Besides, Gu Zishu and the second son of the second uncle's family went out to visit the painting boat.
This is not one or two times, but the master wanted to talk to Gu Zhimo, but he was stopped by the second uncle and the third uncle.
In the end, the Master simply ignored him and indulged in beauty, which was not a great thing.
The eldest son of the second uncle's family and the first son of the third uncle's family looked at each other, withdrew the smile in their eyes, and continued to study hard.
To say that the second uncle took great pains to bring down Gu Zhimo's only son, and even gave up his own son. There is no way, Yin Shi protects his son very well, they can't make a bad hand, they can only draw from the bottom of the pot. Fortunately, the second young master himself likes to have fun, and he is also the son of a housekeeper.
A sneer appeared on the corner of the eldest young master's mouth, and he slowly cleaned up the paper inkstone on the table.
When his mother gave birth to him, he died in an obscure childbirth, but the grandfather's family never thought of seeking justice for his mother. Not only that, but he hastily married his mother's concubine again.
This step room is also a concubine sister, and she didn't have a good relationship with his mother before she got married, and even had some conflicts in private. After he got married, he would naturally not be taking care of him, so the eldest young master suffered a lot when he was young. Now, he can't love his current stepmother at all, and even hate it.
If it weren't for the fact that his father really loved his mother, he loved him very much since he was a child, and later took him to his side to raise him personally, he probably wouldn't have lived so much. Fortunately, Ji Shi has also restrained a lot over the years, and is no longer the same as before, relying on the birth of a baby bump to make a fortune.
However, it wasn't because of anything else that she would restrain herself. In the final analysis, it was because she accidentally ruined his design, so she was rejected by her father. Up to now, no matter how skilled her stepmother is, she still can't win back her father's heart under his intervention. And his annoying younger brother was also seduced by him and became a playboy.
Maybe he took a bad breath for his mother.
The eldest young master took away the emotions in his eyes, pretended to be inoffensive, and put the things one by one.
Next to the eldest young master, sat the fourth young master of the third uncle's family.
This fourth young master is the same age as Gu Zishu, only a month younger than Gu Zishu, and he doesn't like the ranking of four very much. Coupled with the indoctrination of his parents, he sees Gu Zishu as a thorn in the eye. Like the eldest young master, he is motivated and formed an alliance early, but it's hard to say how much trust this allies have.
After school, the fourth young master came over and invited the eldest young master to do his homework together in his yard. The strategy and theories arranged by Mr. today were relatively difficult, and he still had no idea.
The eldest young master smiled with a good temper: "Alright, I happen to be my brother and feel that I can't start."
The fourth young master turned around and led the way, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch. It's really annoying to open your mouth and shut your mouth to be your brother. But the seniority is there, and he can't say anything.
Today, the sister-in-law of Yin's family came to the door with her son, and she came suddenly without any notice in advance. Yulan was ordered by the Yin family to come over and ask Gu Zishu to accompany his cousin. After arriving here, she did not see Gu Zishu, but only saw the little servant beside him sorting out the brush and ink.
"Where's the young master?" Yulan asked.
"Young master and classmates went out. I heard that there is a poetry festival in Desheng Building today." The little servant lied without changing his face.
Yulan frowned slightly, and the young master went out to study again, but the young master of the Yin family couldn't have no one to accompany her.
It just so happened that the eldest young master and the fourth young master just went out, and they didn't leave when they saw it, watching the excitement at the door. Seeing what Yulan wanted to say, the fourth young master suddenly said, "Yulan, if that's the case, you should go back and tell my aunt first, and let the little servant find the third brother and come back, it won't take much time left or right."
Yulan thought about it too, thanked him, and hurried away. The little servant didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly trotted all the way to the painting boat to find his young master.
The Fourth Young Master and the Eldest Young Master looked at each other.
It's not that they want to hide it for the third child, it's mainly because the overall situation is the most important thing. Before the time has come, the third child's affairs have to be kept from the Yin family for the time being, otherwise if the Yin family is asked to break the third child's temperament back in advance, it will be in vain.
…
"Even Zhuxiang can find out the news, but the eldest lady doesn't know." Lan Xiang sighed, while sorting out the dried herbs.
Zhuxiang snorted triumphantly: "What do you know? I found it from Aunt Liu. I dare to make sure that no one can know this information from Aunt Liu except me!"
Aunt Liu was the escort of the third lady. When the eldest lady used the excuse to suppress the second lady, she used the knife opened by Aunt Liu. Now Aunt Liu can't get down in the mansion, which is very shameless. Aunt Liu naturally has opinions on the eldest lady, and she is willing to whisper a few words about these behind-the-scenes matters to make the eldest lady unhappy.
Some inconspicuous little people are actually very important. This principle is the same as playing holographic online games. Players feel that NPCs are all data, not real people at all, and there are not a few people who have a contemptuous or even bad attitude towards NPCs. Then they will start to be unlucky, because offending the NPC will actually end badly.
For example, NPCs will deliberately not release tasks for you, or release tasks that are impossible to complete, or even if the relationship between NPCs is close, offending one is offending a group, which is simply a disaster. What's even more frightening is that some NPCs are more careful, and will deliberately sabotage those players' missions, or pretend to accidentally injure players to death when fighting with other NPCs.
People who really know how to play will be very friendly and respectful to all NPCs. Today's Zhuxiang is like a player. She doesn't care about the bad attitude of the servants in the government, anyway, she is just a little girl next to the unloved lady, and there is really nothing to be friendly and kind. The lower the mentality, the more at ease when dealing with people.
Zhuxiang didn't care about being friendly to those who spoke badly, anyway, she wouldn't lose a piece of meat if she was scolded a few times. And her attitude is not flattering, she is really friendly, so it will not make people feel that she is trying to please others.
Zhuxiang seems to be naturally full of social skills, even if she gets along well with the most ill-tempered people in the house, even Gu Lian admires this very much.
She can't do it, she has a face that women hate to death, standing there doing nothing, she looks pitiful, as if she was bullied.
"Don't talk about the third young master, the girl's family is not ashamed to talk about men every day." Mei Xiang came in with the letter, laughed and scolded the little girls, and then presented the letter, "Miss, princess I invite you to be a guest at her house."
Gu Lian paused slightly, took the letter, and opened it to take a look.
There was nothing else in the envelope, just a delicate invitation, made of peach blossom paper, with a faint fragrance. It's hard to imagine that the unrestrained princess would use this kind of delicate paper. I'm afraid it was because of Miss Gu Lianjiao's identity, she found it on purpose.
Gu Lian guessed right, Qiao Mingyu had a headache when she wrote the invitation, and felt that the paper in her house seemed a bit... rough.
However, there is only white paper in her house. Although it is high-quality rice paper, when she thinks of the delicate and weak Gu Lian, she still feels that she is not worthy of such a delicate beauty.
As a last resort, Sudan, the maid of the palace, had to go to the warehouse to find other papers.
Sudan was also very helpless. The princess herself didn't like the things of those girls, so she threw them into the deepest warehouse to bury them. In order to dig out this piece of paper, she was almost exhausted.
Then she thought that in the future, the princess might find other things that the girls liked to give to Gu Lian. She decisively called a few little eunuchs to move out the backlog and put them in different categories, so as to save the effort next time. Find.
Especially the rouge gouache and silk satin, you have to take it out in advance and take a look, don't put it away, and the ancient books also need to be exposed to the sun to remove the tide.
"Since the young lady went to the princess' mansion with the eldest lady for a banquet more than a month ago, the princess has not sent any news. The slave servant is still a princess and forgot about this matter." Mei Xiang sighed.
It is normal for people to not remember Gu Lian as a person with golden branches and jade leaves. The rare thing is that almost two months later, she actually remembered it again.
Zhuxiang couldn't help but subconsciously inserted a sentence: "No, I heard that the princess has returned to the palace for the past two months. She has never been in the palace, and seldom leaves the palace, so naturally she will not come to see the lady. Now As soon as you leave the palace, ask the young lady to come over, you must be thinking about the young lady all the time!"
"As much as you know." Mei Xiang poked her in the head.
Zhuxiang stuck out her tongue and shrank back.
Gu Lian pinched the invitation, and looked at the big characters of the dragon flying and phoenix dance for a long time, and suddenly smiled softly.
"Is there any activity in the city tomorrow?"
"What is the lady asking about?" Zhuxiang was at a loss.
"The activities that Guixun or the general's family will participate in, or, what activities are there for the royal family." Gu Lian added, "It doesn't matter if it is tomorrow, the recent activities are also fine."
Zhuxiang frowned and thought about it carefully: "It seems... the polo matches that are held once every six months are just a few days?"
Gu Lian nodded: "I see."
No wonder the princess ran out of the palace in a hurry. The emperor's health has been getting worse and worse in recent years. In this polo match, the princess held back for a long time and wanted to join in the fun, and by the way took Gu Lian over to accompany her.
To say that this princess is too nervous, the daughters of ordinary civil servants are really not interested in polo. If it's just Cuju, it's just riding on a horse...
I hope the princess won't let her learn to ride horses on a whim. She can't explain why she, a girl raised in a deep boudoir in a civil servant's family, can ride horses, and it's very troublesome to pretend she can't.
However, Cuju competition is actually very popular in this dynasty, and even boudoir women have heard of it. Although the daughters of civil servants may not like polo, if they just go to see those handsome boys and buddies, and appreciate their winning looks, the girls are still very happy.
It's just that the weather has been a little hot recently, and it's not very good to go out and bask in the sun. Therefore, there are very few girls who go to the polo match, and most of them are the daughters of military commanders who don't care whether they get tanned or not.
Gu Lian is not afraid of the sun, naturally it doesn't matter.
She put down the invitation and said to Mei Xiang, "Send a message to the princess, and I will definitely go to the appointment tomorrow."
"Yes." Mei Xiang nodded slightly.
