Chapter 149: The Lady
As soon as he entered the hall, all eyes looked over, Yu Xiaoling said in his heart, and someone should ask next: "Which little girl is this?"
Sure enough, there was a smiling Mimi, an old lady as big as her grandmother Wu, who asked this sentence word for word, and raised her hand to beckon her over. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Yu Xiaoling laughed secretly in her heart, and gave a courtesy to all the ladies in a thoughtful manner, and then heard Wu say to the old lady: "It's my granddaughter, the child of the Yu family." ”
Wu said, and Xiao Ling beckoned: "Come here, let Mrs. Qing Ningbo take a look at you." ”
It turned out to be Jiang Congqing's grandmother, Yu Xiaoling was slightly surprised, and after thinking about it, he felt that he still looked down on Cheng Moyi's courtesy, I am afraid that the ladies present are either rich or expensive.
Naturally, the ladies who are either rich or noble are not so interested in her, the granddaughter of Beicheng. Even a few noble ladies with pearl hair, showing a casual smile, turned their heads, and went to talk again.
In contrast, a few wives who seemed to be civil officials sitting farther away looked at Yu Xiaoling several times. Yu Xiaoling pondered, Cheng's estimated that she didn't have any intention of marrying high, especially now that the Yu family was not as good as before, Cheng's was afraid that she would be angry when she married into a high-ranking family, so she was mostly interested in asking people who were similar or even slightly lower than her family.
After thinking about it, Wu had already asked her to give a salute to several ladies with loud and terrifying names. The ladies praised her lovingly, but there was a hint of carelessness in their eyes.
They were careless, and Yu Xiaoling naturally didn't bother to serve, so he didn't say a word superfluously, and only came according to the etiquette. It wasn't until she saw a lady of a girl's family standing behind her, and her eyes fell on her seriously, that Yu Xiaoling was surprised and said that there was still someone interested in her, and she didn't know who this person was.
In the next breath, she immediately understood. The girl standing behind the lady suddenly showed her white teeth, laughed, and shouted softly, "Sister Yu!"
It turned out to be Xu Pan's cousin, the county lord of Lanqiao, so the lady who looked at her was Xu Pan's only aunt, Xu Shi? Yu Xiaoling couldn't see that she didn't look like Xu Pan, so she only accepted her thoughts and greeted Gu Chuyu.
Gu Chuyu smiled and took two steps forward, and took Yu Xiaoling's hand very affectionately, Yu Xiaoling hurriedly said, "Sister Gu, when did you come?" ”
As soon as the two of them spoke, they attracted a lot of surprised eyes. After all, Gu Chuyu is a person in the circle of noble relatives and meritorious deeds, how could he become intimate with a girl from the Wenchen family who is below the third grade.
Xu naturally understood this truth, and said first: "You see that these two children are fateful, but they only met once by chance at the Lantern Festival this year, and they were like old friends at first sight, which is better than handkerchiefs for many years!"
What she said was quite subtle, but the meaning was clear, firstly, it pointed out the reason why the two met, and secondly, she faintly mentioned her identity for Yu Xiaoling, you know, Gu Chuyu's handkerchief is handed over, I am afraid that it is the county lord and the county lord or something.
Everyone really looked at Yu Xiaoling a few more times, Gu Chuyu didn't think it was enough, and helped Yu Xiaoling straighten the collar of her clothes, and said with a smile: "Is my sister in a hurry, the collar is ...... off."
Yu Xiaoling was very surprised by this kind of lifting, she couldn't figure out what the Gu family's mother and daughter meant, so she had to cooperate with Gu Chuyu's every move in a good manner, and said: "Thank you, sister, I just walked like the wind under my feet, and I came in a hurry." ”
is neither flattered nor stunned, strained, neither humble nor arrogant, at her age, it is a rare thing. Xu Shi identified Yu Xiaoling with a look at his words, and he thought a little more about his home in his heart.
Yu Xiaoling and Gu Chuyu smiled and said a few words, and it was almost the auspicious time, Min came over to beckon Yu Xiaoling to go down and prepare, and she took off everyone's eyes.
Rao is Yu Xiaoling is calm and calm, being stared at by a group of noble ladies, it is also uncomfortable, as soon as she leaves the hall, she is greatly relieved.
The eldest cousin-in-law, Min Shi, looked at it and smiled.
Min is a Jiangnan girl who has learned the eight classics, and her father was the left political envoy of Jiangxi at the time, and Yu Xiaoling's uncle Cheng Simian is a colleague.
Although Min's father is one level higher than Cheng Simian's official, as far as the family is concerned, the Min family can be regarded as a high-level marriage, so Yu Xiaoling looks at her style of acting, she is very cautious, and there is nothing wrong with her words and deeds, which is rare.
"When my cousin-in-law didn't leave the pavilion, did she often do this?" Yu Xiaoling couldn't help but ask when she saw her smiling beautifully.
Min didn't expect her to suddenly ask herself, but she thought seriously about her words, and said in an official dialect with a thick Wu Nong's soft language: "I haven't gone through much, I made a marriage with your cousin early." ”
When Yu Xiaoling saw her mention Cheng Moze, she didn't have the shame of a new daughter-in-law, her eyebrows were clear, and she was slightly strange, but she felt that she didn't want to say much, so she opened her mouth.
Cheng Moyi's rite of honor has been completed, and Yu Xiaoling, who is a praiser, has already been remembered by many caring ladies as Cheng wishes.
When she resigned from the Wu family, the Feng family and others, and called someone to find Yu Ji, and when she wanted to go back with Yu Ji, she met Gu Chuyu and Xu who came from nowhere.
Yu Xiaoling was half of the main family, and he didn't dare to snub Mrs. Gu and the county lord of Lanqiao, just as they were going back, so they went out together.
Xu still had a lot of appreciation for Xiao Ling, and asked her with a smile what she had learned, what she did, how many brothers and sisters she had in the family, and so on.
When Yu Xiaoling said that he had a brother and a brother, he seemed to see a smile flashing in Mrs. Gu's eyes.
Then, she heard Xu ask: "Oh, yes, your brother is not young, he should have been married a long time ago, when will he get married?"
When she asked this, Yu Xiaoling felt that Gu Chuyu's hand holding her tightened slightly.
didn't have time to think about it, Yu Xiaoling replied originally: "My brother has not decided on a family affair yet. ”
As soon as she finished speaking, a glimmer of light flashed across the corner of her eyes.
"Oh, that's it, it's true, after all, it's just out of the filial piety period. Xu said.
Yu Xiaoling replied "exactly", the three of them were about to walk to the door, and Yu Ji turned around from the side path. He was wearing a bamboo-blue dark flower robe, with a long figure, a handsome face, and his gestures were everyone's demeanor, I didn't know, I thought he was the grandson of Beicheng, as soon as he walked here, he attracted the attention of Gu's mother and daughter.
The hand that bent Yu Xiaoling's arm tightened again, and then, Yu Xiaoling heard Gu Chuyu and couldn't hide his excitement: "Your eldest brother is here." ”
As soon as Gu Chuyu's words fell, Yu Xiaoling saw Xu's eyebrows quickly raised, and his eyes fell on Yu Ji fixedly.
