Chapter 17: Lady Wu Anhou

The next day, the sky was beautiful, the sky was clear and clear, the morning dew on the flowers and plants in the yard had not dispersed, and the purple and red flowers poked their heads out in the flower bed and bloomed one after another.

Zhou led people to hurriedly walk through the garden, and soon went out of the second gate, and walked to the gate of the Changning Marquis Mansion, at this time a carriage stopped, and Zhou saw this, and hurriedly led people forward.

A maid came down from the carriage, and the maidservant took a small stool and put it on the ground, and then a noble lady wearing a begonia red cardigan dress and a long-sleeved gown embroidered with twigs and flowers was helped out of the carriage by the maid.

Her figure is tall, her face is a little round, her hair is combed in a high bun, and her hair is swayed with a treasured gold hairpin and a golden lotus with a gold tassel.

Zhou's background is ordinary, although she has been the wife of a first-class marquis over the years, she has always been cautious, for fear of being laughed at by others for taking a wrong step, and she does not dare to be too ostentatious and suppress the limelight of others, so her dress has always been dignified, virtuous and gentle.

At this time, she was wearing a cyan waist-length dress, a large sleeved gown embroidered with orchids in the same cyan, and a lotus-inlaid tourmaline hairpin on her head, which looked dignified and gentle, but in terms of momentum, it was indeed a little inferior.

"Mrs. Wu'anhou, welcome!" Zhou stepped forward with the hem of his skirt.

Mrs. Wu'anhou glanced at her lightly, nodded solemnly, and said, "Mrs. Changninghou." ”

Mrs. Wu'anhou was born in a noble family, and she always looked down on the ordinary Zhou family in her early years, and felt that the Zhou family, a mountain village girl, would one day be on an equal footing with these noble daughters of these families, she was not happy in her heart, and she also felt that the Zhou family was a small family and could not be on the stage.

I had taken a fancy to Gu You before, and I was willing to settle on this family business, but I also took a fancy to Gu You, who was raised by Gu's old lady Jiang herself, and she was not bad in terms of status, appearance or reputation, and she was reluctant to be in-laws with the Zhou family.

It's just that she didn't expect that Gu You, the only thing she fancied, was about to come to an end, and she actually did such a thing as running away from marriage, which caused the Wu'an Hou Mansion to retreat, so she had to retreat and choose another bride.

and her rebel, who was clamoring to cancel the marriage and wait for Gu You to come back.

I'm really going to be angry.

Zhou knew that she was unhappy in her heart, but in the end, it was the Changning Marquis Mansion who was unreasonable, so she endured it, and she said: "Mrs. Wu'anhou, please come in quickly, please." ”

With that, Zhou raised his hand and invited her to enter the door.

A Mrs. Hou came to greet her in person, and personally invited her to enter the door, which can be regarded as giving enough face, Mrs. Hou of Wu'an was holding back her anger in her heart, but she also knew that it was not really the time to turn her face and make a fuss now, so she nodded and entered the gate of the Changning Marquis Mansion with the Zhou family.

On the other side, in the Autumn Water Garden, four girls were sitting on their tables, lined up, and on their tables, there were still a lot of flowers cut this morning.

Today, Mrs. Wu'anhou is coming, and the house has arranged for her to watch the talent shows of several girls, and the simplest and most intuitive is flower arrangement.

In the current era, there is no 'woman is not talented' saying, on the contrary, talented women are sought after by the world, there is a "beauty spectrum" said: beauty, one look, two rhyme, three skills, four things, five residences, six marquis, seven ornaments, eight help, nine food, ten fun.

If you talk about appearance, it should be the head of the mantis, the apricot lips, the rhino teeth, the distant mountain eyebrows, the hibiscus face, and then the cloud sideburns and the willow waist step lotus.

However, when it comes to skills, we need to first talk about poetry and lyrics, music, chess, painting, embroidery, dancing, etc., supplemented by flower raising, sencha, incense, flower arrangement, and so on.

Like the previous ones, if there is a girl who can have a skill that she has learned exquisitely, she can make people look high, and she can add weight to it in the future.

Therefore, from the age of five or six, the girls of this powerful family would ask their husbands to teach them to read and write and these skills, and when they were ten years old, they would concentrate on the study of the ones they were best at.

However, elegant things such as raising flowers, sencha, burning incense, and arranging flowers, although they don't need to be studied carefully, they all need to be known.

So at this time, it is an extremely fair competition to compare flower arrangement.

At this time, except for Gu Yun, who was just here to make up the numbers, the other three were bothering to fiddle with the flowers on the table, thinking about how to put together the most brilliant one, which impressed Mrs. Wu'anhou.

However, Gu Xiang was a little absent-minded, and she stared at the main flower peony in her hand for a long time.

"Someone, even if they get this peony, but they don't know if there is a peony, the peony is the king of flowers, but not everyone can hold it."

As soon as they came over in the morning, Zhou came once, saying that he wanted them to arrange flowers, and after a while, he asked Mrs. Wu'anhou to see their flowers, and brought a few main flowers, namely peonies, peonies, camellias, and a red begonia flower, which had just been cut from the flower room.

In order to compete for this main flower, the three girls first competed in the last game, and finally Zhou opened his mouth, gave the peony to Gu Xiang, gave the peony to Gu Yi, gave the camellia to Gu Ying, and the last Gu Yun who made up the number got a begonia flower.

The king of peony flowers, the Zhou family named Gu Xiang!

Gu Yi didn't dare to hold a grudge against the Zhou family, but secretly hated Gu Xiang, thinking that she didn't know what Gu Xiang had done to let the Zhou family stand on her side.

Looking at Gu Xiang's peony dress, the peony pattern on the satin was so gorgeous and luxurious, it really made her feel sullen, where did Gu Xiang have such good clothes, it was clearly given to her by Zhou, and this style was obviously quite similar to the dress Gu You wore before.

But so what......

Gu Yi secretly laughed in her heart, that is, what if she Gu Xiang has the help of Mrs. Hou of the Zhou family, it will only be her Gu Yi who can be Mrs. Hou of Wu'an today!

Gu Xiang glanced back at her and sneered: "Third sister, don't say that others are unworthy if you can't get it, this peony, I am no longer worthy, and I am more worthy than you." ”

Gu Ying puffed angrily: "Okay, if you don't want it, any peony peony, just exchange it with me." ”

She only got a camellia!

I'm really angry!

The female gentleman above raised her head slightly and coughed softly: "Calm down and nourish your nature, don't make noise." ”

Gu Ying was angry, and then turned his head and asked Gu Yun on the side: "You give me some of your flowers on it, I don't think mine is enough." ”

Gu Yun was originally a little unhappy, but after thinking about it, she was a figure today, and Gu Ying had a single personality and a small heart, if she didn't have to give it, she would definitely hate her in the future.

She picked and chose among the flowers, this one didn't want to give that and she didn't want to give it, and tears fell from the back.
