Chapter 10: The Family Feast
As the old lady spoke, she suddenly sighed, a pair of Danfeng eyes were rare red, and her voice was a little more old and nostalgic, "Everyone knows that I am noble and lucky, as a woman with a foreign surname, I was named the county lord, married to the hot champion of the imperial court, after marriage, my husband has made great achievements, won many miraculous achievements, and won a good lady, outsiders don't know, but I don't know it myself?"
Where in this world is there no reason to be lucky, the position of the county lord is in exchange for his father's life, marriage, is his own fight over, after the death of my father, I know very well, how can I immerse myself in sadness, as the eldest daughter, and the only son, the honor of this big family, are on my shoulders, that year, I was only fourteen years old, more than a year older than you now. ”
"Old lady......" Fang Gu called in a distressed low voice on the side, she had followed the old lady for many years, and she hadn't heard her mention those days for a long time.
"Grandmother, I was not good before, greedy for comfort, but I forgot what I should do." Gu Chuyue lowered her eyes and said softly.
The old lady didn't speak, first wiped the tears that came out of the corners of her eyes, smiled and said three "good" words, and finally sighed: "It is worthy of my granddaughter." ”
Gu Chuyue stretched out her hand to hold the old lady's hand, her palm was warm and the clear wrinkle feeling, and said firmly: "Thank you grandmother for your teachings, Chuyue will definitely live up to grandmother's expectations." ”
The old lady attached her other hand to her hand, and said slowly: "You are on the road of wealth and wealth, but this wealth, in addition to the family's, also depends on your own. ”
The matter was solved, and the old lady was no longer worried, but she had just talked about some things in the past, and she suddenly fell into her memories and couldn't extricate herself.
Gu Chuyue wanted to make her grandmother happy again, so she thought of a lot of funny jokes, at first the old lady just smiled as a response, and then she worked harder, making her grandmother very happy, and even the eyes that were dyed with sadness faded a little sad.
The old lady pulled her to say something again, and the two of them forgot the hour for a while, and so did Aunt Fang, until a maid outside came to invite her, saying that the master had arrived in the main hall, so she slowly got up, and went to the main hall with the support of Aunt Fang and Gu Chuyue on the other.
In the main hall, everyone was already seated, Gu Chuyue took a simple look, in addition to the Wang family she knew and her father, there was also a good-looking young girl.
The hair bun is exquisite, there are not many beads, but at first glance it is very valuable, the palm-sized pointed melon seed face, the thin bend of the distant mountain eyebrows, the skin is white and snowy, and the goose yellow dotted skirt is like a delicate jasmine, and the fragrance is smelled from afar.
"Yang and February are full of flowers, and the warm scenery dissolves", this is Gu Mingyuan and Wang's second daughter - Gu Fangfei.
It seems that everyone has arrived at this banquet, except for her younger brother Gu Qingshao, who accompanied the fifth prince to the outer city to check the accounts, and his father's biological mother, Wen's.
But as far as Gu Chuyue knows, in addition to the status of multiple aunts in ancient times, the concubine room was upgraded in the level of residence, but it was still called a slave maid, and the concubine room could not be served at a large dinner like a family banquet.
Because Gu Chuyue came in with the old lady, she also took advantage of the treatment of welcoming the whole family.
The meals have all been served, just waiting for the old lady to take the first bite.
Usually, the first bite of the family banquet has to be eaten by the old lady, and others can move the chopsticks, but today it has been reversed.
The old lady picked up the chopsticks, ignored the vegetarian food at hand, and took a piece of roast duck meat, which was not placed on her plate, but turned around and arrived on Gu Chuyue's plate.
She blinked, and though the meat might be a little heavy to eat, she had to eat it.
So he smiled sweetly: "Thank you, grandmother." "I took a small bite.
The old lady said: "Today is a family banquet, there are not so many rules and constraints, let's eat quickly." ”
At a family banquet, Gu Chuyue didn't say anything, just blindly ate the dishes in the bowl, and didn't say a word more.
After the family banquet, Aunt Fang behind the old lady reminded "intimately": "Old lady, didn't you say that you are going to chant this afternoon, a few days ago, the eldest lady disappeared and made a wish, and said that she would go to repay her vows today, chanting and reciting the great virtues of the Buddha." ”
The old lady nodded suddenly in realization, "Yes, look at my age, I have almost forgotten what happened yesterday today, I am really old." ”
As soon as these words came out, Gu Mingyuan was the first to frown, and then smiled sincerely: "Mother is only worthy of the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, and she can live a long life of 100 years and live a long life." ”
On the side, Wang also echoed, "A few days ago, I went to my mother's house to say goodbye, and I happened to meet Imperial Doctor Li, who also praised my mother's strong body, according to my daughter-in-law, she is getting younger and younger." ”
As soon as Wang spoke, his tone was tactful and his voice was gentle, which made people feel comfortable when they heard it.
Gu Chuyue secretly raised her eyebrows, in ancient times, it was normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, and even if the wives and concubines were harmonious, they would be praised.
In this huge bachelor's mansion, her father is a high-ranking official, but there is only one Wang family in the backyard, who can cut off or obstruct countless delicate flowers and make Gu Mingyuan's backyard the only one, this Wang family is also a character with good means.
The old lady pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "You also love to pick some nice words to coax me." So saying, he got up.
However, before getting up, the pair of Danfeng eyes seemed to inadvertently sweep over Gu Chuyue's apricot eyes full of braised prawns, and the implication could not be more obvious.
Gu Chuyue is not a stupid person, seeing that her grandmother is like this, she had to reluctantly withdraw her gaze and swallow her saliva involuntarily.
She got up, supported her grandmother with one hand, and said with a sweet smile: "Granddaughter send grandmother back, and just go to thank the Buddha who is compassionate and compassionate." ”
The old lady reached out and patted the back of her hand, and said, "Okay, you have returned safely, and you really have to go and worship the Buddha." ”
As soon as the old lady said that she was leaving, everyone stood up and prepared to send them off.
Gu Mingyuan bent down slightly, very respectful, with a kind and sincere smile on his face, and said, "Mother walk slowly." Then he said to Gu Chuyue, "Your grandmother is happy, don't bother with the past." ”
Gu Chuyue lowered her eyebrows and rarely did not openly contradict him, and suddenly felt a lot of relief in her heart.
At this time, Gu Fangfei took a silk handkerchief and dipped the sauce on the side of her mouth, walked to Gu Mingyuan's side, and said, "Daddy, since the eldest sister has lost her memory, she has become more demure than before, and it is too late for grandmother and her old people to like it, how can she still dislike it." ”
