Chapter 800 My cousin is reborn and wants to snatch my marriage (9)
"Miss, tomorrow you are going to the Marquis of Qiyang's mansion to attend the Marquis' wife's birthday banquet. Which dress would you like to wear? The color of this new dress is not suitable, and the other dresses have been worn several times and are not new and bright enough. Oh, if only we had our own embroiderer..." Zhixia chattered, "Miss has been asking the embroiderer to measure her body and make clothes for her every day these days. I heard that she has made several sets of clothes, but she is still not satisfied..."
Zhiqiu glared at her and said, "Just shut up. Do you know what the eldest lady did? Stop listening to other people's nonsense!" Zhiqiu was afraid that Gu Shichu would feel uncomfortable after hearing Zhixia's words. After all, the third lady was also a lady in the mansion, but the treatment she received was far less than that of the eldest lady. Anyone would feel unwilling.
But she was wrong. She was not a teenage girl, and she would not feel resentful about a few new clothes. So she just said to Zhixia, "Just choose the goose yellow gauze one. It's just a birthday party. We are not the protagonists. No one will care whether I am wearing new clothes or not. Zhixia, you don't need to be so grand."
"Okay." Zhixia thought about it and realized that the third young lady was like a transparent person. She rarely socialized with others when she attended other people's banquets before. Few people really cared about what she wore.
Gu Shiyao didn't want to dress too outstandingly. After all, she didn't want to go to the Marquis of Qi Yang's Mansion at all. She wished to stay away from that mansion. The less outstanding she was, the better. Unfortunately, the eldest lady Zhou attached great importance to her dressing up tomorrow. She felt that her daughter was going to the home of her future husband, so naturally she had to leave a deep and good impression on her future mother-in-law and husband. Therefore, she asked all the embroiderers in the mansion to make clothes for Gu Shiyao.
"Third sister, you finally came out. Just sit with me! We two sisters can keep each other company." Gu Shiyao waited at the door for a while, and finally waited until Gu Shichu came out. She immediately took Gu Shichu's arm and said affectionately.
Gu Shichu knew at first sight that this guy must be planning something against her again, but since she had invited her, she would not refuse. After all, Gu Shiyao's carriage was much more comfortable than the one she was riding in, so she followed Gu Shiyao into her carriage with a smile.
"Why don't you wear some beautiful jewelry today, third sister? You only have two hairpins. Isn't that too plain?" Gu Shiyao observed Gu Shichu's dress and found that she was dressed more low-key and simple than her maid. She asked in surprise.
Gu Shichu looked up at her and found that her expression was really puzzled, as if she really didn't understand why Gu Shichu was so simple.
Gu Shichu couldn't help but find it funny. Her cousin really had a naive attitude of "why not eat meat?", so she deliberately acted depressed and said to Gu Shiyao with a "forced smile": "I, I don't have any beautiful jewelry. These are the best preserved ones. I took them out and wore them. Although they are not valuable, they are pretty and suitable for me..."
When Gu Shiyao heard her words, her face suddenly became hot. She didn't understand that what she had just said was a mockery. She quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, Third Sister, I said the wrong thing. To express my apology, you can wear my jewelry this time!"
As she spoke, she actually asked her maid to take out an exquisite jewelry box, which contained several sets of dazzling and precious jewelry.
"Help your sister put it on quickly." Gu Shiyao said, and she also took out an agate and ruby butterfly hairpin and put it on Gu Shichu. She was hoping that Gu Shichu could hook up with Ming Xun at this birthday banquet, so naturally she wanted to dress Gu Shichu up to be bright and charming, preferably so that she could charm Ming Xun, so she took out all her treasured jewelry without hesitation.
“No, no, big sister, I can’t wear your jewelry. What if I lose it? I can’t afford to pay for it…” Gu Shichu quickly refused and wanted to take off all the jewelry on his head and return it to her.
Gu Shiyao quickly persuaded her, "It's okay, you are my sister, what's wrong with wearing my jewelry? Don't worry, I will never ask you to pay for it if you lose it!"
"Is it true?" Gu Shichu asked weakly.
"Of course it's true! You and I are blood sisters, how could I blame you and ask you to pay for these material things?" Gu Shiyao tried her best to make Gu Shichu dress more dazzling. These jewelries were her favorites. If they were really lost, she would be heartbroken. However, compared to the jewelries, she hoped to get rid of this marriage more. So she could only comfort herself that when she became the prime minister's wife in the future, she would have more expensive and beautiful ones.
Finally, after Gu Shiyao's constant persuasion, Gu Shichu not only wore her jewelry, but also changed into a set of beautiful new clothes she made. Although the new clothes were very beautiful and she liked them very much, she was reluctant to sacrifice the child, so Gu Shiyao gritted her teeth and gave them to Gu Shichu to wear.
"Third sister, you look so beautiful after dressing up like this." Gu Shiyao looked at her sister who was dressed up and looked exceptionally beautiful, and suppressed the bitterness in her heart as she praised her.
In ancient times, Chu was fifteen years old, in the prime of youth. Her face, full of vitality, did not need too much makeup to be rosy and full, just like the peach blossoms on the branches in March wet with rain, fresh and crystal.
"Thank you, big sister." Gu Shichu said to Gu Shiyao happily. She was kind enough to let her wear new clothes.
"Third sister is so beautiful, who knows which stinky boy will marry her in the future." Gu Shiyao deliberately joked, but in her heart she was thinking, anyway, you will never be the prime minister's wife again in this life...
Gu Shichu had no idea that there were so many things going on in her mind. The two sisters chatted with each other for a while, and the carriage soon arrived at the Marquis Qi Yang's Mansion.
Gu Shiyao looked at the familiar gate of the Marquis' Mansion with mixed feelings in her heart. Endless unwillingness, resentment, bitterness and pain surged into her heart, making her nose sore and her eyes red. Fortunately, Zhou called her and she woke up from these complicated emotions. She quickly calmed down and followed her mother.
In this life, she will never fall into the mud pit of Qi Yang Hou Mansion again... Gu Shiyao swore secretly in her heart, and her eyes immediately became firm.
Gu Shichu and other girls from the Duke's Mansion followed Zhou and first went to greet today's birthday girl, the wife of Marquis Qi Yang. After listening to Zhou chatting with the wife for a while, they were sent out to do whatever they wanted.
The Marquis of Qiyang Mansion has lived up to its hundred years of glory. Every pavilion and tower in the mansion is gorgeous and exquisite, making people linger.
In the past, when Gu Shiyao went out as a guest, she would have gone to chat and have fun with the young ladies she was familiar with from other families, and would not have paid any attention to Gu Shichu at all. But this time, she took Gu Shichu with her for the first time and never left her behind no matter where she went.
