Child Bride’s Peaches and Plums Are All Over the World

"My niece-in-law came from my grandfather. You know, my husband and I are poor, and now we are going to be separated from the mansion, but there is no one around to serve," Li Baolu put down the teacup and smiled, "So I begged shamelessly. My grandfather, let my husband and I take away the people who are serving and their families."

"I remember that Qing Ling, the younger sister of Hong Tao, is here with the second aunt. Although the eldest aunt will give me their body deeds later, I think it is better to tell the second aunt about this matter. By the way, I have a request. Ask the second aunt."

   Jiang's face darkened, and he looked at the red peach behind Li Baolu with deep eyes.

Hearts bowed her head, her sleeves clenched tightly, and she heard the third grandmother say with a smile: "You also know that I only have one hearts to use. After branching out, we will move out of Gu's residence, so we are in a hurry, so My niece-in-law came to ask my second aunt to lend me Qingling in advance."

   Mr. Jiang put down the teacup, pursed his lips and smiled lightly: "You are in a hurry."

   "I'm young," Li Baolu said confidently, "I can't wait to get the little things done right away, but it's not like the eldest aunt and the second aunt have too many things to do, so you can hold your breath."

   Jiang Shi was choked to death.

She lowered her eyes and touched the tea wall, and said with a light smile: "Qingling's parents are children of Gu's house, and she grew up in Gu's house. Although you are kind, she may not be willing to leave Gu's house. Ask her to ask, if she doesn't want to, it's not easy to force her."

Li Baolu shook her head with a serious face, "Second aunt has nothing wrong with her good heart, but she shouldn't treat them like this, even the rules are broken. They are servants, what the master asks them to do, they do what they do, but they don't. You want to kill them, why do you do it so cowardly?"

   Jiang's heart was stunned. Looking at Li Baolu's tight face, she couldn't help but think of Qin Wenyin. She was her daughter-in-law, and she was just as annoying.

   She lifted her eyelids and glanced at Hong Tao, sneered in her heart, turned her head and instructed Hong Xing, "Go and call Qing Ling."

  Qingling is the third-class little girl in Jiang's courtyard. She is only nine years old this year. Originally, she only helped to wash rice and vegetables in the kitchen, and was the last-class girl.

   But her own sister, Hong Tao, is the big girl by Jiang's side. Although she is not as good as Hong Xing, she can protect her from being bullied.

   But since her sister was sent to Wutongyuan, Qingling's life has changed. Some people please her, but others bully her.

She rose from the last to the third, from a little girl who washed rice and vegetables in the small kitchen to a third-class little girl who boiled water in the tea room. The more she saw and heard, she vaguely knew that she was promoted because of her. My sister went to Wutongyuan as a spy.

   Although she is only nine years old, she is not stupid. How can a spy be so good?

  The first thing she taught them when she was a messenger was to be faithful and serve only one master.

   Her sister is the eyeliner of the second lady, and she should be her person, but the second lady gave her to the third grandma. Her sister served the third grandma, and the master was the third grandma.

   Such a body and two masters will definitely not end well, so when she heard that Li Baolu was going to take her away, she knelt down to say goodbye to Jiang without thinking.

   As long as she also followed the third grandmother, then her sister would no longer have to be a spy for the second lady, her sister would only need to recognize one master, and there would be no danger.

   Jiang's face was really angry, and Hong Xing glared at Qing Ling secretly, knowing that you want to leave, but at least pretend to pretend, so you can't wait to hit the second lady's face?

  Li Baolu took Qingling away with satisfaction, and after returning to the Wutong Courtyard, she said, "Go and pack your things, we will leave in two days."

  He Tao was stunned, "But the third master is still taking the exam, shouldn't we wait for him?"

   "Let's move to the small courtyard and wait," Li Baolu smiled, "We pack up the house in advance, wouldn't it be better for him to live in a comfortable home as soon as he comes out?"

   But moving is a big deal, how can the male host not be there?

   But seeing how excited the third grandmother is, thinking of branching and other matters, the third grandmother can replace the third master, and it is not a big deal for her to want to move.

  Li Baolu and Gu Jingyun didn't bring many things into the Gu family's house, but they added a lot of things later.

   In addition to the ones they bought themselves, there were also gifts from other people in the Gu family.

   As long as Li Baolu doesn't bring the poison, he will accept it, and naturally he will also take it away. Even if he doesn't need it, he can get a lot of money if he sells it.

   Although they divided a lot of property, they didn’t have a penny in cash. When they came to the capital, there were still more than 600 taels left. Maybe they would need them at some time.

  Li Baolu was planning their future carefully, and the eighth day came soon.

Li Baolu got up before dawn. First, she put on a bunt and punched in the courtyard. After sweating, she took a shower. Then she changed into the dress she had prepared earlier, put on light makeup, and finished breakfast. Go to the main courtyard.

  In the main courtyard, there were three masters, large and small, all of them looked at Li Baolu, who was slowly walking towards him.

   The face of Li Baolu who came in full costume was awe-inspiring, and people could see the majesty in her childish face.

   Mrs. Gu lifted her eyelids and glanced at her, then turned to Lord Gu and said slowly, "I won't go if I'm not feeling well, you can take the children with you."

   Lord Gu nodded and said, "You should rest more."

   Mrs. Gu nodded solemnly.

   Lord Gu then took them to the ancestral hall. The rest of the clan, including other elders from the side branch, also waited outside the ancestral hall. They all looked at Li Baolu in a complicated way.

   This is the first branch of the Gu family since it has a genealogy.

  A branch is not the same as a division.

   Now the so-called side branches of the Gu family are the descendants of the concubines and direct descendants that have been divided over the past dynasties, because the title has always been inherited by the long house, and the other houses have become side branches.

   But they are still on the genealogy. Every year on Qingming, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, Chongyang and New Year's Eve, they have to stand outside the ancestral hall to worship.

   But the branches are different, which means that a family tree must be separated from the family tree, and the separated branch will have its own family tree. In the future, Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu will be the ancestors of their branch.

   For the Gu family, they can come back to worship their ancestors on Qingming and New Year's Eve, but they can also ask someone to send a gift.

   Although Gu Jingyun is still a descendant of the Gu family by blood, in fact, the Gu family no longer has much binding force on him.

They didn't know whether the branch was Gu Jingyun's original intention or was forced to, but they knew that after today, the Gu family would become the center of conversation in the capital, and they would lose a good talent. Thinking of this, everyone looked at Gu Houye with some eyes. Disagree.

   This dissatisfaction reached its peak when Li Baolu wanted to enter the ancestral hall on behalf of Gu Jingyun.

   An old man said displeasedly: "Except for the New Year's Eve serving dishes, when will women be allowed to enter the ancestral hall? It's not a bride or a bereavement, not to mention such a big event as a branch, Xiuneng, this time you are going too far."

Gu Houye seemed very respectful to him, and lowered his head to admit his mistake, "The fourth uncle taught me, but the best day of this year is the eighth day of the second lunar month, but it happened to happen to be a test, Jingyun was not there, only his wife could replace him. ."

  The old man looked at Li Baolu with a critical face.

  Li Baolu stood in front of the ancestral hall and looked at him condescendingly. When he saw him, he smiled and nodded, "The fourth great-grandfather can rest assured, I have studied the etiquette carefully and repeatedly before coming here, and I will not be rude in front of the ancestors."

  The old man snorted softly.

   "Fourth Uncle, the auspicious time has come, let's start."

Li Baolu can't do it or not. It's just a matter of mouth. The etiquette of the branch is even more heavy than the ancestor worship during the New Year. Staring at her, not to mention that Li Baolu is only a 12- or 13-year-old girl, even an adult man in his tens of years may lose his temper or make mistakes in this situation.

   This is also a conspiracy of Gu Houye. If Li Baolu makes a mistake here, even if his branch is separated, it will become a joke.

   He didn't need to embarrass her in this ceremony at all, because this branch of the ceremony was a big test for her or for Gu Jingyun.

   Li Baolu is indeed nervous, but she is not too complacent. After all, she has experienced life and death, and she has practiced martial arts since childhood. With her internal strength stretched, her aura is no weaker than anyone present, so she walked into the ancestral hall calmly.

   She walked to the center of the ancestral hall step by step, walked forward according to the footsteps she had memorized, knelt down quietly in the middle, and recited the sacrificial text Gu Jingyun had written in advance.

   The crowd that was still whispering outside became quiet when her voice sounded, and many people raised their heads to look at the figure kneeling in the ancestral hall.

  The hearts of everyone slowly calmed down, and they began to bow their heads to listen carefully to the sacrificial text that Li Baolu read.

   Offerings are nothing more than reminiscing about ancestors and praising their achievements, but few people write well, so there are very few outstanding offerings in history.

Every year in the Gu family's ceremonies, the staff members help to catch the sword, but this one Li Baolu read is obviously not, because the rhetoric is gorgeous, but he is familiar with the achievements of the ancestors of the Gu family. Arrogant, he said that he would try to catch up with his ancestors and let the Gu family go further in his hands.

   Apart from Gu Jingyun, who else could speak such nonsense in front of the ancestors?

   But whether it was Lord Gu and the old people in the ancestral hall, or the young and middle-aged people standing outside, they all looked much better.

   They had always worried that Gu Jingyun had a grudge against the Gu family and would destroy the Gu family, but when they heard the sacrificial text he wrote today, everyone was relieved. There was grievance, but the child also admired the ancestors of the Gu family, so he should not do anything to the Gu family.

  Because of this beautiful rhetoric and sincere words, no one embarrassed Li Baolu again, watching her complete all the steps step by step.

   After reciting the sacrificial text, Li Baolu had to honor the ancestors and rank. After the ceremony was completed, the sun had already risen outside. It was clearly spring, but Li Baolu was cold, and it was freezing below the knees.

  Li Baolu knelt up and kept on kneeling today. She felt that her knees must be bruised. She couldn't help but feel fortunate. Fortunately, Lord Gu had chosen today's day, and Jingyun could not participate.

Li Baolu looked up at the ranks of Lin Li, knelt down and raised her arms, knelt down and kowtowed again, then Lord Gu took a booklet from the case, handed it to her with both hands, and admonished in a deep voice: "Even though you are separated from Gu The main branch of the clan is also the blood of my Gu clan, so we must bear in mind the admonitions of our ancestors, guard against greed and arrogance, be humble and respectful, and never lose faith in loyalty.”

  Li Baolu took the booklet with both hands and replied respectfully, "Yes!"
