Chapter 8: The Great Disappointment
Compared with Gu Chao, who had only known each other for a few days just now, the two princes were much more familiar with Gu Xi, especially Yu Wenheng, since he returned to the capital six years ago, the Marquis of Weiyuan's Mansion has often come and gone.
The princes were enlightened and sensible early, although they didn't grow up in Beijing, they also saw a lot of beautiful women.
But they will never forget the touch in their hearts when they saw their aunt Gu Xi for the first time after returning to Beijing, it turned out that this is the real beauty.
It's a pity that Gu Xi was twenty-six or seventeen years old at that time, and she was already the mother of three children, although her appearance was in her prime, but such a mature beauty was not something that young boys at the age of ** knew how to appreciate, which was a pity in the eyes of the princes.
Over the years, I have inevitably wondered in my heart, what should my aunt who is in the prime of cardamom look like?
Anyway, it's not like Pei Jinxin, she has a face as handsome as her uncle Pei Tingyan, but she has been spoiled with an arrogant temper, which doesn't match her appearance at all.
But the two princes never thought that today in the Qingzhou Yuan Mansion, this regret would be made up, and the aunt of Cardamom suddenly appeared in front of them.
In such a hot and dry weather, I felt a cool breeze blowing in my face, and the heat disappeared.
The wide-sleeved shirt in light blue color is embroidered with only a finger-wide rose branch pattern embroidered on the neckline and cuffs. Tie a Hunan skirt of the same color, and only embroider a finger-wide rose branch pattern on the skirt. There is a white jade butterfly tied around the waist, and there are no other accessories, and the whole tone looks extremely elegant.
Because he is still young, his hair is still combed with green silk, and the light blue hairband is matched with two chic bead flowers, only the two thumb-sized southern pearls on the earrings are like the finishing touch, making the whole person appear fresh and not simple, faintly revealing a trace of luxury.
"The old man has seen two highnesses. ”
"Your Highnesses are well. ”
The old lady took Doudou and saluted the two princes.
Only then did the two princes come to their senses, and the jade-like girl in front of them was the second girl of the Yuan family, and she was definitely not the aunt of the cardamom years they imagined.
Yu Wenheng's gaze swept over Doudou's little face, and at a glance he saw the shallow small pear vortex on her smiling lips.
It turned out that the second girl of Yuan only looked like her aunt, but she was exactly the same as her mother Gu Chao, but this is also very rare, such an outstanding beauty can still be passed down from generation to generation.
He quickly stood up and walked quickly towards the two, and after returning the salute, he personally helped the old lady up: "The old lady has tormented our two brothers, please take a seat." ”
The fourth prince sneered in his heart, the second emperor brother is used to pretending to play a child, and he was obviously stunned when he saw his sister-in-law, but now he only cares about supporting the old lady, so that he seems to be gentle and polite, and he is not moved by beauty, do you think you can deceive the shrewd Lord Yuan? hehe......
But this is fine, it is more convenient for him to say hello to his sister-in-law first.
There was a smile between his delicate eyebrows and eyes, Ah Xiao was quick-eyed, and the second cousin of the Yuan family, who was so outstanding, had been targeted by him early.
He bowed down and returned the salute to Doudou and said, "Hello second cousin, I am your fourth cousin Yu Wenkai." ”
After the word "cousin" came out, the four princes smiled even more happily. secretly made a decision in his heart, from now on, he must talk about his relatives from his sister-in-law, so that Ah Xiao is his cousin-in-law, it's wonderful!
Who is your cousin? Doudou couldn't help but complain secretly.
He looks like a human dog, but his brain seems to be sick, and he laughs like a fool!
I really wanted to drag this thick-skinned guy out and beat him up, but when he thought that he was here to pretend to be a lady today, Doudou had no choice but to purse his lips slightly, lowered his head and saluted: "The folk girl has seen the four princes." ”
Gentle and gentle, dignified and generous, there is really no shortage of everything, and Rao is the most picky grandmother in the palace can't find half a fault.
However, the fourth prince, who had long been numb to such a lady, saw that she was so boring, and the smile on his face suddenly froze.
In the tea pavilion the day before yesterday, Ah Xiao mentioned that the undisguised joy on the face of the second girl of the Yuan family was still vivid, and he thought that she would be a special girl.
Behold...... She is actually this wooden and rigid appearance, no matter how good-looking the wood is, isn't it still wood? Lord Yuan himself is such an interesting person, how to raise a girl, but there is no difference between those poor and sour and rotten Confucians.
Before he saw the real person, he just felt that Ah Xiao's taste was light, and at this time he almost wondered if that guy's brain was in water!
Sure enough, he never lets girls get close to him, except for being able to distinguish between good looks, he doesn't even understand basic tastes.
A really cute girl is either clever and intelligent, gentle and lovely, or delicate and lively, and her appearance is not the most important thing. Even if he is arrogant and rude like Pei Jinxin, he is more vivid than the well-behaved wooden lady.
It was a big disappointment for him.
Doudou didn't care what he thought, and gently moved Lianbu to her place and sat down.
And Fu Shaoyun, who has been silent, can only see the doorway at this time, and the mood that has been depressed since yesterday suddenly brightened, and a trace of an imperceptible smile flashed on his face like jade.
Cousin Yuan has never been a cautious lady, and she deliberately made this appearance today not to attract the attention of the two princes, but to make them think that she has an empty appearance, but she is a woman who is stubbornly rude and has no interest.
This shows that neither his aunt nor Cousin Yuan, nor Cousin Yuan himself, have any intention of having anything to do with the princes, and he was purely a mediocre person last night.
His chance is still there!
Gu Chao has been looking at Doudou since he entered the house.
Others don't know the details of this adopted daughter, can she still know? has always been a bold and thick-skinned, wild girl who can't stay for half a moment, and today she looks like this, it's not strange that she has a ghost in her heart!
It's just that......
In her opinion, this is not like a way to make the princes feel good, men are all clamoring to marry a wife and marry a virtuous person, but the real situation is that no one likes a wooden lady with a board and a glance.
What's more, in her opinion, Doudou's simple dress today has pressed ten points of beauty into seven points.
What exactly is Yuan Zheng's plan?
Gu Chao was confused.
Yuan Zheng was very satisfied with the expression of the second daughter, cleared his throat and said: "Yuan'er, although His Royal Highness the prince has a noble status, today is a family banquet, you can be casual. ”
Doudou stood up in a proper manner: "Yes, father." ”
Gu Chaoxin twitched.
The banquet began smoothly, and the guests and hosts were happy.
The fourth prince was disappointed, but he still couldn't believe that Huo Xiao was so visionless, he risked being killed by Lord Yuan, and said boldly: "I heard that the second girl of Yuan has been taught by Lord Yuan himself to learn qin, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was a child, and today's good night is rare, I don't know if we can have this blessing?" This means that I want to listen to the second girl of Yuan play a song.
Have you heard? You just talked nonsense! Daddy personally taught him how to play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, who did you, an outsider, listen to? Doudou wanted to pinch the four princes to death.
She raised her eyes and saw that there was no opposition in Yuan Zheng's eyes, could it be that her father said that she had leaked her mouth? She had no choice but to bow her head and say, "Then please ask the fourth prince for more advice." (To be continued.) )
