Chapter 878: Each Has His Preparations
The Gu family of Yongning Houfu, although the family road is a little down now, but in the end it is still the home of Houmen, the so-called skinny camel is bigger than a horse, these years, with the face of the Hou Mansion in the past, it finally maintains a little scenery, and the banquet under the New Year, the major families in Beijing, how much still have to give the Gu family this face.
Except for those whose status is too noble, almost everyone who received the post came to the banquet.
However, in previous years, the Gu family held banquets, such as the right minister, the left minister, Lin Ge and other people's old families, most of them let the younger generations come to the banquet, and several of them were higher than the Yongning Hou Gu Lin in terms of generation, not to mention that the official position was so much higher than Gu Lin, so Gu Lin did not dare to expect these people to come.
However, this year, these people don't know whether it was discussed or what, except for Lin Ge, who has not gone out to the banquet for a long time because he is too old, the rest of them have all come in person, including Wen Guogong, who didn't dare to think much about it in previous years, also came in person, and did not only send his second son here.
Gu Lin has never fallen from the beginning of greeting guests in the morning, and the corners of his mouth have never fallen, and anyone who sees it knows that this is the time for the spring breeze to be proud.
Where did Gu Lin have such a big face in previous years, everyone knows whose face these people are looking at this year.
However, what they didn't know was that these people really didn't just come for Lu Zheng's face, but for An Sheng.
Several of them have more or less been helped by An Sheng, although these things are unknown to outsiders, but they themselves remember in their hearts, now that the Gu family is holding a banquet, they are naturally coming, even if they can't repay An Sheng's kindness, but they should come.
Especially the right prime minister's family, they came with a generous gift.
If it weren't for An Sheng's timely help, Du Yiheng's life, I'm afraid it would have been explained, this kindness, the Du family said that it was unforgettable, and it was never too much.
However, Gu Lin didn't know these things, and the others didn't know either, so they all only came as right ministers and others, for Gu Lin's face, or perhaps more accurately, for Gu Lin's future son-in-law, Lu Zheng's face.
Of course, there are reasons for this, and Gu Lin himself understands this.
However, people have received a lot of compliments, and they can't help but get a little forgetful, they have heard too many good things since this morning, and no matter how clear Gu Lin's heart is, he can't help but be a little proud at this moment.
It is rare to let so many nobles come to the banquet together.
Gu Lin couldn't even help but think that after the New Year's Festival, his official position might be promoted, and the situation that had been stagnant for so many years was finally about to be broken.
As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't help but secretly rejoice.
If Gu Lin knew, the joy in front of him would turn into a flashy bubble in the future, and he didn't know if he could laugh or not.
......
The male guests are lively there, and the female relatives are not far behind.
Today has become the absolute home of the Fang family and Gu Ningwei's mother and daughter, no matter what happens to the Gu family behind closed doors, in such an occasion, the Xu family will do everything to help the mother and daughter put on their faces.
Because the Xu family understands that as long as the Fang family is still Mrs. Yongning Hou for one day, then outside, the Fang family represents the face of the Gu family, and as the only concubine of the Hou Mansion, she will participate in the general election in the palace after the year, and Gu Ningwei, who has high hopes for the Xu family, will show in front of outsiders that only the absolute family lady has the upbringing and demeanor.
Therefore, the Xu family asked the Fang family to host the banquet matters, and let the Shen family and the Song family assist, and among the several girls, they only brought Gu Ningwei and An Sheng by their side, showing that they valued these two girls.
Outsiders didn't understand the true meaning, but they didn't think Xu's move was strange.
One is the concubine of the Hou Mansion, and the other is the future Duchess of the Protector, it is normal for these two girls to be valued by the Xu family.
Gu Anya stayed in the crowd, looking at Gu Ningwei and An Sheng standing behind the Xu family, a cold glint flashed in her eyes, and her nails were pinched into her palms hard.
She secretly warned herself, don't worry, after today, even if she can't get it, Gu Ningwei can't think about it.
As for An Sheng...... Although it seems that An Sheng has nothing to do with her now, but An Sheng's good life really makes people can't help but be jealous, she is also an ordinary person, and she is naturally jealous, so she can only say sorry to An Sheng, she didn't want to make a move on An Sheng.
However, who called An Sheng, who was originally more pitiful than her, suddenly no longer pitiful, so all this can only be blamed, who would have thought that An Sheng would come back from that kind of place, but he could get into such a situation now?!
The clothes in the house are fragrant and the sideburns are shadowed, the smiles are cheerful, the pearls are green, and the cold wind is outside, just like Gu Anya's state of mind at the moment.
She knew that when things got here, there was no turning back.
At this moment, Shen and Song came and told Xu that the banquet was set up, and Xu and the others were invited to move to the banquet hall.
When Xu heard this, he stood up with a smile and beckoned everyone to move to the banquet hall together.
An Sheng and Gu Ningwei supported Xu's left and right, and walked at the front of the crowd with Xu's, as if they were overshadowed by the stars.
Gu Ningwei's head was high, her face was full of pride, and her delicately decorated face was even more gorgeous and compelling.
An Sheng lowered his eyelids slightly, but in fact, his gaze swept from the crowd, and he just saw Gu Anya and the Song family across the crowd, nodded slightly, and his eyes touched the score.
It seems that everyone is ready.
An Sheng retracted his gaze, continued to lower his eyes, and helped Xu Shi to walk out step by step.
……
Soon, everyone came to the banquet room.
The Gu family also made a bloody investment for this banquet, and this banquet hall was ordered by the Xu family to re-expand and decorate, and now it is new and well-decorated, and it has won praise from everyone.
Regardless of whether it is true or false, Xu is always happy to hear this, and it can be regarded as his own hard work has not been in vain, and all those silver have not been spent in vain.
As soon as he thought of this, Xu's feeling of pain at that time was alleviated a lot.
She secretly said to herself, it's all worth it, and without investment, where will you get it.
The Gu family will take back all the things that have been invested now in the future.
As long as the two sons are prosperous, are you afraid that the silver will not roll into your arms!
Because the banquet hall has been renovated, the place is huge, and the Xu family also learned from the Lu family to put the male and female guests in one place, but their house is not so big a drama garden, so they divided the inside and outside of the banquet living room, the female guests inside, and the male guests outside, so it is lively and not the rules and etiquette.
When the guests arrived in the banquet room, Fang Shi and the others hurriedly instructed the maid to serve the food.
One after another delicacies were served, and after a while, the sound of persuasion of wine sounded in the banquet room.
