Chapter 49: The Winter Feast
Gu Huanyi sighed and said to Xiao Fenghua, "You have been wronged and welcomed with a smile." ”
Xiao Fenghua said: "Where Miss said, I was eating this bowl of rice, and singing the same song everywhere." If I can find out that my brother's death is because he is avenging, I can do anything! ”
Gu Huanyi said: "I will live up to your expectations." ”
Li Chengxu came to Qilin Club today to cheer or smash the field, which was expected by Gu Huan, and she asked his coachman Yang Xin to "inadvertently" see Princess Miaohua's car, so she could naturally lead them together.
After this incident, the contradiction between Li Chengxu and Concubine Zhen has surfaced, to the point where he has to draw a clear line.
Several people discussed again, if Li Chengxu came to Xiao Fenghua again, how to deal with it later, and what news should be found from Li Chengxu, etc.
At the end, when Gu Huanyi left, he left Xiao Fenghua alone and said, "Miss Song, who is playing with you today, is my mother's aunt and cousin, I think she treats you very much, but...... But I don't want her to get involved in our plans, and if she comes to you privately in the future, I hope you can help me. ”
Xiao Fenghua understood the look of her eyes very well, understood what Gu Huanyi meant, and said, "I understand, I will not dare to climb Miss Gaobiao." ”
Gu Huanyi sighed again, she didn't want to be this villain, but she had to be this villain.
The eldest aunt Jiang has high hopes for Song Xiangjun, and will categorically not agree to her marrying a servant, if Gu Huanyi allows the situation to develop, it is Song Xiangjun who will be injured in the end.
When Gu Huanyi returned to Gu's house, Li Congxin had been waiting for her for a long time.
Li Congxin has been accustomed to going to Gu's house for dinner these days, and when he saw that she had not returned, he kept waiting.
Li Congxin helped her untie her cloak to block the wind and snow, and asked with concern, "Why did you stay so late in the Qilin Club?" ”
Gu Huanyi didn't intend to hide it from Li Congxin, and said: "I'll be back in the afternoon, I just remembered something and went again." Although the Kirin Society is not in my name, it is opened by my subordinates. ”
Li Congxin nodded, did not ask deeply, and instead asked about her hosting Princess Miaohua today.
Hearing that Li Chengxu also went today and listened to the play with her, Li Congxin's face was a little unpleasant.
When he heard them quarrel and broke up unhappily, his face turned sunny again.
Gu Huanyi smiled and said: "You are sometimes like a child, happy and angry for a while, and you will change your face more and more." ”
Li Congxin said: "That is, you can let me do this." ”
The two teased a couple of words and got down to business.
"Li Congxin was stimulated today, and he will definitely realize the threat to him from Concubine Zhen's mother and son, and he may have made moves in the near future."
Gu Huanyi asked, "Shall we remind Concubine Zhen?" ”
After all, she is an unborn child, and Concubine Zhen has no substantial harm to her, and leaving Concubine Zhen's mother and son can balance Li Chengxu, which is very useful to them.
Li Congxin said: "Be careful in this matter, if you are not careful, you will be involved in it." I'll arrange the affairs in the palace, you don't have to worry about it, just communicate with Princess Miaohua normally. ”
Gu Huanyi currently has a line except for Mama Zhou, and he really can't do anything in the palace, so he won't ask more.
In the blink of an eye, in the second half of winter, it snowed heavily in the imperial capital, and it rained for three days in a row, and the whole city was covered in snow.
Gu Huanyi was preparing New Year's goods at home, and suddenly received an invitation from the Fenhou Mansion.
The person who invited her was not Cui Jingxuan, who had a relationship with her, but Cui Jingxuan's mother, Mrs. Fenhou.
Mrs. Fenhou invited craftsmen to make ice sculptures in the Taoist mansion, invited relatives and friends to come over to enjoy the fun, invited the old lady of the Song family, and asked the old lady of the Song family to bring Gu Huanyi to come together.
The old lady of the Song family usually interacts with businesswomen or ordinary officials, and has no dealings with duchess like Mrs. Fenhou, so she felt strange when she received the post, and called Gu Huanyi to ask what was going on.
Gu Huanyi lowered his head and said embarrassedly: "The prince once said that he would ask Fenhou to be a matchmaker to propose marriage, maybe this is the reason." ”
Mrs. Song suddenly realized that if she wanted to propose, she had to establish contact and make a show before it seemed logical.
Since this is the reason, Mrs. Song attaches great importance to it.
On the day of the banquet, when the grandfather and grandson arrived at the Fenhou Mansion, Mrs. Fenhou personally greeted them at the door.
Old Madam Song got out of the car and said, "It's cold, how can you come out in person, it's too polite." ”
Mrs. Fenhou Mansion has a fate, and her status is much higher than that of Mrs. Song.
Mrs. Fenhou smiled heartily and said, "You are an elder, so I naturally want to come out to greet you." ”
Mrs. Fenhou looked at Gu Huanyi and asked, "This is your granddaughter in the Gu family, right?" It's really good. ”
Old Madam Song nodded with a smile and said, "It's her, please remember it." ”
Mrs. Fenhou said: "My lord respects the righteous and brave marquis very much, Miss Gu has come to Beijing, and we as elders should be more concerned." ”
Old Madam Song said: "You have a heart, the child will bother Mrs. Hou more in the future." ”
"What's the bother, I invite a guest who can't be invited, just in time! My new daughter-in-law is not a few years older than her, and she is a good person to get along with, so I will let you get to know each other later. ”
Gu Huanyi thanked him: "Thank you, Madame, for taking care of you." ”
Mrs. Fenhou and Mrs. Song walked into the hall affectionately, and there were already a few other guests present.
Mrs. Fenhou introduced Gu Huanyi to everyone, and called her daughter-in-law Qiao Jingyun and asked her to take Gu Huanyi to the warm pavilion in the back to play.
After the younger generation left, Mrs. Fenhou asked Mrs. Song: "Miss Gu has also reached marriageable age, right?" It's a pity that she has no mother, and the old lady has to worry more about her. ”
Old Madam Song understood what Mrs. Fenhou meant very well, and said with a smile: "I have a headache about this matter recently. My eldest daughter left such a lone seedling, and the marriage naturally had to be carefully considered. That ordinary, I'm afraid that I have wronged the child, that's good, our family can't climb high, and I really can't pick a suitable one. ”
Mrs. Fenhou hurriedly said, "You're talking about it!" Your son-in-law is the emperor's imperial seal General Gu as the Marquis of Righteousness, Miss Gu is a serious Miss Houfu, her identity is here, where can she not do good family affairs? If you don't dislike it, I'll volunteer to help you take care of this and ask you for a matchmaker's drink, how about it? ”
"Oh, that's great!" Mrs. Song thanked: "Who in the capital doesn't know that you are a lively person, you know the most people, and you have more vision than me, I thank you in advance!" ”
Mrs. Fenhou said with a smile: "You don't have to be polite, Gu Jiajun sacrificed for the country, leaving such a child, we should take care of it more." Moreover, I liked this child as soon as I saw it, and I was destined to do it, so I made a mistake. ”
The ladies who were listening in the living room didn't understand why the Fenhou Mansion invited the Song family to be a guest today, but now when they heard it, although they didn't know who Mrs. Fenhou was trying to protect the media, they all knew that Gu Huanyi was going to get married.
Who isn't a good person? At the moment, everyone began to cheer.
