Spring Girl's Notes

The Tan family's birthday banquet was full of guests.

The huge flower hall next to the main hall of the inner courtyard was already full of people.

The wife who was in charge came out to greet her, and the eldest lady stood in front of her to say hello, while Gu Jinzhi just followed behind her mother and remained silent.

After entering the flower hall, six or seven wives and grandmothers of the Tan family came to say hello.

It can be seen that the Tan family has a large population.

Gu Jinzhi thought of the Zhu family in his previous life.

The Zhu family is also thriving.

Gu Jinzhi followed his mother and aunt to salute Mrs. Tan's family.

The old lady of the Tan family is a bit fat, with a round face and eyes that can be narrowed into slits when she smiles, she looks very amiable.

She doesn't look shrewd and capable, but a very cheerful and optimistic old lady.A smile hangs on the face, which is natural and kind, and it is easy to make people feel good.

When Gu Jinzhi and his mother went to salute, Mrs. Tan's eyes turned on Gu Jinzhi's face, with deep meaning.The strange color flashed by, and he asked her with a smile: "Is this Miss Gu Qi?"

She didn't mention Gu Jinzhi's miracle doctor.

In the eyes of famous families, doctors are a bit humble after all.

"Yes, the old ancestor lived longer than Nanshan." Gu Jin said.

Old Madam Tan chuckled, beckoned Gu Jinzhi to sit beside her, looked at her carefully, praised Gu Jinzhi for her beauty.

There were so many visitors today, Mrs. Tan didn't want to favor one over the other, praised Gu Jinzhi a few words, didn't say anything more, let the eldest lady of the Tan family accompany them, and went out to sit and listen to the play.

"It's really strange just now..." After sitting down, the eldest lady whispered to Song Pan'er. "The wives and grandmas of the Tan family met Sister Jin at the door of Chuihua, and they looked strange and couldn't explain clearly. Even the old lady just blinked her eyes, as if she was quite surprised."

Song Pan'er also noticed.

She thought it was her own heart.

Hearing what Da Furen said, she couldn't help feeling suspicious.

"Yes." Song Pan'er said, "I saw it too, especially their second grandma. It was like seeing a ghost. If the third grandma didn't pinch her nearby, she might lose her composure... What's going on? Sister Jin has nothing to do with their family..."

With that said, the eyes of the sister-in-law and sister-in-law fell on Gu Jinzhi.

A song of joys and sorrows was being sung on the stage, but Gu Jinzhi couldn't understand it, so he concentrated on it.I want to hear what words are sung.

She didn't notice the eyes of Song Pan'er and the eldest lady.

When entering the door, Gu Jinzhi also saw the strange looks of the wives and grandmothers of the Tan family, as well as the old lady of the Tan family.

However, she never liked to think too much, so she thought about it for a while.Because they didn't know much about the Tan family, they had strange eyes.Gu Jin couldn't guess for a while.

She didn't take it to heart.

Song Pan'er and the eldest lady sized her up several times, but she didn't respond.A simple and pure-hearted girl who only knows how to listen to the show, so she turns her eyes away.

"Don't let us be overthinking, right?" Da Furen said to Song Pan'er with a smile.

She was comforting Song Pan'er.

There is indeed something strange about the Tan family, that's for sure.But the eldest lady has no contact with the Tan family, she doesn't know the inside story, and she doesn't know where to find out.She had doubts in her heart, and it was hard to mention them all the time.Sweeping away Song Pan'er's interest in watching the theater, she could only secretly keep an eye out.

The eldest lady is not familiar with the Tan family.It was Song Pan'er's first visit to the house, and she was even more confused than the eldest lady.

Hearing what Da Furen said, Song Pan'er also hesitated and said: "Maybe..." But she was not at ease.

Afterwards, the third wife, fourth wife, fourth grandmother, and Miss Eleven of the Tan family all came over to say hello. Their expressions were peaceful and nothing unusual.

Song Pan'er and the eldest lady exchanged a look.

Before the end of the song on stage, the banquet has already been set.

Song Pan'er and the eldest lady got up along with the crowd, and went to the front seat in the flower hall, Gu Jinzhi followed beside them.

The wives who were at the same table with Song Pan'er had some contacts in private, and talked to each other happily, and the doubts in Song Pan'er's mind dissipated a little.

Gu Jinzhi also moved to the girls' table.

The banquet took about an hour.

After eating, everyone did not say goodbye.

Some people still go to the opera; some follow the wives and grandmas of the Tan family to stroll in the back garden of the Tan family. They heard that the chrysanthemums and sweet-scented osmanthus are in full bloom in the back garden of the Tan family.

In the southwest corner of Tan's house, there is also a huge lotus pond.

At this time, the lotus pods have already matured, and the lotus leaves have not yet withered, which is the time for fun.

The second wife of the Tan family has already arranged a cruise ship to go to the lake to pick lotus.

The guests in the hall were immediately divided into three groups.

Gu Jinzhi is not interested in visiting the garden, while Song Pan'er and the eldest lady have their own ideas, and they don't want to go around, they just want to leave when the time comes.

They went to the theater again.

In fact, the audience is the most.

There are also many young girls who accompany their elders to listen to the opera.

Song Pan'er remembered what her sister-in-law said to her in the car, and couldn't help pursing her lips and smiling.

She and the eldest lady kept whispering, and the two pointed to the rest of the guests who didn't go shopping.

Following the eyes of the two of them, Gu Jinzhi saw many wives with young girls, and Hu Jie was one of them.

Gu Jinzhi vaguely understood something.

I remember that my mother went to ask my aunt about the Tan family a few days ago, and heard that the eighth young master of the Tan family had returned from the northwest camp and had already found a job in the fifth army camp.

That Eighth Young Master is the younger brother of Concubine Tan Guifei in the palace.He is 20 years old this year, exactly the age to talk about kissing.

That's probably what my aunt meant when she said that someone is singing an opera today.

Being able to get married with the Tan family, it must be a squeeze, right?

This really has nothing to do with the Gu family.The girls of the Gu family's age are all engaged.

Gu Jinzhi sat quietly, and the maids brought tea. While she was drinking tea, she casually glanced at Hu Jie who was not far away.

If it is as Gu Jinzhi guessed, why is Hu Jie here today?

Hu Jie was not from the Hou family, her father was only a fifth-rank doctor in the Ministry of Punishment, and her family and Yongxi Hou Hu's family had already graduated from the third service.

In this competition, Hu Jie has no hope, right?

She is good looking.But with such a family as the Tan family, how can they put their appearance first in choosing a daughter-in-law?Besides, there are many young ladies who are as beautiful as her and come from noble families...

Gu Jinzhi suddenly didn't quite understand the purpose of Yongxi Houtai and his wife bringing Hu Jie here.

She turned around in her mind, and the thought couldn't go away.

"Mother, look at Hu Jie." Gu Jinzhi thought for a while, but decided to confirm it to his mother, "Does the wife of the Yongxi Hou Mansion love her very much?"

Song Pan'er followed Gu Jinzhi's fingers and looked over.

Hu Jie was beside Mrs. Hu, and Mrs. Hu was talking to her in a low voice.

Song Pan'er chuckled lowly.

She shook her head, patted Gu Jinzhi's hand lightly, and said, "It has nothing to do with us. Let's listen to your show..."

But that low laugh confirmed it.

Gu Jinzhi and Hu Jie didn't have any friendship at first, so this matter has nothing to do with her.

As expected, she listened to the play again and didn't say any more.

After a song was sung, there was a lively fight scene behind it.

Many wives and ladies don't like to watch this kind of lively drama.The wives of the Tan family came to invite them to walk in the garden, and some people left.

The ones who never leave the table are those with young girls by their side.

They seem to be waiting for something.

Without knowing it, Song Pan'er and the eldest lady watched the crowd gradually disperse, and stayed to watch the play.Obviously, he knew it in his heart and had his own plan.

So the eldest lady is not going to make fun of it in a foolish way.He said to Song Pan'er, "I heard that there is a lotus pond. Let's go by boat too..."

Gu Jinzhi's body was menstruating again, she didn't want to move.

"Mother, go with your auntie, I like to listen to this, and I'll leave after listening..." Gu Jinzhi said.

Song Pan'er smiled and pulled her: "You're being lazy! Do you want me to serve your aunt? Now you are the only daughter available..."

Gu Jinzhi couldn't bear it, so he had to leave the banquet with his mother and aunt.

Seeing that Gu Jinzhi had also left, Hu Jie who was not far away couldn't sit still.

She also felt itchy.I really want to go boating in the lotus pond at the back.

She is not interested in these operas, nor can she understand them.So boring.

She whispered to Madam Yongxi Hou: "Old Ancestor, everyone is leaving, let's..."

Before she finished speaking, Mrs. Hu gave her a cold look.

Hu Jie was very afraid of this madam, her heart twitched and she dared not make a sound.

"Aren't all the seats full of people?" Mrs. Hu said coldly, "Where did the 'everyone go' come from?"

Hu Jie's face felt hot.

——*——*——

Seeing Song Pan'er, the eldest lady, and Gu Jinzhi getting up, it happened that the sixth grandma of the Tan family came back from seeing off the guests, so she hurriedly greeted them and led them to the pond.

Along the way, she looked at Gu Jinzhi carefully again.

Song Pan'er coughed lightly.

Grandma Tan Liu knew that he was paying attention, so she didn't dare to watch it anymore.

Gu Jinzhi's eyes flashed a little puzzled.

After bypassing several corridors, we arrived at the gate of the garden.

Laughter can be heard in the distance.

A little girl wearing pink butterfly and flower gown ran out from inside and bumped into Gu Jinzhi's arms.

This little girl is about five or six years old, carved in powder and jade, very cute.

Gu Jinzhi was staggered by her bump.

Song Pan'er quickly supported her daughter.

The sixth grandmother of the Tan family also hurriedly supported the little girl, and said in a low voice: "Sister Yu, what are you doing in such a hurry?" Then she hugged the little girl and apologized to Song Pan'er and Gu Jinzhi, "This It's the fourth lady of the uncle's family, I'm really sorry, I bumped into the seventh lady..."

Here comes the great-grandchildren of the Tan family.

Gu Jinzhi stood firm and said that it was all right.

Song Pan'er also smiled and said, "It's all right, kids are naughty..."

The little girl was hugged by Grandma Six, she didn't dare to look at anyone, she called Aunt Six in a low voice: "Uncle Eight is at the door, I'm going to find Uncle Eight."

"Let's say I'm sorry to Aunt Gu's first..." Sixth Grandma coaxed her, "Sister Yu, be good..."

Only then did the little girl raise her eyes, looked at Gu Jinzhi timidly, and said sorry.

As soon as a word was uttered, the little girl finally saw Gu Jinzhi's face clearly.

She suddenly struggled and rushed towards Gu Jinzhi, crying loudly, "Auntie, Auntie!"

Grandma Six was not on guard, so she struggled to get off the ground.

The little girl threw her head on Gu Jinzhi's body, hugged her waist tightly, buried her head in her waist, and cried loudly: "Aunt, sister Yu, be good, Aunt, don't go!"

In an instant, everyone including Gu Jinzhi changed their expressions.
