    The north wind blew broken snow swirling in the air, and frost formed on the green bricks.  In the yard, two women wearing blue cotton robes were spreading out mats to collect snow.

    Seeing Bai Yun coming back, the fat lady stopped what she was doing, raised her head and smiled at her: "Girl is back, the snow and wind are so heavy, it's a hard trip!"

    Bai Yun is a second-class maid, and these low-class women have to be careful to please her.  She was superior in her heart, but she said humbly: "It's just that the lady asked me to go there, it's nothing important. What are you doing with this snow?"

    Mrs. Li hurriedly said: "My lady asked me to collect more snow water and store it in a clay pot for use"

    Bai Yun's voice suddenly softened: "Miss, are you awake?"

    Mrs. Li said: "Not long after I woke up, I was reading by the window."

    Bai Yun then cautiously went to the door. She rubbed her hands together and saw that her hot breath turned white.  Opening the curtain and walking into the room, I immediately felt warm all over.  There is a charcoal fire burning in the charcoal pot, and there is a screen on the right next to the door. It is a gorgeous and exquisite bird brocade screen inlaid with white jade and jade.  There is a cloisonn¨¦ plum vase placed against it, with a few half-opened plum blossoms inserted in it.

    There is a small table made of chicken wing wood on the big kang near the window, with an auspicious animal incense burner placed on it. The young lady is leaning on a large pillow embroidered with golden auspicious cloud patterns, holding a book in her hand, her knuckles resting on the edge of the bed, and her body covered with hair.  Wearing a fluffy mink cloak, her hair was not decorated at all, and her silky green hair fell on the navy blue satin of the mink cloak, with a lazy expression.  And Cai Fu stood aside and waited.

    Seeing her coming in, Jin Chao slowly raised his head: "Have you gone to inquire about it?"

    Bai Yun nodded, took a step closer and whispered: "The kitchen manager told me that Miss Qingpu was asked to go by the second lady the year before last, and he should be on duty in her small kitchen. Miss, why did you suddenly think of asking her?  "Didn't Qingpu steal one of your jade-gold hairpins and leave it in the kitchen?"

    Jin Chao looked at her lightly and continued to lower his head to read his book.  "You can ask more questions about my affairs. It's getting more and more unruly. Go help Mrs. Li and Mrs. Chang put away the snow."

    Bai Yun's heart suddenly tightened, knowing that she had said the wrong thing. What the young lady did, she was so talkative.

    Bai Yun looked a little uneasy. It was snowing heavily outside and the weather was cold. If she went to collect snow water, her delicate hands would definitely get frostbite. However, she could not disobey the young lady. She said yes before exiting the room.

    Jin Chao raised his head and asked Caifu, who was standing silently aside, "Where is Liuxiang? I haven't seen her for any reason."

    Caifu said: "Didn't you send her to deliver a box of pine nut rice dumpling candies to the fourth lady? Maybe the road was slippery because of the snow, so she was delayed on the way. Miss, you are very cold sitting by the window, and your body is not fully recovered yet."  , it¡¯s better to go back to bed and lie down first"

    Jin Chao waved his hand: "Go and pour out the incense. If it is not necessary, don't burn incense in the house."

    The fragrance was so sweet that she felt dizzy.

    Caifu said yes, holding the incense burner to pour out the ashes.  After she opened the curtain and walked out, Jin Chaocai put down the book in his hand and looked at the furnishings in his room.  Next to it is a mahogany bed carved with magnolias, unicorns and auspicious clouds. There is a silk curtain with entwining lotus patterns. Behind the four sash fans on the left hand side, you can see a golden nanmu table. There are two red lacquered chairs near the window. On the high table  There is also an evergreen pine bonsai.

    Jin Chao closed his eyes.

    ¡°When she woke up last night, she saw such a luxurious scene, but she still hasn¡¯t gotten used to it.  It's not that the scene is unfamiliar, on the contrary, this is the place she is most familiar with. This is Qingtong Courtyard, the Gu family's residence when she was not married.  But when she was seriously ill, her father had already given this place to a newly raised aunt.

    And the maid Bai Yun was reprimanded by the old lady for making a mistake not long after she married into the Chen family.

    Caifu did not go to the Chen family with her. Finally, when she got older, her father gave her to a Gu family shopkeeper as a concubine.

    It¡¯s just that everything I see now is still intact.

    Jin Chao was really tired after reading for a while. Before Cai Fu came back, he helped the tall boy next to him to put on his satin shoes and stand up.

    Caifu said that she occasionally felt cold and had been sick for several days.

    Jin Chao remembered this. Her mother got seriously ill when she was fifteen and died half a year later.  When her mother was seriously ill, she also heard that Chen Xuanqing was going to a flower viewing party at the Duke's Mansion with several other young masters from the distinguished family, and she couldn't wait to pack up to meet him.

    It¡¯s a pity that there was too much snow and wind that day, so the plum blossoms didn¡¯t bloom well.  She and Liuxiang waited for Ji Jiu together, but neither saw Chen Xuanqing coming.  After coming back, I fell ill and did not go to see my mother for four or five days.Thinking of this, Jin Chao couldn't help but tighten his palms.  I used to be really ridiculous. My mother was seriously ill, and I still wanted to see my sweetheart. But I didn't know that in four or five months, my mother would pass away due to serious illness.

    Jin Chao sat in front of the makeup mirror and looked at the girl in the mirror in confusion.  This mirror was brought back from Jiangsu by my third uncle, a merchant. It has extremely delicate carvings of peonies, birds and animals around the edges.  Her grandmother gave it to her.

    The girl in the mirror has black hair that reaches her waist, a face as fair as jade, a pair of emerald autumn eyes that seem to be full of water, and lips as delicate as new peaches.

    There are many kinds of beauty, some are as weak as willows, and some are as noble as orchids.  However, Gu Jinchao was as charming and charming as Begonia.

    Although this appearance is beautiful, it just looks like a vase with ornaments on it.

    Although Jin Chao had asked a teacher to read through the enlightenment books when he was with his grandmother, the Four Books were also involved.  She reads more than the average noble lady, but she doesn't look smart, but too bright.

    When Jin Chao was a girl, she cherished her appearance very much, but later she became more and more tired of it.  She felt that she acted too openly, and later she even disliked her appearance. She wished she could sit in the corner without anyone noticing.

    Gu Jinchao touched his face, very confused.  She didn't understand why she returned to the Gu family again, and why she looked like she did when she was fifteen or sixteen.

    Is this just a dream?  After waking up from the dream, was she still the third lady waiting for death in the Chen family?

    It has been two days since she woke up. During these two days, she was groggy and lacked energy.  I just felt like someone was talking in my ear, but I couldn't hear clearly what was said.  I felt better in the first half of the day, so I forced myself to talk to Caifu and others.  Only then did he learn that he had been ill for many days.  And everything around here is too real and clear, and it doesn't seem like a dream.

    Or maybe God missed her life and wanted her to come back to see her again?

    Jin Chao was a little moved. She walked to the long huanghuali wood table dedicated to Guanyin, knelt on the futon embroidered with gold branches and prayed sincerely: "If the Bodhisattva really has mercy on me, let me stay longer, at least I can see him."  Meet my mother and brothers"

    There was no such thing in her room. Her mother had been seriously ill for a long time, and Jin Chao was so anxious that she enshrined Guanyin Bodhisattva in her room. She prayed for her mother in the morning and evening. If she was free, she would also write handwritten Buddhist scriptures and burn them to the Bodhisattva.

    Caifu quickly came in with the incense burner in his arms. He saw the young lady kneeling in front of the Bodhisattva and was about to get up. He hurriedly came to help her.

    Jin Chao glanced at her. There was snow on her hair and shoulders. She must have been standing in the snow for a long time, so how could she stand in the snow for a long time.

    "Have the ashes been poured out?"

    Caifu said: "It fell in the flower pot planted with holly. I heard that incense ashes can grow flowers."

    Jin Chao looked through the fan and saw Bai Yun standing in the snow. The snow was still falling heavily, and the two women were gathering up the table.  She didn't point it out that Bai Yun was a gossipy girl. She used to dote on her, but when she arrived at the Chen family, she got into trouble because of her private conversations with the girl, which almost caused her own disaster.  This character really needs to be managed.

    Caifu took the mink cloak and put it on the young lady. He heard the young lady ask softly: "What did you say about me?"

    Caifu tightened her hands and saw that the young lady's face was as calm as water.  But she didn't know why she felt a little cold in her heart, and she quickly smiled and said: "Miss, you are overthinking. I just told Sister Baiyun how to store the snow water."

    Jin Chao hummed: "Then tell me how it should be stored."

    Caifu said: "Seal it in a jar. It is best to place it underground, even in the shade of vegetation. Otherwise, the snow water will lose its spirituality and become useless."

    Jin Chao looked straight at Cai Fu. This girl is smarter than Bai Yun. Why didn't she notice it before?

    She knew in her heart that she used to act recklessly and impulsively, and had a bad temper. She would punish and scold her maids if she didn't go her way. Few of her maids were loyal to her.  It was more because she was afraid that she would suddenly become angry and beat the person half to death.

    ¡°Isn¡¯t that what Qingpu is like? The young lady brought back a maid from her grandmother Ji¡¯s house, but she raised eyebrows about Chen Xuanqing. The young lady didn¡¯t like her, so she sent her to the inner courtyard to do chores in the kitchen.

    Jin Chao did not continue to ask.  He closed his fingers around the straps of the cloak and saw that his hands were long and white, with slender roots.  "Change my clothes and let's go to mother's place." Jin Chao ordered Caifu.  I wonder how my mother is doing now?  She hadn't gone to see her after being sick for so many days, and she also wanted to see Aunt Song.  Thinking of this person, Jin Chao's heart tightened.  If it weren't for Aunt Song, she and her mother wouldn't be in the situation they were in later.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
