Qian Lan, what kind of person is he? Gu Jin rarely thinks about it.
Although she always heard about this girl from King Luoyang's mouth.
It wasn't until now that she had finally left an impression on Gu Jin's heart.
The soft and slightly moist lips of Lou Yang Wang landed on Gu Jinzhi's cheek, making her heart feel as if it had been stirred by something.
Luoyang Wang, after finishing speaking, had an expression that said "Quickly praise me, I'm so clever" and looked at Gu Jin, making her laugh and cry at the same time.
She moved closer, holding his hands and said with a serious tone: "If I told you that I don't like this kind of kiss at all, what would you do?"
The pride in Wang's eyes turned into anxiety.
He pouted innocently, at a loss for what to say, and couldn't answer.
Gu Jingzi couldn't help but laugh and said, "From now on, if someone wants to hug you, just say no. If you want to hug me, ask me first and I'll agree if I'm willing. Can you do that? If you can, then I'll like it."
"Right!" He nodded hastily.
"What if Qianlan wants you?" Gu Jinyi asked again.
"Xiao Qi said, no way......" He couldn't be sure if his answer was correct, and looked at Gu Jing with trepidation, hoping to get her confirmation.
Gu Jinzhi smiled and nodded vigorously.
Luyang Wang seemed to have let out a sigh of relief, nodding vigorously and saying: "Xiao Qi said no way! Xiao Qi, I've remembered everything!"
"Good boy." Gu Jinzhi patted his head.
The King of Louyang rubbed his hand against hers.
This action, how cool is it like the pet dog that Gu Jin had raised in her previous life? She didn't know why, but her heart suddenly softened.
She likes simple life and prefers pure and simple people.
Gu Jin got up and shouted at the servant by the door to go to San Ye's place, find a book and bring it back to Lu Yang Wang.
Result. Father sent a young servant with a copy of Analects.
Gu Jin and Luoyang Wang played a game of reciting books from memory.
She took out a small pouch she had been carrying with her, inside which there were over ten silver coins.
She said: "Recite it from memory and I'll give you a silver ingot."
As for this reward, King Luyang obviously had no interest and said: "I don't want Little Qi's money..."
"But this is what I gave you." Gu Jin said.
"Oh." He hastily exclaimed with excitement, "Xiao Qi gave it to me, I like them all." He said, revealing a flattering smile.
Gu Jin turned over the middle page and showed it to him.
He glanced at it for only a few seconds before returning the book to Gu Jinzhi. Then he began to recite: "The Master said, 'I can speak of the rituals of Xia, but the Huai barbarians are insufficient as evidence. I can speak of the rituals of Yin, but the Song are insufficient as evidence. There is not enough documentation, therefore...'
Not a single word is different.
Gu Jin's heart skipped a beat.
She asked Lou Yang Wang: "Do you understand what it means?"
Luyang Wang shook his head with a silly smile on his face.
He can only recite.
More than a dozen silver ingots were delivered, and Gu Jinzhi took her maidservants back to the inner courtyard.
After lying down, she couldn't sleep either.
The smile of Luoyang Wang is floating in his mind.
That smile is like a clear spring in a deep valley. Cool and sweet.
In her past life, she also married a man with such a face, but had never seen him smile like that.
Her previous life's husband, smiling, with a few hints of profundity, elegant and noble. Unlike the foolishness of Luoyang Wang.
Marrying the King of Luoyang is suddenly worth looking forward to.
She slept very soundly for the whole night.
The next day at dawn, the King of Luoyang entered the inner courtyard.
After breakfast, Gu Jinzhi supported his mother Song Wantong and took a walk in the courtyard, with Lu Yangwang and Huange following closely behind.
Mu Qing and Nian Lu also followed and served.
The mother of Xiaoyao and Zhu has gone to train the young maids. In the past few days, the mansion also bought more than thirty little maids.
This courtyard is three times larger than the mansion in Yanling Prefecture, with pavilions, towers, corridors and rocks everywhere. Not only do you need people to serve, but also sweep every day.
Song Pan'er was not used to the new wives. Afraid that they would be troublesome, she bought thirty little maids in one breath to do rough and menial work.
"When the weather gets warmer, I want to go to Baiyun Temple. I heard that the Taoist priests at Baiyun Temple are very accurate in fortune-telling." Song Pan'er said, "Let them predict the fate of this child in my belly."
Gu Jinzhi agreed.
"Mother, I'll go too," said Wang Er hastily.
Song Pan'er burst out laughing: "You go ahead! There's a temple fair over there, let's have a great time!"
Uncle Wang is overjoyed.
Louyang Wang hastily said: "I'll go too, I'll go too!" Afraid that Song Xiang'er would disagree, he quietly pulled on Gu Jinzhi's sleeve, "Little Seven, I'm going too."
"Good." Gu Jin said.
The King of Loyang was very happy.
Song Pan'er shared this idea with Gu Yanwen, and Gu Yanwen immediately opposed: "...... If you do this, can you still go out to play? If something goes wrong, it's a big deal!"
His aunt's mother's, Song Pan'er glanced at him and didn't bother to pay attention to him.
Gu Yanzhun knew that Song Pan'er wouldn't listen to advice.
He thought for a moment and said: "You're thinking of going to have your fortune told for the child in your belly, aren't you? I've learned how to use a planchette, I'll invite the pen fairy, and have my fortune told for you, okay?"
Scholars outside often enjoy playing the guqin in their spare time from drinking and having fun.
Song Pan'er still ignored him.
She didn't just go to have her fortune told, she also wanted to go out and take a stroll.
Gu Jingzhi also felt that there was no need to be overly cautious. His mother's body was very healthy, the fetus was stable, and going out for a walk wouldn't do any harm, on the contrary, it would lift her mood.
She stood on her mother's side and urged to go to Baiyun Temple.
Gu Yanwen tried to persuade him to stay, but he had to give up.
Song Pan'er flipped through the Yellow Calendar. March 26th is a very good day.
So, the trip was set on the 26th.
Gu Yanwen had no choice but to go out and arrange a horse-drawn carriage for them, saying: "I'll go with Xiu Ge too."
Everyone went, and Song Pan'er took the opportunity to say: "Ask Father if he wants to go and have some fun too?"
Gu Yanzhong did not dare go.
He coughed: "Father is busy writing, where has the time?" He was afraid that Old Master would scold him for not studying all day and only thinking about going out to socialize.
He will attend the spring exam in March tomorrow.
"I'll go ask." Gu Jinzi volunteered.
Song Pan'er smiled and said okay.
Gu Jin indeed went to ask.
"...since coming to the capital, these days, except for the last time when my elder brother took Huan and Xiu out to a temple fair, I haven't gone out. It's been a long time since we left the capital, I want to go out and take a look. Why don't you come along too?"
"White Cloud Temple?" The old man asked back.
Gu Jin nodded.
The old man fell silent for a moment, as if pondering something.
He then said: "Since it's settled that we'll go on the 26th, let's go two days in advance to give a heads up and have the Taoist temple prepare a clean room for us to rest."
He agreed and went.
Gu Jinzhi was slightly surprised.
She said yes. She turned around and went back to the inner courtyard, telling Song Wanting.
Song Pan'er and Gu Yanwen were also shocked.
Ask them, it was they who were being filial, no one thought that the old man would really agree.
The old man had been in Yanling Mansion for six years and had only gone out a few times to burn incense at the Tianning Temple, otherwise he never left the house.
"I'll go and make a breakthrough myself." Gu Yanwen said, "The White Cloud Temple is bustling with incense, I'm afraid if the young masters go, they won't be able to keep the side rooms quiet."
Song Pan'er nodded, letting Peony open the money box. She took out two silver notes and handed them to Gu Yanwen: "Add some more oil money. The old man rarely goes out, everything should be taken care of."
Gu Yanwen nodded.
Gu Yanwen had just left when a young servant came in to report that Qin Wei, the fourth master, was accompanied by several servants carrying gift boxes to see Seventh Miss.
It must be Empress Dowager who scolded you, and now you come to thank me.
There are people in this world who are open and honest, some who are loyal and kind.
Some people are worth socializing with, such as Qin Shengyi.
Some people are just not worth it, like Qin Wei Si.
"Tell him I'm not at home." Gu Jinzhi instructed the young servant, "Don't accept his things. Next time he comes, still say I'm not at home. No matter what he says, don't go and inform Third Master, let Third Master be troubled. If it's said incorrectly, I won't agree to it."
The young servant hastily replied in the affirmative.
Song Pan'er coldly snorted: "Call him in, I'll say a few words to him! He sent something over, why didn't he accept it?"
Gu Jingzhi blocked her way, saying: "Mother, that person has a strong grudge and is vengeful. If you scold him, he will definitely do something bad. We are safe inside, but Father often goes out... Let's just ignore him."
Gu Yanzhong is a kind and gentle person. He is indeed easily deceived when he goes out.
Song Pan'er nodded.
Qin Wei came four times in a row for three days, and was rejected at the door each time. He didn't dare come again after that. This is a later story.
The Chengguo Gongfu side heard that the third house and the old master are going to Baiyun Temple to burn incense, although they don't know what's going on, but since the old master has gone, the son and daughter-in-law can't pretend to be unaware.
The lady then brought her mother-in-law over and asked: "What day is it? We'll also go join in the fun."
"Isn't your great uncle going to be sent to Annan country, and will set off in a few days?" Song Tian'er said, "Your family is also busy, no need to accompany us. It's not a big deal, just borrowing the White Cloud Temple, strolling around the nearby temple fair, and having some fun."
Great Uncle Gu Yanwu is waiting for Prince Yong's body to recover.
The king's fever has subsided after being treated with medicine. However, he has many deep wounds and is expected to need at least half a month of rest to recover.
"He went out on imperial business, so nothing needs to be prepared at home." The madam smiled and said, "Since he's going for a stroll, we'll go for a stroll too."
Made up his mind to go together.
Song Pan'er had no choice but to agree.
She originally wanted to go for a walk, but it ended up being a big production.
The people from both the big house and the second house have all gone.
The second lady of the Second House did not want to travel with Song Dan'er, so she sent Fourth Sister and Sixth Sister to follow her.
The big house is Big Grandma and Big Madam, along with their entourage of maidservants.
Before he knew it, he was twenty-six and the people from the main house had already arrived early.
The old man looked at them, furrowed his brow, and turned to Gu Yan Zhen.
Gu Yanwen smiled and said: "Big brother and sister-in-law, as well as second brother and sister-in-law also want to go for a stroll, but are afraid it's too crowded..."
The old man snorted and got on the carriage himself.
Song Pan'er however pulled Four Maiden of the Second House and asked: "Now, you all have moved to Jingyuan? Is it still spacious now? Has Pei Jie scolded us again?"
The fourth girl was a bit tongue-tied, and Song Pan'er was also her elder, she was so embarrassed by Song Pan'er's words that her face turned red and she couldn't utter a single word.
The madam and the old lady looked at each other and smiled, shaking their heads in dismay.
This Song family doesn't let anyone off easy anywhere.
Not far away, a cerulean-robed youth with a slender build and neatly combed temples had a white jade hairpin that emitted a warm glow.
He leaned against Gu Jinzhi, speaking carefully about something, his expression, handsome and extraordinary.
The fourth daughter hurriedly pushed the sixth daughter to take a look.
That's Luoyang Wang...
People always say he's handsome. Now that I've taken a look, indeed he is as if finely carved, perfectly handsome.
Especially the smile, like the warm sunshine.
He leaned tightly against Gu Jinzhi, and Liu Gongnang also smiled with pursed lips.

Thank you for Mai Zi Qi's reward.
