Gu Chen did not follow Gu Jin back to Yuanbao Hutong again.
Gu Jinzhi returned home with only Zhu Zhongjun and Lin Yi.
At first when he got on the car, Zhu Zhongjun felt uncomfortable all over and his attention was elsewhere, so he didn't notice Lin Yi.
He didn't look at Lin Yu until he got off the carriage in front of Gu's residence, his eyes scanning him up and down with a hint of inquiry.
Lin Yi smiled and bowed to him with his hands clasped together.
In Lin Yi's view, Gu Jingzhi and Zhu Zhongjun are both children.
In Zhu Zhongjun and Gu Jin's eyes, Lin Yi was just a young man.
Lin Yi's simple and elegant attire, with a hint of detachment from worldly affairs, his refined smile, is the type of man that Gu Jin likes.
In her past life, Gu Jinzhi liked quiet and clean gentle boys who didn't pursue wealth or fame.
She has always disliked those who curry favor like Zhu Zhongjun.
Zhu Zhongjun's expression turned several shades darker.
He gave Gu Jin a glance.
Gu Jin smiled slightly.
She led Lin Yue to Old Master's study.
Lin Yingze looked at this house all the way.
He also followed his master to many noble and wealthy families.
A house like Gu's is considered upper-class and exquisite.
What is this family's status after all?
He secretly harbored it in his heart.
The old man heard that Gu Jin had found a master to sit in the hall, and didn't even ask what his surname or name was. He directly let Hua Qin come out and tell Gu Jin: "The old master said, whatever Seventh Miss likes is fine, no need to ask him. In the next few days, don't let Seventh Miss come to disturb..."
The way of Gu Zhen is righteousness.
She saw Lin Yi out the door and told him, "Since that's the case, I'll be troubling you more often at the shop from now on. Please return to the shop first, I'll arrange for dinner, and welcome you back."
Lin Ying smiled and thanked him.
Gu Jin returned to the inner house and told Song Tian'er about Lin Yi's matter again.
It so happened that Gu Yunzhong was also present.
He asked: "Actually a Taoist?"
"He himself said it wasn't," Gu Jingzhi said, "He hasn't formally learned the Tao yet, just followed his master to serve for a few years. However, I've examined him and his medical skills are really good. Hopefully he'll have a bright future..."
Gu Yanwen just smiled.
Song Pan'er said: "As long as the medical skills are good, it's settled. After a year, they will be dismissed, regardless of their character."
Gu Jin nodded.
She thought of Lin Yi's words to entertain the guests, and said to Song Tan'er: "Mother, let someone go to Zhenyuan Garden for dinner, order a few famous dishes, and lift a good wine cellar, send it to Mr. and Big Brother?"
Song Pan'er agreed.
She called the housekeeper in and told her to take some money to order food.
He ordered accordingly. Gu Jinzhi then returned to his own courtyard.
She pulled out from her bosom a book she had snatched from Zhu Zhongjun...
Since you've bought it, you can't just buy one copy, right?
Gu Jin thought for a moment, then lifted his foot and went out of the courtyard.
She knew that Zhu Zhongjun was bored and idle for more than half a year, and he must be annoyed in his heart.
He used to be a person who didn't dare to relax for a moment. He had to be ready at all times. Only by staying vigilant could he feel at ease.
But now it's so chaotic...
He never said anything about it. He must be uncomfortable in his heart too.
It can be seen as a romantic novel but it's not allowed.
No wonder he hasn't been sticking around Gu Jin lately.
Gu Jinzhi went to Waiyuan.
Zhu Zhongjun's living quarters were located in a wing of the outer courtyard, to the south of the East Garden, near the wall of the Luoyang Wangfu Villa...
The end of February in Beijing has no warmth and mildness like Jiangnan.
The winter plum blossoms have not yet withered, and the welcome spring flowers are quietly dotted on the branches.
Zhu Zhongjun's courtyard had a branch of peach blossoms that curved and stretched, hanging on the wall, with half-opened and half-closed delicate yellow buds, all showing elegant charm.
Gu Jin slightly bowed her head and followed by her maid Yu Ruo, crawled over from under the branch.
He has only two maidservants in his outer house who attend him personally.
There were also two young men, two guards and seven or eight rough-looking amahs.
Everyone hastened to pay their respects as Gu Jin arrived.
Gu Jin smiled and asked them: "Where is Wang Ye?"
A small servant said: "The king is lying in the inner room, saying that his body is uncomfortable."
Gu Jin was slightly surprised.
Is it physical discomfort or mental discomfort?
She didn't wait for the maid inside to come out and roll up the curtain, but went into the inner room herself.
Wei Rou stood at the door and spoke to Xiao Shuai: "Those branches outside, why haven't they been cut? They're blocking the road and can't be walked on. Just now, I and the young lady had to crawl through. What if it's dark at night and Master Wang trips over them?"
The little fellow smiled and said, "Sister doesn't know, it's not that we're lazy, but the king specifically ordered us not to cut it down. We've eaten the gall of a fierce leopard, and we don't dare go against the king's wishes. You and the young lady don't come here often, so you think it's in the way. But we're familiar with the king, and when we get there, we'll just bow our heads..."
What if someone else comes?
Kexiao Shu said it was King Wang's personal order, and Wei Ruo continued to speak, which would be disrespectful to King Wang.
She didn't say anything more and lifted the curtain to enter the house.
The two maids who were serving in the inner house happened to come out.
When they see each other, they bow to each other.
Gu Jinzhi and Zhu Zhongjun were in the inner house, they sent them out.
The two maidservants smiled and asked Yu Rong: "Sister, what tea are you drinking?" Then they pulled Yu Rong to the small ear house to drink tea, one on the left and one on the right.
Zhu Zhongjun was lying inside, dozing off with his eyes closed.
Gu Jing called out to him, but he didn't move.
The maids all said that the king hadn't slept.
Gu Jinzhi put his hand on him and asked: "Why did you fall asleep as soon as you came back? Did you catch a chill at the pharmacy this afternoon, and your body doesn't feel well?"
The room behind the pharmacy is indeed quite cold.
Zhu Zhongjun still didn't speak.
"I confiscated your book, aren't you feeling unwell about it?" There was a smile in Gu Jin's voice.
Zhu Zhongjun shifted his body slightly towards the inside of the bed, still with his back to the outside, ignoring Gu Zhen.
Gu Jinzhi took off his shoes and climbed onto the bed, wanting to turn over his body to take a look.
"Stop arguing!" Zhu Zhongjun finally lost his patience and muttered.
Gu Jinzi pulled his quilt again.
Under his quilt, he was actually wearing clothes.
"Alright. I won't disturb you. Since you want to sleep, take off your clothes first. Sleeping in your clothes like this will make it easy to catch a chill when you get up..."
Zhu Zhongjun fell silent again.
Gu Jinzhi came to confiscate books.
Who knew, as soon as he came, he saw him sleeping. The maids were also asking him what was wrong.
He didn't answer either.
Gu Jinzi saw that he was unwilling to respond to her, so she thought about the purpose of her visit and began to rummage through his pillow.
Zhu Zhongjun still didn't move.
There was nothing under the pillow, and Gu Jingze swept his eyes over the four corners of the quilt again.
There is no obvious place to start...
So, there is no book hidden under the bed.
Gu Jin got out of bed and began to quietly search through his dresser, the corners of the colorful screen, top and bottom, one by one.
Still nothing.
Then she crawled under the bed to look.
The floor was dark and unclear, and the ground was cool. Gu Jinzi hurriedly got up.
She had just straightened her waist and found that Zhu Zhongjun was already sitting up.
He sat cross-legged, staring at Gu Jinzhi. His tone was cold and unfamiliar. He asked her: "What are you looking for?"
In his previous life, he would also ask questions when he was angry.
At that time, Gu Jin's heart was racing.
When she had just gotten married, she didn't know why. She always felt a kind of inexplicable fear towards Zhu Zhongjun. Or rather, guilt...
Probably thinks that no matter whether it's character, appearance or family background, they are far from being a match for Zhu Zhongjun.
Now, this anxiety has long gone, so his tone remains unchanged, but Gu Jing's mindset is already different from that of the past.
She smiled and said, "Looking for inner reading materials! I've said it before, we can't have these things at home. This kind of thing easily distracts young boys. My two younger brothers are both going to take the imperial examination!"
"It's gone!" said Zhu Zhongjun, "There is only one left."
Gu Jin has turned everything upside down.
"She said: 'Since it's like this, I won't disturb you. From now on, don't dare buy any more, got it?'"
Zhu Zhongjun ignored her and just gave her a cold look.
Gu Jin didn't understand what he meant, but knew his emotions were off.
She sat down beside his bed, and asked him seriously: "What's wrong? In this world, apart from me, who else can you talk to about your thoughts? You're old enough, don't be so troublesome. Tell me..."
Zhu Zhongjun's mouth twitched again and again.
His face looked even more unsightly.
Gu's words were like a sharp knife, piercing into her heart.
In this world, constrained by the emperor's taboo, before leaving the capital, he had to pretend to be a fool. He had no friends, his family couldn't get close to him, he was all alone, with only Gu Jinzhi.
And Gu Jin...
Gu Jin has a complete life, a complete world. She has her own career, family and pursuits.
Leaving Zhu Zhongjun, her life will not change anything.
But Zhu Zhongjun is now like a baby in this world, he needs to hold Gu Jin's hand, like a child holding his parents' hands, learning to walk.
He couldn't bear to part with Gu Jin.
This unequal treatment made Zhu Zhongjun feel very uncomfortable.
He doesn't like it.
In case Gu Jin changed his mind, he couldn't do anything and could only watch helplessly.
Having lost control of his life, Zhu Zhongjun was at a loss for what to do.
He tried hard not to think about it and followed Gu Jing's wishes, acting like a fool.
Now, Gu Jin's words deeply hurt him.
Old pains and new wounds all surged up in his mind at once.
He got angry and tightly grasped Gu Jinzhi's arm.
"Don't be so smug..." he said.
The words had not been spoken yet, but I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my lower right abdomen.
He took a deep breath and also relaxed his grip.
The pain was intense and lasted for a moment before passing.
Gu Jin was taken aback and asked him: "Is your body uncomfortable? Where does it hurt?"
Zhu Zhongjun didn't want to bother with her, but his stomach was uncooperative and ached again.
He's just short of calling out.
"I... I think I have appendicitis." Zhu Zhongjun said.
He had appendicitis before and knew the feeling.
Gu Jin's face suddenly changed color.
He has acute appendicitis.
Traditional Chinese medicine is very weak in treating acute illnesses.
