After drinking tea, I listened to a little song, and the girl who sang it suddenly became sad.

In her soft libretto, a bit of sadness was added.

A woman's husband died, her family property was taken by her family, she wandered around with a pair of children, and finally became a concubine for a wealthy businessman, and then bought the old woman and took over her children.

The teahouse was suddenly quiet, it was clearly midsummer, but from the sad lyrics, everyone could hear the coldness of the cold wind howling in the twelfth lunar month.

The unaccompanied widow, holding the hand of a young child, staggered against the wind, tears streaming down her face.

Gu Jinzhi and the old man listened to this story until the end.

The old man rewarded the singer with all the broken silver in his purse.

About four or five taels.

The girl came over to say thank you.

She has clear eyebrows and a shy smile.

"Where did you hear this story?" Gu Jinzhi asked her, "The wording is really good, did you make it up yourself?"

"No." The little girl smiled shyly, "Mr. Chen composed the lyrics and music, and taught me to sing. Mr. Chen is the storyteller..."

There is a resident storyteller in this teahouse. He is in his thirties and looks plain. It can be seen that life is very unsatisfactory.But there was always an optimistic smile on his face.Even if it was an extremely sad story, he would tell it in a joking tone.

He came to the teahouse to drink tea and listen to books. It was an interesting thing to listen to, so everyone liked him.

It's hard to imagine that he could make up such a sad word.

"Why didn't Mr. Chen come today?" Gu Jinzhi asked with a smile, "I've heard of him too, he's a good storyteller..."

"Mr. takes one day off every five days. Today is the day for Mr. to rest, aren't you a regular visitor?" The little girl said with a smile.

Gu Jinzhi smiled.

Because of listening to the music, it was dusk when I came out of the teahouse.

Gu Jinzhi and the old man had a lot of refreshments.After drinking half of the tea, the two of them were not very hungry.

When they arrived at the shop, Gu Jinzhi and Zhu Zhongjun went home.

Zhu Zhongjun asked her, "Why did you go there just now?"

"Going to drink tea." Gu Jinzhi smiled, "The little girl who sang the song has a new song, which is very nice. We didn't come back until she finished singing..."

"What is it singing?"

"There are joys and sorrows in the world." Gu Jinzhi said, "A cowardly and kind woman was bullied everywhere and suffered a lot. Later, my son passed the Jinshi examination and was elected as an official. Take her back to her hometown and enjoy her old age in peace. In the end she died, and a camellia tree grew on her tomb, which blooms all year round, very delicate and beautiful. The local people put it next to her tomb, built a small temple, and molded a golden body. Every sincere , so that the house is harmonious."

Zhu Zhongjun couldn't help but look good.

"How come camellias bloom on the grave?" Zhu Zhongjun said, "How can something as delicate as camellia grow on the grave? It's nonsense."

"Why care about these details?" Gu Jinzhi said, "The ending of the whole story is complete and warm, doesn't it make sense? It's just a story..."

Zhu Zhongjun pouted.She was quite disdainful of Gu Jinzhi's sloppy attitude.

"Next time you're free, why don't you go and listen to it?" Gu Jinzhi smiled, "My eyes were wet at the time... You will be very moved when you hear it."

Zhu Zhongjun is rarely moved by other people's stories.

He said perfunctorily, "Let's talk about it."

Go back to Gu's house.The family got together for dinner.

Song Pan'er asked her if there was anything interesting today.

Gu Jinzhi briefly mentioned the matter of her uncle going to the shop to make trouble, and focused on her going to listen to the song with the old man.And tell the story in that song.Tell Song Pan'er.

Thinking about it carefully, she didn't hear many words clearly.Some are self-made.

But also very reasonable.

Gu Yanzhen listened, praised it once, and asked: "Which teahouse is it?" He also wanted to listen to it.

Mother Song and the maidservants around her also burst into tears; Brother Xuan and Brother Xiu didn't quite understand, so they ran to the Nuan Pavilion early to play with Xiao Shi and Xiao Shi.

Song Pan'er said: "What's so good? It's because the woman didn't live up to her expectations! If it were me, I would fight for my life first, and I can't live without a man and be chased around by people!"

The poignant and beautiful picture was destroyed in an instant.

Gu Yanzhen looked helplessly at his wife.

Gu Jinzhi said: "Mother, it's just a story, why bother to be serious. Isn't it fun to listen to it?"

Song Pan'er glared at her: "These stories are all made up by stinky men to make women obedient and obedient. Useless women end up becoming Bodhisattvas instead..."

Gu Yanzhen couldn't listen anymore, so she also slipped away.

Finally, based on this story, Song Paner educated Gu Jinzhi and the unmarried maids not to be manipulated by others in the future, but to be stronger, otherwise they would be driven around and sold, and they would not be able to become Bodhisattvas in the end. , a pile of dry grass wrapped rotten bones buried.

Gu Jinzhi listened carefully from the side, nodded repeatedly and said yes.

Mother Song was snickering.

The maids looked at each other a little.

Zhu Zhongjun was also at the side, listening with his chin resting.

After coming out of the main courtyard, when Gu Jinzhi sent him to the second gate, he asked Gu Jinzhi: "...do you still think that story is interesting?"

Gu Jinzhi glared at him.

Zhu Zhongjun just laughed.

"Good night." He gently pulled Gu Jinzhi's hand.

Gu Jinzhi smiled and said good night.

All night, Gu Jinzhi didn't sleep well. She was thinking about the old man.

There was a lot of tossing and turning in my mind for a long time.

The next day, at Yinzheng, she woke up.

Nishang was on duty at night, so she hurriedly got up to help Gu Jinzhi dress and freshen up.

Gu Jinzhi changed into a royal blue straight gown and a black girdle.

When Nishang tied her girdle, her hands pinched and pinched her waist.

Gu Jinzhi was afraid of ticklish, smiled and avoided her hand, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I've lost a lot of weight!" Nishang's distressed face, "Girl, you're in the shop, don't you eat well at noon? How about I tell Madam, I'll send you lunch at noon?"

Eating at noon is relatively simple.

But everyone eats like this, even grandpa.

Zhu Zhongjun is such a picky eater, but he also eats with gusto, how can Gu Jinzhi take the lead?

She smiled and said, "I've grown taller! As I grow taller, my waist will naturally become thinner..."

Nishang made gestures on her head a few times.

In fact, this year, I haven't grown much.

"Still thin." Nishang said. "You will use more for breakfast in the future to fill up your lunch. When you come back at night, I will make you some more snacks..."

Gu Jinzhi couldn't laugh or cry.

Sure enough, during breakfast, Nishang accompanied her to the main courtyard, saw her put down her chopsticks, and immediately picked up two crystal shrimp dumplings for her.

Gu Jinzhi had no choice but to eat.

She put down her chopsticks again, and Nishang served again, picking up two spring rolls.

Gu Jinzhi couldn't eat anymore.

Song Pan'er saw it.He asked Gu Jinzhi: "What's the matter, are you hungry?"

Gu Jinzhi hurriedly said no.

"Ma'am, the girl has lost a lot of weight..." Nishang said to Song Pan'er, "The waist has become two circles thinner. The girdle is going to be smaller again."

Song Paner could also see that Gu Jinzhi had lost weight.

But she felt that the girl was getting bigger and slimmer, and she was pretty.Besides, Gu Jinzhi is not really skinny.

If she is thinner and her face is sharper, her eyes will appear bigger and more watery, and she will be more beautiful.

Hearing what Nishang said, Song Pan'er was slightly taken aback.Said: "Really? Come here and let me have a look..."

Gu Jinzhi had no choice but to stand up and walk to his mother.

Song Pan'er looked her up and down, touched her body, and was startled: "Oh, how did you become so thin?"

She has bones all over her body.

A good breakfast turned out to be a question of criticizing Gu Jinzhi for not eating.

She didn't skip meals.It's too hot in summer, I don't have a good appetite, and I'm busy.Besides, Gu Jinzhi didn't feel any discomfort.On the contrary, she is more energetic.

Gu Yanzhen also asked: "What's wrong with you? I've seen you lose weight for a long time..."

Gu Jinzhi was speechless.

Until the little girl came in and said that someone came from the old house.It was only then that they interrupted their questioning of Gu Jinzhi.

"...It's Miss Chunqiao who is next to Da Furen." The little maid said.

Song Pan'er hurriedly called to come in, and seeing that everyone had finished eating, she ordered the maids and women to remove the dining table, brought tea to rinse their mouths, and brought water to wash their hands.

"It's so early, I'm afraid it's your sister-in-law's baby..." Song Pan'er guessed the intention of the visitor from the old house.

In the end, Gu Jinzhi was not invited to see a doctor.

Rather, it is a matter in the palace.

"The third princess surrendered last night..." Chunqiao said with a smile.

Concubine De gave birth last night.

A princess was born.

Gu Jinzhi secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Hello princess, a princess is born, everyone is happy.The emperor is happy, the queen mother likes it, I'm afraid the uncle is not happy.But it is also a great joy to be able to make a decision.

The eldest lady asked the servant girl to tell her, implying that tomorrow is the three baptisms, and the palace will definitely send someone to invite the wives to have a good time.

Song Pan'er is from Concubine De's natal family, so the gift must be heavy but not light, the lady is giving Song Pan'er some time to prepare.

"Are the mother and daughter safe?" Song Pan'er asked with a smile, "It's such a great joy."

"Everything is safe." Chunqiao said.

As soon as Chunqiao left, Song Pan'er sent the children to study and Gu Yanzhen to go out, and asked Mother Song to bring out the goldware from Fuxiang's time-honored brand a few days ago.

Song Pan'er also thought that Concubine De might be born this month, so she went to Fuxiang's time-honored brand last time, bought a batch of longevity locks and children's bracelets, and got ready first.

She hit seven or eight longevity locks and ten pairs of bracelets in one breath.

Lin Manjing, the eldest grandmother of the Dafang, Princess Nanchang, Xia Shi, the third grandmother, and Gu Shanzhi, the fourth girl, have only been left for the past few years.

"This one, it's just one or two." Song Pan'er picked out the heaviest long-lived lock and gave it to Mother Song. "I hit this one for the princess."

The other longevity locks are all eight points.

Then I picked another pair of bracelets.

Gu Jinzhi went to the pharmacy as usual, and asked his grandfather and elder brother about whether the Concubine Dao had given birth to a princess.

They haven't heard of it yet.

"When was it born?" the elder brother asked.

"Last night." Gu Jinzhi said, "I will go into the palace to see their mother and daughter tomorrow."

The old man smiled and said: "Concubine De is blessed..."

The old man also thought it would be good to have a princess.Give birth to a princess, the emperor and the queen mother can rest assured that no matter how much the uncle tosses about, he will not be able to make waves.

"Yes, that's what I said too." Gu Jinzhi said.

Lin Yi stood aside, his eyes fell on the grandparents and grandchildren, and he felt a little different in his heart.

He liked Mr. Gu more and more.

This old man is not only skilled in medicine, but also kind-hearted, and he is also very wise.
