The East Garden, where Zhao Guogong and Mrs. Guogong lived, the landscape pavilion, was more than the West Garden, which was later expanded by the wall, and the layout style showed the thick heritage of the family.

Not like the West Garden, along the verandah, there is occasionally a white jade moon cave door, and the path behind the door leads to the courtyards everywhere. The layout of the East Garden is atmospheric, in addition to the main hall of the banquet in front of it, it is the Gu family's door, more than 100 side rooms where diners and staff live. Connected into a piece, the front and back of the house are planted with mangosteen, so the residence of the doorman will be nominated as "Qingjietang".

Gu's ancestral training, the back house is not allowed to be involved in foreign affairs. Therefore, the Lord of the Kingdom summoned him, and no woman in the house was allowed to set foot in the front yard.

Today is an exception, the bride needs to pay homage to the Gu clan relatives in the main hall.

According to the rules, the seventh girl left Chunying outside the second gate and followed him up the stone steps in front of the council hall alone. The people who arrived early in the room heard the waiter singing, and they stopped talking and set their eyes on the two of them.

He led her into the door, and the attendants who waited outside the temple carried the chair into the hall first. Then he turned around, raised his hand to hold her, and waited until she stepped forward with her feet safely, then turned back, and with a solemn face, he took her to the table.

He is not a man of manipulation in his clan. Now that he is in a high position, the Gu family is reluctant to take a stand because he is in charge of the heir, and he is reluctant to take a stand, so he naturally fell out of favor in front of the new king. At present, there are many things in the clan that still need to rely on his breath. When most people saw him, they took the initiative to show favor to him, and in addition to congratulating her, they were also a little more kind to her.

As for the remaining handful, they are lukewarm to him and his wife. Nodding from afar, it can be regarded as a greeting. Looking at her gaze, in the pickiness, there is a faint dislike of "but so".

Maybe it's because she's young, so she has a little contempt. took advantage of his back to greet the people around him, and he didn't even bother to hide the arrogance in his eyes.

She held her hand and sat down beside him. Because of his inconvenient legs, he did not sit on his knees like her. She straightened her skirt with both hands, and put her hands on her knees, straightening her back, but as if leaning on his legs.

"Sister-in-law." As soon as she sat down, a soft female voice came from overhead, as if calling her?

When I looked up, she was a girl of the same age as her, with a melon seed face, bright eyes, and an emerald green dress. The beautiful Danfeng's eyes were full of curiosity. Seeing her look up, he smiled and bent down to sit down next to her. But since she entered the door, among her peers, she was the first noble girl to recognize her identity and show kindness to her.

"Four girls?" She tried to summon people, and sure enough, she saw that the girl was laughing with joy. When she laughs, like her, the corners of her mouth show sweet dimples.

"Brother told me before my sister-in-law?" The fourth girl, Gu Zhen, peeked at her brother who was talking to her uncle, with stolen expectations in her heart.

The seventh girl thought to herself: Yes, I mentioned it. That man used you as a raft last time, and coaxed the Duchess of Guo to leave from Jiang Yu.

Seeing her nod cautiously, Gu Zhen jumped with joy and smiled like a flower. Before Zhao Guogong and Mrs. Guo arrived, they simply leaned over to her side and sat closer.

"Sister-in-law doesn't know, my brother is used to being strict in the house. I don't see a single smiling face in a year. Yesterday, my brother married my sister-in-law, but my sister could see it clearly, the corners of my brother's mouth had been crooked and had not fallen. ”

It can be seen that Gu Zhen admires and respects him. At this time, I talked to her about him in private, and most of the complaints were complained. Xu is not familiar with it yet, Gu Zhen is very careful in his speech, even so, he still can't hide the girl's liveliness.

"Sister-in-law, don't forget to go to your heart. Fang just came over to toast those uncles, who used to try their best to match the Eight Princes' Mansion and the Gu family. It didn't work out at this point, so I was a little cold to you. ”

Gu Zhen is also clever. I'm afraid that as soon as she enters the door, she will be snubbed, and she will feel uncomfortable. Hurry up and explain the reason.

I see. The seventh girl nodded secretly. She had been prepared before she came, and she never imagined that she would be able to please everyone present. Relying solely on her lackluster family background, wanting to integrate into the huge Gu family is like an idiot's dream.

After chatting about half a pillar of incense, Mrs. Guan's family was late. When Brother Yi saw her, his eyes lit up, and he excitedly broke free from Mrs. Switch's hand, and trotted into her arms.

She was a small child, but she had such strength that she almost fell on her back. The man next to him quickly leaned over, helped her sit upright, and protected her and Brother Yi steadily.

"Be careful." He turned back to protect people and did not reprimand Brother Yi. However, Mrs. Guan rushed over, showed a disapproving look, and took Brother Yi to the seat arranged earlier.

Brother Yi squeezed in front of her, his little head shook vigorously, pulling her with one hand, and climbing the handle of the chair under his seat with the other, reluctantly begging, "Brother Yi wants to sit at the same table with Uncle and Aunt." Afraid that Mrs. Guan would not agree, she climbed between the two of them again, stretched her robe, and sat upright, looking like he would be very obedient.

"That's it, he's it." He raised his hand to caress Brother Yi'er's head, which attracted the envy of the four girls beside her, and her mouth was curled. Secretly leaned over and said to her, "Sister-in-law, my brother must prefer my sister-in-law." ”

When he heard this, he only swept his eyes slightly, and Gu Zhenzhen shrank his neck like a mouse who saw a cat, immediately closed his mouth, and hid half of his body behind her.

Could it be that the fourth girl said something wrong? She looked up, thought deeply, and asked him with a small look.

Whether it is Brother Yi or Tuan Tuan, he loves him a lot. But his own sister-in-law, he rarely gives a good face. Not to mention Gu Zhen, even she thought that he was patriarchal. A common problem for men in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

He looked at her shining, vivid and translucent eyes, and his eyebrows jumped. Don't open your eyes, just ignore the messy thoughts in her head.

"Sister-in-law, my brother is so weak that he doesn't dare to look at you?" Gu Zhen covered his mouth, even if he covered it up again, the fuss and shouting still flowed out through the five fingers that were together.

The seventh girl looked at Gu Zhen as if she was a ghost, and saw that the man pursed his lips, and his handsome side face was not shocked. She coughed twice, holding back a near-laugh.

She had stayed by his side for so long, how could she not see that the corners of the man's eyes were gradually narrowing, which was a sign that he was about to open his mouth to reprimand.

He is used to being majestic in the house, and as soon as he was scolded by the four girls, he pointed out that he was "weak-hearted and didn't dare to look at her", but it is conceivable that this man can't hold his face.

She hurriedly became a good person and diverted the conversation, so that he would not preach to Gu Zhen. A serious ask the four girls, why the seats opposite, so far empty, at this time, should come, except for a few people on the main seat, one after another, should have arrived.

The fourth girl's face changed, and she found that the person was lowering her eyes to feed Brother Yi'er, as if she had no intention of stopping her, so she dared to reply in a low voice.

"Last year, there was chaos in Beijing, and several uncles in the family who held real power took their families overnight, wrapped themselves in softness, and wanted to flee from Gyeonggi. was intercepted by my brother's people in the middle of the road, and he was discouraged, and he turned back again. After that, the new monarch succeeded to the throne, and those who fled the chaos did not regret not being at the beginning. Relying on the merits earned by the clan over the years, he begged bitterly in front of his father, only begging the clan to spare this time. However, until now, Brother Ah resolutely refused to let go, and did not allow him to enter the council hall one step further. ”

The seventh girl suddenly said, "Last year was in chaos", isn't it that he was imprisoned in the palace by King Wen, and the Gu family is in turmoil, as if the building will fall for a while? No wonder, the trees fell and scattered, and the government of the country had not yet fallen, so everyone thought about taking the family property and fleeing for their lives. He is so tough, how can a person who can't rub sand in his eyes tolerate the betrayal of his people?

She even suspected that he meant to do so. Therefore, the formation of suspicion is to cut off the unstable factors in the clan. Otherwise, how could he have ambushed people early and arrested people back without leaking.

According to what she knew about the man, he would surely take advantage of the opportunity to gather power. It can be seen that now his control of the Gu family must be further advanced.

For Lord Guogong, the seven girls secretly thought: In the previous dynasty, he was in the camp step by step, no wonder Zhao Guogong recently played a piece of paper and went home on leave. The Zhu family formed a party in the court and abused their power, and they chose this time to retreat bravely, which is quite intriguing.

was secretly speculating, but I heard the waiter's report that the Lord and the ladies arrived.

The people stood up and stood solemnly. The seventh girl bowed slightly, without a trace, and secretly looked at the visitor.

When he came first, he was a middle-aged man, mighty and handsome, and when he was young, he should have been a beautiful man who was quite admired by women. The Duchess Xu she has seen, dignified and noble, tall and tall, in line with the Northland family magnates respected, the beauty of the woman's "huge". This huge refers to the woman's slender body, plump but not bloated.

After Xu's, there were several bright and graceful beauties lined up. They are all first-class appearances, and they are one in a hundred beauties.

The seventh girl looked at the maiden of the back house who was rushing in, stunned, and felt dizzy. A few steps away, all kinds of rouge powder smells on the women's bodies, and they only choked her nose.

She buried her head, twitched her nose, and as soon as she raised her eyes, she happened to look directly at the Duchess of Shangguo.

The gaze was peaceful. Peaceful to distant, alienated to empty. It's as if she's a whole person, insignificant. Zhao Guogong's Mansion has no room for her to intervene at all.

***********

As for Xipa, it is to be sent to the ancestral hall. The prince of the world will not cheat, in this regard, this man is very careful. It's like a dragon and phoenix happy candle, extinguished at the same time, he will feel that it is a good omen. Regarding the Duchess of Guo, the single Xiaoqi background is enough to make the Xu family dislike her. This is a deep-rooted prejudice of the class, just as there is a zài regional discrimination now. Since he knows that he can't be eliminated for a while, the son of the world will have no need to do day work.

There was a bug yesterday, thank you lazy cat, it has been corrected. The son of the world is a pushchair into the door, everyone reads happily.
