township examination in three years, and you must not be sloppy in studying. ”
Gu Jinrong replied: "My son also knows, but my son thinks that Xixi is not easy to find." Those who are well educated are not necessarily good at teaching, and most of the people who teach well are from Guozijian or Hanlin born...... "and they will not come to teach him alone."
Gu Jinchao was listening, so he said to Gu Dezhao: "...... I heard that the Yu family's ethnology is very good, and last time in the spring of Beizhili, they also produced two lifters. Why don't you let Brother Rong go to the Yu family's clan study. The Yu family is also in Sili Hutong, and they can come and go every day, which is not considered unruly. ”
Gu Jinchao remembered the affairs of the Yu family, or because in the turmoil of officialdom a few months later, it was rare for them to be a big family that completely kept themselves. It's better to mix up the relationship now, it will always be beneficial in the future.
The old lady of the Yu family was originally a bachelor in the Hanlin Academy, and he was a teacher for Emperor Taizu, so he shaded his children and grandchildren, although the old lady's sons said that their official positions were not high, but their reputation in Hanlin was good, and the rules of the family were kept tight. Several grandchildren are also successful, and there are no descendants with a bad reputation like the third son of Yongyang Bo.
They also come and go with the Yu family during the New Year's holidays, and the neighborhood is harmonious. As long as Gu Dezhao brought it up, the old lady of the Yu family would not say anything, and the scholarly family naturally had its own open-mindedness.
Thinking about it this way, it is not bad for Gu Jinrong to go to the Yu family's family study. I'm just afraid that he will have to go there himself.
Gu Dezhao listened to it and thought for a long time, and on the second day, he brought tea leaves and lychee round eye fruit sticky to visit the old lady of the Yu family, and temporarily settled the matter of Gu Jinrong's study, and Jinrong could go to the Yu family's clan study next month. The old man of the Yu family also specially sent Gu Jinrong a few famous posts and asked him to take a look.
A few days later, Xu's mother came to Jin Chao and said, "...... Aunt Song is now completely unrecognizable, and she often goes crazy and wants children. The mother-in-law can't see any clues, and she guesses that she is really crazy. ”
Jin Chao also went to Linyanxie to see it, and after giving birth for half a month, the medicine they gave Aunt Song gradually stopped, and her face finally got better. just hugged the pillow in her arms and refused to let go, and called her pillow to be 'Brother Xiu'er'. Talking to her show brother intimately.
If her madness was faked, it would be terrible.
Mrs. Dou, who was serving, said, "The name that my aunt gave to that child is called Brother Xiu...... The pillow she was holding was not allowed to be touched by anyone. Now that my aunt is still in Xiaoyuezi, she should be able to give birth and raise her, but the slave maid wants to wipe her body and feed her, but she won't let her, and anyone who approaches her will be afraid......"
Aunt Song is still in Xiaoyue, and in half a month, she will move to Tingtao Pavilion.
Jin Chao said lightly: "Let her go." She left Aunt Song alive and sent her mother-in-law to take care of her, which is already benevolent and righteous.
Gu Jinchao returned to Qingtong Courtyard and never set foot in Linyan Pavilion from then on.
Aunt Song's miscarriage was at the end of June, and soon it was July 15, the Midyear Festival.
There is a new mourning in the family. It stands to reason that there is a new grave to worship the ancestors, and there is a grand prayer hall in the Taoist temple to surpass the dead. A few days before the Midyear Festival, Shi'an County began to sell dead utensils, lotus leaf lamps, oil cakes, pies, quiches, and cakes. Now these things are all handled by Xu's mother, and she sent someone to buy the clothes and dark utensils early, so as not to be in a hurry to prepare. Waiting until the day before the Zhongyuan Festival, after preparing wine and food, Gu Dezhao took a few people from the Jin Dynasty to go to the new grave of the Ji family.
Ji was buried in the Gu family cemetery, leaning on the three boxwood trees in the form of pins.
Gu Dezhao went to the grave first, Gu Jinchao knelt down to worship her mother, and she stood next to the boxwood tree and looked at the Xicui Mountain, the rolling hills, which were very lush in the late summer.
Gu Lan, Gu Jinrong and others knelt down in turn. After going to the new grave, Gu Dezhao asked Jin Chao and the others to go back first. “…… I still have something to go to Pingxing, and I'll come back in the afternoon, Sister Chao, you first prepare things to worship your ancestors at home. ”
Jin Chao agreed, but felt that his father was a little strange. Waiting for the next day, Gu Dezhao's mother-in-law came over and replied: "...... The lord went to the Yanqing Taoist Temple in Pingxing, and the Taoist temple was holding a Taoist meeting, and the lord listened to it. After a pause, the woman whispered again, "The master invited the Qingxu Daoist to come back." ”
Gu Jinchao only understood after hearing this, no wonder his father didn't make it clear to her. This Qingxu Taoist of Yanqing Taoist Temple, that is, the person who said that she had a collision with Gu Dezhao's career. Later, after she returned to the Gu family, her father seemed to have less contact with this Taoist chief.
…… I don't know why I invited this Taoist chief to my house again.
Jin Chao thought about it and asked Caifu to find Biyi.
Biyi served Gu Dezhao's study and diet, and Jin Chao said: "...... The Taoist chief preached to the master, and the master was very useful when he heard it. In the evening, I had a long talk with the Taoist chief and talked for a long time. The slave didn't understand it, but only vaguely heard the Taoist chief say something about the five colors and five flavors......"
Five colors and five flavors...... As soon as Jin Chao heard it, he remembered that this was a passage from the Tao Te Ching.
The five colors make people blind, the five tones make people deaf, the five flavors make people feel refreshed, the galloping hunt makes people crazy, and the rare goods make people get in trouble. It is not the goal of the saint's belly, so he goes to the other and takes this.
The meaning of this passage is that one cannot indulge in pleasure.
Gu Jinchao thought about it carefully, and couldn't help but gasp! How could she not have thought of this layer!
The death of my mother and the matter of Aunt Song hit my father too hard. Now he doesn't go to any of his aunts, and he begins to look for sustenance in his faith. If he changed to another Taoist, Jin Chao wouldn't feel anything, as long as his father could find sustenance and make him feel better, why would she interfere. It's just that when he thinks that it is this Qingxu Dao Chief, Jin Chao always feels a little uneasy in his heart.
This person, after all, with a sentence back then,
