Gu Jinzhi on the rockery was in a dilemma for a while.

In the distance, there were women and maids walking back and forth, but she herself, without anyone to serve her, was alone here.

If those women and maids approached and called Miss Seventh, the third sister-in-law and the fourth sister would definitely suspect that she was following them deliberately to eavesdrop.

It was the lesser of two evils, so she deliberately coughed lightly and walked more slowly.

The sound in the arch cave disappeared instantly.

The third grandmother, Xia, even yelled: "Who is it?"

Gu Jinzhi deliberately took a wrong step and almost fell. He said loudly: "Who is it? Who is down there? I was scared to death."

Only then did the third grandma and the fourth girl come out of the arch.

The tears on the fourth girl's face were not yet dry, and her makeup was smeared with tears.

Seeing Gu Jinzhi lying on the rockery, her aunt and sister-in-law asked her, "What is Qimei doing?"

Gu Jinzhi smiled: "I took a shortcut." Then his eyes wandered to the fourth girl, "Why is the fourth sister crying?"

The fourth girl didn't know how to respond for a moment.

The third grandma smiled and said: "Who is crying? It's just that the sand has blinded your eyes. I am helping your fourth sister to blow."

The fourth girl quickly smiled and said: "Yes, I'm confused..."

Gu Jinzhi understood, nodded and said: "It's windy today..."

It's indeed a bit windy today.

"Fourth sister, do you want to go to my yard to touch up your makeup?" Gu Jinzhi asked, "Go over here and walk a few steps to get there."

The third grandma, Mrs. Xia, hurriedly grabbed her and said with a smile: "Good sister, these rocks are all fake and the decoration is unstable. If you are not careful, they will collapse and you will fall for nothing. Don't take shortcuts from here in the future."

The nearby rockery may be unstable.

But this house is very stable. The villa planned to be built for the princess is exquisite in everything.

Gu Jinzhi still nodded obediently: "Then let's go around through the woods over there."

she said with a smile.

The fourth girl was indeed crying, and even going out would arouse people's suspicion.

The third grandma secretly gave her a wink.

The aunt and sister-in-law followed Gu Jinzhi and went to her yard to change their makeup.

Afterwards, the two of them left Gu Jinzhi and went to sit in the front to listen to the play.

Gu Jinzhi also got up and went to the main courtyard to see Brother Yu and Brother Xun.

Wanxi saw off the guests. Song Pan'er was so tired that she felt weak all over. She couldn't even lift her legs, but she still remembered that today was the fifteenth day and she wanted to have dinner with the old man.

The old man doesn't care about any happy events at home, he only comes out once on the 15th day of the lunar month. The rest of the time he spends writing books in the secluded study in the outer courtyard.

Gu Yanzhen and Song Pan'er's children have been having trouble all day. Everyone is very tired now.

Gu Yanzhen, in particular, yawned again and again.

The old man was not harsh and said, "Have you given names to the two new boys?"

Gu Yanzhen was so excited that he dozed off for most of the time, and said hurriedly: "... take it... take it. I should have bothered dad, but I was afraid..."

"No need to talk nonsense." The old man interrupted his explanation, "How can I have time to name your child for you?" Then he asked the child's name, "What is it?"

Gu Yanzhen said quickly.

After hearing this, the old man nodded and said, "It has a good meaning and is catchy. It's a good name." Then he took out two purses from his sleeves and handed them to Song Pan'er, "I asked Huaqin to go to the silversmith's shop, whatever.

Whatever you bought, bring it to their brothers."

Song Pan'er hurriedly stood up and took it respectfully. They were two pairs of small silver bracelets with two round southern beads on them.

The silver bracelets have been made at home, but the old man didn’t give them any meaning.

Song Pan'er was overjoyed and thanked the old man.

The old man said: "I know you have been tired all day. There is no need to eat. I went back to my yard. I only brought the two boys here. Let me see if it is true."

Song Pan'er hurriedly went to ask the wet nurse to bring her.

A month has passed, and little Shiyu has gained a lot of weight. Now he weighs seven or eight pounds. He is fat and even cute. Little Eleven, on the other hand, has hardly grown much because he was naughty and crying. He was only five years old.

It only weighed three ounces, and now it is at most six pounds, which still looks pitiful.

The old man was not restrained and hugged each other once. He said to Song Pan'er about Xiao Shi: "Young boy Yu is lucky, he is honest and lovable." Then he looked at Xiao Eleven and said, "Young boy is clever and clever. So,

If you are small, your eyes will look blurry."

Every grandson liked it.

Song Pan'er felt warm in her heart and thanked her again.

He also said: "When the boys grow up, daddy will teach them more."

"Just teach me." The old man's voice was calm and his mood was very gentle. "Sister Jin and Brother Xuan are both very good."

Then, he looked at Brother Xiu and said nothing.

Brother Xiu was naughty when he was a child and broke the old man's ancient inkstone. The old man still holds a grudge. It was a relic left by his grandmother. The old man is more precious than life.

Gu Jinzhi thought that the relationship between the old man and his grandmother must have been very good when they were young.

She thought of her previous life with Zhu Zhongjun.

When she died, Zhu Zhongjun was visiting Africa. In fact, when a person dies, he can try to hold on to his breath and wait for the person he wants to see. Gu Jinzhi only waited for his son Rongnan and adopted daughter Huainan, and died before Zhu Zhongjun came back.

.

At that time, she didn't feel that she had to meet Zhu Zhongjun. Zhu Zhongjun didn't come back, so she went away quietly and without any worries.

After she died, Zhu Zhongjun must not have even seen her belongings.

According to the son's character, if his father was not there when his mother died, he would definitely move Gu Jinzhi's ashes away so that Zhu Zhongjun wouldn't see them.

But now, Zhu Zhongjun is living in the guest room of her house. Like her, he is a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child...

Gu Jinzhi couldn't describe how he felt.

The old man looked at his children and grandchildren once, then stood up and left.

Gu Jinzhi wanted to send him off.

He said: "No, just keep me company with Hua Qin. You, a girl, should avoid walking at night..."

The ancients believed that if a girl's family has a strong negative energy and her eyes are clean, she will easily bump into gods and goddesses at night.

Gu Jinzhi obeyed.

Gu Yanzhen, Brother Xuan and Brother Xiu accompanied the old man out of the inner courtyard.

The two boys fell asleep again. Song Pan'er leaned on the kang in the east room and took a nap, waiting for Gu Yanzhen to come back before washing herself and falling asleep.

Gu Jinzhi sat aside and massaged her legs to relieve the pain.

Haitang and the others would never be able to learn Gu Jinzhi's techniques.

"Mom, I heard Fourth Sister crying today..." Gu Jinzhi told Song Pan'er what she had overheard in the arch.

Song Pan'er doesn't like people from her second wife, but she likes gossip.

"Why are you crying?" She really became energetic.

Gu Jinzhi smiled and told what he heard: "The third sister-in-law said that the second house is unreliable and she needs to find an uncle... She also said that our Gu family is not a poor family. I looked at that and it must be true.

Something big happened."

Song Pan'er suddenly remembered something and said: "You said that. I remembered that your third sister-in-law did hold your fourth sister and whispered something to your eldest aunt. As soon as I got there, I heard your eldest aunt laughing.

They said, 'Don't be a servant, how could such a family be like this?' When I walked over, they stopped talking, and I had no time to ask. It turned out to be a matter of Sister Shan's husband's family."

Then she thought hard, "She has only been married a few days, what could happen? Your aunt said that a family like that wouldn't be like this..."

She thought about the private affairs of wealthy people and thought about it a lot.

"...Does the fourth uncle have an escapee and a wife outside the house and wants to bring him in?" Song Pan'er guessed, "Either the uncle wants Sister Shan's dowry; or maybe Sister Shan's mother-in-law uses her sister-in-law as a dowry.

Aunt Su, sister Ya Shan, are you trying to instigate a relationship between husband and wife?"

Because the eldest aunt said that the Yuan family would not be affected.

The Yuan family was considered a wealthy family, but they made their fortune through business. They were rich and had few children with official careers, so they joined the Gu family and wanted to rely on the influence of their uncle Gu Yantao.

The Yuan family is rich, so they won't be able to support their married couple and have children outside; the Yuan family is rich, so they won't ask for a dowry from their daughter-in-law; the Yuan family relies on the Gu family, so they won't dare to disrespect Sister Shan...

Not that...

Song Pan'er guessed for a long time.

"Didn't you say that you can't leave someone alone in a new house?" Gu Jinzhi asked Song Pan'er, "Why is it that just a few days after the fourth sister got married, her mother-in-law took her to our place for a wedding banquet? This shows that their family is very full.

Jin Jiner wanted to curry favor with our family. As soon as he passed by, something went wrong. Either the brother-in-law of the Yuan family was particularly unbearable, or the fourth sister was at fault..."
