021 Uninvited
When Taozhi came back from the big kitchen empty-handed, Hongjin had already come back with hot water, and Gu Qingwan also changed her clothes and finished grooming under the service of Gui Ye.
Peach Branch's eyes could almost tear the laurel leaf alive, but this time Guiye did not bow his head and be silent as usual, but glanced at Peach Branch with a smile. Taozhi's eyes were on fire, and she let out a disdainful hum from her nose, and looked at Gu Qingwan aggrievedly.
Waiting on the side, Hong Jinse shrank for a moment, and then walked out of the water quickly.
And Gu Qingwan didn't seem to see the interaction between Taozhi and Guiye, she looked at the bronze mirror and looked at her clothes, and said, "Taozhi, what are you still doing standing stupidly, if you don't leave, I'm afraid it's really too late." ”
Taozhi looked at Gu Qingwan's back as she opened the curtain in a daze, and realized that Gu Qingwan chose to take her to the Humble Administrator's Hall, and immediately raised her chin proudly towards Gui Ye. No matter how Guiye pleases the three girls, she is the one who values the girl in the end.
Seeing the smug look of the peach branch, Gui Ye just hooked his lips and smiled, and watched the peach branch come out, and then opened the cage and sorted it out according to Gu Qingwan's secret instructions.
Gu Qingwan actually didn't get up too late, although Hongjin went to the kitchen to fetch water and delayed for a while, it was enough for her to go to the Humble Administrator's Hall leisurely. As soon as she got out of the verandah, she saw that there were people walking towards the Humble Administrator's Hall not far ahead, Gu Qingwan looked at it, but it turned out to be the seventh girl Gu Qingyan and her maid Guiling.
This time, the seventh girl was not forced to appear in a group by the sixth girl, so she did not let Gu Qingwan feel the thinness of the seventh girl in strong contrast. It's just that she still has heavy jewelry on her head and body, and her neck seems to be too pressed to lift.
The seventh girl had just turned ten years old, because the girls in the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion had an independent courtyard when they were ten years old, so the seventh girl moved out of Aunt Zeng's courtyard at the end of last year, and now lives alone in the Junyu Pavilion. Junyu Pavilion is not a very good courtyard, it is very far away from Old Madam Gu's Tansong Courtyard, and it is also some distance from Jinhui Hall.
It's just that the seventh girl's temperament is silent and weak, and she probably never dares to say no. Moreover, although Aunt Zeng is the old lady's maid, she does not have the old lady's blue eyes, and the little Sun family naturally values Aunt Zhang, who is carried up by the maid to marry, and the mother and daughter of the seventh girl have no sense of existence in this mansion.
It's no wonder that the sixth girl, Gu Qingjie, always stands tall in front of the seventh girl.
Guiling seemed to be very vigilant, although Gu Qingwan walked quietly behind her, she still looked back and saw Gu Qingwan, and pulled the seventh girl who had a somewhat unsightly face after seeing Gu Qingwan.
"Third sister!" As soon as the seventh girl spoke, she immediately realized that her voice was too high, so she just shrunk her shoulders and looked at Guiling on the side a little helplessly.
Gui Ling glanced at Gu Qingwan, and immediately saluted. However, the peach branch stood beside Gu Qingwan and accepted Guiling's salute, but he did not have the slightest consciousness to greet the seventh girl.
Gu Qingwan glanced at Taozhi, thinking that it was okay to do this, Taozhi was so unconsciously afraid that it was like this on weekdays. What lives in her body is a mature soul, but she really can't do the brutal posture of a child like the original three girls, and the arrogance that Momozhi learned from the third girl makes up for this slightly.
With such a good shield, how could she be willing to return it to Xiao Sun?
"Don't be polite, I thought I was going late, but I didn't expect Xiao Qi to go so late. If we're still grinding here, I'm afraid the two of us will be the last to arrive. "The seventh girl is even the sixth girl who is a little afraid, not to mention that she, the third sister who has always walked in the house with rudeness, is a little cringeful in her description.
Gu Qingwan saw the dodging eyes of the seventh girl, but she had a bad heart for a while, took a few steps forward and took the seventh girl's hand and smiled: "Okay, Xiao Qi, what are you still doing in a daze, let's go." ”
The body of the seventh girl froze instantly, and she could only let Gu Qingwan half-drag and half-pull to the Humble Administrator's Hall.
Calm down! Calm down! The seventh girl stared at herself with round eyes and admonished herself in her heart, and an exclamation on her lips was finally swallowed by her.
Guiling didn't expect Gu Qingwan to hold Gu Qingyan's hand affectionately, she opened her mouth, and the sluggish look on her face was instantly replaced by numbness, so she could only follow behind Gu Qingwan and Gu Qingyan step by step, for fear that Gu Qingwan would harm her girl.
In addition to the continuation of Xiao Sun's family, the second master also has two aunts, even several, who are just waiting to be carried out when they are pregnant. Although Gu Qingwan only competes with the Xiaosun family on weekdays, she doesn't look down on these aunts who have a room, and she doesn't look down on the girls from her aunts.
The four girls in the big room don't mention it, the two girls in the second room, the third girl only has a sense of existence when the sixth girl angers her on weekdays, as for the seventh girl who has no sense of existence since she was a child, the third girl has always treated her as air.
Now it's intimate...... Momozhi smacked her lips and found that she had also distanced herself from Guiling, so she trotted to follow.
She can't guess what the third girl thinks now, and people are getting harder and harder to serve. The second lady agreed to her, and as soon as the third girl came out of the cabinet, she would return the deed of her whole family, and she only needed to stay up in the cracks until the third girl got married.
Listening to the news from Jinhuitang, the third girl's family affair is afraid that it will not be far from ten. The cousin of the Cao family, Taozhi, has also seen it, and he is a talent, and Taozhi is also a little smart, so he naturally knows that the Xiaosun family has no feelings for Gu Qingwan. Now that Xiao Sun's attitude is so positive, I am afraid that there will be some waves in it.
Taozhi glanced at the backs of Gu Qingwan and the Seventh Girl in front of her, and was ruthless. What the second lady thinks, and what she does, she just needs to do her duty.
Because it was only the male in the family, the eldest lady only asked people to renovate two tables, which could be placed in the pavilion in the middle of the lake. When Gu Qingwan and the seventh girl arrived, except for Old Lady Gu and the third lady in the third room, everyone else was seated.
Gu Qingwan let go of the hand holding the seventh girl in the surprised eyes of everyone, and sat down in her seat with her eyes and nose. The girls opened a separate table in the west, Gu Qingwan is now the largest in the family, so she sat in the main seat, the fourth girl Gu Qingrao sat on her right, the seventh girl Gu Qingyan sat on the left hand, and the fifth girl Gu Qingyan was sitting opposite.
Not long after she sat down, the eldest lady slowly walked over to this side with her arms, and the old lady Gu seemed to be in great interest, and her face was very ruddy from a distance.
The position where Gu Qingwan was sitting was a dead end, because there was a column in the middle of the lake pavilion, but she couldn't see the panoramic view of the road. She only heard Gu Qingrao beside her secretly take a breath, then tidied up her clothes in a panic, and touched her hair again, and then stood up in a panic.
All the ladies and girls stood up to say hello to Old Madam Gu, and Gu Qingwan naturally stood up as well, only then did she know what Gu Qingrao's gasping sound was.
Old Madam Gu was supported by the two ladies, the one on the left was naturally the eldest lady, and the one on the right Although Gu Qingwan had only met twice, she also knew that the lady was the wife of the current Huai Wang, and the current Huai Wang Princess.
Princess Huai Meng is also from a famous family, several generations of scholars, the ancestors of the Meng family have produced three emperors and two first assistants. This eldest uncle who is pregnant with the princess is the current holy concubine.
Although Meng Taifu died early, the entire Meng family moved back to their ancestral hometown, and no one has come out so far, but the husbands of the girls of the Meng family are all one in a million. Concubine Jing in the palace is the eldest daughter of the Meng family's big house, although there is only one princess, but now she is still a saint. This princess Huai is the second girl in the second room of the Meng family.
is the other girls of the Meng family, most of whom are also the grandmothers of the family. The intricacies of the disc are not to be underestimated.
Speaking of this princess, I don't know how many people I envy. There is only one concubine in King Huai's mansion, and there are no other side concubines and the like, and King Huai only has one eldest son and a girl.
In fact, Princess Huai's appearance is not outstanding, and in front of the eldest lady from the royal family, Lord Zhaocheng, she is even more overshadowed by comparison. This is also what makes her enviable, she is not very beautiful, but she has let King Huai not take a concubine for so many years.
But in Gu Qingwan's opinion, Princess Huai probably has the temperament of a superior person, although she is dressed very plainly, it cannot be ignored.
Although Mrs. Gu is an elder, the ceremony cannot be abolished, and the ladies and girls naturally salute Princess Huai first.
"Hurry up, let's have a relationship, how can there be so many courtesies to talk about." Princess Huai's eyebrows bent and let everyone get up, and she and the eldest lady supported Old Madam Gu to sit down, "Okay, sit down, if everyone is so restrained, I shouldn't be here today." ”
When all the ladies listened to Princess Huai's words, they all looked at the eldest lady, and they were all relieved to see that she was also smiling.
"In previous years, I had to come to the house to ask for a glass of water and wine to eat before and after the Hua Dynasty, but this year the county lord didn't give me a post, so I was so nervous that I came uninvited. Don't be surprised if it disturbs the temperament of the ladies. Princess Huai resolutely refused to sit on the first seat, but invited Mrs. Gu to the first seat, and she sat on the right side of Mrs. Gu.
Although the girls opened a table alone, Princess Huai came unexpectedly, and Gu Qingwan didn't want to fall on the first seat, so she motioned Gu Qingrao to move a seat next to her. Gu Qingrao didn't dare to make a mistake at this time, but she also moved her seat a little reluctantly, and the first seat of their table was vacant.
"Sister-in-law can come, it's too late for me to be happy, how can I see the strange." The eldest lady sighed again, "I originally wanted to give my sister-in-law a post, but I didn't dare to make too much trouble at this moment, just think about it." ”
