Chapter 21: Pretending to be stupid

"I wonder who he is? Is it good-looking or not? In the courtyard, Gu Ming sat by the pond, breaking a steamed bun in her hand and feeding the red koi fish inside. And the noisy people around them, in this courtyard, except for Gu Miao, who can't go downstairs, the rest are here, and they are talking about Shi Niang's "fiancΓ©".

It was Bai Mei who spoke just now.

More than a dozen people were really noisy talking together, Gu Ming frowned, the red koi fish were so frightened by them that they didn't even eat steamed buns.

Ding Xiang still stood silently behind Gu Ming, not participating in these people's topics.

"Cut, a poor sour, what's so nice!" Gu Yuan's girl Bai He scoffed.

Bai Ju's face was flushed by her scorn, but she couldn't say anything to refute herself, after all, the young man surnamed Lin was dressed in shabby clothes when he came to the door yesterday, and it was spread by the entire Gu Mansion. She had no choice but to ask Gu Ming for help: "Fourteen Niang, you went to Mrs. this morning, did you see him, is he good-looking?" ”

How could the Yao family let Lin Enzhi come out to meet people now? Gu Ming smiled, but she still answered Bai Mei's question: "Whether a person is good-looking or not has little to do with whether he is poor or not." ”

In fact, Lynn is quite good-looking. If it weren't for him being too poor, I believe the Yao family wouldn't dislike him so much.

Of course, in this life, Gu Rui has become a "nobleman" in the novel xstxt, so Yao's vision should be higher than in the previous life.

"Listen, listen! Our fourteenth mother said that looks have nothing to do with whether you have money or not! Bai Mei was very proud when she got Gu Ming's words, and immediately made a grimace at Bai He.

When Gu Ming heard this, his face sank, and he asked, "Last time I explained the painting you drew, have you finished painting it?" ”

"That painting ......" Bai Mei suddenly panicked. During this time, she tried her best to draw a lot of paintings, but Fourteen Niang always said that it was too big to make the paintings smaller...... But the pen is so thick, how can you draw no matter how small?

She even felt that Fourteen Niang was deliberately embarrassing herself in order to create opportunities for Lilac. So in the past few days, she hasn't cared about it. But I didn't expect that Fourteen Niang would bring this up again today.

"I didn't paint it well, so let's go draw it now." Gu Ming said lightly.

When Bai Mei saw her face, she knew that she was angry, and went back to the room with anxiety in her heart, and went to ponder her painting again.

"Fourteen Niang, what kind of painting do you have, and you actually let a girl paint it? What can girls draw? Gu Miao said.

"Some people are too broken-mouthed, just find something for her to do." Gu Ming said meaningfully.

Gu Yuan's face turned pale with anger. She was very lively just now, Gu Ming was a girl on the surface, but she was actually talking about her.

She ran away in a huff, and Gu Mo was not interested in taking the girl alone, so she said goodbye to Gu Ming and left. Only Gu Ming was left to stay by the pond, feeding the koi fish for a while. The pond was quiet, and the fish finally couldn't stand the temptation of the smell of food, and they all surfaced and rushed to eat.

Gu Ming looked at the small mouths on the surface of the water and swallowed food one by one, and suddenly felt that life was so beautiful. God has given her one more chance than others, and she should take advantage of it.

"Fourteen Niang, where are the nine Niang and the eleventh Niang? Madame invites you to go to Wei Ziyuan together to discuss something. Mu Xiang came in, politely saluted Gu Ming, and asked.

It's finally here. Gu Ming handed the rest of the steamed buns to Lilac, patted the crumbs in his hand, stood up, and said to Lilac with a smile: "Jiu Niang and Eleven Niang went out just now...... Probably in the garden, right? Shall I help you find it? ”

"Thank you, thank you, I still don't need to." Mu Xiang thanked Gu Ming very politely, "If Fourteen Niang is fine, it can be done now." ”

Gu Ming nodded to Mu Xiang: "Then I'll go over first." ”

Mu Xiang watched Gu Ming walk away with the girl Lilac, and was a little puzzled, why did she go over without asking anything? So calm?

Gu Ming took the cloves into Wei Ziyuan, and sure enough, she was the first to arrive, and Jiuniang and Eleven Niang had not yet arrived. She smiled and walked into Yao's room with Lilac.

Yao glanced at Gu Ming, glanced at the cloves behind her, and suddenly asked, "Fourteen Niang, aren't you two big girls, why do you see you every day, it's all this?" What about that? So lazy, don't even go out the door? You can't get used to it. ”

When Gu Ming proposed to promote Lilac before, she knew that there would be such a day, so she was not in a hurry, and said with a smile: "My mother really cares about fourteen, fourteen and 140,000 ashamed." But that girl has had some things lately, so I won't bother her and let her do things with peace of mind. Anyway, when there was only one big girl before, I did the same, and there was no difference. ”

What does it mean that there is no difference? Winter grass has been under her name for so long, and she hasn't caught any of her tricks, which makes her very depressed. But fortunately, Shi Niang reminded her today, no, this is a ready-made excuse!

"Fourteen Niang, you also know, our Gu family's situation has become more and more sluggish in recent years, and the treatment of each young lady is also agreed by your father. In this way, even if it is me, it is not easy to disobey ...... Don't you know that these days, the sea of complaints for my mother has gone, in the end, there are many children in our house, and the comparison is also heavy......" Yao's Lala said a lot of miscellaneous things, Gu Ming kept smiling and listening, but she just didn't speak, she didn't respond, which made Yao's angry and tight.

She was so tired that she stopped, took a sip of tea, and stared at Gu Ming with her eyes, hoping that she could get acquainted with each other and bring it up herself. Unexpectedly, Gu Ming finally spoke, but what she said was: "Mother, did you come to me specifically to talk about this?" But Sister Muxiang also went to find Jiuniang and Eleven Niang, is that to add a big girl to each of us? ”

Yao's sip of tea was swallowing downward, and when he heard the words, a breath of air rushed up in his chest, and as a result, he poured out the tea and squirted out, choking and coughing, so sad that his eyes were red, and his nasal cavity was spicy and painful.

"You...... You...... What nonsense are you talking about! Yao didn't know if Gu Ming really didn't understand or fake, and he couldn't speak, so he screamed loudly.

Gu Ming pretended to have an unknown expression, and asked rhetorically, "Mother, then ...... you called your daughter?"

Sandalwood patted her on the back for a while, and Yao smoothed out the breath. But I still felt uncomfortable pain in my nasal cavity, and half of the tea that I had just squirted out of my nostrils came out of my nostrils, and everywhere I passed, it was hot.

Sandalwood helped her breathe, and Huoxiang hurriedly wiped Yao's clothes. Yao took out a handkerchief to cover his nose, and pressed it for a long time before he felt better about his nose.

"I called you sisters here for something else!" Yao put down the handkerchief, his face was extremely ugly, and he said in a low voice.
