It's not that far from Mayuan Lane of Gu Jinzhi's home to Qingguo Lane of Song's home.

Song Pan'er asked Gu Jinzhi's wet nurse, Zhu Mum, to accompany Gu Jinzhi.

On the way, the third cousin Song Yanfan was very happy and chatted with Gu Jinzhi: "...because the relatives of the second aunt's mother's family are here, my mother specially asked the steward to go to the village to get some fresh food, and thinking of you, she went to invite her.

I invited several close sisters from my family to come and sit with Hu Jie.

You didn't come.

I told my mother, ‘Today’s dish is suckling lamb, which my cousin likes best.’ Then my mother asked me to come and treat you in person... How can you thank me? My legs were broken.”

Gu Jinzhi teased her: "You are thinking of going out!"

Song Yanfan showed an exaggerated surprise: "You really have a bad conscience. When you come back in the carriage, what will you see when you go out? It's not like visiting a temple fair!"

Gu Jinzhi laughed.

Song Yanfan pretended to be annoyed and raised his hand to scratch her: "First apologize to me, and then thank me!"

Gu Jinzhi was ticklish, so the two sisters made a fuss in the carriage, and Gu Jinzhi's head accidentally hit the wall of the carriage.

Song Yanfan was so frightened that he hugged her and rubbed her again, and asked repeatedly: "Does it hurt?"

"No, no." Gu Jinzhi smiled quickly, then leaned forward slightly and pretended to say, "It turns out that I was talking nonsense and guessing about my cousin's kindness; secondly, my cousin came to invite me in person..."

Song Yanfan couldn't help laughing.

The two sisters happily went to Qingguo Lane.

The horse-drawn carriage with a red wheel and canopy stopped in front of the Chuihua Gate. There was already a woman waiting with a small oil truck.

The two sisters were served by their wives respectively, got off the carriage, got on the small oil truck, and went to Mrs. Song's yard.

Today I invited Gu Chenzhi and Mrs. Song’s natal nephew, and we divided the table into two.

The second uncle and several cousins ​​held a table outside the courtyard, and Mrs. Song held another table in the boat hall of her yard.

Rarely lively.

At this moment, the banquet has not yet begun, and Mrs. Song's yard is crowded with people. Gu Chenzhi, Brother Xuan, the second wife's three nephews, and several cousins ​​from the Song family are all talking in front of Mrs. Song.

Hu Jie and the other girls hid in the Nuan Pavilion.

Gu Jinzhi came in to say hello first, and then went to Nuange.

Because she was new here, everyone's eyes fell on her.

Gu Jinzhi also took a quick look around the room: there were three men in fine clothes, they were unfamiliar faces, they should be the nephews of his second aunt's mother's family.

Mrs. Song asked a few questions as usual, and then sent Song Yanfan to take her to sit in the Nuan Pavilion first.

Brother Xuan was bored, and his father and his second uncle were outside in the courtyard. He was unfamiliar with these brothers in the room, so he sat aside cautiously.

Seeing Gu Jinzhi coming, he seemed to have seen his savior. He jumped up and pulled Gu Jinzhi's sleeves, shouting in a low voice: "Seventh Sister..."

He motioned to Gu Jinzhi to take him away.

With this, everyone's attention was focused on Gu Jinzhi again.

"Brother Xuan, the eldest brother is still here. Brother Xuan is accompanying the eldest brother, okay?" Gu Jinzhi smiled and said to him softly.

It is not good for a boy to always be so timid and fearful. When someone takes him with him, he should be allowed to adapt to the unfamiliar environment.

Brother Xuan looked at Gu Jinzhi with a pleading expression, his eyes aggrieved and pitiful, but he refused to let go.

Everyone was amused by his naivety and laughed.

With such a smile, Brother Xuan shrank back from Gu Jin for some unknown reason.

Seeing that he was really scared, Gu Jinzhi smiled and asked Mrs. Song: "Auntie, can I take Brother Xuan with me?"

Mrs. Song naturally said yes.

Gu Jinzhi and Song Yanfan took Brother Xuan out together.

Second cousin Song Yanzhao stood up immediately: "I'll go too!"

Mrs. Song's face darkened and she wanted to call him back, but he had already run away.

She had no choice but to explain to everyone in embarrassment: "I'm so naughty that I can't sit still!"

Among the relatives in this room, the youngest one is seventeen years old. Song Yanzhao is much younger than them, and he doesn't have the time to talk to him. It's a bit rude for him to leave, but it's not a big mistake.

Everyone said it was okay and the topic was moved away.

Qin Zhi, who was sitting in the middle, glanced in the direction of the door.

He is the fourth nephew of Mrs. Song's second wife and the only legitimate son of the Qin family.

He and his two brothers came to Yanling Mansion to give gifts, and they also brought two mothers in charge. He overheard his mother telling the two mothers to ask his aunt how things were going with the Gu family?

If it can be done, my mother would like to change the Geng tie year ago and make a small decision.

Are you talking about that girl just now?

"...It's still a child. It's too ridiculous!" Qin Zhi had cold sweat on his forehead and thought to himself, he wouldn't be allowed to marry such a child, would he?

Mother said Miss Gu was twelve years old, but Qin Zhi looked at her and she only looked 18 years old...

On the contrary, Song Yanfan, the third young lady of the Song family, was tall and fair, with a delicate and pleasant appearance. Her brows were honest and kind, like a good wife and mother.

Qin Zhi prefers people like Song Yanfan.

Gu Jinzhi and others entered the Nuan Pavilion, and Song Yanzhao came behind.

"Second brother, why aren't you waiting inside?" Song Yanfan asked, "Come to our place again! Mother knows better than to scold you!"

"A bunch of men talking about knowledge and economics are so annoying!" Song Yanzhao smiled and sat down on the Grand Master's chair next to Song Yanfan.

Several girls in the room were either his biological sisters, cousins, or clan sisters. Except for Hu Jie, they were all members of his own family. Song Yanzhao was more casual.

"You are also about to take the exam, are you still afraid of that?" Hu Jie said with a frown. She didn't like boys who didn't seek to improve but only mingled with girls.

"It has nothing to do with you!" Song Yanzhao was angry.

Song Yanzhao disliked Hu Jie ever since he found out about the feud between Hu Jie and Gu Jinzhi. Hu Jie often treated herself as an adult and often came to his house to play. She would antagonize him every time, and he was rude to him.

Hu Jie's face turned slightly dark and she was about to get angry.

"Let's talk properly, but you insist on making trouble!" Song Yanfan was embarrassed and scolded Song Yanzhao for Hu Jie. She just didn't understand why Hu Jie and Song Yanzhao didn't deal with it every time they met.

Hu Jie loved to find fault with Song Yanzhao, and Song Yanzhao was always gentle to girls, but he would not let Hu Jie say a word, so the two of them developed a grudge.

"I don't want to be naughty with you!" Song Yanzhao said, then waved to Brother Xuan, "Let's go find something delicious!"

Brother Xuan liked Song Yanzhao very much, but looking at his sister's face, he was a little hesitant. He wanted to follow Song Yanzhao, but he was reluctant to leave his sister.

"Cousin, you come too!" Song Yanzhao said again, "I have something good to show you."

When Brother Xuan heard this, he nodded his head and tried his best to pull Gu Jinzhi: "Seventh sister, let's look for something delicious." He was afraid that Gu Jinzhi would refuse.

"I'll go too!" Hu Jie said immediately when she heard Song Yanzhao invited Gu Jinzhi. Then, she felt that everyone was looking at her a little strangely, so she smiled and pulled the two girls around her and Song Yanfan, "Let's go too, by the way.

Why are you making delicious food behind our backs?"

Brother Xuan wants to go, but also wants to drag Gu Jinzhi to go; Hu Jie also wants to go...

Song Yanfan had no choice but to agree: "Second brother, where are you taking us?"

Song Yanzhao showed an angry look and glared at Hu Jie.

Hu Jie raised her eyebrows and smiled, feeling proud and a little angry.

Song Yanfan simply didn't think much about it.

The two girls from the Song family both pursed their lips and smiled quietly.

Gu Jinzhi looked at Hu Jie and then at Song Yanzhao, also smiling.

My heart suddenly seems to have returned to the time when I was a child studying. The ignorant and green emotions allow people to see the purest beauty in the world.

She smiled and said, "Okay."
