Chapter 24: Loss of credibility

For a while, many people's eyes changed when they looked at Gu Hanyan.

"Sister, I'm ....." Gu Hanyan naturally noticed it, his face changed a little, and he kept stirring the handkerchief in his hand.

Several noble ladies also got together and muttered quietly: "I look at Miss Yan of the Rongguo Mansion and she is not as ugly and saltless as rumored, I look very good!" ”

"Yes, this kind of appearance is no worse than that Gu Hanyan, and the family education is not comparable, not to mention the daughter of the Guogong Mansion, her identity is even more noble than her."

Ji Qiang's eyebrows were slightly raised, before Xi'er said that there were always some strange rumors with her among the young ladies, she didn't believe it before, but now she has some insight.

Ugly? No tutor?

I don't know what kind of face and courage Gu Hanyan has to dare to make such a rumor, and he is not afraid of the truth being revealed, so he asks for hardship.

This group of young ladies is also big-minded, so they will believe it, which is also a big reason why she is reluctant to participate in this kind of young lady party all year round.

But brainlessness also has benefits, looking at their current appearance, it has the effect she wants, and the corners of Ji Qiang's mouth are slightly hooked.

It seems that the first purpose has been accomplished very well, although there are no big families who come today, but they are just some young ladies outside the four grades of the government, but it is this group of low-quality people who can better spread it for her.

"What are you talking about? It's so lively. Cheng Qingqing changed his clothes and came over, and when he saw everyone around, he looked curious.

As soon as he got closer and saw Gu Hanyan looking like he was about to cry, he immediately put on a caring face: "Hanyan, what's wrong with you?" Who's bullying you here? ”

Ji Qiang raised her eyebrows, this must be Cheng Qianqian, the second Miss Cheng Qianqian, no wonder she was used as a gun by Gu Hanyan, but she was too stupid, next to Gu Hanyan, there was only one Ji Qiang, wouldn't you say that Ji Qiang bullied Gu Hanyan?

In the crowd, there was a sneer: "Miss Cheng Er, do you mean that the daughter of the Guogong Mansion bullied her adopted daughter?" But I think the adopted daughter of the Rongguo Mansion is more stylish than this concubine, and your words are a little biased. ”

Ji Qiang is wearing a verdant shirt today, combing ordinary temples, although it is not too simple, but it is not too gorgeous, but Gu Hanyan, a pretty peach, the embroidery is complex and exquisite, and it is a begonia that is shown with gold thread, which looks even better in the sun, and the step on the head is a new model this year.

Compared with Ji Qiang, she has the style of a concubine.

Being reminded like this, everyone's opinions on Gu Hanyan became even more complicated.

Gu Hanyan stood there and looked at the person who spoke with an aggrieved look: "Sister, sister doesn't know that my sister is so simple as attending Miss Cheng Er's birthday banquet today, but this doesn't make others say that Rongguo Mansion is not it." ”

Ji Qiang looked at everyone innocently, frowned, and asked a little puzzled, "Didn't my sister prepare this dress for me?" I didn't think much of it. ”

Gu Hanyan looked at her with an innocent look on her face, but the smile on the corner of her mouth always gave her a bad premonition.

The people who came to the Cheng family today are all official ladies, and if these words come out, many people will definitely think that she is a concubine.

"I sent it because my sister likes plain clothes on weekdays, but I didn't think it through, even if I offended my sister before, my sister shouldn't embarrass me outside, isn't it a loss of face for the Rongguo Mansion." Gu Hanyan was half aggrieved, half worried about the Rongguo Mansion.

This remark made everyone a little confused, Ji Qiang rarely appeared in front of the public, naturally no one knew her habits If Gu Hanyan was really sent according to Ji Qiang's preferences, wouldn't it be that Ji Qiang was so idle to find trouble, but in this way, it seemed that it was Gu Hanyan who made Ji Qiang wear a simple dress, but she took a bite back, saying that Ji Qiang deliberately came here dressed like this.

"My sister said this, my sister really didn't understand, my sister didn't pay you compensation." Ji Qiang lowered her head, but it made people feel pitiful.

Suddenly, a young lady in the crowd deliberately sneered, and said loudly: "It's the first time I've seen a serious Miss Yan and an adopted daughter, if it's in my house, even if you are killed, it will be no different from killing a minion." ”

Ji Qiang was a little puzzled, and looked at the man, who was winking at her playfully.

She doesn't know her, why do you always help her speak?

Gu Hanyan's face instantly turned pale, and everyone echoed, even if she was angry, she didn't dare to be angry in front of so many people, she wanted to humiliate Ji Qiang, but it didn't seem like she would lose face in front of so many people.

Gu Hanyan held back his anger, could only swallow it in his stomach, and said with a smile on his face: "What my sister said, it was my sister who didn't do well, and my sister will reflect on it." ”

Ji Qiang smiled, didn't speak, and took out the prepared brocade box: "This is a gift from me, please smile." ”

Cheng Qing couldn't help frowning, usually the house prepares a gift for her birthday, unless it is a good relationship, she will give another gift in private, and she and Ji Qiang didn't know each other before, which surprised her.

Looking at Cheng Qingqing's hesitant appearance, the corners of Ji Qiang's mouth were slightly hooked, and she pretended to be affectionate and said, "A few days ago, Miss Cheng sent someone to bring me a high-grade rouge, saying that she was looking forward to my arrival, so didn't I give my sister a gift and express my gratitude?" ”

As soon as Ji Qiang's words came out, there was a sigh at the bottom, and after asking each other, they found that except for Ji Qiang, no one received other gifts from Cheng Qianqian except for the invitation.

Then everyone stared at the brocade box curiously, Cheng Qingqing opened the box, only to see that there was a golden silk begonia lying inside, exquisite workmanship, the bus inlaid on it, shining in the sun, it can be seen that it is not an ordinary product.

This....... Cheng Qingqing looked at Ji Qiang with some shock, he just gave a gift in her name according to Gu Hanyan's meaning, but he didn't expect Ji Qiang to return such a high-quality jewelry.

Gu Hanyan gritted his teeth with hatred on the side, and hurriedly said in surprise: "Sister, Miss Cheng Er's birthday, why do you send this, if you don't have good jewelry, it's better to go to my sister and pick a few more." ”

Ji Qiang glanced at her and said with a smile: "What is the identity of Miss Cheng Er, should you be a reward?" Your jewelry is all given by me and my mother, in order of respect and inferiority, I seem to remember that our government has never given you any golden hairpins. ”

Although Ji Qiang doesn't go out much, she is also the true concubine of the Guogong Mansion, and her words from Cheng Qianqian are so high, but Cheng Qianqian's vanity is very useful, thinking about Gu Hanyan's words, Cheng Qingqing also looked at Gu Hanyan with some displeasure.

When everyone heard Ji Qiang say this, they realized that the golden hairpin Gu Hanyan was wearing, speaking of which, only concubines were qualified to wear it, she was an adopted daughter, even a concubine was more noble than her, and she even wore a golden hairpin, which looked more luxurious than Ji Qiang's concubine.

It can also be seen how pampered Gu Hanyan is on weekdays, and this Ji Qiang's words all mean that Gu Hanyan is just an adopted daughter, and she will never be able to become the owner of the Guogong Mansion.
