Ge Yin, who was next to him, also said: "This is what the old lady asked the slave to take with her when she left with the princess. She said that celebrating the princess's birthday outside would be fine, but birthday gifts at home cannot be spared."
Ging Guo took it slowly, rubbing the box with her fingertips for a while without saying anything.
She was unfilial in this life.
There were too many distracting thoughts in her mind and too many things she wanted to do. It was impossible for her to wait peacefully in the backyard to be married.
Ging Guo opened the gift prepared by the old lady. Lying inside was a golden Buddha pendant. The golden Buddha smiled peacefully, as if he understood the sufferings of all living things.
Ging Guo does not believe in Buddhism, but the old lady firmly believes in it.
Bai Guo still put the Buddha pendant in the box, "Put it away."
She didn't believe it, and there was no use wearing it.
Ge Yin closed the box and took two steps back with the box.
Yu Lan handed the box to Ging Guo, who took it and opened it, revealing a shining dagger inside.
The dagger is bladed on one side, and the cold light can be seen. There is no decoration on the handle. It is clean and is definitely the easiest to hold.
Ging Guo laughed, with a touch of heartache still in his smile.
Although her mother gave her the people around her, she was still worried about her safety and what would happen to her.
Ten years did not make her mother alienated from her, nor did her mother remain silent in guilt and self-blame.
Her mother had the courage to let her bird fly, and did not let her keep her company just because the bird had just come back.
Ging Guo put away the dagger, along with all his emotions.
When he raised his eyes, his eyes were as indifferent as before, "Let's go out."
Seeing that Bai Guo didn't want to cry, Yulan paused for a moment before preparing to leave with Ge Yin. At this time, there was a knock on the door and a deep and thick voice with an inquiring voice called "Miss."
"Come in." Bai Guo said this naturally, and even Ge Yin and Yu Lan found it a little strange.
It's getting dark outside now, why can't I come in now tomorrow?
Pang Yang stood at the door, hanging in his hand under his sleeve was a jade-carved flying phoenix hairpin.
The exquisite and dexterous workmanship of the hairpin can be seen, and the attention to detail is equally visible.
Pang Yang was silent for a moment after hearing the reply. He knew that there were more than just ginkgo in the house.
"Miss Third, Pang Yang has prepared a birthday gift. Miss Third, just ask someone to take it in."
Yu Lan in the room felt normal after hearing this, and walked briskly to the door.
Ge Yin looked at Bai Guo.
After working by boat and car all the way, the first thing Ging Guo did when he arrived at the inn was to take a shower, so now Ging Guo was only wearing an undershirt, and even his hair was not tied up.
But the princess of her family actually let a foreigner in so calmly...
Ge Yin looked at Yulan who had come back from taking something. There was a small box in Yulan's hand.
The doubts in Ge Yin's heart deepened even more.
Pang Yang is not the princess's biological brother, so why should he prepare gifts?
Yu Lan handed the box to Ging Guo, who took it and opened it. Inside was a crystal clear jade pendant, but there was no pattern on it.
Bai Guo laughed, "Brother Pang Yang gave me the jade material and asked me to find someone to carve it myself?"
Pang Yang, who was outside the door, was quiet for a moment before replying: "I don't know what pattern Third Miss likes, so I didn't let anyone carve it."
Bai Guo took out the jade pendant and placed it on the table. Yu Lan knew from Bai Guo's actions that she was going to wear it tomorrow.
"That's it, it looks unique." Gingo closed the box and saw eight words engraved on it: longevity and good luck.
Long life was a blessing that all her relatives would give her before she entered the palace. After she came out of the palace, no one would give her such a blessing. ..
And if everything goes well, no one would send her such blessings. After all, everyone felt that she was a princess who was not of royal blood, and she was favored by the emperor. What else could she not do? satisfied?
But actually there is.
There are still many things she is dissatisfied with.
Bai Guo looked at these four words and said to Pang Yang outside: "Brother Pang Yang really understands me."
Understand that she is not indifferent to worldly affairs on the surface.
She is an ordinary person.
Pang Yang's heartbeat skipped two beats outside the door.
At that moment, he thought that his mind had been seen through. After hearing what Bai Guo said clearly, his heartbeat stabilized, but his heart was sour, and in the end he could only reply in the question: "Miss Third, it's fine if she likes it. "
As long as the third lady likes it.
Finally, when Bai Guo asked him to go back to rest, Pang Yang returned to his room. In his extended hand was the flying phoenix hairpin that had not been given away.
Fei Feng, a bird of honor.
Phoenix Nirvana, immortal body.
This is what is truly desirable.
Pang Yang put the hairpin back into his sleeve.
But it is also inappropriate when it suits your heart.
He has no identity as a hairpin giver.
That's why he prepared the jade again.
Pang Yang closed his eyes.
Thinking about some things clearly was as painful as pulling his bones out.
The convoy walked for another four days and entered Shizai State.
Shizaizhou is a state with military garrison like Fengzhou and Jinlin Prefecture. Moreover, Shizaizhou is to the west of the dividing line between Hongliang Kingdom and Yifeng Kingdom. Half of it can see Hongliang Kingdom and half of it can see Yifeng Kingdom. Endless plain.
Gingguo traveled around several prosperous counties, buying and decorating shops and recruiting doctors in one go.
And because the news about Qizhou came out, all states and counties are now very peaceful.
Gingguo stayed here for four days and could clearly feel the peace and tranquility here.
So in the next step, Ginguo bought 4,000 good horses, and exchanged the furs shipped from Lezhou for 1,000 horses. After handling the things, Ginguo had people take them back to Fengzhou.
After all, it was a state with a governor. Bai Guo didn't want to cause trouble, let alone stay for a long time. After confirming that Jian Xiu handled the situation well here, Bai Guo left directly along Lehua State.
On August 14th, we officially entered the land of Lehua Prefecture.
Lehua Prefecture is not to the south of Shizai Prefecture, but directly west of Shizai Prefecture, and Yining Prefecture, which has waterways, is also due west of Lehua Prefecture.
There are no waterways in Lehua Prefecture, and it is blocked by Shizai Prefecture and has no way to trade with Hongliang State. It also does not have Huizhou, Jinning Prefecture, Yining Prefecture, Fengzhou and other prosperous areas in the center, so it can be said that it is It is the poorest state in the surrounding area, but it is better than Linghu State.
Bai Guo saw that Ge Yin's face was starting to look bad after being on the road for a long time, so he took the opportunity to let everyone rest in Xinfeng County for two days, which also gave everyone who had been away for several months time to celebrate the festival and have fun.
On August 15th, Yulan and Ge Yin happily toured the county and bought back a lot of fruits, vegetables and moon cakes. They borrowed the inn's kitchen and cooked a table full of dishes.
Yu Lan moved the table to the yard again and asked Ging Guo to go out and enjoy the moon.
Baiguo saw that the two of them were in good spirits, so the three of them sat down together and drank a lot of the inn's fruit wine.
Ge Yin had never had a drink, and he didn't know that there was such a thing as stamina. When he realized what he was doing, he was already lying on the table.
Yu Lan laughed hard, but she also reached her limit.
At this time, Ging Guo was almost finished. After rinsing her mouth, she said: "Hel her back and rest early."
Yulan's eyes had no focus, and when she looked at the ginkgo, she seemed to be looking at other things through the ginkgo. She was stupid and didn't react at all.
Ging Guo also laughed at Magnolia at this time.
How dare you laugh at others because you are not a good drinker?
After laughing enough, Bai Guo also shouted without complaint: "An Jie, An Chuang, send these two back."
Ansuke glanced at the two of them, then at Anchuang, and finally picked up Yulan and left first.
An Chuang paused and looked at Ging Guo, but all he saw was Ging Guo's head hanging down as he rubbed his forehead in discomfort.
An Chuang didn't dare to say it, picked up Ge Yin and left.
Ging Guo sat at the table and looked at the moon.
The moon on the fifteenth day is not very round, but it must be very clear.
The waiter in the inn came up to pack things and brought new fruits and moon cakes, but his eyes kept looking at the unguarded ginkgo.
"Sir, would you like to rest in your room?" the waiter asked Ging Guo.
Ging Guo shook her head, she wanted to sober up.
I don't know if it's because she hasn't had too much alcohol in her body or because she hasn't drank for a long time. She's not drunk, but her head hurts a little.
Pang Yang didn't make much noise when he came over, but Xiao Er immediately realized that he seemed to be stared at by a ferocious beast, or that a ferocious beast hiding in the dark finally came out.
The waiter turned around and saw a person walking towards him with the backlight on. He couldn't see his face clearly, but the person was extremely tall and his aura was the first to crush him!
Instinctively, the waiter ran away in a hurry before anyone walked in. It was as if he had mistakenly entered the territory of a tiger, which made people frightened.
Pang Yang was not looking at the waiter, but at Ging Guo who was sitting on the stone chair, "Miss Third, go back and rest."
Ging Guo said "hmm" but didn't move. The hand supporting her forehead was still rubbing her temples.
Pang Yang paused and stepped forward to block Ye Feng, but he was not very close to Ging Guo.
With his eyes closed, Ging Guo felt uncomfortable and smelled the bitter medicinal smell that he had smelled before.
In the past, Gingguo relied on the smell of medicine to confirm whether Pang Yang had quietly come to her side again. Now she smells the smell of medicine to know how close people are to her.
It was a little closer to her than Yu Lan and Ge Yin.
Gingguo felt at a safe distance.
She was so relieved that Ging Guo didn't know why she fell asleep. She vaguely heard someone calling her. Ging Guo opened her eyes very hard and looked over. It was Pang Yang.
"It's late at night, go back to your room and sleep, miss." Pang Yang was still standing half an arm's length in front of Gingo, but his palm was holding Gingo's temple back.
It was the hand Pang Yang stretched out just now when Ging Guo almost hit the stone table.
Bai Guo's eyes were open, but they were not very awake. There was a look of confusion in both eyes, as if he didn't know what was going on.
