Chapter 34: Gu Mansion
The Gu Mansion Garden is not big but very exquisite, the ladies who come to visit have Mrs. Gu to entertain and talk in the flower hall in front, and the ladies can't sit still and want to go out to visit the garden, so they are accompanied by Miss Gu Xin of the Gu family.

The chill of March has not yet completely subsided. However, although the breeze is slightly cool, the fragrance of flowers is elegant, so compared to sitting in the flower hall with the ladies, Zi Mo is still quite happy to come out for a walk. Although she is actually a little cold in her hands and feet.
For example, at this moment, Xing Le asked her, "Sister Zimo, are you cold?" ”
Zi Mo looked at her in some surprise, and then nodded and said, "It's okay, it's not very cold." ”
Xing Le didn't believe it, frowned and stretched out his hand to hold Zi Mo's hand: "Your hands are so cold." ”
"Since childhood." Zi Mo smiled, "In winter, my hands are colder than other people's. However, I don't feel cold myself. ”
Xing Le nodded, thought for a while, and said, "Then I'll take you." My hands are not cold, and they are always hot, and my mother said that I am a natural little hand stove. ”
Zi Mo smiled and nodded her nose: "You are so cute." ”
Xing Le's face was slightly red, he blinked and didn't speak, but his hand was firmly holding Zi Mo's hand, and he really took what he just said as a task to complete.
"Fifth sister, who is this?"
Cheng Ziyun walked over, and they were sitting in a pavilion in the orchid garden at the moment. Cheng Ziyun was just curious to follow the others to see a purple orchid, but when she turned around to find Zimo, she found that she was sitting with a little girl in red with her eyes talking.
Hearing this, Xing Le turned his head and looked at Cheng Ziyun with some curiosity.
She turned around, and Cheng Ziyun saw the hands of the two of them holding together, and her face suddenly changed, staring at Zimo strangely.
"This is the younger sister of the Xing family." Zi Mo introduced the two of them, "This is my seventh sister." ”
Xing Le nodded and said very kindly, "My name is Xing Le." His hand was still holding Zi Mo's hand and didn't let go.
The corners of Cheng Ziyun's eyes twitched, and his face was a little unsightly: "Cheng Ziyun." As he spoke, he walked over, stood in front of the two of them, thought about it, pursed his lips, sat down, and squeezed the two of them apart.
Xing Le looked at her a little strangely, but Zi Mo thought of something, so he looked at her with his arms around for a long time.
"I'm just tired from walking and want to sit down and rest for a while." Cheng Ziyun's face did not change color.
"Oh, that's as it should be. But there are so many locations here...... Zi Mo looked around, and then looked at Cheng Ziyun, "Why did you squeeze between us?" ”
"I, I, I like it." Cheng Ziyun said, and after speaking, he turned his head and glared at Zi Mo and said, "Fifth sister, why do you have so many questions today?" Are you a hundred thousand why? ”
"One hundred thousand whys" was still heard by Cheng Ziyun from Zimo. Zinuo is young, he is curious about everything, and he is the most relaxed and child-like in front of Zi Mo, always asking her countless questions, and when there is a ****, Zi Mo nodded his head and said, "Are you 100,000 why?" It happened to be heard by Cheng Ziyun.
Zi Mo looked at her with a smile and said, "Well, it's barely counted." ”
Cheng Ziyun turned her head in anger and ignored her.
"You let Jean, Sister Zimo's hands are cold, I want to warm her hands."
Cheng Ziyun tilted his head again, glared at Xing Le and said, "What kind of hands are warm!" ”
Xing Le looked at her strangely: "Aren't you the younger sister of Sister Zi Mo?" You don't know? ”
Cheng Ziyun looked at Zimo again with a questioning expression.
"She just saw that my hands were cold, so she held me and wanted to warm my hands." After Zi Mo finished speaking, he added unkindly, "Are you thinking crooked?" ”
Cheng Ziyun coughed dryly twice: "Who, who wants to be crooked." Isn't it just to warm your hands, I'll help you warm up, it just so happens that I think my hands are hot and there is no place to dissipate heat. As he spoke, he was about to pull Zi Mo's hand.
"Come on, I look like some weak woman." Zi Mo looked at her with disgust, "I'm not cold." ”
Cheng Ziyun glared at Zi Mo with an aggrieved face, and said in his heart: It's not cold, you let the family hold your hand!
Cheng Ziyun was jealous.
Zi Mo held back a smile.
At this time, Gu Xin and several other young ladies also entered the pavilion.
"Sister Gu's family has so many varieties of orchids, the bamboo leaf orchid just now grew really well, my mother also raised one before, but it died before it bloomed."
"Yes, yes, I heard that the orchids in the house are all taken care of by Lord Gu himself, but I didn't expect Lord Gu to raise a good flower."
Gu Xin walked in front, Cheng Zixue accompanied her, the two of them were blue and white, both of them were beautiful and beautiful, but they were different, and they were very good-looking.
Gu Xin turned around and said something to the young ladies who were asking, and when he turned around and saw Zi Mo and the others who had been sitting here, he walked towards them with a smile.
"Isn't it a little cold? Although it is March, the temperature is still a little low. ”
Zi Mo just wanted to shake her head and say that it was not cold, but the two people next to her interrupted what she was about to say in unison.
"I'm not cold, she's cold."
"I'm not cold, she's cold."
Cheng Ziyun and Xing Le pointed at Zimo at the same time.
Zi Mo: "......"
Gu Xin looked at her.
"I'm not cold, it's just that my hands are a little cold." Zi Mo hurriedly got up, and was afraid that she wouldn't believe it, "I'll be like this in winter, really." ”
"But it's spring."
"But it's spring."
Cheng Ziyun and Xing Le said in unison again.
Zi Mo: "......"
Gu Xin couldn't help but smile and proposed, "I've been watching it for so long, why don't we go to the house and sit down and have some snacks." ”
Gu Xin's proposal was naturally not objected to.
Zi Mo smiled gratefully at her, and Gu Xin gave her a smile back.
There were already maids in the house who had prepared refreshments, and the group was comfortable sitting and chatting.
During this period, Gu Lang, the son of the Gu family, came back from the Guozi Prison to ask his mother for peace, and also brought some peach blossom cakes from Juxianglou for his mother, which caused all the ladies to praise and envy Mrs. Gu's good fortune. Mrs. Gu also specially ordered to send some peach blossom cakes over to taste with the young ladies.
A girl couldn't help but be curious: "Gu Gongzi is really filial, I heard that because Mrs. Gu loves to eat the new peach blossom cake in Juxiang Building, Gu Gongzi will go to Juxiang Building every day to buy it and bring it back for Mrs. Gu to eat." ”
Gu Xin smiled when he heard this: "It's not so exaggerated, it's just occasional." ”
She said this, but others didn't believe it.
The dim sum in Juxiang Building is sold in limited quantities every day, which is said to ensure that it is absolutely fresh when it is made and sold. There is an ancient wooden sign in front of the store, and the list of daily limited dim sums, the number of servings and the price will be written on paper in advance, so it is usually in short supply, and there is a long queue of people in front of the store every day to buy them. Peach blossom crisp is not available every day, and you have to wait in line to wait for people to buy it, so it naturally becomes occasional.
Thinking like this in their hearts, others even felt that the Gu family's son was really filial. And I heard that Xiao Xiao, the son of the Gu family, is like his mother, born with a face like jade, and is polite, and he entered the Guozijian at a young age...... Thinking like this, many girls' little faces were slightly red, and Ai Ai came to Gu Xin's side and surrounded her and asked questions.
Zi Mo didn't think about it so much, she stared at the peach blossom cake in front of her, picked up a piece casually and held it up.
Pale pink petals, white stamens, a little red in the center of the stamens, from the shape of the look, it is really a pink and white peach blossom. Then close to the tip of the nose, sniff gently, the faint fragrance of peach blossoms lingers on the tip of the nose, if there is nothing.
Unexpectedly, she just put forward some suggestions for improvement, and Uncle Li himself had already made it so realistic and beautiful.
Zi Mo was happy and took a bite gently.
The fragrance is crispy, the tip of the tongue is slightly sweet, and a faint peach blossom fragrance instantly fills the lips and teeth, making people feel like they are in a pink peach blossom forest.
Zi Mo raised his eyebrows, Uncle Li's craftsmanship was really speechless.
