Chapter 188
The list given by Jiang Xuehe was written by Gu Siyan, and everything on it was very detailed. There are a total of five girls who came back this time, all of whom are sisters of Gu Siyan's classmates.
In Hanshan Academy, there are three classmates who are good friends with Gu Siyan, namely Xie Heng, Meng Tingsheng, and Su Ziqing. The Xie family came to Xie Heng's twin sisters Xie Xuan and Xie Yu, the Meng family came to Meng Tingsheng's sister Meng Tingrou, and the Su family came to Su Ziqing's two younger sisters Su Zijin and Su Ziyi. It also says that Xie Xuan and Xie Yu both love Qionghua, Meng Tingrou loves peony, Su Zijin loves willow leaves, and Su Ziyi loves peach blossoms.
Gu Sixian wrote down all these and embroidered five embroidered fans according to their preferences. In addition, the return gifts for Xu Yirou, Shi Jiuniang, and Jiang Xiyue are also ready.
Gu Sixian also embroidered a few other handkerchiefs, just in case, although she didn't think anyone else would come over.
On the day of Gu Sixian and Lu, the whole family got up early to be busy for her, and the Gu Siyan brothers also took a day off. Because Gu Sixian's parents died, her brother and sister-in-law were the masters of this ceremony. Zhengbin is Jiang Xiyue, after all, she also has the grace to teach Gu Sixian. The praiser is Jiang Yunlan, and she and Gu Sixian have always been the best.
Jiang Xuehe didn't know what the etiquette in the capital should be, although she had done it before, everything was simple in the countryside. Before preparing for Gu Sixian, she also asked Shi Jiuniang, but Shi Jiuniang didn't know much about it, after all, the Shi family is a merchant, where will they abide by the rules of the Beijing family?
Jiang Xuehe couldn't help it, so she came casually in the end, anyway, she had prepared a few important steps, and the rest was as long as the guests and hosts were happy, right?
Gu Siyan also felt that the guests and hosts should be happy, after all, he didn't expect the girl's family to be a courtesy at first. After Jiang Xuehe proposed, he also asked a few classmates, and learned that what they did at home was similar to what Jiang Xuehe had prepared, and he also felt that this would be fine.
On the day of the ceremony, Gu Sixian wore a dress specially made for her by Jiang Yunlan, and her hair was scattered in front of her. Jiang Xiyue personally pulled her hair and inserted it into the hairpin, and after three times of dressing, the whole set of begonia headdresses was worn on Gu Sixian's head.
She was originally born beautiful, and after dressing up this time, she was even more extraordinary, which made people forget the vulgar. Xu Yirou saw it, but regretted that Xu Zixi, as a foreign man, could not witness such a scene.
After the ceremony, they left the place for the little girls to play by themselves. The classmates and sisters that Gu Siyan found were all knowledgeable and offered their gifts. There are hairpins and embroidered handkerchiefs. These little girls' embroidery work is not as good as Gu Sixian's, but Gu Sixian doesn't dislike it, and likes it very much. She was the first to recover so many gifts, and she also warmly gave her own gift in return. Because she was happy, she added a pair of silk flowers to the return gift.
Meng Tingrou smiled: "We are here to congratulate the gift, but now it has become a gift, and Ah Xian is too polite." ”
Gu Sixian said with a smile: "I just have this little craft, I just hope that my sisters will not dislike it." ”
"Who would dislike a skillful hand like you? It's too late for us to like it. Xie Xuan said with a smile, "I just embroidered hundreds of handkerchiefs, and it is not as valuable as this double-sided embroidered fan." ”
Xie Yu also smiled: "But isn't it? I think this embroidered fan and silk flowers are very elegant, why don't we take this embroidered fan and wear this silk flower to go out together another day? ”
"That's a good idea, and when the time comes, Ah Xian Yunlan and Yu Xuan will come together. In the past, it was always a few of us who played together and got tired of it, but now there are three more little beauties, and I just look forward to playing together in the future. Su Zijin said with a smile.
Su Ziyi said regretfully: "It's a pity that Sister Axian will get married soon, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to go out with us from time to time." ”
Gu Sixian couldn't help blushing. The wedding date is approaching, she is more nervous than anyone else, and she can't listen to other people's jokes at the moment, so she can't wait to cover her ears and hide her face and run away.
A few little girls were talking and laughing, and someone suddenly rumored that Du Jiao'e came to see her, and several little girls looked at each other, not understanding how the girl from Du Fuzi's family came.
Su Ziyi asked, "Is this also what your brother invited?" ”
Gu Sixian shook her head and said suspiciously: "No, my brother invited everyone to tell me in advance, how could there be one more person who is good?" ”
Su Zijin said with a smile: "Since Brother Ling didn't invite it for you, then it has nothing to do with you, and you don't have to pay attention to it, let's continue to play." The guests in front of him were handed over to Brother Ling and sister-in-law to entertain. ”
Gu Sixian also thought so, so she didn't think much about it and continued to play with the little girls.
Jiang Xuehe was still very puzzled when she learned that there was another little girl, and glanced at Gu Siyan with inquiring eyes, and Gu Siyan also shook her head.
"That's a girl from Dufuzi's family, although I have met twice, but I don't know her well, and it is impossible to invite her over." Gu Siyan frowned.
Jiang Xuehe said helplessly: "Since everyone is here, and it is your master's daughter, it is not easy for us to drive people out, right?" I can only welcome in. ”
It's just that uninvited, often uninvited guests.
Sure enough, after Du Jiao'e came in, her eyes were directly glued to Gu Siyan.
"I heard that Brother and Sister Gu had a ceremony today, so I came over with a gift to congratulate her." Du Jiao'e said, and opened the box in her hand with her own hands, only to see that the box contained a set of jade ornaments, which were worth at least more than a hundred taels of silver.
Gu Siyan and his wife felt very strange when they saw it, and they didn't understand how this girl could give such a heavy gift? She and Gu Sixian should have never met, right?
Gu Siyan refused: "Miss Du, let's take these things back, this gift is too valuable, and the sister can't accept it." ”
Du Jiao'e said with a smile: "Today is Sister Gu's ceremony, should this ceremony be accepted by Sister Gu, right?" ”
Jiang Xuehe smiled slightly: "In that case, Ruyue, you go and call Ah Xian out." ”
Diao Ruyue frowned, thinking that this person was really not good, in order to celebrate Gu Sixian, it was fake, and it was true to attract Gu Siyan's attention, right? Gu Siyan is only in her early twenties now, she is handsome, and she is also among the best in Hanshan Academy, so it is not surprising that she will be taken by such a little girl. It's just that I know that someone else has a wife at home, but I still have to get together like this, I'm afraid it's not a good girl.
Jiang Xuehe naturally thought of it, but it was the first time she met the little girl who came to the door for Gu Siyan, and she was curious to see what this girl was going to do.
Gu Sixian was still a little confused when she was called, and she didn't understand what this Du girl had to do with her.
Gu Siyan said coldly: "This Miss Du said that she came to congratulate you and Lu, and she also gave a heavy gift, asking you to decide whether to accept it or not." ”
Du Jiao'e was stunned for a moment when she looked at Gu Sixian, and then handed over the box with a smile. She was originally very confident, thinking that Gu Siyan was just a poor scholar, and Jiang Xuehe was a cheap businessman, even if she had the money to buy things for Gu Sixian, she was afraid that she would not have much taste, and would only pick some vulgar things.
And she is different, her father is the master of Hanshan Academy, and she has also been familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics since she was a child, and her taste is definitely better than that of ordinary village women. The few hairpins she carefully selected and bought were exquisite and elegant, and the price was not cheap, Gu Sixian, who had read books but had never seen much of the world, would definitely like it!
What Du Jiao'e didn't expect was that Gu Sixian was wearing it on her head and body, and there was nothing undecent, which was elegant and at the same time set off Gu Sixian's delicate and delicate, which was much stronger than what she was going to send. Even though her confidence was not as good as before, Du Jiao'e still handed over the things, hoping that Gu Sixian was shallow-eyed.
However, Gu Sixian is really not, she saw many good things from the Bai family when she was a child, and now the things that Jiang Xuehe gave her may not be as valuable as the Bai family, but they are all extremely exquisite, much better than those picked by Du Jiao'e. She glanced at the things in Du Jiao'e's hand and knew that she shouldn't accept it, she had no friendship with Du Jiao'e, and she shouldn't accept such a heavy gift.
"I shouldn't accept such a valuable gift, Sister Du should take it back."
Du Jiao'e smiled: "Why are these things valuable? It's not as good as the begonia flower head face that Miss Gu wears. ”
"This set of noodles was specially made for me by my sister-in-law, and it has a different meaning."
Du Jiao'e glanced at Jiang Xuehe at this time, she had always disdained Jiang Xuehe since she entered the door, and she didn't regard Jiang Xuehe as her opponent at all, and now she found out that Jiang Xuehe was a rare beauty.
Jiang Xuehe has not yet been filial piety, and she is still wearing a white dress, and some lotus dark patterns are embroidered with silver thread on the clothes. She combed a bun with clouds on her head, a white lotus silk flower was inserted obliquely on the side of the bun, and there were two strings of white jade pendants in her ears, which were simple and generous, and beautiful and moving. And she was born slender, wearing a wide-sleeved robe standing in the wind, floating like a fairy, as if she was going to return with the wind at any time.
Du Jiao'e naturally wished that she would go back directly by the wind, so as not to occupy the position of Gu Siyan's wife.
Liao Rulan told Du Jiao'e about Gu Siyan a long time ago, and Du Jiao'e didn't take it to heart at that time, until she met Gu Siyan in the academy at the beginning of the year. Gu Siyan has a handsome face and a dusty temperament, standing in a group of students like standing out from the crowd, which is unforgettable. Du Jiao'e glanced at it from a distance, and she was a little moved, and then she liked it even more when she heard him talk about it. It's just that after hearing that his name is Gu Siyan, Du Jiao'e's joy went to most of it, because she remembered what Liao Rulan told her.
Later, she went to cross the Snow River to relax, and saw Gu Siyan playing with a woman from a distance, and he saw that the woman's eyes were so gentle and focused, which made her heart break again. She thought to herself, how nice it would be if those eyes were focused on her alone?
At that time, Du Jiao'e only saw Jiang Xuehe's back, thinking about Jiang Xuehe's background, she didn't pay much attention to it, and only at this moment did she know that she had underestimated the enemy.
But so what? With her background, as long as she throws an olive branch like Gu Siyan, can Gu Siyan not accept it?
