Chapter 3 Calling Each Other
The Gu family of Wujun is also a big family of the Southern Jin Dynasty, and the courtyard of the mansion is magnificent. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 The maid led Gu Yuan and A Luo all the way through the corridor to the main courtyard on the east side, and looked at the sister-in-law from the side branch.
I saw Gu Yuan wearing an ordinary girl's shirt and skirt, with blue and gray plain clothing, even her appearance was a little beautiful, and it was not eye-catching, but her demeanor was calm and calm, and she had a bearing different from her identity and age.
This maid is also a powerful person beside Mrs. Gu's Lu family, and she is used to being extravagant, so she naturally looks down on Gu Yuan's identity and dress, and she is much more face-saving than this foster sister-in-law in Gu's mansion on weekdays.
She walked and looked back at Gu Yuan and Ah Luo, who was cowering behind her: "Today's mansion invites all the distinguished guests of the Wujun family, each of them is noble, Aunt Yuan should be careful, don't lose your manners, let people look at the jokes in our mansion." "It's very contemptuous.
A Luo's face turned red, and she wanted to help Gu Yuan argue a few words but was a little cowardly.
Gu Yuan smiled and said softly, "No." ”
The main courtyard is tall and spacious, the floor tiles made of bluestone polishing and smooth, the carved painting wall Zhu Liang, several beautiful maids in front of the courtyard hold incense and stand respectfully, the sound of music and dance of drumming and blowing sheng comes from the courtyard, so it is not lively.
The maid took Gu Yuan's master and servant to the gate of the courtyard and said, "You wait here." "Straight in.
After a while, I heard someone from the courtyard come out and say, "Madame, please let my sister-in-law in." ”
The spacious courtyard is crowded at this time, with all kinds of precious flowers, competing for beauty, among which the carpet is spread out for people to trample on, there are table tables in the four places, the maidservants are holding fine wine and fruit cakes and meat and standing beside them, and many sisters-in-law Lang Jun Yan or sitting or standing, all of them are elegant, extraordinary demeanor, and they are clearly from the children of the family.
Seeing that the maid and maid were leading Gu Yuan in, they all turned their heads and took a look, and the gentlemen saw that it was just a sister-in-law who was dressed in ordinary clothes and had a beautiful face, and they were not interested in looking at it more, and they were still talking and laughing loudly.
The group of sisters-in-law felt curious, and looked up and down at Gu Yuan, who was dressed in extremely ordinary clothes, and discussed.
"Ah Yun, is that also your sister?" A young sister-in-law looked at Gu Yuan and smiled sarcastically, "Why don't you dress as even the most inferior maid in my family?" ”
"Yes, Ah Yun, who is she, how did she get called here?" There is a sister-in-law who echoes it.
Gu Yun glanced at Gu Yuan and looked away in disgust: "Where is she my sister, but she is a side branch and settled, my aunt is kind-hearted, seeing that she is lonely and helpless, let her borrow it to live in the mansion." On weekdays, I don't even go out of the courtyard gate, but now I come here to be embarrassed. ”
"It turned out to be a dilapidated household, and I said that your Gu family is not as good as my Zhu family, and it will not be so shabby." The sister-in-law who had asked earlier chuckled and said very contemptuously.
Gu Yun was originally going to be strong, but she was overpowered by this sister-in-law of the Zhu family in everything, and she was already full of resentment, and now she was even more annoyed, and she hated Gu Yuan even more in her heart, she was a slut who harmed herself and was laughed at, and said fiercely: "Later, I will give A-Niang and let people drive her out." ”
"Ah Yun, she is also a poor person, after all, she is our sister, why should you bother with her." Gu Yao, who was sitting on the side with a fan, gently persuaded that she and Gu Yun were sisters, and they were both sisters-in-law of the Gu family.
Gu Yuan, who didn't know what the sisters-in-law were talking about, followed the maid forward, she was no stranger to such a party, in the previous life, she was the most favored wife of the Northern Yan Monarch, I don't know how many palace banquets she has presided over, and the celebrities she has seen don't know how many, what a golden hall and jade horse, extravagant and lascivious. So on top of this ordinary family gathering, she was unmoved at all, and watched all this indifferently.
Turn the nine-curved covered bridge, go up to a water pavilion in the courtyard, the water pavilion stands on the sparkling blue wave pool, transparent in all directions, only a few thick and hugging giant pillars support, hanging light silk yarn, swaying with the gentle breeze. In the water pavilion are sitting several ladies with their hair combed high and dressed in gorgeous clothes, chatting idly and watching music and dance.
Seeing Gu Yuan coming across the covered bridge, the eyes of several ladies moved from music and dance to her. As expected, Gu Yuan's too simple dress made these ladies of the family frown, faintly disdainful. The eldest lady of the Gu family, Lu Shi, who was sitting in the middle, looked even more indifferent, and was very reluctant to see Gu Yuan more.
But when Gu Yuan arrived in front of the water pavilion, when Ying Ying bowed, Mrs. Gu still showed a smile and said, "Ah Yuan, come in and talk." ”
When Gu Yuan walked up, he smiled and said to her: "These are the ladies of the Zhu family, the Zhang family and the Lu family of Wu County, you go and give them a gift." ”
Mrs. Zhu was born petite and mellow, although she was a little old, she was still well-maintained, she glanced at Gu Yuan, pulled the corners of her mouth slightly, she had seen it, and she didn't talk to Gu Yuan, so naturally she didn't look down on Gu Yuan's identity.
Mrs. Zhang is the youngest of several ladies, she is delicate, and she is also the most admired beauty of weakness in the Southern Jin Dynasty, she bowed her head slightly to Gu Yuan, and also turned her face away and didn't want to say more.
Only this Mrs. Lu not only let Gu Yuan get up, but also smiled and asked her to come close to take a closer look for herself, and only nodded after a while, and smiled with Mrs. Gu: "Several sisters-in-law in the house are excellent, not to mention Aunt Yun and Aunt Yao, even this sister-in-law Yuan is also liked by people, or Mrs. You have a good upbringing." ”
When Mrs. Gu heard him say this, her eyebrows and eyes widened and she smiled: "Mrs. Lu is too awarded, you can look at it as her blessing." ”
Gu Yuan's originally puzzled heart chuckled, she was afraid that she didn't know what was there, and she had to be on guard.
