A white but thick hand reached out in front of her, holding a red brocade forging box, which looked very delicate, which made people wonder what valuable things were contained in the box.

The second uncle has always been generous, but in the past, he only treated the concubines in the house, at this moment, his own daughter Gu Wuniang held a pair of brocade shoes woven with gold and red silk in her hands, Gu Qi Niang held a gilt dot cui in her hand, and Gu Shi Niang held a gold silk hollow flower sachet in her hand, and even Gu Shi Niang, who came out of the house, also got a golden hairpin inlaid with white jade and jade.

However, then again, the second uncle has always doted on Shi Niang's biological mother, Aunt Zhou, and his preference for her is also well known in the house, but for Gu Yu, a concubine who has never been valued, the second uncle has also prepared a gift, which has to be surprising and jealous.

Gu Sanniang even twisted the sachet in her hand with both hands and bit her lower lip fiercely.

In the eyes of everyone, Gu Yu was calm, staring at the brocade box in Gu Min's hand thoughtfully, she looked up at the suave and gentle second uncle in front of her, and what she saw was not a gentle smile in his eyes, but a large red bloom from behind him like a hell flower......

What is that?

Gu Yu suddenly felt endless sadness in her heart, she slowly covered her hand on the brocade box, but reflexively suddenly withdrew it, and once again cast her eyes on Gu Min's face.

The smile on Gu Min's face was a flicker, and he asked in a deep voice, "What's wrong?" Eleven mother? ”

Old Madam Gu couldn't help frowning, put aside a freshly brewed tea cup in her hand, stood up, and asked loudly, "What's wrong?" Eleven Niang, this is a gift brought back from your second uncle from health, if you have a share, you can accept it! What are you still doing? ”

Gu Yu's heart sank, and she set her eyes on Old Madam Gu again, and at this time, she noticed that there was a flash of nervousness on the face of Zhou Yu beside the old lady.

"Grandmother, the second uncle's gift is too heavy, Ah Yu is just a concubine, and she doesn't dare to give it to her humble position!" Gu Yu replied.

When Mrs. Gu heard this, she was unhappy and put her cane on her crutches, and said sharply: "Give it to you, you will accept it, why don't you dare to give it!" My Gu family girl, don't learn those twisted attitudes! ”

In Mrs. Gu's heart, Gu Yu is to be cultivated as a lady in the palace, naturally she can't learn to be such a little daughter, you must know that when today's son comes from the north, what she likes must be as sparse and expansive as a girl from the northern scholars.

The old lady spoke, and Gu Yu had no reason to excuse herself, so she had to take the brocade box in Gu Min's hand and said, "Thank you, second uncle!" ”

Seeing Gu Yu accept the brocade box, Gu Min couldn't help but grin the corners of his lips and laughed loudly.

"The girls of our Gu family are all extraordinary, Hui Xinlan quality, thanks to my mother's careful cultivation!" As he spoke, he waved his big sleeves, walked in front of Old Madam Gu, and bowed respectfully.

He did a great salute.

Seeing that her son was so well-behaved and humorous, Old Madam Gu couldn't help but pretend to chatter with a blank look, and then laughed again.

"You! It's such a big person, and he still looks like a child, and he has no rules. ”

"Mother's words are wrong, my mother has ever heard, 'Wang Wendu on his lap', that is, Wang Wendu, who is alone in Jiangdong, is still held on his father's lap when he becomes an adult, and in the eyes of his mother, a child will always be a child." Gu Min answered, with a calm smile on his face, he didn't care about losing his majesty in front of his juniors, but from the perspective of famous doctrines, this is also a natural and unpretentious celebrity demeanor.

"Okay, always a child!" Old Madam Gu laughed happily, but this laughter didn't last long, and it froze because of one person.

Gu Yu followed her gaze to the door, and saw a man in a cyan straight coat walking in, this person was only forty years old, but he was born with white skin like a woman, eyebrows like ink paintings, eyes like spring, and no traces of time on his face.

This person is Gu Yu's biological father Gu Yue.

Gu Yu remembered that when his father was young, he also worked as a subordinate official who wrote documents under Situ Wang Dao with his amazing talent, and later because of Wang Dun's judgment, although the Langya Wang family did a righteous act of killing relatives, it was inevitably affected by it, plus the Son of Heaven was afraid of the Wang family, after Wang Dao's death, his father also walked out of the Langya Wang family, and he has never entered the office, and now it seems that he is only a white dress.

It stands to reason that the emperor loves the eldest son, the people love the eldest son, and Gu Yue should have been the most proud son in Mrs. Gu's heart, but I don't know what happened later, which made Mrs. Gu so angry and angry with this son, so that now that they meet, they don't have a good face to see.

When Gu Yue came in, he saw Gu Yu standing in the hall, he paused slightly, and a trace of surprise and unclear gloom flashed in his expression, and then he lowered his eyes, Shi Shiran walked up to Old Madam Gu and saluted: "Mother-"

In his soft call, the Yixin Hall, which was originally happy and laughing, suddenly condensed like ice pouring in.

Old Madam Gu also said angrily: "Do you still know to come back?" ”

Her scolding didn't make Gu Yue's expression change much, but Gu Min beside him laughed, as if he had relieved the siege: "Mother, don't blame the third brother first, guess what, who is the third brother serving under now?" ”

"Who else can he serve, doesn't he learn from those celebrities, travel the mountains and rivers every day, and travel with prostitutes?" The old lady said angrily, looking like she felt a headache when she looked at it more.

Gu Min laughed out loud: "Traveling with prostitutes and indulging in landscapes is also a mercenary and open-minded move, but, mother, you are wrong to blame the third brother this time, a few years ago, the third brother had already obtained the exemption of the second grade of the county, and now he has been recruited by Xi to join the army as a subordinate officer!" ”

"Xi joins the army?" Hearing these three words, Old Madam Gu's eyes lit up, and she was stunned for a moment, and then asked in disbelief, "Isn't it the Xi of Shengde's peerless guests to join the army?" ”

Seeing the surprise in his mother's eyes, Gu Min immediately laughed again: "Yes, even my mother has heard of her great name, Shengde's peerless Xi guest, Jiangdong Dubu Wang Wendu, is Xi Chao, the grandson of Taiwei Xi." ”

After receiving confirmation from her son's mouth, the joy in Old Madam Gu's eyes immediately spread.

Gu Yu was also shocked when he heard this, who is Xi Chao, who is known as "Zhuo Ju is unruly, has the degree of the world", his people are widely acquainted with Shilin, good at talking, and not like other celebrities and gentlemen, as a "non-action" theory, is the first great strategist under Huan Wen, if it were not for his help, Huan Wen would not have grown from an unknown person to a powerful minister of the Eastern Jin Dynasty like Wang Dun.

But how could his father be valued by Xi Chao? In her previous life, she had never heard that her father had entered Huanwen's Xifu.

Gu Yu thought in her heart, and unconsciously glanced up at her father, but saw that her father's gaze seemed to be intentionally or unintentionally cast towards her, and there was some worry in his expression and the meaning was unclear.

Mrs. Gu was overjoyed, and she no longer looked at her father coldly, but said a few warm words, and began to order people to set up a family banquet, saying that it is rare for the family to get together, and they have to have a good meal.

The little ladies in the hall happily sat in their own positions, and Gu Yu also got up and sat in an inconspicuous corner at the very end.

Soon, some delicate snacks, melons and fruits, vegetables, and tea were placed on the table in an orderly manner like flowing water.

Gu Yu watched these handmaidens with fluttering clothes, like walking ladies and streams in, and out.

When she was in a trance, a pair of slender hands held a lotus pattern carved lacquer and gold plate in front of her, under the wide sleeves, the wrists were like snow, and there seemed to be a little red looming, the maid opened the lacquerware, and Gu Yu saw that there were two milky white translucent cakes placed on the plate, and a plum blossom was pasted on it, which was very good-looking.

Gu Yu glanced up at the maid who was arranging the plate in front of her, but seeing that this made the girl extraordinarily beautiful, and there was a red beauty mole on her eyebrows, she asked:

"What's your name?"

The maid looked up at her, as if she were particularly shy, and replied, "Slave name, Yiren! ”

"The leaves are pale, the white dew is frost, the so-called Yi people, on the water side! Nice name! Man is also born beautiful! Gu Yu praised it.

The maid smiled shyly and said, "Eleven Niang praises!" ”

got up and was about to retreat, but then he heard Gu Yu suddenly ask:

"You're just a handmaiden in the kitchen, aren't you?" She said, and smiled again, "How do you know that I am Eleven Niang?" ”

The maid suddenly seemed to be frightened, her face was discolored, and with a shake of her hand, she actually overturned the cup of tea in front of Gu Yu.

There was a "bang" sound, which immediately alarmed everyone in the hall.

Old Madam Gu frowned and looked over here, and saw that it was Gu Yu who had knocked over the teacup on the table, so she asked, "What's the matter?" Eleven mother? ”

Gu Yu stood up, stretched out his hand and pointed to the maid who was kneeling in front of her, and said, "Grandmother, she wants to kill me!" ”
