Chapter 18: Framed
When Gu Xinning heard this, she immediately opened her mouth in disbelief and said, "Pastry, sister doesn't you pay too much attention to ......?"
Then, as if he knew that he had said the wrong thing, Gu Xinning hurriedly covered his red lips in a panic, looking pitiful that he had done something wrong.
Gu Xinyue glanced at Gu Xinning, ignored her anymore, and said lightly: "This pastry was taught to me by my biological mother. ”
"I'm not as good at singing and dancing as my sister, and I can't dance that soul-stirring dance. "Gu Xinyue's eyes are full of shame" Some just wish all the wise men to be able to have a smooth and mighty career, knead all the small pastries, and hope that all the adults can make their wishes come true. ”
"The eldest daughter is really the eldest daughter, she teaches well, and her posture and character are also extremely upright......"
"It's not like that maid who doesn't know how to educate, and in front of everyone's eyes, her eyes are about to come out of the water......" The lady who spoke was full of unstoppable disgust in her eyes.
"You!" Gu Xinning was not angry because of the large number of people, and his nails dug deep into the flesh, so he barely resisted the urge to hit someone.
Gu Xinyue turned her head away from looking at her, lowered her head and whispered to the maid beside her, send the pastries as soon as possible.
Gu Xinning saw that she no longer paid attention to herself, and subconsciously looked up at her father, but found that Gu Chaoyang's face was serious, and there was a trace of displeasure in his eyes.
When Gu Xinning saw his father like this, his heart tightened and he didn't dare to make another move, he bypassed Gu Xinyue's position, hung his head, and sat behind Gu Xinyue.
"Father, ladies and gentlemen, this is the pastry made by the little girl herself. Gu Xinyue hung her head, looking gentle and virtuous, and said softly, "Please also taste it." ”
Many people carefully twisted the delicate pastry, only to see that the cake was kneaded into the appearance of plum blossoms, the petals were lubricated and transparent, the middle goose yellow two or three points, the stamen was wrapped in a bright red filling, and a light sniff only felt a burst of fragrance coming to the nose.
"When you look at this pastry, you know that it must be extraordinary. ”
"That's natural, after all, it's the concubine of the Gu Mansion, and the one who takes out her hand must be extraordinary. ”
Gu Xinning listened to these words, her heart was indignant, her eyes turned back, and she looked at a gray-clothed little girl holding something and walking out quickly, and she felt a little relieved in her heart.
Gu Xin smiled quietly, and his expression became extremely gentle, and his heart was happy, proud, nervous, and other emotions mixed together, stabilizing his mind.
The corners of Gu Xinning's mouth pursed this gentle smile, and his eyes swept over everyone's hearts with regret, I don't know how many more people will die from this condemnation?
She did what she had to do, and then it was up to them all to create.
Gu Xinning picked up a piece of preserved fruit, looked at Chen Ming opposite him, and smiled at him.
After Chen Ming saw his cousin's smile, he subconsciously smiled warmly at the other party, but he was puzzled in his heart.
Why did my cousin tell her before the banquet, don't touch the pastries made by Gu Xinyue herself, is there something unspeakable hidden in this small piece of pastry?
"Everyone, please take your time. Nangong Zhan suddenly got up and called out to the people who were about to add the pastry to their mouths.
Gu Xinyue's face was shocked, and her expression was full of confidence.
What kind of fame is this man going to make? Do you think you don't talk enough?
Nangong Zhan put the pastry to the tip of her nose and sniffed it gently, and when she looked at Gu Xinyue, she looked like a cynical person.
Gu Xinyue: What is this person doing?
"This pastry ......"
"Meow~"
Is there a cat meowing in the extremely silent hall?
Everyone followed the prestige, and a yellow and white fat cat, dragging its round body, ran to the banquet hall, stopped and sniffed, and jumped onto the dining table of a certain lady in a cute manner.
The cat was strange, he didn't eat fish or meat, and when he sniffed the plate of pastries, he immediately took a big gulp.
"This cat is so amazing that it doesn't eat fish or meat, and just falls in love with this fragrant pastry. ”
The kitten's tail dangled, raised its head and squinted and licked the corners of its mouth, and when it lowered its head and wanted to eat again, it suddenly fell down, and began to twitch uncomfortably, and finally bleed to death from its eyes, nose, mouth and ears.
The hall was dead silent.
Gu Xinyue was cold when she saw this, knowing that she had fallen into the trap of others again.
Looking sideways, sure enough, Gu Xinning sat behind her and smiled at her silently.
"Gu Xinyue, you are so bold!"
Gu Chaoyang slapped it with one hand, and the table under his hand was cracked.
Gu Chaoyang's eyes were full of anger, his face suddenly became extremely cold, and wisps of murderous aura spread around his body.
Seeing this, Gu Xinyue walked to the front, and immediately knelt down and looked up at Gu Chaoyang, with a serious face and a firm gaze: "Father!
"It's not you, someone is coming, and the person who cares for the snacks is pressed up. ”
Gu Xinyue's eyes froze, and she secretly screamed that it was not good.
In order to ensure that the pastries do not pass through the hands of others, Gu Xinyue can only send the trustworthy Ruoyan to take care of them, but she never thought that Ruoyan is simple-hearted and understands the undercurrents between people.
"Little ...... Miss!" Ruoyan's thin body was dragged all the way, and there were still undried tears on her frightened face.
"If you think about it. Gu Xinyue reached out and held Ruoyan's hand, allowing her to slowly calm down, "When you were in the back kitchen, did you ever leave those pastries, even if your eyes drifted away for a few seconds?"
"I ...... I was called out of the house by a man who said that you were looking for me, young lady, and I went out. ”
Ruoyan knew that he was not optimistic about the pastries, so he made the young lady angry, and immediately kowtowed in the direction of Gu Chaoyang, in a vain attempt to take the blame on himself.
"Tai Wei, this matter must not have been done by the young lady, but the slave and maid were blind and were taken advantage of by the gangsters, and almost caused a big disaster. ”
"Do you remember what that person looked like?" Gu Chaoyang asked.
"The slave doesn't know...... This man stood at the door and called the name of the slave and maid, and did not show his face. ”
Gu Chaoyang stared at Ruoyan tightly, and his sharp gaze stabbed straight at Ruoyan's back, making Ruoyan tremble even more.
"Someone, press this maid into the firewood room, and when this matter proves that it has nothing to do with her, then release the person. ”
"Miss..... help me... Miss is really not me...."
Ruoyan whispered to Gu Xinyue when the little girl grabbed her arm, and her cold hands grabbed Gu Xinyue's hands tightly, her eyes full of fear and pleading.
"Father, Daughter....."
"Don't let me say it a third time, if this matter has nothing to do with her, I will immediately order the person to be released. ”
When Ruoyan was dragged away, his hands kept scratching on the ground, and when he heard Gu Chaoyang's words, he didn't scratch as if he had accepted his fate, but opened his mouth slightly towards Gu Xinyue.
