Chapter 119: The Entanglement of the Two Families
"Sister Axiu, do we want to go in and take a look, it's almost the New Year, there must be a lot of new fabrics in this cloth village, and this splendid cloth village is the best cloth village in the whole capital, except for those tributes, as long as you say the cloth, there are all in it." Pei Yan opened the corner of the curtain and pointed to a store not far away.
Ah Xiu followed Pei Yan's finger and looked, the faΓ§ade of the splendid cloth village was very magnificent, and then looked at the guests coming and going at the door, the business was excellent.
"The ready-to-wear here is also good, Ah Xiu, you can go and take a look and try it." Gu Jinrong said on the side, compared to Pei Yan's enthusiastic appearance, Gu Jinrong seemed much more bland.
She doesn't particularly like to visit such shops.
And Pei Yan is a person who has no opinions, in the past, he obviously accompanied her to buy clothes, but he heard Pei Yan say over there that it was okay to do this, or that, and when he left, the car was full of all kinds of clothes.
When she got home, not only hers, but even her parents, grandmother and younger brothers didn't have to buy any more clothes.
"Then let's go check it out." Ah Xiu didn't have much of a feeling for beautiful clothes, she seemed to be past that age.
In comparison, she actually wants to visit those food stalls more.
It's a pity that now she is sitting in the carriage of the Zhenguo General's Mansion, and it will definitely not be good to pull Gu Jin and let them eat roadside stalls.
Hearing Ah Xiu nod, Pei Yan was very happy and hurriedly asked people to stop the carriage aside.
Before Ah Xiu reached the door, he could feel the excitement inside.
When I entered the store, I felt a burst of heat. Ah Xiu looked around, and didn't use any carbon for heating, it would be so warm here, purely because there were too many people.
"It's Miss Gu, come in quickly, I just got in a batch of 'Thousand Silk Brocade' yesterday, do you want to take a look?" Although the business inside has been so busy that those guys can't touch the ground, this Gu Jinrong is not an ordinary young lady, and no matter how busy she is, she can't be left aside.
In addition, this Gu Jingling has just returned from a victory, maybe the little emperor will reward some big official to the Gu family. Now that is something that must not be offended.
"It's fine." Gu Jinrong nodded at him lightly.
It's Pei Yan. Pull Ah Xiu to look at this, and then look at that.
When she and Gu Jinrong were busy with food and grass before, it was true that they hadn't come to shop for a long time.
"Ah, it's Miss Gu who is back. I heard that General Gu Xiao has made a great contribution! I saw the guy leading Gu Jinrong and the three of them inside. Many people recognized Gu Jinrong.
No matter what Gu Jinrong said, she is also the eldest daughter of a first-class family. It is also deeply loved by the queen mother today, which lady does not send invitations to the Gu family when she holds a banquet!
Moreover, Gu Jinrong has not married out of Lu at the age of eighteen this year, and it can be regarded as a negative teaching material in the capital.
Although everyone in front of them is a "you are amazing" look. But behind it, he was definitely educated by the female elders in the family, and he couldn't learn from Gu Jinrong if he wanted to.
If Eighteen hadn't married, the whole family would have been disgraced.
Gu Jinrong heard the voice and turned her head, she remembered that this woman was the young lady of the Hubu Shangshu family, but she didn't have any friendship.
He simply nodded at her as a polite gesture.
"Sister Gu." Ah Xiu heard a cold voice, but in such a noisy environment, it grabbed her ears all at once.
She subconsciously looked at the source of the sound, and saw a woman in Tsing Yi standing quietly in one place, looking only fifteen or sixteen years old, her hair was simply combed into a bun, a hosta was inserted, her face was delicate, but her eyes were shallow, and the whole person had a feeling of ink painting.
Light, but impressive.
"Sister Wang." Gu Jinrong took two steps over there.
Pei Yan explained to Ah Xiu on the side: "This is the concubine of Wang Taishi, Wang Xiyao, who is very favored by Wang Taishi, I heard that she was originally going to enter the palace to Niangniang, but unfortunately it is ......" Pei Yan said "tsk" twice, although it was a pity, but Ah Xiu listened to it with a sense of schadenfreude.
When she just heard Gu Jinrong call her Sister Wang, she felt that she was really close to the person surnamed Wang today, but she didn't expect that she was really from a family!
As for what Pei Yan didn't finish, Ah Xiu naturally understood, but unfortunately the first emperor died early.
You must know that the first emperor of Lu Dao was only twenty and nine when he died, and he was in the prime of life, but unfortunately his health has not been good, and there were Xinglin national players who asserted that he could not live to be thirty.
Of course, that national player died earlier than him, and as soon as he finished saying this, he was directly dragged out and cut down by the Empress Dowager, who was still the queen at the time.
If that national hand is still alive now, maybe the first emperor can live a few more years.
And this Wang Xiyao has been cultivated as a mother since he was a child, and his food is better than that of other children of the Wang family.
It's a pity that the triennial draft, last year was temporarily canceled because the first emperor was sick, and as for the last time, Miss Wang is not yet old.
This Wang Xiyao originally had a lot of people come to ask for marriage, but who called Wang Taishi was more ambitious, and this delay dragged him into a sixteen-year-old girl.
However, she is better than Gu Jinrong, although she is a little older at the age of sixteen, her family background is over there, and she usually takes the fairy route, and now there are still many people who go to the Wang family to ask for relatives.
This is also what makes Pei Yan particularly unhappy, obviously it is all leftovers, why is her own young lady being used as a negative teaching material, she is just like a fairy and is still offered.
And what makes Pei Yan cherish the most is that Mrs. Gu once wanted to ask Gu Jingling for the Wang family, after all, the two families lived close to each other and their status was comparable.
But people refused, although this marriage is something you and I want, but Gu Jingling is also a natural character in Pei Yan's mind.
As a person like Wang Xiyao, he is not worthy of his own young master at all!
"Congratulations on my sister's safe return." Wang Xiyao smiled at Gu Jinrong.
Although her appearance is not as charming as Pei Yan, she has her own charm in it, especially the shallow smile. The temperament of the whole person came out at once.
It's a pity that Ah Xiu's least favorite thing is someone who pretends to be forced.
"Thank you, Sister Wang." In front of outsiders, Gu Jinrong also walked in a cold wind, but compared to this Wang Xiyao, he was even more arrogant inside.
Wang Xiyao only knows how to chant poems and paint on weekdays, and moans without illness, Gu Jinrong is also a person who has been on the battlefield, and his temperament is naturally not comparable to ordinary people.
"In a few days, the Queen Mother will hold a plum blossom banquet, which is said to be specially for Miss Rong's birthday." Wang Xiyao did not earnestly ask Gu Jinrong if he was going. It's just telling the truth.
That's where she's smart.
If you ask. Instead, he fell behind.
Wang Xiyao must not allow himself to be worse than others, no matter what time it is.
Gu Jinrong's face paused slightly when she heard "Miss Rong".
This Miss Rong has a special identity. Her father was only a cabinet bachelor from the second rank. But she is deeply loved by the current Queen Mother. Frequent in and out of the palace.
If it weren't for the fact that the emperor was too young, some people would be speculating that this Miss Rong would be the queen's life.
Because of the Queen Mother. The average lady is also very jealous of her.
Even Gu Jinrong didn't dare to provoke her casually.
This queen mother is the most protective of the shortest!
Although she is also loved by the Queen Mother, that Miss Rong is favored by the Queen Mother, although the difference is only one word, but the meaning is very different.
"Sister Rong is a blessed one." Gu Jinrong just said casually.
She has nothing to do with Miss Na Rong, and if she wants to say anything else, it seems to be hypocritical.
"It's not too early, my brother should be annoyed waiting in the carriage, then let's talk to Sister Gu then." Wang Xiyao covered his mouth and smiled slightly, nodded at Gu Jinrong and left.
She didn't like to meet Gu Jinrong, because every time she appeared, she would feel that her coldness was suddenly compared, as if Gu Jinrong was genuine, and she was just a fake.
This gave her a rather boring feeling inside.
"Yes."
When Wang Xiyao left, he swept a figure in his afterglow, turned his head to look, and only saw a round back, probably because he was thinking too much......
"The mood is gone." After Wang Xiyao walked away, Pei Yan muttered in a low voice.
I was happy to buy something, but I met someone I didn't like!
"Okay, okay, your temper should be more restrained, if you really provoke someone, I may not be able to protect you." Gu Jinrong poked Pei Yan's head angrily, she was good, she dared to say anything outside, and she didn't know that the wall of the road had ears.
"Anyway, I have a young lady to protect me." Pei Yan smiled very proudly, and then pulled Ah Xiu to his side: "What have you been looking outside!" β
She just discovered that this Ah Xiu's mind was not in it at all.
Although she doesn't like Wang Xiyao, she has to admit that she still has a bit of a look.
And this Ah Xiu didn't even give her a straight eye.
"Don't you smell a good smell?" Although the smell of rouge gouache filled the house, Ah Xiu's nose was still very sensitive to smell the tempting fragrance coming from outside.
"That's what you say!" Pei Yan asked vigorously: "This is haggis soup, it can be seen everywhere in the capital, if you drink a bowl in winter, your whole body will be warm." Pei Yan thought that Ah Xiu was curious, so he explained it to her.
Ah Xiu felt the smell of meat, and after hearing Pei Yan say this, his eyes brightened even more: "I want to go outside to breathe, why don't you take a look first?" "She's not interested in fabric at all, anyway.
"You don't look at the fabric anymore?" Pei Yan pointed to the delicate fabrics.
"I also think it's a little stuffy inside, Rou'er, you know my preferences best, so it's up to you to stay here and pick it." Gu Jinrong said on the side.
Pei Yan was a little strange, although there were more people in this room, but the windows were open, so he didn't feel bored at all......
"Then you should come back quickly." Although Pei Yan felt puzzled, he was reluctant to abandon these fabrics.
People are coming in, how can you get out if you don't buy something!
"We'll be back in a quarter of an hour." Gu Jinrong stretched out a finger and waved it.
"That's fine." A quarter of an hour is not long, and it will be a while, Pei Yan thought that they can't give them any advice anyway, and it's okay to go out.
Pei Yan, who is now completely filled with fabric, doesn't realize at all that if he doesn't go to breathe, why does it take a quarter of an hour?
When he went out, Gu Jinrong pointed to a small alley and said, "There is a mutton restaurant here, and the haggis soup in it is the most delicious." β
As soon as Ah Xiu heard this, it seemed that Gu Jin Rong knew what was on her mind, but she didn't feel ashamed of loving to eat.
And she also told her about the delicious restaurant.
Immediately, he looked at Gu Jinrong with a bright smile: "Then I'll invite Sister Gu to drink haggis soup." β
For the first time, Gu Jinrong saw Ah Xiu smiling so brightly, and his heart moved slightly.
She originally only thought she was a teenager, but now it seems that she is just a child.
"Then I'll thank you and Xie Axiu first." Gu Jinrong also pretended to make a gesture at Ah Xiu, but she was wearing women's clothes now, and she looked very strange.
Ah Xiu laughed for a while before asking, "If we go over there to eat, if we don't come back in a quarter of an hour, will Sister Pei be in a hurry!" β
Gu Jinrong smiled before saying, "This rouge provokes the fabric, where will he remember you and me!" As he spoke, he winked at Ah Xiu twice.
Well, Ah Xiu immediately understood in his heart, and the two of them looked at each other and smiled. (To be continued......)
