Chapter 13 The reunion dinner on the night of the Lantern Festival, Steward Luo's half a glass of wine

The person who came was a young man in his early eighteen.

The face is as square as a knife and an axe, the bridge of the nose is high, the eyebrows are as thick as black silkworms, and the eyes are deep and keen, as if they were carved out of the same mold as the cheap father Gu Yanlie, and he looks like a heroic martial artist by nature.

This person is Gu Changan's stinky younger brother, Gu Yanning, who served as the general of Shenlong Wei Zhonglang at the age of eighteen.

As soon as he appeared, the atmosphere of the entire vestibule compound was immediately Xiao Xiao, and the subordinates who were still chattering just now all lowered their eyebrows at this moment, and there were two invisible big words written on their faces in their eyes - awe!

"Tonight is Shangyuan Night, there are so many chores in the house, can you finish it?"

Gu Yanning's eagle-like cold and sharp gaze swept over everyone in the courtyard, and those subordinates hurriedly lowered their heads and covered their faces, and left this place one after another.

After clearing these inconsequential servants, Gu Yanning looked at his half-brother, and a long-lost smile suddenly appeared on his face:

"Oops! I said which distinguished guest came to visit, it turned out to be my eldest brother Gu Yanning. Big brother, you and I haven't seen each other for a long time, but I miss my brother very much. ”

His smile was squeezed out at a glance, and he didn't smile at all, and he was very dry.

Gu Qingyun turned around and slapped his backhand as a gesture, half joking and half warning: "What Chang'an says is also your eldest brother, you don't have to be yin and yang in the future, I will beat you like this again." ”

Gu Yanning dodged his head sideways, and said with a grin: "Eldest sister, every word I just said is sincere, not a single sentence is weird, I really miss my eldest brother." ”

Gu Qingyun said angrily: "You are a natural martial artist, but you don't have a father's positive type. ”

Gu Yanning didn't care about her, and walked straight to Gu Changan's side, and took turns showing off his muscles with both hands to bend his arms, and his smile did not decrease: "Big brother, our brothers haven't been fighting martial arts for a long time, so let's fight him for three hundred rounds tonight?" ”

This stinky younger brother was born with a burly figure, at the age of fourteen he could carry the Ding, at the age of fifteen he subdued the black blind man with his bare hands in the autumn hunt, and at the age of sixteen he had broken through the third realm of martial arts.

At this time, he had already entered the sword heart of the four realms of martial arts, and was trying to temper a one-foot and two-foot-long Huilong Moon Spear into his own natal Xuan Soldier.

Gu Changan was not annoyed, but flicked his sleeves like a master, and said with a calm smile: "Second brother, why don't you let Brother Wei check your academic homework first." The four books, five classics, six Tao and three strategies that my brother gave you last time, I don't know how well you have learned?

"Our father, who is far away in the north to fight against the beast barbarian army, but every once in a while, he will pass me a book on the paper crane, and let the brother urge you to read and learn words."

As soon as he heard this, the smug brilliance in Gu Yanning's eyes vanished, and the smile on the corner of his mouth slowly disappeared: "Read and learn words...... As long as I can write my own name, I will be a warrior who gallops on the battlefield like my father in the future, what is the use of reading so many books? ”

"The last person to talk like you, his bones were already cold."

Gu Changan pretended to shake his head profoundly, and then said eloquently: "King Xiang said: 'Books are enough to remember names and surnames. The sword is one enemy, not enough to learn, and to learn ten thousand enemies. ’

"Look, the pattern of other people is at least one level higher than you, and they also know that they have to learn the art of war of ten thousand enemies. But in the end, didn't he end up with an embattled Wujiang self-slaughter? ”

For the few unfathomable words that Gu Changan popped up from time to time, Gu Qingyun and Gu Yanning should have been accustomed to it, but at this time, the two sisters and brothers couldn't help but look at each other......

Who is King Xiang in Chang'an?

At first glance, it sounds like a hero.

But it seems to be ...... Empty brute strength, not good at studying, only to embark on the end of the road?

Gu Qingyun shook his head, and didn't bother to search for dry intestines anymore, after all, Taishi is five thousand years old, and there are endless celebrity anecdotes, Gu Changan can remember so much, it is naturally all his ability.

As soon as the thought was reached, she was like a selfless referee, and threw a serious look at her younger brother Gu Yanning: "Did you hear that?" Your eldest brother is very subtle. There are endless troubles after learning martial arts and scrapping literature, what's the use of you only dancing with guns and sticks all day long, and don't learn how to study hard with your eldest brother! ”

"Big brother, he...... I...... I'm not ......."

Gu Yanning scratched his ears and cheeks for a while, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it, and finally he could only stare at his eldest brother with a red face.

Stinky brother, you still want to learn martial arts with me...... Gu Changan narrowed his eyes slightly, only pretending not to see it.

At this time, a noble lady and a fat butler appeared under the eaves at the same time.

The noble lady looked at the three sisters and brothers of the Gu family from afar, and there was no joy or anger on her graceful and noble face: "Since everyone has arrived, then don't stand here, go back to the inner room to have a banquet." ”

"Okay, mother."

Gu Qingyun and Gu Yanning turned around at the same time and answered.

The noble lady's lukewarm gaze wandered on Gu Changan for a moment before she turned around and walked towards the inner room, giving her a rather powerful aura.

She is the current mother of the Gu family, Mrs. Dugu from her cousin Dugu family.

Gu Changan looked at the back of Mrs. Dugu leaving, and some complicated emotions slowly welled up in his eyes.

"Chang'an, come in, today is Shangyuan Festival, let's have a reunion dinner as a family." Gu Qingyun saw that Gu Changan didn't move, so he turned around and urged again.

……

The fat butler led Chen Xuanzong into a side room alone, pointed to a small table of wine and food in front of him, and said with a smile:

"Mr. Chen, it's noisy outside, so it's inconvenient to dine with you. I'm sorry for you to eat alone in this side room, Wanwang Haihan! ”

Although Chen Xuanzong was nominally the sword slave of his eldest son, he still sincerely called him "Mr. Chen".

In the eyes of the servants in the Gu Mansion, Chen Xuanzong was no different from the guards around other dignitaries and children of the family, they were just more ruthless and more profound. Only the fat butler is the one who really knows Chen Xuanzong's origins.

Chen Xuanzong glanced at the remote environment slightly, and his tone did not make a trace of waves: "It's okay, I have already opened up the valley, and the wine and food in the world are dispensable." ”

"Then I won't bother Mr. Chen, I need you to give me another command."

The fat butler left the side room with a smile and turned around and walked to the main hall of the back room.

At this time, it was getting late, and the lanterns were hanging high in the Gu Mansion, and there was a festive atmosphere.

In the main hall of the back room, Mrs. Dugu and the three sisters and brothers of the Gu family were already seated.

Under the care of Mrs. Dugu, the housemother, the Gu Mansion is well organized in all aspects, and even the seating of this meal is very exquisite.

In the absence of the second-grade Shenlongwei General, this Dugu lady sat alone in the north and facing south, secretly in line with the direction of Ziwei, the head of the auspicious star, symbolizing her supreme and noble position in the Gu Mansion now.

Gu Yanning and Gu Qingyun are the descendants of the Gu Mansion, one level higher, sitting on her left and right, both male left and female right, and also secretly in line with the unspoken rules of male superiority and female inferiority.

And although Gu Changan is the nominal son of the Gu family, he is actually a concubine, and he is an illegitimate child, who is not as good as Mrs. Dugu's own child, so he was arranged to the next position.

It is not sitting upright in the south and facing north, facing directly at this graceful and luxurious Mrs. Dugu, who has a prominent family, but a little to the east, close to the seat of some stinky brother Gu Yanning.

Before the banquet, the Dugu lady recited the prayer solemnly: "At the beginning of the new year, everything is renewed, the moon is full, and the year is safe!" ”

After reading it, she looked at the fat butler who had just entered the door and ordered, "Lao Luo, go and take out the Xifeng wine in the cellar that I have hidden for fifteen years." ”

The fat butler Lao Luo bowed his head and said, "Yes, madam." He quickly left the hall.

Not long after, he came back with a wine jar, first prepared wine glasses for Mrs. Dugu and the three sisters and brothers of the Gu family, and then slapped open the mud seal, and poured wine for the four of them in the order of the eldest and youngest.

The cup is a fine blue and white jade porcelain cup.

The wine is the best fifteen-year-old Xifeng wine, clear and transparent, mellow and elegant.

However, Gu Changan looked carefully, and this Steward Luo was also very particular about his pouring technique.

Because he poured a full cup for Mrs. Dugu, Gu Qingyun and Gu Yanning.

When I poured him wine, I only had half a glass.

Gu Changan couldn't help but be stunned.

After Steward Luo poured this half glass of wine, he just gave Gu Changan a wry smile, but he didn't dare to explain anything in front of Mrs. Dugu.
