Old Madam Gu replied, "You have a heart, please come up quickly," the smile was faint, and the tone was also faint, it shouldn't be that she particularly liked this person, but she was still happy for her heart.

I saw her wink at the close girl beside her, who received the instructions and said, "Yes, ma'am." ”

So the group of people who were waiting to sing the song also slowly appeared.

This lady is the wife of Gu Yanzhi, the big house of the Gu family, Lin Nianzhen, is the stepwife.

Gu Yanzhi's original partner was Mrs. Gu personally for him, but unfortunately he died early, not long after passing the door, he passed away, a year later, his aunt and wife, Lin Nianzhen, became pregnant and gave birth to a baby boy, that is, the current eldest son of the Gu family, Gu Siyuan, the mother is expensive with her son, and it didn't take long for Lin Nianzhen to be corrected and became the serious lady of the big house.

It's just that everyone knows that she has a bad background, and before she became her aunt's wife, she was just a drama singer in the garden, because she sang very well, she was directly recruited by Gu Yan into the mansion as a side room, and she was very careful, plus because of her previous wife, so Mrs. Gu didn't like her very much, and the ladies in the other rooms of the Gu family didn't look down on her very much.

It's just that people don't care about this, they coax Gu Yanzhi happily and obediently, and they also manage all the affairs of the big house properly and in an orderly manner.

The sound of the opera came slowly, the sound was in the ears, babbling, but Ah Qi was also sleepy, and he didn't know what he was singing. Ah Qi looked at the group of ladies and ladies who were watching the play and listening to the music, attentive appearance, and whispered a few times from time to time, she really felt that she was really not suitable to stay here, she didn't feel that this play was wonderful at all, but the more boring she felt, maybe she really couldn't appreciate it, or maybe although it was spring, the sun was still big, she just wanted to find a place to rest for a while, take a good rest, and didn't want to watch the play anymore and didn't want to listen to the play.

However, Ah Qi still stood there, standing there as always, looking at them.

"Okay,"

I vaguely heard someone in the crowd shouting "Okay", thinking that it should be the end of the play, and then I remembered the applause and praise one after another.

Even Old Madam Gu, who had always been serious, softened her eyes at Lin Nianzhen a lot after watching this play, and said, "You have a heart," Old Madam Gu instructed a girl beside her, "Take them to receive the reward,"

"Mrs. Xie, Mrs. Xie," and they all left.

When one play falls, another play always has to be picked up, otherwise it will be broken, and how can a person's life be broken?

No, someone jumped out immediately and said, "My sister really has a heart, and she actually thought of inviting a group of theater to celebrate the old lady's birthday, but we couldn't think of it.

"Sister said that I was laughing, I just wanted to please the old lady," Lin Nianzhen just smiled and said, not making trouble or being angry, so that she was more generous, and continued, "Where can I compare with my sisters, let my sisters laugh, and don't dislike my sister's vulgar and simple good," and didn't forget to giggle a few times to show friendship.

That person is also a master who does not admit defeat, seeing that this stubble is not successful, so he changed it, and looked like he had just remembered something important, and said, "I just heard my master mention it a few days ago, saying that Siyuan is a good boy, smart and alert, and His Majesty also likes him very much, and intends to promote him,"

This lady is also surnamed Lin, but she is a young lady from a family, and her master is the current Lord Shangshu, surnamed Li, who has a son and a daughter, all of whom have grown up, and they all came together to participate in today's birthday banquet in Gufu.

Mrs. Shangshu said to Lin Nianzhen, "I don't know if there is a favorite person?" There was a look of pride in his eyes.

Lin Nianzhen really immediately lowered her eyes with her head held high, a little unnatural, but it was only a momentary thing, and replied calmly, "Not yet," This is actually a thorn in Lin Nianzhen's heart, although she is now the eldest lady of the Gu family, but she is not the original lady in the end, and she has no help from her mother's family, she always seems to be soft-spoken, and she is looked down upon everywhere, and her son will inevitably be implicated because of herself. It is inevitable that it will be compared everywhere, the Gu family is noble, and the sons and daughters are all outstanding, so that the ultimate thing to see is the mother's origin and their own talents.

Although Gu Siyuan is the eldest son of the Gu Mansion, he is far less noble than the sons of the other houses, and even the seventh son of the Gu family, Gu Nantian, is not at all inferior to him.

Lin Nianzhen continued, "What, which lady did my sister fall in love with, waiting to introduce us to Siyuan?" "I thought she might be really kind.

"Which family's young lady is not the most important, as long as she is born clean, after all, as a daughter-in-law, don't be a dirty thing that comes out of an unclean place," It's just that the people here, where will there be really good hearts waiting for people, the lady Shangshu seemed to jokingly said to the people around her, "I remember, the eldest lady sang a play, and was looked down upon by Gu Dashao, and accepted as the aunt's wife in the room. It's a lot of thought for the eldest lady to be able to take charge on her own," as if she had mentioned something terrible, she made a fuss and made a big fuss, and continued, "I'm afraid it won't be because I was born in a drama that I thought about this to please the old lady?" The tone was full of sarcasm.

Lin Nianzhen's hands clenching the handkerchief gradually clenched into fists, all hideous, and just as she wanted to open her mouth to refute something, she was stopped by Old Madam Gu's words.

I saw Mrs. Gu say, "Okay, today is my birthday, don't talk about something that I don't have, and make me unhappy," although the words were said to Mrs. Shangshu who was stirring up trouble, her eyes were looking at Lin Nianzhen.

"Yes, it's mine, it's not me, the old lady's happiness is the most important thing," the lady Shangshu hurriedly said with a smile, and when she lowered her head, her eyes were full of sarcasm and ridicule when she looked at Lin Nianzhen, as well as the pride after the conspiracy succeeded.

Old Madam Gu glanced at Lin Nianzhen and said, "You too, you've been busy for so long, you should be tired, go down and rest, don't wait in front of you," After speaking, she immediately turned her face away and looked at the scenery in another place, she didn't want to look at her anymore, she was ashamed, right?

"Yes, old lady, my daughter-in-law has retired."

Lin Nianzhen was full of unconvinced, but she could only give up, and left the scene in a huff, and when she left, she didn't forget to hit the lady Shangshu hard.

It's all her fault, she originally had a good time pleasing the old lady, and she thought that she could slowly change the relationship for the better and let her status in the Gu family rise a little, after all, everyone knows that these nephews of the Gu family are the most filial, and His Majesty also respects the cousin of the former emperor very much and treats each other politely.

It is a fact that if you win the favor of the old lady, you will win the favor of everyone.

Xiao Jingyi obviously felt the awkward atmosphere here, so she pulled Gu Nantian over with her. As soon as he came over, he put his arm around Mrs. Gu's neck, sat beside her, and said, "Grandma, who is this who upsets grandma?"

Gu Nantian followed and saluted, "Grandson Nantian has seen grandma,"

Old Madam Gu saw Gu Nantian and Xiao Jingyi smiling slightly, her face was kind, and she said, "It's Tan'er and Jingyi,"

Everyone knows that Gu Nantian is Mrs. Gu's favorite distressed grandson, and it is also the most reassuring one, in the three years that she went to Guanwai, Mrs. Gu can be said to be always strange, always sending people to send things and letters to the past, and he is also Xiao Jingyi's favorite man, and now he is the most concerned young talent in Nandu, with a bright future, and he is the person who is most likely to become the future head of the Gu family, plus he is handsome and very chic, I don't know how many women in Nandu have been intoxicated.

"Grandma, don't be angry, Brother Nanting and I will be worried and sad," Xiao Jingyi said coquettishly, coaxing Mrs. Gu again and again.

Old Madam Gu touched Xiao Jingyi's face, smiled, and said, "Grandma knows that you are the most filial, and as soon as grandma sees us Jingyi, she won't have any worries,"

Mrs. Shangshu just now also took the opportunity to talk to Gu Nantian who was standing on the side, "This is the first time I have seen the seventh prince after returning to Nandu, and my family Ru'er also mentioned it before, saying that I haven't seen Nantian's brother for a long time, and I am worried that I am afraid that the seventh prince will forget her, and I am coming today, and I don't know where I am messing around now, I am not serious at all, "She has a son and a daughter with Shangshu, her son is called Li Qifeng, and her daughter is called Li Xueru, both of whom have played with Gu Nantian since childhood.

"Xueru loves to make trouble, childlike nature, Mrs. doesn't have to care," Gu Nantian is face is respectful, when Li Xueru was mentioned, Gu Nantian still had a lot of memories, the girl in her memory was very fun-loving, very noisy, just like a boy, always following behind her brother and herself, and Xiao Jingyi was different, she was a very brave and casual girl, and she would not be so delicate.

As soon as Mrs. Shangshu heard this, she looked at Gu Nantian's eyes and couldn't help but have a little more appreciation and affection, and then looked at Xiao Jingyi, who was sitting next to Mrs. Gu with an arrogant face, and thought to herself, she was just an adopted daughter who had died and was fostered by the queen, who had no power and no power, and survived with His Majesty's love, my Xueru is not worse than you.

Then another young lady spoke, "The seventh prince looks a lot haggard and has lost a lot of weight, life outside the gate should be very difficult," her face was full of distress, Gu Nantian didn't know which lady she was, but she was still polite, and said slowly, "Let Mrs. worry, Nan leaning is a man, he should have a lot of experience, it's nothing,"

Then another lady also jokingly said, "The seventh prince is young and promising, he is chic, the princess should be careful, she was robbed, and the daughter of Nandu is worried about this young hero,"

"Who dare!" Xiao Jingyi was like a fur when she heard this, she quickly jumped up, walked to Gu Nantian's side, as if declaring her sovereignty, and held Gu Nantian's arm, but if you look closely, you will find that Gu Nantian subconsciously frowned at that moment, it is obvious that he doesn't particularly like this kind of behavior, and he doesn't particularly like this princess, at least what he means to this princess is not what everyone thinks.

Mrs. Shangshu naturally discovered the abnormality, and she couldn't help but feel a little more sure in her heart.

I heard that a lady took the opportunity to laugh and teas, "Yo, the princess refused to admit it just now, blaming us for making fun of her, and now the fox's tail is suddenly exposed, but what's good?" ”

Everyone laughed when they heard this, and looked at Xiao Jingyi.

Xiao Jingyi's face was flushed, but she still didn't let go of Gu Nan's arm, and just said coquettishly to Old Madam Gu, "Grandma, when will you be able to eat, Jingyi feels hungry," and quickly began to change the topic.

"The princess is accompanied by the seventh son, will she still feel hungry?" Naturally, they won't give up.

Xiao Jingyi was annoyed and angry, and said, "You are making fun of me again," and then cried to Old Madam Gu, "Grandma, you see, they all bullied me," with a look of grievance, very distressing.

"Okay, okay, we can't starve Jingyi," Old Madam Gu played a round, and then commanded Aunt Sun beside her, "Aunt Sun, let them prepare and start the meal," Aunt Sun helped Old Madam Gu up, "Grandma, I'll help you go," Xiao Jingyi also took Old Madam Gu's hand and took her in the direction of the front hall, Gu Nantian naturally followed.

Xiao Jingyi is always very good at coaxing the old lady to be happy.

Aunt Sun stepped aside and said to the rest of the ladies, "Okay, ladies, please move to the front hall."

Then he instructed the other maids and told the other ladies to go to the front hall for dinner.

As soon as Ah Qi took a nap, she heard the sound of a crowd moving, bustling, chattering in the direction where she was standing, should she be planning to leave?

Ah Qi didn't know very well, maybe it was time to start eating, but he just subconsciously woke up, stood to the side, a more corner, and leaned all the way to make a spacious way for them.

Ah Qi thought, it was okay to eat, and after standing for a long time, his legs were really sore, and it was best to end early, after all, he was slapped in vain today, but it was really a wronged and aggrieved thing.

Who would have thought that before Ah Qi came out of the atmosphere he was immersed in, a big incident happened, and it was still a little bloody, still in front of her, her eyes, naked, and bright.

A thick-clothed man with a masked face and a dagger in his hand flew towards the group of people from somewhere, and behind him there was a group of black-clothed men who were also masked somewhere, all holding weapons in their hands, rushing towards a group of men with their claws open, should be disrupting the line of sight, delaying time, and covering for the rough-clothed man who was the leader, because the man was heading towards the group of women and children, and he looked like he was still coming towards the two people who were surrounded in the middle. It's just that I don't know if it's for the old lady of the Gu family or Princess Jingyi who is clinging to her next to her.

Because most of them are a group of noble women and children who are powerless, some of whom may have never seen such a blatant assassination in their lives, so they are all frightened, scattered, scurrying, and from time to time with high screams, so the scene is even more chaotic, and they are beginning to be a little confused who is who, after all, these ladies are wearing one-to-one regular clothes, gorgeous clothes, flowers, chaos, and blindness, but the target of the assassin is very distinct.

Soon the old lady and Xiao Jingyi were single, and I don't know what went wrong, the old lady and Xiao Jingyi were close to each other, holding each other's arms, and not long after, Xiao Jingyi didn't know who hit her and fell to the ground, fortunately, although the old lady is an old woman, she is still tough, and she is also a person who has seen a big scene, but she is very sober, but at this time sobriety is undoubtedly the best goal.

Seeing that the assassins were about to go towards the old lady, this really irritated Ah Qi, it turned out that the target of these assassins was an old lady who was over seventy years old, it was really strange, what was this for?

yes, what's the picture? The old lady has lived for such a long time, she didn't assassinate sooner or later, and now she is over seventy, and the result is like this, isn't it okay to find trouble? Can't you let people die naturally?

Everyone may not have thought that most of the people who came to help when they heard the noise in the front yard ran to protect the lone princess, after all, it was royal blood, and it was in the Gu family's mansion, so there could be no mistake, otherwise it would be a sin. Who would have thought that the target of these assassins would be their own old lady.

And all this was seen clearly and clearly by Ah Qi, an outsider hiding aside.

Even the old lady herself didn't expect it, and kept muttering, "Protect Jingyi," "It's important to protect Jingyi first", for fear of frightening this little princess who has never seen anything in the world.

Just a second when the dagger was about to stab in front of the old lady, Ah Qi pounced, and the dagger slashed Ah Qi's arm, fortunately, the injury was not serious, because in the second after Ah Qi pounced, the legendary Gu family Seven Sons noticed the abnormality, and the assassin, and the reason why Ah Qi injured his arm was an accident was because when the assassin fell to the ground, the dagger fell from his hand, and Ah Qi rushed up, back and forth, rubbing Ah Qi's arm, which scratched Ah Qi.

It's a joke.

Fortunately, no one found out, and it was nothing, otherwise it would really be a loss of death.
