Gu Jiuge put the pot of narcissus on the desk, no matter how he looked at it, he liked it.
"The flowers are really white. I remember Narcissus has an nickname, Fairy Lingbo, right?"
"The flowers are so fragrant, my room is full of fragrance after a while."
"These flowers... are so beautiful."
Zhong Xia waited at the side, and finally couldn't help it anymore, "Second Young Master, this is not the first time you see daffodils, what about it?"
Gu Jiuge rolled his eyes at him, "What do you know? These are the daffodils sent by Yufu."
Zhong Xia lowered his head and muttered, "Obviously it was cultivated in the greenhouse..."
"Mumbling what?"
"No, nothing."
Gu Jiuge stood up, "I'm going out for a while, you take good care of Hua, don't let it die."
"Huh? I take care of it?"
Zhong Xia looked innocent, "Second Young Master, I don't know how to take care of flowers. It's fine if they are planted in the soil, and I don't know how to take care of those planted in water."
Gu Jiuge was almost at the door, and turned back, "If you don't know it, go to the conservatory and ask Steward Ding, why don't you let me teach you?"
After finishing speaking, he took the folding fan and knocked on his head, and walked through the door.
Zhong Xia suddenly thought of something, ran to the door and shouted, "Second Young Master, where are you going?"
"Go to the outskirts of the city and be back before dark."
He didn't look back, just waved the folding fan casually towards Zhong Xia who was behind him.
Zhong Xia began to mutter again, "In such cold weather, you still carry a folding fan when you go out, the second son is really getting more and more flirty..."
Gu Jiuge rode out of the city alone.
There is a barren mountain outside Lin'an City, the terrain is relatively high, and the snow here will not start to melt until the snow in the city has completely melted.
He remembered that at the time of Shangyuan Festival, there was no snow in the city, so Yin Jixie said that her mother's tomb was buried in snow, it could only be in this place.
He rode his horse to search for it on the mountain. The weather has gradually become warmer recently, the ice has melted and the snow has melted, and the scenery on the mountain can be seen clearly.
The horse passed by many solitary graves, and he carefully avoided those small ones, for fear that the horse's hoof would be disrespectful to the deceased.
Fortunately, although those tombs are small, they all have wooden or stone tombstones, which can be regarded as an eye-catching sign.
Yin Jiqian's mother's tomb can be covered with snow, so there must be no tombstone.
After he figured this out, it was much easier to find, and he only picked those unowned tombs without tombstones.
Suddenly, a wordless stone tablet came into his eyes.
It's strange, people who can afford a stele are unlikely to be reluctant to engrave a few words on it.
There must be some reason why the wordless stele is so weird.
He got off his horse and walked towards the tomb.
The stele is a whole piece of bluestone with delicate texture, which can only be used by rich or noble people, and it is very abrupt to use on such a small tomb.
There were three sticks of incense in front of the stele, Gu Jiuge twisted the incense crumbs with his hands, it was a very precious spice.
Just as he was wondering, he suddenly heard voices approaching from the foot of the mountain. He led his horse and hid in the nearby forest.
Those who came up the mountain were two middle-aged men and a young servant girl. They were ordinary people who did not understand martial arts.
"We are old people doing business for the Prime Minister's Mansion. Don't miss believe us? She even sent a girl all the way to check it out. Look, this mountain road is not easy to walk, right?"
The servant girl said: "This matter is important. It's not that Miss doesn't trust you, but because of her filial piety."
Another man said: "Yes, yes, the girl has come to check it out herself, so the lady can feel at ease. That's fine, that's fine."
The voices of the three were getting closer. Gu Jiuge hid behind a tree and saw them walking to the strange tomb.
The servant girl reached out and touched the stele, "The material of this stele is not bad. Although it can't be erected on the stele, it can be used to comfort the young lady. It's just that the master didn't like the young lady to come out of the city to worship in the imperial capital. Now that the eldest son is in charge, even more The young lady is not allowed to go out of the city. I also invite the two of you to take care of the food and come to burn incense sticks for the young lady's biological mother during the Qingming Festival."
As she spoke, she took out two pieces of silver from her sleeve and gave one piece to each of the two men.
The two men were rewarded, and hurriedly responded: "What the girl said is that the old prime minister told us when he was here, so how dare we not do our best? The identity of the young lady's biological mother is kept secret and has not been disclosed to the outside world, but she is still ours." Master, we naturally dare not slack off."
The servant girl nodded, "Don't worry, I will tell the young lady about your loyalty, and let her have a few good words with the eldest son, it will be of your benefit."
"Hey, thank you miss. The eldest son is now the prime minister. If he has a word, we will be grateful for the benefits of the young lady in the future."
She bowed one last time towards the tombstone and walked down the hill.
After the three of them left, Gu Jiuge walked out from the woods and looked carefully at the wordless stele.
"Yin Jizheng's biological mother is indeed not Mrs. Yin. According to what the three people said, she is from a concubine's house. It's just that the identity of a concubine's house doesn't matter, and Yin Yan went to such great lengths to hide it?"
He was talking to himself, and suddenly he felt a gust of wind blowing, and the sky gradually darkened.
Forget it, I'd better go back to the city and tell my father about it, and then make a long-term plan.
He got on his horse, detoured around the back mountain, and ran quickly towards the city.
