    Early the next morning, Gu Jinrong came to Qingtong Courtyard to pay his respects to Jin Chao.

    This younger brother didn¡¯t come to her place often. Jin Chao first invited him to sit down and drink tea, and then went to prepare the refreshments herself.

    Gu Jinrong said: "Eldest sister, why do you still do this yourself? Just let the girl go."

    Jin Chao smiled and said: "You have been in Qifang Hutong for more than half a year, and you haven't eaten the snacks at home. It's my sister's new one. I'll give it to you when I make it. It won't take long. If you feel too bored, there are some in my study.  There are some books to read.¡±

    " Gu Jinrong was a little stunned for a moment. He didn't know that Jin Chao could make cakes, let alone that she could read.

    He always thought that she was just like the rumors outside, a useless beauty who could do nothing but make the young lady angry.

    But then I thought about it, I might not be able to read the book if it is there, but it does make me look knowledgeable.

    Gu Jinrong stepped into Jin Chao's study and saw her shelves full of books. For a moment, she felt a little pity for these books. She didn't know if the owner appreciated them!

    Liu Xiang was waiting at the side and said: "The eldest lady often reads books. These were just sent from Jizhou a few days ago."

    There is a rosewood desk in the study room, with a blue and white brush washer, a brush mountain, and a pure mud inkstone stand.  There is a imperial concubine's couch by the window. The half-opened window can see the snowy scene in the yard. Next to it stands a white porcelain vase with a few wintersweets in it. The fragrance is quiet.  There are no famous calligraphy and paintings on the wall, but a piece of ink bamboo with the inscription: Several paths are of faint jade color, separated by green smoke at dawn and dusk.  The sound breaks through the cold window dream, and the roots penetrate the green moss pattern.  Gradually the sun is closing in on the threshold, and the clouds are trying to get in the way of the curtain.  If you are not a guest from Shanyin, who would love you?

    This is Shaoling Yelao¡¯s poem!

    The tense and urgent emotions in Gu Jinrong's heart were relieved a lot. This poem made people calm.

    Qingpu was also frightened by the young lady, she actually wanted to wash her hands and make soup!

    Jin Chao said to her while kneading the dough: "It's not a big deal. I came to meet the cook to make it a few days ago, and I think it's not difficult." Her kneading technique was somewhat decent, but her strength was a bit lacking.  Qingpu looked a little relieved.

    Jin Chao thought in his heart that he had had too many comfortable days and his hands had no strength.  I thought that in the small courtyard, she could pick up the large water tank by herself.  I also learned this cooking skill at that time. When people have nothing to do, they always have to find something to do for themselves.  Shiye and Wansu are from Sichuan and Shaanxi. She can cook dishes from both the south and the north, and she does them extremely well.

    Thinking about it, I find it ridiculous that the things I didn¡¯t bother to learn were actually the ones I later learned the most and the best.  The piano skills and calligraphy that she was good at were somewhat neglected.  But we should find more time to practice, and we can¡¯t really waste it

    Qingpu didn¡¯t understand: ¡°Why do you want to make these things with your own hands?¡±

    Jin Chao thought about it for a while. She was originally someone who was too lazy to explain. She felt that if the results of her actions were effective, others would naturally notice.  But if you want to get closer to Qingpu, it's better to let her know more about his behavior.

    ¡°I¡¯m not completely ignorant of what the outside world says.¡± She rolled out the dough thinly and added a layer of fried and crushed black sesame seeds and ground peanuts, as well as a layer of white sugar.  "The eldest young master is studying outside, so he must have heard a lot of these things, and there are always some restless people at home In his heart, I am probably just an arrogant and ignorant legitimate daughter - maybe even worse. If he wants to  Get closer to me, at least let him change his mind about me first."

    Jin Chao didn¡¯t want to pay attention to what outsiders said. She had not suffered enough rumors in her previous life.

    She remembered that Gu Jinrong had visited her once later.  At that time, his father died not long ago. He looked very depressed, but he didn't talk much when he came to see her. Finally, he said: "Sister, I'm sorry for you. It's better for you to have a good life in the Chen family than to go back to the Gu family  " The smile was very numb.

    When he left, he left two thousand taels of silver for himself.

    Jin Chao didn¡¯t understand his situation at the time, but later he found out what Aunt Song and Gu Lan had done.  She thought to herself that at that time, two thousand taels of silver might be all he could afford.  He actually gave it all to her, to his biological sister whom he had always disdained and didn't even want to see.  Maybe it was true that blood was thicker than water, and he still cared about her in the end.

    Thinking of the tall but desolate man whose back was bent, Jin Chao couldn't bear to leave Jin Rong alone.

    Qingpu and Mrs. Li were waiting on the lady to make pastries, and from time to time passed rolling pins, ingredients and other things.

    Jinchao made thousand-feuille puff pastry, with a layer of thin crust alternated with a layer of bean paste, deep-fried in warm oil until golden and crispy, with the surface crumbled, and sprinkled with sesame sugar.  I steamed a plate of Yunzi Sesame Leaf Noodle Fruit Cake, mixed the dough with crushed sesame leaves and glutinous rice, and coated the outside with powdered sugar.  I also made a stack of salty pastries, in the shape of croissant horns, with fresh egg yolk inside and salt and pepper skin.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?It looked fresh and salty, something she had never seen before.

    Jin Chao washed her hands and asked someone to take the things to the study, and she went there afterwards.

    Gu Jinrong did not really read in Jin Chao's study, but sat on the Taishi chair and waited quietly.  After a while, Yutong and Yuzhu came in with plates and placed chopsticks for him. Three plates of snacks were placed on the blue and white porcelain plates. They were steaming and looked very appetizing.

    But Gu Jinrong felt a little uncomfortable, eating in the study He had never done that before.

    Jin Chao came in quickly and said with a smile: "If you don't move your chopsticks, do you dislike my sister's bad skills?"

    She spoke very affectionately, and Gu Jinrong looked up at her.  Jin Chao's clothes were simple, elegant and clean, with only a wooden hairpin with carved magnolia flowers on his watery black hair.  He remembered that every time he saw Jin Chao, she was very pretty and her hair was full of pearls. But now she is dressed so plainly

    "My mother likes this. She is sick and can't eat anything with strong taste. This plate of Yunzi Ma Ye Noodle Fruit Cake is sweet and soft." Jin Chao personally put a piece on his plate.

    Gu Jinrong took a bite and found that it was indeed sweet but not greasy, with a faint fragrance of hemp leaves. Although it was coated with powdered sugar, the sweetness was just right.

    "My eldest sister is really good at making snacks." He also sincerely praised her.

    He had some doubts in his heart. He looked at Gu Jinchao carefully, but she smiled warmly and took some salty cakes for him: "this snack is not common in Yanjing, you can try it."

    Gu Jinrong put down his chopsticks and hesitated for a moment.  "Eating is the next best thing I heard not long ago that the eldest sister asked for someone from the second sister. Is this really the case?" His tone was full of doubt.

    Jin Chao looked up at him, feeling suddenly cold in his heart.  She didn't need to worry about what happened yesterday. After all, he and Gu Lan grew up together, so it was natural for the two of them to get closer.  But she was disappointed that Gu Jinrong was so easily provoked by other people's words!

    It is said that?  Who else could he listen to? Besides Gu Lan, who would tell him such a trivial matter that he wanted a girl.  Presumably in Gu Lan's narrative, she was just the ignorant legitimate daughter who bullied the concubine by taking advantage of her status.  Although Gu Jinrong was still young, it was time for him to be sensible. He would believe whatever Gu Lan said, and he would eagerly come to question her, eager to seek justice for his second sister!

    Although Jin Chao was sullen in his heart, his face was very calm and he replied calmly: "That's true."

    Gu Jinrong thought of the way Gu Lan swallowed his anger, and thought of how she was usually gentle and didn't like fighting with others, but was bullied into this by Jin Chao. He forgot everything for a while, and said in a cold voice: "The second sister, why is the eldest sister?  I want it! Although you are the eldest daughter, there is no reason to bully a concubine like this. If brothers and sisters are not gentle and harmonious, if it spreads, it will lose the face of your father and mother! I think you should also treat people  Give it back to Second Sister, you already have so many girls, why would you want Second Sister¡¯s!¡±

    These words clearly reveal the deep grudge between the two.

    Jin Chao looked at him calmly and said: "Brothers and sisters are gentle and harmonious? Jin Rong said so, have you done it first? I am also your sister, and the eldest sister is like a mother. You are so disrespectful to your sister, why don't you do it?"  Gentle and harmonious? You have read the sages' books in Qifang Academy for so long, and you still don't understand."

    "You said that I asked for someone from your second sister. Have you first asked who this person is, whether it is important to your second sister, and whether she is willing? You came to ask me in such a hurry, but have you thought about it?  But if you take that girl back, where is my face? If you can't take that girl back, where is your own face? You are twelve years old now, you are not young anymore, why do you still act like a child? What comes to mind?  Just do whatever you want!"

    At the last sentence, the voice suddenly turned cold.

    Gu Jinrong was stunned for a moment. He originally thought that if Gu Jinchao didn't care if he came to find her, he could take the girl away immediately.  If she cared, the worst he could do was have a quarrel or a scene. He had been dissatisfied with Gu Jinchao for a long time anyway!

    He never thought that Gu Jinchao's words would press forward step by step, forcing him to be speechless for a moment.

    He didn¡¯t know that Gu Jinchao was so eloquent!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
