Chapter 1: Entering Beijing
In spring and March, the weather is getting warmer. The cold has faded, but the branches of the trees are still bare, and even the weeds on the roadside have turned yellow after a cold winter.
A courtyard in the Duke of Dingguo is purple and red. As soon as you enter, it is as if you have come to a paradise.
Flowers and plants grow in a staggered manner in the courtyard, and green vines entangle around the entire courtyard wall.
No matter how cold and cold the weather was some time ago, the flowers and plants in this small courtyard were not afraid at all, and they were blooming lively.
In the house, a girl about twelve or thirteen years old was half-leaning in front of the window, looking at the flowers and plants in the courtyard with a pair of autumn eyes.
She was wearing a lake-colored embroidered skirt, with a little silver thread at the hem of the skirt outlining the pattern of butterflies and peonies. Faintly ahead, the butterflies fluttering in the skirt seem to come to life.
She is the sixth lady of the Dingguo Mansion, Gu Jin.
Gu Jin's green silk was in a bun, and her hair was decorated with a bead chain made of one hundred and eight eastern pearls. Those pearls are large or small, and they are all very rounded.
Looking at the glossy light reflected by those eastern pearls in the sun, without exception, these eastern pearls are all of the highest quality.
In his previous life, Gu Jin, as a cultivator in another world, sacrificed himself in a catastrophe. Then he forgot the past and was reincarnated as the sixth girl of the Zhenguo Mansion.
Since she was injured and endangered four years ago, Gu Jin has remembered everything in her previous life. Awakening along with her memories are the exercises she has practiced.
But every time she tried to practice with these exercises, she always felt that something was holding her back.
After many times, Gu Jin also understood something, so he gave up and stopped practicing.
Gu Jin's health has been poor since four years ago. Fortunately, although she is not allowed to practice here, she can make pills.
In her previous life, she walked the Dan Dao, and there were hundreds of Dan prescriptions engraved in her mind.
Therefore, due to the limitations of this realm, although it is not possible to refine the elixir that heals the flesh and bones of the dead, some pills that strengthen the body are not a problem.
With the pill to recuperate, her body has gradually improved over the years, and she set off back to Kyoto.
Gu Jin wandered out of the world, and a handsome girl dressed as a maid in a light purple dress, about twelve or thirteen years old, walked over.
"It's getting late, it's time for the girl to go and greet the old lady." This person is one of the big girls beside Gu Jin, Zi Su.
Gu Jin turned around, and Zi Su stepped forward to tidy up the clothes on her body.
"Let's go."
"The slave has seen the county master." Seeing Gu Jin walk out, the maids and mothers-in-law in the courtyard all stopped their work and bowed in unison.
Gu Jin is not only the sixth girl of the Dingguo Mansion, but also the lord of Rongtai who is personally named by the saint. It's just that Zisu and the others are out with Gu Jin, and they are used to calling girls on weekdays.
"Excuse me. As soon as the words fell, Gu Jin took the two of them out of the courtyard.
Shiso Ziyuan and Zizhi Cyanosis, who was tidying up housekeeping in the backyard, had been serving Gu Jin since they were children. And the maids and daughters-in-law in this garden were all temporarily transferred by the Duchess of Dingguo when Gu Jin returned to the house yesterday.
The old lady of the Dingguo Mansion gave birth to three sons and one daughter, and the eldest son is the current Dingguo Gong.
Dingguo Gong married the Li family of the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion and gave birth to two sons and one daughter. In addition, there are three concubines under his name.
The second son's family, except for the third lady Gu Wan, who stayed in the mansion to raise him, has been sent abroad because of the emperor's order, and it has been ten years since then.
The third son married the county lord of Changping of King Ning's mansion and gave birth to two sons and a daughter, and Gu Jin was the third concubine.
