83 The 49th Day

Not long later, Madam Leng arrived with Xie Xun.

Xie Xun had caught a cold a few days ago and had only recovered from it. Ever since she was pushed into the water by the Lin Family's servant maid, her health wasn't very good and she caught cold easily. 

Even after raising her body for these few days, she still hadn't been able to recuperate. Xie Zhen's heart ached for her. Originally, she did not want her to come, but she said that she missed the sis and wanted to follow her.

Since Madam Leng couldn't do anything about her, she gave her two additional clothes and brought her to the Grand Secretariat's mansion as a guest.

Once she arrived at backyard, she immediately pounced towards Xie Zhen happily, complaining: "What is sis doing in the palace all day, why aren't you coming to see me?"

Xie Zhen caught her and laughed as she scratched her nose, "Didn't I go to see you the day before yesterday? You forgot in the blink of an eye? "

She thought about it for a moment, and it seemed to be true.

Madam Leng went to the side to talk with Liu Shi, leaving the scene to the girls. Yan Yao'an and Gu Ruyi were the closest to each other, and often visited the Grand Secretariat's mansion as their guests. This was why they knew that the backyard had a piece of Jade Orchid, and would blossom into a pink flower every spring. The Gu family's flowers were different from the others', they had been blooming for a long time, and were not defeated yet.

It was related to how Gu Ruyi was raised.

Yan Yao'an then suggested that they take a look. Coincidentally, there were stone tables and stools under the trees, they could sit under the trees and drink tea and pass the time. When Xie Zhen heard that Gu Ruyi's big brother knew painting, she could not help but be curious to see what kind of talent he had.

Arriving at the Yulan Academy, Gu Ruyi asked the servant maids beside her to go and bring the Gu Clan's Eldest Young Master Gu Ce's painting over.

Very quickly, servant maids returned with two paintings.

Gu Ruyi unfurled in front of them. One picture depicted a water lotus in a pond during summer, and the other depicted the silhouette of Gu Ruyi sitting under a tree. T

he water lily was vivid and lifelike, lazily lying on the surface of the water. The petals were beautiful, and one could even see the droplets of water on it clearly. 

Gu Ruyi who was in the other painting turned her body, and coincidentally blocked the birthmark on the other face. 

The beauty had a smile, and looked gentle and beautiful, as though the person in the painting was right in front of her, and could easily be touched with a single touch.

No wonder Yan Yao'an kept praising Gu Ce's painting skills.

Xie Zhen praised, "It's indeed beautiful ...."

In his own home, with only the few of them in the Yulan Academy, Gu Ruyi took off the veil covering his face, revealing a dark red birthmark beneath his eyes, showing his true appearance. 

At first, she was a little embarrassed, but when she saw that Xie Zhen and Xie Xun's attitude was frank and did not look at her weirdly, she finally felt at ease and gradually relaxed.

Gu Ruyi personally made tea for them, and slowly pushed away the foam on the tea broth, then placed a cup in front of each of them, "This is the Jade Gear Spring that was delivered only this year, try it." 

After she finished speaking, she saw that Xie Xun was still staring at the two paintings, and couldn't help but laugh, "If Seventh Miss likes it, then coincidentally, my brother is home today, I'll have him draw one for you, right?"
