Chapter 71 This is the hairpin I gave you

Shen Ling did not refuse. He took a piece of wood and carved a hairpin for Gu Nianchu. He sent someone to deliver it to Haitang Garden. The people from Haitang Garden took it to Gu Nianchu to look at it. They said that if he brought it back, it would be too cheap, just as cheap as he was. The eldest lady of the Gu family would not accept it.

Shen Ling felt that his heart was bleeding. In the past five years, whenever he showed the slightest kindness to Gu Nianchu, she would be overjoyed. But now, she actually thought the hairpin he carved for her with his own hands was cheap.

But Shen Ling had no money, so he couldn't afford to buy an expensive hairpin to please the person he urgently needed to please.

Censor Zhang gave face to the Gu family and did not submit a memorial to criticize the Marquis's Mansion.

The emperor has sealed the imperial seal and everyone is preparing for the New Year.

The silver in the Marquis's Mansion was gone, and the last bit of silver was sent to Jingzhao Prefecture. Shen Ling delivered it personally, and then he begged Song Tixing humbly, saying that he would not look for his concubine anymore if he could not find her.

Song Tixing asked him to write a receipt in person, took the money, and politely sent him out.

Song Sisi and Zhang Yu made an appointment with Gu Nianchu to go shopping, and Song Sisi told Gu Nianchu about this matter. Gu Nianchu felt a little regretful: "Hey, I was thinking that our prince liked Aunt Xu so much, and he wanted to find her back."

Song Sisi chuckled and said, "My father said that it is the duty of Jingzhao Prefecture to find someone, so of course they have to find someone. It's New Year's Eve now, and if they keep looking for someone and disturb Aunt Xu from celebrating the New Year, it would be a sin."

Gu Nianchu thanked him: "Sisi, thank Lord Song for me."

"Yu'er, and Lord Zhang."

Gu Nianchu poured wine for the two girls: "This is plum blossom snow, the alcohol content is not high, the two sisters just drink a glass, you won't get drunk."

Song Sisi and Zhang Yu did not refuse: "Sister Gu, please."

They now like playing with Gu Nianchu very much. Gu Nianchu knows a lot of things, and any thing he teaches them can benefit them a lot.

Their parents at home were also happy to see them becoming good friends with Gu Nianchu.

Gu Nianchu took the two girls to Qibaozhai and gave them two sets of expensive jewelry, not allowing them to refuse.

"This is the bond between us sisters. If you don't want it, then you don't consider me as your own sister."

Gu Nianchu spoke very seriously, and Song Sisi and Zhang Yu had no choice but to accept it.

Gu Nianchu also gave Mrs. Song and Mrs. Zhang a set of jade headpieces. When the two wanted to refuse, Gu Nianchu said that this was her gift to her elders and could not be refused.

Song Sisi and Zhang Yu understood that Gu Nianchu was thanking them for their help, so they accepted the gifts and gave them to their mother when they got home. Madam Zhang and Madam Song then sent gifts in return.

Gu Nianchu asked people to send New Year gifts to her relatives and friends, and she also did not forget to send a generous gift to the King of Qi. Soon the King of Qi sent her a return gift.

Gu Nianchu was stunned as he looked at the two large boxes piled in front of him.

Han Chan opened the box and asked Gu Nianchu to check it: "Miss, this is a return gift from His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi."

The boxes were filled with rare items, many of which came from the sea and were rarely seen in the entire Great Zhou.

"His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi said that these things are not worth much money, so I just gave them to you, young lady, to play with. Please don't despise them."

Aunt Tian and the others nearby almost popped their eyes out.

This dazzling array of gadgets are the most popular new things in Kyoto City. They are novel things that you may not be able to get even if you have money.

Now, in the words of His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi, this is just a casual way for their young lady to entertain herself.

"Miss, His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi also picked out a box of toys suitable for children and sent it to Qingshan Academy for Master Chang Huan to play with."

Han Chan's words brought a smile to Gu Nianchu's face. She also sent people to send a lot of new and interesting toys to Chang Huan to play with, as she missed Chang Huan very much.

But now she couldn't go to see Chang Huan. It was all the fault of the Marquis' Mansion. She blamed all of it on the people in the Marquis' Mansion. Since it was Shen Ling who prevented her from going to see Chang Huan right away, let Shen Ling pay a price.

Gu Nianchu ordered people to do things.

In the evening, an uninvited guest came to Begonia Garden.

Your Royal Highness, the Prince of Qi.

"Your Highness, how did you get to me?"

Gu Nianchu looked at the cold and hard man sitting in her main living room, and she felt a little uncomfortable.

Zhou Yuchen looked dissatisfied: "Nianchu, I haven't seen you for a long time."

They met hastily at the blind date party held by the Shen family, and they didn't even say a few words in private.

Gu Nianchu was somewhat helpless: "Your Highness!"

Zhou Yuchen waved his hands repeatedly: "Okay, okay, I won't say anything more, don't nag me, I just have some thoughts, let me ask you a question, when are you going to divorce Shen Ling?"

Now that Shen Ling's reputation is so bad, why is his wife Nian Chu still unwilling to divorce him?

"Your Highness, Prince of Qi, be careful with your words! If the censors knew that you were encouraging me to divorce, the Emperor would not be able to stop you."

Gu Nianchu's words made Zhou Yuchen's mouth curl up: "Nianchu, are you worried that my father will scold me?"

With a little joy.

Gu Nianchu said sternly, "Your Highness, even if Shen Ling and I divorce, I will never have any relationship with Your Highness. You are the dignified Prince Qi, how could you possibly marry a divorced woman?"

Zhou Yuchen immediately became unhappy: "Nianchu, I said it was my business, why are you rejecting me so much? Who I marry is my own business."

Well, you are the honorable Prince Qi, you have the final say.

Gu Nianchu couldn't afford to offend Zhou Yuchen, so she could only accompany him to drink tea.

Later, Zhou Yuchen told her not to drink tea: "Don't drink tea. Drinking tea will make you sleep restlessly at night!"

Gu Nianchu was shocked and stared at Zhou Yuchen in surprise.

Zhou Yuchen felt a little guilty when he saw her expression: "Don't stare at me with such a horrified look. I heard it from Han Chan. I didn't come to see you sleep at night!"

The servants around couldn't help but twitch their lips when they heard this. Your Highness the Prince of Qi, what kind of lewd words are you saying!
Fortunately, not even a fly can fly into the young lady's yard now.

Zhou Yuchen shyly took out a jade hairpin with simple carving from his bosom. It was a simple plum blossom hairpin, and with just a few strokes, the purity of the plum blossom was depicted.

"Nianchu, this is something I learned to carve. I'm giving it to you to play with."

Gu Nianchu took it and started playing with it: "Well, not bad, not bad, the painting is very good, and the jade is also top-quality jade. Your Highness has great craftsmanship."

Gu Nianchu's praise made Zhou Yuchen lively: "I just made it for fun. I don't want it to be wasted, so I'll give it to you."

When he said this, there were stars in the man's eyes.

Gu Nianchu inserted it into her hair and said, "Thank you, Your Highness. I like it very much."

Zhou Yuchen was very happy when he saw Gu Nianchu wearing the hairpin he gave her: "I knew Nianchu liked the hairpin I gave her. I haven't given you a hairpin in five years."
