The maid Chunhe came to Gu Zhen's side.
"Miss, my wife let you go."
Gu Zhen choked for breath, and her palms began to sweat, "Sister Chunhe, what is your wife calling me for?"
Chunhe pursed her lips and smiled, "The lady of the Hou's mansion was talking to Mrs. Haixibo, and she happened to mention you. Young lady, follow your slave over there quickly, don't miss the opportunity."
Gu Zhen took a deep breath, "Chunhe, please lead the way."
Chunhe nodded with a smile and walked ahead.
Gu Zhen followed her to the Great Flower Hall.
Seeing this, Gu Yue snorted secretly. Tong Gu Shan muttered: "Big sister is very concerned about this marriage."
Gu Shan whispered, "Isn't this a very normal thing?"
After a pause, Gu Shan reminded Gu Yue again, "Third sister, you have to be careful of your aunt. She, she seems to be planning something."
Gu Yue pulled her face, "It doesn't matter what she thinks, I won't marry into Xie's family even if I die."
Gu Shan looked at Gu Yue with strange eyes. When they were in the northwest, Gu Yue and Xie Xian had a private relationship.
Now, she has changed her previous attitude and even said that she will not marry into Xie's family even if she dies.
Gu Shan blinked her eyes, pondered for a while, and then understood.
Gu Yue has seen the wealth and honor of the capital city, and after meeting the real sons of the aristocratic family, he naturally looks down on the cousins of the Xie family.
So what if Xie Xian looks suave and suave, how can he compare to the young master of a meritorious family.
That is the real rich and noble.
Gu Shan didn't intend to expose Gu Yue, but reminded: "In short, the third sister should be careful, don't let the eldest aunt find a chance."
"Don't worry, I won't take advantage of others. The cousins of the Xie family are here. Fourth sister, you deal with it. I will talk to the sisters of the Hou family."
Gu Yue left in a hurry, not wanting to meet the cousins of the Xie family.
Xie Yuan came to Gu Shan, "Sister Shan, why did Sister Yue leave when she saw me coming? Could it be that she doesn't welcome me?"
"Cousin Yuan misunderstood. The third sister has to greet other guests, and she can't get away. If you need anything, you might as well tell me."
Xie Ping, who was standing next to Xie Yuan, said, "Sister Shan, can you introduce us to the girl from the Hou Mansion?"
"This… "
Gu Shan hesitated.
Xie Yuan answered, "Sister Shan, I won't make things difficult for you. We dare not make too much of the girls from the Hou's mansion. You can introduce us to the concubine girls from the Hou's mansion, okay?"
Gu Shan is still hesitating.
Xie Yuan was not discouraged, and continued to encourage, "Without sister Shan's introduction, on this occasion, we didn't even know anyone, let alone find someone to talk to.
In the future, if someone asks us, which Xungui girl do we know? I have no face to say. I also ask Sister Shan to be accommodating, so that we don't come here in vain. "
Gu Shan was not convinced.
"Two sisters, please follow me. I will introduce you to the sisters of the Hou Mansion."
"Thank you, Sister Shan. Sister Shan, you are so kind."
Gu Shan pursed her lips and smiled, leading the girls from the Xie family and introducing them to the girls from the Hou Mansion.
As soon as Gu Yue escaped, she saw Gu Shan leading the cousins from the Xie family to find her.
She stomped her feet angrily, the fourth younger sister was against her.
Just at this moment, Gu Mei, Gu Qi, and Gu Jiu led the girls from Zhu Guogong's mansion, Luhou's mansion, Daihou's mansion, and Haixibo's mansion out to visit the garden.
Everyone was not afraid of the cold, so they put on their cloaks and went out.
Seeing this, Gu Yue hurried to catch up, holding Gu Jiu's arm, "Second Sister, I'll be with you."
Gu Jiu looked at her sideways and raised her eyebrows slightly.
Gu Yue blinked, "Second Sister, how are you?"
She even acted like a baby.
Seeing this, Gu Qi smiled and said, "Since sister Yue is not afraid of the cold, then come with us."
"Thank you sister Qi."
Gu Jiu smiled, "Can the third sister let go of my arm? There is a person hanging on her body, so tired."
Gu Yue smiled shyly, "Second sister is always so funny when she talks."
Gu Jiu secretly rolled her eyes, and Gu Yue started acting again.
She doesn't care either.
As long as Gu Yue doesn't offend her.
A group of people came to the garden.
In winter, the garden is really nothing to see.
The plum blossoms haven't bloomed yet, only a few buds can be seen.
In the bamboo forest, the scenery is not bad, but the light is slightly dark.
Gu Mei said: "When the plum blossoms bloom, let's hold a plum blossom feast together."
The third girl Wei from Zhu Guogong's mansion nodded again and again, "Sister Mei is a good idea, I like it."
Miss Wei Qi said with a smile: "Why don't we get together and make an appointment to go to the White Horse Temple to see plum blossoms and have a plum blossom banquet."
"Sure!" Pei Man, the third girl of the Luhou Mansion, looked excited.
"Then it's settled."
Everyone meets at the Plum Blossom Banquet at the White Horse Temple.
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "I'll join in too. Would my sisters be willing?"
Gu Mei took Gu Jiu's hand, "Sister Xiao Jiu is willing to join, so of course we are willing."
Gu Yue also raised her hand, "I'll make a share too, and my fourth younger sister will also get a share."
Gu Mei smiled and said, "Sister Yue, don't worry about this matter. After a few days, I will send someone to make a statistics. At that time, everyone will report their names."
This matter is settled, everyone is very happy.
The girl in Daihou's Mansion was named Han Qian, and she walked to Gu Mei's side calmly.
She raised her smiling face and asked jokingly, "Sister Mei, when can I call you sister-in-law instead?"
Gu Mei's cheeks flushed red.
Everyone laughed in good faith.
Only Pei Man didn't smile.
I heard that Luhou's Mansion also wanted to marry Heping Nanhou's Mansion, and it was Gu Mei who was looking for it.
But the old Hou Ye and the old lady didn't agree.
One is the position of the Luhou Mansion, which is somewhat subtle.
Second, if Gu Mei married into Luhou's mansion, she could only be the second young mistress, not the eldest young mistress. Because Dalang Pei was already married.
Gu Mei is the eldest daughter cultivated by the Hou Mansion, and she is destined to be the young mistress of the family.
Therefore, the Luhou Mansion is out.
Soon, Gu Mei will be engaged to Han Dalang, the young master of the Daihou Mansion.
This is the first time Gu Jiu heard about it, she frowned and said with a smile: "I want to congratulate Sister Mei."
Gu Mei said angrily: "Sister Xiaojiu, you also come to make fun of me. You can't talk nonsense about things that haven't been written yet."
Han Qian said: "But my eldest brother only recognizes sister Mei. He doesn't want any other girls."
Everyone burst into laughter again.
Gu Mei stomped her feet angrily, pinched Han Qian's cheek, and joked: "You damn girl, you know how to laugh at me. When you say kiss, I will also make fun of you like this."
Han Qian pursed her lips and smiled, "When I talk about kissing, I should change my name to Sister Mei and call her sister-in-law. At that time, I ask sister-in-law to be merciful."
Gu Mei's cheeks were bright red, very touching.
Everyone laughed again, joking with each other.
Gu Yue watched from the side, envious.
It would be great if she was born in the Hou Mansion. She can also chat and laugh freely with these honored girls. It won't be like it is now, not being able to blend in with them.
Gu Jiu was completely unaffected, talking and laughing with everyone. Seems to be born to be a part of this group.
As long as Gu Jiu is willing, she can make everyone feel comfortable.
After chatting for a while, everyone thought in their hearts, Gu Jiu is really good, generous, caring and comfortable.
It is a pleasure to make friends with such a person.
Unknowingly, these honorable girls began to accept Gu Jiu and took the initiative to talk to her.
Seeing this, Gu Yue was not convinced.
With a cold snort to himself, he was about to compete with Gu Jiu.
She didn't believe that she would lose to Gu Jiu in the world.
Back in the northwest, Gu Jiu was a fart.
Gu Yue cheered herself up, imitating Gu Jiu, and took the initiative to join everyone's chat.
After chatting for a few words, Pei Man frowned first.
Obviously, Pei Man doesn't like Gu Yue.
Gu Yue, who doesn't know what's going on, gives people a very utilitarian feeling. People feel that her words, her smile, and her expression are not sincere.
It was as if every word she said had a purpose.
Teenage girls are very sensitive, they are not thirties and forties, weathered wives.
They were very disgusted with Gu Yue's approaching with a purpose, even though they knew clearly in their hearts that this situation was inevitable.
However, to hate is to hate.
After that, the two sisters of the Wei family also took the initiative to distance themselves from Gu Yue, not participating in Gu Yue's topic.
The two sisters exchanged a glance.
The two sisters, Gu Jiu and Gu Yue, why are they so different.
Gu Jiu's words made people feel comfortable and appropriate. Everyone was willing to communicate with Gu Jiu.
When Gu Yue spoke, there was a philistine in his bones, a snobbish eye for exalting the high and trampling the low.
These girls from Xungui's family are well-informed, even if Gu Yue tries to hide it, it's hard to escape their eyes.
Because they have seen too many people like Gu Yue since they were young.
Gu Yue was so excited that she could add words to every topic.
It's not that difficult to communicate with the girls from Xungui's family.
Gu Yue glanced at Gu Jiu proudly. Gu Yue was very satisfied to be able to crush Gu Jiu (self-thinking).
Gu Qi couldn't stand it anymore, coughed lightly, "There is a pavilion in front, let's sit and talk in front. It's very cold here with the wind blowing."
"Listen to sister Qi."
Everyone walked towards the gazebo, and the conversation came to an end for a while.
Gu Yue was a few steps behind and walked side by side with Gu Jiu.
"Second sister, you are not in good health, and the weather is so cold, why don't you go back first. I have my sister here with me, so you don't have to worry."
Gu Jiu looked at Gu Yue with a half-smile, "Third sister has a heart. I will go back when it's time to go back. Third sister should also take care of her health and don't catch a cold."
In order to look good, Gu Yue didn't wear a cotton coat underneath. Her cloak was not too thick, and when the wind blew, it felt like her cheeks were turning blue.
On the other hand, Gu Jiu wrapped himself up tightly.
Except for the face being a little cold from the wind, the whole body is warm, so there is no need to worry about catching cold.
Everyone was walking, and at the corner ahead, Gu Teng led several young masters who came to the house as guests and appeared in front of everyone.
Gu Yue was surprised, "Sixth Brother, why are you here?"
Gu Teng smiled faintly, "I'll take everyone around. Are the sisters going to the gazebo? I'll ask my servants to surround the gazebo to block the wind."
"Thank you brother six."
Gu Yue was elated, and was very proud of having a brother like Gu Cheng.
Han Dalang was in the crowd, he saw Gu Mei at a glance, and stared at Gu Mei in a daze.
Gu Mei was embarrassed by his look, she hurriedly lowered her head, her ears were slightly red.
Han Qian pursed her lips and smiled, "Brother, what are you looking at?"
Everyone snickered.
Han Dalang squeezed his nose, embarrassed, "It's nothing. Sister, keep warm, don't catch a cold."
Han Qian smiled and said, "Brother is worried about me, or sister Mei."
puff!
Someone couldn't hold back and laughed.
Han Dalang said solemnly, "I'm worried about both of you."
"My brother is so cunning."
Han Dalang bared his teeth. Is this his own sister? She only cares about making trouble.
Han Qian made a face at him.
Among the crowd, there was a very handsome man. Sword eyebrows and star eyes, deep facial features, those eyes seem to hide a lot of thoughts.
Such a pair of eyes immediately attracted Gu Yue's attention.
Gu Yue's heart was beating wildly, her heart was in a mess.
Who is that man
Really good looking.
Why are those eyes so sad
She really wanted to soothe the sadness between his brows.
Gu Yue wanted to ask Gu Cheng, but she was afraid that the man would look down on her and think she was not reserved enough.
While she was hesitating, Miss Zhao Liu called out, "Second Brother, you mustn't drink too much today."
"Sister, don't worry, I'm not greedy."
Gu Yue felt her heart was about to jump out of her throat.
Miss Zhao Liu called that man the second elder brother. Could it be that he is the young master of Haixibo Mansion, Zhao Erlang
Because it is possible for Gu Zhen to marry into the Haixibo Mansion, Gu Yue has also paid attention to the situation in the Haixibo Mansion.
She knew that Hai Xibo had three sons, and the eldest son was married. The second son's marriage has not yet been decided. The one who went on a blind date with Gu Zhen was Zhao Silang, a concubine.
It turned out that he was Zhao Erlang.
Gu Yue hid behind the crowd, staring at Zhao Erlang bewilderedly.
How could such a good person have such a terrible reputation.
Was someone trying to tarnish his reputation
Is someone hurting him
Thinking about it this way, Gu Yue couldn't help but feel aggrieved for Zhao Erlang, even wronged and sad for him.
There was an impulse in her, she wanted to help him.
Just when Gu Yue was thinking wildly, Gu Teng had already led the people away from the side road.
Gu Yue couldn't see anyone, only Zhao Erlang's back was left in her eyes, so bleak.
Gu Yue's heart ached.
It was the first time in her life that she experienced this feeling.
Gu Yue knew that she was finished. She was poisoned by Zhao Erlang.
As soon as Gu Yue changed from her previous active enthusiasm, she bit her lip, said nothing, and fell into a rare silence.
Many people cast caring or curious glances at Gu Yue.
Gu Yue, who was still chirping to express herself just now, suddenly fell silent.
The maids brought tea.
Gu Jiu put the teacup in front of Gu Yue, "Third Sister, are you alright?"
Gu Yue came back to her senses, glanced at the crowd, and seeing everyone looking at her, she shook her head hurriedly, "I'm fine. It's just that the wind blows just now, and I feel a little dizzy."
Gu Mei became worried, "Sister Yue, I think you don't look very well either, why don't you go back to your room to rest. After all, it's too cold outside."
The winter in Beijing is getting colder every day, and it may snow soon.
Gu Yue shook her head, "Thank you sister Mei for your concern, I'm fine. I'll just drink some hot tea."
After finishing speaking, Gu Yue picked up the teacup and took two sips.
After drinking the hot tea, Gu Yue really felt much better.
Seeing that her face looked better, everyone felt relieved.
Everyone chatted all over the world.
Gu Yue was anxious in her heart, she was thinking about how to inquire about Zhao Erlang's situation from Miss Zhao Liu quietly.
After thinking about it, there seems to be no good way.
She is a girl, and everyone would suspect that she inquired about a strange man for no reason.
what can we do about it
She really wanted to know everything about Zhao Erlang.
Gu Jiu noticed that Gu Yue had secretly observed Miss Zhao Liu several times.
Gu Jiu was very puzzled.
Before coming to the pavilion, Gu Yue did not show the slightest interest in Miss Zhao Liu at all.
When chatting in the garden at that time, Gu Yue's full attention was on Zhu Guogong's mansion, Luhou's mansion, and Daihou's mansion, these three girls.
To Miss Zhao Liu from Haixibo Mansion, they were just casual acquaintances, and they didn't even say a few words.
This time, Gu Yue pays attention to Miss Zhao Liu again and again, which is really weird.
For a moment, Gu Jiu didn't understand the key point.
Gu Yue finally found a chance to talk to Miss Zhao Liu.
Seeing that Miss Zhao Liu's tea was gone, Gu Yue took the initiative to lift the teapot and said, "I'll add some water."
Miss Zhao Liu smiled at Gu Yue and said, "How dare you bother elder sister Yue."
Gu Yue smiled sweetly, showing the most beautiful smile, "Sister Zhao, don't be polite to me. When I saw Sister Zhao for the first time today, I felt close. It's just that I'm stupid and don't know how to speak. Don't despise me."
Miss Zhao Liu pursed her lips and smiled, "Sister Yue was joking. If Sister Yue is stupid, wouldn't I be a gourd with a saw-mouthed mouth?"
