8 Dinner

Gu quit the upper room, and suddenly thought that she still didn't know where her brothers were, so she turned her head to look at Gan Tang: "Ah Tang, where are the brothers?" ”

Gan Tang pursed his lips and smiled calmly, and turned around to beckon a **-year-old little maid: "You go to the East Courtyard and ask, see where the Lang Jun are now." ”

The little maid gave a blessing, responded crisply, and walked out quickly.

Gu Ci was not in a hurry, and slowly walked out of the shade of the trees while watching the yard. Before she could walk out of the courtyard of the flower hall, Gu Chong strode towards her and picked her up. The whole process is done in one go, without any mud and water. Sure enough, he is worthy of being the third brother with the highest talent in martial arts in the Gu family's generation, and it is said that when he reaches the crown, Ye Ye may not be able to beat him.

Gu Chong smiled heartily: "Where does my sister want to play?" ”

"Third brother, are you all performing martial arts?"

"The second brother is in the yard, let's go find him first."

"Okay."

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

There are a lot of courtyards in the east courtyard, and from Gu Ci's point of view, even if there are ten more nephews in the future, they will be able to live. The four elder brothers live in a large courtyard closest to the corner gate, there are two large cross courtyards, the second brother and the third brother live in the east wing and one west, the seventh brother lives in the east wing, the younger brother lives in the west wing, and there are several big trees in the yard that two people hug together. It seems that there is a locust tree, and there is a locust cake to eat.

Gu Chong directly carried her into Gu Ao's study, Gu Ao was dipped in the ink pen to write, the ink fragrance was so thick that it could not be dissolved, and the black characters reflected the sunlight, shining on the paper, although the brushstrokes were still a little immature, but full of momentum. He writes in pavilion style, which should be square and plain, but there is a sense of flying and free in his pen.

Gu Ci looked at the words on the paper intently, and Gu Chong didn't let her go when he saw that she was interested.

Gu Ao stopped writing and looked at the two of them and couldn't help laughing, "Why don't you sit down, third child?" Ah Luan is here to recognize the door? ”

"Yes." Gu Ci replied with a smile, and then said to Gu Chong: "Third brother, put me down, I'm sinking now." ”

"What's the matter, Ah Luan is not heavy at all." Gu Chong said and turned her upside down, indicating that it was easy, and then sat down with her.

"Third brother, you are the best!" Gu Xiaomei's heart was full of joy.

Gu Ao poured tea for the two of them and smiled slightly, "Last time Ah Luan asked me to take it to the release pool, it can be said that the second brother is the best." ”

"I like my second brother the most!"

Gu Ao's eyes suddenly narrowed with a smile.

Gu Yi's voice came from outside: "Which one said he liked the seventh brother the most when he ate elbows?" ”

"Seventh Brother~" Gu Ci's voice was immediately so sweet that he was tired of it, "We haven't seen each other for almost two hours, I miss you the most!" ”

"That's my good sister." Gu Yi pinched her fleshy face and turned her head to the door, Gu Yi raised his eyebrows and smiled at her.

"Little brother, you are the gentlest!" A big flying kiss is given for free.

Gu Yi smiled contentedly, and let the little guy behind him come in and put down a box of snacks.

After appeasing the elder brothers, Gu Ci asked the two younger brothers curiously, "Didn't the third brother say that you were performing martial arts?" I'm back, and I still want to see it. ”

"I've run away today, and I've got dirt, so let's go another day." Gu Yi smiled innocently.

Just kidding, the dead boy of the Chi family has been treating the martial arts arena as his own every day recently, and he has brought a lot of guards to mix, and a group of big men have taken off their shirts and played wrestlers, which will not make enough trouble. It hurts your eyes so much, how can you let your sister pass!

"Okay. Wait for the next class break for my brothers. Gu Ci suddenly remembered about Yuan Yi, and hurriedly said to Gu Yi, "I entered the palace in the morning to see my seventh cousin, he sent me something, and I invited him to come to the house to eat elbows." ”

Gu Ao frowned slightly, "What to send you?" ”

"Two seals."

"Tomorrow, we'll pay him back ten, what kind of elbow to eat, and I have to come home." Gu Chong didn't have a good word for anyone who took advantage of his absence to play with his sister.

"But I've already agreed......

"It's okay, I'll invite him next time class breaks, let's treat him well." Gu Yi raised his eyebrows and smiled ill-intentionedly.

Gu Ao slightly bowed his head in agreement, and Gu Chong also reacted, Gu Ao had always abstained, and this matter was decided so happily.

GU CI PUT DOWN HER MIND AND BEGAN TO BLABLA HER BOUDOIR, SAYING THAT THE BED WAS VERY BIG, AND ALL BROTHERS WERE WELCOME TO SLEEP, OF COURSE, THEY HAD TO PASS THE MOTHER'S PASS FIRST.

The elder brothers took her to wipe out a plate of dim sum, planned to pay a cordial and friendly visit to her new nest, and lodged a solemn protest to the eldest princess: how could they prevent them from having a deep exchange and discussion with the lovely little sister? It's really not good, it's okay for my little sister to come to the East Courtyard to sleep for a few nights.

Gu Ci took her brothers back to the upper room and made a good fuss about Yuyi, and the four brothers were allowed to enter her cabin. Even so, Gu Chong still sighed for a long time, seeing that he was almost fifteen, and there was not much chance to hold his fragrant and soft sister after he tied his hair, and looked at Gu Chong who was secretly smug with dissatisfaction, with his age, he could still hold his sister to sleep, it was really jealous.

Seeing that it was almost time to go to Sixi Hall for dinner, Yuyi changed Gu Ci into a dark red shirt with short swings and narrow sleeves, removed the jade ornaments and bells and other things on his body, and wrapped a rice bead head rope. Dressed up, someone told Gu Yao in the outer courtyard, and asked Gu Ao to carry her and set off towards the Protector's Mansion together.

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

Sixi Hall is a large open hall, the cool breeze is blowing on all sides, most of the dinner at this time is the beginning of the unitary, this will be the sunset, but the octagonal glass tree lamp in the hall has been lit, and the lanterns outside are also hanged.

The long room arrived a little earlier, except for the fourth lady, the other elders were not there, but the brothers who didn't see him at noon today all came. The fourth lady pointed to the young man who had slipped away from Zhilan Yushu to Douding to introduce Gu Ci. The Protector Mansion has many sons and grandchildren in this life, a total of thirteen boys, and has always been envied. It's just a pity that there are not as many other houses as there are big houses.

There is a sister-in-law in the second room, the eldest man Gu Ke is thirteen years old, only a few months older than Gu Ao, he looks very dignified and dignified, and his appearance follows the second lady Xu is single eyelid, giving people a sense of steadfastness and credibility. The one who wants to be the big brother may not be the most talented, but he must be the most stable and thoughtful. Gu Ke was very kind to her, and sent a walnut carving Chang'e to the moon, which was completely unexpected, full of gods, and a feeling of being ready to come out, which really made her love unbearable.

The two sons-in-law of the third room, Shilang Gu Hong and Jiulang Gu Jue, followed the third master in office.

The fourth room's sister-in-law, Wulang Gu Xin, is eleven years old, and the concubine Balang Gu Wenheng is seven years old. Gu Xin is a model of Sven talent, white and delicate, with both the bookish spirit of the Qiao family and the arrogant style of the Gu family. It is said that he has been going to school at Qiao's house, and he reads very well, and he is very famous. He just gave her a small inkstone, polite and a little alienated. Gu Wenheng is Gu Fatba, who was beaten by Gu Yi, and it is really a round and fat body with a very solid body, and his eyes are like the Gu family's double eyelids and long eyes, but on the face of the big one, his facial features are crowded with panic. It is said that the fourth master looks most like Mrs. Fang, and his aunt is also one of the four masters' favorites, and his appearance should not be bad, why is he so chicken? There was still a bandage around her head, and she was stunned when she looked at her.

There are as many boys in the fifth room as there are in the long room, that is, four of them are concubines. Liulang Gu Wenkai is ten years old, and he was born to the same aunt as the eleventh girl, Gu Xiaoxi, and is the favorite child of the fifth master. He must look like his biological mother, with delicate eyebrows and eyes, red lips and white teeth, more beautiful than his own sister, but his eyes are flexible and a little restless. Shilang Gu Wenhui is seven years old, his appearance is plain and honest, and he is not as lively as Zhengtai should be. Eleventh Lang Gu Wenshen and Thirteenth Lang Gu Wenhuai are both six years old, and they wanted to pull her skirt when several brothers were not with her, but fortunately Gan Tang and Aunt Cai stopped them. It's so annoying to bear kids or something!

Gu Ci decided to stay away from the fifth room, people gather like others, and she didn't go through a trip to see a fool refresh the lower limit.

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

The noisy recognition of the elder brother ended, and the elders also arrived, except for the second uncle who couldn't get out of bed, the fourth and fifth uncles all gave Gu Ci a greeting gift and said a few good words.

Everyone sat down in turn for a feast.

Although it was a family feast, men and women were separated. What is somewhat different is that regardless of the male and female seats, except for Mrs. Fang and the old grandfather who sit at a table alone, everyone else is a separate table in one room, rather than an equal seat, and the table of the ladies in the long room is still the first with Mrs. Fang.

Come to think of it, it's just the father's side, the son respects Lao Tzu for granted, and it is very kind to not let Mrs. Fang sit down as a mother and her.

Gu Ci found that he didn't have to sit and eat with the sisters he just met, so that it wouldn't affect his appetite.

Mrs. Fang stopped her chopsticks after eating for a while, drank slowly with a glass of fruit wine, and looked at her with relish, "This kid has a really good appetite, it can be seen that the master has raised it well." ”

Yuyi smiled reservedly, also dropped the chopsticks, and replied lightly: "The other courtyard is clean and undisturbed, and it is indeed conducive to recuperation." ”

Seeing this, the first few people at the table also put down their chopsticks and wiped their lips with handkerchiefs.

Gu Ci didn't notice it, and found that he was still cooking rice, and he was a little at a loss: This is not allowed to eat? But there is still a small half bowl of rice soaked in fish soup in the bowl, so is it too ugly to leave it? He has always been a good boy with no leftovers......

"It's okay, it's okay, Aluan, you keep eating, it's good to be full." Mrs. Fang smiled kindly.

Gu Ci paused, didn't answer, and continued to eat the leftovers in the bowl. Anyway, my mother didn't speak, and Hu's mother didn't hint that she stopped talking, that is, she could eat it.

After eating a few bites of rice, she also put down her chopsticks and turned her head to let Hu's mother wipe her mouth.

"Ah Luan Ke wants some more sweet corn soup? And snacks. ”

"Mrs. Xie, you're full." In fact, it's a little worse than usual.

"Don't worry, you can eat whatever you want, and it's time to make it fresh." Mrs. Fang continued to radiate an aura of love.

"I don't particularly want to eat."

"But you can't get used to this cook's cooking? Next time, will you find a chef who makes salt dishes for you? ”

"I'm used to eating, I don't pick my mouth. I just ate almost, but I didn't want to have leftovers. ”

"It's just a few mouthfuls of food, and there's just a leftover, but don't hold on."

"'Who knows that Chinese food on the plate, every grain is hard', Master said that drinking and eating are not easy to come by, and they should not be wasted."

“…… What a good boy. Mrs. Fang's endurance is very long-lasting, and she changed the object to continue, "But this kind of child is easy to accumulate food, Mother Hu, you are an old person who does things, why don't you stare at the meal?" ”

"I didn't have any food. Why did Mrs. Tai say I ate too much? Can't eat like this in the house? Then I'll eat less next time......" Seeing that Hu's mother was going to squat down and confess, Gu Ci couldn't bear it. Even if she tried to make up for it afterwards, she still suffered the loss on the spot, so she didn't let this happen.

The almighty Fourth Lady saw Mrs. Fang choking, and immediately came to her aid, "It's a blessing for children to be able to eat, Mother, you're too worried." I think Ah Luan is very healthy like this. As he spoke, he touched Gu Yi's head. Today, seeing that the county lord ate well, Ah Shan also used half a bowl more than usual. ”

Mrs. Fang eased up, "Yes, if Wu Niang also has such a good appetite, I will be relieved." ”

Gu Yi answered with a smile, "It's all the blessing of the county lord, today's sweet and sour chops are very delicious." ”

"This dish is the mother-in-law's specialty in the kitchen, if you like it, just let her cook more on weekdays."

When the fifth lady heard this, she immediately smiled, "I also think it's very good to eat this braised ginseng and steamed anchovies, why don't we add these two dishes to our room on weekdays, what do you say, fourth sister-in-law?" ”

Gu Jing, the ninth girl in the fifth room, added in time, "Grandmother, this Dongpo meat is also delicious." ”

Seeing that everyone successfully crooked the building, Yuyi calmly rinsed her mouth and cleaned her hands, holding a tea bowl and drinking slowly. Gu Ci has learned the same, but he is more focused on the big drama in front of him.

Hearing the mother and daughter in the fifth room ordering like this, Gu Ci always felt that the fourth lady's smiling face had faded, and Mrs. Fang took the tea with a calm face and signaled to leave.

It was already the beginning of the lights outside, and a family feast without wine and pleasure ended uneventfully. The maids in the long room lit the glazed palace lamps they brought, and Mother Hu put on a pink and green thin cloak for Gu Ci, which was hugged by Gu Yao, and the group meandered towards the Qingyi Courtyard.
