231 Apology(1/2)
The Tan family’s banquet was not as happy as it was, but it was a real failure.
Song Pan'er had a blue face and was full of anger, which surprised the mother Song and Haitang who were greeting her at the door of the hanghua.
Gu Jinzhi's face was also gloomy.
This is something big, Mother Song thought.
Haitang wanted to help Song Pan'er walk in, but Song Pan'er left her hand and rushed into the inner courtyard angrily.
Mother Song and Haitang looked at Gu Jinzhi with inquiries in their eyes.
Gu Jinzhi had no expression, and followed his mother and entered the inner courtyard.
"Go back to the house to change your clothes, take a break and have a meal..." After a while, Song Paner came to sit down at the main courtyard and sat down, he finally gave Gu Jin a lesson.
She said good to Gu Jinzhi.
Song's mother knew that Song Pan'er was not angry with Gu Jinzhi.
Gu Jin's way is to leave the main academy.
Song's mother personally took her out of the yard and pulled her sleeve slightly: "Sister Jin, what's wrong today? Who is the madam angry with?"
Gu Jinzhi pondered for a while, his eyes were a little dark, and finally smiled slightly, saying, "It's okay..." and then turned around and left.
Mother Song was even more confused.
Song Paner in the house did not relieve her expression at all.
The people serving the room were all holding their breath and no one dared to ask.
——*—*——
Gu Jinyi returned to his yard.
Zhu Zhongjun came back long ago and bought a lot of little rabbits, asking Sun Ke to put it in a box and put it on the kang.
Nichang, Weirui and Youhe were having fun.
There are wood carvings and clay sculptures.
There were also a few jade-carved ones hidden in Zhu Zhongjun's pocket.
When Gu Jinyi came back, he gave him gifts to Gu Jinzhi like he offered him a treasure, and his attitude was very respectful.
The maids all laughed.
Gu Jinzhi also smiled, grabbed the slightly cool Jade Rabbit in his hand, sat down and played with it carefully.
The four rabbits are all the same as thumbs, but the carvings are particularly exquisite. The jade is of excellent quality and the workmanship is even more exquisite.
The skilled craftsmen in the city will not be able to use such good jade or such meticulous work to be a rabbit man because it is not worth it.
Gu Jinzhi asked: "Did you specially customize it?"
Everyone looked over.
Zhu Zhongjun denied it.
"Buy it," he said, "there are everywhere on the street."
"Lying." Gu Jinzhi said firmly.
Even in later generations, the refining technology becomes more and more mature, such jade will not be wasted as such a gadget, let alone in ancient times?
But Gu Jinzhi was not in the mood to continue talking.
She thanked her and handed the four jade rabbits to Nishang. She asked Nishang to put them away: "Let's find four beautiful little gift bags to pack them, and give them a few of them tomorrow..."
Gu Jinzhi happened to have four younger brothers, and Zhu Zhongjun also happened to buy four.
I also said it was not customized...
Nichang said that is.
But there were still many clay sculptures and wood sculptures on the kang. Nishang asked Gu Jinzhi: "Do you put these away?"
Gu Jinzhi looked at Zhu Zhongjun and saw that he didn't care much, so he said, "Pick a few and put them away. Others. You can also play with them..."
The maids were very happy and helped Nishang put away a few of them. The rest were divided.
Compared with the maids in the yard of Song Paner, Gu Jinzhi's maids all have a little bit of a childish mind.
Maybe they are like Gu Jinzhi, who has no worries about food and clothing, and they have respect for others wherever they go, and they have no intrigues. They have retained a bit of the simplicity of girls.
It seems that I am very interested when I see something fun...
After putting away these gadgets, Nishang ordered the little maid to fetch water to wash Gu Jinzhi's face.
After washing his face, he served Gu Jinzhi to change his clothes.
After some rectification, Gu Jinzhi sat on the small kang in the inner room to have tea.
Zhu Zhongjun also entered her inner room, sat next to her, and asked her if there was anything fun to do when she went to the Tan family today.
When Gu Jinzhi mentioned this, he looked at Ni Shang and Wei Rui who were serving in the inner room and asked them to go out first.
When the maids went out and there were only her and Zhu Zhongjun left in the room, she said, "It's not very good..."
Zhu Zhongjun sat upright and listened carefully to her.
"...At the door of the back garden of the Tan family, there was a little girl holding my legs and calling me an aunt. Everyone around was watching." Gu Jinzhi said, "So young child, in front of so many people."
I shouldn't have thought about anything I shouted out in front of me. But this will spread all over tomorrow... My mother got angry on the spot..."
Isn’t the concubine, isn’t it?
Zhu Zhongjun's face also sank instantly.
"What does this mean?" He asked Gu Jinzhi.
"...I thought a lot along the way, and it was a little hard to say." Gu Jinzhi said, "The child was crying and making a fuss, and everyone around him was watching. If tomorrow is not revealed, rumors will fly all over the sky.
I have always been in the limelight, but I am afraid there is something more to say.
Of course, there would be nothing good. If the child was sincere, the Tan family would have a concubine who looked similar to me; if not, someone would not want me to marry you, causing trouble to ruin my reputation, and let people
I'm guessing about me, and everyone's words can make gold..."
Zhu Zhongjun suddenly stood up.
The gloom in his eyes had turned into anger.
He clenched his fists tightly and walked slowly around the room.
Tan Family...
Zhang He Hou Tan's family, the eldest prince's foreign family...
Did the Tan family’s spearhead point to Gu Yantao of the Gu family? Or was the emperor instructed to ruin the marriage between Gu Jinzhi and Zhu Zhongjun and pave the way for Gu Jinzhi to enter the palace?
All the people and things in Beijing poured into his mind for a moment.
He thought, and wanted to make a judgment as fast as possible.
But Gu Jinzhi made trouble at this time. She took Zhu Zhongjun's hand and let him sit on the kang, interrupting Zhu Zhongjun's thoughts.
"On the way back, I told my mother that I would hold on to the army first and see what the Tan family will do next. Don't cause trouble..." Gu Jinzhi said to Zhu Zhongjun.
Zhu Zhongjun glared at her.
"Don't move?" he said, "If you don't seize the initiative, you will only be at the mercy of others!"
"It is easy to fall into a trap when acting rashly!" Gu Jin's way.
Both of them insisted on their own opinion, and neither of them wanted to compromise.
Zhu Zhongjun saw Gu Jinzhi's serious expression, which looked like he was young. At that time, he always forced Gu Jinzhi to learn from him, and could grow up like him, and protect herself when he was not around.
Gu Jinzhi almost copied his style of conduct.
Such a woman has been marked by Zhu Zhongjun. Even if she does not belong to him, she cannot belong to others. Zhu Zhongjun is very satisfied with such results.
He suddenly leaned over and gently hugged Gu Jinzhi's shoulder.
Gu Jinzhi didn't expect him to move like this. The person stopped there, without moving, and let Zhu Zhongjun hold her.
"Gu Jinzhi, are you sincere? You will only marry me in this life?" Zhu Zhongjun asked Gu Jinzhi softly, "No matter what happened..."
"No." Before he finished speaking, Gu Jinzhi spoke up.
Zhu Zhongjun pushed her away angrily.
Gu Jinzhi laughed.
With such a smile, she felt much better.
After changing his clothes, he also joked with Zhu Zhongjun. Gu Jinzhi thought of his mother's still angry mood and said to Zhu Zhongjun: "I'll go to my mother's side, she's still angry..."
Zhu Zhongjun said: "I'll go too."
He wanted to see if he could hear something else from Song Paner.
Gu Jinzhi became more and more smart. The information she heard from her was deeply processed by her. What she wanted Zhu Zhongjun to know might filter out important links.
