Gu Jiu changed into a plain dress, and led the maids out of Pu Xian Yuan.
She stood at the gate of the courtyard, glanced around casually, and saw a well-dressed guard walking into the meditation courtyard on the right.
Qingmei said: "Girl, the courtyard next door seems to be inhabited."
Gu Jiu nodded.
Xiaocui hesitated for a moment, then said: "When the maidservant came back, she passed the courtyard next door. It looks quite big inside. It seems that she has lived there for a few days."
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "I think it's the same as us. I came to Tianmen Temple to burn incense and pray for blessings. Don't worry about it."
"yes."
Gu Jiu led the maid into the Juboyuan on the left.
Gu Ting was exchanging moves with the guards.
Seeing Gu Jiu, he hurriedly stopped, "My sister is here. My sister is hungry, the vegetarian food has just been delivered, let's eat together."
Seeing that Gu Ting was covered in stinky sweat, Gu Jiu hurriedly said, "Brother, I'd better go wash it first, and wash off the stinky sweat all over."
Gu Ting chuckled, "Sister is right, I'm going to wash up now."
Gu Jiu looked around the courtyard.
Juboyuan is about the same size as Puxianyuan, but it has two more wing rooms than Puxianyuan, just for the guards to rest.
Gu Ting washed up very quickly, and he finished washing in a while, and even changed his clothes.
The two brothers and sisters are sitting in the main room, enjoying vegetarian food.
The vegetarian restaurant in Tianmen Temple really deserves its reputation. Gu Jiu ate thoroughly.
Stomach was full, Gu Jiu could not help hiccupping, and laughed embarrassedly.
Gu Ting laughed loudly, "I didn't expect my sister to have such a side. You can't see it in the mansion."
Gu Jiu took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the corners of his mouth, "It's been a long time since I ate so heartily. If I didn't pay attention, I ate too much. Is brother full?"
Gu Ting nodded, "I'm full. My stomach is a little bloated. I'm going to do some activities. My sister can do whatever she wants."
Gu Jiu looked at the sky outside, it was still bright.
The summer days are long, and the sun hasn't set yet.
She said to Gu Ting: "I went to the back mountain for a stroll, and I heard that there is an orchard there."
"It's getting dark, sister remember to come back early."
Gu Jiu nodded, and said to the maidservants, "Let's go."
Going out from the gate of the backyard is the back mountain of Tianmen Temple.
Sure enough, many fruit trees were planted on the hillside, including plums, oranges, peaches and plums.
The peach and plum trees were bearing fruit.
Plums are ready to eat, peaches will be later.
Qingzhu asked: "Miss, do you want to eat plums? Tomorrow, my servant will ask the little novice to help us pick two catties."
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "I don't know if this plum is sweet or not."
Qingzhu quickly said: "It's very sweet. People who have tasted the fruits of Tianmen Temple say they are delicious. The slaves also heard that children from the nearby villages would secretly go to the back mountain to pick the fruits and eat them."
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "Hearing what you said, I'm getting a bit greedy. But I'm too full today, I can't eat anymore.
Tomorrow, I will ask the little novice to help pick some plums and eat them. Let's taste the taste together to satisfy our appetites. "
"Slave remembers."
Several maids were very excited. Not only can you eat seasonal fruits, but more importantly, this kind of comfort is much better than in the mansion.
Gu Jiu walked around the back mountain, the orchard is very big.
She suddenly thought of fruit wine.
In the future, when she has her own Zhuangzi, she will definitely plant many fruits. Wine is made every year from the fruit.
In addition to fruit wine, wine can also be made.
Thinking of the sweet fruit wine, Gu Jiu became hungry again.
"Girl, there is a gazebo in front of you, do you want to rest for a while?"
Gu Jiu took a breath, her body was still too weak, she was a little out of breath after walking for a long time. You have to keep replenishing your body.
She nodded, "Just go to the gazebo and rest for a while."
"The servant is supporting the girl."
Qingmei stretched out her hand to support Gu Jiu.
After walking a certain distance, Gu Jiu suddenly stopped.
The gazebo in front is already occupied.
Unfortunately, they are late.
Qingzhu said: "What should I do, there are already people. Why don't you go and see if there is any room left."
"No need, there are rocks in front of us, let's sit on the rocks and take a breath. We'll go back in a while."
If it wasn't for the lack of physical strength, Gu Jiu really wanted to go back to Puxian Academy directly.
It's a pity that her body is too weak, let her take a breath first, and then get up and go back to Puxian Temple after recovering her strength.
Xiao Cui hurried forward, took out the cushion and put it on the stone, "Miss, please sit down. Do you want some water?"
Gu Jiu nodded.
Xiaocui took out the teapot and cup from the basket, and poured Gu Jiu a cup of tea.
The tea was warm, Gu Jiu took a few breaths and took two sips.
She was getting comfortable when a young man in white clothes passed by the path in front of her and walked straight into the gazebo.
Gu Jiu turned her head and looked at it curiously.
Inside the gazebo, sat a young man in Tsing Yi.
The young man in white was standing in front of the young man in Tsing Yi, and the atmosphere between the two seemed a bit dignified.
A gust of cool wind blew, and the conversation of the two young masters drifted into Gu Jiu's ears from the direction of the gazebo.
"I heard that my cousin came to Jinzhou, but I still didn't believe it. Unexpectedly, my cousin really lives in Tianmen Temple."
Pei Yun looked at Liu Zhao with complicated eyes.
Pei Yun is the eldest daughter of Luhou Peiren, the great general who conquered the West. Because of evading the finger marriage, claiming to be sick, she secretly came to the northwest.
Master Xie Er urged the Xie family to marry Luhou Pei Ren, and the target was Pei Yun.
Gu Jiu's ears moved slightly, the voice was clearly a woman. It turned out that the young man in white was a woman in disguise.
I don't know why, but I need to disguise myself.
Liu Zhao glanced casually into the distance.
Gu Jiu felt that the other party must have noticed him, so he hurriedly withdrew his gaze and stopped looking at him.
The corners of Liu Zhao's mouth curved slightly, revealing a very faint smile, so light that it seemed as if a mask was on his face.
"I was also shocked to hear that my cousin is not recuperating in the capital, but in the Northwest Military Camp."
Pei Yun smiled bitterly, and sat down in front of Liu Zhao, "My cousin should know why I came to the northwest."
Liu Zhao maintained his smile and shook his head, "I don't know."
When Pei Yun heard this, grievances welled up in her heart. She lowered her head and laughed at herself, "Sure enough, I shouldn't have any expectations of you, so I won't be disappointed."
Liu Zhao fell silent.
Pei Yun looked at him, her eyes gradually became serious, "Cousin, you go back. Northwest is not where you should come."
Liu Zhao raised his eyebrows slightly, "Is this what you mean, or what Lu Hou meant?"
"No matter who it is, please cousin return to the capital as soon as possible."
After a pause, Pei Yun said again: "If people find out about your sneaking out of Beijing, you may be in trouble."
Liu Zhao said indifferently: "It seems that uncle already knows that I have come to the northwest, but he refuses to see me. Could it be that uncle has already made a decision."
Pei Yun stared at Liu Zhao, shook her head slightly, "You don't need to ask me, I don't know anything."
Liu Zhao smiled, "I understand. Thank you cousin for making this trip."
Pei Yun stood up, "It's getting late, I should go. Cousin, take care."
After speaking, Pei Yun left in a hurry.
The guards guarding outside the orchard rushed up, surrounded Pei Yun, surrounded her and left.
Gu Jiu had enough rest, "Let's go too."
"This girl, my son is here to invite you."
A well-dressed guard suddenly fell from the sky and landed in front of Gu Jiu. It scared the three girls of Qingmei enough.
"Girl, this servant will protect you." Qing Mei stood in front of Gu Jiu, wary of the guard who fell from the sky in front of her.
The guard stared at Gu Jiu, not paying attention to Qing Mei at all, and said again: "This girl, my son is here to invite you."
Gu Jiu frowned, and asked calmly, "Who is your young master? Do I know him?"
"My son is sitting in the gazebo in front."
Gu Jiu turned around and glanced at the pavilion, "If I don't go, what will you do?"
"I advise the girl to take the initiative to go there. If not, I'm a rough man, I don't know the severity, and I'm afraid I will hurt the young lady."
"How dare you!" Qingmei was furious, "Do you know who my master is? Do you know whose land this is? Dare to hurt my lady, and kill you."
The guard's face was full of anger, and he couldn't help but strike.
Gu Jiu stood up decisively, "Qing Mei, step back."
"Girl?" Qing Mei was very worried.
Gu Jiu shook her head at Qingmei, signaling her not to worry.
The guard in front of him had bright eyes, a strong body, a big knife on his waist, and thick calluses on his hands.
The guards of the Governor's Mansion, compared to this one, are like weak chickens.
This person is obviously not the guard of an ordinary family.
It seems that the young man in the gazebo has a lot of background.
Gu Jiu smiled slightly, and asked the guard: "I haven't asked your son's name yet."
The guard said blankly: "Young Master is Young Master."
Gu Jiu lowered his head and smiled, "Okay, I'll go with you to meet your young master. Please lead the way."
"this way please."
