The sound of silk and bamboo is in the ears, the sound of conversation and laughter is constant, and the huge banquet hall can be said to be extremely lively.

However, due to the banquets of various families under the New Year's Festival, everyone ate a stomach of delicacies from the mountains and seas, in fact, they couldn't eat it for a long time, so they moved a few chopsticks, and they were mostly saying congratulations or chatting.

Because of the constant laughter, the atmosphere was not cold, and Gu Lin must have known that the guests had no appetite for food, so he arranged singing and dancing to cheer up.

After a dance, Gu Lin got up, raised his glass to the guests, and said with a smile: "Thank you for not giving up, come to my Gu family for a banquet today, Gu is very honored, this cup of wine, Gu respects you, I hope that my Nanzhao will still be Haiqing River Yan this year and even in the future, prosperous and clear; May Your Majesty be blessed with heaven and blessings; I also wish you all the best in your official fortune, and your family will be happy and healthy, this is a small wish of Gu, and I am willing to encourage you together! ”

Although many people scoffed at his words, they had to echo it loudly on the surface, saying that his words were very good and reasonable.

Gu Lin has not received so much attention since he became an official, and after a glass of wine, his face couldn't help but be slightly red, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows showed a little drunkenness, which showed that he was not light.

The bustle outside spread into the room, and Xu knew that his son was in the limelight, and he was also happy, and the smile on his face never stopped.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside the banquet hall.

The sound was not loud, but when a woman cried out loudly, the voice became somewhat noticeable.

There was silence in the room for a moment.

Gu Lin's face changed instantly, and he hurriedly glanced at Gu Xinhai who was guarding the door, and motioned for him to hurry out and have a look.

Gu Xinhai received Gu Lin's eyes, and hurriedly ran out, and Gu Lin picked up his wine glass again to persuade him to drink.

All the guests actually knew that something was going on in the Gu family, but they were all men, and few of them would stick their eyes to the inner house, so even if they knew that something might have happened to Gu Lin's family, they all pretended not to know.

Women crying and shouting and pestering, most of them are private matters in the inner house, which is really common in big families, so everyone is not too curious.

But this is what the men think, but the women in the room don't think so.

You must know that they are all the wives of the heads of each family, and the most knowledgeable ones are the inner houses, so they are naturally curious about what is going on outside.

However, no one is stupid enough to really inquire about this, isn't that a slap in the face of the Gu family, they are all face-saving people, and they will never do such a thing.

Therefore, the female guests only secretly exchanged a few glances, but did not inquire more.

Xu's face changed for a moment, and he secretly glared at Fang's family, Fang's heart also sighed, he didn't know what was going on, he thought about it, and then excused himself and said, there was still a sweet soup on the table, she went to the kitchen to urge it, let everyone take care of themselves, don't be polite.

In fact, everyone knows what she wants to do, but no one breaks it.

Seeing through it or not saying it, it is the philosophy of these ladies.

But the ladies were calm, but the ladies were a little uncomposed, no, there was Xu Ying, the second lady of the Xu family, who had always been on bad terms with Gu Ningwei and had a personal vendetta, and deliberately asked Gu Ningwei: "That's a woman's cry, does Miss Gu know what's going on?" ”

She asked so directly, Gu Ningwei's face was of course not good-looking, if she hadn't remembered the explanations of the Xu family and the Fang family, she would have splashed the fruit brew in her hand on Xu Ying's face at this time.

Why is this nasty thing everywhere!

scolded Xu Ying back and forth in her heart, but Gu Ningwei still smirked on her face: "Sister Xu asked this, I really don't know how to answer, I didn't hear any crying, what does Sister Xu mean by asking?" ”

Gu Ningwei actually doesn't have no brains at all, it's just that her little caution is not enough in front of really smart people, but for a girl like Xu Ying, who is about the same age as her and has the same flamboyant temperament, it is still somewhat useful.

Xu Ying was indeed deliberately provoking Gu Ningwei, but Gu Ningwei didn't accept the offer, she couldn't force her to ask, so she had to fake a smile when she heard the words, and said, "Since Sister Gu said that she didn't hear it, what can I say, maybe I heard it wrong." ”

In fact, Xu Ying heard it right, everyone understands it in their hearts.

The cry was so real, they heard it all over the hall on the male side, how could it be wrong?

It's just that, just like Xu Ying said, Gu Ningwei didn't admit it, could they still force them to ask, whether this was a guest at the Gu family, it was always too ugly to do it, and they lost their identities, and then let people say that they were uneducated, but the gains outweighed the losses.

Because there are taboos, this matter is over.

Which Cheng thought about it, just after revealing it like this, he heard another commotion outside, and there were a few shouts and scolding.

This voice is somewhat familiar, and those with sharp ears have already heard it, it is the voice of Yongning Hou's wife Fang.

At this moment, it was impossible to pretend to be fake, and the Gu family's faces changed in unison.

Then, before Xu could react, the noise was already louder again, and Xu couldn't sit still anymore, so he hurriedly walked out of the room.

As soon as I went out, I saw a woman who looked embarrassed and quite crazy, struggling under the suppression of several family members.

Xu Shi was so angry that his hands trembled, "Bastard, what day is it, you call this crazy woman in, and you are not afraid of disturbing the distinguished guests, and you don't want to drag people down quickly!" ”

A few family members also thought about it, but this woman didn't know what was going on, her strength was amazing, and she struggled, they didn't hold down people for a while, so they let people run into the banquet hall, and when they heard Xu's reprimand, several family members were all pale, knowing that they were afraid that they were going to be unlucky, and they were busy and worked together to pull the woman.

Who knew that the woman was shouting at Xu and Gu Lin at this time: "Old lady, Lord Hou helps!" ”

Xu's eyelids jumped fiercely, his intuition was not good, and then he heard the woman cry: "Ask the old lady to be merciful, let the eldest lady let our mother and daughter live!" The slave and maid kowtow to you here, the eldest lady, the eldest lady please let go of the maid's daughter, the slave and the maid really won't say anything, the slave and the maid swear, never tell others what you have done, please give the slave and the maid a way out! ”

Gu Ningwei, who was behind Xu and hurriedly followed, heard this, her eyes widened in disbelief, and she pointed at the woman and shouted, "Why are you here!" ”

As soon as Gu Ningwei shouted these words, Xu secretly said that it was not good, and sure enough, there was immediately a discussion around him.

Xu's eyes suddenly turned black, and he almost fainted.
