Chapter 78: Receiving the Gift of Long Dresses
Everyone looked at this sudden scene, how could a good dress be torn by force?
"What's going on?" Old Madam Gao's face was slightly gloomy.
"Old lady, I don't know, I just took this long dress from the inner room." Hongxiao pressed her willow eyebrows, looking at the brocade chrysanthemum gold silk dress in her hand and was very puzzled.
"Grandmother, this long skirt is really delicate, this Qiu Ju embroidery is really lifelike, Cousin Zhuhu shouldn't mind a little flaw over there, right?" Gao Weixue spoke with a snarky tone.
Gao Weihu frowned slightly, looking at Gao Weixue's smug appearance, Gao Weihu sneered in his heart.
"Hongxiao, help me put away this dress that my grandmother gave me, it's just a little flaw, it's okay to go back and clean up." Gao Weihu's beautiful eyes turned slightly, and a trace of regret leaked from her face when she looked at the long skirt.
"What the hell is going on?" Old Madam Gao looked displeased, and the dragon head crutch in her hand slammed the pestle on the ground.
"Grandmother, it's okay, I'll take it back and make up for it later, it won't have any effect." Gao Weihu said, his eyes skimming Gao Weixue. Gao Yuxue was playing with the tea cup in her hand, as if she didn't care about this matter at all.
"That's it, it's just that there is only one brocade silk, and it is too late to make a delicate long skirt before the chrysanthemum feast." Old Madam Gao looked at Gao Weihu kindly and said.
"Grandmother, don't worry, I'll have a way." Gao Weihu smiled shallowly, and that smile seemed to be able to contain the whole world. It's fascinating to watch.
Old Madam Gao smiled with satisfaction.
"You also have to prepare well these days, and the queen mother and the emperor's concubines will come together at the chrysanthemum appreciation meeting." There was a ripple of excitement in Old Madam Gao's eyes.
The annual chrysanthemum banquet is a day for the wealthy to gather, there will be many heirs of dignitaries and nobles at the banquet, each family will recommend a few special programs, and everyone will give Qiu Ju as a vote, if the heirs of the family perform the best skills at the feast, receive the most Qiu Ju, they will receive the reward given by the Queen Mother.
Therefore, all major families are very concerned about this activity, which is not only to prove the strength of the heirs of the family, but also an opportunity to show in front of the emperor, and also hope to add some face to their family.
"Grandmother, you only make such a beautiful long dress for Sister Yuhu, and you are really partial to me and Sister Yuxi." Gao Yuxue said with a smile.
"You girl." Old Madam Gao stretched out her hand to signal Hongxiao.
Hongxiao nodded slightly, put down the tray in his hand, and returned to the inner room to take another tray, on which was placed a pale pink long skirt, the long skirt was embroidered with white and yellow daisies, some budding to be released, some were vibrant, some were fluttering, and there were thousands of postures, all kinds of charming beings.
Gao Weixue immediately got up, took the long skirt into her arms, and put it beside her for comparison.
"Sister Zhuxi, is it good-looking?" Gao Weixue shook and shook in front of Gao Weixue.
"Well, it's good-looking, this color really matches Sister Xue well." Gao Yuxi blinked with a pair of big eyes,
"Then what about grandmother, what about Sister Zhuxi?" Gao Weixue turned to look at Old Madam Gao.
"Oh, my grandmother has already sent it to me first, it's not as good as your sister, and it doesn't have such a delicate embroidery." Gao Junxi hurriedly added.
Gao Weixue was still immersed in the joy of her beautiful long dress.
"Ahh What is this! Gao Yuxue's eyebrows were furrowed, her slender fingers were stabbed by something, and Gao Yuxue took out a thin embroidery needle from the collar.
Gao Weixue put her finger in her mouth and took a sip, spitting out the blood.
"Which damn embroiderer did this?" Gao Wei Xuefeng's eyes stared angrily at the thin embroidery needle in his hand.
Old Madam Gao's face sank slightly.
"Hongxiao, which embroiderer made this long skirt by Zhuxue? How could you be so careless about leaving a needle on your skirt? Old Madam Gao pointed to the embroidery needle in Gao Yuxue's hand.
"Old lady Hui, it is made by Zhao Xiuniang." Hongxiao replied.
"Zhao Xiuniang, she has always been careful in her work, and today I don't know what happened, so she left the embroidery needle on the skirt. Fortunately, it only stabbed the snow and didn't cause any major damage. Old man Gao thought for a while and said.
"What Zhao Xiuniang, I will not spare her for the stabbing wound!" Gao Weixue threw the embroidery needle in her hand to the ground.
The silver needle rolled down and landed right at Gao Yuxi's feet.
"If this needle is stepped on by someone, it will definitely hurt." Gao Yuxue said, carefully putting away the embroidery needle.
Gao Weixue sat down indignantly, and the afterglow swept on Gao Weihu's face.
Gao Weihu just watched quietly, with a light smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he was just watching Gao Weixue's jokes.
A trace of coldness flashed in Gao Wei Xuefeng's eyes.
The night sky of Gaofu is always extremely cold, and the strange stones and trees during the day also look particularly strange at night, and the shadows are like ghosts in the night.
Gao Weihu carefully repaired the tear on the long skirt in the room by candlelight, and the wrinkles around the tear should have been caused by tearing in a hurry.
Suddenly, Gao Weihu suddenly heard a sound of footsteps coming from the courtyard, and about four or five people were walking towards Gao Weihu's room, and Gao Weihu vigilantly touched the black iron sleeve blade in the dark sleeve.
Suddenly, the door was pushed open, Hao's face was clouded, followed by Ping'er and Gao Yuxue's maid Qiu Ju, and two rough mothers, several people rushed directly into Gao Weihu's house.
Gao Weihu suddenly froze, and his expression returned to his usual indifference in an instant, and his beautiful eyes like a deep lake looked at the group in front of him for a moment.
"Third aunt, what's the important matter in the pear garden so late?" Gao Weihu said lightly, without a trace of emotion in his words.
"Gao Weihu, you are still sitting here so peacefully!" Hao Shi glared fiercely at Gao Wei Lake.
"Oh? Could it be that the third aunt means that I still have to wander in the garden at this time? "Gao Weihu is very strange why the Hao family is abnormal, they have been safe and sound, and now they are blowing evil spirits, which is really difficult to change.
"Hmph, you can fool others, but you can't fool me!" Hao's phoenix eyes were bloodshot, and the anger in his eyes was as if it came from the flames of hell, almost burning the Gaowei Lake.
"Third aunt, what are you talking about? What do I need to lie to you? Gao Weihu frowned slightly, not knowing why Hao said that he had lied to her.
"Don't pretend, I know that I'm sick and sick, it's not for nothing, this thing must have something to do with you!" Hao Shi clenched the silver teeth fiercely.
"Hmph, what does it have to do with me, the broken intestine grass in the osmanthus cake must be inseparable from the third aunt." A trace of condensation flashed in the deep lake-like eyes of Gao Wei Lake.
