In the garden, there is an empty space.
This place was originally a place where people in Guhou's mansion often come. Regardless of season, there are flowers and plants of various colors here.
All flowers bloom in spring, and the lotus blooms in summer.
The golden autumn chrysanthemums are proud of the frost, and the winter plums and snows are competing for fragrance.
Now is the season of vacancy, the golden chrysanthemums have withered, and the plum blossoms have not yet bloomed, so the garden looks very depressed.
Gu Jiuge stood under the empty plum branches, feeling lost.
Suddenly, not far away, a figure of a woman in white came out from the plum tree, looking very weak.
"Sparse shadows and slanting water, clear and shallow water, dark fragrance floating in the moon dusk."
She sang a song about Xiaomei in Shanyuan by Lin Bu, and she pretended to have a serious voice, which was somewhat similar to that of Yufu.
He couldn't help laughing out loud.
Startled by his laughter, the woman turned her face sideways, her face was pretty and she had a cool demeanor.
"why are you laughing?"
She didn't ask who she was, but what she was laughing at, so she knew her identity.
Gu Jiuge raised his eyebrows, but couldn't remember who she was.
"I'm laughing. The plum blossoms haven't bloomed yet, and there are no shadows. The sky is bright and the sun is bright, and there is no moon or dusk. The poem Miss just sang is too inappropriate."
I see.
The woman in white smiled slightly and walked towards him slowly.
"Only the word horizontal and oblique is enough. I couldn't find a better word to describe plum branch."
The word horizontal and oblique in Lin Bu's poem refers to the willful mood of the plum branches. The plum branches seem to be horizontal and shapeless, but they have a strong character.
Gu Jiuge smiled, "It seems that Miss is also a temperamental person."
The two were chatting eagerly when suddenly several women came from outside the garden.
"Second Young Master, what a coincidence, you're here too?"
When the women saw Gu Jiuge, their eyes lit up and they walked towards him quickly.
When he got closer, he found that there was another woman beside him, who was beautiful and thin, but her clothes were more modest.
"Who is this girl, why have I never seen it before?"
A richly dressed lady looked her up and down rudely.
Dressing so plainly, she must not be the daughter of a wealthy family, and she must be an unworthy person who wants to seduce Gu Jiuge!
"We haven't seen her either."
The ladies behind all shook their heads and looked at the woman in white with malicious intent.
A girl from a small family wants to hook up with the son of Guhou's mansion
no way!
"My name is Yin Jiqian, I'm..."
Except for Prime Minister Yin, there is no other official named Yin in the court.
They had never heard that Prime Minister Yin had a daughter. It seemed that this woman was indeed not a worthy figure.
Gu Jiuge was a little surprised when he heard this name.
Hearing that Yin Shuo brought his younger sister here today, it must be Yin Jixie in front of him.
"I've never heard of your name. What are you and the Second Young Master doing here? Lonely and widowed, Miss Yin is too self-respecting."
"I… "
Before Yin Jizhen had time to argue, another woman said: "Exactly. Do you know how many women in the Manchu Dynasty admire the Second Young Master? How can it be your turn!"
The woman became mean, her lips and teeth were sharp.
A group of women surrounded and attacked a weak woman. This scene was such that a man could not stand by and watch.
"My ladies, please be careful. If I guess correctly, this lady is the daughter of Prime Minister Yin, right?"
When Gu Jiuge opened his mouth suddenly, those women who had high self-esteem were stunned.
"How is it possible... You are the daughter of Prime Minister Yin?"
"It's me. Before I finished speaking, you interrupted me."
Yin Jizheng pursed her lips aggrievedly, presumably she had a weak temperament, and she didn't know how to fight back when she was said so while standing.
Fortunately, Gu Jiuge was here.
The women looked at each other, and after confirming Yin Jizheng's identity, their faces were colorful and beautiful.
"So, it's Miss Yin. I'm really sorry, we've never seen you before."
The leading woman looked embarrassed, she was the one who said that Yin Ji was not self-respecting.
Yin Ji said: "I was born weak, and my father rarely let me go out, so you don't recognize me. But I recognize you. At the Mid-Autumn Palace banquet that day, didn't you sit behind Mrs. Wu Duwei?"
The woman she was looking at was the young lady of the Fifth Captain's family.
"Yes... I belong to the fifth captain's family. I'm really sorry, Miss Yin, we didn't mean it."
If I knew it was the daughter of Prime Minister Yin's family, who would dare to provoke her
Yin Ji was about to say something, but Gu Jiuge interrupted her with a smile, her peachy eyes were intoxicating.
"Miss Yin, why don't you care about it for my sake. You ladies didn't mean it. You don't usually go out and walk around. Many friends will also have many playmates in the future."
"Yes, yes, Miss Yin, we can be friends!"
Those women not only found the steps, but also made friends with Yin Jiqian, they were very happy.
Yin Jixie glanced at Gu Jiuge, bit her lip, and smiled at those women.
This is considered agreed.
After the girls left, she complained to Gu Jiuge in a low voice, "I was bullied, I only gave you face because you helped me speak out. But you helped the bully again, so I can't even pursue it. "
Jiaojiao's soft tone is not so much a complaint as a coquettish anger.
Gu Jiuge suddenly became interested, "It's easy for you to offend them, but they can't afford to offend the Prime Minister. It's just that you seldom go out, so you don't have any friends. I'll smooth things over for you and be a good person. If you don't accept my favor Is it?"
As soon as Yin Jixie raised her head, she met his peach blossom eyes, and her heart beat tense for a moment.
I wanted to look away, but it was like being sucked into a whirlpool, and I couldn't look away no matter what.
Suddenly someone came from a distance, "Second son, something happened, the seventh prince of Xikun sneaked into the outer study, and was caught by Lord Hou on the spot!"
