Chapter 297
Gu Minglan is the daughter of the head of the Guogong Mansion, and she grew up with gold and dignity since she was a child. In terms of appearance, she can only be regarded as an upper-middle-class figure, not outstanding among the nobles in the capital, and even compared with Gu Mingzhu in the second room; In terms of talent and learning, there is Gu Zhenzhen in the front and Chu Xuanhua in the back, and Gu Minglan is definitely not outstanding between the two generations. But Gu Minglan is a very smart woman, there is no doubt about it. She knew her own shortcomings, and she couldn't compete with other boudoir girls in these two aspects, so she found another way.
She can become famous in the capital, relying on virtue and gentleness.
The Liu family has always been proud of her daughter's reputation.
It's just that in Gu's opinion, at a young age, it is a bit too much to lose his coquettishness and true temperament for this.
Perhaps realizing that her words were a little out of line, Gu Minglan's face turned slightly red, and she wanted to explain, but she didn't know how to speak, so she had to act as if nothing happened.
Not only Ling Miao, but also Begonia Hibiscus and a few people looked at Gu Minglan in surprise, thinking that this Miss Cousin was really incomprehensible?
Is this the legendary virtuous and courteous, Anshun and graceful daughter of the Gu family?
Even if it's an ordinary small family jasper, I've never seen anyone ask about their cousin's fiancΓ© when they meet!
Looking at Gu Minglan's pretty face slightly red and shy, who doesn't know what she means?
The gaze that looked at Gu Minglan at the moment was not so friendly.
Qingyun had no scruples the most, he laughed out loud, grabbed Begonia's shoulder with one hand, put his sharp and pretty chin on Begonia's shoulder, and sneered: "Begonia, have you ever heard of the Swing Yi tribe in the southwest?" β
"Nope. Sister Qingyun, why don't you tell me? I'll tell others about it in the future. Begonia blinked.
"Let me tell you, the Pengyi clan was the first of the nineteen clans in the southwest to submit to our prince. In their clan, the men are just that, they are all dark and swarthy, but they are strong. The women are all white and beautiful, and in the southwest, if anyone is lucky enough to marry a woman from the Pengyi tribe, it is a great blessing. β
"Really?" Begonia's eyes widened, "Then are they the same as us?" β
"It's pretty much the same. However, the women are more daring, and because of the small number of people, they are very cherished both in the family and in the clan. Therefore, women are bold and enthusiastic by nature, and they often choose their own sons-in-law. They were also very interesting when they chose a son-in-law, and when they took a fancy to which man, they went up to ask themselves. If a man is also interested, he can get married. β
Haitang listened to it with relish, but Gu Minglan understood what Qingyun meant, was this making fun of herself as a barbarian woman?
She was furious in her heart, but she didn't want to come forward to argue - she had lost her words and sent the handle over. Besides, the maid didn't name her, wouldn't she be humiliated by coming up?
Holding back his annoyance, he didn't wait for Ling Miao to say anything, and quickly chased after Old Madam Gu and the others inside.
"I didn't expect the big sister to be an enthusiastic person." Gu Mingzhu looked at Gu Minglan with a smile, her eyes revealing sneer, "It's just a pity that this time is true." β
Gu Minglan ignored her, and only lowered her head and walked past her, but she was unspeakably annoyed in her heart.
Gu Mingzhu turned his head to look at the slow walk inside, lacking graceful Ling Miao, he couldn't tell whether he was envious or jealous, and snorted.
The group went directly into Gu's house.
As soon as Mrs. Gu saw Gu Shi sitting quietly on the bed in a red spring dress, she first called out "my son", and then sped up her pace and stepped over.
Gu, who had already received news from Jin'er, only felt mixed feelings, and he didn't know whether to be glad that his mother's family had finally come, or to be angry at them for being so inflammatory.
"Ma'am." Jin'er reminded softly beside her.
Gu came back to his senses and stood up, "Mother." β
"Sit down!" Old Madam Gu said anxiously, "Today is a good day for you, you can't move around!" β
According to the customs of this dynasty, the bride is not allowed to move around at will, and only quietly "sits on makeup" by the bedside. Walking around is seen as a blessing to go.
"Wan, it's okay now!" Old Madam Gu walked to Gu's side and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, "Before, I was only worried that you would be helpless for the rest of your life, and you couldn't sleep day and night. Nowadays......"
"Mother, say something glad." Mrs. Shizi reminded beside her, and said to Gu with a smile, "Sister, you don't know, my mother is very happy these days. I said before that you are a blessed one, so that your mother does not have to worry and be anxious. Mother only scolded me, I don't know I feel sorry for you. β
He laughed as he spoke.
Old Madam Gu said angrily: "Isn't it that I, the mother-in-law, can't talk about you?" I was in a hurry, so I said it for a while, and I shouldn't have told your sister! β
"Yes, yes, my daughter-in-law knows that she is wrong." Liu Shi hurriedly patted his face lightly, "My sister has a good life, she should say that she is happy!" β
Their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law sang and harmonized, as if those crying threats to the Gu family had never happened before.
Gu Shi looked at them and was not half moved. But to say that I am not disappointed is false.
After all, no one wants to admit that their closest people are such repeated villains.
"Mother, please be seated."
Gu interrupted Old Madam Gu and Liu's harmony and Lele, and said softly.
After sitting down with each other, Gu Minglan and Gu Mingzhu came up to salute the Gu family again, and the Gu family asked Jin'er to take two identical purses to their sisters, and said lightly: "I didn't expect you to come over, I didn't have any preparations." You sisters will give you a reward. β
Gu Minglan thanked her in a low voice, and Gu Mingzhu also reversed her previous slackness towards the Gu family, and smiled sweetly: "Thank you aunt for rewarding us with good things, we will often come and go in the future, aunt don't dislike it." β
Gu Shi only smiled and did not answer.
Seeing that Gu Shi always seemed alienated, Old Madam Gu's heart was sour, and she said astringently: "Ah Wan still blames me?" β
"Not really." After all, she is her mother, as long as she doesn't meet someone who is related to the interests of her eldest brother, her mother still loves her. Seeing that the old lady was depressed, Gu still softened his heart. However, she has always been clear about right and wrong, and she will reply to how her family treats her, and for a while she can't say anything that is not to blame. Simply, he sat on the bed and lowered his eyes and was silent.
Gu Zhenzhen has been silent since he entered the door. She looked at Gu Shi with luxurious clothes and exquisite makeup, and she only felt that she was almost crazy with jealousy.
Since she was a child, she has been compared with the Gu family everywhere, in addition to her background is not as noble as the Gu family, Gu Zhenzhen has always believed that Gu Wan is inferior to herself. She has studied hard since she was a child, is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is the most famous talented woman in the capital. In terms of appearance, it is even more beautiful and exquisite, which makes people forget the vulgar.
Back then, how many children of famous families and even people in the clan worshiped under their pomegranate skirts? Since the age of thirteen, countless people have come to the door to ask for relatives, and they can almost step on the door of the British government.
As for Gu Wan, she has a good-looking face, vulgar and irritable, and her talent is even more mediocre, she is an out-and-out straw bag beauty.
Father even pointed to Gu Wan and said to her during a family banquet, it's a pity that Gu Wan's background, if she Gu Zhenzhen is a descendant, she will enter the palace and become a mother.
What was Gu Wan like at that time?
His face was flushed with anger, and he argued loudly with his father, and was finally punished and grounded.
Obviously, Gu Wan has fallen into the dust, become an abandoned woman, and become the laughing stock of the people in the capital. Why, can you still turn over?
If you marry for the second time, you can also become the hot Mrs. Dingbei Hou!
Gu Zhenzhen covered his heart.
is also Mrs. Hou, Pingnan Hou is now idle, who can take him seriously? The Marquis of Dingbei held the military power, the emperor's henchmen, and even the future Hou wife Gu Wan was rushed to stammer.
Gu Zhenzhen believes that if it weren't for Ling Hao, Gu Wan would have remarried ten times or eight times, and there wouldn't be so many people who came to congratulate him and add makeup!
"It's just a man." She thought.
Perhaps the unwillingness in his eyes was too strong, Gu Wan suddenly raised his head and looked coldly at Gu Zhenzhen, who was crying.
Gu Zhenzhen was taken aback, quickly restrained his expression, tried his best to suppress the disdain in his heart, and said with a forced smile: "I haven't said hello to my sister yet." That's what I'm thinking. β
Reaching back, the maid who followed her hurriedly handed her a wooden box.
Gu Zhenzhen personally sent it to Gu's face, and when he opened it, it was a Guanyin.
"My sister wishes my sister and Hou Ye Qinse and Ming, and give birth to a noble son early."
She said softly, looking at the Gu family, the eyes of the sisters met, and she showed a weird smile.
