There is a fairy wife at home [Red Mansion]

The apprentice ceremony is three days later.

Zhang's family left lunch and tea, Jiang Jinshu said goodbye and left.

Gu Ting has the habit of taking a nap, at this time he was already a little sleepy, he managed to last until he got home, and fell asleep immediately.Jiang Jinshu called Liu Ye'er, asked her to pay the money, and went outside to buy clothes at the silk shop.Zhangtai attaches great importance to Gu Ting, Mrs. Zhang and others treat Jiang Jinshu very well, and Jiang Jinshu, as Gu Ting's family member, has to show her affection.There is no need for expensive gifts, it is better to make clothes for the old couple of the Zhang family.

Summer clothes are not difficult to make. Many materials already have beautiful patterns, so there is no need to embroider too many fancy patterns. Just cut them and spend some effort on the hem of the collar.

She didn't intend to be too attentive to Zhang's second wife, otherwise it might backfire.

The original owner was good at embroidery, not good at cutting, but now Jiang Jinshu, cutting is not difficult for her, but embroidery is difficult.Her memory is good, and she can learn all kinds of stitches from memory to perfection, but it seems unfamiliar and stiff to do it herself.This is also common sense. No matter how rich the theoretical knowledge is, it is the first time that practice cannot stand up.

She never did embroidery work before, and Liu Ye'er and the others didn't care, but this time she was making clothes for Gu Ting's teacher and wife, so she couldn't hide it.

She could only practice continuously at night.Fortunately, she can use her spiritual energy to continuously soothe the meridians of her fingers and wrists, and practice repeatedly the patterns and patterns used to make clothes, and finally she can make them look decent.

When Liu Ye'er saw it, she said: "My lady hasn't touched needlework for a long time, she looks a little rusty."

This is a polite way of saying it, but in fact it is more crafty, a little rigid and less aura.

For the skill of embroidery, it is not enough to embroider without mistakes and look good. To be truly good, it must be fresh and spiritual, which can catch people's eyes and be truly good.

It's not easy for Jiang Jinshu to catch the ducks on the shelves.

"It's really raw, let's practice slowly in the future." Even if you do it all over again, you won't be able to improve in just two or three days, so you don't have to worry about it.

Liu Ye'er remembered something: "The weather has been getting hotter recently, and the lady should also add two clothes. I went to the silk shop before, and the shop bought high-quality white hang silk, which is perfect for making skirts. There are also two horses in the dowry of the lady." White silk, but they are all old, and the color is not very good."

"Okay, buy more, and make yourself a whole body. Is the money enough?" Jiang Jinshu asked.

"Enough is enough. The price of white silk hasn't been raised, it's still a foot and it's worth buying more." The store will give you a discount if you buy a lot of things, so Liu Ye'er didn't say no to refuse.

In a blink of an eye, it's the apprenticeship day.

Now there are many people living in the small courtyard, the doors are facing each other, and people can come in and out under the noses of everyone. However, Jiang Jinshu doesn't eat with the second room here, and she doesn't have to report to anyone when she goes out.

Speaking of it, Mrs. Bai is the second aunt and the only elder in Fucheng. If Jiang Jinshu wants to go in and out, she should greet her, but Jiang Jinshu doesn't want to be manipulated by others, and Mrs. Bai sometimes takes care of Gu Kang, so she pretends to be confused , to maintain the relationship between the two houses only in a lukewarm state.

In the second room, only Mrs. Chen paid the most attention to Jiang Jinshu.

When going out this day, Jiang Jinshu stepped out of the room with her front foot, and Chen Shi came out of the room with her back foot.

"Fourth brother and sister, you are..."

"Fourth Master met an old gentleman, and we plan to visit." Jiang Jinshu didn't want to make troubles in his life, so he decided to hide the matter of apprenticeship for the time being, and talk about it when he returned to Gu's house.

Gu Qing won't be staying in Fucheng for long, and will return to the county after the Zhushan Cultural Conference, and Chen's will naturally follow.Mrs. Bai came to bring Gu Kang home, and she couldn't delay it for too long. She guessed that Gu Xu would bring Mrs. Gu with her when she returned, so Mrs. Bai dared not disobey.

The congestion in Gu Ting's brain disappeared more slowly in the later stage, and she could go home and take medicine slowly, but after thinking about it, she decided to stay in Fucheng.Being away from the Gu family here, and not worrying about anything, actually helps Gu Ting's thinking and consciousness to mature, not to mention that the teacher Zhangtai lives in Fucheng, which is also convenient for studying.

Thinking of this, Jiang Jinshu's heart skipped a beat.

If Zhangtai was mentioned at home, others would be fine, Mrs. Gu would definitely be happy, and for the future of Gu Ting, she would definitely support them to settle in Fucheng.

Really coming to Fucheng has both advantages and disadvantages.

Chen Shi watched the carriage leave, and frowned slightly, feeling that things were not that simple.

Gu Qing went out early, Chen could only wait for Gu Qing to come back before talking about this matter.

Half an hour later, a carriage stopped outside the courtyard.

The maid Caiqin said: "Miss Qing, someone from the Jiang family is here."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Chen stood up immediately: "Who is here?"

"It's still the same Chuntao girl from last time."

When Chuntao came, she first looked at the room on the east side, but saw that the door was locked.

Mrs. Chen said, "Miss Chuntao is here. What a coincidence, the fourth younger brother and younger sister went out with the fourth younger brother today, and they said they were going to visit an old gentleman."

"It's a coincidence that I came here. Since the fourth lady and the uncle are not here, there is trouble with Mrs. Qing. This is a post from my second wife to the fourth lady. I invite the fourth lady to go to the lake on the outskirts of the city. There will be other female guests at that time. In addition, there is another happy event, brother Cong from the eldest girl's family came to Fucheng for the Zhushan Literature Society. I haven't seen you for many years, and the eldest girl is also thinking about the fourth girl."

Sending Chuntao away, Mrs. Chen read the post, and the trip to the lake was scheduled for three days later.

Chen Shi originally felt that the Jiang family's sudden initiative to resume their relationship with Jiang Jinshu was worth pondering, but now that the son of the eldest daughter of the Jiang family has come to Fucheng, she is even more suspicious.

The Chen family didn't know much about the Jiang family, but some things were obvious. For example, there were news about the two girls who were married to the Jiang family a few years before their marriage, but there was no news after that, as if they had never existed.Outsiders don't know what's inside, they only know that there were New Year's Eve things going around at the beginning, and then they disappeared.

As a result, the Chen family didn't know the situation of the eldest daughter of the Jiang family for a while.

However, Miss Jiang married the second son of a fifth-rank official family back then. Now that 20 years have passed, it should be different from what it used to be.

On the Zhang family's side, the process of appreciating teachers went smoothly.

Jiang Jinshu stayed in the inner courtyard and did not witness Gu Ting's apprenticeship with her own eyes, but she used her spiritual sense.

In addition to Zhang Tai sitting upright, there are also Zhang Tai's younger brother Su Yong, Zhang Jie, the second master of the Zhang family, Zhang Ming, the eldest son of the Zhang family master, and several teachers from Zhushan Academy, and several elders in the Zhang family. But there are still a few who are obviously officials. After listening to the conversation, I know that the most authoritative one is Yao Jin, the magistrate of Yongyang Prefecture.

It can be seen that Zhangtai is indeed not easy to let the magistrate come to watch the ceremony in person.

Gu Ting had been instructed earlier, and followed the ritual step by step, and the master-student relationship was officially established.Zhangtai introduced someone to him, and they met each other briefly. Zhangtai didn't say anything else, and Gu Ting stood behind Zhangtai the whole time.Even though Gu Ting has almost no sense of existence, he doesn't dare to wander, and he doesn't find it hard, but rather interesting.

Zhangtai didn't tell him, so he didn't mention to leave, just listening to his teacher talking to those people.

Gu Ting is very intelligent, but he used to have a pure mind, coupled with his immature mind, he never thought about complicated human affairs.Now his brain is getting better. Apart from his passion for reading, his favorite thing is to think about people.He found that many people spoke differently, and the expressions on their faces were very rich and interesting. Sometimes he didn't listen to what others said, but only looked at the expressions of the other person, and he could figure out the other person's true thoughts.This is like winning a prize in a riddle, which is particularly rewarding.

Seeing these visitors today, Dean Su and the gentlemen are fine, but the prefect Yao is different.

Prefect Yao talked a lot, but Gu Ting seemed to have nothing to do with it, but he couldn't resist thinking about it again and again, thinking that he meant something else.There were also a lot of words about the affairs of the court, which he knew nothing about, so he couldn't help lowering his brows and feeling unhappy.

He felt that what he knew and felt was still too little, and reading alone was not enough.

Jiang Jinshu looked at it with her spiritual sense, paying attention to the details, not to mention that her attention was mostly on Gu Ting, so she naturally found the thought flashing in Gu Ting's eyes from time to time.Knowing how to think and how to think deeply is a sign of becoming more and more mature.Maybe Gu Ting didn't notice it, but Jiang Jinshu guessed that Gu Ting's performance before and after this apprenticeship banquet was under Zhangtai's inspection, because occasionally Zhangtai would visit Gu Ting in a casual manner.

For a while, she couldn't figure out Zhangtai's intentions, but it should be a good thing, after all, the status has been determined.

Zhangtai was accepting disciples, and many people were asking about Gu Ting's details.

At the front table, prefect Yao's progress was not going well, but in the inner courtyard, the prefect's wife was pleasantly surprised.

"Ms. Ting's maiden name is Jiang, and my second uncle is the magistrate of Jiang County in Qingshui County?" In fact, the magistrate's wife has confirmed her identity, but she didn't expect to meet her today. time.Previously, I spent a lot of trouble with the second wife of Jiang's family in order to meet each other logically, who knows that this is the fate.

"Exactly." Jiang Jinshu used her spiritual sense to follow Mrs. Zhou to the magistrate's yamen, so she naturally recognized the magistrate's wife.

"It's really a coincidence." The magistrate's wife smiled more and more softly, and took off the jasper bead string on her wrist and gave it to her: "It's just an ordinary one, I like it when I see you, not to mention that our two families have some reasons. There will be happy events in a few days."

Jiang Jinshu didn't understand what the other party meant, although she didn't want to be rewarded for nothing, but in such a situation, a strong refusal would hurt the face of the magistrate's wife, and it would be of no benefit to herself.

Mrs. Zhang asked, "What happy event?"

The magistrate's wife smiled and said: "Our eldest daughter-in-law's natal sister has agreed on the date of marriage, and the Jiang family in Qingshui County happened to be the second brother of the natal lady's family. Old lady, what a coincidence."

"This is really a coincidence." Mrs. Zhang had been in Beijing with Zhangtai before, but after she came back, she also heard a lot of things.For example, the eldest daughter-in-law of the magistrate's family is praised by many people, and naturally they have heard a few things about the other's natal family.

The Jin family was defeated, but there was an old in-law of the magistrate, so marrying his daughter to the second son of the county magistrate of Qingshui County was not considered a low marriage.If the son gets married, it's a different matter.

As for some of the Jiang family's family affairs, the Zhang family didn't know much about it. At first they focused on inquiring about the Gu family.He only knew a thing or two about Jiang Jinshu, some of her rumors, and some of the actions of the Jiang family after she got married.

The Zhang family is different from outsiders. They feel that the Jiang family's family style is not very good. Jiang Jinshu is a married woman. She really broke up with her. The pain is only temporary.
