Mrs. Wu Anhou was unhappy, but she concealed it very well at the moment and did not show it on her face.
After hearing this, several girls felt that Mrs. Wu'an Hou was willing to take the trouble to look at their flower arrangements, which meant that she was very satisfied with them, so they all smiled.
Zhou said: "In this case, you can show your skills and let us have a look."
Several girls agreed in unison, and then sat back in their seats to show the flowers they had arranged. Gu Ying felt a little dissatisfied with her flowers, and ended up hurriedly repairing them.
Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Wu Anhou sat down at a table nearby, and a maid brought two cups of tea and some food.
Gu Yi was eager to give it a try, and just as she was about to step forward, Zhou glanced over, and then said: "Since you want to see the flowers, come one by one and see what reputation you can make. If you win the title of Marquis of Wu'an,
A compliment from my wife, I will reward you later."
At this point, Mrs. Zhou added: "The elders and younger ones should be arranged in order, let's start with the second girl."
Gu Yi's initially joyful face faded, but she soon put on a decent smile. She still looked gentle and courteous. She smiled and said: "Then let the second sister come first. The second sister's flower arrangement is the best."
Yes, he is famous in this imperial city, Madam Wu'an Hou must take a good look at her."
This is what it means to put a high hat on Gu Xiang.
There is a saying that the higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment. Now Gu Yi is putting a high hat on Gu Xiang, and soon as long as Gu Xiang behaves in the slightest inappropriate way, Mrs. Wu Anhou will be unhappy.
Gu Xiang wasn't really that stupid. She didn't even know that Gu Yi was digging a hole for her, so she said calmly: "Third sister praised me. My skills are not the same as those of several sisters. I don't deserve it."
What is famous but not famous? Third sister said so, where do you put people who are good at this?"
Gu Ying's face was not good-looking, and her tone was a little bit weird: "Yeah, third sister, how is she famous? I think she doesn't care about it on weekdays, even worse than me. You actually said that she is famous all over the Imperial City. Could it be that you are looking at her?
Misaligned?"
Gu Ying felt very unhappy and couldn't hide anything. Her face looked ugly and her sleeves were tightly clenched.
Gu Xiang was wearing this outfit early this morning, and she felt something was wrong. Where did Gu Xiang get such good clothes? Then Zhou gave her the peony, and now he told her to show it first. Obviously he liked her and wanted to
Give her a push and let her be the crown prince's wife.
Even though Gu Xiang is the legitimate daughter, she is still living next door to her. She is the one who calls Mrs. Zhou her mother. Mrs. Zhou no longer thinks about her, but instead pushes the matter to Gu Xiang!
Gu Yi mentally scolded Gu Ying an idiot, and the smile on her face was a bit unbearable, but at this moment she could only say: "I think I remembered it wrong, but the second sister's flower arrangement was really excellent.
of."
Gu Xiang glanced at her coldly: "Three sisters, please remember it clearly next time. This time I just said that I did a good job in flower arrangement. It is just a small matter. If it framed others without any basis, it would make others unable to do it."
It is a big mistake to make excuses and harm others."
The implication is that Gu Yi talks nonsense when she opens her mouth, has no moral integrity, and is not sincere and fair. It would be fine if a woman with such a temperament were to be controlled as a young daughter-in-law, but she would definitely not be able to be the eldest daughter-in-law.
.
Gu Yi's expression changed, and he was about to argue with her to clear his name, but Mrs. Zhou on the side did not give her this chance: "Okay, hurry up and get ready, Mrs. Wu'an Hou and I are waiting."
Gu Yi's immediate breath was stuck in his throat, and he couldn't spit it out or swallow it.
But Mrs. Zhou had already spoken, so she couldn't say anything more and had to grit her teeth and endure it.
Forget it, no matter how good Gu Xiang behaves, she won't be able to become the wife of the Crown Prince when the time comes. Let her be arrogant for a while longer.
Gu Xiang turned around and walked back to the table, then presented the flower arrangement she had made. The flower arrangement she used was a gilt vase, with dragons and phoenixes painted on the vase, which was full of nobility.
The flower arrangement uses a red peony in full bloom as the main flower, surrounded by other flowers and plants of various colors, surrounded by hundreds of flowers, the peony is unique and precious.
Gu Xiang placed the flower arrangement on the table in front of Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Wu'anhou, then took two steps back, bowed slightly and saluted: "Auntie, Mrs. Wu'anhou, Axiang is very polite. The name of this flower is 'Peony is the most beautiful thing in the country.'"
, when the flowers bloom, a hundred flowers will be ashamed'."
"Peony is the king of flowers, and it has all flowers surrendering to it. It serves as a foil. It is a unique branch, its flowers are scorching, its light is gorgeous, and it deserves its nobility."
Mrs. Wu Anhou nodded slightly: "Not bad."
Mrs. Wu'anhou is a person who pays great attention to status. Peony is the king of flowers. Since it is the king, the flowers will naturally become a foil and eclipse in front of the king of flowers.
Gu Xiang's flower arrangement is well matched, and it can highlight the nobility and status of peonies.
Mrs. Zhou also nodded with satisfaction: "Axiang is indeed good. She used to take care of her mother and often serve her grandmother. She is an extremely filial girl."
"And you have to have a strong temper. I really think it's better for a girl to have a stronger temper, so that she won't dare to retaliate when others bully her."
Mrs. Wu'an Hou saw the clothes Gu Xiang was wearing when she entered the door. She probably understood what Zhou meant. When she heard what she said, she felt a little satisfied: "He is a good child. If he is the eldest daughter-in-law, he can be a good child."
Protect the little ones at home."
Zhou smiled and said, "That's exactly the truth."
When Gu Xiang heard this, he felt a lot more at ease. He bowed again and brought the flower arrangement back.
Gu Yi was the second one to come up. For her flower arrangement, she chose a pastel white porcelain vase with a painting of a spring outing. The vase had a round belly and was much shorter than Gu Xiang's vase, but it was still elegant and delicate.
The main flower she used was peony. Peony is known as the queen of flowers. She saw that Gu Xiang peony was the most beautiful one, but she found another flower in the stream. The main flower was peony, and there were several flowers of various colors that bloomed in perfect harmony with each other.
Coupled with flowers and plants, it looks very beautiful.
Gu Yi gave a slight salute, then looked at Mrs. Wu'anhou tenderly: "Aunt, Mrs. Wu'anhou, Ayi's nickname is 'Sixth Palace'."
"Sixth Palace?" Mrs. Wu Anhou was slightly surprised, then looked up at her, "This is interesting, why is it called the Sixth Palace?"
Gu Yi returned the gift with a smile: "To Madam, peony is the queen of flowers, that is, the queen. There are other concubines in the palace. Peony is the most expensive, but all the flowers take care of each other, so that we can have luxuriant flowers and branches.
Mao."
Gu Yi's "Sixth Palace" should reflect the relationship between the principal wife and his concubines. What she means is that if she is the principal wife, she will definitely get along well with the concubines, so that she can flourish her husband's family and multiply her descendants.
Compared with Gu Xiang's King of Flowers, who has a single flower and a hundred flowers surrendering, her virtuous and generous style is more like an IKEA room.
