Wanfu, the Reborn Empress

Chapter 704 A Better Girl
Not long after the eldest brother left, Gu Yanxi waited for his mother with a smiling face in the boudoir.

Seeing that the maids following her mother were holding all kinds of clothing and jewelry in their hands, Gu Yanxi knew that her mother had put all her energy into preparing her to perform well on the old matriarch's birthday this time.

Thinking of this, the smile on Gu Yanxi's face forced a little bit, and before his mother could speak, he stood up and interrupted: "Mother, do you know that brother is back home?"

When Lin heard the news, she really showed a stunned expression at first, but soon squinted her eyes and stared at Gu Yanxi, stretched out her hand and gently poked the eccentric daughter in front of her, with a doting tone in her tone, He said: "Gu's mansion is your elder brother's home. He can come back whenever he wants. As a mother, I can't control him too much. After all, he has grown up and is able to take care of himself. There is no need to let me Worrying about him. It's you, who just mentioned your elder brother at this time, Jiaojiao, are you planning to drive me away as your mother?"

Seeing that her mother saw through her thoughts at a glance, Gu Yanxi quickly showed a flattering expression, hugged her mother's arm and said coquettishly: "Mother, how could you say such a thing? It made my daughter feel very sad after hearing it. Mother, You really misunderstood me, I just thought that my eldest brother has been very busy recently, and he didn’t even have time to go back to the house to greet him and have a meal. Now that he finally came back, I just want you mother and son to talk more, get together After getting together, the words just now appeared; I didn’t expect my concern and consideration to fall into your eyes, mother, but it turned out to be to drive you away? Mother, you really misunderstood your daughter.”

"Is it really a misunderstanding?" Lin looked suspiciously at her own daughter, who was a little ghost.

Gu Yanxi didn't dare to shake her head at this time, but she nodded her head in a hurry, and said, "Really. Mom, you can just come to your daughter's Furong Courtyard, why do you need to bring so many things? Hurry up Let me take a look, what have you brought me?"

Gu Yanxi stretched his neck guiltily and looked towards the trays in the hands of the maids, while he was reading, he sighed in his heart: "Tsk tsk tsk, mother, didn't you move all our family's property out, and you brought such a thing with you? What exquisite jewelry and clothes come to me. Come and see, the ruby ​​on this Jinlaisi Ruby Buyao is actually so big, I am afraid that even the empress in the palace may not be able to use such a good color; and This jasper-ribbed flower double-closed long hairpin and the cloud-footed pearl tendril hairpin are all rare top-quality jewelry, mother, are these things all given to my daughter?"

Looking at the pro-daughter with shining eyes, Lin knew that the child liked these, so he took her hand and walked to those jewelry, picked up a silver-plated gold-plated gem-encrusted tourmaline, dotted emerald flower hairpins, and decorated it on Gu Yanxi's temple. For a while, looking at the beautiful and moving biological daughter, while feeling proud, he said proudly: "You are mother's biological daughter, not to mention everything that belongs to mother, even everything in this Gu mansion has yours. For your sake, the birthday banquet of the old matriarch of Jingyanghou Mansion is so important, so I will dress you up for your mother; besides, my daughter was born so beautiful, and with just a little bit of embellishment, she is already a beautiful woman. I have exerted so much energy on you, and when it comes to the birthday banquet, won't you be amazed and unforgettable?"

Seeing her mother's enthusiastic expression, Gu Yanxi knew that her mother was really serious about her marriage this time; she couldn't help but let out a wailing in her heart: Feng Yichen, you have to come back quickly, otherwise, she will really be killed. The mother packed up and married off.

Although she thought so in her heart, Gu Yanxi didn't dare to show it on the face; I saw that she pretended to be happy and picked out the jewelry brought by her mother, and at the same time tested her mother's tone: "Mother, since you are doing this now If you value my marriage so much, then I want to ask, is there a wishful gentleman in your heart?"

Hearing Gu Yanxi's question, Lin immediately gave her a resentful look, and said, "Actually, in my mother's heart, your cousin is the No.1 choice for my mother's best son-in-law."

I haven't heard my mother mention my cousin for a long time, but when she mentions it suddenly at this moment, Gu Yanxi suddenly feels a little guilty, and doesn't even have the thought of picking things up.

She sat back on the round stool at one side, stretched out her legs and gently lifted the ground under her feet, pouted and said, "Mother, why did you suddenly mention my cousin again? I told you a long time ago However, there is only a brother-sister relationship between me and my cousin, and there is no love between men and women; do you know that it is because you adults are making love stories on the side that my cousin misunderstands the relationship between me and him? Feelings made me not know how to face my cousin."

Seeing that Gu Yanxi was obviously unhappy, Lin was also quite helpless, sat opposite her and said: "Of course I know that you don't have that kind of thought for your cousin, so after knowing your heart clearly, I didn't mention it in front of your aunt. This matter. Wei Niang mentioned it just now, and it was just a pity. Wei Niang couldn't figure it out. What's wrong with your cousin that it made you unmoved? From Wei Niang's point of view, your cousin is He really likes you. You see, he has never forgotten your birthday every year over the years, and he will find a way to send you gifts every time. Also, your temper has been spoiled by us. Your cousin is ignorant in front of him and always bullies him, but he never puts a smile on his face and never takes it seriously. You, you are still young, you really don’t know what a good boy you rejected , seeing you like this, I really don't know what kind of man can attract your attention."

Listening to her mother talking about her cousin, Gu Yanxi also lowered her head, feeling a little sore in her heart. Of course she knew that in this world, apart from her parents, her cousin was the best person to her; Things can't be done by force. If she really followed her cousin awkwardly, wouldn't she have hurt her cousin in the end?

Gu Yanxi sighed softly, and told his mother the most sincere thoughts in his heart, "Mother, my cousin is very important to me, even in my heart, he is almost like a real brother; if you let me I went up and down the mountain of swords and seas of fire for him, and I would never frown, but only feelings, I have no way to respond to him, and I can't force myself to follow him. Because I know that the feelings that are forced to get are not real feelings, nor are they Complete feelings; my cousin is the most kind-hearted and honest person in the world, he deserves better girls to accompany him through this life."
