Chapter 296
In the midst of the hustle and bustle, March soon arrived.
On the second day of the first month of March, it is flower makeup. According to the custom of this dynasty, on this day, both men and women who are married have to hold a banquet in the house. The woman wants to expose the man's dowry, and also expose her own dowry, which is commonly known as "dowry".
The amount of dowry represents the love of the mother's family for the woman. The amount of the dowry represents whether the man values it.
Although the Gu family is married for the second time, it is married by holy decree, which is a glory that many people can't get if they want it. Originally, she still wanted to save more trouble, and the two families would finish it if they passed the matter directly, but Ling Hao resolutely refused to allow it, and the steps that should be taken must be carefully walked.
What Gu didn't expect was that on the second day of the first month of March, her small house was full of guests, and there was an endless stream of people who came to congratulate her and add makeup, most of whom were female dependents who had some friendship with her. There are also some wives whose husbands are of low rank, but they come here to tie up with Linghao.
But in any case, the fact that the makeup day can be lively is a good sign for family affairs. Ling Miao personally went out to entertain guests for her mother.
"Miss, the old county lord of the Duke of Chu has sent someone!"
"Miss, quick, the third lady of the Yong'an Eldest Princess's Mansion has arrived!"
"Miss, the guests in the flower hall are all settled!"
……
The Gu family couldn't come forward, and the housekeeper, Jin'er, and the others were all dressed up, busy running before and after. There are also those maids and daughters-in-law who have arranged to entertain guests from time to time to come over to discuss with Ling Miao, and Ling Miao has no time to separate herself, so she can only socialize with others without touching the ground.
It's just that what I didn't expect was that when she was busy, Jin'er suddenly ran over in a hurry and lowered her voice in her ear, "Miss, someone from the Guogong Mansion is here!" ”
Needless to say, this national mansion refers to the British mansion, the Gu family.
Ling Miao was beautiful, and her eyebrows furrowed.
Because of the Gu family's harmony, the Gu family has severed relations with them. Although it is said that the daughter is not in the family tree, it is a broken relationship, and it is just a verbal statement. But there are not a few people in the capital who know about this matter.
After the Gu family was given marriage, they didn't see the Gu family come to the door. Ling Miao only thought that it was clean, but she didn't expect them to come to the door today.
"Who's coming?"
Jin'er looked around and no one was paying attention, and said in a low voice, "It's the old lady and the prince, and the two cousins......"
As he spoke, he hesitated, not knowing whether to move on or not.
How smart is Ling Miao?
sneered, "And Gu Zhenzhen, right?" ”
Jin'er nodded.
Ling Miao narrowed her eyes. If Mrs. Gu came to the door, it may be because she still feels a little distressed about her daughter, and Mrs. Shizi probably saw that the Gu family had a better home, and intended to make up for the previous rift. What about Gu Zhenzhen?
Obviously, water and fire are incompatible, is this time to come to see Gu's jokes, or is it to harbor evil intentions?
What's more, she is a foreign-married daughter, if she comes as Mrs. Pingnanhou, it will be normal. But follow my mother's family......
"Let's go, come out with me!"
Anyway, when someone comes to the door, Ling Miao has to put on the posture he should have. Today is a good day, and she won't let others make her mother unhappy.
Of course, if there is really anyone who doesn't have long eyes, don't blame her for her hot hands.
Begonia Hibiscus, Qingyun and another female soldier, the four of them hugged Ling Miao and walked out. There are five people in a group, and it looks quite imposing.
At that time, Mrs. Gu and the others had already entered the Yimen and were getting out of the car.
Mrs. Liu personally supported the old lady, and her daughter Gu Minglan supported the other side. Gu Zhenzhen and Gu Mingzhu all followed, standing in the back position.
As soon as he raised his eyes, he saw Ling Miao dressed up.
Under the bright sunshine in mid-spring, Ling Miao was wearing a crimson spring shirt with a goose-yellow bandeau skirt, revealing a snow-white neck. The green silk is tied into a flying fairy bun, and a peony crown with extremely delicate workmanship is inserted on it, and a ruby the size of a chicken egg hangs down in front of the forehead, which is also carved into a small peony flower, which complements each other with the flower crown, and makes Ling Miao's face extremely beautiful, almost impossible to look at directly.
"Grandmother." walked up to Old Madam Gu and called out lightly. She had already felt a lot of curious glances at her, and she couldn't help but sneer in her heart. I'm afraid that's why the Gu family came here now, right? It's when there are the most guests, looking at her and not turning her face, it's really calculating!
"Hey......" Old Madam Gu saw Ling Miao, who looked similar to her daughter, her eyes turned red, and she hurriedly agreed.
"Seeing that my mother was so happy that I was about to cry......" Mrs. Shizi smiled at Ling Miao, "Ah Miao, you don't know, my mother has been thinking about today for a long time. It's just that the body hasn't been neat and tidy, so I can't come over earlier. ”
Her demeanor is extremely dignified, where is the meanness and bitterness when she persecuted Gu before?
said these words with a smile, the voice was not small, and it was just for outsiders to see - the sick old mother came to say hello in person, who can criticize this love for her daughter?
Ling Miao just smiled, "It's hard for my grandmother." ”
"Cousin, aunt, where?" Gu Minglan said out loud, looked at Old Madam Gu, and said earnestly to Ling Miao, "Grandmother misses her aunt every day......
"Mother is behind, grandmother, please."
Interrupting Gu Minglan's words, and not looking at her instantly flushed face, Ling Miao dodged out of the way and made a gesture of please.
Old Madam Gu saw that although she was polite, her expression was very detached, and she became more and more gloomy, "Miao girl, but, you resent me?" ”
Ling Miao was surprised, "What did Grandmother mean by this?" It's too late for me to be happy that you can come, and my mother is also happy to come. Some time ago, she was still talking about you. ”
It's just to say it to outsiders, who wouldn't say it?
You said that you love your daughter, so I said that my mother misses her mother and sees who can do it.
Gu Zhenzhen, who was standing behind Old Madam Gu, was unusual, and never spoke. But seeing that she is dressed very elegantly today, with a light yellow brocade, a lifelike orchid embroidered on her eight-panel blue skirt, and only an orchid hairpin carved from jasper on her hair, she looks more and more gentle and elegant like an orchid, and her skin is as white as snow. Compared with Gu Minglan and Gu Mingzhu beside her, she is like their sister, not her aunt.
It's just that although she kept smiling and didn't speak, there was an emotion in her extremely beautifully shaped phoenix eyes that Ling Miao couldn't see. It seemed to be laughing at the cozy attitude between her and Old Madam Gu, and it seemed to bring a faint envy.
Ling Miao had always been jealous of her, and when she saw her like this, a sense of vigilance rose in her heart.
"Let's go in and see my sister." Gu Zhenzhen finally spoke, his voice was soft, but if he listened carefully, he was still a little hoarse.
Ling Miao raised her eyebrows, "Mrs. Pingnanhou is invited." ”
She didn't call her aunt, but only called her Mrs. Pingnanhou, making it clear that she didn't want to recognize this relative. Gu Zhenzhen's eyebrows frowned slightly, and displeasure flashed on his face, but he still didn't speak. But Gu Mingzhu couldn't help it, glared at Ling Miao, and raised his voice, "Could this be your hospitality?" Don't you even recognize your own aunt? ”
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Gu Zhenzhen: "Mingzhu, stop it!" ”
As if realizing that his voice was a little stern, he stretched out his hand and put it on Gu Mingzhu's shoulder, and softened his voice, "Today is a good day for your eldest aunt, and we are here to congratulate you." ”
As he spoke, he pinched Gu Mingzhu's shoulder.
I don't know why, Gu Mingzhu, who was arrogant and domineering in the UK, really didn't dare to say any more, but just glared at Ling Miao indignantly.
Ling Miao was not afraid of her, and touched her face with a smile.
"You!" Gu Mingzhu's face suddenly swollen red, and tears were about to fall.
Ling Miao had slapped her for her bad words before, this, this action was clearly a reminder to Gu Mingzhu - if you are not afraid, you can continue to say, maybe you will have to suffer again!
"Grandmother, aunt!" She stamped her foot. It's a pity that Mrs. Gu really doesn't like this so-called granddaughter, but she didn't see it.
She didn't speak, and Mrs. Shizi naturally didn't say anything, and her lowered eyes hid a hint of mockery. The concubine's daughter, no matter how much it hurts, she still can't get on the stage!
"Alright, don't stand here, Mother is waiting inside. I also asked my grandmother to come in and rest. ”
There were more and more guests outside, so Ling Miao let people in so as not to be blocked at the door all the time.
"Cousin......" Gu Minglan took two steps behind, looked left and right, and didn't know what she was looking for. Finally, he couldn't hold back and asked Ling Miao softly: "On such a day, didn't the prince come over to operate with you?" ”
