There is a fairy wife at home [Red Mansion]

Three days later, Jiang Jinshu went to Li's house.

The Li family has a small population, but because Li Hanlin had married two wives successively, it was not peaceful inside.Although the current old lady of the Li family doesn't care about the family, she clearly prefers her eldest grandson, because Li Zhengliang's biological mother was chosen by her herself, and she is also her natal niece, which is quite different.

The later Mrs. Li, no matter what she looked like on the inside, was a bowl of water on the outside, and she was famous for being dignified and virtuous.Because of this, Mrs. Li didn't show any shame to her. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are considered to be in harmony. The words, the youngest daughter-in-law of the direct relative, go in the left ear and out the right ear.

Mrs. Li was already upset, but her youngest daughter-in-law suddenly fell ill a few days ago.

I thought it was a real illness, seeing the person's pale face, lying on the bed and unable to get up, I hurriedly asked the doctor for diagnosis and treatment, but the doctor's words were very vague, and most of the prescriptions prescribed were warming and nourishing.Mrs. Li, who has spent most of her life in the inner house, still can't understand?This is pretending to be sick!

The night before last, Mrs. Li sent someone to tell her that if her illness got worse, she would have to use some harsh medicine.

Waking up early in the morning, the second grandmother of the Li family sat up helplessly, and a haggard face was reflected in the mirror.

"Second Mistress is so sick, Madam, she is not very merciful." It was also in private that Cuizhu, the confidant maid who was married as a dowry, dared to complain for the master in a low voice.

Rosie knew that the wife insisted that she "get well" today because of today's plum feast.After reading the prescription, the wife decided that she was pretending to be sick, and other people in the house would think so, and ignored her at first, but on such an occasion today, she also pretended to be sick to hide, and the old lady got annoyed first.

But who knows, she didn't pretend to be sick on purpose, she was really scared.

Ever since she heard that Ma Daopo was taken to Jinyi Mansion for interrogation, she has been sitting on pins and needles every day, fearing that the previous incident would be revealed.Worrying and worrying day and night, she had just recovered from a minor illness and hadn't recuperated well, so naturally she couldn't get up.It was also because she was too arrogant and indulgent in the past, but now no one would believe her true illness, and she dared not tell anyone the truth inside.

When Jiang Jinshu arrived at the Li family and saw several female family members of the Li family, it was easy to see the true face of the second grandmother of the Li family.

Ma Daopo's facts are vicious, and Rosie's ruthlessness involves young children. Now she is frightened by this matter, but she dare not say it in the long run.

From Jiang Jinshu's point of view, there is nothing wrong with her wanting to fight, but what's the use of fighting with women and children?Even if Li Zhengliang's wife is gone, he can still remarry. Does she just keep going in circles like this?It's just chasing the end.It's better to look forward to Li Zhenghe's progress.

"This is Mrs. Gu? She looks so good, so imposing, I can't blame the Gu family for reading it all the time." The old lady of the Li family held Jiang Jinshu's hand affectionately, praised without hesitation, and joked. It can be seen that Li Hanlin is indeed She is very optimistic about Gu Ting, so the old lady called Gu Ting with an elder attitude.The old lady said to the other invited female guests: "You don't even know her. You may have heard of Gu Ting who often comes to our house with Zhang Lao Hanlin's grandson. This is his wife. Today is a lively day. , I invited her to come with me."

This was the official introduction of Jiang Jinshu.

Each family in the capital has its own circle, such as the Li family, most of the contacts are civil servants, perhaps not as prominent as the Rongguo Mansion, but absolutely noble, there are not only up-and-comers, but also a century-old scholarly family.

"The old lady is talking about the Gu Juren? Didn't he say that he lost his wife in his early years?" Someone blurted out a question, and then covered his mouth apologetically, as if he slipped his tongue.

Everyone here is not stupid, and there is no way to see that she is doing it on purpose.

Next year will be the year of the Grand Competition, and students from all over Beijing have poured in to prepare for the exam. Many students from all the houses here have come in and out, and they often talk to each other about the students.Some families with school-age daughters can't find good marriages in Beijing, so they have to target these people.Furthermore, it is not easy to study for the imperial examination. Generally speaking, people who have reached the level of the general examination are mostly in their 40s and [-]s, and they can be called young when they are in their thirties. It is conceivable that Gu Ting, Zhang Ming, etc. Candidates who are less than [-] years old receive more attention.

Gu Ting especially wins. He and Zhang Ming are both young and well-groomed. Although Zhang Ming has a better family background than him, Gu Ting is better educated.Furthermore, Zhang Ming is already married, but Gu Ting's wife is vacant. Although he has been married for one term, if he can get a good ranking in the exam, he can plan for the future.

Today's employing people are eclectic, and they even favor humble scholars.

The wives and grandmas here may not have such thoughts at home, but their relatives, friends and old friends may not.They acted as matchmakers, and also managed a network of contacts. Anyone who had an idea about Gu Ting's affairs had to inquire clearly, and even got the news from the Li family. Who would have thought that there would be a wife of Gu Ting today.

It was rumored that they heard about it before, and today they are just asking Mrs. Li for clarification.

Mrs. Li knew this, and so did Jiang Jinshu.

Mrs. Li said with a smile: "It's an anecdote, Mrs. Gu is also a blessed person who is protected by the Buddha."

Next, Mrs. Li told the whole story again, emphatically pointing out Taoist Master Qingfeng and Zen Master Dade, which also meant to support Jiang Jinshu positively.

"Sure enough, he is a blessed person!"

"It is said that if you survive a catastrophe, you will have a future blessing. Maybe this 'post-blessing' will be in the next spring."

At this time, no matter what they were thinking or thinking, everyone changed their mouths and laughed and praised.

Daoist Qingfeng has a high reputation among the people, but he hasn't shown his face for many years. He is a figure only in legends.Zen Master Dade is different. The monks in Yuanjue Temple are indeed famous for doing things, but it does not mean that the Dharma is not good. Several calls were made in the palace to ask Zen Master Dade to teach the Dharma to the old concubine in the palace.

The weight of such a great virtuous Zen master is naturally different.

After the plum feast, Jiang Jinshu's life didn't change much.

The Li family showed kindness and closeness, and it was just right for her to visit once a month.Gu Ting often hangs out with Li Zhengliang, so every time he goes to Li's house and sees Mrs. Li, she often hangs out with Li's grandma.The other party was a poetic and elegant woman, from a serious and scholarly family, and it was not bad for Jiang Jinshu to accompany her to talk about some poems and books.

However, she is still not very interested in this kind of communication and entertainment. If she discusses with others, she will not be bored for a few days.

Just at this moment, an unexpected visitor arrives.

"Senior Jiang, this junior, Yusu, is being polite." The person who came was He Yusu who had met once, from the perspective of pure heart.

Jiang Jinshu glanced at it, then said with a smile, "Congratulations to Fellow Daoist Yusu for successfully building his foundation."

At the beginning, it was clear that He Yusu was on the front line of the foundation establishment battle, but now three months have passed, and the foundation is indeed established.Let's see that she came out and walked around at this time, and her mana was stable all over her body, she must have been warmed up.Seeing that her cultivation momentum is so smooth, it is either because of her previous accumulation, or because of her excellent talent and understanding, she should be a key disciple cultivated by Qingxinguan.

Then, He Yusu, who had never met her before, must have something to convey when he came to find her.

Sure enough, before He Yusu sat still, he explained the purpose of coming: "Since the last time Master fought against monks and Taoists, until now, the temple has been looking for the two of them, but there has never been a trace. Even if they leave, they will definitely return. According to the information collected from the temple, monks and Taoists seem to be very concerned about the Rongguo Mansion. Originally, the Taoist priests planned to send people to get close to the Rongguo Mansion, but they were afraid of scaring the snake. Senior Jiang and Rongguo Mansion But the government has a long history, so I wonder if we can help each other?"

Apparently Qingxinguan also checked Jiang Jinshu's background and found out her relationship with the Rongguo Mansion.

Jiang Jinshu smiled faintly, "At least until next spring, I don't plan to meet the Rongguo Mansion face to face."

If it was possible, she would naturally want to pretend that that relationship didn't exist.But if Gu Ting is good at the test, the news will always be known to the Jia family.There are some things she feels, that Rongguo Mansion, she will go there in person one day.

He Yusu didn't seem surprised, nodded, and said: "Master respects Senior Jiang's meaning, but I'm just asking Senior Jiang to recommend you when the time comes, and Master arranges for Yusu to enter the Rongguo Mansion."

If they want to enter Rongguo Mansion, there will be feedback from the formation. I wonder if Xu Qingfeng will appear?

Jiang Jinshu also understood He Yusu's plan. There was a Grand View Garden in Rongguo Mansion, and there was a Quicui Nunnery in the Grand View Garden.There is already a young nun living in Quicui'an, so it is not impossible to live in another one.

only……

"Do you know that there is already an owner in the Cui Temple?" He Yusu must know this, Jiang Jinshu asked knowingly, and reminded the other party not to forget to consider Miaoyu's temperament.As far as Miaoyu's temperament is concerned, since she is here in Changcui'an, she is absolutely unwilling to let another person live with her.

A faint smile flashed across the corner of He Suyu's mouth, as if sarcasm: "The real owner is Rongguo Mansion, and Rongguo Mansion will not be unhappy as long as Senior Jiang builds a bridge."

He Yusu knew about Miaoyu's reputation, but whether the other party was willing to accept it was out of his consideration.He Yusu is not Miaoyu alone with nowhere to go, nor is she trying to curry favor with the Rongguo Mansion, she just wants to live in it, and she doesn't care about other people's senses at all.

Jiang Jinshu raised her eyebrows, smiled and didn't say much.

"Since that's the case, then follow the wishes of fellow Taoists."

In a blink of an eye, it was spring.

It's cold in the spring, but it's just when the general examination starts. Candidates in the north can't resist the cold, let alone scholars in the south.Now Gu Ting is not afraid. After all, he has a cultivation base, and he went to the Gongyuan with Zhang Ming and Li Zhengliang early in the morning with the bamboo basket he had prepared.Faced with such a climate, Zhang Ming and Li Zhengliang frowned frequently, worried that their bodies would not be able to support themselves, or that their handwriting would not be good due to the cold.

There are three exams in total, each three days.

Jiang Jinshu was not worried about Gu Ting.

Chang Le didn't know the inside story, and even when he was at home, he was worried all the time when he was sending and receiving the exam, and even wandered outside the Gongyuan from time to time.Every time he saw a candidate passed out and being carried out, Chang Le's heartbeat would speed up. Seeing that it was not Gu Ting, he breathed a sigh of relief, and soon began to feel uneasy again.

Jiang Jinshu didn't want to act too different, so she had to hide in the house, pretending to chant scriptures and pray.

After the three exams were over, Jiang Jinshu took Chang Le Xiaoxue to pick him up as soon as the gate of the Tribute Court opened.

Similarly, there are too many people coming to pick up candidates, and there are too many cars, and it is difficult to pass if you are far away.Jiang Jinshu stayed in the car, while Chang Le squeezed into the crowd. After a while, Chang Le finally saw Chang Le supporting Gu Ting back.

"My lady, the fourth master is here." Chang Le's face was full of joy, and he kept yelling all the way.

Xiaoxue immediately filled a bowl of the hot porridge prepared on the carriage, and said with a smile: "Fourth Master must be hungry, after being frozen for a few days, he just had something warm to eat to warm his stomach."

After this period of time, Xiaoxue gradually understood how to be a better maid, at least not to show her secrets in front of others.

Jiang Jinshu stretched out her hand to help, and after Gu Ting sat down, Chang Le drove home.

Xiaoxue frowned, and quietly turned her face away.

Jiang Jinshu smiled and said, "Why, it doesn't smell good."

Xiaoxue chuckled, lowered her head and said nothing.

Gu Ting also smiled: "I can't blame Xiaoxue, I look a bit sloppy."

After staying in the Gongyuan for several days, the clothes were not changed, the face was not washed, and there were stubbles.This is also in early spring, if it is midsummer, the smell on the body will be even stronger.Although Gu Ting has a way to clean himself up, but it is not easy to move, he can only behave like other candidates.Fortunately, he is not afraid of freezing, after all, he is much stronger.

There was no bigu during the qi refining period, and all I ate were cold pancakes for the past few days, and my stomach was really uncomfortable.Gu Ting took the hot porridge brought by Xiaoxue, and ate it after a few mouthfuls of steam.

When I got home, Chang Leben went to ask the doctor, but no matter what, the doctor had to look at it before I could feel at ease.

There is a shortage of doctors these two days, and it may not be possible to hire more money.

Jiang Jinshu didn't stop her, and let Chang Le go, and Chang Le came back half an hour later, with a really ashamed face.It didn't take much time, the Li family sent a doctor.In a family like the Li family, there are doctors who are often used every day, and they offer sacrifices every year, so the doctors are naturally close to the Li family.

The doctor showed it to Gu Ting, and said with a smile: "Master Juren is in good health, but he is a little tired, eat some hot food, and he will be fine after resting."

Gu Ting thanked him, and asked about Li Zhengliang and Zhang Ming's situation.

The doctor also knew about their relationship, otherwise the Li family would not have let him come over, so he said without hesitation: "The two uncles were very tired, and fell asleep after leaving the scene. It hurts the root. Now I have been prescribed warming and tonic medicine, and it will be fine after ten days and a half month."

Jiang Jinshu gave the doctor a tael of silver as a thank you.

The doctor refused to accept it: "Miss Gu doesn't need to spend money, the Li family has already paid for it."

Jiang Jinshu smiled and said, "If you're tired, you can go and have a cup of tea. It's also a favor for our fourth master."

When the doctor heard this, he smiled and accepted it: "Then I wish Master Gu a high school!"
