The long wind in April is warm on the body. The branches and leaves were blown to a rustle, and the shadows fell on the bluestone slabs and were mottled and unrecognizable. The girl in the purple dress tilted her head slightly, asking the person in front of her very intently. The long eyelashes cast a shallow shadow on the side face, and the watery eyes flashed with a serious light light.

The wind lifted the girl's white shawl and lined it with a purple dress.

That clear and splendid temperament makes people can't take their eyes off it in the wind.

Prince Shen Yang stared at Gu Mingxiu's side face, his eyes were slightly dark, and he couldn't see what was inside.

Gu Xuan looked at Gu Mingxiu's serious appearance, and was also slightly stunned, and then lost his smile for a moment, shook his head and smiled: "Where is it, the fourth sister looks very good today, like a fairy has entered the mortal world." ”

Hearing this, Gu Mingxiu smiled slightly: "Big brother is talking nonsense again, the fairy is obviously describing the second sister." You joke with me, I don't believe you. ”

"Why can't you be called a fairy?" Gu Xuan smiled, his gaze fell on Gu Mingxiu's face and did not move, "If I say, then we have two fairy-like sisters in our Gu Mansion, isn't it good?" ”

He said it casually, but the girl in front of him smiled and shook his head very seriously: "It's not good." ”

Gu Xuan was slightly stunned, but it was the prince who asked out loud: "Why?" ”

His gaze swept over the prince, without half emotion. Gu Mingxiu met Gu Xuan's curious eyes, and shook his head seriously again: "It's not good, it's not good." ”

"Girl." Mo Zhu looked not far away, stepped forward and whispered.

Gu Mingxiu smiled faintly, got up and saluted: "Big brother, I'll step back first, and I'll see you in the main hall later." She paused, nodded quickly towards the crown prince, and then turned to Gu Xuan and smiled, "When giving gifts for a while, don't dislike my gifts. ”

Gu Xuan smiled, and was about to shake his head, but he seemed to remember something, and called Gu Mingxiu: "Fourth sister, your birthday gift... Is it with the fifth sister? ”

Gu Mingxiu nodded, and seeing that he didn't say anything more, he turned around and left with Mo Zhu.

Staring at the back of the person leaving, Gu Xuan's fingers tapped the desktop again and again, with a look of regret.

He knew what his sister and aunt had in mind, and he also listened to Gu Xiaodie's plan for them. However, he didn't intend to stop it, but he felt a little helpless. In his opinion, this fourth sister is a vase beauty, with empty looks but few brains, but it is a pity for this beauty in vain.

Gu Xuan sighed quietly, and then heard the prince on the side say: "Your fourth sister....call Gu Mingxiu?" ”

"Yes." Gu Xuan replied.

With his eyes slightly open, the prince stared thoughtfully at the hem of the other party's skirt that slowly disappeared into the corner of the porch, and a gentle and approachable smile still appeared on his lips. Casually playing with the cup in his hand, the prince retracted his gaze and said lightly: "Check your fourth sister." ”

Gu Xuan's expression couldn't hide his surprise, and he subconsciously looked back at the direction in which Gu Mingxiu disappeared, feeling a little surprised and curious. However, he followed the prince for many days and knew what to ask and what not to ask, so he just put away the emotions on his face and said, "Yes." ”

turned the original way, and before he approached the inner hall, Gu Mingxiu was stopped by someone.

The young man in Xuanyi wore half a mask and lazily fell in front of the two. A pair of dark eyes were a little cold and not smiling, and the smile on the lips was a little cool. The person who relied on the rockery to stop them carelessly didn't say a word, and the whole person was a little bit "this king is very unhappy now".

Gu Mingxiu frowned, and looked at the person in front of him very puzzled: "His Royal Highness King Xiao, what does this mean?" ”

"Your father punished you for kneeling in the ancestral hall regardless of your body, and I said he was not a good person." Shen Huai lifted his eyelids and looked at her lightly, and there was a bit of a smile in his tone, "You have to believe what this king says, and now this king tells you...."He straightened up, and suddenly bent down slightly towards Gu Mingxiu, his dark eyes suppressed a bit of monstrous anger, "Prince Shen Yang is not a good person." ”

The rage was stormy enough to drown out anything. The storm rose and fell in the eyes, glowing with cold colors.

Mo Zhu's face was pale, but he didn't dare to take a step back, so he had to hang his head in a hurry and clench his sleeves tightly and didn't dare to speak. Gu Mingxiu looked at each other coldly, his eyes were as calm as water, and he couldn't set off a ripple: "His Royal Highness King Xiao said with a smile, I don't know His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

"You know that person is the crown prince." Shen Huai sneered, "Don't try to be clever in front of me, and don't try to lie to me." ”

Gu Mingxiu said lightly: "Even so, it is a guest invited by the eldest brother, and it has nothing to do with me." But Your Highness, what do you mean by blocking my way three times and twice? ”

"Why, as long as he comes, this king will not come?" Shen Huai stared at her eyes that did not fluctuate at all, and the chill on his face couldn't help but be even more victorious, "Gu Mingxiu, recognize your status and stay away from him." ”

After that, without waiting for any more reaction from the person in front of him, Shen Huai shook his hand and turned to leave. It's just that the smiling face seems to have a layer of frost, and it makes people feel cold through the mask.

"Girl, are you alright?" Mo Zhu hurriedly grabbed Gu Mingxiu's hand, a little afraid.

Gu Mingxiu said lightly: "Let's go." ”

Mo Zhu stopped talking, but frowned slightly as she followed behind Gu Mingxiu: she had served her own girl for so many years, and she knew exactly who the girl had contact with. Before entering the mansion, the girl had never been in contact with any man, but now why....This His Royal Highness King Xiao looked very familiar with the girl.

She was puzzled, and Gu Mingxiu was also confused.

When the two entered the inner hall, they heard Gu Changge smile softly: "Look, say Cao Cao Cao has arrived." Fourth sister, just as I was talking about you, you came. She stood beside Old Madam Gu and beckoned to her gently, "You're younger, I'm afraid you're afraid, why don't you give your grandmother a gift first?" ”

Dong Qing also smiled and nodded: "Yes, in previous years, your second sister gave them first, but this year, since Siniang is back, I will let you be the first to give a gift, let us also take a look at what good things you have prepared." ”

"Yes." Gu Xiaodie echoed with a smile, "The fourth sister always doesn't tell us what gifts you have prepared, but I know that the second sister and the eldest brother are them, so I want to take a look at the fourth sister today." ”

As she spoke, her eyes widened, as if she couldn't wait.

Gu Changge saw Gu Mingxiu smiling and silent, so he paused and said softly, "Is the fourth sister shy?" If so....then I'll take out the gift I prepared first, and then give it to my fourth sister? ”

Her original intention was to provoke Gu Mingxiu. These ladies are always full of praise for Gu Mingxiu, and they seem to be quite satisfied, completely forgetting her existence, she doesn't care, after all, they can see in a while how much this concubine doesn't know how much etiquette she has, and how much she prepares birthday gifts is not as good as her.

Whether Gu Mingxiu agrees or not, the birthday gift is bound to meet people today. She was a jewel in front of her, but it made Gu Mingxiu even more embarrassed; If she is behind, she can also let Gu Mingxiu's birthday gift show off herself.

"It's okay." Gu Mingxiu didn't shirk, and said lightly, "Mozhu." ”

She was so happy that Gu Changge was stunned, and then she saw Gu Liyi standing up embarrassedly, and said with a smile: "Grandmother, this gift was prepared by me and the fourth sister, but it was not very good... Don't be disgusted. ”

"Where is it," Dong Qing smiled and rubbed Gu Liyi's head, "You have a good idea with your fourth sister, where do you dislike it." ”

As he was talking, Mozhu and Agarwood brought something out, covered with red satin, but people couldn't see what it was.

Gu Changge was stunned,

"I know that my grandmother is kind-hearted and a person who eats fasting and recites Buddha, so I prepared this gift." Gu Mingxiu smiled slightly, looked at Mozhu, motioned for the other party to take off the red silk, and said softly, "Grandmother, don't dislike it." ”

The red silk was ripped off, revealing a screen.

Guanyin, who was sitting on the lotus platform, closed his eyes and smiled. The face of Guanyin is peaceful, which makes people feel peaceful at a glance. On the white silk stands Guanyin, and a few cranes fly around, and the clouds are flying, a peaceful image.

Someone leaned in slightly and said in surprise, "This is... Is this embroidery? This is actually the embroidered Guanyin? ”

"Yes, my embroidery is a little rough, and I want to make you laugh." Gu Mingxiu said softly, "This side is ****, I embroidered it, and the latter side is the scriptures written by the fifth sister, mixed with Canaan incense, and smells a little fragrant." ”

The crowd looked closer. The Guanyin embroidered between them is like a real person, and the expression between the eyebrows is very moving. The pattern is clearly visible along with the wardrobe. The cranes soaring in the clouds were lifelike, and their black jade eyes stared at Guanyin, as if they were really saying something. The stitches are neat and smooth to the touch.

Looking over again, the calligraphy is also written in a majestic atmosphere, occupying a full side, faintly penetrating into the white yarn, but a little more hazy charm.

"If Miss Four's embroidery is not good, no one dares to say that her embroidery is good." There is a lady who can't help but say.

"This embroidery is very exquisite, and after a careful look, I realized that it was not up and down with Aunt Dong back then." Touching the crane above, a lady couldn't help but praise softly, "Could it be the fourth lady taught by Aunt Dong?" ”

Dong Qing's face was ugly, and when he saw that everyone was busy collecting his emotions, he smiled and was about to speak, Gu Mingxiu had already laughed softly: "I'm young, don't coax me to be happy." This is just embroidery and playing in my spare time in the temple, and I don't dare to say that it is very good now, just don't dislike it. ”

She stood beside An Li, her eyes were gentle, without half a bit of superfluous affection, and her voice was soft and full of smiles.

"My aunt is busy teaching the second sister embroidery every day. The second sister is the most attentive, and sometimes she is fascinated by learning but she doesn't even know it late at night, which really makes Siniang ashamed. ”

Reading is exciting, reading is wonderful!
