Such an elegant and restrained outfit must of course be a little more aloof.
Which COS villain has the kind of temperament that never ends?
Jiang Yu was not annoyed that she disliked him, but the smile on his face became deeper and deeper.
It's rare to see this girl blushing, but today she saw it, and her plot succeeded.
The carriage here was finally in place, and Su Wan climbed into the carriage neatly and sat down.
Jiang Yu followed him up slowly and sat opposite her.
The carriage set off for Gu's mansion. Su Wan lay on the window and looked at the busy traffic outside. The sky was getting darker and the wind was getting colder.
Jiang seemed to be in a good mood after meeting the carriage. He placed his hands neatly on his knees and closed his eyes to rest.
It only took half an hour to reach the distance. Gu's house was very big, and Gu Yue had her own separate yard. A banquet had been arranged in the back garden. Mrs. Gu directed her people to move in many famous potted flowers and plants. .
They all knew Murong Sheng's identity. Ever since they knew about his feelings for his daughter, they had treated him as a son-in-law. They had taken good care of him during the time they lived in the house.
This time, I also heard that the eldest son of Jiang Guogong was coming as a guest, so Mrs. Gu arranged everything carefully to entertain the distinguished guests.
Nowadays, Gu Yue's status is naturally not worthy of the fifth prince, but the Gu family's business is doing well and they have opened branches everywhere. The family has a lot of savings. Murong Sheng plans to find Gu Yue a job worthy of him. status, otherwise a merchant girl would not even be able to become a concubine when she married into the royal family, let alone the position of a principal concubine.
Even if he wanted to do it himself, the royal family would criticize him.
However, Su Wan is also coming today, and Yueyue said that her eldest brother is now the number one scholar and has an official position, and Su Wan is also the daughter of an official family. She can't act bossy when she sees her now.
His status has risen unknowingly, and he has become a scholarly family.
Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, people are ranked first because of their eldest brother's reputation.
Moreover, she also won the favor of Prince Jiang, who would eventually become his wife. In order for their family Yueyue to sit in the highest position in the future, she had to put on a low face and apologize to please her.
In fact, Su Wan wanted to come to Gu's house today because she also wanted to see if Mrs. Gu's attitude had changed compared to before. She was looking forward to it when she thought that she would have to treat her warmly now.
When they arrived at the gate of Gu's residence, the servant saw the carriage coming and went in to report it. Murong Sheng and the Gu family came out to greet them in person.
"Prince Jiang, you are finally here. I have been waiting for you for a long time." Murong Sheng greeted him with a smile. Gu Yue followed him and gave Jiang a gift.
When Su Wan saw the fifth prince, he also had to be polite.
First, the two girls looked at each other. Good guys, they were all dressed up carefully, and no one was giving in to the other.
"Greetings to Your Highness!" Jiang Yu bowed to the fifth prince.
Murong Sheng reached out to help him with both hands, full of sincerity.
As long as Jiang Yu himself was not alone with Su Wan, he would naturally put on a mask, be cold, indifferent to everything, and not approachable.
"This is the famous Prince Jiang. I have admired him for a long time. I just heard my daughter talk about your style early this morning. I am so lucky to see you now." Mr. Gu saw the right opportunity and greeted Jiang Yu.
"You're welcome, Mr. Gu." Jiang Yu remained as talkative as last night and cherished his words like gold.
Next, it was Su Wan's turn. Last year they were still a family who loved each other, but then they stopped seeing each other and had an unpleasant quarrel. Now that they see each other again, they really don't know how to deal with it.
"Wan Wan is really getting more and more beautiful." Mr. Gu only said this in the end, and then he left the problem to his wife.
He turned to look at Mrs. Gu and winked at her.
Mrs. Gu smiled awkwardly and thought to herself, it's hard for you to face, but it's easy for me to face. I never thought of asking for help from others before.
However, she still adjusted her manners, stepped forward and said to Su Wan with a smile:
"Wan Wan, I haven't seen you for a long time and I miss you so much. You have grown taller and become more beautiful. You are very, very good!"
Sure enough, this pretense is hereditary. It's too fake. It's really too fake. It's just as fake as Gu Yue.
"Mrs. Gu is getting younger and younger~" Su Wan replied politely.
Jiang Yu's eyes narrowed when he saw her deliberately smiling. It was fake and cute. He couldn't help but slightly curled his lips and snickered, but soon returned to being expressionless.
The Gu family invited the two in and took them to the back garden. They set up two tables in the pavilion, with wine and vegetables on them. There was also a stove burning sandalwood and vases of early winter plum blossoms beside the table. , are all in a budding state, and there are people playing the piano in the dark, which is quite elegant.
Su Wan and Jiang Yu sat together, Murong Sheng and Gu Yue sat opposite, while Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu did not participate in the young man's activities.
Not long after we sat down, a dancer came out to dance, which is a must for a royal banquet.
It's no different from ordinary people's gatherings, where they just drink and talk and have fun. When the royal family entertains guests, singing and dancing are indispensable.
Afterwards, the topics Murong Sheng initiated were all romantic topics, such as what flowers everyone likes, what kind of tea they like to drink, what seasons they like, and what their hobbies are like playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
He probably wanted to find out about Qing Jiangyu's hobbies, so as to deduce his behavior style, and then follow his preferences.
However, when he comes to such occasions, he is relatively cold, as if he is not born to laugh. He cherishes words like gold, and sometimes he speaks word by word.
Su Wan felt bored. The only thing to watch was the songs and dances. Looking at the figures of those dancers, so soft and delicate, she held her head and clicked her tongue in her heart.
Tsk tsk tsk, water snake waist, so wonderful.
In fact, girls also like to look at beautiful women, and she is no exception. She also thinks that in comparison, she knows nothing. She keeps saying that she wants to learn, but never practices it. Shino has never stopped setting the flag, and her actions have never stopped. has not started.
While she was distracted, Gu Yue had already called her several times from the opposite side, and it was only when Jiang Yu gently patted her shoulder that she finally reacted.
Turning his gaze to Gu Yue, he asked:
"What's wrong? I wasn't paying attention just now."
Gu Yue took out a konghou from nowhere and placed it there. The singing and dancing had stopped, and the dancers had all left.
"I haven't been idle this year. I want to learn some music skills. After choosing from many options, I still prefer the konghou. Now I have learned a few songs. I would like you to listen to them for me. Can you?" Gu Yue He looked at Su Wan expectantly and smiled sincerely.
Su Wan's heart skipped a beat, and she sat up straight, thinking to herself, good guy, it's time to roll in, right? Show off your skills, right?
In addition to making a little money this year, she played music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and poetry, but nothing else.
This Gu Yue always wants to overpower her. Damn it, she wants to get involved too. She has to learn some musical instrument and one day she will come back and shock everyone.
"Okay, you play it, and I'll listen and see if that's the case." Su Wan pretended to understand, and said he was determined not to lose.
