"Old lady, this is a banquet in the Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion, and many famous ladies and ladies in Beijing will be invited, so let the Wan'er and Yue'er sisters go to see the world. It's a pity that my sister-in-law has suffered from the cold, and her body is not very good these days, otherwise she can go with us. Lu had a sincere smile on his face, as if he really wanted to push Gu Qingwan in front of everyone and let her show herself.

The old lady frowned slightly, Wan'er really rarely went to banquets, and she knew the reason, but after more than a month of teaching, Gu Qingwan was talented and intelligent, and she was already good at everything, since she had the opportunity to meet some noble girls, she was also happy.

So he said: "It's okay, you take the two sisters to see the world, our young lady from the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion will definitely not lose to others!" ”

When the Lu family heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said: "Yes, the daughter-in-law also has this intention, Wan'er Yue'er is very good, and she will never embarrass our town Yuanhou Mansion!" ”

After speaking, he glanced at Gu Qingwan with deep meaning, but saw her smiling slightly, sitting there steadily, as if nothing could shake her.

Gu Qingwan already knew in her heart that in the past, the Lu family always tried every means to prevent herself from participating in banquets, or when she participated in banquets, she made all kinds of stumbling blocks, so that she could show off her appearance and suffer the white eyes of others, and over time, Gu Qingwan did not like to participate in various banquets.

This time the Lu family took the initiative to go to the banquet by himself, it seems that the purpose is definitely not simple, after all, since her rebirth, she has suffered several losses, according to the Lu family's mind, I am afraid that she has been thinking about how to retaliate against her, right?

The banquet of the Hou Mansion, if you can embarrass yourself in front of outsiders, then it will definitely be much better than making a fool of yourself in the Hou Mansion in Zhenyuan, and it can get rid of the eyes of the old lady, and it will be very beneficial to make the old lady completely disgusted with herself afterwards.

Gu Qingwan didn't have to think about it, she knew what the Lu family had calculated, so she looked at her with a smile and said, "Second aunt, you have a heart!" ”

Lu had a slight strange feeling in his heart, as if he had revealed everything in Gu Qingwan's eyes, but after a closer look, he only found that Gu Qingwan was still smiling indifferently, and there was no trace of abnormality.

She secretly laughed at her heart, and also smiled at Gu Qingwan kindly, and said, "Wan'er, do you have suitable clothes for the banquet?" If not, the second aunt will prepare it for you! ”

"There is no shortage of clothes suitable for banquets, but there are no opportunities to wear them, and now they are still brand new in the box, but I have been growing up, and I don't know if the size is still appropriate!" Gu Qingwan said with some concern.

As soon as the old lady heard this, she was not happy in her heart, the eldest daughter of the dignified Hou Mansion didn't even have decent clothes to attend the banquet, she glanced at the Lu family, and said: "How do you do the second aunt, Wan'er is the eldest daughter, how can you not even have a dress to attend the banquet?" I'm embarrassed to ask her, shouldn't you take care of all these things? ”

Lu didn't expect Gu Qingwan to say such a thing in person, which made the old lady even more dissatisfied with herself, and she was angry in her heart, but she didn't dare to say it, so she could only say: "It's the daughter-in-law's negligence, in the past, Sister Wan'er was the most afraid of attending this kind of occasion, so most of the clothes she made were regular clothes, so I went and ordered someone to make it for Wan'er!" ”

"Then there is Aunt Lao, Wan'er was ignorant in the past, but in the past, whenever she had to attend the banquets of various families, there were always various things happening, either her clothes were torn or injured, and gradually Wan'er was really afraid to attend the banquet!" Gu Qingwan also said with a look of self-reproach.

It's not that Lu deliberately didn't give himself a chance to show his face in front of people, and now he blames himself for not liking to attend the banquet, it's disgusting!

The old lady knew that Gu Qingwan had a delicate and domineering temperament in the past, and she couldn't get on the stage, so she turned a blind eye and didn't care about the little hands and feet that the Lu family did.

It's just that it's different now, Gu Qingwan was taught by her own hands, if she didn't have the opportunity to make a name for herself outside, wouldn't it be a waste of her scheming?

So he said: "In the future, you still have to make more friends, don't stay at home, the noble daughter of the family, you should stand out generously, don't say more, let your second aunt make more clothes at a time, ready to wear in the future!" ”

"Yes, thank you, grandmother!" Gu Qingwan said with a sweet smile.

Although the Lu family was not happy, in order to let Gu Qingwan enter the game, he had to accompany him with a smiling face and said: "What the old lady taught is that the daughter-in-law will go to prepare, and by the way, make a few clothes for Yue'er, she is also growing up fast now, and she has no time to change her clothes!" ”

"You make your own decisions, don't lose the face of my Zhenyuan Marquis's Mansion!" The old lady waved her hand, let the Lu family retreat, and explained Gu Qingwan and the precautions for attending the banquet before letting her leave.

Entering the Hou Mansion Flower Hall, the Lu family greeted the other ladies who had already arrived, while Gu Qingyue and Gu Qingwan followed behind and smiled, and greeted some ladies under the recommendation of the Lu family.

"Mrs. Gu, this must be the eldest lady of the Marquis of Zhenyuan's Mansion, right? It's really Peugeot, a beautiful embryo alive, why didn't you take her out before? "Mrs. Hou He is a straightforward person, and when she saw Gu Qingwan's dignified and decent appearance, she said the question in her heart.

The other ladies also looked at the Lu family, and they were also full of doubts, this eldest lady is not as delicate and domineering as rumored?

Lu was embarrassed for a while, and didn't know how to answer, Gu Qingyue saw her mother like this, and immediately jumped out and said: "My sister has never liked to participate in all kinds of banquets, she is troublesome, my sister has a temperament, she likes to ride horses the most, her mother always advises her to go out and move around more, and today it was my grandmother who spoke, and my sister was willing to come to the banquet!" ”

These words confirmed the rumors of Gu Qingwan's coquettish and domineering, which made many ladies have another view of Gu Qingwan, how can a noble girl from a family be so unremarkable, it's really funny!

He Shi's first impression of Gu Qingwan was very good, but when he heard Gu Qingyue say this, he inevitably felt a little regretful in his heart. is beautiful and decent, how can you be so domineering?

Gu Qingwan saw everyone's thoughts in her eyes, but she remained silent, still smiling at everyone without changing her face, just looking at Gu Qingyue's eyes slightly sad, and said, "Sister, you are young, I don't care about you, but how can you talk nonsense in front of so many ladies?" It's okay for outsiders to say that I'm coquettish and domineering, they don't know the truth after all! Every time I can't come to a banquet, isn't it because I always have an impromptu situation? Coincidentally, why do I have to do something before I go out every time, so I can't make the trip? ”

As soon as these words came out, the ladies present all knew it, who had not experienced the battle in the back house, but they didn't expect this Lu family to treat the concubine of the long house so harshly!

Everyone looked at the Lu family with a little disdain, and slandered in their hearts, it was her own niece, even if she didn't want to see Changfang's daughter, she couldn't bully it so blatantly, it was too undignified.

When Lu Shi heard this, his heart was churning with anger, but he couldn't have a seizure, he only glared at his daughter and said, "Qingyue, you are too ignorant, what did you explain to you at home?" Your grandmother is expecting her sister to show her face in the Hou Mansion today, how can you tear it down? ”

Gu Qingyue immediately said pitifully: "Sister, I'm sorry, Yue'er was negligent for a while, and she forgot her grandmother's explanation, don't be surprised!" ”

When the ladies heard this, their brows furrowed slightly, what the hell is going on? Could it be that the eldest lady of the Gu family was specially taught by her grandmother, so she pretended to be dignified, and Gu Qingyue was just straightforward for a while, so she said that she missed her mouth?

Gu Qingwan smiled with relief, took Gu Qingyue's hand, and said, "Silly sister, how could I blame you!" Before my grandmother came, I told me that I wanted to break the short-term and long-term, don't let people think that the eldest daughter of my Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion is really a person who can't be on the stage, facts speak louder than words, I think all the ladies are knowledgeable, and naturally they will not listen to rumors again! ”

As soon as Gu Qingwan's words came out, coupled with her calm and calm expression, she was so tolerant and generous to her sister's rudeness, standing there without speaking could also make people feel the confidence she exuded, compared to a young lady of the same age, she was more noble and calm, this is by no means a temperament that can be cultivated overnight.

Weiyuan Hou's wife He Shi immediately came out and said: "That is, Miss Gu's all-round style, how can she not be like a person who has never seen the world, think that those rumors are not true, a good young lady is actually arranged to have such a bad reputation, and in the future, the eldest lady of the Gu family will come out and walk around, and the rumors will naturally be self-defeating!" ”

"Yes, there must be someone with ulterior motives, the hearts of the ladies are like mirrors, how can the daughter of my Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion be a little family!" Seeing this, it was inconvenient for the Lu family to continue to bury Gu Qingwan, otherwise it would only make people think that she had bad intentions.

"That's it, it's ......" The ladies also agreed, no one doubted Gu Qingwan's temperament anymore, and they all thought that she was a decent and generous girl.

"Sister Princess, this Miss Gu is not only beautiful, but also has an excellent bearing, congratulations on having such a good future daughter-in-law." The more He looked at it, the more he liked it, and pulled Princess Zhao, who was good friends with her, and said enviously.

Princess Zhao beside the He family nodded with a smile, and said softly: "In the past, Miss Gu rarely attended banquets, and I have never seen her, but today it seems that Miss Gu is knowledgeable, dignified and generous, but I like it very much." ”

Saying that, she cordially took Gu Qingwan's hand and chatted warmly, Gu Qingwan replied decently and generously, which made Princess Zhao a lot less prejudiced against her.

"Sister Qingyue, you're finally here, I haven't seen you for a long time, the sisters who came today are in the back garden, hurry up and play with me!" A girl in a peach-pink dress walked from outside the flower hall, with a bright smile on her face, and greeted Gu Qingyue warmly!

The person who came was Zhao Yueli, the young lady of Weiyuan Hou's Mansion, Gu Qingwan remembered that in her previous life, Zhao Yueli befriended Gu Qingyue, but later this girl was used by Gu Qingyue and robbed her husband, Wei Wang Jicheng.
