Chapter 20: Annexes

In the south courtyard of Gu Mansion, Gu Yuan looked at the dress brought by the maidservant, and said coldly: "The eldest lady asked you to send it?" ”

Now everyone in the Gu Mansion knows that this sister-in-law of the side branch has been valued by the eldest lady, and her identity is different from the past, the maid did not dare to slack off, and bowed and said: "It was Da Langjun who asked the maid to send it." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”

The dress held by the maid in her hand is as thin as nothing, it is made of precious square empty yarn, and the lake-green colored yarn is finely and densely woven with cloud embroidery, which looks very luxurious but too light, and there is a plate of flower hairpins that are held with the dress, which are also precious things.

Gu Yuan looked at the dress, his eyes tightened, but he didn't let Ah Luo take it, but just asked the maid, "Does the eldest lady know about this?" ”

The maid said: "The eldest lady has gone to the southern suburbs of the courtyard, and Lang Jun instructed the sister-in-law to change her dress and wait with the maid." ”

If Mrs. Gu knew that she would definitely stop her, she wouldn't want to send Gu Yuan to the crown prince, at least not yet. Gu Yuan sneered, it seems that Gu Tongzhi, the eldest gentleman of the Gu family, is very attentive to himself, and he doesn't know what makes him so defensive about himself, so he even hides that Mrs. Gu wants to send her to the prince.

"Ah Luo, change my clothes for me," her eyes were cold, "I'll go with them to the southern suburbs in a moment." ”

Changing into her dress, Gu Yuan stopped Ah Luo's hand that wanted to comb her hair bun for her: "That's fine, you don't have to wear those hairpin rings." She took an ebony hairpin, curled her long black hair high behind her head, and went out of the room without looking at herself in the mirror.

The maid who was waiting outside looked at her dress, was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Why is my sister-in-law dressed like this, Lang Jun has ordered ......?"

Gu Yuan looked at her lightly: "I received Da Lang's wishes, but that dress is too luxurious, so it's better not to wear it." Although her words were light, they had a majesty that could not be questioned, so that the maid did not dare to say anything more, so she had to respond.

Following a few maids and maids to the outside of the mansion, Gu Yuan clearly saw a maid still holding a handful of silk tongs in her hand, she couldn't help but sneer again, it seems that Gu Tongzhi has already prepared.

The prince lives in a courtyard of the Lu family in the southern suburbs, located on the bank of the Songling River, the scenery by the mountains and rivers is extremely beautiful, although it is another courtyard, but the courtyard pavilions inside are not worse than the main courtyard of the Lu family by half a point, for the prince to stay is even more colorful, so lively.

When Gu Yuan's car arrived at the side gate of the courtyard, it was already unitary, and the night was gradually thickening, and when he got off the donkey cart, he heard the sound of the sheng flute singing from a distance, and the courtyard was brightly lit, reflecting the Songling River next to the courtyard, which was not dazzling.

Gu Yuan raised his eyes and looked at the southern suburbs, his expression was a little trance, the previous life was also in this southern suburbs courtyard, the Wujun family banqueted the prince and Jiankang, the family of Langjun and the sister-in-law of the family, the Gu family, the Zhu family and the Zhang family all sent a concubine as the prince's concubine, how could the sister-in-law who was originally from the family have to be taken a look at by the prince, and maybe he could be brought back to Jiankang and given a position, who would have thought...... She shook her head, the royal family of the Southern Jin Dynasty was already rotten to the bone, and even if there were many outstanding sons and daughters of the nobles of the family, they could only watch the country slowly decay.

"Are you the sister-in-law of the Gu family?" A woman's question came from behind her, and when Gu Yuan looked back, she saw a young sister-in-law dressed in a light silk dress with a petite figure around her waist walking towards her.

Gu Yuan owed: "Yes, dare to ask my sister-in-law what ......"

The sister-in-law smiled, and took a few steps forward to Gu Yuan's side: "I'm Zhang Wuniang, and I'm also here for a banquet in this courtyard." ”

Gu Yuan looked at her dressed in gorgeous clothes and understood, this one was the concubine sent by the Zhang family to the prince.

"It's just that why are you dressed like this?" Zhang Wuniang looked at Gu Yuan in a homely dress in surprise and disdain, "Don't you know that today is a banquet for His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”

Gu Yuan smiled faintly: "I am from the side branch of the Gu family, and I am not used to this gorgeous costume, so I ......"

The sister-in-law's eyebrows were upside down, and her face changed: "You're just a side girl?" I even dared to come to this courtyard. She glanced at the maid who followed behind Gu Yuan very disdainfully: "It's really embarrassing to me, I thought you were a serious sister-in-law of the Gu family, and I said so many things to you." The Gu family is really confused, and they are not afraid of being blamed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for sending you with such an identity. ”

She said that, she didn't look at Gu Yuan, and walked towards the side door with her head held high. Gu Yuan smiled, didn't say anything, and slowly entered the door.

The banquet hall was already full of guests, and the tall chief spread out a jade bamboo couch mat, and the prince was holding the beautiful concubine half-lying on the couch, and was laughing loudly with the Wu County Guard on the side, and the beautiful concubine in his arms was also laughing and trembling, and her snow-white chest was about to shake out of the tulle dress, so that the eyes of several Wu County officials on the side were straight.

The next chief sitting was Chen Jun Xie Jiawulang Xie Xuan, Taiyuan Wang Jiashilang Wang Yan, as well as Lu Jin and Gu Tongzhi, these family gentlemen, they sat in one place and talked elegantly, and the indulgence of the prince and others was very clear. The outstanding appearance and demeanor of these children of the family attracted the attention of the sisters-in-law and maids, and they blushed and heartbeat when they saw it.

The maid led Gu Yuan to a remote corner of the hall and sat down, where three couches and small tables had already been prepared, separated from the side by a screen, and when Gu Yuan sat down, he had already seen Zhang Shiniang and another young sister-in-law sitting on the couch. Seeing Gu Yuan coming, Zhang Shiniang couldn't hide the disgust and disdain on her face, and whispered a few words to the sister-in-law next to her, and the two got up arrogantly and instructed the maid to carry her couch farther away, refusing to get too close to Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan snorted, it seemed that she was despised and isolated by these two sisters-in-law, but she didn't care, so she let them talk about it.

When she turned her head, she saw Gu Yun and Gu Yao sitting on the couch not far away, the sister-in-law of the Gu family, who is usually arrogant, can only sit on the bottom couch at this time, the sister-in-law of the Lu family and the sister-in-law of the Li family who came from Jiankang are the daughters of top families, and their identities are naturally much more noble than them, so they can only sit next to them.

Lu Xianniang is already one of the focal points in the hall, her beauty is on par with the beautiful concubine in the prince's arms, but she is more noble and elegant, and there are few people in the family who do not pay attention to it. She sat on the couch and gently played the fan, and said a few words of laughter with Li Huiniang, and that smile taught many young gentlemen to be reluctant to blink, full of admiration.

Gu Yun saw that Lu Xianniang and Li Huiniang from Jiankang easily attracted everyone's attention, and the two sisters could only sit far away to accompany them, and even Lu Jin was far away, and whispered hatefully: "It's just that Jiankang is here, and there is no one in my eyes like this, I just can't look down on it!" ”

Gu Yao hurriedly grabbed her and shook her head: "Don't say it, they are distinguished guests." Looking at Lu Xianniang's gaze, it was also complicated and difficult to distinguish, I heard that this Lu Xianniang was known for her talent, and she was quite valued by the Jiankang family, but she was afraid that her status was very different.

The prince who was on the table seemed to be talking to the county guard at this time, stroked his palms and laughed, and said loudly: "I heard that Wu County is rich in products, and I came here to find a copper and iron mine!" He instructed the attendants around him: "Go and call Feng Wenyi, he will guard Wu County to find mines for me in the future, how can I not come to see these people in Wu County!" ”

Gu Yuan's hand behind the screen in the far corner trembled, her body froze, she lost her previous indifference, her face gradually turned white, she raised her eyes and looked at the door of the hall through the screen, she was about to see him again.
