At midnight, the rain drizzled, mixed with wisps of breeze.
Thin, dense, misty.
When Gu Han woke up, it was even more leaking that it was time for Mao. Everything was so quiet, and the sound of rain falling flowers was heard very clearly.
She turned over and lay on her side to think about her thoughts.
Half an hour later, the rain stopped and the sky gradually became brighter. A slightly white light appeared at the inner window covered with paper in Goryeo.
The furnishings in the house are gradually becoming clearer.
The old sandalwood beauty couch next to the window is facing Gu Han's stringed silk carved shelf bed. There are small plum blossoms and vermilion paint tables on both sides, and blue and white patterned flower vases are placed, with a few beautifully blooming forsythia inside.
This is the Nishiji room, where she rests, and it is considered an inner room.
Dongji room built a study room.
The girl lives in Xier Room temporarily at night.
The Donger Room was used as a warehouse envoy, and the elders were all piled up there if they were rewarded or not.
Qiaoling estimated that Gu Han would get up, and took the curtain into the house, served her to wash and dress, changed into beans, greenish-faced satin, white Xiang skirt, and white jade-like plum blossoms on her head.
Gu Han was half asleep and half awake all night, not sleeping soundly, not energetic, and not talking.
Just wait until everything is done, stand in front of the makeup mirror and look at yourself carefully.
The girl in the mirror has black hair like a waterfall, her white cheeks, her chin is pointed because of her weakness, her eyebrows are crescent moon, and her almond eyes are full.
Such a weak appearance as a willow makes her look particularly beautiful, docile, and harmless.
"Miss, is it a breakfast?"
Qiaoling asked in a low voice.
Gu Han nodded, sat down on the beauty, and said, "Just be lighter."
Qiaoling bent down and agreed to leave.
Gu Han reached out and pushed the inner window open the gap. A light breeze blew in. The fragrance of forsythia flowers was faint and smelled so good.
After a while, she suddenly remembered something and turned around to explain to Taohong who was serving outside, "Go to the kitchen and ask them to make some new horseshoe cakes."
"Miss, will you eat now?"
Taohong said with a long mouth.
"No, I will bring it with me when I pay my respects to my mother later, she likes to eat."
Taohong bows her body and goes down to make arrangements.
Gu Han poured himself a cup of tea and slowly looked back on Gu's current situation.
The current head of the Gu family is her grandfather Gu Lin, the second-rank minister of the Ministry of Justice.
He has passed the age of knowing his destiny and has three sons and one daughter, the eldest son Gu Jingran and the second son Gu Jingxing, and the fourth daughter Gu Jinghuan was born with his wife Wu.
The third son of the concubine, Gu Jingwen, came from his concubine.
Putting aside the four legitimate daughters who married her husband's family, the rest of the sons lived in the mansion, all of whom started their families and had children together.
With such a big family, the rules for governing the province in the morning and evening are naturally strict.
The children have to pay their respects to their father and mother every day, and then go to the main room to pay their respects to Gu Lin and his wife. The concubines in each room are relatively relaxed, and they are not qualified to pay their respects to their mistresses. The specific time and rules will be arranged by the mistresses themselves.
After a moment, Qiaoling and Qiaozhen carried the small square table of rosewood together, and there were several girls holding dishes behind them.
Gu Han watched them placing tables and plates, including Yutian fragrant rice porridge, fried duck shredded bird's nest, fried dumplings, and steamed egg custard.
Chunzaitang’s cooking lady is good at cooking, and these dishes are fresh in color and fragrant.
After eating half a bowl of egg custard, Gu Han got up and went to Jinxiuyuan of his mother Sun's family.
She has not seen her mother since she was reborn and should pay her respects.
The master and servant walked through the path full of layers of camellia, turned left, and went to the clapper veranda. After about one stick of incense, they saw a courtyard with five upper rooms from a distance, with the red-painted beast-headed door open.
Looking further inside, several mothers were cleaning the yard.
Gu Han's eyes heated up.
Yes, this is my mother's residence.
After she married Zhang Juling in her previous life, she came back only a few times.
A sharp-eyed little girl saw Gu Han walking into the yard and hurriedly bowed her head.
Gu Han waved his hand and asked them to get up.
She let out a long sigh and looked around.
There are only a few osmanthus trees planted in the huge yard, nothing else, it is bare.
There are obviously people living in it, but they feel desolate inexplicably.
Gu Han's tears were about to fall. His father had been dead for more than ten years, and his mother's heart was taken away.
Up the steps, the little girl guarding the door lifted up the blue fine cloth curtain, and Gu Han raised his foot into the main hall.
My mother sat on the Grand Master's chair and drank tea, but she still looked as beautiful and simple as she remembered.
There was a young man and a girl sitting on each side.
The boy was wearing a sky blue silk-shaped yarn, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and was handsome.
It is her real brother - Gu Nuan.
He just turned sixteen and passed the exam last year.
The girl is Gu Xi, and her face and cheeks are very decent. She neither steals the limelight from her daughter nor disappoints her beauty.
Sun talked to his son sideways. When he heard the sound, he turned his head and smiled on his face and waved, "Sister Han, come here for my mother."
Gu Han wanted to laugh, but tears rolled out of his eye sockets.
"What's wrong with my sister?"
Gu Nuan was shocked when she saw Gu Han crying: "...Is your body still uncomfortable?"
Gu Han shook his head, took out a veil to wipe away his tears: "Brother, I'm fine.
When I was walking just now, my eyes were blurred by the wind and sand, and I felt a little itchy... It will be all gone now."
While speaking, Gu Han walked up to Sun's face and gave a big gift in a manner.
"Good boy...get up quickly."
Sun bent down to help the girl, her eyes turned red and she felt very guilty.
When she was eight months pregnant, her husband passed away... She was sad and cried day and night. Not only did Han Jie'er give birth prematurely, but after birth, she was even weaker and became sick after the wind blows.
The doctor said that it was her great sorrow and pain during pregnancy that affected Sister Han.
Sun's big girl, Vanilla, brought Jinba to Jinba and asked Gu Han to sit down.
"You are still sick, why are you here in Jinxiuyuan?"
Sun talked to the girl, "I'm dressed so thin, why don't I wear a big cloak? It's just raining, so I'm not afraid of being frozen anymore."
Qiaozhen and Qiaoling stood aside, and did not dare to show off.
It was indeed because they were careless and panicked when they went out, and they actually forgot to put on the lady's cloak.
Gu Han acted coquettishly: "Mother, my hands are warm and not cold at all."
"It's too late to know it's cold..." Sun's angry eyes were taken by the girl, and he really took her hand. It was really warm, so he felt relieved.
"My sister should wear thicker clothes when she goes out. Although the weather is warmer, it is chilly in the spring, so keeping it warm is serious."
Gu Nuan took a sip of tea and instructed.
Gu Han said "yes" and narrowed his eyes.
She likes the feeling of being cared for.
"Mother, try this."
Gu Han took the horseshoe cake from Qiaozhen and handed it to Sun like a treasure. He just said nothing and forgot it, "...I asked the kitchen to make it for you."
“Delicious, so sweet.”
Sun clamped a piece and praised.
The full of kindness and gratitude in her mother's eyes made Gu Han stunned for a moment, and it reminded her of some past events inappropriate life... In her previous life, she confirmed Zhou Haobo's death from her mother...
However, Zhou Haobo was not dead.
A person's eyes cannot deceive others.
She didn't want to doubt her mother...
But why did the mother fake it and confirm Zhou Haobo's death?
What's wrong with this?
Gu Han couldn't figure it out.
"Sister Han?"
When Sun saw the girl Ermu staring at her blankly, she felt strange and said something.
Gu Han said "yes" and suppressed the things in his heart, "If you eat more when you taste delicious."
"Good kid... don't be afraid of anything, there is a mother."
However, Sun misunderstood that the girl was sad for the quarrel with Sister Feng a few days ago... Sister Feng was a concubine, and she was really angry when she dared to offend the girl like this.
Although she could not offend the big house, she also tried to pass the matter into Wu's ears.
Wu's family values ​​the most common legitimate wife. I heard that he had punished Sister Wan severely, and Zhao's face was also lost due to the trouble.
Although I am cowardly and can be bullied, as a mother, my children cannot tolerate any of them.
"Mother..." Gu Han was stunned, and then he understood what Sun had misunderstood.
She couldn't say anything, so she had to give in to Gu Nuan and Gu Xi to eat horse hoof cake.
Gu Nuan was fine, so he pinched a piece and ate it.
Gu Xi was quite surprised.
The legitimate sister was so polite to her, and the sun really came out from the west...
Seeing that she didn't eat, Gu Han laughed and said, "Don't sister like it?"
elder sister?
Gu Xi was stunned. How could Gu Han call her sister?
"like."
The close-fitting girl pulled herself, and Gu Xi stuttered and took a piece.
Gu Han seemed to be unable to see Gu Xi's expression, and the dimples smiled slightly, "Just sister likes it."
Gu Xi felt warm in his heart, and he didn't say anything, lowered his head and took a bite.
It's really sweet.
Jinxiu Garden is rare to be lively, and Sun talks a little more, and laughs and laughter are constantly happening for a while.
The second wife's manager's surname is Li, and she is the dowry of Sun, and she is considered to be of high status among the servants.
She looked at the sky outside, added tea to Sun, and reminded: "Madam, it's time to go to the main room to pay your respects."
Sun nodded and asked the girl Xiangyun to take out the prepared red-gold necklace circle inlaid with ruby, and she personally brought it to the girl, "You are weak, and these valuable items can help you relieve some illness. My mother specially created it, so you can take it with you every day in the future."
"Mother..." Gu Han was so amused and cried, feeling that his whole neck had become heavier.
"My sister is dressed so plainly, she looks good with this collar."
