Chapter 10: Outrageous Birthday
On the birthday of Gu Dixuan, the imperial capital came with the most exciting news in the past hundred years.
Gu Long led his Wolf Warrior Legion, seized the opportunity of the rebellion of the three major lords of the Heaven Dou Empire, and attacked the Heaven Dou Empire's Watch City across the Heavenly Soul Mountain Range five days ago, severely damaging the third and fifth legions of the Heaven Dou Empire.
With the occupation of Overwatch City, which has dragged down the empire for more than a hundred years, the long defense line of the Ayar steppe will lose the need for existence. Since then, Overwatch City and Aquila City have formed horns to guard the Heavenly Soul Mountain Pass, completely blocking the northern invasion of the Heaven Dou Empire and disrupting the strategic deployment of the entire northern part of the Heaven Dou Empire.
"The ancient dragons have performed outstanding feats, the southern frontier of the empire has been pacified, and there will be no more war in the Hersey steppe from now on. "The imperial capital, Yuwen Tuo Longyan Dayue in the palace.
"Gu Longsheng is the Marquis of Yipin, the general of Longwei, and leads the military and political affairs of Southern Xinjiang. As Emperor Yuwen Tuo's holy decree descended, the government and the opposition were shocked. Gu Aotian is in charge of the military department, and Gu Long is now in charge of the military and government of southern Xinjiang.
In the Gu family's mansion, Ran Anna, who was busy with her son's birthday, received the news of her husband's victory, rolled her eyes and smiled, and said to herself: "This time I just can't think of extravagance." ”
Splendid carpet, from the gate of the ancient family mansion to the far-reaching avenue. On both sides of the avenue are colorful lights, the side door of the mansion, and the servants are busy in and out.
Gu Aotian, who had returned from the spring breeze on his face, saw that there was such a big fanfare in the mansion, and hurriedly found Ran Anna and smiled bitterly: "I said, Anna." Are you celebrating Xuan'er's birthday? Those who don't know may think that the Gujiafu is marrying a daughter-in-law for Xuan'er. ”
Ran Anna wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead, and while giving orders to the servants, she said, "Father, you must know the news of Gu Long's victory and the emperor's sealing." ”
Gu Aotian said angrily: "I just came back from the Qinzheng Palace, of course I know." ”
"That's it, I'm doing this to take advantage of Xuan'er's birthday to give the Manchu Dynasty civil and military a chance to say goodbye. Let Xuan'er take care of his father's light. ”
A red-faced maid with a busy face came over, and after saluting Gu Aotian, she said to Ran Anna: "Madam, according to your orders, three warehouses have been vacated in the mansion for standby. ”
Gu Aotian's hand that had been holding his beard trembled, and he almost pulled off a strand of white beard, "Anna, what are you doing in the warehouse?"
"Father, I'm afraid Xuan'er will receive a lot of gifts today, and I'm afraid the three warehouses are not enough. Maybe His Majesty the Emperor will send gifts, and your gift to Xuan'er is ready. ”
Gu Aotian hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, I'll go and prepare a gift for Xuan'er." After saying that, he hurriedly walked out of the main hall, he didn't dare to stay any longer, otherwise he didn't know what to be trapped in this clever daughter-in-law's words.
In the courtyard, the ancient emperor Xuan, who was at the mercy of the maid with a thousand tricks, moaned weakly, "It's not good yet, I've tried more than 20 sets, it's just a birthday." ”
"Fourth young master, the little maids don't dare to call the shots. Every time you change your set, standing in front of the magic crystal ball, Madame is not satisfied, and we can't help it. ”
Surrounded by a group of maids, the fragrance rippled, so that the ancient emperor Xuan really couldn't sink into the concentration of cultivation, and could only pray in his heart for his mother to be satisfied quickly.
"Fourth Young Master, Madam is very satisfied with your current dress, let me call you to the main hall to meet guests. There are a lot of guests here today. A maid ran into the courtyard and said excitedly.
Gu Dixuan was dressed in a black gold-rimmed aristocratic dress with intricate embroidery, walking on the bluestone main road leading to the main hall in the mansion, and his heart was quite irritable, "Why didn't you find this broken road so long, if you miss it today, you must get a sedan chair to sit on." ”
Entering the main hall, it is the ancient emperor Xuan who has the spirit of a modern person, and he can be regarded as a character who has seen a big scene, and he is also shocked by the scene he saw.
In the wide main hall, colorful lanterns are hanging, red silk is fluttering, and people are boiling, and I am afraid that hundreds of tables of banquets have been opened. Ran Anna was busy greeting the guests during the banquet, and when she saw Gu Dixuan coming in, she hurriedly stepped forward to take Gu Dixuan's hand and introduce them to the guests dressed in gorgeous clothes.
Gu Dixuan, who was like a walking corpse, was pulled by his mother, shuttling among the many guests, numbly handing gifts to the maids behind him.
A fat nobleman with a shiny face got up and said in a loud voice: "On the occasion of the birthday of the honorable little lord, I wish the little lord a long life and good health, and all the best." ”
During the banquet, everyone responded.
"Where are the idiots, there are really stupid bs shouting along. Ten years old?" Gu Dixuan scolded in his heart, listlessly dealing with many boring nobles and boring congratulatory messages.
For a whole day, Gu Dixuan was in a cycle of greetings, thanks, and gifts. Although it is said that the income is high, it is also quite confusing.
At the beginning of the lanterns, Gu Dixuan and his mother sent off the guests of Manchu one after another, and sighed in their hearts, "The old man is still smart, and he doesn't know where to go when he only comes out and shows his side." Dealing with these extravagant and ignorant aristocrats is really boring to the extreme. ”
Gu Dixuan, who had just sat down with his mother to rest, was picked up by his mother after a "holy decree has arrived" and hurriedly walked outside the hall. Immediately following the holy decree were the important ministers of the court, and Gu Aotian came out of nowhere and beckoned.
These high-ranking and powerful ministers are indeed not comparable to those small nobles, and they do not mention the "birthday" of the ancient emperor Xuan, but come to congratulate the ancient dragon on his victory.
The gifts of the emperor and his ministers were not given by the piece, but by the team. Just the team carrying gifts entered the mansion for more than half an hour, which opened the eyes of the ancient emperor Xuan, who had not completely taken off the earthy taste.
After tossing in the middle of the night, the middle door of the Gu family mansion was closed, which meant that the guests were scattered. The family was finally able to eat together, but Anna leaned on the soft collapse tiredly, and the maid gently pounded her sore calves for her, and she was very satisfied with today's banquet with a smile on her face, "Xuan'er, you are covered with your father's light today." In this entire imperial capital, I am afraid that everyone no longer knows the name of the fourth young master of the ancient family. ”
Gu Dixuan also sat down on the chair, poured juice into his mouth, and said vaguely: "Next time, if you have this good thing, let it be given to the second brother." ”
"Fourth brother, the second brother is here to thank you in advance, your third sister and I have been envious of you for a day. ”
Gu Yue stretched out her hand and snatched the cup from Gu Dixuan's hand, and said viciously: "Little villain, you have received a lot of gifts today, and my sister wants to divide half of them." ”
Gu Dixuan, who was hiding behind Ran Anna in an instant, looked at his mother pitifully, "Mom, look, the third sister is going to rob me again." Those gifts are the result of a hard day's work. ”
Ran Anna hugged Gu Di Xuan to her chest and took out an amethyst card, "Xuan'er, my mother gave you a birthday gift." ”
Gu Yue looked at the amethyst card that quickly disappeared into Gu Dixuan's hand, and said dissatisfiedly: "You little villain, don't show it to your sister." ”
Gu Dixuan's little hand was placed in front of Gu Yue, "Sister, my birthday gift." ”
Gu Yue wrinkled her delicate and beautiful nose, took out a crystal ball as pure as clear water from her bosom and stuffed it into Gu Dixuan's hand.
