Chapter 12 Distinguished Guests

Shen's tone revealed a deep dissatisfaction. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Since the last unhappy breakup, the mother and daughter have had a cold war. When we meet every day, there is almost nothing to say except for the necessary greetings.

In the past, it was the Shen family who alienated Gu Guanning.

Now it's the mother and daughter who are cold to each other.

Gu Jinyan was caught between his mother and sister, in a dilemma, and his heart was quite uncomfortable.

He stepped forward and gently tugged at Shen's sleeve, with pleading in his clear and bright eyes: "Mother, don't be angry with your sister." She must have been delayed by something when she came late......"

"What could be more important than this one?!"

Shen asked rhetorically without thinking, his voice tense and sharp.

Shen Wuye is his mother's cousin, and he hasn't seen him for many years, so it's inevitable that his mother will be anxious. But...... The mother's family who haven't seen each other for many years is heavier than her own daughter?

No wonder my sister is not happy these days......

Gu Jinyan looked at Shen's slightly gloomy face and didn't say anything.

At this moment, the eldest maid Birong respectfully came to report: "Madam, Miss is here." ”

Gu Jinyan's eyes lit up, and without waiting for Shen Shi to react, he immediately turned around and went out. Soon, he took Gu Wanning's hand with a smile on his face and walked in: "Mother, my sister is here." ”

Gu Guanning saluted: "My daughter has seen her mother." ”

"You finally know you're coming. Shen Shi resisted the urge to snort coldly, but his tone was not much better: "I have already sent someone to call you, why has it been delayed for so long?"

Gu Wanning pretended to be surprised: "Could it be that the fifth uncle and Cousin Qinglan have already arrived in the mansion? Then I am really rude, how can I make the distinguished guests from afar wait for a long time." ”

Shen: "......"

Gu Jinyan's immature children's voice sounded: "Sister, don't worry. The fifth uncle and cousin were still on the road and did not arrive at the house. ”

"It's not there yet!" Gu Wanning let out a long sigh of relief: "That's good, my mother is so angry, I thought I was rude because I didn't catch the guests into the house." ”

Shen's face flushed.

This girl is simply angry with her!

Gu Wanning didn't seem to notice Shen's anger, and looked over with a smile: "Mother, do you think I'm still wearing this dress today?"

Shen pressed the anger in his heart and looked at it slightly. At this look, Liu Mei frowned again.

It's not that it's not casual and inappropriate, it's that it's too delicate!

Gu Wanning was born with a bright complexion, as the daughter of the Hou Mansion, she was raised in a pampered manner, with careless arrogance and calm nobility in her bones. Even if you are wearing plain clothes and skirts, with a plain face, standing in the crowd will still attract everyone's attention.

Today, Gu Guanning deliberately dressed up carefully.

The smooth and delicate face is white and red, the eyes are clear, and the red lips are beautiful. Wore a full set of red gold inlaid cat's eye stone jewelry. A smooth and soft cloud skirt that shines in the sun.

Sister Lan grew up in Xijing, but she is outstanding in talent and appearance, and her bearing and knowledge must be far inferior to Gu Wanning. As soon as they met, I was afraid that they would be firmly crushed.

Shen was unhappy in his heart, but his face was not easy to show.

Gu Guanning knew Shen's temperament and temper well, and he was well versed in the way of anger and death, so he pretended to be aggrieved and said: "Why doesn't Mother speak? I thought about seeing my uncle and cousin today, so I deliberately spent a lot of time dressing up, so as not to snub the distinguished guests. Could it be that my mother is still not satisfied?"

Gu Jinyan looked up, with some dissatisfaction in his eyes.

The mother's temper is getting more and more eccentric.

My sister is making concessions and showing goodwill, what else is there for my mother to be unhappy about?

Seeing Gu Jinyan's unhappy face, Shen quickly reacted, squeezed out a smile and said, "You girl, come to arrange me again." I'm not satisfied with anything. I didn't speak just now, but I was stunned for a while. ”

He smiled and sighed: "I always feel that you are still a child, and you have grown into a big girl in a blink of an eye." When I dressed up, even my own mother felt amazing when I looked at it. ”

The words are good, and the dissatisfaction in his eyes is also tightly concealed.

Finally rounded the scene.

Gu Guanning did not expose the insincere Shen family, pursed his lips and smiled.

No matter how smart Gu Jinyan is, he is still a child in the end. Seeing my mother and sister reconcile, I was very happy: "What my mother said is that I saw my sister just now, and I also think that my sister is very good-looking today. ”

As he spoke, he habitually took Gu Wanning's hand.

Gu Wanning resisted the urge to withdraw his hand, and talked softly to Gu Jinyan as before.

Now is not the time to expose the true face of the Shen family.

Gu Jinyan's true life experience must not be leaked.

Otherwise, not only will it damage the reputation of the Beihou Mansion, but Gu Zhan, who has been sleeping underground for a long time, will also be ridiculed and unable to rest in peace.

The grandmother was full of hope that Gu Jinyan would inherit his father's business in the future and support the Dingbei Hou Mansion. Once you know that the grandson who has loved her for so many years is not Gu Zhan's bloodline at all, how sad and sad will the elderly grandmother be?

In her previous life, her grandmother died of excessive illness, and in this life, she must not repeat the mistakes of the past.

It is not difficult to deal with Shen's mother and son, but it is difficult to hide it from everyone......

Fighting mice is afraid of hurting the jade bottle, that's it.

Fortunately, the future is long, and she can plan slowly.

……

The mansion of the Dingbei Marquis Mansion was given by Emperor Gaozu, which is quite close to the palace, only a few streets away. Walking to the palace gate is just a stick of incense.

Next door is the house of Luo Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites. The residence of the Imperial Priest and Taifu Rin, the residence of the Servant of the Ministry of Justice, and the residence of the Cabinet University Scholar Fu Ge are all nearby.

The mansions closer to Miyagi are mostly princes' mansions, county palaces, princesses' mansions, and the like. The Prince's Mansion and the Qi Palace's Mansion are also among them.

Those who live here are the top official families of the Great Qin Dynasty.

The streets are wide and flat and can accommodate ten horse-drawn carriages in parallel. The road was clean, there were no hawkers shouting back and forth, and there were very few pedestrians, and there was a strange solemnity in the quiet.

The two carriages marked with the Dingbei Hou Mansion turned a corner and entered the alley.

In front is the Dingbei Hou Mansion.

The father and daughter sitting in the carriage looked a little excited.

"Dad, you haven't seen your aunt in so many years. Is my aunt really as gentle and kind as you say?" the fourteen-year-old girl's voice was a little timid, soft and pleasant.

The man suppressed his surging emotions and smiled at his daughter: "Of course." Your aunt and I grew up together, and we are the most affectionate, and I am very familiar with her temperament. Rest assured, she will like you very much and treat you as her own. ”

The girl smiled sheepishly, still uneasy in her heart.

The Shen family is a famous family in Xijing, and they live together.

She and her father lived alone in a remote yard, her father's legs and feet were inconvenient, and he was silent and silent, rarely went out, and did not have much contact with his clansmen.

My father didn't go out, she was a girl, and her mother died early, and there was only a little maid Lu'er by her side to serve food, clothing, and daily life. Every day, he read and practiced calligraphy with his father, practiced the piano and painted, and he did not go out of the door until he was 14 years old.

My aunt has been married to the capital for many years, and she has almost never had any contact with her mother's family except for New Year's gifts.

The Shen family chatted on weekdays, and rarely mentioned the Shen family, who was married far away.

To her, this aunt was strange and distant.

When her father told her that she was going to the capital to join her aunt, she was stunned. Growing so big, she has never even been out of the West Capital City, and the prosperity and wealth of the capital are out of reach for her.

If you live well in Xijing, why do you suddenly want to go to the capital?

No matter how good the capital is, it is not her home.

Wandering and restless, she begged her father not to go.

has always loved her and obeyed her father, but this time he is extremely stubborn.

When she asked why, her father only said, "You're fourteen years old, and it's time to say goodbye soon." With your aunt here, she will definitely say a good family business for you. ”

However, there are also many outstanding young men in Xijing City.

Why do you have to leave your hometown and go to the capital?

She was a little aggrieved and a little confused, but she couldn't resist her stubborn father.

What's even more strange is that my father didn't tell anyone about such a big thing as leaving Xijing to go to the capital. secretly packed his luggage and took her away before dawn.

My grandfather and grandmother passed away a few years ago, and the father and daughter lived alone in a small courtyard, and most of the front doors were locked on weekdays, and they only entered and exited through the back door. Before leaving, my father locked the small yard again.

It would probably be a long time before anyone noticed that their father and daughter were gone!

At dawn, she boarded the boat with her father.

The boat has been bumpy for more than half a month, not to mention the physical fatigue, what is even more worrying is that the road ahead is confused and unknown.

What is my aunt's temperament and temper?

Will you dislike your relatives who have come from afar?

I heard that my aunt has a cousin who is a year younger than her, and a cousin who is seven years old. I don't know if it's easy to get along......

These thoughts swirl in her mind every day. After getting off the boat and getting into the carriage of the Dingbei Hou Mansion, this hesitation and uneasiness became even stronger.

The tall and imposing horses pulled the spacious carriage, which was covered with soft white blankets, and the tables, chairs, stoves, and tea sets were exquisite. Pull the secret compartment in the car, and there are snacks such as preserved fruits, dried meat, and candied fruit, as well as some miscellaneous books such as travelogues.

The incense burner was burning in the car, one maid was cooking tea, and the other was waiting for snacks and snacks, with gentle and careful movements.

She was wearing a new dress made of fine muslin. He also deliberately wore a gold hairpin on his head, and put a pair of jade bracelets on his wrists that were of acceptable condition.

I thought that entering the Hou Mansion like this would not be shabby and rude. It wasn't until she saw the clothes of the two maids that she knew that she was innocent and ridiculous.

The maids in the Dingbei Hou Mansion are all dressed better than her.

She bit her lip and glanced at her father quietly.

My father didn't know what he was thinking, and his expression was a little dazed.
