Chapter Seventy-One

On the day of the feast of Gufu.

Ningxia Qing went to Mrs. Ning's house early in the morning, wanting to see if the old lady was ready.

As soon as she entered the old lady's house, Ning Xia Qing found that Zi'er had not cleaned up, and then she realized that the old lady did not plan to take Zi'er with her. And the old lady also saw Du Qiutong who was following Ning Xia Qing at this time, and couldn't help but be stunned.

Ning Xia Qing understood what the old lady was thinking. At present, the Gu Mansion and the Ning family are discussing marriage, and when they go to the Gu Mansion today, it is estimated that they will not be able to avoid this matter, since they are going to talk about business, the fewer people who go, the better, and they didn't even bring Zi'er, but they didn't expect Ningxia Qing to take Du Qiutong there.

Ning Xia Qing naturally didn't plan to explain to the old lady the reason why she took Du Qiutong there, anyway, Du Qiutong followed her, and the old lady definitely didn't want to open her mouth to drive Du Qiutong back. Sure enough, the old lady didn't say much, and took Ning Ningqing and Du Qiutong to Gu Mansion together.

As soon as I arrived at the gate of Gu's mansion, I saw that the carriages were crowded into groups, and I couldn't see the end at a glance.

After entering the mansion, there were already many maids dressed in makeup and beautiful clothes, and several maids dressed in red and green were vying to lead the way for Mrs. Ning.

I don't know that these are the few maids in the Gu Mansion, just looking at their food and clothing are already extraordinary, in front of these maids, even Ning Ning Qing and Du Qiutong are lined with shabby, it can be seen that the luxury of the Gu Mansion is really shocking.

The maid led them through the weeping flower gate, only to see that the carved beams and paintings in this garden were splendid, the beautiful wood and strange caryophyllum forest were covered, the trees were hung with all kinds of silk flowers, and there were colored lanterns made of snails in the pool, and its grand occasion was like flowers in brocade, and the fire was cooking oil.

The maid led them to the verandah, and came to a flower hall, which was not as magnificent as the one side of the square, and the things should be small and chic, and at first glance it was a place specially used to entertain women.

The maid smiled and said: "There are many guests today, so I have to divide several flower halls, and invite Grandma Ning, Miss Ning, and Miss Du to sit here for a while." The third grandmother is now feasting elsewhere and will come over in a while. After the banquet, Gu Fu will invite you to visit the treasures in the house, and hope that Grandma Ning, Miss Ning, and Miss Du will definitely participate. ”

Old Lady Ning nodded, and the maid left immediately. Ningxia Qing knows that today's banquet is just a small scene, and the real excitement lies in appreciating the treasures.

Speaking of which, Gu San's grandmother's family is illustrious, and her nature is flamboyant, and every year when she holds a birthday banquet, she has to take everyone to appreciate all the treasures in the house, but in fact, it is just to show off.

All the guests know that whoever flatters Grandma Gu San is the happiest will be able to get Grandma Gusan's blue eyes and get the support of Master Gu San, so everyone is ready to seize this shortcut by flattering Grandma Gu San with the spirit of twelve.

After Mrs. Ning sat down, she took a look and saw that there were nobles dressed in splendid clothes and brilliance everywhere.

This scene is no less than Mrs. Gu's birthday banquet that day, after all, it is the common birthday of Mr. Gu San and his wife, and Mr. Gu San has eaten well in the officialdom in recent years, and many officialdom dignitaries have come to the banquet, and dignitaries and dignitaries have gathered here, in such a group of people, the Ning family seems a little out of place.

The matter of the Gu Mansion proposing to the Ning family has been done in a low-key manner, and almost no one knows that the Ning family is the future in-laws of the Gu Family, so the appearance of the Ning family here will inevitably arouse the doubts of outsiders, and they don't understand why such a small family would be invited by the Gu Mansion, but today, no one is half confused.

There is no other reason, just because there are too many guests invited by the Gu Mansion today, and the guests are busy greeting each other, and they are dizzy everywhere, and no one notices that the Ning family is also among the guests.

For people from small families, they may have never seen such a grand banquet in their lives. Ning Xia Qing obviously felt that Du Qiutong beside him was so nervous that he didn't know how to put his hands and feet, Du Qiutong's two hands kept fiddling with his hair, and he almost scratched his ears and cheeks.

Ning Xia Qing took a sip of tea, always looking at his nose and nose, pretending not to notice that Du Qiutong had actually been peeking at him, and also pretended not to notice the strong jealousy in Du Qiutong's eyes.

Du Qiutong peeked at Ningxia Qing for a long time, and finally couldn't help but come up and say, "Cousin, this Gu Mansion is too generous...... I've never seen anything like it...... You're a good ......."

Ning Xia Qing said lightly: "Of course Gu Fu is arrogant. The Gu family is a big family with a surname that has been inherited for hundreds of years, with a knighthood and a noble family, which has been passed down from generation to generation. ”

Ning Ningqing said as he observed Du Qiutong's reaction, only to see that the jealousy in Du Qiutong's eyes became more and more obvious.

Ning Xia Qing continued to stimulate Du Qiutong: "The place we came to today is not a prosperous branch of the Gu family at all, the most prosperous vein of the Gu family is above the court in the capital, the children of the Gu family have become their own henchmen, and their prestige in the court is very high, and many decisions of the court are controlled by the children of the Gu family." As for the fertile land and woodland under the name of the Gu family, the shipping of ships is far beyond your imagination. ”

Ning Xia Qing noticed that the jealousy in Du Qiutong's eyes was already strong to the point of hatred.

Ning Xia Qing sneered in her heart, picked up the teacup, took a sip casually, didn't bother to pay attention to Du Qiutong, and kept silently observing the surrounding situation.

In the crowd of black pressure, there was a girl who was only thirteen or fourteen years old, Ning Xia Qing felt familiar after a glance, and after thinking for a while, she remembered that this person was Xiang Qingshu, the wife of Gu Huaiteng in her previous life.

Speaking of which, Xiang Qingshu's sisters have been disagreeing with each other, and Xiang Qingshu's marriage has been delayed, and it was not until three years later that the Xiang family could take care of her, and the Gu family at that time was also anxious about Gu Huaiteng's marriage.

Ning Xia Qing didn't expect that he would actually see Xiang Qingshu today.

However, she had long expected to meet Tan Wenshi and Xue Qianqian, since Tan Wenshi had joined the Gu family through Deputy Lieutenant Xue, he would naturally not miss this feast, and the people of Deputy Lieutenant Xue's family would naturally be present.

Sure enough, when he was on the way to the flower hall just now, he saw Xue Qianqian blocked in front of Tan Wenshi in a dignified manner, and he didn't know what to say to Tan Wenshi, and Du Qiutong naturally saw that scene, although he still had his face down, his eyes were instantly like knives, and he slashed at Xue Qianqian's body with jealousy and resentment.

Ning Xia Qing secretly laughed to himself while thinking about the scene just now, this Xue Qianqian really still has this temper, and her arrogance has not changed at all. Xue Qianqian and Du Qiutong bumped into each other again, it seems that it should be very lively today. Ningxia Qing'an quietly took a sip of tea and waited to watch the play.

At this moment, a coquettish smile came, and before they saw him, they heard his voice first, and everyone knew that Grandma Gu San was here. Sure enough, wearing a purple gold jade hairpin with inlaid treasures, wearing a two-color gold hundred butterflies and wearing a big red gown, tied with colorful silk and flower knots, and covered with a stone blue flower eight groups of satin tassel gowns, Gu San's grandmother, who was wearing gold silk and blue satin embroidered shoes, walked in proudly.

It's just that Gu San's grandmother's side is followed by Xue Qianqian, who is also showing off her might! Speaking of which, Grandma Gu San and Deputy Lieutenant Xue are distant relatives, but they are not very close, and because of some contradictions within the family, they are a little estranged from each other, and it is precisely because of this that in his previous life, Tan Wenshi was through Ningxia Qingba to the Gu Mansion, not through Xue Qianqian.

Seeing Xue Qianqian, who was arrogant and arrogant again, Du Qiutong's whole person seemed to exude endless hatred.

As soon as Grandma Gu San arrived, she said a few words, and then, everyone in the flower hall began to take turns to stutter, Mrs. Ning naturally did not participate in such a lively, and took Ning Xia Qing and Du Qiutong to sit honestly on the seat, but unexpectedly, Grandma Gu San actually walked towards them!

As soon as Grandma Gu San saw Mrs. Ning, she instantly became affectionate, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that Mrs. Ning and Miss Ning would come over, this is really an honor for me and my husband!" Mrs. Ning, my old lady is thinking about you, she must be happy to know that you are coming! Someone has come to the palace, and my old lady is receiving her, so I should invite you to come and talk to her in a while. ”

The protagonist of this ostentatious banquet suddenly flattered herself, and Mrs. Ning was quite uncomfortable, so she had to reply simply and politely.

Grandma Gu San's face suddenly changed, and she scolded the maid next to her: "Old Lady Ning is a distinguished guest, how can you not invite Old Lady Ning to sit in the main hall?" After a while, the old lady wanted to talk to Mrs. Ning, and asked where Mrs. Ning was, but she couldn't find Mrs. Ning, which of you could afford to take this responsibility? ”

Old Mrs. Ning was stunned, and before she could say anything, she was dragged to the main hall by Grandma Gu San with a few more words.

As soon as Mrs. Ning's seat was empty, Grandma Gu San immediately pushed Xue Qianqian forward and said to Xue Qianqian: "You girl has a strange temper and doesn't want to stay in the main hall, then you can sit down here." Miss Ning and Miss Du are both about the same age as you, and you can talk a lot when you sit with them. ”

So, Xue Qianqian sat in the seat before Mrs. Ning like this, sitting between Ning Ning Qing and Du Qiutong.

Ning Xia Qing took a sip of tea lightly, and smiled secretly in her heart, Xue Qianqian, Du Qiutong, Xiang Qingshu, the corners that should have arrived have basically arrived, and this scene is really getting more and more interesting.
