Chapter Forty-Nine: The Complexion of the City
Is this Gu Xiangyi defending Fu Zhirong? Fu Zhirong took a deep breath and almost fell on his back.
And Gu Hengjun glared at Gu Xiangyi, then turned his head to look at Fu Zhirong, and waved his hand angrily: "That's it, let's wear it like this!"
How could he not understand? The sixth girl is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and her wife is not an honest thing, her little unclear mind is enough to make the entire Gu family lose face, but she only cares about her daughter's temporary scenery, regardless of the opinions and mouths of others about the Gu family!
If it is true that the Fu family treats the concubine harshly and is said a few words, it doesn't hurt, after all, which housekeeper of the mansion and compound is easy to talk to? But on that occasion, if he doesn't even prepare a suitable dress, the thief's mind is obvious, and the reputation may not be difficult to hear.
Listening to Gu Hengjun's words, it was inconvenient for others to say any more, Gu Ruoyi stared at Gu Xiangyi, Gu Shuyi tilted her head to the side, not letting others see the unwillingness in her eyes, and Gu Fangyi bit her lower lip hatefully, and the handkerchief in her hand was almost deformed.
Gu Fangyi felt that she was born very beautiful, because the Jiang family was not ugly, she almost inherited all the advantages of Gu Hengjun and the Jiang family, but on weekdays, Gu Xiangyi was not inconspicuous, and she could make herself the first beauty of the Gu family, but Gu Xiangyi is now on the rise, and she is compared to her, standing next to Gu Xiangyi, she is like a green leaf under a flower, and she has completely become a foil.
Hurry up early or late, even if a few people are unconvinced and willing, but thinking that the auspicious time is not good to delay, they got into the carriage and the Fu family led a few girls.
Fu Shi and Gu Ruoyi sat in front, and the remaining three Yi sat in the carriage behind, Gu Fangyi looked at the fifth sister on the left, and then at the sixth sister, and mocked: "The sixth sister is really good-looking today, she pretends to be so tall on weekdays, and she also beat the fourth brother, isn't it actually a person who is eager to climb the high branches." ”
Gu Shuyi lowered her eyes and was silent, pretending not to hear what the two said.
They had also heard about Gu Yitao's reprimand, but they didn't know why, but now that they heard Gu Fangyi say this, she could figure out a few points.
"I remember that the eighth sister and the seventh sister were born only one day apart, right?" Gu Xiangyi ignored her cynicism, and instead asked: "Since there is not much difference in age, why didn't the eighth sister come to the chrysanthemum banquet today, but the seventh sister came?"
When it comes to her own sister's head, Gu Shuyi can't pretend to be deaf.
Hearing her mention the eighth sister, Gu Fangyi's face changed for a moment, and she pretended to be calm: "Don't say that she is only one day younger than me, even if it is an hour, it is still below me, I am her sister, what's wrong with the older family going to the chrysanthemum banquet?"
"Really?" Gu Xiangyi looked at the fifth sister, then looked at Gu Fangyi, and said, "Are you sure it's not Mrs. Jiang who cried and begged her father miserably, pretending to be pitiful to change the opportunity for you to go?
Two and a half sentences, Gu Fangyi's apricot eyes glared angrily, and he was speechless.
Gu Shuyi listened carefully, thinking that she was not as easy to bully as before, and now she is reasonable in her words and actions, neither suffering losses nor letting people hold the handle, it seems that it is difficult to deal with, and she must be more attentive when you get along with her in the future.
The injury on her left arm won't hurt as long as she doesn't move, but Gu Fangyi was annoyed by Gu Xiangyi like this, so she slapped her on the shoulder and scolded: "You cheap hoof, where did you get such heart-wrenching words?"
Fortunately, she didn't hit the wound, but although she missed, the flesh still hurt a little bit, Gu Xiangyi's face instantly turned cold, the anger in her eyes became thicker, and her black and white eyes couldn't help but tremble when she looked at it at the moment.
Gu Fangyi immediately closed her mouth, and for some reason, she didn't dare to say the next word or do it again.
"Fifth sister, in front of you, please be a witness, the seventh sister is open-mouthed, beating and scolding her sister, there must be an explanation for this matter, I hope that the fifth sister will know everything by then. Gu Xiangyi didn't want to clash with Gu Fangyi in the carriage, so she reached out and opened the corner of the carriage curtain and looked at the scenery outside.
Gu Shuyi was stunned for a moment and nodded slightly. And Gu Fangyi was blushing, frightened and angry, and didn't want to admit defeat to Gu Xiangyi, so she pouted and said for a long time: "I'm not afraid to tell my father! When the time comes, I'll go to my father and cry twice, make sure he cleans you up, don't be too crazy!"
The Jiang family and the Xu family have been at odds for many years, as for why Gu Xiuyi was born a day later than Gu Fangyi, and why the two were born prematurely at the same time, there are different opinions. Jiang felt that he was calculated by Fu or Xu, and Xu thought that he was assassinated by Fu or Jiang.
The official road is very flat, and many familiar mansions pass in front of him, Gu Xiangyi felt the cool autumn wind blowing on his face, and looked at the leaves on the trees on both sides that had begun to turn yellow, and he couldn't help but feel melancholy in his heart.
Looking at that face as bright and moving as a flower, Gu Shuyi's heart felt as if she was being grabbed by a hand, but that feeling was fleeting, and she felt that she had nothing to be jealous of.
No matter how beautiful she is, it is useless, she has a face very similar to the Song family, every time Gu Hengjun sees her, he will think that this is not his flesh and blood, and he will think that he has a big green hat on his head, and his family will not care about it, and there will definitely be no good marriage in the future, even if she is beautiful, a wild seed of unknown origin, Bofu will not care about her family affairs.
Thinking like this, Gu Shuyi breathed a sigh of relief, turned her head and looked at Gu Fangyi again.
Compared with Gu Xiangyi, this seventh sister is a little more threatening. She looks good, her biological mother is favored, and she has two older brothers, it can be said that she is not too much to compare with the daughters in the family, she is Gu Shuyi's biggest threat.
The carriage slowly stopped, Fu Shi and Gu Ruoyi glanced at each other, and got out of the carriage one after the other. From walking, to talking, and gestures have been instructed by Fu Zhirong many times, Gu Ruoyi didn't dare to make a mistake, and even the steps of walking seemed to be measured out by a ruler, and the interpretation of 'everyone's girlfriend' and the four characters was incisive.
Her reputation is too bad, if she doesn't take this opportunity to change the life of the noble lady in Beijing, her family affairs will really become a big problem!
Fu Zhirong said clearly and clearly. She wants to marry Yi Jingxiao, I'm afraid it will take some effort, but today is not a trip for nothing, as long as she behaves appropriately and speaks in a measured manner, it will be like a living signboard, and all the gossip will be broken, and there will always be good relatives in the future.
She is the concubine of the Bofu! She must not marry into such a grass nest of the Lu family because of her reputation.
The three Yi in the back also got out of the carriage, and there were still a few carriages parked on the street, and it seemed that the others had arrived one after another.
"Oh, Mrs. Zhang!" Fu Zhirong saw a familiar face, let go of Gu Ruoyi's hand and greeted him, and the two of them were so cold and warm, as if they knew each other. This Mrs. Zhang's husband's official position is not too high, but the son of the family has just been promoted not long ago, and he can be regarded as a newcomer in the DPRK and China, and the future is immeasurable, otherwise her Zhang family would not be able to get the invitation from the Yi family.
Others don't look down on a businessman like Fu's background, and feel that she is like a poor man who is getting rich, and she is not welcomed, and she got the countess by donating money and food, in fact, everyone knows how much this head is worth.
However, Mrs. Zhang didn't dare to make Bofu angry, and she smiled with a smile on her face, and was polite to Fu: "Yo, these are a few sisters in the family, right? She grabbed Gu Ruoyi's hand and took a closer look: "Look at this delicate skin, if my sister is half as beautiful as Sister Ruo, then I won't be worried!"
Gu Ruoyi was a little carried away by the praise, and the other three Yiyi were more despised.
To be honest, standing with several other sisters, Mrs. Zhang really praised her for her beauty with a clear conscience.
But Mrs. Zhang has no intention of stopping.
"Mrs. Gu, didn't your eldest daughter marry into the Hou Mansion, my official went to the Hou Mansion as a guest a guest a few days ago, and saw Sister Xian, came back to me to praise her for her courtesy, and controlled the Hou Mansion very well, and told me that if you ask for a daughter-in-law in the future, you will follow Sister Xian'er, you will really raise a daughter!"
Fu Zhirong smiled with satisfaction, and said modestly: "Where is it so easy to give birth to a good daughter, I didn't worry much about Sister Xian when she was a child." ”
"Is it worth worrying about?" Mrs. Zhang looked at Gu Ruoyi with a smile: "I remember that when I saw Sister Ruo'er before, she hadn't left yet, and I didn't dare to recognize it at first glance on the street at this time, so I really followed Mrs. Gu's good looks." ”
The words of compliments kept coming, and I couldn't wait to praise Gu Ruoyi to the heavens and the earth.
It seems that this Mrs. Zhang is also very camping!
Several people entered the door of the Jingde Mansion together, and after handing over the post, a few maids came over to lead the way, leading a few people through the corridor and towards the courtyard.
Not far away, some young girls and sons are admiring the flowers, some are talking, four or five groups of people know each other to chat, and you can hear the girls' laughter as soon as they walk.
And as Fu led a few girls to approach, many people's eyes gathered in one place.
Gu Xiangyi, who was wearing new clothes, had a slender waist and a swaying skirt, which only made her look more delicate than flowers, and her bright and moving complexion was moving even if it was cold.
"Whose girl is that?" a man's voice rang into everyone's ears.
"It seems to be from Zhongyi Bofu, right?" Another man's voice said: "I heard that the six girls of the Gu family also came out this time, and it was the first time I saw it, it seems to be the one." ”
"Yes, I can call it a beautiful look, I look more beautiful than the other girls. ”
These words were listened to by several people, and they only felt that their faces were hot, especially Mrs. Zhang, how she praised Gu Ruoyi, and how did that set of words hit her in the face. On the contrary, Gu Xiangyi was calm, as if they were not praising themselves.
