The eldest lady has no taboos in what she does

After Gu Wenjun had eaten, he did not go back to read immediately. Instead, he went for a walk in the small garden. From a distance, he saw Gu Qingyue standing in front of the flower bed, kicking the flowers and plants planted in the ground.

"Yue'er, what's wrong with you?"

When Gu Qingyue turned around, Gu Wenjun realized that her face was wet with tears.

"Yue'er, okay, why are you crying? If something happened to you, tell your elder brother, and he will give you advice and make the decision for you."

Gu Qingyue's tears fell even harder, "Brother, I, I miss my mother so much. I haven't seen my mother for a long time. She must also be worried about brother. She, she didn't do anything wrong. She didn't do anything wrong back then. It was also because of my eldest brother that I mistrusted others. It has been so long, why is dad still unwilling to let mom go?"

Gu Wenjun missed her mother, and her frown relaxed a little.

"Silly Yue'er, my grandfather and father must have their own reasons for doing this, but they won't keep mum like this all the time. I secretly asked my second aunt, and she said that I didn't wrong my mother even in terms of food and clothing. I don’t have much freedom of movement. It won’t be long before my mother comes out.”

Gu Qingyue stamped her feet and said: "When mother comes out, I will marry that reckless man. She, she doesn't know anything and just talks nonsense. Am I going to marry a vulgar and reckless man just based on her words?"

Gu Wenjun was confused. Why marry a reckless man? Why didn't he know?

"How is this going?"

"That's Lin Huai. My great-aunt and grandma said he was good. My father and grandfather wanted me to marry him. She has never seen what he is like. He is just a forbidden soldier. He is not good at all. He can't even write a poem. , if I marry him, I would rather hang myself from the rafters with a straw rope."

Gu Wenjun knew about Lin Huai and his character. Although Lin Huai served in the Forbidden Army, he was admitted as a scholar at the beginning. Later, because he liked martial arts, he did not continue to take the merit examination and entered the Forbidden Army formation.

But when he saw that Gu Qingyue was so disgusted with Lin Huai, he did not say anything good or bad about him. Instead, he said: "My sister doesn't like this marriage. I can go and tell my father. He knows your thoughts and will not force you." .”

When Gu Qingyue heard this, her tears stopped instantly. She knew that his eldest brother would listen to her, and it was not in vain that she had stood here feeding mosquitoes for so long.

"Brother, you are so kind."

Gu Wenjun smiled lovingly. In his eyes, his sister is his younger sister no matter how old she is. "Don't feel bad, silly girl. Go back quickly. There are many mosquitoes outside."

"Well, okay, sister Yaqi invites me to go to the teahouse to listen to a play tomorrow. I have to go back to bed early."

Gu Wenjun looked at her leaving figure and shook his head. After thinking about it, he turned around and headed towards Gu Mingde's yard.

Early the next morning.

Gu Qingyue dressed up carefully and went out with her maid.

Today she and some of her sisters made an appointment to go to a teahouse to listen to a play. She heard that the young master from the Zhu family would also go, but she didn't know if it was true.

Gu Qingyue arrived at the teahouse with great expectations. Her cousin Gu Yaqi had already arrived.

"Sister Yue is really beautiful today. You can see that she has put a lot of effort into dressing up."

Gu Yaqi's father, Gu Mingshun, is Gu Mingsheng's younger brother. He is very smart and has a business mind. Gu Mingshun has a lot of credit for the reason why their business is so generous.

As Gu Mingshun's daughter, Gu Yaqi wants to have the best of both worlds. When she has nothing to do, she will spend money to entertain sisters with whom she has good relationships, and show off her newly bought clothes and Zhu Chai jewelry.

Gu Qingyue glanced at the Confucian skirt Gu Yaqi was wearing, and saw that it was newly made, with several pearls embroidered on it.

She looked away with some sourness, "Sister, don't talk nonsense, isn't this how I usually am?"

Gu Yaqi curled her lips and said to herself, "Don't I know what you are like?"

Isn't it just for that person that you are dressed like this today?

After a few girls of similar age sat down after saying polite words to each other, there was a commotion on the first floor of the teahouse. “This is Master Zhu. Master Zhu is here.”

The movement downstairs made the reserved and dignified girls upstairs get up and go to the porch to take a look.

From a distance, I saw a man wearing a light cyan round-neck wide-sleeved robe, a white jade crown on his head, and a tall man walking in. He was the eldest son of the Zhu family, Zhu Minyu. After King Ling suffered from physical problems, , and instantly became the dream man that all the ladies in Xijing most wanted to marry.

Zhu Minyu raised his head slightly and scanned the corridor on the second floor. He paused slightly at a certain place before lowering his eyes.

And the direction where his eyes stopped was exactly where Gu Qingyue and the others were.

Gu Qingyue felt that her heart was about to jump out of her throat.

Did Young Master Zhu see her just now?

Gu Qingyue, who was so excited, didn't even notice Gu Mengyin, who was leaning on the edge of the wooden corridor with a lazy look on her face.

"It's not that the snacks in this teahouse are delicious, why haven't they been served after so long?"

"Wait a moment, great-aunt, she will be here soon."

Gu Wenjun, who prided himself on being romantic, smiled brightly at the young lady on the opposite porch.

The young lady glanced at him shyly, and both of them had eyes drawn to each other.

When Gu Wenbin wanted to go over to make further progress, Gu Mengyin hooked his fingers and pulled him to a chair and sat down.

"They are all rotten peach blossoms, be careful to suck all your yang energy away."

Gu Wenbin's face tightened and he suddenly became honest.

Soon, the waiter came up with tea and snacks.

"Two guests, all the snacks you requested are here. Please use them at your leisure."

Gu Wenbin took out a few copper coins to reward him and asked: "I heard that your teahouse has a special skill of changing faces. Will you perform it today?"

The waiter happily accepted the reward, "Yes, yes, there are performances on the first and fifteenth day of every month. Today is exactly the fifteenth day. You two, wait a moment, the performance will start soon."

Gu Mengyin was eating snacks boredly, not interested in the performance at all. If she hadn't heard from Gu Wenbin that Yan Linyuan would leave the palace today, and this was the only way back to the palace, she would never have come.

When the snacks were almost finished, the emcee walked to the stage in the lobby on the first floor.

"Welcome everyone to come to the teahouse to watch our performance today. Madams, ladies, gentlemen, and gentlemen who have watched our performance before should all know that we are the best at face-changing. Today, we are still performing face-changing, but with It’s different from before.”

"Oh? What's the difference?" You politely answered from below.

The master of ceremonies smiled mysteriously, "All guests will know after you see it."

After the emcee came off the stage, a man wearing a colorful toga, with long hair and slender eyes walked onto the stage.

Gu Mengyin initially just glanced at him in boredom, but when she saw the man's appearance clearly, she whispered softly and slowly sat up straight.
