The custom of hiding at noon during the Dragon Boat Festival has lasted for hundreds of years.

But not all the daughters-in-law in Yanling Prefecture are locals. Some of them have parents in other places and cannot go back to hide in the afternoon.

For example, Gu Jinzhi's second aunt was married from Jiangning.

Jiangning is two days' journey from Yanling.

My eldest aunt likes to be lively.

She became slimmer after being ill. Although her face was still a little sallow, she had applied makeup and the color was bright, and she didn't look sick at all. She even had a bit of the charm of her youth.

Everyone praised her for her beauty.

The eldest aunt was very happy and invited all the ladies who were friends with her and were not local girls from Yanling to stay at home for lunch.

When Gu Jinzhi and his younger brother followed their mother Song Pan'er to the Song house, they met several groups of people in front of Chuihua Gate.

Song Paner knew them all and greeted them enthusiastically.

After a while, my aunt came out to welcome me.

Gu Jinzhi held Brother Xuan's hand and walked quietly behind his mother.

The group soon arrived at the flower hall next to the main house.

Gu Jinzhi's second aunt Qin is helping to entertain the guests.

To the west of the flower hall, two cousins, a third cousin from my uncle's family, a fourth cousin and a fifth cousin from my second uncle's family were all there, as well as several young gentlemen and young ladies in gorgeous clothes, talking together.

The mother and two aunts were chatting happily with some ladies and did not care about Gu Jinzhi's siblings, so Gu Jinzhi took his younger brother and went to his cousin's place.

Among this group of children, except for the two children of Yanling Prefect Hu Zeyu, the others are all members of the Song family. They are all cousins ​​of Gu Jinzhi, so there is no need to avoid suspicion.

Seeing Gu Jinzhi coming, her cousin Song Yanfan came up to her first, smiled and held her hand: "My cousin is very powerful, and my mother's disease is my cousin's favorite."

Such remarks have been circulating for a long time, but no one believes them.

After hearing Song Yanfan's words, the children all echoed and said, "My cousin is so awesome," "My cousin is so amazing," and so on.

"How awesome is it?" Amidst the overflowing praise, there were discordant questions, "Gu Jinzhi, have you finished reading all the medical books? Do you know the pharmacology of the prescriptions you prescribe?"

Following the voice, I saw a pretty girl with a double bun and a moon-white trousers embroidered with plum blossoms and snow patterns, with a faint smile.

There was a hint of undisguised sarcasm in his smile.

The children were quiet for a while.

This girl is not from the Song family, she is Hu Jie, the daughter of the prefect Hu Zeyu.

Hu Jie is also from Kyoto. She moved from the capital to Yanling Prefecture with her parents when they took office the year before last.

Gu Jinzhi had met Hu Jie as early as when he was in the capital, and they had a little holiday.

Hu Jie's father, Hu Zeyu, was a cousin of Marquis Yongxi. Cousins ​​who were born in the third server originally had little family ties. However, Hu Zeyu was good at socializing, so Marquis Yongxi took good care of him.

That year, the wife of the Marquis Yongxi Mansion celebrated her birthday. Gu Jinzhi followed his mother Song Pan'er to pay her respects. He happened to meet Mrs. Hu and Hu Jie in front of the Chuihua Gate.

Mrs. Hu greeted Song Paner warmly.

Song Pan'er was of a straightforward nature and liked to get along with others without any suspicion, so she started chatting with Mrs. Hu and entered the Weeping Flower Gate together.

Gu Jinzhi and Hu Jie were about the same age, so Mrs. Hu asked Gu Jinzhi his birthday. After talking about it, it turned out that Hu Jie and Gu Jinzhi were of the same year, month and day.

This is a bit of a fate.

When they arrived at Mrs. Yongxi's flower hall, Mrs. Hu told Mrs. Hu about the incident again.

Mrs. Hu was very happy when she saw the two pink and jade-carved dolls, who were born on the same day in the same year and month, and rewarded each of them with a purse.

While they were sitting at the table, Mrs. Yongxihou kept Gu Jinzhi and Hu Jie safe in one place.

That year, Gu Jinzhi had just turned five years old.

She was sitting there eating quietly and listening to the show, but Hu Jie smiled and said to Gu Jinzhi, "Look what's in your pocket."

Gu Jinzhi didn't want to talk to such a little brat, so she said, "Just like you."

Hu Jie was very curious and insisted on watching.

She was a young girl in the family, and her parents and older brothers gave her no mercy, so she developed a strong and domineering character.

Gu Jinzhi remained unmoved and continued to eat and listen to the opera, pretending that the nagging Hu Jie did not exist.

She thought that if Hu Jie was so left out, she would find it boring and shut up after saying a few words.

Unexpectedly, Hu Jie got angry and hit Gu Jinzhi's hand: "Why are you ignoring people? You are too ignorant of etiquette!" She taught Gu Jinzhi a lesson like a little adult.

There were other ladies at the same table, all looking at them as if they were watching a good show.

The back of Gu Jinzhi's hand was a little red from being beaten by Hu Jie, and the ivory chopsticks in his slippery hand fell to the ground.

She didn't know how to behave like a little kid, so she asked the maid to change her chopsticks.

Who would have known that Hu Jie hit it again just after she got it.

"Stop making trouble, everyone else is laughing at it." Gu Jinzhi said in a coaxing tone.

Hu Jie was furious.

A five-year-old child has a limited understanding of human nature and sophistication, and is somewhat petty.

Hu Jie was annoyed by Gu Jinzhi again.

"That's a joke on you!" Hu Jie said loudly, "You are like a barbarian and don't understand etiquette. When I talk to you, you don't pay attention!"

The whole table and even the people at the two next tables were watching them.

Gu Jinzhi had no intention of teaching Mrs. Hu's daughter, so he asked the maid to bring a pair of chopsticks.

Hu Jie hit him again.

This is a bit naughty.

Gu Jinzhi was always strict with naughty children. She happened to have a cup of tea at hand, so she picked up the teacup and threw it over, confusing Hu Jie's face.

The tea stems hung on her face. Hu Jie stared in disbelief as the tea beads slid down her face.

The children were stunned at first, and then laughed.

Everyone looked over. Hu Jie looked really funny, which made the whole room burst into laughter.

Only then did Hu Jie burst into tears.

Later, this incident was talked about a lot, and Hu Jie was laughed at for a long time. But Gu Jinzhi didn't know.

She left the capital with her parents half a year later.

Because of this little holiday, Hu Jie still hates Gu Jinzhi.

Gu Jinzhi smiled.

"Well, I've finished reading the book, and I also know the pharmacology." Gu Jinzhi replied. If he continued to ignore her, maybe Hu Jie would still be unwilling to let him go.

As she gets older, it would be a bit rude to do something like pouring tea on her.

Her tone was calm, as if someone asked her if she had eaten, and she replied that she had.

Hu Jie was originally provocative, but when she was sent back with such a heavy hand, she felt even more unhappy: Why does Gu Jinzhi always look arrogant and indifferent, treating children of the same age as his juniors?

"Then look, am I sick?" Hu Jie was at a disadvantage and felt very angry, so she asked directly.

Her brother Hu Zhuo pulled her sleeve.

Hu Jie glared at her brother.

Gu Jinzhi looked at her carefully.

"There is heat poison in your body, and it is late poison. Once it attacks, it will be a sign of throat paralysis. You should see a doctor seriously and take some bezoars and musk," Gu Jinzhi said.

The children were all startled when he said this, and everyone couldn't help but look at Hu Jie's face.

Hu Jie was furious and thought Gu Jinzhi was teasing her.

"From autumn and winter to spring, where does the heat and poison come from?" Hu Jie asked bitterly.

"I told you, late poison." Gu Jinzhi said, "did you suffer from heatstroke during the tiger season last year? The heat poison lurked in the body and did not come out. Then came the cool autumn and winter and spring, so it lurked in the body. Now at the beginning of summer, a

If it gets hot every day, it will attack. The poison is most severe at night, so be careful."

Hu Jie's brother Hu Zhuo suddenly narrowed his eyes.

Gu Jinzhi was right. During the tiger season last year, the weather was too hot. Hu Jie followed her mother up the mountain to offer incense. She walked too much and was sweating all over. She was caught by the wind and cold when she came back.

Could it be that…….

Hu Zhuo looked at Gu Jinzhi again.

Second cousin Song Yanzhao saw this and immediately stood in front of Gu Jinzhi with caution and glared at Hu Zhuo.

Hu Zhuo smiled awkwardly and looked away.

"Have a good Dragon Boat Festival, what are you talking about?" Song Yanzhao said, and then said to Gu Jinzhi, "This year's Five Poison Cake at home, I personally painted it."

Gu Jinzhi smiled.

Hu Jie also turned around to talk to others.

But she was still very angry.
