Chapter 14: An Uninvited Guest at Night

Mrs. Dugu also seemed to notice the strangeness of Gu Changan's expression, and said expressionlessly: "You have a father and no mother, and you were not born to me, so you can only be regarded as half of my Gu family." Pour half a glass of wine, in line with etiquette. ”

Gu Changan frowned and was silent, this Gu family's housewife said it clearly, as if she really couldn't find an angle to refute.

The atmosphere at the banquet became a little awkward for a while.

Lao Luo, the fat butler in charge of pouring the wine, looked at his nose and nose, and shook his hand with peace of mind and became a non-stick pan.

The second brother Gu Yanning turned a deaf ear, just looked at a large table full of dishes, and wiped his saliva: "This is Guifei Hong, this is Changsheng porridge, and there are scallion vinegar chicken, roasted quail, fairy belly, and Tonghua soft beef intestines...... Although it is not a roasted tail feast, it is better than a roasted tail feast! ”

The eldest sister Gu Qingyun looked at the mother at the head of the banquet with a resentful expression: "Mother, is it a bit too foreign for you to say this at this time?" ”

Mrs. Dugu was overjoyed and angry, but four majestic characters burst out between her lips: "This is etiquette." ”

Seeing that her mother was not sympathetic, Gu Qingyun turned to Gu Changan and smiled: "Chang'an, give me your half glass of wine, and I'll give you my cup." ”

Although Gu Changan's face was light, there was really a trace of warmth in his heart.

At a critical time, you still have to rely on the eldest sister to cover it.

Although Gu Qingyun was only a few years older than him, she still treated him very well on the whole, despite her black spots.

Although Gu Changan slandered the eldest sister from time to time behind his back, it was just a few boring ridicules after tea and dinner, and he couldn't do a lot.

However, in the face of the eldest daughter's elbow turning outward, Mrs. Dugu's fair forehead still wrinkled a few black lines: "Etiquette is etiquette!" Qingyun, you have repeatedly exceeded the etiquette system, do you still think that you are not enough to corrupt my Gu family's family style? ”

Gu Qingyun's own buttocks are not clean, after the untimely death of her two husbands, the first seven days passed, and she didn't even want to be widowed for half a day, so she directly packed up and ran back to her parents' house, and since then she has been cut off from her in-law's family. Due to the monstrous power of the Gu family and the Dugu family, the in-laws also dare to be angry and dare not speak, but there are quite a few complaints behind the scenes.

was accused by his mother in person, Gu Qingyun flew two red clouds on her cheeks, and she didn't dare to stand up for Gu Changan, but silently lowered her head and picked up the dishes and chopsticks.

"Today is the Shangyuan Festival, don't talk about these unpleasant things. Move the chopsticks, move the chopsticks, otherwise the dishes will be cold. ”

Gu Yanning quickly got off his chopsticks and devoured them, but before he could eat a few bites, his attention was on Gu Chang'an, and he asked curiously: "By the way, eldest brother, didn't His Majesty the Queen of Heaven let you go to the Guangming Temple to be a night envoy?" But why did you come back today in bad clothes, didn't you pass the assessment of the night envoy? ”

You really can't open any pot...... Gu Changan didn't explain anything, just smiled back as plain as water.

No matter how you explain it, it's not a good choice at this time.

But Gu Yanning still didn't give up: "I heard that bad people are all little bad seeds, and their hands and feet have never been clean. Big brother, you must not stay too long among the bad people, you must find a way to leave the bad people in the future and pass the assessment of the night envoy again! ”

Gu Changan could only say perfunctorily: "Yes, yes, what you said is right." ”

At the beginning of the banquet, Mrs. Dugu looked at her precious son, and finally showed a long-lost smile: "Yan Ning, what about you, how have you been with Shenlongwei recently?" ”

Gu Yanning raised his head and smiled smugly: "Our Shenlongwei is the most elite palace guard in Daheng, on the surface, the majesty and martial scenery are infinite, but in fact, we are standing guard and patrolling around the Vientiane Divine Palace every day, and there are not many things to deal with. ”

Mrs. Dugu looked at her precious son, and her eyes showed a look of approval: "Well, you just need to guard against arrogance and rashness, and you will definitely be a great talent in the future." ”

"But ......" Gu Yanning's smile was fleeting.

"But what?" Mrs. Dugu asked with a frown.

Gu Yanning said: "Our Shenlongwei and Jin Luanwei have always been in a relationship of confrontation, but now Jin Luanwei is becoming more and more powerful, and he has been secretly competing with us, which also makes me feel anxious. ”

Mrs. Dugu said curiously: "There is such a thing? ”

Gu Yanning said with a sad face: "It's not! I heard from the palace people that there was a boat explosion that caused heavy casualties in the Baihe River in the east of the city this morning. Her Majesty ordered the Guangming Temple to thoroughly investigate the case within ten days, and if the results could not be found, Jin Luanwei would be allowed to take over the Guangming Temple.

"But the facts of this case are confusing, how can it be found out within ten days? Therefore, there is a chance that this Guangming Temple will be taken over by Jin Luanwei!

"Mother, think about it, if Jin Luanwei really takes over the Guangming Temple, then their power will be even more prosperous, and in the future, our Shenlongwei will no longer have the strength to compete with it, and can only be increasingly marginalized, which will also indirectly affect my career."

After Mrs. Dugu heard this, her brows tightened and she was silent.

Gu Changan picked up a roasted quail from the banquet and said lightly: "Second brother doesn't have to worry about the sky, Jin Luanwei won't take over the Guangming Temple." ”

As soon as the words fell, Mrs. Dugu, Gu Qingyun, and Gu Yanning all looked at him.

Gu Yanning was very surprised: "Big brother, how do you know?" ”

"Perhaps...... It's just a hunch on my part. ”

Gu Changan replied lightly, and then concentrated on nibbling on the roasted quail on the plate.

Mrs. Dugu rolled her eyes at him slightly, although she didn't say anything, but a flash of disdain flashed in her eyes.

In this cold atmosphere, the fat housekeeper Lao Luo suddenly hurriedly walked into the main hall of the inner room with a nervous look.

Mrs. Dugu hurriedly asked, "Old Luo, why is there something wrong with your expression suddenly?" ”

Steward Luo waved his sleeves to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, and said nervously: "Husband...... Madam, Jin Luanwei's Qiushuijun suddenly came to visit the mansion......"

"What?!" Mrs. Dugu and Gu Yanning's mother and son froze at the same time.

Since Queen Dugu took power, she has done a lot of torture and murder to fabricate charges and crack down on different parties, among which the most relied on is Jin Luanwei, who she single-handedly supported......

Although Mrs. Dugu and Queen Dugu are from their own family, she has always been in awe of Jin Luanwei in her heart.

Before five or six breaths passed, a group of Jin Luanwei suddenly poured into the atrium compound of the Gu Mansion, and lined up along the bluestone slab road into two majestic human walls, which frightened all the people in the mansion to retreat!

Seeing this battle, Mrs. Dugu, Gu Qingyun, and Gu Yanning stood up in shock at the same time, and walked quickly to the front of the hall, looking at the two Jinluan guard walls in the compound with both trepidation and vigilance.

At this time, a woman in a white official robe appeared at the end of the corridor of the human wall, walked briskly towards the main hall of the inner hall, laughed loudly, and her voice was as clear as snow:

"Mrs. Dugu, Miss Gu, and Second Prince Gu don't have to be nervous, I'm not here to find fault, but to give ——!gifts."

Gifts??

The shock on the faces of Mrs. Dugu, Gu Qingyun, and Gu Yanning was incomprehensible.

Jin Luanwei supervises the common people, civil and military officials, and strange people, and is also a sharp sword that kills people without blinking...... When did you learn to give gifts?

However, in a moment, Baili Qiushui, who was dressed in a white robe, had already walked to the front of the hall and saluted Mrs. Dugu's mother and son: "Rushing to the door to visit the house, Baili Qiushui is disturbed." ”

Mrs. Dugu barely squeezed out a smile: "I don't know who Qiushuijun wants to give a gift?" ”

Baili Qiushui smiled: "Gu eldest son, Gu Chang'an!" ”

He???

Mrs. Dugu, Gu Qingyun, Gu Yanning, mother and son were stunned on the spot.

Baili Qiushui snapped his fingers behind him, and four Jin Luan guards carried the two lacquered wooden boxes under the eaves in front of the hall.

Smack. Smack.

Two lacquered wood boxes were opened at the same time, and a piece of jewels burst out, dazzling and dazzling, illuminating half of the courtyard.
