Chapter 5: The Banquet

Previous Chapter

"Mother." Gu Yanxi expected that Lord Yan would come to her.

"Xiyuan likes bamboo?" Lord Yan asked, she didn't have the slightest doubt that this painting was not made by Gu Yanxi, of course she also felt Gu Yanxi's changes.

"It has the spirit of self-improvement and standing up to the sky; Tsinghua is outside, in it, elegant and refined, not flattering. Four seasons of Changchun, not grandiose, not domineering. Gu Yanxi replied lightly, she hoped that she could have the spirit of bamboo, be strong, and be reborn in adversity.

Hearing her answer, Lord Yan smiled, and then looked at her with some apologies. "I heard about it a few days ago, and I wronged you."

When Gu Yanxi heard this, she shook her head, she looked at Lord Yan, stretched out her hand to hold Lord Yan's hand, she knew that Lord Yan was actually very aggrieved in her heart, she was the main room, but in Gu Houye's heart, it was not as good as the concubine.

Lord Yan is not in good health, and he is kind by nature, so he did not embarrass Aunt Mo and other concubines, if he is replaced by the housewife of other people's families. What kind of concubine room is so arrogant, she has already been sent to buy by the main room.

It is also strange that the county lord was born too well, the eighth prince cherished the eighth princess, and did not have a concubine, the county lord grew up with a golden spoon in his mouth, and did not disdain this house fight.

"In a few days, the old lady of Zhen'anhou Mansion will celebrate her seventieth birthday, you can go with me! You're not too young either. It's also time for the family to be married. ”

Yes, if she hadn't met Hu Yuanfeng in her previous life, she might not have a different ending. In her previous life, she met Hu Yuanfeng at the right age of fifteen, when the lord of Yan County originally set her the son of the Jianjin Hou Mansion, but she didn't like fame and fortune so much, and she insisted on marrying Hu Yuanfeng, the second son of the General's Mansion.

When Lord Yan left, he also took the bamboo painting away by the way, with a satisfied smile on his face.

When it came to the birthday of the old lady of Zhen'an Hou Mansion, Gu Yanxi cleaned up and went to the gate of the mansion, but saw Gu Yanzhi who was also standing there from a distance.

Gu Hou Ye snubbed Aunt Mo for a few days, and then I don't know what method Aunt Mo used, Gu Hou Ye went to her courtyard again, if it wasn't for Aunt Mo to fight for Gu Yanzhi this opportunity, Gu Yanzhi's identity may not be able to enter the eyes of those noble ladies.

"Big sister is fine." When Gu Yanxi walked to her side, she was very polite and polite. Although there was a smile on his face, he was still a little unwilling in his eyes, and it was estimated that he was also taught a lesson by Gu Houye that day because of Aunt Mo's affairs.

"I heard that my father punished my second sister for copying the female ring several times." Gu Yanzhi said deliberately.

Gu Yanzhi's face changed after hearing this, her eyes were a little cold, she turned around and glared at the two girls behind her, although it was not a secret that she was punished, but it was Gu Yanxi who was told it, and suddenly she felt that her face hurt as if she had been slapped a few times.

"That day, I also blamed my sister for not being careful and bumped into my sister." Gu Yanzhi gritted her teeth and smiled with her scalp.

Gu Yanxi looked at her with a smile, did not take her words, and seemed to directly acquiesce to what Gu Yanzhi had just said, which made Gu Yanzhi's face even more ugly.

Today, Gu Yanzhi is dressed beautifully, with a large peony emerald green smoke yarn Bixia Luo, a pink narcissus scattered flower green leaf skirt mopping the floor, and a thin gold silk smoke emerald green yarn. The low-hanging sideburns are obliquely inserted and inlaid with pearls and jasper, and the flowers and moon look out of the water hibiscus. , at a young age, Aunt Mo's kind of fox charm has been inherited to her.

Lord Yan was not in good health, so she came a little late, and only two carriages were prepared, so Gu Yanxi had to ride in the same carriage with Lord Yan, she believed that Gu Yanzhi didn't like to see her.

Huaidu is the imperial city, when the carriage reaches the street, the hawker's cries and all kinds of sounds are transmitted into the carriage, Lord Yan leaned on the carriage, closed his eyes and fell asleep gently, as if she didn't sleep well last night, and the noisy sound did not wake her up.

Gu Yanxi lifted the curtain and looked at the scenery outside the car, and her calm face couldn't help but move.

"Miss Xi, it's still a long time before you arrive at Zhen'anhou Mansion, and you can rest for a while."

Mama Shen persuaded.

Gu Yanxi nodded and withdrew her gaze.

I don't know how long it took for the carriage to stop, Mama Shen woke up the mother and daughter, Gu Yanxi got down from the carriage first, and then several girls also helped Lord Yan down from the carriage.

"You follow me first." Lord Yan reminded softly, and there was still a trace of tiredness on his face.

At this time, Gu Yanzhi was very obedient, Lord Yan did not take care of Gu Yanzhi, a few days ago, Aunt Mo wronged Gu Yanxi, although she didn't do anything, but she still reassured Aunt Mo in her heart. Originally, she didn't plan to bring Gu Yanzhi this time, but Gu Hou Ye and Zheng insisted on letting her bring it.

At the gate of Zhen'an Hou's Mansion, I met several noble wives of the family, and several wives were very stammering with the county lord of Yan, and even praised Gu Yanxi, but directly ignored Gu Yanzhi, Gu Yanzhi was very angry in her heart, but she couldn't vent it.

"My snow girl is also eleven this year, but she is the same age as the county lord's daughter, she has been to Zhen'anhou Mansion a few times, or she will take the county lord's daughter to the garden to have a look." As she spoke, the woman pulled the girl out from behind her.

Gu Yanxi immediately recognized her as the wife of the Marquis of Yongchang, and this girl who was about the same age as her was her daughter-in-law, named Wei Yuyan.

Lord Yan glanced at his daughter, then nodded and spoke. "Go ahead!"

With her mother's permission, Gu Yanxi followed Wei Yuyan and walked away, of course, followed by Gu Yanzhi.

Wei Yuyan might as well be very restrained, at first she didn't know Gu Yanzhi's identity, but later she learned that Gu Yanzhi was just a concubine of the Le Hou Mansion, and now she looked down on Gu Yanzhi more and more.

The daughters of the nobles of the family have always been precious, and the concubine is despised by others, if the mother of the housekeeper is kind-hearted, in the future, when they reach the marriageable age, they will find a good family to marry, if they meet the ruthless person of the house, I am afraid that it is good to be married to someone else as a concubine.

Wei Yuyan was really familiar with the Zhen'an Hou Mansion, and took them around a few corridors and pavilions before arriving at the garden, where the flowers in the garden were blooming and fragrant.

"I heard that this is called Heyuan, this is the mansion of a prince of the previous dynasty, and he spent a lot of money to build this mansion at that time." Wei Yuyan explained to the two.

"You know a lot." Gu Yanxi smiled, she had also heard of this garden, although it was also beautiful, but it was still a little inferior to the courtyard of the Eighth Prince's house.

"Of course, Tian Xiyi and I are the second lady of Zhen'an Hou Mansion, we have known each other since we were children, and she invited me to play." Wei Yuyan said.

They walked all the way, but they still met many young masters of famous families. The Great Zhou was not feudal, on the contrary, it was relatively open between men and women.

The three of them brought a stone table, and happened to see several young men and girls talking about poetry and paintings. Wei Yuyan was also interested at the moment, and pulled the two of them to sit down and participated, Gu Yanxi was not interested in these, she listened lightly, and did not participate.
