006 Lobbyist
As soon as the first month passed, it was the day when the second girl, Gu Qingya, came out of the pavilion.
Gu Qingya is a girl from the third room, she is over sixteen this year, and she is the eldest son of Lord Zhou, the servant of the Criminal Department. This week, Jue has just been in the year of the weak crown, and at the age of eighteen, he decided to settle the family business of the Yuanhou Mansion, which can be described as a double happiness. Now I'm just waiting for the marriage to concentrate on preparing for the spring festival.
Lord Zhou's official residence is three grades, Zhou Jue is a meritorious person, although Gu Qingya is a girl from the Hou Mansion, the third master is only the left senator of the Tongzheng Yuan of the fifth grade, and the second girl is still married.
Gu Qingwan vaguely remembered that the fourth girl also privately said that Zhou Jue was a veritable nerd this time, I don't know if Lu Dao is really something, or if Gu Qingrao has a good marriage.
However, the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion and the Huaiwang Mansion are related to each other, and the Huaiwang has won the trust of today, and the four masters of the Gu family are all officials in the court, and the Gu family is also a good in-law.
In the end, the girl of the Gu family is not worried about getting married. The only thing I'm worried about is probably how to marry the three girls out of the city, so that I can say goodbye to the girls behind me.
Gu Qingwan smiled secretly, she had already reached the end of her life, and in the past few years, she has been "famous", and no one has come to propose marriage so far. And the fourth, fifth, and sixth girls behind her have all reached the age where they can be said to be related, and there is no choice but to have Gu Qingwan in front of her, so naturally no one dares to mention the relatives of other girls.
Especially Gu Qingrao, who is only half a year younger than Gu Qingwan, and seeing that she is about to die, how can she not be in a hurry? No wonder Gu Qingrao's eyes were full of anger when she looked at her, and most likely she also blamed herself for delaying her.
Today is the day when the second girl, Gu Qingya, adds makeup, and it has been noisier than usual outside since dawn, but it's a pity that Gu Qingwan was grounded in the yard, and this kind of excitement has nothing to do with her.
Besides, the three girls have a private meeting with a man, and they express their heartfelt feelings, which is indeed too shocking for this dynasty, and it is the girl of the entire family who is not easy to connect. The old lady just let Gu Qingwan kneel for two days, and then she was only grounded, which could be regarded as a small punishment and a big commandment.
Gu Qingwan was ready to be trapped in the Yuanxiang Pavilion for a few more months, but she didn't expect that after noon, the eldest maid in the old lady's house, Yuzhan, came to pass the word, saying that the old lady asked her to go to the Tansong Courtyard.
When the jade cup came, Gu Qingwan was immersed in copying "Family Motto".
The Gu family has obviously put a lot of effort into every girl, even if the third girl is such a willful person, but she still writes a good hand. Although Gu Qingwan received the memories of the third girl, and she also practiced big characters for a period of time when she was a child, she is still a little lame in writing now.
It just so happens that there is nothing going on on weekdays. However, I can spend more time practicing calligraphy, so that I can not only be familiar with the handwriting of the three girls, but also finish copying the "Family Motto" a hundred times as soon as possible.
After Yuzhan finished speaking, she stepped aside and waited, it seemed that she had probably received an order to follow Gu Qingwan over.
Gu Qingwan was wearing a new dress, but it was not easy to wear out, so she called the peach branch and laurel leaf into the inner room to serve her to freshen up. Seeing that Taozhi opened the box and rummaged through the clothes to be worn, Gu Qingwan took some broken silver and stuffed it into a small purse, and said to Gui Ye: "You go to talk to Yuzhan and inquire about the reason why the old lady suddenly found me out." ”
Gui Ye pinched the purse, and her heart was a little sour. The third girl, who has always been straight, now knows that the Tao has made the silver come to talk, and she thinks that this time she has really learned a lesson.
When Guiye lifted the curtain and went outside, Taozhi had already turned around and looked for clothes, but he didn't pick out a few pieces for a long time. Gu Qingwan stepped forward to take a look, and picked out an eight-taina halo spring brocade robe from the clothes that had been made a year ago, with the emerald brocade feather satin cloak hanging on the shelf.
Taozhi couldn't help but praise again, and waited for Gu Qingwan to freshen up.
When Gu Qingwan put the royal blue dot emerald bead hairpin in, Gui Ye lifted the curtain and came in. Seeing Gu Qingwan raise her feet and prepare to go outside, she leaned in and said, "Girl, it's the eldest aunt and grandmother who came back and interceded in front of the old lady." ”
Gu Qingwan's steps paused, and then said, "But you accepted it?" ”
Gui Ye understood and hurriedly responded: "I pushed it for a while, but I still accepted it." ”
Gu Qingwan nodded, just accept it, and accept it proves that the old lady is probably softened by the eldest girl. If you don't accept it, the matter is really serious. She was new to the city, and although she felt that the clean life in the Yuanxiang Pavilion was not bad, she didn't want to be trapped in a small courtyard all the time.
"Peach Branch, come with me to Tansong Courtyard, Guiye, you guard the house." In the past, it was customary to do this, but now Gu Qingwan specially mentioned it, although Guiye was surprised in her heart, she still responded.
Taozhi glanced at Guiye obliquely, and then followed Gu Qingwan's side and walked out of the road triumphantly.
Yuzhan still stood there quietly, as if her footsteps hadn't moved. Seeing Gu Qingwan come out, she didn't urge, just smiled: "Today is the day for the second girl to add makeup." ”
This can be regarded as a kind reminder, Gu Qingwan hooked the corners of her mouth and glanced at Yuzhan, then turned sideways and pointed to the small box held in Taozhi's hand and said, "Thank you Sister Yuzhan for reminding me, I prepared the second sister's makeup gift a long time ago, and I was still thinking about whether there was a chance to send it away." ”
The old lady has six big maids, and the jade cup is the least outstanding one among them. It's not as funny as Bao Tian and Jin Hai, it's not as likable as Peony and Hibiscus, and it's not as good as Jade Pan's ability to comb her hair with one hand. It's just that the big and small things in Tansong Courtyard are really inseparable from her.
The old lady asked the jade cup to supervise herself, I'm afraid she was very uneasy.
Gu Qingwan thought about it, but still followed Yuzhan's steps all the way to the corridor.
Yuanxiang Pavilion and Tansong Temple are a quarter of an hour away, which is not too far. Because there is a happy event in the house, the garden can probably be decorated, but I can see a trace of festive atmosphere.
The old lady was afraid of the cold, and in February, there was still a dragon burning in the house. Gu Qingwan untied her cloak, and the jade cup went in to pass the word, but Gu Qingwan waited outside for a while before someone passed her in.
The old lady of the Gu family is just sixty years old this year, and she will be celebrating her sixtieth birthday at the end of next month, and she has already begun to plan for it a year ago. However, her face did not look old, but became more and more kind.
It's just that the third girl doesn't like this grandmother who doesn't say anything, and it's half because Mrs. Gu is too partial.
Gu Qingwan's eyes swept and she saw the woman sitting next to the old lady, she was wearing a Yunfei makeup satin woven colorful flower butterfly brocade dress, and the half-turned bun was dotted with small Dongzhu, in addition to other jewelry, it made people more and more elegant and outstanding.
"Blessed with a generous opening ruler, and the same garden as the moon to ten points", this eldest girl of the Gu family has not known how many people have been envious since she was a child.
The eldest lady Zhaocheng is the younger sister of King Huai's mother, and the cousin of Emperor Jingde.
When he was still the crown prince, he was assassinated when he went down to the south of the Yangtze River, and it was King Huai who saved him desperately. Jinshang is safe and sound, but because King Huai blocked a sword for Jinshang, the meridians of his left wrist were broken, and one of his good hands was so wasted.
Later, he succeeded to the throne today, and still thanked King Huai for saving his life, and he was very important to King Huai, and now King Huai's Mansion is the time when flowers are cooked with brocade fire oil. How many people want to climb the friendship of King Huai, but King Huai is very low-key and never forms a party for personal gain, and most people can't find a way out.
It's a pity that Prince Huai's heirs are not prosperous, only a son and a daughter born by Princess Huai. As soon as the son-in-law was born, he set up a son, and the sister-in-law Zheng Yu gave the title of county lord. Three years ago, Fanbang proposed to marry, the eldest princess had already married, the second princess was still young, and the queen was asked for a decree in front of the palace, and Zheng Yu sealed the princess out of the plug and kiss.
Today, he is naturally grateful for the righteousness of the king, and he is more and more important to him.
Now the prince of Huaiwang has not yet said that he is married, and the only one who is close to Huaiwangfu is the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion.
The eldest lady Zhaocheng has only one daughter from the eldest girl, and she has been protected like an eyeball since she was a child, and she has to ask the imperial doctor to come to the house to see if she coughs. Gu Qingshu grew up under the old lady's knees, and it wasn't until she had an independent yard after she was ten years old that she moved out of Tansong Courtyard.
Gu Qingshu is protected by the eldest lady and the old lady, and it can be said that she wants the wind and the rain in the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion. She has lived in fine clothes and food since she was a child, and when she reached the age of saying goodbye, the people who proposed her relatives were about to break through the threshold of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion. Later, the eldest lady chose the eldest son of the Zhenguo Mansion.
The eldest girl's relatives are personally married, and the first two lifts of the dowry are rewarded by the palace. Gu Qingwan vaguely remembered the day when the Zhenguo Mansion came to carry the dowry, the first dowry arrived at the Zhenguo Mansion, and the last dowry was still waiting in the Dingyuan Marquis' Mansion.
On the contrary, Gu Qingshu is not coquettish and willful, but she is very reasonable and sensible, but she has a smooth life, and her temperament is inevitably a little arrogant.
Not to mention the girls in this house, they are the second and fifth girls, she is not very close to them on weekdays, but she only looks at Gu Qingwan with blue eyes, that is, she has some fresh food and things, and the first thing that comes to mind among the sisters is Gu Qingwan. It was precisely because of Gu Qingshu's other eyes that Gu Qingwan was even more hated.
In Gu Qingwan's impression, the old lady was able to tolerate Gu Qingwan to this point, and Gu Qingshu was indispensable. This time, I am afraid that Gu Qingshu coaxed the old lady to be happy, and the old lady let her out of the Yuanxiang Pavilion.
It's just that no matter how Gu Qingwan thinks about it, she can't think of why Gu Qingshu treats her so well.
is that the biological father can't tolerate the three girls, let alone Gu Qingshu, who is separated by a layer? The reason for this, I'm afraid that even the three girls themselves don't understand. It's just that although she doesn't understand, she accepts Gu Qingshu's favoritism with peace of mind.
But Gu Qingwan can't, the countless lessons of more than ten years have made her keep in mind that no one will be good to a person for no reason, unless she wants to get something from you.
