Chapter 361: Self-Coming
On the day of the treat, Gu Xi dressed up well and went to the main courtyard where the second wife lived early.
The second wife was explaining things to Mama Jin, and when she saw her coming, she hurriedly greeted her: "You're here!" Adan is still dressing up in the room, and if you are bored, go and sit in her room, and you can talk. Then he continued to talk to Mama Kim.
Gu Xi didn't see Yu Tang left and right, and wanted to ask Yu Tang's whereabouts, but when the second wife said this, she couldn't say anything, so she had to go to the fifth lady.
The fifth lady is still ignorant, and she doesn't know why she is hosting the Qin family today, she just listens to her mother's words obediently, dresses up well, gets along well with the people of the Qin family, and is a generous and enthusiastic host, don't let people look down on her. Therefore, when Gu Xi came over, she was solemnly choosing the clothes and accessories to be worn.
Gu Xi couldn't help but feel anxious for her when she saw it, and said, "When is this?" The people of the Qin family will arrive at any time, why haven't you dressed yet? ”
The fifth lady blushed and said in a low voice: "I chose a light green dress yesterday, but when I got up this morning, I saw that the banquet was set up in the flower hall, so I had to change my clothes again." ”
There are many kinds of trees in the flower hall, and in this midsummer season, the green trees are like shade, and then wear a light green clothes, and people can't see it.
Gu Xi sighed and said, "Even if the banquet is not placed in the flower hall, it is definitely not appropriate to wear green at this time." Which outfit are you going to change, preferably goose yellow or silver red, pink is also good. The weather is so hot, and the jewelry is simpler. ”
The fifth lady nodded again and again, and changed her dress again under Gu Xi's staff, and the grandmother next to the second wife came to urge: "The third lady is here." The eldest young grandmother and the fifth lady should also hurry over, the people from the Qin Mansion should be almost there. ”
Gu Xi and Fifth Miss went to the hall.
Yu Tang still wore a silver-white gown, but this time she wore pinstriped yarn, a pearl button the size of lotus seed rice, and she didn't wear any jewelry all over her body, only a row of jasmine flowers between the hairpins of Ruyun Qing silk, and when she got closer, she could smell the elegant fragrance, new and elegant, but her black eyebrows, white face, and ruddy lips gave birth to an indescribable gorgeousness, which attracted people to look at her again and again.
She was talking to the second wife.
Gu Xi thought to herself, Yu Tang had already worn white several times since she wore white at the Jiang family's wedding banquet, did she think she was very suitable for white?
She and Miss Fifth stepped forward to say hello to the second wife and Yu Tang.
Yu Tang felt that Gu Xi's makeup was a bit excessive. On such a hot day, I also wore a Hangzhou silk gown with red and yellow folded branches, which had too many colors and made people feel tired when they saw it.
It's about the same as her previous life, not much has changed.
Maybe Gu Xi likes to dress up like this, right?
She greeted Gu Xi with a smile, and asked Miss Five, "Did you sleep well last night?" I got an incense the other day that I said it kills bugs. I took it out and used it last night, and it worked very well. Would you like to try some of them? ”
The fifth lady even claimed that it was good, and complained: "I don't know why, those mosquitoes are just staring at me and biting, and Ah Shan is fine." ”
Ah Shan pursed her lips and smiled.
Yu Tang touched the fifth lady's head lovingly, and said to Gu Xi: "You go to the flower hall to sit down, the people of the Qin family are here, and I will let someone call you again." ”
She and her second wife are going to go to the back garden to see, the back garden has prepared a flower shed, and it hasn't been set up when I went to see it last night, I don't know if it's built today?
Gu Xi and Miss Wu went to the flower hall.
The fifth lady was there to carefully look at the pair of tusks about three feet long on the newly displayed shelves of the Duobao Pavilion in the flower hall, and said to Gu Xi: "Is there something in our family to ask the Qin family?" Why is it so grand? ”
Gu Xi couldn't guess either.
But she was a little worried.
The Yang family asked her to bring the words over, but the Pei family was calm, as if they didn't understand.
I don't know what the Pei family has planned?
Is she going to ask Yu Tang?
Thinking that she was going to say honorifics to Yu Tang, she felt very uncomfortable.
It's just that before she and Yu Tang met, a little girl ran in sweating profusely and asked, "What about the second and third wives?" ”
Could it be that the Qin family is not coming?!
Gu Xi guessed, so he asked casually: "You are in such a hurry, what happened?" ”
Seeing that it was the eldest and youngest grandmother, the little girl hurriedly said: "The eldest wife of the Yang family is here, and there is no invitation......
Today is mainly to invite the Qin family, and the Yang family is not invited, is it a coincidence or intentional?
Gu Xi regretted that he had just spoken, and hurriedly said, "The second wife and the third wife went to the back garden. ”
The little guy ran away in a puff of smoke.
The fifth lady said puzzledly: "Did we also invite someone from the Yang family today?" ”
Probably not.
But the Yang family is Pei Tong's foreign family, and Gu Xi has no face when he says it.
She replied vaguely.
Who knew that the fifth lady pulled Gu Xi: "I'll accompany you to greet the people of the Yang family, right?" It's all guests! “
Looking at the room full of maids and mothers-in-law, Gu Xi couldn't go now.
Gu Xi scolded the Yang family a few words in his heart, and went to greet the people of the Yang family.
The eldest lady of the Yang family got out of the carriage and stood at the gate of the Pei family and waited.
The keeper of the Pei family was very worried, let her enter the door, there was no invitation, she didn't let her in, she didn't care about showing up.
The gatekeeper only hopes that the female relatives of the Pei family will come soon, and anyone can do it.
But Gu Xi really didn't want to be in the limelight, so he walked slowly with Miss Five, and said, "Shall we wait for your mother and third uncle?" ”
The fifth lady didn't know why the Yang family would come over if she didn't receive the post, but in her heart, the invitation was to be single-minded, and today she said that she was inviting someone from the Qin family, but she also invited Mrs. Fei and Mrs. Yin to accompany her, and it was not appropriate for the Yang family, who had nothing to do with these people, to appear at this time.
She said: "In case you run into someone from the Qin family, it is more or less disrespectful. ”
Gu Xi thought of what the Yang family said when she went to the Yang family last time, sweat broke out on her forehead, and she hurriedly said, "Then let's hurry over." ”
If Mrs. Yang is here to make trouble, it will be troublesome!
She pulled Miss Five and ran out.
Miss Fifth almost dropped the golden hairpin on her head to the ground.
When they saw Mrs. Yang, they couldn't help but be a little out of breath, so they invited Mrs. Yang in.
Mrs. Yang was a little surprised to see these two, and said, "What about the second and third wives in your house?" ”
That's what it means not to want to talk to them.
It's not because they're not masters of their own lives.
Gu Xi felt that Mrs. Yang must have come for a purpose, and she hurriedly smiled: "The two wives of our family are in the back garden, we are in the front hall, they are definitely not as fast as us." Come in and have a cup of tea in my room! ”
Mrs. Yang thought about it, responded with a smile, and entered the Hanging Flower Gate with Gu Xi and Miss Five, and went to the place where Gu Xi lived.
Gu Xi glanced at the fifth miss, and said to the fifth miss at the fork in the road: "You go and talk to the second and third uncles, and say that Mrs. Yang is with me, so that they don't go to the gate and pounce." ”
The fifth lady promised and ran away.
Mrs. Yang looked at it and sneered, and said to Gu Xi: "I don't see it, you really think of yourself as the young grandmother of the Pei family!" Why, I heard that the Pei family invited Mrs. Qin to a banquet today, you are in a hurry, are you afraid that I will come uninvited and disturb your family's Yaxing? ”
Gu Xi had also been so angry in the past, but they were all her in-laws, who had taught her and raised her, Mrs. Yang, who was still asking for the Pei family's in-laws, why should she show her face!
She longed for a slap in the face.
But she still held back and said with a smile: "What did the eldest aunt say?" I'm in a mess here, I usually can't invite you to come, you finally came over today, I'm too late to be happy, where can I say bother? It's just that I thought about you, after all, you are the closest to our family, so I thought about inviting you to have a cup of tea. ”
She made a look of "it seems that I still overestimated myself", looked at Mrs. Yang with some anxiety, and said, "Why don't we go to the flower hall and wait for the two wives?" It was the place where the Qin family was entertained, and the two wives were closer to that side. ”
Mrs. Yang is indeed here to quarrel, but she is not here to break up the gang.
She glanced at Gu Xi with a smile and said, "I don't see it, you are still a person with a lot of ideas." After speaking, no matter what Gu Xi's reaction was, he continued: "Since this is the case, I won't beat around the bush, your family must give me an explanation today, otherwise we will go to the Jinluan Treasure Hall to see who has no face?" Who is spurned by Shilin? ”
What bad luck!
Gu Xi slandered in his heart, but his face was not obvious, and he still said gently and dignifiedly: "Auntie, I told Yu Tang everything you said. Why, hasn't she been moving all this time? ”
Otherwise, how could she have come to the door without regard for decency!
Mrs. Yang's face turned red, and she had to admit: "Not only did she not reply to me, but even the two masters of Pei Mansion did not reply to our family." That Yu Shi, did you listen to your words? What did you tell her? ”
The Pei family did this thing, it is possible to copy all the doors, how could the Pei family be like no one else, there was no movement at all.
Gu Xi really didn't expect the Pei family to hang the Yang family, is this okay?
She was a little flustered and said, "Auntie, we're talking in the house." ”
Seeing that she didn't seem to be a fake, Mrs. Yang followed Gu Xi to her place full of confusion.
Pei Tong was not at home.
Mrs. Yang sat down, and after the little maid served the refreshments and retreated, she couldn't help but say, "What is Ah Tong doing these days?" Why didn't you come to us? ”
Gu Xi hurriedly said: "My sister-in-law asked Lord Yin to help guide Xiang Gong's policy, and Xiang Gong is often a guest in Yin's Mansion these days. ”
Yin Mingyuan's article is notoriously good, and Mrs. Yang can't say anything even if she is dissatisfied.
She frowned and said, "It's better to see who is in charge of the big competition at the time, and ask a few more Hongru." ”
Gu Xi smiled: "My brother said the same thing. So sometimes I would take him to Hanlin Temple to walk around. ”
Mrs. Yang had nothing to say.
A little maid ran in and said, "The third lady is here." ”
