Spring Girl's Notes

Gu Jinzhi followed his mother, Song Pan'er, to the east room of the aunt's main courtyard. She was also a little surprised to see the fifth sister, Wen Wanzhenjing, following behind her aunt.

Early in the morning, the eldest brother Gu Chenzhi went to the Ministry of Rites to collect the money for the spring festival reward and came back.

This is an annual rule.

Every year on New Year's Eve, the imperial court will give a sum of money to the meritorious nobles and officials at all levels in Beijing to use in the sacrifices of the ancestral hall.

The elder brother showed it to the uncle first, and then brought it in and handed it to the aunt for safekeeping.

It was packed in a yellow cloth bag with the words "Huang En Yongxi" and "Priest of the Ministry of Rites" written on it.

In front of Song Pan'er and the second aunt, the eldest aunt opened her pocket to look.

She counted and said to Gu Chenzhi: "Three times more than last year..."

Gu Chenzhi couldn't hide the joy on his face, and said to the lady with a smile: "Yes! Last year I still got the title reward from my grandfather, this year not only from my father, but also from my third uncle; the other reward is about watching The lady in the palace, reward the second uncle."

That is to say, the three heads of the Gu family and the old man all have spring festival rewards.

The second lady's obscure face suddenly brightened.She also stepped forward with a smile, took a few glances, and said to the eldest lady: "Our family does not lack these silver sacrifices, but after all, it is the emperor's favor, and the affection is extraordinary."

The eldest lady laughed: "That's exactly what I said."

Then I asked someone to take it away and put it away.After the new year, after the sacrifices are over, if there is any leftover, it will be distributed to each house.

Several uncles have opened the ancestral hall outside and placed offerings.After tidying up, we invited our ancestors and god masters.

Only wait for the old man to come before the sacrifice begins.

The old man did not come with Gu Yanzhen and the others.

When Gu Yanzhen got up early to ask, he said, "You guys go there first. There will be a whole morning of preparations over there. Wait until the preparations are almost ready, and then call someone to invite me."

By noon, everything in the mansion was ready.

New peach charms were repainted, door gods and couplets were changed, and tall lanterns were hung everywhere from the inner courtyard to the outer courtyard.In the early morning, all the lanterns were lit.

The master of the family is a servant.Everyone changed into new clothes.

The Eldest Master personally led the Eldest Young Master Gu Chenzhi.Went to the mansion over there and picked up the old man.

When the old man arrived, everyone went to the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors.

The old man Gu Shifei was the officiant, and the elder Gu Yantao accompanied the sacrifice.The rest of the men.They all follow the second master.Either offer a noble or a silk.Or holding incense.

Gu Jinzhi's two younger brothers, Brother Xiu and Brother Xuan, followed the third brother, Gu Qingzhi, to clean up the prayer blanket. The two little guys had serious expressions.He looks like an adult.

Song Pan'er watched inside and couldn't help smiling.

After the old man and others finished offering incense, the aunt led all the female relatives to set out the offerings.

The only girls in the family who have not left the court are Gu Jinzhi and Fifth Sister.

The two of them followed the third grandma Xia, passing tea.

When everything was ready, the ceremony began.

Men from east to west and women from west to west knelt three times and kowtowed nine times, performing the sacrificial ceremony.

The old man turned around, glanced at his children and grandchildren, and suddenly felt that there were very few people in the family.

In the past in Yanling Mansion, Gu Yanzhen's family was the only one who worshiped the ancestors on the [-]th year, so he didn't think so.

Now, instead, I lament that my children and grandchildren are not prosperous.

There is only brother Chen in the first room, brother Qing and sister Po in the second room, and slightly more people in the third room, but they are all young men.

After the sacrifice, lunch was served in the main courtyard.

The old man ate along with him.

After the meal, a stage was set up in the mansion here, and everyone listened to the play.

The old man will go back first.

Song Pan'er and others also want to go back.

"After dinner." The eldest lady held Song Pan'er's hand and said, "I'm not in vain to keep you guys. The dinner will be held early in the evening, and you can go back after eating. I know that you will also enter the palace to congratulate tomorrow. ..."

Gu Yanzhen and Song Pan'er won the titles. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, they had to go to the palace to congratulate them, and they had to get up at five o'clock in the morning. It was indeed not appropriate to make a fuss too late.

"I have something to do at home..." Song Pan'er laughed, "It's not like I'm flying, so there will be fewer days to eat in the future?"

"It's been many years, and we haven't spent New Year's Eve together." The eldest lady said with a smile, "If I didn't have to go to the palace tomorrow morning to celebrate, I would have kept you both to watch the new year."

Song Pan'er couldn't escape it.

The old man insisted on not wanting to catch up with the excitement.

The eldest lady didn't dare to keep him longer.

Gu Jinzhi said: "I will go back with my grandfather..."

Finally, she followed the old man back home.

In the afternoon, at the old house, the mother next to the eldest aunt suddenly brought food for Gu Jinzhi and the old man to eat.

The old man's outer study is at the far west of the west garden of the outer courtyard, next to the back garden of the Nanchang Prince's Mansion, and is the most secluded.

Over there, everyone in the Nanchang Mansion went into the palace to accompany the Empress Dowager to watch the new year, and the mansion over there was also quiet.

Gu Jinzhi clothed the dishes and had dinner with the old man.

"Grandfather, what volume is your book written in?" Gu Jinzhi asked the old man.

The old man said: "This is the last volume. After the Dragon Boat Festival next year, I can finish this volume."

Then I thought about it, and said to Gu Jinzhi, "Sister Jin, your medical skills are not learned by the Gu family. I don't ask too much. After the new year, you have to put aside your trivial matters. I want to open the museum for a year , you will be my apprentice. When I go in the future, my mantle will be passed on to you."

This is the first time that the old man has officially spoken to Gu Jinzhi about passing on the mantle.

Every family's family education needs to be inherited.

Craftsmanship is unlike any other.

It is difficult to comprehend the core essentials just by looking at the medical records, such as pulse consultation. It needs to be taught by hand, like a craftsman.

The clinic opens for registration, and patients come to visit for consultation. The master uses the most personal diagnosis to teach his children.

But Gu Jinzhi will soon no longer belong to the Gu family...

"Grandfather, can I do it?" Gu Jinzhi said, "Brother Xuan is getting old, why don't you let him learn from you, and I will help me remember, so I can mention him in the future..."

The chopsticks in the old man's hand paused.

After a long while, he sighed slowly, and said, "I'm afraid it's too late. I've done my best to last until next spring. You have studied medicine books with me for several years, and you know how to pass on the knowledge of the Gu family. I will teach you the essentials of Gu’s pulse medicine for another year. After I go, whether you pass it on to your brother or nephew, do as you like.”

He wanted to use Gu Jinzhi as a bridge.

Gu Jinzhi's heart was shocked.

She remembered the year before her grandfather's death in her previous life, and she also told her the same way: I will teach you for another year, and the Gu family's medical skills will be passed on to you.We, the Gu family, have flourished since the Jin and Yuan Dynasties to the present. You are the third generation heir of No.20 and the only female disciple.

After a year, grandpa really passed away.

When Gu Jinzhi was about to die, she could also estimate the approximate date of her own death.

So she knows.The old man didn't lie to her.He is about to go.

No wonder he worked so hard to write books these days.

He wanted to pass on what he had learned all his life.

Gu Jinzhi's eye sockets became wet.

The old man smiled instead: "Why are you crying? Grandpa didn't go there after tonight. There is still a year to go, so you have to be careful. Family learning is passed on from male to female. It is in my hands. I am sorry for my ancestors." .”

"I... I don't belong to the family tree." Gu Jinzhi wiped away his tears.It took a long while to calm down, and he said to the old man, "You taught me. I will hand over the number of breaths to Brother Xuan, and let him inherit your mantle."

This is the rule.

The family education of each family is not passed on to the younger brothers.

If Gu Jinzhi is passed down, it will be difficult to record her in the Gu family tree in the future.

The old man disagreed: "...I have wronged you so much."

"I'm from the Gu family." Gu Jinzhi said, "What kind of grievance is this? I also learned your skills..."

As he spoke, his voice choked up.

The old man laughed again and told her not to cry: "No one can escape this life, old age, sickness and death. In the future, you will go, and your children and grandchildren will also go to the meeting, but whoever goes first, who goes last. It is not worth it to be sad .”

Gu Jinzhi's tears suddenly followed the broken beads, falling even harder.

The bitterness in her heart was no less than when her grandfather left her.

The old man laughed, and coaxed her a few more words: "Don't cry. Let's watch the New Year tonight."

At the beginning of Xu, Gu Yanzhen and Song Pan'er finally brought Brother Xuan and Brother Xiu back to the mansion.

Gu Yanzhen first went to the main courtyard to see Xiao Shi and Xiao Eleven, and then came to the old man's small study in the outer courtyard, and talked to the old man: "We are also setting up a stage show in front, and the troupe will be ready in the morning, and you will follow us to have fun... ..." Seeing Gu Jinzhi's red eyes, Gu Yanzhen was surprised, "Sister Jin is crying?"

"No." Gu Jinzhi covered it up.

Gu Yanzhen looked hard at her face.

The old man coughed lightly, and said, "Let's have fun. I'll talk to Sister Jin..."

Gu Yanzhen asked not to move, and went back to the main courtyard.

Song Pan'er came to invite her in person again: "I know you are afraid of noise, so we came here specially. In the past years, in Yanling Mansion, there was also a place to watch the new year. Why do you want to be alone when you arrive in Beijing? You are deserted, and we are so lively in our hearts." disturbed……"

In the end, the old man was moved by Song Pan'er and went to the front to listen to the play.

At the beginning of the Hai Dynasty, Song Pan'er couldn't bear it anymore.

Brother Xuan and Brother Xiu had already gone to sleep in the warm pavilion in the main courtyard.

Gu Yanzhen also yawned again and again.

Only Gu Jinzhi and the old man were not sleepy at all.

The maids waited for Song Pan'er to go in, and only Gu Yanzhen and Gu Jinzhi were outside to accompany the old man to the opera.

The old man seemed to be fascinated, and gradually became spiritual.

Gu Jinzhi looked at his side face, tears came up again.

It turned out that in a different life, it was still difficult for her to accept the parting of her relatives.

When it was Zishi and the New Year was coming, Gu Jinzhi and the others went to sleep.

The small side room next to the main courtyard had already been tidied up, so the old man didn't go out and rested in the side room.

Gu Yanzhen personally sent Gu Jinzhi to her yard again.

Gu Jinzhi said no.

Gu Yanzhen said: "In the middle of the night, you are accompanied by maids and women. If you can't hold back, you will easily get mad. Daddy will walk with you for a while..."

Gu Jinzhi walked in silence.

After a while, Gu Yanzhen heard her sniffling.

She cried again.

The next day, just after the five drums were beaten, Gu Yanzhen and Song Pan'er got up and went to the palace to congratulate them.

There was a banquet in the palace at noon, and after dinner, I went to the old house to worship the ancestors, and then went home.

Gu Jinzhi also got up early, received the gift from the maids and wives, and distributed red envelopes to them.

In the afternoon, Qin Shensi came to pay New Year's greetings.

He had counted on the Gu family's return from the palace, so he came to pay New Year's greetings.
