Chapter 44: Vanity

Early the next morning. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

All the people of the Gu family gathered in Zhenghe Hall.

Mrs. Tai, who is dressed in new clothes, also looks particularly energetic today. Wu had already stood beside Mrs. Tai diligently, and affectionately held Mrs. Tai's arm and said with a smile: "Mother-in-law looks extremely young today. ”

Mrs. Tai laughed when she heard this: "I'm an old woman, it doesn't hurt to look young and spirited. When you are dressed in good spirits, my heart is happy. ”

went to Fu's mansion for a banquet today, and the three daughters-in-law and concubine Gu Hai were all going to go. The four children in the long house are not young, and they have to bring them this time, of course Gu Guanning must go, and eleven-year-old Gu Wanqi should also be taken out to see the world.

Several cousins also accompanied them.

Gu Jinyan in the second room and Gu Jinli in the third room Gu Guanyue were younger and could only stay in the house.

The Gu family is born with good looks. Gu Jinxing and Gu Jinzhi are handsome young men, and the granddaughters of the Gu family are even more beautiful Zhong Lingyuxiu, or dignified and beautiful, or pretty or bright.

Mrs. Tai's gaze swept around, and finally landed on Gu Wanning's smiling pretty face.

Looking at her favorite granddaughter Yan Yan Yan, Mrs. Tai's mood became better and better, and she praised with a smile: "Sister Ning is really Peugeot today." ”

Gu Wanning smiled playfully: "Grandmother even gave me good things at the bottom of the box, so I have to be beautiful no matter what, so I can be worthy of my grandmother's heart." ”

Mrs. Tai was coaxed happily, called Gu Guanning to her side, held Gu Guanning's hand and whispered gossip.

Gu Wanning and Mrs. Tai have always been close, and they snuggled up to Mrs. Tai's side affectionately.

……

Shen Qinglan, who was standing beside the Shen family, and Wu Lianxiang, who was standing behind the Wu family, invariably looked at the golden hairpin on Gu Wanning's head together.

The golden hairpin, the carving is extremely exquisite, and what is more eye-catching is the night pearl inlaid on the golden hairpin.

The night pearl is large and round, with a deceptive sheen. Gu Wanning's pretty face without grease powder was as smooth as jade, her complexion was radiant, and she was bright and beautiful.

The night pearl is a rare treasure in the world, and most of them are solemnly stored in the treasury and do not see the light of day.

Mrs. Tai asked the craftsman to inlay this night pearl, which can be used as an heirloom, on the golden hairpin and gave it to Gu Wanning.

Gu Guanning just casually put it on his head.

Wu Lianxiang was jealous and jealous, and glanced at it again and again.

Gu Guanhua coughed lightly, and Wu Lianxiang reluctantly withdrew her gaze.

As soon as she turned her head, she saw that Shen Qinglan was still staring straight at Gu Guanning, Wu Lianxiang suddenly forgot her gaffe and mocked in a low voice: "If Cousin Shen really likes this golden hairpin, after today, just ask Cousin Guanning to borrow it and wear it for a day or two." The second aunt loves you so much, just because of her face, I don't think Cousin Guanning will refuse you. ”

With such an obvious ridicule, how could Shen Qinglan not hear it?

It's just that in front of everyone, it is inconvenient for her to refute. I don't want to turn my face with Wu Lianxiang.

Shen Qinglan reluctantly suppressed the unhappiness in her heart, and squeezed out a smile: "Cousin Wu said that she was laughing." This golden hairpin was specially given to her cousin in Guanning by Mrs. Tai, and it is extremely valuable. How can I open my mouth and borrow it from my cousin Wanning to wear it. ”

Wu Lianxiang glanced at the white jade lotus hairpin on Shen Qinglan's head, and said sourly: "The white hosta on your head is also excellent. The second aunt gave it to you!"

A few days ago, among the jewelry sent by the Treasure Pavilion, there was no lotus hairpin in such a good condition.

I also know that such a good thing must have been given to Shen Qinglan by the Shen family in private.

A hint of self-satisfaction flashed in Shen Qinglan's eyes, and she pretended to hum indifferently: "This white hosta is indeed not ordinary. My aunt said that when I was a guest for the first time, I had to wear some expensive jewelry so that I would not be underestimated. My aunt was kind, but I was disrespectful and had to accept it. ”

"When I get back, I'll give it back to my aunt. ”

Hmph! It's better to say than to sing.

How can you return something that has already arrived?

Shen Qinglan was really lucky. Shen is the daughter-in-law of the Dingbei Hou Mansion and is in charge of the middle feed. I don't know how rich Shen's private room is, and a little subsidy is enough for Shen Qinglan to eat and wear.

In comparison, Wu is far behind. Moreover, the most painful thing for the Wu family is Gu Guanhua, and if there is something good in his hand, he will hold on to his daughter first. And then it was her turn.

No matter how much she flatters and flatters the Wu family on weekdays, she has never had such a good hosta.

Wu Lianxiang's tone became even more sour: "Come on, don't be hypocritical in front of me." What the second aunt gave you, how could you go back again. You can keep it in peace!"

The sourness in Wu Lianxiang's tone was so obvious that Shen Qinglan only felt very happy in her eyes when she saw it.

In the past, the days in Xijing were lonely and bitter.

That's how life is called now.

Dad took her to join her aunt, which was the right decision.

……

Dingbei Hou Mansion is only two streets away from Fu Mansion, and it is only a matter of tea on foot. However, when you go out as a guest, you pay attention to decent status. No matter how close it is, you have to take a horse-drawn carriage to get there.

Gu Hai and Gu Jinxing and Gu Jinzhi rode horses respectively, and the ladies sat in three carriages.

Mrs. Tai led her three daughters-in-law to the first carriage, Gu Guanhua, Gu Guanmin and Wu Lianxiang from the long house took a carriage, and Gu Guanqi followed Gu Guanning to the last carriage. Yao Ruozhu and Gu Guanning are better, so naturally they and Gu Wanning are in the same car.

Shen Qinglan hesitated slightly, and also got into the carriage.

She sat down beside Gu Wanning, and was about to talk, Gu Wanning had already looked over with a smile: "Cousin Shen and Cousin Wu have been talking very happily, I thought you would ride in a carriage with her." ”

There was coldness and unkindness in his tone.

These days, Gu Wanning's attitude towards her has eased slightly. Why did you suddenly start targeting her again today?

Shen Qinglan was a little uneasy, more of a weak heart.

She whispered to Wu Lianxiang for a long time just now, Gu Wanning shouldn't have heard anything...... Or is Gu Wanning unhappy that her aunt gave her a white hosta?

"Cousin Wanning, are you angry with me?" Shen Qinglan opened her mouth timidly: "Cousin Wu took the initiative to talk to me, and I couldn't ignore her." ”

Things are divided into groups, and people are gathered by likes.

It is natural for Shen Qinglan, who is greedy for vanity and selfishness, and Wu Lianxiang, who has nothing to do, get together.

Gu Guanning said with a pun: "Cousin Shen and Cousin Wu get along well, I am also happy to look at it, how can I be angry." ”

It's not for Wu Lianxiang, it must be for the white hosta.

My aunt gave her the good things in her private room, how could Gu Wanning not mind?

Shen Qinglan pushed herself and others, thinking that she had guessed Gu Wanning's thoughts, and said apologetically: "Cousin Guanning, this white hosta was lent to me by my aunt. After today, I will definitely return it to my aunt. ”
