"Hey, why are you crying? Why are you crying? I didn't bully you."
Gu Yan shed tears pitifully. She looked pitiful. Her appearance was a little more childish. Although she was thirteen, her face was fleshy, as if she still had baby fat, and she looked like she had been bullied.
of big dumplings.
"Okay, okay, don't cry. I'm afraid of you. I don't want your flowers." Gu Ying's head was really big. If Mrs. Zhou came later and saw Gu Yan crying again,
Maybe I have to teach her a lesson again.
Gu Yan cried so hard that she choked back: "Really don't want it anymore?"
Gu Ying was so annoyed that she died: "No, no, no, don't cry."
Gu Yan said oh, then quickly wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, turned around and continued arranging her flowers happily, as if the previous thing had never happened.
Gu Ying: "..."
I was really almost out of breath.
Gu Yan has a naughty temperament, she is weak and easy to bully, but the only bad thing is that this girl is really good at crying, and she will cry endlessly.
Several times in a row, Gu Ying was so angry with her that she almost had a heart attack, but in the end she didn't dare to say anything to her.
She was really angry, now even Gu Yan was bullying her!
Mad!
Gu Ying tugged on the handkerchief angrily, but did not dare to do anything else. She was angry for a while, but she was afraid of delaying things, so she had to calm down and start arranging flowers. It was about two quarters of an hour (30 minutes)
, the four girls were almost done with their flower arrangements, and voices came from outside.
"This is it. Qiushuiyuan is where the girls usually go to class. It just so happens that today is the time when the female teachers are testing their flower arrangement skills. Since Mrs. Wu'anhou is here, let's go and take a look."
Another voice said: "Then I'd like to take a look. I remember that when I was in my boudoir, I was also a good flower arranger. Every spring, I would meet with my sisters to cut flowers, arrange flowers, make tea, and play drumming to pass the flowers around to choose the flowers.
Yaming, I went to look for Tonghuafeng, I was so happy at that time."
The tungflower phoenix is a small and gorgeous bird that often roosts on the tung flowers in late spring, hence the name 'tungflower phoenix'. The world regards the tungflower phoenix as a symbol of auspiciousness, and is called the phoenix chick, which is also used for love.
As a symbol, girls become interested in spring and like to look for tung flowers and phoenixes.
"Later, the girls got married one after another, and gradually they dispersed. Now that they are women, they can no longer have the lightness and joy of being girls."
But no, there is a difference between being a girl and being a woman. When you are a girl, apart from having to go to class and study, you will be happy and worry-free the rest of the time, and your elders will take care of everything.
But once you get married, you become an adult. You need to be filial to your parents-in-law, serve your husband in the middle, and take care of the children. In addition, you have to take care of private property, manage everything in the backyard, and make relationships and manage connections with others.
How can such a hard-working person still have the joy of being a girl?
Mrs. Zhou smiled and said: "This woman, the most relaxed thing in life is that she has been a girl for these few years. Speaking of it, the girls in our Changning Marquis Mansion each have their own temperaments, but none of them are bad."
"Mrs. Tai often said that since they are girls in the family, they should be taught well so that they can find a good marriage for them in the future. Madam Marquis Wu An will definitely like her when she sees her."
"Oh, then I would like to meet some of the girls in the house."
The two chatted while walking, and soon arrived at the door. A maid came forward to open the curtain. The two entered, and the female gentleman led several girls to come forward and salute.
"Meet Mrs. Changninghou and pay homage to Mrs. Wuanhou."
"Meet my mother (aunt) and meet Mrs. Wu'anhou."
The four girls stood in a row, all of them were like the most delicate flowers in spring. They were either dignified and majestic, or bright and gorgeous, or charming and lovely, and the flowers were in abundance and beautiful.
Even Mrs. Wu'an Hou had to admit that the girls in the Changning Hou Mansion were indeed well raised, especially in terms of appearance, all of them were good.
Mrs. Zhou said: "Hurry up and forgive me. Madam Wu'anhou is visiting today. I happened to hear that you are arranging flowers, so I came to see them together. How are they doing today?"
The latter sentence is for the female gentleman.
The female gentleman respectfully replied: "To tell you the truth, madam, these girls are very serious, and they are all very good at arranging flowers."
Mrs. Zhou turned around and asked the girls with a smile: "Are they all done? Mrs. Wu'an Houfu and I just sat down to enjoy them."
The four girls bent their knees and saluted: "It's all done."
Mrs. Wu'anhou's eyes swept over the several girls, with scrutiny and criticality in her eyes. Leaving aside the youngest Gu Yan, the other three all looked good.
Gu Xiang is wearing a bright red waist-length skirt today, and a long-sleeved gown embroidered with golden peonies. She wears a girl's fringed bun on her head. The bun is exquisitely and carefully tied, and there is a complete set of hairpins on it.
A peony silk hairpin inlaid with precious stones. There is a thumb-sized ruby in the middle of the top hairpin. It looks noble and dignified, with a somewhat Gu You feeling.
Gu Yi wore a lotus-colored double-breasted waist-length undershirt, revealing a lining embroidered with lotus patterns. There was a purple shawl hanging on her hands, and there were some tiny flower hairpins in her bun, and she was paired with a lotus flower.
Yao, looks bright, gentle, graceful, considerate and knows how to please people.
Gu Ying was wearing a peach red pleated waist-length skirt, with a peach red shawl hanging on her arms. Her whole person was bright and charming, like peach blossoms in spring, so pretty and lovely.
She noticed Mrs. Wu Anhou looking over, raised her chin slightly, showed a proud smile, and then smiled back.
In Gu Ying's view, the position of the wife of the Marquis of Wu'an is simply in her pocket. No matter how Gu Xiang and Gu Yi are the girls of the second wife, her father is the Marquis of Changning, and she is a concubine.
It is much more noble than this second room.
Moreover, her second uncle spoiled his concubine and killed his wife. The house was in such chaos that a handful of mud could not hold up the wall. Who would be willing to marry him?
Mrs. Wu'an Hou secretly compared it in her mind. In her opinion, Gu Xiang's dress was dignified and noble, and she was in line with the candidate for the eldest daughter-in-law. However, with Gu You Zhuyu in front, she felt that she was inferior, not to mention
Speaking of this appearance, both status and temperament are quite different.
Let’s talk about Gu Yi. Gu Yi is graceful and gentle, and is popular with men. However, as the head of the house, she doesn’t like this. She feels that she is not dignified enough. She has fascinated men so much that she has no intention of doing anything serious. It seems that she cannot be on the stage.
The behavior of the concubine.
Moreover, Mrs. Wu'anhou had also heard about the affairs of the second room in Changninghou Mansion, and she felt that Gu Yi was raised by her aunt and would be as shameless as her aunt.
There is also Gu Ying, the eldest daughter of a concubine, who is neither dignified nor elegant, has a unclear view of herself, and has a bit of a petty attitude.
Mrs. Wu Anhou felt dissatisfied no matter how she compared it. She couldn't spit out or swallow the breath in her heart. She felt so miserable.
"Since you have made a flower arrangement, show it to everyone."
