Chapter 35: Refusal Again

Two days later, the news of holding a Mid-Autumn Festival flower viewing banquet came out from the Wei Mansion. The news said that as long as the talented and beautiful people who received the invitation to the palace could go to Changyuan to taste tea and watch flowers on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The person who invited this invitation was drawn up by Shishiro himself, and the number of invitations was only twenty in total. Of course, the children under the knees of the Gu Mansion are pampered and well-pampered, and they are also on the list.

Let's say that Gu Nianjiao's younger brother Gu Nianshu has been worrying about his career recently. When he got the king's post from his father, he was overjoyed, and without saying a word, he wanted to go with his beloved wife and sister.

Gu Min hesitated: "Your sister has only been separated for a short time, so she rashly went to a crowded place, just for fear of being eye-catching." Gu Nianshu slapped his thigh: "Where did my father speak, it was because of He's departure that he had to go to a crowded place to move around." This time, the palace has a heart, invited the brothers and sisters of the twenty first-class families in Yuezhou, and I want my sister to be like a flower and a jade. "This two

"Planning", Gu Nianjiao was kept in the dark from beginning to end. It wasn't until one morning that Cui'e entered the house with a few horses of high-quality silk materials, and Gu Nianjiao inquired, only to know that her father had arranged for her to go to Changyuan to enjoy the flowers in the Mid-Autumn Festival more than ten days later.

"Girl, there are five horses of material here, all of which were sent by the housekeeper's mother Bu," Cui'e held it in front of Gu Nianjiao,

"I heard that this is the most fashionable silk yarn material in Yuezhou this autumn, you picked your favorite color, and the slave maid took it down and quickly made a new set of clothes, just enough to wear it when you go out." Gu Nianjiao didn't speak for a while.

She has been spending a leisurely day in the house for the past few days, and she has forgotten that there is this important Mid-Autumn Festival flower viewing banquet this year.

Thinking about her previous life, her brother went to a banquet with her, and during the banquet, he missed some words with the sons of the Zhu and Li families, and two years later he was involved in a dispute between friends, which caused Gu's door to be copied.

Gu Nianjiao shuddered, and her heart beat faster and faster.

"Cui'e, go and inquire quickly, where is Daddy now, I have something important to tell him." Yuezhou is close to Beijing, and Gu Min is the envoy of Yuezhou Jiedu, and before noon at this time, he must still be in the ya.

Gu Nianjiao pondered for a moment: "That's it, don't look for my father, I'll go directly to the study to find my eldest brother." Out of the atrium, her eldest brother's West Wing study is right in front of her.

Gu Nianjiao unconsciously even trembled her hands and knocked on the door of the study. At the desk, Gu Nianshu was writing hard, Gu Nianjiao asked Cui'e to wait outside, and when she went in, she turned around and closed the doors and windows.

The stakes are high. Gu Nianjiao had to be cautious. Gu Nianshu heard the sound, raised his eyebrows and saw the person coming, and smiled: "Sister don't hurry up to make clothes, it's good to go to enjoy the flowers in the Mid-Autumn Festival, what are you doing in the broken study here with the eldest brother?" Is it here to thank my brother? Gu Nianjiao stared at him with a solemn face, and did not speak for a long time.

Seeing her sister like this, Gu Nianshu restrained her smile, got up to give up her seat, and asked, "But what happened?" Gu Nianjiao and her eldest brother have been close since childhood, so they were not polite, and sat down directly and said, "Brother, have you decided to go to Changyuan?" ”

"Naturally, the invitation from the palace is hard to find, if you don't go, it won't be wasted."

"Is that brother just appreciating flowers, or is he going to seek a career?" Gu Nianshu was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "You have a daughter's family, how can you worry about this." Gu Nianjiao didn't give up: "Brother, answer me." Gu Nianshu's face was embarrassed, and he sighed slightly: "You also know that my brother has not been awarded an official and a half-knight since he was admitted to the Jinshi, and he is getting older day by day, how can my brother not worry?" Gu Nianjiao said: "My brother's words are wrong, now that the official family is sick, the queen mother must be choosing a new one from the clan." You need to know that once a son of heaven and a courtier, now my brother has no official position and no need to form a party, wouldn't it be the safest? Now you don't get it, but you get it. Gu Nianshu's eyebrows moved: "How did you think of this, even I was negligent." ”

"If my brother is in Changyuan, I see your friend, the brother of the Zhu and Li families, and avoid it first," Gu Nianjiao raised her sleeves and carefully studied ink for him,

"Even in the future, if there is any party or personal matter, my brother will also think about our Tang family, strive to be a clear stream, and not cling to the powerful." The last five words of those words were so straight that Gu Nianshu's face was gloomy.

Because he had already made up his mind, if he went to Changyuan tomorrow, he would definitely spend a lot of money to have a good relationship with the Zhu and Li families.

The Zhu and Li families were originally in-laws, and now they have the protection of King Chun of Jingshi, and they are in the limelight in Yuezhou, and they are almost comparable to the Yongwang Mansion.

Gu Nianshu was drinking tea in Yanyutai a few days ago, and heard the discussion that the Zhu and Li families had been involved in the election of the new official family, if this matter was serious, when the new official family ascended the throne, wouldn't the Zhu and Li families be like cooking oil with a bright future?

He had already made up his mind, but now his sister suddenly told him these advices, and he was reluctant to put it down for a while, and he was afraid of burning his hands when he picked it up, and his expression was very dilemma.

Gu Nianjiao saw his hesitation, picked up the inkstone and smashed it against the wall.

"Brother, I want you to swear to me, swear that you will never make friends with the powerful in the future, just like your father and grandfather, only be a high-ranking person, and do not collude with traitors!" The inkstone was filled with thick black ink, splashing all over the walls and floor.

The previously clean study is now in a mess. Gu Nianshu was frightened, stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "What's wrong with you, just talk, what do you smash and swear?" Gu Nianjiao word by word: "I just let my brother see, above the court, there are people who turn their hands for clouds and hands for rain, if you are accidentally involved, once the court situation changes, our lives will be so inkstone, and there will be no more turning over!" Gu Nianshu's face turned pale.

Gu Nianjiao said again: "Brother, have you forgotten the ancestral teachings of our Tang family? Gu Nianshu's lips moved, and he spoke in a dumb voice for a long time: "I haven't forgotten." ”

"Do you remember that the Gu Mansion has been cautious for generations, especially my father, who has been an official for decades, how he acted cautiously, for fear of taking the wrong step?" The sweat on Gu Nianshu's head was already dense: "I remember." At this point, Gu Nianjiao didn't want to say more.

got up and opened the door, and called Cui'e: "Find someone to clean my brother's study, but I just missed and knocked over his inkstone." Then he turned around and glanced deeply at Gu Nianshu, who had a complicated expression: "My sister-in-law is four months pregnant, and I think this child will be watched by you like a jewel in the future." Gu Nianshu shook violently, and finally fell back on the circle chair like a loss of strength.

That night, Wei Qinzhi frowned under the lamp and asked Qing Yu: "This time it was the Tang family who refused?" Qing Yu nodded: "Yes, then the Tang family is the same as Master Tang, they are both extremely clear people." Presumably, he didn't want to come to this powerful banquet. ”

"It's that I'm reckless," Wei Qinzhi clenched his fist and gently tapped on the bookcase,

"I thought that if Miss Gu could come with his brother, with her poetic talent, she would be able to impress her mother. If I can make a good impression on my mother, I will ...... in the future."
