The husband who forced her to marry her couldn't keep her warm, and she didn't want him to

Gu Jinchu met everyone's gaze, neither arrogant nor impatient:

"It is indeed double-sided embroidery. I saw it on the only copy I got. I am still in the practice stage. Maybe it is because of Madam's help that I have made no progress in a month, but today I can embroider a rough shape."

Mrs. Song couldn't let go of the embroidery frame. She looked at Gu Jinchu and asked, "Is what Miss Gu San just said true?"

There was absolutely no intention of returning the embroidery frame to Gu Jinchu.

I have only heard of double-sided embroidery, but each piece can be considered a unique piece.

Gu Jinchu nodded and replied, "I only embroidered a small part because of the short time. It is enough to make a round fan. It is a blessing for it to be liked by the lady."

Mrs. Song was already old enough to be a grandmother. She held Gu Jinchu's hand and discussed with her what style of fan ribs to use.

By the time the two of them had finalized it, it was time for everyone to leave.

Mrs. Song greeted Zheng, and her attitude was much better than when they first arrived. "Mrs. Gu, if I was neglected today, please don't take it to heart."

Gu Jinchu intentionally distanced herself from everyone else. In her previous life, the Gu family did not receive an invitation from the Song family, and there was no eldest princess to rescue her.

The eldest princess' mother is the legitimate daughter of Duke Dingguo.

In her previous life, she was married to Jiang Nansheng, and was considered the eldest princess' aunt, but they did not have much contact.

Zhao Xuan looked at the master and servant in front of her, and looked at the man beside her in a flattering way:

"Uncle, am I here just in time? We agreed that you should have Jiang Fei deliver grandpa's bow to the princess's mansion."

After saying this, she felt somewhat guilty. Even if she didn't come, it seemed that the girl wouldn't be troubled.

Seeing that my uncle didn't say anything, I ran past him.

Bai Shao was still a little frightened at this time, "I was really scared today, the Fourth Miss and the Fifth Miss were too much!"

"Have you been blinded by greed? It's fine if you're willful at home, but... thanks to the eldest princess, otherwise who knows how they would embarrass you. You're going to be a marriageable girl soon, what if it affects your future marriage..."

Gu Jinchu had no expectations for marriage in this life, nor did she want to get married too early.

Although her reputation was reversed by these two disturbances, the whip at least gave her peace for a while.

"I'll thank the princess when I have the chance. Mother and the others are waiting in front."

"Are you looking for me?" A light voice came from behind, followed by the sound of footsteps.

Gu Jinchu and his servant were startled and turned around to see a princess in red walking towards them.

The gem pendant on her forehead swayed slightly, shining brightly in the sunlight, but it was far less bright than the smile on her face.

Gu Jinchu didn’t understand how such a vibrant girl, who was also the eldest princess of the dynasty, could be trapped in love in her previous life and die of depression because she couldn’t get what she wanted.

Zhao Xuan came to Gu Jinchu's side with a smile on her face, "Sister Gu, we meet again."

Gu Jinchu bowed and said, "Princess, you are so kind. I didn't have time to thank you for helping me out just now."

Zhao Xuan glanced back without leaving any trace, "I see that you are not a pedantic person, and I feel that I have a good relationship with you."

"I just heard this little maid talking about marriage. How come the little sister of the Gu family is already engaged?"

Gu Jinchu saw a sky-blue skirt flashing by not far away, retracted his gaze and smiled, "No, it's this little maid who is worrying too much."

The princess seemed to be interested and asked:

"Gu's sister is at an age when she is just beginning to fall in love. She just embroidered a poem on her work. Does she prefer a man who is knowledgeable and talented?"

The eldest princess stopped and did not leave. Since Gu Jinchu was the one who had done her a favor, he stayed by her side.

He really thought about it seriously before answering, "Most people in the world admire those who are talented, and Jin Chu is no exception."

She looked at the plum branch sticking out from a distance, her eyes became distant, and continued:

"Although I was born into an official family, my father held a low position and my mother's family was the lowest class of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans. I certainly don't dare to dream of being from a prestigious family, and I myself yearn for a free and simple life."

Zhao Xuan looked at Gu Jinchu's profile and had the illusion that she saw sadness on her face.

She was very familiar with this expression. All the women in the palace who were looking forward to seeing their father look like this.

Feeling that my question was too general, I asked again, "Then you don't have any expectations for your future husband?"

Gu Jinchu withdrew his gaze from the plum blossoms, sighed and smiled:

"It has always been the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. If I were to choose myself, I wouldn't mind whether he was educated or not."

"He doesn't need to be good-looking, and his family background is not a requirement, but he has to have a good personality, and he can't always keep me guessing. Even if we can't be together for life, he has to be honest enough."

Zhao Xuan: "..."

Did she mean well but end up doing something bad?

"uncle!"

Just as Zhao Xuan was thinking of him, she saw her uncle walking out from behind her, and she screamed in fright.

Gu Jinchu was already prepared to meet Jiang Nansheng. He paused for a moment, and out of the corner of his eye he saw a tall man approaching. He bowed and saluted, "Master Jiang."

The jade pendant on the man's belt flashed before his eyes, and before he could get a good look at it, he walked past.

Jiang Nansheng took a few steps, stood still, and turned to look over.

Gu Jinchu lowered her eyes and looked at the pebbles on the ground. Turning her head or turning around would seem too deliberate, and she didn't want to attract other people's attention.

I also missed the look in the man's eyes, which were filled with confusion and forbearance...

Seeing the servant behind Jiang Nansheng, he was a little confused.

Doesn't Jiang Nansheng dislike sweet things? Why is the boy still holding the box of Xixiangzhai in his hand? You will know the reason after hearing what he said next.

"You're not leaving yet? Don't you want the things anymore?"

The man's expression was still gentle, but Zhao Xuan could still sense her uncle's unhappiness. "Yes, yes!"

Gu Jinchu clasped his index finger on the tip of his finger. His voice was just as beautiful as he remembered.

She had heard his heavy breathing when he was passionate, and there were even better times...

Too many memories came to my mind all at once.

Bai Shao came over and said, "Miss, the princess and the others have left, let's go too, the madam is still waiting for us."

Gu Jinchu looked at the man's tall back and took a deep breath, secretly cursing himself for being so useless.
