Blackened cousin is too scary

Chapter 42
There was a pile of fabrics on the soft couch at the side, "Cousin, let's choose first." Gu Jinzhi said modestly.

"Cousin should choose first." Lu Yao didn't dare to look into Gu Jinzhi's eyes, and whispered while clutching the handkerchief tightly.

"Girl Yao, you pick first. Your cousin is a man, so he doesn't know how to pick a suit. Just in time, you pick one, and pick one for Jinzhi by the way." Old Madam Gu glanced at Gu Jinzhi and said.

"Grandmother said yes, so please trouble my cousin." Gu Jinzhi still spoke softly, but when Lu Yao heard his words and looked up, she felt a dark light flash in his eyes quickly.

"You are welcome, cousin."

Lu Yao didn't want to pick one, but her grandmother had already spoken, and she couldn't help it. Forget it, just pick a horse to deal with it. Lu Yao walked to the soft couch, looked at the cloth on the couch, and stretched out her hand to the moon. He paused on the white cloth, and moved his left hand to the side, "This one, I think it's very suitable for my cousin."

"Ink color?" Old Madam Gu looked at the cloth Lu Yao pointed at, and said with some hesitation, "It's rare to see Jinzhi wearing dark clothes like ink color clothes."

Lu Yao could hear the uncertainty in Mrs. Gu's tone, and explained: "Grandmother, the deep color makes you look stable. Maybe cousin Jinzhi likes this kind of color." Extraordinarily handsome, but now it feels like it's just an act.

Gu Jinzhi heard the awkwardness in Lu Yao's tone, and said with a smile: "What my cousin said is that people always have to try something they have never been in before to know what they are really suitable for, isn't it?"

After the incident in the garden, when Lu Yao saw Gu Jinzhi's smile again, she felt inexplicably uncomfortable, as if she was being stalked by a wolf in sheep's clothing.

"It's fine if you like it, girl Yao. You can pick one too. Once you've chosen it, you'll hand it over to the garment workshop to make a garment. Then you can wear it at the palace banquet." Old Madam Gu said, leaning on the soft pillow.

"Grandmother, can't I not go?" Lu Yao looked at Old Madam Gu with some bitterness.

"No!" Mrs. Gu sat up straight, "No one asks about women who are raised in the boudoir. Although you are still young, it's time to make up your mind. Attending more banquets will be good for your future."

Lu Yao still didn't want to go, for such a big event as the palace banquet, Ningyuan Hou Mansion would definitely go, but now Jiang Cheng is just an unfavored bastard, so he probably won't go.But seeing her grandmother's resolute face, Lu Yao didn't say anything else, if it happened to her, she would hide by herself at worst.

"Yes, I see, grandma." Lu Yao casually pointed to a piece of lake-blue cloth, Lian Qiao stepped forward to pick up the cloth and hugged it.

Lu Yao stepped forward and sat next to Mrs. Gu, hugging her arm and acting like a baby, "Grandmother, I want to go out of the house to have a look, but shopkeeper Wang said there is something for me to go and have a look at."

Shopkeeper Wang is the manager of the Lu family store, Mr. Gu knows him.

"Let Jin Zhi go with you, it's not safe for you to be outside as a girl." Old Madam Gu said.

Before Lu Yao had time to refuse, she heard a notification from outside.

"Eldest Miss and Second Miss are here!"

The porter opened the curtain, and Gu Jinxiu and Gu Jinse walked in one after the other.

"Grandmother, what are you talking about? I can hear your voices outside." Gu Jinxiu glanced at Lu Yao and Gu Jinzhi in the room and said with a hearty smile.

"What can I say? Talking bad about you!" Mrs. Gu said with a smile.

Gu Jinse came in behind Gu Jinxiu, bowed his knees and saluted to Mrs. Gu and Gu Jinzhi respectively, "I've seen my grandmother, I've seen my elder brother."

The smile on Mrs. Gu's face faded, "Get up, there are new materials in the house, you two can choose one you like too."
