Chapter 34: Funny Old Man
Sang Huai'an walked fast, Mai Jiu trotted to barely keep up, and she walked on Sang Huai'an's right side with her calves upside down.
Mai Jiu turned his head to look the person next to him up and down with curiosity: "When did you come back?" Is your case done? How did you solve the case? ”
Sang Huai'an didn't squint, and replied coldly, "I just arrived, and I checked it, but it wasn't broken." ”
Mai Jiu pursed her lips, looking at Sang Huai'an, who looked like she didn't want to pay attention to people, she didn't continue to ask.
The Prime Minister's Mansion was very lively, four, five or six bear children were chasing and playing, three or three ladies were talking and laughing together, Mai Jiu's eyes were keenly eyed and saw a middle-aged woman dressed in red and purple, she wanted to go over as soon as she turned around.
Just a few steps later, someone grabbed the collar behind his clothes, Mai Jiu stretched out his hand and wanted to knock it off, but the person behind him pulled it back.
Mai Jiu slapped his back arm and stepped back.
"Sang Huai'an let go of me, I'm about to strangle me."
The collar was loosened, Mai Jiu frowned, muttering and cursing Sang Huai'an while tidying up his clothes.
"Let's go to the Gu family master to say hello first, you're going to play." After speaking, Sang Huai'an grabbed Mai Jiu's collar again
Mai Jiu was still angry, and she had nowhere to go, so she was carried forward by Sang Huai'an like a chick, she sighed, and crossed her arms around her chest expressionlessly, now she has nowhere to go but to be at her disposal.
Immediately arrived in front of the Gu family's main house, Sang Huai'an let go of the hand holding Mai Jiu, and Mai Jiu stretched the collar of Lao Gao, who was pulled: "I will sue you to the Gu family master in a while, saying that you bullied me." ”
The corners of Sang Huai'an's mouth raised and a disdainful smile appeared, and he said nonchalantly, "Whatever you want." After saying that, he turned around and walked into the house, and Mai Jiu followed closely behind.
In the house, the head of the Gu family was sitting on the main seat and talking and laughing with the people below, and when he saw someone walking in, he looked at it, and when he saw that it was the prince and everyone stepped forward to salute, the head of the Gu family also stood up on crutches.
Sang Huai'an put his hands behind his back and said coldly, "No need to be polite, please sit down as the head of the Gu family." ”
When everyone saw the prince coming, they all retreated.
The head of the Gu family took a few steps forward with a cane, and said with a smile on his face: "Lord Wang, how long has it been since I saw you?" The head of the Gu family turned sideways and looked at the person behind the prince: "Yo, our mandarin duck is also here, let my grandfather take a good look." ”
The Gu family master took a few steps forward with a cane, and Mai Jiu saw the Gu family master's trembling appearance and hurriedly stepped forward to support him, for fear that he would fall before he left.
Sang Huai'an sat on the chair, and Mai Jiu helped the Gu family master back to the chair.
The head of the Gu family smiled: "Our mandarin man is sensible, or my old man in our mandarin heart." ”
The house slave brought two cups of tea, Sang Huai'an picked it up, gently took the lid and skimmed the tea foam on it and said, "Master Gu, this king sends you something every year, you are insinuating this king." ”
The head of the Gu family returned to seriousness, knocked on the ground with a cane, and replied, "It's you, how many years have you not been to the Prime Minister's Mansion since you became the prince, if it weren't for the old man's sixtieth birthday today, would I still see you." ”
Mai Jiu looked at the head of the Gu family and then at Sang Huai'an, who was leisurely drinking tea, she scratched her cheek, this is.... What's going on?
Mai Jiu walked lightly to the chair next to Sang Huai'an and sat down, and as soon as she sat down, she met the Gu family master who had been watching her.
Mai Jiu raised his mouth and smiled, and the head of the Gu family also smiled and said, "In this way, Yuan'er is much fatter than when she got married, and the food in the palace is definitely better than the Prime Minister's Mansion." ”
Mai Jiu squinted silently and smiled, she looked at Sang Huai'an, who was still drinking tea on the side, and she also picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.
"Look at you so round, isn't it... Pregnant? ”
Mai Jiu squirted out all the tea, she quickly put the tea back on the table, stretched out her hand to wipe the corners of her mouth, and then turned her head to look at the Gu family master with an incredulous face.
Sang Huai'an put the teacup on the table and said, "Master Gu, it's the king's fault that this king doesn't come to see you, you don't have to be so unforgiving. ”
The head of the Gu family turned his head and muttered quietly, "It's good that you know." ”
Sang Huai'an continued, "The queen mother has always been very worried about you, this time I couldn't come to let the king talk to you, Da'an has been a little unpeaceful recently, the queen mother is in retreat and prays for the safety of Da'an, you don't blame." ”
Hearing the Empress Dowager Gu, the head of the Gu family smiled, turned her head and replied, "It's okay, it's okay, it's enough for the Empress Dowager to have me in her heart, how dare you blame it." ”
The head of the Gu family looked at the person beside the prince again, Mai Jiu was staring at a certain place stunned, and then a person hurriedly walked in outside the door: "Subordinates, see the prince, princess." ”
Hearing the voice, Mai Jiu looked back and saw the man kneeling down on one knee and clasping his fists in salute.
Sang Huai'an said: "No need to be polite. ”
The man got up and saluted the head of the Gu family again, "Grandfather." ”
The head of the Gu family smiled and said, "Hurry up and take a seat." After speaking, he shouted outward: "Come and serve a cup of tea to the eldest young master." ”
Gentleman? Mai Jiu looked at the person in front of him, could it be... Is it Gu Ziyuan's brother? The skin is dark, and the body is strong, as if he is a person who practices martial arts.
Gu Yexuan sat on the chair, there were beads of sweat on his neck, and he was a little anxious. When the Gu family master saw Gu Yexuan's appearance, he opened his mouth and asked, "Why are you in such a hurry?" ”
Gu Yexuan stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat on his neck and said, "I heard that the second sister came back and came to see it in a hurry, and pushed away a lot of other wives' matchmakers, and finally escaped, and the grandson will never go out again, it's terrible." ”
After speaking, he looked at Mai Jiu on the opposite side: "The prince takes care of the second sister so well, his face is full of red light... Round and jade. ”
"I..." Mai Jiu knew that this was a tact, and she was fat, and she couldn't find the words to go back for a while, she turned her head to look at Sang Huai'an and whispered, "Am I fat?" ”
Sang Huaian shook his head slightly, and also lowered his voice: "Not fat." ”
Gu Yexuan took the tea handed over by the house slave, drank it all in one gulp, and said with a sincere face, "Second sister, isn't she pregnant?" ”
Mai Jiu's mouthful of old blood almost didn't spurt out, I admit that I'm fat.
The head of the Gu family said to Gu Yexuan: "No, no, it should be fat." ”
"Huh? Is it? Is the food in the palace so good? ”
"yes, yes, how else can I eat in a circle."
The two of them chatted so unscrupulously in front of Mai Jiu and said that she was fat, and they did not shy away from it. Mai Jiu turned his head to look at Sang Huai'an on the side, and even Sang Huai'an looked at the two with a smile on his face.
She sat down in her chair with her arms around her chest, her face full of displeasure.
Gu Yexuan noticed Mai Jiu's movements, and hurriedly said good words: "Not fat, not fat, big brother's mouth, big brother's mouth." After speaking, Gu Yexuan also lightly slapped his mouth twice.
"What are you talking about?" A sweet voice came into the ears of the people in the house, and a girl jumped into the house.
After seeing Mai Jiu, the girl shouted happily: "Second sister! After seeing the prince beside Mai Jiu, she instantly knelt down with a serious expression and saluted, "See the prince, princess." ”
"Get up."
Hearing the voice, Gu Wanyao stood up, threw herself in front of Mai Jiu, and said coquettishly, "Second sister, second sister, have you missed Yaoyao?" ”
Mai Jiu's hand was held and dangled by the person in front of her, and she looked at the girl in front of her.
The girl is only twelve or thirteen years old, wearing a pale pink skirt, the cuffs are embroidered with a snow-white rabbit pattern, a white melon seed face, curved eyebrows and eyes, and the bangs on the forehead and the two hairs on the cheeks add a little cuteness, which looks a little similar to Mai Jiu.
Gu Wanyao shook her hand even more sharply without answering, and Mai Jiu hurriedly replied, "Think about it, it's been a long time since I've seen my little sister look so slim." ”
When Gu Wanyao heard this, she let go of Mai Jiu's hand, curled the broken hair in front of her ear, and said shyly, "Where is it, where is it." ”
After speaking, he turned around and jumped up and sat next to Gu Yexuan and said, "Big brother, are you interested in any girl this time?" ”
Hearing the little sister's words, Gu Yexuan turned his head and was reluctant to answer.
After looking outside, the head of the Gu family knocked on the ground with his cane and said, "Let's go, it's almost time for dinner." With that, he got up and strode forward.
Mai Jiu watched the old man walk like a fly, and the crutches in his hand were carried in his hands like an ornament, compared to just now, it was like two people.
Mai Jiu looked at Sang Huai'an with a puzzled face and asked, "This old man is like this, I thought ...."
Sang Huai'an stood up and replied, "You met him for the first day?" Pretend that your health is not good, and you sympathize with it, and then count you down, the head of the Gu family has always been like this. ”
The head of the Gu family stood in front of the table and raised his wine glass, and his voice was loud: "Everyone is willing to come to the old 60th birthday banquet today, you don't have to be restrained, just eat and drink well." ”
The guests at each table shouted in unison, "I wish the head of the Gu family a blessing like the East China Sea, and a longevity than Nanshan." ”
The head of the Gu family drank the wine in his hand, nodded with a smile and sat down.
Mai Jiu's eyes kept looking at the desktop.
This fish looks delicious, and this chicken is also good, so where to start.
Sang Huai'an next to him looked at Mai Jiu, who was biting his chopsticks with a tangled face, with his arms around his chest: "They all said that you are fat, don't you plan to eat less?" ”
Mai Jiuyan quickly picked up the chicken leg and took a bite, and then replied inarticulately: "You don't dislike me, why should I lose weight, is it not good to be fat and hopeful?" With that, he shoved the chicken leg into his mouth.
Mai Jiu observed the surroundings while eating, looking for customers, and sure enough, many adults came with their wives.
At this time, the head of the Gu family came to the table to say hello, and when he saw Mai Jiu, who was stuffed with a mouth full of some chews, he said from afar: "The princess is really appetizing." ”
Mai Jiu raised her eyes and saw the Gu family master with a smile on her face, she quickly chewed the food in her mouth and wanted to open her mouth to go back, but she heard Sang Huai'an beside her slowly speak, "This king has never treated her badly, she has a good appetite and can't help it." ”
The Gu family master smiled and walked towards the next table.
Mai Jiu looked at the Gu family master, her mouth was still chewing, and she couldn't help but say, "Why is this old man like this, if you don't scold me, is he uncomfortable." ”
"You don't have to talk about others, the Gu family master is famous for his straightforwardness and quick heart, and he loves to tease people, what about you, you have been clever and clever since you were a child, and you have inherited the Gu family master."
Mai Jiu swallowed the food in his mouth, it turns out that this Gu Ziyuan's personality is so similar to mine...
She stuffed some food into her mouth again and got up to leave, but was pulled by Sang Huai'an, she shook her hand and broke free and said, "Don't stop me, I'm going to make money." After saying that, he ran away like a mouse.
