Chapter 057: Banquet
"Let me ask, if the Son of Heaven and King Langlang have the heart to solicit you, what will Huan Che do?"
Huan Che this person cherishes talents, in the previous life, the heroes of the world were all taken by him in the Xifu, the people's aspirations, the expectations of the people, everything he did did did for his father to usurp the throne to do the most powerful support, if it were not for the Wang's door valve and the Xie family gate valve deliberately delayed, Huan Wen died of illness in old age, and when his father was alive, Huan's usurpation of the throne was just around the corner.
After Huan Wen's death, the Huan clan gate valve was hit hard by the forces of several gate valves, and its reputation was also affected, Huan Che did not rush to usurp the throne, not to mention that his father plotted to abolish the throne first, he needed to be more cautious.
But if it is a talent who can't get it, Huan Che will definitely not let him fall into the hands of others, just as he said in his previous life: "All the heroes in the world are in my hands, and those who don't care about me would rather destroy them!" ”
After saying goodbye to Xie Qilang, Gu Yu was thinking about this sentence all the way, and put himself in Huan Che's shoes to think about it, if he really wanted to recruit her, and at the same time, the Son of Heaven and King Langya were recruited first, what would he do?
Thinking of this, Gu Yu's heart couldn't help but chill, and her steps involuntarily sped up, Shiqin and Shihua trotted to keep up with her footsteps, and after a while, they arrived in front of Yixin Hall, but there was silence in the hall, not like a distinguished guest coming.
Gu Yu was strange, an old woman in a stone blue skirt walked over to her, and it was Zhou Yu.
I saw Zhou Yu looking her up and down, her eyes first flashed with admiration, and when her eyes fell back on the top of her head, she showed a little dissatisfaction, but she also scolded with a smile: "The lady is now also a famous lady in Wu County in my Gu Mansion, why is she still dressed so plainly?" After that, he turned to Shiqin and Shihua, and reprimanded, "How do you serve the lady?" ”
At this time, Gu Yu stepped forward, stopped the two maidservants behind him, and intercepted: "There is a saying that in his position, he seeks his own government, but Ah Yu doesn't know when it will be the turn of the maid next to him to reprimand Zhou Yu!" Such a transgressive thing, but it was also taught by the old lady? ”
Zhou Yu's face turned dark, and she continued, "Grandfather once said that good jade is not sharp, it is exactly what the scholars respect, if I dress up in a fancy way and are vulgar, wouldn't it be a shame for the Gu family?" Even the maidservants around me remember my grandfather's teachings, which shows that Concubine Zhou did not take her grandfather's words to heart! ”
At this time, Zhou Yu's face turned pale with horror, her lips trembled with anger, and she almost wanted to scold, but today's Eleven Niang is not the unruly concubine who let her beat her at will, and even the old lady is now eager to build a temple and offer her as a Buddha, and she has a few dogs who dare to lose her temper at her.
So after enduring it for a while, she had no choice but to bow her head and whisper in a trembling tone: "Eleven Niang's lesson is that the old slave is in a hurry and has exceeded the rules!" ”
"Where is Grandfather now?" Gu Yu asked again.
Zhou Yu then remembered the purpose of her coming, and hurriedly replied: "The old man has set up a banquet in the north courtyard of the manor, and all the healthy scholars, as well as the Langjun of Wu County, have been invited, and they all gather in my Gu Mansion, and the old man has specially ordered, Eleven Niang can go to the banquet!" ”
It was actually invited to the healthy scholars and the Langjun of the land of Wu County, what is my grandfather going to do? Do you still want her to choose a suitable one among so many young talents?
Thinking about it, Gu Yu couldn't help laughing, nodded, and walked towards the north courtyard of Gu's manor, this time Zhou Yu followed him respectfully, but after a few people left, no one found that in a small bamboo forest outside Yixin Hall, there was a pair of eyes that had been smiling at everything here, the young man Sven was handsome, slightly raised the corners of his lips, and the overflowing smile was as warm as a spring breeze.
"Your Highness, have you seen enough?" A guard dressed as a small servant stood aside and said with a playful smile.
The young man bent his finger and tapped the top of his head fiercely, and replied, "I haven't seen enough, who told you to talk and disturb me!" ”
"That's a slave, isn't it, the slave makes amends to His Highness, but hasn't that sister-in-law already gone away?" The guard said, "In my opinion, if Your Highness likes it, I will ask Your Majesty to give you an edict to take that sister-in-law away!" ”
Before his words fell, the young man shouted in a low voice: "Shut your mouth!" Don't mention this matter again in the future, you are trapping my royal brother in injustice! ”
The guard immediately made a panicked expression, and muttered in confusion: "How can this matter be an injustice for Your Majesty?" ”
However, the young man did not answer, but strode forward and walked straight towards the north courtyard of the Gu family's manor.
There is the gathering place of the sages, the head of the Gu family specially asked people to build a tea shed in this open space, a huge silk screen is placed in the middle, separating Lang Jun from his sisters-in-law, and this place can be described as a beautiful place with quiet mountains and rivers and beautiful scenery.
A large area of the garden is close to the mountains and rivers, in the meantime, the pavilions and pavilions, the height is scattered, there are more ponds and marshes and blue waves, they reflect each other, dig the lake and open the pond in the garden, lead the living water in, form a huge blue lake, like a pearl in the green mountains on both sides of the river, there is also the delicate painting boat Lingbo on it.
Those who saw it were all amazed, and some even compared the garden here to the Golden Valley Garden of Shi Chong.
The Jiangnan scholars in the capital are all rich, but they never expected to be so rich, which is undoubtedly an economic blow to the scholars who moved from the north.
If you talk about the family Qingwang, the tired officials in the court and the high position, the overseas Chinese surnamed Wang clan from the north will inevitably defeat these Wu sergeant clans, but if you really talk about the strong background of family wealth, they are far inferior to these Wu sergeant clans, who are known as the first-class gate lord clans.
Wang Wulang couldn't help but sigh again and again: "Wuzhong is rich, it's really a bit beyond people's imagination!" ”
As soon as he finished sighing, Lu Cheng walked over with a jade Ruyi, and sneered: "I'm afraid that this wealth is not only one part of the Gu family, I heard that when Wu Xing Shen married a daughter, although she was a noble concubine, but the ten miles of dowry was also sighed by everyone in Wu County, and some people also said that the dowry on the bright side was only the tip of the iceberg, and no one knew how much the dowry really followed the Shen family into the Gu family." ”
As soon as he said this, Wang Wulang's eyebrows were furrowed, thoughtful, and slightly displeased, Lu Cheng mentioned Wuxing Shen from time to time, didn't he deliberately let him remember Wang Dun's judgment back then, and this matter was a great shame for the Langya Wang family.
Wang Wulang smiled and did not answer, but swept his gaze to the place of the silk screen, and it happened that a girl wearing a purple silk and emerald pattern skirt and a flying fairy bun on her head walked out from behind the screen, holding a jade pot in her hand, with elegant demeanor and a leisurely attitude.
The girl seemed to feel his gaze, turned her head to the side, and threw a smile at him, which was very gentle and amiable, and Yan Li bloomed.
"What a Bingqing Yuying, dignified and elegant beauty, it seems that there is not only one Gu Shiniang in the Gu family in Wuzhong, but also many beauties to appreciate!"
Wang Wulang has always been dissolute and uninhibited, and he has no scruples when he speaks, as soon as he says this, Lu Cheng also turned his eyes to the beauty curiously, and when Lu Cheng smiled at the corner of his mouth, Wang Wulang's face changed, and he turned to leave.
Over there, the Son of Heaven and the King of Langya also happened to be seated, and the huge tea shed was full of guests, all of them were brightly dressed and shoeed, the clogs were dragging, and the banquet was smiling and laughing, and the beautiful scenery and beauty were in contrast to each other!
When Gu Yu was about to step into the north courtyard, a white shadow flashed over, pulling her to a nearby peach forest, she looked up and saw that it was Zhang Shishilang, and at this time, Zhang Shishilang did not have the usual playful smile on his face, but looked at her anxiously, his face was a little tired and haggard.
"What's wrong with you? Twelve? Gu Yu couldn't help but ask in surprise.
Zhang Shishilang lowered his voice and asked in her ear: "Ah Yu, tell me the truth, the person you want to kill, the big man you are talking about, is the Huan Lang Jun Huan Che who is famous for his qin music on Yuquan Mountain?" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Yu reached out to cover his mouth, and when he looked back, he happened to see a silhouette in a soft silk dress flashing behind a peach tree.
"It's Shi Niang!" Zhang Shishilang said, his eyes showing shame, "Ah Yu, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked you in such a hurry." ”
"It's okay, I didn't say anything, let alone so far away, she can't hear it!"
Gu Yu said with a smile, as if he remembered something, looked at Zhang Shishilang, and asked: "Twelvelang, Ah Yu also has something I want to ask you, when Shi Niang and I fell into the water that day, did you send a letter to Shi Niang, did you ask her to meet alone by the Jinlan Pond?" ”
Zhang Shishilang laughed, couldn't help pinching Gu Yu's delicate nose, and said, "Eleven Niang, aren't you jealous?" How could I send a private message to Shi Niang and ask her to meet her alone by the Jinlan Pond? Shi Niang has a gentle temperament, but it seems that there is nothing to say between me and me, right? ”
"But why do you ask? Did someone tell you that I had asked her to meet her alone by the Brocade Scales Pond? ”
Zhang Shishilang said this, Gu Yu's face sank, there was no such thing, but why did Shi Niang say that, knowing that this lie would be exposed as soon as it was dismantled, and still telling this lie, is it necessary?
"Eleven Niang, what's wrong with you? How do I feel that you are deep in your mind now, not at all like the eleventh mother in the past! Zhang Shishilang said again.
Gu Yu smiled and didn't answer, but turned to say, "Okay, let's go in too!" I practiced the words all night last night, it must have been very hard, so let's relax today! ”
"How do you know I've been practicing calligraphy all night?" Zhang Shishilang asked in surprise.
"Just think about it with your brain, I dug such a big hole for you, you have to fill it with your own ability!" Gu Yu said with a smile.
Zhang Shishilang suddenly felt that she couldn't cry or laugh, she also knew that she had dug a big pit for him, this pit was not only big, it simply made him miserable! However, this is the first time I have heard of the word digging pit, and it is quite appropriate to use it, thinking about it this way, the surprise and admiration for Gu Yu in my heart has risen a point.
I don't know what kind of brain this eleven niang is, what are you thinking about usually?
Thinking of this, Zhang Shishilang's expression darkened again, looked at Gu Yu's back walking forward, and suddenly asked: "Ah Yu, you really don't want to marry me, even if it's the identity of the main wife, you don't want to?" ”
