When Gu Yao walked into the living room full of guests, the discussion reached its peak.

Even Old Madam Gu couldn't help but pause, and looked back at the six girls worriedly.

Gu Yao always had a faint smile on her lips, and her restrained but bright eyes were open.

This girl is not simple!

Old Madam Gu was relieved, greeted Mrs. Chengnanbo, and said with a smile: "Thank you for giving me the post, giving me the opportunity to go out and take my granddaughter to see the world." ”

"You are a guest we can't even invite, and I am honored to have you here."

Mrs. Chengnan Bo is a generation shorter than Mrs. Gu, and after the death of her mother-in-law two years ago, she became the mistress of Bofu.

Her daughter became a favorite concubine again, and her words were even more true in Bofu.

She didn't look down on the women who came to congratulate her, but she was the only one who was respectful to Mrs. Gu.

When Chengnanbo's Mansion was in trouble, Mrs. Gu helped her a lot, and the Gu family, whether Chengnanbo was rich or down, never missed the New Year's gift.

Mrs. Chengnanbo took the initiative to show Mrs. Gu the way, and said with a smile: "The granddaughter you raised is all very smart, and it hurts to look at it." ”

"Don't praise them, but they look neater, with your daughter, hey, it's time to call Niangniang, they can't compare to Niangniang a finger."

Old Madam Gu made Mrs. Chengnan happy with a few words.

The manners and talents of the girls of the Gu family are all famous in the capital, except for Miss Gu Liu...... Because Gu Siye often praised his daughter for her good looks, it made many gentlemen worry about it.

Gu Lu's eyes flashed, and the corners of Gu Jia's mouth pursed a hint of mockery.

Gu Yao took in the expressions of the two, and subconsciously gave a suspended death sentence to the now magnificent Chengnan Bofu, which was full of guests.

Cheng Nanbo was rich and noble because of his daughter's entry into the palace, and he would also fall because of his daughter's fall from grace, even worse than before.

There is a treacherous turmoil in the palace, and no one can guarantee that the ship will not capsize in this life, even the queen has been abolished, not to mention that she is just a favorite concubine.

No wonder there are so many concubines who just want to be the queen mother!

"You haven't seen your sixth lady for a while."

Mrs. Chengnanbo deliberately raised her voice and talked with Mrs. Gu, who was already seated, "I see that her color is getting better and better, and she is quieter than before." ”

Gu Yao bowed her head slightly to avoid the ridicule projected by everyone, pitiful, regretful, and gloating.

The time for the Chengnan Bofu to become rich and prosperous is not long, although there are many guests, and all the ladies and ladies are wearing gold and silver, and their heads are full of pearls, but the top nobles will not come to the Chengnan Bofu.

Almost all of the people sitting here are old people from Chengnanbo, and the Gu family is quite prominent and well-known among the guests.

Gu Lu was sitting next to Gu Yao, and everyone's eyes inevitably swept over her, which made her very uncomfortable.

She moved her body and did not show too much impatience and alienation from Gu Yao.

Gu Jia sneered: "Sixth sister just put up with it?" They all look at you like a joke. ”

"Now that I know they see jokes, do I make bigger jokes to make them happy?"

Gu Yao pushed back lightly, with a faint smile on her lips, and continued: "They look at me as a joke, so I can't treat them as fools?" The foolish worm who was deceived by Huang Can and Miss Wang, even if they flattered me, I didn't bother to pay attention to it. ”

"I thought that the sixth sister would say that there would be no shortage of meat if you took a look."

Gu Ling joked and held Gu Yao's arm affectionately.

Gu Yao smiled: "Seventh sister guessed wrong, I will say...... They look at me because I'm pretty, and they haven't seen anything better than me. ”

"Poof."

In addition to Gu Ling, there was also laughter.

Gu Yao looked over, the girl was twelve or thirteen years old, wearing a goose yellow dress, wearing a pearl hairpin, bright eyes and teeth, elegant and lively.

Seeing Gu Yao apologize, he said frankly: "I didn't mean to eavesdrop, I have a good ear since I was a child, and I can always hear others talking." ”

"I didn't laugh because Miss Gu, I think you were right."

She smiled brightly: "They have all been deceived, Miss Gu Liu is indeed very beautiful, and she has captivated the country and the city." ”

Gu Yao had a good impression of her, "I talked and laughed with the seventh sister but you heard it, we haven't seen each other before, since you know who I am, if I don't know which family you are...... I'm so bad. ”

The girl's eyes lit up, and she deliberately made the chair closer to the Gu family sisters, and asked with a smile: "My surname is Jia, and I can't compare with the Gu family, my father is just ......."

Intentionally arousing Gu Yao's appetite, Gu Ling was extremely curious and stared at her intently, but Gu Yao was not in a hurry.

After Gu Lu casually saw the face of the girl in front of her, her face suddenly turned pale.

The corner of Gu Yao's eyes swept over, Gu Jia's eyes rolled wildly, and he looked more at the wife sitting there, as well as the furnishings and arrangements of the Chengnan Bofu.

Different from the relatively elegant environment of the Gu family, the layout of the Bofu in the south of the city is even more wealthy.

Gu Jia looked at the one-person-tall red coral in admiration, how much silver does this cost?

"My maiden name is Yiyi, and I am the only daughter in the family."

"Jia Yi?!" Gu Yao smiled: "It's good, people are like their namesa, they feel happy to see you." ”

"I'm not famous, but you've heard of my father and my uncle."

Jia Yi smiled: "I'm afraid that if I tell who they are, Miss Gu Liu won't feel happy." ”

Gu Yao said: "I have never cared about my reputation when making friends, even if you are from the same background as me, your reputation is definitely stronger than mine." ”

Jia Yi's smile deepened, "My father is in charge of the Lianghuai salt tax, and my uncle is Rong Guogong. ”

“……”

Gu Jia, who was admiring the coral bonsai, suddenly stood up and looked at Jia Yi in shock, "You say...... Your uncle is Rong Guogong? ”

Gu Yao dragged Gu Jia and said softly, "Fifth sister." ”

She didn't say much about the rest, she was worried that saying too much with Gu Jia's temper would make her even more out of shape.

The corners of Gu Jia's mouth twitched, and he explained: "Suddenly hearing the name of Rong Guogong startled me. Your uncle's reputation is as great as thunder. ”

"The fifth sister has a straightforward temperament, not to mock Rong Guogong, to make my uncle's reputation thunderous, not to boast, these years Uncle Ling has repaired water conservancy in the south of the Yangtze River, cleared up bandits, appeased and educated the people, and became a world-famous virtuous minister, and now he has been promoted to Beijing, and the emperor will be reused."

"Oh."

Jia Yi chuckled: "My uncle is heavily used, and Miss Six's eldest uncle is not happy." ”

"No, it won't." Gu Yao shook his head lightly and said with a light smile: "They are all serving the country, loyal to Your Majesty, and being a minister in the same palace. ”

"They are never rivals, but people who promote each other and are like-minded."

It's not like-minded.

Both men's ultimate dream is to become cabinet ministers.

Aren't they mutually reinforcing?

Neither of them will let anyone, and if they make political achievements here, they will definitely follow suit.

After hearing this, the woman who was paying attention to the movement here looked at Miss Gu Liu's gaze with less mockery and ridicule.

Old Madam Gu proudly hooked the corners of her mouth, and her eyes smiled a little smaller.
