pampering wife

Chapter 41

Gu Ronghua held Qingmei's hand and walked to the table, He Suiyu stood up first and said, "Sister Qingmei." She has always been on good terms with Gu Ronghua, and now seeing the two sisters holding hands and getting close, she naturally has to show enthusiasm attitude.

Different from Gu Ronghua who is bright and elegant, He Suiyu looks gentle and pleasant. Although his body is slender, he is very energetic, like a standing green bamboo.Qingmei had a good impression of her, so she called "Sister", with a smile on her face, but secretly amused in her heart——

Gu Ronghua's attitude towards her has always been indifferent, but at today's banquet, he still held her hand and did not let go.Qingmei admired Gu Ronghua's ability to act intimacy against her will in front of others, so she followed suit.

Gu Ronghua introduced several girls here one by one, and Wu Yujian also abandoned the picture and looked over. He was obviously very surprised when he saw Qingmei, and his face was also a little happy.Without waiting for Gu Ronghua's introduction, Wu Yujian greeted first: "Qingmei!"

Qingmei hadn't seen Wu Yujian for a long time, and she was really happy to see her now, so she naturally called "Sister Wu" sweetly.

Wu Yujian's grandfather used to be Jing Zhaoyin, and his father was a third-rank Guozi Jijiu and a doctor of Guozixue. He was also considered a famous Confucianist in this dynasty.Wu Yujian was educated by her family when she was young, she is famous for her talents, and she has never been arrogant because of her talents. Although her status may not be top-notch, she is quite convincing.Seeing that Qingmei and her are acquainted, everyone seems to be quite friendly, so they inevitably have a slightly different view of Qingmei.

As for Chu Hongxiu, who was staring at Qingmei just now, she was just perfunctory when Gu Ronghua introduced it, which made Qingmei a little surprised——since she doesn't like Gu Ronghua, why did she come to this poetry meeting again?
As for the sisters Shen Yuemei and Shen Yueqing, the pair of sisters are both lively and pleasant, and their age is similar to Qingmei, so they can be considered friendly when they meet.

Miss Wen, who made Qingmei curious, also came.Different from Qingmei's gentle and dignified appearance, this daughter of the official servant's family is very delicate and pretty. She is only about fifteen or sixteen years old, four or five years younger than Gu Changqing, and her real name is Wen Yixin.

Wen Yixin has a beautiful face. Under the Yunyan fine brocade dress is a satin skirt with pink brocade ribbon and lotus root. There is a silver magpie bead flower in her hair. There is also a gold-encrusted jade dragonfly hairpin. The wings are light and thin, making her look even more beautiful. She is lively and charming.Qingmei thought it was a little funny when she imagined her clinging to the "iron mask" Gu Changqing, but judging by her words and deeds, she was measured.

After everyone at the table recognized each other, a pair of girls who were standing by a pot of red coral and looking at the snow outside the window also came over, and Gu Ronghua introduced: "This is Shuming county lord of Prince Rong's mansion, this is The third girl of Duke Wei's family, and Wei Xin, the cousin of Shuming county head." Qingmei hurriedly saluted.

The Shuming county lord, who was about 13 years old, nodded proudly, and went to eat the hibiscus soft cake on the table.

On the contrary, Wei Xin greeted Gu Ronghua a little more enthusiastically, and then said to Gu Ronghua: "Sister Gu, is the topic of today's poetry meeting ready?" Naturally curious about the topic.

Gu Ronghua smiled and nodded her forehead: "So anxious? Could it be that you have recently received advice from an expert?"

"Even with the advice of an expert, my sister won't be able to benefit. I am anxious to read your poems." Wei Xin smiled, and two dimples appeared on her cheeks, causing the butterfly hairpin to spread thin wings. Trembling slightly, like a butterfly about to fly away.

Qing Mei watched from the side, a little surprised.

Although she had just arrived in the capital, Wei Guogong's name had been heard a long time ago.He was the father of the two most favored concubines Wei Guifei in the palace. Compared with the queen's father He Taishi, although he was not as powerful in the court, he was more favored by the emperor.Especially in recent years, the second prince born to the noble concubine of Wei has been favored even more, and the Wei family has become more and more powerful.

When he was in Wancheng before, Wu Jin was given to the sick second son of Duke Wei's mansion as a concubine by the county guard. Wasn't it just for their power and wealth?
Speaking of which, Wei Xin is still the cousin of His Royal Highness the Third Prince Junli, and Junli will blatantly wander around under the name of the Duke of Wei's mansion, and he must be very close to the Duke's mansion.

Born in such a family, Wei Xin is naturally a noble status.What's more, she is the cousin of County Lord Shuming. Although County Lord Shuming looks arrogant and willful, she is very convinced of this cousin. Today, County Lord Shuming can come to Gu's mansion, probably because of Wei Xin.

The reason why Wei Xin came here was probably only at the invitation of Gu Ronghua, not with their mother like other girls.Otherwise, Mrs. Gu could easily invite Prince Rong's wife and people from Duke Wei's mansion?If they could be invited, the current situation in Ruixue Pavilion might not be like this.

What surprised Qingmei was that under such an identity, Wei Xin did not show the slightest arrogance, and when talking to Gu Ronghua, she also had a hint of coquettishness, which made people feel good.

She is still undecided in this side, where Mrs. Gu and others have already got up and went to the warm room on the right next door - a banquet and a stage have been prepared there, and Mrs. Gu plans to invite everyone to listen to the opera and enjoy the plum blossoms.

When Gu Ronghua saw the women leaving, he called the girls to go left. He went out a door, walked through a gallery, and found another pavilion.

Different from the expensive and stable furnishings just now, every furnishings in this hall exudes an elegant atmosphere.Gu Ronghua was originally bright and dignified, and good at observing people's wishes. Today, even though there are county magistrate Shuming, Wei Xin, Chu Hongxiu and others present, he can arrange it properly, without partiality.

Qingmei and Gu Hanying followed her, and they didn't need to worry about anything, they just had to chat and joke with the girls appropriately.

Because Wu Yujian and Qingmei hadn't seen each other for a long time, they got together and talked a lot.According to Wu Yujian, Wu Boren was full of praise after tasting the fruit wine sent by Qingmei, and he has talked about it many times recently, but unfortunately Qingmei has moved away from a long distance, and only after asking the He family did he know that he has entered the Gu's residence, so Wu Boren had to suppress it for the time being. Think about it.

Qingmei was very happy when she heard that, so she whispered to Wu Yujian: "I also miss the taste of fruit wine, I will brew some when I have time, and send a few jars to Grandpa Wu."

"That's a good feeling, I also miss the taste of wine making."
