Chapter XII

Mrs. Gu looked at the two young ladies of the Zhao family kindly, and praised the Chen family for raising the girl very well.

Then he took Qu Muge's hand and said, "Xiao Xuan'er, I came to see the two sisters." ”

Mrs. Gu introduced Qu Muge to the mother and daughter, saying that she was a guest of the Gu family, called Ye Taixuan.

This introduction is unclear, Chen doesn't know who Ye Taixuan is, and it is inconvenient to ask, so he casually praised the little girl's good looks.

Zhao Huiyuan, the eldest lady of the Zhao family, was a little absent-minded, glanced at Qu Muge hastily, and did not take the initiative to entertain her.

The second lady, Zhao Huijuan, was more enthusiastic, smiled and took Qu Muge's hand, and took Qu Muge to the small tearoom behind the screen to sit down and talk.

"Are you from Jinling? How come I haven't seen you before? Miss Zhao Er asked.

Without waiting for Qu Muge to answer, Miss Zhao choked up and said to her sister: "There are so many people in Jinling, can you know them all?" ”

The second young lady pouted, but she didn't take it to heart, and was soon attracted by the lotus flower worn by Qu Muge's neck.

"Wow, it's pretty, it must be expensive, right?"

Miss Zhao rolled her eyes, pushed her sister, and said, "Haven't you seen anything good?" Lose face! ”

Miss Zhao Er shut up aggrievedly.

Qu Muge couldn't see it a little, and said to the two sisters gently: "I lived in Xiaoleiyin Temple with Mrs. Gu before, and I haven't been to the city much, so the second lady must have never seen me." This Yingluo was bought in Baohua Pavilion, if the second lady likes it, you can go and see it, there are other good-looking styles. ”

Miss Zhao Er said happily: "It turned out to be something from Baohua Pavilion, and its things are the best, and I also have a jade pendant, which belongs to Baohua Pavilion." ”

As he spoke, he wanted to take Qu Muge to the room to see the jade pendant.

The three of them left the tea room and walked to the backyard, Miss Zhao didn't want to be accompanied, so she went back to her room halfway.

After returning to the room, Pei'er, the maid who took care of her, advised: "The eldest lady is no longer happy, and she should endure it in front of the guests." ”

Miss Zhao said irritably: "What are you afraid of, it's just a little girl, and it's not someone from the Gu family." ”

The maid was silent and didn't dare to say more.

After a while, another maid came back at a trot, and as soon as she entered the house, Miss Zhao immediately asked, "How is it?" See? ”

The maid pressed her chest with her hand, and said with a red face and a heartbeat: "See, General Gu is very handsome and heroic, he has no three heads and six arms, and he is not fierce!" I've never seen such a good-looking man, and a few cousins can't be compared at all! ”

Pei'er happily said to Miss Zhao: "Miss is relieved now!" ”

Zhao Huiyuan blushed slightly, pursed her lips and smiled, and whispered, "It's pretty much the same." ”

Lord Taishou Zhao has the heart to marry the Gu family, although his position is not high, but the Zhao and Gu families are fellow villagers, he has helped Master Gu a lot of convenience, and with this relationship, he wants to give it a try.

Chen originally disagreed, after all, it was rumored everywhere that Gu Nanye was murderous and a very terrible person, and she was afraid of making her daughter suffer. But I couldn't bear my husband's intentions, so I had to agree to hold a banquet and look at each other.

Miss Zhao was in a better mood and said, "Let's go, let's go to the second sister to have a look, so as not to snub the guests by this stupid girl." ”

Miss Zhao Er entertained Qu Muge in her room and turned out a lot of beloved jewelry to show her.

While looking at the jewelry, Miss Zhao Er inquired: "Are you by Mrs. Gu's side, do you often see General Gu?" Isn't he fierce, he has to kill people every day? ”

Qu Muge explained: "Who are you listening to? The general kills the enemy to protect his family and defend the country, and he will not kill people for no reason, nor will he kill people every day. ”

Miss Zhao Er said: "That's what everyone said, and it was said that he was like a giant ape, as powerful as an ox, and with a break of his hands, he ripped off the head of the prince of Qiuqiong. ”

Seeing what she said, Qu Muge couldn't help laughing.

"What are you laughing at," Miss Zhao Er insisted, "Someone saw it when General Zhao killed the Prince of the Firmament, and that's what he said. ”

Qu Muge shook his head and said, "General Gu has come to your house as a guest today, you can take a look at it with your own eyes during the luncheon." ”

"I don't dare...... Sounds like a monster. ”

Qu Muge pursed his lips and said with a smile: "General Gu is not only not a monster, but he is also very ...... Pretty. ”

"Good-looking?" Miss Zhao Er stared at her round eyes and asked curiously, "How do you say that a man is good-looking?" ”

"You just met Mrs. Gu, right? Isn't it beautiful? General Gu is the son of Mrs. Gu, and his eyebrows and eyes are very similar to Mrs. Gu, but because he has practiced martial arts all year round, he does not look feminine, and he is very handsome. ”

Miss Zhao's curiosity was completely aroused, and at this moment, Miss Zhao suddenly pushed the door and walked in, and said to the two: "It's time for the banquet, let's go back to the front yard early." ”

Just as Miss Zhao Er wanted, she jumped up from the chair, pulled Qu Muge and walked out.

Halfway through, Miss Zhao Er suddenly said, "Sister, this is the way to the living room, didn't Dad say that there are distinguished guests today, won't you let us go?" ”

Miss Zhao explained: "If we don't go in, what are we afraid of? It's much closer to the banquet hall from here. ”

Qu Muge felt a little strange, but she was a guest, so she couldn't say anything, so she had to cast an inquiring look at Miss Zhao Er.

Miss Zhao Er didn't say a word, and followed her sister directly.

Qu Muge had no choice but to follow.

After walking to the front yard, this side is obviously much more lively than the backyard, Zhao Taishou invited many male guests, and there are countless servants and guards who came with the guests.

Miss Zhao walked into the back hall of the living room familiarly, and looked into the front hall through the screen and flower window.

Qu Muge didn't want to cause trouble to the Gu family, so he acted more carefully, standing on the stone road outside the back hall and didn't go in.

Seeing that she didn't go in, Miss Zhao Er looked at her sister, then at Qu Muge, and finally chose to hide behind the screen with her sister because of her curiosity about Gu Nanye.

On the main seat of the living room, Gu Nanye and the imperial history of the capital are seated, and the two columns below are the officials and big families of Jinling City.

Gu Nanye listened to everyone's polite greetings, his face was expressionless, and he didn't speak.

Everyone couldn't figure out his temperament, they had only heard of his terrible, and they didn't dare to talk about other topics on him except for compliments.

Zhao Taishou's brother-in-law Chen Heng is also listed as an accompaniment, he is the youngest son of the Chen family, just twenty.

Chen Heng was favored by his parents when he was young, and when he grew up, he had his sister and brother-in-law as backers, and his temperament was inevitably arrogant.

He restrained himself from being with him for a long time today, and he was impatient, and when he was bored, he saw his niece probing his brain at the screen in the back hall.

Anyway, no one paid any attention to him, so he quietly got up and withdrew from the front hall, and went around the corridor outside the house to the back hall, intending to see what his nieces were peeking at.
