    Jin Chao asked Luo Yongping to come over and told him to prepare things for his grandmother: "I want a few pieces of plain satin fabric with solemn colors, which are the best from Qingju Pavilion. There are also several boxes of pine nut rice dumpling candies, amber candies,  Onion candies, and a golden lock of longevity" The third cousin's legitimate son is almost one year old, so it's just a good time to give it to the child as a meeting gift.

    Luo Yongping responded, and the purchased items arrived a day later. They were all packed in red lacquered pear wood boxes, which were very delicate.

    Gu Jinrong was reluctant to go back with her, and told Mr. Ji: "I still have some homework to do. My husband said that I should describe objects and write an article with the same views on the theory of studying objects to achieve knowledge"

    Jin Chao was standing next to him and asked him without raising his head: "Is it eight-legged art?"

    Gu Jinrong pursed his lips tightly and nodded just now.

    Jin Chao then said: "You are only eleven years old, and Mr. Zhou has already asked you to write eight-part essay? Have you read all the four books?"

    " Gu Jinrong was speechless for a moment. This was just an excuse for him. He can't write about eight-legged art now!  Unexpectedly, Gu Jinchao really understood this. When Gu Jinrong stopped talking, Ji sighed secretly.

    Gu Jinrong had no choice but to ask Qing Xiu to help him pack the boxes and cages, and followed Gu Jinchao into another carriage with green curtains to go to Ji's house.

    Sanhe County, Tongzhou, where the Ji family is located, is far away from Shi'an. Jin Chao only brought Qingpu and Caifu with him. His father sent a large group of nursing mothers to follow them. The group arrived at the border of Tongzhou. My grandmother had already  Someone was sent to wait for them on the official road.

    Jin Chao had already written to his grandmother saying that he was coming back. When he saw that even his grandmother¡¯s personal housekeeper was sent here to greet them, Jin Chao could only smile helplessly. His grandmother still doted on her.

    Gu Jinrong seemed to be angry with her. He didn't speak to her all the way. Jin Chao couldn't remember where he offended this little ancestor. He thought that Gu Lan had talked to him a lot in private, so he didn't want to  Ignore him.  She opened the blue threaded muslin curtain and looked out the window. Tongzhou is the northernmost end of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. There are many Baodi shops along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and they are very prosperous.  Sanhe County also has a wide and mighty river, with docks docked next to the pier.

    If you go to the outskirts, you can still see fishermen¡¯s houses with cured fish hanging under the eaves.  The snow is piling up, the farmhouses are decorated with red couplets, and children are running around in the fields. These are all familiar scenes to her.

    Jin Chao¡¯s eyes were filled with tears. After marrying into the Chen family in her previous life, she had never been to Sanhe County again.

    She thought of her grandmother.

    Grandmother has a gentle personality unlike her mother. She is in charge of all matters of the Ji family.

    The Ji family is well-known as a wealthy family in Tongzhou, although there are not many members of the family who serve as officials in the court, and none of them hold high official positions.  However, the Ji family has a business name that connects the south of the Yangtze River and the north of Zhili, and owns many fields and real estate in various counties in Tongzhou.  My grandfather died of a sudden illness when he was young, and my grandmother became a widow and managed the Ji family well.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? As a scholar, a peasant, an industrialist, and a businessman, there is a distinction between superiority and inferiority.  However, a large family like the Ji family still has a great reputation in Yanjing, and officials' families often interact with it.

    In Jin Chao¡¯s eyes, her grandmother was different from other elders. She didn¡¯t like women being detained in boudoirs, and she didn¡¯t require Ji family women to learn female virtues.  She doted on Jin Chao very much. Due to the influence of her grandmother, Jin Chao had always been freer than other women when she was young.

    She could even go to the farm to play with her maid and catch butterflies in the fields.

    When we returned home, her hands were covered with mud. Grandma sat by the lamp, lit up lanterns and read a book. She smiled and asked Mama Song beside her to wipe her hands. She then held her on her knees and taught her how to read. If she recognized a word,  Just reward a piece of mung bean cake.  Jin Chao was naughty and refused to read. Lai was in her grandmother's arms and wanted to tell her what she had done today and who had made her unhappy.

    I got tired while talking and fell asleep in my grandma¡¯s arms.

    "Ms. Cousin, Young Master Cousin, you can come down now." The voice of the accompanying butler came from outside the car.

    Another servant brought a sedan chair over and asked Jin Chao to step out of the car.  Gu Jinchao looked up and saw that this was a courtyard in the inner courtyard of the Ji family, called Qingbi Pavilion. It was full of bamboo forests and had rockeries built with Taihu stones.  They actually went directly through the Weeping Flower Gate to the inner courtyard

    A delicate-looking woman next to her immediately came up to her, took her hand and said with a smile: "Sister Chao has finally arrived. Grandma should be happy now." She was wearing a crimson kesi trousers and a pale red moonlight.  The skirt looks very fresh and tender.  Only then did Jin Chao recognize that it was her third cousin-in-law, Mrs. Liu.

    The third cousin took the Liu family as his wife. The Liu family was from Jiangnan. Her ancestors had produced several Jinshi scholars, and they were also a prominent family.

    Jin Chao saluted and pulled Gu JinrongCome over: "This is the third cousin sister-in-law."

    Gu Jinrong didn't want to talk to anyone, but seeing Mrs. Liu's face smiling and gentle, he reluctantly shouted.

    Jin Chao wanted to sigh, let go of Gu Jinrong's sleeve and ignored him, took Mrs. Liu's hand and walked away talking: "The third cousin actually came to pick us up in person I reckon Brother Chun is almost one year old.  I don¡¯t know if you¡¯ve gained weight, but are you about to have your period?¡±

    Mrs. Liu only got married two years ago and gave birth to her legitimate son within a year. She was also blessed.  He smiled and patted Gu Jinchao's hand: "It's not troublesome. If grandma hadn't been helping you decorate the yard, I might have come here in person. It's also a good time for you to come. Brother Chun will be one year old in two days, and he is now fair and plump.  Very active."

    Jin Chao said: "It's good for boys to be active!" He then said, "Grandma is helping me decorate the yard?"

    Mrs. Liu nodded: "Where you used to live in Qidongpan, my grandmother heard that you were coming a few days ago and asked people to tidy it up. She also asked the gardener to move the four-season crabapples out of the greenhouse. It was decorated with colorful flowers and was very beautiful. I  I am also about to take you to Qidongpan to have a look"

    Jin Chao didn¡¯t know whether to laugh or cry. The crabapples couldn¡¯t bear the cold these four seasons when they bloomed. They were frozen to death within a few days after they were moved out of the greenhouse.

    Qidongpan is close to my grandmother¡¯s residence. The two courtyards are connected by a corridor and are only separated by a small lake.  She had lived in Qidongpan since she was five years old, but she often lived and ate in her grandmother's yard and refused to go back.  She walked outside the yard and found that the locust tree she planted when she was a child was still there.

    After falling leaves, the branches of Sophora japonica are thin and thin, with intertwined branches and strong as copper and iron.

    There were several little girls who had just grown their hair standing at the door, saluting them.  Walking into Qidongpan, the courtyard was busy. A large group of people were surrounding a man wearing a sandalwood satin jacket. A woman wearing a bright red satin dress with gold all over was holding her hand.  .

    Jin Chao couldn't help but have red eyes.

    Grandma¡¯s voice was very calm: ¡°Don¡¯t put flower pots on the verandah. Sister Chao likes to stand there and look at the lake¡±

    "Grandma, Sister Chao is here." The eldest cousin called with a smile.

    Grandma turned her head as Jin Chao remembered. Her upright face looked very serious, even giving off a stern feeling.  Jin Chao seemed to recall the scene in the gloomy Qingming Festival that year, when she knelt alone in front of her grandmother's grave and cried, while the ashes of paper money floated all over the sky.

    My grandmother¡¯s natal family was the Wu family in Yangzhou. My ancestors had a history of transporting salt for several times, and they were very wealthy.

    "Sister Chao!" Grandma walked towards her with a smile on her face and her steps were even a little fast, "Grandma hasn't seen you for half a year, why have you grown taller again" She touched Jin Chao's hair, but  He noticed that her eyes were red and she was silent, so she smiled and asked her, "Why, my sister Chao still looks stupid when she looks at her grandmother. Is she too tired from the journey?"

    Say the same thing as my mother.

    Gu Jinchao took a breath and answered his grandmother with a smile: "I just miss you so much!"

    Gu Jinrong stood behind her and also greeted Ji Wu.  Ji Wu looked at him and nodded: "Brother Rong has grown up so fast! He looks like your father, and his temper is calmer than before." Ji Wu said with a smile, "When you were little, every time you saw me  Everyone will be scared to tears"

    Gu Jinrong smiled, of course he didn't remember these things.

    Mrs. Ji Wu called the woman over again. She was in her thirties. With a bright smile on her face, she took Gu Jinchao's hand: "Our sister Chao is getting more and more beautiful as she grows older!" She is the eldest aunt, the mother's only direct relative.  The brother's wife's natal family is the Anxiang Song family, a famous tea rich family.

    Ji Wu is already over sixty this year, but she is still in good health and walks smoothly.  If someone meets her for the first time, they will definitely think that she is a very strict person. In fact, my grandmother is very loving towards her children.  Jin Chao held her hand. When her grandmother first took charge of the Ji family in her early years, she did everything herself and often went to the farm. Her hands were very rough, but they made her feel particularly at ease.

    Ji Wu ordered the housekeeper on the side to prepare Jin Chao's favorite dish: " steam the four-gill bass that the second master brought back from Suzhou last time, and then take the yellow sprouts from the cellar and make vinegar-based yellow sprouts. And also  There are braised rabbit heads, winter bamboo shoots and ham, grilled clams, roasted venison" She lowered her head and thought carefully, then added, "Add a plate of snow lotus and stewed squab."

    Jin Chao hurriedly took her hand: "Grandma, it's too much!" Just the four-gill bass was enough to worry about.

    Ji Wu smiled and said, "It's rare for you to come here! These are all things you like to eat." Then he turned to Jin Rong and asked, "You still don't know what our brother Rong likes to eat? Your sister likes to eat steamed four-gill seabass, and my second uncle likes to eat."  Every time I go to Suzhou I always bring some back."

    "I don't have any particular preference" Gu Jinrong said, but there was a slight movement in his heart. He also liked to eat seabass

    Ji Wu took Jin Chao to see Qidongpan first. It was still the same layout as she originally lived here, except that some more green-glazed vases were added, and many wintersweets were put in. Begonias were also planted all over the yard, and clusters of light red flowers were planted.  The flowers are very beautiful and eye-catching against the snow.  A black lacquered beauty couch was added to the inner room, covered with cushions made of blue satin, and tassels were woven with gold threads.

    Jin Chao looked at these in silence for a moment.  She remembered that someone had asked her later if she hated her grandmother.

    If her grandmother hadn¡¯t raised her so lovingly and didn¡¯t think about her future, how could she have the same temperament she did later?  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)The layout of Panpan is still the same as when she lived here before, but with the addition of more green-glazed vases and a lot of wintersweets.
