"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 looked at the book in her hands. She didn't even glance at the corner of her eyes as she said indifferently, "Put it there. Help me thank your 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. Before she could say anything, Biwan, who was in charge of taking the cloak from the house, walked over. She put the brocade cloak over her shoulders and said in a soft voice, "Miss, it's cool here. Why don't we go inside?"

Gu Jinzhu nodded. Just as Biwan was about to help her up, her eyes caught a glimpse of the orange girl below. She immediately said impolitely, "My young mistress appreciates the gift. Thank you, eldest miss, for your good intentions, but —"

Her voice turned, and with a hint of contempt, she said, "Although oranges are rare, they are not anything extraordinary. Previously, at the State Duke's Mansion, my family's young miss had eaten countless of them, and only those who have never seen the world would take this as a treasure."

"You-!" The girl was immediately angered, her face flushed red. She was about to retort when Gu Jinzhu frowned and interrupted unhappily, "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 and left without even bowing to Gu Jinzhu.

Biwan was so angry that her face turned red. She gritted her teeth and said angrily, "You don't know the rules! I wonder how Eldest Miss is teaching 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 her and Young Master Chen's engagement day, Miss Jinzhu and Young Master Chen's childhood sweetheart. Please attend the banquet tonight, Miss said …"

The 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, I can give you a few first."

She said the last four words in a soft voice. After she finished her sentence, she ignored Biwan who was so angry that she burst into a fit of rage, turned around and left without a second thought.

How could Biwan allow others to be so disrespectful to her young mistress? 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? Biwan's eyes widened in shock. Such a girl who didn't know the rules and didn't know how to respect others. Even if she pulled her back and asked 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 face and gave a slight smile. She only said in a low voice, "Why do you have to make things difficult for this little girl?"

Her eyes were bright like a crystal clear stream, and even Biwan, who was by her side day and night, couldn't help but be stunned, and she couldn't help but say: "Miss, you're really beautiful. That Young Master Chen who unwillingly changed his marriage to Miss Yang was simply blind …"

Before she could finish her words, the light in Jinzhu's eyes quickly dimmed, and the smile faded like a wilted flower.

Biwan panicked and immediately explained anxiously, "Miss, I didn't mean it that way, I meant …"

Jinzhu waved her hand to stop her. With a hint 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.

Biwan bent down to pick up the book. With a glance, she saw the plate of golden orange on the stone table. After a moment of hesitation, she asked, "Miss, then this plate of orange …"

Gu Jinzhu didn't even turn her head as she said in a calm voice, "You and Yun Xiang can divide the spoils."

This was Huai Chu's kumquat! Biwan opened her mouth wide.

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 big miss of the Yang Family said that only the empress of the palace could have such blessings, and was not wrong in the beginning, thinking that it was probably because the Chen Family found some way to get some, such a precious thing, how could the young miss reward them with servants?

Although, although he went back on his words and regretted marrying the Young Miss, there was no need to go against something when it came down to this matter.

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 Biwan's heart, Qi Ran felt a bit more tender towards her young mistress.
