Gu Yunzhen's horoscope is weak, her body and soul are weak, and she is easily struck by evil spirits, so her luck and yang energy are most easily plundered. She is the most suitable candidate.
"That's enough." Gu Yunzhen interrupted Gu Yunmeng, her expression still so gentle, "Third sister, I have reached the age of marriage."
According to Dajing’s customs, Jigui represents a girl’s adulthood.
"I have made up my mind."
The last six words were soft but firm.
There was silence all around.
Gu Yunyan's eyes widened slightly, and a rare smile froze on her face. She looked at Gu Yunzhen's expression, which was three parts disappointed, three parts shocked, and three parts faintly sighed. She said softly, "Big sister, you disappoint me so much!"
As the last word fell, the golden aura around Gu Yunzhen began to boil more violently, like gushing magma, entangled with Gu Yunzhen.
Even the brilliance of the rising sun pales in comparison to her luck.
Gu Yunzhen's pupils twitched, a look of confusion appeared in his eyes, and his bare hands tightly grasped the handkerchief.
"Don't be disappointed all the time. Who do you think you are?" Gu Yanfei's cold voice sounded again, with a mocking arc at the corner of his lips. His tone was direct and sharp. "Do you want to control others, or do you want to manipulate others?"
"Just take care of yourself!"
What's wrong with Gu Yun'er? She has to mold others like clay into the shape she wants!
"..." Gu Yun'er frowned slightly, thinking that Gu Yanfei was simply incomprehensible, or perhaps she just couldn't stand seeing others doing better than her.
Did Gu Yanfei ever think that if Gu Yunzhen failed to marry Murong Yong, it would be difficult for her to find another similar marriage?
If Gu Yunzhen were to gamble for the sake of "getting married" now, he would only regret it for the rest of his life.
The world is much harsher on women than on men. Apart from getting married, Gu Yunzhen has no other way out.
She is different from me!
Gu Yanfei's eyes were calm, his big dark eyes were like a vast galaxy, and he once again captured Gu Yun'er's momentary detachment and superiority.
The other person's eyes seemed to say that she was different from others, as if she knew that she was the favorite of heaven and the child of destiny! Gu Yanfei seemed to be thinking about something, and continued with every word clearly: "Gu Yun is really not your big sister."
"Her last name is Gu."
"What's your last name? Do you want me to remind you?"
"If you want an ideal eldest sister, go to Huaibei, where your cousins are."
"And your dear father and dear brother."
"Don't look for your relatives in our Gu family."
When saying this, Gu Yanfei's tone was flat, and his gaze seemed casual yet free and easy, with natural elegance, gracefulness and elegance.
"..."Gu Yun'er's face turned pale due to Gu Yanfei's scolding, and a rare look of resentment appeared on her face, feeling embarrassed, angry, and anxious.
For her, her ignoble origin is her fatal flaw.
Every time I mention this incident, it feels like a scar that had healed with great difficulty was torn open with blood.
Gu Yanfei hid his right hand under the stone table, quickly drew a talisman in the air, and then pretended to pat Gu Yunzhen's back and slapped the talisman on her body. A faint stream of light flashed into Gu Yunzhen's body without anyone noticing.
Feeling Gu Yanfei's hand gently caressing his back, Gu Yunzhen's slightly confused look instantly became firm again, his gaze as clear as water.
"Third sister, this is my life." Gu Yunzhen looked at Gu Yunmeng who was a few steps away and said seriously.
This is her life, and she should decide it herself, instead of being held hostage by other people's words.
Gu Yanfei also smiled.
She saw that the white aura around Gu Yunzhen, which had long since dimmed, became thicker at this moment, and the golden aura wrapped around her body quickly retreated as if it had been electrocuted.
It was as if something had completely severed the connection between the two of them, cutting them off in two.
“…” Gu Yunmeng stared at Gu Yunzhen in a daze, feeling extremely disappointed and heartbroken.
The current Gu Yunzhen is no longer the big sister she knew.
In that case, she won't persuade him anymore.
"It's up to you." Gu Yunyan uttered these three words, turned around without any reluctance, and left.
She was a little absent-minded and forgot that there were stone steps next to the pavilion. She missed a step and fell forward.
The wide cloak was blown up by the morning breeze, like a colorful butterfly falling from flowers.
"Girl, be careful?!" Xia Lianhua exclaimed in horror and hurriedly tried to help Gu Yunyan.
The food box in her hand fell to the ground, broke open, and the pastries inside were scattered all over the floor.
But Xia Lian was still a step too late. Gu Yun'er had already fallen to her knees, and her forehead hit the stone pier next to her, making a "bang" sound.
"Girl, your forehead..." Xia Lian helped Gu Yunyan up from the ground and looked at her forehead with heartache. The left corner of her forehead was hit by a stone pillar and had a red and swollen bump.
Gu Yun'er's hair became a little messy after the fall, with a few strands of hair falling on her temples.
Gu Yunzhen couldn't help but stand up and look in the direction of Gu Yunmeng. Seeing that she was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let's go." Gu Yunmeng, supported by Xia Lian, walked away with a slightly unsteady step, never looking back at Gu Yunzhen.
Looking at her leaving back, Gu Yanfei tilted his cheek slightly as if he had realized something.
Gu Yunman is the girl of destiny, blessed by heaven. Anyone who harms Gu Yunman will be retaliated by heaven, even though she just pushed Gu Yunman's golden energy away from Gu Yunzhen last time and her hand was burned red.
Therefore, Gu Yanfei knew that he must not confront Gu Yunmen head-on.
The talisman she had just drawn on Gu Yunzhen's back was not an offensive talisman, but just a calming talisman.
The purpose of this meditation talisman is to make Gu Yunzhen's faith stronger, keep his original heart, and not be affected by external forces.
In other words, Gu Yunzhen is no longer the "most ideal" eldest sister in Gu Yunmeng's mind.
Gu Yanfei raised her eyebrows and murmured almost silently, "When my elder sister was four years old, she was playing with Gu Yunmeng. They fell down the stairs and Gu Yunmeng used her as a cushion and injured her forehead..."
Gu Yunmeng "gave up" Gu Yunzhen.
From now on, Gu Yunzhen will no longer protect her from disasters.
Even, all the disasters that Gu Yunzhen had prevented for her in the past should be returned to her one by one.
Even if Gu Yunmeng is a favorite of heaven, he will probably be unlucky for a while.
Interesting! Gu Yanfei curled his lips, his eyes sparkling, and looked towards the east with his chin slightly raised.
In the sky above, the red sun was just rising slowly from the horizon.
The first ray of sunlight in the early morning gently sprinkled on the earth, almost illuminating the entire capital city.
It also includes Murong Mansion located in the north of the city.
The first ray of sunlight shone into the old lady's room through the hazy window paper. The little maid in blue who was on night watch opened her eyes drowsily and found that it was daybreak.
The little maidservant yawned sleepily, subconsciously looked towards the window, and sighed to the other maidservant in blue: "Sister Haitang, the sun is so bright today."
The maid in blue was also dozing off just now. She rubbed her eyes with a handkerchief and said vaguely, "Yes, it's a sunny day... Eh? The sun is shining into this room today?"
The maid in blue belatedly looked towards the window that was illuminated by the sunlight.
Then, the two looked at each other.
I don’t know if it’s because the house faces a bad direction or the trees outside are blocking the sunlight, but this room never gets any sunlight and is always unusually dark.
"Oh, it's already past the middle of the morning." The little maid looked at the leaking kettle and quickly got up from the stool, "We have to wash the old lady's face and turn her over."
Old Madam Murong has been bedridden for many years. The doctors have instructed that in order to prevent the patient from developing bedsores, she should be turned over every half hour.
The maid in blue also stood up quickly. Both of them moved very skillfully. They first washed Madam Murong's face with warm water, then turned her flat body over and patted her back.
The little maidservant patted the old lady twice with her palm. When her eyes swept across her neck, her face changed drastically. She pointed at the back of her neck with trembling fingers and said, "Sister Haitang, look...what is this?"
Dark purple spots appeared from the back of Madam Murong's neck to her back. The small ones were about the size of copper coins, and the large ones were nearly as big as fists. They looked shocking on the old woman's almost deathly pale skin.
"This...this can't be bedsores, right?" the blue-clothed maid asked in a trembling voice, but a voice in her heart was saying, no, this is not bedsores, it's more like...livor mortis.
The little maidservant was so frightened that she almost lost her soul. If anything happened to the old lady, they would have no way to explain themselves.
"I'll go to the front and report to the master and mistress." The little maid ran out of the inner room like a gust of wind. She lifted up the thick brocade curtain roughly and threw it down roughly. The curtain rustled in the air.
Thus, the day at Murong Mansion began with a noisy chaos.
Today was supposed to be the day when the Gu family sent over the dowry, so the Murong family had been preparing early. Everywhere in the mansion was decorated with lights and colors, and even the Taoist Master Shangqing was invited early in the morning.
The eldest master Murong Hao and his wife were entertaining Shangqing Zhenren in the hall of the outer courtyard. After hearing the report from the little maid, they also welcomed Shangqing Zhenren to the courtyard of old lady Murong.
As soon as he entered the inner room, Shangqing Zhenren frowned, feeling something was wrong.
It's too bright here! He didn't look at Madam Murong on the couch, but cast his eyes directly at a certain window, and the silver-white whisk in his hand moved lightly.
Taoist Shangqing walked towards the window with graceful steps, the sleeves of his yellow robe fluttering with his steps, giving him an air of immortality.
He pointed his whisk at a talisman on the window and asked calmly, "Why is there one less talisman on the window?"
