The Legitimate Miss Returns With Honor

Seeing how worried her mother was, she couldn't help but laugh, "Mom, don't worry. That Sharp King doesn't often stay in the capital, and he never attends banquets held by aristocratic families. Otherwise, after so many years, our daughter hasn't met him."

Lady Yao recalled that what her daughter said was right. That Sharp King had always been alone. He was rarely seen, so how could he interact with these girls? She could only sigh in relief.

She then thought of something and said to her, "Oh right, your Third Uncle and King Ruo are very close. In the future, you should also avoid coming to the Spring Pavilion. That scourge, sooner or later, will implicate our entire family to death."

She gnashed her teeth and cursed for a while, but she didn't notice that when her daughter heard the two words "Third Uncle", her eyes flashed.

As the mother and daughter of Golden Parasol Courtyard's Yao Family spoke, the Jade Bamboo Courtyard was quiet.

It was a scorching summer day and the temperature was so hot that people almost couldn't breathe. The wutong tree outside the courtyard was making noise non-stop. The willow tree brought a little girl with it and was holding a long stick to stick the cicada.

Gu Jinzhu was napping. She was already wearing the thinnest dress, but she was still sweating profusely.

Yunxiang lightly fanned her. Gu Jinzhu turned over and said, "You should go rest for a while as well. I've taken a fancy to the warm air."

Yun Xiang laughed, "Your servant is fine." She used a handkerchief to wipe away Gu Jinzhu's sweat, and when she saw that her hair was so hot that it was wet with sweat and stuck to her neck, her fair cheeks were flushed red, she could not help but feel her heart ache, "My lady isn't distributing any ice at all. How can one live on such a hot day?"

Every courtyard in the Gu Estate had a fixed ice basin for daily use during the summer months, but Lady Yao pretended to have forgotten about it and didn't ask anyone to send it to the Jade Bamboo Garden.

Gu Jinzhu smiled faintly and said, "Bear with it. Fortunately, this house is near the lake, so it's cooler at night."

"But there are also more mosquitoes. The incense is almost used up as well. If we don't send any more silver, I don't know what to do next month," Yun Xiang whispered.

Gu Jinzhu thought for a moment, then ordered her to bring up the small wooden case with the lock on it.

The black carved flower was about a foot long, and contained all of her belongings. It was divided into three layers, the top layer being a few pieces of scattered silver. She counted them, and it was only about 20 taels.

The second level was given to her by her grandmother when she was still alive. If it was converted into silver taels, it would probably be no more than a hundred taels.

When the third level was opened, even the man couldn't help but take in a light breath.

"These are all jewelry, all of them extremely exquisite. Bright phoenix head gold hairpin, jade bracelets, white round pearl thumb size East Pearl."

Gu Jinzhu casually picked up a pair of small golden bracelets, which were obviously worn by girls. They were exquisite in style, with the words' Amity 'carved on the surface of the bracelets.

Her eyes were filled with reluctance. This was jewelry that her grandmother had bought for her since she was young. Every single one of them was worth a lot of money. If she went out to buy them, it would be worth quite a bit of money.

However, every piece of jewelry here was carefully chosen by her grandmother. Although some of them were already worn out, she definitely wouldn't be willing to take them out. Every piece of jewelry was just a thought.

She would not touch what her grandmother had left for her unless she had to.

She thought for a moment, then took out a few taels of silver, closed the box, and said to Yun Xiang, "Take this with you to buy some incense and some ointment for burning wounds caused by you and Su Ju. We'll talk about the rest."

Yun Xiang waved her hand. "This servant's wounds are fine for a long time now. I still have some of the medicine left over, so I'll go buy some incense first. Otherwise, the mosquito-infesting young miss won't be able to sleep well at night."

She put away the silver and the two of them were just talking when the curtain was lifted and a white porcelain bowl was brought in.

"Miss, I made some green bean soup in the kitchen and added some sugar. You can't get out of the heat if you drink more." Su Ju brought the bowl over.

Gu Jinzhu frowned at her, "Didn't I tell you to lie down? Is the wound still painful? Why did it start moving again? "

"As long as I'm careful not to dilly-dally, it won't hurt at all." Although she had just changed her name, she was not the least bit unhappy. She still had a lively and playful look on her face.

Gu Jinzhu finished drinking the green bean soup. Since it was too hot to sleep, she decided to just sit up and practice her calligraphy under the window.

After writing a few sentences, he heard Magpie announce that the Second Miss had arrived.

Gu Jinzhu was startled, but before she could get up, Gu Bi Tong had already lifted the curtain and entered. She smiled as she said, "Big sister, you didn't disturb your afternoon nap right?"

She was wearing a light red dress and had a curvy figure. The hairpin on her head was dazzling, making her face look extremely gorgeous.

Gu Jinzhu stood up and smiled, "Of course. I'm so happy that I didn't have the time."

Gu Beitang walked in and looked around, surprise flashing across her eyes.

Hadn't my mother arranged the simplest house for her? However, the one she saw, although it wasn't as luxurious or luxurious as her Fragrance Pavilion, the items on display were all exquisite and elegant, causing the room to look elegant and grand.

When he saw the clothes that Gu Jinzhu was wearing, his gaze flickered.

As Gu Jinzhu had just gotten up from her afternoon nap, she didn't put on any makeup. Her long hair, which was like black clouds, naturally flowed behind her head as she used a string to tie her hair loosely.

She was wearing only a moon-white blouse and a pair of cherry pink silk pants. Her sleeves were slightly rolled up, revealing her soft white skin.

Even though she couldn't use her makeup, Gu Jinzhu's clear and beautiful eyes, white and delicate skin, and delicate to the point that not a single pore could be seen.

A trace of jealousy flashed through Gu Bi Tong's eyes. No wonder her father valued her so much. Just based on her appearance alone, she was indeed eye-catching.

"Sister, I came here to apologize to you for this morning's incident, but it's just a name, I didn't care about it. Grandmother said that it was a taboo, so she let CaiYi come over to say it."

Gu Jinzhu smiled faintly and said, "It's alright. It was because I didn't know my sister's name that I made the little girl offend the taboo. Little sister, don't be too fussy about it."

"How could that be?"

"This is some rouge and cosmetic powder bestowed by Imperial Concubine Su. It's made in the palace and is much better than the ones made outside. I can't use it all by myself, so I brought it over to give it to big sister as an apology."

Gu Jinzhu glanced at it and sure enough, it was many exquisite little boxes. She hurriedly refused, "The items that Imperial Concubine Fu bestowed are incomparably precious, so little sister should keep them for her own use. I rarely use these, so I don't have the use for them either."

Before she could finish, Gu Bi Tong pouted coquettishly, "Big sister, are you saying that you had an affair with me? You haven't come back in all these years, and I've missed you so much. Look at this, it's fresh rose juice made from rice milk. It's the softest and most harmless to the skin, so it's good to smell it, and it's good to taste it as well. "
