Chapter 40: White Peony
There are a few white peony plants planted in the garden, the ice is clear and jade, crystal clear, the peony is the most brilliant in white, it is obviously the color of the plain light, the flowers bloom but are beautiful. This flower is called "Jade Pan Yu", which was moved from the Yonghua Palace of the Queen Mother.
Gu Jinzhi sat at the white marble table next to the white peony, and there was a purple sandalwood bird cage on the table, but there were no birds in the bird cage, it was empty.
"Shizi, the little one saw a thrush in the town in front of me, which is exactly the same as Miss Seven's original one, why don't you buy it back?" A young man dressed as a small guy asked cautiously with a smile on his face.
As soon as Seventh Miss Gu Yanran returned to the capital, the prince played her baby thrush to death, and Miss Seven was already sulking, if she knew about it, she would go to Mrs. to file a complaint, and the prince would have to let Grandpa Guo scold.
"Don't talk about the birds, little hook, how is the thing I asked you to inquire about?" Gu Jinzhi's eyes stared at the jade plates, and asked casually.
The little guy named Xiao Hook hurriedly said: "The little one inquired, the two young ladies of the Jin family just came a few days ago, and one of them is twelve or thirteen years old. ”
"The Jin family? The living God of Wealth Jin family? Gu Jinzhi's spiritual head suddenly came, and a pair of good-looking eyes also shone brightly.
"Shi Ziye is right, it is the Jin family, the living god of wealth, and his family also has a Zhuangzi here, and there is a road from behind his Zhuangzi to the Fog Pavilion, which is not far from where you said."
Gu Jinzhi got up and walked out, walked a few steps but turned back, and asked Xiao Gou: "What does that twelve or thirteen-year-old Miss Jin family look like and what is her name?" ”
"That's Miss Jin Wu, she is the daughter of the third room of the Jin family, her father is now working in the Yamen of the Jingji of the Ministry of Households, as for the appearance......" Xiao Hook made a bitter face, how could the young lady of the big family be seen casually, and he didn't know what he looked like.
Gu Jinzhi didn't care, he just knew that it was Miss Jin Wu, everything else was easy to inquire, his eyes looked at the jade plates again, and suddenly reached out and pinched the best blooming one.
"Ouch, my lord, this is Miss Seven's baby, Miss Seven herself is reluctant to pick it, you ......" Before Xiao Hook's voice fell, Gu Jinzhi had already pinched off one.
"Go and get a pair of scissors for the master, pick up the good ones, cut them all out, and send them to Miss Jin Wu."
Xiao Hook is really stupid, the prince is really uncomfortable, I have seen the Miss Jin Wu once, this is going to send flowers to others, let the grandfather of the country know, the prince may not be beaten.
But looking at the excitement of the prince, Xiaogou didn't want to stop it, the prince was pitiful enough, he couldn't go back to his home, so he could only hide in the Zhuangzi far away from the capital, and finally found a fun thing, so let him follow. Besides, that Miss Jin Wu is only twelve or thirteen years old, and she has not yet reached the age where she can be happy, so the prince will not have anything out of the ordinary.
Seeing Xiao Hook go out with flowers, Gu Jinzhi simply followed, Xiao Gou went to the door in front of the Jin family Zhuangzi, and he sat on a big locust tree not far away and waited.
There is a small stream outside the Jin family Zhuangzi, the stream flows down from the mountain, and a few water ducks are playing in it, Gu Jinzhi suddenly feels that the place chosen by the Jin family to build the Zhuangzi is also good, surrounded by mountains and water, much better than his own Zhuangzi.
Little Hook is right, he is now homeless. Father can always find out if he is like this or that, and when he sees him, he scolds him once, and he even moves the board a few times. Fortunately, his father was busy with official business and didn't have time to come to Xiling, so he could still have a place to stay, so as not to see his father's face.
The door of the Jin family opened and closed, and when it was opened again, a maid wearing an emerald green armor came out, Gu Jinzhi looked at the flower in the hand of the maid, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
The little girl must have been very strange to see him send flowers, she had seen him, and she would definitely go to the place where he met that day and ask him face to face, so that he could see her again, and then have a good competition with her.
Everyone who can do light work is beautiful, and it is the first time he has encountered it.
"What does the maid say?" Gu Jinzhi asked Xiao Hook.
"I didn't say anything, not even a thank you." Xiao Gou is secretly glad that the Jin family didn't beat him out with a big stick, and he was really lucky.
Gu Jinzhi was a little disappointed, and asked again: "Then does she know that I sent it?" ”
"Yes." When Xiao Hook said this, he suddenly remembered something, and he was so frightened that he quickly covered his mouth.
But his movements were too obvious, and Gu Jinzhi saw them all: "What's wrong?" Hurry up. ”
Xiaogou is about to cry, this time he really messed up the errand, how will the prince play next!
"Lord Shizi, it's a small one, damn it, or you can find something to send to Miss Jin Wu, and the little one will run again."
Xiao Hook cried, he has been following Shi Ziye since he was six years old, and there are not a hundred or eighty things that are messed up, as long as he speaks in this tone, Shi Ziye will definitely not punish him.
Gu Jinyi sat on the big bluestone on the side of the road, listless: "Did you just say that you sent flowers, and didn't say that you sent flowers to me?" ”
Xiao Hook had no choice but to nod, the prince is really a roundworm in his stomach, no, phew, how can the prince be a roundworm, the prince is a gold worm and a silver worm, a rich and auspicious worm.
"The little one said...... This is for Miss Jin Wu...... The doorman went to call the maid, but the maid didn't ask, took the flowers and went in. The little one remembered it now, but he really didn't say it......"
Gu Jinzhi sighed and looked up at the sky. It's boring, the sky is no longer blue, the clouds are not white, it is not interesting at all.
"Lord Shizi, why don't we go and send it again?" Xiao Gou whispered tentatively, this time he must have made a big fanfare that it was sent by the prince, so let that Miss Jin Wu be flattered, his own prince has not sent flowers to the girl.
"Still going? She'd treat me as a flower seller. Gu Jinzhi was angry.
Xiao Hook thought about it, isn't it, those flower sellers send flowers to the ladies and ladies in the house for free every once in a while, in order to buy more and more expensive flowers and trees from the house.
If the prince went to send flowers one after another, Miss Jin Wu must have thought that the Zhenguo Mansion had opened a new flower and wood field.
"That prince, what do you say to send, the little one will go."
Gu Jinzhi shook his head, he didn't know what to send.
"Forget it, let's go to town and buy that bird for Yanran's girl."
Xiaogou was happy, who said that the prince didn't have ears, and he heard what he said at that time.
"Lord Shizi, even if Miss Seven knows that this bird is not the one before, she will be happy to see that you put so much effort into buying it back for her."
Gu Jinzhi snorted: "She won't be happy, she came from all over the capital, but she didn't even see half a shadow, but as soon as she left, people came, if she knew, it would be strange if she could be happy." ”
Xiaogou thinks about it, the queen wants to marry the seventh lady to the twelve princes, the lady cried into tears after hearing about it, who would give a flower-like girl to a wasted person, poor Miss Seven heard that the twelve princes were going to come to Xiling to live, so she ran from the capital, wanting to see the legendary twelve princes with her own eyes, but she didn't expect to wait here for more than ten days, and she didn't see the shadow of the twelve princes.
