With more than half a dozen of female servants following them, both Madam Yun and Gu Yanran entered Water Pavilion with their head high.
Inside Gu Yanyan's room.
"Miss, look how beautiful these hairpins are. Young master really cherishes his cousin." Yang Yuri said admiring the hairpins that were sent over by Lin Chenfeng on the New Year when they were still at manor.
Today, since Lin Chenfeng had already entered the Capital city, they didn't know when he made a visit to Gu Residence or asked her to meet him outside, anyway, since they had to meet anyhow, Gu Yanyan wanted to wear the dresses and jewelleries that he had sent over the years for to show her appreciation towards his gifts.
"What are you drooling at a mere piece of hairpin? Look over hear, see these three coloured jade bracelet. There is red but not only red, there is white but not only white and the pink hue that you can see between red and white!!! It only makes it more rare and beautiful. Truly our young master really has a taste when choosing good things." Yang Qingli at the side sighed when admiring and praising the bracelet and it's formar owner.
"Aah!! Miss, If young master has such a great test while choosing jewelleries for a little girl, what do you think about the girl he would choose to spend his life?" Yang Xumei who was silent at the side and looking over the things suddenly questioned with a curious look on her face.
"Yes miss please tell us." Other female maids also started to urge Gu Yanyan for an answer.
Hearing their questions, Gu Yanyan was speechless for a moment and then raised her brow as she threw her gaze towards them.
Seeing their eagerness she couldn't help but twitch her lips.
"And why on earth you all are interested in the girl my cousin would choose?" Gu Yanyan put her elbow on the armrest and rested her head in her palm, looking over her young maids, most of them were already at the age of marriage and a few were at their way.
Tsk.
"Aah miss!!! What do you think of me as your cousin-in-law?" Yang Xumei pointed her finger towards her and asked with a shy smile on her face.
This was the question that, Gu Yanyan had never expected.
Even in her last life before the explosion happened and they died, Yang Xumei had already crossed her thirty but she never mentioned about getting married so this was really a shock for her.
But if her Xumei really wants to get married then even if she couldn't convince her cousin, she, Gu Yanyan would make sure to find a wealthy amd powerful family for her Xumei to marry and settle down... but for now....
"Sure. I would definitely like to have you as my cousin-in-law." Gu Yanyan generously gave her consent and other maids started to tease and taunt Yang Xumei to be so cunning and smart and for getting miss' affirmation do easily.
While they were still busy teasing and jocking with each other and selecting dresses and jewelleries for Gu Yanyan, a servant came to inform them about the visit of both Mother and daughter duo.
"Let them in." Gu Yanyan waved her hand and sent the servant away.
If it was someone else, she would have asked them to wait in the guest hall but it was Madam Yun. No matter what, Madam Yun was still her father's wife and her mother in name. If she prevent them from entering her chamber and asked her to wait in the guest hall, Gu Yanyan didn't know what kind of rumors would spread in the Gu Residence and even in the capital city.
Before Madam Yun and Gu Yanran could enter her room, all the jewelleries and clothes that were spread all over in the room had already been cleared and nothing seem out of place.
One maid was cleaning the vases while other was dusting the book shelves.
Gu Yanyan was sitting in her seat and one maid was brewing the premium Jasmine green tea while another maid at the side was already burning an incense to make the room smell fragrant.
Looking at her leisure and luxury, both Madam Yun and Gu Yanran felt an itch in their heart as if thousands of ants were crawling in their heart teasing and hurting it.
But anyhow they managed to keep their facial expressions in control.
With smiles on their faces, they entered the room, looking at them, Gu Yanyan also stood up and greeted Madam Yun and welcomed Gu Yanran to take a seat.
She had thought, as all the previous times, Gu Yanran would definitely show her high and mighty self and would definitely take her seat without caring to show any respect and mannerism towards her.
But she was wrong...
As Gu Yanran stepped forward and greeted Gu Yanyan with her soft and honey dipped gentle voice.
"Yanran greet eldest sister. I hope, I didn't disturbed eldest sister Yanyan."
"Look at you what are you talking about? Our Yanyan is so loving amd understanding. Of course she wouldn't mind you disturbing her. Right Yanyan?" Madam Yun laughed and looked at Gu Yanyan to go along with her.
But Gu Yanyan just looked at her as if she was looking at a clown, doing it's own act.
Madam Yun secretly gnashed her teeth at the lack of response from Gu Yanyan but smiled nonetheless.
After taking a seat she lifted her cup of tea which was poured by the maid, Madam Yun looked at Gu Yanran and signaled her with her eyes pointing towards the maids who followed them in Water Pavilion.
"Ah sister! Look what mother and I brought for you!!" Gu Yanran exclaimed attracting Gu Yanyan's attention while signaling one of the maid to step forward and show the gift she brought for Gu Yanyan.
The maid obediently stepped forward and lifted the silk veil from the plate, uncovering Gu Yanran's gift for her 'Eldest sister'.
