Chapter 309 The limelight
The ladies in the pavilion looked up together.
The little lady with a green jacket wiped her forehead and was obviously a little excited: "Xiao Xie and I went outside to see the venue just now. It seemed that we heard the noise here. Why? Which daughter from another family is in the limelight? Or is it a young master from which company made a popular article?"
The little ladies blinked.
Gao Minru sighed: "Hey, it's really a big shot."
Green Jacket waved his hand: "No matter who else, as long as that Gu Sanniang doesn't show off, I'll be happy. Who is this girl? I just don't know what tricks she has used as soon as she came to the capital. Mr. Meng had made Mr. Yun trust her so much, and he actually..."
Seeing that several friends around her didn't say anything, she couldn't help but frown, "Aru, you are really, no matter what kind of friendship we have, no one knows who is, they are all pretending!"
"When is this? There are only a few noble men in the capital who look like they are... There is another one that is so good at disturbing. I wonder what accident will happen. Let's not take advantage of her just now to get rid of people. Would we wait for her to stir up trouble and make everyone feel unhappy?"
Gao Minru raised her hand to cover her face.
The young lady of the Liu family was so amused and crying: "Afang, you... dare to say too."
The person with the green jacket is Fang Ning. Her mother is a royal family member, a county magistrate, and her father is a big grain merchant. Nowadays, there are many royal family women who marry into merchant families, and this matter is not new.
Although Fang Ning is a merchant, she usually has a good time with the daughters of the capital and is rich. Her mother is also very decent in the palace. She herself is a regular visitor in the palace, and her identity is not worse than other famous daughters.
Because he speaks quite honestly, he is very popular among these little ladies.
Fang Ning looked around and looked around: "Li Chengyu is not here? That Gu Sanniang is not here? Go and search for it. Today, I must let her know what serious noble girls look like."
When she turned around, she saw that the little ladies around her had a little complicated expression and frowned, "Why are you so bored today? Humph, I don't believe that even if she is good at studying, she can still shoot arrows? She probably hasn't even seen the seven-dou bow before, let alone pull it away!"
This dynasty has heavy bows and crossbows. The young ladies of the truly top families in the capital need to learn crossbows. However, crossbows are controlled by the court. Ordinary people cannot easily see even male ladies.
"I don't believe that Gu Sanniang can be civil and martial."
"I can't suppress her, so I come to Wu. Anyway, I can't let her walk out of the spring banquet so proudly. You don't think about it. Today, she has made such a big show of popularity, and we are all here, what will we say outside? Wouldn't we step on and praise her a few times? Don't wait for the incident, and tomorrow, we will be looked at by others!"
Fang Ning said a series of words in one breath, then quickly picked up the teacup and drank several sips of tea, turned around and frowned, "What's wrong with you today? Look at you, you're stunned, not a little lively! Minru, it's fine for others, don't deflate."
Gao Minru: "..."
The little ladies: "…"
Gao Minru smiled and said dryly: "Sister Sanniang is indeed both civil and military."
What else can she do if she is not discouraged? The one next to her... can fly!
No one could imagine how she felt when she suddenly looked up and saw the maid next to Gu Xiang fly out.
I instantly felt that everything in front of me and everything around me seemed fake, a dream.
Gao Minru closed her eyes, she would definitely not be depressed. She had ambitions, desires, and many things she wanted, but at this moment, she just wanted to be quiet and wake up from that dream.
Little Lady Liu raised her eyes and saw Gu Sanniang leading Li Chengyu to the pond again. The snow eagle was the one who could fly, and Zhao Susu, who could write poems that could make Lu Jiulang bow down and surrender, one stood behind Gu Sanniang and fanned her, and the other cooked tea for her.
After a while of silence, Xiao Madam Liu sighed, got up and patted Fang Ning on the shoulder, and whispered: "Well, the courage is commendable. Go and support you, but I have something to do. Well, my sister beat my brother today, and I have to go back early to persuade the fight."
After saying that, Miss Liu got up and left the pavilion.
Of course, you can't leave. The Yun family is still waiting for the officials from Kaifeng Prefecture to come to deal with what happened just now. Even if it is impossible for them, the daughters of all the big families, can only go to the yamen, but they also need the people from the government to come and disperse.
The Yun family always has to give face.
As soon as Miss Liu left, the sisters from the Wang family next to her also stood up and left hand in hand.
"My mother asked me to copy some poems for her and read them. Let's go and try our luck."
Gao Minru thought for a while: "I want to make peach blossom cakes for my brother today and pick some peach blossoms."
Fang Ning: "When making peach blossom cakes, do you still have to pick peach blossoms?"
How can peach blossom cakes be made from peach blossoms here really be eaten?
After a while, Fang Ning finally knew what had happened in the garden just when she left. She didn't see it with her own eyes. She just felt that those statements were all dream words spoken by the dreamer.
Gu Xiang was shaking around with a fishing rod in his hand, and fishing was careless. Just now, the old man from the Yun family used the fishing net to come out seven or eight big fat fish. She was fishing now, but she was just playing.
Soon, the official officer from Kaifeng Prefecture arrived.
However, he only called the servants of the Yun family, the servants and others over, but did not ask questions from the young ladies in the garden. Even Li Chengyu, who almost suffered, was the same.
After all, the young lady present had an extraordinary identity. She really called everyone away. Even if she didn't go to the yamen, it would be a shame in the end.
Gu Xiang winked, Xueying went out for a moment, and when she came back, she took her servants into the garden.
"What news has been found?"
Gu Xiang simply put the fishing rod down, pulled Li Chengyu up, found a stone pier to shelter the wind and sat down safely, and put a cup of hot tea in her hand.
The servant smiled. This face was not inferior to that of Lu Jiulang. Li Chengyu felt uncomfortable. Seeing this servant, he couldn't help but turn red and a little distracted - the people around Sanniang looked really decent.
"Today, the maid who was evil was called Polygonum. She said nothing, but scolded the Li family's little lady. Hongmei, who lived in the same room with the man who was the maid, had a strange temperament these two days. The day before yesterday, my wife was punished to copy books and meditation. She did not copy books seriously, but instead copied the Lotus Sutra."
"Hongmei said that she got up last night and saw pomegranates on the rockery in the backyard crying while burning paper, muttering words like revenge, perhaps these are related to what she did today."
