Chapter 51: Embarrassment
Early in the morning, in the aisle outside the gate of Gufu, the sedan chairs and carriages on both sides had already discharged a long queue, from the street to the end of the street.
The mother's family of the second lady and the fourth lady all came to the Gu family in advance, because it was their turn to be outside the house this year.
The third lady and the eldest lady greeted the lord, and there were more people invited this year than last year, and it stands to reason that the Zhao family is also coming to the door today.
Because of the collision between Zhao Muyuan and Gu Anyu, Mrs. Zhao also lost her face to come to the door, and it was Mrs. Erfang and her sister-in-law who came to the young master.
Gu Anning also went to Sanjinmen early as usual, with green glaze with him, Qingzhu and Ning's mother took people to work, because there were many people coming, the manpower in the house was tight, and even if there were more, it was easy to go wrong.
Qingyuan stayed in the courtyard, presumably this will also be puffing out his cheeks and complaining!
The eldest lady and the third lady were close to the girl with her, and they talked politely to those ladies, from asking for warmth to children's family affairs, and looked at each other and smiled under a few words.
This year is the first time for Gu Anning.
"An Ning, why are you still standing here, go over there and take a look, it's really lively. Gu Shiyun looked for a while before she saw Gu Anning.
After listening to her words, I followed the line of sight and saw that the male guests on the left were reciting poems, all of them were young masters from rich and noble families, with outstanding appearances, and there was a sense of nobility between their gestures.
Among them, the man who was laughing with others, Gu Anning also recognized that it was Gu Anqing, the young master of the big house, who was in business with his father, and it was naturally easy to make friends with such things.
"Brother Anqing, do you recognize that girl over there?"
The fan in Xu Zhengyu's hand and the handle of the fan pointed to the two girls standing together, looking at this side.
Gu Anqing looked over and said with a smile. "The younger one is my ninth sister Gu Anning, and the older one is my fourth uncle's third cousin Gu Shiyun. ”
Gu Shiyun saw the man with the paper fan in his hand look over, his face turned slightly red, and he pretended not to be surprised.
Gu Anning sighed lightly and said. "My sister loves to recite poetry on weekdays, and today is a rare opportunity, so you might as well go and take a look. Gu Shiyun had intended to let her be her companion, so why not fulfill her.
"However, there are all men over there, and we are girls, so there is always something wrong. Gu Shiyun and Gu Anning said, Yu Guang looked at the man who had been staring at her, and his face instantly turned red.
Seeing Gu Shiyun, who looked like a spring heart, Gu Anning laughed secretly, and then said. "What's wrong, these young men came over today, didn't they just look at each other, and besides, my sister didn't have a marriage. ”
The sons and buddies who came here naturally have never been married.
"Look at what you said, it's not that you want to get married. Gu Shiyun can make fun of Gu Anning on weekdays, but when she is teased, she is embarrassed.
As she was talking, the eighth girl came over at some point, and quietly pushed Gu Anning and inserted it between the two.
"Cousin, what are you talking about?"
Gu Anchu glanced at Gu Anning as he spoke, Gu Anning stood firm and said. "I went to talk to the ladies. ”
After saying that, she walked away, she didn't forget the second lady's explanation, but she didn't recognize who Mrs. Xu was, and after waiting for a while, Qing Glaze came over and pointed to the pavilion outside the corridor.
"Girl, the ladies sitting in the pavilion are Mrs. Xu, Mrs. Zhao, and Mrs. Lin, the prefect, and the one wearing the gold silk brocade is Mrs. Xu. ”
Nanling is a place where silk brocade is produced, and the Xu family is the first silk home, and the silk of the Xu family is only for the five-grade bureaucrats and the royal family.
Hearing this, Gu Anning walked towards the pavilion, and before she could reach the pavilion, Mrs. Xu stood up and came this way.
So Gu Anning stood where he was, and when people passed by, he saluted. "An Ning has seen Mrs. Xu. ”
Mrs. Xu paused, turned her head to look at Gu Anning who was saluting, and smiled slightly.
"I think you are the peaceful girl next to the second lady!"
The Gu family of the Jiang family and the Xu family of Nanling are very familiar with each other, the Xu family and the Gu family have never married, but the fourth room of the Jiang family is married to the Xu family.
"Thanks to Madame for knowing the peace. Gu Anning's identity is embarrassing, and the second lady is not around, and a girl who has entered the main courtyard goes alone to play with the wife of a large family, which is almost somewhat despised by others.
Mrs. Xu nodded. "I've heard the second lady mention you, do you have something to do?"
Asked by Mrs. Xu, Gu Anning lowered his head and said. "It's not that there's anything wrong, it's just a greeting to Mrs. Xu. As he spoke, he twisted his handkerchief and blushed in embarrassment.
"An Ning, you're here, I've been looking for you for a long time. ”
Jiang Aya suddenly appeared, breaking the embarrassment, and saw Mrs. Xu in a blink of an eye, saluting again. "I've seen Mrs. Xu. ”
"It turned out to be Miss Jiang Aya. The smile on Mrs. Xu's face was strong, and she looked at Jiang Aya for a while, Jiang Aya turned a blind eye, and pulled Gu Anning to the other side.
Gu Anning nodded at Mrs. Xu, and let Jiang Aya pull her away, no matter where she went, it was better than being embarrassed.
After being pulled away by Jiang Aya, Gu Anning was also relieved, since the second lady was on the side of the gate, she deliberately explained this matter.
How could she not understand if she was not stupid.
"Miss Aya'er, where are you taking me?" Seeing that Jiang Aya dragged her to the garden and went to the sixth entrance, she immediately had to hold Jiang Aya and couldn't go any further.
Today is the Spring Festival, and the old lady will not show up this year.
Jiang Aya saw that she was grinding, and with an oops, she pulled someone and went to the sixth entrance gate, but the green glaze who was chasing after her watched her own girl being taken to the sixth entrance gate by Jiang Aya.
Before the two of them entered the outer room, they heard Jiang Yang and the old lady talking inside, Jiang Aya simply didn't go in, so she dragged Gu Anning to stay outside.
"It's... An Ning is still a little girl, not to mention that she is much younger in age, but I am afraid that her identity is not worthy of Master Jiang. ”
The old lady saw that Jiang Yang's family really took a fancy to An Ning's girl, and thought about what was going on.
Jiang Yang's family is straightforward on weekdays, so he naturally does not restrain these. "The old lady's words are serious, how can she be worthy of what she is not worthy, my eldest son and An Ning also have some dealings, I have seen it before, and now I see that An Ning is also a good girl, so I want to settle this matter early. ”
Gu Jiang's family didn't want Gu Anning to marry the Jiang family, and Jiang Yang's family could see that since this was the case, he came to the door early this morning to talk to the old lady in person.
Gu Anning outside heard this, and couldn't help but widen her eyes, and suddenly understood why the second lady was dissatisfied with her these days.
Jiang Yang's admiration for tranquility is the blessing of tranquility, and the old lady also knows that Jiang Yang's family is the wife of the Jiang family, not to mention, her mother's family is a military general, and she has been loyal and good for generations.
