Chapter 30: Three cups of self-punishment
After taking a nap in the afternoon, Gu Nianjiao was woken up by Zhu Lu, sat up sleepily, yawned, some tears overflowed from the corners of her eyes, and rubbed her eyes again, "What time is it?" ”
"Back to Miss, it's already three o'clock in the afternoon." Zhu Lu said respectfully.
Gu Nianjiao snorted and was about to get up, Zhu Lu hurriedly took a robe and draped it over her, "Miss, but you're going to make up?" ”
"No, time is still a little tight, hurry up and call Bai Zang in."
Gu Nianjiao got up and walked to the makeup mirror table, sitting in front of the bronze mirror, holding her face with her hands and a boring expression.
Zhu Lu answered and walked out, and after a while, Bai Zang walked in with her.
"Miss, I've thought about it, you must be glamorous today, and the slave must be the envy of everyone who dresses you up." As soon as Bai Zang came in, he let out a lot of nonsense.
Hearing this, Gu Nianjiao smiled a little, "Really? ”
"Seriously, miss, don't you trust my hand?" Bai Zang swore with a sworn face.
Gu Nianjiao raised her eyebrows and looked at her: "Believe it, why don't you believe it, you can hurry up and clean it up for me." ”
"Gotcha." Bai Zang stepped forward, "Miss, let's change our clothes first." Gu Nianjiao nodded and stood up, and Zhu Lu and Bai Zang waited for her to change her clothes.
When it was almost three o'clock, Gu Nianjiao took Qingyang and Zhu Lu out of the door together, helped Qingyang's hand to get into the carriage, Zhu Lu followed and got into the carriage, Qingyang took the small pestle and got into the carriage.
Gu Nianjiao sat in the carriage with a pensive expression, Zhu Lu looked at her and asked, "Miss, but you have something on your mind?" ”
Gu Nianjiao put her hands on her knees, looking like a lady of all the people, "I'm thinking, Wang Hu." ”
Zhu Lu was stunned, "Wang Hu? What does Mademoiselle want him to do? Gu Nianjiao pursed her lips and said: "I have been his enemy every time, provoking him, and his words are still a little vulgar, but he..."
Gu Nianjiao sighed and raised her eyes to look at Zhu Lu: "But he doesn't seem to care at all, although he also said some cruel words, but he has never really been my enemy." ”
"Or, is he jealous of Miss's identity?" Zhu Lu guessed that after all, Gu Nianjiao was the daughter of Hangzhou Jiedu.
Gu Nianjiao shook her head: "I don't think so, the Wang family is also quite prestigious in Hangzhou City, and they won't be easily jealous of me." ”
Zhu Lu was also a little confused at this time: "The slave doesn't know anymore, what is the young lady's thoughts?" ”
"The last time I saw him, he looked at me with a very complicated look, even... There are still some feelings, isn't he happy with me? Gu Nianjiao felt that she was a little narcissistic, but she felt that this was possible, very possible.
Zhu Lu was silent, did not speak, but his head was spinning rapidly, and after a long while, he asked, "Then if he really loves Miss, then what are you going to do?" ”
Gu Nianjiao was stunned for a moment, as if she hadn't really thought about this question, but now it's okay to think about it, tilted her head and thought for a while, before she said slowly: "I don't like him like that." ”
The two of them are quite serious, but does the royal family really like Gu Nianjiao?
Only he knows.
Soon it was Mingyue, and the carriage stopped at the gate of Mingyue.
"Miss, it's already here." Qingyang's voice came in. Zhu Lu approached Gu Nianjiao and went to tidy up her appearance, then opened the curtain for her and helped her get out of the carriage.
One master and two servants stood at the door of Mingyue, taking care of Nianjiao's excellent appearance, and passers-by frequently looked sideways.
Qingyang stepped forward and handed the post to the concierge, looked at him and said softly: "My young lady is the eldest lady of the Gu Mansion, and I was invited by Miss Lu to go to your place to participate in the Spring Festival Flower Party. ”
The porter opened the post and looked at it, and when he heard her say this, he caught a glimpse of Gu Nianjiao's extraordinary temperament and stunning appearance, so he bowed down and stretched out his right hand with a courteous face: "Please here, please here." ”
"I'm tired." Qingyang followed Gu Nianjiao, and the three of them were led by the gatehouse to a very vast water pavilion.
Fortunately, there is sun in the afternoon, and there is still a little warmth, otherwise in this ventilated water pavilion, I am afraid that people will be frozen.
Qingyang gave the porter two or three pieces of silver, smiled at him, and the porter retreated very discerningly.
"It's really hilarious." Gu Nianjiao opened her mouth lazily and walked slowly towards the center of the water pavilion.
Yu Huaiyi saw Gu Nianjiao for the first time, she was too conspicuous, no matter where she was, the first thing she saw was her, and wherever she went, everyone's attention was on her.
The Hua family, led by the family, also saw Gu Nianjiao, her eyes were amazing, she had lived in a deep house for a long time, and she went out several times with the wives and ladies of Hangzhou City, or saw Gu Nianjiao once a long time ago, but she didn't expect that now she is so bright and moving.
Not only her, but many ladies and ladies who are doing it are very amazed by Gu Nianjiao's beauty, and every time she appears, it will bring shock to people.
Jiang Wan was also invited today, but she declined in reply, so she didn't appear in the crowd.
Today's Gu Nianjiao is wearing a fiery red wide-sleeved long skirt, a red cape, stepping on peonies, and wearing a golden step, which is very swaggering and conspicuous.
"Jiaojiao is here? Sit down, come this way. Lu Qingyao's face was enthusiastic, and Yu Huaiyi couldn't recognize her anymore, didn't she always hate Gu Nianjiao? Are you going to make a fool of her today? This is the only reason that Yu Huaiyi has in mind.
Gu Nianjiaolian moved lightly and walked into the water pavilion, and all the young ladies present shy away from her, eager to get as far away from her as possible.
I found a stool, sat down, ignored everyone's expressions, poured a cup of tea for myself, and drank it slowly.
Everyone looked different, and Hua was just about to speak, when a voice suddenly came: "I'm really sorry, I'm late." ”
Gu Nianjiao was stunned, Aunt Changle? Turning his head to look at the person who came, he saw Zhao Changle coming in the sunshine with a decent smile on his face.
Gu Nianjiao frowned, here again, this feeling is coming again, it is the kind of feeling that when she sees Zhao Changle, she will twist it apart.
"Oh, Sister Changle, why did you come at this time, but you have to punish yourself with three cups." Hua Shi pulled Zhao Changle with a smile on his face, and his tone was very familiar.
Zhao Changle also reached out and patted her hand: "I have something to delay on the road, okay, it's tea anyway, three cups will be three." ”
"Huh? I didn't expect Nian Jiao to be there? Zhao Changle seemed to have just seen Gu Nianjiao now, and he was surprised.
Gu Nianjiao smiled lightly, stood up and looked at her: "Aunt Changle." ”
"Good boy, you have to have fun today, your Aunt Changle and Mrs. Hua are very good, if you have anything, just tell Aunt Changle, don't bear it." Zhao Changle looked at Gu Nianjiao with a kind face.
Bear with it? This word is not suitable for Gu Nianjiao, in her eyes, there is no room for a little sand.
Gu Nianjiao nodded: "Nianjiao listens to Aunt Changle." ”
"Don't be formal, just have fun." Hua Shi suddenly spoke, and also looked at Gu Nianjiao with a gentle face.
The girl's smile faded a little, and she bowed her head slightly, seeing that Hua's eyes deepened, but she didn't say anything, turned her head, and talked to Zhao Changle.
