    The New Year is getting closer and closer, and the house is also full of joy. Paper cuttings are posted, red lanterns are hung, and fruits and vegetables are placed in front of the statues.

    Every day when Jin Chao wakes up, he first goes to greet his father, then sits with his mother all morning, talking to several aunts and sisters. In the afternoon, he studies female celebrities, and in the evening, he reads for a while before going to bed.

    In the past few days, my father only visited my mother once, and he left in a hurry.

    Her mother didn¡¯t care much, with a calm expression on her face, but she always remembered that when she was a child, her mother held her in her arms and told her stories about her father.

    At that time, my mother's eyes were smiling, and her young face was shining: " When your father had just passed the Jinshi examination, he came to the Ji family to propose marriage. Your aunts deliberately made things difficult for him and asked him to bring gifts. They were embarrassed.  Her face was red, and she was even more ashamed than the little girl"

    Jin Chao could never imagine what it was like for his serious and rigid father to be so shy when he was a boy.

    It was when she was learning embroidery, she was sitting in the west room, the window was open, the sunlight filtered through the window lattice with begonias carved on it, and shone on the black lacquered huanghuali wood table.  A small bamboo basket was placed on the table, neatly wrapped with various colored silk threads.  Jin Chao stretched out a piece of plain silk to embroider, and she was embroidering a cluster of four-season orchids.

    Liuxiang and Qingpu stood behind her.

    Master Xue looked at her embroidery and marveled: "The eldest lady has made great progress recently, but this kind of pattern is rare."

    Jin Chao smiled and said, "They are just flowers that bloom in the mountains. They are not common in North Zhili, but there are many in the south."

    Master Xue looked at it carefully for a long time and said with a smile: "I think your current embroidery work has the charm of Shu embroidery. The stitches are neat and delicate, and the colors are light and elegant. Look at the edges of the flowers and leaves, they are completely natural."

    Master Xue is good at Su embroidery.

    Jin Chao thought to himself that he still couldn't hide it from Master Xue.

    Shi Ye is from Sichuan and is best at Shu embroidery. Her mother is a famous embroiderer in Sichuan and Shu. She passed on her unique skills to her daughter. She originally wanted her to become an embroiderer, but she was sold to Beizhi.  Li Lai.  The inheritance of Shu embroidery is more rigorous, and its spread is not as wide as that of Su embroidery and Hunan embroidery. It has always been rarer than Su embroidery in Beizhili. It took Jin Chao more than ten years of training to master Shu embroidery.

    However, it turned out that a rough young lady suddenly embroidered exquisite Shu embroidery, which really aroused suspicion. She had paid attention to making the stitches sparser, like the direction of Su embroidery. However, Master Xue is an expert in embroidery after all, and he can spot it at a glance.  There's a clue.

    Jin Chao could only say: "I saw the picture of koi and lotus played by my mother and thought it was very exquisite, so I decided to learn it in private."

    My mother has a screen with a picture of koi carps playing with lotuses. It is a fine piece of Sichuan embroidery. It was given to her by the Dingguo Palace when she got married, and everyone in the family knows about it.

    Master Xue didn¡¯t like Gu Jinchao at first. Gu Jinchao didn¡¯t like to learn these things. She felt that learning female celebrities¡¯ middle feed was the most boring, and he was also cold and indifferent to her. He might not ask her to learn from her once every half month.  Now the eldest lady is much more diligent. After learning this way, Master Xue discovered that Gu Jinchao was extremely talented and could master all kinds of acupuncture techniques. Naturally, he liked it a lot.

    She smiled and said: "The eldest lady is very talented."

    Qingpu sent Master Xue away, Liuxiang helped her put away the needle and thread, and said with a smile: "I can't see any embroidery skills, but the flowers embroidered by the young lady are so beautiful, it seems that you can smell the fragrance."

    Jin Chao just smiled.

    After a while, Mother Tong came. Jin Chao put down the small bag in his hand, asked Liu Xiang to serve tea first, and asked Mother Tong to sit on Jin Chao.

    A few days ago, she asked Mama Tong to inquire about the eldest young master¡¯s hobbies, and she replied that he didn¡¯t have anything in particular that he liked, but he liked to collect calligraphy from famous artists.  I didn't know why I came to see her today.

    Mother Tong took a sip of tea first, looked around and saw no one around, and said, "I have inquired about Miss Liuxiang's instructions."

    ¡°It turns out it¡¯s about the fragranceJin Chao immediately cheered up.

    "Girl Liuxiang was sold into the house by her parents when she was nine years old, and she was given twenty taels of silver. After entering the mansion, she first worked as a little girl for Aunt Du, and within half a year she went to the kitchen in the outer courtyard. When she was fourteen, she was  She was assigned to the waiter, and she came to your place half a year later." Mother Tong said briefly, and then continued, "I also deliberately inquired about other things. When she was in the kitchen in the outer courtyard, she had a bad relationship with several girls. One was named  The girl in Qiuluan told me that Liuxiang was often not on duty and did not blame her. Everyone was a bit repulsive towards her She also said that her hands and feet were not clean. She once took a fifty-year-old ginseng from the kitchen and was punished.  Had a meal."

    When Jin Chao heard this, he frowned: "She is in the house and not sick, so why would she use ginseng?"

      Mother Tong shook her head: "I feel strange too, maybe I got it for someone else."

    Liuxiang once served Aunt Du, but Jin Chao didn't know about it.  However, time was short and she had to hide the truth from others. Mother Tong only made some superficial inquiries, which was of little use.  Jin Chao thought that maybe he should find someone to inquire outside.

    Mother Tong talked about the eldest young master, "I came back this afternoon. The several calligraphy paintings you asked the slave to prepare are ready, one by Mr. Ishida and one by Zhi Zhishanren. They are all mounted in red sandalwood.  Okay, I¡¯ll send it to Jingfangzhai in the afternoon.¡±

    Jin Chao shook his head and said, "No need to send it, I will take it myself."

    Mother Tong should come down.

    Qingpu came in. Her face had become much rosier in the past few days, and she no longer had the sallow and sick look before.  She walked lightly to the window, closed it, and said, "The wind is strong. The lady has not recovered from her illness for a long time, so she can't help but blow the wind."

    Jin Chao glanced at Qing Pu, there was no wind outside the window.

    Mother Tong said about Qingpu: "it's best when Miss Qingpu comes back to serve the young lady. She has served the elder since she was a child, and she is always more considerate than others."

    Jin Chao said for her: "This is natural."

    Mother Tong said goodbye, and Jin Chao talked to Qing Pu again: "I thought the sun was warming me just now, and the breeze doesn't bother me."

    Qingpu hesitated for a moment, then flipped the gilt bracelet on his wrist with his fingers.  She whispered: "Walls have ears."

    ¡°She said someone was eavesdropping outside?

    Jin Chao looked at the gilt bracelet and recognized it as the one that Liu Xiang once wore on her hand. He also remembered that the day Qing Pu came to see her, he was so plain that he didn't even wear a plain silver hairpin.  She said: "I have a pair of white jade bracelets on my dressing table. You can wear them. The gold ones look tacky."

    Qingpu hurriedly said: "That is the lady's thing, how can I want it?"

    Jin Chao remembered that Qingpu had been like this since she was a child. She believed that if something belonged to the lady, it belonged to the lady and no one could steal it.

    She didn¡¯t force her, and secretly wanted to ask Mother Tong to send some suitable jewelry to Qingpu House later.

    The eldest young master was coming back, so he had to see his mother first. Jin Chao thought it would be better for her to wait at her mother's place first, and asked Qing Pu to serve her and change into a snow-green heddle skirt embroidered with branch patterns. She felt that the color was too plain.  He also wore a satin jacket in the colors of crane, deer and spring eggplant.

    I sat down at my mother¡¯s place, and soon I saw Gu Xi and Gu Yi coming.  Aunt Guo and Aunt Du came together, while Aunt Song has been serving her mother.

    Aunt Song helped her mother drink medicine and gave her a salted plum to remove the bitter taste.  He supported his mother and leaned on the big pillow.

    "I haven't seen Brother Rong for more than half a year. I don't know if he has grown taller or not." Ji said with a smile.

    Aunt Du said: "The child looks different every day, and the eldest young master is growing up at the right time. He is not like a bamboo shoot that grows when the wind blows."

    "Gu Jinrong is 12 years old this year.

    Jin Chao pressed her mother's hand and teased her: "My brother is back, please don't love me anymore."

    A faint smile appeared on Ji's beautiful face: "Sure enough, you are still like a child. You and Jinrong are not close, so you still need to move around more"

    Saying that, Pinmei came in: "the eldest young master's carriage is parked outside the house. I went to the master first. I think it will be here in half an hour." Jin Chao could clearly see the joy on the mother's face.  .

    It was said to be half an hour, but actually it didn¡¯t take long.  Jin Chao hadn't even finished a cup of Wanchun Silver Leaf Tea when he heard the girl's announcement. Before Ji could speak, he heard a clear voice.

    "Mother!"

    A tall young man walked quickly from behind the screen. He had a delicate and fair face and was wearing an azurite silk jacket. A shorter bookboy followed behind him, carrying several red lacquered boxes.

    Jin Chao looked at Gu Jinrong walking over and thought that he looked similar to his father, and he was almost as tall as her.

    Mother Xu hurriedly served Gu Jinrong a spoonful. Gu Jinrong walked in a hurry, his face slightly red, but he stood still in front of his mother's bed. He first said hello to his aunts and Jin Chao, and then his two sisters said hello to him.

    It seems that my husband taught me well. Although I haven¡¯t seen my seriously ill mother for more than half a year, I still know how to observe etiquette.

    Gu Jinrong is different from Jin Chao. He grew up in front of his mother and is much more attached to his mother than Jin Chao.

    Jin Chao looked at his eyes but only glanced at her face, and said lightly: "Elder sister is well." He never looked at her again. It seems that the relationship between the two siblings was not good She herself did not remember that she was with him.  What is the relationship between the brothers, but they are definitely estranged.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
