Chapter 19: 'One Standout' and 'Six Palaces'

Mrs. Wu Anhou was not happy in her heart, but she concealed it well at this time, and she did not show it on her face.

When the girls heard this, they felt that Mrs. Wu Anhou was willing to bother to look at their flower arrangements, which meant that they were very satisfied with them, so they all smiled.

Zhou said: "In this way, you will show your skills and let us take a look." ”

Several girls answered yes in unison, and then sat back in their places and prepared to show the two of them the flowers that had been arranged, Gu Ying felt that her flowers were a little dissatisfied, and finally hurriedly tinkered.

Zhou and Mrs. Wu Anhou sat down on a desk on the side, and a maidservant brought two cups of tea and some food.

Gu Yi was eager to try, and just as he was about to step forward, Zhou's gaze swept over, and then said: "Since you want to see the flowers, you will come one by one, and see what you can do, if you get a compliment from Mrs. Wu'anhou, I will reward you when I turn around." ”

Speaking of this, Zhou said: "The young and the old are orderly, let's start with the second girl." ”

Gu Yi's originally somewhat happy face faded, but she quickly raised a proper smile again, looking still gentle and polite, she smiled: "Then let the second sister come first, the second sister's flower arrangement is the best, it is famous in this imperial city, Mrs. Wu'anhou has to take a good look." ”

This is what it means to put a high hat on Gu Xiang.

There is a saying that how high the expectation is, how big the disappointment is, at this time Gu Yi put a high hat on Gu Xiang, as long as Gu Xiang behaved the slightest inappropriately, it would make Mrs. Wu'anhou dislike.

Gu Xiang wasn't really stupid like this, she didn't even know that Gu Yi was digging a pit for her like this, so she said lightly: "The third sister has promoted me, my skills are similar to those of several sisters, I don't deserve to be famous, the third sister said so, where will the person who is good at this way be placed?" ”

Gu Ying's face was not good-looking, and her tone was a little yin and yang: "Yes, third sister, where is she famous?" I think she doesn't care about it on weekdays, even I am not as good, you actually said that she is famous in the imperial city, don't you see the wrong eye? ”

Gu Ying was so unhappy in her heart, and she couldn't hide it, her face was ugly at this time, and her cuffs were clenched tightly.

Gu Xiang was wearing this early this morning, she felt that something was wrong, where did Gu Xiang get such good clothes, and then Zhou gave her the peony, and now said that she would show it first, obviously she liked her, and wanted to push her and let her be Mrs. Shizi.

To say that although this Gu Xiang is a concubine, but in the end, she is the one who calls Zhou's mother, Zhou's no longer thinks about her, but pushes the matter to Gu Xiang!

Gu Yi scolded Gu Ying for being a fool in her heart, and the smile on her face was a little unbearable, but at this point, she could only say: "I think I remembered it wrongly, but the second sister's flower arrangement is really very good." ”

Gu Xiang glanced at her coldly: "The third sister has to remember it next time, this time I just said that I did a good job in flower arrangement, but it was a trivial matter, if I framed others without evidence, and made others unable to justify, and hurt others, it would be a big mistake." ”

The implication is that Gu Yi opened her mouth and talked nonsense, she didn't accumulate morality, she was not sincere and fair, if a woman with such a temperament was to be managed by someone as a little daughter-in-law, but it would definitely be impossible to be an eldest daughter-in-law.

Gu Yi's face changed, and she was about to debate a few words with her to justify herself, but the Zhou family on the side didn't give her this opportunity: "Okay, hurry up and prepare, Mrs. Wu'anhou and I will wait." ”

Gu Yi immediately took a breath in his throat, unable to spit it out or swallow.

However, Zhou had already opened her mouth, and she couldn't say anything more, so she had to grit her teeth and endure it.

Forget it, no matter how well Gu Xiang behaves, she won't be able to be the wife of the prince at that time, and let her be arrogant for a while.

Gu Xiang turned his head and walked back to the table, and then sent the flower arrangement she had made, and the blooming thing she used for the flower arrangement was a gilt vase, on which the dragon and phoenix were painted with auspiciousness, full of luxury.

The flower arrangement is the main flower of a peony that blooms just right, and the rest of the flowers and plants of various colors are configured on the side, surrounded by a hundred flowers, and the peony is outstanding, which is unspeakably expensive.

Gu Xiang put the flower arrangement on the table in front of Zhou and Mrs. Wu'anhou, then took two steps back, and bowed slightly: "Auntie, Mrs. Wu'anhou, Ah Xiang is polite, this flower is called 'The most peony is the color of the country, and the flowers are shy when the flowers bloom'." ”

"Peony is the king of flowers, it is to be surrendered by a hundred flowers, it is a foil, it is a standout, it is scorching, it is glamorous, and it deserves its luxury."

Mrs. Wu Anhou nodded slightly: "Not bad." ”

Mrs. Wu'anhou is a person who pays attention to status and status, and Peony is the king of flowers, since she is the king, then the flowers will naturally become a foil, and she will be overshadowed in front of the king of flowers.

Gu Xiang's flower arrangement is well matched, which can highlight the nobility and status of the peony.

Zhou also nodded with satisfaction: "Ah Xiang is indeed good, she used to take care of her mother from time to time, and she often served in front of her grandmother, she is an extremely filial girl." ”

"And the temperament should also be strong, I really think that the girl is still stronger, so that she will not dare to return it when others bully."

Mrs. Wu'anhou saw the clothes Gu Xiang was wearing from the moment she entered the door, and she probably understood what Zhou meant, and when she heard her say this, she felt a little satisfied: "It's a good child, if it's the eldest daughter-in-law, you can take care of the little ones in the family." ”

Zhou smiled: "That's exactly the truth. ”

Gu Xiang was a lot more determined when he heard this, and he saluted again, and brought back the flower arrangement.

Gu Yi is the second to come up, her flower arrangement is a pastel white porcelain vase painted with a spring trip, the vase has a round belly, much shorter than Gu Xiang's bottle, but it is also elegant and exquisite.

The main flower she used is peony, peony is known as the queen of flowers, she saw that Gu Xiang peony is outstanding, but she is looking for another path, this flower is mainly peony, and there are a few flowers of various colors that bloom just right to echo each other, and then with flowers and plants, it is also very beautiful.

Gu Yi bowed slightly, and then looked at Mrs. Wu'anhou gently: "Auntie, Mrs. Wu'anhou, Ayi's flower name is 'Six Palaces'." ”

"Rokunomiya?" Mrs. Wu Anhou was slightly surprised, and then raised her eyes to look at her, "This is interesting, why is it called the Sixth Palace?" ”

Gu Yi returned the salute with a smile: "Mrs. Hui's words, peony is the queen of flowers, that is, the queen, there are other concubines in the palace, peony is the most expensive, but all the flowers take care of each other, so that the flowers are blooming and the branches are luxuriant." ”

Gu Yi's 'six palaces' should be a reflection of the relationship between the main room and the wife and concubine, what she means is that if she is the main room, she will definitely get along with the concubine room, so that she can spread out the branches and leaves for her in-law's family and reproduce children and grandchildren.

Compared with Gu Xiang's Kao, who is unique and submissive, she is virtuous and generous, and she is more IKEA and IKEA.
