Gu Xiaodie's birthday gifts were also praised by everyone for their willingness to take them at will, although Mrs. Gu didn't say anything, but the smile in her eyes couldn't be stopped, and her face showed a little satisfaction.

In the final analysis, the most satisfying thing is Gu Mingxiu's performance today.

After a few people talked for a while, a lady smiled slightly: "Speaking of which, the embroidery of the fourth lady surprised me even more, there is such a powerful embroidery at a young age, and the chess skills are also higher than the girl in my family, which is really rare." ”

It is the wife of the Shen family and the mother of Shen Qingqing.

"I heard that the fourth lady is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and often accompanies the old lady to recite scriptures, but her concentration is extraordinary."

"It's already so powerful when I'm young, and when I grow a little more in the future, it's even more extraordinary."

The discussion of the ladies fell on Gu Mingxiu's ears, and it couldn't arouse a ripple in her eyes. The little girl stood beside An Li, whispering something to her mother, and occasionally saying a few words to Gu Liyi beside her.

It fell on Gu Changge's ears, but it was very harsh, and she forcibly choked a breath in her heart.

On weekdays, there are all praises around her, but at the moment, there is no word. The strangeness that was ignored for the first time made her want to rush out at this moment and loudly announce that Gu Mingxiu was a wild seed that An Li had stolen from a man outside, so that these people would look at An Li's mother and daughter with strange eyes.

Dong Qing's slightly warning gaze swept over, and reason suppressed the anger in his heart, Gu Changge clenched his handkerchief, the smile on his face did not decrease, he was still as gentle as water, but the resentment in his eyes was fixed on Gu Mingxiu's body like a poisonous snake.

She sneered slightly: Laugh, laugh, when her identity is proven, there will be a time for you to cry. No matter how beautiful it is now, it will inevitably make you fall down in embarrassment.

Gu Xiaodie ran to Gu Liyi's side in small steps, pulled her away with a smile, and hid in a corner while everyone was not paying attention, looking like a little sister was whispering with excellent feelings.

Gu Xiaodie frowned and asked her in a low voice, "How could it be this gift?" Didn't you say okay, let the fifth sister help the fourth sister write, and we will send calligraphy to grandmother together? ”

Hearing this, Gu Liyi shook her head: "So that's the case, when I went to look for the fourth sister, she said that she was ready, just send it with me." Blinking, she looked at Gu Xiaodie, who was a little ugly, strangely, and said, "The second sister said that she wanted me to reconcile with the fourth sister, is it important to give any gifts?" ”

"Of course-" The word important was crushed between her teeth when she blurted out, Gu Xiaodie put away her emotions and showed a reluctant smile, "It's not important, as long as you reconcile with the fourth sister, it's just..."

She sighed, pouted and said, "It's just that the fifth sister, you and the fourth sister prepared other gifts but didn't tell me, like you and the fourth sister have a little secret, but I don't know, I feel that you were snatched away by the fourth sister." ”

"Not really." Gu Li frowned, shook his head, and coaxed her gently, "The fourth sister only asked me to write the scriptures last night, and I didn't think much about it at the time, anyway, the fourth sister prepared it, it's always better than letting me write a hundred longevity characters, I don't have the patience of you, sixth sister." ”

As she spoke, she looked up at the screen over there, frowned and said casually, looking indifferent.

Gu Xiaodie's teeth itched in anger, and she scolded Gu Liyi for being a fool and having no brains, which ruined their affairs. I secretly hated Gu Mingxiu for being cunning, it was really hateful. I have a stomach full of anger in my heart, but I can't show it.

Shen Qingqing walked to Gu Mingxiu's side, glanced sideways at the two people in the corner, snorted lightly, and said in a low voice: "That sister of yours doesn't know what kind of demon she is doing." ”

"Leave them alone." Gu Mingxiu said lightly.

Shen Qingqing had also gone to see the embroidery on the screen, and at this moment she was standing aside with Gu Mingxiu and said, "It's a pity that Fei'er can't come today, otherwise let her also take a look at the crane, she likes these the most." ”

The Ning family is just an ordinary businessman, and they can't talk to these dignitaries. Mrs. Gu's birthday banquet was all invited by nobles in the officialdom, and she would never invite these businessmen.

Gu Mingxiu smiled slightly: "If you like it, I'll embroider two handkerchiefs for you?" ”

"I want you to embroider bamboo." Shen Qingqing was completely unpolite, nodded and said, "It's this kind of bamboo shadow on your clothes, I thought it was very good-looking before, which trick is this?" ”

Mo Zhu, who was waiting behind Gu Mingxiu, laughed: "Miss Shen doesn't know, this is a bamboo shadow painted by my girl herself, and the slave maid saw that it was beautiful, so she took it and asked them to make it." The girl also likes bamboo, and embroiders bamboo shadows on her clothes. ”

When Shen Qingqing heard this, she took a closer look at the mottled bamboo shadow on her clothes and said, "You are really a wonderful person." ”

Gu Mingxiu smiled faintly and didn't say much.

The birthday banquet is about to begin, and the ladies and ladies are all seated. The male and female dependents were not in the same place, and after Gu Jing and Gu Xuan gave gifts, they were separated from several people.

Because of Gu Mingxiu's demeanor, there were many people who were answering Tong'an at this time. Some are curious about how she teaches her daughter, some gossip about Gu Mingxiu's usual virtues, and some test Gu Mingxiu's negation. Only Dong Qing and the others laughed, pretending not to hear the movement on their side.

The dishes were all chosen by An Li, but he avoided some things that Gu Mingxiu couldn't eat.

Gu Changge raised his eyes and glanced at Dong Qing silently. Dong Qing smiled and casually gestured to the maid waiting beside him. The little maid was also clever, and immediately stepped forward to add wine to everyone, and when she arrived at Gu Mingxiu, she didn't know if her hands were shaking or what, but when she touched it, she knocked over the wine glass.

Gu Mingxiu reacted quickly, and quickly held the wine glass, but the cuffs were still stained with some water.

The little maid was shocked, and hurriedly bowed down and pleaded guilty: "It's the slave who is careless!" ”

"Why are you so-so, girl!" Dong Qing frowned and scolded, and softened his voice when he turned to Gu Mingxiu, "Why don't you go and change your clothes, and let your second sister accompany you?" ”

"Fourth sister, I'll accompany you to change your clothes." Gu Changge had already Shi Shiran got up and looked at her gently after leaving the table.

At this moment, it didn't cause a big commotion, Gu Mingxiu quietly glanced at Gu Changge's demeanor, turned his head to look at the uneasy An Li, smiled faintly, and said comfortingly: "Mother, I'll go back when I go." ”

After speaking, he got up indifferently and looked at Gu Changge with a bit of a smile: "In this way, it will trouble the second sister." ”

Gu Changge smiled: "My own sister, you're welcome to say anything." ”

The birthday banquet is not over, and as the host's family, it would be too rude to leave the table early or for too long.

They didn't go back to Mingxin Pavilion to change their clothes, but went to a small courtyard in the side room. Gu Changge ordered people to guard outside, and asked Mo Zhu to go back to Mingxin Pavilion to get clothes, and only Gu Changge and the two were left in the room.

Gu Mingxiu retreated behind the screen to take off his clothes, Gu Changge sat at the table casually, seemed to pour himself a cup of tea, and waited quietly for his sister, and caught a glimpse of Gu Mingxiu putting the shawl and coat on the screen.

She shook her fingers, a little nervous and expectant.

This Gu Mingxiu must not be the real Gu Mingxiu, but she still needs a real hammer.

Mo Zhu came and went quickly, and as soon as the clothes he sent knocked on the door, he was taken by Gu Changge. The girl who didn't back down at all smiled slightly, but she didn't let her enter the door: "If there are too many people, maybe the fourth sister will be shy, just take care of me, you are all waiting outside." ”

Mo Zhu looked at the closed door, and felt a little uneasy in his heart.

If you talk about taking care, it should be her taking care of her girl. She didn't think Gu Changge had such good intentions, but in the end, the other party was a young lady, and she didn't have the right to say no. Mo Zhu didn't say anything, just An An stood aside, but his eyes stared firmly at the closed door.

"Fourth sister, the clothes have been delivered."

Gu Changge said softly after closing the door. She walked slowly with her clothes in her hands, and saw that she was about to walk to the cabinet next to the screen, but she seemed to have accidentally tripped over something, and her steps were chaotic, and she let out a soft exclamation in her mouth, and slammed her whole body into the screen.

Putting his fingers on the screen, Gu Changge barely stabilized his body, and seemed to be a little frightened. She breathed a sigh of relief in shock, suddenly remembered something, and immediately raised her head to look at the person in front of her, with an apologetic expression: "Fourth sister, did I accidentally scare you?" ”

Her gaze fell firmly on the other's chest.

The girl had already shed her outer and middle clothes, and was now wearing only a white single dress.

The white single clothes seemed to be interrupted when they were half taken off, probably alarmed by the movement just now, and at this moment the clothes were half-pulled up, still revealing the snow-white skin on the chest. Large expanses of snow are eye-catching, but there is no red at all.

Gu Changge quietly took a closer look, slightly stunned, and then ecstatic in his heart.

The joy was undisguised, and he jumped straight up his eyebrows, and there was a faint hint of anger and half happiness in his eyes.

- The person in front of him is really not Gu Mingxiu! Then she is not the concubine of the Gu Mansion, she should not be the person who pressed on top of her head, and she should not be the one who robbed her of everything. It's clearly an imposter who shouldn't fight with her.

Gu Changge now wanted to pull her out and tell everyone, so that he could raise his eyebrows.

"Second sister?" The faint female voice awakened Gu Changge's reason.

She raised her head and met Gu Mingxiu's face.

The girl didn't look frightened at all. Gu Mingxiu's hand was on his clothes, his face was cold as usual, and a pair of dark eyes stared at her carelessly, with a bit of sarcasm and indifference in his eyes.

There was a faint smile on the corner of her lips, but it was very cold.

Seeing it like this, the joy in my heart was suddenly frozen. Gu Changge couldn't help but turn his gaze away, always feeling that there was nothing to hide in this kind of gaze, as if his mind had been seen through.

She hurriedly turned her gaze and smiled in disguise: "Fourth, fourth sister, you change your clothes first, and I'll wait for you outside." ”

Obviously, she is the one who should be weak-hearted!

Gu Changge put his clothes on the cabinet beside him, and hurriedly turned around and walked to the table.

Her eyes glanced at the person behind her, and the cold light in her eyes was extremely vicious.

Reading is exciting, reading is wonderful!
