Mama Wang untied the key on her waist and helped Gu Cheng open the door of the Shen family.

The door was pushed open suddenly, and the accumulated dust on the rhombic window was scattered in the room.

The sunlight shone through the flying dust, creating a beautiful Tyndall effect light pathway.

Although nearly two months have passed, there is still a smell of herbs left in the room, and a thin layer of dust has accumulated on the table before it has time to be cleaned, Gu Cheng touched the thin soil on the table, and looked down at the ground.

In the eyes of the little maid Yunxiu and Mama Wang, this is a heartbroken look.

"Miss, don't be sad, there will be old slaves in the future. Mama Wang said sincerely, and Yun Xiu also nodded in agreement.

"Recently, I helped sort out the dowry in the name of the lady, and handed over the dowry account book to the adult. ”

Mama Wang is the companion room brought by the Shen family from her mother's house, she was originally the nurse of the Shen family, and the Shen family is not in good health, so Mama Wang will help take care of the property under her name.

"Mama Wang, Yunxiu, you go out first, I want to stay alone for a while. Gu Cheng said to her.

The two of them bowed their heads and exited the room.

Gu Cheng moved the small pestle at the end of the bed to the long table of Huanghuali inlaid with golden silk nanmu next to the bed, his fingers touched the table top carved with Ganoderma lucidum patterns, and his fingers pressed the leaves on the left of the pattern, the Ganoderma lucidum on the right, and the dot in the lower right corner of the pattern.

With a "bang", a small dark grid popped up in the table. There was a small purse inside. When he opened his purse, he was stuffed with five silver tickets of one thousand taels and a small gold bar.

The Shen family was born in a wealthy businessman and is the eldest daughter, and the marriage is worth 100,000 taels of silver, not to mention that the Shen family has managed her industry well over the years, and the property under her name does not know how much it is worth.

But Shen has a habit of hiding money, Gu Cheng was very young, and he saw Shen press this table several times, put money inside, or take money in this order.

At the time, I was amazed by the mechanism of this table, but I just thought it was interesting and wrote it down, but I didn't expect it to come in handy.

Gu Cheng stuffed the small purse into his arms, and randomly found an ancient book from the library and put it in the small dark compartment.

He pushed the dark grid back and put the pestle back at the end of the bed.

After doing all this, Gu Cheng only felt his heart pounding, and straightened his crooked cloak.

He rubbed his hands off the table and rubbed his eyes, and his eyes turned red all of a sudden.

opened the door and said to Yunxiu and Mama Wang, who were waiting at the door: "I feel better, let's go back." ”

When Mama Wang and Yun Xiu saw Gu Cheng's eyes red and looked like they had just cried, they couldn't bear it, and comforted: "Miss, don't be sad, Madam knows that she will be sad." ”

"I knew that my mother was gone, and I would not be sad again, and my mother finally said to me that I hope I will be happy in the future. ”

When her mother Shen died, her jewelry and clothes were all buried, and her dowry was managed by her father.

Gu Cheng is not treated by his father and grandmother, who knows what will happen in the future, and getting this money can be regarded as leaving a way back for himself.

As for Mama Wang and Yunxiu, who knows if they will be heartfelt in the future, it is always right not to expose their wealth.

Gu Cheng returned to the house, her house was no longer the heavy smell of charcoal accumulated in winter, and the dust had been cleaned. There was a sense of freshness in the room that had not been seen in a long time.

Gu Cheng had just recovered from a serious illness, and his body was still weak, so he had just tossed again. I went back to the house and lay down on the soft floor, rested for a few hours, and then fell asleep.

After a good night's sleep, Gu Cheng slept until midnight (five o'clock in the morning).

Gu Cheng got up and dressed in linen and filial piety, washed and cleaned up, and went to greet her grandmother. She hadn't seen the old lady for almost a month.

The last time I saw her was when Shen had just passed away. After that, Gu Cheng Shouling fell ill, and he didn't see the old lady until he woke up.

Although he was in better health last week, he didn't have the strength to go and ask the old lady for peace, anyway, there were ten children in the house, and there was no shortage of Gu Cheng.

There is no need for her to reluctantly go to the old lady who doesn't like her without waiting for her to be well.

She was only three years old, and there was no need to keep the vigil for a long time, she kept the vigil until she fainted, which was great filial piety in the eyes of others.

To be honest, she has a general relationship with the Shen family, and the long-term wake-up for the Shen family is to occupy the word "filial piety".

She was born with a younger brother, and her mother died at the age of three, and in the eyes of some people, she was a mother.

But she knows that the country attaches great importance to filial piety, and the emperor is extremely filial to the queen mother, and the queen mother's Shouli Marquis Mansion has spent a lot of thought in recent years.

She kept the spirit for a long time, and whoever didn't say "filial piety" to her would mention her mother's nonsense.

The old lady lived in Songhe Courtyard, and Gu Cheng and the little maid Yunxiu walked through the long verandah.

Turning the corner, I saw a few green and vigorous pine trees, and this led to the front hall of Songhe Temple.

When I walked into the house and saw the house, I saw an old woman about fifty years old wearing a black auspicious cloud pattern wiping her forehead and wearing a dark blue robe on the chair of the first master, who was her grandmother.

At the bottom left sit Mrs. Hou Shizi and Mrs. Dongping. A few children sat at the bottom right, and a few concubines stood on the side.

Gu Cheng's cheap father should have gone to the court, and the eldest uncle Dongping Hou Shizi and the second uncle were not there.

Gu Cheng stepped into the house, walked to the old lady and bowed, "Good morning, grandmother." ”

The old lady looked at Gu Cheng and frowned, a look of disgust flashed in her eyes and said, "Xiao Jiu, are you okay?"

"When I go back to my grandmother, I feel much better, but I still feel a headache. Gu Cheng replied.

The old woman picked up the pastel teacup on the side and said to Gu Cheng: "Your mother is gone, someone will go to the Begonia Courtyard to clean up in a few days, your mother's things are not good to put away the ashes, grandmother will help you put them away, and give it to you when you grow up in the future." ”

"Yes, grandmother. Gu Cheng bowed his head and looked well-behaved.

The old lady took a sip of tea, "It's too messy to clean up in a few days, you can move to the next bamboo cultivation courtyard to live." ”

"Yes, grandmother. Gu Cheng sneered in his heart, this is in a hurry to make room for me, the Bamboo Cultivation Courtyard is more than twice as small as the Begonia Courtyard. It is said that it is a bamboo garden, and there are a few sparse small bamboo seedlings in the yard.

"Xiao Jiu, go sit down, you can eat later." The old lady waved her hand at Gu Cheng, her expression showing a little impatience.

"Grandmother, mother died, Xiao Jiu is lonely. Grandmother, can you help me hire a master and follow her in the study of etiquette? My mother was dying and asked me to study hard. Gu Cheng said.

The old lady looked slightly gloomy when she heard this, she came from a scholarly family, although she was a little declining, but she boasted of having some self-cultivation.

The Shen family was born in a merchant and the color was too prosperous, and the old lady always felt that the Shen family was vulgar.

In order to do what he liked, Shen also spent a lot of money to buy some rare books, and the paintings of the previous dynasty were placed in the house, but he never looked at them. She prefers precious stones, golden hairpins, gold and silver treasures.

Gu Cheng said that if he wanted to read and know etiquette, it could be regarded as the old lady's appetite.

The old lady immediately replied: "I can ask the master to teach you tomorrow, you have to study hard with the master, and don't let your mother down." ”

"Okay grandmother, I'll study well. Mother will be happy. Gu Cheng looked at the old lady with sparkling eyes and said, looking like he wanted to respond to his mother's expectations.

"Well, study hard, go sit down. The old lady said with a smile on her face.

Gu Cheng sat on the seat, his hand raised and touched his chest, and the purse on his chest was still there.

I sighed in my heart that I was lucky to get these coins yesterday, what a wise decision.

Within a few days, someone came to collect things, and the jade ornaments in the house, Huanghuali furniture, paintings from the previous dynasty and rare books were all put away.

Gu Cheng also moved something to live in the bamboo courtyard, although the bamboo courtyard is a little smaller, the environment is quiet, and there is a bit of elegance of "the breeze is just right, and the bamboo shadow enters the painting".

The old lady did not break her promise, and a week later, she invited a female master surnamed Qi to teach Gu Cheng.

In addition to greeting the old lady every day, Gu Cheng followed Qi Fuzi to read and write in the bamboo cultivation courtyard.

The script of the country is slightly different from the modern script, and it is a type of script that is close to the traditional script.

Fortunately, Gu Cheng's Xin'er is an adult, he can sit still, and he learns quickly, which is very popular with Qi Fuzi.

No one came to trouble Gu Cheng, because the old lady was busy showing the steproom to the cheap father.

As for how the two concubines competed with the cheap father, these would not affect Gu Cheng's bamboo cultivation courtyard.

Gu Cheng is also like a sponge, absorbing knowledge and understanding the world.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is the following summer.
