Chapter 758 Everyone Draws Turtles Together!

n's laughter from inside the house and the old woman's vigorous voice. All three of them let out a long sigh of relief...Three days had passed in the blink of an eye, and Mr. Wen was about to go to co...At this time, the guide from the Gu family shouted loudly, "The Honorable Princess Kang Le has arrived!"

In the house, everyone stopped talking and stood up at once.

Jia Yin walked in with a smile on her face, just right. After nodding to everyone, she bowed to Old Madam Gu and Dean Gu as a junior.

Last year, Mrs. Wen came to visit with Jia Yin.

Mrs. Gu was smiling and taking Jia Yin's hand, saying: "It's been a long time, Princess. You've become even more beautiful."

"The little girl is so young and her clothes are so bright, even I, an old woman, feel happy looking at her."

Jia Yin coaxed the old woman with such skill that she was considered the best in the world. Smiling, she said, "Madam, you flatter me too much! If we're talking about beauty, fifty years ago, surely no one dared to compete with you!"

"Even now, your skin only has a few wrinkles and your eyebrows are still dark. It's clear that you must have been incredibly stunning in your youth!"

As expected, Madam Gu laughed heartily and waved her hand, saying, “Even when we were young, we are old now.”

The other ladies chimed in as well. One, who was likely Old Madam Gu’s niece, said, “My aunt was the most talented young woman in Kyoto back in her day. She was renowned for both her poetry and painting.”

Someone immediately chimed in, "Aha, no wonder! The Dean must have learned the true teachings from the old madam!"

In a few moments, Old Mrs. Gu and Dean Gu became the center of everyone's attention again.

Mrs. Gu, fearing she might neglect Jiayin, pointed to the peaches on the table and said, “Just now everyone was praising how delicious these peaches are. Thanks to the county princess’s grace, we have this treat!”

Jia Yin smiled and said, “The old lady likes it then. This is a fruit sapling that our family’s merchant team found back from the south. I planted it in the greenhouse and nurtured it for two years before it bore fruit, and there are only a hundred or so.”

So, this time I only respectfully presented an old basket to the grandmother.

"When I figure out a good way, I'll definitely send two trees to the old lady. Fruit trees are not hard to take care of."

Thus, the old lady stood under the tree, able to pick and eat fresh fruit at any time.

"Haha, that's wonderful! I've lived my whole life and never tasted a peach before, let alone one this delicious!" Old Madam Gu chuckled, her eyes crinkling at the corners.

After some casual chat, Madam Gu called her maid over and said to Jia Yin, "Miss, you've finally come once. Don't stay with this old woman. Go to the garden and play with Qingqing and the others. Come visit more often when you have free time."

"Alright, Grandmother, next time I'll bring the softest and sweetest pastries from Baiyun Pavilion to show my respect to you!"

Jia Yin smiled and got up, bowed again, then walked out.

Everyone in the room couldn't help but continue talking. Someone said, "This is the first time I've met the county princess. I didn't expect her to be such a beautiful and generous young lady."

"Indeed, I see that the Countess's skirt is made of Qixia silk, a tribute. I hear there are only three bolts sent into the palace. Has the Countess received one"

"And the princess's jeweled gold crown, that was also crafted by the skilled artisans of the inner palace."

The rest also agreed, their expressions filled with envy.

Of course, some people can't help but feel a pang of nostalgia.

A woman in a lotus-green outer robe, with a somewhat sharp expression on her face, whispered: "A girl from a peasant family, having gained the favor of a noble person, is now enjoying such splendor."

"However, looking like this, it wasn't a waste of all these good materials and fine jewelry."

The companion sitting beside her, dressed in a pale pink gown, seemed quite amiable and smiled, "There are plenty of girls from farming families, but few are as fortunate as the County Princess."

The headmaster, sitting opposite them, glanced at the two women and changed the subject...

Jiao Yin walked along with Mrs. Gu's personal maidservant towards the garden, casually chatting a few words. In the end, she signaled Shui Ling to hand the maidservant a purse, coaxing the woman back with laughter.

Several young girls were sitting in the pavilion in the garden, while a dozen or so others were admiring the flowers and chasing butterflies around it, making quite a lively scene.

Baozhu was bored and idly munching on snacks when she saw Jiayin approaching from afar, so she quickly ran over to greet her.

"Sister Jia Yin, how did you get here I thought you had forgotten today's flower viewing party!"

"How could I forget I just don't want you, I still miss Gu elder sister!" Jia Yin laughed and looked at Gu Qingqing who came running after.

Gu Qingqing covered her mouth with a handkerchief and laughed, playfully rebuking, "Princess, you're such a smooth talker. It feels like three or four months have passed since we last saw each other."

"Thinking back to the last time we met, it was still amidst the clouds, and you gave me a packet of flower seeds!"

"Yeah, I was also thinking about coming today to see how those hundred-day flowers are doing." Jiayin linked arms with Gu Qingqing, very close.

Two years ago, because of the matter of Rongfei Cream, the Gu family was very grateful to Jia Yin. Afterward, they intended to introduce Gu Qingqing and Jia Yin through Mrs. Wen.

The two slowly became familiar with each other, occasionally exchanging things like embroidery patterns or flower seeds.

Gu Qingqing also liked Jia Yin's liveliness and honesty. She was easier to get along with than other noble ladies and more compatible in temperament.

So, she introduced Jiayin to her friends...

Now, Jiayin is a familiar face in the circle of noble ladies in Kyoto. She also has three or five close and beloved little sisters, all thanks to Gu Qingqing.

As expected, as soon as the three entered the gazebo, two other girls also began to smile.

"My lady, you are indeed late today!"

“That’s right, without the County Princess, it’s boring for us to get together. We just wait for the County Princess to bring us some fresh games!”

These two girls are both good friends of Gu Qingqing.

There was a girl named Mei Lan, who was thirteen years old.

There is a girl named Xu Xi, who is fourteen years old.

Their fathers all held government positions, though not high-ranking ones, but they were in active service.

Therefore, they were not arrogant and, because their family was well-off, they were generous and not petty in their dealings.

Jia Yin also liked them very much, hearing this she laughed, “I knew Sister Mei and Sister Xu would say that, so I was prepared!”

As she spoke, she instructed He Ma Ma to find a place for tea and rest. She only called Shui Ling over and offered her a deck of cards.

Grandma He curtsied and then laughed as she walked away.

Today, at this flower-viewing banquet, many maidservants from various families have come. When they gather together, you can hear a lot of gossip.

She listened for a few moments, wondering when it might come in handy.

A good servant doesn't just serve their master with diligence, but also acts as the master's other ear and eye...

Jia Yin took the cards and then let Baozhu, Gu Qingqing, Meilan, and Xu Xi sit at a table.

Jia Yin explained the rules in detail, then directed the four players to begin their Turtle War.

The cards are novel, and the gameplay of drawing turtles is also simple.

The only unexpected thing is that, after each round, the losing person has to stick a note on their face.

All the little girls love to be pretty, who would ruin their makeup today

Therefore, the four of them took out all their skills and fought seriously.

She was so excited about the treasure that she couldn't even be bothered to eat her snack.

The other girls admiring the flowers and butterflies also heard the commotion and came forward to join in the fun.

Jiayin, with a mischievous grin, helped cut the paper strips. Wickedly, she cut them wide and long.

Thus, in less than half an hour, the unlucky Xu Xi had her entire face plastered with notes.

You can't even tell what she looks like here, she's practically a piece of paper come to life!asually. 。No, a carriage arrived at the door again. Even Jia Erfu came to beg for mercy. 。Seeing the menu on the table, she burst into laughter and took out three from her bosom, placing them there...
