It was Cui Yu who came out of the village to greet Gu Mingzhu, she was wearing a plain brocade rabbit fur cloak and stood by the door with a smile, watching Gu Mingzhu get out of the carriage and meet her to celebrate the New Year.

When Gu Mingzhu saw her for the first time, she felt that she was a beautiful woman, she really had the demeanor of a beautiful lady in a family, she was generous, and she was not born with power and unwillingness because her husband's family was an ordinary family, nor because she would grovel when she returned to the Cui family and saw everyone in the Cui family, even if she lived in an ordinary family, she could be willing to do so, such a person really taught Gu Mingzhu that she couldn't dislike it.

She smiled and said to Cui Yu: "Mrs. Sun, Fuyan Xinxi, you came so early." ”

Cui Yu went into the Zhuangzi with her: "There are still a few female dependents coming today, so Gorou invited me to help with it." ”

There is no hostess in Lizhuang, only Cui Lin and Cui Yi, two brothers, and it is reasonable to invite Cui Yu to come over to help accompany the guests.

The female guests she introduced to Gu Mingzhu, those are the second wife of Cui and her two daughters Cui Shuang and Cui Xue of the Yangcheng lineage next to the Cui family.

Two days ago, Cui Hai of this branch had already personally come to the door with a rich New Year's gift, and yesterday Cui Lin sent a post, inviting Cui Hai to come over and sit with the Xu family and the Cui family sisters, which also recognized the character of the Xu family and Cui Shuang and Cui Xue, otherwise they would not have been introduced to Gu Mingzhu.

Speaking of which, Gu Mingzhu has not seen many ladies and ladies of the family, the previous time they were all bitter and hateful, and they didn't care about Gu Mingzhu when they met, they were busy complaining and complaining, Zheng Yuan, Cui Ning and Gu Mingzhu were not very right, but they were a little curious about these two, and they didn't know what kind of attitude they would have.

When he was about to reach the outside of the main hall, Cui Yu stopped, and said to Gu Mingzhu with a slightly solemn face: "Zheng's Ayuan is also here." ”

Gu Mingzhu's steps slowed down, and his heart sank for a moment, but his face didn't show anything at all, just showed a faint smile: "Mrs. Zheng is the Zheng family, so naturally she is coming." ”

Cui Yu shook his head: "No, she came by herself, and Gorou never asked her to be invited." ”

Not only did she not invite her to come, but even the New Year's gift sent by Zheng Fu some time ago was returned, although another one was added to maintain a superficial harmony, but whoever saw the original New Year's gift knew what was going on.

But Zheng Yuan, who has always been arrogant, didn't know what was wrong, not only did she not get angry, but she didn't tell me today, and she came to leave the village, saying that she was here to give Mrs. Cui a New Year's gift, and she didn't know that Mrs. Cui had already returned to Boling.

The person has already come, and the Cui family is not good, so they let her go back, so they can only invite her to sit down in the hall as well, which can be regarded as an uninvited guest at the banquet.

Gu Mingzhu's awkwardness in her heart was a little better, and she felt that her reaction was a little too much, and said, "It's okay, I also know Mrs. Zheng." ”

Cui Yu saw that her eyebrows were stretched, her expression was clear, and she didn't seem to have any trouble, so she let go of her heart and invited Gu Mingzhu into the main hall with a smile, and she liked Gu Mingzhu more in her heart.

The ladies of the family are often because of their delicate status, and their temperament is also a little willful and arrogant, and they are not very likely to think about others, it is rare that although Gu Mingzhu is also a delicate and expensive lady of the noble mansion, she can also take care of the feelings of others, and it will not make people embarrassed.

Entering the main hall, several people who were originally sitting on the couch stopped talking, and looked at Gu Mingzhu, who came in with Cui Yu.

A lady sitting on the side seat and two little ladies who were almost the same in dress all got up, smiled and saluted Gu Mingzhu, and spoke very politely.

This made Gu Mingzhu a little surprised, she always felt that the people in the family didn't look down on the Chang'an clan and noble mansion very much, and Mrs. Cui's attitude was also very resolute at the beginning, why were these people so polite?

She also smiled and returned the salute, and then looked at Zheng Yuan who was seated.

I haven't seen Zheng Yuan for a while, since the last time she left the Zheng Mansion, Zheng Yuan has never appeared in front of her again, and now she looks a lot haggard, her originally delicate face has become a little gloomy, and her eyes looking at Gu Mingzhu are even more sharp.

She slowly got up and bent her knees slightly: "County Lord." ”

Gu Mingzhu looked at her and also showed a chuckle: "Lady Zheng." ”

Outsiders saw that it was just two women with excellent looks and elegance who greeted each other, but Cui Yu could see it clearly, Zheng Yuan looked at Gu Mingzhu with resentment in her eyes, but Gu Mingzhu was lazy and a little indifferent, and she was unwilling to pay more attention to Zheng Yuan.

It seems that Gorou is really a "blue face and trouble"!

Cui Yu smiled helplessly in his heart, obviously they were two extremely outstanding women, but because of Goro, there was some hostility in the air when they met.

She hurriedly stepped forward and invited Gu Mingzhu to sit down at the upper seat, Zheng Yuan sat on the seat next to her, sat on the side by herself, and introduced the two sisters of the Xu family and the Cui family to Gu Mingzhu: "This is the second lady of the Cui family in Yangcheng, these two are the eldest lady in her house, Shuangniang, the second lady, Xueniang, and our distant cousin." ”

Xu Shi looked at it like a kind person, smiled and said to Cui Yu: "Yu Niang, haven't you told me that the county lord's demeanor is like this, it really taught me to look at it, no wonder it is said that Chang'an is an outstanding person, compared with our Boling and Xingyang ancient counties, it is not comparable." ”

This is really good at saying, not only praising Chang'an, but also elevating the Boling Cui family, no one can fault it.

It can be seen that this person is a sleek and shrewd person.

Gu Mingzhu smiled slightly, playing with the green glazed plum branch tea pot sent by the maidservant, compared to those ladies of the family who thought of themselves very highly, she liked this second lady Cui in the side branch more, at least it was more comfortable to get along.

The two ladies of the Cui family couldn't help but look at Gu Mingzhu at this time, their eyes were full of curiosity and amazement.

They had seen Zheng Yuan before, because it was a side branch, although they could occasionally go back to Boling to worship their ancestors for the New Year's Festival, but after all, their identity was one layer worse than that of their own family, and they could only take a look at Zheng Yuan from a distance at the Cui family's banquet.

They were pleasantly surprised to see Zheng Yuan in Lizhuang today, and they were very enthusiastic and wanted to talk to Zheng Yuan, but Zheng Yuan's heart was full of complexity at this time, and they were a little cold, and they were very disappointed.

Until I saw Gu Mingzhu, looking at her radiant face, like a dazzling light illuminating the entire main hall, she walked towards them step by step, the smile on her face was light and calm, and her speech and demeanor were generous and gentle, which made people feel comfortable but did not dare to be presumptuous, and couldn't help but have respect, this time they had long forgotten their previous disappointment with Zheng Yuan, and looked at Gu Mingzhu with curiosity, wanting to know more about this Lingling County Lord.
