This New Year was not very smooth for Gu Huanyi and Li Congxin.

Lin Youhai absconded, the Qilin Society was exposed, Wu Lie betrayed, and Li Congxin fell into rumors...... A series of things made Gu Huanyi feel a little anxious.

On the twenty-fifth day of the first lunar month, Qiao Jingyun came to Gu Huanyi to talk about Wu Lie.

Qiao Jingyun looked indignant: "Who would have thought that Wu Lie would be such a person? My father-in-law has been drunk and crazy for several days, and he is so sad that he can't do it, and he keeps saying that their righteous brother has not been easy along the way. The reason why Wu Lie has been reused by the emperor is because Xichang has handled a lot of beautiful big cases over the years, but behind these cases, which one has not been contributed by the prince of Ming? And when his child was seriously ill, his wife couldn't find him and begged the prince, but the prince found the imperial doctor in the palace overnight to save the child's life. His Wulie family can have today, all thanks to the prince of Ming! didn't expect it to be a steak inside and out, you can imagine how sad the son of the world should be! ”

Li Congxin helped others, he never took the initiative to mention it, and Gu Huanyi didn't know about it.

Although she could expect that Li Congxin treated her righteous brother very well, when she heard Qiao Jingyun say it, she still felt aggrieved for Li Congxin.

Gu Huanyi said: "If Wu Lie still has a little conscience, he should recruit all the evil things he has done and the people who instructed him." ”

Qiao Jingyun shook his head and said, "My father-in-law went to Dali Temple to find him, saying that he would not recruit him, if it was just a dereliction of duty, he would not be guilty of his wife and children." If more is recruited, his whole family will be sat together. He probably wanted to take it on his own. ”

Gu Huanyi listened, and had to sigh.

Qiao Jingyun knew that everyone was in a bad mood, so she didn't say more, and said, "I came here today to discuss something." Twenty-eight is the birthday of the son, and at this time in previous years, the brothers would get together together. My husband said that the prince didn't mention it this year, presumably because he was in a bad mood. But the more this is the case, the more we have to get together, we can't let the son of the world be sad alone, he and Jin Ying are still good brothers of the son, and they will always be by his side. ”

Gu Huanyi felt guilty, she was too negligent, and she never asked about Li Congxin's birthday!

She blushed slightly, embarrassed to tell Qiao Jingyun that she didn't know, so she had to say: "In such a situation this year, it is indeed not appropriate to be too lively, and the prince must not be in the mood." I'll settle this matter with him in the next two days, and I'll tell you as soon as possible! ”

Sending Qiao Jingyun away, Gu Huanyi immediately asked Liu Pei for questioning.

Sure enough, as Qiao Jingyun said, three days later, the 28th day of the first lunar month will be Li Congxin's twenty-second birthday.

Liu Pei said: "The son of the world has not been too young since he was a child, and he studied abroad when he was young, and sometimes he didn't even remember to eat longevity noodles. On last year's birthday, I had a drink with a few masters, and it was over. ”

In the first month of last year, Gu Huanyi was still in Liangzhou and didn't know anything.

Gu Huanyi said: "In the past, I didn't know, but now that I know, I can't be so sloppy." ”

In the evening, she discussed her birthday with Li Congxin.

Li Congxin subconsciously shook his head and said no.

Gu Huanyi insisted: "No, what Sister Qiao said is very right, the more you have to celebrate your birthday at this time, you can't alienate Cui Shizi and Young Master Jin just because of a martial artist." ”

Li Congxin said helplessly: "It's not that I am alienated from the third and fourth brothers, I just think that everyone doesn't need to work hard for my birthday." ”

"How can it be hard work, although the birthday banquet is to celebrate the birthday of the birthday star, it is also an opportunity for everyone to get together for recreation, and everyone will feel happy."

Li Congxin didn't like her, so he had to agree: "Then let's get together this year." ”

Gu Huanyi didn't plan to make a big deal, the current situation outside is not very good for Li Congxin, if he acts in a high-profile manner, he will only look arrogant.

Li Congxin's self-satisfaction was not spacious enough, and it was not suitable to hold a banquet, but it was not suitable to hold it in her house, so Gu Huanyi asked Defu Building to close on the 28th day of the first lunar month, and made a special trip to hold a banquet for Li Congxin.

The people who participated in the banquet, in addition to Cui Jingxuan, Qiao Jingyun, and Jin Ying, Gu Huanyi also called He Guangling and Song Xiangjun.

Because of the relationship between He Guangling and Jin Ying, Gu Huanyi was a little hesitant to let the two meet, but He Guangling was a lively person, and Gu Huanyi felt that it would be better to have more people.

In order to avoid embarrassment, she personally went to the eldest princess's mansion to find He Guangling and ask her what she meant.

He Guangling was quite free and easy, and said: "Brother Congxin rarely holds a banquet, so I naturally want to go." Although I don't like Jin Ying, I have no grievances with him, so there is no need to avoid him. ”

"If only you could think so!" Gu Huanyi breathed a sigh of relief.

He Guangling said with a smile: "Sister Gu takes care of me on weekdays, and I always have to give this face." ”

As she spoke, she took Gu Huanyi to the closet to see her new clothes, all of which were made for her during the New Year, and some new fabrics, even Gu Huanyi had never seen them, but they had already entered her wardrobe.

In the matter of loving beauty, Gu Huanyi is really sighing to himself.

When Gu Huanyi said goodbye, he met the eldest princess of Xuyang who had returned from outside in the courtyard.

Gu Huanyi asked He Guangling before coming, and when he learned that the eldest princess had gone out today, he dared to come to the door rashly.

She was slightly alarmed and immediately saluted.

The eldest princess of Xuyang is a little old, and her appearance is not kind, and Gu Huanyi is a little apprehensive.

But very unexpectedly, the eldest princess of Xuyang treated her very politely: "I often hear Ling'er talk about you, I only saw you today, since you came, why don't you sit for a while?" ”

Gu Huanyi said: "I came here in a hurry today, just to say a few words to Sister He, and next time when it is convenient for the eldest princess, I will make a special trip to visit." ”

The eldest princess nodded and said, "You juniors don't have to be restrained in front of me. Since it's inconvenient today, let's play again next time. ”

After saying goodbye to the eldest princess, after Gu Huanyi and He Guangling walked outside, she whispered: "I came to the door for the first time, and I didn't bring any gifts, and I didn't officially meet the eldest princess, it's really rude." ”

He Guangling felt that it didn't matter: "My little aunt is actually very good, you don't have to be afraid of her." It's not good to blame me today, I thought she went to the palace to see Concubine Zhenniang, and she didn't come back so soon. ”

Gu Huanyi asked, "How is Concubine Zhen Niangniang now?" ”

He Guangling said: "I heard that there is no big problem, but it is easy to wake up at night, and the emperor is personally accompanied." ”

Gu Huanyi nodded, slightly relieved.

On the twenty-eighth day of the first month, Gu Huanyi took Song Xiangjun to prepare early in Defu Building.

Song Xiangjun heard Gu Huanyi say that Defu Mansion was closed today and only entertained them, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Cousin, you are too generous!" Although it has not been long since the opening of Defu Building, I heard that the business is very good, how much does this bag cost a day! ”

Gu Huanyi pursed his lips and smiled: "When he personally went to Dancheng to pick me up in Beijing last year, in order not to disturb me, he chartered the entire inn. The son of the world treats me so well, how can I pick and search for him on his birthday. In fact, this is just a small amount of money, let's not compare with the royal family, let's just say that ordinary eunuchs, casually do the east banquet, which one can't be hundreds of thousands of taels of silver? ”
