Chapter 376: The Banquet of the Anguo Mansion 10
There are many people who come today, and the Anguo Mansion has enclosed a large area in the back garden for banquets.
The theater building surrounding the lake, the surrounding pavilions and corridors, are separated by screens and bamboo curtains, all surrounded by curtains, in which tables and chairs are placed, and charcoal pots and stoves are lit, so that guests can see the juggling opera in the garden without being frozen by the cold wind.
When it was time to start the play, led by the Duchess of the Kingdom, the ladies gathered in twos and threes, and sat down according to the guidance of the maids in the Guogong Mansion.
Then there was a flowing maid who sent all kinds of delicious snacks, and every table was presented with a play card.
Naturally, the play was ordered a long time ago, but the Duchess of Guo still made the following appearance and let Mrs. Weiyuanhou, who was at the table with her, order it first.
Unlike those border generals, the Anguo Mansion and the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion are in charge of the troops closest to the capital, and the power of the two families used to be that the Anguo Mansion was a little higher than the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion.
However, in the rebellion of the capital, the Anguo Mansion was a bystander, but the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion opened a port for the Southern Navy, and had a very good relationship with Su Cen of the Southern Navy.
The attitude of the Duchess towards the Marquis of Weiyuan was also a little kinder.
"I don't know much, Madame's order is naturally good." Mrs. Weiyuan Hou chuckled.
But his eyes looked unconsciously to the front yard.
Although the male and female guests are separated, the younger generations of the family will also bring their good friends to visit the elders, which is the usual blind date practice in the banquet.
Now that Wei Zhao and Fu Qianxia are married, they are also juniors to the Anguo Mansion, and with the friendship between Wei Zhao and Gu Mohan, they will definitely bring Gu Mohan to meet the Duchess of Guo.
Speaking of which, Gu Mohan has a great reputation in the capital, but not many people have really seen his appearance.
He had little time to come back, and after he came back, in addition to going to court a few times, most of them were running errands or staying at home, and he didn't come out to the banquet at all.
It was those ministers in the court, who saw the appearance of his full body armor, and they were impressed by what he said and the cold air of his body, and asked what he looked like.
Most of them are-, I'm sorry Madame, I really didn't pay attention.
Above this big court, everyone has their heads down, who dares to look up and take a closer look at what the cold and murderous Gu Mohan looks like.
If you want to ask further, there are all kinds of descriptions, so that the women of their back house can only rely on imagination.
Imagine that everything came out.
And now that Gu Mohan's power foundation is solid, many people have made up his mind, but when it comes to appearance, they are all directly ignored.
Mrs. Weiyuan Hou came today, flower appreciation is secondary, the most important thing, I still want to take my daughter to see what Gu Mohan looks like.
Since listening to Gu Xinyue's words at the Luo family's banquet, she has moved her mind, and she is also showing her daughter this year, but she has not decided who it is, until the matter in Ganzhou is settled this time, even her husband said that there are various benefits to marrying Gu Mohan, so she made up her mind.
But his daughter didn't do it.
Xu has heard too many rumors outside, and he is afraid that Gu Mohan is really a reckless man who eats raw meat with five big and three coarse bloodthirsty, and it is useless for Weiyuan Hou to repeatedly guarantee that Gu Mohan is very handsome.
In desperation, I happened to hear that Gu Mohan was also here today, so Mrs. Weiyuan Hou brought her daughter without hesitation, and then looked at the real person first.
After looking at the direction of the front courtyard, Mrs. Weiyuan Hou swept her eyes again, and took in the expressions of many noble ladies.
Well, it seems that there are really a lot of people who came to see Gu Mohan today.
Not to mention the lady and wife, it is the pavilion of the corridor where the girls sit, and the bamboo curtains are rolled up, just to take the open space in front of the ladies in front of the stage into their eyes.
(Actually, many of them are looking at the children, not specifically for Gu Mohan)
Duchess An Guo prepared a lot of programs, and before the play began, there were vaudevillers on the stage.
Ventriloquist monkey play, spitting fireworks and walking tightropes or something, it is very interesting and lively.
The ventriloquist on the stage is learning the best place, and a group of sons and daughters came from outside, and the leader was Shizi.
As soon as the brightly dressed and personable sons came into view, the garden suddenly fell silent, and everyone's eyes were attracted.
Especially when the first few people walked around the bamboo curtain into the open space in front of the stage and walked towards the Duchess, the girls' eyes were straight.
The back garden of the Anguo Mansion is decorated with thousands of pots of flowers, and against the backdrop of white snow and red plums, it is even more colorful and incomparable, and any beautiful clothes cannot show bright colors in between.
But when the young man in the dark robe walked in slowly, the colors of the sky lost their luster, and every qiē became the background.
Even those sons who are popular in the capital and are sought after by the young girls of Huaichun have no sense of existence at all.
Between heaven and earth, women can only see that one person.
That is the man who is just such a man when the gods come, and it is no longer something that can be described in beautiful words.
The Duchess was dumbfounded.
I just thought in my heart, how can there be such a handsome and soul-stirring person in this world?
It's like, it's like going back in time, back to twenty years ago, when she was not married, when she caught a glimpse of the man she saw in the palace.
My heart couldn't help but pop and pop.
No, no, this person is more beautiful than the person back then, more imposing, and the person back then was mostly warm, like a spring breeze blowing on his face, and the view was intoxicating, but now this person has a sharp and awe-inspiring majesty, and the momentum is compelling.
took a step forward and led a few people, and the prince bowed and saluted: "Fu Ying has seen my mother, I have seen all the ladies, this is, General Gu, the general of the Northwest." ”
Gu Mohan's face was calm, and he hugged his fists and saluted: "I've seen the Duchess of the Kingdom." ”
Before the sound fell, he put down his hand, turned around and glanced at the corridor, wanting to see where Gu Xinyue was.
Earlier, he heard the sound of ventriloquism here, thinking that Gu Xinyue liked these, and it shouldn't be too far away, but after glancing around, he didn't see anyone, and his eyes were slightly sunken.
But as soon as he turned around, his eyes rolled, and there was a gasping sound around him, and there was a sound of snorting in the corridor in the distance, as if someone had fainted.
Wei Zhao unconsciously clenched his hands into fists against his lips and coughed lightly.
Well, he didn't expect that Gu Mohan had been sick for the past few days, as if he had been reborn, and after coming to today, the capital would never mention the name of the fourth prince again.
"Where's your sister?" Gu Mohan glanced at him, approached Fu Fu sideways, and said in a low voice.
"Ugh." Fu Fu turned his head to look, but he really didn't see his sister-in-law, nor did he see any trace of Su Xingxing and Gu Xinyue.
Seeing that Fu Fu was also a little dazed, Gu Mohan's face sank, and he said to Shizi: "Brother Fu and I will go and have a look, Shizi is busy by himself, don't worry about us." ”
As he spoke, he turned around and walked outside.
The prince was stunned for a moment, Wei Zhao and Su Cen had already finished saluting with the ladies above, and said don't care about us, so they quickly followed behind Gu Mohan, and left in a blink of an eye.
It was always a long time after a few people left, and the prince came back to his senses, and the surrounding female dependents were relieved.
Mrs. Wei Yuanhou looked at the corridor where her daughter was next to her, and saw her daughter under the bamboo curtain with a look of fascination, and nodded secretly in her heart.
And in the pavilion with the best view to the east of the main seat, Fu Qianchun's face was crimson, and his eyes were hot and followed Gu Mohan's back, and he called his maid: "Go and ask Hongling to stop." ”
The maid was stunned.
But Hongling has already done as you instructed, how can I stop now......
