Chapter Ninety-Six: You Little Conscienceless
Han Liniang turned out to be pregnant?
Ling Miao touched her chin, called Qingyun over, and whispered a few words, Qingyun showed a look of surprise on her face, and then nodded.
Old Han's birthday is at the end of April, which is when the weather is hot. This time unexpectedly, a lot of people came. For example, the British government and other in-laws will not be mentioned, but all the nobles in Beijing who have some heads and faces have male guests and female relatives come to the door in person.
The third wife looked at the ladies who came one after another, excited and annoyed. After all, it is a glorious thing for so many high-ranking nobles to come to the house. Ling Yan is in the prime of life now, and there may be a lady who has a crush on her, and the family affair is promising. It's herself, who can say a few words with these Duchess Ladies and Princesses, and maybe she can also have some help with the future of her master.
It's just that she is preparing for the table according to the example of Lao Han's fiftieth birthday five years ago. What was it like then, and what is it like today? Although it is not enough to say that there is not enough table, there is nothing that can be amazing. In the eyes of others, it seems that she is a child.
In the middle of a hundred thoughts, I saw Gu smiling around among the ladies of various mansions, and I couldn't help but feel jealous - Gu is Mrs. Hou, and she should have come to Zhang Luo for this birthday banquet, but she was good and became a shopkeeper, but now she has come to show her ability!
complained secretly, but his face did not show half a point, but with a very friendly smile, he also hurriedly came to Gu's side.
As he was talking, someone came outside again, but this time it was the British princess's wife, Liu, who arrived with her daughter Gu Minglan.
Gu has always been good friends with the Liu family when she was in the boudoir, although she was a little unhappy on the British public birthday last time, but she did not blame the Liu family. After all, in the Guogong Mansion, there are in-laws on the Liu family, and Aunt Zhou is eyeing each other, and life is not easy.
"Why did my sister-in-law come?"
When her mother's family came to the door, the Gu family couldn't help but express great joy, otherwise in the eyes of outsiders, she would be a person who did not value her mother's family.
The Liu family understands her and knows that this sister-in-law actually complains about the Guogong Mansion in her heart, but what can she do? I can only do my best to show my sister-in-law a little closeness.
took Gu's hand at the moment, and said with a smile: "It's already here, and the street outside your house is full of carriages, and it's blocked at the mouth of the alley." ”
Looking around, I saw many familiar figures in the flower hall, the Duchess of Chu, the wife of the Hou Shizi of Ruyang, the lord of Lingyang County, the wife of the Zuo Xiang Qin, and even the mother of the queen's mother, Mrs. Cheng'en Gongshizi were also present, and I couldn't help but be a little surprised, and then understood.
Now these people are not coming to the Marquis of Wuding's mansion. It was because of the face of the Marquis of Dingyuan that they left this experience.
No wonder, her husband had already instructed her to be grand this birthday gift.
Sighing softly, Liu didn't know whether to be ashamed of her husband's inflammatory, or whether to say that he had a vicious eye.
"I've seen my aunt."
Gu Minglan is seventeen years old this year, her body has grown up, she wears a smoky purple flowing cloud gauze placket short undergarment, with an off-white embroidered bamboo pattern Yuehua skirt, the light color makes her whole person seem to be wrapped in a thin layer of clouds, but also her complexion is as fair as jade, her eyebrows and eyes are even more beautiful, the head of green silk is pulled into a low Lingxuan bun, there is not too much pearl and emerald in the hair, only a magnolia-shaped purple jade hairpin carved from jasper is inserted in the bun, so that there is a round bead the size of a fingernail to press the sideburns. There is luxury in the low-key, which sets off her gentle temperament to the fullest.
Even when Gu Shi saw it, he had to praise it.
"Minglan is here too? Your cousins are playing in the water pavilion in the back, why don't you go talk to them? ”
Gu Minglan smiled aside, and a hint of naughtiness appeared on her dignified face, "I was also about to talk to my cousin." ”
"Green bamboo."
Gu Shi summoned his maid and ordered, "Send Miss Watch to find Ah Miao." ”
Qingzhu responded and said with a smile: "Miss Biao, please come with me." ”
Gu Minglan blessed the body of a female in the house, and walked out with Qingzhu. Walking slowly all the way, Gu Minglan asked Qingzhu with a smile: "Who are the people who are here today?" Who's in the back? ”
"Miss Huibiao, in addition to our young lady, there are also Miss Chu and Third Miss in the Water Pavilion; The eldest lady of the Cen family, as well as the fourth and fifth ladies of the Qin family, and the third miss of the Shen family......"
Qingzhu is worthy of being the big girl tuned by the Gu family, and she introduced the people in the water pavilion clearly as she walked.
When Gu Minglan heard this, she smiled again: "With so many people, your mansion is really lively today. Don't know who the guests are outside? ”
Xu felt that it was not appropriate for him to ask the male guest so aggressively, so he hurriedly added, "My brother is also here, I don't know if I will meet his friend." ”
Qingzhu walked in the back of her, and when she heard this, she quickly raised her eyes and glanced at her, and said with a smile: "Miss Biao, this is embarrassing for the slave." The slaves and maids are all on errands in the inner courtyard today, and they do not know the guests outside. ”
"That's what I asked." Gu Minglan said softly, still with a decent smile on her face. It's just that if Qingzhu takes a closer look, it is not difficult to find that she seems to be a little disappointed when she smiles.
There have been a lot of people gathered in the water pavilion for a long time.
At this time, whether it is peach and plum or begonia, many flowers and trees have long passed the flowering period, but only the pearl plum opposite the water pavilion is in full bloom. The jade white petals, lined with emerald green leaves, lie across the gentle slope. Through a bend of living water, there is a faint fragrance accompanied by the laughter of the girls.
"Miss Cousin, please come with the slave."
Outside the water pavilion, there is another small pavilion, in which several maids in the same costume are busy cooking tea. Qingzhu led Gu Minglan down the verandah and into the water pavilion.
Ling Miao was sitting lazily talking to Sister Chu Xuanhua, and next to her was Cen Yuan, who was recovering from a serious injury.
In the end, it was injured, even if Su Ji, the holy hand of the national doctor, was there, and it was inevitable that he would suffer a little. Cen Yuan has lost a lot of weight, and the round face in the past can faintly see the goose egg face, which is less heroic than usual and a little sweeter.
"Your third sister is lively."
Coldly looking at Ling Yanhua, who was dressed in golden brilliance, delicate and moving, shuttled among the daughters of various mansions, and for a while said, "Sister Shen family, drink tea, I asked someone to fold plum blossoms with you", and for a while, "Sister of the Qin family, don't make fun of me, where can my piano skills compare with you", and for a while, he beckoned the maids to serve tea and pour water, and for a while he frowned and asked someone to change the "not very fresh dim sum" on the table.
"I don't know, I thought she was the young grandmother in this house." Cen Yuan whispered a laugh in Ling Miao's ear.
"You're talking nonsense again." Chu Xuanhua glared at her with disgust, "Be careful to be heard." ”
She didn't really look down on Ling Yan's deliberate gesture, in fact, if she looked closely, it was not difficult to find that the girls in the water pavilion, although they were laughing with Ling Yan, their eyes were very subtle to each other.
The third girl of the Chu family, Chu Fanghua, who is only eight years old this year, held her cheeks with one hand, her big bright eyes swept over Ling Yan's body, and when she saw that Ling Yan seemed to be aware of looking back at her, she beckoned to Ling Yan with a smile.
Ling Yan was in the limelight today, thinking that she had overpowered Ling Miao, who had been shrinking in the corner, and was in a good mood. Seeing that Chu Fanghua was showing favor to herself, she was even more proud. However, Chu Fanghua was still young and was not looked at by Ling Yan, so she only nodded at Chu Fanghua reservedly, and then turned back to greet the other ladies.
It was at this time that Gu Minglan walked into the water pavilion.
She is known as a virtuous girl in Beijing, and as soon as she walked in, there were familiar girls who smiled and said hello. Gu Minglan is a very thoughtful person, and after talking to people one by one, she came to Ling Miao.
Because of Gu Minglan's actions in the British Mansion last time, Ling Miao knew that this Gu Minglan was by no means as gentle and harmless as she appeared outside, and she was hostile to herself.
"Cousin Minglan."
Feeling Chu Xuanhua touch her feet, Ling Miao reluctantly stood up, "You're here." ”
Gu Minglan could naturally feel her alienation, but she didn't take it seriously, only the corners of her mouth were raised, and there was a little light smile on her face, which made her whole person become lively and vivid, "I have long wanted to come and see you." The last time I saw you was on my grandfather's birthday. You little conscienceless, you don't even go back to see it, so that your grandmother is worried day and night. ”
When these words came out, Chu Xuanhua and Cen Yuan both sank. Ling Miao raised her eyebrows and smiled.
