Space peasant girl: madly criticizing Xianggong for being weak and bullying

Chapter 423 Grandfather is Coming
On that day, the General's Mansion was full of joy, but suddenly, quite coincidentally, many noble ladies in the capital went out for an outing in the city together.

"Hmph, I heard that she has been to Gu's residence several times with the cheek, she must be thinking of asking for help at Jiji Li!"

"Bah! Sure enough, wild girls who grew up in the countryside don't know how to be polite. What kind of family is the Gu family? Is that something she can cling to wherever she wants?"

At this time, Zuo Xiangling wanted to discuss marriage with Gu's family but was told that the characters were not compatible. Zuo Xiangling's face froze, and she could only raise a cup and drink tea to cover up her embarrassment.She was one of the people who went to the bookstore to order books, and she ordered the most, just to make that Xiao Ning lose face.

How long has she only been in the capital, how many people do she know, even if those idiots from the Shen family really want to help her, how many books can one person produce?The only uncertain factor that makes people more worried is the Gu family. I heard that Gu Ruoruo and Xiao Ning are close friends, so I don't know if they will help.

Thinking of this, Zuo Xiangling bit her lip.

It's just that the Gu family thought highly of themselves, and opened a dyeing workshop just because they gave them some color. The Zuo family even offered to show their favor, but they even put on airs to reject the Zuo family.

Do you really think that there are no other good people in the whole capital except them?A group of poor scholars who want money but have no money, want power but have no power, and they take themselves seriously.

When she finds a better marriage, the Gu family will definitely regret it!
Just as he was thinking, he suddenly heard someone say: "It's not good, it's not good, His Royal Highness actually went to that wild... to Xiao Ning's ceremony!"

"What? Didn't His Royal Highness just come back from Luozhou not long ago? And how could he be related to the Xiao family?"

"It must be that Xiao Ning repeated his old tricks, just like sending invitations to the Gu family, begging to go!"

The more the noble ladies talked, the more anxious they became, and soon one by one they carried their skirts and got into the carriage, as if they had gone a step earlier, and if the prince had a few more glances, they could follow into the Eastern Palace.

In fact, let alone them, even the Xiao family didn't expect the crown prince to come, and Xiao Ran couldn't hide his disgust: "We didn't send them a post, what is it called? Uninvited?"

Gu Chang'an doesn't like Yan's family either, but he cares more about the smooth progress of the whole ceremony than his personal dislike.

Xiao Ran also knew this truth very well, so she curled her lips: "Forget it, just add an extra pair of bowls and chopsticks, I hope he can leave as soon as he finishes his meal."

Gu Chang'an patted the back of her hand lightly, so that she might be upset, so he took the initiative to greet her.

The prince took advantage of the situation and said to Gu Chang'an: "I just came back, and I haven't had time to prepare any gifts. I heard that Miss Xiao is planning to build a bookstore for my father, so I also want to do my best."

He pointed to the "pile of gifts" behind him that was difficult to ignore: "These are some books in the Prince's Mansion. I hope they can help Miss Xiao to meet her urgent needs."

When Gu Changan turned his head to look at the pile of books, there happened to be a new customer at the door, and the business smile he had tried to squeeze out suddenly froze.

A carriage that he will never forget in his life slowly parked outside the gate, the curtain was lifted, and the senior scholar Gu who came out of it looked particularly energetic today, and Gu Ruoruo was looking at his grandfather wonderingly.

Today she was going to attend Xiao Ning's Jiji ceremony, she was a little excited, she planned to get up before dawn to pick out clothes and accessories, she thought it was already early, but when she passed the yard, she saw the groomed grandpa asking the housekeeper : "How about this body?"

The housekeeper's grandfather looked up at the sky: "Master, this is already your third change of clothes."

He also muttered: "The new clothes made throughout the year are not as good as these few days."

Then the grandpa asked the housekeeper again: "Then, do you think this dress matches my jasper crown better, or the white jade crown?"

Why does she feel that grandpa's behavior today is the same as that of their children during the Chinese New Year, wearing new clothes and jewelry, and asking people if they look good.

When seeing the gazes of grandpa and grandpa meet, Gu Ruoruo felt that she vaguely understood something.

The eyes of the two intersected for only a split second, almost as soon as they met, they each pretended to move away inadvertently, and then Gu Changan stepped forward and bowed to salute: "Welcome..."

He who has always been good at eloquence suddenly ran out of words at this moment, and Master Gu was visibly uncomfortable.

Just as he was in embarrassment, he heard crisp laughter coming from the door.

"Is the grandfather coming?"

Senior Madam Gu turned his head to look, and saw a little girl in pink clothes with bright eyes and white teeth standing on the threshold and smiling at him, then she jumped across the threshold to come to him, kicking him back and forth. I looked around.

"Ah, grandfather and father stand together like brothers!"

Gu Ruoruo's heart tightened, his grandfather was usually serious, the last person who dared to make fun of him, now the house after being ransacked is still empty with long grass, Xiaoxiao is so audacious to hit the gun!
Just planning to help her little friend back, she heard Grandpa say in a tone she had never heard in her life: "You are Xiao Ning, right?"

Xiaoxiao held up her skirt in a serious salute: "Xiao Ning has met grandfather."

"Thank you grandfather for coming to my ceremony. When you come, not only the general's mansion is full of splendor, but even my father's face is flushed, it's hard to hide his joy!"

Gu Chang'an really blushed when he was told, but he didn't refute it.

Gu Dashi gave him a disgusted look: "Your daughter can't speak and understand etiquette yet, what are you doing in a daze, lead the way, do you want your father to stand outside all the time?"

Gu Changan was stunned. When he looked up at his father, his eyes were a little red, but he nodded his head: "Yes, father."

Gu Ruoruo was dumbfounded, and couldn't help giving Xiaoxiao a thumbs-up sneakily.

Xiaoxiao squinted her eyes and smiled: "Hey, there is also my eldest niece! Come, come, I will take you in!"

The eldest niece was annoyed: "It's agreed to be friends of the same generation!"

Xiaoxiao also teased her: "Okay, okay, then let me bring the lovely Miss Ruoruo in?"

She leaned close to Gu Ruoruo's ear and whispered: "There is still a while before the banquet, are you hungry? The kitchen has prepared some snacks for you, would you like some?"

That must be possible!Gu Ruoruo's eyes lit up, and he even forgot the low-key words his grandfather said before he came, he pointed behind him with a small hand and said, "Here, that's a special gift for you from my grandfather."

Xiaoxiao followed her hand and looked, oh, good fellow, a half-carriage book!

The crown prince originally wanted to show off gifts with the idea of ​​being kind, but he was inferior after being compared by the Gu family. Now he couldn't wait for Gu Chang'an to come to greet him again, so he hurriedly walked into the mansion with the servant.

Wait any longer, he can't afford to lose that person.

When the noble ladies arrived, they knew that the prince had already entered, and immediately refused to let him go in. At that time, Gu Changan was greeting the Gu family, and Xiao Ran was enjoying the joy of dressing up her daughter, and couldn't stop.

She was in a good mood at the moment, looking at her daughter's exquisite appearance in the mirror, she couldn't help feeling a desire to show off, so she sneered: "Then let them in, open another table for them, don't let them These idiots are disturbing the guests' pleasure."

After finishing speaking, she raised her hand to smooth Xiaoxiao's temples: "Maybe let them see how the only daughter of my general's mansion looks like a fairy, so cute."
