Chapter 3 The Family Banquet in the Valley Mansion

Aunt Duan is only twenty-five this year, and the one she gave birth to is a gorgeous and compelling, with small and beautiful facial features, otherwise Prime Minister Gu would not have borrowed wine to go crazy and asked for her body.

Aunt Duan's life is gorgeous, but she traps herself in the cage step by step, she likes to wear some heavy and dark clothes, looking old-fashioned and dull, and she is blind to that bright beauty.

Of course, the latter sentence was overheard by Gu Banqin from other aunts.

Aunt Duan stared at her daughter who was chewing petals in her mouth, frowning, she didn't like Gu Banqin's habit of picking flowers and eating in the yard casually, and every time she saw it, she had to count a few words, saying that she didn't look like the daughter of the prime minister's family.

Gu Banqin secretly rolled her eyes, she was a concubine who was not taken seriously, and she was still a daughter, and the government gave her less than ten taels of silver for a year.

Seeing Aunt Duan coming, Gu Banqin hurriedly snorted a few times and spit out the petals in her mouth, such a rude gesture made Zhao's mother who came out with Aunt Duan look unkind.

The rules of a large family, every young lady has a parenting mother who is responsible for upbringing the rules of the family before she becomes an adult, these upbringing mothers are different from ordinary slaves, and their status is quite high, and the underage young masters and ladies in the house are generally afraid of her.

This Zhao's mother is Gu Banqin's nurturing mother.

Mother Zhao frowned for a while, and before Aunt Duan could speak, Mother Zhao stepped forward and said, "Sixth Lady's move is vulgar, no." ”

When Gu Banqin first wore it, she made several mistakes, fell into the hands of Zhao's mother several times, and was beaten several times, so there was a shadow on her board, and when she saw this action, her palm was itchy with conditioned reflex.

Although Mother Zhao was serving in Cuiwei Courtyard, she was a nurturing mother sent by the eldest lady, and she couldn't afford to offend easily, and even Aunt Duan didn't dare to talk to her loudly, let alone Gu Banqin.

So Gu Banqin lowered her eyes, made a statement of remorse, and replied in a low voice: "I know." ”

After Gu Banqin admitted her mistake, she kicked her steps, obediently stood beside Aunt Duan, stretched out her hand and secretly pulled Aunt Duan's wide sleeves, Aunt Duan smiled at Mother Zhao, and then pulled Gu Banqin in front of her, pulled out the handkerchief, wiped it on her face, and glared at her again.

Gu Banqin didn't feel afraid, but leaned her whole person on Aunt Duan very affectionately, and then like an ordinary child who can't see the world, she secretly looked at Mother Zhao with a not very good face from behind Aunt Duan.

"The lord returned home today and said that he would have a family banquet in the compound. You can't make a fuss. ”

At the end, Aunt Duan added uneasily: "Look at how the five ladies eat." You can eat what you want, don't eat nonsense, and people will see that there are no rules. ”

The meaning of 'family banquet' in Aunt Duan's words is the meaning of the masters of the Gu Mansion getting together to eat.

Gu Fengmao always comes to this time every time he has a monthly break, and gathers the eldest wife, the little wife, and the children together to eat, talk, and connect with each other.

This is the same as the bosses in the company in the previous life liked to have a meeting when they had nothing to do, to look back on the achievements of the past and look forward to the future......

To be honest, Gu Banqin quite likes this kind of family banquet, just because of three words: eat well!

Aunt Duan's advice Gu Banqin didn't pay much attention to it, because it was completely unnecessary, people should have self-knowledge, Gu Banqin had an accurate positioning of herself, her status in the Gu family was that she was a little girl who was not taken seriously, she was not short of food and clothing, and no one expected much from her.

She is happy to be an emotionless foodie.

And Gu Xiuxian, the fifth lady in Aunt Duan's mouth, is different, she is the second delicate girl in the Gu family besides Gu Nianshu.

Her etiquette was all learned from Gu Nianshu, and the upbringing mothers in the house didn't dare to comment on how Gu Nianshu was, so they turned their heads and praised the five ladies for their good manners and demeanor, so Aunt Duan asked Gu Banqin to learn from the five ladies.

As for what the main owner Gu Nianshu thinks, Gu Banqin feels that with the temperament of the fourth sister's cold beauty, she probably doesn't even have time to pay attention.

However, Gu Banqin knew that Aunt Duan was just talking, because when she spoke, her eyes drifted behind her, and that expression was to tell her that Aunt Duan was saying this to Mother Zhao.

Sure enough, Mother Zhao was very satisfied with Aunt Duan's 'teachable' performance, so she no longer pursued Gu Banqin's previous gaffe.

After Aunt Duan said this, she took Gu Banqin back to the back room, pulled her to sit in front of the bronze mirror, broke up Gu Banqin's bun, and combed her hair again.

Gu Banqin sat in front of Aunt Duan's dresser, letting her aunt's hand rub the top of her head, enjoying the happiness of being wrapped in maternal love.

Compared with the pair of wonderful parents in her previous life, Gu Banqin prefers the current Duan family, even if she is an aunt with a low status.

After thinking about it, Gu Banqin asked rarely, "Do I want to change my clothes?" ”

After finishing speaking, Aunt Duan glanced at her from top to bottom, and then shook her head decisively: "That's not necessary, my daughter is very good-looking." ”

Probably in the eyes of all loving mothers, their daughters are the best-looking people.

Aunt Duan is low-key, and it is precisely because of this that she has been able to spend so many years without difficulties and disasters under the nose of the eldest lady.

Aunt Duan deliberately ignored the fact that the clothes on Gu Banqin's body were the old clothes of the fourth lady, which can be regarded as a means for Aunt Duan to survive in the back house, and letting the eldest lady watch Gu Banqin wear Gu Nianshu's old clothes without any guilt, it is also a show of weakness and flattery for the housewife.

Gu Banqin and Aunt Duan didn't dare to delay for too long, freshened up a little, and came to the courtyard of the housewife hand in hand.

Gu Fengmao has a total of one wife and six concubines, the main wife Wang, everyone is beautiful, born in a prestigious family in Fuyang, and gave birth to the eldest son Gu Ziqian, the fourth lady Gu Nianshu and the seventh son Gu Siyuan.

The other six concubines all have their own merits, which can be called a hundred flowers blooming and competing for beauty.

Aunt Liu in the second room is smart, Aunt Song in the third room is delicate, these two people are the right-hand men of the eldest lady, among the eight concubines, the two of them are the leaders, and they have a son and a daughter, Aunt Liu gave birth to the second son Gu Bohou and the fifth lady Gu Xiuxian, and Aunt Song gave birth to the third son Gu Yubei and the eighth son Gu Yongning.

The rest of Aunt Mei, Aunt Zhou is considered to be mean, although she has nothing to do, but she can dress up, and she is quite favored by Gu Fengmao, and she always goes to their room several times a month.

The rest is her mother, Aunt Duan, and another Aunt Zhang, Aunt Duan used to be a dancing girl, and Aunt Zhang used to be a foot-washing maid, the two are inseparable in status and status, and they are all bad fates formed by Gu Fengmao's impulse.

Both of them are wild people who are raised to be aunts, and the reason for the top position is the same, that is, there is!
