Chapter 1135: What evil intentions could Young Master Gu have?
After Tang Zijin left, Gu Moyan had no interest in continuing to talk to Tang Zixin: "You continue to look at the peach blossoms." After saying this, he was about to go back to Taohua An.
It was so hard to meet Gu Moyan, and Tang Zijin was pushed away by her. How could Tang Zixin miss the opportunity to be alone with Gu Moyan, and immediately trotted to catch up with her.
"I've already picked quite a few peach blossoms, and it's time to go back."
On the way, Tang Zixin kept trying to find topics to talk about, but unfortunately, he only got a perfunctory answer or two from Gu Moyan.
This made Tang Zixin very depressed. They were chatting happily just now, so how come the young master ignored her in the blink of an eye?
On the other side, Tang Zijin had returned to Taohua An. At this time, Gu Jian, who was taking a nap in the yard, just woke up.
During this period, the emperor had been urging the crown princess to help Gu Moyan with her marital affairs. Gu Jian knew this, and when he saw a strange little girl suddenly appear in the yard, he immediately realized that this must be the daughter of another official.
Gu Jian was also very concerned about Gu Moyan's marriage, but he didn't usually ask about it because he was afraid of putting too much pressure on Gu Moyan and afraid that he would just find a random girl and marry her.
A wife is someone you should be with for life. If possible, he hopes that Gu Moyan can be like his parents and find a girl he likes and who likes him to spend his life with.
Gu Jian had never seen the girls invited by the Crown Princess before, but since he met one today, he felt he needed to check her out, so he immediately waved to the girl to come closer.
When Tang Zijin saw that Gu Jian had woken up, she had originally wanted to go over and pay her respects. Now, seeing him waving at her, her face suddenly lit up with joy, and she hurried forward: "Zijin pays her respects to the old ancestor. Has the old ancestor been in good health these years?" Her face was full of admiration.
She liked the old duke very much. When she was a child, every time she went to Weiyuan Palace to play, the old duke not only gave her all kinds of delicious food, but also taught her to recognize herbs. Most of the medical theories she knew were taught to her by the old duke.
Also, whenever the young master bullied her, the old duke would help her stop him. He was a very kind old man.
Hearing Tang Zijin's words, Gu Jian was stunned at first, then he sat up and looked at Tang Zijin carefully.
After watching silently for a while, Gu Jian finally showed a look of sudden realization and said with joy, "It's Zijin girl, you've grown so big! Come closer, let me take a good look."
Tang Zijin walked forward with a smile. Knowing that Gu Jian was too old and his eyesight was poor, he turned around twice in front of him so that he could see more clearly.
Gu Jian laughed repeatedly and said, "Well, well, the little girl from before has grown into a big girl."
Although he is a loner, he still likes children very much. He still has some impression of the children who play well with his three little darlings at home.
He remembered the girl Zijin the most clearly.
It's simple. This girl looked like a chubby little bun when she was a child. She was very cute, and that's why she attracted the clutches of his Mo Yan.
That naughty boy Mo Yan always likes to pinch the little girls' chubby faces, which always makes them cry, forcing him to stand up and comfort the little girls.
This girl is also a silly one. When she was bullied, she liked to follow Mo Yan around. At those times, he thought it was abnormal if the little girl didn't cry seven or eight times a day.
Gu Jian held the handrail and tried to stand up.
When Tang Zijin saw this, he hurried forward to support Gu Jian.
After Gu Jian stood up, he smiled and asked, "Miss Zijin, when did you come to Zhongzhou?"
Tang Zijin smiled and told Gu Jian about Master Tang's appointment as the Governor of Zhongzhou. "My father and mother wanted to come and pay their respects to you, but you were resting at the time, so my father went to see the Emperor and the Crown Prince first, and my mother took my sister and me to see the Crown Princess."
Gu Jian listened with a smile, led Tang Zijin to the main hall, and said with a smile: "I remember that you, little girl, loved to eat the cakes in my room the most. You haven't eaten them for so many years. Do you miss them badly?"
This girl is a foodie. She started crying when she was bullied, but she stopped crying immediately after being comforted by some pastries.
Hearing this, Tang Zijin felt a little embarrassed: "Are the cakes in the ancestor's house delicious?"
Gu Jian laughed and said, "Then eat more later. I'll pack some for you to take back when you leave."
Tang Zijin felt more and more embarrassed. The old ancestor actually remembered her gluttony so clearly.
When she was in Xiliang, she was always eating and taking things.
Gu Jian suddenly asked, "By the way, do you still remember Mo Yan?"
Tang Zijin paused, then nodded and said, "Of course I remember."
Gu Jian smiled and nodded: "It's good that you remember. You knew each other when you were little. Now you haven't seen each other for many years. You should get to know each other more and don't be estranged. I remember that you loved playing with Mo Yan when you were little."
As they were talking, the two of them entered the hall.
Tang Zijin helped Gu Jian sit down.
Gu Jian immediately ordered Caiju to go get some cakes from the kitchen, then said to Tang Zijin, "It's almost noon. You should stay here and have lunch with me."
Tang Zijin smiled and agreed: "Thank you, ancestor."
Just then, Gu Moyan strode in, followed by Tang Zixin.
Gu Moyan glanced at Tang Zijin, then walked over to Gu Jian with a smile: "Grandpa, who do you want to invite to dinner?"
Gu Jian immediately pointed at Tang Zijin and said with a smile: "Of course it's Miss Zijin, you still remember her, right?"
Gu Moyan smiled and said, "Of course I remember, little chubby face."
Gu Jian glared at Gu Moyan: "Don't call me nicknames." Although Zijin's face was still chubby, she was a grown-up girl. It would be so embarrassing to call her a nickname!
Gu Jian smiled at Tang Zijin and said, "Ignore him, he's just joking with you."
Tang Zixin, who was standing by, saw that the old Duke didn't even look at her and was talking to Tang Zijin, and the young Duke had no intention of introducing her, so she had to stand up herself.
"Zixin pays his respects to the old Duke!"
Gu Jian paused, then he noticed Tang Zixin: "Whose family are you from? Why are you here?"
Tang Zixin choked and glanced at Gu Moyan. Seeing that he had no intention of helping her out, she could only smile awkwardly and said, "My Lord, I am the eldest daughter of the Tang family. I came here with the young master and wanted to pay my respects to you."
After saying that, he hurried forward and saluted.
Gu Jian said "Oh". He didn't have much impression of Tang Zixin. He just waved his hand casually to let her stand up, then looked at Tang Zijin again: "She is also a girl from the Tang family. Are you sisters?"
Tang Zijin nodded and replied, "Answering the ancestor, she is my eldest sister."
Hearing Tang Zijin's address, Tang Zixin began to feel indignant again.
They are obviously both girls of the Tang family, but Tang Zijin has the permission of the old Duke and can follow the young master in calling the old Duke "ancestor", but she cannot.
Although it is just a small title, outsiders who hear it will definitely think that Tang Zijin and the young master have a closer relationship.
At this time, Caiju came back with cakes.
When Gu Jian saw this, he quickly asked Caiju to place the cakes in front of Tang Zijin: "Quick, Zijin loves cakes, serve them all to her."
At Gu Jian's age, everything he thinks and does is really based on his own preferences.
Naturally, he tried his best to take care of Tang Zijin, whom he liked; but as for Tang Zixin, who he had no impression of, he simply ignored her.
In the end, Caiju took the girl's face into consideration and placed a plate of pastries on the coffee table where Tang Zixin was sitting.
Tang Zixin looked at the pastries in front of Tang Zijin, which almost filled the coffee table, and then looked at the small plate in front of herself. The smile on her face really couldn't be maintained.
Just sending away beggars!
From childhood to adulthood, she has never been treated so poorly!
Whether at home or visiting guests, has she ever done better than Tang Zijin?
The old Duke is really blind, he likes that stupid Tang Zijin!
When thinking about these things, Tang Zixin's emotions inevitably showed on her face. When Gu Moyan saw this, he frowned.
Gu Jian ignored all this and continued to let Tang Zijin eat the cakes with a smile: "Zijin girl, eat more, don't be polite, you look so thin, I remember that when you were a child, your face was round and chubby, not to mention how cute you were."
Gu Moyan agreed with this very much. After thinking about it, she sat down below Tang Zijin and picked up a piece of black glutinous rice cake and handed it to Tang Zijin: "You really should eat more." There was a teasing smile on her face.
She actually dared to ignore him and just leave. I'll see if he doesn't set some rules for her.
Tang Zijin looked at the fist-sized black glutinous rice cake and swallowed her saliva. After eating this, how could she eat her meal later? Besides, the glutinous rice cake was very sticky. If she was not careful, she would be embarrassed!
Seeing that Tang Zijin didn't take it, Gu Moyan directly reached out and handed it to her mouth: "Why, do you dislike the cakes I chose for you? Or do you dislike me?"
Tang Zijin wanted to refuse but didn't dare. She weakly opened her mouth, took a bite, and took the black glutinous rice cake.
Gu Moyan smiled triumphantly, then quickly picked out some sweet and generous pastries and piled them in front of Tang Zijin: "You have to eat all of these, if you can't finish them."
"Bang!"
Before he could finish his words, the tickler in Gu Jian's hand hit Gu Moyan.
"You little bastard, you're bullying Zijin again!"
Then, pointing at the pile of cakes that Gu Moyan had picked, he said, "Do you think Zijin is a pig? How could she finish so many cakes in one go?"
Tang Zijin: Pig? I always feel that the ancestors still look down on her! Unfortunately, she has no evidence.
Gu Moyan was trying to hold back her laughter.
pig?
Looking at Tang Zijin's puffy cheeks, Gu Moyan clicked his tongue twice and said, "You know what, she really does look a bit like a pig."
Tang Zixin's mood improved at this moment. Tang Zijin was just being used as an object of entertainment by the old Duke and the young Duke!
Caiju looked at the unreliable old master, then at the young master who loved to play tricks on people, sighed, and had to stand up to help the second girl of the Tang family:
"My dear master, lunch is almost here. How about I pack up some cakes and let Miss Zijin take them home?"
Gu Jian nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, yes, look at my memory. It's time to eat soon, how can I eat so many pastries?" After saying that, he asked Caiju to put the pastries away.
After hearing this, Tang Zijin breathed a sigh of relief and quickly put down the black glutinous rice cake in her hand. Seeing Gu Moyan staring at her, she couldn't help but explain, "I'll go home and eat."
Gu Moyan snorted and said nothing.
Not long after, Gu Jian started serving the meal.
"Come, Zijin girl, sit here."
Gu Jian asked Tang Zijin to sit to his lower right, and Gu Moyan to his lower left.
When Tang Zixin saw the young master and Tang Zijin sitting face to face, she felt unhappy again.
She is the eldest daughter of the Tang family and Tang Zijin's sister, but now she can only sit below Tang Zijin. It's really frustrating to think about it.
Unfortunately, no one here cares about her feelings.
Gu Jian was in a good mood today and kept asking Tang Zijin to eat.
Tang Zijin is indeed a foodie. Looking at the table full of delicious food, he even ignored Gu Moyan's gaze and was completely immersed in the various delicacies.
One chopstick, two chopsticks, three chopsticks
Gu Moyan watched in amazement as Tang Zijin stretched out and retracted the chopsticks in his hand, stretching them out and retracting them again. His red little mouth was bulging with food, like a little hamster.
Seeing her eating so happily, Gu Jian's appetite also whetted, and he picked up his chopsticks much faster than usual.
"Grandfather, this lion head is quite good."
"Okay, I'll try it."
"Grandpa, this squirrel fish tastes really good."
"I'll try it too!"
Braised Lion's Head is Tang Zijin's favorite food. Seeing that there was one left on the plate, Tang Zijin reached out with his chopsticks again.
However, just when she was about to pick up the lion's head, another pair of chopsticks appeared and held down the lion's head.
Tang Zijin looked at the owner of the chopsticks and silently took back his chopsticks.
Seeing this, Gu Moyan smiled and slowly picked up the lion's head, then took a bite of most of it and acted intoxicated.
This look of asking for a beating made Tang Zijin's teeth itch.
Don’t be angry, don’t be angry. It’s just a lion’s head. If you don’t want to eat it, then don’t eat it. What’s the big deal?
Tang Zijin withdrew his gaze from Gu Moyan and turned to pick up the Longjing shrimp.
Just as the chopsticks reached the shrimp, they were held back by Gu Moyan's chopsticks.
Tang Zijin looked at Gu Moyan, let go of the shrimps he was holding, and picked up other dishes.
However, Gu Moyan came over to make trouble again.
This time, Tang Zijin became a little angry and glared at Gu Moyan angrily.
What's wrong with the young master?
There are so many dishes on the table, why are you fighting with her?
The round almond-shaped eyes were not aggressive at all, but rather cute and silly, which made Gu Moyan even more arrogant.
Gu Jian saw the two people's fight clearly, but he had no intention of stopping them. On the contrary, he watched it with great joy and ate with relish.
Among the people at the table, one was eating, one was making noise, and one was watching the show. Only Tang Zixin, who was ignored, had no appetite at all.
On the other side, the Crown Princess was also preparing to have dinner. Seeing that Tang Zixin and Tang Zijin had not returned yet, she sent a maid to look for them. Soon, the maid came back.
"Replying to the Crown Princess, the old Duke invited the two girls to have dinner with him."
Hearing this, the Crown Princess's eyes moved, and she looked at Madam Tang with a smile: "The old Duke rarely invites people to dinner. It seems that the two girls are very much in his favor. This lunch can only be eaten by the two of us."
Mrs. Tang responded with a smile, but she was worried about Tang Zijin in her heart.
She knew that whenever Tang Zixin was present, her daughter would become invisible.
I guess I'm going to be angry again!
