Chapter 91: Family Feast, Glory in Front of the Palace (2)
Inside the Jade Prince's Mansion.
"Lord Wang, do you need your subordinates to do something?" Gongzi Feng asked Yuqing Rang.
Before the people of the Gu family knew anything, Yuqing Rang already knew about it.
Yuqing rang was silent for a while after hearing this, and only when he heard Gongzifeng ask, he responded, "No, this king also wants to see how far she can go." ”
Gongzi Feng didn't speak, looking at his prince.
The prince's eyes narrowed slightly, and he knew that he must be thinking about something in his heart.
Gu Honglian wants to stand by the side of the prince, this should be certain!
There is really nothing that can escape from the people that the prince believes, but what kind of position does the prince want Gu Honglian to stand on, or what kind of posture does he want to stand by his side, this is worth exploring.
Thinking about it, Yuqing suddenly stood up.
"Prepare the carriage, this king is going to go out of the palace." He said.
Gongzi Feng didn't know, but he still responded, "Yes!" ”
Gufu, the previous topic continues.
"Everyone is here today, and there is one thing that you should all know." The old lady spoke up.
The children who had already sat down quieted down and looked at the old lady on the throne.
This matter is, naturally:
"Concubine Niangniang has asked people to pass the word, this year's Moon Worship Festival, our ancient family is in charge."
As soon as he spoke, all the tables suddenly opened in whispers.
"This is a great honor." The old man and the others quieted down and continued, "Boss. ”
He shouted the ancient formation.
Gu Zhen was at the same table with the old man and sat next to him.
"Daddy."
"You are responsible for this matter, anyway, the mother is also in your room, there are some things, you also go to ask clearly, don't go wrong."
"Yes, Dad!" The ancient formation should be lowered.
This moon worship festival is held every year, but I didn't expect that now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, it will continue to continue.
Gu Honglian listened, this kind of family banquet is really boring, and the dishes on the table are already on the table, but it is estimated that it is basically just a matter of watching, and it can only be eaten after the call is finished.
Even the little hairy children who are five or six years old are under the constraints of adults, and they only dare to look at it.
Fortunately, she had already asked Shuang'er to open a small stove, and after she finished speaking, she would find a reason to leave the table and go back.
No one will care anyway.
She was bored thinking, sure enough, the things in the house were the most boring, and now that she thought about it, it was good that she went to the wilderness, if she wanted to stay here to deal with these people, it would be a headache to think about!
"Everyone cares, why don't you seem to be interested?" Gu Xiangjue, who was beside her, asked her softly.
Gu Honglian glanced at him, "Well, boring." ”
She was so unceremonious that she spoke directly.
"Why? It would be a great honor to come out on top at the Moon Worship Festival. It's also an opportunity for the world to recognize your abilities! He said.
Gu Honglian pursed her lips, "I don't need others to admit my excellence." ”
Her understatement made Gu Xiangjue's heart skip a beat.
Gu Honglian didn't know that this Gu Xiangjue was "excellent", but he cared very much about other people's opinions, so forcing himself to be so good is estimated to be related to the growth environment!
He knew that only being good enough could change his "identity and status".
She wasn't interested, though.
"Excellent, don't you need to be recognized?" He muttered something under his breath.
Someone listened to the corner and suddenly said, "Are you afraid that you will lose the first level?" ”
When Gu Xiangjue heard this, she also looked at Gu Honglian, but she was even more lazy and didn't even bother to raise her eyebrows.
Yes, there may be another reason for saying this kind of thing, that is, I am afraid of losing, so I said it on purpose! However, why did he feel in his heart that she was not cowardly when she said this.
As for why, he didn't know, but he felt that she didn't seem to be the "cousin" before.
"Lian'er." Suddenly, the old lady opened her mouth and called her.
Gu Honglian restrained his posture slightly, and saw that the old lady was neither humble nor arrogant, "Grandfather, Lian'er is here." ”
"You participate too." The old lady said.
The people present for a while suddenly quieted down, and it was really quiet that Ye Luo could smell quiet.
The first to react was the Jin family, and then he pulled Gu Zhen's sleeve, Gu Zhen frowned and said to the old lady: "Dad, it's not appropriate, Lian'er will be embarrassed if she competes." ”
Gu Honglian's heart was sullen for a moment.
This cheap father, she really hasn't been a relative, but now, a father who says "his daughter" so unhesitatingly makes her heart half cold.
His words were not a kind of modesty, but he just felt that she would be ashamed.
"No problem." The old lady did not change his mind.
When Gu Honglian mentioned it to her in Shuang'er, she knew that the annual family feast was somewhat similar to the "vindictive" society, the activity of selecting "elites" from among the children, and there was no "imperial examination" in this era, so this form had to play a role in disguise.
It's just that women can also participate.
And this time, Xindi also let the Gu family host the activities that were originally held by the five major families, and at the same time, the people of the competition were also extended to the children of those small families, and the purpose of recruiting talents became more and more obvious.
When the balance between these families is broken, he will slowly disintegrate the family power and concentrate the imperial power.
However, these are deep interests, so let's not mention them for the time being, just say that if the children involved lose badly, it is also a shameful thing.
Gu Zhen didn't know why the old lady had to let Gu Honglian participate, but the old lady had no room to change his mind at all, and he couldn't say.
To participate or not to participate, for Gu Honglian, there is really no difference.
"I can't let a girl who can't get on the stage come to this kind of party."
Suddenly, the old lady, who had not spoken all this time, spoke.
"Don't talk too much." The old lady frowned.
The old lady usually doesn't help much, so she manages and manages the inner courtyard, but she cares about this matter very much, because the matter of Gu Honglian's "Ke family" a while ago is already a thorn in her heart.
The old lady doesn't believe it, and even if she does, she won't show it, but the old lady is different!
She cares very much and believes very much!
"There are many excellent people in our ancient family." The old lady said again.
Gu Honglian was hungry and in a bad mood, and the old lady continued, "I have discussed with the eldest daughter-in-law, and I will send her to Pushan Nunnery in a few days, so she doesn't have to participate in these things." ”
There was silence at the dinner table again, but everyone looked at Gu Honglian with inexplicable eyes, some sympathy, some laughs, and some disgust.
"Rub", Gu Honglian suddenly got up.
It turned out that the matter of sending her to the nunnery was still for this old lady's share!
"I don't pray for blessings, I only pray for people!" She snorted.
Go to the nunnery to pray for their ancient family?
They have a bad brain to have this kind of thinking!
The old lady was alarmed by her rude behavior, and when she heard her say this, she coughed violently, "You! What kind of attitude do you have! ”
"I'm sorry, it's not that you want to send me to the wilderness, you can go to the wilderness, you can go to the nunnery wherever you go, I said, since you don't want to see me, then I voluntarily leave the clan!" She said, "You just thought I was dead in the wilderness." ”
She was angry in front of everyone, also because she really thought it was boring to make do with these people like this!
"You!" The old lady couldn't hold her breath and almost fainted.
Jin quickly got up and walked to the old lady to comfort her.
Gu Honglian doesn't care, she gave others face, but others treat her as a joke, what is she doing with such restraint?
"Come on, take her down, and the family law will serve!" Gu Zhen spoke.
Gu Hong practiced a wave of his hand, "Family law? Where is there a home? Why do you want to do it to me? ”
"Presumptuous, you unfilial daughter!" The ancient array is also angry.
For a while, the scene was a little chaotic, and they couldn't imagine that Gu Honglian's "outburst" would actually look like this.
And so disregarding the occasion.
The old lady wanted to help Gu Honglian, but her attitude also made him slightly annoyed, her withered hands were clenched, and her eyes were fierce.
"Come on, take them down for me!" The ancient array was already really angry.
All of a sudden, more than a dozen family members stepped forward, and a few children and grandchildren helped, and they naturally knew martial arts.
Gu Honglian is not a fierce person after all, it is naturally impossible to use a gun in the face of these people, and he can't shoot directly, there are many of them, and he took her down a few times.
"Take people to the penal field." Gu Jin ordered.
"Yes!"
At this time, an order came from outside: "King Yan, the prince has arrived!" ”
