The Tan family's birthday banquet was full of friends.

The huge flower hall next to the main hall of the inner courtyard was already full of people.

The lady in charge came out, the eldest lady stood in front of her to greet her, and Gu Jinzhi only followed behind the queen mother, silent.

After entering the flower hall, six or seven ladies and grandmothers of the Tan family came over to say hello.

It can be seen that the Tan family has a large population.

Gu Jinzhi remembered the Zhu family in his previous life.

The Zhu family is also prosperous.

Gu Jinzhi followed his mother and eldest aunt to salute the old lady of the Tan family.

The old lady of the Tan family is a little fat, with a round face, and her eyes can be narrowed into a slit with a smile, so she looks very amiable.

She looked not shrewd and capable, but a very cheerful and optimistic old lady. The smile on the face is natural and kind, and it is easy to make people feel good.

When Gu Jinzhi and his mother went over to salute, Old Madam Tan's gaze turned on Gu Jinzhi's face, and there was no deep meaning. The different color flashed, and he asked her with a smile: "Is this Miss Gu Qi?" ”

She didn't mention Gu Jin's divine doctor.

Looking at the famous family, the doctor is a little lowly.

"Yes, the old ancestor Shoubi Nanshan." Gu Jin's way.

Old Madam Tan smiled, beckoned Gu Jinzhi to sit beside her, looked at it carefully, praised Gu Jinzhi's beauty.

There are many visitors today, and Mrs. Tan is not good at favoring one over the other, she praised Gu Jinzhi a few words, and didn't say anything more, so she asked the eldest lady of the Tan family to accompany them and go out to sit at the table to listen to the play.

"It's really strange...... "After sitting down, the eldest lady whispered to Song Pan'er, "Several ladies and grandmothers of the Tan family looked strange when they met Sister Jin at the door of the weeping flowers, and they couldn't say it clearly. Even the old lady just now. His eyes blinked, as if he had been surprised. ”

Song Paner also noticed it.

She thought she was too careful.

Hearing the eldest lady say this, she couldn't help but be suspicious.

"yes." Song Pan'er said, "I also saw it, especially their second grandmother, as if she had seen a ghost, if it weren't for the third grandmother pinching on the side, she was afraid that she would lose her temper...... What's going on? Sister Jin has nothing to do with their family......"

As she spoke, the eyes of the two of them fell on Gu Jinzhi.

A song of joy and sorrow is being sung on the stage. Gu Jinzhi couldn't understand it, so he concentrated on listening to what words he was singing.

She didn't notice the eyes of Song Paner and the eldest lady.

When he entered the door, Gu Jinzhi also saw the different colors of the ladies and grandmothers of the Tan family, as well as the old ladies of the Tan family.

It's just that. She never liked to think too much, so she thought about it slightly. Because they didn't know much about the Tan family, Gu Jin couldn't guess their strange gaze for a while.

She didn't take it to heart.

Song Paner and the eldest lady looked at her several times, and she didn't react, a simple and pure girl, who only knew how to listen to the play. I looked away.

"Don't be overly careful, right?" The eldest lady said to Song Pan'er with a smile.

She was comforting Song Paner.

The Tan family is indeed a little unusual, that's for sure. But the eldest lady has no contact with the Tan family, she doesn't know the inside story, and she doesn't know where to inquire. She had doubts in her mind. It's not good to always mention it, I swept Song Paner's interest in watching the play, so I had to pay more attention to it secretly.

The eldest lady is not familiar with the Tan family, and Song Paner is the first time to come to the door. Even more confused than the eldest lady.

Hearing the eldest lady say this, Song Paner also said: "Maybe it's ......" but her heart was always not very steady.

Then. The third lady, the fourth lady, the fourth grandmother, and the eleventh lady of the Tan family all came to say hello, and their expressions were calm and nothing unusual.

Song Paner and the eldest lady exchanged a look.

Before the song was over on the stage, the banquet had already been set.

Song Pan'er and the eldest lady got up with everyone and went to the flower hall in front to sit down, with Gu Jinzhi following them.

The wives who shared the table with Song Paner had some contacts in private, and they spoke happily to each other, and the doubts in Song Paner's heart also dispersed.

Gu Jinzhi also moved to the girls' table.

The banquet lasted about an hour.

After eating, the crowd did not leave.

Some people still go to the theater; Some people followed the ladies and grandmothers of the Tan family to go to the back garden of the Tan family, and heard that in the back garden of the Tan family, chrysanthemums and osmanthus were all in full bloom.

In the southwest corner of the Tan family, there is also a huge lotus pond.

At this time, the lotus canopy has already matured, and the lotus leaves have not yet withered, which is the time for fun.

The second lady of the Tan family has already arranged a cruise ship, and she can swim in the lake and pick lotuses.

The guests in the hall were immediately divided into three groups.

Gu Jinzhi was not interested in visiting the garden, and Song Paner and the eldest lady had their own thoughts, and they didn't want to go around, they just wanted to leave at the right time.

They went to the theater again.

In fact, there are the most people who listen to the play.

There are also many young girls, including those who accompany their elders to listen to the play.

Song Paner remembered what her sister-in-law said to her in the car, and couldn't help but purse her lips and smile.

She and the eldest lady kept whispering, and the two of them pointed at the rest of the guests who hadn't gone shopping.

Gu Jinzhi followed the gaze of the two of them and saw many ladies around them, all with young girls, and Hu Jie was one of them.

Gu Jinzhi vaguely understood something.

I remember that a few days ago, my mother went to ask my aunt about the Tan family, and I heard that the eighth young master of the Tan family's big house had come back from the northwest camp and had already found an errand in the Fifth Army Camp.

That eighth young master is the younger brother of Concubine Tan in the palace. He is twenty years old this year, which is the age of marriage.

The eldest aunt said that someone sang today, which is probably what she meant.

To be able to marry the Tan family, it should be a broken head, right?

This really has nothing to do with the Gu family. The girls of the appropriate age of the Gu family are all engaged.

Gu Jinzhi sat quietly, the maids brought tea, she drank tea, and her eyes casually glanced at Hu Jie not far away.

If it was really as Gu Jinzhi guessed, why did Hu Jie come today?

Hu Jie is not from the Hou Sect, her father is only a small Wupin Lang in the Criminal Department, and their family and the Hou Hu family of Yongxi have already been out of the third suit.

In this competition, Hu Jie has no hope, right?

She looks good, but the Tan family is such a family, how can choosing a daughter-in-law put appearance first? Besides, there are many young ladies who are as beautiful as her and have meritorious backgrounds......

Gu Jinzhi suddenly didn't quite understand the intention of Mrs. Yongxi and Mrs. Hu Jie to bring her.

Her mind turned, and the thought lingered.

"Mother, look at Hu Jie." Gu Jinzhi thought for a moment. Or decided to confirm it to his mother, "The lady of the Yongxi Marquis Mansion loves her very much, right?" ”

Song Pan'er looked at Gu Jinzhi's fingers.

Hu Jie was beside Mrs. Hu, and Mrs. Hu whispered something to her.

Song Pan'er sneered.

She shook her head, patted Gu Jinzhi's hand gently, and said, "It's not about us, listen to your play......"

But that low chuckle has been confirmed.

Gu Jinzhi and Hu Jie didn't have any friendship, and this matter had nothing to do with her.

Sure enough, she listened to the drama again. No further words.

After singing a song, there was a lively fight scene behind.

Many ladies and ladies don't like to watch this kind of lively drama, and the ladies of the Tan family come to invite them, and when they go to the garden, some people leave the table.

Never leave the table. It's all a family with a young girl around them.

They seemed to be waiting for something.

Song Paner and the eldest lady didn't know, looking at the crowd that gradually dispersed, and those who stayed to watch the play obviously knew in their hearts and had their own plans.

So the eldest lady was not ready to make fun of herself, so she said to Song Paner: "I heard that there is also a lotus pond." Let's take a boat to ......."

Gu Jinzhi had another menstrual affair, and she didn't want to move.

"Mother. You and your aunt go, I like to listen to this, and then I will go after listening to it...... "Gu Jin's way."

Song Pan'er pulled her with a smile: "I'm lazy again!" Do you want me to serve your aunt? Now it's only your daughter......"

Gu Jinzhi couldn't stand it, so she had to get up and leave the table with her mother and aunt.

saw that Gu Jinzhi was also gone. Hu Jie, who was not far away, couldn't sit still.

She also had an itch in her heart, and she really wanted to go rowing in the lotus pond behind her.

She wasn't interested in these scenes, and she couldn't understand them, so they were boring.

She whispered to Mrs. Yongxi Hou: "Ancestor. Everybody's gone, let's ......"

The words are not finished. Mrs. Hu glanced at her coldly.

Hu Jie was very afraid of this lady, her heart twitched, and she didn't dare to make a sound.

"Aren't all people in this room?" Mrs. Hu's voice was cold, "Where did you come from, 'everyone is gone'?" ”

Hu Jie's face was hot.

――――――

Seeing Song Pan'er, the eldest lady, and Gu Jinzhi get up, it happened that the sixth grandmother of the Tan family came back from sending the guests, and hurriedly greeted them and took them to the pond.

Along the way, she looked at Gu Jinzhi very carefully.

Song Pan'er coughed lightly.

Grandma Tan Liu knew that people were paying attention, so she didn't dare to look at it anymore.

A few wisps of confusion flashed in Gu Jinzhi's eyes.

Bypassing the cloisters in a few places, we arrived at the entrance of the garden.

Laughter could be heard in the distance.

A little girl wearing a pink butterfly and a flower gown ran out of it and crashed into Gu Jinzhi's arms.

This little girl was about five or six years old, and she was very cute.

Gu Jinzhi was stumbled by her.

Song Paner hurriedly supported her daughter.

The sixth grandmother of the Tan family also hurriedly supported the little girl, and said in a low voice: "Sister Yu, what are you doing in such a hurry?" Then he hugged the little girl and apologized to Song Paner and Gu Jinzhi, "This is the fourth miss of the uncle's family, I'm really sorry, I hit the seventh miss ......"

This is the great-grandchildren of the Tan family.

Gu Jinzhi stood up and said that it was okay.

Song Paner also smiled and said: "It's okay, it's okay, children are naughty......"

The little girl was held in the arms of the sixth grandmother, and she didn't dare to look at people, so she called the sixth aunt in a low voice: "The eighth uncle has arrived at the door, I will go to find the eighth uncle." ”

"First tell Aunt Gu that I'm sorry......" The sixth grandmother coaxed her, "Sister Yu is ......"

The little girl raised her eyes, looked at Gu Jinzhi timidly, and said sorry.

As soon as a word came out, the little girl finally saw Gu Jinzhi's face clearly.

She suddenly struggled to pounce on Gu Jinzhi and cried: "Auntie, aunt! ”

The sixth grandmother was defenseless, so she struggled to get off the ground.

The little girl smashed her head on Gu Jinzhi, hugged her waist tightly, buried her head in her waist, and cried: "Auntie, Sister Yu is good, aunt don't go!" ”

In an instant, everyone, including Gu Jinzhi, changed their faces.

――――――

My eyes have been very uncomfortable for the past two days, and the usual eye drops have not worked, and I am suffering. Ask for a pink ticket......
