In March, it was still cold in the capital city, and the wind was howling. It was not as bright as the spring scenery in the south of the Yangtze River.

Gu Jinzhi longed for her grandfather very stubbornly and refused to stop. She knew in her heart that her grandfather would never see her again.

The more I think about it, the more I sink into it and find it difficult to extricate myself.

In the whole family, she was the only one who was sad for so long.

When her grandfather left her in her previous life, she already had her son Rong Nan, and she had a place to rely on in her heart. But now, no one in this world, including her mother Song Pan'er, can replace her mentor and grandfather as her pillar of support.

She doesn't read or write, and spends all day embroidering.

The embroidery is not very good.

Zhu’s mother said to Song Pan’er: “Young girl is showing off with needlework, just to avoid worrying us.”

These words are enough to describe Gu Jinzhi's state.

She was just showing off with her needlework.

Song Paner was very anxious.

She persuaded Gu Jinzhi several times, and Gu Jinzhi agreed absentmindedly. Song Pan'er remembered that she had not studied medicine with her grandfather a few years ago, and she was often alone in a daze.

That look made it look as if nothing had anything to do with her.

Now it's like this again, which makes Song Pan'er very scared.

She was afraid that Gu Jinzhi would hold it back.

Before her worries had subsided, she heard that Zhu Zhongjun would be returning to Luzhou on the 15th of this month.

"Are you leaving?" Song Pan'er asked Zhu Zhongjun in shock.

Zhu Zhongjun said yes.

"Oh, what should I do about Sister Jin?" Song Pan'er blurted out in a hurry.

Zhu Zhongjun is always here, and he can still play with Gu Jinzhi. Now that he is leaving, Gu Jinzhi doesn't even have anyone to play with. Isn't it even worse?

"The Queen Mother said that I will come back next year to marry Xiaoqi. I will still come back." Zhu Zhongjun said to Song Pan'er very firmly.

Song Pan'er was amused by his serious look and said: "Yes, the prince will come back."

In a blink of an eye, it’s March 14th.

Time flies by.

Zhu Zhongjun saw that he was about to leave, but Gu Jinzhi was still immersed in her emotions and felt very annoyed.

On the 14th, he spent the whole day in Gu Jinzhi's yard.

Gu Jinzhi didn't talk to him, and was immersed in sewing alone.

I didn’t go to the upper room to have dinner.

The maids brought the food. Zhu Zhongjun ate with her.

After the maids and others had removed the dishes, Gu Jinzhi went back to the back room to do some work.

Zhu Zhongjun followed in.

Zhu's mother and Nishang knew that Zhu Zhongjun was leaving tomorrow, so the two little men didn't go in to disturb them because they had some thoughtful words to say.

There were only Gu Jinzhi and Zhu Zhongjun in the back room.

Zhu Zhongjun sat on the kang opposite Gu Jinzhi and snatched the needle and thread from her hand.

Only then did Gu Jinzhi look up at her.

"I'm leaving tomorrow, why don't you say goodbye to me?" Zhu Zhongjun said in a bad tone.

Gu Jinzhi was stunned for a moment and asked: "Is it already fourteen today?" She was a little uneasy, stood up and said, "It's too early for me, I haven't prepared anything for you..."

Zhu Zhongjun's heart suddenly softened.

He pulled Gu Jinzhi and asked her to sit next to him, and said softly: "It's okay. It's okay. You don't need to prepare anything, your mother has already arranged it."

After a pause, he asked again, "Are you reluctant to let go?"

Gu Jinzhi glanced at him.

Zhu Zhongjun looked at her with burning eyes.

"Yes." Gu Jinzhi said, "It's been two years, and we've been hanging out together every day, just like when we were in junior high school. Of course I can't let them go."

Zhu Zhongjun laughed.

His brows were raised, and he was handsome and handsome.

"Very good." Zhu Zhongjun said. "You are quite thoughtful."

Gu Jinzhi also laughed.

She asked Zhu Zhongjun: "Can you let me go?"

Zhu Zhongjun pondered for a moment and said: "I don't know...there is no need to let go. I don't have any feelings at all, and I don't recognize my relatives."

Gu Jinzhi smiled helplessly and gave him a gentle punch.

Zhu Zhongjun grabbed her hand, pulled her up, and sat on his lap.

He hugged her waist tightly, and when he raised his head, her lips were on his breath.

Zhu Zhongjun's heartbeat was a little fast.

He tried not to look strange and said to Gu Jinzhi in an ambiguous voice, "You like me, right?"

Gu Jinzhi smiled again.

"Say you like me." Zhu Zhongjun said.

Gu Jinzhi said obediently: "I like you."

Zhu Zhongjun raised his face slightly and kissed her.

Their lips and teeth were connected, her breath was sweet and alluring, Zhu Zhongjun was sucking her, his tongue had already penetrated her, entangled her in her mouth.

Gu Jinzhi also responded.

The two of them were a little confused and infatuated.

Zhu Zhongjun turned over and pushed Gu Jinzhi down on the kang.

"The proposal I made last time..." Zhu Zhongjun gasped a little, and ran his hands up Gu Jinzhi's clothes. He remembered the proposal that Gu Jinzhi rejected last time, "It's not like we haven't slept together. Okay, Gu Jinzhi

Of?"

Gu Jinzhi held down his restless hand.

She recommended Zhu Zhongjun.

Zhu Zhongjun didn't move, still pressing her tightly.

Gu Jinzhi turned his head to the side and said, "No. If you say this again, I will get angry."

"You are very stubborn." Zhu Zhongjun said bitterly.

"It's not that I'm stubborn." Gu Jinzhi turned to him, looked into his eyes and said, "I'm still in love. It's not allowed to do anything you ask me to do. You know that my grandfather is very important to me.

…”

Zhu Zhongjun placed a gentle kiss on her forehead.

"I'm sorry." he said.

Gu Jinzhi's face softened slightly.

"Gu Jinzhi, wait for me." Zhu Zhongjun said.

"Okay, I'll wait for you." Gu Jinzhi said, "Remember to come back and marry me, because I like you."

Zhu Zhongjun chuckled, satisfied, pecked her lips gently, and let her go.

At night, Gu Jinzhi was lying on the bed, thinking about Zhu Zhongjun.

She felt that she would not be able to let him go.

But on the second day when he was seeing him off, Gu Jinzhi burst into tears when he saw his carriage parked at the door, thinking about his companionship all day long for the past two years.

She felt extremely sad.

Maybe it was because of her grandfather's death that she had accumulated too much sadness in her heart. Zhu Zhongjun's departure was just the straw that broke the camel's back.

Anyway, she cried a lot that day.

Zhu Zhongjun and Song Pan'er were both coaxing her.

In the end, Zhu Zhongjun's eyes were wet. He wasn't pretending, he was just uncomfortable. He squeezed her hand tightly and whispered: "I left you for the last time, and I won't leave again. Don't cry, don't cry, wait."

When I come back, I will marry you."

Song Pan'er was surprised that this fool could say such a thing.

She immediately looked at Zhu Zhongjun with admiration.

Gu Jinzhi still kept crying.

She cried so hard that no one else dared to rush her.

So Zhu Zhongjun left the city two quarters of an hour late.

Maybe it was because Gu Jinzhi cried too much. This matter quickly reached the ears of the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother felt uncomfortable, so she invited Gu Jinzhi to the palace to talk.

She advised Gu Jinzhi: "This is the ancestral system. Zhongjun wants to return to his fiefdom. Good boy, the Ai family knows that you are reluctant to let go. You will come to the palace more often in the future. Let's talk..."

Gu Jinzhi nodded. His eyes became wet again.

The Queen Mother comforted her for a long time before letting her out of the palace.

His grandfather passed away and Zhu Zhongjun returned to Luzhou. It took Gu Jinzhi two days to calm down his ups and downs.

After crying once, the depression in her heart eased a lot.

On March 19th, Jiang Xin sent her a message asking her to go to Yuanxing Temple outside the city to offer incense. Gu Jinzhi agreed.

Although she didn't ask for anything.

Song Paner accompanied them.

It happened that Mrs. Jiang was fine, so she went along with her.

Gu Jinzhi and Jiang Xin were still young girls who had not yet grown hair. They accompanied their mother to worship the Bodhisattva, and then took their maids to wander around the temple.

Song Pan'er didn't stop him either.

Today they came to offer incense, and Mrs. Jiang had greeted the host in advance. There were not many people waiting in the temple at the moment.

Song Paner was very relieved.

She hoped that Gu Jinzhi could dispel the haze of the old man's death as soon as possible.

"What did you ask for?" Jiang Xin asked Gu Jinzhi as they walked around Yuanxing Temple. What kind of sign did you ask for just now?

Gu Jinzhi smiled and didn't tell her.

"The proposal went smoothly?" Jiang Xin said.

Gu Jinzhi was afraid that she would ask endless questions and he would never answer, which would be disappointing, so he nodded and said yes.

Jiang Xin laughed: "As expected. When I heard that King Luyang left, you cried so hard that you fainted, and the Queen Mother still called you and comforted you?"

Gu Jinzhi's eyes widened: "Who said that?"

"Everyone is talking about it." Jiang Xin blinked, "Is it true?"

"I cried, but I didn't faint." Gu Jinzhi said, "It's so disgusting, why did it get spread?"

Jiang Xin laughed loudly: "If you don't want others to know, you have to do nothing yourself..."

The two of them laughed while talking, and Jiang Xin laughed heartily.

Not far away, there were several ladies and ladies, surrounded by their families. They were also the female relatives of aristocratic families in the capital, coming to offer incense.

Jiang Xin was even more indifferent to people coming and going in Beijing than Gu Jinzhi.

She didn't recognize the person coming.

Gu Jinzhi recognized her as the eldest wife of the Tan family.

Mrs. Tan also saw her.

The two of them greeted each other.

When Jiang Xin heard that she was from the Tan family, she relaxed and called Mrs. Tan, but her attitude was very cold.

In this capital city, indifference will not offend people, but will make people dare not look down upon you. So Mrs. Tan was not displeased, she just thought in her heart, whose girl is this?

Such arrogance must come from someone of high status.

Mrs. Tan couldn't remember Jiang Xin's identity, but she felt familiar...

The rest of the Tan family did not dare to look at Gu Jinzhi for fear of appearing strange again.

Mrs. Tan said hello, said nothing more, and passed by Gu Jinzhi and Jiang Xin.

When the abbot came out, Mrs. Tan asked him by the way: "Are there any other people coming to offer incense in the temple today?"

"Mrs. Jiang, the Marquis of Yuanping, and Mrs. Gu San from the Gu family are here..." the host said.

Mrs. Tan knew that Jiang Xin was from the Jiang family.

Jiang Xin looks like her mother, Mrs. Jiang. Mrs. Tan and Mrs. Jiang are relatively familiar, no wonder Jiang Xin looks familiar...

After finding out Jiang Xin's identity, Mrs. Tan felt that she was uneducated.

She didn't think much about it.

Today was to fulfill the wishes of our ancestors, so Mrs. Tan went to offer incense.

She had no intention of meeting Mrs. Jiang for a while.

"Didn't I promise my ancestors yesterday, and today I will help them fulfill their vows?" After Mrs. Tan finished worshiping the Bodhisattva, she asked the people around her, "Will he come yet? If he doesn't come, we will go back."

The second mistress next to me smiled and said, "The steward who came with me is outside. Why don't you ask someone to take a look?"

Mrs. Tan nodded with a smile.

——*——*——

This is yesterday's update... I'm sorry that I'm late again. My schedule is messed up again. As a homebody, it's harder to adjust than you think... Unfortunately, I have something to do tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, so I can't be stable. I'm so annoyed.
