Chapter 1058: Preparedness
Gu Ningwei suddenly set up a banquet to invite Xu Ying, to put it bluntly, there was no good banquet.
said that he wanted to have a good relationship with Xu Ying before he married into the palace, An Sheng felt that it was pure nonsense.
These two people had such an ugly quarrel before, almost to the point of life and death, friends?
Inexistent.
If it was Gu Anya, she would still believe it, after all, Gu Anya is a person who can bend and stretch.
Can Gu Ningwei?
When pigs fly!
As for Gu Ningwei's temper, if she can learn to endure humiliation and bear weights, and can bend and stretch, then the sow will probably be able to go up the tree.
Therefore, at this banquet today, Gu Ningwei must not be well-intentioned.
It's just that An Sheng doesn't know what Gu Ningwei wants to do now.
But one thing is almost certain, Gu Ningwei has to pull them out to accompany the guests, definitely not to show that she attaches importance to Xu Ying, the guest, most likely to wait for the incident to come out and carry the pot.
But what An Sheng doesn't like the most is to carry the pot.
Therefore, she was so late before, not only to let Gu Ningwei know, but she was not forced to do it if she wanted to.
She gave Xu face, but she didn't want others to say that she was not filial, after all, Nanzhao ruled the country with filial piety, a filial piety word, if necessary, it can crush people to death, she and Xu have not yet reached the point of life and death, and they can't make too much trouble with Xu for such a trivial matter.
Can Gu Ningwei ...... Hmph, as long as there is the Fang clan in the middle of them, she and Gu Ningwei will not be able to talk about any affection!
Gu Ningwei wanted her to take the blame for her, and she also had to weigh whether she had that weight and ability.
Xu Ying also seemed to be very wary of Gu Ningwei, she didn't drink tea or snacks, she just pulled Gu Anya and Gu Ling to talk, and from time to time, she also said a word or two to An Sheng.
However, seeing that An Sheng was reluctant to talk, he gradually stopped talking to her, and only chatted with Gu Anya.
But as far as An Sheng is concerned, Gu Anya doesn't like to talk to Xu Ying much either.
After all, with Gu Ningwei on the sidelines, Gu Anya also has to be scrupulous.
After talking for a long time, Xu Ying's mouth was a little dry, but she still refused to drink tea, but said to Gu Ningwei: "I like to drink white water these days, I don't know if my sister can enjoy a glass of white water." ”
Xu Ying used the word reward, which inevitably made people feel a little uncomfortable.
She is a guest, Gu Ningwei, as the host, how can she not even give a glass of white water to the guests?
However, if I didn't drink the fragrant tea, I wanted to drink white water, saying that Xu Ying didn't mean it, I felt a little panicked.
On weekdays, Gu Ningwei would most likely be angry, but today is a small banquet she is going to hold, and she naturally can't get angry unless she has to.
Besides, Xu Ying just wants a glass of water, if she doesn't give it, isn't it too harsh, and she doesn't know how to be hospitable?
Therefore, Gu Ningwei waved her hand at the maid below and ordered: "My sister wants to drink white water, that's not too much, come on, change a glass of white water for Miss Xu Er." ”
It's just that when her voice fell, she heard Xu Ying say again: "Wait." ”
Gu Ningwei raised her eyebrows, looked at Xu Ying, and seemed to ask, what's wrong?
Xu Ying smiled, very polite, "Please ask my sister for forgiveness first, what about me, there is a problem, this drink white water, since only a specific hot and cold drink, so only my personal maid knows, how cold and hot water should be served to me, therefore, please let my sister let my girl go with me, sister, this can be made?" ”
Xu Ying's words can probably be said in another way, I don't believe you, I have to see my girl with my own eyes before I can drink your water.
This is to make it clear that she doesn't trust Gu Ningwei, nor does she trust the people around Gu Ningwei.
Gu Ningwei's face suddenly became more ugly.
The atmosphere was a little stiff for a while, and the flower hall was quiet.
At this time, I heard Gu Anya suddenly smile and said: "Big sister, Sister Xu is a guest, doesn't the big sister always teach us every day, do you have to be sincere in hospitality, since Sister Xu has this habit, then ...... We should also respect Sister Xu, big sister, you say yes. ”
As she spoke, Gu Anya smiled at Gu Ningwei with some flattery.
In addition to smiling, he also turned his back to Xu Ying sideways, and secretly glanced at Gu Ningwei.
An Sheng looked funny, lowered his head and sipped tea silently.
Then, I listened to Gu Ningwei respond: "I, as a person, hospitality is sincere and sincere, since Miss Xu Er has this habit, then Baozhu, you personally take Miss Xu Er's girl over, be sure to prepare the water for Miss Xu Er, which can be entered." ”
An Sheng listened to Gu Ningwei's gentle grinding of her teeth, and almost felt that she really wanted to give Xu Ying some medicine in the water, and a handful of medicine directly poisoned Xu Ying.
However, Gu Ningwei shouldn't be so stupid.
If Xu Yingruo died in the Yongning Hou Mansion, the Yongning Hou Mansion, including Gu Ningwei, would have to go around without eating.
If she gets into a murder case, Gu Ningwei's family affairs will have to be stopped, so she won't do it.
But if she doesn't take the drug, what will she do?
Or rather, a small feast, what can she do?
......
Xu Ying's personal maid followed the jewel to get water, and returned after a while.
Xu Ying finally drank the water, probably really dry mouth, and drank two large glasses in a row before putting it down.
After a while, the maid came over to report that it was time to have a banquet, and Gu Ningwei beckoned everyone to the table.
The banquet of today's small banquet is placed in the small pavilion under the osmanthus tree in the courtyard of the Moon Pavilion, next to the tree, there is a small pond dug by the water, in which a few lotus plants are planted, and some koi fish are raised, which is also very interesting.
In August, the golden cinnamon is fragrant, and the breeze and lotus noodles next to it do not feel hot and dry, but it is really a good place to hold a feast.
Everyone rushed in, sat down one after another, and the maids came in with food and wine.
Gu Ningwei sat in the main seat, Xu Ying was the first on her left, this was the position where the important guests were sitting, and Xu Ying should sit here.
As for whether she is willing to do this position, it is up to everyone.
And the first position on Gu Ningwei's right hand was given to Gu Anya by An Sheng.
Gu Anya said that she would not at first, but An Sheng went directly to sit in the next seat, and Gu Anya sat down.
After everyone was seated, Gu Ningwei asked the maid to pour wine, and introduced to Xu Ying: "This is the fruit brew made on our Zhuangzi, it is very delicious, and it doesn't hurt for Sister Xu to drink more, it's not intoxicating." ”
As he spoke, he motioned for Baozhu to go over and pour wine for Xu Ying.
But although Gu Ningwei said that this wine is not intoxicating, where is Xu Ying willing to drink at the Gu family?
Therefore, without waiting for the jewel to come, he refused: "I am really not good at drinking, and I ask my sister to forgive my sins." ”
Gu Ningwei was repeatedly rejected by Xu Ying, and couldn't help but feel a little angry, but she still tried her best to smile and said: "But a little fruit brew, how can it be considered wine?" My sister is too careful, right, how can I do it without a banquet? This is already a drink that I specially asked someone to prepare, it's really not intoxicating, is it that my sister won't give me this little face? ”
