The Bearing of a Large Family’s Young Miss (Part Two)
“Madam Gu, young miss, related young miss, this is young miss Yin . Lord Marquis ordered me to bring her here to be seated . ”
The girl before them had a slender build . In her white clothes, she appeared to have a cold temperament . She was beautiful but also looked a little sorrowful .
After the granny introduced her, she stepped forward and bowed to madam Su, “Greetings, madam Su . My father is Prime Minister Yin . He was unable to come today, thus he had my eldest brother and I come to congratulate Lord Marquis Gu on his birthday . Because I rarely go out, eldest brother brought me to see Lord Marquis first . ”
It was no wonder she arrived so late . It turned out that she had gone to see Gu HuaiJiang first .
Yu Fu looked at her face and felt that her temperament was a little similar to that of Yin Shuo, but her facial features were not the same .
These siblings, they were not born from the same mother, right?
Seeing that she spoke kindly and courteously, madam Su smiled and said: “So it was the young miss of Prime Minister Yin’s family . Sure enough, you have extraordinary qualities . Young miss Yin, please sit . ”
Su Yunyan saw that she had a slender build and thought to herself that if Princess DanYang saw this, she might die from the anger . It was fortunate that she happened to just leave .
Thinking of this, she could not stop herself from laughing .
Yin JiYao carefully sat down where Princess DanYang had been sitting . Suddenly hearing Su YunYan’s laughter, she looked over in confusion .
“Young miss Yin, please don’t mind . Sister Su isn’t laughing at you . We were telling some jokes just a little earlier . ”
Yu Fu quickly spoke up to resolve the awkward atmosphere, and Su YunYan hastily nodded her head . Yin JiYao looked at the two with a smile .
It looked as if she was looking at both of them, but her gaze was mostly focused on Yu Fu . Yu Fu noticed this very acutely .
This young miss Yin was sizing her up .
Yin JiYao was indeed sizing her up .
“During the Mid-Autumn Festival’s imperial banquet, JiYao had the fortune of seeing young miss Yu Fu . Your performance was exceptional . At that time, I thought that for young miss to be so skilled at such a young age, it was truly worthy of admiration . Seeing you today…”
She covered her mouth . The curve of her smile was very restrained, “To say something a little improper, young miss Yu Fu, it seems like young miss Yu Fu has grown up a little . You’re like a bud that is just about ready to bloom without fear of winter’s ice and snow . ”
Su YunYan quietly clicked her tongue .
When this young miss Yin opened her mouth, she spoke in a scholar’s tone . She had clearly praised Yu Fu, yet she prefaced it by self-effacingly saying it was “improper . ”
In contrast, Princess DanYang was far too uneducated . When she insulted others, there was not the slightest bit of shame .
Yu Fu smiled at her and thought to herself that she was merely looking at her clothes .
“Young miss Yin’s praise is excessive . Everyone says that I have grown taller . But during the Mid-Autumn Festival, I did not see young miss Yin . Seeing you today, you truly have the temperament of a lotus . ”
The one who had just been praised for her beauty returned the praise . The bearing of a large family’s young miss was on full display .
Yin JiYao wanted to talk with her some more, “I very rarely go out . During the Mid-Autumn Festival’s imperial banquet, I was seated behind my eldest brother and did not attract any attention . That young miss Yu Fu did not see me is quite normal, but everyone in the hall definitely saw you . ”
“Alright, alright, stop going back and forth with the young misses . Since we all know one another, we shall refer to each other as sisters . Going back and forth with calling each other young miss, doesn’t it create quite a divide?”
Su YunYan spoke up to cut them off .
In the past, she had thought that Yu Fu was a girl from the wilderness . It was only now that she found that she herself was like a girl from the wilderness in front of these two .
JinLing was a place that did not have many prominent families . Interpersonal relations were relatively simple . They were not as complicated as they were in the capital, where one needed to remain courteous and maintain a smile .
Madam Su helplessly and dotingly looked at her .
This was the reason that she felt that Su YunYan could not marry Gu ShuBai and become his legal wife .
Yin JiYao and Yu Fu exchanged a smile .
“Sister Yin . ”
“Sister Yu Fu . ”
Before the play concluded, Yin JiYan also stood up, “Madam Su, please enjoy the show . I will go and take a walk before coming back . ”
Yet another had left for a walk .
Princess DanYang had not yet returned from her walk, yet another one had left .
Su YunYan looked back at the corridor behind them . The wind was so cold and fierce . Who knew what there was to see on these walks .
“Yu Fu, what do you think they’ve gone to do?”
The two quietly whispered to each other behind madam Su’s back .
“I don’t know . It might be that they very rarely come to Marquis Gu’s Manor and wanted to look around . ”
Suddenly, they heard Gu HuaiJiang’s voice come from the other side of the curtain, “Today is this marquis’ birthday . Many thanks to all for coming in support . Let us drink to this!”
He lifted his cup, and everyone present followed suit .
Yin Shuo and Kun WuShang were seated with the sons of Marquis Gu’s Manor . They were treated as if they were honored guests, and the two would occasionally exchange a look .
This seventh prince of Western Kun was allegedly Yu Fu’s older junior disciple, and he had watched over her since she was little . Today, he would definitely need to try and get Yu Fu’s true identity out of him .
This eldest son of the Yin family allegedly held more prestige in court ahn his father . He was not an average person . He would need to find a chance to chat with Yin Shuo . Who knew, maybe he could make use of Yin Yan to restrain Gu HuaiJiang .
Everyone raised their cups with their own thoughts in mind . Gu ShuBai’s cup was quite full when he raised it while looking at Kun WuShang with a smile .
“Seventh prince, our previous quarrel was my fault . Would seventh prince please not mind it . ”
Oh, this modest smile was completely different from the infuriated look that he had that day .
Just as Kun WuShang was hesitating as to whether or not he should return this toast, Gu ShuBai continued: “After all, I am Yu Fu’s elder, and you are her junior disciple . I would have an unfair advantage . ”
“You!”
Kun WuShang had become accustomed to acting as he wished in Eastern Ling . Not being able to beat Gu ShuBai was fine, yet he wanted to claim a cheap victory?!
He angrily furrowed his brow .
He then suddenly heard Gu HuaiJiang say: “Taking advantage of this marquis’ birthday celebration, I have a joyous matter to announce . ”
