Chapter 209
After drinking tea, I listened to a small song. The girl who sang the song suddenly became sad and graceful.
Her gentle lyrics add a bit of sadness.
A woman died of her husband and was occupied by the clan’s family. She wandered around with her children. She eventually became a concubine for the wealthy businessman and bought the eldest wife out, taking over the children.
The teahouse suddenly became quiet. It was clear that it was midsummer, but everyone could hear the coldness of the cold wind in the twelfth lunar month from the sad lyrics.
The widow, who was raising her relatives, held the hands of a young child, staggered in the wind, and her face was filled with tears.
Gu Jinzhi and the old man have been listening to this story.
The old man gave all the broken silver in his pocket to the singer.
It's about four or five taels.
The girl came over to thank her.
She has a clear eyebrows and a shy smile.
"Where did you hear this story?" Gu Jinzhi asked her, "The lyrics are so good. Did you make it yourself?"
"No." The little girl smiled shyly, "It was a lyric and music compiled by Mr. Chen, who taught me to sing. Mr. Chen is the one who tells the story..."
There is a storyteller in this teahouse. He is in his thirties and is simple and can tell that his life is not satisfactory. However, his face is always filled with an optimistic smile. Even if it is an extremely sad story, he uses joking
Say it out tone.
It was interesting to come to the teahouse to drink tea and listen to books, so everyone liked him.
It is hard to imagine that he could make up this sad word.
"Why didn't Mr. Chen come today?" Gu Jinzhi asked with a smile, "I have heard of him, he says good books..."
"Mr. I will take a day off every five days. Today is the day for Mr. Isn't you a regular visitor?" the little girl said with a smile.
Gu Jinzhi smiled.
Because I listened to the music, I came out of the teahouse and it was dusk.
Gu Jinzhi and the old man ate a lot of refreshments and drank half of their stomachs, and neither of them was very hungry.
When they arrived at the shop, Gu Jinzhi and Zhu Zhongjun went home.
Zhu Zhongjun asked her: "What did you do just now?"
"Go to have tea." Gu Jinzhi smiled, "The little girl who sang the song has a new lyrics and song, which is very nice. We have been waiting for her to finish singing before coming back..."
“What are you singing?”
"The joys and sorrows of the world are the joys and sorrows of the world." Gu Jinzhi said, "A cowardly and kind woman was bullied everywhere and suffered a lot. Later, her son passed the imperial examination and was elected as an official. She took her back to her hometown to enjoy her old age.
In the end, she died. A camellia tree grew on her grave, and the flowers were all year round, very beautiful. The locals built a small temple next to her grave and shaped a golden body. They were always sincere.
, let’s have a harmonious family.”
Zhu Zhongjun couldn't help but look good.
"How do camellia bloom on the grave?" Zhu Zhongjun said, "How can such a delicate thing be kept on the grave? It's nonsense."
"Why do you care about these details?" Gu Jinzhi said, "The ending of the whole story is complete and warm, so it has meaning? It's just a story..."
Zhu Zhongjun curled his lips and was quite disdainful of Gu Jinzhi's unrigorous attitude.
"Next time I have time, you can also listen?" Gu Jinzhi smiled, "My eyes were wet at that time... You will be very moved when you hear it."
Zhu Zhongjun is rarely moved by the stories of others.
He said perfunctorily: "Let's talk about it."
Back at Guzhai, the family gathered together for supper.
Song Pan'er asked her if there were any interesting things today.
Gu Jinzhi took the uncle to the shop for trouble and said in one word that she and the old man went to listen to the song. He also told Song Pan'er the story about the song.
After thinking about it carefully, she didn't hear many words clearly. Some of them were made up by herself.
But it is also very reasonable.
Gu Yanzhen listened, praised it and asked, "Which teahouse is it?" He also wanted to listen.
Mother Song and the maids who served around him were also crying; Brother Xuan and Brother Xiu didn't quite understand, so they had already gone to the warm room to tease Xiao Shi and Xiao Shi Yi.
Song Pan'er said, "Where is the best place? It's all that woman is not good! If I were to fight for this life first, I wouldn't be able to survive if a man dies and be driven away by someone!"
The beautiful and sad scenes were destroyed immediately.
Gu Yanzhen looked at his wife helplessly.
Gu Jinzhi said: "Mom, it's just a story, why bother to be serious? Wouldn't it be nice to listen to it as interesting?"
Song Pan'er glared at her: "These stories are made up by stinky men, and women are obedient and obedient. A useless woman eventually becomes a Bodhisattva..."
Gu Yanzhen couldn't stand it and slipped away.
Finally, Song Paner teaches Gu Jinzhi and several unmarried maids to be unable to be at the mercy of others in the future, so they should be stronger, otherwise they should be driven around, sold around, and eventually they will not become Bodhisattvas.
, a pile of dead grass wrapped in rotten bones.
Gu Jinzhi listened carefully from the side and nodded repeatedly and said yes.
Song's mother is smirking.
The maids looked at each other in a little.
Zhu Zhongjun was also on the side, holding his chin and listening.
When Gu Jinzhi came out of the main courtyard and sent him to the second gate, he asked Gu Jinzhi: "... Do you still think that story is interesting?"
Gu Jinzhi glared at him.
Zhu Zhongjun just laughed.
"Good night." He gently pulled Gu Jinzhi's hand.
Gu Jinzhi smiled and said good night.
All night, Gu Jinzhi didn't sleep well. She was thinking about the old man's affairs, a good novel:.
I was struggling for a long time.
The next day, she woke up.
Nichang is on the night, so she hurriedly gets up to serve Gu Jinzhi in dressing and washing.
Gu Jinzhi changed into a royal blue straight-shaped waistband and tied it with a black waistband.
When Nishang tied her waist seal, she pinched her hands on her waist again and again.
Gu Jinzhi was tickled and smiled and avoided her hand and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I lost a lot!" Nishang looked distressed, "Girl, are you not eating well at lunch in the shop? Otherwise, I will tell my wife that I will send you food at noon?"
It's easier to eat for lunch.
But everyone eats this way, even grandfather.
Zhu Zhongjun is such a picky foodie and eats with relish. How can Gu Jinzhi tap?
She smiled and said, "I've grown up! When I grow up, my waist will naturally become thinner..."
Nishang gestured on her head a few times.
In fact, I haven't grown much this year.
"I still lost weight." Nishang said. "You can use more breakfast in the future and fill the lunch. When you come back at night, I will make you some snacks..."
Gu Jinzhi was so amused and crying.
Sure enough, during breakfast, Nishang accompanied her to the main courtyard. When she saw her put chopsticks, she immediately picked up two crystal shrimp dumplings for her.
Gu Jinzhi had no choice but to eat.
She put down her chopsticks again, Nishang served again, and picked up two spring rolls.
Gu Jinzhi couldn't eat it anymore.
Song Pan'er saw it and asked Gu Jinzhi: "What's wrong, are you very hungry?"
Gu Jinzhi hurriedly said no.
"Madam, the girl has lost a lot of weight..." Nishang spoke and said to Song Paner, "The waist is thinner twice. The waist seal is about to be smaller again."
Song Pan'er could also see that Gu Jinzhi had lost weight.
But she felt that the girl was getting older, becoming slimmer and more beautiful. Besides, Gu Jinzhi was not really thin and bony.
She is thinner and her face is sharper, and her eyes look bigger and more beautiful.
Hearing Ni Shang say this, Song Paner was stunned and said, "Is that so? Come here and I'll take a look..."
Gu Jinzhi had no choice but to get up and walk to his mother.
Song Pan'er looked up and down, touched her, and was startled: "Oh, why are you so thin?"
She was covered in bones.
A good breakfast ended up criticizing Gu Jinzhi for not eating.
She didn't stop eating. The summer was too hot, the appetite was bad, and she was busy. Besides, Gu Jinzhi didn't feel uncomfortable. She was more energetic.
Gu Yanzhen also asked: "Where are you feeling uncomfortable? I have long seen you lose weight..."
Gu Jinzhi is hard to speak.
It was not until the little maid came in and said that someone from the old house had interrupted their questioning of Gu Jinzhi.
"...It's Miss Chunqiao next to the eldest lady, who is here." The little maid said.
Song Pan'er hurriedly asked to invite him in. When he saw that everyone had finished eating, he ordered the maids and mothers to remove the dining table, rinse their mouths with tea, and wash their hands with water.
"It's so early, I'm afraid it's your sister-in-law's baby..." Song Pan'er guessed the intention of the person coming to the old house.
As a result, it was not to invite Gu Jinzhi to see a doctor.
But, things in the palace.
"The third princess was demoted last night..." Chun Qiao said with a smile.
Concubine De was born last night.
Born a princess.
Gu Jinzhi felt relieved in his heart.
The princess is happy, and everyone is happy after giving birth to a princess. The emperor is happy and the queen mother likes it, but I am afraid that my uncle will not be happy. However, it is a great joy to be able to make a contribution.
The eldest lady asked the maid to tell her that it was implying that the three rituals of the Baptism tomorrow would be sent to the palace to invite the foreign wife to go lively.
Song Pan'er is Concubine De's parents' home, so the gifts can only be heavy but not light. The eldest lady is giving Song Pan'er a time to prepare.
"Is the Empress, mother and daughter safe?" Song Pan'er asked with a smile, "What a great joy."
"Everything is safe." Chun Qiao said.
After Chunqiao left, Song Pan'er sent the children to study, and sent Gu Yanzhen out, and asked Song's mother to take out the goldware sent by Fuxiang's old brand a few days ago.
Song Pan'er also thought that Concubine De might have a child this month. Last time, she went to the Fuxiang old brand and wore a batch of long-lived locks. When the child's bracelet came back, she would prepare it first.
She shot seven or eight long-lived locks and ten pairs of bracelets in one breath.
Like the big grandmother Lin Manjing in the big room, the princess of Nanchang, the third grandmother Xia, and the fourth girl Gu Shanzhi, it has only been in the past few years.
"This one is just one or two." Song Pan'er picked out the heaviest longevity lock and took it to Song's mother. "I used to call this one to be prepared for the princess."
The other long-lived locks are all eight points.
Then I picked a pair of bracelets.
As usual, Gu Jinzhi went to the pharmacy shop and asked his grandfather and elder brother whether he knew that Concubine De had given birth to a princess.
They have not heard of it yet.
"When did you get born?" asked the eldest brother.
"Last night." Gu Jinzhi said, "Tomorrow, I will go to the palace to see their mother and daughter."
The old man smiled and said, "Concubine De is blessed..."
The old man also thinks that giving birth to a princess is good. If you give birth to a princess, the emperor and the queen mother will not be assured. No matter how hard the uncle has to do, he will not be able to cause trouble.
"Yes, I say the same." Gu Jin said.
Lin Yi stood aside, his eyes fell on the grandparents and grandchildren, and felt a different feeling in his heart.
He likes Mr. Gu more and more.
This old man is not only skilled in medical skills, kind-hearted, but also particularly wise.
