Chapter 4 The Lady
These ladies Gu Yuan are no strangers, she had also dealt with them in her previous life, and she still knew a lot about their situation. The three in front of www.biquge.info are the wives of the Zhu, Zhang, and Lu families in the four major families of Wu County, and Su Ri and the Gu family are also often in contact, the Zhu family and the Gu family are equally powerful, even if the difference is only one or two points, the Zhang family's power is slightly weaker, only the Lu family has been hidden, but the other three families have been jealous, Gu Yuan has heard that the eldest lady of the Lu family is related to the Southern Jin Dynasty royal family, which is really important for the Wu County family that has gradually declined.
It's just that in her previous life, even though Gu Yuan had always behaved exquisitely and cutely, and her appearance was outstanding, she won the favor of Gu's eldest lady Lu, and the ordinary banquets also made her attend with Gu Yun and Gu Yao, as if she had really become the serious sister-in-law of the Gu family, but there were also many people who welcomed her. Only these ladies had never looked at her squarely, and they all thought she was a joke.
But now why does this Mrs. Lu want to treat herself like this now, obviously she has been very low-key and cautious in this life, and now Mrs. Gu does not want to see her, she and the Lu, Zhang, and Zhu families have never been masked, what is the reason for this? This seems to be different from the previous life, Gu Yuan was already very vigilant in his heart at this time, paying attention to the expressions of Mrs. Gu and the others.
Mrs. Gu nodded to Gu Yuan: "Ah Yuan, sit down and talk." β
The maidservants sent a couch behind Mrs. Gu, Gu Yuan lowered her head and sat down, although she was docile and didn't say much, she was free and calm in her every move, without the restraint and cowardice of an ordinary sister-in-law, and it was not at all like what her identity should be revealed.
Mrs. Lu couldn't help but take another look, her eyebrows stretched slightly, and she looked away at the dancing dancers in the water pavilion: "After a while, it will be Duanyang, and the nobles will come to Wu County to watch the dragon boat race, and the sister-in-law of Lang Jun from the Xie family of Jiankang Wang Xie will also come with me. β
The three ladies were overjoyed, they were originally thinking about this matter, if they could make friends with the nobles in the palace and the top families in Jiankang through Mrs. Lu, it would be a great thing for the Wujun family in a remote corner.
Mrs. Gu was smiling at this time, and said to Mrs. Lu again and again: "This is also what it should be, this is also a major event in Wu County, how dare you not do your best." β
Gu Yuan lowered his head at this time, his mind was flying, what they said knew that the prince of the Southern Jin Dynasty was going to come to Wu County to watch the Dragon Boat Race, and the descendants of King Jiankang, Xie, Yuan, and Xiao Shijia would also accompany him, which was a major event in Wu County. The Gu family, the Zhu family and the Zhang family also wanted to use this to establish a relationship with the royal family and the Jiankang family.
It seems that Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Lu have reached a deal, and Gu Yuan is part of this deal. Gu Yuan's eyes gradually became gloomy, she couldn't imagine that this life would be low-key, but it would cause other troubles, and she had to think of ideas.
While the ladies were talking, they didn't let Gu Yuan leave, and they didn't seem to care if she was there. Although Gu Yuan was anxious, he still sat firmly behind Mrs. Gu, watching the music and dance quietly, and did not show much interest in their conversation, which made Mrs. Lu take another look.
"Sisters-in-law are here." The maid entered the water pavilion and bowed down with a smile.
Mrs. Gu laughed: "I'm afraid it's boring to look at the flowers, so come over and make a fuss." β
Mrs. Zhu also smiled: "It's time for them to come to the ceremony, and it's time to hold it up." β
Before the words fell, Zhu Jing and a group of sisters-in-law had already come in with a smile and bowed to the ladies: "Ah Jing will give you a salute to the ladies." "It's not the previous brutality and meanness, and it's completely naΓ―ve.
Gu Yun and Gu Yao also followed into the water pavilion, Gu Yun saw Gu Yuan behind Mrs. Gu with a straight posture and a calm expression, and suddenly became angry, and stepped forward and sneered: "I thought it was who, it turned out to be you, is this also where you should come?" β
For a while, everyone in the water pavilion looked at Gu Yun and Gu Yuan who was sitting on the couch.
Gu Yun's words were very excessive, originally Mrs. Gu asked Gu Yuan to come over, and she asked Gu Yuan to sit behind her, but no one in this water pavilion opened her mouth to help Gu Yuan say the first half of the sentence, they all looked at Gu Yuan indifferently, seeing how embarrassed she was, just because her status was really low, and Gu Yun, the sister-in-law of the Gu family, was simply different from her, they all felt that Gu Yun deserved whatever Gu Yuan said, and naturally she would not speak.
just disappointed them, there was no shame, no defense, Gu Yuan didn't even glance at Gu Yun.
She just stood up slowly, tidied up her messy dress, walked to Mrs. Gu, owed slightly, and walked straight out of the water pavilion, when she passed Gu Yun and the others, she didn't even look back, as if she hadn't seen it. The pace is unhurried, still brisk, her inconspicuous blue and gray dress is facing the gentle pool breeze, Tingting curling, like a plant on the blue wave pool. With such a demeanor, where is a sister-in-law who lives in a hermit mansion that people look down on, even these ladies and sisters-in-law of the family can't help but feel heartbroken when they see it.
She ...... How dare she be so presumptuous! Gu Yun came back to her senses for a while, remembered Gu Yuan's ignorance, and pointed at Gu Yuan, who had walked away, angry and annoyed.
Gu Yao hurriedly pulled her sleeve and persuaded in a low voice.
Mrs. Lu glanced coldly at Gu Yun, who was not relenting, it seems that this sister-in-law of the Gu family is just so educated, but the sister-in-law of the side branch has a bit of bearing, and she is also a smart person, so she wants to know how to advance and retreat. She was a little satisfied, and smiled slightly.
