It was the first time for Yufu to spend Shangyuan in Dongling, and he was very new to the customs in the mansion.
For example, early in the morning, there was a lot of noise in the courtyard of the West Wing. She put on her clothes and went to the window to watch. Yaolan and Yinling, who were younger, climbed up the ladder to hang lanterns.
A row of lights of various shapes has been hung in the corridor, the white ones are jade rabbits, and the orange ones are goldfish.
What Yao Lan held in her hand was a pink lotus lantern, which was flat and round, requiring two hands to hold it firmly.
She was afraid of heights, so she held the lamp with one hand and the ladder with the other, but she couldn't get up no matter what.
"You can't, let me come!"
Yinling was not afraid of anything, she stood at the bottom and jumped anxiously, wanting to hang up the lantern for Yaolan.
Yao Lan Buyi, "No, isn't it just a lamp? I must hang it up!"
Yu Fu called through the window, "Yao Lan is afraid of heights, don't let her hang the lamp. Yao Lan, come back quickly and help me find clothes. Where did you put that newly made jacket?"
"Hey, I'm here!"
Yao Lan responded, and climbed down the wooden ladder.
It turned out that she was afraid of heights, no wonder she couldn't hang up the lamp.
Yinling looked at Yinxue narrowly, the two tacitly reached out to shake Yaolan's wooden ladder.
"Hey, don't make trouble, I'm going to fall, help me!"
Aunt Li just walked in from outside the courtyard, "I didn't take good care of the young lady to clean up, but I was here to make things difficult. If Yaolan fell to the ground, what would you do with her work?"
The two hurriedly withdrew their hands, and Yinling stuck out her tongue.
Yaolan jumped down from the wooden ladder and handed the lotus lantern to Yinling, "Ms. Li, we are just joking around, don't blame them!"
After saying that, he ran to the house to find that new dress for Yu Fu.
Under a dwarf pine tree in the yard, Qi Ting, who was hanging a lamp on the tree, quietly cast a glance, wanting to see what Aunt Li would do.
Aunt Li has always been strict in disciplining her maids and servants, she will definitely not let Yinling and Yinxue go easily.
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Aunt Li walking towards the two of them and slapping her.
A trace of surprise flashed in Qi Ting's eyes, and she turned her head to look there, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, waiting for a good show.
Aunt Li raised her slap to Yinling's head—
Gently picked off a scrap of paper.
"Some lanterns fall off, remember to pat your body after you hang them, so as not to stain the new clothes that the young lady gave you."
Yinling and Yinxue responded to her with a smile, "Understood, Aunt Li."
Qi Ting narrowed her eyes in disappointment.
The west chamber turned out to be a monolith, with no flaws to be found.
Even Aunt Li, who has always been strict, took a tacit attitude towards the playfulness of these maids, and she had no chance to act.
Almost everyone in the courtyard was on guard against her, even when she ran to cry in front of her grandfather Qi An who loved her the most, Qi An refused to take her back to Yufu's room to serve her.
"If you can serve in the West Wing, you should thank the lady for letting go of the past, and you are not satisfied? The lady respects the old man in the mansion. If I go and tell her in person, she may agree. But the master is the master, and the slave is the slave. How can a slave rely on his age? The one who persecutes the master?"
Qi Anfan taught her a lesson, making her lose her patronage completely.
"Qi Ting, I asked you to hang up a lamp, why did you hang up so many of them after half a day?"
Granny Liu came from behind and looked at her displeasedly, "Look for yourself, there are some girls in Miss's room who are playing around, and they hang more than you. Since you are a rough servant girl, don't take it with me." The style of a big maid. If you don't do it well, I will definitely punish you!"
After finishing speaking, he gave her a warning look, and then went elsewhere to supervise the other maids.
…
"Miss, have you noticed that the new clothes delivered recently are different from the previous clothes?"
Wearing a newly made red brocade jacket and skirt, Yufu stood in front of the big bronze mirror and turned around involuntarily.
The sapphire blue wide eight-panel skirt is evenly folded and turned to form a circle, and the wide pipa sleeves of the red jacket flutter accordingly, fluttering like a butterfly.
Although it's a winter coat, it's not like the previous clothes that were too thick. Yufuren is short and round like a ball when worn.
Now that she is taller, with a slender figure and a slender waist, she will not look good in that kind of clothes, but the jacket and skirt can show her waist.
Lianzhu walked in from the outside, "The tailors are the best at watching people order dishes. If you send the lady's new waist size, they will know what kind of clothes to cut, which is most suitable for the lady."
She couldn't help but enviously said: "People say that people who are good-looking when they are young will definitely look crooked when they grow up. I see that our lady is one year older, and she looks even more beautiful when she grows up."
Lianbi laughed at her, "Miss has grown up, you should learn a few more hairstyles, you can't always do children's hairstyles for Miss."
Yu Fu touched the pearl hairpin on his head, "Sister Lianzhu's hair style matches her clothes very well every time. This pearl hairpin is simple and elegant, hey, where is the gemstone chain that I used to comb my hair with? "
"Miss, do you mean the gemstone chain wrapped around the bud head?"
These dressing things have always been kept by Lianzhu. She opened the drawer on the left side of the dressing table, and the place where the chain should have been kept was empty.
She was taken aback, "It's always been here, why is it gone? The sixth son must have hidden it again. The things that the young lady used when she was young have been hidden by the sixth son."
Everyone laughed when they heard this, "The little jacket that the young lady wore when she entered the mansion has not returned yet! I must go to Xiaomu tomorrow and bring back all the young lady's things."
Said Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived, Gu Xiang and Gu Yi walked in from the door, and when they heard Xiaomu's name, he knew he was talking about them.
"What can you say bad about us?"
Yu Fu turned her head and saw that the two of them were also dressed up today, wearing the same style of long-sleeved straight gown.
It's just that one is dark blue, which makes him calmer.
The other is sky blue, which is most suitable for Gu Yi's lively temperament.
Lianzhu pointed to an empty drawer, "Here! Mr. Six, did you take the jewel chain that Miss used to comb her hair with?"
Gu Yi clenched his fist to cover his mouth and coughed, "Ahem, nonsense, do you have evidence?"
Look at his guilty conscience!
Gu Xiang shook his head and sighed, "They are all betrothed, so you can't be more mature? If Yufu is a big girl, and you secretly hide her things, Yunyan will be appointed to be angry with you. Fortunately, Yufu returned—"
Gu Xiang turned to look at her, halfway through his mouth, he suddenly couldn't continue.
In his eyes, Yufu, who had always been a child, reached the height of his shoulders in the blink of an eye, and was no longer a child.
The jacket and skirt she was wearing were very bright red, and some baby fat had faded from her pink and jade-carved face, revealing her pointed chin.
She looks like a cardamom girl, and she is a beauty who will attract the eyes of countless nobles if she is brought out.
She is only thirteen years old.
I really can't imagine how beautiful she will be when she is fifteen years old.
No wonder Gu Huaijiang was so impatient, he proposed an engagement at the birthday banquet, and asked Yufu to enter the ancestral hall to worship.
Sure enough, he still had the foresight.
Shouldn't it be settled earlier, and when Yufu reaches his age, the threshold of Guhou's mansion will not be broken by suitors
"Fifth brother, what are you doing looking at me? Didn't we agree to go out to watch the lights today?"
Yu Fu smiled and turned around, "Look, I'm all dressed, we can go out now."
Gu Xiang and Gu Yi's eyes followed her, and Gu Yi swallowed unconsciously, thinking that this was her future sister-in-law, she lowered her head again.
Gu Xiang nodded hurriedly, "Yeah, let's go, and then send someone to call Big Brother!"
Originally, he didn't want to ask Gu Shubai to go out together. As the son of the Marquis Mansion, he has a lot of social affairs in his younger years.
What's more, it's good for him to be poisoned, and it's not suitable for him to go out and get tired.
But after Gu Xiang met Yu Fu, he suddenly changed his mind.
Now Yu Fu's beauty is too eye-catching, with him and Gu Yi, I'm afraid they can't protect...
Gu Shubai is meeting the generals of the Gu family army in the front hall, including Yan Huashi and Huo Shanjin.
They knew that Guhou's mansion had a lot of entertainment during the new year, and this year Gu Huaijiang had a bad year because of Gu Shubai's assassination, so they simply didn't come to bother him before, and only came to pay their respects to the old year in Shangyuan.
The left and right Gu Jiajun are all from his own family, and Gu Huaijiang will not dislike him if he comes late.
"Uncles, please drink tea. Unfortunately, my father was suddenly called into the palace by His Majesty, so I can only accompany him."
"It's okay, we just wanted to see if the major general is safe and sound."
As he was talking, he suddenly saw a young man coming in to answer the question, it was Gu Xiang and the little wood in Gu Yi's courtyard.
"Eldest Young Master, Fifth Young Master and Sixth Young Master invite you to go out of the mansion together to watch the lantern."
Gu Shubai was about to refuse, but suddenly thought of something, "Are the two of them going out to watch the lights, or are they going to take Yufu together?"
Xiao Mumu chuckled, "I'm taking Miss Yufu with me."
Little bastard, if they don't go, are they planning to take Yufu out by themselves
If anything happened, Gu Huaijiang's army sticks would definitely blow their asses open.
Gu Shubai wanted to agree, but the hall was full of lieutenant generals from the Gu family's army, how could he have the nerve to leave people behind and go out of the house by himself
Huo Shanjin raised his buttocks and stood up, "Major General, you can go, we are relieved when we see that you are fine, and it is time to leave. Lao Yan, didn't your son always say that he would repay Miss Yufu for saving his life? Let him Let's go together!"
