Chapter 93 (1/2)
The next day back in Beijing.
Early in the morning, Gu Jiu was called out of bed by green plum.
”Girl, it's time to get up. I'm going to the Marquis's house today. I can't afford to delay. ”
Gu Jiu is sleepy and sleepy, and doesn't wake up.
Maybe it's because of the change of environment, some people recognize the bed. Gu Jiu didn't fall asleep until midnight last night.
She rubbed her eyes, not quite awake. Let green plum and green bamboo wait on her to dress.
Until a handful of cold water sprinkled his face, Gu Jiu was completely sober up.
She blinked. The water is so cold.
Wash your face with cold water, and the whole person will be energetic in an instant.
Wash and dress up.
After breakfast, I came to the second gate.
Everyone is dressed up very happily today.
Gu Yue directly wore a full body of red, coupled with her own bright and beautiful appearance, the crowd on the number of her most eye-catching, all of a sudden caught the eye of all people.
Seeing all the people looking at him, Gu Yue couldn't stop his pride.
She must have been the one who made a brilliant trip to the Marquis house today.
Gu Shan, Gu Jiu, all stand aside.
Gu Jun, the sixth girl, followed his eldest wife, Zhang, to the second gate.
Gu Jun smiles sweetly, ”I've met all my sisters. The sisters are so well dressed today. ”
Gu Jiu finds that when Gu Jun laughs, there are dimples on both sides of her cheek, which makes her very cute.
”Say hello to my great aunt. The sixth sister is also very beautiful today. ”
Gu Jun smiles and is in high spirits.
Mrs. Zhang asked, ”three girls, where is your mother?”
Gu Yue slightly bowed himself and said, ”mother is coming soon. Please wait for a moment.”
Mrs. Zhang said with a smile, ”three girls, you are rich today.”
That's true.
If you don't say what Gu Yue wears, just say that the set of emerald jewelry on her head is very valuable. It's worth at least a thousand taels.
Xie is really willing to put down the capital, unexpectedly prepared such valuable headgear for Gu Yue.
Gu Yue pursed his lips with a smile, ”the first time I go to Hou's house, I naturally want to dress up to show respect.”
The eldest wife, Zhang, looked at Gu Yue with a smile. ”You look good and rich enough. But after all, you are still a girl's family, dressed so openly that you have compared several girls in Hou's residence. Three girls, you are trying to steal the limelight from the girls in the marquis. ”
Gu Yue was stunned, and his heart was flustered. Some are at a loss.
Mrs. Zhang continued: ”it's four girls who are well dressed. It is neither publicized nor disrespectful. It should be able to leave a good impression on the old lady of the marquis. ”
Gu Yue suddenly looked at Gu Shan.
Gu Shan is a peach red, with only a few simple jewelry on her head.
It looks refreshing.
Gu Yue gnaws his teeth. Can't he ask her to go back and change?
I got up early this morning and began to wash and dress up.
Finally, she was dressed up, but her aunt said that she dressed too much and would steal the show of the Houfu girls.
This makes Gu Yue worried and unwilling.
Today's dress, is her most satisfied, she is really not willing to change.
Mrs. Zhang reminds Gu Yue, ”three girls, if you want to change, you still have time. Otherwise, it will be late when we arrive at the Hou's residence. ”
Gu Yue tangled and struggled.
At this time, Xie arrived.
”I didn't expect my sister-in-law to come earlier than me.”
Zhang's smile, ”sister-in-law finally came. Now that everyone is here, let's go. ”
With that, Zhang took the lead in getting on the carriage.
Although there is only one wall between Gu's house and Hou's house next door, a corner door is opened in the middle to facilitate the two families to communicate.
However, when the two families officially visited, they both took the main entrance.
Xie Shi also said to Gu Yue: ”all get on the bus.”
There is no shortage of carriages in Gufu, which is convenient for everyone.
Gu Jiu, with her servants, boarded the carriage.
Gu Yue stood still.
Xie looked at her strangely, ”Yue Er, what are you still standing for. Get on the wagon
Gu Yue's face was tangled and he murmured with Xie in a low voice, ”mother, the eldest aunt said just now that her daughter is too much publicity, for fear that she will rob the girls of Hou's house.”
Xie frowned, ”is that what your aunt really said?”
Gu Yue nodded, ”mother, do you want to go back to change.”
Xie snorted coldly, ”for what? If you don't listen to your aunt's nonsense, she will not be kind. Listen to me. Just dress up. When you get to the Houfu, you should perform well. All in all, I have me. ”
Gu Yue reluctantly accepted Xie's words, followed Xie to get on the carriage and go to the next Houfu.
On the carriage, green plum and Gu Jiu murmured, ”I think there is some truth in what the eldest lady said. The three girls dressed up too much, so expensive jewelry, you can't ignore it. The girls in Hou's house will not dress like this in their own homeGu Jiu chuckled softly and said, ”the third sister obviously wants to leave a good impression on the old lady of Hou's house, so she is worried about her gains and losses and is influenced by her great aunt. However, what the eldest aunt said is not necessarily true. ”
The two families are next to each other. When they leave Gu's house, they arrive at Hou's house.
The gatekeeper of Hou's house was waiting early. Seeing the carriage of Gu's house arrived, he opened the side door in a hurry and welcomed the people of Gu's house in.
Mr. Gu, with his children, went to see the old Marquis first.
Xie's and Zhang's, together with the girls, went to the inner courtyard to see the old lady Wei.
The women are leading the way.
”The two ladies and the girls are here at last. The old lady got up early this morning and talked about the two ladies. The old lady also said, ”for such a long time, I think I'm a big lady.”
As she led the way, she talked amusingly.
The eldest lady, Zhang Shi, laughed, ”I always remember the old lady. Some time ago, I was too busy to clean up the courtyard of the second room and didn't come to greet the old lady. I'll have to accompany the old lady
The old lady said with a smile, ”the eldest lady is really a man of heart. No wonder the old lady is always talking about the big lady.”
The eldest wife, Zhang, had a hearty smile, with joy in her eyebrows and corners of her eyes.
Xie's silent walk, while paying attention to Zhang's talking with her mother-in-law, while looking at the Hou's house.
Indeed, it is a place of wealth and honor. It seems that it is more dignified than Gu's.
Listening to the old lady's strong words, the old lady has been talking about Zhang's family. Xie's heart says that she is envious and envious. It must be false.
It's just that there's no envy.
She went out with Mr. Gu for more than ten years. There is no chance to change the heart of the old lady, which is no way.
When they arrived at the Songhe hall, the woman said, ”ladies and gentlemen, you go in. I will send them here. ”
Zhang's a look, peony will be a purse to the mother-in-law's hand.
The old lady beamed with joy and said a string of auspicious words, then bowed down to leave.
The servant girl of Hou's mansion is clever. She first enters the door and reports, ”the old lady, the eldest lady, the second wife and all the girls in the next house are coming to greet you.”
When the old lady Wei heard this, she immediately laughed, ”please come in quickly.”
”My daughter-in-law heard that when the second room next door came back yesterday, the old man in the house next door made a scene. The banquet was nearly lifted. ”
The old lady Wei gave a cold hum and whispered, ”the old man in the next house is more and more ridiculous. Don't get involved in our Marquis house. ”
The elder lady and the younger Wei bowed slightly, ”the old lady said very well that the daughter-in-law had ordered the porter to guard the door tightly, and the servants of the two families were not allowed to run around.”
The old lady Wei Shi repeatedly nodded, ”this is a good way to deal with it.”
Wang, the second wife of Hou's residence, said: ”the second room of the next house will not go again when he comes back this time. Several girls in the second room have not been married yet
The old lady Wei said, ”let's have a look first.”
At this time, the servant girl picked up the curtain and welcomed Zhang, Xie and Gu's girls in.
Gu Jiu follows in Xie's back, slightly droops the head, looks at the situation in the room quietly.
There are many people sitting in the room.
Sitting at the top of the table, she has silver hair and is a very loving old lady. She must be the old lady of Hou's house, Wei.
At the bottom of the table were three rich ladies and a row of girls.
