Clam Pearl

But he said that Gu Zhao stayed at the house of his second brother Gu Shan in Kunyiguan for many days, and his elder brother and his second brother had quite a lot of social activities on weekdays, knowing that he was impatient with socializing, he didn't bother him, and just let him have fun. If there is anything good, it is necessary to find him to make him happy.

Therefore, Gu Zhao often ran to his sister-in-law Pei's place every day when he had nothing to do, so he came and went to get acquainted with the women at home.The sons and daughters of the younger generation all got more than ten pairs of satin shoes for their filial piety.

The Gu family is now rich in population, and there are many small societies here in Gushan, apart from their own family members, the Pei family alone has a lot of relatives to rely on.People come and go in the front streets and back alleys, and there are thirty or fifty families who can count on the number of aunts. These people can count with their fingers, but they can't count the three lines of relatives with the master of this house. They are all very close. .Looking at this population, we can see the prosperity of several generations.

Here in Kunyi Pass, Lord Gu Shan and Gu Hou are the Emperor of Earth.Therefore, the people living in the three streets around his mansion are considered to be relatives of the Gu family.Gu Zhao wandered around in his spare time.Seeing his relatives coming and going inside and outside the door with heads held high, full of nobility, I felt faintly displeased.

A few days ago, many people saw that Gu Zhao didn't like to go out but only liked to mess around in the inner courtyard, so they also had some thoughts.There are many people in Gu Shan's family, and there is no shortage of talents who are ignorant of the universe and have extraordinary conceits.Because I couldn't get into the inner courtyard, I entrusted people to come and wander around, trying to get acquainted first.In this way, Gu Zhao's life is not lonely, and people often send some articles and picture scrolls to show their talents.

Others don't know, but the people around Gu Zhao are laughing secretly. The Seventh Master of his family has always been as smooth as a donkey's dung. No matter how energetic and united your writing is, Gu Lao Qi can't understand it.

That being said, if you don't understand these things, you don't understand them, but Gu Qiye gladly accepts them.According to his idea, who knows if there will be a posthumous appreciation in the future?No matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat.

Gu Zhao had a good attitude, so he gradually got used to his temper.On this day, early in the morning, the Pei family sent their eldest son, Mao Dao, to pick up Gu Zhao, saying that there was something exciting to watch over there.Gu Zhao was happy, so he took Mao Bing to the other side, and as soon as he entered the yard, he heard a burst of irrepressible laughter, and heard his voice, which had the momentum of a middle-aged street aunt.

Gu Maobing stopped when he heard the laughter, and slipped away with smoke coming from behind his buttocks. This group of old ladies gathered together, either gossiping or making matchmaking with others. , Bah, don't even think about it.He has suffered enough with one Deser, but there are a bunch of them here.

Gu Zhao looked at Gu Maodao. This guy also had a smirk on his face, and he only bowed slightly and said, "Little uncle, they are all relatives of the family, and not others. Just listen to the gossip, and you shouldn't do anything else."

Gu Zhao thought for a while, nodded without thinking too much, smiled slightly, and went straight to the door.

His second brother's garden is called Green Garden, and many rare ancient trees are planted. Although the weather is not beautiful at the moment and the solar terms are not in season, the garden still has a beautiful view. , Along the way, the spring scenery in the garden cannot cover the sweet and beautiful scenery.You can't see the inside from the outside, but you can see everything in the gaps of the bamboo curtains hanging on both sides of the long pavilion. Looking out from the bamboo curtains, there are always little girls of various colors, dressed in cute or naive, or demure, or comfortable, or elegant. Soft and beautiful, sitting there one by one, there are those who carry pens, some embroider, and some who gather together in threes and fives to talk about boudoir romances after composing poems.It is a good age for blossoming and revealing, one by one, they are all charming and beautiful.

Seeing this, if you don't understand, then you are the second idiot. Gu Zhao rubbed his chin. Is the second sister-in-law taking herself as a welfare and preparing to send it out?

In a blink of an eye, there was another aunt's laugh, and Gu Zhao came to the small high platform in the middle, lifted the curtain and went in while talking with a smile.

"Sister-in-law, what kind of limelight are you doing today, with such a strong fragrant wind blowing in front of you, is this the phoenix that attracted that way?"

Over there, Mrs. Pei smiled and said, "Isn't it just to attract you, a sparrow in snow that can't be held back by jumping around on weekdays! There is such a strong fragrant wind." After saying this, there was a burst of laughter in the room.

Gu Zhao smiled and coughed slightly. With this sound, everyone in the lively room stopped talking and looked this way.Just looking at it, the women in the room all secretly thought, but they are indeed as in the legend, they are elegant, golden and jade-like characters.

Mrs. Pei sat up from the soft couch, smiled and put a hand stove in Gu Zhao's hand as soon as they met, then took his other hand to the soft couch, took a cushion with her own hand and told him to sit down, after sitting, He hurriedly asked someone to take a blanket and cover his lap.He also asked someone to brew new tea, brought it to the jade bucket engraved with elegant seal characters, and watched him take a sip.After Gu Zhao finished drinking, Mrs. Pei brought some fruit and picked out the ones that were suitable for the mouth and handed them to him, it seemed like he was coaxing him like a child.

Gu Zhao took the fruit and didn't eat it, just put it in his hand to see the pattern.

Mrs. Pei cherished it, and asked in a soft and caring voice; "I just came in and heard you coughing, and there is still some phlegm that is not clear, but the internal fire is not clear."

Gu Zhao was embarrassed to talk about his spitting, so he shook his hand and said, "Forgive me, it's just that I don't accept the water and soil in general, and I will be fine after a few days of rest. The medicine for clearing the fire is either Coptis chinensis or Scutellaria baicalensis, which is very bitter. , just drink a few more glasses of plain water."

After all, Gu Zhao leaned forward lazily, but didn't deal with that one.He has a class, and when he sees his brother, he will not bow his head to him except for a family courtesy.Furthermore, there are really only a handful of people who can make him nod in Kunyi Pass.Although all the female relatives in this house have a command, they are nothing in front of him.Apart from being an official, Gu Qiye also has a senior family background.

The female relatives in the house blessed the ceremony together, Gu Zhaoxu helped her up, and looked up at her second sister-in-law.

Mrs. Pei smiled, and sent someone to Yudou, replaced the cup with the painting of flying cranes, made white water, watched Gu Zhao put down his snacks, took a cup of tea to clear his mouth, and then introduced it in a circle.

For a while, there was only the voice of Pei's introduction in the room, accompanied by the crisp sound of the teacup being placed on the plate.The scene was embarrassing, and Pei felt rather awkward.

After the introduction, Mrs. Pei laughed and interrupted again: "I don't want you to go through this life in vain, right? You've seen the world! Since you usually brag about how talented and handsome that kid is, Look silly! This is the little gentleman of my Gu family (the young gentleman in the family), have you seen such a character and style?" The people in the room were a little embarrassed, not knowing how to strike up a conversation, and they were still talking awkwardly at the moment Praise, of course, is full of good words.Mrs. Pei pretended to be complacent for a moment, then waved his hands and said: "Sit down, why are you so polite? You are not outsiders, and you are all close relatives who can't turn their fingers. You guys, you should only see the elders in the family. Today is the same. Open your eyes, we... our little Qiye is not unusual. Look, from Shangjing to our countryside, there are people who can compare with you. You can name one. If you go out today, anyone who praises a talented person will spit In the past, they have never seen such a good one!"

There was a burst of laughter in the room, and the atmosphere relaxed, and the women in the room were full of praise and didn't mention it.Gu Zhao just laughed secretly, this Kunyi Pass is really a place where military generals gather, any rough guy can come in and see his family members messing around.My second sister-in-law didn't know what to think, so she recruited a group of people to show off to him, something that my elder sister-in-law wouldn't dare to do at home.

A few days ago, I still felt that the second sister-in-law was a polite person, bah!That's because I'm not used to it, that's because I didn't see the seam!

It’s only been a few days, and Gu Zhao can see that it’s clear. People’s courage soars with power. Pei’s three-acre land in Kunyiguan, except for the empress of Shangjing, here, that’s her world. , her rules.She, the wife in charge of the Hou Mansion, is not standing on Monkey Mountain.

Seeing Gu Zhao's strange smile, Mrs. Pei was upset, so she stretched out her hand and patted his arm and said angrily, "Brother, don't dare to think about it, although you are young, you are still an elder, you have not experienced much, so it is inevitable that you don't understand. Gentlemen, we know a lot about life. Look at this house, you count on your head, whoever, that is, my sister-in-law, I like to meddle in my own business! Who doesn't like a leisurely life, you go out and ask , Who doesn't know that I am the one who doesn't like to take care of things.

But the other day, I heard from your elder brother that last year's sister-in-law was also unwell, and her spirit was not good.He said this as a small talk, but as brothers and sisters of us, it is inevitable that we will feel uncomfortable.You see, the Maud family is in charge of it now.Sister-in-law has made a few mistakes in her life. She is too old to take care of it. Needless to say, five years after returning, this matter is not my turn. "

Gu Zhao replied dryly, "Ah!"

Mrs. Pei continued: "Let's go back and talk about it, you said that Mao De's daughter-in-law is perfect, but she shouldn't be of the same generation. Mao Bing's monkey tendon has committed a crime, so who dares to go against it? That's the reason. Right? I’m of the same generation over there, and the old man here is incapable. After all, it’s hard for me! Hey, my life is also bad. Who doesn’t like to live lightly! I only hate that the evil women here don’t know When can I finish it! My family has nothing to do, but we can't hold back our family's great success, right? Then... there is always something that can't be taken care of..." After finishing speaking, Mrs. Pei wiped her tears with a handkerchief.

Gu Zhao couldn't pretend anymore, so he could only coax him with a smile: "Look at the suffering of this crime, you are always troubled, the humane elder sister-in-law is like a mother, and although the elder sister-in-law is not long, she is the most kind. On weekdays, I also listen to my second brother chatting Damn, you are just worrying about your fate, they will grow up tomorrow, I am afraid you will not be able to sit still before you have to work hard! This is you..." At this point, Gu Zhao looked at her sideways and teased : "If it were me, I wouldn't be too lazy to take care of those messes. Me, I like to listen to operas, gossip, get into trouble, and make trouble for the elder brother. Every day is easy, but I am not proud..."

Pei's teeth were sore when he heard this, and he stretched out his hand and pointed at his head and said, "You...you are really...you don't know the heart of a good person, I worry about your consideration, I don't care about you, there is your brother over there They are not in a hurry, why am I in a hurry? Do you think I am talking about you? Today I am talking about that kid Mao Bing. How old are you? What are you thinking, I mean, your brother, your brother was talking to me a few days ago, this fourth child has been gone for many years, and someone has to worry about his own life-long affairs, don't you think?"

Having said that, he grabbed a round-faced woman in her forties and introduced her to her: "This is my nephew and daughter-in-law at the other end of my natal family. She is most filial..."

Gu Zhao's head seemed to be a little off, his heart was irritable, and he coped with it with a smile on his face. After rambling, Gu Zhao roughly understood that this woman's surname was Lu, and she was the nephew and daughter-in-law of Pei's natal family. They have a son and a daughter, it is said that the eldest son Zhilan Yushu, and the daughter Jiaojiao is naturally as beautiful as a flower, beautiful and beautiful, a beautiful and intelligent flower.Such a good benefit, Pei usually does not tell others, so it is cheaper for Gu Zhao and Gu Maobing.

Gu Zhao just laughed and didn't agree to anything, but the Lu family was very active, saying that you are an elder, so there is no need to shy away from it. He stretched out his hand and lifted a corner of the curtain on the side of the pavilion, pointing at the garden. A woman in Cuiyi proudly introduced: "That's a little girl, call me Jinying."

Gu Zhao took a closer look and found that she was really a beautiful girl. To put it bluntly, in modern times, she would be a goddess.I can't blame others for their confidence.

Gu Zhao watched, and the people in the room were scrutinizing his expression carefully. He breathed and breathed casually, and everyone in the room cut their breath up and down.

After looking at the beauty, Gu Zhao seemed to admire and sighed with a smile and said, "Sister-in-law, you don't know me yet. I'm just a fool waiting to die. If I have such a vision, why don't I discuss it with my elder brother at night before making a plan. Or, Mao Bing is not suitable to find a home in Kunyiguan now, is he?"

Mrs. Pei could only smile, her heart froze, although she didn't show it on her face, all the people in this room were related to her, Gu Zhao is so shameless now, the old face of eight lifetimes will inevitably be unable to hold on.

Pei's heart is not at ease.But he couldn't hold it anymore, and talked about other things for a while.Just as he was talking, two pretty maids outside came into the room with two poetry bags in their hands.

Nowadays, those who work as red matchmakers are not allowed to mention the name of the young lady, so when they meet at home, they always ask the young ladies to gather together and put the poems and embroidered paintings in a sachet for the elders to see. Look upbringing.

Naturally, when the sachet was brought up, Gu Zhao was asked to look at it first.

Gu Zhao took a casual look, and saw that these poetry bags were exquisitely made, some were embroidered with plum blossoms, peonies, magnolia... He picked up one at will and opened it, and there was a silk handkerchief inside, and on the handkerchief was written The first garden scene, the poem says:

Thin gates, small willows and green trees to the east, and the red bridge leading to you.

Asan is far away from the clouds and smoke, and the spring flowers bloom under the shadow of you.

Uh... Well, Gu Qiye didn't know if it was good or not, so he could only praise it. After saying that, a woman in the corner of the room interjected with a smile on her face: "It was written by the little girl Ruixiang. There are begonias embroidered on it..."

Gu Zhao's hand suddenly felt hot, and he put down the poem bag, but he refused to read it again.

At a party, Mrs. Pei was full of energy and excitement. Gu Zhao also learned about the customs of the neighborhood and heard some interesting stories. Seeing noon, he got up and said goodbye. Never again.I thought so, but I didn't expect that that night, a small sedan chair carried a young lady into Gu Maobing's yard.The girl was sent away by the second son of the second elder brother Gu Shan's family, named Maodu, without saying anything else, just said to Gu Maobing: "Seventh Uncle said, this girl's poems are good, she is a talented person." Yes. I think it's not bad, but it's a pity that her family is small, so she can only be brought in to be a good concubine, and brother can just let it go."

After hearing this, Gu Maobing couldn't help finding Gu Zhao to complain angrily. Gu Zhao began to wonder, but was embarrassed when he heard it.

He was in a difficult situation here, he didn't want his elder brother to come running after hearing this, and said as soon as he entered the door: "What does the second daughter-in-law think, she dares to throw any vegetable clapper at home, why does he bully Mao Bing and has no father?" After saying a word, Gu Maobing's eye circles suddenly turned red.

Gu Zhao was surprised for a long time before he said dryly: "Otherwise...take it back?"

"Take it back?" Gu Maobing raised his eyes and said aggrievedly: "How many people have seen it! There is a string of whips hanging on the other side of the door, so I'm afraid they won't hear you. Flying, it was as uncomfortable as hemorrhoids caught in the back of the buttocks, tripped when going out, knelt on the ground, got up, and ran away without paying attention to the dirt, now put it back, tomorrow the girl will have to be carried out of her house sideways... "

Mao Bing is a bit of a girl, but he has the kindest heart.

The three of them met each other without speaking for a long time. After a long time, Gu Yan sighed and shook his head slightly, "I'm here, just leave it as you like, and go back tomorrow, it's up to you to arrange it."

Gu Maobing felt sad in his heart, thought for a long time, and was about to say something, but he didn't want to hear a burst of crying from the courtyard, Gu Zhao asked who it was?Not long after, Xinzai ran in, his face flushed, and he was also angry, who in Shangjing would dare to put such a stumbling block on his family.

Xinzai ran in and said angrily, "Master, it's the second grandma over there, the second master, who brought a woman to plead guilty."

Gu Zhao suddenly held his breath for a long time, what does this mean?Is it not enough to toss for a day?In a fit of anger, he took the teacup on the table without saying a word, but just threw it out. With a crisp sound, the outside fell silent.

After another while, Gu Yan stood up, rolled up his sleeves, and took it from the side. At this moment, he thought of Lu's goodness. In his life, there were very few things like this that clinged to him in the backyard, but he didn't know that this old man The second is how to manage.When he walked to the door, he gave instructions to the people below: "Tell them, pack them up tomorrow, and get up later, after all, there is a purpose on your body, don't dare to delay any longer." Dejected, no longer longing.

Seeing what his elder brother said, Gu Zhao thought about it carefully, but he also got rid of some emotions with a knife, but he got angry there, and he must report back immediately, but today the dumb is really uncomfortable. The girls in this yard, go back It is a death, but it is also a miserable and bleak life to stay.If Mao Bing is a good person, he will come back when he brings it back. He will be deserted all his life, but it is also what the four seasons of the world should have. He is a loving person, so he can't wait to find someone to hold him in his arms, hold him warm, and spend his whole life leisurely and domineering.Any kind of woman who follows him will be a widow!
