Chapter 178 Chapter 178

There was a lot of excitement in the house, and the girls in the backyard stretched their necks and wanted to lean forward, but no one dared to make a mistake, because the Lingchuan servant who came with the old lady had cleaned up the scary people in a short period of time. Submissive post.

"Why hold me? You don't even think about who will decide the future of this house!" It was none other than the maid who was approached by Gu Wei and became pregnant.

This servant girl will take care of her well in recent days, she has a fair face, but now she has gained a lot of weight, and because of her snow-white skin, she has been named Xiangxue in Gu Wei's place.

Now, Xiangxue is no longer that hard-working servant girl, with her pointed and bulging belly, she threatens the group of women who are looking at her to get out of the way.

If it was put on a group of maids, they might have already stepped aside, but this group of women got a letter from the old lady, saying that no matter what method they used, they would lock up this girl.

"The old lady sent a letter, saying that if you stay in this room safely, you can get an aunt when the young lady enters the door in the future, and take care of the youngest son in the future. If you leave this door today..."

The mother-in-law looked at the pregnant Xiangxue coldly, "Don't blame the Gu family for sending the child back to the family to be raised by the family in disregard of sympathy."

Xiangxue heard her face turn green and white, and she sat on the ground covering her belly and wailed, "Oh, this new lady hasn't entered the house yet, so I won't give my eldest son a chance to live."

But let her howl, the women were not moved. On the contrary, Gu Mingluan, who was not far away, heard it, and dropped the pearl hairpin in his dressing box in disgust.

"Is there any end to this day?" She was furious, "I don't know what day it is, do I? How many ladies from aristocratic families want to come here together. If outsiders saw it, how would they feel about Gu Fu!"

The people below knelt outside tremblingly, not daring to breathe.

In fact, Gu Mingluan was not really angry about this matter, after all, whether Gu Wei married ten or eight aunts, or married Miss Qianjin, had nothing to do with her.

She was really angry that she had placed the evening primrose on the window sill for almost half a month, but Mr. Ghost Face never came over.

Gu Mingluan angrily dropped the jewelry box.

"Why is sister Mingluan so angry?"

Walking outside the house was a charming and charming girl, dressed in a peach red double-breasted jacket and a snow-white rabbit fur waistcoat, with a double moon bun on her head and two pearl flowers made of fine pearls on her hairpin.

It's not such an outrageous and luxurious dress, but it's delicate and cute.

At first glance, the one who came here seemed to be younger than Gu Mingluan, but in fact he was a few years older than Gu Aman.

This is the third young lady from the Gu family——Gu Zhen.

She stretched her head at the door and smiled at Gu Mingluan, "Sister Mingluan, can sister come in?"

Although she was still asking questions, someone had already jumped in with her skirt in hand. She looked around Gu Mingluan's room bouncing around, "No matter how many times you come to sister Mingluan's place, I think you This boudoir is simply large and beautiful."

"Sister Mingluan has been to the imperial palace, this room is probably not much different from the imperial palace."

As a descendant of Gu Mingluan, he usually doesn't even look down on his direct sisters, let alone those who crawled out of the stomachs of these aunts.

In her eyes, apart from being a young lady, she was no different from the group of maids kneeling on the ground outside.

"Sister Gu Zhen really wants to know that my house is different from the palace, so why don't you just go to the palace and have a look."

She looked scary in a slow manner, and packed his jewelry at her feet. Anything in this box was beyond Gu Zhen's imagination.

It is difficult for a concubine to come out, especially for the Gu family.

The Zhou family loves her children very much, and treats the children born of other aunts as if they are worn-out shoes, not to mention the cost of food and clothing, the name alone can tell the difference.

The descendants of the concubines are all double characters, and they, the concubines, are just like playing around, and they have given a name casually.

But Gu Zhen didn't seem to feel the hostility in Gu Mingluan's words at all, "I'm afraid I won't be able to go to a place like the imperial palace for the rest of my life. Can sister Mingluan tell me what the imperial palace looks like?"

Gu Zhen said, "Grandmother said let me follow you well today, so as not to embarrass the Gu family by not knowing the rules."

Gu Zhen exaggeratedly clutched her heart, "It's fine if grandma doesn't say anything. Her mentioning it made me feel so heartbroken. I've been beating wildly since last night. I wanted to say that I couldn't come out today, but I'm really curious." What is the difference between Shangjing and Lingchuan?"

Gu Zhen stood behind Gu Mingluan at some point, and looked at Gu Mingluan obediently without any airs of a sister, with a cute face, "Sister Mingluan won't laugh at me."

Gu Mingluan turned his head away in disgust, "Since it was ordered by my grandmother, I will naturally take you with me, but you have to understand that Shangjing is different from Lingchuan, why don't you do something inappropriate to embarrass me !"

Gu Zhen nodded quickly, "I knew Sister Mingluan was the best."

As Gu Zhen spoke, she skillfully picked up the jewelry for Gu Mingluan. Seeing Gu Zhen's petty way of picking up jewelry, Gu Mingluan directly threw the few pieces of simple jewelry that Gu Zhen took out in front of her.

"I don't know how you chose such ugly pieces. These were originally meant to be thrown away. See if you like them so much and wear them yourself."

Gu Zhen counted the few pieces of jewelry that fell in front of her, "It's too expensive, it's your sister, how can I accept so many things from you?"

"No, no, I can't."

The more Gu Zhen behaves like this, the more Gu Mingluan looks down on her, "I'll just take it for you, so that it won't be too shabby to follow me for a while. Those who know are Miss Gu's family, but those who don't know, I think it's a maid from some other family."

"It seems to be the same." Gu Zhen scratched her head in frustration, "Then I will wear it for today, and when the banquet is over, I will send it to sister Mingluan."

Gu Mingluan was already speechless, thinking about returning something touched by others, she felt uncomfortable all over.

"If you don't want it, just throw it away. If you still want to give me the things you have worn, do you think that any dirty and smelly things can come here?"

Gu Zhen quickly waved her hands to explain, but Gu Mingluan didn't want to listen anymore, anyway, the jewelry had already been given away, and it happened that she still had a few unwanted clothes, so she simply took them out and threw them to Gu Zhen.

Although Gu Mingluan didn't like these clothes, whether it's workmanship or material, it was Zhou who found a top embroiderer and spent a lot of money to find the clothes, just to make Gu Mingluan happy.

There were a few of them, even in the capital, which were very rare, but because Gu Mingluan didn't like the color, they threw them on Gu Zhen.

Gu Zhen was like a miser who had been smothered by treasure, her mouth never closed, "Give this to me too? Oh my god, am I dreaming?"

"Sister Mingluan, are you sure you really don't want it?"

"You won't regret it, will you?"

"Wooooow, I really like it."

"After today, I will clean it, iron it and return it to you."

Gu Mingluan drove Gu Zhen away like sending a beggar away, "You don't need to come over later, I'll see you at the banquet in half an hour."

Gu Zhen walked out holding the things in her hands as if in a dream, and she was so petite that she was almost so crushed by these things that she couldn't see her head and face.

The yard she is temporarily settling in now is the one where Gu Ahman caught fire before. Because of their arrival, the yard has been repainted. Although there are still traces that cannot be concealed in some places, it is much better than Lingchuan.

When entering the courtyard, Gu Zhen saw that the door of the side courtyard was closed, and a young maid was cooking beauty prescriptions under the window sill.

"Is the second sister here?"

The little maid hurriedly asked An to answer.

"It's not a big deal, but sister Mingluan gave me a lot of clothes. I want to ask my second sister if she wants to pick a few from me. After all, I have to see guests later."

Hearing Gu Zhen's voice, the door of the closed room in the courtyard was pushed open. Inside the door, the second young lady from the Gu family looked like she was wearing a gorgeous canary, a bright red dress, an emerald green cloak, and orange embroidered shoes. They all picked onion-colored hydrangea balls.

She has very slender hanging eyebrows, and she is charming and charming when looking at people, with a small cherry mouth, moist and delicate.

Compared with the other young ladies, the second young lady is obviously taller than these younger sisters, but her bones are also slender.

Especially the slender waist, which is like a bee and a butterfly. Because of the thin waist, his bust looks very plump, and the hip line is also more plump and upright. He is really a stunner in the world.

Miss Er's superb figure is not born like this, but her biological mother is a famous Yangzhou skinny horse. Although she followed Master Gu and became a good teacher, she taught her daughter better than she did back then. More than anything.

Gu Rou leaned against the door, and glanced at Gu Zhen lightly, "Why is your autumn wind blowing into other people's courtyards?"

Gu Rou spoke in Wu Nong's soft words, and her words were whiny and angry, "If I were as shameless as you, I would have thrown myself into the river in front of the door."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Gu Zhen to speak, she slammed the door shut.

Gu Zhen, who was ridiculed for no reason, could only rub her fingers in embarrassment, and went back to the house with these things in her arms.

But as soon as the door was closed, Gu Zhen looked at her simple house with bare walls.

When Gu Rou's aunt was a skinny horse, she didn't know how much gold and silver she had saved, so she naturally looked down on this little thing.

Gu Mingluan has the Zhou family as his backer, so he naturally treats these things like a shoestring, but she is different, her mother is just like the Xiangxue who was making noise in the courtyard next door, she is just an ordinary slave.

Gu Zhen slowly looked at the things brought in, and slowly showed an innocent smile, "It was given to me, so I naturally want to use it well."

Mrs. Zhou was waiting for guests at the front door. Today, for some reason, there were a lot of family members invited. She had never experienced these things before, and she was very busy after a while.

"Don't stand here stupidly, hurry up and ask Miss to come and help me." Zhou urged the maidservant to invite Gu Mingluan.

Mrs. Gu had always looked down on Zhou Shi, but now she saw that he was in a hurry because of such a trivial matter, and there was displeasure on her brows.

However, there are indeed a lot of people from this family today, she said to the mother beside her, "Ask someone, why are there so many people here today?"

Seeing that Nanny led the order to go down, Mrs. Gu didn't want to see Mrs. Zhou go on like this, and embarrass Gu's family, "Go and call all the young ladies over, just take advantage of this occasion to study hard, and then you should be married as a woman." courtesy."

After a while, the nanny who went out to inquire about the news came back, and saw her softly whispering in Mrs. Gu's ear for a while, and then saw Mrs. Gu's brows frowned and relaxed.

"You have found out, is it really because of this?"

The nanny squinted her eyes with a smile, and said, "Don't worry, old lady, this old slave has already found out. It turns out that these ladies think that our Gu's house is hosting a banquet for the young ladies who are waiting to get married. There are hundreds of daughters in the family. Jiaqiu, it can be seen that other people know that the old lady is good at teaching, so they excitedly want to come and ask for marriage."

"loquacious!"

Mrs. Gu talked about Nanny on her lips, but she became more and more happy when she heard it in her heart.

"Where do they know me?"

"You don't need to say these nice things. The second girl and the third girl have been staying in Lingchuan all the time, and they are also concubines. I'm afraid it's not the purpose of these people."

Mrs. Gu said firmly, "I think they came here for the fourth and fifth girls."

It was rare to see the old lady so happy, and the nanny was also happy, "Miss Fifth gave birth to a country, no wonder they like it."

Mrs. Gu looked at Gu Mingluan from a distance, who had attracted the attention of countless wives and ladies from aristocratic families, but shook her head.

"Ms. Mingluan is a good girl." But she was too close to the queen mother before, and she was too involved with the prince.

"I'm afraid it's not the purpose of this group of people."

Mammy was puzzled, "Then who else?"

She came to Beijing for too short a time, and the one she saw the most was Gu Mingluan, if it wasn't for this rare beauty in the world.

But she couldn't think of it, there were others.

But Mrs. Gu laughed in a spirited manner, "Who says there is no one."

It's not that there are four girls in her family.

Nanny is an old man in the mansion who followed all the way from Lingchuan. In her impression, the fourth young lady, Gu Aman, has always been quiet and quiet, with no sense of presence.

Her appearance and talent are not outstanding, so that Mrs. Gu said that this group of people came for her, which always made the nanny think that the old lady was in love with the house, so she felt that this group of Shangjing families would take a fancy to Miss Fourth.

"If you don't believe me, just wait."

Mrs. Gu is sure, "My Manman is the real pearl."

Zhou's face was almost frozen with laughter, and he almost couldn't remember that this was the first person who asked where Gu Aman was.

Today, it was obviously for Gu Weixiang to see about his marriage, so it was nothing more than this group of people came to inquire about the lady in the house, but it was Gu Aman who actually inquired.

Gu Mingluan, her family's flowery direct daughter, was standing beside her. Could it be that this group of people were so blind that they couldn't see.

Zhou was so angry, and because of the identity of the other party, he insisted on joking with the other party out of face.

"My fourth girl, Habitual Ai, likes to be lazy. You go to the garden first, and she will come out in a while."

"But how did I hear that the fourth girl in the family moved out?"

Someone asked, "Will she come today? You don't know, my two sons and daughters are arguing every day to see her, and people who usually don't want to go out, quarreled with me before dawn today."

"Mother, mother, I want her to be my sister-in-law."

"No!" The boy looked at his younger sister angrily, "It's agreed, I'll marry you."

The girl was unhappy, and said in a childish voice, "You are too young, let your brother go, so that we can take her away now."

The boy next to him didn't agree, so he quarreled with his sister, but he was no match for his sister, and in the end he burst into tears because "the daughter-in-law was snatched away".

Mrs. Zhou looked at the two children who were no taller than their legs in embarrassment, blushing from the argument and not knowing what to do.

But he heard a laugh from the side door, "Could it be that you are going to marry me crying?"

The person who spoke was like a peach blossom, dressed in a red dress the color of a crabapple, with a layer of ermine fur around his neck, he was just like a crabapple smiling in the spring breeze, coming gracefully like a goddess from a fairyland, with graceful hair between his brows Peerless.

Those burning eyes looked at the child with a smile as gentle as water, and gently touched his heart, "Grow up quickly, little man."

With tears in his eyes, the child watched in astonishment the person who looked like a peach blossom walking in front of him, and kowtowed to Mrs. Gu in full view.

"Gu Ahman pays homage to grandma..."
