The New Year passed very quickly. Shi'an had several consecutive days of fun. Relatives and friends went out together, and there were activities such as touqiong and kuai, fighting nine cards, playing sticks and playing football, singing and talking about comments, etc. My father and his colleagues, Zhan Shi Mr. Zhan Shimu, the young master of the mansion, and Mr. Zhou, the young minister of Xingtaipu Temple, went out to play. The female relatives went to familiar relatives. The Gu family was in Sili Hutong, close to the Song family and Yongyang uncle's family who were offering wine to Lord Song in the Imperial College.
Mother has made good friends with Uncle Yongyang¡¯s wife, and Mrs. Yongyang also made a special trip to see her. When her mother was seriously ill and unable to go out, Aunt Song took Gu Jinchao and Gu Lan to the Fan family of Duke Dingguo in Luoxian Hutong. The Fan family was the natal family of my father's biological mother and aunt. They used to take care of their father, and the two families were very close.
On the eighth day of the lunar month, it¡¯s time to look back at our ancestral home.
When he went back this time, his father wanted to take Jin Chao and the other four back, so he told the four of them to prepare well in advance. He also asked the steward to prepare golden beans, pearls and jade hairpins, cakes and fruits, cured goose with sauce, etc. as rewards for the children. Things, the last time I looked back at my family's home was three years ago. My father and grandmother were not having a happy quarrel, so I asked the steward to prepare a set of cloud satin trousers with eggplant color, fortune, longevity and happiness patterns.
When Jin Chao came to greet his father, he saw this suit and said to him: "The eggplant color does not match the pattern. Grandma likes to worship Buddha. It is better to use agarwood pigmented satin, which will also look more solemn. In addition, add two strings of strange nanmu Buddhist beads. Please Go to Daiguo Temple for consecration.¡±
"My father looked at Jin Chao strangely for a moment. Even he didn't know that his grandmother was worshiping Buddha.
Jin Chao then said: "When I went there last time, I saw my grandmother holding Buddhist beads in her hands and hiding them under her sleeves."
Her father nodded and praised her: "You were only twelve years old last time. It's hard to remember." He ordered the steward to do as Jin Chao said.
Jin Chao naturally would not tell her father that she had had too much contact with her grandmother in her previous life. At that time, she married into the Chen family, which was very prosperous. The Gu family's ancestors were all trying to fawn over her, and her grandmother gave her many things.
Aunt Song was also watching and said with a smile: "I didn't know our sister Chao was so thoughtful!"
Jin Chao didn't say anything, but his father said: "She is also smart, just like her mother."
Aunt Song stopped talking and Jin Chao stepped back with a smile.
When she arrived at Xiexiao Garden, her mother asked her if she had prepared anything. Naturally, Jin Chao did not need to prepare anything. She is a junior, and the most she can prepare is golden beans and silver nuggets for her younger brothers and sisters, but she still has to accept gifts from others! Mother was worried, so Gu Lan took the gold bun she had made for Jin Chao. After thinking about it, she asked Mother Xu to open the warehouse to look for the dowry, and found for her a gold hairpin with a baby lotus pattern embedded with rubies and sapphires. A gold hairpin with a phoenix and cloud pattern inlaid with yellow tourmaline, a gilt butterfly love flower, and a pair of black jade bracelets. She also asked the girl Mo Xue to accompany her.
Jin Chao looked at the eighteen rubies and sapphires inlaid on the gold hairpin and couldn't laugh or cry. She finally understood why she had so many luxurious gold ornaments. Her mother was also deeply influenced by her grandmother and wished she could give her the most expensive and best things. But she wouldn't go out wearing these, it would be too ostentatious.
On the eighth day of the lunar month, Jin Chao wore a water-green skirt with stitching and a crescent-white satin jacket. She felt it was too plain, so she added an apricot-yellow belt, and the accompanying sachet was an azure color. I thought it was almost done, so I took Qingpu and Mo Xue to the carriage with green curtains and canopy.
After his father separated from the Gu family, he settled in Shi'an. The Gu family's ancestors were in Shuntian Prefecture with them, but they were not in Shi'an, but in Daxing County, at the foot of the emperor. The carriage with green curtains and canopies drove on the road for an hour and arrived. It was not too far. This was also the road that my father passed during his morning pilgrimage.
Jin Chao opened the curtain and took a look. They were all official roads. All businesses along the way were prosperous, and there were many shops and restaurants. It was a lively time. When walking to the downtown area, you could see the flow of people. People all over the street had shouting heads, which looked very festive.
After passing the busy city, you will arrive at Taohuawu. If you don¡¯t turn around and go straight, you will reach the Imperial Palace
Jin Chao lowered the curtain.
The carriage did not stop until it reached the hanging flower gate of the ancestral home. Several women were already waiting for them, holding small oil trucks with green curtains used for transportation in the inner courtyard. The leading woman saluted her father and said, "Fourth Master, please follow this slave. The lady is waiting for you."
The father nodded and asked the steward who was following him to give each woman a small bag of silver nuggets.
Jin Chao changed to a small oil truck and began to recall things about his ancestral home. Her father ranked sixth, but there were only two direct brothers and one brother-in-law, so he was called the fourth master. However, she remembered that the eldest and third masters of the Gu family died young. The current head of the Gu family should be the second master Gu, who was then the rightful master. Qian Du Yushi.
The Gu family has been scholarly for generations, and basically every generation has a Jinshi, so it has been honored for hundreds of years. There is only one house owned by the ancestral family in the entire Taohuawu. Compared with the ancestral home, the Gu family, where the father lives alone, is far inferior.
? ?The car stopped and Jin Chao was helped out by Qing Pu. Looking up, there are tall pink walls on both sides, and at the end of the green brick path is a small courtyard. Although it is severe winter, you can see bamboos surrounding it, making a soft rustling sound. The lintel is blocked by the branches of Begonia, but the word "Yanxiu" can still be seen. There is a rockery next to it, with layers of snow on it, but there are koi carps swimming in the pool below. There is a hot spring underground
The mother-in-law led a group of them into the door. Beside the door stood four girls wearing emerald green branch-patterned coats and skirts, saluting them. After passing through the hall, they reached the banquet area. Before entering the door, I heard a crisp laughter, the sound was like an oriole coming out of the valley.
"Grandma, you said you were going to reward me with this box of bone-in abalone snails, but you have to count"
The mother-in-law stood outside the door and said: "Madam, the third master is here."
After a while, the old woman's steady voice came from inside: "Please come in quickly."
Across the eight-door Bainiaochun rosewood screen inlaid with white jade, Jin Chao saw a lacquered nut Arhat bed placed in the clinic, and an old woman in her sixties wearing a dark red Baji pattern leather silk jacket sat on it. On top of it, he also wears a golden hairpin with lotus and Buddha characters on his head. He has a kind-hearted appearance and a smile on his face.
Jin Chao recognized it, this was her grandmother Feng. Jin Chao and others first paid their respects to Feng, and Feng gave the four of them a meeting gift.
Those sitting around her were all female relatives, and there was also a girl in her 14s and 15s who was holding her hand and acting coquettishly.
My father was unhappy when he saw it.
Feng said: "Duanxiu, please take the fourth master's young lady, aunt and others to the east room to sit down, eat some pastries and rest."
He left his father alone, and it seemed that he wanted to have some private words with him first. Jin Chao glanced at the gift box held by the steward and thought there should be nothing wrong with it.
The person who accepted the promise was a lady with a peony bun, wearing a bright red Ruyi pattern woven flower jacket, with slender phoenix eyes and delicate complexion. She was Mrs. Gu. She took them to the East Room to rest, then took Aunt Song's hand and said, "I haven't seen my sister before. She must be the legitimate daughter of Shaoqing Taichang Temple, right?"
¡°I didn¡¯t say she was my aunt, she looked like a human spirit.
Aunt Song then smiled and said: "Exactly, if I'm not wrong, you are the second wife. She is indeed beautiful and dignified. I would also like to introduce to you, this is the eldest daughter of our fourth master, Sister Chao." Listen. When she talked about herself, Jin saluted the second lady.
The second lady looked at her quite surprised, but she quickly recovered her smile and gave her a brocade box.
Aunt Song said again: "This is the second daughter, Sister Lan." The second lady looked at Sister Lan very kindly, praised her a few times and gave her a gift.
Gu Lan was always lovable in front of his elders, Jin Chao thought to himself that no one else could learn this skill.
Introduced Gu Xi and Gu Yi, and the second lady also introduced her eldest daughter Gu Jinhua to them. She has been married for several years and came back to visit her relatives. According to the rules of taking care of the family, the names of the eldest daughter follow the line of the family, because the name has the word "jin" in it. When Gu Jinhua saw Gu Jinchao, he was kinder than Sister Lan, pulled her to talk, and gave her to her affectionately. She has a pair of white jade moir¨¦ earrings.
The person who just held Feng's hand and acted coquettishly was the Second Lady's second daughter Gu Lian. She was fourteen years old and a pretty little beauty. However, she looked like she was spoiled by everyone. She just said yes and continued to pull her. He was telling jokes to the little girl next to him.
Aunt Song will definitely not say that Gu Lian has no rules. She only praises her with a smile: "Sister Lian has a lively and lively temperament, unlike Sister Lan, who is very restrained by my discipline."
Gu Lan also said: "I think Sister Lian likes it very much too!"
The second lady had a smile on her face, and she liked Gu Lan even more. He also introduced them to the two concubines of Mr. Gu Wu and the concubines of Gu Jinhua's husband's family. Jin Chao gave them both a bag of golden beans.
"The fifth lady is over there on the stage. We will all go to the theater later and then I will introduce her to you." The second lady said to Aunt Song.
The fifth master of the Gu family was born with the same Jinshi, but because of his relationship with the fifth wife, he also took the post of commander of the guards. Aunt Song seemed to have heard the name of the fifth lady, so she whispered: "Is she the legitimate daughter of the Changxing Hou family"
The second lady nodded lightly.
Aunt Song looked cautious. Generally speaking, when a woman marries into her husband's family, her husband's family will be more expensive, but the opposite is true for the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Changxing. Gu Wuye is just a concubine, and he takes the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Changxing. Finished the fourth grade job!
In recent years, the Marquis of Changxing has campaigned east and west on behalf of the emperor, put down many rebellions, and achieved great military success. The emperor favored him, and even his wife was given the imperial title of the second rank. Compared with the Marquis of Changxing, the Gu family's ancestral family was far inferior. The second master Gu's appearance in the Golden Palace could only show his face at most, but the Marquis of Changxing could enter directly. In the palace, there is a horse-riding and shooting game with the emperor. Among the military officials, Changxing Hou was the leader, and his scenery was endless.
