Chapter 431
During the conversation, the old lady sent her servants to send the latest quilt cover, pillow, quilt cover and pillow were embroidered with small and beautiful Clivia. The flower language of Clivia is gentle, polite and noble. My grandmother still cared about her in her heart, and was not as indifferent as she appeared on the surface.
In the bedroom, the afterglow of the sunset shines into the room through goose yellow gauze and directly sprinkles on the wide pear blossom bed, making everything look so warm and even the air becomes warm. Gao Xi is both unfamiliar and familiar with this place. She chose the Rose Garden where her sister gave her to live in in her previous life, but did not choose the Orchid Garden where her mother once lived. How sad it would be if her mother knew about her choice in her previous life.
Bai's family has a study room. Women's boudoir generally do not have a study room, but women who like calligraphy will naturally set up a study room for their own writing, painting and reading books. As soon as they enter the study room, the most eye-catching thing is a row of large bookcases. There are very few such large bookcases in women's rooms. The content of books my mother read is very wide, and some are still lonely books. The entire early Tiande Dynasty history books had a set. It's really amazing. What's more amazing is that a woman in a boudoir can read military books. Maybe it's because her grandfather was a general.
What's more interesting is that my mother has many books to describe love between men and women. The popular words in the past ten years were all neatly collected. She is really a strange woman. From the content of these books, we can roughly see my mother's preferences. Reading the books my mother likes to read is also a way to miss my mother. The bookcase is also spotlessly maintained. It can be seen that Madam Bai has been spending a lot of time organizing these books. The room has such a large workload, so she doesn't care about the orchids in the courtyard outside and can only let them wither.
The desk was empty, and there were no four treasures of study that Bai had used. Madam Bai saw Gao Xi's doubts again and sighed: "The four treasures of study used by the wife were also her dowry, which was purchased by General Bai for her. General Bai regretted that he was only good at martial arts and could not speak. Especially for children like Mrs. who were good at literature, he bought a set from booksellers with a large amount of money. Unfortunately, not long after his wife passed away, Gao Hongming brought people to borrow it, but he never returned.
Also, he also said that this set of four treasures of study can play its due role and let her younger brother use it for enlightenment. Using enlightenment and school is really useless. I am really angry, but I am a little bit weak, so they snatched it directly. It is useless for me. I didn’t protect my wife’s beloved things. Fortunately, although Gao Hongming is known as the number one talented woman in Kyoto, she does not love books very much. If she doesn’t like them, these books can be preserved intact."
"Not only books, but also precious jewelry from the jewelry cabinet were also taken away one by one. I really have the will but lack the ability. Will the lady blame me? Fortunately, the lady entrusted the imperial green jade bracelet to the old lady before her death, and they didn't know, otherwise they would have been stolen long ago. It shows how wise and foresighted the lady is." Madam Bai said while wiping her tears.
"Madam, don't be sad. I will take back everything that belongs to my mother. I will let them return it all the same." Gao Xi's eyes revealed a firm and confident look in his eyes.
"Okay, okay, okay, I believe the lady is capable of doing it. But Miss, don't blame the nanny for speaking directly. Should you lose your weight? Your mother is a graceful woman. Why don't you look like her at all? Is it because the diet in the countryside is unbalanced? From tomorrow, we must have a balanced diet and reduce the amount of meat intake. Otherwise, with your weight four months later and the hairpin ceremony, it will be ridiculed." Madam Bai began to worry.
"What the madam said is that at this weight, don't laugh at me when I go out. I know that, but now I have to rely on everyone's efforts to lose weight and supervise me together. At least I have to reduce the body of a normal person and appear in front of everyone. Otherwise, at the same time, I will be insulted in my mother's reputation in Kyoto at the same time."
Madam Bai and Xiao Xingtao both made up their minds that no matter how coquettish the lady acted, she could not persist, nor could she have let her eat too much meat every day.
"When I get up, we will make a weight loss plan. The time is four months, and the goal is to lose from 137 kilograms to 110 kilograms." Gao Xi said enthusiastically again, as if it was easy and easy. But I knew that everything was just the beginning of pain. For a person who was not happy with meat, it was really painful, not to mention that there would be sugar water and snacks in the mansion in the afternoon, which was even more fatal temptation.
He simply packed up the bed and went back to his own room to sleep. Gao Xi had a habit of reborn. He didn't need a maid to sleep with him at night. Xiao Xingtao slept in the room closest to her bedroom. Generally, Gao Xi would not call Xiao Xingtao to get up at night, and would not be so spoiled that he would go to the cottage to go to the cottage at night. She liked to be alone at night, so she could think about problems quietly and let Xiao Xingtao chat and talk in her room, so Gao Xi asked Xiao Xingtao to sleep in the next room, and she slept alone.
I couldn't sleep all night, my mother did not fall into a dream, and the nightmares in my previous life would never come to invade her dreamland again, just as if my mother was blessing her in the dark and blocking the invasion of the dream demon.
The next morning, when Gao Xi was dressed up again and simply dressed up, she wanted to write her great weight loss plan with a pen, and suddenly remembered that the desk was empty. How should she write it? She could only implement the first step she had secretly planned in her heart. What should she do? Think about it, that imperial green jade bracelet is valuable, right? But it is hidden at home to maintain its value and cannot be exchanged for cash. She lacks money in her hands, commonly known as poor.
Yes, she still has 140 taels on her, but in Kyoto, where the rich and wealthy people are more prosperous, this 140 taels will be done with just a few meals. It is still an ordinary restaurant, and there is no possibility of getting in if it is a little more high-end one. So, I will say the most important thing three times. Gao Xi will get the money again! Get the money! Get the money! Get the money!
Gao Xi was about to go out to pay tribute to the old lady, but he didn't know that Gao Xi was blocked by Gao Hongming before he could walk out of the door.
Gao Hongming's eyes were red and swollen, and they had severe dark circles. They were covered with thick powder, but they could still see clearly. It was obvious that Gao Hongming cried before going to bed last night, and his sleep quality was not good. He probably had severe insomnia.
Gao Xi knew why she had insomnia, it must be because of the Emperor Green Bracelet. Gao Xi smiled secretly in her heart. The more she couldn't get it, the sadder she felt and the more she was.
Gao Hongming walked in with ten maids, each holding a large, high-end wood carving box in his hand.
"Sister, where are you going so early in the morning? Sister, don't go out first. Come and see how many good things are here. You will definitely like it after seeing it." Gao Hongming was extremely enthusiastic. The weasel greeted the chicken with New Year's greetings, and was uneasy.
Ten maids lined up and opened the boxes one by one, showing a golden ocean, which was quite spectacular and jaw-dropping.
It turns out that these boxes are golden jewelry of Golden Phoenix. Each box has a complete set of heads, including hairpins, earrings, necklaces, rings, bracelets. There are ten sets of patterns in total, including roses, orchids, lotus, chrysanthemums, roses, plum blossoms, peony, jasmine, peony, and kapok. Each flower has a very realistic shape. The petals stretch out as if you can smell the fragrance of flowers. Some buds are in bud. The exquisite carving must be the treasure of Golden Phoenix's store.
This series is so amazing. This is not the gold jewelry that Wen sent to make vulgar work. These lifelike flowers are so beautiful that every woman present. Gao Hongming really invested a lot for the jade bracelet. If it were Gao Xiyou, when he saw such beautiful gold jewelry, he would definitely give up the jade bracelet. Who made Gao Xi in his previous life blind and fond of uniqueness?
"Sister, why are you doing so many beautiful gold jewelry? You won't be rewarded without any merits." Gao Xi said with regret again.
"How could it be? You are my sister. You have suffered so much in the countryside. My sister will definitely compensate you the best in Kyoto. Do you think this is OK? You borrow your jade bracelet to wear for a few days, and my sister will participate in the poetry meeting in Kyoto, and I will give you back after you have won't be able to hold on to you. What do you think? My sister will cherish your bracelet very much, but I won't knock it at all. Don't worry, sister." Gao Hongming looked at Gao Xi's expression that he would definitely lend her the imperial green jade bracelet for granted.
Borrow it? I think it was robbed openly, right? If you borrow it, you will return it. It has been collected a long time ago, and you will use countless reasons to refuse to return it. Gao Xi in his previous life was really a fool. If he heard Gao Hongming say this, he would definitely have exchanged it with a heart-warming exchange. Unfortunately, now, she is not allowed to take out any needle or thread here.
"Sister, this is my mother's relic. This set of gold jewelry from the Kao series is of course excellent, but this is the only thought left by my mother to me. I don't want to lend it to anyone. If it disappears accidentally, the only connection between me and my mother will be broken. This is a great unfilial!" A sentence of unfiliality directly blocked Gao Hongming's next words.
"I, I, I... I really like it..." Gao Hongming's usual sharp mouth stuttered at this time, and her face turned red like drunken. She couldn't figure out why Gao Xi suddenly became a different person, why did it become so difficult to talk to? Didn't she care about her mother in the past and disdain for her? As long as she spoke up for what she wanted, Gao Hongming would not refuse. Why didn't she want to lend it to her today? The feeling of becoming smart must be an illusion. It should be that Madam Bai's old man's explanation. Gao Xi was so stupid again, and he must have believed the old man's slander.
"Sister, although I like these gold jewelry very much, I don't have anything to exchange with them for equivalent amounts. I don't want it. Take it back and collect it. This series is worth a lot, it's really enviable."
Gao Xi said again, it was a pity that he was not worth his life, but Gao Hongming had no choice but to do nothing to do with her.
"Sister, let's go to pay my respects to my grandmother together. I don't know if my grandmother has gotten up. You are more familiar with the process of paying my grandmother's greetings."
After saying that, without giving Gao Hongming the chance to refuse, he dragged Gao Hongming's hand and walked quickly to his grandmother's "Peony Garden".
As soon as she arrived at the "Mudan Garden", Madam Cui invited them to the living room, but did not lead them to the master bedroom. Madam Cui explained that the old lady acted neatly and simply and did not like the heavy red tape. She only needed to wait in the living room for her to get up, and she felt that she was healthy and not as old and weak.
After a while, grandmother came out with a simple and generous manner. At this time, Gao Hongming still did not wake up from the blow that Gao Xi did not lend her the imperial green jade bracelet, and was not the first to rush over to pay his respects as usual.
Gao Xi did not shrink back and hid behind Gao Hongming. She took a step forward and performed a standard half-squat ceremony, "Grandma, Xi greeted you again. Did grandma sleep well last night?"
The old lady smiled with satisfaction, "Last night, my grandmother slept very well. She completed your mother's instructions and you returned home safely. This is a very happy thing. In this way, I will be worthy of your mother and the ancestors of the Gao family, and my descendants are all very safe."
Then the old lady asked with concern, "The people cleaned up the room last night. Are they still clean? Are you used to living? Are you sleeping well?"
"It was really great to go back to the place where my mother once lived last night. Everything was very friendly, I slept very well, I couldn't sleep all night, thank you grandma for caring."
"Hongming, what's wrong with you? I didn't see you speak up when I came to my grandmother. This is not like you usually. Are you sick? You don't sleep well." The old lady turned her head and asked Gao Hongming with concern. After all, Gao Hongming has always been the person on her heart.
When Gao Hongming heard the old lady mention her, he reluctantly came back to his senses and replied with a smile: "Grandma, I have nothing to do. I just went to pick up my sister and bumped into the carriage for several days. When I came home, I fell asleep in a stable bed and couldn't sleep for a while. My face was a little worse, but I would be fine after a few days of getting used to it."
"Then you all go back and continue to rest. Don't stay with your grandmother. I don't need the service of you younger generations. Although the courtesy should not be abandoned, it's enough. Go back and go back to your own yard for breakfast. Seeing that you all have such a bad face, I feel very distressed. The girl Jiaojiao must keep it well." The old lady sent them all back.
