Chapter 1132: What evil intentions could Young Master Gu have?
Gu Moyan's sudden appearance made Miss Xu afraid to stay here any longer. She immediately looked at Tang Zijin, who was still a little stunned, and said, "Zijin, did you fall anywhere?"
Tang Zijin calmed down and shook her head, "Sister Xu, I'm fine."
Miss Xu: "That's good. Since the flowers on this mountainside were picked and planted by others, let's leave quickly."
Tang Zijin nodded: "Okay."
Having said that, he and Miss Xu went down the mountain together.
Before stepping onto the stone steps, Tang Zijin couldn't help but look back at the direction where Gu Moyan and Erha disappeared.
The young master didn't recognize her, which obviously meant he had forgotten her!
Tang Zijin felt a little lost and was silent on the way down the mountain.
Miss Xu said more: "That young man just now looked familiar. I seem to have seen him at a party before." Seeing that Tang Zijin did not respond, she knew that the Tang family had just arrived in Zhongzhou, so she did not mind it and changed the subject.
"By the way, Zijin, do you understand pharmacology? I've heard of Eucommia ulmoides, but I don't know what it looks like."
Tang Zijin smiled and nodded. "When I was a child in Xiliang, I studied medicine for a while with an elder. He grew a lot of medicinal herbs in his medicine fields."
The two of them went down the mountain while chatting. Tang Zijin had something on his mind, so he did not go with Miss Xu to play with other girls. Instead, he returned to Mrs. Tang and sat quietly beside her in a daze.
After returning home, Tang Zijin took out the glass puppy and looked at it for a while.
She didn't expect to meet Gu Moyan so soon, but unfortunately, he didn't remember her at all.
Thinking that he still wanted to ask about his childhood, Tang Zijin smiled self-deprecatingly. He couldn't even remember her, let alone the things that happened in his childhood?
Tang Zijin followed Madam Tang to learn how to manage the household. After several days, he finally put aside the incident of his encounter with Gu Moyan and began to concentrate on his studies.
She had just made up her mind, but who knew that the next day, Lord Tang received a reply from Taohuashan.
It turned out that Lord Tang had arrived in Zhongzhou. After handing over all the affairs in the government office, he wrote a letter to Taohua Mountain, saying that he wanted to pay a visit to the ancient Duke.
When he was an official in Xiliang, Lord Tang was summoned by Gu Jian several times because he often visited the Weiyuan Palace, and they had the honor of having meals at the same table. Now that he has come to Zhongzhou, it is reasonable for him to pay a visit to him.
In Old Madam Tang's room, Lord Tang looked at Tang Zixin and Tang Zijin with a smile and said, "You two sisters should also get ready. The day after tomorrow, you will go to Taohua Mountain with your father to pay a visit to the old Duke."
Hearing this, Tang Zixin's face lit up with joy, while Tang Zijin's face was shocked. Wouldn't going to Taohua Mountain mean meeting the young master again?!
Old Madam Tang looked at Madam Tang and said, "I have two pieces of brocade here, one for Zixin and one for Zijin. I'll have the sewing room make new dresses for the two sisters later, and they must be finished before the day after tomorrow."
"The Emperor and the Crown Prince also live in Peach Blossom Mountain. You must not lose your manners and make sure the two girls are dressed appropriately."
Mrs. Tang's expression fluctuated for a moment, and she looked at Lord Tang and the old lady.
The young master is accompanying the old duke in Taohua Mountain. He has reached adulthood this year, and I heard that he is still unengaged. The master and mother-in-law asked him to bring Zixin and Zijin along so solemnly. Do they have any ideas?
Needless to say, the young master is indeed an excellent candidate for a son-in-law. He has a good family background, handsome looks, and a good character. He has none of the dandy airs of a noble son. Most importantly, the princess is the most sensible. Such a mother-in-law is what every woman wants to meet.
If this were to happen, it would be a great thing for my daughter and the Tang family.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Tang was moved and looked at her daughter quickly. Her daughter was fifteen years old this year and it was time for her to get married.
However, when she saw Tang Zixin next to Tang Zijin, Mrs. Tang's expression darkened again.
The girls of the Tang family are all good-looking, but when the two sisters stand together, Zi Xin, who is more lively and has a brighter appearance, always attracts more attention.
Looking at her daughter's small round face, Mrs. Tang sighed. With her round face, round eyes, and soft personality, she looked a little silly.
Forget it, the young master’s status is too high, and this marriage is not entirely up to them, so let’s not think too much about it now.
Afterwards, Old Madam Tang and the others had something else to say, so they asked Tang Zijin and Tang Zixin to leave first.
After leaving the house, Tang Zijin wanted to go back to her yard, but was stopped by Tang Zixin: "Big sister, is there something wrong?"
Tang Zixin looked at Tang Zijin. She had always been confident that she could surpass Tang Zijin in appearance. However, Tang Zijin was not without merits. This cute and innocent face could win the favor of outsiders, which was something she could not compare with.
Otherwise, when they were young in Xiliang, the young master and princess would not have preferred playing with Tang Zijin.
She is seventeen years old this year. Her grandmother has been looking for men for her in the past two years, but unfortunately she didn't like any of them. Now her father has become the governor of Zhongzhou, and the young master is also in Zhongzhou to take care of the old duke. She feels that this is a marriage given to her by God.
She also understood what her father and grandmother meant just now. Taking her and Tang Zijin to Taohua Mountain must be with the intention of marrying into the Duke's Mansion.
Although she felt that she could surpass Tang Zijin in all aspects, she still felt a little crisis in her heart. Although she got along well with the ladies from various families over the years, she didn't have a true close friend. Tang Zijin, on the other hand, had several close friends.
What if the princess and the others prefer silly guys?
We have to find a way to make her stop coveting the young master!
"Second sister, tell me, does the young master still remember us?"
Tang Zijin was silent for a moment: "The young master has so many playmates, he probably doesn't remember us."
Tang Zixin paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's okay if you don't remember. I still remember that time when you angered the young master. The young master threatened not to let you go to the palace again. You can see how angry he was with you."
Upon hearing this, Tang Zijin's expression suddenly changed.
Tang Zixin continued, "Our family has just arrived in Zhongzhou, and our foundation is not stable. If we can get the protection of the old Duke and the young Duke, father will definitely be able to gain a firm foothold quickly."
"So, when we get to Peach Blossom Mountain, you mustn't get close to the young master. If he remembers the time you annoyed him when you were little and takes his anger out on us, you'll be a sinner in the Tang family."
Chenggong saw Tang Zijin's face turn pale, and Tang Zixin left with a smile.
After she walked away, Zhu Xin spoke up, "Miss, don't listen to the eldest lady. When we were in Xiliang, the young master clearly liked you. The eldest lady is going too far. How can she say that you are a sinner of the Tang family?"
Tang Zijin looked at Tang Zixin's back: "Big sister is warning me not to compete with her for the young master."
Zhu Xin frowned: "Why does she?" Then she snorted, "Even if there is no girl, the young master will not like the eldest girl."
"Back when we were in Xiliang, I saw it clearly. The eldest girl was closer in age to the young master and the princess, but none of them liked to play with her."
Tang Zijin was silent for a moment and said, "Don't say this anymore." Then he turned and walked towards his yard.
