Chapter 142: A Flowing Feast

The winter snow melted, and there was a peaceful scene in Bianliang City, and the people on the long street were crowded, complaining about a good year.

Qinyang Hou Mansion is located in the north of the city, not far from the imperial city, although the surrounding boundaries are not very lively, but it is definitely a good place for things to be treasured.

Zhong Mingding's food home, which has been prosperous for many years, is not bad after all.

Gu Jin and Gu Haomian took a carriage together and leisurely arrived in front of the Qinyang Marquis' Mansion, and there was a more luxurious one behind the Gu family's carriage, carrying Gu Xiang.

When I went out this morning, Miss Yan said that she didn't want to ride in the same carriage with Gu Jin, Gu Jin and Gu Haomian looked at each other and didn't say anything after hearing that, so they got into Fan Yong's carriage together.

Gu Xiang was so angry that his mouth was crooked.

She couldn't imagine that her own brother would occupy the same line with Gu Jin, but even so, she would not ride in the same car with Gu Jin!

She's Miss Gu Mansion!

……

In the past and present lives, this is the first time Gu Jin has seen the pomp of the Marquis of Qinyang.

Two stone lions show off their might at the door, and the luxurious vermilion lacquer gate welcomes the guests, which cannot hide the prosperity in the hospital.

This is called a doorman.

Gu Jin got out of the carriage and waited at the door with Gu Haomian for a while, and then the little servant of the Marquis of Qinyang Mansion came up to receive the invitation and gifts to register and make a book, Gu Fu sent two boxes of ginseng, Gu Jin was too lazy to think about these things, they were all chosen by Gu Haomian.

When the carriage was stopped, a young man came out to greet him.

Gu Jin had never seen this person before, but before he came, he heard Gu Haomian say something, although the Zuo family has many children, but at this age, it should be the second son of Qin Yanghou, called Zuo Heng.

Zuo Heng is a graceful and handsome son, with a pair of Danfeng eyes behind the charm, he smiles when he sees people, he naturally recognizes Gu Haomian, and when he sees someone, he salutes Gu Jin and the three of them.

Gu Jin couldn't help but sigh slightly in his heart: he is also a character who laughs when he meets people, Shang Guyuan looks much more pleasing to the eye.

The three Gu Jin brothers and sisters followed Zuo Heng into the gate of the Qin Prince's Mansion, only to see that the furnishings inside were far more exquisite than those seen outside the door.

The clusters of red plum blossoms under the rockery are blooming just right, and the snow on the plum blossoms is beginning to disappear, and the bright red color that comes out makes people feel moved.

When they arrived at the corner gate, a little maid came over to lead the female dependents to the backyard, and Gu Jin and Gu Xiang said goodbye to Gu Haomian.

Today's men were feasting in the front yard, and in the distance, the voice of the man in front of him could already be heard.

Gu Jin walked silently, looking at this prosperous scene all the way, and remembered the young lady of the Zuo family, Zuo Rui, who had met a few times at the autumn hunting party.

No wonder the girl was rampant by nature, she was born and raised in such a good mansion.

Gu Xiang looked at her stunned, and thought that Gu Jin had never entered this Hou Mansion before, and now he came rashly and was amazed by the decoration here.

Thinking of this, Gu Xiang smiled proudly: "I think I haven't seen the banquet pomp of such a big family, I'm afraid that I will embarrass my father if I make a fool of myself, right?" I knew why I wanted to come in the first place, didn't I find a stumbling block for myself. ”

Gu Jin didn't say anything, but thought about her words sideways.

Does she look like she wants to come to the feast?

The sarcasm of Gu Xiang's words did not avoid people, but the little maid who came to guide the way from the Qin Prince's Mansion was still listening with her ears pricked up in front, and when she went out to squeeze her sisters, she would lose face for her own family in the end.

Gu Xiang didn't know that although Gu Jin had never entered the Hou Mansion, she had enjoyed eight years of loneliness in the most prosperous palace in the world, how could she be frightened by the decoration of a Hou Mansion.

Gu Jin smiled faintly: "My sister has seen a lot of pomp and circumstance with her mother, so she naturally knows the truth of being cautious in her words and deeds." ”

Gu Xiang was stunned, what do you mean? Think she's talking too much?

She still wanted to go back, but she saw the maid leading the way in front of her suddenly paused, and her voice floated softly: "Two young ladies, it's here." ”

The backyard of the Marquis of Qinyang is open, there is a small back lake, it has frozen in winter, and the place where the banquet is held today is not in the court, but a banquet is set up around the lake, and there is some artistic conception to sit near the water.

It's just that the weather is a little cold, and Mrs. Qinyang Hou is afraid that these Bianliang nobles will catch the wind chill in her own house, so she deliberately put a warm tent around her head under the eaves of the porch, and also lit silver charcoal on the edge of each table.

Extravagant in the extreme.

Gu Jin and Gu Xiang didn't count, half of the female dependents had already arrived when they entered the table, Gu Jin looked around, and didn't see Wei Yuchuan and Qiu Rongyan, even the place left by Jiang Rou, the county lord of Ningguo, was empty, presumably not yet.

Gu Xiang pursed his lips and sat beside Gu Jin very reluctantly, even though the two of them came quietly, they were still seen by Mrs. Qin Yanghou, who was sitting at the top.

"It turned out that the two young ladies of the Gu family had arrived, eh? Why didn't you see Mrs. Gu? ”

Gu Jin got up and saluted, and replied before Gu Xiang could speak: "My mother has been in poor health for the past two days, so we who are juniors will talk about it. ”

Mrs. Qin Yanghou's eyes narrowed, and she remembered that the person who answered this should be the second lady of the Gu family, Gu Jin, and there have been many rumors in Bianliang City in recent days that are related to her.

I saw everyone talking and laughing, but there was only such a girl sitting there who seemed out of place in the world, and she was covered in frost, which was unforgettable.

She remembered that when Zuo Rui came back that day and kept chattering about Gu Jin, she couldn't help but be a little curious about Gu Jin.

Mrs. Qin Yanghou smiled, and her words were very intimate: "This is the second lady of Marshal Gu's family, right?" ”

Gu Jin nodded: "It's Gu Er." ”

Mrs. Qin Yanghou originally wanted to say a few more words to her, but she didn't expect Gu Jin to be an extremely cold person, and she didn't want to answer a word at all, so she only talked a few more words, and then turned her attention away from Gu Jin.

The corners of Gu Jin's mouth hooked up an imperceptible smile, she was indeed too lazy to say so many unrealistic and hypocritical words to Mrs. Qin Yanghou.

After another quarter of an hour, the ladies and ladies of each family came one after another, during which Wei Yuchuan and Qiu Rongyan came together, and Gu Jin greeted the two sisters.

Today's scene is not the time to speak, and listening to Wei Yuchuan's grievances can only be put on hold for a while.

The ladies and ladies waited at the table for a while, until Mrs. Qin Yanghou got the news and hurriedly got up to greet the guests in person, and then they all got up in a hurry.

Mrs. Qinyang Hou has a noble status, and there are not many people in Bianliang City who can let her go to greet people in person with such fanfare, if you think about it carefully, it should be Princess Juncheng and Jiang Rou, the county lord of Ningguo, who are suspicious, right?
