Although Gao Wenyuan didn't want Mrs. Gao to know what mistake he had made, he was obviously wary of Jiang Nianjiao at the moment, so he nodded with drooping eyebrows.
Then he immediately added, "Auntie, save me! I don't want to go to Beijing Yamen and go to jail."
Seeing Gao Wenyuan admitting the mistakes he had made, Mr. Gao became a little colder.
Although when they picked up their nephew, they did intend to treat Gao Wenyuan as a son because they had no son, but they only treated him as a son, not a real son.
Besides, even if he is really his own son, if he knew that he cheated me like this, he would have to teach him a lesson.
She ignored Gao Wenyuan's request and only said to Jiang Nianjiao, "I understand. Thank you Princess for the suggestion, but regarding Gao Wenyuan. Please also ask Princess to hand over the person to us first. I will wait for the master to come back and then let him make the decision."
Jiang Nianjiao saw that her aunt seemed to know the importance of seriousness, so she naturally said no more.
"Now that aunt has spoken, he will be handed over to aunt. It's just that Jiaojiao hopes that aunt can work with uncle to take more care of Mr. Gao."
Gao nodded, "That's natural."
Jiang Nianjiao came here just for this matter. Now that she was handed over to Mrs. Gao, she felt more at ease.
In addition, she and this aunt are not on friendly terms.
Therefore, after a few words of greetings with Mr. Gao and Gao Caiping, she prepared to get up and leave.
Unexpectedly, Gao Caiping said, "It's rare for Princess Jin to return to her mother's house. Why not stay for a meal before leaving."
Hearing this, Mrs. Gao felt a little embarrassed, and she agreed, "Yes, it's better for the princess to stay and finish the meal before leaving."
Hearing this request to stay, Jiang Nianjiao felt slightly stunned.
After all, her aunt was not one to take the initiative to keep people around, so her eyes unconsciously turned to Gao Caiping.
This was the first time she had seen this eldest cousin. After all, her visits to the Gao family were limited, and when she came over, this sister was already married, so she really didn't have much interaction with Gao Caiping, but she and Gao Caiping I have met another Miss Gao, Gao Caiwei.
However, she and Gao Caiwei had different temperaments, and those who hung out with Jiang Nianjiao at that time were naturally the female relatives of Prime Minister Jiang's family. They all had similar personalities and high-profile styles. As a female member of the Qingliu family, Gao Caiwei naturally looked down upon Jiang Nianjiao's flamboyant temperament like a social butterfly.
Jiang Nianjiao didn't like Gao Caiwei either, and the two disliked each other.
Therefore, except for some superficial exchanges on weekdays, the two of them had little interaction.
She just didn't expect that Gao Caiping seemed to be different from her sister. From the moment she came out, her eyes almost fell on her. However, she saw that Gao Caiping's eyes were gentle and kind, so she didn't say anything more.
While Jiang Niangjiao was stunned, Gao Caiping had already come to win over Jiang Niangjiao, "What do you think, Princess? A meal won't take much of your time, right?"
Being pulled by Gao Caiping like this, Jiang Nianjiao finally nodded, "Then I won't bother my aunt."
Gao just smiled politely and said, "Why bother talking about it."
After saying this, Mrs. Gao just said to Gao Caiping, "Ping'er, please stay with the princess. I'll go down first to make arrangements."
After saying this, Mr. Gao left.
Gao Caiping responded naturally with a smile.
After her mother left, Gao Caiping smiled and turned around to look at Jiang Nianjiao. While she looked at Jiang Nianjiao, she whispered, "They look alike, but they are so similar."
Jiang Nianjiao asked in confusion, "What does it look like?"...
Gao Caiping smiled and said, "Of course she looks like your biological mother, Jiaojiao, you and your aunt are almost like they were printed from the same mold."
After hearing this, Jiang Nianjiao realized what Gao Caiping was talking about?
She was talking about her mother who died without ever meeting her.
Thinking of it, her kindness was probably directed towards her mother.
"Sister Caiping has seen my mother?" Jiang Nianjiao asked in a low voice.
Gao Caiping smiled and said, "That's natural. My aunt was very kind to me before I got married."
After saying that, she said again, "By the way, Princess, do you want to go and take a look at your mother's house?"
Jiang Nianjiao didn't hesitate, she nodded.
In fact, she was a little confused about this mother.
Seeing Jiang Nianjiao nodded, Gao Caiping led Jiang Nianjiao to the west wing.
The Gao family maintained the rooms of these sisters very well. Whether it was Concubine Yuxian's boudoir before leaving the palace or her mother's room, they only had people cleaning it every day, but they did not let anyone else move in. in.
Therefore, the rooms here only maintain the original appearance of where they lived during their lifetime.
Just looking at that scene, she could almost picture the situation when her mother lived here during her lifetime.
Jiang Nianjiao stared at the room blankly, feeling in a daze.
After a long time, Gao Caiping suddenly took Jiang Nianjiao's hand and said, "Jiaojiao, my aunt actually gave me something before she was alive. She seemed to know that she would die soon, so she only asked me to keep this thing." You. It's just a pity that I couldn't give this thing to you when my husband went to work abroad not long ago. Although you may not need this thing now, but now that I think about it, I just feel that this thing should still be returned to its original owner."
Jiang Nianjiao looked at Gao Caiping in confusion, only to see Gao Caiping take out a rattle with a colorful painting from a long and narrow carved sandalwood box.
Looking at the rattle, Jiang Nianjiao's face felt a little tense. Was this something left to her by her mother?
But what she was obviously more concerned about was that her mother seemed to know that she would die in childbirth, and even the toys to amuse her children were only delivered by others.
There is something unreasonable about this matter.
After all, she could have prepared this thing long ago, instead of waiting until now to have it handed over to her.
Jiang Nianjiao couldn't help but said to Gao Caiping, "Maybe you can show me this rattle."
Gao Caiping smiled calmly and said, "This is what my aunt left for you. Princess, you can take a look at it if you want."
After saying this, Gao Caiping handed the rattle to Jiang Nianjiao.
After Jiang Nianjiao took the rattle, she looked at it carefully. The drum was just an ordinary thing, and she didn't see anything unusual.
Gao Caiping was still smiling and said, "Although this rattle cannot amuse the princess now, it will come in handy after the princess gives birth to a child."
Jiang Nianjiao only glanced at Gao Caiping when she heard this, but she still smiled and said to Gao Caiping, "Thank you, sister Caiping, for helping me keep my mother's relics for so long."
Gao Caiping just said, "Don't thank me. I didn't fulfill my duty at the beginning. Before you were born, I followed my husband to Yangcheng. I stayed there for more than ten years. During this time, the sky was high and the road was far away, and the family wealth was not counted." Rich, but this thing has never been delivered to you."
Jiang Nianjiao said, "Actually, aunt doesn't need to come here in person. It's the same thing if the inn is sent to the capital."
Hearing this, Gao Caiping became even more embarrassed, "What the princess said is true, but my aunt wanted me to hand over the things to you personally. She couldn't trust others. And there was no inn in Yangcheng where we were at that time. My husband had He was demoted and sent there, and it is very desolate."
After listening to Gao Caiping's words, Jiang Nianjiao suddenly had some more clear thoughts for a moment. Since Gao Caiping's husband was demoted, it was naturally a matter of course. The only uncertainty was the matter of time.
If her mother really wanted to prepare toys for her, she could have asked her servants to prepare them directly instead of handing them over to Gao Caiping. And she still had to hand it over to herself.
Then the meaning behind this rattle may not only be a toy for herself, but there may also be some information that she cannot believe even her own father.
It's just that she was too young and it was useless to get this information, so she handed the thing to her trusted niece, and calculated the time before she would be demoted, so she asked Gao Caiping to hand it to her now.
Now it seems that the rattle may not have been given too late, but at the right time.
When she returned to Prince Jin's Mansion in the afternoon, Jiang Nianjiao had been playing with the rattle. Lianying didn't know the origin of the drum. When she saw Jiang Nianjiao playing with the drum head, she just smiled and said, "The princess prepared the small drum so early, but something good is about to happen to your highness?"
When Jiang Nianjiao heard this, she just chuckled, "No, this is a relic left by my mother to me."
After hearing this, Cuiqiao on the side was a little surprised and said, "This thing is still...
Why should it be specially sent by the Gao family? Does this thing have any special meaning? "
Unexpectedly, Cui Qiao could think of this level. Jiang Nianjiao couldn't help but look at Cui Qiao and said, "Cui Qiao, what special meaning do you think this drum has?"
Cuiqiao scratched her head and said, "I'm not sure, but there might be something inside this drum that the lady left for the lady. After all, the drum head is very convenient for hiding things. Maybe there is some secret book inside. Mountain treasure map?"
Hearing this, Lianying laughed out loud, "Cuiqiao, what are you thinking about every day? You can hide all this in here. I think you have read too many quackery books."
Cui Qiao also seemed to feel that her suggestion was a bit unreliable. She only scratched her head in embarrassment and said, "I just said this when the lady asked me."
While the two girls were bickering, Jiang Nianjiao, at Cui Qiao's suggestion, set her sights on the drum skin.
Is there any message left in this drum surface that you want to convey to yourself?
However, looking at the surface material, the drum surface is tightly fitted and there are no traces of later repairs.
But this does not guarantee the possibility that this rattle was his mother who first left a message and then stitched it on.
Thinking of this, Jiang Nianjiao only said to Lianying on the side, "Lianying, are there any scissors in the carriage?"
Lianying, who was originally joking with Cuiqiao, looked at Jiang Nianjiao in surprise when she heard this.
"Scissors? What does Madam want with this?"
Jiang Nianjiao didn't answer, but just started rummaging around.
Lianying quickly said, "Madam, there are no scissors in this room."
Hearing this, Jiang Nianjiao felt a little disappointed.
But Cui Qiao on the side said, "I have a dagger here. Can Miss use it?"
