Chapter 39 Orchids(1/2)

Zheng Gui told everyone that another guest had come, but looked at Ji Xiaotang, as if he was looking forward to Ji Xiaotang's meeting with the new guest.∏∈,

Although the guest came again, Zheng Gui did not get up, but asked Zheng Zi to take people out and pick up the guest in.

The girls who came today were treated like this, except Ji Xiaotang. After all, Ji Xiaotang has the status of a county lord, and although she rejected Zheng Gui at Deyuelou last time, Zheng Gui still had the same attitude towards her, and it seemed that she had not given up on convincing Ji Xiaotang.

"Who is this guest? Why haven't I heard the princess talk about it before?" Ji Xiaolian asked Zheng Gui with a smile.

Zheng Gui raised his orchid finger and took a sip of fragrant tea. Then he slowly answered Ji Xiaolian's question. The new guest was not originally invited by Zheng Gui.

"At that time, she hadn't entered Beijing yet." The new guest had just arrived in Beijing.

Not only Ji Xiaolian, but also all the girls here were aroused of curiosity.

Who would have been the one who had just come to Beijing and was invited by Zheng Gui to become guests with them? The girls all thought about what big shots had recently brought their families to Beijing.

But obviously, no one came up with any clues.

Zheng Gui's eyes swayed on the girls, especially on Ji Xiaotang's face for the longest time. Everyone was very curious, and Ji Xiaotang also showed a curious look, but it was faint.

This curiosity seemed to be just for the sake of following the crowd, and she didn't really want to know who was coming.

"Although the county lord is young, he is the most self-reliant. Has the county lord guessed the identity of the new guest?" Zheng Gui asked Ji Xiaotang with a smile.

As soon as she asked this, everyone in the room turned their eyes to Ji Xiaotang.

Ji Xiaotang smiled and shook his head.

"How could I know? It's just that the guest will enter the door soon, so why bother guessing riddles about it?" As long as the guest enters the door, everyone will naturally know her identity.

"The county lord is very saying." Zheng Gui smiled, and everyone nodded and agreed.

As he was talking, he heard footsteps at the door. It was Zheng Zi who came back with his people.

The little girl lifted up the curtain. Zheng Zi stepped into the door first, and another beautiful woman in gorgeous clothes followed Zheng Zi and entered the door.

Everyone's eyes couldn't help but look behind Zheng Zi.

Ji Xiaotang's eyes also followed because Zheng Zi was in front. From her perspective, she could only see one side of the beauty, and she felt that she was of medium figure and not very old.

Zheng Zi walked to Zheng Gui, then let go of her body and revealed the beauty behind her.

The beauty bowed to Zheng Gui.

Ji Xiaotang also saw the beauty's appearance clearly.

Although the outfit is very different from usual and the eyebrows and eyes have been carefully described, Ji Xiaotang will not admit his mistake.

The one who came was Gu Xueer, the bride who disappeared a few days ago!

"Ah!" Ji Xiaolian also saw the appearance of the visitor clearly, screamed, and stood up from the chair.

Everyone looked at Ji Xiaolian, and even Zheng Gui turned his eyes.

"What's wrong with Sister Xiaolian?" Zheng Gui asked with a smile, looking at Ji Xiaolian's face, as if she had some insight, "Does Sister Xiaolian recognize our new guest?"

"I, I..." Ji Xiaolian's eyes were circling back and forth between Zheng Gui, Ji Xiaotang and the new beauty, and she didn't know what she was thinking.∮, and she actually said to Ji Xiaotang, "Xiaotang, look, this is not Gu Xueer!"

"Gu Xueer!" Someone repeated these three words, and there was a clear sound of air pumping in the room.

The Ji family did not make any statement about Gu Xueer, but they could not hide it from these people in Beijing's clever and clear-headed nobles.

"Gu Xueer?" Zheng Gui narrowed his eyes slightly, and the smile on his face became stronger, "Sister Xiaotang, do you say that our guest is your cousin, Gu Xueer?"

It was clearly what Ji Xiaolian said, and I don’t know if Zheng Gui did it on purpose, but it was said that it was Ji Xiaotang.

Moreover, Ji Xiaolian was not sure, the person coming was Gu Xueer.

Everyone looked at Ji Xiaotang again, especially Zheng Gui's eyes, which showed a bit sharpness in Yingying's smile, as if they wanted to penetrate Ji Xiaotang's calm appearance and see clearly what she was thinking.

Ji Xiaotang felt everyone's eyes. Gu Xueer's appearance here also surprised her. But the more this happens, the less she cannot reveal it.

So, what everyone saw was still the faint Ji Xiaotang.

"The princess was joking." Ji Xiaotang said lightly, "That was an unfortunate, dead person. It was no longer suitable to mention it on this occasion, let alone the guest would consider her."

"It is even more inappropriate for those who can be invited by the princess to come here. I think the status is valuable. The eldest sister misreads it for a moment, and there is something wrong with it. I would like to ask the princess and this one..."

Ji Xiaotang stood up, meaning to apologize to Zheng Gui and the new guest for Ji Xiaolian. In fact, he was intentional, and wanted to see the expression on Gu Xueer's face further.

Just as Ji Xiaolian called out Gu Xueer's name just now, Ji Xiaotang's eyes were focused on the new customer's face.

Gu Xueer is not good at hiding emotions. Ji Xiaotang believes that she can see the flaws and finally determine whether the person in front of her is the real Gu Xueer or a person who looks very similar to Gu Xueer.

However, the new guest turned his face away at that time and avoided Ji Xiaotang's gaze.

She avoided Ji Xiaotang, and Ji Xiaotang insisted on walking forward.

Ji Xiaotang's words also forced Zheng Gui to introduce the identity of the visitor.

"This is Miss Zhang Lirong, the youngest daughter of the Xuanfu commander Zhang, Miss Zhang. This time she went to Beijing, she made a special trip to the palace to select a female official." Zheng Gui briefly introduced the identity of the visitor.

After March, girls who were selected from various places continued to enter Beijing. The palace specially prepared residences for these girls, but many girls did not live in, but lived in the houses of relatives and friends.

Living in the houses of relatives and friends is naturally more comfortable and convenient, and there is also an extra piece of care. Of course, this piece of care does not only refer to their previous choices about food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Zheng Gui simply introduced Zhang Lirong's identity, but did not mention any words about why he invited Zhang Lirong to visit.

Nowadays, there are many girls coming to Beijing. It is difficult for Zhang Lirong to become a guest of Prince Su's Mansion by relying solely on her identity as her daughter.

Everyone in the room was confused, but they only looked up and down at Zhang Lirong, but it was not easy to ask in person.

"The eldest sister was rude just now, so I would like to ask the princess and Miss Zhang not to be accustomed to it." Ji Xiaotang finished speaking just now and looked at Zheng Gui and Zhang Lirong.

In this case, Zhang Lirong can no longer avoid her and cannot stop talking to her.

Just look at Zhang Lirong's expression and listen to her words, Ji Xiaotang can confirm her identity.¢£,

"No need to guard against things." Zheng Gui smiled.

Ji Xiaotang only looked at Zhang Lirong, "It seems that Miss Zhang is accustomed to it."

"Miss Zhang doesn't think so. Just..." Zheng Gui spoke for Zhang Lirong. Speaking of this, he smiled softly, "It's a pity that Miss Zhang can't tell the county lord in person at this time."

At this time, Zhang Lirong finally turned her head and bent her knees to Ji Xiaotang for a blessing. The expression on her face was a little tense and she didn't speak.

Everyone noticed that Zhang Lirong came in from the door and even when she bowed to Zheng Gui, she never made any noise.

"It's a pity that Miss Zhang was not accustomed to the local environment and was slightly infected with the cold..." Zheng Gui told Ji Xiaotang that Zhang Lirong was injured because of the local environment and cold environment and was unable to speak for the time being.

This is really a coincidence. It is very convenient.

Zhang Lirong couldn't speak, and Ji Xiaotang couldn't force him to ask anything anymore. She just watched Zhang Lirong sitting on the chair on the side, but she sat upright without looking up, and there was no expression on her face.

"It turns out that it's not Gu Xue'er. There is actually someone in the world who looks like Gu Xue'er, who is exactly the same!" Ji Xiaolian said again.

Ji Xiaolian didn't like Gu Xueer and was too lazy to mention it, but today she mentioned Gu Xueer repeatedly. Ji Xiaotang looked at Ji Xiaolian.

Ji Xiaolian seemed to be unaware of it, and asked Ji Xiaotang if she also thought Zhang Lirong and Gu Xueer looked the same.

"In my opinion, it's very different. The eldest sister and her are not familiar with each other. Therefore, it is understandable to admit their mistakes." Ji Xiaotang lightly, but he emphasized the tone of the four words "feelings" and said.

Ji Xiaolian realized something and secretly trembled and started a cold war, but she never mentioned Gu Xueer again.

She didn't mention Gu Xueer, but the curiosity of Zhang Lirong did not decrease at all. She asked tentatively.

Zheng Gui was telling the little girl something, and it was Zheng Zi who answered everyone's questions.

"The third sister's wet nurse's hometown is Xuanfu. Miss Zhang came to Beijing. Lord Zhang beat someone to escort Miss Zhang to Beijing. Unfortunately, Miss Zhang got sick. They were unfamiliar with the place, so they begged to the third sister's wet nurse's wet nurse." Zheng Zi told everyone that it was because of the wet nurse that Zheng Gui took Zhang Lirong into the palace, not only letting people take good care of Zhang Lirong, but also invited famous doctors to treat Zhang Lirong.

Everyone then suddenly realized that if it weren't for the favor of Mrs. Zheng Gui, how could Zhang Lirong have become a guest in Prince Su's Mansion!

Ji Xiaotang couldn't help but smile secretly.

The human favor of the wet nurse is so good! However, this excuse is so clever. It not only explains Zhang Lirong's appearance, but also does not make Zheng Gui and the royal mansion have too much to have a relationship.

Their relationship with Zhang Lirong is far or near.

Zhang Lirong couldn't speak, so she sat in the room for a while, then stood up and said goodbye. Zheng Gui's words, Zhang Lirong's body was not well-behaved, and she had to rest more so that she would not delay the choice of entering the palace.

Zhang Lirong stepped out, but turned her head and glanced at Ji Xiaotang.

That look was very familiar to Ji Xiaotang.

Ji Xiaotang watched Zhang Lirong leave, withdrew her gaze, and then Zheng Gui was looking at her with a smile.

Ji Xiaotang also smiled.

The more interesting things get.

For example, if the opponent's level is too different, although it is easy to win, it is not enough to enjoy it. Only when the opponent meets the opponent and wins the opponent can it be called full of joy.

Ji Xiaotang was a little looking forward to it.

After that, everyone stopped mentioning Zhang Lirong. Even if they were determined to enter the palace, they did not really regard Zhang Lirong as their opponent. Zhang Lirong's appearance and qualifications were placed there. Even if she had the Su Palace and Zheng Gui as her backer, she would not be their opponent.

Moreover, Zheng Gui left Zhang Lirong in Prince Su's mansion, perhaps because he wanted Prince Su to take Zhang Lirong over?

A commander-in-chief is nothing to the noble girls who were born and raised in the capital, but he is also a chief official, and it is definitely a helping King Su.

After sitting for a while, everyone led by Zheng Gui out of the warm pavilion and visited the gardens of the royal palace.

In mid-March, although the flowers are not in spring, the weather has warmed up, and the water in the pond in the garden is wafting. There are pairs of mandarin ducks living in it, and the weeping willows on the shore have been dyed green. At first glance, I feel quite refreshed.

Zheng Gui specially took everyone to look at the flower garden again.
