Chapter 21 Seeking Other

"Look at the cousin of the Shen family, her eyes are teary at every turn, as if someone is bullying her. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info" Gu Guanqi muttered in a low voice as he walked: "It's really awkward to watch." ”

The ladies of the capital are beautiful, and what they pay attention to is that they are generous, smooth and transparent. Even if you are a little wronged, you have to save face and find a chance to fight back.

The ladies of the Gu family have the unique tenacity and strength of the ladies of the Jiangmen. Even Gu Guanmin, who looked at the weakest, never cried in front of people.

Shen Qinglan's style of being aggrieved and crying at every turn is really despicable.

Gu Guanmin took over the conversation: "But isn't it? When I was leaving just now, I glanced back, and Cousin Shen's eyes seemed to be red. She went to Rongde Hall to see the second aunt like this, and the second aunt had to ask a few questions. Isn't this a deliberate attempt to instigate the mother-daughter relationship between the second sister and the second aunt?"

The relationship between Gu Guanning and the Shen family is stiff enough. If there is such a weak Miss Shen Jiabiao, I am afraid it will be even more difficult to stop in the future.

"Yes! The third sister is right. Gu Guanhua looked at Gu Guanning with concern: "Second sister, do you want to go back to Rongde Hall and explain a few words to the second aunt?"

Gu Wanning tugged at the corners of his lips: "No need." I don't like Shen Qinglan, and it's also true that I deliberately alienate her coldly. Nothing to explain. ”

…… It's really frank and straightforward.

Gu Guanhua and the others looked at each other.

After a while, Gu Guanhua asked tentatively: "Second sister, Cousin Shen has just arrived in the mansion for two days, why do you hate her so much? Did she say something that made you dislike? Or did she do something that disgusted you?"

"Not yet. Gu Wanning smiled faintly, and then said something that was incomprehensible: "However, it is a matter of time!"

Everyone: "......"

Gu Wanqi was stunned: "Second sister, what are you talking about? Why didn't I understand a word!"

You're not the only one who doesn't understand, and we don't understand either!

Everyone looked at Gu Guanning together, expecting Gu Guanning to explain in detail.

Gu Wanning refused to say any more, and quickly opened the topic: "Don't talk about this." Say something happy. This afternoon, the shopkeeper of the Embroidery Village and the Treasure Pavilion will send clothes and jewelry, and we will have to pick some carefully. ”

Gu Guanhua cooperated with the change of topic understandingly: "There is still half a month to go before the eightieth birthday of the old lady of the Fu family. Grandmother said that she would take us to the door to congratulate us when the time came. When you go out, you really have to dress well. ”

Gu Wanning smiled and hummed.

Mrs. Fu is the mother of Fu Ge Lao, and she is also the lady of the first rank of the Holy Lord. Counted, it is a generation older than Mrs. Tai.

Looking at the entire capital, it is almost impossible to find a second female dependent with a noble status like Mrs. Fu, who is in her eighties.

Fu Ge is a scholar of Wenhua Pavilion University and the second assistant of the cabinet, and he has won the trust of Emperor Yuanyou today. It is also very prestigious in the government and the opposition.

Therefore, although Mrs. Fu's birthday has not yet arrived, it has already attracted attention.

However, there are not many people who are qualified to receive invitations from the Fu Mansion. Fu Ge has been an official for 30 years, and he is low-key and unassuming. On the old mother's birthday, she only sent invitations to the people she had befriended -- it is not known how many officials and their dependents would take the initiative to come to the door when they heard the news.

The Gu family and the Fu family are only separated by two neighborhoods, and they have always been in contact on weekdays. I got the invitation.

Although the Gu family does not restrict the ladies from going out. However, when they have nothing to do, it is inconvenient for them, the ladies in the boudoir, to go out and walk around often. Now that he can go out as a guest in a bright and bright way, even Gu Guanhua, who has the most quiet temperament, is full of joy.

Gu Wanqi immediately smiled and said: "In the past, my grandmother always said that I was young and refused to take me out of the house as a guest. I'm eleven years old this year, and my grandmother shouldn't have left me behind. ”

The youngest Gu Guanyue held her little face and sighed: "In this way, it is not my share to be a guest this time." ”

It made everyone laugh.

……

Fang's family had already prepared lunch, but when he saw that Gu Guanning and the others were here, he immediately ordered the maid: "Go to the kitchen and say something, add another six dishes." Remember to tell the cook to make steamed sea bass. ”

Gu Wanning pursed her lips and smiled: "It's hard for the third aunt to remember that I love to eat fish, thank you to the third aunt." ”

The cousins have different tastes, and Gu Wanning likes to eat fish the most.

Obviously, this steamed sea bass was ordered for Gu Guanning.

Fang smiled affectionately: "Look at you, it seems like a lot of life to say this." If you are willing to come often, I will let the cook cook fish for you to eat every day. ”

Fang's background is not obvious, and his father is a fourth-rank official. In the capital, where "there are many nobles and nobles like dogs, the emperor walks everywhere", a mere fourth-grade official is inconspicuous.

Fang's is not tall, and his appearance is not particularly beautiful. A round face, always with a little smile. It's pleasing to the eye.

Compared to the tall and gorgeous Wu clan, the Fang clan was obviously inferior. Standing beside the beautiful, elegant, cold and reserved Shen clan, the Fang clan was even more bleak.

Gu Hai is a well-known beautiful man in the capital, and I don't know how many ladies admired him back then, but he married the daughter of the Fang family who was not outstanding, and I don't know how many people secretly choked Gu Hai.

Although Gu Hai is a concubine, the Gu family is the most prominent general in Daqin, and it is more than enough to marry the eldest daughter of a fourth-grade official. If Fang's talent is outstanding, it's just that, but Fang's appearance is not amazing, and the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are mediocre. Standing beside the handsome and dignified Gu Hai, no matter how you look at it, it feels a bit like "a flower is stuck in cow dung".

Of course, that flower is by no means the Fang Clan.

Fang and Gu Hai have been married for many years, and their relationship is quite harmonious. It also made everyone who was waiting to see Fang's joke secretly surprised.

Gu Guanning has a good impression of the third aunt of the Fang family.

Fang was neither beautiful nor particularly intelligent. However, the most valuable thing about her is that she is self-aware. For so many years, she has never spoken too much, and An An has been the third lady of the Gu family. Filial piety to her mother-in-law, humility to her two sisters-in-law, taking care of a son and a daughter in every possible way, and being very generous to Gu Guanyue, who is a concubine. Up and down the house, no one can pick out the Fang clan's no.

It's no wonder that the third uncle Gu Hai has always been very satisfied with his mediocre-looking wife and respects him.

……

After arranging the meal and seating everyone, Fang sent the maid to the study: "Go and invite the master to come over for lunch." ”

Gu Hai came soon.

"Father!" "Third Uncle!"

Several girls stood up to say hello.

Gu Hai smiled heartily: "When your family eats together, just be casual, don't be restrained." He pretended to be surprised: "Yo! Is the sun coming out in the west today? Why did even Miss Gu Er deign to come?"

Everyone was amused by the witty Gu Hai.

Gu Wanning also laughed, and playfully responded back: "I got up early today, pinched my fingers, and expected that the third uncle would be in the mansion today." That's why it's time to eat. ”

There is no rule of eating and sleeping in the third room. Gu Hai spoke humorously, the Fang family was also generous and gentle, and Gu Guanning sat at the dinner table, extremely comfortable.

Talking and laughing, the lunch was quite enjoyable.

After lunch, Gu Hai got up and prepared to go back to the study.

"Third uncle!" Gu Guanning also got up: "I want to borrow a few books in your study to read." ”

The so-called borrowing of books is, of course, an excuse.

She came to the third room on purpose, not just for lunch.

Gu Hai's heart moved, his eyes swirled on Gu Wanning's calm and waveless face, and he couldn't think of a reason why Gu Wanning came to him on purpose: "Okay, you come with me." ”

Gu Guanhua and Gu Guanmin glanced at each other, and retired first with interest.

Gu Wanqi didn't know what to do, and shouted: "Second sister, what book do you want to borrow?" I'll accompany you to the study ......."

Fang immediately interrupted Gu Wanqi with a smile: "Qi'er, I have something to say to you. You come with me. ”

Gu Guanqi wanted to say something more, but he had already been pulled away by the Fang clan.

The third aunt is indeed an informed and knowledgeable person, and she may not be curious about her intentions, but she didn't ask a word. also dragged Gu Guanqi away.

Gu Wanning thought secretly in his heart, and followed Gu to the study.

Gu Hai asked bluntly: "Wanning, what do you want to find the third uncle?" After a pause, he said: "As long as the third uncle can do it, he will never refuse." ”
