Chapter 285:-for-tat
Does she love King Rui? The title of the county lord is enough to marry Princess Rui. ”
Gu Jiayao accompanied the Gu family sisters to the next door to say congratulations.
Originally, she didn't want to beat up the fun, but she was a little more curious about the newly promoted county lord.
In the conversation of the Gu sisters, the county lord is a perfect girl, capable of literature and martial arts, kind and elegant, pity the poor, helpful, and have no flaws.
Gu Jiayao didn't believe that there was such a perfect person in the world.
The Gu family looks at everyone well, and he is a good-looking dog, he looks good, and he must have a good heart.
Gu Zhi'er said: "His Royal Highness King Rui said that if he marries a wife one day, he will give his wife the title of county lord or princess, she has always kept this matter in mind, in fact, she is the granddaughter of the Queen Mother, and even the queen mother of the two palaces is loved, sooner or later she will be crowned the county lord, the fifth sister don't think too much, the queen mother is not to compensate her." ”
Gu Jiayao pulled the corners of her mouth, "The Queen Mother should like her, a granddaughter who is connected by blood is always closer than the daughter of a foreign minister, but I didn't expect His Royal Highness King Rui to give his wife a title...... He said that he fought for his wife's title, and he did not necessarily marry the princess of the county with the title. ”
Gu Zhi'er and the others nodded, "It's this Li'er, His Royal Highness King Rui is proud and conceited, and it is sought after by thousands of people." ”
"Big sister." Gu Jiayao didn't want to hear this, "Did the two mansions have side doors before?" ”
"Originally, there was a weeping flower gate, but later my grandmother was angry with the princess, and before the uncle returned to Beijing, she ordered someone to seal the weeping flower gate."
Gu Zhi'er said: "Grandmother said that the princess was not allowed to set foot in the British Mansion again, so it didn't stop us from communicating with the county lord, and the county lord can come over." ”
"After the princess was beaten by her grandmother, even if there is a hanging flower gate, she will not come to visit her grandmother again."
Gu Duoer chuckled: "This is a good thing, it's very uncomfortable to eat with the princess, the princess is more exquisite, and there are many rules, you are not allowed to talk during meals, and you are not allowed to touch the dishes and chopsticks...... It's not that my grandmother stopped me, the princess still wants to send the old lady from the south to teach us, I can't stand that sin, the last time I went to the Qiyang Marquis Mansion as a guest, the daughter of the Marquis of Qiyang was taught to be stupid, and she didn't dare to laugh. ”
"Fortunately, my grandmother felt sorry for us."
The sisters nodded together, quite grateful to their grandmother, after all, now that southern women are highly praised, many nobles have asked their grandmothers to teach their daughters.
The Princess's Mansion occupies no smaller area than the British Mansion, and the courtyard layout is more luxurious.
Rockeries, small bridges, lakes and so on are scattered, and the pavilions and pavilions are distinct and exquisite.
The courtyard of the mansion combines the architectural style of the south, but does not abandon the architectural advantages of the north, and the styles are integrated and complement each other.
"The drawings for the renovation of the princess's mansion were drawn by the county lord, and when the guests of the mansion were repaired, the county lord was in the limelight, and many ladies wanted the county lord to go to his house to help design and change the drawings of the mansion."
Gu Jiayao doesn't understand courtyard design, and has seen the Forbidden City and Jiangnan Gardens in modern times.
She had to admit that the county lord's talent in architectural design was extremely difficult to achieve.
"Big sister."
"County Lord."
Gu Zhi'er was overjoyed, and said closely: "I heard that you have won the county lord's seal, so I specially brought my sisters over to congratulate you." ”
"She's the county lord."
Gu Duo'er whispered in Gu Jiayao's ear.
She is wearing a lake blue long dress, her waist cannot be held, her posture is graceful, her skin is fairer than snow, and she is more elegant in her brightness, delicate but not charming, glamorous but not vulgar.
Gu Jiayao curtsied, "I've seen the county lord." ”
"Are you...... Is it Mr. Gu's beloved daughter?! ”
The county lord's smile was even brighter, and he looked very happy, stepped forward to hold Gu Jiayao's arm, looked up and down, and said approvingly: "It's really good-looking, and the beauties in the capital should respect you in the future." ”
She smiled at Gu Zhi'er and said, "As soon as Sister Gu appeared, I forgot to look at the eldest sister, she really concentrated all the preferences of God, and everyone loved her good looks." ”
Gu Jiayao took a step back with a glance and distanced herself from the county lord.
"The county lord means that I stole the limelight from my sisters? Let the county lord only look at me? How could the county lord be so superficial with his talent and reputation? Do you care more about your appearance? ”
“……”
The county lord's face froze.
"Appearance determines a person's bottom line, but temperament and talent determine the girl's line!"
Gu Jiayao is like preaching, and when her stunning appearance is stereotypical, she is also more moving than others.
"Sister Gu said it so well, it is worthy of being raised by Mr. Gu."
The county lord smiled: "It's me who is vulgar, it's not as thorough as Sister Gu." ”
didn't care at all that Gu Jiayao made her faceless, she had the courage to admit her mistakes and mistakes, and she was generous. "Since the county lord still calls me big sister, you can call me the fifth sister."
Gu Jiayao is neither humble nor arrogant, "The county lord treats the eldest sister as a sister, and he has not been estranged because of the matter between Ning Yuanhou and the princess, and my father and mother are also generous and tolerant people, and they do not count the glory and wealth that Ning Yuanhou has enjoyed over the years." ”
"The county lord doesn't have to compensate me for the princess and Ning Yuanhou at all, and I can't count on the county lord in the future about the eldest sister...... No, count on the county lord to help. ”
“…… Fifth sister. ”
A strange look flashed in the county lord's eyes, and he said with a smile: "The grievances of the elders can't fall on us, and in the future, we will be a sister, and if we are not biological sisters, we should be better than our own children, so that outsiders will see the jokes, and then affect Mr. Gu's reputation." ”
No longer giving Gu Jiayao a chance to reply, she took Gu Zhi'er's hand, "How is the big sister polo practiced?" I've been busy rehearsing dances lately, so I don't really have time to see the big sister, but I'm sure the big sister will win. ”
Gu Zhi'er talked about practicing polo, and the sisters next to her kept interjecting, and the atmosphere was very warm.
However, the dominant person has always been the county lord, and unconsciously the Gu family sisters surrounded her forward.
Gu Jiayao seems to be an outsider, and it is difficult to fit in.
After more than ten years of getting along, Gu Jiayao can't compare.
She didn't want to get too involved in it either, and quietly enjoyed the view of the princess's mansion.
Princess Funing's face was serious, her eyebrows were raised with a touch of arrogance, and her chin was slightly longer than that of others, showing a bit of sternness.
"Mother." The county lord smiled and walked over quickly and stood beside Princess Funing.
Princess Funing, who was standing on the steps, looked condescendingly at the Gu sisters who bowed down.
"Princess Wan'an."
Gu Jiayao saluted with them, she fell last, and Princess Funing's cold and arrogant gaze penetrated the person in front of her and fell directly on her.
Princess Funing said: "Since you are all here, I will accompany the daughter of this palace to listen to the holy decree, and let you know more." ”
Out of the corner of her eye, she looked at Gu Jiayao:
"The capital is not a casual place, and it attaches great importance to rules and etiquette."
"The princess has taught me a lesson, I just heard that the princess asked the county lord to raise her grandmother from the south? I am stupid by nature, but I have been in the south for many years, and I don't need to raise my grandmother if I know how to do it, if the county lord doesn't know anything, just ask me. ”
Princess Funing: "......"
