The county magistrate's daughter only wants to farm

Two days later, at Ningde Marquis Mansion.

Yang brought Gu Yin and her two sisters to Ningde Marquis' Mansion. As soon as they entered the gate, they ran into a group of ladies rushing out.

"Greetings, Madam Marquis!" Yang hurriedly led Gu Yin and the other two to pay their respects.

The wife of Ningde Marquis was wearing a dark blue dress and a red gold headdress. She stopped and raised a polite smile. She nodded and said, "Mrs. Gu is here. It's a good opportunity for her to welcome the princess with us."

Gu Yin followed them out again, only to see that the Ningde Marquis’s wife, who had a calm expression just now, raised her lips and said excitedly, “The Princess is here, please come in quickly.”

The Princess looked to be around forty or fifty years old. She wore a crimson brocade dress with intricate patterns embroidered on it, and a gorgeous gold and jade hairpin on her head, all of which revealed her noble status.

"This princess just wanted to join in the fun, thank you for coming out to greet me." Princess Yubai adjusted the hairpin on her head and smiled.

"What are you talking about, Princess? It's a blessing for us ladies to have you here." Ningde Marquis's wife was in high spirits. After she finished speaking, she turned her head and said to the ladies, "Don't you agree?"

Gu Yin turned a deaf ear to the flattery. When she saw the beautiful woman standing next to the Princess, she couldn't help but take a second look at her. Unexpectedly, she saw an unfriendly look in her eyes.

Gu Yin didn't understand the reason and didn't want to dwell on it. She glanced at her as if nothing had happened, and then saw Ning Xue behind the Princess. She raised her eyebrows, thinking she had run into an acquaintance.

Gu Qin, who was standing beside her, noticed that Fourth Sister was acting strangely, so he leaned over to her ear and asked, "Fourth Sister, do you know Ning Xue?"

"Not familiar." Gu Yin opened her red lips slightly.

Gu Qin breathed a sigh of relief and complained, "That's good. Fourth sister, you must not get too close to her."

"what happened?"

"I can't describe the feeling, but I just feel that there are few good people around her. And the girl who spoke up for her ended up being accused of the crime for her. Don't you think it's weird?"

Gu Yin moved closer to Gu Qin, winked and said, "It's not weird at all, she's just being a green tea girl."

"Green tea? What does this have to do with tea?" Gu Qin looked puzzled.

"Because, people like her may look fresh and elegant, but they are actually full of bad intentions. They often like to use others as stepping stones to elevate themselves, and the people who are always around them are the easiest to attack."

Just as the two were mumbling, Gu Yue suddenly nudged them with his elbow and reminded them calmly, "Stop talking, it's time to go in."

The two looked up and found that the Princess and the others had already gone in.

The two sisters quickly restrained their expressions, stood up straight, and followed the crowd inside.

Unexpectedly, a sneer of contempt suddenly came from the side, "Humph, it really is from a small place, something not worthy of being on the table!"

Gu Yin looked in the direction of the voice, and coincidentally, it was another familiar face, Xie Ling.

In order to avoid being confused, Gu Yin turned around and looked around, then looked directly into Xie Ling's eyes and asked, "Are you talking about me?"

Xie Ling raised his chin, pointed his nose at Gu Yin, and said in a sarcastic tone, "Except for you, everyone here comes from a wealthy family."

"I see. You are like a fat chicken, presentable." Gu Yin nodded in agreement, then turned around and asked Gu Qin, "Third sister, do you like eating chicken?"

Gu Qin suppressed a smile and nodded.

"I'm glad you like it. I'll go home and make it for you. I know many ways to cook chicken." Gu Yin counted on her fingers and listed them one by one, "Beggar's chicken, hand-shredded chicken, salt-baked chicken, soy sauce chicken, braised chicken."

"However, the most delicious thing is fried chicken. The chicken is marinated and fried in oil. Wow, it is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with juice flowing out. The taste is really amazing..."

Gu Qin was originally acting with Gu Yin, but after hearing her description, he immediately started drooling and asked with shining eyes, "Really?"

Gu Yin nodded proudly, and did not forget to look at Xie Ling provocatively, "But forget about the chicken that's too fat. It's too greasy and not presentable."

Xie Ling knew very well that Gu Yin was referring to her, and her face turned red with anger. If her companion hadn't held her back, she would have gone forward and tore Gu Yin to pieces.

"Forget it, Ning Xue has already gone in, let's go in too."

Xie Ling was then reluctantly dragged in by his companions.

Leaving now?

Gu Qin was amazed by what he saw and silently gave Gu Yin a thumbs up.

By the time they reached the lotus pond, the place for flower viewing, the wife of Ningde Marquis, the Princess of the County and others were already sitting in the middle of the largest pavilion, chatting and laughing.

Ning Xue was wearing a flowing white dress and serving tea, which won her praise from the Princess and the Marquis's wife, and attracted envious glances from the other noble ladies.

Gu Yin just felt that they were just watching a monkey show, so she shifted her gaze to the lotus pond behind them.

The lotus pond occupies a large area in the yard. The lotus leaves in the pond are densely packed and cover the entire surface of the water. The lotus flowers on the green lotus leaves are either in bud or in full bloom, which is a rare beautiful sight in the yard.

"Sisters, the lotus flowers in this garden are in full bloom today. We cannot let this beautiful scenery go to waste. Why not recite a poem as a souvenir?" A clear voice reached everyone's ears.

Gu Yin looked at the woman who was speaking. On the way in, Gu Yin had already learned that she was actually the daughter of the Princess of the County, named Yun Ruoli.

Gu Yin didn’t know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that Yun Ruoli’s gaze was on her intentionally or unintentionally.

"Miss Yun's suggestion is great. It allows us to enjoy the beautiful scenery and show off our poetic talents. It is indeed a great thing." Xie Ling was the first to agree. He glanced at Gu Yin vaguely, covered his mouth and smiled maliciously, "But I'm afraid some people will be embarrassed."

"Lingling, please stop saying that." Ning Xue deliberately explained, "Although Miss Gu has just come to the capital from a small county, I heard that she is very talented. How can she be embarrassed?"

After hearing this, Gu Yin rolled her eyes to the sky. Did she dig up their ancestral grave?

Why do you always have to pick on her?

"Oh? Miss Gu is so talented, why don't you sing a song first to give the sisters a good start." Yun Ruoli said in a tone that seemed like a suggestion but was actually an order.

"I'm sorry to make you all laugh, but I can't write poetry." Gu Yin raised the corner of her mouth and refused.

"What about writing lyrics? If you can't write poetry, you can write a lyric."

"Sorry, no."

"If you don't know how to write poetry, how about playing the zither?" Yun Ruoli stared at Gu Yin, "Miss Gu, don't you know how to play the zither, chess, calligraphy, or painting?"

"There are so many sisters here, why is Miss Yun staring at me?" Gu Yin was puzzled. When did she become an enemy with her? Why was she chasing her like a mad dog?

"Miss Gu, you're joking. I just heard that Miss Gu is extremely talented and has an extraordinary temperament. Even our Prince, the God of War, is obsessed with her. So I'd like to take this opportunity to let all the sisters get to know her..." Yun Ruoli said with a smile on her lips, slowly raising her eyelids.

It turned out to be because of Jun Lan, Gu Yin suddenly realized.

"That's sorry to disappoint all you sisters. I'm not good at poetry, songs, music, chess, calligraphy or painting, so I won't embarrass myself here." Gu Yin spread her hands and said.

Yun Ruoli's punch was like hitting cotton. She felt very frustrated. Her originally calm face suddenly turned cold. She stared at Gu Yin and asked, "Miss Gu, are you afraid to compete?"

"Don't dare what? Do you dare to compete with me?"

At this moment, a clear voice suddenly came from outside the pavilion.
