Chapter 22: The Sacrifice of Women
The screen blocking Gu Yuan and the three of them was lifted, and a maid led the three of them to get up and walk towards where the prince was sitting. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info With them is the eyes of the crowd.
The Jiankang family is the accumulation of hundreds of years since the Han Dynasty, with strong wealth and lofty status, even the royal family has to let them have three points, and their sister-in-law does not even dare to think about the prince, let alone dedicate the sister-in-law to the royal family. Seeing this scene in front of them, Xie Xuan and Wang Yan both had cold faces, and looked at Gu Tongzhi with disdain and anger.
The sisters-in-law also stopped talking and laughing, looking at the three sisters-in-law who were walking towards the prince, Lu Xianniang looked at the three of them, her eyes were compassionate, and she sighed: "I didn't expect that the century-old family would fall to the point of pleasing the prince." ”
Li Huiniang asked suspiciously: "Could it be that the family of Wu County is so poor?" ”
For a while, the sisters-in-law of the Wujun family were ashamed to say nothing, although this was a decision made by the family, but they have always been proud of being the sister-in-law of the family, and they were proud of it, but they didn't expect that they had been made fun of so far today, and there was no way to justify it, which is indeed a fact.
Lu Xiu, who was sitting in the middle, suddenly exclaimed: "Isn't that Aunt Yuan?" She turned her head in surprise, "Ah Yun, your Gu Mansion actually sent Ah Yuan up?" ”
Zhu Jing and the others also saw it at this time, but they laughed: "The Gu Mansion really has a heart, and he regarded this sister-in-law as a treasure before, and he made enough momentum, it turned out to be dedicated to His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
Gu Yao and Gu Yun sisters were stunned for a while, they really hadn't heard that Gu Yuan was going to be dedicated to the prince, obviously it was a concubine in the second room, could it be a temporary change?
Lang Jun's face and the sisters-in-law's discussion Gu Yuan couldn't see it, she just silently followed the two sisters-in-law step by step to the couch where the prince was sitting, she was not afraid at all in such a crowd, but she was stung by the figure on the couch behind the prince, and approached him step by step.
Zhang Shiniang and Zhu Liuniang, who were dressed in gorgeous clothes, walked to the prince's couch, bowed down and whispered softly: "I've seen Your Highness." "There is both the elegance of the sister-in-law of the family and the delicacy of the girl, which makes it difficult not to be moved, which is also what the Zhu family and the Zhang family have already taught them.
Gu Yuan followed behind them and didn't speak, just bowed silently and stood aside.
"This is the sister-in-law from your Wujun family?" The prince looked dull and tasteless, "That's just it, and said that the women of Wu County are amorous and beautiful, I don't think it's as good as Lan Ji." He reached out and pinched the soft waist of Mei Ji in his arms.
That Lan Ji giggled, her eyes swept over Gu Yuan who was standing behind her, and said strangely, "Is that also the sister-in-law who was offered?" How to dress so ragged. ”
Gu Tongzhi, who saw what she was wearing, had a tight gaze at this time, his face was even colder, and he looked at this side without saying a word.
The prince also saw Gu Yuan, pointed at her and frowned: "This kind of appearance and dress is also a sister-in-law of a family, not even a servant, and he didn't drive it out!" ”
The little eunuch behind him stepped forward and said with a smile: "Your Highness, I heard that this sister-in-law is good at piano skills and can be called everyone, why don't you listen to her play a song and then decide whether to drive it out?" ”
Gu Yuan raised his eyes and glanced at the little eunuch, the corners of his mouth sneered slightly, sure enough, just like in his previous life, in his previous life, Gu Tongzhi also bought off the eunuch who was close to the prince, but he praised the second-room concubine who was sacrificed, and let the prince take it by his side, but in this life, he let him deal with Gu Yuan.
The prince looked at Gu Yuan, who was not very outstanding in a homely dress, suspiciously: "Good at piano? Can it be compared to Chen Chuji? "Chen Chuji is a master of the piano art in the world, and he has always been a guest of the Jiankang royal family and the family.
He glanced at the other two sisters-in-law in front of him with his head down, and said impatiently: "That's it, it's not interesting anyway, you let her play a song, if it's not good, drive it out." Then he pointed to the two sisters-in-law, "Let them stay." ”
Zhang Wuniang and Zhu Liuniang were stunned for a moment, and they were busy, and followed the maid to get up and retreat. Before going out, Zhang Shiniang glanced at Gu Yuan, who had a calm expression, snorted coldly, and thought a little proudly, I was afraid that I would be able to see the ugly state of this sister-in-law being kicked out for a while.
Sitong had already been prepared, and the maid came over with a table and a couch mat, Gu Yuan sighed, sat down on the couch, and slowly plucked the strings.
At the beginning, the sound of the piano was peaceful like a clear and quiet river, flowing slowly, moisturizing things silently and gently, just like the calm night of the Songling River outside the courtyard, the clear waves slowly murmured in the green water, and people could listen to the eyebrows stretching and smiling slightly, which seemed to be a quiet time. It's just that under Gu Yuan's slender fingers, the sound of the piano rises suddenly, as if it is as sharp as thunder and lightning, the rainstorm and wind are coming, the river is suddenly surging and rushing away, the waves roll high, hit the reef on the shore, and shatter into ten thousand waves, and like a goshawk fighting in the rainstorm sky, shuttling up in the thunder and lightning, never turning back, sad and desolate, so that the hearts of those who listen to it also roll up with the high sound of the piano, drifting in the huge waves.
Just when the sound of the piano was the most high-pitched, Gu Yuan suddenly stopped his hand and held down the strings, all the sound of the piano stopped abruptly in an instant, and everyone's hearts stopped suddenly.
"Your Highness knows that Ah Yuan is good at the piano," Gu Yuan raised his eyes to look at the angry prince and smiled, "Does Your Highness know that Ah Yuan still has an unpredictable prophet and the ability to predict good and bad fortune?" ”
