Spring Girl's Notes

Si Jian drove the carriage and left the city soon.

Gu Jinzhi raised the curtains of the car and looked out. There were green hills and decaying grass everywhere.In the late autumn, all the prosperity is gone, and the eyes are full of desolation and desolation.

As soon as she loosened her hand, the curtain fell, covering Can Qiu from her sight.

The carriage was fast and a little bumpy.

Gu Jinzhi felt very uncomfortable in his stomach.

Fortunately, it didn't take long, and we arrived at our destination soon.

Liujiazhuang is a small village, where ordinary people live, hardworking, simple and kind people.

The gorgeous carriage entered the village, which attracted the attention of the farmers, but no one thought much about it.

"Did you come to Zhen's house?" Someone muttered in a low voice and continued to work.

The fields in Liujiazhuang are not fertile land, and the harvest is not satisfactory.

If there is a famine year, there will be no crops, but heavy land taxes will be paid.

The land tax is too heavy, even if it is exempted every few years, the people in Liujiazhuang cannot afford it.They all sold the land to a master surnamed Zhen, and then leased the land of Master Zhen's family.

The rent of Mr. Zhen's family is lighter than the land tax.

Everyone doesn't know the background of that Master Zhen, they only know that he is young, has one wife and three concubines, and a kind old father.

Mr. Zhen didn't come to Zhuangzi very often, his wife and concubine stayed to serve the old father. The family was very kind and never bullied others.

Everyone in Liujiazhuang respects the Zhen family.

A few years ago, a nobleman in the city often came to visit Mr. Zhen at Zhen's house.Over the past few years, there have been fewer and fewer people coming, but there are still people coming during the holidays.

So, behold the gorgeous carriage.All the peasants knew that they were going to Zhen's house.

Sure enough, the carriage stopped at the gate of Zhen's compound.

The Zhen family compound doesn't look imposing from the outside.

In an ordinary courtyard, there is a tall sycamore tree at the door, with golden fallen leaves all over the place, and solitary twigs bathed in the thin sunlight of late autumn.The gray courtyard wall with polished bricks is not high, but the vermilion gate looks heavy, and a pair of brass door cymbals are quietly buckled upside down.

Si Jian stopped the carriage, jumped down and knocked on the door.

A servant came to open the door and asked suspiciously, "Who are you looking for?"

"Is your master here?" Si Jian asked with a smile. "We came from the city to visit your master, and greet your grandma and father along the way."

"Master didn't come back." The servant said, "You can come back another day."

Although his tone was polite, there was no doubt about it, and he wanted to close the door again.

Si Jian hurriedly pushed against the door.With a smiley face.

Gu Jinzhi had already got off the carriage.

She took a step forward and said to the servant: "Go in and tell me, let your grandma come out to see me."

Gu Jinzhi was going to visit the eldest princess today, so she was dressed gorgeously: brocade haze red jacquard trousers, water shadow red densely woven gold thread acacia flower dress, and a silver red silk cloak outside.It is gorgeous and eye-catching; it is combed in a high bun, and there are two red gold ruby ​​butterfly flower hairpins on the left and right.Facing the sun, the brilliance is bright.

With such a dress, she is not a female family member of an ordinary family, and she said that she asked grandma to come out to meet her, her tone was so natural, and the servants guessed that she must be a nobleman in the city.

In the past, noble people often came to the city.This servant has never seen it, but he has heard of it.

He hesitated.He closed the door again and turned around.

The "grandma" that the servants called was Zhen Mo's wife Ou Shi.

The guard at the gate told the maid on the second gate about the nobleman coming outside, and asked her to go in and report.

When Ou Shi heard the news, he couldn't help wondering: Who is it from the Tan family?

Ever since the Zhen family's aunt, Zhen Zhen, passed away, every year only the fourth grandma of the Tan family took sister Yu to live in Zhuangzi for half a day to visit the old man.The guard at the gate has only been here for two years, and he has never seen Aunt Zhen, but he has also met Sister Yu.If it was Sister Yu who came, wouldn't she come to ask for instructions?

Who else is there?

The Zhen family has lived here for almost ten years.

In the early years, Zhen Zhen was favored by the Tan family, and someone from Tan You's wife's natal family once came to provoke him.

Ou Shi couldn't help being irritable, did he come looking for trouble again?

Although he didn't like it, he didn't dare to neglect it.

Ou Shi got up, took the maid and mother-in-law, and went to the gate.

The first time he saw the person at the gate, Ou Shi's feet went limp and he almost fell.

Fortunately, it was a bright day and under the eyes of everyone. If it was night, Ou Shi would have been scared to death: My sister-in-law, who had been dead for several years, why did she suddenly come back?

A woman also saw Zhen Zhen and exclaimed.

Ou Shi himself clutched his chest tightly.

Seeing this situation, the others were stunned, and the guard at the door stepped aside.

Gu Jinzhi walked in, smiled and blessed Ou Shi, and said, "Grandma Zhen..."

Ou Shi subconsciously took a step back.

Under such a bright sun, Ou Shi felt a chill down her back, and a biting chill poured in from the top of her head, and she shivered.

The feeling of bumping into ghosts during the day is too uncomfortable.

Ou Shi has always been timid.

Si Jian followed behind Gu Jin, and the two guards stood on the left and right.

Seeing Ou Shi lost his composure, Gu Jinzhi stood still and did not move forward.

After a while, Ou Shi came back to his senses, his voice trembling: "...Who is it? My eyesight is clumsy, I don't know noble people."

Gu Jinzhi smiled and said, "Talk inside."

Ou Shi recovered from the shock and fear, and his mind became clearer, and he thought of something that her husband mentioned in his usual words.

Trembling, she invited Gu Jinzhi to the main courtyard.

When she arrived at her own courtyard, her out-of-body soul finally laid down on her body, and hurriedly bowed to Gu Jinzhi: "Wongfu, my concubine."

Ou Shi heard Zhen Mo say once or twice that the Seventh Miss of the Gu family looks like Zhen Zhen, and the uncle of the Tan family is very obsessed with her, a little fascinated.

Not long ago, the big wedding between Miss Gu Jiaqi and King Luyang was known all over the capital, so Ou Shi naturally heard about it.

Gu Jinzhi smiled and helped Ou Shi.

Ou Shi took advantage of the situation and got up.

The maid served tea.

Ou Shi sat down under Gu Jinzhi.She couldn't help but take another look at Gu Jin, this time looking at his profile.

From the side, it doesn't look like that.Zhen Zhen's face is very soft, and her side face is also very soft; while Princess Luyang's side face has deep lines and clear outline.

It's not like that.

Ou Shi sat beside him.While secretly winking at a woman at the door.

The old woman turned around quietly and went out.

"...The concubine is here today, what are your orders?" Ou Shi took a sip of tea, put the cup down, and asked Gu Jinzhi.

"Master Zhen is not at home?" Gu Jinzhi asked back.

Ou Shi laughed and said, "Wouldn't it be frustrating for the princess to call him an adult? What kind of adult is he? He just follows Mr. Tan and runs errands. No matter how old he is, he is just a boy. Besides, he is not at home often, two or three months. Come back and stay for a day or two."

"Master Tan thinks highly of him and relies on him in everything." Gu Jinzhi followed Ou Shi's words. "You don't have to be humble for him."

Her tone was very familiar, as if Zhen Mo was her brother.

The more Ou Shi listened, the more startled he became.

Her complexion, which had finally eased, turned slightly purple again.

Gu Jinzhi saw that she was really too timid, so he said directly: "I had something to discuss with Mr. Zhen. Since he is not at home, I will greet the old man. It is time to leave."

The old man didn't know that there was a woman like Zhen Zhen in the world.

Didn't Gu Jinzhi want to scare him to death when he suddenly went to visit him?

The elderly are not afraid.

"How dare you work for the concubine to pay his respects to the old man?" Ou Shi smiled reluctantly, "You are so honorable, but my old man is just an old blacksmith. It is your kindness to honor you like this. I can't bear it."

"Lord Zhen is kind to me." Gu Jinzhi said, "He saved my life. Grandma refuses to let me go. Is it because I came to visit abruptly? If so, I will feel uneasy."

Ou Shi hurriedly said: "The princess misunderstood, the concubine did not stop..."

Seeing that Gu Jinzhi's face was slightly restrained, Ou Shi didn't dare to say any more.

She got up and took Gu Jinzhi to Mrs. Zhen's yard.

Mrs. Zhen lived in a small courtyard to the west of the outer courtyard.The independent door is not only connected to the mansion, but also leads to the farmland behind.

Two jujube trees were planted in the old man's small yard.There is also a chicken coop in the corner.

The hen just laid an egg and clucked.The little maid in coarse clothes touched the eggs.When I got up, I saw Grandma Zhen bringing someone in, and hurriedly saluted Grandma Zhen.

This is a very ordinary small farmyard, completely different from the Zhen family mansion.

"Where's the old man?" Ou Shi asked the little girl.

"Take a rest in the room." The little girl said.

"See if the old man is awake. If he is awake, it means that a distinguished guest has arrived." Ou Shi said.

The little girl said yes.

Ou Shi himself led Gu Jinzhi to the main hall of the courtyard and sat down.

After a cup of tea, an old but smiling voice came from outside the door: "Which distinguished guest is here?"

He is just his own family.

Afterwards, Gu Jinzhi saw an old man in green cloth walking in.

The Zhen family is very rich now, but Mrs. Zhen's clothes are only neat and tidy.The Gebu clothes are very clean and ironed, and the servants at home are better dressed than him.

Gu Jinzhi was a little surprised.

She stood up.

When the old man saw her, his complexion changed drastically, and he froze at the door, not knowing how to move his feet for a long while, his eyes fixed on her...

Looking at it, my eyes are wet.

Zhen Mo didn't need to be on duty today, Tan You was fine, he went back to his residence early.

He has a house in the city, two courtyards, several servants and maids, no concubines to accompany him, very spacious.

His wife, concubine and children all stayed in the countryside to take care of his old father.

On weekdays, when he was free, Zhen Mo practiced riding and shooting to pass the time.

The boys set up archery targets in the yard, and Zhen Mo also changed into a comfortable outfit, ready to practice archery, when someone hurried in.

"Master, there are people from the country." The boy hurriedly said.

The bow in Zhen Mo's hand was fully drawn. Hearing this, his heart tightened. He couldn't help but wonder if something happened to his father. When he loosened the strength in his hand, the arrow shot out obliquely.

"Please come in quickly." Zhen Mo said.

The boy from the country followed in.

He knelt down and kowtowed to Zhen Mo, and then said: "Grandma said, if the master is fine, you should go back quickly. There is a distinguished guest at home, and grandma is afraid that the reception will not be good, so please go back and be with me."

Zhen Mo was slightly surprised, and asked, "What distinguished guest?"

He doesn't interact with anyone on weekdays, except for Tan You, Zhen Mo doesn't recognize anyone.

Everyone knows that Zhen Mo doesn't like people to disturb the cleanliness of his family.

"Grandma said, the master will understand when he goes back to see that it is a female guest. She is going to pay his respects to the old man." The boy said.

Zhen Mo suddenly thought of Gu Jinzhi.

He was horrified.

"Let's go." Zhen Mo didn't change his clothes, turned around and walked quickly to the stable, untied a horse and galloped away.

Those who followed him could not catch up.

After half an hour's journey, Zhen Mo arrived home in a quarter of an hour.

He made his way to his father's yard.

Father and Gu Jinzhi sat side by side, tears streaming down their faces.

"Father." Zhen Mo's brow was sweating, and he knelt down to salute his father.

Old Master Zhen wiped the moisture from the corners of his eyes, and said, "You're back? Quick, look who this is?"

He pointed at Gu Jinzhi.

Zhen Mo saluted Gu Jinzhi again: "Princess!"

"Get up." Gu Jinzhi smiled.

Zhen Mo was suspicious and stood up.

The old lady Zhen told Zhen Mo to sit down and asked him: "Look, do you look like your sister? There are people in this world who look like this. When the girl came, I was shocked. You saved her. Fate, why didn't you tell me?"

Zhen Mo was anxious.

He didn't know what Gu Jinzhi said to his father.

He could only force a smile, and said, "Father, it's been a long time ago. Do you think it's like it? I don't think it's the same..."

"What's different, it's exactly the same." Mrs. Zhen said.Then thinking of Zhen Zhen who passed away, my heart felt sour and my eyes became wet again.

Zhen Mo hurriedly said: "Father, take a rest, it's getting late, I should send the princess back to the city, otherwise we can't bear the curfew in the city."

Old Mrs. Zhen had deep reluctance in his eyes, and said: "Oh, the girl is really a princess? I thought you were fooling the little old man..."

"How can I fool you?" Gu Jinzhi smiled, "It's really fate. You think I'm like your daughter, so just treat me as your daughter from now on."

Old Mrs. Zhen couldn't get what she wanted, and hurriedly said: "How dare you do this? I can't afford it, I can't afford it."

There is a longing in the eyes.

He was not confused at all, he knew that his daughter had passed away, and the person in front of him was just similar, not real.

"You deserve it." Gu Jinzhi said, "I'll come to see you sometime when I'm free."

Mrs. Zhen quickly agreed.

He sent Gu Jinzhi to the gate of the courtyard, and repeatedly told her: "Come back another day."

He had never seen high-ranking officials in his life, even when his daughter was in power, he was just a blacksmith, so he had no respect for the princess, and only regarded Gu Jinzhi as a kind girl.
