Time flies like a white horse, fleeting. There is nothing abnormal about Gu Yanxun's daily life when he comes back, the maid's sister Lingding still goes out early and returns late every day, everyone is used to her elusiveness, the old woman still holds Lin'er, occasionally pulls General Gu to talk homely, and will chuckle a few times when she speaks, but more often she is really crying.

It had snowed all night last night, and a thick layer was spread on the bluestone slabs, and it creaked when walking on it. This day was a little earlier than usual, and the maid's sister Lingding carried Gu Xing to the old woman's room before dawn and walked out alone. The old woman looked at Gu Xing with a beaming expression.

When the old woman carried Gu Xing to the lobby, Gu Xing was stunned by the scene in front of her.

The Gu Mansion, which was full of lights, was already filled with all kinds of strangers, crowded with people, shoulder to shoulder. Some people are dressed in fine clothes and comb their hair in a bun, looking honorable and luxurious; Some people are coarsely clothed in linen, and their faces are still muddy and slightly shabby; There were also people dressed in strong suits, holding weapons, and smiling in the crowd to say hello, these groups of people gathered together, there was no abrupt abnormality, feeling that they should appear here today.

And the maid sister, who was usually as cold as ice, was also dressed in red clothes and greeted the guests at the gate.

When the old woman appeared, the bustling crowd suddenly quieted down, bowed to the old woman in unison, and said in unison, "I wish Mrs. Gu a happy grandson, I wish General Gu a successor, and I wish the foundation of Gufu will last forever." ”

"Have these been rehearsed before? So harmonious? Gu Xing thought secretly. After listening to these people's words, the old woman smiled so that everyone did not have to be formal, and said, "Today, Lin'er is a hundred days, and it is my luck to come here in your busy schedule." And when he had finished speaking, he sat down on the throne of the Lord and said no more.

The group of people also stopped being formalized and began to push the cup and change the lamp.

In the middle of the tea, more people had already come to this hall, most of these people knew each other, and after saying hello, they all came to the old woman to worship, and after a while, the congratulatory gifts on the table had been piled up.

Gu Xingzheng was looking at a big man with a face like red dates saluting, when suddenly there was a call from outside the door, and he said, "The lord of the country has specially ordered to come to congratulate, send a thin gift, and talk about his heart, so as to comfort General Gu for his exploits on the border." As soon as the words fell, the hall suddenly fell silent.

At this time, the servants had already opened the door, and a group of people dressed in court clothes poured in first, and in came a young man with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a white face and beard, and his lips were dark purple. When everyone saw the young man, they couldn't help but gasp.

Gu Xing heard someone muttering in a low voice, "Why is the Seventh Prince here?" "Hasn't he always been at odds with the Gu family?" "It seems that the person who came is not good." Just when the guests were whispering, the old woman had already picked up Gu Xing and walked out of the main seat, supported by the maid's sister, and General Gu accompanied him to the young man, and said respectfully, "I don't know that the Seven Princes are driving the Seventh Prince, and I hope to forgive my sins." ”

"Mrs. Tai's words are serious, I came to congratulate on the order of the lord of the country, what is Mrs. Tai's crime? By the way, congratulations to General Gu! After the Seventh Prince finished speaking, he looked at the few people in front of him with a smile. Gu Xing had already sensed at this time that this person was not good, but he didn't expect that the situation would eventually develop like this, and this matter will be explained later.

Everyone was at a stalemate for a while, and the maid sister opened her mouth first and said, "The person who comes is a guest, please come inside." Suddenly, the embarrassing air was like a balloon leaking out of the wind, and it eased when there was an opening. Everyone began to talk to each other again, but everyone's face was full of anxiety, as if something big was going to happen.

When the Seventh Prince walked into the hall, he slowly took out a silk handkerchief from behind his waist and held it up, and everyone knelt on the ground when they saw this. At this time, the Seven Princes opened the silk handkerchief and said loudly, "The Lord of the Kingdom, Shengqi, Nian Gu General has been for many years to pass the border, and his contribution is indispensable, and the widow is beyond expression, coinciding with the 100th birthday of Ru'er, and specially ordered the seven princes to come to the door on behalf of the widow and send a congratulatory gift to comfort my heart." ”

After the seventh prince finished speaking, he stepped forward to help the old woman and handed the silk handkerchief over, and the old woman took the silk handkerchief tremblingly, wanting to kneel down again to thank her. The Seventh Prince hugged the old woman again and said, "The lady is old, so there is no need to be formal, so let's listen to the reward of the lord of the country." ”

The old woman slowly turned around and walked in the direction of the main seat with the support of the maid's sister, and when the old woman sat down, the Seventh Prince took another silk handkerchief from the hand of a person dressed as a swordsman beside him, and said loudly, "Give! A pair of dragon jade pillows, a pair of jade coral concentric locks, a pearl of the Nine Pole Night, a decorative astrolabe, a thousand-year-old ginseng of Qixia Mountain, a set of cold jade gold needles, ten thousand taels of gold, and a thousand horses of silk. After speaking, everyone was in an uproar, and the lord of the country actually gave such a heavy gift, which shows the importance of General Gu and the favor of the Gu family.

Gu Xing heard a few people who were a little closer whispering, "The first few things are just that, it is natural for the Gu family to use them, but the astrolabe and the cold jade golden needle are the things of Yu Chiyan and Lin Nuohua, I am afraid that there is a danger in this!" "Then we will act when we see the opportunity, and we still have to help." "Don't help and help lose your life, then it's a big loss."

Just as she was listening to them, the old woman stood up again, and said with trembling hands, "Thank you for the generous gift of the country, and the Gu family will live up to the country's grace." At this time, the maid sister had already bitten her lips, and some blood oozed slightly. Gu Xing knew that Aunt Lingding was angry.

And Gu Yanxun thanked the Seven Princes as if he was fine, asked the servants to accept the gifts, and invited the Seven Princes to sit at the guest of honor. The scene just now was seen by everyone present, and their eyes were different, and they all seemed to have ghosts in their hearts.

After such an "episode", everyone present stopped walking around, and each found a suitable place to sit down, waiting for the follow-up arrangements of the Gu family's housewife. The old woman stabilized her mind, coughed lightly twice and said, "I invite you to come today to add blessings to the Gu family's incense, since you are here, then you are a guest, but today's Lin'er 100-day banquet, if you don't entertain the place well, please bear with me." ”

After the old woman finished speaking, her eyes swept over everyone, and stopped on the Seventh Prince, who sat quietly like no one else, as if waiting for General Gu's next arrangement.

Gu Yanxun looked back at the old woman, and after the latter nodded, he turned around and said, "Since the guests have arrived, let's start today's banquet, everyone." After he finished speaking, with a wave of his hand, the servants of the Gu Mansion understood and began to serve the dishes one by one.

After the dishes were served, the old woman spoke, "My Lin'er has been in the family for a hundred days, but there is no correct name, thank you for your testimony today, and ask the bitter trace Taoist to count a hexagram for Lin'er and make up for the lack of name." ”

After the old woman finished speaking, an old Taoist priest who looked to be about fifty years old, holding a dust in his hand and a bitter face, stood up and bowed. The old woman nodded, and the Bitter Scar Daoist walked to the middle of the hall, took out a lizard and three crescent-shaped pieces of iron from the sleeve of his robe, and held them in his hand. said with words on his lips, "Lin'er has been completed in 100 days, and the old Tao will take this auspicious day to use his teacher to inherit physiognomy to find a good name for Lin'er." ”

It is said that the lizard in the hands of this old Taoist priest is a specialty of the lizard mountain, which is extremely spiritual, and the three crescent-shaped patches are the treasure of the old Taoist priest's Kutuo sect, the lizard moon Zhan. With these two treasures, you can tell fortunes and look at people's faces, and ordinary people have no happiness at all. Therefore, this time, the Gu family also made a bloody investment, so they invited the Bitter Scar Daoist to come out of the mountain to come out of the mountain to Bu Tianfu for Gu Xing.

I saw the old Taoist priest throw up the three crescent moon patches, then turned around and kicked back, chanting talismans on his mouth, and holding the lizard's hand and constantly pressing the lizard's head. The lizard was probably annoyed by the press and began to get restless. The old Taoist priest suddenly opened his eyes and threw away the iron piece of the lizard like a crescent, and the lizard took the iron piece in his mouth with a dodge. Seeing this, the old Taoist priest immediately spread out a yellow cloth densely covered with words, and after the lizard landed, he spit out three pieces of iron onto the yellow cloth, turned around and ran into the old Taoist's sleeve and disappeared.

After the iron piece stabilized on the yellow cloth, the old Taoist priest sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and recuperated, and obscure syllables kept popping out of his mouth.

At this time, Gu Xing secretly glanced at the Seventh Prince, and saw that he was also watching the scene in the field with great interest. Suddenly, the old Taoist priest's cheeks flushed and his eyes widened, as if he had seen something incredible. Then he looked down at the iron piece on the yellow cloth, and then slowly eased his breathing, and after his breathing was stable, he stood up and said to the old woman, "Tell Mrs. Tai, the old Tao has calculated Lin'er's destiny." And when he had said that, he said no more, and stood still.

The old woman asked anxiously, "Did Master Bitter Mark count anything, can you tell me?" The old Taoist priest calmed his mind again and said, "Lin'er lives to step on the nine stars, as we all know, there are nine abysses on the continent in the world, one abyss and one country, and they are conquered every year. Lin'er stepped on the nine abysses and explained...... "Before the old Taoist priest finished speaking, Gu Yanxun interrupted the old Taoist priest's words sharply, "Master Bitter Scar, you don't need to say much, just say what name you should take, right?" ”

At this time, the Bitter Scar Daoist had already collected the yellow cloth, stood in place and bowed slowly, and said, "The Shenzhou Continent is divided into nine abysses, and the Douzhuan Star will not dive. The destiny of heaven will eventually become a weapon, like a dream to awaken ten thousand immortals. With such a destiny, it will be a single name and a wake-up, and the word will be nine. ”

Hearing this, Gu Xing was about to jump up from his swaddling clothes, "I'm afraid that this old Taoist priest doesn't know that our city has been reincarnated, the name of the previous life and this life is not bad, I'm afraid it's not a simple sentence of destiny that can be clearly explained." Thinking of this, Gu Xing squirmed and giggled.

The old woman saw that Gu Xing was sensitized again, so she said to the old Taoist, "Let Master Bitter Scar be tired, sit down and rest quickly." After speaking, he turned his head and said to General Gu, "What do you think?" Gu Yanxun frowned, and said thoughtfully, "Gu Xing's homonym Lone Star, I didn't like it, but how big Jiuyuan is, my son's destiny is what I want, so I agreed." ”

After listening to Gu Yanxun's words, the old woman stood up and said to everyone, "From today on, Lin'er will call Gu Xing, the word Jiuyuan." When they heard this, they all got up and said to the old woman, "Congratulations! Gu Xing secretly glanced at the Seventh Prince, but he didn't expect the Seventh Prince to be looking at him with a grim smile on his face.
