Gu Jinben accepted the invitation from Earl Qiu Ping's Mansion, but the snow was too heavy that day, so he discussed with Gu Haomian and pushed the banquet, and only ordered someone to send a New Year's gift.

The two brothers and sisters were happy because of this snow, but Gu Xiang didn't look very happy.

Something happened to the Yaji in the Marquis of Qinyang's Mansion that scared her, Gu Xiang came back afterwards and thought about it, and felt that her behavior of hiding behind Gu Jin and Gu Haomian that day was a bit out of style, and she wanted to wait for the Yaji of Earl Qiu Ping's Mansion to put this style right, but she didn't want Gu Jin and Gu Haomian to go.

Because of this, the three brothers and sisters quarreled at home, but Gu Haomian was the elder brother, and Gu Xiang didn't dare to make too much trouble, so the matter was over.

Gu Haomian took the opportunity of these two days to go to Zhuangzi outside the city, and sure enough, just like Gu Jin's previous guess when he checked the accounts, the deficit in Zhuangzi was more than a thousand taels.

The brother and sister made this matter clear to Gu Jiangyuan, and then handled the stewards in Zhuangzi according to the previous rules, so that the matter of the previous year was basically dealt with.

Gu Jin really lived a small life, and he hid in the house and thought about how to deal with the sticky Lu Guitang when he went to participate in the elegant gathering of the Prime Minister's Mansion in a few days.

The days passed quickly when they were idle, and when the snow stopped, it was the day when the Prime Minister's Mansion held an elegant gathering.

Unfortunately, in order to be in the limelight in the Prime Minister's Mansion yesterday, Gu Xiang ran out with the maid to buy new jewelry, but he caught up with the wind and snow and came back with a cold.

Chen Xiangsheng came to the house to take a look, it didn't matter if he was sick, but he couldn't go to the elegant collection of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

On this day, Gu Jin went out early and did not walk with Gu Haomian, today the Prime Minister's Mansion was busy, Wei Yuchuan beckoned her to go early.

Seeing Prime Minister Wei's family, Gu Jin was very happy.

Prime Minister Wei and Mrs. Wei are both elegant, although today's Yaji still listened to Lu Guitang's words and held a poetry meeting, but there was no lively scene in front of the Qinyang Marquis Mansion that day.

When Gu Jin came, only the housekeeper of the Xiangfu and a few little maids who had seen him before greeted him at the door, and Gu Jin did not annoy to lead the way, and he took Yun Qian Peihuan into the mansion.

Qi Meixuan.

Mama Li was instructing a few of her little maids to take care of the flowers and plants, and saw Gu Jin hurriedly greet her from a distance.

Gu Jinqing's eyes flashed, and his face showed a happy look: "What kind of heaven can you still cultivate chrysanthemums?" ”

In the courtyard of Qi Meixuan, a cluster of autumn chrysanthemums was happily born, and the purple and autumn flowers were quietly spat out in the snow of the day.

Mama Li's face was full of wrinkles with a smile, and she hurriedly replied: "It was Miss Biao who came up with a method, I heard that the climate in Runzhou is warm, and flowers can be raised in the greenhouse in winter. Mama Li said and went to pluck the petals, there was a cluster of residual leaves on it, and said: "I'm afraid this flower will freeze when I take it out, but my young lady said that Miss Gu likes this flower the most, and she has to put it out to see what she says." There are still in the flower room, remember to bring a few pots when Miss Gu leaves for a while. ”

Gu Jin responded to this, but there was some difficulty in understanding the meaning in his heart.

Wei Yuchuan remembered in her heart that she loved chrysanthemums and carefully cultivated these flowers, and she should have been deeply moved.

Can...... This flower was raised by Qiu Rongyan, what if she didn't want it?

Just as he was working hard, he heard Yan Cao's voice in the distance: "Is Miss Gu here?" My lady and lady are waiting for you! ”

Gu Jin said "hey", put down the flower matter for the time being, and went into the house to see Mrs. Wei.

In the house, Mrs. Wei, Wei Yuchuan and Qiu Rongyan were all there.

Today is a small year, the saint is a treasure, and Prime Minister Wei Cheng went to the palace to collect official documents, and he will not come back for a while.

Without waiting for Gu Jin to salute, Mrs. Wei opened her mouth with a sudden: "Come and sit down, it's cold outside, but Yuchuan has to ask you to come early." ”

Gu Jin sat down on the chair as he said, and the house was warm, and it was indeed warm.

She smiled: "If you can come to Madame here for a while more than others, no one can wait for it." ”

Mrs. Wei sighed, and said to Wei Yuchuan: "Look, it must be that I have eaten too much at the banquet in the past two days, and the most upright second lady has also played with me." ”

Gu Jin smiled softly, knowing that this was Mrs. Wei's joke, so he didn't say much, but only stretched out his hand to ask the little maid next to him to take the tea.

Gu Jin lowered his head and took a bite, but his brows couldn't help but froze.

"It's ...... Miss Qiu's fried tea? ”

That day, when Gu Jin bumped into Qiu Rongyan in the small pavilion in the main hall of the Marquis of Qinyang, she was making a sencha, although she was chased back by Gu Jin immediately, but Gu Jin had an impression of the fragrance of tea in that room.

Qiu Rong's fried tea is a little different, and the taste brings some smoke and rain from the south of the Yangtze River, although it is elegant, it is also immature.

Sure enough, seeing Qiu Rongyan sitting opposite, smiled sweetly, and his tone was full of compliments: "No wonder my cousin always says that Sister Gu is smart, but with a cup of tea, you can guess who fried it." ”

Gu Jin smiled and did not answer.

Qiu Rongyan's words had already been prepared, she knew that Gu Jin would definitely be able to taste it, this flattery was not good.

Seeing that the scene was about to cool down, Wei Yuchuan smiled warmly: "Then where is she smart, is her tongue good, how much heat is used to fry a cup of tea, and how many bait tea cakes are knocked, she can analyze it all." ”

She has always been steady, and her playful words made the room laugh, and this chapter was revealed.

A few more people chatted in the room, and then a maid came in to pay respects, saying that His Royal Highness King Xian and the young general of the Gu family had arrived together.

Mrs. Wei's expression was obviously confused, all the guests in the Prime Minister's Mansion had been entertained by female guests over the years, and she had never held a poetry meeting, and this year she told Prime Minister Wei that the sons would be entertained by him, but now Prime Minister Wei is still in the palace and has not returned, how can she treat guests as a woman?

It's just that the guest who came was His Royal Highness King Xian, the number one person in the Variable City who couldn't be neglected, how could this be good?

Gu Jin scolded Lu Guitang's diligence a few more times in his heart, and then noticed Mrs. Wei's expression.

She opened her mouth to comfort: "Madame don't have to worry, listening to His Royal Highness King Xian's habit of pulling my brother to play chess these days, the two of them must have something to do when they get together." ”

After the last time the banquet of the Marquis of Qinyang was dispersed, Lu Guitang personally visited the door of the Gu Mansion several times, claiming that he had played a game of chess with Gu Haomian in the Marquis of Qinyang Mansion last time, and the winner had not been decided.

This matter has spread to the streets and alleys of Bianliang City, and the ladies of the family who admire King Xian still speculate whether Lu Guitang likes to play chess, I heard that the chess games in the study two days ago were robbed by someone, and it is enough to fight hard.

Mrs. Wei was a little relieved when she heard this, and said, "Then ......"

Gu Jin nodded, turned around and instructed Yun Xuan: "You go and explain to your brother in person, let him be sure to entertain His Royal Highness King Xian!" ”

The word "Xianwang", she bit very hard.
