Chapter 481: There are always some surprises
The second Lanzhou swayed and approached, and a few young Lang Jun came down, who were also handsome and elegant, but compared to Cui Lin and Cui Yi, it was bleak after all.
The first one was even more honest, with a smile on his round face, and he saw Cui Lin walking forward quickly: "Wulang came back from Chang'an, but he never told us that he only saw you today." ”
Cui Lin saw a few of them and showed a smile: "Third brother, Liulang ......"
Gu Mingzhu originally only thought that these were ordinary children of the Cui family, but when she lowered her head to get the bowl on the case, she inadvertently found that Zheng Yuan's face was very strange.
The originally soft and delicate face was already a little hideous at this time, and his eyes were fixed on a faintly unclear figure outside the veil, it was not Cui Lin, but that San Lang.
Gu Mingzhu's heart moved, and he gently turned his face sideways and said to Cui Ning, who had never spoken and lowered his head: "Seventh lady, these are all Langjun in the house?" ”
Cui Ning raised his head and looked at it, and said softly: "Yes, the one in the front is the third brother Wei Lang in the second room, and the sixth brother Yin Lang in the third room is in the back......
Gu Mingzhu suddenly understood, it turned out that the one was Cui Sanlang Cui Wei who Zheng Yuan was going to marry, and he was polite and polite in his speech and demeanor, but Zheng Yuan looked at her with disgust for some reason, and even her flower-like appearance was a little distorted.
Zheng Yuan was indeed very disgusted with the person in front of him.
It's not that she doesn't know Cui Wei, she has often come to Cui's Mansion since she was a child, and she knows the Langjun of the Cui family, but she has always only had Cui Lin in her eyes, after all, Cui Lin is a dazzling existence even in the Langjun of the Cui family, so that people can't see others.
So in her impression, Cui Wei is also a bleak shadow, vaguely remembering that he is a person who looks very honest, and does not have much family style, just the appearance of an ordinary person, without much light, or his light is weak and inconspicuous in front of his brother.
How could such a person be her husband! Is she going to be with such a person for the rest of her life, watching her best things be buried by such a person, being a useless man's wife!
The hatred in Zheng Yuan's heart, which was already like a beast, was about to break free from the shackles and pounce out to bite everything in front of him.
She stared at Cui Wei to death, watched him walk to Cui Lin and sit down, talking to Cui Lin and a few people, smiling and making people feel good, but at this moment Zheng Yuan couldn't give birth to a good feeling, she only had endless disgust, disgust to see him talk, disgust to see him behave, and even he was an uncomfortable existence there, hating to let him disappear.
She opened her eyes and saw Cui Lin sitting next to Cui Wei, and the stark contrast at that moment made the resentment in her heart swell tenfold and hundredfold.
Cui Ting was talking to Cui Huan about the Dongying paintings that her mother brought back from the Yuan family, and she pulled Zheng Yuan with great interest: "Sister Zheng, you must have seen the paintings brought by those Dongying monks, right, they are so bright and chic......
Zheng Yuan suddenly came back to his senses, pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled: "Yes, that's a rare thing." ”
It's just that her gaze swept over Gu Mingzhu and landed on Cui Ning and Gu Mingzhu, and she moved away for a long time.
This birthday banquet for Cui Ting was not very lively, the Langjun lady of the Cui family was taught very strictly since childhood, almost no one spoke at the banquet, they all used the food quietly, only after the meal was removed, the Langjun sat on the other side of the water pavilion to cook wine and drink and talk for a while.
And the ladies on this side were even more dull, Cui Wan did not sit next to Zheng Yuan anymore, but said that it was windy in the water pavilion, and moved the couch to the back to sit down, closer to Gu Mingzhu and Cui Ning.
Cui Ting didn't know this, she happily pestered Zheng Yuan to talk, and every time she said something that Zheng Yuan agreed, she was like a child who had gotten the candy, and she was overjoyed.
Gu Mingzhu didn't care about this, she leaned on the railing, one hand on the railing, holding her snow-white cheeks like jade, looking at the clear waves of the pond, the breeze was very pleasant. I don't know why, she doesn't feel restrained at this moment, although the strangers sitting next to her are unfamiliar, and she is in the Cui Mansion who doesn't have much kindness to her, but she just unconsciously relaxed her mood and enjoyed this moment of freedom.
Maybe it's because of the figure sitting as steady as a pine outside the veil.
After sitting for a while, the banquet finally dispersed, and everyone went back on the Lan boat.
The stairs of the Lanzhou from the water pavilion are extremely wide, and the Lanzhou is parked on both sides, and the steps are wet and full of water, and the people who come down have to carefully lift the hem of their robes and stand on tiptoe to go to the Lanzhou.
Cui Ting is considered the master's house, she frowned and pouted while walking, and instructed: "Quickly let someone go and get the carpet to pave it, why is it suddenly so slippery, didn't it be like this before, how good it would be if you stepped on the embroidered shoes for a while." ”
The ladies are wearing light silk shoes, which can't touch the water, so this time they also help the maid to walk on tiptoe step by step, fortunately, the stairs are not long, and you can go down in more than ten steps.
Although they were all careful, they still went wrong in the end.
Gu Mingzhu is a distinguished guest and a marriage envoy, she is naturally at the forefront, and when she helped Abi down the last few steps, she seemed to have stepped on stagnant water, her feet slipped, and she rushed straight to the front, and in front of her was the sparkling pool water, if she couldn't stop her steps, she would fall into it.
This thrilling scene made Cui Huan and Cui Ting, who followed behind, scream in fright, their faces were white and scary, and Cui Ning also looked ahead in panic at the end.
Only Zheng Yuan, after being surprised, was indifferent, and even looked forward to it, as if it was just an instant, but countless thoughts had already turned in her heart.
Lang Jun also heard the screams, Qi Qi turned his head and looked over, what he saw was such a thrilling scene, Gu Mingzhu was about to fall into the water.
Cui Lin's pale face finally changed drastically at this moment, and for the first time there was anxiety and uneasiness on his handsome face, and he even turned around to go over there.
He couldn't care about any evasion, no patience, nothing was more important than her, even if all his plans were really in vain, it couldn't reach her safety!
It's just that at this moment, Abi grabbed Gu Mingzhu alive!
When Gu Mingzhu's feet slipped and lost his center of gravity and rushed forward, Abi instinctively grabbed her hand and wanted to hold her, but I don't know if it was because of the large water trail under their feet, the two of them couldn't hold their feet and rushed forward, and they were about to fall into the pool.
If it really falls in, Gu Mingzhu's face and reputation naturally need not be said, such a deep pool of water, I am afraid that people who are not familiar with water will not even be able to save their lives if they fall in.
Unless someone is willing to save her, but here she is a lady who has not left the cabinet, and the maidservants and maidservants do not know how to water, who can save her?
