When Yuan Yi took Gu Ci to Princess Chongyi's mansion, it was already dark, and on the way, he handed her over to Gu Yi, who came to meet, and asked them to enter through the back corner door, and then he appeared to go to the main gate. The two and a half boys were still ready how to fool her into being obedient, but Gu Ci felt so much like catching a rape, and he was very excited, and the degree of cooperation was unprecedentedly high.

The banquet of the male guests in front of them is set up in the water pavilion, and the female guests are in the flower hall on the shore, echoing each other from afar through a pool of lights.

The Gu Yi brothers and sisters entertained themselves on a small lotus boat without lights, drinking lotus stuff and eating side dishes. It's not far from both sides.

Gu Ci ate very happily, she has been here several times, and she is very appreciative of the chef of Chongyi's family.

Gu Yi looked funny on the side, and felt that she was really relieved, "Ah Luan is not curious at all? ”

"You've all brought me here, I'm sure you'll know in a moment. Brother Qi eats this, and the cook of Sister Zhen's family is not tired of making this lotus leaf rice at all. ”

The two of them ate sweetly, pushed the dining table back, and began to look at the situation above. The male guests are headed by Yuan Yi, and the stars are holding the moon, but there are not many accompanying guests, and Gu Ci basically doesn't know each other. Gu Yi pointed out to her on the side, the square-faced middle-aged man in royal blue clothes is Nongbangyan, the ugly fat man in red is Song Yu Tanhua, the Wei and Jin styles of Gu Zhuangyuanxue are Qingbu Mai, the two in the jade crown brocade robe are Chongyi's sons, the big Ye Wei and the small Ye Rui, the white-bearded old man who drinks silently in the corner is Ye Yuma, and the one who accompanies him is Sui Yuma, and sure enough, he is very personable and has a good appearance, no wonder Aunt Xiangyi takes a fancy to him at a glance.

"Seventh brother, is this a blind date for Sister Ye?"

"Nong Bangyan is married. Aunt Chongyi probably wants to see Tanhua. ”

"Where's the champion?"

"The man said that there was an engagement contract before the death of his parents, and it was not dissolved yet, so it was inconvenient to discuss it again."

"Excuses?"

"If others believe, that's a valid reason."

"That's a lot of meaning."

"Go back and ask Mingxiu."

The female dependents are all acquaintances of Gu Ci, Chongyi Xiangyi, the three sisters of the Ye family, and Sui Zhangzhu.

Ye Zhenzhen is the biggest, she has not yet decided on a marriage, today may be a banquet for her, Ye Mingming has made a baby kiss, and will marry the son of Ye Yuma's sister, Ye Momo can wait for two or three years.

The women's side of the table was removed, the scenery was changed, the incense burner veil, and the yaoqin were put on, and it seemed that someone wanted to perform. Sister Zhen is good at flute, Sister Meng loves Xiao, although Sister Mo has practice, but it is a bit reluctant to perform live, is it for Sister Sui?

Ye Zhenzhen played a song "Plugged Layman", and the young male guests composed a few poems in response to the occasion, the most serious one was really Song Tanhua, and the others were perfunctory.

It seems that there is a drama, but I don't know if Sister Zhen will fall in love with an ugly fat man......

Sui Zhangzhu really sat down to stroke the qin, and she played "Silent Night Thoughts". This song is quite long, listening to the sound of the piano is as smooth as falling pearls, it seems that she is skilled and has put a lot of effort into it. Sui Yuma was holding a jade Xiao in his hand, talking to Yuan Yi, and handed it to Yuan Yi after a while.

This is to play the piano and flute ensemble?!

It's a pity that Sui Concubine, your news is blocked, who said that the prince would give a?!

But doesn't Sui Zhangzhu know what this means?!!

She was ashamed to answer every time she saw herself before, could it be a show?!

Gu Ci hugged Seventh Brother's arm tightly, and listened to the sound of the piano indignantly.

It's still my sister's intimateness! Gu Yi touched her little head with great relief, "It's your turn." ”

What? She actually has a role in today?

The boat rowed leisurely to the berth on the side of the female dependent, Ah Yue jumped up, took Gu Ci, and went to the flower hall.

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

Gu Ci appeared in a majestic manner, startling a 'gulls and herons'.

The three sisters of the Ye family were pleasantly surprised, Ye Momo came directly and pulled her and said, "I'm just bored, so you will accompany me." ”

Chongyi also smiled kindly, "When did Ah Luan come over, why didn't anyone from the concierge come to report?" ”

Gu Ci smiled innocently: "My brother brought me here." ”

Xiangyi, who was originally quite calm, was immediately frightened that the teacup shattered to the ground, and her skirt was wet.

Sui Zhangzhuqin broke the strings and collapsed, and a bloody mark was drawn on his fingers, and he looked at her in horror, as if he had seen a ghost.

Gu Ci worked hard to learn from the eighth princess, and said with tears in her eyes, "Did I scare Aunt Xiangyi and Sister Sui?" I'm sorry, I just wanted to surprise you. ”

Ye Zhenzhen immediately comforted: "What's the matter, Aunt Xiangyi accidentally missed her hand, and Sister Zhangzhu was scared when she was injured." ”

Ye Mingming interface, "Yes, don't blame Ah Luan." Come, drink lotus leaf dew with Momo. ”

Mama Xi hurriedly took Xiangyi and Sui Zhangzhu to the clean room. Gu Ci happily chatted with Chongyi's mother and daughter, and seemed to have no idea that Xiangyi's mother and daughter never came back. During this period, she also contributed a short story of 'selling herself to bury her father' again, which made Chongyi's mother and daughter know more about Song Yu.

Ye Mingming sighed very much, "It's really the most amazing thing in the world, and there are people who are willing to recognize a dead man as their father casually." ”

"Song Tanhua is a good person." Ye Momo is very kind, "I don't know if he will make a move if he encounters this kind of thing in the future." ”

Gu Ci said, "Ganyu said that he has always been quite calm and completely angry. Have you seen too much? I treat saving people as a hobby, and I don't expect others to reciprocate or anything. ”

"Send someone to Liyun Class to inquire." Chongyi directly explained to her personal mother.

Ye Zhenzhen was shy and silent.

Gu Ci thought for a while and added, "Brother said, in fact, Song Tanhua's article is the best this time, but the main election official is a horse sacrifice wine, so he likes to be plain and unChinese, and he has no temper with the emperor, so the emperor didn't announce that anyone came to see him, and when he saw that his name was good, he set him Tanhua." ”

Chongyi laughed, "Gu Twelve said it, right?" This man doesn't rely on his face to eat, and after reading the collection published by your Danqing Pavilion, he also thinks that Song Tanhua's essay is well written. ”

Ye Momo said quickly, "I don't know what his father thinks, he gave this name." ”

Ye Mengming said: "Maybe people looked good when they were young." ”

Gu Ci made trouble, "It doesn't matter if others don't look good, just look at me." How beautiful I am! ”

Ye Zhenzhen couldn't help but laugh and scratched her face.

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

After the banquet, Gu Ci was still sitting on the prince Luan.

She kept rubbing her eyes, and Yuan Yi couldn't help but pat her distressedly, trying to coax her to sleep.

She held back her sleepiness and asked Gu Xi with a yawn.

"He went to meet Xiangyi's mother and daughter."

"Does my mother know?"

"I should know early tomorrow morning. Go to sleep. ”

Excuse: ZZZzzz......

On the other side, Xiangyi and Sui Zhangzhu, who sneaked away, met Gu Yi who was leisurely beating horses.

"Auntie, Cousin Sui, where are you going? Do you need me to send someone for a ride? ”

Xiangyi sat in the car and was sweating profusely, her handkerchief was twisted, and she couldn't say a complete sentence after squirming for a long time. Sui Zhangzhu even covered his mouth and nose, tears were in his eyes, and his face was blue and white. Mama Xi couldn't, so she took the initiative to come forward and reply, "Qilang-kun, our princess is preparing to return home, not far away, thank you for your kindness." ”

"Then the little nephew will go to Aunt Chongyi's house to pick up Ah Luan first, please!" With a wave of his whip, he led the crowd away.

Sui Zhangzhu watched the thin and tall back of the young man under fifteen go away in a dashing manner, crying even more uncontrollably, falling on the soft pillow and sobbing, almost losing his breath.

Since she knew that she would marry Gu Ao, she had already stopped thinking about Gu Ao. The two have met intermittently many times, and they also have some feelings for him, she has sent all kinds of embroidery fabrics during the New Year's holidays, and all kinds of gadgets he gave to Gu Ci have not been less than his own share. Today, she didn't want to do the thing of fuqin and begging Xiao in public, but her mother couldn't stand her father's months of pestering, and persuaded her to accept it. said that the prince's marriage queen mother doesn't look down on girls from wealthy families, and she doesn't want to have a big relative, so she plans to find a girl who is not in the official career, and prefers a clan faction, which is not only a cousin, close to the royal family, but also a false position, the best of both worlds.

After counting it carefully, the three girls in Chongyi's family are not suitable, the big and small, and the right age are married, so the Queen Mother asked Chongyi to look at each other. Although Ke Fangsi secretly agreed, her family must not be possible. Niu Tanfenghua Xueyue's temperament without sand in his eyes can't be the mother of the world at all. Liu Chuchu and Liu Mengmeng cannot be compared with themselves in terms of appearance or the dignity of their father's family. Gu Ci's family background is even more prominent, even if it is twice as big, it does not meet the requirements of the Queen Mother, let alone being only seven years old. The other eldest princesses didn't even have a title, and their daughters probably didn't even enter the palace gate again. If this is true, only you are the most suitable. And her mother also told her that today's banquet, everyone who comes will think that it is for Ye Zhenzhen, she just happens to play with the prince's qin flute, and no outsiders will know. Chongyi has entertained other school-age girls alone like this many times before, and there is no wind outside, so it must be no problem. If she really enters the eyes of the prince, it will not be difficult to divorce Gu Xi, if there is no such fate, the Gu family has always kept its promises, and Gu Xi does not need to worry about it. Let her just dress up beautifully and play a song with her heart, her father has inquired about the prince's preferences, and he will beat the side drum when the time comes. After thinking about it, she was aggrieved and reluctantly agreed.

Who knew that Gu Ci would come!

After returning to the princess's mansion, Xiangyi sent someone to wait for Sui Juma at the door, and the mother and daughter sat opposite each other and wiped their tears, completely disorganized.

"What can I do? Ah Luan is so young, she can't hide her words at all, tomorrow's sister must know! Xiangyi couldn't wait to pick up the soaked handkerchief and bite it.

"Mother...... Can...... Let...... Sister Luan...... Other...... Talking nonsense? Sui Zhangzhu sobbed and pleaded.

Mama Xi retreated, and stood aside with a sigh of exhaustion. She had persuaded the princess and the girl before, but they didn't listen to them at all.

"Princess, according to the old slave's humble opinion, I will go and apologize to the eighteenth princess tomorrow. If there is disharmony, I am afraid that I can only withdraw from my family. ”

"How can that be! The prince may not believe it......"

"Wow......" Sui Zhangzhu cried even more fiercely.

Sui Zidu entered the door and saw the mother and daughter with swollen eyes.

"Yo, what's going on? Isn't it just that it doesn't play well, as for it? Sui said with a smile.

In the past few days, in order to coax Xiangyi, he has spent more time with his daughter-in-law, and he also feels that the princess's daughter is indeed better than his aunt's child, which gives him a lot of face, not to mention that the child that Aunt Wen was pregnant with before has been lost, and he still only has this one daughter to marry. Today, the prince and he have a good time, if there is another matchmaker who is full of weight, and his daughter and Mr. have a son, it is not impossible for him to become the prince in the future.

Xiangyi took her daughter away and said what happened uninvited tonight.

"A little girl, what else do I think of?" Sui Zidu said indifferently, "The prince and I have a deed, and I have already invited him to come to the mansion as a guest in the near future." On the eldest princess's side, she didn't even have a letter of marriage, so she could just retire. ”

Xiangyi began to be in a dilemma again, "If the prince's side doesn't make ......"

"When the prince arrives at the mansion, Zhangzhu has a chance," then lowered his voice and said, "Even if it is worse, it will be a side concubine." ”

"You! How dare you let Zhangzhu be a concubine! Xiangyi suddenly jumped up and asked sharply.

"Stupid woman! Are the prince's concubines ordinary concubines? That depends on whose belly the next prince crawls out of! After Sui Zidu shouted angrily, he immediately suppressed his anger and persuaded with kind words, "Don't forget, you have offended the Zhongshan King family, if you can't rely on the prince, we won't get any benefits." The Gu family is good, but the Gu family in the eyes of the prince will be Gu Er and Gu San in the future, a grandfather of the country and a general of Zhenbei, what is the matter with Gu Qi? The latter two sons only had to eat and wait for death. ”

"That'...... But ......" Xiangyi has always eaten him, and his anger is like snow on the side of the fire.

"You have to think about it like this, if Zhangzhu follows the prince directly, the Gu family will only be a royal prince in the future. There are so many women in the prince, who can be closer to the Gu family than Zhangzhu? The Gu family will naturally help us palm beads and give birth to a son, why is it difficult to be a queen? Isn't this much better than marrying Gu Qiqiang, who has nothing now? ”

“…… It's too risky! If it doesn't work, the palm beads will ...... later"

"Things are only done in your own home, and it will not affect the reputation of Zhangzhu. My Wen Changbo is such a daughter, or a golden branch and jade leaf, where can I worry about marrying? If it were Gu Er, of course I wouldn't think about him, but Gu Qi was not beautiful after all. I'm also thinking about my daughter's future......"

Sui Zidu said while caressing Xiangyi's back, and soon persuaded his wife to withdraw from her relatives tomorrow.

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

In the early morning of the next day, Gu Ci stayed by Yuyi's side early, watching her settle accounts, not knowing what to say, and tangled with Bajie in circles.

Mother Hu has told her all about last night's incident, Yuyi knows little about her daughter's scriptures, and she has no objection to Gu Yi and Yuan Yi taking her, this will see her scratching her heart with a hundred claws, and in order to tease her, she pretended not to pay attention and has been busy. Who knew that this stupid daughter really didn't bother obediently and waited aside.

I had something at hand, and I was about to play a parent-child game, when Xiangyi came. Just look at Gu Ci's face changed, and his little face wrinkled angrily. Yuyi directly sent her into the floor-to-ceiling screen between the small shoots, and then called someone in.

Greeting and sitting, Yuyi behaved as usual, but Xiangyi on the opposite side was restless.

"Why didn't you bring the palm beads here today?"

Xiangyi hesitated for a long time before saying, "Zhangzhu is uncomfortable getting up early, and I'll come back to you another day to say goodbye." ”

In fact, it was Sui Zhangzhu who felt that his face was dull, and he cried so much that his face was swollen and his eyes were floating and he couldn't see anyone.

"Ah Luan, this little girl also came back late last night, I'm afraid she hasn't woken up yet."

Speaking of Gu Ci, Xiangyi stiffened her body as if she had been pricked by a needle, and said, "We didn't stay much in Chongyi last night, but I don't know when Ah Luan left......

"Oh? Are you and Zhangzhu too? ”

Xiangyi blurted out in surprise, "Ah Luan didn't tell you anything?!" ”

"What should Luan say to me?"

“…… It's nothing, I just think last night was lively, and Ah Luan should come back and talk to you non-stop......"

Yuyi was silent, serving tea and drinking slowly, and Xiangyi was also stunned for a while.

After a long time, Xiangyi wanted to wake up suddenly, lowered her head and whispered, "...... Then, I'll take my leave first, there are still some things in the house......"

Yuyi slowly straightened her cuffs, and when Gu Ci saw it behind the screen, she knew that her mother was angry. Every time I want to teach Seventh Brother a lesson, it is the opening action like this, just like the director shouting 'ACTION'.

"That's it? I thought you had something to explain to me about last night. ”

Xiangyi was struck by lightning, slumped in her chair in amazement, and looked at Yuyi with teary eyes.

Mama Xi stepped forward and knelt on the ground, "Please also ask the eighteenth princess to be gracious, our princess ......"

Yuyi glanced at her, and Mama Xie and Caixing covered their mouths and dragged people with their hands and feet.

In addition to Gu Ci, who was used as a prop, there were only two sisters left.

Yuyi pointed at Xiangyi angrily, "If you come directly to me and say goodbye, I will praise you for being decisive." This will be in front of me, want to play with two boats, nineteen, you really think I am your sister?! ”

Xiangyi's movements paused, and she began to cry, "I have no intention of withdrawing from my family!" Not me! I'm just forced to be helpless, so I can only let the palm beads deal with it! My sister knows that I have always been timid and cranky, and the son of Zidu and the Xiuning Hou family did not get married, which annoyed the Zhongshan Wang family, so Zidu had to try his best to rely on the prince......"

"So you're using my son as a pedal?! Don't think I don't know how Sui Zi talked to the prince! ”

It's not as long as he sees Gu Xi and the prince together, Sui Zidu will go over to put the old father-in-law's genealogy.

"I, I don't know what to do, sister, you teach me, please!" Xiangyi almost fainted from crying, and knelt on the ground and looked at Yuyi with rain.

Yuyi said indifferently, "The family affair naturally has to be retreated, and my son is distressed by myself." If you are willing to follow the Sui family to death, you will go by yourself. ”

"Something will happen to the son?" Xiangyi was taken aback, and cried again, "What can I do in the future?" ”

"It's okay now, and it won't get better in the future." Yuyi was annoyed by her crying, and slapped the table, "I only have two ways for you, one is to reconcile with Sui Zi, Zhangzhu is still my niece, and I will show you a few people about her marriage." The second is that you listen to Sui Zidu's words, you can do whatever you like, and the Gu family will not get along with you in the future. ”

Xiangyi cried even more, she could only cry, crying there vigorously, and no matter what Yuyi said, she couldn't answer a charter. In the end, Yuyi was so tired that she didn't bother to take care of it, so she directly asked someone to bring Mama Xi to Xiangyi to clean up, and explained, 'If you don't reconcile with Sui Zi, don't think about entering my door again'. Swept the two men into the carriage.

After Gu resigned, she comforted her mother, but Yuyi didn't say anything to her daughter, just asked her to think about it from time to time when she had time in the future. Call Gu Yi again, tell him about quitting his family, and let the brothers and sisters go out to have fun.
