Aristocratic Concubine

Chapter 13
There are not many such foundations, and I am afraid that Mrs. Lin will get in the way if she finds out, so Wanqing hurry up and teach as many words as she can. After an hour, she will let Cunxiao go back , Before leaving, let him hide a booklet of tracing red and take it away, let him go back to practice by himself.

After Cunxiao left, Wanqing was thinking about how to get Mama Sun away...

The uncle of the Zhao family was reporting on his work in Beijing, and the concubine brought her two daughters and son to live in the Gu mansion. The eldest aunt also returned to the house the day before, and stayed at home with the concubine for a day of horse hanging. The eldest aunt went back, and the younger daughter Fei But the elder sister refused to leave, the Gu family sisters and the Zhao family two sisters, the little girls set up a poetry club together, playing the piano and doing embroidery, it was very lively.

This day Wanqing went to pay her respects to Mrs. Lin early in the morning, and when she reached the Moon Gate in front of Fenglin Courtyard, she heard a burst of clear and happy laughter.

"The tea-chanting poem written by the fourth younger sister yesterday is really a quatrain, especially the last line: Xie Mei blooms in spring, and the beautiful bloom grabs people's eyes, which is memorable." The voice sounded like Gu Wanrong's.

"Isn't it? When I was in Jiangnan, I often heard my mother say that the fourth younger sister is one of the few talented women in the capital. She has good looks and good character. She is a role model among girls. Now that I haven't seen her for a few years, the younger sister's temperament is even worse. It's elegant and refined." A gentle woman's voice was sweet and waxy, which made people feel comfortable.

"It's fine if the second sister laughs at me, and sister Shu, please forgive me, but it's just for the sisters to make a few poems for fun, but I can't stand it." Gu Wanli was humble once, when she looked back, she saw There was a smug look in her eyes.

"Isn't that the third younger sister? Why are you walking forward alone, and why don't you come over to greet the cousins?" Wanqing was planning to sneak away while the others didn't see her, Gu Wanrong said loudly.

Wanqing slandered in her heart, Gu Wanrong, if you don't say a few words to me, I will die. Except for Zhao Shuyuan who is a few months older than her, Zhao Shuyun is younger than herself, and even her cousin Liu Fang'er is younger than herself. Why? To let myself go to meet...

Bite the bullet, Wanqing smiled and walked over with her head bowed, she really saluted Zhao Shuyuan, Shuyuan hurriedly supported her and said: "They are all sisters from my own family, there is no need to be polite, we have to live in my aunt's house for a long time , if you have to see the ceremony all day long, wouldn't you die from exhaustion?"

Liu Fang'er also smiled when she heard this: "That's right, that's right, speaking of it, only the fourth sister is the youngest here, and we are all older sisters. If we have to follow the etiquette, the fourth sister's waist will probably be broken."

These words made Gu Wanli's face turn blue. Speaking of which, she never really regarded Wanqing and Wanrong as older sisters. She always raised her chin when she saw them. Where did she ever salute? Wanrong's words were clear It's about Wanqing, but it's actually more embarrassing for her, she couldn't help giving Gu Wanrong a look.

As soon as Liu Fang'er's words came out, Gu Wanrong also knew that she was wrong, so she hurriedly changed the subject: "Third sister, only the fourth sister's poem, did you hear it? You come to comment and see which word is used the most in the fourth sister's poem Good." As she said, she raised her eyebrows and looked at Wanqing.

In Wanqing's memory, the original owner couldn't even recognize the characters. Except for Gu Wanrong, none of the concubine girls in the mansion had gone to boudoir school. That's why Gu Wanrong deliberately stabbed her with these words to make her To make a fool of herself among several cousins, Wanrong herself didn't learn much, but she was a little better than Wanqing. Although she wanted to flatter the Lin family, people like the Lin family, except for a few of her own direct relatives, treated her well. A concubine, no matter how good it is, how good could it be?
These Zhao Shuyuans didn't know about them, they only thought that the Gu family was a scholarly family, Wanrong Wanli's poems were passable, and Wanqing shouldn't be bad, so they all looked at Wanqing expectantly.

Gu Wanli naturally knew Wanqing's background, so she squinted at her.

Wanqing smiled lightly and said: "The fourth younger sister is among the sisters, no matter the poems or female celebrities, they are the first ones. I am usually very stupid. As for those poems and words, they recognize me. I don't know them, second sister, don't make me a laughing stock, let me comment on poems, it's not as real as embroidery."

When Gu Wanli heard this, she really had an expression that I knew was the same, and she didn't say anything about Wanqing, she just pulled Shuyuan and the others forward, with a look of disdain for being with Wanqing.

Liu Fang'er laughed when she heard this: "Sister Qing, you don't like those people any more than I do. If you want me to love poetry, I might as well play a horse hanging with my mother."

Wanqing liked Liu Fang'er's straightforward nature a bit, "Sister Fang, we can be regarded as bosom friends."

"Haha, isn't it? Third sister, let's play together and let them chant poems to the sun." Liu Fang'er smiled and took Wanqing's hand, making Gu Wanrong's face stiff with her affectionate look .

"Third sister, why should you be modest? You are obviously good at writing and composing poems. Otherwise, why would brother Xuan give you a knife of rice paper? You are also sisters. Why don't you give it to me and fourth sister?"

Wanqing frowned when she heard that, how did she know that Zhao Yuxuan gave her rice paper?Thinking and sighing, besides Bicao, who in my yard is really loyal to me?It's too easy for Gu Wanrong to know what's going on in her yard.

As soon as those words came out, except for Gu Shuyun, all the girls changed their faces. Gu Wanli's face darkened the fastest, and the eyes that looked at Wanqing were about to burst into flames.But Liu Fang'er unnaturally let go of Wanqing's hand, and the smile on her face was a little sour, while Zhao Shuyuan's eyes were fixed.

"Did Cousin Xuan give me the paper because he wanted me to learn poetry? I didn't know it. I was holding a tree branch to draw a turtle on the ground. Cousin Xuan somehow saw it and gave me half a knife." , said it was damaged by Mingxiang dropping it on the ground, and throwing it away was throwing it away, so I gave it to me to draw and play." Wanqing pretended not to see the expressions of everyone, and said naturally.

As soon as I heard that Wanqing was drawing a turtle, even Gu Wanli had a smile on her face. Although the look in Wanqing's eyes was not disdainful, it was also devoid of hostility. She was very satisfied with Wanqing's spirit of entertaining others by humiliating herself .

Zhao Shuyuan smiled and said: "My elder brother is the most gentle and kind. Xu thought that the third younger sister was eager to learn and was reluctant to bear paper, so I gave this to my younger sister. If the sisters also like it, I will ask my elder brother to give you a knife and two knives tomorrow." In the past, my mother also liked girls with a bookish atmosphere, and the sisters will be together in the future, and they can discuss more with each other."
