Spring Girl's Notes

The old man kept urging her with letters. As a son and daughter-in-law, it would be unfilial to refuse to go north against the old man's wishes.

Besides, the old man didn't harm them.

But the whole family went north, what about the house on the Yanling Mansion?

There are hundreds of servants in the inner and outer courtyards of Manjiazi, how can people without control do it?

If Gu Yanzhen's family moved back to the capital, these servants could be sold or sent to Zhuangzi, but it didn't bother them at all.

But they are just going to visit relatives, and they will be back in half a year at most.

Or sold, or repatriated, and where to buy these used ones?

Song Pan'er and Gu Yanzhen had the same meaning, none of the servants in the family wanted to leave.

"Let Mother Song and Haitang take care of it..." Gu Yanzhen advised Song Pan'er, "It's not like they always help you?"

He only studies, and he has nothing to do with the affairs of the inner and outer courtyards, the fields, or the shop. Naturally, he doesn't know the difficulties in the process.

Song Pan'er is very clear.

She shook her head: "Look at Song Mama and Haitang's strength, it's because I'm backing them. I'm sitting on the banner, and the two of them are doing things, and they always have some gossip. If I'm not at home, they are not the master. Where can the tricky ones be under their control?"

There needs to be a master sitting in charge.

Gu Yanzhen thought of Hong Lian.

"It's better to bring Aunt Hong back and take care of the family affairs for now..." Gu Yanzhen blurted out.

After finishing speaking, he felt a little regretful, with a cautious look in his eyes.

Song Pan'er's heart was cold at first, but her face was quiet, with a rare calmness, and she explained to Gu Yanzhen: "She is a fool herself, what can she do? She is lucky if she doesn't cause trouble, and you still count on her? You forgot Xiu brothers……"

"That's right, that's right, I'm also confused, I shouldn't have mentioned this." Gu Yanzhen said hastily, remembering Gu Xiuzhi's illness.

Hong Lian denied it.

Song Pan'er's natal brothers and sisters-in-law are not bad, but they just leave the family property to others to see.Song Pan'er felt uncomfortable.

Do the math.There is no one to trust.

"When I come back from the capital, I'll make love for brother Xiu first, and marry a daughter-in-law earlier, so that there will be no one available at home." Song Pan'er sighed.

Gu Yanzhen smiled and said yes, but she was thinking in her heart, brother Xiu was not born in your womb after all, are you worried about his wife?

The couple discussed for a long time.Still can't come to an idea.

It was almost evening, and Gu Jinzhi's siblings came to say hello.

Song Pan'er told them about her decision to go to Beijing.

Then he said to Gu Jinzhi: "Mother's yard, the yard of your two younger brothers, and your father's study room all have to be taken care of by my mother. I'm afraid I won't be too busy. I will leave all the affairs in your own yard to you." .Who to take and who to stay to see the portal. It’s up to you to decide. Take what you should collect, bring what you should bring, and just hand over the account book to me.”

Gu Jinzhi said yes.

The decision was a bit sudden.

She agreed first, and then asked: "Why don't we wait for spring next year, when the glaciers unfreeze before heading north? It's a cold winter, and the road is inconvenient, and it will be the end of the new year."

"Just because of your third brother's big day, your grandfather wrote a special letter. Let's go back." Song Pan'er said. "I checked the almanac, and it's a good day to travel. If the road is fast, we can reach the capital on New Year's Eve."

Gu Jinzhi smiled and said nothing more.

She knew her mother was optimistic.

If they can reach the capital at the end of the first lunar month, it all depends on the weather along the way, and it is impossible before New Year's Eve.

The farther north you go, the more snow and snow in the twelfth lunar month; those who go to Beijing to report on their work, those who send New Year's goods to their masters in the south, and those who are officials from other places rushing back to celebrate the New Year, I am afraid that the vehicles, horses and boats will be very crowded, and it will be difficult to travel by water and land.

It is absolutely impossible to arrive smoothly before New Year's Eve.

After everyone had dinner and dispersed, Song Pan'er left Gu Jinzhi to talk again.

"...Your grandfather sent letters quickly, two letters in a row, urging us to go to Beijing." She showed the letter to Gu Jinzhi, "Today is already the fifteenth day, and the departure time is twenty, so the time is very short.

You put your homework aside tomorrow, and everything in the yard must be properly arranged, and you can't delay it.Eighteenth and nineteenth, we have to be separate from our relatives and neighbors, lest others make random guesses for no reason. "

Song Pan'er didn't want to be told anything wrong by outsiders.

Gu Jinzhi's eyes fell on his grandfather's letter, and he didn't move away for a long time.

The contents of the two short letters were almost the same, but she read them for a long time.

She has been studying with her grandfather for the past two years, and she knows him better than anyone in the family.

She is even more familiar with her grandfather's handwriting.

Judging from the grandfather's handwriting, when he wrote, he was in a very restless mood, even a little impatient, and the subtleties of the words were revealed.

Gu Jinzhi thought of his grandfather rushing to Beijing again.

Sure enough, there is something big going on in Jingli.

After a while, Gu Jinzhi turned his mind around, smiled and said to his mother: "Don't worry, I will take care of it."

Song Pan'er patted her hand lightly.

To go to Beijing, the whole family was going there, and the time was short. Song Pan'er had to set aside two days to visit relatives and friends, and gave New Year's gifts in advance.

The whole family is too busy to touch the ground.

There was no suspense in Gu Jinzhi's yard.

Nishang's face was disfigured and she was still recovering, so it was impossible for her to follow Gu Jinzhi.Even if she didn't lose her appearance, Gu Jinzhi wasn't going to take her with her.Nishang has a pungent personality, and can calm down the people in the courtyard. When Gu Jinzhi leaves, her courtyard will need more people like Nishang.

I wish my mother is old, has seen a lot of worlds, and can take care of Gu Jinzhi on the way, she will definitely go with Gu Jinzhi.

Also bring two big maids.

Zhilei, Youhe and Weirui had a hard time making a choice.

"Girl, I will stay and be with Nishang." Zhilei said proactively.

She has a deep bond with Nishang.

Gu Jinzhi agreed.

The rest, except for a few books, what to bring, what to put away, are all arranged by Zhu's mother, and Gu Jinzhi doesn't care.

On the mother's side, because of Mama Song and Haitang, she acted swiftly and resolutely, even faster than Gu Jinzhi.

Regarding how to take care of the courtyard, Song Pan'er also thought of a way.

The accounts of the Zhuangzi and the shop are managed by their respective stewards in advance, and they will not be accounted for years ago, until Song Pan'er comes back.

Things at home are also separated.

There is a small kitchen in each yard, where the firewood, rice, oil and salt are divided, and each room eats and lives separately, and they are not related to each other.Each courtyard has a steward, and everything is obeyed by the steward of each courtyard.

In addition, please invite the eldest aunt, Mrs. Song, and the chief steward, Sun Yutang.And manage the affairs of the house.

Such an arrangement.It was also Song Pan'er's good intentions.

Gu Jinzhi thought of the contract responsibility system of later generations...

Divide the things in the mansion into pieces, specific to each yard.It is indeed easier to manage affairs and only take care of a few people in his small yard.

Her mother is excellent in managing personnel.

After the family affairs were handled quickly and effectively, Song Pan'er took the whole family to the Song family's New Year's Ceremony.

Mrs. Song set up a banquet.Give them practice.

Second cousin Song Yanzhao heard that Gu Jinzhi was leaving, so he quietly pulled her sleeve and asked her to follow him to the yard to talk.

Gu Jinzhi got up and followed him out.

Mrs. Song saw it and pretended not to know.

Everyone pretended not to see it.

Song Yanzhao gave Gu Jinzhi a monkey carved from sandalwood: "... During the Lantern Festival, we were joking. You said you like wood carving. I thought you were a monkey, so I wanted to learn wood carving for your birthday." Li. How would you know, this thing is very difficult to learn, and sir, he has a lot of homework, and it took him a year to do this..."

In fact, he did a lot of them.

He learns things and is very talented.

One was made in April, and it was going to be given to Gu Jinzhi.

It's just that the words come to my lips, and I feel that they are not perfect.Needs to be refined.

carved.It's broken...

Had to do it all over again.

After all, this was the first gift he gave Gu Jinzhi.

If she accepts it, does that count as accepting his wish?

So he hesitated to speak a few days ago.He always wanted to give something to Gu Jinzhi, but then he didn't say anything, making everyone notice it.

Song Yanzhao was very nervous at the moment, and handed the wood carving to Gu Jinzhi.

The sunlight of Dongyue was sparse, and the frivolous chill flowed through his fingers.

He didn't feel it himself, but his fingers were still trembling a little, he didn't know if it was from nervousness or from the cold...

Gu Jinzhi laughed, wrapped his palm, wrapped the wood carving in his own palm, and then pushed his hand back.

"You don't know, I can't smell sandalwood?" She lied, "I'm indeed a monkey, but I can't look like a monkey! I'm very grateful for your kindness, thank you second cousin."

Then he took two steps back, blessed his body, and bowed to him.

"It's too cold outside. I've only eaten hot food and hot dishes. It's not good to hurt my food from the cold. I'll go back first." Gu Jinzhi smiled, and turned back first.

He was straightforward, without any hesitation in fear of Song Yanzhao's sadness.

Song Yanzhao stood there in a daze, without moving his feet for a while.

The lifelike monkey carved from sandalwood in his hand stung his palm.

He could understand what Gu Jinzhi meant.

Gu Jinzhi rejected him.

His eyes are a little sore.

In the end, the banquet was over, and Gu Jinzhi went home with his parents, acting the same as usual, nothing unusual.

Song Yanzhao didn't come back either.

Song Pan'er watched without saying a word, for fear that Gu Jinzhi didn't understand these things at first, but would be aroused by what he said.

On Mrs. Song's side, she felt a little distressed.

"Sister Jin is not a beautiful daughter-in-law, but she is not stupid either. She is quiet and understands in her heart, so she is a good daughter-in-law." Mrs. Song murmured to Sun's mother next to her, "It's just Pan, this aunt has everything. You have to be strong, I can't stand her as an in-law with her."

"Miss Biao doesn't mean that much either." Ms. Sun said with a smile, "Miss Biao probably knows that the second young master will take an exam next year, but it doesn't delay him..."

Although she didn't like this marriage, Mrs. Song was not happy when her son was rejected.

Mama Sun's words made her even more uncomfortable.

She drank the tea in silence.

Mother Sun also regretted that she had said the wrong thing, and stood aside in embarrassment.

Song Pan'er didn't know about this.

She has been excluded from her choice of husband by the children of the Song family.

On the nineteenth day of the winter month, the day before leaving, Song Pan'er took Gu Jinzhi to visit the princess again.

** When the princess heard that they were going to Beijing, she said with a smile, "What a coincidence? Mr. Chen is also going, and he is scheduled to leave in the next few days. You can get together and be a companion on the road."
