Chapter 132

Xianglan and Chunzhu were led by Xiaocai to eat in the servant's room, and Gao Zhao and the others were in the shed, setting up a round table full of dishes, all carefully prepared.

Gao Zhaoxi beamed with joy, he had never eaten every dish, and it tasted so good.

Yu Qingwa bulged her cheeks whenever she ate, and she looked very delicious. Gao Zhao liked to eat with such people the most, and had a good time.

Jia Xibei saw that everyone was eating delicious food, and Gao Zhao praised it, happily saying that he would come to her place to play in the future, and no one nodded except Yu Qingwa.

Gao Zhao was embarrassed, why did she keep going to other people's houses just to eat, Wu Yingchun tried to keep her mouth shut today, besides, she was going back to Beijing soon, Qian Yulan and Jia Xibei didn't know each other well, and she knew that Jia Xibei was watching Gao Zhao He only greeted her on the face, so naturally he would not agree.

"Okay? Sister Zhao, come to my place to play in the future, there are still a lot of delicious things to cook."

"When everyone is free, how can you say that the sky is coming? Everyone has something to do, you can go to my house."

Jia Xibei thought for a while and said, "Well, next time I go to your house, I'll buy something for my aunt to make, otherwise I'm too embarrassed to go to your house for nothing."

"My aunt likes you. It's not for nothing. You will be very happy when you go to my aunt."

"Anyway, you are at home every day. If I am bored, I will go to your house and bring this little girl you mentioned. Oh, it's best not to follow me after the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Hearing what she said, Yu Qingwa pouted her lips, tears were about to flow, Jia Xibei saw it, good guy, don't cry at the dinner table with a square mouth, and quickly laughed like Gao Zhao: "Sister Yu, I said just for fun, when you want to come, come together."

But I thought in my heart, it’s fine if I don’t tell you when the time comes, then Yu Qingwa laughed, took another meatball and ate it, Jia Xibei was sobbing when she saw it, other dishes didn’t count, she would eat the meatball I ate four of them, and I really have a good appetite.

After finishing eating, the bowls and plates on the table were put away, and tea was served again. Could this be sweet water, fragrant clear tea, and a maid was making tea at another small table, one after another process, Gao Zhao was stunned to see it Yes, the tea ceremony.

"Sister Jia, is this how you usually drink tea?"

"No way, this is to serve my cousin. I borrowed it today. My maid is not capable of this."

Obediently, Gao Zhao opened his eyes wide and watched, the maid's fluent movements, heard them talking, didn't react at all, and concentrated on doing her own thing.

It seems that Jia Xibei's uncle is a kind of honeypot, so why did he come here?Can't figure it out.

Unable to figure it out, Gao Zhao and the others dispersed, and when they got home, they wanted to gossip with Auntie, but after thinking about it, Auntie's curiosity is stronger than her, and if she asks around, it will cause trouble for the family. up.

But she didn't know that her father couldn't figure it out even in the yamen.

Gao Wenlin was not familiar with Beijing at all, and the Gao family knew that outsiders knew it, and he was not sure about his guess last time, so he continued to secretly inquire about the old lady Jia's natal family. The Jia family only has one nephew of the old lady Jia. In Beijing, I heard that he was an old dude who didn't do business. The old concubine had a niece who died after she married, and the rest of the Jia family were all in their hometown.

The old concubine Jia came from Datong, Shanxi. In the Jia family, because the old concubine Jia became a rich family, except for those who took the exam, the old concubine Jia did not let her family members come to Beijing. Only her nephew came to Beijing early in the morning, and then married a wife and had children. .

Gao Wenlin saw that Mr. Jia didn't match up with that old dude, and after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't figure out who Mr. Jia was.

I also found out that there was a professor Jia in the Imperial College, who happened to be from Datong Prefecture, but I didn't hear that it was from the old concubine Jia's family, but thinking about it, Mr. Jia might be this Professor Jia. The person who inquired said that Professor Jia has not been there recently. In school, I don't know anything else.

Gao Wenlin thought that Mr. Jia was Professor Jia. Maybe he made a mistake and was sent here to teach. Seeing him teach students, although he is good, he is not like the professor of the Imperial College. It is probably because he is so loose that he angered his superiors. , was sent away.

Thinking about it this way, Gao Wenlin made sense. To be able to be a professor in the Imperial College, he must have lived in the capital for several generations, so Mr. Jia's family must have a lot of people, and a young nephew is justified.Otherwise, if she was from the old concubine Jia's family, she wouldn't come to this small place to learn from her teacher. If Beijing wants to find a teacher, why don't you let the Jia family choose.

……

Just entered August, Gao Cui went shopping in the street in the afternoon, in fact, he was preparing for tomorrow's lunch, Gao Wenlin will rest tomorrow, and the two sons and daughters will have dinner at Gao's house, Gao Cui is still thinking about what his niece said about wrapping miscellaneous grains with yellow millet Gao Zhao had forgotten about making cakes, but Auntie was still thinking about it.

Gao Zhao thinks that she loves to mess around so much, maybe she has inherited a part of her aunt in her blood, no wonder she has always been so close to her aunt, and they are all the same.

But Gao Zhao didn't know that Auntie still remembered this.

Gao Cui, who came back from the street, brought back news that the eldest lady of the Qian family, that is, Qian Yulan, was engaged today, the man was from Beijing, and the Qian family had an aunt who married to Beijing and brought him with her.

Outsiders don't know the specifics, gossip people ask if Mrs. Qian has shown up, but there are six old ladies in the Qian family, so things about the Qian family are rarely reported, and even the aunt is unknown to outsiders.

When Gao Cui came back, she saw her eldest niece was in the house of her siblings, put down her things and hurried into the house.

"Juanniang, Zhao'er, do you know that Yulan is going to marry in Beijing, and today the man came to make a decision, and the word spread on the street, several carriages came, and the dowry gifts were all in one car, Zhao'er, here Is there something? Otherwise, why would people from Beijing come to us to marry a wife?"

The Jiang family was also surprised, the Qian family was only an aunt in the capital, but the Qian family was considered a rich family in Wucheng County, but there was only a Qian county captain, a junior who hadn't made it, how could Yulan marry in the capital? ?Could it be that the man...

Gao Cui also thought of this point, a normal family is still an official, and would never marry a wife in a small place, unless there is a problem with the candidate.

Gao Zhao saw that his sister had just been carried into the house and fell asleep, so he told the story that the man was crippled.

Gao Cui looked sympathetic, and Jiang's expression sank.

"It's a pity. I said how could a good family come to us to pick a wife. It's a pity that Yulan, what a good little lady, it's just like this..., alas! Poor."

Gao Zhao hurriedly said: "Mother, Auntie, I have known this for a long time, but I haven't made up my mind, so it's hard to say it. Sister Qian said that it was her aunt who led the thread. Her aunt is not a bad person, so she won't harm you She, in my opinion, is better than letting her mother marry her casually, and her aunt will take care of her in Beijing, and Sister Qian is capable, so her husband's family will definitely like her by then."

It's all settled, no matter how regretful it is, Gao Cui also understands this, and immediately said: "That's right, it's better than being sold by her mother, Zhaoer, aren't you familiar with Mrs. Jia? Let Mrs. Jia go more often in the future." Look at Yulan, at least she has someone to associate with, Jia's family looks like a big family, and Yulan's husband's family will look up to her when the time comes."
