Chapter 30: Acting

Gu Chonghua's facial features are beautiful, elegant and dignified, if compared with ordinary girls, it is naturally beautiful. But compared with Gu Chongyang, Gu Chongzhu, and Gu Chongzhi, it is a little worse.

She herself doesn't bother to compete with others for her appearance, but she likes others to praise her for her talent.

Listening to Chai Xiyue's words, Gu Chonghua smiled slightly: "Cousin Xiyue is really sweet, but it's really cute." ”

She is old, and she has seen a lot more with the eldest lady in receiving people and things, so she is not happy.

Chai Xiyue said a lot, and when she saw that Gu Chonghua only said one sentence, she was a little disappointed. But she was not discouraged, but continued to say: "If you say that you are likable, who can compare to you, the eldest cousin." I have always been very envious of a famous and noble girl like you, eldest cousin, but unfortunately our Jingzhou Mansion is not as good as Hua Tianbao, an outstanding spiritual object in Beijing, and naturally we can't raise a talented girl with a dusty temperament like my eldest cousin. I met my eldest cousin today, and my wish was finally half fulfilled. ”

Gu Chonghua was curious: "What is the other half?" ”

"I admire my eldest cousin's talent and temperament very much, and if I am lucky enough to be a good sister with my eldest cousin, I will be fortunate in three lives. We are here today, and we have to live in the capital for a while before leaving, and I don't know what the house where a noble girl like my eldest cousin lives is like. I want to see and learn, and I will go back and tell people that I have the capital to talk about. ”

Chai Xiyue pursed her lips and smiled, her eyes full of expectation: "If the eldest cousin is willing, I will be cheeky to live with you these days." ”

Chai Xiyue was a little proud in her heart, she said that she had said this, Gu Chonghua would not give face.

These talented women in Kyoto are the most high-minded and good-looking.

Gu Chonghua is the eldest lady of the Qingyang Hou Mansion, if he climbs up to her, goes out to socialize with her, and becomes a celebrity in Kyoto, he will rely on his own talent and means, are you afraid that she will not be able to gain fame and fortune?

Chai Xiyue looked at Gu Chonghua intently, her eyes full of smiles.

Unexpectedly, Gu Chonghua didn't agree, but frowned and said: "There is nothing special about my house, it is the same as several younger sisters, it is usually tight." ”

Chai Xiyue's face turned pale. She is good at dancing with long sleeves, likes to be favored by others, and pleases people, I thought that she could show her strength when she arrived in the capital, but she didn't expect the first person to touch a soft nail for her.

Gu Chonghua didn't seem to see Chai Xiyue's embarrassment, she smiled slightly, and took Chai Xiyue's hand, very kind and natural, without half a point of embarrassment: "Cousin Heng Xiyue is going to live in the capital for a while, and when the old lady's birthday banquet is over, I will lead you to play in the Hou Mansion for a few days." Although the garden of our Qingyang Houfu is not a famous garden, it is different from Hubei in the end, and Cousin Xiyue can have a good experience, and it is not a trip to the capital in vain. ”

Chai Xiyue's pale face turned red again: "Thank you eldest cousin, I will be tired of my eldest cousin when the time comes." ”

"Hmm." Gu Chonghua said with a calm expression: "Cousin Xiyue doesn't have to be polite, the tea is cold, taste it quickly." ”

Chai Xiyue drank tea, and the hand holding the tea cup used a lot of force, and her knuckles were faintly white.

This is the capital, it is the Qingyang Hou Mansion, and it is the place that helps her go to Qingyun, and she can't make a mistake.

She silently recited a few words in her heart, and if she couldn't bear it, she would make a big plan, and the blood that was tumbling in her heart slowly calmed down.

She immediately cheered up and greeted Gu Chongzhu: "I heard before that the second lady of the Qingyang Hou Mansion is the most beautiful, and her parents love her like palm beads, and even the old lady loves her very much, so she named her Gu Chongzhu." When I saw it today, I realized that the rumors were true. Second cousin, you are so beautiful! ”

Gu Chongzhu is very conceited about her beauty, and she often hears people praise her when she goes out, but she has never been as explicit as Chai Xiyue.

Listening to Chai Xiyue's compliment, her eyes immediately lit up, and she looked a little excited: "Cousin Xiyue, what you said is true, have you heard of my beauty in Jingzhou Mansion, Hubei?" ”

Gu Chongzhu's reaction was a bit excessive, but it was obviously the result that Chai Xiyue wanted.

She smiled slightly, and took a few steps closer to Gu Chongzhu: "Second cousin, I have grown so big, but as soon as I come back to the capital for the first time, are all the girls in the capital like you and the eldest cousin?" A temperament is as dusty as the bright moon in the sky, and a country and a city are like a blooming peony. I've had an eye-opener today! ”

Her slightly exaggerated tone made Gu Chongzhu very proud, and she was rarely approachable when she was plain and arrogant: "Cousin Xiyue, you are right." We don't know how many times better our capital is than you in Hubei, and there are countless famous women. Not to mention other families, the third and fourth sisters of our Qingyang Hou Mansion, although they can't compare to me and the eldest sister, they are also much more beautiful than the girls from your small place. ”

Gu Chongzhu looked Chai Xiyue up and down, and then said: "However, cousin Xiyue, you don't have to be presumptuous, although you can't compare to the girls of our Gu family, you are also much better than those girls from small families." ”

Chai Xiyue has always felt that she is beautiful, she complimented Gu Chongzhu just to make the other party happy, but she didn't expect Gu Chongzhu to speak so straight and belittle her so lowly.

Her smiling face stiffened a little.

"What my second cousin said is that I always want to be close to a famous lady like you, and I want to learn from your bearing." As she spoke, her tone lowered, revealing a little frustration: "It's a pity, it seems that it can't be done now." ”

"Why not." Gu Chongzhu smiled: "I see that you are also a clever person, since this is the case, I will be merciful and let you see and understand." You have been living with me for the past few days, you can learn from me, and when you go back, you will tell those people how beautiful the second lady of the Qingyang Hou Mansion in Kyoto is. ”

"Really?" Chai Xiyue showed a surprised and happy expression on her face, and looked at Gu Chongzhu in disbelief: "Second cousin, you are so good." It's the first time I've met a girl like you who looks beautiful but has a kind heart. ”

She stepped forward again, took Gu Chongzhu's hand, and said in admiration and gratitude: "Second cousin, I hate you being my own sister!" ”

As he spoke, there was a glint in his eyes.

Her reaction made Gu Chongzhu feel a sense of accomplishment, and she pretended to be calm and said: "Okay, this is just a small thing, I am a soft-hearted person who has always liked to help people." These days, you are in the capital, and you are with me. With me, others will never dare to snub you. ”

Seeing the two of them compliment one by one and the other with a promise, the anger in Gu Chongyang's heart gradually turned into a kind of amusement.

Life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills!

Chai Xiyue is really singing, composing, reading, and playing, all of which are fine, and it only took a while to coax Gu Chongzhu around.

I really have no eyes, I can't see Chai Xiyue's ill-intentioned intentions, and I think she is really friends with her and really good to herself.

The first time you are fooled is ignorance, and the second time you are fooled is stupid.

She Gu Chongyang will never be in the role of Chai Xiyue again in her life.

Chai Xiyue wooed Gu Chongzhu, and Gu Chongzhu pointed to the third lady Gu Chongzhi and said, "Cousin Xiyue, this is my third sister." ”

Chai Xiyue was about to talk to Gu Chongzhi, but Gu Chongzhu said contemptuously: "By the way, I want to make it clear to you, if you want to get acquainted with a famous Shuyuan, you naturally want to get close to me, although some people are also Miss Houfu, they are concubines." Cousin Xiyue is so smart, the difference between a concubine and a concubine, you don't need me to remind you, you should also know. ”

Chai Xiyue nodded and smiled at Gu Chongzhu to show her understanding.

"Hello third cousin!"

She dropped the sentence lightly, and then said nothing else, perfunctory.

Gu Chongzhi nodded slightly, silently, without any displeasure at Chai Xiyue's contempt, and only said softly: "Cousin is good." ”

Gu Chongzhi's willow eyebrows, apricot eyes, and peach blossom faces, every move is a painting, very beautiful.

When Gu Chongyang saw it, he sighed.

She thought that she was having a hard time, but now it seems that the third sister is probably worse than herself. Even a first-time guest like Chai Xiyue snubbed her so much, and the rest of the family and the next people can be imagined.

In the last life, he and his third sister both had their biological mothers and died, but they were their grandmothers and uncles. The third sister is a concubine and has nothing.

Thinking of the hardships he endured in front of his stepmother in his previous life, Gu Chongyang felt a little pity for this third sister.

Chai Xiyue had already walked in front of Gu Chongyang, and she said with a smile: "This must be the fourth cousin." ”

She turned her eyes on Gu Chongyang, and saw that Gu Chongyang had a gold-inlaid jade dragonfly bead flower on his head, a pearl the size of a grain of rice on his ears, and a wisp of gold and a hundred butterflies wearing a floral peach cloud satin skirt on his body, which she had never seen before, and she was a little surprised in her heart.

Didn't you say that the four-room master was a concubine and didn't please the old lady?

How can this fourth lady Gu Chongyang dress so luxuriously, it is not inferior to the eldest lady Gu Chonghua.

It seems that the news I inquired about before is not entirely correct, and I still have to improvise.

After a turn in her heart, Chai Xiyue said affectionately: "The fourth cousin's skin is really white, I don't know what kind of incense powder I rub on weekdays?" ”

Seeing her talking to Gu Chongyang, the second lady Gu Chongzhu was a little unhappy in her heart, she snorted coldly and said, "Who knows what kind of incense powder she rubs?" I don't know who to show my face so white! ”

Gu Chongyang smiled at Chai Xiyue and did not speak.

But Chai Xiyue felt more and more that Gu Chongyang was not ordinary.

Her eyes rolled around, and she looked at a loss, and said, "Why doesn't the fourth cousin speak, don't you like to cherish the moon?" Xiyue is young and ignorant, if there is something wrong, please take care of the fourth cousin, don't be as knowledgeable as Xiyue. ”

In the end, there was a bit of grievance in his voice.
