Chapter 128: The eldest princess gives gifts
Mrs. Chu and Chu Yueli walked into the front hall one after another, and Master Chu's eyes were about to get angry, but he changed his appearance again, and said with a stiff face: "It's naturally good to dress up properly, but it really shouldn't be to make the eldest princess wait so long." ”
Chu Yueli bowed and said, "Father has taught me a lesson." ”
Seeing that Chu Yueli was carrying a curtain fence, Master Chu felt that his family education was strict, his face eased slightly, and he said to the person sent by the eldest princess: "I'm tired of waiting for the housekeeper for a long time." ”
Steward Gu glanced at Chu Yueli, with a slightly arrogant look, and said with a smile: "The third lady is knowledgeable and wise, and she is very happy with the eldest princess. The eldest princess ordered the servant to send a gift, and asked the third lady to accept it, and before entering the mansion, she would appreciate it more. ”
Steward Gu is about forty-five years old, with good facial features, a white beard, and a three-point smile on his face, which seems to be very decent, but he is a little arrogant. He was wearing a royal blue gown embroidered with dark red bamboo with rolling gold edges, a black belt inlaid with pearls and jade around his waist, a pair of black soap boots on his feet, and his hair was meticulously combed at the top, tied with a crown of gold hair inlaid with beautiful jade, which looked particularly noble. If he hadn't called himself a minion, who would have thought that such a figure dressed in gold and jade would be just a minion?! In his style, he is more than a star and a half stronger than Lord Chu!
The wealth of the Hou Mansion can be seen.
While Chu Yueli was looking at Steward Gu through the curtain, Steward Gu was also looking at Chu Yueli. It's just that Steward Gu's gaze only stayed below Chu Yueli's waist, looking like a standard slave listening to his master's questioning, rather than looking. In fact, people like Steward Gu are the best at observing words and feelings, and their eyes are the most vicious. He just swept it by the candlelight, and found the clue.
The situation of the third lady of the Chu family in the Chu Mansion is average, the dress material on her body is really ordinary, and looking like that, there are still some wrinkles and stains, which is obviously not a new dress. If you say that you don't have a clean dress to change your clothes, it's really an exaggeration, even if you are not favored, you still want to marry the Hou Ye as a concubine, how can you be treated so harshly? Moreover, he was ordered to come today, even if the Chu Mansion behaved, he would not treat the third lady like this. Well, there could be two reasons. First, the third lady of the Chu family didn't want to give Hou Ye Chongxi, so she deliberately neglected herself; The second is that the third lady of the Chu family is not in the house, so she hurried back.
In the mutual glance between Chu Yueli and Steward Gu, the little servant brought by Steward Gu held a wooden box one foot long and half a foot wide, walked up to Chu Yueli, and offered it with both hands.
According to etiquette, Chu Yueli was required to take the box with both hands to express her respect for the eldest princess. However, Chu Yueli's left hand has experienced a series of tragic encounters, and if it is taken out of the sleeve at this moment, it will definitely scare people, so Chu Yueli can only stretch out her right hand, directly hold up the wooden box, and say, "Princess Xie reward." ”
Steward Gu said, "Please also ask the third lady to see if the contents of the box are in good condition." ”
Chu Yueli raised her eyebrows and said secretly: This is the following.
Chu Yueli's hand was very steady, and she directly put the wooden box on the table, then quickly withdrew her hand, gently opened the box, and took out a thick blue book from it - "Women's Virtue"
Chu Yueli sneered in her heart, feeling that this eldest princess still really regarded herself as her mother-in-law. She hasn't married yet, and she is anxious to discipline her on how to be a qualified woman. Is this a slap in the face? No, this is a slap in the face of Chu Mansion! In the eyes of the eldest princess, the third lady taught by Chu Mansion is not worthy of marrying Hou Ye, so it is her turn to teach.
Chu Yueli took the thick book and looked at Lord Chu. Sure enough, his face was dark, but he kept trying to restrain himself and didn't dare to show it. looked at Mrs. Chu again, her eyes were silent, and she looked like she was indisputable. Chu Yueli didn't believe it, if Mrs. Chu's biological daughter Chu Zhenzhu was so humiliated on the eve of marriage, she would still be so calm.
Chu Yueli shook the heavy book and read it aloud: ""Women's True Walk"!
Lord Chu didn't take a smooth breath and coughed: "Ahem...... cough cough cough ......"
The corners of Steward Gu's mouth twitched, and he said, "Third Miss, the book given by the eldest princess is called "Women's Virtue". ”
Chu Yueli smiled, put down the book, and said embarrassedly: "Oh, I grew up in a village in the countryside when I was a child, and I didn't recognize a few words, so I made the housekeeper laugh." ”
Steward Gu said: "A woman's lack of talent is virtue." The third lady does not need to be presumptuous. ”
Chu Yueli sighed and said, "Great." Actually, just those three words, I'm still blindsided. I only know one female character, and she is definitely a talented and virtuous woman. ”
Steward Gu smiled and said, "It's not too early, so the slave will go back to talk back to the eldest princess." ”
Lord Chu and Mrs. Chu stood up one after another.
Lord Chu said: "Steward Gu is hard. ”
Steward Gu smiled and said, "Doing things for the eldest princess, how hard is it." After saying that, he gave a slight salute, glanced at Chu Yueli again, and then turned around and walked out.
Chu Yueli accompanied Steward Gu to go out, intending to give it away.
Mrs. Chu glanced at Gui Ru, who had some fists and feet.
Gui Ru took two steps forward and stepped on Chu Yueli's heel.
Chu Yueli felt someone coming behind her, and originally thought it was Mrs. Chu, but she didn't expect Gui Ru to step on the heel of her shoe. She could have raised her legs and kicked Fei Guiru, but at this time, she couldn't make a big move in front of Steward Gu, so she could only stumble forward with her strength.
When the curtain fell to the ground, Chu Yueli stabilized her body, slowly stood up straight, and looked at Steward Gu and the others.
Steward Gu thought that he had experienced strong winds and waves, and he had always been calm and dealt with it properly, but now after seeing Chu Yueli's black face, he was also frightened, and after gasping suddenly, he pointed at Chu Yueli's face and didn't say anything for a long time.
Guiru was startled, knelt on the ground suddenly, and said quickly: "It's the slave who followed too closely and accidentally stepped on the third miss, please punish the third miss." ”
After Master Chu eased up, he shouted to Chu Yueli: "Nonsense! ”
Mrs. Chu walked over quickly and said to Guiru: "Send the third lady back, this is ...... What a system this becomes! ”
Send it back? Wouldn't it be cool to send it back? Chu Yueli didn't believe it, Steward Gu would praise her for her proper manners and beauty when she went back. Although marrying Gu Hou is not a good way out, and it can even be said that she is desperate, she just doesn't want Mrs. Chu to be happy. She can choose not to marry Gu Hou, but she can't let others handle her marriage at will.
Chu Yueli shook off Guiru's hand and said to Mrs. Chu, "What's wrong with me blacking myself?!" Mother doesn't know that Gu Hou's body has never been very good. ”
Before Mrs. Chu could speak, Steward Gu was already furious, her face twitched twice, and she gritted her teeth at Chu Yueli and said, "Third Miss, is this disgusting Gu Hou's weak body?" ”
Mrs. Chu's eyes flashed with a hint of pride, but Master Chu was bursting with green muscles, and there was a lot of Chu Yueli's unclear explanation, so he wanted to kill his relatives in righteousness.
