Although Chu Ying said that he was faceless for a while, the disgusting feeling in Dian Cui's heart also lingered. Dongxue saw that her face was not good, and hurriedly helped her up with Xin'er to change her clothes.

The little maid who belonged to Chu Ying's side secretly picked up the painting and hid it in her sleeve.

There was a burst of joyful voices at the door, and it turned out to be the Champion of the Imako who had entered the courtyard.

The third master walked in front, with a happy face, and from time to time he turned back to say something to Zhuang Yuanlang. Gu Guangyao, the champion Lang, led Brother Huai'er behind him, and listened to the third master of Gui speaking, with a respectful face and a little familiarity and kindness.

"Today is a big day for Gu Xian's nephew, but unfortunately Mrs. Gu is not there, Brother Huai'er and her mother have sent someone to Qingping County today, and when you return to your hometown to thank your ancestors, you can return to Beijing with Mrs. Gu, and I think that people will be invited in less than a month. When your mother and son are reunited, it will be considered a great joy. The third master said with a smile.

Gu Zhuangyuan's father died three years ago, and only his widowed mother was poor in his hometown. Now that Gu Guangyao has won the champion, the mother and son have finally raised their eyebrows and survived.

"Thank you, uncle," Gu Guangyao is not a person who is good at words, and he has also taken care of him when he has returned home over the years.

"I heard that the guests have arrived at the gate of the main courtyard, I will go over there to greet them, and there are few people at the door of this courtyard, and you and Brother Huai are just right to welcome guests here." As the third master said, he went to the gate happily.

His two sons are not around, and in the past six years, it is not an exaggeration for the third master to treat the smart, sensible, gentle and polite Gu Guangyao as his own son.

Gu Guangyao looked at the back of Master Guisan's brisk steps, and couldn't help but smile at Brother Huai'er.

"It's good to be the champion!" Gui Shuhuai was envious: "I will also be the champion in the future!" But I want to be a martial champion with strong martial arts! ”

Gui Shu Huai has a somewhat temperament with his second brother Gui Zhongqing When he was young, he was clever and martial.

"Be a martial champion, okay, come and have two tricks with me first." As he spoke, it was Bai Ye who strode over, when he was on the list in the martial arts, he directly entered the ranks, but he gradually had no intention of pursuing a career, and now he has to be an idle riding captain. The amount of money he took was no less than that of the substantive officials of the five grades, and his life was very chic and casual. Especially after his best friend Zhong Qing was depressed by the incident, he became even more lazy and inactive.

Rao is like this, Guishu is in his hands, and he can't even pass a move before he is caught in the armpit with his head down. Anxious to return to the book and scream angrily, attracting Diancui and the maid beside her.

"Lord Bai is so interested, are you competing with Brother Huai?" Diancui came over with a smile.

Bai Ye scratched his head and carefully put down Gui Shuhuai. Gui Shuhuai is only six years old this year, and he has eaten a lot of wine and food recently, and he was dazed for a while and compared with a baby. If this is spread, how can it not make people laugh and lose their big teeth?

"Fourth sister, don't laugh, it's me who was wrong." Bai Ye smiled.

In Diancui's impression, Bai Ye and her second brother Gui Zhongqing are the same kind of people, they are both young men who cross the street with such a horse, love to laugh and be martial, jealous and afraid of trouble. Now looking at his unshaven appearance, he is very depressed and unmotivated.

"Lord Bai is good at martial arts, why don't you be Brother Huai'er's martial arts master and teach him." The god of emerald made the ghost speak out of his mouth.

"I don't want to learn martial arts from him, he smells of wine. Brother Gu said that a good man should not make a mistake with wine. Guishu Huaishang felt faceless and annoyed because he was picked up headfirst by him, and when he heard his sister say that he would be a martial arts master for himself, he was naturally unhappy.

Bai Ye grinned, this kid's awkwardness was a bit like his second brother's demeanor.

"Lord Bai, please inside." Gu Guangyao turned sideways to invite him, Bai Ye touched Gui Shuhuai's reluctant head, and entered the courtyard with a smile.

Diancui didn't think much about it anymore, because the next few of her righteous brothers arrived one after another.

Several righteous brothers are now officials, and although they came in a hurry today, they have changed into regular clothes.

"Diancui to see your brothers, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are your brothers?" Diancui smiled and stepped forward to salute.

Several righteous brothers hurriedly rushed forward and stood still in front of Diancui, seeing that she saluted and didn't help her up like she did when she was a child, they just stood there stupidly and were happy.

"Fourth sister, hurry up, what kind of salute between our brothers and sisters. Let the eldest brother see, he's grown again, he's grown taller......"

Li Sang has the highest official rank, and he used to be majestic and elegant in the ministry, but in private he is still the kind-hearted and simple big brother. Seeing that Diancui was excited, he didn't know what to say, so he just repeated that he was older.

"I heard that the fourth brother and the fourth sister have a daughter, why don't you see our little niece?" Second Brother Tang said with a smile: "I've prepared some small things for her to play with." ”

Diancui smiled: "Thank you, brothers, Sister Ci was hugged by her grandmother, and she was already hugged by the maid, and she should come now." I heard that the second brother had set up a new mansion, and he should go to see the second sister-in-law another day. ”

"Naturally, you have to go more, your sister-in-law always thinks the house is quiet now, and now that you are back, she has someone to talk to in one place. Rest assured that your sister-in-law is gentle and quiet, and you two will definitely get along. ”

Second Brother Tang is now working in the Ministry of Rites, and he was not valued by his father and brother in the family because he was a concubine, and he was divided a few years ago, but now he has a wife and a son, and his life is more comfortable and smooth than when he was in the Tang Mansion.

"Second brother, everyone knows that the second sister-in-law is virtuous and quiet, so you don't have to talk about it all day long." Lao Liuyue Xu laughed and joked. 101 Chinese Net

Diancui pursed her lips and chuckled, she didn't expect that the second brother Tang, who had become a family, would be such a caring wife.

"The second sister-in-law is virtuous and quiet, that's natural, I don't know what about the sixth sister-in-law?" Diancui asked with a smile.

Yue Xu touched his nose and said goodbye to their nonsense, where do you still have six sisters-in-law. He does have an unmarried wife who has not passed through the door, but his father-in-law's family is different from the past, and this family business is far away.

His father-in-law's family has been hairpins for generations, and he is the home of Zhong Mingding's food, and he also has a little relationship with Diancui's grandmother, Mrs. Gui. He is now the experience of the Zongren Mansion, and he originally served the East Palace, and even their entire Yue family was a retainer of the former prince. Later, the crown prince was deposed, and the Yun family was wiped out overnight, and although his Yue's family was not hurt at all by virtue of his many years of foundation and military exploits, it automatically fell silent. Yue Xu's father, Lord Yue, was only at the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, but he took the initiative to hand over the excerpt of the pension afterwards and returned home.

Yue Xu has always agreed with the fourth brother Yuan Zhiheng's proposition the most, and naturally he also knows how to raise Taoguang to avoid the edge of the second prince and Xu Luo's family.

Today, he was also wearing a low-key twilight gray straight-fitting gown, which was not eye-catching among the brothers.

"Sixth brother don't be depressed, some things still need fate." Diancui said softly.

"Yes, yes, what the fourth sister said is that fate is not enough to force it, so don't think about it." Li Sang patted Yue Xu on the shoulder, most of the brothers got together to talk about some court affairs, and now they are a little green, and it is rare to talk about family life.

"I didn't think much about it, what's the use of getting a wife? If the fifth brother's family is accompanied by a beautiful concubine, this is the envy of others. Yue Xu laughed and led the topic to Qin Ruofu.

Qin Ruofu is still the account secretary of the household department, in charge of the world's accounts, the daily affairs are very busy, and he is under the jurisdiction of Lang Zhong above, this person is a lot thinner than when he was a student of Guozijian in the past. But there are many beautiful concubines in his family, but his wife has never been married, and there are no heirs.

"It's good to say what I'm doing," Qin Ruofu folded his fan, not like a household in charge of the world's treasury, but like a graceful son, and didn't forget to glance at Yue Xu, and said lightly: "If you have the ability, you can also take a concubine, don't be afraid that Mrs. Yue and her old man will let you go around without eating!" ”

It is a family rule that the Yue family only marries wives and does not accept concubines, so Yue Xu is also verbally envious.

"Brothers, please come in, this table is about to start." Dian Cui greeted with a smile, and the Gu Zhuangyuan at the gate of the back courtyard also stood there to entertain the guests.

Only then did these people remember, what are they doing today? I only saw that the fourth sister was excited, and I forgot to congratulate the champion.

"I'm waiting to congratulate the champion." Yue Xu smiled and said hello to Gu Guangyao instead of everyone.

Gu Guangyao's face flushed slightly, and he stepped forward and said to everyone: "Uncle Master, Uncle Second, Uncle Fifth, Uncle Six." ”

This appearance is still respectful and old-fashioned, which makes a little Cui purse his lips and laugh, and Yue Xu is even more happy.

Li Sang and the others were also a little embarrassed, usually looking at Gu Guangyao's young age and old age, everyone wanted to tease him, let him call Uncle Shi to play, he really shouted.

In the past, it was enough to shout, but now that people have become champions, they will join the government and become officials in the future, and it will be inappropriate to shout again.

"I'm afraid we're going to be colleagues in the future, so we won't call Uncle Shi anymore." Second Brother Tang patted him on the shoulder and instructed.

"Yes......" Gu Guangyao saluted again, provoking the second brother Tang to laugh and shake his head, how could the fourth brother's sparse and arbitrary temperament teach such a straightforward student, the master and apprentice are both champions and first, and it is also a strange news.

Thinking of the fourth brother Yuan Zhiheng, he couldn't help but ask Xiang Diancui, it's not short at this time, why haven't you seen the fourth brother come back yet?

Dian Cui was also a little anxious and said that as soon as she arrived in the capital today, she entered the palace and entered the palace, and no one had come back for a whole day, and she didn't know why she had been gone for so long.

"Fourth sister, don't worry, it should be a good thing!" Qin Ruofu said in a low voice, he was on duty in the household department today, and he heard his top boss Hubu Langzhong say that when he went to meet Lord Shangshu today, the saint in the Shangshu room was talking happily with Lord Yuan who came back from Hangzhou. After Shen Shi, Langzhong and Lord Shangshu came out of the study room, and heard the father-in-law who was in charge of the imperial dining room next to the emperor say that the emperor intended to keep Lord Yuan for dinner.

The courtiers who are not new years and festivals share dinner, and this kind of honor is not available to the Luo family, so Qin Ruofu said that it was a good thing not only for comfort.

Sure enough, during the banquet, Wu Shi saw that he couldn't wait for his son-in-law Yuan Zhiheng to come back, and was about to order the banquet to be held first, but he heard news from his father-in-law in the palace that Dao Sheng had left Shao Zhan Taichang Yuan to eat today, so there was no need to wait for the rank.

The third lord of Gui respectfully sent the messenger father-in-law out of the homecoming, and came back with excitement, and everyone looked different. Several of Yuan Zhiheng's righteous brothers were overflowing with joy, and others were envious, suspicious, and secretly thoughtful.

The father-in-law directly called Yuan Zhiheng as Lord Yuan of Shaozhan Taichang, which shows that the saint has enshrined his official position, and the reason why the decree has not yet been made must be that the Zhan Mansion has not yet prepared Yuan Zhiheng's official uniform and hat, and it is thought that everything will be ready early tomorrow morning.

"The position of the crown prince is unknown, this is too often Shao Zhan's seat has been empty for a long time, but at this juncture, the emperor wants to first enshrine Lord Yuan as Shao Zhan Taichang, is it to establish Tai ......?"

"Be careful! You and I can know this matter well, and we must not announce it. ”

"No matter what, in the future, this Guifu and Yuan's Mansion will be more lively."

There were many officials present, and with the strength of the wine, they also began to discuss in a low voice.

Shaozhan is too often, in charge of all the affairs of the queen and the prince's family, that is, the East Palace, the previous one has been imprisoned with the removal of the prince, and it has been vacant since then. Now that Yuan Zhiheng is sitting on this throne, King Gong and the second prince will inevitably try their best to win over.
