Chapter 130: Shock (1)
More than half an hour later, the carriage of the Marquis of Weining Mansion stopped at the door of the Gu family.
The housekeeper's mother, who was in charge of welcoming the guests, saw the carriage of the Weining Hou Mansion and immediately greeted her with a smile: "Miss Ji San, Miss Xu Er, you are finally here." Our fourth lady has been waiting for a long time. ”
Ji Yu pouted: "We're here early enough." Could it be that Sister Gu has been waiting for us to come since last night? ”
The housekeeper's mother smiled a little embarrassed.
It's just a casual polite remark, why is this Miss Ji San so serious? I have long heard that Miss Ji San is irritable and not easy to serve, but when I saw it today, it was true.
Xu Jinyu smiled and played a round game: "I also think about Sister Gu every day!" Please also ask my mother to take us to see Sister Gu now. ”
The housekeeper's mother calmed down, led the way in front with a smile, and led the two all the way into the inner house. Today, Gu Caiping invited a few close friends to the banquet, and Ji Yu and Xu Jinyu were the first.
"We seem to be a little early." Ji Yu muttered in hindsight.
Xu Jinyu was amused and helpless: "It's not you yet, I've been urging to come early." "When I came to someone's house as a guest, how could I come so early.
Ji Yu resolutely refused to admit that it was her fault: "How did I know that everyone else came late, but it seems that the two of us came early." ”
The whispers of the two girls vaguely reached the ears of the housekeeper's mother. The housekeeper's mother had a smile on her face as usual, but she secretly pouted in her heart. Miss Ji San is also a famous lady, how can she talk and do things with the demure self-control of a boudoir daughter. It's far worse than Miss Xu Er
Soon arrived at Gu Caiping's yard.
The housekeeper's mother went in to greet her, and Gu Caiping came out to greet her. said with a smile: "Third sister, sister Xu, come in and talk." ”
Gu Caiping has already made a marriage with Ji Ze. Soon he will marry into the Weining Hou Mansion. Before coming, Xiao Zou repeatedly told Ji Yu not to quarrel with Gu Cai. Ji Yu finally didn't forget Xiao Zou's advice, squeezed out a smile, and called Sister Gu.
Gu Caiping affectionately took Ji Yu and Xu Jinyu's hands and led the two of them into his boudoir. It is also meant to show closeness.
Gu Caiping is the youngest daughter of the Gu family, and she is very favored by her parents on weekdays. You can see it from the furnishings of her boudoir, which is not very much. But everything is delicate and gorgeous.
Ji Yu looked at the past one by one, and secretly compared it with her boudoir. came to the fact that she was depressed, Gu Caiping's boudoir was better arranged than her boudoir.
Ji Yu never could hide her thoughts. What is in your heart, you can know it by looking at your face.
Xu Jinyu saw it in her eyes, and didn't know whether to laugh or sympathize with Xiao Zou. Xiao Zou is shrewd and deep, why did he give birth to such a stupid and dull daughter who has no city government?
"Sister Gu. Today is your birthday. Cousin Yu and I each prepared a birthday gift. Xu Jinyu broke the silence with a smile: "You can see if you like it." ”
Ziyue and early summer came over with birthday gifts. A pair of gemstone bracelets given by Ji Yu. Xu Jinyu sent a delicate golden hairpin. The gifts are not particularly expensive or surprising, but the little sisters in the boudoir are enough to give gifts back and forth.
Gu Caiping's face was just rightly happy: "You just need to be a guest, and you have carefully prepared gifts, which is really troublesome." I love both the bracelet and the gold hairpin! ”
"It's good to like." Xu Jinyu responded with a smile: "By the way, what other guests did Sister Gu invite today?" ”
Gu Caiping smiled: "In addition to the two of you, there are also the fourth miss of the Chen family and the third miss of the Ye family. ”
Miss Chen Si is Chen Lingxue. Miss Ye San's maiden name is Ye Qiuyun, and she is the niece of Queen Ye's in-laws. The capital is famous for its beauty and talents.
Hearing Ye Qiuyun's name, Xu Jinyu's heart moved slightly.
Ye Qiuyun is the future princess of Chu and the future queen of the Great Yan Dynasty. Probably because of jealousy, two years after the king of Chu ascended the throne, Ye Qiuyun fell seriously ill and died.
Back then, Xu Jinyu hid in the embroidery pavilion and rarely asked about foreign affairs, but it was impossible not to know such a big thing as the death of the queen of the dynasty. Not only did he know, but he also faintly heard some rumors about Ye Qiuyun.
It is said that Ye Qiuyun admired his cousin Chen Yuanzhao back then, but unfortunately the goddess had a heart for the king and had no dreams, and was later selected by Queen Ye to be the princess of Chu, so she had to cut off her feelings.
It is said that after Chen Yuanzhao's death, Ye Qiuyun was very sad, and he was separated from the king of Chu because of this incident. The so-called "serious illness" died, and there are also some unclear inside stories.
It is also said that after the king of Chu ascended the throne, he killed Chen Yuanzhao on the charge of "rebellion", because he was suspected of being covered by green clouds, so he acted angrily
These rumors started out of nowhere, and they became the talk of the people after dinner.
Xu Jinyu only felt absurd when he heard it. With Chen Yuanzhao's temperament, how could he have anything to do with Princess Chu. As for Ye Qiuyun's admiration for Chen Yuanzhao, it is still somewhat credible.
Putting aside his indifferent, ruthless, arrogant and arrogant temperament, Chen Yuanzhao's family background is outstanding, young and ambitious, and his appearance is impeccable. Ye Qiuyun is the niece of the Duchess of Anguo, Ye, and the cousin of Chen Yuanzhao's relatives, and the two have known each other since childhood. Ye Qiuyun's wisp of affection pinned on Chen Yuanzhao's body is not unusual
Just thinking about it, I heard Chaoxia report with a smile: "Fourth Miss, Miss Chen and Miss Ye are here." ”
Gu Caiping hurriedly smiled and greeted him out.
Xu Jinyu and Ji Yu glanced at each other, and had to go out together
After the girls met, they had their own greetings.
Chen Lingxue has seen it a few times, and she is familiar with it. Most of Xu Jinyu's gaze fell on Ye Qiuyun's body.
Ye Qiuyun is indeed very beautiful, with long willow eyebrows, bright eyes, ruddy lips slightly upturned, and a smile with a bit of reserve and arrogance.
She does have the capital to be proud of. Empress Ye is her aunt, and the crown prince King Chu is her cousin. At the beginning of this year, the emperor personally decreed that the king of Chu and her would be married. At the end of the year, the king of Chu will marry her as the princess of Chu. Such an identity is enough to make her proud of all the famous ladies in Beijing
So, does Ye Qiuyun really like Chen Yuanzhao?
Xu Jinyu secretly pondered this question in her heart, and couldn't help but glance at Ye Qiuyun again.
Coincidentally. Ye Qiuyun actually looked at it too.
The eyes of the two met in the air, and there were no sparks flying, Xu Jinyu smiled politely, and Ye Qiuyun smiled back. Then each looked away.
However, this is only a superficial calm. At this time, Ye Qiuyun's mood was not calm.
It turned out that she was the rumored Xu Jinyu! It was the girl who fell into the water and was rescued by Chen Yuanzhao It was really a rare beauty embryo, with picturesque eyebrows, quiet and gentle.
Chen Yuanzhao, who is as condensed as ice, will he like this girl who is as soft as water?
Gu Caiping and Chen Lingxue have some personal relationships. and Ye Qiuyun are also familiar. Speaking in private, he had a little less scruples, and joked with Ye Qiuyun with a smile: "Sister Ye, why haven't you spoken since you came today?" Are you thinking about something? ”
didn't wait for Ye Qiuyun to come back to his senses. Chen Lingxue responded with a smile: "Don't make fun of Cousin Ye." Cousin Ye's wedding date is set for the end of the year, and when the New Year is over, won't it be your turn? ”
Gu Caiqiao's face was flushed, and her heart was sweet. I can think of something very important. There was another panic in my heart. Today she took the opportunity of her birthday. Inviting people to come is just a pretense. The person I really want to see is actually Xu Jinyu
It is inconvenient to speak privately now. Later, we must find an opportunity to support all talents!
Gu Caiping secretly thought in his heart, cheered up and beckoned everyone to speak.
After a while, Mrs. Gu also came.
Seeing the elders, the girls hurriedly got up and saluted.
Mrs. Gu greeted everyone cordially, and was even more warm and polite to Ji Yu and Ye Qiuyun. The former is Gu Caiping's future sister-in-law, and the latter has a noble status. You can't afford to slack off. In comparison, it is purely polite to Xu Jinyu.
Gu Caiping stupidly regarded Xu Jinyu as a benefactor. Mrs. Gu was a little jealous of Xu Jinyu, who had calculated her daughter. When he spoke, he hung Xu Jinyu intentionally or unintentionally.
Xu Jinyu was so keen, she had already noticed Mrs. Gu's deliberate coldness. After a little thought, I guessed the reason. However, she didn't take this little thing to heart.
Mrs. Gu had a cold heart, and before Gu could breathe, she began to calculate that Gu Caiping would marry Ji Ze as a continuation. When Gu Caiping marries into the Marquis of Weining Mansion in the future, and discovers the private ~ relationship between Xiao Zou and Ji Ze, it will be really lively.
Gu Caiping took advantage of everyone to speak, and quickly glanced at Xu Jinyu: "Sister Xu, I embroidered a pair of pillow scarves a few days ago, and the mandarin duck pattern embroidered on it was not satisfactory to look left and right. You are good at women's red embroidery, please take a look and give me some advice? ”
Xu Jinyu's heart moved, and she responded with a smile: "Thanks to Sister Gu not disliking my craftsmanship, then I will go with Sister Gu to have a look." ”
Gu Caiping has already fulfilled her wish and decided on a family affair, just waiting to marry to the Weining Marquis Mansion as a concubine in the coming year. What else could I discuss with her?
Gu Caiping saw that Xu Jinyu responded, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. He smiled and said to Mrs. Gu: "Mother, Sister Xu and I will come as soon as we go." Please summon Sister Ye and a few of them for me first. ”
Mrs. Gu was a little unhappy in her heart. He had already told Gu Caiping a few times before, asking her to stay away from Xu Jinyu. But she just didn't listen!
In front of so many people, Mrs. Gu was just unhappy and inconvenient to show it, and nodded with a smile.
Gu Caiping led Xu Jinyu to the boudoir, but he didn't take any pillows out, turned his head and ordered: "You all stand down." No one is allowed to approach the door without my command. ”
Chaoxia and the others immediately retreated.
After the door was closed, only Gu Caiping and Xu Jinyu were left in the room.
"Sister Gu, you deliberately broke everyone away, is there anything important to tell me?" Xu Jinyu asked bluntly. (To be continued......)
PS: Why is Gu Caiping so anxious to discuss with Xu Jinyu? Guess what~O(∩_∩)O~——
