Peach Blossom at the Bottom of the Fan

Chapter 69

Unable to suppress the shock, Gu Sixiao stared blankly at Hu Wanwan, unable to look away. Fortunately, all the people in the room were looking at this little lady Hu who was said to have a ladylike demeanor in surprise. She didn't notice Gu Sixiao's gaffe at all.

"Which Mrs. Zhang? But that Mrs. Zhang who has the style of the forest and the talent of willow catkins?"

Hearing the male voice suddenly asking, everyone noticed that Gu Yong had entered the upper room at some point.

Zhang's eyes flickered, and he looked at Gu Yong who was staring at Hu Wanwan, but he just smiled and didn't speak.

That Caiyi stood up, went up to Gu Yong, and called softly: "Official..."

He tilted his body and was about to fall into Gu Yong's arms, but Gu Yong had already passed by.

Caiyi's figure flickered, and she barely stood up, but unconsciously touched her lower back with her backhand, not knowing if she had slipped to her waist.

Snorting through her nose, Aunt Liu looked at Caiyi disdainfully, but did not salute Gu Yong.

Anyway, she is just saluting at this moment, and the officials probably won't see it.

On the other side, Hu Wanwan lowered her head, avoiding Gu Yongzhuo's gaze, as if she was embarrassed by being looked at.

But when she lowered her head like this, half of her pink neck was revealed, her pink and tender neck seemed to be deliberately catching someone's gaze.

Gu Yong stared at that part of the pink neck, as well as the small and exquisite ears shaped like shells, his eyes were already blurred.

"This bowing style is just like a white lotus that hangs its head slightly when the wind passes..."

With a smile on her lips, Hu Wanwan raised her head, glanced at Gu Yong quickly, and lowered her head again.

It was just a glance, but the coquettishness of that glance, shyness and timidity, but also full of joy, is really seductive.

Gu Yong felt as if his heart was being scratched by a cat, and his heart itched unbearably.If it weren't for the people around him, he would really have stepped forward to shake the beautiful woman's hand, and talk about the moon.

"Sure enough, she has the style of Mrs. Zhang!"

Gu Yong clapped his hands in praise, speaking so complacently.

Gu Sixiao raised her lips and smiled mockingly.

This woman has the style of a lady? !I'm afraid Gu Yong has never met Mrs. Zhang, right?
Although she is well-known and often participates in poetry gatherings, Mrs. Zhang is not someone who can meet whenever she wants.

The people who associate with Mrs. Zhang are either famous Confucian scholars or talented scholars with extraordinary talents.

At the beginning, her elder brother Gu Liubai made friends with Mrs. Zhang because of his excellent calligraphy and painting skills, he is famous not only in Songjiang, but also in Jiangnan.

And she also had a relationship with Mrs. Zhang because of a fine brushwork peony.

Even though Mrs. Zhang had been blamed by her before and felt that she had implicated her elder brother, she had to praise her, she was a heroine.

The most impressive thing about that talented woman who is well-known in Shilin is not only her talent, but also her boldness and heroism.Although she is a woman, she does not have the tenderness of ordinary women, but has a kind of arrogance that ordinary husbands do not have.

That valiant and heroic figure is like kapok, although Gu Sixiao has never seen it before, but Mrs. Zhang said that it is a towering giant tree. When the flowers bloom, the tree is full of red flowers, which are as dazzling as a bath of blood.

In front of this delicate, charming and even contrived Hu Wanwan, how does she look like Mrs. Zhang? !
Sneering in her heart, Gu Sixiao lowered her head, hiding the disdain in her eyes.

This group of people who have never met Mrs. Zhang probably think that a talented woman should be like Hu Wanwan, right?
"Miss, I think this Miss Hu is soft-tempered, gentle and docile, she is indeed a good daughter of a scholarly family..."

The most important thing is probably the shameful yet seductive look in the eyebrows and eyes, right?
She sneered in her heart, but Mrs. Zhang said softly: "The official is right, I also like Miss Hu very much..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Gu Yong had already said: "Scholar's House, we can't wrong Miss Hu, I think otherwise we can make an appointment, and let Miss Hu come in."

After saying a word, the smile on Zhang's face froze.

Although there are also concubines from a good family, there are precedents for hiring and marrying concubines, but she has chosen thousands of choices, not for the purpose of getting a concubine from a good family to embarrass her.

Mrs. Zhang didn't respond for a long time, but Hu Wanwan was short and bowed down gracefully.

"Officer, thank you for your pity. It's just that my concubine has already agreed to sell herself into the house before, so I must not be that kind of person who turns back on what he says and doesn't have faith."

Wiping the corners of her eyes, she mourned: "My father passed away, and the family has borrowed countless debts to treat the deceased father. Although the little girl has no skills to make money, the debts owed must be repaid. Even if she sells herself as a concubine or slave The concubine has to pay off all her debts. Now, to be able to sell into a scholarly family like the Gu family, you have to meet a gentle and considerate man like an official..."

Speaking of this, her voice lowered a little, she lowered her head, with a shy expression on her face.

"The lady is a kind person, and the officials are so sympathetic to the concubine, the concubine is already very satisfied - I only hope that the officials will be more sympathetic to the concubine in the future, the concubine will..."

Without going on, she raised her head halfway, and her winking eyes were like silk, which instantly hooked Gu Yong's heart and soul.

Breathing a bit rough, Gu Yong looked at Hu Wanwan excitedly, then stood up suddenly, and supported Hu Wanwan with both hands.

"How can I, Gu Yonghe De, be able to get such a loving and righteous beauty as the little lady! The heavens have mercy on me, so I have this blessing..."

"Officer..." Jiao Didi called out, their eyes met, the two seemed to be infatuated with each other, and they were silent.

"Cough..." Mrs. Zhang coughed heavily, seeing the two separated in shock, she smiled and looked at Gu Yong.

"Officer," Gu Yong rolled her eyes, and teased, "The meat is rotten in the pot. It's yours. Are you afraid that she might escape?"

Gu Yong's face became hot, and he felt a little embarrassed.

Holding Hu Wanwan back with a smile, Mrs. Zhang said softly, "My good sister, I know you have a poor background, and I feel sorry for you ten times more. Don't worry, as long as I'm here, no one in the Gu family will neglect you."

Turning her head, she looked at Gu Yong and said with a smile, "I've already made up my mind, so I'll ask Sister Hu and Sister Feng to live together. Both of them have good temperaments and get along with each other. I told Mum Xu that we're going to live in that room. Clean up the house, and let sister Hu move in after it's done. For the next few days, sister will stay with me..."

"My wife loves you so much, her name is Wanwan..." Choking with sobs, Hu Wanwan took off her handkerchief to wipe away her tears, even if she was crying, she cried so tenderly that I felt sorry for you.

Seeing Gu Yong and his wife surrounded Hu Wanwan with pity and love, Caiyi had already exploded with anger.

Covering her stomach, she opened her mouth and was about to cry out in pain, but Gu Sixiao suddenly pinched her behind her.

"What are you doing?" Turning her head and glaring at Gu Sixiao fiercely, she said bitterly, "Damn girl, are you out of your mind?! Go away, don't get in my way!"

"Sister Caiyi, do you really want to scream? You're not afraid of being laughed at!"

Turning his head to look, Caiyi immediately stopped talking.

She didn't want to scream anymore, she just raised her chin and stared at Liu Shi.

Liu Shi, who was looking at Caiyi with a smile, didn't take it seriously, but turned away with a sneer.

This Caiyi is a fool, not as shrewd as the girl beside her.From now on, if that girl is no longer by my side, it will be even more useless.

Relying on the child in her belly to show off her prestige!How long can you do it?And look.

On the contrary, this new Hu family is not a simple person!I'm afraid, is a strong opponent.

It's just that, in the final analysis, they fought back and forth just to let Mrs. Zhang see a joke!

That vicious woman deliberately circled them together to make them fight, right? !OK!They fight, but you Mrs. Zhang want to sit on the wall and watch, don't think about it!

But for a moment, in a room, everyone's minds have been turned back and forth, each with their own plans.

Hu Wanwan was still wiping tears, but Mrs. Wu got up and came over, laughing and clapping her hands, "If you want me to say, Mr. Gu is lucky to have a beautiful woman! Mrs. Hu met such a good official and Mrs. Master, it is also a blessing! As a matchmaker, I can witness this scene of love and righteousness with my own eyes today, and I am even more blessed if I have done the good deeds of the two families! We are all blessed..."

"It's a blessing, a blessing." Gu Yong murmured in a low voice, but his eyes kept staring at Hu Wanwan. A man in his 40s turned into a goose at this moment.

Mrs. Zhang stared at Gu Yong coldly, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a trace of contempt, but only for a moment, she showed a gentle smile again.

"Okay, officer, don't look at it! Look again, sister Hu is really going to be shy. Well, I see, let's stop here for today! Everyone should leave! We will have dinner together in a few days. Let sister Hu have a good rest for now."

"That's right, that's right..." Gu Yong hurriedly responded, "Lan Xiang, go to the kitchen and order to add more food tonight, and I'll accompany the lady to eat here."

Mrs. Zhang didn't expose it, but just smiled softly, as if she really got the favor.

"Officer," she couldn't help crying after all, Caiyi bit her lip, and said aggrievedly: "Officer, please help me and my wife to intercede!"

Seeming to have just seen Caiyi, Gu Yong asked strangely: "What are you begging for? What happened again?"

Caiyi gritted her teeth with hatred, but still begged in a low voice: "Mother Xu found a rough girl from somewhere, and said she asked her to serve me. Officer, you know that I can't live without Huaer, help me I beg my lady, don't drive Hua'er away!"

Gu Yong blinked and turned to look at Mrs. Zhang.Mrs. Zhang didn't feel annoyed, just smiled.

"Who wants to drive Hua'er away? Caiyi, I can't understand what you're saying! Officer, Hua'er was originally a girl in the back study, so it's only natural for her to stay in the back study to serve her! As for Caiyi Speaking of which, I really don’t know, why? Did Caiyi have to be served by girls in the past?”

Opening his mouth, Gu Yong was a little speechless.

In the back study, Caiyi was like a master and Hua'er was her girl, most of the people in the house knew about this.It's just that this kind of thing can be done but not said.

Speaking of which, what's the matter if a girl wants to be served by a girl?He will only be laughed at for taking care of his family.

Turning his gaze, Gu Yong felt even more embarrassed when he met Hu Wanwan's curious gaze.

Really, from a good family like Wanwan, she would definitely feel that their family has no rules.

Frowning, he looked at Caiyi, and said in a deep voice: "Caiyi, stop messing around! It's all right if you have a girl serving you! It's not the same whoever serves you? All right, all right, go back and rest Come on! I don’t even think about you being a twin and still messing around like this.”

Being scolded like this, Caiyi was angry and hated, but she didn't dare to argue with Gu Yong in front of people.

She raised her eyes and squinted at Hu Wanwan.

She secretly resented in her heart that all the men have newcomers and forget the old ones, this hasn't really been done yet!Just forget about her.

No, the more you fail, the more tempting you will be.

Gritting her teeth, Caiyi turned around and pushed Gu Sixiao hard.Gu Sixiao was unprepared, and was pushed to the ground by her all of a sudden.

"Hua'er, tell yourself, do you want to follow me!?"
