Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Plum Garden (Three Watches)
"Let's go, don't let the flies spoil the good mood. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Gu Yanqi said to Gu Yanjiu with a smile, and he also ignored Ning Whispering.
After speaking, he bypassed Ning and whispered, and left with Gu Yanqi talking and laughing.
Seeing this, Ning Qingyan nodded softly to say hello, and strode to follow Gu Yanqi.
It's not that she wants to talk to Ning Qingyu, she and Gu Yanqi are not the same, she and Ning Qingyu are cousins after all, if they are like Gu Yanqi, there will be a scandal of discord between the sisters of Anding Houfu.
Ning looked at the backs of the three of them with hatred in a whisper, his eyes full of resentment.
The three of them were lucky that when they arrived at the gate of the palace, the guards inside happened to open the gate.
They didn't have to wait long, and the three of them entered the palace. Because of the camellia banquet, there are a lot of people entering the palace today, and carriages and soft sedan chairs are not allowed to enter.
When he followed the palace maid to the destination, Gu Yanqi felt that his legs were about to break.
This is also one of the Queen Mother's teaching ladies, if you can't insist on walking from the palace gate to the plum garden, then, there is a special soft sedan chair that can carry you, but it is to carry you out of the palace.
The plum garden is the scene of this year's camellia feast, and the reason why the plum garden was chosen is because the plum blossoms in the plum garden are the only flowers that are still in full bloom in winter, which adds a touch of color to the depressed winter.
When they arrived, there were already figures shaking in the plum garden, and their arrival did not cause anything.
In fact, although Gu Yanqi is notorious, few people have seen her true face, and to a certain extent, the old lady protects her very well.
In order to hold the camellia feast, the whole plum garden was set up with a tent-like warm tent, and there were many charcoal fires in it, and I just walked so many ways, I didn't feel cold.
What a big deal!
Soon, people arrived in twos and threes, and the plum garden became lively for a while.
The three of them went to sign in and received their own camellia sticks.
There are two types of camellia sticks, one is tea sticks and the other is flower sticks. Girls hold flower sticks, boys hold tea sticks, and if both parties are interested, tea sticks and flower sticks can be exchanged.
Because it was not yet time, the Queen Mother did not appear, and let them move on their own.
At this time, it is actually the time when young men and women look at each other, the nobles who are familiar with each other get together, and the aristocratic sons and brothers who have had friendships are together, and the single ones represent those who are not popular.
At this time, Gu Yanqi and the three of them looked a little special.
Ning Qingyan looked around, saw a few noble girls she was familiar with, thought for a while and asked Gu Yanqi, "Cousin, I have a few familiar sisters over there, do you want to go over and play together for a while?" I can introduce you to them. ”
Ning Qingyan said this, firstly, he didn't want to stand alone like this to attract attention, and secondly, he sold it to Gu Yanqi.
You must know that in the aristocratic circle, the first thing that young ladies look at is their life experience, if their background is not qualified, no one is willing to accept you, but someone to guide is another matter, no one wants to offend a noble girl in vain, so basically there is a noble girl to recommend, and everyone will give this face.
Gu Yanqi didn't want to go, after all, she didn't come on a blind date, just for her brother...... and Li Yue, she glanced at her brother and asked him what he thought with her eyes.
Gu Yanjiu bowed, he hoped that his sister could make more little sisters, he knew the power of connections better than anyone else, although he was also afraid that Xiao Qi would be wronged, after all, Xiao Qi was just an orphan girl.
However, he can't always protect Xiao Qi under his wings, Xiao Qi must know that people's hearts are sinister, otherwise, Xiao Qi will only be taken advantage of.
"Brother, tell me which daughter you like, and I'll help you find out the news." Gu Yanqi stuck out his tongue and said playfully.
"Stinky girl! If you have a crush on any son-in-law, you think it is better than Li Yue's boy, just come to my brother. Gu Yanjiu's face flushed, looking at Gu Yanqi's cunning expression, his eyes rolled, and he also quipped.
When Gu Yanqi heard this, he thought of the masked man...... Will he come?
Even if he came, he didn't know him, and since he was wearing a mask, he naturally didn't want her to see his true face.
Thinking of the purpose of coming to the Camellia Banquet, she shook off these thoughts that she shouldn't have, and pulled Ning Qingyan towards the nobles gathered.
Ning Qingyan quipped, "You have a really good relationship with your cousin." ”
"I still envy your mother and father for loving you so much." Gu Yanqi said with a smile, my brother is so good to himself, it makes people jealous!
Ning nodded softly, yes! Although his brother is not as good as his cousin to his cousin, he is not bad, and he still has his mother and father who love him, what is there to envy?
My cousin spoils my cousin so much, and there is also the reason why the two of them depend on each other! Thinking of this, a trace of sympathy flashed in her eyes, and her cousin ...... It's not easy, either.
Seeing that Ning Qingyan wanted to open it quickly, Gu Yanqi nodded, the son can be taught and knows how to be satisfied.
People who are too greedy will always end up with nothing, just like themselves in their previous lives.
The two came to the five or six noble girls, and Ning Qingyan stepped forward to greet her, "Yingying, Shuangshuang, you have also received the invitation, it's good." ”
The two noble girls saw that Ning Qingyan was also happy to step forward and take her hand, chattering non-stop, and Gu Yan looked at her boredly.
After a while, after the three of them finished talking about the old days, Ning Qingyan introduced Gu Yanqi to them, "This is my cousin Gu Yanqi." ”
Then he pointed to the girl with the round face and said to Gu Yanqi, "Cousin, this is Yingying, Guan Yingying, the niece of Yongnan Hou, you can call her Yingying." ”
"This is Zhao Shuang'er, the only daughter of Lord Zhao of Dali Temple, you can call her Shuangshuang." He pointed to another girl.
Guan Yingying was okay, she nodded at Gu Yanqi, and Gu Yanqi also nodded politely at her.
Then Zhao Shuang'er didn't speak so well, she squinted at Gu Yanqi, looked at her fiery red clothes, a trace of jealousy flashed in her eyes, and then she had a condescending expression, "Miss Gu, you are the legendary arrogant and arrogant Miss Anding Houfubiao!" ”
Gu Yanqi didn't even look at her, just ignored it, looked at a girl in the distance, and thought about whether to come forward and say hello.
At this moment, the girl also saw Gu Yanqi, who was dressed in a fiery red, her eyes lit up, and she walked towards this side.
And Zhao Shuang'er saw that Gu Yanqi actually ignored her, and suddenly felt that she had lost face, her face was ugly, and she was angry at her, "Miss Gu, Miss Ben is talking to you, didn't you hear?" ”
Gu Yanqi's eyes were cold, and he was about to say something, but when he saw the county lord of Anyang walking straight towards him, he gave up. She smiled, and was about to greet her.
At this moment, Zhao Shuang'er was annoyed and angry, and pushed Gu Yanqi to push her, pushing her to the ground, and shouting, "Are you deaf?" ”
