Chapter 461
Mingjuan was specially arranged by Mrs. Gu to follow Su Jinyao, and she will also accompany Su Jinyao when she enters the palace in the future. She is sure that she also knows the relationship between these ministers of the court and the Gu family, and includes some important figures in the palace, the direct relationship between the little masters and their respective preferences, Mingjuan knows some.
That's why it's important to choose a good personal maid, the things that the master can't remember, the maid must remember them all, so that he can remind the master at any time.
While listening to Su Jinyao, she thought that she was going to take Xiuning with her, but Mrs. Gu said that she would train again.
Now it seems that Xiuning is indeed not qualified for such a job, but I am afraid that even if it is a scene like today, Xiuning will be difficult to deal with.
It's not that Su Jinyao looks down on Xiuning, but Su Jinyao knows that a big girl like Mingjuan, who has been selected by the Gu family since she was a child, is not something that an ordinary country maid can compare.
Although Su Jinyao also asked Xiuning to be vigilant, watch more, and learn more, but if Xiuning wants to achieve Mingjuan's appearance, she is afraid that she will have to temper it for several years. In the past few years, I am afraid that Su Jinyao will not be able to wait.
Su Jinyao washed it, and Mingjuan said it almost as well. Then it was still Mingluo who asked Su Jinyao to dress up.
Today, just draw a simple makeup for Su Jinyao, your hair doesn't need to be combed, it is directly draped behind her head, and Su Jinyao's hair is curled by her mother-in-law. And today's mother-in-law is Mrs. Gu.
Everything was ready, Su Jinyao did not immediately put on the white clothes from the ceremony, but wore a usual dress, and planned to go to Mrs. Gu's side to have a look. Ask again if there is anything you need to prepare.
But Su Jinyao had just gone out, and she met Mrs. Gu who came over with a maid on the path.
"Auntie, I'm just about to look for you." Su Jinyao said, came to Mrs. Gu, and said with a smile: "Blame me for getting up late, and I want my mother to run by herself." ”
Mrs. Gu smiled and shook her head, "It's nothing." I was just afraid that you would run back and forth, so I came to take a look. After a while, you are the protagonist of the ceremony, and a whole set of procedures will go down, and you will be tired. So, I don't have to go anywhere now, just go back to the house and rest. When the auspicious time comes, I will call someone to greet you. ”
It turned out to be a blind date
I have to say that Mrs. Gu is really fond and caring to Su Jinyao. insisted on asking Mingjuan to send Su Jinyao back to the house, and told her that it was best to rest more, and not to be too tired when she came out early.
Su Jinyao was sent back to the house, how big of a scene would it be outside? On the other hand, I felt that Mrs. Gu was making a fuss, and she was not a master who was afraid of being tired.
Mingjuan saw that Su Jinyao couldn't sit still, and persuaded with a smile: "Miss, let's have a good rest." The set that I practiced before was actually only a small half, and it was also the main part of Gua Jinli. But from beginning to end, I had to participate in the young lady, and I had to do it seriously, so I was still very tired. ”
Helpless, she couldn't find anything else to do, so Su Jinyao had to wait in the house.
After waiting for about half an hour, it gradually became lively outside.
Mingjuan went outside to take a look, and came back to serve Su Jinyao to change the white dress that she should wear when she was in the ceremony.
Mingjuan said to Su Jinyao again: "The guests have already come." However, they are all familiar guests, such as distant relatives or ladies and ladies who are good to Mrs. Chao and Gu, as well as the little sisters of the eldest lady and the third lady. ”
Su Jinyao knew that this was also a kind of communication. The family members of the ministers of the court also walked around with each other, and the ladies of each family also had a particularly good time together, which is the so-called "handkerchief handkerchief".
However, it is not excluded that some people are touting each other just for entertainment.
Su Jinyao can be said to have just come to the capital, and she is not familiar with life at all, so she doesn't know any people outside, and she doesn't have to go out now.
After waiting for a while, a maid who had been with Mrs. Gu before came to invite Su Jinyao to the front.
Su Jinyao agreed, knowing that it was finally her turn, she was a little nervous.
Mingjuan saw Su Jinyao's panic for a moment, smiled and went to the dresser to pick up a horn comb and combed Su Jinyao's hair again, making her hair droop and smoother.
Then he helped Su Jinyao to walk out, and said, "I was weird just now, why wasn't Miss nervous at all?" But now, it's no different from ordinary girls. ”
Su Jinyao couldn't help but be surprised when she heard this, and asked, "Is this normal to be nervous?" ”
"That's nature." Mingjuan and Su Jinyao talked, also to relieve her nervousness, and said, "A girl only has this once in her life." And if you don't go in, you can't really grow up, so it's very meaningful. When I met Miss Xueqi, I heard that it was dawn, and I was so anxious that I didn't know what to do. But you, Miss, have been sitting in the room for almost an hour, and you are slightly panicked when you are about to go out. ”
Su Jinyao rolled her eyes, she really didn't know if Mingjuan was comforting her or deliberately hurting her.
And Su Jinyao is also a little funny, when will she be nervous? It seems that the first time I killed someone, and when I killed a lot of people at once, I was not nervous.
Originally, with Mingjuan by her side, everything would be smooth and there would be no problems.
But I didn't expect that when Su Jinyao and Mingjuan came to the front hall, a hoarse voice came from afar: "I've seen the sister of the Gu family, she looks good." You'll see you in a moment. ”
The voice...... It's Feng Shusheng!
Su Jinyao's brows furrowed, I don't know what he is going to do this day? And listening to what Feng Shusheng meant, he was obviously talking about himself.
Mingjuan also heard Feng Shusheng's voice, turned her head to look at Su Jinyao, and didn't know what to say.
But after thinking about it, Mingjuan still persuaded: "Miss, don't worry, this is a big day, presumably the third young master of the Feng family will not be good." ”
Su Jinyao shook her head slightly and said, "I'm not afraid of what happens to him, and he may not have the guts." I'm afraid that he will be poor, and that mouth is really ...... The sewn. ”
Su Jinyao said, but her footsteps couldn't stop. I also met a few people who were interested in talking and talking, but they were all women. Older or younger, they are all acquaintances of the ancient family.
And Su Jinyao paid attention to Mingjuan's gestures, her hand holding her arm was always moving her thumb gently, and she should need to be treated kindly.
When they walked past these people, another group of people was revealed, and most of these people were young men, led by Feng Shusheng.
Su Jinyao frowned again, and took advantage of the fact that there was no one around now, and asked Mingjuan in a low voice: "Didn't you say that there is a difference between men and women?" Why do so many young men come to my Gua Pilgrimage? ”
Mingjuan was stunned for a moment, and then lowered her voice and said, "It seems that Miss doesn't know the way of this, and blames me for not explaining it to Miss." This Gua Jin Ceremony is so lively in the capital, and it is precisely to give these ministers or dignitaries more opportunities to meet the sons and ladies of the dignitaries. ”
"Blind date?" Su Jinyao suddenly understood, this is the blind date mode in ancient times.
Hearing what Su Jinyao said so bluntly, Mingjuan smiled and nodded slightly, proving that Su Jinyao was right.
Su Jinyao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, fortunately, she was a famous flower. Otherwise, after she enters, she will also be the one who waits for the price to sell, right?
And in the future, she also got to be present at other people's gifts, and she met with those gentlemen, who were picked and picked by some people.
Thinking of this, Su Jinyao couldn't help but let go of her gaze, wanting to find Gu Shangqing, or Gu Xueqi and Gu Yuxuan. It is estimated that the three of them will not have a good time on this occasion.
However, Su Jinyao looked around but did not find Gu Shangqing and them, but was seen by Feng Shusheng, who was chatting in the crowd.
Feng Shusheng nodded at everyone, squeezed out of the crowd and walked towards Su Jinyao.
It was daytime, and the winter sun shone obliquely on him, especially with the usual smile on his face, and his neat white teeth shining in the sun.
But Su Jinyao saw Feng Shusheng coming over, and her eyebrows were twisted together. Because there are many people at this time, she doesn't want the Gu family to become a talking point, so she may not be able to deal with this guy.
"Sister, the third brother of the Feng family has come to congratulate you." Feng Shusheng said, bowing slightly, making a polite appearance.
Su Jinyao didn't want to deal with him at all, so she just said "um" and prepared to go around.
Feng Shusheng refused to let go, moved half a step sideways, blocking Su Jinyao's way, and said with a smile: "Sister, go slowly, guess what congratulatory gift I sent you?" ”
"Thank you, I don't need any congratulatory gifts, you can take care of yourself." Su Jinyao said it completely through gritted teeth, and she couldn't wait to slap Feng Shusheng in the face and wave him away.
Feng Shusheng's gift
But Su Jinyao's unwillingness did not make Feng Shusheng flinch, but still had a smiling face, and said: "I know that my sister doesn't lack anything, but I still hope that my sister can take a look." ”
After that, without waiting for Su Jinyao to say anything, she had already waved her hand to the side.
Almost immediately, a small guy ran over with a rattan cage, a cage about two feet square, and it was not much effort to be held by the little guy, so it was obvious that the contents were not heavy.
When Feng Shusheng and Su Jinyao were talking, there were already people gathered around to watch the excitement. At this time, I saw the little guy holding a box, which was even better.
Some people also began to ask: "Third Young Master, what kind of treasure is your big box containing?" But it's a treasure, and this box doesn't look very good. ”
Generally speaking, good things should be easy to pack, the more cherished the baby, the more exquisite the box. One is to protect the baby itself, and the other is to show off the style.
But the material of this cage itself is very ordinary, how precious can the rattan stuff be? The handmade work doesn't look very good either, it does look shabby.
To be honest, at first glance, this rattan cage looks similar to the menu basket used in a wet market. It's just that it's more neatly braided, and the lid is just tightly knit.
Mingjuan's brows also furrowed, in her mind, maybe it was because the third young master of the Feng family had some festivals with the young lady, so she deliberately made some tattered things at this juncture to humiliate the young lady.
Therefore, Mingjuan smiled slightly, thinking of Feng Shusheng's polite salute, and said, "Third Young Master of the Feng family, our young lady really has something important to do, please don't delay the auspicious time." As you know, today's is Miss's Gua Ceremony. ”
Mingjuan intended to remind Feng Shusheng that Su Jinyao was the protagonist today, and asked him not to make a mistake.
But he didn't expect that Feng Shusheng should be a very shrewd person, and he pretended not to understand Mingjuan's meaning at all.
Uncle Feng's face smiled even more, and said, "I carefully selected a gift because I knew that today was my sister's big day." I dare say that this gift of mine is definitely the most heartfelt of all gifts. Even if my sister doesn't necessarily like it, but I also give my brother a little bit of face, take a look. ”
Feng Shusheng said this, and put on a very sincere expression, and some people around him began to persuade: "Yes, sister of the Gu family, the time has not yet come, you can take a look." ”
There are also humanitarians: "Sister of the Gu family, you are not rare, at least let us open our eyes." Otherwise, this gift will be delivered directly to your room in a while, and we will not have a chance to see it again. ”
Although Su Jinyao was not familiar with these people, she swept them from the corner of her eyes and knew that not all of these people were helping Feng Shusheng speak.
It is not excluded that some people who have a good relationship with the Gu family will come to help Su Jinyao speak.
This meaning is obvious, if the cage is opened in person, Feng Shusheng's gift is not very good, these people who stand on the side of the Gu family can help Su Jinyao to make trouble, and talk to Feng Shusheng well.
Since it is not a one-sided situation, Su Jinyao has nothing to care about. Anyway, Feng Shusheng rushed to give her a gift, whether it was good or bad, it was not a loss of Su Jinyao's face.
Su Jinyao nodded at Mingjuan. Mingjuan understood and said to the little guy: "Then you can open it." ”
The little guy agreed, but seemed a little hesitant to act. He placed the cage on the ground, but did not immediately lift it.
This was originally a very small action, and no one else noticed it, still staring at the little guy, waiting for the moment when the cage was opened.
But Su Jinyao noticed this small detail, narrowed her eyes slightly, and looked at Feng Shusheng.
It just so happened that Feng Shusheng also looked at Su Jinyao, and the eyes of the two of them looked at each other, and Feng Shusheng even blinked. It's not frivolous, but it's like saying again: Sister, don't worry.
Feng Shusheng would have such kindness? What's in his cage? Su Jinyao couldn't help but feel weird.
The little guy who opened the box only slowed down for a moment, and had already opened the box.
The rattan cage looked a little simple, and everyone was stunned when they opened it, because this box was filled with ...... Grass.
At first glance, it looks like a box full of withered straw, but the color is golden, and it looks quite regular.
"Huh? Third Young Master of the Feng Family, what do you mean by this? Sister Gujia, do you send a box of straw? ”
"I'm sure it's just plain hay, and it's not really made of gold. The third young master of the Feng family, are you keeping it for the sister of the Gu family to feed the sheep? ”
Everyone laughed, and the ridicule was louder than the appreciation, or rather, there was no one ready to praise it at all.
Feng Shusheng was not in a hurry, but looked at Su Jinyao again, although it was a single eyelid, there was sincerity in his very amorous eyes.
Sincere? Su Jinyao felt that she was wrong? But I don't think so.
She frowned, looked down at the rattan cage again, her eyes flashed, and the corners of her mouth curled.
"Okay, Mingjuan, I like this gift very much, you can ask someone to help me send it to the house." After Su Jinyao finished speaking, she nodded at Feng Shusheng, and said gently and sincerely: "Thank you, third brother of the Feng family." ”
"Huh?" There was an uproar from the people around, and no one saw any suspicion, and they didn't know what the pile of straw was for.
But why does this second lady of the Gu family seem to really like it?
Or is this a trend of relaxation between the Gu family and the Feng family?
All kinds of suspicions from outsiders, Su Jinyao didn't care about them. But what Feng Shusheng meant, she understood.
It's just that Su Jinyao didn't expect that Feng Shusheng was really a very thoughtful and interesting person. The gifts are all ...... Well, special, very special.
Mingjuan was also slightly stunned, but seeing the corners of Su Jinyao's mouth that had been hooked, she didn't say anything more. Miss's intentions were not something she could figure out for a while.
And Mingjuan also knew that it was an incredible thing for the young lady beside her to be able to return to the ancient family and become the crown princess all of a sudden.
So in the face of the young lady's orders, she just needs to obey well. Mingjuan immediately looked left and right, and beckoned again.
Today is a big day for the Gu family to entertain guests, and naturally there are many attendants and maids waiting beside them.
Mingluo and the other five people were also listening not far away, and when they saw Mingjuan beckoning, they immediately walked over.
Mingjuan instructed, "Send the things back to the young lady's house." ”
Ming Luo agreed, bent down and hugged the rattan cage. As soon as you start it, you know that it is not heavy, and it is no different from an empty one.
I actually learned to be nervous
Seeing that Ming Luo was about to take the rattan cage away. Su Jinyao thought for a while, and then explained: "Don't put it in a hot place, it's better to put it in a relatively cool place at the door." ”
"Yes." Mingluo thought, maybe something that is afraid of heat, so he naturally agreed and left.
Uncle Feng saw that Su Jinyao really took the things, nodded at Su Jinyao with a smile, and said, "Since my sister likes it, then the third brother is relieved." Today is your big day, my brother won't bother. ”
After saying that, he politely took two steps back, and then went to talk to the group of friends who had spoken before.
The corners of Su Jinyao's mouth that had been hooked never smiled stingily, and she glanced at Feng Shusheng's figure again before preparing to move forward.
Some people around didn't understand, but they didn't ask much because they weren't familiar with Su Jinyao.
After a short walk on, we reached the main hall. At this time, the inside of the main hall seemed very quiet, not like the crowds of people in the garden outside
