Chapter Fifty-Four: A War of Words
"That's why they treated me first!" Although she wanted to be soft, she wanted to show her weak and gentle appearance, but how could there be such an opportunity now?
"Mrs. Gu is an elder, do you want an elder to show respect to you? Eldest sister, where have you learned etiquette. Yi Jingxiao said coldly.
The big guy gasped.
What does this prince of Jingde say... is really ruthless, even his own sister dares to reprimand in public, and his aggressive appearance is even worse than Yi Xiuhan, but no one can find out his fault.
Yi Xiuhan only felt that at this moment she was even more embarrassed than those female relatives of the Gu family, being reprimanded by her younger brother, and being watched by so many outsiders, this was really the first time in her life!
"Why are you elbowing outwards, you!" she whispered.
Gu Ruoyi's cheeks turned red at the moment, as if he vaguely understood why he had to come forward to defend himself, could it be because he liked himself, so he did not hesitate to contradict his sister, and did not hesitate to face his sister in front of so many people?
Yes, with so many people present, he didn't dare to say it even if he had the heart to defend himself, but at this moment, if someone smeared her reputation, the prince would not be willing.
The more Gu Ruoyi thought about it, the more excited she became, her heart was like a drum, and a smile appeared on her face.
As a result, Yi Jingxiao's next sentence completely shattered her illusion, like a bucket of cold water, pouring her into a soup chicken from head to toe.
"I'm not turning my elbows outward, but I'm trying to protect my future lady. ”
The crowd fell silent instantly, and no one said anything more.
The lady who protects the future? Who is that lady? Did the prince of Jingde say the wrong thing? Could it be that he fell in love with the girl of the Zhongyi Uncle's Mansion? No! The concubine Gu Ruoyi has such a bad reputation, and she looks like no salt, and she can't be found in the crowd, and among the other sisters, except for Gu Xiangyi, the two looks are not too outstanding, but Gu Xiangyi is a concubine, no matter how beautiful she is, she is not worthy of the prince of Jingde!
So the big guys unanimously agreed that it was Yi Jingxiao who said the wrong thing.
And Yi Xiuhan, who clearly heard what he said, widened his eyes in disbelief, and didn't say the next sentence for a long time, but Yi Jingyan heard that his sister had an accident and rushed over, so he broke the peace, and he asked, "What did the second brother Shicai say?"
Yi Jingxiao said again patiently: "I am protecting the future lady, her family is my eldest father-in-law's family, although the eldest sister and I are flesh and blood, but for the sake of the lady's heart regardless of the fault of the eldest sister, I had to reprimand the eldest sister in front of her, and asked the eldest sister and brother to reprimand me later." ”
Hearing this, Yi Jingyan didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
He always thought that this chrysanthemum banquet was a joke, just like Yi Jingxiao, he didn't have any idea about beauty, even if he held ten chrysanthemum banquets, he might not fall in love with a girl, but he never expected that the blind cat really met the dead mouse, Fang's strategy!
It turns out that his younger brother doesn't care about women on the surface, but he is also a tendon in the face protection, and this kind of person is also worthy of competing with him for the position of the son of the world? Yi Jingyan inexplicably rose a trace of confidence in his heart, and felt that Yi Jingxiao was not worthy of being on the same level as him.
After clearing his throat, Yi Jingyan asked again: "Is what the second brother said serious?"
Yi Jingxiao nodded: "It's more real than real gold." ”
The crowd exploded.
Those women who tried their best to provoke Yi Jingxiao to look at themselves seemed to be deflated, listening to those words as if they had lost their souls, and the old men with strained faces one by one no longer had the bright look that sparkled between their eyebrows and eyes when they first came.
"Then I don't know who the second brother likes?" Yi Jingyan asked again.
He felt that according to his understanding of Yi Jingxiao, although Gu Ruoyi was a concubine, she was too ordinary and had a poor reputation, so the second brother couldn't look down on her, and among the remaining concubines, Gu Xiangyi's appearance was superior.
Sure enough, Yi Jingxiao didn't even think about answering: "It's the sixth girl of the Gu family." ”
Fu Zhirong, Gu Ruoyi, Gu Shuyi and Gu Fangyi instantly set their eyes on Gu Xiangyi's face, most of them were angry and few were surprised.
Especially Gu Ruoyi, her face was dark, like an overturned inkstone, very embarrassing.
Fang Yuchun also heard the rumor, and when she learned that Yi Jingxiao had chosen the concubine of the Bofu and said it in public, she couldn't sit still and hurriedly walked out.
Bofu will definitely help Yi Jingxiao, but in the end, she is just a concubine, what kind of turmoil can she make? She doesn't believe that her eldest son will be worse than Yi Jingxiao if he finds a more helpful wife!
Immersed in the joy of catching prey in the trap, the smile on Fang Yuchun's face couldn't be restrained at all, and he almost laughed when he reached a few people, and asked: "The son of the world is really, this kind of thing is casually declared, and I don't ask what the girls think, if the sixth girl also has this intention, then you can be regarded as a talented woman, I will go back and talk to your father about it, and the marriage between the two of you will be rounded, but if the sixth girl doesn't have this idea, then you are not allowed to talk nonsense, you don't have to ruin the reputation of others." ”
Fang Yuchun quietly threw out another trap, and this trap Yi Jingxiao had to jump, and he couldn't dodge it.
She saw that the six girls of the Gu family were here to climb the high branches today, a concubine dressed more than the concubines, and she had a good face to show off here, she must have fished a good husband to go back, Yi Jingxiao's conditions are so good, the six girls are too late to climb the pole, how can they not agree!
The words forced her here, if Gu Xiangyi said that she agreed, then the matter of employment and marriage would be put on the agenda, and outsiders would definitely not have a high evaluation of the couple. A woman, who agreed to marry from the prince in public, where did everyone do such a shameless thing? Not to mention Yi Jingxiao, who was fascinated by beauty, embarrassed and useful, Jingde Gong would first have a pimple in his heart, and there was no need to think about how people outside talked about it.
"Mrs. Fang just asks, I don't marry the sixth girl. Yi Jingxiao looked at Gu Xiangyi's eyes and said, that sentence must be said by you, Gu Xiangyi almost took it seriously.
His eyes were too sincere.
Usually in front of so many outsiders, being called 'Fang Niangzi', Fang Yuchun will feel that her light is peeled off, which makes her very uncomfortable, but today is different, she is so happy.
Turning her head, she smiled very kindly, took Gu Xiangyi's hand and asked softly, "Sixth girl, what do you think?"
Fu Zhirong and even the six girls will definitely agree, she is waiting for the day when she climbs the high branches, now that her wish has come true, she may talk about the meat that is about to be imported? So she hurriedly interjected and said: "Since ancient times, the marriage of children has been the order of their parents, and the matchmaker said, whether the six girls agree to marry the son or not, we have to wait until I go back, and I will discuss it carefully with her father." ”
Hell knows how uncomfortable she felt when she said that!
Nothing can make this sparrow fly up the branches and become a phoenix!
Gu Xiangyi squinted at her, the sneer on the corner of her mouth was undisguised, and asked, "I haven't said that I agree or disagree, what is my mother doing in such a hurry?"
Fu Zhirong's face turned green when she was scolded, and she glared at her and said, "You are a daughter's family, I said that I would go back and discuss with your father, it is responsible for you!
Not to be outdone, Yi Jingxiao asked: "What, what does Mrs. Gu mean, talking about family affairs with my Yi family, is it a loss of the Gu family's face?"
The non-negotiable tone made Fu Zhirong's tone soften suddenly: "Where, the prince of the world said that he was laughing." ”
Gu Xiangyi didn't plan to tease her anymore, her eyes moved from Fu Zhirong to Fang Yuchun, and she said seriously word by word: "I don't agree." ”
"Why?" Fang Yuchun was a little surprised.
She calculated every step, but she didn't expect the girl to disagree!
Is she really not interested in Yi Jingxiao, or is this tall branch she dislikes not tall enough?
A sentence of disagreement was like a thunder exploding on the ground, and Fang Yuchun's ears roared.
"I think I'm still young, and my biological mother asked me not to marry people I don't know before she died, I don't know anything about the prince of Jingde, and I haven't even met a few times, so it's a little inappropriate to talk about marriage when I come up. ”
The light in Yi Jingxiao's eyes slowly dimmed, this scene was a little more real in Gu Xiangyi's eyes, which made her a little suspicious, this prince... Isn't it really interesting to you?
No, no, absolutely not, it's just a cooperative relationship, how can she think about it?
These few words shocked Fu Shi and the others, Gu Ruoyi took two steps back, and felt that her steps seemed to be in her hands, and her brain was amused into mosquitoes, buzzing.
Why didn't she agree? Even Gu Ruoyi could hear that those so-called inappropriate words were just excuses, if she had already agreed, why did she refuse?
She is obviously dressed up to climb the high branches, so why does she turn a blind eye to the heart of the prince? What does she want?
Fang Yuchun couldn't wait to make this family affair together, and said anxiously: "The sixth girl is too worried, the son of the world is something I grew up watching, I know best, but he is not the kind of frivolous son who casually complains about his sincerity, you look at your beautiful appearance, is it just right to follow the prince?"
"Sister Xiang in our family is still young, at least the sisters in front of her have to marry out before she can get married!" Fu Shi came back to his senses, and then gushed endlessly: "And Sister Xiang is a concubine, the prince doesn't care, but Sister Xiang herself cares, in case outsiders talk about Sister Xiang'er's status and climb the high branches of the mansion, this is the girl of our Gu family!"
Fang Shi said without concessions: "That's not what I said, as the saying goes, I'd rather demolish a temple than a marriage?" I looked at the two children as a match made in heaven, and looked back to see if it was suitable, if it was really suitable, then we could take care of the two families and marry two surnames, isn't it good?"
Fu and Fang are now chess opponents. One tried his best to match the two, and the other couldn't let the two of them succeed, and the verbal battle was sentence after sentence, making the scene a little funny.
