"Grandmother, slow down."

The soft female voice is still a little immature, and it comes out through the light veil. The voice is as crisp as a silver bell, gently, like a feather falling on the heart, indescribably gentle and moving.

With just one sound, he couldn't help but attract many eyes to stare at the figure.

Mo Zhu and Shuangxi lifted the light veil, and the girl helped Mrs. Gu out.

The skirt embroidered with green bamboo swayed slightly with the girl's walking, and the bamboo shadows were mottled and scattered. The white corset, embroidery thread embroidered a circle of cumbersome patterns on the waist seal, making the girl's waist light. The white shawl hung down to the hem of her skirt and swayed with her movements. She came slowly, just concentrating on supporting the old lady, her long eyelashes drooping slightly, and her eyes shining with a touching water.

The girl's hair was scattered behind her, and she wore a delicate bun, a few simple pearl hair ornaments inserted in her hair, but she only wore a crystal step. If you look closely, there seems to be flowing water in the crystal, which makes the girl's eyes smart, like a fairy in the water.

Gu Changge was stunned, and unconsciously clenched his sleeves.

Others don't recognize it, but Gu Fu's own people do. The crystal step shake was handed down by the Gu Mansion master mother in the past, but it was always kept with the old lady. This step is delicate and gorgeous, and it is very pleasing to Gu Changge. It's just that the old lady values this hairpin and wants to hand it over to her.

Now... How could it be given to Gu Mingxiu?!

And they thought that Gu Mingxiu was used to wearing plain dresses on weekdays, and she was also used to the dress of a small jasper, if it was a grand ceremony today, she would definitely not be able to suppress that dignified. Gu Mingxiu's dress was made by the old lady herself, Gu Changge was a little envious when he saw it, just thinking about it, Gu Mingxiu couldn't hold it down, and felt interesting.

But now the girl doesn't seem to be dressed in a nondescript way, she has a dignified demeanor, and she comes with all the money, and the nobility and dust on her body complement each other, without the slightest rejection.

Gu Changge tightened his fingers and said with a smile: "The fourth sister is so good-looking today, I can't see how you dress up in the next day, and I only know what a beauty is when I dress up today." ”

She was probably full of jealousy in her heart, so she insinuated that Gu Mingxiu was lazy and didn't like to dress up on weekdays, but she chose to dress up when she could see many nobles, and such a woman was generally very deep.

But she forgot that the ladies present were all very powerful people in the back house, and they would think in another direction if they heard it a little. It is said that Gu Changge is steady and gentle, but now it doesn't seem to be on the surface, and he is not a good kind when he looks at it.

Thinking about it like this, everyone's gaze at her was slightly meaningful.

Gu Mingxiu helped Mrs. Gu and blinked: "The clothes and jewelry are all chosen by my grandmother, so they are naturally very good-looking." ”

His eyes swept around the people in the hall slightly, and Gu Mingxiu smiled softly: "Siniang has seen you." ”

She bowed lightly, her eyes drooping slightly, and a faint but gentle smile on her lips. The long hair slipped from the shoulders, the girl's posture was natural and dignified, her movements were not restrained for half a minute, and she still had a polite and dignified smile on her face when she raised her head.

Old Madam Gu smiled with satisfaction, and said lightly: "This is the fourth girl in my house, I am still a little young, I don't know what etiquette is, if I make any jokes, you can just laugh and pass." ”

And all the people laughed at this.

A lady said, "If you don't know what etiquette is, then what else can you call it a etiquette?" I look at the nobility of the fourth young lady, but it is no less than the nobles in the palace. ”

"It's just that I'm younger." Someone nodded in agreement, and said with a smile, "After the time, if it grows a little longer, I'm afraid it will be a little better than now." ”

"No wonder I want to send it to Chongming Temple, such a precious lady, I also have to hide it, so as not to be remembered."

Everyone laughed and spoke, and all kinds of eyes fell on Gu Mingxiu, with a bit of scrutiny and inquiry. She didn't notice it, just stood there, quietly hanging her long eyelashes, the smile on her lips.

Old Madam Gu shook her head with a smile, and said to Gu Mingxiu in a slow voice: "After accompanying me for so long, you should be bored." Go and go to the garden with the other sisters, you don't have to accompany us. ”

Gu Mingxiu wanted to refuse, but her eyes fell on Gu Changge's slightly deformed handkerchief, paused, and nodded with a smile: "Siniang knows." With that, he bowed to everyone and slowly retreated.

The two of them exited the lobby and walked down the path to the backyard.

Mo Zhu accompanied Gu Mingxiu around the rockery, and before he walked out, he heard a voice behind him: "Fourth sister, wait for me." ”

Mingzhu helped Gu Changge to walk towards the place where the two of them were standing, Gu Changge smiled and said: "You are happy, there are a lot of people in the garden at the moment, why don't we go to the small pavilion and sit for a while and talk?" ”

Gu Mingxiu glanced around and said, "There is a small pavilion above here, why don't you go up and sit down, you can also see the wind in the distance, what does the second sister think?" ”

Gu Changge nodded: "It's okay." ”

The two went up to the small pavilion, and Gu Changge ordered the two maids to wait outside the pavilion. Mo Zhu glanced at Gu Mingxiu quietly, and saw that she had no extra reaction, so he quietly followed Mingzhu to stand outside the pavilion.

"There are so many people here today, I was afraid that the fourth sister would be a little uncomfortable, but now it seems that the fourth sister is very calm." Gu Changge said softly.

Gu Mingxiu smiled faintly: "Second sister said that I laughed, I am the concubine of Gu Mansion, my grandmother values me so much, I can't lose the face of Gu Mansion no matter what, don't you say?" ”

She intentionally or unintentionally aggravated the word daughter-in-law, and inadvertently tilted her head slightly when she spoke, and the steps on her hair shook slightly.

Secretly gritting his teeth, Gu Changge said with a smile: "What the fourth sister said is that I think my mother has also talked to the fourth sister in the temple about a lot of etiquette, and she should deal with it very decently today." It's just that my sister's dress is still a little plain, but this step is very beautiful, was it given to the fourth sister by my mother? ”

"Second sister, you don't know?" Gu Mingxiu curled her lips, a little smiling, "This is the step shake given to Xiu'er by my grandmother, and my grandmother also said to Xiu'er....The second sister also wants this step shake very much, but now the second sister can't recognize it?" ”

Gu Changge was a little speechless for a moment. She didn't believe that Old Madam Gu would say these words to Gu Mingxiu, but she didn't have the courage to be stupid enough to question Old Madam Gu like this.

"It's because my memory is a little poor." Gu Changge said softly, she got up and took Gu Mingxiu's hand and walked to the railing, and said, "Fourth sister, I always want to talk to my sister after you return home." There is always a slight misunderstanding between us, which makes you dislike me and think I ......"

"Second sister, don't talk nonsense, why didn't I like you?" Gu Mingxiu interrupted her lightly, "After I returned home, I cultivated in the Mingxin Pavilion every day, and the second sister almost never set foot in my yard, I thought it was because the second sister didn't like me." The tail note was slightly lengthened, and Gu Mingxiu raised his eyes to meet Gu Changge's gaze.

The dark eyes were cold, making the smile in Gu Changge's eyes freeze instantly.

She looked at the girl in front of her and curled the corners of her lips carelessly, with a cold mockery. She approached her, her voice slightly lowered, cold and piercing: "Second sister, I know....you have always wanted me to die." ”

Those dark eyes stared at her firmly, chilling from her.

Gu Changge was shocked, his heart suddenly panicked, and he subconsciously pushed away the cold hands in his hands. The force was sudden and uncontrollable, and the girl standing beside her couldn't help but crash down to the edge of the railing, and it seemed like she was about to fall.

"Girl!!" Mo Zhu screamed and pounced.

The dark figure flashed, and a figure swung out from above the pavilion, easily grabbing Gu Mingxiu's waist and taking it to the pavilion. The skirt was flying, and the young man with a lazy smile hugged the girl and landed lightly, and his cool gaze met Gu Mingxiu's gaze, and he was a little annoyed in it.

Gu Mingxiu: "........"

"His Royal Highness King Xiao?! How did you end up here?! ”

Before he could recover from the fright of the girl's almost fall, Gu Changge's gaze fell on the half-masked young man for a moment of panic, and he couldn't help but scream.

King Xiao's eyes didn't notice Gu Changge at all: "This king is taking a nap in the pavilion, and you have disturbed the purity of this king by being born here." ”

Gu Mingxiu: ".... Your Highness, this is the Gu Mansion. ”

"Let this king think about it, Miss Gu Si fainted last time, it was this king who helped, and this time it was this king who saved Miss Gu Si...."King Xiao opened his mouth casually, and his smiling gaze faintly flowed on the little face of the girl in his arms, "Fourth Miss, do you repay this life-saving grace or not?" ”

His eyes were deep, and he stared at Gu Mingxiu quietly.

At this moment, Mo Zhu rushed over, she saluted, and her face was a little bad: "Thank you His Royal Highness King Xiao for saving my girl, just ask His Royal Highness to let my girl down, if people see the discord between the etiquette, it will not be good to ruin the reputation of His Royal Highness and my girl." ”

King Xiao ignored it, and Gu Mingxiu said lightly: "Your Highness, self-respect." ”

There was a hint of menace in his voice.

King Xiao raised his eyebrows, but didn't say anything more, let go of Gu Mingxiu, and his eyes finally fell on Gu Changge: "This king originally heard that the second lady was famous, but he didn't know that he was actually bullying his sister at home....."

He shook his head, smiling wickedly and indifferently: "This king asked the second miss to bring a message to the fourth miss, if the fourth miss wakes up, please come to the house to thank you, it seems that the second miss has not listened to the king's words." ”

"No, Your Highness...."Gu Changge's face was pale, and he wanted to explain something, but he saw that King Xiao turned his head in a lack of interest, and after seeing Gu Mingxiu, he smiled in a low voice, and then turned around and left calmly.

Gu Mingxiu frowned, glanced at Gu Changge lightly, and said lightly: "Second sister doesn't have anything to say to me if she wants to come, so I'll leave first." ”
