Chapter 63 and the Rites

Before she opened her eyes, Gu Xiwu felt that there was a bustle around her, which made people sleep restlessly.

"What time is it? Why is it so noisy? Gu Xiwu sat up and opened the curtain, but found that she was the only one in the room, and the noise came from outside.

Cai Yin, who listened to the movement in the house, pushed the door and entered, and when she saw that Gu Xiwu had woken up, she hurriedly called Aunt Su, "Miss is awake!" ”

Soon, Aunt Su took a group of maids and fished in, surrounding Gu Xiwu to wash and rinse her mouth, and she was very busy.

"Today is the lady's courtesy, the third lady sent someone over early in the morning to order, but to dress up the young lady, if the princess is here, it must be the best for the young lady!" Aunt Su said with a look of loss on her face.

Gu Xiwu then remembered that she seemed to have said last night that today was her ceremony.

"I believe that my mother is also by my side today, Aunt Su should not be sad."

"Yes, miss. The old slave is happy for the princess, and she can't help it, but the young lady understands it. Aunt Su wiped away the tears that overflowed from the corners of her eyes and made way for the maids behind her.

After washing, I took a bath and changed clothes, and steamed for a while, I was full of energy after a good night's sleep, but Gu Xiwu felt a little drowsy now.

By the time the old lady of Jingyang Houjia, who acted as a blessing woman, came, it was already the end of the hour.

"Miss, this is the old lady of Jingyang Houjia, and she is also the Xi Po who helped you comb your hair today." Aunt Su reminded in a whisper.

This old lady of Jingyang Houjia has a smooth life and is highly respected, but ordinary people invite her, but she generally can't be invited.

Gu Xiwu immediately knew, got up and saluted her, "Old lady, I'm tired of you today!" ”

"Don't bother, don't bother, my heart is very happy! Today is the big day of the second miss, this is a little bit of my heart! The mother-in-law behind the old lady took out a delicate jewelry box.

Gu Xiwu took it with her own hands, "Thank you, old lady!" ”

"By the way, there is another person who asks me, I must properly teach this thing to the second lady, the hour is almost up, so I will go to the front yard." The old lady smiled and handed her a long box that was more delicate than the one she had just given.

Gu Xiwu looked at the box that was stuffed in her hand, and had a premonition in her heart.

Open the box and see, sure enough, there is a gilt hairpin lying in the middle, embellished with a little ruby, it looks atmospheric and elegant, not too bulky, and you can know the intentions of the person who sent this thing at a glance.

With a little calculation in his heart, he asked Aunt Su behind him, "Can today's hairpin be prepared?" ”

"It's ready, but it's far worse than the hairpin sent by the old lady." Aunt Su beckoned Cai Yin to bring over the hairpin that the third lady and the prince had prepared a long time ago, and Gu Xiwu saw that this was indeed the case.

"Replace this hairpin, use this, that person doesn't know if he will come today, if he sees it, the hairpin he sent will not come in handy, and he will talk about it for several days." When she said this, what Gu Xiwu was thinking about was that when she gave the tips in the past, she couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly.

Seeing Miss's appearance, Aunt Su and Cai Yin didn't know that this hairpin was probably sent by persimmon, but it was just through the hands of Mrs. Jingyang Hou.

Cai Yin was even more obvious, snickering and taking the hairpin, so that it was good to put it away.

After sitting for a while, the third lady sent someone to invite, and the auspicious time was approaching.

Gu Xiwu was dressed in a cyan gauze skirt, which made her elegant and decent, and slowly walked around the fence, making everyone's eyes shine.

Today is a good day for her and Xu, but she is still in the heat of filial piety, so she wears a cyan gauze skirt.

When you arrive at the futon in the center of the hall, you slowly kneel down and the salute begins.

Because after Gu Xiwu came to the capital, many things happened, and there was no young lady I knew in the capital, and the people who were present today, except for the Wei family, were all invited.

"Arrive in time, please ask Mrs. Jingyang Hou to comb the hair of the second lady!"

The old lady of Jingyang Hou was already waiting aside, and walked out slowly with the support of her mother-in-law, picked up the prepared comb, first combed her hair, pulled up her sideburns, and was about to reach out to get the hairpin, but she was stunned, and then the smile on her face became even bigger.

Isn't the hairpin in this tray the one she is familiar with?

The prince is not completely unrequited, but at this point, she will not say that since she came to the capital, she has only seen her once, and she is still entrusted with her errands, she is not happy!

By the time all the processes were over, it was already noon, and the third lady beckoned the guests who came to watch the ceremony to the banquet, and Gu Xiwu also went with her, she was the center of today's banquet and an indispensable existence.

There was a flow of eyes between her eyes, and Gu Xiwu couldn't help but be a little disappointed in her heart, that person didn't come......

Soon, however, she regained her mind and greeted her guests.

Wei Yunmo and Wei Zilan also looked at the space, and gave the gifts they had prepared, Gu Xiwu was still surprised, why didn't he see Wei Ziyi.

Wei Zilan pursed her lips and didn't speak, Wei Yunmo came out to make a round, "She didn't come out because she wasn't feeling well today." ”

Gu Xiwu didn't mind, she just asked casually.

Because of today's occasion, the three of them were not able to say much.

Soon the banquet came to an end, and Gu Che, the king of Xiang, also hurried back, thinking that today was Gu Xiwu's ceremony, so he went to take leave, but it didn't come to pass, but Gu Feng suddenly gave a task and asked him to complete it.

In a hurry, Gu Che rushed back as soon as he finished, and only then did he return to the mansion when the banquet was about to end.

However, the house is all in order, and Gu Che is also greatly relieved in his heart, the third lady Fang's handling is in an orderly manner, and Xi'er has grown up and can take charge of himself.

Thinking like this, Gu Che still had a little complexity in his heart.

Before he could get closer, there was a panicked female voice, coming from far and near, shouting non-stop, not only Gu Che frowned and looked over, but many people in the banquet were also curious.

"Third lady, miss, something is wrong!" The maid looked panicked, as if something had happened to her in disbelief.

The third lady Fang immediately stepped forward, stopped the maid, and stopped her, "What are you fuss about, today is the second lady's ceremony, don't you know?" ”

"Slave... The slave maid knew, it was precisely because she knew that she hurried over, it was really ......" This maid was a little eager to speak and stopped, this appearance made Fang Shi's bad premonition flash.

Gu Xiwu calmed everyone and walked over, but as the maid looked up, she found that this was not a brocade bamboo that had not appeared in front of her for a long time?

As soon as Jinzhu saw her, his eyes flickered.

I haven't seen her appear for a long time, but she was holding back her big move, waiting for this day, she wants to see what else she and those people behind her can make!

"Third lady, this maid is from my yard, and the guests are still watching, I'll just deal with it." Gu Xiwu asked the Fang clan to stabilize the guests, but Jinzhu would not rely on her.

Why did she rush out, wasn't it just to attract more people's attention and make things bigger, it was also the man's order.

"Slave maid, slave maid found something terrible in the second lady's room, and the adults and ladies present are invited to see that the second lady is going to deal with the slave and maid privately......"

Before Jinzhu finished speaking, he was reprimanded by Fang, "You girl is so unreasonable, don't shut up yet!" Come on, what is the use of these evil slaves who have ruined the reputation of the master's family, and they will not be dragged out for me! ”

"The slave and the maid are wronged, the slave and the maid just can't stand it anymore, so they will come forward, that thing is still in the lady's room, please lords, madam, go and have a look, and the slave and maid are innocent!"

Seeing that a mother-in-law was about to come to arrest her, Jinzhu saw the opportunity and rushed directly into the banquet venue, stretched out his hand and hugged a lady's thigh, ignoring her struggle, humbly pleading.

Seeing this, the third lady was even more anxious, and wanted to ask someone to step forward to hold her, but was stopped by Gu Xiwu.

During the banquet, there were many ladies staring at their actions, and if one did not do well, it would have a bad reputation.

"Jinzhu, you were originally a rough servant in my house, why did you enter my house and say such things, I know that you resent me for demoting you from a big girl to a rough servant, but the things you did with the Lin family almost made me never wake up again!"

Even if there were still people who felt pitiful Jinzhu in their hearts just now and wanted to stand up for her, but Gu Xiwu's words made them look at Jinzhu with the wrong eyes, could it be a good person to be able to catch up with the Lin family?

"No, the slave doesn't!" Jinzhu didn't expect Gu Xiwu to directly tell what she had done before, seeing that the form was becoming more and more unfavorable to her, Yu Guang caught a glimpse of a familiar figure, and after a little thought, he rushed to Gu Che who was walking in this direction.

"Lord Wang, you can save the slave maid, this time the slave maid is for the sake of Xiangwangfu, if the puppet doll among the second young lady is discovered, the entire Xiangwangfu will be implicated! Ah, the slave didn't say anything just now......"

Jinzhu consciously said that he leaked his mouth, and quickly covered his mouth, and the moment he lowered his head, the smugness in his eyes flashed.

Puppet dolls?! It's witchcraft, it's disrespectful!

There were puppet dolls in the room of the two young ladies, which was a great crime, and there was no one present who was not shocked.

"Is this serious?" Gu Che's brows were tightly knit, and there was disbelief in his eyes.

"Father, don't listen to this girl's nonsense, there has never been such a thing in the daughter's house, and she knows that she can't do it, and her daughter is not such a stupid person!" Gu Xiwu immediately stood up, and at the same time gave Cai Yin a look, asking her to go back to the house to see if there was really such an unclean thing as a puppet doll.
