At the palace banquet on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Gu Ci once again refreshed the perception of the favored county lord of Yuanyi by everyone in the capital. In previous years, she obediently sat down with her parents and brother, but this year, there are really a lot of people at the table in the Protector's Mansion, but she is not seen. It wasn't until the emperor and the queen mother came in that they saw her position the same as the family banquet in previous years, between the first two people.

Not even the crown prince has ever received such an honor!

However, seeing that the prince, who was second closest to the emperor, had been talking to the county lord with a smile, all the ministers felt that the prince was worthy of being humble and wise.

Many people who attended a palace banquet for the first time or saw Gu Ci for the first time on such an occasion inevitably made waves in their hearts. The big red princess princess's court dress and the nine phoenixes on her head with beads on her head can't suppress her bright eyes and bright teeth, and her youthful style with a smile doesn't know how many people in the palace have attracted young men's hearts to move.

For example, Chen Su and Chen Wanli, father and son, looked at Gu Ci differently, and Chen Xiangxiang was even more angry. Gu Minglun is also in his heart, this niece's degree of favor is really beyond imagination, no wonder it is rumored that she grew up sitting on the emperor's lap. Ma Jiaqi and Ma Jiayi sisters participated in such an occasion for the first time, nervous and shocked, almost speechless, and couldn't imagine how such a Gu Ci could drink tea and talk with them in that small house that was not simple. Many boys who heard that their families had proposed to the county lord of Yuanyi, when they saw the real person, all the original small thoughts disappeared at once, and their hearts couldn't help but boil.

***********************

Chi Qiyu has been thinking about it since he glanced at it that day and saw Gu Ci's true face, racking his brains to find an opportunity to say a few words to the little beauty. Such a beautiful little girl with a beautiful appearance, delicate and tender like water tofu, and cooking is very delicious, even if she has a domineering temper, he doesn't mind at all!

It's a pity that Gu Qi, the sister control, simply guards him like a flood beast, so that he can't even get around the martial arts field!

No matter what he said, he was blocked back every time. It is even more impossible to climb over the wall, and the people guarding the inner courtyard are all the guards of the Protector Mansion, and some of those people are of higher rank than him as a second lieutenant, and they have really killed the enemy on the battlefield and cut off their heads.

Now he can only circle around the walls of the Qingyi Courtyard, sighing for a long time. In the past, every time the old man saw him, he would break his mouth and let him meet Grandpa Gu's 'Sister Luan', why was he so stupid to scoff at him and ignore it? Why didn't you mention this stubble this year?! He must obediently clean up and wait for her to come to the door!

A few years ago, I heard that the old man personally went to propose marriage to Grandpa Gu, he must have been kicked in the brain by a donkey at that time, and would rather take up his burden and go to Beiguan to be a pawn than marry the Gu family. And why is he so cheap-mouthed, he actually said to Gu Qi, a cautious and vengeful sister, 'The woman who can make Chi Ai cry angry is comparable to a dominatrix'!?

If you let the little beauty know......

Chi Qiyu, who had to pull out a lot of hair, reluctantly hit his horse home and asked for help, the old man's words almost made him desperate, "Only then will you know that your father has a good eye?" The little girl is smart, sensible and obedient, and there is more than one person who wants to marry her. It's a pity that your father's face has been used up, and he was trampled on by you on the ground, which is not good. ”

"Dad, I'm not the prodigal son! You have to think of it, I really like her. ”

"But your Uncle Gu's whole family knows that you went to Beiguan in order to refuse marriage. Besides, their family has never promised to marry their daughter, and that time it was your father and I who relied on the old friendship, and the dead face mentioned it, and there can be no second time. ”

"So what should I do? Have an idea? ”

"Either let the little girl take a fancy to you, or you won't marry...... I don't think it's possible, so forget it. Either let the emperor give you a marriage, there is no other way. ”

Chi Qiyu regained his spirits and was ready to inquire about the preferences of the little beauty, and behave well at the New Year's Palace banquet to make a good impression. In previous years, he never liked to follow the old man and his stepmother into the palace, but this year, the Gu family is at the table next to him, and he can't get a moon near the water, so he might as well buy a piece of tofu and die!

Who knew that people would sit on their heads!

The old man clearly said that every year the palace banquet can make the little beauty so happy, why doesn't she sit with her family this year?!

But she's so beautiful today!

He has never experienced the word 'repentance' so deeply, if he hadn't died that year, would he have been able to hold the little girl's hand and meet me under the moon?

He clenched his fists tightly, bothered his spirits, and went to greet the beautiful woman and her father with great pride.

***********************

There were countless Lang Jun who had the same idea as Chi Qiyu, and after a while, a large group of boys gathered around Gu Yao. There are many people who didn't plan to pick the rare flower of Gu Ci, and they also brought the boys to set it up.

is so spoiled, and the appearance is captivating, no matter how troublesome it is to marry back, it is worth offering!

The Queen Mother smiled proudly on her head, and secretly sent the blue female official over to broadcast it live. The emperor was also happy to see it, and he smiled rarely.

Gu Ci didn't notice it at all, she couldn't see so far away, and only smiled affectionately at Yuan Yi, who was talking to her gently. She felt that she was already very restrained, but who let this dress be changed by the lover from the inside to the outside not long ago, and the affection at the corners of her eyebrows and eyes couldn't be suppressed at all.

Yuan Yi was stared at by the gentle watery gaze, and her heart was so soft that she just wanted to hug her and love her wantonly. Fortunately, this time there were light gauze tents hanging everywhere in the hall, and it was not easy for the people below to see the interaction between the two of them. Although there can be no secrets in the palace, and he doesn't care that others know who his sweetheart is, but if the emperor doesn't make a clear decree for a day, he doesn't want bad gossip to involve the little baby. Yuan Yi got up and wanted to tell Ming Ting to find a reason to send the little girl back to Cining Palace, and he would go over in a while.

Before he could speak, the Queen Mother directly dismissed people, "Brother Yuan, go and toast the family of the Protector, it won't be your turn for a while." ”

Yuan Yi gave Ming Ting a look, reluctantly glanced at the little girl, and picked up the wine jug and wine glass.

The closer he got to Gu Yao's seat, the smile on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's face became gentler. Chi Qiyu! Xia Bufan! Qiao Yu and Qiao Qi! Cui Hang! Chen Wanli! Re-elected and Wu Shenyang also came to join in the fun?! Are you like me dead?

Gu Ci sent her lover over, only to find that her father was so lively, "Grandmother, why are there so many people over there?" ”

The Queen Mother, who has been watching a good show, said with a smile, "You just found out? It's all for you, going to your dad for a drink! ”

Gu Ci looked at the Queen Mother helplessly, "Grandmother, you are naughty again......"

The Queen Mother nodded her little head and said to the emperor proudly, "I knew that Ah Luan would definitely be able to charm this group of little Langjun who came today!" ”

The emperor was even happier, "The queen mother can also hold a banquet for Ah Luan one day, so that those boys can behave well in front of you." ”

Gu Ci is really speechless, is it really good for your mother and son to entertain the prince like this!?

The Queen Mother was quite positive about this idea, "That's right, this year's Shangsi Festival Spring Banquet will invite boys and girls together." ”

"Grandmother!" If it weren't for the fact that he was wearing a big dress, Gu Ci would have wanted to pounce on it and be coquettish.

The emperor waved his hand, "Where can the boys let go in the palace, it is better to pull them all to go hunting in the West Mountain, and then the girls will put them on the stone boat of the Yuzhuan River, and on the shore is Xiao Langjun, which can be seen on both sides." ”

"That's a good idea, just do it! I want to think about it, I have to spend Yuan Ge'er that day. ”

"I sent him to Tanizu Castle in advance to inspect the floods."

"Ah Luan, you are not allowed to tell Brother Yuan'er! Otherwise, the child will be bad. ”

"Don't worry, he knows that he won't be able to come back, the affairs of Gujin City are enough for him to be busy for ten days."

"Let Brother Hui and Xiaoqi Xiaoba preside over this matter, they should also look at each other at this age."

"Let's send some more people to wait, report in real time, and ensure that no news will be left behind."

Watching the mother and son with the highest power in the Dayu Dynasty finalize the matter with one word, Gu Yu thought weakly, how to appease her brother afterwards......

***********************

After the two banquets in the palace, Gu Ci had no chance to go out, perhaps because her relatives already had eyebrows, and she didn't have her share in going to various places to pay New Year's greetings this year.

But it can't stop others from coming to the door actively.

In the third year of junior high school, Gu Yi went to the Baron's Mansion on behalf of the whole family, and the Qiao brothers were actually there, and they also said that one day they would go to the Huguo Mansion with Qiao Juan to pay New Year's greetings. Chi Rui took Chi Qiyu to visit the New Year on the fourth day of the new year and didn't see Gu Ci, and then Gu Xi was pestered by Chi Qiyu almost every day. Xia Bufan and Gu Chong have a friendship in Beiguan, and Chi Qiyu is the same style. Ren did come to the door by himself, and the person who received him was Ren Saiyuan, who was sitting in the study of the Malaysian Golden Knife. The sister and brother talked for a while, and after a few days, I heard that Ren He proposed to the king of Runan County, if there was no accident, Yuan Yu and Ren Qu's family affairs would soon be decided. Wu Shenqiu had a big belly, and when he returned to his parents' house in the second year of junior high school, he whispered to his younger brother, implicitly revealing that Gu Ci's family affairs might be an idea in the palace, Wu Shenyang was gloomy for a long time, and still didn't agree to look at the little lady of another family, he said to his family very seriously, "Ah Luan has been favored since he was a child, and he definitely doesn't like three wives and four concubines, and the people in the palace who think they are good, she may not necessarily agree, I, I still want to wait......"

Wu Shenqiu went back and told Gu Ao about it very annoyed, blaming himself for mentioning Gu too much, which made the little brother fall in love.

Gu Ao comforted her with a dark face, "Those who have only seen Ah Luan's side, aren't they also concerned." It's not that I'm boasting, Ah Luan really doesn't lack Lang Jun's like. It's good that Shen Yang has this heart, but if Ah Luan can't marry the prince, it is estimated that he will not marry. ”

Wu Shenqiu was shocked, "What is this!" How can such a good little girl be single for a lifetime. ”

Gu Ao gritted his teeth and said, "When the time comes, let her raise the prince in person!" ”

Wu Shenqiu hugged his son and held his stomach and smiled happily.

As for the sons and relatives of the other eldest princesses who wanted to propose marriage to Gu Ci, Yuyi refused all of them.

Gu Ci didn't care about all this, she was so entangled in how to send a letter to the prince to explain the matter of the Shangsi Festival, but unfortunately Gu Yi and Gu Yao joined forces, and this time they couldn't even get out of Bajie!

The prince's letter can come in every day, and the affection makes people blush and heartbeat, and he also said very thoughtfully that it was he who was too Meng Lang before, and she was not allowed to be free, so let her not worry, he would explain it to Gu Yao well. Seeing that she was worried, if he really confessed that he had done 'beast things', I am afraid that Gu Yao would not let them meet until they got married. Fortunately, a small lantern nestled by pigs and rabbits made by him on the Shangyuan Festival went all the way into Yin Wuju, and Gu Ci was relieved.

***********************

Ever since he went to Nandu to pick up his sister that day, Gu Xi has been very depressed. First, when he saw the prince, who had come to guard him a long time ago, he made a boring bet: if his sister took the initiative to ask about the prince when the prince did not show up, then the prince could participate in their brother and sister reunion.

Who knew that it was he who took the initiative to mention the prince......

When he got out of the car to signal the prince's people, he actually let Chi Qiyu, who broke into the barrier, accidentally see his sister who was half-exposed hibiscus. That bastard's eyes are sticking together!

Before, I didn't swear to frankly dislike Ah Luan who was more pampered than Chi Ai, but now, every day from early morning to dark, Lai is in the Qingyi Courtyard and does not leave!

The prince is also a bastard, he actually blatantly slept in his sister's room all night, is he warning the Gu family not to marry Ah Luan to someone else!?

In order to prevent the crown prince, from that day on, his father guarded the inner courtyard as strictly as the Jinluan Palace, and gave a death order, and those who looked like men were not allowed to enter the inner courtyard. After the New Year, Luan's letter can't leave the inner courtyard. He, the prospective groom who is waiting for next year's Mid-Autumn Festival to get married, is the first person responsible for Yin Wuju, and once there is anything wrong, it will be a double 'beating' of his father and third brother.

But my sister was a little depressed when she couldn't see the prince, and she had to stay at home during the Shangyuan Festival, so he couldn't bear to be nervous. It's better to write a letter and ask your daughter-in-law and let her come up with an idea.

***********************

Although Gu Ci, who couldn't deliver the letter, missed the prince's brother very much, he was also very busy. First, Long raised his head and sent away Gu Chong's husband and wife and Gu Ao, Gu Ao, Wu Shenqiu, who was seven catties, six six and waiting to give birth, stayed, and Mingxiu went to Shuofang City to buy land for the prince.

Let's take a good look at the industry under our name.

Danqing Pavilion's bamboo paper has eyebrows, the process needs to continue to improve, the paper is yellowish, and Gu Ci is not very satisfied. Satin Ayage's backpack and other external objects began to use buttons with buttonholes, and they are currently brainstorming various materials that can be used to make buttons, Gu Ci motioned to Jane Niangzi to ask Gu Yi, let her earn some extra money. Liuyingge's achievements deserve a great praise, although the stability of large pieces of glass is not enough, but small items even in the technology of mixing color inlay has been perfected, paperweight, pen wash, ink bed and other study utensils, beautiful pendants, bracelets, hairpins and other jewelry, as well as various shapes of glass buttons, all do a good mold, can be mass-produced, she plans to this year's festival will focus on sending glass utensils. In addition to adding a glass jewelry, the main products of the Bright Pavilion have established a high reputation for fragrances and pearls, and shells will also become a new favorite under Gu Ci's generous pen. This is also the reason why she and Yuan Yi proposed to build a Qingfeng Division to specialize in breeding and planting, she is afraid that after the shells become popular, they will be filled with human lives like pearls, and breeding animals instead of hunting fur is more environmentally friendly. The spinning machines of Gongqiaoge are about to be replaced, almost as much as they are seen in modern times. In addition to the bamboo, several varieties of bamboo suitable for carving were ordered by Gu Ci to be used for bamboo carving, and placed in the Danqing Pavilion together with charcoal, and sold very well. Years ago, Jiukangtang successfully researched how to breed clean maggots, Gu Ci didn't dare to observe, Xiao Lu was full of interest to live in Tiemei Temple for the New Year, and wanted to see the effect of decay with his own eyes. Before he left, Ai Ai said that the mold filaments grown from rotting clean meat would also have the effect of reducing fever and curing diseases, especially if the wound was large and tetanus was easy.

In the end, she had a good understanding of the economic situation and industrial structure of Sifang, and after discussing with Yuyi, who had Sun Wanshi, she decided to set up a winery of high-purity liquor, alcohol is to be continuously produced, high-grade liquor can be used to make medicinal wine for Jiukangtang, and a slightly lower one can be taken to Zhishuangzhai to sell, and the grain and grain needed can be bought from the fourth lady's Zhuangzi, at least more money than she can sell the grain. However, thinking of Gu Yiai's habit of becoming a shareholder, she was a little hesitant to resolutely refuse. To be on the safe side, she ran to ask Gu Yao, and it just so happened that Gu Yi was also there. Gu Yao took this matter over, and he came forward to mention it to Gu Jian.

Gu Xi turned around and looked for her again, and talked about the situation in the Baron's Mansion in detail.

Gu Hong obviously has the green eyes of the prince, and the matter of Hongdu is not over yet, so he is a little unsure of what to do next. Gu Wenkai did a good job, but he had been hesitant to take the test first, and wanted Gu Yi to refer to it in detail. To sum up, I just want to find out what the prince means first, and this matter can only be handed over to the baby sister, and he can barely help deliver the letter. Among the other brothers, Gu Wenheng really didn't have the talent to read, he secretly told Gu Yi that he wanted to go to Hongdu to learn cooking, but the fourth master would definitely kill him, begging for help. Gu Wenhui and Gu Wenhuai were afraid that they also had the same idea as Gu Wenheng, so they asked him to come out to explore the way. Gu Wenshen reads well enough, but only by hitting the luck can he be admitted to the lifting person, and he is just a showman, after the exam this autumn, if there is no play, please help. As for Gu Xiaolian and Gu Xiaoxi, who have not yet decided on a marriage, one of the four ladies doesn't care about it, and the other doesn't want to care, I'm afraid it depends on whether Gu Ci is willing to reach out and pull a hand.

Gu Ci thought about it seriously for a while before speaking, "I think that my brother will definitely only use one between the fourth brother and the sixth brother, and it is not bad for the sixth brother to take the exam first." It's good that Starling wants to be a chef, but I won't let him go to Zhishuangzhai, if you want to open your own restaurant, let's not interfere. If he just likes to learn this, it is actually easy, it is not difficult to get the teacher to say a word, and it is the same for several brothers who want to go to Hongdu. Sisters, I'll bring it with me when I have the chance, it's not a problem. ”

Gu Yi looked at her dotingly, "Ah Luan has really grown up." ”

Gu Ci raised his head proudly, and then gave him a big thunder, "Brother said that there may be a Qingfeng Division added to the Ministry of Industry soon, specializing in grain cultivation and skin and meat breeding." Which brother do you think is still a good person and won't cause trouble, you can try to be a scribe or a school. ”

“…… He even told you this? "Brother Dang is very jealous.

Gu Ci smiled sweetly and bowed his head silently.

"Ah Luan, if the prince treats you badly in the future, don't be sad, don't bear it, my brother will find you a small face, it will definitely be no less than his concubine. Remember? ”

She nodded in delight.

A few days later, Gu Ci sent the tiger bone wine and high-grade liquor that can be used externally to remove rheumatism into the palace, and asked the emperor to give them a name, and Sichun Winery and 'Baili Chun' were named in this way. It's a pity that the prince who sent the plaque still failed to meet his daughter-in-law.
