    When it comes to buying things for Ji Can, Jin Chao naturally has nothing to add.  Just to join in the fun.

    By tomorrow, the gilded wedding invitations are being sent out one after another.  The Ji family started the final preparations again.  When it was snowing lightly, the house was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, paper-cuts were pasted on the fan and windows, red gauze lanterns were hung everywhere, and the servants all changed into crimson robes or cotton robes.

    Jin Chao helped Ji Wu to seal the red paper, and wrapped it in red paper with silver nuggets or 10-tael silver notes, which were used to reward respectable maids or children who came to pay their respects.  Many old relatives of the Ji family have come from Baoding these days, as well as the Shangli family in Yanjing who have good relations with the Ji family, and colleagues of the first and second masters of the Ji family.  There were a lot of guests and it was very lively.  You need to prepare some red seals.

    The day before the wedding, Ji Can and his party changed their clothes, and the servants used big red and gold lacquer makeup boxes to carry pigs and sheep to Chen's house in Wanping for makeup.  Ji Can was very awkward, but Ji Yun and An Songhuai teamed up to get him on the horse.

    And the Ji family began to set up a tent, test the stove, and entertain the relatives and friends who came to congratulate them.

    Gu Dezhao came over at this time, bringing a gift of five hundred taels of silver, a red coral bonsai, and a pair of mutton-fat jades.  After greeting him at the business end, he spoke to the uncle of the Ji family, and then came to pay homage to Mr. Ji Wu.

    When Ji Wu saw him, she thought of Ji's death, so naturally she didn't feel good about it.

    Gu Dezhao's expression was stern. Because he was observing the rules, he only wore a brown t-shirt to show off.  Seeing that Jin Chao was also talking to Mrs. Liu and didn't pay much attention to him, it was inevitable to feel lonely.

    In the end, the boy came over and called him, saying that the uncle invited him over to have a drink.  He stood up to say goodbye, and then said to Gu Jinchao: "After having a drink, you don't have to be in a hurry to come backbut you have to do it before the twelfth lunar month." He paused again, "Honest your grandmother well!"

    Gu Jinchao said goodbye to him, "You can go and have a bar with uncle, just to help." Many of the guests and friends were either rich or noble, so the Ji family had to be cautious, but there were not many men in the Ji family. Ji Can and Ji Yun  I even went to apply makeup.  Now the uncle of the Ji family and Ji Yao are entertaining them in the outer courtyard.

    As soon as Gu Dezhao left Dongkuayuan, Mrs. Xu came over with Xu Jingyi.

    Mrs. Ji Wu asked the girl to come over with a spoon, and took Mrs. Xu's hand to talk with great enthusiasm.  "I was just thinking about when you would come! Let's have a banquet here soon so we don't have to go to the West Cross Courtyard to be crowded." Mrs. Xu also smiled, but she couldn't hide her sadness.  Ji Wu glanced at Xu Jingyi again, but her eyes were red, as if she had cried.

    Ji Wu's voice was lowered: "Sister Yi, what is this?"

    Mrs. Xu sighed, feeling it was hard to say it out loud: "It's not because of Sister Yi's marriage I heard that the legitimate son of the Luo family was a miscreant, and all the girls in the room were open-minded This counts.  Yesterday, when his carriage was driving on Qingfengfang Road, there was a man in front of him who blocked his carriage and did not have time to give way. Then the Luo family's heiress rushed out of the carriage and whipped the man, killing half of his life"

    Gu Jinchao raised his head when he heard thisit turned out that the Xu family knew about these things about the Luo family.

    If you know that you still marry your daughter, it is clear that it is no longer there

    Xu Jingyi was sitting next to her, tears could not help falling, but there was no sound at all.  She herself felt rude and turned around to wipe her tears with a handkerchief.

    Mrs. Ji Wu knew what kind of person this legitimate son of the Luo family was, and she felt a little helpless: "If their family is like that, it is always crooked, and the seedlings that grow cannot be straight If I listen to my words, I will marry  No one can marry someone from the Luo family!"

    Mrs. Xu couldn't stop crying: "There is nothing we can do. If Sister Yi doesn't get married, she will have to stay at home as an old aunt. She doesn't have a biological brother. Who will support her when I get old Sister  "You don't know, there are rumors everywhere that our sister Yi has a bad temper, so she can't find her husband's family. I went to talk to Mrs. Luo, she acted like her family was at a disadvantage"

    The bad thing is that Mrs. Xu didn¡¯t give birth to a son, and Xu Jingyi couldn¡¯t even think about staying unmarried for the rest of her life.

    Mrs. Xu wiped her tears when she said this, and said with a smile: "This is a happy day for my sister's family, why did I talk about this!"

    Ji Wu was a little helpless and said to Jin Chao, "Why don't you accompany Sister Yi for a walk outside, and I'll have a few words with Mrs. Xu."

    Jin Chao was also about to go out for a walk. Xikuoyuan was busy at that time. When the day of the welcome came, she couldn't go there.  He took Xu Jingyi's hand and said with a smile: "Sister Yi, why don't you follow me to Xikuoyuan? There is a shed set up there. We can go well and catch some food."

    Xu Jingyi nodded and smiled at Jin Chao and thanked her in a low voice.

     She has a fair face. Although her facial features are not pretty, her smile is still very gentle.

    Jin Chao had never seen her smile in his previous life.

    The two of them took the girl to Xikuoyuan, and it was time for the banquet.  The second aunt came to invite them to sit in the flower hall and brought them sticky walnuts and peanuts.  Xu Jingyi looked at the scene of people coming and going outside, feeling a little lost.

    The second aunt smiled and said to them: "Today we are making bird's nest mats, which come in two flavors. The salty ones are stewed with shredded ham, bamboo shoots, and chicken juice. The sweet ones are stewed with rock sugar or steamed.  Pigeon eggs are among them. If you want to eat them, I will ask someone to bring them over"

    Some guests come a few days in advance, and the dishes they eat may be different every day.  However, it is quite rare for someone like the Ji family to be so generous and directly make so many bird's nest mats.

    Second aunt went to ask someone to bring two bowls of sweet bird's nests.

    Xu Jingyi praised this bowl of bird's nest as being extremely well-made, tender and smooth in the mouth, sweet but not greasy.

    But Gu Jinchao looked outside the flower hall. Her uncle was chatting with someone. The person looked familiar. She should recognize him, but she couldn't remember it for a while.  It seems that the uncle is very respectful to this person, but the man is dressed like a guard No matter how bad the uncle is, he still has the official position of Tongzhi, how can he be so respectful to a guard?

    Gu Jinchao then asked his second aunt, who said: "it's someone from the Chen family. He seems to be the bodyguard of Mr. Chen Ge. The seventh-rank officials in front of the prime minister's door cannot be offended by these people."

    After saying a few words, the uncle's expression became cautious.  I asked my second uncle to come over again, and they went to the front yard together.

    Someone special should be coming over.

    But the second aunt held Jin Chao's hand and said with a smile: "Why don't I take you to see your fourth cousin's new house It's boring to sit here all the time. Why don't Miss Xu family go and see it too?"

    Xu Jingyi smiled and shook her head. It was not appropriate for her to go. She could just sit here for a while.

    Gu Jinchao hasn¡¯t visited Ji Can¡¯s new house yet.  I only heard my grandmother say that the arrangement was very good.  Leaving her mother-in-law here with Xu Jingyi, she followed her second aunt to see Ji Can's new house.

    Ji Can¡¯s new house is right next to the uncle of the Ji family. It is a courtyard with three rooms and seven shelves. Just past the corridor is the uncle¡¯s yard.  In this courtyard, the window sash and pillars were repainted with black paint, hangings were installed, and the sash fans were also replaced.  A blooming wintersweet was planted outside the window.  The girl and mother-in-law were busy in the yard, decorating lanterns with red happy characters on them.

    Jin Chao followed his second aunt to look at the East Room, which was newly renovated and equipped with a wooden bed made of lacquered nuts and thousands of workmanship. The bed curtains were decorated with bright red four-happiness patterns, and there were gilt lotus flowers hanging and a five-legged silver incense burner.  In the west room, the big kang is covered with a emerald blue satin mattress with four-season flowers, two east slope chairs, and various vases and bonsais are placed on the Duobao Pavilion.

    "This is the aunt of the Chen family, who came here to help decorate it." The second aunt pointed to a woman wearing a purple satin armor, and the woman saluted Jin Chao.

    This woman is wearing a red gold bracelet with a bamboo pattern on her hand, and her conversation is unusual. She should be the wet nurse or the housekeeper of the second young lady of the Chen family.  I came here to help decorate the new house, usually placing things according to the habits of my lady at her parents' house, so as not to inconvenience living here.

    The woman happened to have something to say to her second aunt, so she took her aside.

    Jin Chao took Qing Pu out of the main hall. It started to snow again outside, and a layer of fluffy snow fell on the flowers and trees outside the verandah.  Qingpu handed the heater in his hand to Jin Chao and looked worried at the light snow falling outside: "It looks like it's going to snow heavily"

    Jin Chao shook his head: "It's better not to use the hand stove. There should be a fire burning in the west end room. Just go inside and take a look and get warm." The west end room is the study room, and Ji Can's habit is to go inside in the study room in winter.  It is always warm and he likes to read idle books.  Several books on epigraphy and stone appreciation in Jin Dynasty were obtained from him.

    Jin Chao stepped into the study room, and the stove was indeed lit inside.  There is a book table, several Duobao pavilions filled with books, and a long table next to the window, with an incense burner and a cloisonn¨¦ vase.  There is also a painting hanging on the wall, which shows mountains and rivers flowing eastward.  Very atmospheric.

    "This painting looks great to me. I never thought that in addition to the third cousin who can paint, the fourth cousin's paintings are also so good." Qingpu talked to Jinchao.

    Jin Chao laughed, "It's not like what my fourth cousin painted. It's okay for him to read, but it's a headache for him to write!"

    She still remembered that Ji Can's former teacher was an old scholar who retired from the Hanlin Academy. He taught several scholars in his life. He once said that Ji Can was "more than smart but not diligent enough."  Useless.  The writing is average, and the drawing is even more mediocre.

    Jin Chao glanced at the inscription next to it, 'See all the mountains and small mountains at a glance'.  It uses the Taige style commonly used by scholars, which is neat, powerful and grand.  It can't be achieved after decades of practice.  He must have requested the painting from some old scholar.

    After looking at it, Jin Chao said softly: "Although the painting is grand, this kind of spirit of 'being at the top of the mountain and seeing all the small mountains' seems too vain if placed on ordinary scholars I think it's better than  The ink bamboo painting is elegant."

    After she said this, she heard a slight cough from behind her, which seemed to be a man's voice.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)?Powerful and atmospheric.  It can't be achieved after decades of practice.  He must have requested the painting from some old scholar.
