Chapter 9: The Family Feast

Princess Changping hugged her little daughter and said something, and Mama Lu came in. Looking at the scene of the mother's kindness and filial piety, Mama Lu smiled and said, "Princess, it's not too early, it's time to go to the front hall." ”

Tonight is a family banquet prepared by the eldest aunt for Gu Jin, and Princess Changping naturally can't be absent.

She reached out and took Gu Jin's little hand, and Mama Lu on the side straightened the hairpin on her bun that was a little crooked. Princess Changping said, "Let's go." ”

The front hall is a special place for banquets in the house, and it is more than enough to put a family banquet.

When Princess Changping led Gu Jin to arrive, many people came. They are all juniors of the same generation as Gu Jin, and they each brought someone they knew to sit together.

Princess Changping left Gu Jin and followed the Li family, leaving Gu Jin to sit alone.

When Gu Yao led a few younger sisters over, her eyes lit up when she saw Gu Jin. She hurriedly walked over, "It turns out that the sixth sister has arrived a long time ago, and I sent someone to look for you before, but you are not in the courtyard." ”

"What a coincidence, I went to greet my mother, and then came with my mother."

Gu Yao nodded knowingly, "No wonder, that's the case." ”

Gu Yao smiled lightly and was silent, and Gu Yao pointed to the bead hairpin on her head very excitedly and said, "Look, it's good-looking, right?" ”

"I saw it at a glance before, but I didn't expect me to have such a good eye, and it really flattered me."

"The second sister is naturally beautiful, and she looks good when she wears anything."

The pearl hairpin that Gu Yao asked Gu Jin to see was today's imperial gift. Gu Yao sat down with a smile, and the sisters who followed behind him also sat down together.

"The eldest brother and the fourth brother haven't come back yet, I'm afraid this dinner will have to wait for a while." Gu Yao said as she picked up a piece of dim sum and ate it.

The eldest brother in her mouth is Gu Changjue, the eldest son of Dingguo Gong, and the fourth brother is Gu Changheng, Gu Jin's brother-in-law, both of whom are now on duty in the palace.

Gu Changheng and Gu Yao are the same age, but they are half a month younger than Gu Yao.

Gu Wan looked at Gu Wan mysteriously and asked, "Sixth sister, do you remember the eldest lady of the Enguo Mansion?" ”

Gu Jin was stunned, "Lu Manzhen? Then he asked curiously, "What's wrong with her?" ”

Gu Wan glanced around, then lowered his voice and said, "Doesn't she have a marriage contract with her eldest brother?" It could have been a happy event two years ago. ”

As he spoke, Gu Wan glanced at Gu Yao. Then he said quickly: "The eldest aunt doesn't seem to be very happy. ”

The marriage between Gu Changjue and Lu Manzhen was given by the old lady and the old lady of the Enguo Mansion. Over the years, Lu Manzhen has grown bigger and bigger, and her talent has gradually become well-known to everyone in Kyoto.

No matter who doesn't praise her, she has a good blue heart, and the country is beautiful. But the eldest aunt didn't know why, she just kept dragging the marriage of the two.

Gu Changjue is almost weak, and his eldest sister has been married for two years, and he can't even have a daughter-in-law.

"Why?" Gu Jin asked suspiciously.

The girl in the house doesn't have much friendship with this sister-in-law at the end, and when she meets her, she just nods her head, but it's just a face-saving feeling.

Gu Wan's eyes lit up, and he gently bumped Gu Yao's arm and said, "Hey, do you have any 'insider' news." ”

Gu Yao had long known that this sister was very gossipy, but she still felt a little speechless.

"How do I know that?" Gu Yao took another bite of the snack, "Mother doesn't seem to be satisfied with Lu Manzhen." ”
