famous eldest daughter

Chapter 304 Age
Upon hearing this, Gu Yuqing's face turned red with embarrassment. She turned around and glared at Jixiang angrily, then turned around and walked back with her handkerchief on.

Ji Xiang followed beside him, winking and giggling with Ruyi.

All the way back to Tongyuan, the autumn wind in the night was chilly, blowing away the charming ripples in Gu Yuqing's heart, clearing her mind, her thoughts finally moved away from Xiao Yu, and fell on Jiji ceremony a few days later.

It is the custom of this dynasty for a girl to have hairpins at the age of fifteen.

Gu Yuqing has always claimed that she is 13 years old, but she calculates her age according to her mother's habits and the old customs in Qibei. The first year of birth is not counted as age, but the second year is regarded as the first year, and so on.

Therefore, Gu Yuqing is essentially one year older than his peers.

According to Kyoto customs, she is already fourteen now, and will turn fifteen when her birthday passes.

Thinking about this, Gu Yuqing really had a headache.

Everyone thought she was only 13 years old this year, but she wanted to give her a haircut, and the guests who didn't know why would probably laugh out loud.

In order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, Gu Yuqing specifically wrote down the customs and habits of Qibei clearly on the invitation posts sent to the guests.

Fortunately, there were not many guests invited, so he finished writing in just half an hour. Rubbing his sore wrist, he put down the wolf-hair brush in his hand. Gu Yuqing picked up the teacup at hand and took a sip to calm down.

Writing is not hard work, but writing the same thing over and over again is boring.

Due to the unpleasantness between Gu Yuqing and sisters Dong Xueruo and Dong Xueyi at the previous banquets, she was originally unwilling to invite the Dong family, but it was just because of the face of Concubine Hui and Xiao Yu. After much deliberation, she decided to invite the Dong family. post.

But when it was Dong Xueyi's turn, Gu Yuqing was in trouble.

I vaguely heard that there was a deep rift between Bai and Dong Xueyi. Dong Xueyi was even forced by Bai to move out and live in another place. Under such circumstances, it was naturally not possible for the two of them to meet, but... one could not invite one of them. Just leave the other side alone!
Rubbing the center of her eyebrows, Gu Yuqing felt melancholy for herself. At the same time, she felt sorry for Xiao Yu for a moment, why did she end up with such a foreigner.

Xiao Duo's uncle was the Minister of the Ministry of War, and he held certain military power, which was of great help to Xiao Duo.

What made Gu Yuqing especially unexpected was that Xiao Duo took the initiative to testify against He Wenyue in the Ecstasy Pill incident, which made His Majesty angry and sent He Wenyue to the border. However, his uncle He Jingzhong did not have any sympathy for Xiao Duo because of this incident. Alienation.

As for Xiao Yi, although he has no family to help him, there are advantages to not having it, which saves him a lot of trouble. Unlike Xiao Yu, his uncle's family is obviously a drag.

There were still a few days left before Zuo Ji posted the post. He couldn't think of a proper way to deal with it for a while. Gu Yuqing simply put it aside and didn't think about it. He only focused on what Xiao Yu said in the living room just now.

Xiao Yu said that the Boy Scouts were owned by Chu Tiange, and even the Emperor of South Vietnam did not know about it.

In other words, it was Chu Tiange's own will to send spies into Gusu Mansion. Or, in other words, the South Vietnamese court did not know that Chu Tiange used this method to insert spies into Gusu Mansion. of.

Gu Yuqing felt his scalp numb just thinking about such a special group.

However, Chu Tiange accompanies him day and night. The Boy Scouts are Chu Tiange's private property. No matter where he goes, these people must follow him secretly.

So...at this time, in a certain corner of Kyoto, they should be hiding in a dark place unknown to anyone, waiting to serve Chu Tiange at any time.

It's easy to catch Mu He alone, but the common purpose of Xiao Yu and her is to find the hiding places of these people through Mu He and Chu Tianzhi, and catch them all.

At this time, all she could do was to make all preparations. She just waited for Chu Tiange to be released from the prison. Xiao Yu said it was easy and left him to take charge of this matter. Although she did not doubt Xiao Yu's ability, after all, in her In her heart, Xiao Yu was no longer the prince who seemed to be unlearned, unskilled, and unruly. The other side of him that was unknown to the public was revealed to her without reservation.

Thinking of this, Gu Yuqing couldn't help but feel ripples in his heart, but in the end he was still curious about how he should behave in front of His Majesty so that he could achieve his goal without leaving any trace.

Jixiang Ruyi sucked off the wet ink on the posts with fine sand, and then gently blew them a few times before putting them away one by one.

When Gu Yuqing was thinking about something, they silently worked on their own tasks, not daring to disturb them. When Gu Yuqing took a deep breath and the seriousness in the corners of her eyes and brows disappeared, Jixiang smiled and said what she was holding in her heart, " It turns out that according to Kyoto’s calculation, the young lady is already 14 years old this year!”

Gu Yuqing's eyebrows were curved, and she nodded with a slight smile.

Ji Xiang murmured and sighed, "No wonder the lady is so thoughtful and considerate in everything she does. It turns out that the lady is already 14 years old!"

Ruyi burst out laughing when she heard the words, "It sounds like you were so smart when you were 14 years old."

Jixiang was choked by her, but he was not annoyed. He just gave her a blank look and said, "One year older, after all, it's different."

Ruyi said: "Young lady was only eight years old when she took charge of the family. At that time, she was already shouldering everything!"

Ji Xiang knew that he could not say what he wanted, so he stuck out his tongue and blinked his eyes and said: "How can I compare with Miss..." After saying that, he paused and said with a long tone, "No, according to the Kyoto algorithm, At that time, the young lady was nine years old."

Eight years old, nine years old, ten 34, ten 45...

Gu Yuqing herself found it troublesome. One can imagine how focused the topics among the guests would be on the day of her wedding banquet. I am afraid that just because of her age, they would be able to talk about it all day long.

The three masters and servants were talking, and the color screen reported outside, "Miss, Mrs. Xu from the kitchen wants to see you."

When Gu Yuqing heard this, he couldn't help but look at Ruyi with a hint of smile in his eyes.

Sure enough, as she expected!
"Bring her in!"

Not bothering to get up and go to the outer room, Gu Yuqing directly called her into the bedroom.

When Mrs. Xu came in, Gu Yuqing was leaning on a pillow on the bed, with a lazy posture and a leisurely expression. Jixiang was sitting on the embroidered pillar beside the bed, gently squeezing her legs, while Ruyi held a tray in his hand and talked to her. We met, passed each other, and walked out.

"Come here at this time, are you busy?" Gu Yuqing glanced sideways at Mrs. Xu and said.

Normally, Gu Yuqing would order someone to move a small embroidered pillar to sit on when a respectable servant girl in the mansion came to reply, but today she seemed to have completely forgotten about it. She didn't mention it, glanced at Mrs. Xu, and then walked around minding her own business. There is a bright green bracelet on the wrist, as if seeing it for the first time, looking at it carefully.

Mrs. Xu lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes, and quickly scanned the room. When she saw that there was no small embroidered pier to sit on, she felt a little unhappy. But because she had something to report, she had to suppress her tone, salute with a smile, and said: "Miss morning I asked my servant about my wife and the hairpin ceremony back then. After I returned home, I thought about it carefully and found a few omissions, so I came back to report it to the lady."
