Chapter 234 Beauty

Du Bin did not dare to express his anger. He watched Lu Ziqin leave the study and listened to the footsteps gradually going away until no sound could be heard.

The room was so quiet that only the British Duke's rough breathing could be heard. Du Bin stepped forward to add more tea to the British Duke and said cautiously: "My lord, take a sip of tea first to calm down."

The British man picked up the tea cup and drank half a cup of tea before suppressing the anger in his heart. "How dare he talk to me like this?"

Du Bin glanced at the British Duke secretly and whispered: "The Sixth Master has grown up and has his own ideas, which is a good thing. The Duke should be happy."

 “Happy? Are you glad that he didn’t **** me off to death?”

Du Bin hurriedly added tea and said, "My lord, please calm down."

The British Master pushed the tea cup aside angrily, and the tea sloshed out of the cup and spilled on the table.

Du Bin quickly wiped off the tea on the table with his sleeve to prevent the tea from getting the book wet.

Du Bin wiped the water and said, "Don't be angry, Mr. Guo. You keep asking Mr. Liu to come back. Don't you just like him for being stubborn?"

Du Bin saw that the British Duke's aura had calmed down a lot, and then said: "Apart from the angry words of the Sixth Master who were disobedient to the Duke of Guo, the temperament of the Sixth Master is actually very similar to that of the Duke of Guo. They both have a stubborn streak and both insist on speaking the truth. .

  The Liu Ye’s rebellious and angry words were not without reason. What the old lady did before was indeed somewhat correct. It is right for Mr. Liu to be angry. "

Du Bin's words were very popular with the British Duke. After hearing this, the anger in his heart dissipated and he sighed heavily, "How can he help the prince with his attitude?"

Du Bin said: "This matter cannot be rushed, it must be taken slowly. When the eldest lady lives in the mansion, Mr. Liu will return to the mansion from time to time.

As long as Master Liu is willing to return home, we will have a chance to get along with Master Liu. The emotions between people are all created by relationships.

 Furthermore, judging from my childhood, Mr. Liu is quite affectionate. Mr. Liu and the prince grew up together, and he has always been kind to the prince, and will not really ignore him.

Mr. Liu is very angry right now. If we wait a little longer and we work harder, Mr. Liu’s anger will subside. "

The British Master nodded slightly, "For now, this is all we can do. Go back and gather the people from Rong'an Hall and set rules for them, especially Grandma Wang. Please explain to her the pros and cons. If Yang makes a mistake, Please calm down your temper and make sure nothing happens again before the prince comes to power."

Du Bin nodded in agreement: "Yes, I understand."

The British Duke continued: "Li's side also needs to give some instructions. She should also not cause trouble again. Tell Li that when the prince succeeds to the throne, he will never treat her badly."

 Du Bin’s jaw should be lowered.

Everyone in Wutong Lane had breakfast and headed to Shi Mansion.

Mrs. Ping received the report from her servants and led everyone to greet her outside the gate.

 After the ceremony, everyone entered the mansion. The female family members followed Mrs. Ping to the flower hall in the backyard, and the male guests followed the Shi brothers to the outer courtyard.

Shi Yamei took Gu Huayu's hand and walked inside. As she walked, she said, "Xiaoyu, I'll take you around the house."

Gu Huayu saw the joy between her eyebrows and knew that she had something to say to him, so she responded kindly: "Okay, thank you Yamei."

 Shi Yamei turned to Mrs. Ping and said, "Mom, I'll take Xiaoyu around the yard."

Seeing that it was still early, Mrs. Ping nodded and said: "Go, remember to come back early to greet the guests."

"I know." Shi Yamei responded with a loud voice and pulled Gu Huayu towards her yard.

"Xiaoyu, yesterday Aunt Shan came to talk to Auntie." Although Shi Yamei's voice was low, she could not suppress her joy.

 Mrs. Ye and Mrs. Ping have always been good friends, haven’t they? Gu Huayu didn't come back to her thoughts for a moment, "Oh? Did Mrs. Ye talk to her aunt?"

Shi Yamei lowered her head shyly, "Yes, the second sister-in-law said she came to check on my mother-in-law, but my mother-in-law didn't agree on the spot and said she wanted to ask my father what he meant."

Gu Huayu understood and asked: "Aunt and uncle will agree? Mr. Ye is a gentleman and has a good appearance. Shi and Ye are well matched."

Shi Yamei nodded, "My mother said this just to give my father face. I am not young now, and my father is afraid that I will not be able to get married because of my pickling. As long as someone comes to propose marriage, even if the person is a beggar, my father will They will marry me off."

Gu Huayu smiled and said: "Exaggeration!"

Shi Yamei curled her lips and replied softly: "What I told is the truth. Last night I secretly hid in grandma's yard to listen to the wall. I wanted to see what grandma said to daddy? Do you know what my dad said? "

Gu Huayu asked: "How do you say it?"

"Okay, great. This girl is jumping up and down all day long. I'm afraid she won't be able to get married. After tomorrow's banquet is over, you can start her marriage. The Ye family comes to propose marriage. You should also imitate Wang Xiang. When discussing the marriage between the government and the British government, we can save every step in the process and strive to get the third girl married before the end of the year."

Shi Yamei imitated his father's tone and repeated Shi Shangshu's words.

At the end, he said: "Xiaoyu, you don't know how much my father dislikes me in his tone. It made me want to rush in and ask him if I was his biological child."

 Gu Huayu glanced sideways at Shi Yamei and bumped her shoulder with her hand, "Come on, you are so happy and you are still pretending to be disappointed in front of me."

Shi Yamei looked up and laughed, and asked, "How did you tell?"

Gu Huayu glanced at her with disgust and said, "You can't hide things in your heart. You are smiling all over your face and pretending to be disappointed. Who would believe you?"

Shi Yamei touched his face, "Is it so obvious?"

Gu Huayu raised her head and said to Mingzhi: "Bring your lady a mirror and let her take a good look at it."

“You bitch, you deserve a beating! You’re making fun of me.” As he said this, Shi Yamei waved his hand.

Gu Huayu jumped away and avoided it with a smile. "Hey, let's talk properly. A gentleman talks but doesn't do anything."

Shi Yamei looked at Gu Huayu who reacted quickly and said seriously: "Xiaoyu, do you know martial arts?"

Martial arts must be passed down. Gu Huayu was worried that Shi Yamei would find out who her master was, but Hua Da, Wang Qin and the others couldn't expose it for the time being, so she said vaguely: "I know a little bit about it, but it doesn't count as a master."

Shi Yamei only thought that she was being modest, "Don't be modest. You can get away with five tall men, but you just scratched the surface? Who are you lying to? By the way, I heard He Gu say, you also knocked them all down. admire!"

Shi Yamei has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and the only people he fought against were a few brothers in his family. Whenever they fight, the younger brother doesn't dare to be serious with her, and the older brother doesn't want to be serious with her, so everyone gives in to her. Therefore, she still doesn't know how good her kung fu is.

Gu Huayu smiled and explained: "What happened yesterday, if I were beaten hard, I might not be able to get away."

Shi Yamei asked curiously: "Then how did you knock the person down?"

Gu Huayu said: "Use poison!"

Shi Yamei suddenly said: "I forgot that you understand medicine."

"Miss, the guests from Ningyuan Hou Mansion have arrived. Madam asked the young lady to bring the cousin over." A servant came over and reported.

Shi Yamei nodded, "I understand. Tell Aniang and we will come."

Gu Huayu stood up and said, "Let's go, let's go there."

"Let's go!" Shi Yamei didn't mind the heat, took Gu Huayu's hand and walked out, saying as he walked: "Lin Xiuxian, the Marquis of Ningyuan House, once worshiped Ye Shangshu when he was young, so Ningyuan House and Chengguo Palace They have always been close, the prince Lin Wangshu and Ye Minghao are close friends.

Liao, the wife of Marquis Lin, is the younger sister of Liao Hongyi, the minister of the Ministry of Industry. She is famous for being gentle and virtuous in a family in the capital. Several ladies in their family are also very kind. You don't need to be cautious when you meet her. "

 Shi Yamei was worried that Gu Huayu would feel uncomfortable meeting strangers, so she started with introductions.

Gu Huayu turned her head and looked at Shi Yamei, "Okay. Thank you Yamei."

When Mrs. Ping saw the two coming, she raised her hand and shouted: "Yanran, come here to see Mrs. Liao."

Gu Huayu walked over, greeted Mrs. Liao and said, "Hello, madam."

Mrs. Liao said: "The princess can't do it!" The people followed and wanted to get out.

Mrs. Ping pulled Mrs. Liao and said, "Hongjuan, sit down. Yanran is Hanru's daughter. You treat Hanru like a younger sister. Speaking of which, you are also Yanran's elder and can afford her courtesy."

Mrs. Liao smiled and held Gu Huayu's hand, and put the bracelet on her hand back to Gu Huayu's hand. "It's a little gadget, the princess keeps it for fun."

Gu Huayu said thank you for her blessings.

 The two ladies of the Lin family came forward to greet Gu Huayu.

"Third girl, Yanran and Wang Yue are going to play." Mrs. Ping turned around and said, "Sister Yue, Sister Huan, let San Yatou and Jun go to the lake to enjoy the flowers. The lotus flowers are in full bloom this year. It's very beautiful. nice."

Shi Yamei whispered to Gu Huayu: "Sister Yue and Sister Huan are twins, Sister Yue is the elder sister and Sister Huan is the younger sister.

They are the same age as you. They both lived in Changping for eight years. They are half a year older than you. They have already grown their hair in April and have not yet discussed the marriage. So Mrs. Liao will take them out to attend the banquet. It was difficult for them to marry each other before. Saw them at family dinner. "

After finishing speaking, Shi Yamei smiled and greeted the Lin sisters: "Let's go to the pergola by the lake."

The Lin sisters were slightly blessed and followed Shi Yamei out.

Gu Huayu secretly looked at the two of them. Although they were twins, they didn't look alike.

Lin Wanghuan saw Gu Huayu walking behind, stretched out his hand to pull Lin Wangyue, motioning for her to stop, and politely let Gu Huayu go forward, "Princess, please."

Gu Huayu said hurriedly: "Nothing, let's go." Seeing their persistence, Gu Huayu had no choice but to move forward.

The four of them had just walked to the door when they saw Yang Jing leading the female relatives from the residence of Zheng Shilang of the Ministry of Punishment.

Several people stepped aside and greeted Mrs. Liu.

 Old man Liu nodded slightly and followed Yang Jing to the flower hall without stopping.

Shi Yamei and others entered the flower hall and then went to the lake.

The lake in the Shi family's yard is not very big. Gu Huayu made a visual inspection and found that it was about ten acres in size. The lake was surrounded by lotus flowers in a ring about two feet wide.

Shi Yamei saw Gu Huayu looking towards the lake and said, "My house has been in this house for more than a hundred years.

At first, there was no lake in the house. My wife’s grandmother said that the house should have mountains and water, so my wife’s grandfather had such a lake dug out. The dug mud was piled on the side to form a mountain.

The wife and grandmother were careful and worried that it would be unsafe for the children at home to play in the water, so they left a shallow water area about two feet wide around it for planting lotus. Do you want to walk along the lake or rest in the pergola? "

Gu Huayu looked at the two ladies from the Lin family and asked, "Where are you two watching?"

Lin Wangyue looked at Lin Wanghuan and asked, "Sister Huan, do you want to rest or take a walk?"

Lin Wanghuan looked at the three of them and said, "How about? Let's go for a walk and then come back to rest?"

"Then let's go this way. There are more shades of trees here and it's cooler." Shi Yamei greeted.

A few people walked along the bluestone road by the lake, chatting about daily life while walking. Shi Yamei mainly spoke, and the other three listened.

As Shi Yamei said, the Lin sisters are very easy-going, gentle when they talk, gentle when they smile, and even when they walk. He is also very attentive and will remind him to be careful when he sees Shi Yamei walking backwards. When going up the steps, he would reach out to protect Gu Huayu.

There was laughter coming from the mountain on the other side. When Shi Yamei saw the three people looking over, he explained: "There is a big platform on the mountain. In the early years, my father had a large pavilion built. My second brother was a scholar and often held literary parties on it. Today. For the banquet, the second brother asked people to put tea and fruit snacks on it. "

“Third sister, where are you going?”

The four of them turned their heads and looked over. Yang Jing and a group of people were standing at the door of the pergola calling them.

Shi Yamei replied: "I'm not going anywhere, just admiring the flowers by the lake."

Yang Jing turned around and asked the people around her, then led a group of people towards them.

Shi Yamei turned to Gu Huayu and said: "Xiaoyu, on the left of the second sister-in-law is Li Yiyi, the third lady from Li Shaoqing's house in Dali Temple. Next to Li Yiyi is Zheng Min, the third miss from Zheng Shilang's house in the Ministry of Punishment. Li Yiyi and Zheng Min are Cousins.

To the right of the second sister-in-law is the second young lady from the residence of the Minister of Industry and Commerce. Next to the second young lady Fu is Fang Mingfang, the fifth young lady from the residence of Fang Zhiyuan, the newly appointed Minister of Etiquette. "

Gu Huayu looked at the people coming towards her, nodded and said, "I understand."

Yang Jing introduced Gu Huayu to the ladies from various houses around her. After the two parties met, Yang Jing said to her: "Princess, my mother asked me to take you back to the flower hall to get to know the ladies from each house."

Gu Huayu felt slightly blessed and said, "I have a favor for my second sister-in-law."

Shi Yamei stayed to entertain the ladies from various families, while Gu Huayu followed Yang Jing to the flower hall.

At this time, the flower hall was full of people and it was very lively.

Yang Jing turned her head and said to Gu Hua: "Xiaoyu, next to the princess, Mrs. Qin from the Chengguo Palace is talking to her aunt. Sitting next to Mrs. Qin is Mrs. Qian from the Chengguo Palace."

When Gu Huayu walked into the flower hall, Wang Peiyun saw that the person who came was light and elegant, with skin that was better than snow. The eyes under the beautiful eyebrows were like a clear spring, and the tall and delicate nose outlined the outline of the face almost perfectly.

A soft haze of gold and azure rain was worn on her body, making her appear even more ethereal. There are such beauties in the world! It's so beautiful that you can't take your eyes away.

Wang Peiyun thought she had a beautiful face, but in front of the beauty in front of her, she actually felt a little ashamed of herself.

Not just Wang Peiyun, everyone gossiping in the hall looked over.

When Mrs. Ping saw Gu Huayu coming in with Yang Jing, she stood up and greeted her, "Princess, come here to pay homage to the old lady of Duke Chengguo's mansion."

Mrs. Qin stopped talking to Mrs. Ping and turned around to look over.

Gu Huayu stepped forward to greet Mrs. Qin and said, "Hello, Mrs. Qin!"

Mrs. Qin looked at Gu Huayu kindly, said hello repeatedly, and waved her hand: "Girl, come closer and let me have a look."
