047 Go to the feast

Speaking of the maid in Old Madam Gu's Tansong Courtyard alone, compared to the jade plate that went out with her last time, Gu Qingwan preferred the taciturn jade cup, but obviously the jade cup needed more precautions than the jade plate.

After Gu Qingyan learned of Old Madam Gu's plan, she was finally relieved, she was in good spirits, but she also wanted to lead Gu Qingwan to speak from time to time. Unexpectedly, Gu Qingwan had a calm face all the way, but it made Gu Qingyan feel bored, and seeing the jade cup on the side was very silent, Gu Qingyan could only bite her ears with Xingyu who was waiting beside her.

The imperial palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty is located in the center of the capital, out of the palace gate, and the area close to the palace is mostly the mansion of the noble family. The Marquis of Dingyuan started with military merits when he was in Gaozu, and at that time he bought a house on the South Street near the palace, and now the South Street has already been an inch of land.

After the eldest lady married into the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion expanded a lot to the sides and the back, and it took a long time to get her wish.

And Princess Huihe's Mansion is only two streets away from the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion.

Gu Qingwan closed her eyes and took a nap for a while, and the carriage stopped. It was very quiet in front of the princess's mansion, and only the sound of wheels and bones remained, which made Gu Qingwan panic inexplicably.

After entering the corner gate, the carriage continued to travel for a while, and then changed to the palanquin of the princess's mansion. Gu Qingwan and Gu Qingyan sat in a small sedan chair alone, and they no longer had to endure Gu Qingyan's strange gaze, Gu Qingwan breathed a sigh of relief. After entering the second door, he changed to a rough mother-in-law to carry a sedan chair, but he tossed for a long time over and over again.

Although there are many small things in the inner courtyard, they are not as particular as the princess's mansion. Gu Qingwan could only sigh that the rules of the princess's mansion were too big.

It wasn't until she entered the flower hall that Gu Qingwan felt relieved. She turned her head to look at Gu Qingyan, but saw that Gu Qingyan had already moved into the crowd and started talking with a few familiar girls. It's just that these girls are all daughters of the family, and no one has ever looked down at Gu Qingyan. There is no one to hold the moon in the stars, and Gu Qingyan naturally feels a little lost.

Gu Qingwan no longer paid attention to Gu Qingyan, but sat down in the corner by herself, but she didn't expect that after a while, Gu Qingyan beckoned to her and said, "Third sister, come and sit here." Miss Ke said that there are still people who have not arrived, and I am afraid that they will have to wait for a while. ”

Gu Qingwan glanced at the girl sitting next to Gu Qingyan, but she never remembered who she was, but this girl had the same surname as Master Ma, and seeing her cowardly look, she could guess a few points.

Gu Qingyan called her so swaggeringly, and now most of the people in the flower hall have turned their attention to her.

Pursed his lips. Gu Qingwan got up and walked in the direction of Gu Qingyan.

The girl looked delicate and soft, and she looked a little weak. Seeing Gu Qingwan coming, she hurriedly moved to the side, vacating a seat between Gu Qingyan and her.

Gu Qingwan couldn't refuse her, so she had to sit down between the two of them.

After talking for a while, Gu Qingwan learned that this Miss Ke was indeed the concubine of the Horse Master, the youngest eighth girl of the Marquis of Jinxiang, Ke Yahe. Since childhood, he has been raised under the name of Mrs. Ke.

Speaking of this Ke girl. Gu Qingwan remembered something about her again. Ke Yahe is over 16 years old this year, and she said a family affair a few years ago, and the official media just came to the door and drowned. Later, he said a family affair, and the little decision was made, but the man died of illness a year later.

So this Miss Ke's family affair was delayed, and she was rumored to be "Kefu" in Beijing, but no one came to ask for marriage.

Thinking about it, Gu Qingwan felt that she was much luckier than Ke Yahe.

Ke Yahe is the sister-in-law of Princess Huihe. It's not surprising that it appeared in the Celestial Princess's Mansion today. Gu Qingwan couldn't help but laugh after glancing at Gu Qingyan, who had brought her and Ke Yahe together, and then talked to the girl on the other side of her.

I don't know what the third girl offended Gu Qingyan, she really found an opportunity and thought about stumbling on herself. She and Ke Yahe are both over fifteen years old and have not decided on their marriage, and no one has come to the door to say goodbye, so sitting together with such two people naturally won a lot of attention. Gu Qingwan glanced at it casually, but many people were talking in twos and threes, and secretly looked at her and Ke Yahe.

Gu Qingyan inevitably went too far this time, Ke Yahe never provoked Gu Qingyan from beginning to end, but she mercilessly put Ke Yahe together, too much.

Even so, Gu Qingwan just sat silently. This time, the five princes chose concubines, and the eldest princess asked them to come to enjoy the flowers with great fanfare, which was nothing more than Queen Chen borrowing the eyes of the eldest princess to pick people. But who knows if the eldest princess arranged these girls here, did she borrow Ke Yahe's eyes to observe them.

Say too much and make a mistake, this is what Gu Qingwan has always followed.

Ke Yahe saw that Gu Qingwan was just sitting and didn't speak, but she was a little cramped, and she didn't dare to come forward to talk at will. She has also heard the deeds of the three girls of the Gu family, and she is the most careless, if she says something that annoys her, the three girls will make a fuss, and the scene will not be easy to clean up.

After hesitating for a long time, Ke Yahe said in a low voice: "Today is the one who has caused Miss Gu." ”

When Gu Qingwan heard this, she felt that Ke Yahe was not bad, but she only snorted lightly.

After a long time of stiffening her eyes, nose, nose, and heart, Gu Qingwan felt relieved when she heard Xie Ningxin's voice: "Third Miss Gu, you really came today." After that, he pulled Gu Qingwan up and said with a smile, "What are you doing sitting here, I haven't seen you for a long time, talk to me alone." ”

Gu Qingwan nodded happily, and let Xie Ningxin pull her into the corner.

Gu Qingyan saw that Xie Ningxin was so affectionate to Gu Qingwan, and she didn't care about herself at all, and her silver teeth were about to be crushed. Ke Yahe, who was sitting on the side, lowered his head and laughed, and when he raised his head again, the smile on his face had long since disappeared.

Waiting to turn his back to everyone, Xie Ningxin's face was a little angry: "Sister Gu, don't you know that the one sitting next to you is the eighth girl from the Marquis Mansion of Jinxiang?" She is now sixteen, and she has said two family affairs before, but they have not succeeded, and the ladies in Beijing say that she ......"

It seemed that he felt that his words behind him were not very good, so Xie Ningxin didn't mention it anymore, but said, "You sit next to her, Liu Er doesn't know what Lu Dao is going to arrange again." ”

Xie Ningxin's "Liu Er" refers to Liu Biyu, the second girl of the Liang family of the Marquis of Pingyuan, who and the second princess are born from the same mother and are the niece of Concubine Xian. This Liu Biyun is the youngest daughter in the family, although she is not arrogant, she likes to talk very much, and there are no people and things that she can't arrange.

When she and Ke Yahe sat together, Liu Biyun looked at her the most times, and the strange smile on her face was the most annoying.

"She said her, now that I'm at this point, can I be afraid that she won't say anything more?" Gu Qingwan replied lightly.

Barefoot people are not afraid of wearing shoes, and her reputation in Beijing has already spread, otherwise she would not have been fifteen years old and no one would say goodbye. What does it matter if there is one more sentence or one sentence less?

Xie Ningxin was stunned, and only after a while did he laugh: "How can anyone make fun of themselves like this, no wonder the fifth prince always says that you are very funny." ”

Gu Qingwan's eyes quickly covered Xie Ningxin's mouth: "If you say this again, you want to harm me." ”

The expression on Xie Ningxin's face was a little sneering, she turned her head and looked around at the people in the room, and her tone was a little sympathetic: "The eldest princess let us come over to enjoy the flowers this time, and we all know what the idea is." This room is full of people, I'm afraid that none of them are willing to come. ”

These high-ranking daughters will naturally be able to have the right family affairs in the future. Although the princess is noble, but the fifth prince is a fool, what else does this princess mean.

Gu Qingwan was also a little silent.

"The Five Princes are just ...... It's just a lack of mind. After that, Xie Ningxin didn't know what to say for the fifth prince, so he could only sigh.

So what, even if she herself doesn't want to marry, what position does she have to complain about others.

"The princess has always liked cheerful people, if you want to learn, just follow the example of the girl from the Ke family, Princess Huihe will never look at you squarely." Xie Ningxin whispered in Gu Qingwan's ear.

Gu Qingwan had deliberately rejected Xie Ningxin because of Xie Ziran before, but after a few contacts, she felt that Xie Ningxin and the girls in Beijing were a little different. At least in Gu Qingwan's opinion, Xie Ningxin really wanted to be good friends with him. What she said and did was considered from her standpoint.

Seeing Gu Qingwan nodding, Xie Ningxin winked at Gu Qingwan again, and said to himself: "You are right to do what I say." "As for me, you don't have to worry." ”

As soon as Gu Qingwan wanted to ask the reason, there was a commotion outside. Gu Qingwan looked up and saw a lady in charge wearing a bullet flower dark pattern brocade dress walking in. The lady in charge swept her eyes, took a look at the people in the room, and then said loudly: "The princess has a banquet in the small garden, and I invite the girls to move." ”

Xie Ningxin didn't answer Gu Qingwan, but stood up with a slightly red face: "Okay, let's go over quickly, it's safe to blend in with the crowd." ”

Gu Qingwan didn't ask any more, and followed the maid who led the way all the way to the small garden.

Compared with Yiyuan, the small garden of the princess's mansion has a different artistic conception. Princess Huihe posted a post to invite people to "enjoy the flowers", but it was not for no reason.

June is the time when the lotus flowers bloom at their peak in the small garden, and the small garden can be called "the infinite green of the lotus leaves". Even in the hot summer, when I see the greenery of the lake, I feel that the wind blowing from the surface of the lake is cool.

The feast was set up in a pavilion by the lake, and even in the open-air pavilion, ice buckets were moved around it to cool down.

The girls sat down, and Princess Huihe led her concubine Ke Yunshuang into the verandah, and the whispering around them stopped.
