Chapter 210: Mrs. Zheng's Passion (First Update)
γ62 Chinese Networkγ., to provide you with wonderful reading.
The mansion that the Zheng family in Xingyang bought in Chang'an is in Wuyangfang, and the royal mansion of Chang'an is located in that city, and the mansions of King Qi and King Qin are all in this alley, and even the mansion of King Ye of today's saint is also here.
Gu Mingzhu's carriage entered the Wuyangfang Hutong, looking at the green vines hanging down from the green tile gray wall, and the tall blue-leaved plane tree at the head of the wall, her eyes were as indifferent as water.
It is worthy of a family, I don't know how much money was spent to buy this house, and how much effort was taken to clean up such a picture, and in just a few dozen days, there has been a scene of a century-old family.
The most important thing for the family is the heritage and accumulation, the Cui, Zheng, Lu, and Wang families headed by the Guanlong family all have hundreds of years of inheritance, and the outstanding children of the clan are as bright as the stars, so as to prosper so far.
In contrast, Chang'an Guifu is just a temporary power, like a flash in the pan, even if it is a noble minister, it is just a poor man in the eyes of the family, and it cannot be compared at all.
Therefore, the family has its own rules, and it is not allowed to intermarry with Pingshu, that is, the princess of the royal family, and it is not allowed to marry the sons of the family, let alone the people in the Chang'an Guifu.
Gu Mingzhu looked at the heavy vermilion lacquer gate of Zheng Mansion, her eyes slowly became cold, and there was an indescribable astringency in her heart, they were not all the way with her after all.
It's just that when I arrived at the gate of Zheng's mansion, the maid had already greeted her diligently: "Mrs. Gu is fine, the lady told the maid to wait here, please follow the maid into the house." β
Gu Mingzhu looked at it a little strangely, and didn't see many guests coming, didn't he want to hold a banquet to entertain the Langjun ladies of Chang'an Guifu?
The maid saw Gu Mingzhu's doubts, and covered her mouth with a smile: "The lady said that today's banquet is to invite a few familiar and close Langjun ladies to come to the house to sit, tomorrow is the Chinese Valentine's Day, and a big banquet was set up by the Qujiang Pond, and the Langjun ladies of Chang'an were invited to beg for lotus lanterns together." β
Gu Mingzhu was taken aback, Zheng Yuan only invited a few Langjun ladies to come today, Cui Lin and Cui Yi naturally would not be less, but I don't know why they invited themselves to come, obviously they just met, and they were not old friends, why did they treat themselves so closely.
Just thinking about it, the maid was already smiling slightly: "Please let the lady enter the house with the maid, Cui Jialangjun and Cui Xiaoniang are already in the mansion." β
Could it be that only Cui Lin, Cui Yi and Cui Ning, and she was invited, I don't know what Zheng Yuan is for.
Gu Mingzhu had no choice but to nod and take Abi into the Zheng Mansion with the maidservant.
Although it is a newly purchased mansion, the furnishings and scenery in the mansion are not the slightest bit new, with small bridges and rockeries stacked, green trees and pavilions, and it looks more like a quaint family courtyard.
Gu Mingzhu came in with the maid all the way, and the more she walked inside, the more she was amazed in her heart, such a scene not only shows that the Zheng family is exquisite, but I am afraid that Zheng Yuan, the famous eldest daughter of the Zheng family, is also worthy of her reputation, so she can have such an arrangement in a very short time.
But the place where the maidservant led her was not a hall, but went towards the back garden of the house, through the clusters of flowers, and over a few flower ponds, and stopped at the brook that flowed through in the shade of a blooming acacia tree.
"Mrs. Gu is here, come and sit here." Zheng Yuan, who was sitting in the shade of the tree, saw Gu Mingzhu from a distance, greeted her happily, and looked at her with a smile crooked eyebrows.
Cui Ning, who was sitting with her, also turned his head to look at Gu Mingzhu with wide eyes, but his black and white eyes did not have the enthusiasm of Zheng Yuan, but there was a hint of hidden vigilance.
Sitting on the edge of their couch were Cui Lin and Cui Yi, and they also looked over when they heard Zheng Yuan's words.
Cui Yi, who was dressed in a navy blue woven silver moire round-necked robe, immediately laughed when he saw Gu Mingzhu, and beckoned to Gu Mingzhu: "It can be regarded as waiting for you to come, otherwise I will have no one to help me taste and taste this Lanling drunk." β
Cui Lin, who was sitting next to him, was wearing a jade-colored long-sleeved robe, which made him plump and handsome, like an immortal.
He also looked at Gu Mingzhu, who had no look on his face, his eyes were deep and dark, as if he had hidden a lot of emotions in it.
Zheng Yuan enthusiastically asked the maid to invite Gu Mingzhu over, and pointed to an empty couch on the other side with a smile: "I have already prepared a couch mat, and I am afraid that the eldest lady will not come." β
Gu Mingzhu smiled slightly, sat down on the couch, but her heart was a little colder, if Zheng Yuan had made it clear that she had only invited a few of them, Gu Mingzhu would not come, she didn't want to have too much contact with the family, but Zheng Yuan didn't.
She glanced at the edge of her mat, there was still an empty mat, could anyone still be coming?
It's just that before she could think about it more, Zheng Yuan had already smiled and said to her: "Since the last time I saw the eldest lady in the house, I felt that I was very close at first sight, so I recklessly invited the eldest lady to come to the mansion for a small gathering." β
She smiled like a flower, and looked at Gu Mingzhu apologetically: "The eldest lady won't blame me, right?" It's all my own here, and I have no ill will. β
She said it so calmly, as if she already knew the suspicion and mustard in Gu Mingzhu's heart, and she made it clear without concealing it, but it made people feel bad.
Gu Mingzhu smiled faintly: "Mrs. Zheng has a good intention, I will take it seriously." β
Zheng Yuan will talk about this, if Gu Mingzhu reveals anything else, I am afraid that in the eyes of others, I don't know what to do, I have a small belly, not to mention that today's banquet is also here, and I can't leave for a while, so sit down and see the beauty of the eldest lady of the Zheng family.
She sat down on the couch in a good manner, and took the wine cup offered by the maidservant, and the amber elixir in the wine cup swayed slightly, and a mellow aroma of wine came to her nose.
"It's a good wine, indeed." Gu Mingzhu simply put down all his thoughts, smelled the wine, and said with a smile: "Although I am not good at drinking, I have smelled a lot, even the Jian Nanchun given by the palace is not as fragrant as this wine, and I feel smoky when I smell it." β
Her words made Cui Yi's face shine even more, and when she rose, she slapped the case: "You are really a bosom friend, you can smell the benefits of this wine just by smelling it, hurry, take a sip, then you can really know it." β
Seeing his impatient look, Zheng Yuan couldn't help but cover his mouth with a fan and laughed: "Qilangjun is still the same, I remember when I was a child, I went to live in the house, you just quietly stole the good wine that Shi Bo hid and ate it, and when I was drunk, I had to let me taste it too, or Linlang protected me, and let people pour you sobering soup and send you to rest, so I was willing to give up." β
As she spoke, she quietly looked at Cui Lin, who was silent, her smile was like an acacia flower blooming on her head, and her cheeks were red with a slight flush, but they were full of indescribable softness.
Cui Yi scratched his head, a little embarrassed: "I was messing around at a young age, and the fifth brother was afraid that I would be punished by my grandfather, so I won't mess around now......"
The more he spoke, the quieter his voice became, he smiled uncomfortably, and he didn't dare to persuade Gu Mingzhu anymore, so he had to pick up the wine cup and drink it all: "It's me not, this one is a gift for Yuanniang." β
Cui Lin on the side frowned and didn't speak, but his eyes inadvertently swept over Gu Mingzhu who was sitting on the opposite table.
But Gu Mingzhu in his eyes was indifferent, he didn't look at him, nor did he look at Zheng Yuan, just looked at the wine in the wine cup, and his eyes moved with the swaying wine syrup.
