On the second day, the Zhou family sent someone to carry the dowry, followed by the second girl out of the cabinet.

Gu Qingya is the only girl in the third room, and she is also a concubine, in addition to the dowry stipulated by the concubine in the public school, the third room is afraid that it is also subsidized a lot. Although she is far inferior to Gu Qingshu, the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Dingyuan, in terms of marriage, it can be regarded as a beautiful marriage.

Moreover, for the Zhou family, compared to Gu Qingya's dowry, they are afraid that they care more about these manuscripts that Gu Qingya will move in the future.

The only girl in the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion who has married outside the eldest girl, but she has a body at this moment, and the old lady Gu and the eldest lady naturally don't want her to run around. And Gu Qingya's second line, her sisters behind her have not yet decided to marry, and it is not easy to come forward for such a happy event.

Although Gu Qingwan's Yuanxiang Pavilion and the second girl's Yuehua Pavilion were far apart, they could also hear the noise over there.

It wasn't until Gu Qingya returned to the door on the third day that Gu Qingwan saw Zhou Jue's appearance through the curtain. Only then did she admit that although Gu Qingrao said that Zhou Jue was a "nerd" and had an element of jealousy, this Zhou Jue did give people a feeling of inresponsiveness.

Waiting for Gu Qingya to accompany Zhou Jue to greet the elders of the Gu family one by one, while Gu Qingwan and the girls gathered in the room next to the side hall to talk and laugh.

said that they were laughing together, but only the fourth girl Gu Qingrao and the sixth girl Gu Qingjie were talking around Gu Qingyan, Gu Qingwan was a little sad about Mrs. Gu's attitude in front of Aunt Cao for the past few days, and she was just sitting on the side with a calm face at the moment. However, the girls of the Gu family all knew that the third girl was uncertain, but no one felt abnormal, and naturally no one took the initiative to talk to Gu Qingwan to find bad luck.

And Gu Qingyan, the seventh girl who has always been used to being snubbed, sat diagonally opposite Gu Qingwan, and carefully raised her head from time to time to look at Gu Qingwan. It's just that when Gu Qingwan looked at her slightly, she immediately lowered her head and pretended to take a sip of the tea in her hand.

After repeating this three or four times, Guiling on the side finally couldn't help it, and hurriedly stepped forward and whispered in the seventh girl's ear: "Girl, you drink tea, drink tea, don't keep looking at the third girl, don't you see that the third girl is in a bad mood today." After that, she reached out and took the teacup in Gu Qingyan's hand again, "Besides, the girl's teacup is also empty, I'll pour another cup for the girl." ”

Gu Qingyan's face turned red, so she quickly let go, and when Guiling refilled the tea, she asked softly, "Don't you think that the third sister has been looking at me?" Besides, how do I think that the words and deeds of the third sister are so weird after being grounded, the fourth sister was thorny in her words, and the third sister actually smiled and said the following. actually didn't get angry, but the fourth sister herself was not angry."

Since she was a child, her biological mother, Aunt Zeng, warned her that if she wants to survive well in this house, she must watch more, listen more and talk less. Although Gu Qingyan is not smart, she is the truth to Aunt Zeng's words.

Maybe it's because the Seventh Girl is used to secretly observing the people around her, so when everyone thinks that Gu Qingwan's temperament has only changed after a lesson, she can detect the subtle differences.

However, Aunt Zeng also said that everyone in this house wears masks, and her heavy head jewelry is the mask that Aunt Zeng put on her. Could the arrogant and arrogant personality in the past also be the mask of the third girl, Gu Qingwan?

The more Gu Qingyan thought about it, the more she felt that it was possible, and secretly decided that after she went back, she would definitely go to Aunt Zeng to discuss today's discovery with her.

"My girl, if you hadn't looked at the third girl from time to time, how could she have noticed you?" Guiling sighed with a smile, and said, "Today is the second girl's return to the door, and the elders and young masters in each room are here, you just bow your head and don't speak, don't stare at the third girl anymore." ”

As soon as Gu Qingyan wanted to nod, a maid came outside the curtain to spread the word, saying that there were no outsiders in the side hall, and let all the girls go to the side hall to meet the new aunt.

Gu Qingrao was the first to stand up, she had been in the room for half an hour, she was already a little impatient, and now when she heard this, how could she still sit still. Gu Qingrao wanted to leave, naturally she would not leave Gu Qingyan behind, she looked at the six girls next to Gu Qingyan, and took Gu Qingyan's arm affectionately, and the two went to the curtain hand in hand.

Although they are both concubines, the fourth girl, Gu Qingrao, is a girl from the big house, and in the past few years, she has relied on the support of the eldest lady and often shakes her face in front of other concubines. Gu Qingjie didn't dare to fight, so she could only glance at Gu Qingrao's back resentfully, and seeing that there was no one to accompany her, she said to Gu Qingyan who was shrinking in the corner: "Xiao Qi, come here, let's go out together." ”

Gu Qingyan glanced at Guiling in embarrassment, and then moved to the side of the sixth girl.

At this time, it seemed that Gu Qingwan was very unsociable. Taozhi looked at the resentment in her stomach, and was about to speak, when she saw that Gu Qingwan had already stood up and glanced at her lightly, and immediately swallowed her words.

Gu Qingwan nodded approvingly, and the look on Taozhi's face was a little more uplifted.

On that day, Taozhi really followed Gu Qingwan's wishes, and personally went to Jinhui Hall to collect blood swallows, and naturally said the news of Gu Qingwan and Gu Cunke's meeting in front of Xiao Sun. Although Xiao Sun didn't care about it on his face, he really didn't embarrass Taozhi, and gave her an extra penny.

Taozhi can be proud of the three girls for so long, naturally she is a little smart. After this battle, she pondered how to find a relationship between Gu Qingwan and Xiao Sun. The third girl has opened her mind, and she is no longer as easy to fool as before, and now she can only see what is true and false, and she can see what someone says.

She tried it carefully for a few days, and the results were immediate.

Gu Qingwan no longer cared about Taozhi's careful thoughts, and when she saw that the "fat and thin" duo had opened the curtain, she followed them and walked out together.

The side hall was as lively as expected, except for a few rooms in the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, there were many people from the Gu family's own family, and these juniors were all the way to the past. Gu Qingwan took a cursory look, except for her new aunt Zhou Jue, there were some female dependents in this room.

Everyone sat in the order of the eldest and youngest, Gu Qingshu did not return to the house, Gu Qingya sat with the old lady above, and Gu Qingwan naturally sat down first.

Sitting next to Gu Qingwan was an aunt surnamed Ye from her family, and when the girls of the Gu family saluted, she was the one who laughed the most.

Zhou Jue was afraid that it was the first time he had seen so many unfamiliar women, but he was a little overwhelmed, obviously it was still early spring, and he was forced to sweat beads the size of beans on his head. Old Madam Gu naturally saw his predicament, and when the girls of the Gu family saluted each other, they hurriedly sent Zhou Jue to the outer courtyard.

As soon as Old Madam Gu spoke, Zhou Jue hurriedly said goodbye and fled out of the side hall.

Gu Qingyan pursed her lips and laughed softly, the fourth girl Gu Qingrao and the sixth girl Gu Qingjie had sarcastic expressions, the youngest seventh girl looked at the scene in front of her blankly, and the third girl was expressionless.

Which of these female dependents of the Gu family is not a human spirit, the expressions of the girls of the Gu family have already been fully seen by them, and they do not mention each other in their hearts. No matter what they thought in their hearts, in front of Old Madam Gu, they were naturally compliments.

Old Madam Gu was talking to Gu Qingya above, although she didn't like Gu Qingya's cold temperament, but she had to at least show her grandmother's love in front of people. The ladies sitting in front of them watched Gu Qingya and Old Madam Gu talk seriously, interjecting a sentence or two from time to time.

The ladies sitting in the back couldn't interject, so they naturally asked the other girls of the Gu family to talk, or talk in twos and threes.

The aunt of the family, Ye Shi, watched everyone find the people around them to talk, and her expression was a little hesitant. She secretly glanced at Gu Qingwan, and then smiled: "When I came to add makeup to your second sister some time ago, I didn't see the third girl, I heard the old lady say that you are sick, but now you are completely better?" ”

Gu Qingwan has been staying at home for more than a month, so naturally someone will talk about it, and the official answer given by Mrs. Gu is that Gu Qingwan is seriously ill and needs to recuperate in bed. Although the people in the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion knew that the three girls were grounded, the people outside thought that the three girls of the Gu family were sick.

"Thank you aunt for your concern, everything is fine now." Gu Qingwan lowered her eyes and responded, her attitude was that she had no desire to talk.

Ye Shi laughed: "I just came back with your cousin's foreign appointment, and I haven't visited the house for more than ten years, and I happened to catch the second girl out of the cabinet." I think I hugged you when you washed the third year, and your mother and I can still talk, but it's a pity...... Now that you've grown so big, I've seen Brother Ke just now......"

As if realizing that his feelings were out of place, Ye Shi hurriedly accepted the words, and the smile on his face brought a hint of embarrassment.

When Gu Qingwan heard Ye's emotion, her eyebrows moved, and she smiled back: "No wonder I look at my aunt a little blind, in terms of intimacy, our two families are extremely close, and we will have to communicate more in the future." ”

Ye nodded, the smile on his face was very sincere.

Gu Qingwan secretly calculated, if you talk about the relationship between the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion and the branch where the Ye clan is located, it is very close.

Gu Qingwan's generation only had two sons from the concubine, but the Gu family has always been distinct, and Taizu's mother-in-law was unwilling to let the concubine inherit the lord, so she inherited a concubine from a distant side branch to this room. This step-by-son is a brother of the great-ancestor of the branch where the Ye family is located.

If it is in terms of blood relationship, Gu Qingwan's current grandfather and Ye's husband are cousins and nephews.

It's just that in such a dynasty, the clan is more important than blood, and since the succession of that sister-in-law, the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion has deliberately alienated the Ye family. It was only after the step-by-son attacked the knight that the two branches had a relationship.
