Xu Jinyu smiled and reminded: "The two of us have been out for so long, we should go back, so as not to make the big guy suspicious." When we are all gone, it will not be too late for you to talk to Mrs. Gu. ”

Gu Caiping took a deep breath and nodded.

Gu Caiping washed her face again, cleaned up a little, and made sure that she couldn't see any traces of crying, so she and Xu Jinyu went back to the main hall.

Mrs. Gu said angrily: "Cai Apple, why have you been there for so long." Throwing down Ye Qiuyun and the three of them, I don't know what I said to Xu Jinyu for a long time.

Gu Caiping hurriedly cheered up and laughed: "Just now, Sister Xu instructed me in embroidery, and I listened attentively and asked a lot of questions. Sister Xu patiently answered one by one, and accidentally stayed for a long time, so that everyone waited for a long time, it was all mine. ”

"A little thing, Sister Gu doesn't have to mind." The first to open her mouth was Ye Qiuyun, who had been silent, with a pair of wonderful eyes, and looked at Xu Jinyu: "Sister Gu is full of praise for Miss Xu's embroidery, I wonder if Miss Xu can let me wait to open my eyes?" ”

The voice is soft and pleasant, but there is a hint of provocation and hostility.

The two only met for the first time, where did this hostility come from?

Xu Jinyu smiled quietly: "Miss Ye overestimated me too much. I have been interested in female red since I was a child, and I have studied with a teacher for a few years, and when it comes to embroidery, it is indeed better than the woman who is pampered in the boudoir. However, it is far worse than those embroiderers who are proficient in embroidery. ”

Ye Qiuyun raised the corners of her lips with a smile: "Why should Miss Xu be humble." If it weren't for your outstanding embroidery skills, how could Sister Gu ask you for advice for a long time? ”

It's a deliberate rhythm of finding fault!

Gu Caiping heard that something was wrong. Busy smiling and playing round: "Sister Ye, Sister Xu is indeed good at embroidery, especially double-sided embroidery." It's even more amazing. ”

"Miss Xu can embroider on both sides?" Ye Qiuyun raised his eyebrows: "Even so, I want to see it with my own eyes today." ”

This sounds a bit harsh. What's wrong with people who know how to embroider on both sides, do you have to show her? Isn't it true that if you don't show her, you won't be able to live up to your name?

Until this moment, Xu Jinyu can also be sure. This Ye Qiuyun really didn't like her, and deliberately came to pick a thorn.

But when did you offend her?

Could it be because Chen Yuanzhao had saved himself, Ye Qiuyun was jealous. So deliberately targeting her?

Xu Jinyu's heart flashed, and a smile appeared on her face: "Since Miss Ye has insisted repeatedly, then I will be ugly." As he spoke, he took out the handkerchief he had brought with him: "This handkerchief is embroidered and played with by me in my spare time." Miss Ye is invited to comment and advise. ”

The maid beside Ye Qiuyun came over, took the handkerchief, and sent it to Ye Qiuyun's hands.

The front side of this handkerchief is embroidered with bluegrass, and the other side is embroidered with butterflies. The patterns on both sides are very different. But each of them is lifelike. Even people who don't know anything about female red. You can also see at a glance that this is a rare treasure.

Such a beautiful double-sided embroidery is worth at least 100 taels of silver on the market. And Xu Jinyu actually embroidered a handkerchief and carried it with him

Ye Qiuyun subconsciously glanced up at Xu Jinyu.

The beautiful and gentle face, with a faint smile, and clear and bright eyes: "Miss Ye saw the veil, what do you think?" ”

If people don't offend me, I don't offend anyone. If someone takes the initiative to provoke, she will never tolerate or be angry in vain.

"It's better to see than to hear. Miss Xu's embroidery skills are really outstanding. Ye Qiuyun praised with a smile, paused and said with a smile: "Miss Xu's embroidery is so exquisite. But there is no embroidery circulating, which is a pity. ”

A serious boudoir daughter, and not an embroiderer who makes a living from embroidery, how can there be embroidery on the market? When Ye Qiuyun said this, he was clearly secretly belittling the Xu family.

Xu Jinyu's eyes flashed slightly, and she responded lightly: "Miss Ye praised it falsely." I just embroider to relieve boredom and pass the time, and I don't need to make a living from embroidery. There will be no embroidery coming out. ”

Ye Qiuyun was choked, and his face was not very good-looking.

Ji Yu is usually dull, but today she had a flash of inspiration, and immediately took over the conversation: "Yes, how delicate the daughter's family in the boudoir is." The embroidery embroidered by hand is at most given to the sisters who have made friends, how can it be passed on to others. Miss Yip didn't say these things properly. ”

Ye Qiuyun smiled a little reluctantly: "It's me who lost my words for a while, and I ask Miss Xu not to take it to heart." ”

Xu Jinyu tugged at the corners of her lips: "Miss Ye said that it was a momentary gaffe, how can I be strange." "Soft with thorns, hidden needles in the cotton!

Ye Qiuyun couldn't laugh a little.

She has two brothers and two younger brothers, she is the youngest daughter of the Ye family and the only daughter, and she has been pampered in the palm of her hand since she was a child. The aunt of the in-laws is the queen of the dynasty, and only rushing to this layer is enough to make her infinitely dominant among the ladies in the capital. Who saw her and wasn't careful to flatter? Unexpectedly, Xu Jinyu, who has a humble family background, dared to treat her like this!

Thinking of his cousin, who had been in love with him since he was a child but did not give any truth to him, would take the initiative to jump into the pool to save Xu Jinyu, Ye Qiuyun's heart was even more jealous.

This Xu Jinyu, why did she get the other eye from her cousin so easily?

She has always liked her cousin, and she waited for her cousin to come to the door to propose marriage, but what she waited for was the emperor's holy decree for the marriage of the king of Chu. She had to be grateful to accept the holy decree, but she cried for a long time behind her back.

After hearing that Chen Yuanzhao saved Xu Jinyu who fell into the water, she was jealous and hateful, and she didn't sleep well for half a month. Although they have never met, the name Xu Jinyu has already been deeply engraved in her heart.

Today, she finally met the rumored Xu Jinyu with her own eyes.

Xu Jinyu is really beautiful and moving, and she has such excellent embroidery skills, and her tongue is even sharper

Ye Qiuyun didn't speak, and Xu Jinyu also stopped talking.

The atmosphere suddenly seemed subtle and awkward.

Mrs. Gu was old and sophisticated, so she quietly opened the topic: "I heard that the queen mother has been in poor health recently, and several princes, princesses, princesses, and princesses take turns to enter the palace to serve the sick. I wonder if Miss Ye has ever entered the palace to visit the queen? ”

Mention Queen Ye. Ye Qiuyun's superior pride and self-confidence suddenly returned, and he said with a smile: "Two days ago, my mother led the two sisters-in-law into the palace together. It's not convenient for me to go into the palace to visit my aunt now. ”

said. glanced at Xu Jinyu intentionally or unintentionally. is obviously showing off her status as a quasi-princess.

Xu Jinyu completely lost her affection for Ye Qiuyun. Compared with Ji Yu, who is reserved and elegant, cold and sharp, this Ye Qiuyun is really far behind.

Narrow-minded, shallow-minded, and unsightly!

and the ruthless King of Chu is quite a suitable pair.

Mrs. Gu didn't like Xu Jinyu, and deliberately held Ye Qiuyun, and the next topic was basically on Queen Ye.

Such a topic. Of course, Xu Jinyu couldn't interject, and she was happy to be at ease. It's a pity that she wants to be idle. Ye Qiuyun refused to let her go: "On the day of Princess Qin's birthday banquet, I happened to be unwell, so I couldn't come to the door as a guest, and I missed the wonderful scene of my cousin saving Miss Xu!" ”

If the tone is a little calmer. It's more natural not to reveal that sourness.

Xu Jinyu didn't explain either. only smiled shyly: "General Chen helped to save me, and I have always been grateful in my heart." ”

Ye Qiuyun saw it in his eyes, he was both envious and jealous in his heart, and said with a smile: "It's also my cousin's." Even if you jumped into the pool and saved you, you should always be responsible for visiting the door to ask for your relatives. Wouldn't it be a loss to your reputation if you are so quiet? ”

Xu Jinyu immediately said with a straight face: "Miss Ye's words are inappropriate. General Chen jumped into the water to save people out of kindness. I have nothing but gratitude in my heart, and I will never have any other thoughts. I want to know the inside story. And they will never make irresponsible remarks. ”

Ye Qiuyun, who was talking nonsense, stiffened his smile.

Xu Jinyu said again: "What's more, I was not the only one who was rescued from falling into the water that day. and Sister Gu. At that time, it was the guards in King Qin's mansion who saved Sister Gu. According to Miss Ye's statement, wouldn't that guard also have to come to the door to propose marriage in order not to damage Sister Gu's reputation? ”

Ye Qiuyun: ""

From the mention of falling into the water, Gu Caiping's face was not very good-looking, and now it is even more ugly.

In the past, Gu Caiping was going to anger Xu Jinyu nine times out of ten. However, now Xu Jinyu is her most trusted "ally". Of course, it is Ye Qiuyun who mentioned this matter for no reason.

"It's all in the past, so don't mention it." Gu Caiping's expression was stiff, and his tone was also stiff: "It's not too early, let's move to the dining room." ”

As he spoke, he took the lead in getting up and beckoned Xu Jinyu, Ji Yu, and Chen Lingxue to go out together.

Ye Qiuyun, who was left aside, turned white with a pretty face.

Mrs. Gu also felt unhappy in her heart.

It's not good to say something, but I have to mention the bad thing about falling into the water. This Miss Ye San is also too self-righteous and doesn't care about other people's feelings at all. and that Xu Jinyu, who endured a few words and just didn't hear them, but unceremoniously ridiculed back. The harmful apples lost face, and they turned their anger on Ye Qiuyun again

Mrs. Gu was no longer happy, and she couldn't hang Ye Qiuyun, so she squeezed out a smile and said, "Miss Ye will go to the dining room with me!" ”

Ye Qiuyun resisted the urge to leave with his sleeves brushed up, and pulled the corners of his lips, which was considered to be a response

Because of the previous unhappiness, the atmosphere of lunch was not much better.

Gu Caiping only ate a few bites, and then felt a burst of nausea, almost unable to suppress the urge to vomit, and her pretty face was faintly white.

Xu Jinyu sat beside her, and the corner of her eyes kept paying attention to the changes in her expression, and secretly said something bad in her heart. quietly tugged at Gu Caiping's sleeve.

Be sure to endure it! Don't show anything unusual in public!

Gu Caiping's stomach was churning, and he couldn't bear it anymore, so he covered his mouth with a panicked face, got up and rushed out.

Chaoxia was startled and hurriedly ran out.

Ji Yu looked puzzled: "What's wrong with Sister Gu?" ”

Mrs. Gu didn't know what she thought, her face quietly changed, and she squeezed out a smile: "She suffered from the cold two days ago, probably not well, and it caused gastrointestinal discomfort again." I'll send someone to get a doctor to take a look at it later. ”

Gu Caiping's appearance, like a symptom of gastrointestinal discomfort from the cold?

Ji Yu and Chen Lingxue looked at each other, their expressions a little subtle.

However, this kind of thing is not easy to get to the bottom of it.

Mrs. Gu was obviously uneasy, and she didn't have the heart to eat, so she quickly put her chopsticks aside. Xu Jinyu and the others were naturally interested, and soon got up and said goodbye.

Mrs. Gu said apologetically, "I neglected you today." ”

Chen Lingxue responded understandingly: "Sister Gu's body is important, a few of us have been here for a long time to disturb enough, and it's time to leave." ”

Mrs. Gu didn't want to say more, and after a few polite words, she ordered someone to send a few people out of the house.

Along the way, Ye Qiuyun kept talking to Chen Lingxue in a low voice, not looking at Xu Jinyu, looking disdainful.

Xu Jinyu only felt funny in her heart. This Ye Qiuyun, I feel too good about myself! is used to being praised by others, so I think that the people around me should rush to please her?

Xu Jinyu simply slowed down her pace and gradually distanced herself from Ye Qiuyun.

Ye Qiuyun's heart was not happy again. When I arrived at the gate of Gu's house, I stopped, and looked condescending and reserved: "I am fortunate to meet Miss Xu today, if I post a post to invite Miss Xu to Ye's house in the future, I hope Miss Xu will appreciate her face." ”

Xu Jinyu smiled faintly: "Miss Ye doesn't dislike me for being boring and boring, and it's my honor to be willing to make friends with me." Shall I not know the doctrine of exaltation? ”

The irony in the words is clear.

Ye Qiuyun was secretly annoyed in her heart, and responded with a smile: "Miss Xu is strict." I'm going to hold a chrysanthemum feast in a few days, and you must come then. ”

Xu Jinyu responded with a smile: "Of course." ”

The two of them looked at each other, and each snorted coldly in their hearts

"It's strange, Sister Gu was fine before, why did she vomit on the spot in a blink of an eye?" After getting into the carriage, Ji Yu couldn't help but complain a few words: "If you are not feeling well, you can rest assured, why bother inviting us all as guests." ”

I invited a guest to come, but I didn't greet him well. first dragged Xu Jinyu into the house and talked for a long time, leaving them all aside. When she was eating, she came again and then put her chopsticks down after a few bites.

She hasn't eaten yet!

What kind of hospitality is this!

Xu Jinyu listened absentmindedly to Ji Yu's complaints. At this time, Mrs. Gu should already know the truth! I don't know what kind of reaction Mrs. Gu will have

"By the way, Sister Gu specially asked you to go to her boudoir today, what did you say?" Ji Yu asked curiously.

Xu Jinyu said perfunctorily: "She was preparing a dowry and wanted to embroider pillows and quilt covers by herself, so she specially asked me for advice, and it took a long time." ”

Ji Yu didn't have any doubts, but pouted: "The wedding date is next year, there is still half a year, she can slowly embroider the dowry, what is there to hurry." ”

Xu Jinyu smiled but did not speak.

Where will it take half a year, maybe within a month, Ji Yu should call Gu Caiping a sister-in-law!
