There is a fairy wife at home [Red Mansion]

During the period of coming to Fucheng, Uncle Xu accompanied Gu Ting to the medical clinic in the morning, and went to the teahouse to sit in the teahouse when he had free time in the afternoon.Teahouses have always been gathering places for news. They are outsiders, and they don't know much about the people in Fucheng. Uncle Xu has a plan and often goes to inquire.

This time I got the order, and went to the teahouse again, and found out the details of Mr. Zhang Lao without much effort.

Uncle Xu smiled all the way, and the upturned mouth did not fall when he came back: "Lady, fourth master has worshiped a good teacher!"

"Oh? How good?" Jiang Jinshu's first reaction was that the old gentleman was a well-known person in Fucheng, and he might be a teacher of Zhushan Academy.

Just as Uncle Xu was about to say something, he glanced at the opposite room again and lowered his voice: "My lady, do you still remember the old lady whom Second Master Qing is going to visit when he comes back to Fucheng?"

Jiang Jinshu was taken aback for a moment, then stunned: "It can't be such a coincidence, can it?"

She didn't care about Gu Qing's affairs, but when she was in the Lotus Temple, she accidentally heard Gu Qing talking with someone, and knew that they were going to visit an old man named "Zhang".At that time, it was just heard, who knows whether it is "Zhang" or "Zhang". Besides, from Gu Qing's words, that old man is not so nice.

Uncle Xu smiled and said: "It's a coincidence. I inquired outside, and because there are many scholars in the city recently, it was easy to find out. The old Mr. Zhang that Fourth Master knew was the elder of the Imperial Academy who returned to his hometown. It's the one that Second Lord Qing wants to visit. Zhang's family is a scholarly family, all the children are studying, and several of them have become officials. In addition, the dean of Zhushan Academy is Mr. Zhang's younger brother."

The dean of Zhushan Academy?This is not ordinary.

Although Zhushan Academy is not an official school, it is different from ordinary private schools, and it is quite famous in the government and the public.The scale of the academy is not small, and there are many sons of the rich and powerful who are attracted to the famous scholars. The dean of the academy, Su Yong, is knowledgeable and highly respected, and the professors hired by the academy are not ordinary.Scholars like Gu Qing admire Zhushan Academy very much, but admission to the academy is subject to assessment, and those who are not outstanding in talent and learning are not low in cultivation.

Jiang Jinshu asked again, "What is Mr. Zhang's job in the Imperial Academy?"

"Study a bachelor from the fifth-rank servant. Although the grade is not high, the Imperial Academy is different from others. Mr. Zhang Lao was born in Tanhua. He has been studying knowledge in the Imperial Academy and often gives lectures to the princes. Even the emperor praises him a lot. It is said that this time, the old gentleman wrote a letter to become an official, and the Holy One repeatedly persuaded him to stay, but the old gentleman only said that he was old and lacked energy, and finally returned to his hometown after receiving a reward."

Jiang Jinshu felt strange when she heard this, is she old and lacking in energy?If this is the case, there will be no thought of taking Gu Ting as a disciple.But after thinking about it, these are all official articles, maybe the old man is lazy in officialdom management, wants to meditate in his old age, or has other considerations.

In addition, Jiang Jinshu asked about the general situation of Zhang's family.

Hand over the apprentice ceremony to Uncle Xu to buy.

At first Jiang Jinshu was thinking about Shu Xiu, but later she thought, this is not going to school, Shu Xiu can't give money.It's not appropriate to take an expensive thing as a worship, after all, the Gu family is an ordinary farming and studying family, and they are not a wealthy family. The expensive things they give seem to be utilitarian, and they are suspected of swollen face to pretend to be fat.

After thinking about it, she decided to go to Zhang's house according to the younger generation's etiquette for the time being, and the gift would be a four-color gift box, which was quite satisfactory.After being apprenticed to the teacher, we will go back next time and prepare gifts according to the situation of each member of the Zhang family. At that time, our identities have been determined, we can carry better things, and we can walk more intimately.

Early the next morning, Jiang Jinshu went out with Gu Ting, Uncle Xu drove Liu Ye'er away, and locked the door before leaving.

Although Gu Qing lived here, he still left early and returned late.

Because of this, Mrs. Chen also got up early, and seeing the four masters and servants going out, and they seemed to be carrying gift boxes, her heart moved, and she asked a question.

Jiang Jinshu replied with a faint smile, "Fourth Master has improved a lot recently, Old Doctor Shen has done his best for this, I think I must thank you."

Chen's eyes glanced at Gu Ting, but saw that he was wearing a blue shirt, with a handsome figure, a gentle face, and clear eyes.At this moment, he and Jiang Jinshu are standing together, half a head tall, one is gentle, the other is beautiful and elegant.

"Look at the fourth brother, it's really much better." Chen was a little stunned.

Although she lived in the same courtyard these days, she had never paid attention to Gu Ting, so she was surprised when she saw it so coldly.Although I don't know if Gu Ting's stupid disease is really cured, but the temperament of the whole body is indeed different, it seems to be even more outstanding than Gu Qing.

Originally, Gu Ting was born with the best looks among his grandchildren, but in the past he always behaved like a child, but now he is...

Chen couldn't hold back and blurted out, "Could it be that the fourth brother's stupid disease has been cured?"

As soon as the words came out, Mrs. Chen regretted endlessly. Even though it was well known, it would be rude to say it directly in person.

Jiang Jinshu didn't blame her, and she also wanted to make people notice Gu Ting's change.

She made a look of joy: "It's not completely cured, but the improvement is obvious, and it will take a while to think about it. Fourth master loves reading so much. When he is cured, fourth master will be able to go to school as he wishes. Grandma knows I don’t know how happy I am.”

"Congratulations to the fourth sibling." Chen's heart was quite complicated, but his face was still full of joy.

Gu Ting has not interrupted, but unlike before, he can already understand what they said, what's more, he obviously feels that the second sister-in-law Chen is not as happy as she said.However, at this time, his mind is still pure, and he is not very clear about the complexity of the human heart, and he doesn't care.

Jiang Jinshu and his party went to the clinic first.

Dr. Shen must carefully check the pulse every time he performs acupuncture to prevent the condition from changing.

"Most of the blood stasis has disappeared, and the curative effect is much faster than expected. However, it gets slower as you get to the end. You don't need to use the needle so frequently. Change it to once every three days. I will prescribe a new prescription later, and then recombine it." A pair of pills." Old Doctor Shen was quite surprised by the speed at which Gu Ting's condition improved, but what was even more surprising was another thing.

I have to see him once a day, the person who was stupid before, it took less than a month, but his mind is gradually clear, and his thinking has transformed from a seven or eight year old to a fourteen or five year old boy.

Ever since Dr. Shen noticed this change, he had to chat with Gu Ting every time he saw a doctor, and the topics covered various aspects, so he knew Gu Ting's changes most clearly.Old Doctor Shen couldn't figure it out, after confirming several times that it wasn't the effect of his own medicine and acupuncture, he could only say that Gu Ting was blessed.

Come out of the medical hall and turn to Xinghua Lane.

Xinghua Lane is not far from East Street, and the third house in the alley is Zhang's.Although it is hidden in an alley, the Zhang family's house is not too small, simple and quiet, with elegant flowers and trees, and the smell of books everywhere.

I have learned earlier that although the Zhang family is a scholarly heirloom, they do not have many heirs.Zhang Tai, who returned to his hometown as an official, has two sons. The eldest son is an official in another place, and the second son has no intention of official career. He only teaches at Zhushan Academy and takes care of family affairs by the way.The eldest son has a pair of sons and daughters, and the second son has two daughters. As the only grandson of the Zhang family, Zhang Ming, who is only sixteen years old, is quite outstanding. He is already a scholar. He is now studying at Zhushan Academy. At that time, there were countless carriages entering and leaving Zhang's house.

After entering Zhang's house, Gu Ting went to the study, while Jiang Jinshu was led to the inner house by the maid.

Jiang Jinshu followed Gu Ting with his spiritual sense, and Gu Ting entered the study. There was a refined old man sitting in the study.That old man is Zhang Tai.

Here, Jiang Jinshu met the old lady of the Zhang family.

Mrs. Zhang looked very kind, and sitting beside her was a gentle lady, the wife of the second master of the Zhang family.There are three other girls, the older two are about the same age, only eleven or twelve years old, and the younger one is only six or seven years old. They are neatly dressed and sit there quietly. When they see visitors, they get up one after another, with pale faces The smile is reserved and appropriate.

"This is the lady of the Gu family? She has such a good-looking appearance that people like it when she sees it." Mrs. Zhang opened her mouth first, her voice was kind, and her eyes were pleasantly surprised.

Mrs. Zhang Er was also quite surprised. She was surprised when she heard the old man mentioned earlier that he wanted to accept disciples. Who would have expected this lady to be so brilliant.Complimenting her appearance is second to none, but her temperament is rare, "It seems like the moon is covered by light clouds, and the snow flutters like the wind blowing back. Looking at it from a distance, it is as bright as the sun rising in the morning glow; when observing it by force, it is burning like a flower. Lubo".

"Jinshu has met Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Second."

"Get up quickly, we will be a family from now on, so you don't have to look outside like this." Mrs. Zhang hurriedly greeted, took a jasper bracelet from her wrist and put it on her hand. The fair and tender complexion complement each other: "It really looks good. It's the first time I saw it. It's just a wish, so you can't refuse it."

At first, Madam Zhang didn't prepare this as a meeting gift, but after seeing Jiang Jinshu, she really liked it, so she gave this bracelet.

Jiang Jinshu naturally saw that the jade bracelet was of good quality, she was blocked before she could refuse, and after a little thought, she could only accept it as a thank you.

Just now Mrs. Zhang said that they will be a family in the future, which is not too bad.Gu Ting's apprenticeship is unusual. After the teacher is successful, he becomes Zhangtai's disciple. They have a very close relationship with each other. He respects the teacher as the world respects the teacher, and the teacher is like a father, and he should serve him all his life.

"This jade bracelet is the old lady's favorite thing. I gave it to the younger sisters of the Gu family today, and it makes my sister-in-law greedy." Mrs. Zhang Er stepped forward to hold Jiang Jinshu's hand, and pulled her to sit on the seat under the old lady. , deliberately said joking words in his mouth.

This is also because the second wife saw that the old lady liked Jiang Jinshu very much, and the matter of apprenticeship was also a certainty. At that time, they would be of the same generation, and it would be okay to call them closer.

Jiang Jinshu was new here, so she was not easy to answer, so she just smiled.

Mrs. Zhang Er introduced the three girls in the family one by one.

Fortunately, Jiang Jinshu was prepared and prepared a few new pearl flowers. This gift was neither light nor heavy, and it was just suitable for girls. It is not impolite to do it as a first meeting gift.Only then did I know that the eldest girl belonged to the eldest master's family, and the other two were the second daughters of the Zhang family, one concubine and one concubine, both of whom were raised by the second wife.

The Zhang family has few descendants, a simple population, and few fights.

Not to mention the eldest house outside, besides the second wife, there is only one aunt on the second house, and she only got her name because of her childbirth.Naturally, my aunt is not qualified to attend such an occasion to meet guests, and even her own daughter does not have the right to raise her.

Jiang Jinshu couldn't help feeling that the Gu family was simpler.

I thought I would be apprenticed today, but it turned out not to be.

Zhangtai has set a date, and he will go according to the formal ceremony of apprenticeship.On the other hand, the reason why Zhangtai accepted Gu Ting was because of his outstanding talent, and he was the last closed disciple, so he should not be ignored, he should invite fellow disciples, friends, disciples and others to come to watch the ceremony.
