Gu Qingyuan didn't feel embarrassed at all. Gu Jinzhu turned around and said blissfully to Mrs. Yao, "Greetings, mother."
Due to the punishment of kneeling a few days ago, Mrs. Yao had lost face at the Residence of He. She was fuming and gritting her teeth, but when she saw Gu Jinzhu, her expression immediately darkened.
Since she didn't say anything, Gu Jinzhu couldn't get up. Mrs. Yao wanted to embarrass her for a while, but then she heard a girl beside her say, "This is Big Sis?" Great, we sisters are finally together. "
A gust of fragrant wind blew over, supporting Gu Jinzhu's arm with both hands. She rose to her feet and raised her head to face a smiling face that was as dazzling as a peony flower blooming.
The girl in front of him was truly worthy of the word 'beautiful'. She had fine features and looked forward to it.
She had a coquettish oval face, snow-white skin, curved willow brows, and a pair of almond eyes.
She wore a light green dress with a satin belt the width of a finger. She appeared to be slim and slim. Her hair was tied up in a beautiful bun. On top of it was a translucent jade hairpin, which looked very gorgeous under the lights of the courtyard.
Gu Qingyuan smiled and said, "Zhu, this is your sister, Bitong. She just returned from the palace today. You two sisters should get closer in the future."
Gu Bitong raised her head and smiled, looking like a little girl, "Is there even a need for father to say that? I've been looking forward to big sister coming back. Big sister, come sit here, let's have a nice chat. "
Gu Qingyuan had a smile on his face and looked very satisfied, but Mrs. Yao was furious. She wanted to embarrass Gu Jinzhu, but was stopped by her own daughter. Feeling upset, Gu Qingyuan glared at her several times.
Gu Bitong pretended as if she didn't see her mother's expression, and pulled Gu Jinzhu along while smiling, asking her about the living conditions of Linan.
As the two sisters sat together, the contrast in temperament was very obvious. Gu Bitong was like a well-nurtured peony in a flower garden. Her facial features were bright and beautiful, and her clothes were luxurious.
Gu Jinzhu's dress looked much simpler and elegant. She stood beside Gu Bitong, who was brimming with brilliance. Her figure was curling and her eyes were cold. However, she was like a handful of fresh snow on a snow-capped mountain, clean and pure.
The two sisters had completely different temperaments, but they each excelled in their own fields. For a moment, they were like flowers in spring, attracting all the gazes in the garden.
The most unexpected one here was Gu Qingyuan. He had already lost his impression of his ex-wife, Mrs. Yang's daughter. Although he knew that she had already come back, he didn't have the heart to come over to see her.
But today, this scene gave him a huge surprise, he never thought that this daughter of the Yang family would actually be so good, standing in front of Gu Bitong, who was praised as the "Pearl of Shengjing", she was not inferior in the slightest. Originally, one second daughter was already enough to give him a lot of face, but now there was another, how could he not smile.
Since the death of the Old Duke, he had only taken on the title of "Void Lord". Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone through so much trouble to welcome Mrs. Yao into his mansion.
He only had one son, and he was still young. The only way out for him now was to rely on the girls in the house to get a few strong in-laws, and his son would be able to help in the future.
He had already planned for his second daughter for a long time. He never thought that such an outstanding eldest daughter would appear in the sky today. His heart immediately became lively.
Gu Jinzhu didn't know what her father was planning, so she was still chatting with Gu Bitong when she heard a shout from the front, full of excitement, "Sister!"
The two of them looked up and saw Gu Bijin jogging over.
The moment Gu Jinzhu saw her outfit, the corner of her eyes couldn't help but twitch. Gu Bijin was also a beauty, with delicate facial features, but the usual arrogant look on her face had ruined her beauty. She normally dressed neatly, but at this moment, Gu Jinzhu felt like she was looking at a moving vase.
She was dressed in a golden dress made from hibiscus flowers. Her hair was tied up in a complicated bun filled with shining gold pearls and her body was covered with tinkling rings. As she ran, the hairpin on her head shook, causing people to worry that they might fall off at any moment.
Gu Bijin was still a little girl who had yet to grow up, and her face was not as pretty as Gu Bitongmei's. Originally, she could not suppress her beautiful appearance, but she did not have the slightest self-knowledge and had to imitate Gu Bitong.
She ran in front of Gu Bitong, pulled up her skirt and turned it in a circle. She smiled happily. "Elder sister, is it nice to dress up like this?"
As soon as she said that, the powder on her face started to fall, but Gu Bitong's expression didn't change as she smiled and said, "It's pretty, but that's the most popular style in the palace."
She was smiling, but there was a trace of disdain in her eyes.
Gu Bijin obviously didn't notice, but continued to smile happily as she said, "Big sister loves me the most and doesn't forget to give me anything good."
She turned her head and saw Gu Jinzhu sitting beside her. She was stunned for a moment before a trace of disgust flashed across her face. "Why are you here?!"
Before Gu Jinzhu could say anything, Gu Bitong's expression changed and she scolded, "Jin, this is our big sister. Why are you being so rude!"
Gu Bijin stomped her feet and said unhappily, "What kind of elder sister is she? I only have one elder sister!" She walked to Gu Jinzhu's side, raised her chin, and said arrogantly, "Go sit over there. I want to sit with big sister."
Gu Jinzhu's body was filled with the smell of her makeup. Without waiting for her to finish, she got up and left, allowing Gu Bijin to squeeze into her seat.
Gu Bitong's expression changed as she stood up and held Gu Jinzhu's hand. She said anxiously, "Big Sis, don't bother with Jin. She's still young and doesn't know how to act."
Gu Jinzhu calmly replied, "No worries." She was completely uninterested in this proud and spoiled girl, much less willing to speak another word.
However, Gu Bitong's expression turned stern. She turned around and shouted at her sister, "Quickly apologize to Big Sis! You are too rude! "
Gu Bijin was stunned, as if she had not expected her sister to speak harshly to her about such a trivial matter. She couldn't help but be stunned.
Gu Bitong did not give her any face as she shouted harshly, "Why aren't you coming over!? If Big Sister does not forgive you, and let others spread the news, they will say that the girls who take care of our State Duke's Mansion do not know how to respect others, and do not have the education! "
As she scolded him harshly, a cold glint appeared in Gu Jinzhu's eyes. Her words were ingenious. What did she mean by "if big sister doesn't forgive you, let others spread the news"?
Although she was a poor girl, but because Mrs. Yao had purposely carried her along, her clothing, living conditions, and daily necessities were all compared to Miss Gu Zhiyue's. Although they were not as good as Gu Bitong, but compared to Gu Zhiyue, who was also a poor girl, she had never felt that she was inferior by a single grade.
