Chapter 176 Admiration (two more)
Wei Jiao Niang laughed and leaned back and forth, tears overflowing from the corners of her eyes, she leaned on Gu Yanfei's body, and cheerfully said, "Guess what!"
"If you can't guess, you can find someone to calculate, maybe you will know."
Wei Jiaoniang made no secret of her dislike for Yu Chaoyun.
"What? Do you need a reason to hate someone?" Lu Qin said with a smile, "I don't like barking dogs, do I still need to explain to someone?"
Yu Chaoyun clenched his handkerchief tightly, his face was pale, and his eyes were even more uncertain.
The words have all been said about this, and this is not just as simple as being slapped in the face in public.
She is playing the piano on behalf of the aristocratic family today. She loses and hurts the family's face, but as long as she can maintain the integrity of the family, she can still be recognized by others.
But now, Gu Yanfei, Wei Jiaoniang, and the others have literally stepped on her in the mud. If she goes back in such a disheartened manner, what will other daughters from aristocratic families think of her? ! Who will look at her in the future? !
"The snow has stopped!" Wei Jiao Niang shouted happily towards the window, got up from the chair, and pulled Gu Yanfei and Lu Qin up, "We can hide from the cat."
"Okay, I'm almost stiff from sitting." A girl in green clothes jumped up excitedly, and the others were eager to try.
Lu Qin shrank her body, obviously she had not yet left the water pavilion, and already felt the biting chill.
She didn't want to go outside to blow the cold wind at all, but she couldn't match the enthusiasm of the others, so she just half pushed out of the water pavilion with the other girls.
No one paid any attention to Yu Chaoyun, she was the only one standing at the table.
The laughter of the girls slowly faded away.
Lady Zeng and others on the west side of the water pavilion were still sitting in the distance, looking at Yu Chaoyun with complicated expressions, and no one came forward for a long time.
The surroundings were dead silent.
Yu Chaoyun's hand hidden in his sleeve tightly squeezed the incense ball, almost squeezing it flat.
I don't know how long it took, and a friendly and soft female voice came from her ear: "Chaoyun."
The voice sounded just a few steps behind her, a slender and graceful shadow was cast beside her, and the silhouette of the butterfly and bead flower trembled slightly on the ground.
Even if he didn't look back, Yu Chaoyun knew that it was Gu Yunchang, the fingers in his sleeve tightened a bit, the haze in his eyes was so thick that it was about to overflow.
She knew from a young age that her cousin Fang Mingfeng and Dingyuan Hou's manor Gu Yunchang were married, so she could only hide her thoughts well.
After coming to the capital this time, she learned from her aunt, the British husband-in-law, that Gu Yuncong had an affair with Kang Wang, so she pushed her cousin to Gu Yanfei, the second girl who had been living in the family for more than ten years.
And Gu Yanfei actually said to the Queen Mother in public at Jing Wangfu that she did not recognize her marriage with the Fang family.
This news was like a lightning strike to Yu Chaoyun.
The cousin who she admired wholeheartedly was pushed around like a hot potato by the sisters of the Gu family. What did they think of her cousin? !
"Chaoyun?" Gu Yunxiang called out from behind, and the shadow on the ground moved forward.
Yu Chaoyun closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, calm returned to them.
She turned around slowly, and when her face met Gu Yunkang, who was a few steps away, her expression was full of grievances, the water in her eyes flowed, and her slightly pale cherry lips were pursed tightly, a look of forbearance and embarrassment. look.
It looks like the bright and dignified peony flower was rudely broken off the branch, and a few petals fell from the corolla.
Gu Yunxiang looked at Yu Chaoyun's appearance and couldn't bear it: Yu Chaoyun is just a little girl who just arrived, and how did she know that winning or losing in this world is often a matter of words from those in power, and there is no fairness at all.
"Chaoyun, you didn't lose, and you don't need to admit defeat. Don't be too caring." Gu Yunmao showed a soothing smile to Yu Chaoyun. .
"嫆嫆, thank you." Yu Chaoyun nodded, took a step closer to Gu Yunxiang, and smiled reluctantly, with a slightly bitter smile.
She reached out and held one of Gu Yunxiang's hands, and she gestured like an ignorant white rabbit, delicate and innocent, with a child-like dependence.
Gu Yunchang felt Yu Chaoyun's palm was cold, felt more and more pitiful for the other party, and sighed in his heart.
She shook Yu Chaoyun's hand soothingly, trying to give her strength and warmth.
Yu Chaoyun's gaze turned to the sparkling lake outside the window again, and said softly, "嫆嫆, I was actually sent to the capital by my family."
"I don't hide it from you, they are the first prince concubine."
Her voice was erratic and weak. When she spoke, her long eyelashes trembled, and her chest heaved violently.
It seems that he has been suppressed for a long time, and no one has said it, so he can only talk to Gu Yunxiang.
"Plop!"
A gold and silver carp in the lake outside the window flew up from the water and fell again, splashing all over the place. A few drops of water splashed through the window onto their dresses. Yu Chaoyun's cuffs were wet and seemed to be stained with tears. .
"Chaoyun..." Gu Yuncong's words had a stronger sense of pity, and he felt touched, and wanted to persuade her.
In this era, no matter it is a commoner woman or a girl from a noble mansion of an aristocratic family, they are all helpless, their marriage is in the hands of the family, and they can only follow the trend to find a marriage that is right for each other. to live a lifetime.
From a brilliant pearl to a dull and boring dead fish eye, it is really pitiful.
However, before Gu Yunchang's words came out, he heard Yu Chaoyun say softly again: "嫆嫆, I'm actually very happy."
Gu Yunchang opened her cherry lips slightly and looked at Yu Chaoyun in astonishment.
Yu Chaoyun's eyes turned to Gu Yunchang again, and he smiled lightly, with a three-point gentleness and a three-point sweetness in his smile, and then said: "I'm very happy, I have admired His Royal Highness the First Prince since I was a child."
"When I was young, I visited the capital several times..."
"When I was seven years old, I entered the palace with my aunt and met His Royal Highness the eldest prince in the imperial garden. At that time, I was enjoying lotus flowers with a few girls by the lake. Two of the girls were at odds and accidentally bumped into each other while pushing. When it arrives at me. Just a little bit, I'm about to fall into the lake, but fortunately the First Prince's Palace has stopped me."
"For me at the time, His Highness was like a hero... He was really a very gentle person."
What Yu Chaoyun said was half-truth, but her emotions were true.
When she was seven years old, she did enter the palace with her aunt once, but in the story she hid a person, her cousin Fang Mingfeng.
In those days, the person who held her in the palace was her cousin, and the person she liked was also her cousin.
Besides my cousin, there is no one else.
