"Huai Chu Gong Citrus, also known as Golden Silk Honey Orange. It is as small as a longan and as thin as a piece of meat. Its juices are as sweet and thick as honey. Our eldest miss said that this is a good dish that only the empress of the palace can eat, so she specially ordered a servant to bring it over for you to try. "

The girl in the long red dress spoke slowly with a smile on her face. Her curved eyebrows were beautiful, but there was also a trace of arrogance on her face.

Gu Jinzhu's gaze was fixed on the book in her hands. She didn't even glance at the corner of her eyes as she indifferently said, "Put it there. Help me thank your young miss."

The girl looked at her unmoved expression, and continued to say: "Young miss has said, this orange is the best time to eat. Our Young Master brought it all the way from Chu Huai City, using eight fast horses to send it to the relay station day and night, to keep it fresh and fresh."

Her tone was particularly harsh on the words "Young Master Ye", and her eyes held a trace of pride.

Gu Jinzhu frowned, but before she could say anything, Bi Meng, the personal servant girl who had taken the cloak from the house, walked over and put the blue silk cloak around her shoulders. She whispered, "Miss, it's cool here, why don't we go inside?"

Gu Jinzhu nodded. Just as Bi Meng was about to help her up, her eyes caught a glimpse of the orange girl below. She immediately said impolitely, "Our Miss understands. Thank you for your kindness, Eldest Miss. But —"

Her voice turned to one of disdain. "Although a kumquat is rare, it isn't anything extraordinary. Previously, when we were at the Duke's Mansion, our young miss had eaten a lot. Only those who have never seen the world would treat it as a treasure."

"You-!" The girl was immediately angered, her face flushed red. She was about to retort when she saw Gu Jinzhu frown and unhappily interrupt, "Enough!"

Her voice wasn't loud, but it carried a sense of majesty. The two little girls immediately went silent.

The girl holding the orange had a face full of anger. Her lips were full of emotion for a long time, but after glancing at the girl indifferently sitting on the tree branch while holding the scroll, she didn't dare to make a sound in the end.

It was early autumn, and the flowers and trees were half withered, the leaves on the tall trees were half yellow and half green, making the blue sky seem brighter and brighter.

Sunlight shone through the dense foliage and fell on the girl under the tree. Her hair, which was as black as ink, was shining like fine satin. She only wore a moon-white floral dress, her sleeves were embroidered with green silk threads to create a half-opened rose bud. Her waist was hooked, and it only seemed to curl up, giving her an indescribably clean and elegant look.

The girl looked at him enviously. This girl was two years younger than her young mistress and was only thirteen or fourteen years old. However, she did not dare to underestimate this noble character of hers.

In comparison, although her young miss was also outstandingly beautiful, her temperament was far worse. No wonder her eldest daughter always suppressed this young miss when it came to everything.

She smiled and said, "Since the things have already been delivered, this servant will not stay any longer. The front yard is overjoyed today, and the young miss will definitely have a lot of helpers. Please enjoy this tangerine."

As she spoke, she turned around without even bowing to Gu Jinzhu.

Bi Feng was so angry that her face turned red, she gritted her teeth and said angrily: "You don't know the rules, I wonder how the young miss taught you!"

Before she could finish her sentence, the little girl who had already walked to the door turned back and said with a laugh: "Oh, right, I almost forgot. Eldest Miss said that today is a good day for her and Young Master Chen's engagement. Miss Jin and Young Master Chen's childhood sweethearts. Please be sure to attend tonight's banquet, young miss also said …"

The little girl swept her eyes over Gu Jinzhu's plain clothes and did not hide the contempt in her eyes as she said, "If Miss Biao does not have suitable clothes, Eldest Miss can give you a few first so that you can have some!"

She bit down on the last two words very softly, and then she turned away, ignoring the fact that she was so angry that she burst into a fit of rage.

How could Bea allow others to be so disrespectful to her young lady? Her beautiful face was livid with anger, and she immediately rushed forward to pull her back.

However, Gu Jinzhu said indifferently, "Forget it."

What? Forget it? Bea's eyes widened. Even if a girl who didn't know the rules were pulled back for her to teach her a lesson, she still wouldn't be able to say anything.

Gu Jinzhu, on the other hand, looked at her pouting mouth and smiled slightly in anger. She only whispered, "Why make things so difficult for this girl?"

With this smile, her delicate eyebrows relaxed, and her pink lips curved slightly. The sunlight shined into her eyes, sparkling like a clear stream, causing even Bi Yao, who was by her side all day and night, to be stunned. She couldn't help but say, "Miss, you're so beautiful. That Young Master Chen was unfaithful to her and married Miss Yang. He's simply blind …"

Before she could finish her sentence, the light in the eyes of the beautiful pearl quickly dimmed. The smile faded from the corner of her mouth, just like a wilted flower.

Bi Xing panicked. She immediately explained anxiously, "Miss, I didn't mean it that way. I meant …"

Jin Zhu waved her hand to stop her. With a faint trace of weariness in her voice, she said, "I'm tired. Help me in." As she spoke, she stood up, and the amulet that she had always loved slipped from her lap.

She quickly bent down to pick up the book. When she caught a glimpse of the golden tangerine on the stone table, she hesitated for a moment before asking, "Miss, this plate of tangerines …"

Gu Jinzhu didn't even turn her head as she calmly said, "You and Yunxiang can share it."

This is Huai Chu's kumquat, said Bea, gaping.

Huai Chuangkong was famous for its tasty, juicy, sweet, and sweet flavors. However, this kind of orange tree only liked wet, cool, and damp. It was only suitable for growing in the climate and humidity of Huai Chu. Its survival rate was extremely low, and almost all of its fruits were sent to the palace.

The young miss of the Yang family said that only the empress of the palace had such blessings. She was not wrong at first, it must be because the Chen family found some way to get these things. How could the young miss reward their servants?

Although, although the Chen family went back on their word and regretted marrying the young miss, but there was no need to go against things when it came down to it.

However, she could only mutter these words in her heart. Even if she didn't know what she was talking about, she wouldn't dare to speak in front of the Miss.

Seeing that the young lady had already entered the room, she quickly picked up the book, but her gaze was startled. On the page where the book was opened, there were only two sentences.

How many hidden meaning, not a word two heart to know.

These were the words that Young Master Chen had said to the Young Miss, but now that the oath was still in place, he turned around and hired someone else.

In her heart, Qi Ran felt some pity for her young mistress.
